Overlord episode 11
Tuesday, October 6. 2015 | Comments (2)
Episode eleven starts with Ainz sitting in his throne room remotely viewing the still not moving Shalltear. He's berating himself for allowing this situation to happen, which isn't helping his continuing doubts about his ability to be a real-life leader of a guild of super-beings. His self-chastisement is interrupted by a call from Narberal, who is manning their room at the inn in E-Rantel.
Narberal's communication skills come from a rare skill set that gives her bunny ears, tail, and outfit. Narberal only uses the ears.
Thanks to the iron-class ranger that was sent back to town, the adventurer's guild has investigated the area and knows about the presence of a high-level vampire. Vampires are normally a mythril-class challenge, but this vampire has clearly over-achieved a bit. So the master of the adventurer's guild has called all of the mythril-ranked adventurers in the area to discuss a strategy for dealing with the vampire. The other three mythril adventurers, all leaders of teams or guilds, start divvying up scouting duties, prompting Ainz to interrupt.

Overlord episode 10
Wednesday, September 30. 2015 | Comments (2)
Ok, this is the first full entry with the new editor. The old version of Serendipity had word-processor-type editors available, but I never liked the formatting. I always just wrote everything using html. So it may take a while to get this to look right.
Episodes 10 - 13 of Overlord adapt the third volume of the Overlord series, which isn't really fair. Episodes 1 - 4 adapted volume one, which was much shorter than volumes two and three. Episodes 5 - 9 adapted Volume two, which was shorter than volume three. So we get the same number of episodes as were dedicated to volume one, to adapt almost twice the material. So I'll fill in where I think it might be appropriate.
At the end of episode 9, Ainz finds Nfiria deep in the mausoleum, (regrettably) destroys the Crown of Wisdom, and then heals the boy of his Clementine-inflicted blindness. He then remembers that one of the battle maids had messaged him right as this whole mess was starting and asked him to contact Albedo ASAP. Now that he has the chance, Albedo's message is short and troubling: "Shalltear Bloodfallen has revolted against Nazarick."
On to episode 10.
In a posh restaurant somewhere in the Kingdom, a beautiful young woman is complaining about the food:

Now running the newest version of Serendipity. The blog itself appears to be the same. The backend will take some time. The editor is now WYSIWYG, rather than raw code. Let me know if you run into oddities or problems.
UPDATE: The RSS/syndication thingy doesn't look right. But I don't use the feature...if someone who does can let me know what it's doing, I would appreciate it.

Overlord episode 09
Friday, September 25. 2015 | Comments (2)
Previously, on Overlord:
I'm gonna cheat a bit. This episode actually wraps up the current storyline and starts the next one at the end, but I'll talk about all that next writeup. Cuz the battle is completely self-contained.
First, Nabe/Narberal. Khajit uses his charged Gem of Negative Energy to summon a bone dragon.
Narberal is clearly worried:

Jitsu Wa Watashi Wa episode 09
Monday, September 21. 2015 | Comments (0)
Jitsu Wa Watashi Wa episode nine is a story episode! Which is good, because I just watched episode twelve today and the producers are going to (probably) give us a made-up ending in episode thirteen. Basically leaving out half the manga. Hell, they never introduced three major characters, and haven't touched several minor characters who take part in the story. However, it's also possible, given how the build-up went in episode twelve, that a second series could be teased, or really just added on at any point no matter how they end this series. Hell, Kimi Ni Todoke ended the first series (done in two cours, btw) with the confession and hookup, and then added a second series where the main couple spend thirteen episodes building back up to another confession, but this time they mean it. So, grain of salt and all that jazz.
Asahi is regretting the lack of movement in getting closer to Youko Shiragami, so his best friend Oka (remember him?) suggests a trip to the pool.

