Big offensive effort not enough to lift McGowan
Lawrie, Goins and Reyes launch homers, but pitching staff falters
TORONTO -- The biggest question surrounding Dustin McGowan's transition to the starting rotation was whether he would be able to pitch deep into games, and so far the results haven't been what the Blue Jays were hoping for.
A trend has emerged during the first month of the season that has seen McGowan struggle toward the middle of almost every start. Perhaps it shouldn't come as a surprise considering McGowan hasn't been a full-time starter since 2008 and didn't have a full Spring Training, but the overall upside has yet to surface.
The problems continued on Wednesday night as McGowan was staked to an early five-run lead, but once again appeared to hit a wall around the fifth inning. The end result was a 10-8 loss to the Orioles in front of 15,202 fans at Rogers Centre.
"Maybe a little bit," McGowan admitted when asked after the game whether fatigue was playing a role in his starts. "I do seem to at 60 pitches, I kind of seem to be falling backwards a little bit, I guess you could say. But I feel good, my arm feels great, it's just sometimes it seems like the ball is not coming out quite right after 60-65 pitches."
McGowan was always facing an uphill battle in his quest for a permanent job in the starting rotation. He made a handful of starts at the end of 2011, but hasn't been a regular contributor in that role since 2008 because of several major surgeries on his right shoulder.
The 32-year-old returned from injury last season to settle into a bullpen role. He spent the offseason talking about his desire to start, and while the Blue Jays claimed all along McGowan was going to get a chance, he entered camp this spring as an extreme long shot. It wasn't until J.A. Happ, Esmil Rogers, Marcus Stroman and to a lesser extent Todd Redmond struggled during Spring Training that McGowan officially entered the mix.
The problem is that McGowan also didn't begin getting stretched out as a starter until mid-March. An illness cost him some time before that and a push from the organization didn't come until after the club came up short in its pursuit of free agent Ervin Santana. That left McGowan with just a few starts to get ready for the regular season and the club knew all along that it was going to have to be patient with McGowan early on.
McGowan is now four starts into his 2014 campaign and has recorded an out in the fifth inning during just one outing. The fact that he is still feeling fatigue around the 60-pitch mark is rather alarming and is something that will need to be fixed almost immediately if McGowan wants to remain a starter. Otherwise it's likely the Blue Jays will revisit the possibility of going with Happ, Rogers, Redmond or Stroman.
"The body just feels like it runs out of steam a little bit," McGowan conceded. "I shouldn't be feeling that, I should be at the point where I can go 90-100, especially the way my arm feels. It feels great."
McGowan received some early breathing room on Wednesday night when Toronto posted six runs in the second inning vs. right-hander Chris Tillman. Brett Lawrie had a three-run homer, while Jose Reyes added a two-run shot of his own as the Blue Jays sent 11 batters to the plate.
The quick start looked like it would allow Toronto to cruise the rest of the way, but little by little the Orioles began chipping away at McGowan. There were two runs in the third inning on a home run by Nelson Cruz and an RBI single by Nick Markakis before the outing really unraveled in the fifth.
Despite facing the bottom of Baltimore's order, McGowan loaded the bases with nobody out and forced manager John Gibbons to make a move for the bullpen. Right-hander Todd Redmond entered and promptly surrendered a grand slam to Cruz. Before the inning came to an end, Redmond also allowed an RBI double to Matt Wieters and a sacrifice fly to J.J. Hardy as the Orioles took a 9-6 lead.
McGowan has allowed 13 runs in 17 innings (6.88 ERA) this season and appears to be having an increasing amount of difficulty keeping the ball down in the zone as his outings progress.
"I think the quality is still there, it just goes down to execution," Blue Jays catcher Dioner Navarro said. "Obviously, that's not the way he wanted to pitch, but it's going to be up to whoever to figure out. I think he was throwing the ball well, he was in the strike zone and then all of a sudden we kind of went away from the game plan and it hurt us big."
Even after all of that, the Blue Jays did have a chance to get back into the game. Second baseman Ryan Goins chipped away at the Orioles' lead with a solo home run in the sixth and a pinch-hit RBI single by Josh Thole in the seventh got Toronto within two. Reyes had a chance to cut the lead even further, but he struck out with a pair of runners on.
The final push came in the ninth when Toronto loaded the bases with one out vs Orioles closer Tommy Hunter. Infielder Jonathan Diaz came to the plate with the tying run on second base but grounded into a double play to end the game. It was a bitter end to a bitter defeat.
"It's very rare you get 16 hits no errors and you don't win the game, put it that way," Gibbons said.

Kim Dotcom Files Brief In His Trial In The Court Of Public Opinion
from the laying-out-the-arguments deptA bunch of folks have been pointing us to the new "whitepaper" released by Kim Dotcom, which lays out two key things: why the lawsuit against him is a complete legal sham and also why it was driven by a corrupt connection between the US government and the MPAA. The paper is written by his lawyers, including Ira Rothken and Richard Amsterdam (whose addition to his legal team was discussed a few months ago). Frankly, most of this reads like the lawyers refining the eventual motion-to-dismiss filing that they expect to submit to the federal court (should it ever get there). The majority of it is taken up with the clear legal statements as to why the lawsuit is based on very questionable theories. The main point, as we've discussed before in the context of other cases, is that the DOJ seems to have completely made up a legal theory of contributory copyright inducement. While there is such a thing in civil contexts, it's not there in criminal contexts. Supporters of the DOJ will argue that there is aiding and abetting, but the rules there are quite different and, again, it doesn't look like Dotcom and crew would be guilty of such a charge.
The overall point is clearly stated in the whitepaper. Here's a snippet:
The fact of the matter is that the notion of criminal liability for secondary copyright infringement does not exist in U.S. law. The attempt by prosecutors to expand criminal liability for secondary infringement by couching it as "aiding and abetting" or "conspiracy" goes against established precedent in case law and repeated positions taken by the U.S. Congress.One surprising inclusion is that the whitepaper supports this well known point -- that courts can't create new criminal liability -- by extensively quoting legal analysis from Jay Prabhu from years ago. This is a bit of dagger twisting by Dotcom's legal team. Prabhu, well after writing those analysis, took a job in the Justice Department, and eventually was put in charge of the DOJ's "cybercrime" unit -- and has been a key prosecutor against a number of copyright cases, including various domain seizures. In fact, he's the one who signed the indictment against Dotcom. To use his own words against the case is amusing.
