Man who aided Americans in Iran dies
TORONTO — John Sheardown, a former Canadian diplomat who sheltered fugitive American Embassy staffers at his Tehran home at great personal risk during the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, has died. He was 88.
His wife Zena said Saturday that Sheardown passed away in an Ottawa hospital on Dec. 30. She says he had been treated for Alzheimer's disease for the past four years but also suffered from other ailments.
Sheardown, the First Secretary at the Canadian Embassy in Tehran at the time of the Islamic Revolution, played a key role in the events depicted in Ben Affleck's Oscar-contender film "Argo," although he was not portrayed in the film.
Almost a week after militant Iranian radicals seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran on November 4, 1979, taking 52 Americans hostage for 444 days in retaliation for U.S. support for the recently deposed shah, the Canadian diplomat received a call from one of the six Americans who had managed to evade capture. American consular officer Robert Anders was calling his friend Sheardown for help.
"'What took you so long?'" was Sheardown's reply, said his wife Zena.
After that phone call, the Sheardowns agreed without hesitation to shelter four of the six Americans in secrecy in their 20-room house in Tehran. Canadian ambassador, Ken Taylor, housed the other two Americans.
"It would have been selfish for us not to do so," Zena Sheardown told The Associated Press from her current home in Ottawa, Ontario. "There weren't many places to hide in Iran, we had the room, they needed our help and it was just not in John's nature to refuse help to anyone."
For 79 days, the pair lived a low-profile life in tumultuous Tehran, facilitating a household that was comfortable and welcoming for the Americans, while helicopters streamed overhead, everyone's nerves calmed only by boisterous dinners together and heartfelt hospitality.
"We have a lot of fond memories. We spent American Thanksgiving together, New Year's Eve, together. Every night we would all sit around for dinner together. There was a lot of humor and laughter. It was a nice time to have to spend together," she said. "We tried to be protective, but we also went out of our way to make them feel as if they weren't imposing on us."
She said her husband became the father figure of the household, whom everyone would turn to for advice when they went through moments of fear.
"He kind of became our leader and since he was a pipe smoker and had more of a mature nature, he became known as 'Big Daddy,' everyone would wait for Big Daddy to come home," she said chuckling.
While Sheardown might be best known for his role in what became known as the "Canadian Caper," he was noticeably absent from "Argo," which told the story of how the CIA used a fake Hollywood film crew to rescue the six U.S. Embassy staffers sheltered by the Canadians. Affleck has apologized for leaving Sheardown out of the film, which he said was the result of time constraints and plot developments.
"It was frustrating," said Zena Sheardown. "It would have been nice if the story was told correctly because basically, if the Canadians weren't there to help, who knows what would have happened to those Americans."
In a story posted in October on the Slate magazine website, one of the rescued American diplomats, Mark Lijek, said Sheardown's role was "indispensable."
"Without his enthusiastic welcome we might have tried to survive on our own a few more days. We would have failed," said Lijek.
Sheardown was made a Member of the Order of Canada for his role in the rescue. His wife later also received the award for her role.
Born in Sandwich, Ontario, later absorbed by Windsor, on Oct. 11, 1924, John Vernon Sheardown joined the Royal Canadian Air Force at age 18. He flew scores of Lancaster bomber missions in World War II. On one mission, he barely managed to get his flak-riddled plane back to Britain. With the Lancaster losing power, he told his crew to bail out. He tried to wrestle the aircraft under control before opting to leap at the last minute. His chute barely had time to open and he broke both legs upon impact.
"I often thought he had nine lives with the way he lived his life," his wife said.
He stayed in the Canadian Armed Forces after the war, serving in Korea, before joining Canada's immigration service around 1962. He was posted in London, Glasgow, New Delhi and Los Angeles, during his extensive 27-year diplomatic career.
"He was a proud, dignified man, proud to serve his country, a dedicated foreign services officer and well-respected by all," his wife said.
It was that dignified air that caught the eye of his future wife when she first spotted him in the Canadian High Commission in London, England.
"He looked like an English gentleman, he was smoking a pipe, very dapper," she said, with warmth in her voice.
She asked a friend who that was and her friend replied: "That's John Sheardown, the kindest man I've ever known. If he was down to his last penny and he thought you needed it, he would give it to you."
The two were married in Los Angeles in 1975. It was his second marriage.
"It was a long love story," she said, her voice cracking with emotion. "He lived a wonderful life and we shared many wonderful years together."
Besides his wife, the former Zena Khan, he is survived by his sons, Robin and John; his sisters, Jean Fitzsimmons and Betty Ann Whitehead; six grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren.

Each of us at least once faced with a situation when unexpected expenses arise sharply, but there is not enough money. What to do? Borrow from friends and constantly think, when can you return? In this situation, the best way is to use a express credit card. She will call you not to worry that the money will need to be returned from day to day. You can pay for any purchases with a express credit card, as all modern supermarkets, online stores, etc. have long been equipped with special terminals for cards.
How and where to get a express credit card?
A express credit card is issued by the bank for a certain amount. The bank sets the card limit based on the clients solvency. The card is issued on passport data. When you come to the bank, contact a specialist for detailed information on obtaining a express credit card. Provide all necessary documents. An employee of the bank will issue you a contract in which the loan amount, the time after which you must repay the loan, the validity period of the express credit card and other information will be indicated. Carefully read the details of the contract and sign it. Then you will get a card with a personal PIN code.
How to behave if you forgot your PIN or lost your express credit card?
If you have forgotten the PIN code from your express credit card or by entering a wrong code, you have accidentally blocked it, then contact the bank. Provide the employee with all the documents confirming that this is really your card and the specialist will help you to make a new PIN code. If you have lost your card, then immediately contact the bank to block the card, otherwise fraudsters will be able to use it.
How to use a express credit card?
When you receive a express credit card with a certain amount, you can withdraw the entire amount immediately, or you can do it gradually. You can withdraw money directly at the banks box office or at a special terminal. You can also pay with a card without withdrawing money from it. A express credit card involves paying for goods in online stores, paying for tickets and much more. To do this, you must enter your card number, then confirm the payment using SMS with a special code. Using a express credit card is quite simple. The main thing, do not forget to replenish the card at the right time.