Overlord episode 08
Tuesday, September 15. 2015 | Comments (2)
Ok, you remember how episode 7 ended right?
Clementine wastes no time. "Hi! I'm here to kidnap you! We want to use your special talent of being able to use any magical item! If you do that for us, we can use the 7th Tier spell, Undead Army, that no known human is capable of casting! We'll start an undead apocalypse!" As Ainz would say, the only people who tell you exactly what they're going to do are either lying, or so confident in their abilities that it doesn't matter if you know.
Peter, Dyne and Lukluther shield Ninya and Nfirea, but before the two can escape Khaji closes the door to the pharmacy.

Overlord episode 07
Saturday, September 12. 2015 | Comments (2)
Overlord Episode Seven starts the next morning after Episode Six. So...
The next morning, Ninya apologizes to Momon for the insensitive comment he made to Momon the previous evening. In order to normalize their relationship again, Momon jumps in on a conversation about a legendary dragon that is supposed to live near E-Rantel, and asks Ninya to find out the name of the dragon. This not only helps Ains Ooal Gown make more correlations with Ygdrassil, it establishes some shared ground between Momon and Ninya. Everyone is glad things are back to normal, but the mood darkens as they approach Carne Village.
As the group nears the gate, things look even worse:

Jitsu Wa Watashi Wa (episodes 7 and 8...)
Thursday, September 10. 2015 | Comments (2)
Ok, I'm gonna have to go backwards on this one. Normally when I write an episode up, I do the following: I watch it, grabbing every single screenshot that I think I might talk about. I then thin out the screen shots to find the best take from a scene and throw out some shots and scenes as I start editing my comments in my head. I then convert from high quality pngs to good quality jpgs and upload the files. As I write the commentary, I will frequently edit or re-arrange things as I go, usually resulting in throwing out any where from 1/4 to 1/2 of the images I uploaded.
However, occasionally, at some point in the pre-editing process, I'll realize that building the write-up with the current selection of screenshots is going to result in something closer to "description - picture. description - picture." And I don't want to do that. If I was going to do that, I might as well just link to somebody's summary and Sankaku Complex's screencaps. When I discover that I'm about to do an episode like that, I have to back up, head to the "New Entry" screen, and start extemporizing. At some point I'll glom onto an idea. After I get going, I can then start finding places to introduce images from the show. And that's what I have to do for episodes seven and eight.
Episode Seven of Jitsu Wa Watashi Wa introduces a new character, and Episode Eight takes a chapter from the manga about that character and stretches it out a bit into an overly-long gag. The episodes are supposed to develop some of the characters further, as well, but it doesn't really work out. Mainly because, as I mentioned early on, the anime production is combining multiple stories from throughout the manga into single stories. Some of those later stories work because they're call-backs to these early stories. When you combine the two, you just get a marginally funny joke episode that does nothing to further the plot. I literally have no screen caps from episode eight, because it's not worth it. Grumble.
Anyway, back to episode seven. Still reeling from constant harassment by Mikan and the newly-admitted Shiho, Asahi runs off into the depths of the school until he encounters Youko. Asahi's inner voice provides a summary of the story so far, and concludes by wondering how many people around the school might have hidden secrets. (I swear, this "hidden secrets" plot was largely gone by now in the manga.)
Asahi and Youko follow the pink-haired, horned girl through the school and outside onto the grounds. Asahi is supremely worried about the horns, but Youko is overcome by moe. She finally approaches the girl and asks if she can pet the girl's head, eliciting another round of reaction face from Asahi. As Asahi can't keep his emotions off of his face, the pink-haired girl deduces what his problem is...everyone always wants to know if she's really old enough for High School. Reaction face. Ah, also everyone asks how I stay so small when I eat all of these snacks! Reaction face.
Reaction face. "Oh, these aren't real!" the girl says, and pops one horn off her head. Reaction face. The girl wanders off, laughing.