The Copyright Act creates civil and criminal liability for various acts of copyright infringement, but it does not expressly give rise to liability for infringement committed by third parties. Furthermore, the U.S. Supreme Court has defined specific circumstances under which service providers may be held civilly liable (i.e., not criminally responsible) for direct copyright infringement by third parties, such as distributing "a device with the object of promoting its use to infringe copyright."
The fundamental legal problem with this aspect of the government's case is that only Congress can create new criminal liability; judges cannot. Previous instances in which courts have imposed civil liability for secondary copyright infringement – based on application of common law principles – do not apply in criminal proceedings, as federal crimes are "solely creatures of statute." Whatever authority the courts may have had to recognize a contributory theory of copyright liability in the civil context, the courts simply have no power to impose a basis for criminal liability beyond what is expressly authorized by statute.
The filing also lays out a number of arguments that we've seen before, including a further explanation of how the DOJ was being totally disingenuous in arguing that Megaupload refused to remove works it knew were infringing, by pointing out the files they mentioned were ones that Megaupload has clearly been asked to preserve as part of an investigation into copyright infringement.
There's also an interesting and more detailed than previous discussed defense on the point about Megaupload's rewards program. We had pointed out how silly it was to use this element against Megaupload, since it was a general rewards program to get people to make use of its cloud storage, and there was nothing in the program that induced more infringement (in fact, it seemed like a great tool for a content creator to make money by releasing his or her own works via the rewards program). On this, Dotcom's whitepaper points out not just those points, but also (1) the fact that lots of other sites have similar rewards programs (2) specific features Megaupload included in its rewards program that made it bad for infringement (including file size limits and required identification) and (3) the fact that they had dropped the program long before the indictment.
While I do wonder how wise it is to basically give the DOJ their opening brief way before they would actually see it in court -- and giving them a lot more time to respond to it -- there are a few reasons why this move could make sense. First, they're so damn confident in their argument that it doesn't really matter. That may be risky. Another point may be that it signals to the DOJ that they may want to look for ways to extricate itself from the case quickly, because it's not going to go as easy as the DOJ has assumed from the beginning. The other issue may be that Dotcom and his legal team realized long ago that the court of public opinion probably matters more in the long run than the federal court system in the US.
To that end, of course, the paper has a second section, which has received most of the attention: all about the supposed corrupt process that brought about the indictment. When Megaupload hired Richard Amsterdam, he specifically noted that the details of the case suggested a typical "contract prosecution," and the paper seeks to lay out that argument clearly, highlighting the close relationship between the Obama Administration (mainly via VP Joe Biden) and MPAA boss Chris Dodd.
Chris Dodd's jump from the U.S. Senate into the cockpit of the MPAA was an equivalent move. As the new Chairman and CEO of the MPAA, Chris Dodd improperly leveraged his friendship with Joe Biden to achieve the MPAA's objectives. Former Senator Dodd's relationship with the Vice President– who comes off manipulated, a cheerfully credulous facilitator – together with the Obama Administration's ravenous hunger for campaign contributions, has given the MPAA absolute control over how the U.S. Department of Justice plays the game in enforcing copyright law. This capture is nowhere more clearly demonstrated than in the Megaupload/Kim Dotcom prosecution.Frankly, while this section is getting the most attention, I actually find it to be the weakest and most poorly supported part of the paper, which would probably be more compelling without it. I don't doubt that the close connections between the MPAA and various folks in the DOJ and in the VP's office contributed to Megaupload being a target, but trying to make it out as anything more than that seems like a stretch. Yes, the MPAA complained regularly about Megaupload, and that clearly helped put a target on its back. But, it's quite likely that the over-eager folks at the DOJ ran with this one on their own. The MPAA (with the help of the press) had worked over time to paint Kim Dotcom as "Dr. Evil" of the copyright world. Everything about the process of taking down Megaupload screams of a bunch of feds who totally bought into the theatrical version of the MPAA's vision, without much effort to understand what was really happening. The myriad mistakes and sloppiness in the case really suggest that the DOJ assumed that the stories the MPAA told were so accurate that everything about this case would be a layup. The investigation, the indictment, the raid, the handling of evidence -- all of it was done in a sloppy way -- as if they expected no one would challenge any of it.
I'm sure there was influence and pressure that went into this, but painting it as a case where Chris Dodd called up Joe Biden and said, "Destroy Megaupload" is probably a massive exaggeration. Instead, it seems quite likely that MPAA folks just kept playing up the theatrical version of Kim Dotcom as evil (and, Dotcom himself actually helped promote this sort of view of himself at times as well...), and then the DOJ's imagination combined with its general over-aggressive nature towards any copyright issues just sort of took over from there.
Either way, the paper is definitely a worthwhile read. I'm sure a group of folks at the DOJ are taking their time reading through it quite carefully. I imagine that we'll eventually see their response in court.

Every day, around 11 in the morning, a postman comes to deliver letters to our doors. He slides in a bunch of letters through a slit in the door, and the entire act, which takes about five seconds, is a noisy affair – he always manages to bang the outer door against the wooden door, and pushes the letters in through the slit, which carelessly fall all over the carpet, creating arbitrary paper patterns. Mostly, these are letters from banks, insurance companies, housing offices and the university office. Sometimes, these letters are addressed to other students who have lived here in the past, and have not informed them of their change in address.
Yesterday, the postman came and repeated the same rituals. I carelessly collected the letters from the floor, and was sorting them out, when I noticed a bunch of letters, with the Pearson logo, addressed to my roommate. Just as a brief introduction, my roommate is in the teacher-training program at Stanford. Just a bunch of plain white envelopes with a very familiar blue logo set me off on a time travel!
It's been almost four months since I have become an ex-employee of Pearson Education. Like any other firsts in life, this having been my first job has been very special to me. As Nagma (my roommate) was tearing open her letters, I stood there with a smug smile, almost giving her the impression like I own the company! She doesn't really figure out why I have that stupid grin and a proud expression lurking on my face! I don't either!
A few days ago, work-day thoughts came floating by. I logged in to www.pearsoned.co.in, and checked out all the books I have worked on, how they're doing, what they look like now (from an ex-employee's point of view), and what kind of memories I have associated with each of them. I write to my ex-boss trying to find out the status of a rather long-drawn project. He writes back giving me details of author feedback. I share one of the links (with the cover and the book details of my last project) with my ex-copyeditor, who had copyedited the book.
I'm a part of a campus group that meditates and chants Buddhist prayers every Wednesday morning. Today, when we were chanting prayers at a student's apartment, I kept getting distracted by the bookshelf that was right in front of me – lines of engineering books, untidily arranged on the shelf, with the familiar blue logo! The moment we finished chanting, I blurted out, pointing at the blue logo peering from the weary bookshelf, 'That is my ex-company!' EunYi, a friend who chants with us, exclaimed, 'You owned a company!' I corrected myself, 'Sorry, I meant to say, I worked for that company before I came here!' She looked at me rather surprised at the pride I exhibited!