A Time to Sell…and Borrow
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
"To everything there is a season."
No, the Byrds didn't originally write that. And when Pete Seeger composed Turn! Turn! Turn! years before the iconic '60s folk-rock group made it a hit, he put to music the words of the Book of Ecclesiastes. And that famous verse was cited again last week, this time by a billionaire financier.
"It's almost biblical. There is a time to reap and there's a time to sow," Leon Black, chairman and chief executive of Apollo Global Management (ticker: APO) declared to the Milken Institute's global conference in Los Angeles, alluding to that same Scriptural passage. "We are harvesting," he added pointedly.
That is, the private-equity giant is a net seller because things simply can't get much better. "We think it's a fabulous environment to be selling," he says, noting Apollo has sold about $13 billion in assets in the past 15 months. "We're selling everything that's not nailed down. And if we're not selling, we're refinancing."
That's because there has never been such a good time to borrow -- which is raising warning flags for Black. "The financing market is as good as we have ever seen it. It's back to 2007 levels. There is no institutional memory," he observed, referring to the peak of the last credit bubble. That was when then-Citigroup CEO Chuck Prince famously said that as long as the music was playing, bankers had to keep dancing -- which they did, with disastrous consequences when the band stopped.
Black's perspective is rooted in his long experience, which has encompassed the credit booms and busts of the past three decades of financial history. It started with Drexel Burnham (whose junk-bond unit was headed by Michael Milken, at whose eponymously named conference Black spoke) which helped the nascent junk-bond market come of age in the 1980s -- before the market's bust with Drexel's demise and Milken's conviction on securities violations. Black co-founded Apollo shortly thereafter, in 1990. Then came the dot-com bubble and bust at the turn of the 21st century, which was followed by the housing bubble and bust.
Black evidently is wary not only because he's seen this movie before and knows how it ends; he's lived it. Prices for his investments never have been better, while borrowing never has been anywhere near as cheap. But private-equity investors need a finely honed sense of value. And others at the Milken confab admitted to having trouble finding investments at reasonable prices -- even with the unprecedentedly low cost of capital bringing down hurdle rates -- because of inflated asset values.
There are precedents for private-equity titans picking propitious times to sell. Blackstone Group's (BX) initial public offering nearly six years ago marked the peak of the buyout boom, as Andrew Bary suggested at the time in a Barron's cover story ("Top of the Market," June 25, 2007), still available at barrons.com. Blackstone's shares came public at $31 and traded as high as $38 in its debut -- and never saw those prices again. The stock plunged to around $4 at the nadir of the crisis in early 2009; and though it has recovered steadily with the bull market, hitting a 52-week high Friday of $21.98, it is still 29% below the IPO price. That's part of the definition of successful investing -- buy low, sell high -- an eternal verity, even if it doesn't come from the Bible.
THAT THE MARKET FOR FINANCING has never been this good was evident in the land rush of corporate and government borrowers -- from blue chips to cow chips in terms of pedigree -- into whose hands investors were eager to thrust their money.
Apple (AAPL) stole the show with its record $17 billion blowout deal that had corporate bond investors lined up the way iPhone buyers once queued up for the latest iteration. As a result of a reported $50 billion in orders for the securities, the cult company from Cupertino was able to borrow at vanishingly low interest rates -- as little as 0.45% for three-year, fixed-rate debt -- to return some $100 billion in cash to its shareholders by the end of 2015. Apple also avoided as much as $9.2 billion in taxes by borrowing instead of repatriating its $145 billion hoard of cash, mostly held abroad, a Moody's analyst told Bloomberg News. Meanwhile, the underwriters, led by Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank, pocketed $53.25 million in fees for peddling the bonds, which sold themselves, as evidenced by their generating nearly $3 in orders for every $1 of securities sold. Nice work if you can get it.
Other gilt-edged credits also took advantage of the generous terms on offer, such as International Business Machines (IBM), which matched Apple's 0.45% three-year borrowing tab, while setting a record low of 1.625% for a seven-year maturity. Equally astounding is what is happening in what is still called the high-yield market, where yields hit a record low of 5.12%, according to the Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Master Index II.
And the reach for yield extends around the globe. Chinese oil company CNOOC (CEO) sold $4 billion in debt last week, for which Bloomberg says it got nearly six times as much in bids, with the bulk going to U.S. asset managers. But the biggest beneficiaries of this blind frenzy have been governments that not long ago were virtual pariahs in the capital markets, such as Rwanda, as noted here last week. In addition, Slovenia -- which was thought just weeks ago to be a candidate to follow in the footsteps of Cyprus as a euro-zone catastrophe -- was able to borrow $3.5 billion, despite seeing its credit rating cut below investment grade. And Slovenia received $16 billion in bids for those bonds -- equal to nearly one-third of its gross domestic product -- for five-year securities yielding 4.95% and 10-year bonds yielding 6%.
But compared with other dubious debtors in the euro zone had to offer, those yields seemed positively generous. Yields on benchmark government bonds in Spain and Italy are under 4%, while Portugal's are at 5.50%. And those were high, compared with 10-year German bunds, which hit a record low yield of 1.16% last week.
Investors are falling all over themselves to fund borrowers good, bad, and indifferent. If that reminds you of the subprime-mortgage melt-up of the middle of the last decade, when anybody with a pulse could borrow -- aided and abetted by the capital markets -- it also does to the likes of Leon Black.
THIS DESPERATE REACH FOR YIELD, of course, is a product of central banks' drive to push interest rates to the floor and flood the financial system to drag down borrowing costs for corporations, homeowners or buyers, and second-tier governments, all to spur stagnant economies. Those economies aren't growing because of the effects of the bursting of the previous bubble, which was inflated to offset the bubble before that, but never mind.
The full-court press extended to the European Central Bank, which lowered its key policy rate, as expected, by a quarter of a percentage point, to 0.5%. Mario Draghi, its chief, said the ECB, to spur the banks to expand credit, could conceivably charge them a fee to park their cash at the central bank, instead of paying them interest.
Back in the U.S., the Fed's Open Market Committee said that it could boost or reduce its current $85 billion-a-month securities purchases, depending on the outlook for the economy. Previously, the markets and Fed watchers were wondering mainly about a tapering, instead of a possible increase, in the central bank's bond-buying spree.
All of which has produced the best of all possible worlds for the stock market: Good news is good news, while bad news means continued central-bank money-printing. And with favorable headlines Friday about the U.S. jobs market, major averages hit historic highs.
The markets were surprised by news that nonfarm payrolls rose 165,000 in April, a bit better than the consensus call for a 150,000 increase but a lot better when sharp upward revisions in the two preceding months totaling 114,000 workers were added in. The unemployment rate -- derived from a separate survey of households -- ticked down to 7.5% from 7.6% (actually to 7.51% from 7.57% before rounding to one decimal place), but this time it was because more people had jobs, not because people dropped out of the labor force.
But the details of the jobs report were less cause for exuberance than the stock market displayed. Despite expanded payrolls and a lower official jobless rate, Americans actually worked less last month because of a 0.2- hour drop in the workweek, resulting in total hours worked dropping 0.4% for the month. The U-6 underemployment rate, which covers folks who are working part-time but want full-time gigs or have stopped looking for work, ticked up to 13.9% from 13.8%, the first rise since last July, Philippa Dunne and Doug Henwood of the Liscio Report note. And in the household survey, some 306,000 joined the ranks of the self-employed, more than the total 293,000 overall gain.
Says David Rosenberg, chief economist of Gluskin Sheff: "So we had a lot of folks ostensibly becoming consultants working out of their basement offices in April and not exactly picking up much business according to what the income numbers told us for the month," with average weekly earnings off 0.4%.
During bubbles, such nettlesome details tend to get overlooked.