At least until she runs into Koumoto-sensei, who proceeds to pick the pink girl up by her horns and and crudely threaten her.
The bottom line is that the pink-haired, horned girl is Akane Koumoto, a devil, and Akari Koumoto-sensei's great-great-grandmother. Akari-sensei doesn't really have any devil blood in her anymore, allegedly, but is able to keep Akane in line with violence and ruthlessness. And a lot of snacks. And thanks to the fact that Akane isn't actually all that bright.
Akane-chan is also, she proudly boasts, the principal of the school and admitted all of the vampires, werewolves and space aliens.
Youko and Akane get into a fight over whether Akane is playing or is really the principal. Akane starts shaking the school apart with demonic energy, until Akari-sensei threatens to deduct the repairs from Akane's paycheck. However, Youko seems able to push Akane's buttons, mainly because both of them have somewhat deluded self-images. Akane acts like a child in every way, but can't stand to not be taken seriously. Youko is oblivious and almost as bad at controlling her emotions as Asahi, but considers herself a "cool beauty", unfazed by life and desired by all. For the moment however, Youko has the one thing Akane craves above all else:
The episode ends with a rather unbelievable jump into another story, a sexiness contest. This is supposed to be an offshoot of the self-image debate, but is actually an unrelated storyline in the manga. Plus, since the production team joined it to the previous story, the personnel and setting have to be changed. Youko and Akane futilely compete to see who can make Asahi's nose bleed. After every round of failure, Shiho attempts the same challenge to make sure Asahi is "still working". And of course, it's a gusher every time. The episode ends with Akane blowing up the gym in demonic rage over losing.
Episode Eight is, once again, a mashup of two storylines. Asahi has to make up a home economics class because he was sick. Youko and Shiho have to make up the class because they failed it, and Aizawa has to make up the class for reasons I can't remember now. In the manga, this was the class they skipped when Aizawa was trying to teach Youko how to dodge sunlight. Their assignment is to make Japanese curry, but Aizawa brings the wrong recipe and makes a chocolate cake instead. In the manga (take a drink), Aizawa was a near-miraculous creator of chocolates, cakes and other desserts, but not so great at regular cooking. This episode was one of several that set up the second part of this episode, which actually occurred much later in the timeline. After it had been used to set up other storylines and jokes.
Anyway, Akane the snack junkie gets her horns on the chocolate cake, and threatens to destroy the world with a giant meteor unless Aizawa bakes her some chocolates. This sets up a bizarre plot where Akari-sensei has Shiho, Asahi, Youko, Aizawa and Mikan all bake sweets for Akane to try to get her to stop the meteor. The joke is that all of these people but Aizawa are incompetent at baking sweets, and Aizawa has a Tchaikovsky complex. As delicious as her sweets are, she always throws them away when she's done because she believes they are not good enough.
Ergo, Akari-sensei is able to exert her power over Akane via torture. And it actually works in the end; Mikan serves up some spiked cream puffs that knock Akane (and everyone else) out. The meteor veers off-course without Akane controlling it (???) and the world is saved.
There is one good joke in the episode. But it's the only one, so I'm not gonna spoil it.
I was really disappointed in episode eight, and the second half of episode seven. Even allowing that the anime is meant to be a bit compressed compared to the manga (take a drink), nothing after Akane's introduction and explanation needed to be included. All of the small bits of character development you get out of these sketches could have been gained via more plot-related episodes. On the other hand, some credit where it's due. I'm not thrilled with the voice of Youko or Asahi, and I'm not all that happy with how they changed the design (take a drink) of both Asahi and, to a lesser extent, Youko. Akari Koumoto-sensei and Akane are both drawn and voiced perfectly. It actually feels as if the budget for these episodes was greater than earlier episodes; which of course made it nicer to look at, but is also disturbing that the throw-away scenes are getting the most attention.
Oh, well. Episodes Nine and Ten get back to the actual story. I'm starting to wonder if there were two different directors involved.
Next up, Overlord Episode Seven!