I came back home, missing the office and all the friends I had made there. Images of my desk in the new office facing the giant window, of getting coffee from the Bunker, turning back and sharing inane jokes with Y, trying hard to stifle the laughter gurgling up my throat clogged my brain. I looked up the blog Web site, and found a post from the CEO (soon to become the ex-CEO, as I hear), announcing a prize for blog posts. I read Soumitri's beautiful post about airports in the country. I closed the window, scolded myself for not studying for my exams (which are just round the corner) and engaging in a nostalgic romanticization of an ex-worklife. I diligently went back to the life I am committed to now.
Just now, between study breaks, after making dinner and before dish washes, I clicked the refresh button unmindfully. I laughed out loud reading about the prize withdrawal and imagining Vivek's hungover state! And even though I realize that Pearson has been shifted to the line of things I have left behind, I knew I had to write something on the blog, even if it meant attaching the tiny little 'ex' with almost every second word in a sentence!

From September 23 through October 31, the Graduate Center will present ITINERARIES, a survey of work from 1979–2009 by Alan Turner, in its Exhibition Hallway. The show, viewable during building hours, features Turner's evocative drawings and paintings exploring abandoned locations -- ruins of antiquity, inventive shelters of the homeless, playgrounds of children -- with side trips in the natural world. The Graduate Center is located at 365 Fifth Avenue (between 34th & 35th Streets) in Manhattan; for further information on ITINERARIES, please call 212-431-5149.
Turner paints quirky images that mark an uncomfortable relationship between the body, containers and consciousness. During the last few years, he has made paintings (Box Houses) based on models he has built from corrugated cardboard. These metaphorically rich works grow out of observations of the structures the homeless build for shelter. Recently, Turner's trips to Rome have further shaped his artistic vision. An acute draftsman, he has become increasingly austere in his painting technique. A "just enough" approach dispenses with paint completely and the newest "paintings" are simply graphite on canvas. Control of line, and the changing nature of mark making, creates a deep conversation between ideas of home and intimacy. The exhibition is accompanied by a free, illustrated brochure with an essay by Jose Ruiz. (Pictured: Box House #50 by Alan Turner.)
Alan Turner has been exhibiting his paintings, drawings and prints in solo and group exhibitions throughout the U.S. and Europe since 1971. He was born in the Bronx in 1943 and attended the City College of the City University of New York, receiving a B.A. in 1965. He continued his studies at the University of California, Berkeley, receiving an M.A. in 1967. During his career, his works have entered many prominent public and private collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, among many others. He is the recipient of many honors and awards including three NEA Grants, a Pollack-Krasner Fellowship Foundation Grant and a John Simon Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship. A complete archive and resume are available at www.alanturnerstudio.com.
The Graduate Center is devoted primarily to doctoral studies and awards most of the City University of New York's Ph.D.s. An internationally recognized center for advanced studies and a national model for public doctoral education, the school offers more than thirty doctoral programs as well as a number of master's programs. Many of its faculty members are among the world's leading scholars in their respective fields, and its alumni hold major positions in industry and government, as well as in academia. The Graduate Center is also home to more than thirty interdisciplinary research centers and institutes focused on areas of compelling social, civic, cultural, and scientific concerns. Located in a landmark Fifth Avenue building, the Graduate Center has become a vital part of New York City's intellectual and cultural life with its extensive array of public lectures, exhibitions, concerts, and theatrical events. Further information on the Graduate Center and its programs can be found at www.gc.cuny.edu.

Players working their way through Storm Peaks will eventually come across the Sons of Hodir faction. Quickly they'll realize that the rep grind is a big pain in the derriere. For those of us that aren't into Inscription, we need them because they offer us shoulder enchants.
And we're all players that want to be the best at what we do so we go out there and farm our butts off.
Along the way, you might hear of these objects known as Everfrost. Every turn in nets you 350 rep.
Here's a few locations with coordinates and visual references. I'll continue to add more as I see them. If you happen to see one not on the last, please screenshot and email it to me! Use the contact form to get in touch with me first.
Further more, you may wish to check out this awesome WoWHead map with Everfrost Chip locations pinned on it.
Updates 2
3 more locations (courtesy of Karthis again!)
Coordinates: 53.1, 64.6
Notes: Above ground level. Fly up.
Coordinates: 59.9, 63.9
Notes: Also above ground level (really high, if you compare it with ground level).
Coordinates: 72.2, 47.9
Notes: Out to the east by them Forefathers.
Added 2 more locations (Thanks Karthis)
Coordinates: 58.2, 64.6
Notes: Fly up. It's not at ground level.
Coordinates: 73.1, 65.4
Notes: As you approach this Everfrost from the east, you might see this chip disappear from your eyes. Don't worry, it didn't actually go away. What happened is that you entered a phased part of the map which the chip isn't a part of. What you have to do here is approach the chip from the southwest (like pictured above). This will let you see it and loot it. If you approach from the north, you won't be able to see it at all.
Coordinates: 75.2, 48.4
Notes: You can find this at the back of the area where you kill the Forefathers. It's right on the ledge. Most players tend to miss this one.
Coordinates: 69.3, 53.4
Notes: Just west of the area where you fight the Forefathers.
Coordinates: 65.4, 61.0

Chapter 588
- "The Burden of Being a Kage" (影を背負う, Kage o Seou)
As Kabuto remains incapacitated by Izanami, Sasuke questions whether undoing the Impure World Reincarnation would not mean Itachi would disappear as well. Declaring that he no longer had any attachment to the world of the living, Itachi notes that he was proud to be able to protect Konohagakure once more. Enraged to hear Itachi's motives, Sasuke states that while he could forgive his brother, he could never forgive the village for what they had done. This leads Itachi to tell his little brother that he won't be the one to change him and that he was doing this to aid Naruto Uzumaki — whom he had entrusted that task to. Itachi then proceeds to raise the brille over Kabuto's eyes and uses genjutsu to order Kabuto to teach him the hand seals needed to stop the Impure World Reincarnation. Meanwhile, the five Kage struggle to hold their own against Madara's twenty-five Susanoo-clad wood clones. Amidst all the struggles, Ōnoki rallies them to fight on having been entrusted with a great task at which they could not fail. Madara notes that he needed to break Ōnoki's will as it was the most troublesome of all. Rallying to each other's side, Tsunade transfers chakra to Ōnoki who uses a large-scale Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique which succeeds in obliterating the twenty-five clones and part of the real Madara, in one fell swoop. Splitting the cube down the middle, Mei unleashes a Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique which A charges with lightning. This makes contact with Madara effectively slowing down his response time. As Madara prepares to counter, it is revealed that sand was also concealed in the dragon which Gaara uses to bind Madara's movements further in order to create an opening for Ōnoki to use another Dust Release thus giving time to seal him during the regeneration process. After they declared that this was the power of the five Kage, Madara compliments them stating that he would respond with his full power as well. He then unleashes the complete version of his Susanoo stating that it would help them realise just how futile their efforts have been, regardless of being Kage.