Ethel Shatford: I love your dream.
Billy's voice: The fogs just lifting. Throw off you're battle line, throw off you're stern. You head out to South channel, past Rocky Neck, Ten pound island. Past Niles Pond where I skated as a kid. Blow you're airhorn and throw a wave to the lighthouse keeper's kid on Thatcher Island. Then the birds show up black backs, herring gulls, big dumb ducks.

For those of us left behind, the vast unmarked grave which is home for those lost at sea is no consolation. It can't be visited, there is no headstone on which to rest a bunch of flowers... The only place we can revisit them, is in our hearts, or in our dreams. They say swordboatmen suffer from a lack of dreams, that's what begets their courage... Well we'll dream for you: Billy, and Bobby, and Murph, Bugsy, Sully, and Alfred Pierre... Sleep well... Good Night...

I can't even read the goodbye speech without getting teary eyed.
My mom makes fun of me soo bad when I start bawling at that part. She's like 'you know Mark isn't really dead'.. then I tell her its not only that Mark's character is dead, but the fact that the real Bobby never got to live his life with Christina, and that makes me even sadder.
--so go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and crazy, that's fine, I'll tell mine you're gay! By the way.. I hate that stupid old pick up truck you never let me drive, you're a redneck heartbreak who's really bad at lyin'--

Custom Promotional business card holders come in a variety of designs. There are two major styles:
Desktop style: Like the name suggests, the desktop style is designed to sit on the surface of a desk or table. Desktop custom business card holders come in numerous designs, and some even serve dual functions. They may have built in clocks or pen holders, for example. Desktop holders make a convenient way to keep business cards close at hand for quick referencing while you're working.
Pocket/wallet style: These kinds of promo custom business card holders are designed to be carried around in a pocket, bag or briefcase just like your wallet or cell phone. They may actually resemble a small wallet, and can be made from anything from vinyl to leather to chrome.
Choose your style with your target customer in mind. And remember, because promotional business card holders come in so many different designs and materials, you'll find a product in every price range, meaning you'll always find one that fits into your advertising budget.