Overlord episode 06
Thursday, September 3. 2015 | Comments (3)
Episode Six is rather talky. I considered doing Six and Seven together, but while I was reviewing the episode I decided it had enough material to keep it separate. I may change my mind by the end of the write-up, though.
Lord Ainz Ooal Gown, a.k.a. Ainz-sama, a.k.a. Momonga, now travelling as the dark warrior Momon; and his minion Narberal Gamma the battle maid (now known as Nabe the battle mage) are travelling with the four-man adventuring team Swords of Darkness (Silver-ranked adventurers) and the pharmacist magician Nfirea Bareal. Momon has partnered with the Swords of Darkness to escort Nfirea on a herb-gathering mission, and to seek out out and slay nearby monsters for bounty rewards. Considering Nfirea is the grandson of Lizzy Bareal the legendary pharmacist, who coincidentally became aware of an extremely rare potion acquired from a certain dark warrior, Nfirea probably has ulterior motives in recruiting Momon and Nabe.
On the road, Lukrut the ranger continues to proposition Nabe:
As the adventurers approach the forest that lies between the city and Carne Village, Ninya the Magic Caster describes the guardian of the forest; a monster that keeps truly dangerous beings from using the forest as sanctuary. The "Wise King of the Forest" is a great silver beast with a long, armored tail that can use magic. Ainz makes a mental note that slaying or capturing such an animal would clearly raise his fame in the area.
Meanwhile, back in Nazarick, Demiurge is trying to find Albedo, and has tracked her to Ainz-sama's bedroom.

Jitsu Wa Watashi Wa (episodes 5 and 6...)
Monday, August 31. 2015 | Comments (0)
Episodes Five and Six of Jitsu Wa Watashi Wa... accomplishes a few things. Easiest to overlook is that Aizawa, Shiragami and Kuromine are all established as close friends, set aside somewhat from whatever happens with all of the other characters. I had mentioned in the first episode writeup that even though there are harem elements to the story, the romance is essentially a love triangle; and there it is. Every other female is tangential; even Mikan, who has as strong a claim on Kuromine as the other two do.
In episode five, we finally get answers to why Youko Shiragami is the way she is...which is to say, what does being a vampire mean in this universe? First of all, she comes to school early and leaves late because her skin is really sensitive to the sun, but when the weather report says it's going to rain all day, she can finally come to school at the same time as everyone else:
She also didn't realize that UV rays penetrate clouds...as Aizawa points out, "I would think you would know that, considering you're a vampire." Aizawa decides to teach Shiragami how to use stealth and speed to hide in the shadows on the way to school. This works well until some street vendors get in the way:
Thankfully Shiragami is, as she finally explains, *half*-vampire. Her father is a vampire and her mother is a human. So garlic makes her eyes water uncontrollably and crosses make her really cranky. These challenges can be overcome. But the bridge across the river can't. Vampires get really queasy over moving water; and while the river isn't so bad...there aren't any shadows to hide in. Aizawa and Kuromine spitball ideas to help Shiragami: she could wear a spacesuit, or they could build her an external unit like Aizawa's, or wrap her in UV-resistant film. It's too bad there isn't a sunblock that works for vampires...

Dan Storck for Supervisor of Mount Vernon
Dear Fellow Mount Vernon District Resident,
For the past 11 years, I have been honored to serve as your elected leader on the Fairfax County School Board. During that time, I have worked closely with my partner and friend on the Board of Supervisors, Gerry Hyland, on behalf of our wonderful community. Gerry and I have done much together with our community, from getting more funding for our neediest students and schools to building the South County Middle School 5 years early over the strong objections of many Board and staff members. I will miss his caring presence, puns and commitment to the people.
Still, we know there is much more to do. From better educating our students, developing new jobs, incubating new businesses and continuing to fight corporations who won't honor their agreements, to creating more efficient, integrated county services, more open communications and fairer funding from the state. To that end, I have decided to seek the office of Mount Vernon District Supervisor.
As your Supervisor, I will:
Empower seniors to remain independent and stay in their homes
Protect our heritage through smart and green land-use policies and development
Accelerate Route 1 improvements and fight predatory car title lenders
Grow new high-tech jobs by fully funding our schools
With my unique combination of community, development, school and business relationships, experience and skills, I will be your strongest voice to continue the great progress we've made.
I humbly seek your support in the election on November 3.
Many thanks, as always,
Dan Storck
P.S. I hope you'll take the time to learn more about my campaign here, and if you agree that my vision is right for our community, sign up to volunteer here or make a contribution to help me reach other voters in our district.