Chapter 589
- "Impure World Reincarnation Technique: Release" (穢土転生の術・解, Edo Tensei no Jutsu: Kai)
The five Kage look on in shock as Madara unleashes his Susanoo. After stabilising the construct, Tsunade questions whether her grandfather really fought against someone who was so much stronger than five Kage put together. Madara responds by saying that Hashirama was the only one who could defeat him and then states that it was a good thing that he wasn't here as the extent of damage to the surrounding landscape would be on a much smaller scale as he sends the Kage flying with one swing from his sword — destroying the mountain range behind him in the process. Realising his full power, Ōnoki questions whether or not Madara had gone easy on him and Mū in the past, to which Madara states that why an adult should fight seriously against children. As the Kage stand to face Madara nonetheless, Ōnoki then states that they would not back down now, causing Madara to resolve himself to crushing their beliefs. Elsewhere, Itachi then commands Kabuto to use the hand seals he had just stated to end the Impure World Reincarnation. Sasuke uses this time to state his resolve to Itachi and that he will destroy the village because of what it did to him before bidding farewell to Itachi. As the technique is released, the reincarnated shinobi from all-over the battlefield begin to deconstruct. Upon seeing this, a battered Naruto and B thanks Itachi and uses it as motivation to wrap things up with Tobi as well. Before being completely decommissioned, Itachi heads towards his little brother with his hand outstretched, stating that he could still make it.
Chapter 590
- "I Will Love You Forever" (お前をずっと愛している, Omae o Zutto Aishiteiru)
With the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation finally released, all the reincarnated shinobi began to fade into pillars of light. As the battle between Tobi and Naruto ensues, Naruto charges at him, stating that his opponents were in front of him as Tobi contemplates the fact that Kabuto had seemingly been defeated. Meanwhile, the five Kage struggle to combat Madara, as he is about to deal another blow with his sword, Madara's Susanoo suddenly dissipates and he is enveloped in a beam of light, causing him to wonder what happened to the summoner. Back at the cave, Itachi uses the last of his consciousness to show Sasuke his memories of the Uchiha Clan Downfall, showing him how he came into possession of Shisui Uchiha's Sharingan, Konoha leadership's decision to move against the Uchiha clan's coup d'etat, his meeting with Tobi and ending with Fugaku and Mikoto's last words to Itachi. With the entire truth about the massacre revealed, Itachi told Sasuke that even if he never forgave him, and no matter what he decided to do from that point on, he would love him forever.
Chapter 591
- "Risk" (リスク, Risuku)
After imparting his final words to Sasuke, Itachi's soul is released from the Impure World Reincarnation. On different battlefields, all the other reincarnated shinobi's souls are being released, as the five Kage realise what was happening, they wonder who had released the technique with Ōnoki noting that whomever it was, was a hero to the shinobi world. Regaining dominion over his movements, Dan asks Chōza to have them remove the barrier which sealed him. When the barrier is released, Chōza notes the hand seals Dan used, realises his intentions and tells him to hurry and go to Tsunade. Using his Spirit Transformation Technique to take control of his then-ascending soul, Dan flies to Tsunade's location in time to take over her body and save her from Madara — who though was being released from the Impure World Reincarnation, was still making a desperate attempt to kill the Kage. Speaking with Tsunade in her subconscious, before disappearing Dan tells Tsunade that he would wait for her in the afterlife but not to follow after him just yet and leaves her with the remainder of his chakra, thus restoring her Strength of a Hundred Seal. After returning to the real world, Tsunade and the other Kage watch in some confusion, wondering why Madara hadn't stopped moving as yet. He then explains that if the reincarnated know the seals to end the summoning contract of the Impure World Reincarnation, they could sever ties from the summoner. With this, Madara performs the seals to sever the contract and tells them to tell his summoner that he shouldn't use kinjutsu so arbitrarily.
Chapter 592
- "The Third Power" (第三勢力, Daisan Seiryoku)
Reflecting on Itachi's last words, Sasuke is tormented with questions about important aspects of a shinobi's life; including his clan, his friends and about his own existence. While deep in thought, the ceiling of the cave breaks open, but Sasuke manages to dodge the falling debris and Suigetsu appears, along with Jūgo, stating that they had finally found Sasuke. Meanwhile on the battlefield, the five Kage are still amazed to find Madara still intact even after the Impure World Reincarnation was released. Madara exclaims that after fighting him, they might have realised he was not the type of shinobi to be under someone else's control. He also states that anyone that had seen his perfect form of his Susanoo had to die but laments that it would be a disgrace and defeatist to manifest it once again. Elsewhere, Naruto, Kakashi, Guy, and Killer B are still fighting Tobi and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path with Naruto provoking Tobi to take off his mask despite Kakashi's warnings not to irate the enemy. Seemingly resigned to his actions, Tobi summons the Benihisago and the Kohaku no Jōhei, and while remembering the fragments of the chakra he had collected from the Eight and Nine-Tails laments that he wanted to revive the Ten-Tails in perfect condition but even at a fragments of its power, it was still the same. Back at Kabuto's location, Jūgo realises that Anko Mitarashi is still alive and alerts Sasuke to the fact that Madara was still in the living world, shocking Sasuke. As Sasuke questions them why they were still following him, Suigetsu tells him that they had found something interesting and hands Sasuke the scroll which they found at one of Orochimaru's hideouts. Rendered speechless for a moment by the content, Sasuke says that he is willing to meet with Orochimaru which shocked Suigetsu and Jūgo but Sasuke noted that Orochimaru was not one to die so easily even if he was killed. Standing up, Sasuke states that he was going to meet "the ones who know everything".