Marriage proposals gone wild: It's all about how you pop the question
Bright lights, giant cameras, and a flash mob dancing to Rihanna's "We Found Love."
Sounds like the set of a music video, but it is actually how Scott Wall proposed to his beloved girlfriend, Jessica Jones, at Universal Studios in Los Angeles. Last March, the Martinez couple took what Jones thought was a spontaneous trip to Southern California. She knew something was amiss when Wall began acting peculiar at the amusement park. He asked for a specific parking lot. He stalled around Universal CityWalk. And he checked his phone every few minutes.
Suddenly, the music blared and a woman started dancing next to Jones.
"At first I thought, 'Who is this a crazy lady' and kept yanking my godson away from her,' " says Jones, 25. Then, Wall confirmed her suspicions. He pulled her close and whispered, "This is for you."
After the synchronized routine -- Wall hired 30 dancers through Bay Area (Calif.) Flash Mob to perform a number inspired by a proposal on Jones' favorite TV show, "Glee" -- Wall, 33, got down on one knee and uttered those magic words, "Will you marry me?"
"I was so excited I was shaking, and my hands were tingling," recalls Jones, who had a princess-cut diamond stunner slipped onto her finger. "I'm not really into big weddings, but he knew I wanted a proposal that was memorable and would surprise me and tell a story."
It used to be the story of "how we met." Now, a couple's most prized story is often the one about the marriage proposal. With proposal planners for hire and endless inspiration on TV and YouTube, popping the question is becoming an elaborate, often public affair.
While experts say the trend is not new -- think of proposals at family gatherings or via Jumbotron -- they do believe that social media has increased our desire to record and share these once private moments. And the more elaborate the proposal, the more fans and hits it gets.
A hidden sparkler
Ray Card and Cassie Piercy have shared a passion for food since they started dating five years ago in San Francisco. When it came time for Card, a culinary manager for the Olive Garden, to pop the question, he knew he wanted to hide the vintage diamond ring in something edible.
So he turned to the chefs at Parties that Cook, a cooking events company in San Francisco. Together, they cooked up a delicious scheme.
At a couple's night class in 2011, instructor Irfan Dama gave a speech on the pepper as the ultimate vegetable of love. "Some are sweet. Some are spicy. And some are really hot," recalls Card, 33, on how Dama set it up. Then, he invited Piercy, a restaurant server, on stage to demonstrate how to properly cut a red bell pepper."
She sliced all four sides of the pepper. The ring plopped out. She laughed in surprise. Then Card got down on one knee and Piercy began to cry.
"There was no oxygen in the room, and I'm in front of 30 people blubbering like an idiot during this intimate moment," recalls Piercy, 29. "It was kind of embarrassing, since I don't really live my life that outwardly. But the people there were so genuinely happy for us, they had tears in their eyes. I loved it."
Whether public or private, the meaning behind the gesture is what's important when planning a proposal, says Alyssa Zweibel, a San Francisco proposal planner since 2011.
Her most elaborate scheme to date involved an international flight arrival, about 30 friends and family, a gigantic portable flat-screen TV and a violinist in a tuxedo. "I would hate to think that external expectations or pressures surrounding such a personal milestone would lead to an event that wasn't truly right for a couple."
Demands on the guys
But according to associate sociology professor Amy Leisenring, there is significant pressure on men to orchestrate romantic and over-the-top proposals. There is even a competitive element to proposals and one-upping your peers, she says.
"Even in a culture with nontraditional arrangements and more women proposing, we still expect men to reflect that traditional dynamic and do something extra special," says Leisenring, who teaches at San Jose State University. "And the best way to do that is to make one of those videos that go viral."
Thomas Martino's proposal has been viewed more than 336,000 times on YouTube. When Martino decided to pop the question two years ago, he took a quieter but no less meaningful approach. He wanted the world to know how much he loved then-girlfriend Amanda Shifrin, whom he shared his first kiss with 10 years ago.
"Amanda really shines in the spotlight, so I wanted to put her in it," says Martino, 25, of Menlo Park. "If I could've wheeled in a flashing billboard, I would have."
Instead, he arranged for a private, customized tour at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, a place that holds special meaning for Shifrin, since her grandparents took her there every summer as a child. At the aquarium, they did all of Shifrin's favorite things, like feed the sharks.
Message on a map
During the tour, Corinne Eshbaugh, an aquarium employee and Shifrin's childhood friend, came by and handed her a map and calendar of events that Martino had created in advance. On the back was written, "Amanda, will you marry me? Love, Thomas."
But Shifrin didn't look at it right away. She chatted with Eshbaugh for what seemed like ages, at least to Martino. When she finally flipped the map over and read the words, Shifrin looked at her childhood sweetheart and said, "Are you serious right now?" They were married on July 7, 2012, at the Monterey Plaza Hotel just down the street from the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
Today, Amanda Martino, 24, says the proposal was perfect, because it took place in a venue that was really special to her but with relatively few people around.
"I feel very lucky that Thomas thought to do that (videotape the proposal) because it's something we'll be able to share with our children and grandchildren," she says. "I would've loved to see how my parents got engaged."

Deputy Glenn Towler of the Heard County Sheriff's Department was hospitalized after receiving injuries while assisting Officer Gary Morgan of the Franklin Police Department in detaining an individual.
The incident began at approximately 10:30pm Thursday evening while Officer Morgan was conducting routine patrol duties at the Robert Canady Apartment's, located on Mary Johnson Drive.
According to Officer Morgan, he observed a suspicious individual behind the apartments whom he knew did not live in the apartment complex and was consuming an alcoholic beverage.
As he approached the individual, identified as Miki McClendon, he began questioning the reason for his presence and discovered that the individual was intoxicated.
In addition, Officer Morgan verified that Mr. McClendon did not live in the apartment complex and had no justifiable reason for being there.
After speaking with Mr. McClendon, he was allowed to dispose of the alcoholic beverage and requested to leave the apartment complex, but became confrontational. While walking next door to 297 Mary Johnson Drive, Mr. McClendon continued to shout at Officer Morgan, causing a disturbance.
Due to Mr. McClendon's intoxication level and continued disorderly acts, Officer Morgan re-approached him in an attempt to take him into custody. Upon being provided verbal requests so that Officer Morgan could detain Mr. McClendon he failed to follow the commands.
An estimated 20 or more individuals then approached their location, resulting in Officer Morgan calling for assistance from the Heard County Sheriff's Department.
Upon the arrival of Deputies Glenn Towler and Spencer Moore, efforts to detain Mr. McClendon continued. As law enforcement officers attempted to physically detain Mr. McClendon, he resisted but was eventually handcuffed and detained.
During the struggle Deputy Towler's ankle was broken and Heard County Emergency Services was requested at the scene.
He was transported to the West Georgia Medical Center where he was hospitalized due to the severe break of his ankle in three locations.
Doctors are hopeful that he will be released on Saturday, March 31st.
Miki Demarco McClendon was charged with one count of felony Obstruction of a Law Enforcement Officer, two counts of misdemeanor Obstruction of a Law Enforcement Officer, one count of Loitering/Prowling and one count of Public Drunkenness.

Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is the sequel to Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm. It was released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and Nintendo Switch.
An enhanced re-release was bundled in Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy/Legacy for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows. The game was once again rereleased for the Nintendo Switch in 2018.
The gameplay retains many of the elements from the previous game. The game features 23 stages and 42 playable characters, two of which are secret characters. Some characters can also gain new combos and techniques by activating the Awakening Mode. Lars Alexandersson, a character from Tekken 6 whose third costume was designed by Masashi Kishimoto, is also playable in the game. There are now "single" matches, which lets players play one on one matches in Vs mode, without the use of support characters.
Support characters make a return. This time around, there are three types of support characters: attack type, defence type and balance type. There is also a new feature, named "Drive Gauge", in the game. Depending on the Drive Gauge, players will be able to unleash devastating team Jutsu with the support characters. For example, if the player has the drive gauge half full, then if the player does certain actions, the support characters will do a special action. For example, if the player has an attack type support and then starts a combo, they will add to it; if the player has a defence type, then they will guard the player while charging chakra or when the opponent dashes at the player; if the player has a balance type, then they will throw their chakra enhanced shuriken when the player use chakra and get in the way of the player if the player is about to get hit by an Ultimate Jutsu (the support character will take the damage instead of the player, in turn that support cannot be called upon again for an extended duration). Additionally, choosing certain support characters with a chosen character can strengthen attack and defence, and give the player's team a name. For example, choosing any combination between Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi will be called 'Team 7'. Reverse Chakra Dashing is now included. Ultimate Jutsu have been shortened to real time, and button combinations do not make a return, this keeps offline and online gameplay fluid. For some characters, there are two usable Jutsu in one match: one basic Jutsu and an enhanced version. When using the Jutsu for the character, if the attack button is held, the Jutsu will be enhanced (Ex. Naruto using Rasengan as his normal technique, then turning into Big Ball Rasengan by holding the attack button). Some characters can use their jutsu in mid-air. Also, health has been reduced to two health bars, instead of the three given in the previous game. An exclusive "Shuriken Clash" is available in the "Sasuke vs. Itachi" boss battle, where the shuriken button must be pressed repeatedly to give or receive damage
Free roaming also makes a return. The game features a 1:1 recreation of Konohagakure. In addition to the village, players are able to roam outside the village, ranging from forests to deserts, and Amegakure to Sunagakure. Instead of being sandbox-style free roaming, the game is more RPG-like when it comes to exploration. Boss battles return, with quick-time events and cutscenes. Boss battles are divided into 2 or more parts, depending on the boss fight. For example, the Naruto vs. Kakashi boss fight (which is held at the Training Field) contains 2 parts: one of them is normal fighting; in the other part, after Sakura smashes her fist into the ground, the scene is changed into a new stage with water and rocks; in this part of the battle, Kakashi attacks with long-range techniques that the player must avoid.
In the quick-time event portions of boss battles, pressing the buttons quickly enough earns "Stars". Earning 80% of the stars by the end a battle activates "Secret Factors" which drive away from the main story to show what a character is thinking or flashbacks to Part I of the series; the Secret Factors further flesh out the story that is occurring at the current time.
Players can access multiple online features: quick matches, ranked matches, match customisation, as well as the availability to host matches.
Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 was officially announced on December 21, 2009 by Namco Bandai Games at a Jump Festa event. V Jump magazine revealed the game a few days beforehand. As CyberConnect2's first multi-platform project, they worked closely with Microsoft. On July 16, the demo release date was announced in the official website. It was officially released July 29, 2010 on the Japanese PlayStation Network and Xbox Live (The Latter requires a gold membership). The European release date for the demo is August 25 2010. It contains the Naruto vs. Kakashi boss battle. Its North American release date is October 19, and its European release date is October 15. On September, 27th it was announced that Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is past the development stage and is in publishing as of the finished date.
The story of Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 begins from the very first Naruto: Shippūden episode (even containing the preview of the future Naruto vs. Sasuke clash, although the preview is of Pain destroying Konohagakure) to the end of Pain's Assault, a content of 3 years of anime broadcasting. The game features a deep three-part story from the point of view of Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha and Jiraiya.
In Free Roam mode you can go through the Konohagakure, forests, deserts, and Sunagakure. The game lets you play through the "Rescue Gaara Arc" as Naruto, "The Hunt for Itachi Arc" (as Sasuke Uchiha), "The Amegakure Infiltration Arc" (as Jiraiya) and "The Pain Invasion Arc" (as Naruto). In addition, there are certain times where you can control others in the overworld, such as Shikamaru and Asuma. The story mode is no longer played by doing missions, but is now an RPG with no connection to unrelated story parts. You'll be able, as always, to play side-story missions, from the easiest to the harder ones. You'll collect cursed dolls, memories, messenger birds, and items (battle items, collection items). You will also, at some points of the story, be accompanied by team-mates and friends. Scroll collection is here to stay; you will collect different types of scrolls: blue, yellow, green, and red scrolls. Each scroll will have to do with the things you did before collecting them. If you had fought a major battle before, and you go to the same spot, you will find Red Scrolls signifying Major Battles or Blue Scrolls which signify an Important Memory. There are also Memory Crystals that you can use in The Hokage's Mansion, to see memories of before the time skip.
The missions include Correspondence Events, Friendship Events, Tests, and battles. You'll earn money and items that will be needed to unlock and complete other challenges when you successfully complete the mission. The stores that are spread in the World will have different types of products eg. ninja info cards, figures, music, dioramas, movies, additional Ulimate Jutsu, and special items that help you continue the story. You will find missions by talking with people in bars, talking with Tsunade, with your friends and by people in the street.
The trophy system is very linked with the storyline and the Free Roam Mode, such as getting a gold result (S-rank) when you win a boss battle, getting a lot of money and collecting special items that are important for missions.
Thanks to a new technology developed by Studio Hero outside Japan, the scenery in the Free Roam is the same as the anime, it's basically putting the computerised character in the landscape. It will incorporate all the known Konoha spots such as Yamanaka's Flower Shop, the Hokage office (the room and the rooftop) Ramen Ichiraku and some bars, such as the dumpling bar and some leisure bars.

Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 has had generally positive reviews. On the review aggregator Game Rankings, the Xbox 360-version of the game has an average score of 76%, based on 25 reviews. On Metacritic, the Xbox 360-version has an average of 74 out of 100 based on 31 reviews. It was slightly better-received on the PlayStation 3, with Game Rankings and Metacritic giving it a 77% and a 75 out of 100, respectively.
Namco Bandai hoped Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 would have sold 700,000 units by November 2010.[1] The game shipped a 1 million copies worldwide; 500,000 in Europe, 340,000 in North America and 160,000 in Japan by November 25, 2010.[2]
- Naruto in his Hokage attire is playable. In the Hokage costume, Naruto is still able to throw the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, even though he is not in Sage Mode.
- Though pre-timeskip Naruto is not playable in the VS. and Online modes, he is playable briefly in the boss fight against Sasuke in a flashback in his one-tailed form. At this moment you play against pre-timeskip Sasuke in his cursed seal level 2 mode.
- Previous game-only characters, created specifically for the Ultimate Ninja series, are all mentioned by Naruto at some point in the game. In Ultimate Adventure Mode, after purchasing and reading books that hint at previous adventures from the previous games, Naruto will receive letters from each of these characters. These characters include Aoi, Tsukino and Kasumi.
- There is also a glitch that allows the player to go out of bounds. When a player is controlling Pain, (most effective on the Training Field stage), executes the chameleon summoning combo where only the chameleon's tail hits the opponent, the other player is knocked out of the boundaries of the stage. They are still bound to the area due to restraints keeping the other character from getting to far away, but this can be countered by using a technique that causes Pain to use Substitution to teleport behind the other player.
- The Yamanaka Flowers shop is not open until the start of the final chapter.
- When Sasuke (Hebi) reverts from his awakening, his kimono remains undone for the remainder of the match.
- There is a glitch that allows the player to have both forms of Naruto as support characters during an online team match. The player must first select one of the forms, have the cursor set on the other, and wait for the time limit to run out. They will then have both Sage Mode/Hokage costume Naruto and regular Naruto as supports.
- One of the many issues in the game is that Kakashi's Mangekyō Sharingan is facing the wrong direction.
- In Tekken 6, Lars Alexandersson's third costume is the same one he wears in Storm 2. This costume was designed by Naruto's author, Masashi Kishimoto. Therefore, it is most likely that Namco allowed Lars to be a guest character in the game for that reason.
- Lars is the only character in the game to not have an English audio and only one winning phrase: "We have injured. Send a medic". Even if the player changes the language to English, he still does not speak English.
- There is an extra chapter that is the story of Sasuke fighting Killer B. This story is unlocked by collecting all of the cursed dolls. The only differences are Sasuke doesn't have the rest of Taka (Suigetsu, Karin, and Jūgo) with him and they fight at the Forest of Quiet Movement (Evening) instead of the real location of Storm Cloud Ravine.
- In Sunagakure, there is a shop called Karakuri Item Shop, most likely being named after Masashi Kishimoto's first manga series, Karakuri.
- In the game's story mode, the Eight Man Squad is not present while aiding in the search for Sasuke or Itachi.
- In the game's story mode, Deidara sacrifices himself just by gathering up chakra in his body, rather than use C0.

A Lansing military contractor said he had for years thought about making the leap from school parent to school board.
A Lansing military contractor said he had for years thought about making the leap from school parent to school board.
But the timing didn't seem quite right for Garrett Martin to make a run for the Lansing School Board until now, with the coursework portion of his doctoral work in education done.
Martin said he has a daughter currently enrolled at Lansing Middle School and two other children at Lansing Elementary School. Serving on the middle school site council has given him an inside look at the Lansing district. With the construction of a new high school facility and a renovation of the current high school for a new life as a middle school underway, however, Martin also said he decided now was the time to try to have a more hands-on influence on the district moving forward.
"As a former information technology guy, I've kind of seen some of the IT issues that the school district has," he said. "I wanted to have an ability to influence where that money was going to be spent and make try to make sure it was spent in the right place at the right time."
Martin said he has worked on an IT staff for schools before, in the Manhattan, Kan., public school district. It gave him good experience in working with school officials in addition to a look at the challenges facing schools as it relates to technology.
Martin said he also sees value in integrating technology into the classroom, especially because those sorts of skills will be likely become more and more valuable to the district's students in the coming years.
"I'd certainly like to see certified computer teachers in the elementary schools," he said, to teach skills like formating and writing letters that they'll need in adulthood.
Martin also suggested that the district look into mentoring programs to give students an inside look at some of the careers they are interested in pursuing.
But no technology can replace the work of teachers, and Martin said he felt it was important for the district to take steps to retain its quality faculty.
"You got somebody who wants to do something, you're going to see an improvement in their job performance," he said.
Martin admitted that new initiatives are tough to see through during a time when the state government is cutting education funding. But he said it's up to the school board to lead the way, finding ways to create the opportunities they want to see for students. Martin said he would be interested in either hiring a grant writer for the district or ask for volunteer help from the district community in pursuing some grant funding sources.
"I think there's always an opportunity somewhere," he said.
There are other things he said would not cost money. Currently, Martin said the parent teacher organizations in the Lansing district are robust, which could help in some of those goals. But Martin said if elected he would try to bring more parents into the mix, and in new ways, like a welcome committee for incoming parents to mirror that for students.
Asked about his own attributes, Martin said he feels his management skills, experience and education allow him to be able to keep the role of the school board member in perspective in planning for the long-range and serving the constituents.
"Those are the things, I think, that make me a good candidate," he said.