Editor's Note: This recipe was requested by a Gourmet reader who stayed at the Inn at Sunrise Point in Camden, Maine, and wrote: "Innkeepers Rich and Jackie Diehl's signature breakfast dish was a fabulous créme brûlée French toast, which we would love to make at home."
Although the Diehls use large slices from a round loaf of bread and remove the crust, we also tried the recipe with a baguette, leaving the crust on, and found it just as delicious. At La Maison, challah is often the bread of choice.
Leave a Review
I made this dish for our Santa breakfast at school and I received many compliments and requests for the recipe. It was very easy to prepare. I did overbake it by only a few minutes, which resulted in some burning of the edges, which I cut around. Once it gets near done, it will burn quickly, so watch carefully! It was delicious and I will definitely make it again.flag if inappropriate
Overall, it was an easy recipe. However, it is definately too sweet (due to corn syrup) and generally not a traditional style French Toast...flag if inappropriate
Definitely would make this recipe again. I used maple syrup instead of the corn syrup and a little more Grand Manier than the recipe calls for. This is the best french toast I have eaten and I have made it three times already for my family. Perfect for brunch or a hungry bunch of kids.flag if inappropriate
I've made this dish many times - it's always a hit. My husband & the kids LOVE it! During the Christmas season, I make it with eggnog and sprinkle it with cinnamon/nutmeg before baking. I solve the too sweet problem by substituting premium maple syrup for the corn syrup. KEBflag if inappropriate
Fabulous! I just served it for brunch-made one batch with raisin bread and the other with challah. Everyone raved. I didn't have any Grand Marnier--so I added almond extract--which was perfect. Next time, I may add nuts. This one is going into the family favorites cookbook!flag if inappropriate
Way to sweet. Pain in the butt to make.flag if inappropriate
My guests really liked this, although I thought it was maybe a little too sweet. I liked that I could make it the night before. Also, the recipe states that it serves 6, but the three of us pretty much polished it off (or maybe we're just gluttons). :)flag if inappropriate
This recipe was great!! I shared it with a friend who owns a bed and breakfast in Norman, OK and in Ohio - I am anxious to hear their feedbackflag if inappropriate
Very, very good and so easy. Almost everyone wanted 2 slices though. Glad I made extra.flag if inappropriate
I made this for a brunch and it was an overwhelming success! I used Challah bread which I thinked worked out great! Not only does this french toast taste rich and fabulous but it is sooo simple to make. Almost everyone left the brunch with a copy of this recipe. People are still talking about how wonderful it was!flag if inappropriate