Chapter 593
- "Orochimaru's Revival" (復活の大蛇丸, Fukkatsu no Orochimaru)
Despite Suigetsu's vehement and somewhat manic opposition to reviving Orochimaru plying Sasuke with several different reasons not to proceed, Sasuke is resigned to his decision. Moving to execute Sasuke's orders, Jūgo retrieves some of Kabuto's DNA using his Sage Transformation abilities, much to Suigetsu's disgust. After Jūgo places the DNA on Anko's Cursed Seal of Heaven, Sasuke uses the Evil Releasing Method to revive Orochimaru using the remnants of his life force left within Anko. Retreating behind Kabuto as Orochimaru emerges, Suigetsu sheepishly greets his former captor, who notes that he was abreast of the situation having been able to observe everything from within Anko, further shocking them when he tells them he has no interest in the war that was currently going on. And instead, still had his sights set on Sasuke's body, but was unable to steal it in his current state. Showing him the scroll he was given, Sasuke tells Orochimaru that he wanted to hear everything from its source, leading Orochimaru to question him about whether or not he had wavered from his path of revenge, to which Sasuke denies. Moving over to the immobile Kabuto — which prompts Suigetsu to run to the other side of the cave — Orochimaru drains Kabuto of his chakra, causing Kabuto to revert to his pre-implantation of Orochimaru's DNA appearance. Noting to himself that Sasuke had changed since he last saw him, Orochimaru beckons him to follow him and tells him that they were going somewhere he himself knew well.
Chapter 594
- "The Progenitor" (祖たるもの, Sotarumono)
While analysing the situation before them, the shinobi are told by Tobi to witness as the Ten-Tails was revived and with it, the beginning of the world's demise. Confused that Tobi would be able to do this, Kakashi notes that the war was all for the sake of preventing Akatsuki from attaining Gyūki and Kurama and since his side still had the tailed beasts, wonders whether Tobi was lying. But recalling the fact that they had used a clone made from its chakra during the fight with Taka, Gyūki reminds B and the others that Akatsuki may actually have its chakra. Kurama then notes that its chakra was also present in the Benihisago and Kohaku no Jōhei which the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path had consumed and requests Naruto to switch with it so it could explain to the others. As the fox explains the story behind the two Treasured Tools of the Sage of Six Paths, the Gold and Silver Brothers and how they had come to attain its chakra, Kakashi corroborates Kurama's story with the intel received from headquarters. With this, Kakashi notes that he would like them to do something before the beast was revived, leading Tobi to retort that because Kakashi had always spoken so easily, it had led him to live a life full of regret. Guy questions Tobi once again on who he was, but Tobi simply responds that it would make no sense to tell him because Guy didn't remember faces. Interjecting, Kurama tells them that as Kakashi said, now was the only time to do something about the situation as the Sage of Six Paths had told them that the revival of the Ten-Tails signalled the end of the world. Answering Naruto's questioning of the Ten-Tails' power, Kurama tells him of the beast's might and the fact that amongst all the names it was known by it was also seen as the progenitor of all that existed in the world. The fox then goes on to state that though even it alone would stand no chance against the Ten-Tails, it may be possible since Tobi did not possess all of Gyūki and its own chakra. Tobi however rebuffs this stating that he only needed the beast to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi on the world. Switching back with Kurama, Naruto declares his dreams to Tobi, with Guy, Kakashi, and even B — who reveals his fetish for middle-aged women's breasts to those present (much to Gyūki's shock) — rally behind him. As Tobi launches into another speech, Naruto enters his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and attempts to land a high-speed Rasengan attack on the statue, but Tobi blocks it with his gunbai prompting Naruto to state that it seems as though he really would have to bash Tobi's mask in first. Tobi responds, noting that there was one thing he could not part with, and then declares that he would not let them touch the statue.
Chapter 595
- "Crack" (皹, Hibi)
Formulating their strategy as Naruto produces a shadow clone, the shinobi agree that the use of feint attacks would be crucial in this battle because of Tobi's abilities. Moving directly towards Tobi, Naruto uses the Super Mini-Tailed Beast Ball while Kakashi asks B to hoist him into the air as he activates his Mangekyō Sharingan. Deciding that it was best to avoid direct contact, Guy takes out his pair of Sōshūga. Tobi, wielding his gunbai is able to stave off Naruto's attacks but ultimately has a harder time at things once Guy joins the fray. Using his nunchaku to counter Tobi's gunbai, Guy is able to send the masked man throttling towards Naruto and his Super Mini-Tailed Beast Ball. Using that opportunity, Kakashi activates Kamui with the intention of ripping the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's neck off. However, the statue — which by this time was bleeding from the eyes and metamorphosing — is seemingly able to nullify the attack which confused Kakashi greatly, who immediately thinks of a possible reason for this, but it was not revealed what his thoughts were. As Naruto's attack is about to make contact, Tobi teleports, prompting Naruto to sense his intent and evade Tobi emerging from the ground directly below him in a surprise attack. Dodging the initial attack, Naruto, now separated from the others, has a harder time blocking Tobi's gunbai. Kakashi imbues a kunai with the Lightning Release and once again calls out to B. Launching him across the battlefield, Kakashi easily cuts through a rock that separated him from Naruto and then launches the kunai at Tobi. Forced to become intangible, but not one to give up so easily, Tobi changed the trajectory of the kunai and sends it hurtling towards Naruto. Telling him to ignore the kunai, Kakashi uses Kamui once again to warp the kunai away. Regrouping as the last attack seemingly fails to land, the shinobi wonder how they were going to defeat Tobi. Just then, a tiny crack appears on Tobi's mask.
Chapter 596
- "One Technique" (一つの術, Hitotsu no Jutsu)
Noticing a slight crack on Tobi's mask, Guy and Naruto thought that Naruto's last attack had actually hit the mask; however Kakashi disagrees, noting that the type of crack was not consistent with a punch, but a sharper object. Kakashi then remembers the lightning-imbued kunai he had thrown earlier at Tobi and had warped away with Kamui. B takes the opportunity to strike the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path as it continues to transform into the Ten-Tails, but the attack is deflected when Tobi erected a barrier, rendering the team powerless to strike the statue until they defeated him. After he had finished formulating his strategy, Kakashi then tells the group to aid him in testing his hypothesis. They then leapt unto B's hand, who launched them directly at Tobi, commencing the plan. Guy starts off using his Sōshūga only for Tobi to avoid it using his dematerialisation ability, predicting Guy's moves with his Sharingan. Jeering Tobi, Guy gets the masked man to absorb his nunchaku rendering him tangible. This allows Naruto to follow up quickly by launching a Rasengan, which Tobi phases through, insisting on the futileness of the strategy. However, the Rasengan seemingly dispersed before passing through Tobi, continued by a sudden explosion that inflicted his right arm and hurled him away, having him to get on his feet again thanks to his weapon. Tobi then realised that the attack was transported to the other dimension using Kamui, just as he was about to materialise. Realising Tobi's ability now, Kakashi notes that Tobi was not using two separate techniques to dematerialise and warp things away, but a single technique.