Oracle To Buy Network Gear Maker Acme Packet For About $2 Billion
Oracle Corp agreed to buy Acme Packet Inc, which makes network equipment to speed up voice, video and data delivery across networks, for about $2 billion.
The $29.25 per share offer represents a 22 percent premium to Acme Packet's Friday close on the Nasdaq. The deal value is based on the number of outstanding shares as of Dec 31.
Oracle shares were down 1.7 percent at $35.60 before the bell. Acme shares were trading at $29.22.
"Users are increasingly connected and expect to communicate anytime and anywhere using their application, device, and network of choice. Oracle Communications along with Acme Packet can help service providers and enterprises meet these demanding requirements," Oracle said in a statement.
The deal is worth about $1.7 billion, net of cash, the companies said on Monday.
Oracle Chief Executive Larry Ellison, who has boosted Oracle's revenue dramatically over the past decade helped by a series of acquisitions, said in October he would not rule out a big deal "down the road".
The company's last acquisition was cloud computing firm Eloqua Inc, which it bought for $810 million in December.
Acme also reported fourth-quarter earnings of 9 cents per share, excluding items, on revenue of $70.7 million.
Analysts expected an adjusted profit of 8 cents per share and revenue of $68.9 million, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Acme has been hit by weak telecom spending in the last few quarters as carriers spend less on new projects and delay existing ones. Its shares have fallen 18 percent in the last year.

We have another New Year looming, and along with the end of another year, and our resolutions to do better, come annual compensation changes: usually a bonus, accompanied soon after with an annual review and a pay raise.
While these events should be cause for celebration and happiness with their increased fortunes, there are always some employees who view their bonus and/or pay increase with disappointment: they feel that they should have gotten more. And whether they should have or not, sadly, more than a few employees let their disappointment ruin their relationship with their boss–and their future with their firm.
If you find yourself unhappy with your bonus or your raise, I encourage you to take the following steps, to turn things around rather than make them worse. First, take a deep breath and honestly consider whether you're truly unhappy with your compensation level, or if the source of your dissatisfaction isn't some other aspect of your job.
In my experience, happy employees almost never ask for more money: they like their jobs, which shows in their performance, for which they are rewarded. So, if you're unhappy about your comp, chances are there's something else you're really upset about, and simply getting paid more won't make that problem go away. If this is the case, you need to identify the source of your unhappiness, and take that up with your boss. Leave money off the table until that problem is solved, and nine times out of 10, your money issues will be too.
Second, determine whether you really deserve a raise or if you simply want one. In some cases, an employee will be happy with their job, but their personal circumstances have changed–a new baby, a bigger house, caring for elderly parents–which in turn, causes them to want/need more money. There's nothing wrong with this: it's how life works sometimes. The mistake that some employees make is believing that their new needs are somehow their boss' problem. They aren't; they are yours. And consequently, you need to solve them.
Copping a bad attitude, letting your performance suffer, and grousing about how you're worth more isn't going to help: it's only going to alienate your boss and your co-workers. Instead, adjust your attitude by focusing on whether you really are underpaid or are actually receiving fair, competitive comp. Chances are it's the latter, so rather than deluding yourself into feeling you deserve more for the same job, start thinking about what you can do to make yourself more valuable to your firm.
To start with, change your pattern. Start doing an even better job than you have been: come in earlier, do more, help your co-workers with their jobs, take more initiative, extra projects, etc. In short, do whatever you can to demonstrate you deserve more money. More often than not, just a simple increase in productivity will get the attention of your boss and other employees, resulting in higher comp.
If working harder doesn't solve your new financial needs, the next step is to talk with your boss about what you can do to help your firm more. I've never seen an owner/advisor yet who didn't respond to an employee who asked: "How can I help you more, so that I can earn more?" Think about it as you would a client relationship. Advisors who simply raise their fees to make more money usually lose clients. But if they increase their services, clients are usually happy to pay more. If you take this "increased service" approach with your boss, you'll almost always get what you want.
Finally, a note to all employees: no matter how much your bonus and/or raise is, or whether you think it's generous or not enough, don't forget to thank your boss. People like their good intentions to be recognized, and whether you realize it or not, bosses are people, too.
Did you ever have a spouse or significant other who always complained about the gifts they received? Did that make you more or less likely to give them gifts in the future? Whether you like what you got or not, your boss make the effort to give it to you: and rarely gets anything in return. When you thank them, and tell them how much you appreciate it, you're reinforcing their behavior, and increasing their incentive to give more to their employees in the future.
Good luck getting more next year, and enjoy the holidays!