Chapter 597
- "The Secret of the Space–Time Ninjutsu" (時空間忍術の秘密, Jikūkan Ninjutsu no Himitsu)
Urging Kakashi to explain it in the simplest way possible so that they could readjust their strategy, Guy and the others listen on as Kakashi explains that Tobi's ability to become intangible and absorb things were one and the same. He then explains that when he makes himself intangible, what Tobi actually does is to warp away the part of his body that was being attacked to the other dimension; so while it existed there, all attacks would simply phase through his body. However, since Kamui shares the same dimension, the lightning-enhanced kunai that Kakashi warped away, passed through the "intangible" part of Tobi's body and ended up in the other dimension and scratched the part of his body that was sent there in order to make him appear intangible. When questioned by B how it was possible that their two techniques were linked to the same dimension, a hesitant Guy began to question Kakashi, but the latter cuts across him to ask Tobi directly where he got the Sharingan from. Responding, he told them that he got it during the previous war at the Kannabi Bridge at a time when Kakashi was being recognised as the "Hero of the Sharingan" (写輪眼の英雄, Sharingan no Eiyū, Literally meaning: Hero of the Copy Wheel Eye). With the Copy Ninja at a loss for words, Tobi takes the opportunity to chastise him and perpetrate his Eye of the Moon Plan as the right move for humanity, but his views are still rejected by Naruto who tells him that he would not give up his dreams. Taking the opportunity to chastise his beliefs as well, Tobi questions Naruto on how he would feel when he failed Jiraiya and Minato. Telling its jinchūriki to switch with it, however, Kurama speaks directly to Tobi telling him that it was entrusted to Naruto, who had befriended him, for the exact reason of defeating Tobi. Spurring the young man onwards, Naruto enters his Tailed Beast Mode and charges towards the masked man.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
Am I stuck in the past? Not really, but I like to blog about the recordings that I have recently watched. There are a lot of recordings out there on the PASS website and other places.
Recently I have had the good fortune of exploring some of the neat technology behind the Parallel Data Warehouse (PDW) in SQL Server 2008 R2. In order to get myself grounded in some of the basics around what PDW was all about, I decided to review the Dr. DeWitt keynote (Day 3) from the 2008 PASS Community Summit. The link to the WMV file is near the bottom of this page. As I watched the recording, I could recall the excitement of learning about this new technology. Whether you were fortunate enough to see this live or not, this recording demonstrates how a very smart person can explain such a new technology in a simple manner. I believe that once you watch this session, you'll want to watch the other keynotes by Dr. DeWitt as well.

Good afternoon, friends from the press! November 8 marks the Journalists' Day in China, I wish all Chinese and foreign journalists working and living in China a happy festival! I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your long-standing support for and active participation in the foreign ministry's regular press conferences, and we look forward to continued good and close cooperation with you all!
I have two announcements to make today:
At the invitation of France, Vice Chairman of the NPC Standing Committee Ji Bingxuan will attend the Paris Peace Forum and related events on behalf of the Chinese side on November 11.
At the invitation of State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, Minister of Foreign Affairs Heiko Maas of the Federal Republic of Germany will pay an official visit to China from November 12 to 13, during which the two foreign ministers will hold the fourth China-Germany Diplomatic and Security Strategic Dialogue.
Q: Could you give us more details on Vice Chairman of the NPC Standing Committee Ji Bingxuan's attendance at the Paris Peace Forum?
A: The World War I is a grave disaster in the history of mankind that caused untold sufferings to all countries, including China. During the war, around 150,000 Chinese laborers have left their homeland and travelled to Europe. They have made important contributions to the restoration of peace and post-war reconstruction, of whom over 20,000 even laid down their lives there. The Chinese side attaches importance to and supports the hosting of the Paris Peace Forum in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the end of the World War I. We hope that this event will help the international community review the lessons of history, cherish and uphold the hard-won peace and stay committed to resolving international disputes through dialogue and negotiation as well as multilateralism, strengthen and improve global governance, and safeguard lasting world peace.
In Paris, Vice Chairman of the NPC Standing Committee Ji Bingxuan will attend the opening ceremony of the Paris Peace Forum and memorial services for Chinese laborers and meet with French political leaders.
Q: According to reports, Foreign Secretary Teodoro Lopez Locsin of the Philippines recently said that China and ASEAN are pushing forward the relevant negotiations on COC with astonishing amity and that there may be differences and and disputes on the South China Sea in the future, but they need not stand in the way of the concerted efforts made by all relevant parties to conduct mutually beneficial cooperation in other areas. What is your comment?
A: We have taken note of the positive statements made by Foreign Secretary Teodoro Lopez Locsin. Currently, thanks to the concerted efforts of China and ASEAN countries, including the Philippines, the situation in the South China Sea is stable on the whole. The relevant countries have come back to the right track of properly resolving differences through dialogue and consultation. The consultations on the text of the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea (COC) have witnessed continuous progress. Last month, a series of the South China Sea-related meetings including the third meeting of the China-Philippines Bilateral Consultation Mechanism on the South China Sea, the 16th Senior Officials' Meeting on the Implementation of the DOC and the 26th Joint Working Group Meeting on the Implementation of the DOC were held successfully. All relevant parties had a thorough exchange of views on managing differences, enhancing cooperation and the text of the COC. China appreciates the positive and constructive attitude the Philippines has showcased in the negotiations. At the end of last month, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi visited the Philippines and had an in-depth and friendly exchange of views on stepping up maritime cooperation and upholding peace and stability in the South China Sea with Foreign Secretary Locsin and other Philippine leaders and reached many new important consensuses.
The peace and stability in the South China Sea serves the common interests and meets the shared aspirations of the regional countries. It is also our shared responsibility to uphold peace and stability there. China will continue to work with the Philippines and other ASEAN countries to actively advance the COC consultations and maritime practical cooperation and consolidate the current sound momentum.
Q: According to reports, the El Salvador President said on November 7 that China will give his country financial aids for social and technological projects. Can you confirm that? Doesn't this sound like the "dollar diplomacy" that Taiwan is always accusing the Chinese side of practicing when it tries to win over its "allies"?
A: First of all I have to emphasize that China's support and assistance for El Salvador don't bear the slightest resemblance to the so-called "dollar diplomacy" as Taiwan alleged.
On November 1, President Xi Jinping held talks with El Salvadoran President Salvador Sanchez Ceren in Beijing. We issued a detailed news release then. President Xi Jinping stressed that the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and El Salvador conforms to the historical trend and is in line with the fundamental and long-term interests of the two countries. China stands ready to work together with El Salvador to steadily and rapidly advance the friendly exchanges and cooperation between the two countries for the benefit of the two peoples. The Chinese side is willing to cooperate with the Salvadoran side in infrastructure and other fields under the principle of government offering guidance, enterprises as the main player, market operation, win-win results and mutual benefit, and support competent Chinese enterprises in investing in El Salvador. The Chinese side is willing to provide support to El Salvador in education, medical care, water supply, disaster prevention, etc. It is also willing to provide more scholarships to El Salvador, strengthen cooperation in human resources training, and list El Salvador as a destination for outbound Chinese tourist groups. The friendly exchanges and cooperation between China and El Salvador are rapidly progressing.
As to reports you cited as saying that China will provide financial aids to El Salvador, I want to stress once again that China-El Salvador relations are based on political principles and aimed for common development. In the spirit of friendship between the two countries and South-South cooperation, China is willing to provide assistance for the economic and social development of El Salvador as its capacity allows. The assistance will focus on El Salvador's urgent livelihood needs, such as food and water supply equipment for disaster-stricken areas and learning devices for poor students so as to benefit the society and ordinary people in El Salvador.

Report details fatal roller coaster fall
It took firefighters an hour to find the body of a woman who fell from a Six Flags Over Texas roller coaster in July, according to a 20-page report by the Arlington Police Department.
Rosa Ayala-Gaona Esparza, 52, was ejected from a Texas Giant roller coaster car on July 19.
Her nearly severed body was found on the roof of the Honky Tonk tunnel, which covers a lower track of the ride, the report states.
"The decedent's body was partially wrapped around support beam #471, with her lower body on top of the roof and her nearly severed upper body hanging over the south side of the roof," the reports states.
In a statement Monday, Six Flags said, "Our hearts remain heavy about this accident and our sincerest condolences go out to Ms. Esparza's family."
Feet in the air
Esparza was riding in the second car by herself, behind her daughter and son-in-law, the police report states. Early in the ride, her daughter turned around and saw her mother almost completely upside down with her head near the floor and her feet almost straight up in the air, the report states. As the ride began its third ascent, Esparza's daughter saw her mother being tossed out of the car, but did not see her hit anything, the police report states.
An investigator with the Arlington Police Department said he received an email from a woman who had ridden the coaster the day before the fatal incident. The woman said that after the coaster had loaded, the operator announced "all clear" but quickly followed that with, "Check car 3." She said that one of the employees who previously had checked the restraints came back to her car and rechecked the restraint. Then came another "all clear" announcement and the ride began.
Not latched well?
On the day Esparza died, a witness riding directly behind the woman told police that it appeared Esparza's restraint was not latched well. The witness and his friend said tried to help Esparza when they saw her feet up but were unable to reach her, the report states.
According to investigators, the coaster operator checked every passenger's restraints before the train departed, but remembered thinking the restraint was not all the way down on Esparza's thigh. However, the restraint was down enough for the ride's computer to register it as locked, the report states.
Six Flags sued
The investigator's report includes interviews with 17 witnesses, some of whom saw Esparza being ejected from the car. Other witnesses were unaware there was an accident until the ride ended, the report states.
Esparza's family sued Six Flags over Texas in September, a few days before the amusement park reopened the roller coaster. The suit, filed in Tarrant County state district court seeks at least $1 million in damages.
In its response filed Oct. 4, Six Flags denied "each and every" allegation in the Esparza family lawsuit. Six Flags said it did note build or design the ride and said independent contractors were responsible for the passenger restraint system.

Because she's my mother4 comments Posted by Rebecca at 7:48 AM
My mother came for a week long visit and we had a good time. She was such a big help between the babies and cleaning she really gave me a nice start to keeping up with things. She is a cleaning machine.
I am left with the little memories now that she has returned home. I think about how she would talk about my dad and talk about her husband and talk about her family and she even apologized and told me she feels responsible for her family not talking to me and I could see a different appreciation in her for our relationship which I think has come from her mother passing away two years ago. I listened to everything she had to say and I was sympathetic and forgiving and why?.....because she's my mother.
She helped so much around the house and with the children. It was funny to find every thing put away in a different place than it's usual so at times I would smile while feeling lost in my kitchen. She helped with laundry too and washed whites with dark's because she was certain this load would be okay being washed together.....I just looked at her with a puzzled face.....at times she did some random things that made us laugh and no matter what I appreciated her help.....because she is my mother.
A sweet moment came the first night she was here. She gave me and Amber a pair of gold ear rings each that my grandmother wanted her grand daughters to have. Amber is the oldest of the great grand children so she is the only one out of the great grand children who received a pair. My grandmother didn't have many ear rings to pass around. She will be giving Alyssa a pair as well but didn't have a pair to give because she didn't know Alyssa had her ears pierced. This to me was a priceless moment because she is my mother :)
This is her fist day with us.....
Watching Madison sleep
Our family picture she took for us on Father's day
This is a happy grandma
Overall it was a very pleasant visit and I am grateful for her help and the time we had together.
Bath time, frog things, it's not lotion! And Random pix4 comments Posted by Rebecca at 1:10 PM
Y'all know you wanted to see my bath room organizer thingy lol I finally get to use it! It didn't fit in town house.
So here we have the Boon Frog which we love! We followed directions (imagine that) and it's staying on the wall so far just using the suction cups. Many reviews complained the frog fell off etc...well our froggy has not jumped of the wall quite yet ;p
He loves bath time! And might kill me for this picture someday lol
Okay--Diaper rash ointment is NOT lotion and it is toxic if swallowed which he did put some in his mouth!
I figured out that he was copying me when I put "real" lotion on my face after washing my face lol
Okay--this is a great product! 4moms clean water baby bath tub. I bought this with gift money from babies-r-us. I bought it based on a review from a mom who had a c-section. It's been very useful and helpful to me with having had an unexpected c-section. And the little Bath Luve Frog is great! It keeps her warm and she loves the bath too, she only cries when I take her out.
The pix are, well, crooked....oh well....but he got hungry an took matters into his own hands lol
Sweet sweet moments!
Amber spiked his hair and said "Now he looks like uncle John!"
Thanks Cameron!! The swing is so nice!
Michael trying to pull her out
She's coming?!!2 comments Posted by Rebecca at 11:35 AM
I am totally shocked! My mother called yesterday and her husband surprised her with a plane ticket after she woke from a nap to come visit me and the kids on the 15th of this month!! She will be staying a week so pray! I am very excited! Pray for her health too, while she is here...she is on an oxygen tank for Asthma and has to sleep at night with it as well!