Merkel fails to help friend on TV quiz show
BERLIN (AP) — A German politician hoping for help from Angela Merkel during a television quiz show was left disappointed when the chancellor failed to take his call.
Conservative lawmaker Wolfgang Bosbach used his phone-a-friend lifeline to ring his party's leader during a VIP version of the show 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.'
But Bosbach's call for help in answering a question about East German washing machines failed after he twice got Merkel's voicemail.
Toward the end of the show broadcast Monday, Bosbach received a text message from Merkel apologizing for not answering.
German news agency dpa quoted Bosbach as saying he wasn't sure it would have been good to have had the chancellor pick up, as she might have chastised him for calling her about a quiz show question.

Actuate has announced that its ActuateOne is now certified on CDH4 (Cloudera's Distribution including Apache Hadoop Version 4). ActuateOne is a BI platform and suite of applications based on BIRT designed to enable developers to create and customize analysis and visualizations of traditional and big data.
NOTE: Actuate founded and co-leads the BIRT (Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools) open source project. It is an Eclipse-based reporting system that integrates with Java/Java EE applications to provide reporting features such as report layout, data access, and scripting.
The firm says that ActuateOne's approach to connect and merge an array of big data sources when combined with Hadoop's data scalability should enable the construction of applications that facilitate more collaborative decision making.
Looking at the technology offerred here, CDH is a 100-percent open source distribution that combines Apache Hadoop with other open source applications within the Hadoop stack. It is in fact the world's most widely deployed distribution of Apache Hadoop in commercial and non-commercial environments.
"We are pleased that, as a Cloudera Certified Technology, Actuate can provide support to the two million BIRT developers worldwide who use ActuateOne and CDH4 to develop analysis and visualization applications," said Actuate's Nobby Akiha.

Another advantage of Cindicator (and CND) is that it process way more transactions per second compared to Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash.
At the same time, Bitcoin Cash has one of the most active communities, including developers who build dApps on this blockchain. BCH coin is used in both ways: as a means of payment and as a collateral. It's market capitalization is slightly over impressive.

When you go from six active cases of underage labor to 74 in one year, you know something's wrong. That's what Apple discovered after conducting its 2011 audits as part of its annual Supplier Responsibility Report, which was released late Thursday. In the report, Apple once again detailed its audit process and spelled out its findings, conducting a new high of 339 audits across its manufacturing partners. But the huge jump in underage labor wasn't across the board—it was concentrated in a single circuit board manufacturer, which Apple says was willfully conspiring with families to forge age-verification documents.
According to Apple's new report, the company didn't find any cases of underage workers at its final assembly suppliers in 2012, but it plans to continue going deeper into the supply chain to ferret out violators. These suppliers have apparently told Apple that it's the only company performing such audits.
That much is clear when you get to the part of the report where Apple slams Guangdong Real Faith Pingzhou Electronics Co. (also known as "PZ"). The company produces circuit board components "used by many other companies in many industries" and was found to have 74 cases of underage workers as of January 2012. Apple discovered that PZ was working with one of the area's largest labor agencies to actively recruit and work with underage workers to fake the appropriate documents to make them appear older than they actually were.
As a result, Apple terminated its relationship with PZ and reported the labor agency (Shemzen Quanshun Human Resources) to the provincial governments of Shenzen and Henan. "The agency had its business license suspended and was fined. The children were returned to their families, and PZ was required to pay expenses to facilitate their successful return," wrote Apple. "In addition, the company that subcontracted its work to PZ was prompted by our findings to audit its other subcontractors for underage labor violations—proving that one discovery can have far-reaching impact."
Last year, Apple reported that it found only six active and 13 historical cases of underage labor among its suppliers in 2011—down from 91 total cases found in 2010. Because of these discoveries in recent years, Apple has ramped up its education efforts, helping suppliers identify fake IDs and giving suppliers the names of labor agents that "have been associated with the recruitment of underage workers."
When new violations are found, Apple requires its suppliers to return the workers back to a school chosen by the family and finance their education. "In addition, the children must continue to receive income matching what they received when they were employed. We also follow up regularly to ensure that the children remain in school and that the suppliers continue to uphold their financial commitment," wrote Apple in its latest report.
Apple has come under fire in recent years for its suppliers' labor and safety practices after the publication of a 2006 report highlighting poor conditions, followed by another in the New York Times in early 2012. The latter prompted Apple to become the first technology company to join the Fair Labor Association (FLA) in order to check its own reports against independent audits. The FLA's audits began in February of 2012, followed a month later by a report that revealed more than 50 violations of FLA standards and Chinese law, largely related to the way overtime was handled among employees. But as of August, the FLA reported back to say that Apple and Foxconn (in particular) were indeed improving factory conditions and were actually ahead of schedule in implementing the recommendations from the FLA.
"Our verification shows that the necessary changes, including immediate health and safety measures, have been made," FLA CEO Auret van Heerden said in August. "We are satisfied that Apple has done its due diligence thus far to hold Foxconn accountable for complying with the action plan, including the commitment to reform its internship program."
In addition to the underage labor violations at PZ, Apple's report highlighted its efforts to source conflict-free materials for its products, improve worker safety, and increase training to identify safety hazards. Apple also says it interviewed and surveyed 70,000 workers across its four final assembly facilities in order to see what the workers wanted improved the most—the results showed "opportunities for improvement" in social support, quality of sleep and dining, work-supervisor relationships, and counseling services.
"As a result of our worker surveys at all of the facilities in this pilot, suppliers have taken specific actions, such as changing food vendors, tracking cafeteria food purchases to provide feedback to food vendors, evaluating the impact of room-darkening window shades in dormitories, assigning workers to dormitory rooms based on shift times, and changing security providers for increased coverage," wrote Apple.