On a different note:
My girls were supposed to be cleaning their room the other day, so, while I am watching HGTV (LOVE IT) and nursing they come out to show me what they did to their innocent baby brother!
We will call this "Growing up with older sisters!" LOL...what WILL they think of next?
That's what friends are for2 comments Posted by Rebecca at 11:25 AM
While I was in the hospital Cameron came and spent one night there with me and we had a really good time! First she brought me Pei wei (Chinese food) then she went out of her way to bring me the sweet tea I like at Rosa's cafe. Shannon came the next day and was a huge help from the lovely cup of coffee, to moving me to my new room, to making me laugh an putting up with my crying and being irrational. I am past it thankfully (the crying but not irrational feelings LOL!). Anyway--between the both of them I thought for sure I was going to have to be restitched they made me laugh so hard! I love you guys!
okay--so, after I came home I don't know what I would have done with out Cameron! She not only came to the hospital and brought me food but she also made us dinner and brought me diapers! Who knew I would actually NEED newborn diapers? not me! Back to Homemade dinner made with love! I got my favorite stuffing in the world! Her homemade family recipe! It was a Thanksgiving feast I tell you and so good it hit the spot...I could have cried! Lets not forget the dessert (because I forgot to picture it ;p) I ate most of it by myself...not in one day but close LOL HA!
I love you girls an don't know what I would have done without you! Thank you for being there (Shannon driving 2 hours to get here and 2 more to go home just to be with me) and thank you for loving me so much even when I don't feel so loveable.

Kimberly Williams-Paisley Recalls Her Struggle With Mother's Dementia
From the early signs to the diagnosis, to the needed longterm care and all the emotions in between, Brad Paisley's wife Kimberly Williams-Paisley is sharing her story of learning to love again after her mother Linda was diagnosed with a form of dementia.
In a beautifully written essay for Rebook, the actress opens up about the full range of feelings and actions she and her family have gone through over the last decade.
Linda was a "joyful woman, devoted mother, an engaged listener and friend" before being diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) at age 61. For years, Williams-Paisley and her family coped and supported her mother by covering for her when she would do things like ask for nachos at Starbucks.
The mom to Huck and Jasper also shares how her own mother interacted with her new grandkids. These paragraphs provide the most poignant commentary. Linda struggled to say Jasper's name, and she and Huck made a game of it. "After awhile, the 'Spasper game' with Huck was more humiliating than fun," Williams-Paisley writes. "We had to explain to him why he couldn't play it with Nana anymore. He adapted."
Williams-Paisley's father was the primary caregiver until a panic attack sent him to the hospital. It was then clear that longterm care was the family's only option. The actress became angry with the woman her mother had become, and held on to exhausting resentment for the incurable disease.
Only recently — after conversations with friends who'd gone through something similar — could she begin to love her mother again, this time in a new, almost spiritual way:
She is, in many ways, a "new" mom. But now it's easier to welcome memories of her as she used to be. I see her in the expression Jasper makes when he sings at the top of his lungs, eyes and mouth open wide, head tilted back and shaking slightly. I remember her as I run, the way she always used to, into a cold ocean when no one else wants to. I'm sure I know how she felt as I listen to my own children with all my heart.
The diagnosis came in 2005, and the family has been coping since. Anyone who has struggled to understand this illness will appreciate Williams-Paisley's honest essay.

Regular readers of the blog will note that things are looking a little different around here. I'd had the same design template since this I started this gig, and I decided it was getting a little stale. Plus, I'd never been too crazy about the green and beige color scheme, but it was the only one at my disposal with that template. So I've switched to a new one, which I think has a more readable font.
Unfortunately, when I changed designs, I also lost my nifty header image from Lloyd Branson's painting of the overmountain men's muster at Sycamore Shoals. I couldn't find another clear, high-res copy of it online. I've substituted another King's Mountain image, this one a depiction of Ferguson's death by Alonzo Chappel, which is another of my favorite historical images.
Anyway, all the same features and links are still here, and of course I'll still be doing my darnedest to bring you the best history-related commentary and news I can scrape together. Let me take this opportunity to thank everybody out there who lets me share my fascination with history on this little corner of the Web.

After redefining rude at the MTV Video Music Awards, Kanye West found himself ranked somewhere near Osama bin Laden on the popularity scale.
West, who jumped onstage and ripped the microphone away from Taylor Swift right as she was giving her acceptance speech for the best female video, was blasted by everyone from Pink to Donald Trump. The more polite critics called him a jerk, but others did not hold back.
In her blog, Kelly Clarkson wondered if West missed out on some hugs as a child.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"I mean, I've seen you do some pretty sh---y things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, a--hole ways," Clarkson wrote. "It's absolutely fascinating how much I don't like you. I like everyone."
Pink tweeted that West is "the biggest piece of s--t on earth. Katy Perry wrote on her twitter page that is was like West "stepped on a kitten." "American Idol" star Adam Lambert said, "Kanye needs to chill. He freaks out every year."
Lambert had a point. But usually, West's tantrums are triggered by his own perceived snubs, such as at past VMAs, Grammys and American Music Awards at which he felt dissed when someone else won. Sunday night marked the first time he behaved like an idiot on someone else's behalf.
Miffed that Swift's "You Belong with Me" had edged out Beyonce's "Single Ladies," West jumped onstage and took the microphone out of the 19-year-old Swift's hands.
"Taylor, I'm really happy for you, and I'm gonna let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time," West said, as a shocked Swift stood by and the crowd booed West.
Donald Trump called West's antics "disgusting," and told TMZ he would like to see a boycott of West. The patriarch of the Jacksons agreed.
"I don't know what he was doing, he jumped up on stage and snatched that microphone out of that poor girl's hand," said Joe Jackson. "They should blackball him out of show business for that. He just leapt up there, that was bad."
West, who was reportedly drinking cognac before his shocking outburst, did apologize shortly after the event using all caps, either to underscore his point or to prove that he could still be painfully annoying.
"I'M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM," West tweeted. "I SPOKE TO HER MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD'VE SAID. SHE IS VERY TALENTED!"
He issued a second apology Monday, saying he felt like Ben Stiller's goofball character in "Meet the Parents" after his onstage gaffe.
"I feel like Ben Stiller in 'Meet the Parents' when he messed up everything and Robert de Niro asked him to leave," West wrote on his blog. "That was Taylor's moment and I had no right in any way to take it from her. I am truly sorry."