FORT DRUM — As Afghan-istan becomes a more dangerous place for America's military, 10th Mountain Division leaders have increased training to help soldiers avoid one of their enemy's most deadly weapons: improvised explosive devices.
IEDs have killed nine 10th Mountain Division soldiers this year in Afghanistan. Eighty-five 10th Mountain Division soldiers have died in Afghanistan since 2003, compared with 115 in Iraq over the same period.
With the division shifting its focus to Afghanistan — where the 1st Brigade Combat Team and headquarters battalion are and a spring deployment is pending for the 3rd Brigade Combat Team — the dangers of IEDs are on everyone's minds.
The fight against IEDs is not physical; it takes Afghan communities to reject the forces placing them there, such as the Taliban, according to 3rd Brigade Operations Officer Maj. Joseph E. Escandon.
In the brigade's last deployment, he said, an abundance of information traded with locals made it easier to rid the area of insurgents.
"The intelligence provided allowed us to go and very surgically remove them from the battlefield and reduce some of that violence," he said.
The 3rd Brigade Combat Team "Spartans" will work under division commander Maj. Gen. James L. Terry in Kandahar. But right now, they are training for more than two weeks on post conducting "Operation Spartan Fury," a counterinsurgency training exercise.
"This is our capstone event," Col. Patrick D. Frank said, adding that IEDs are their biggest threat and a focus of the training. "We are attempting to replicate that threat."
The Department of Defense's Joint IED Defeat Organization studied the danger in the past two years and concluded that fundamental to success is winning over the support of locals, who in turn will reject insurgent forces planting the bombs.
According to a Joint IED Defeat Organization report, the total incidents involving the bombs increased 22 percent this June as compared with last June. In the same time span, the effectiveness of the attacks has increased 45 percent.
The increased use of the bombs is a response to the more than 3,000-troop surge earlier this year, according to the report. But the organization expects the trend to decrease because of American activity in the enemy-ridden regions.
An example of that is Operation Dragon Strike, in which coalition forces are fighting to get Taliban fighters out of Kandahar, where the division's headquarters battalion is, and where the 3rd Brigade is expected to go in the spring.
The brigade's nerve center — in training and later in Afghanistan — is its tactical operations center.
Inside a tan tent, rows of computers and communications equipment face a screen that projects maps and real-time battlefield data.
Behind the computers sit specialists in communication, military intelligence and logistics. They use their expertise together to consolidate communications, talk to their units and advise the commander.
If an IED strikes, they react and communicate to soldiers conducting missions.
Units at the smallest levels have to interact with communities, show a presence and provide humanitarian aid.
"There is an alternative to the Taliban, and it's the government and it is the Afghan National Security Forces," Maj. Escandon said.
Units must communicate with Afghans, whether the news is good or bad.
"Even after some things go wrong, and you explain to the locals why you conducted the operation — they know who the bad guys are — oftentimes we mitigate those consequences," he said.
The Taliban are talented at spreading their own message.
"Insurgents are able to use word of mouth and put it out very quickly," he said.
One of their tools to compete with the Taliban is a "radio in a box," a broadcasting system about the size of a heavy-duty office printer. The brigade uses an Afghan DJ to send out information, as well as play music and poems, which are popular in the country.
"That's one thing you can do with Afghans as far as communicating from a distance," Maj. Escandon said.
For more personal communications, the brigade sent 40 soldiers to learn local languages such as Pashto, according to Command Sgt. Maj. James J. Carabello.
Small units have to talk to village leaders and residents.
"They can talk to a soldier, which adds a certain credibility," he said.
On Friday, 25 local residents toured the brigade's tactical operations center, including Jon P. Constance of Sackets Harbor.
He learned a lot about how the Army has changed in the past 30 years since he was a soldier.
"In the old days, you picked up a gun and shot someone," he said. "They're certainly teaching me a lot."
As of Thursday, 1,207 American military members have died in Afghanistan and 4,424 in Iraq since the War Against Terror began in 2001, according to an Associated Press count.

I'm trying to locate Waps Cuban Motion, an 11 y.o. bay (possibly with roaning) Appaloosa gelding bred by Heronhaven Sport Horses in State College, PA. In Aug. 2001 he won his colt class at the Maryland State Fair. He is probably around 15.2 hds. and very thickly built. I am looking for him because I just lost my 10 y.o. gelding and Cuban Motion is a full brother. Depending on his situation, I might be interested in buying him from his current owner.
Here is a link with his photo:
Even if I am unable to buy him, any information would be appreciated; my gelding was very special and I miss him a great deal. Just knowing where "QB" is would be comforting to me...

BY DAVID IGNATIUSInvestor's Business Daily
David Ignatius
During President Obama's first term, there was hidden friction between powerful Cabinet secretaries and a White House that wanted control over the foreign-policy process.
Now Obama has assembled a new team that, for better or worse, seems more likely to follow the White House lead.
The first term featured the famous "team of rivals," people with heavyweight egos and ambitions who could buck the White House and get away with it.
Hillary Clinton and Bob Gates were strong secretaries of state and defense, respectively, because of this independent power.
Leon Panetta had similar stature as CIA director, as did David Petraeus, who became CIA director when Panetta moved to the Pentagon.
The new team has prominent players, too, but they're likely to be more deferential to the White House.
Secretary of State John Kerry has the heft of a former presidential candidate, but he has been a loyal and discreet emissary for Obama, and is likely to remain so.
Chuck Hagel, who will probably be confirmed this week as secretary of defense, is a feisty combat veteran with a sometimes sharp temper, but he has been damaged by the confirmation process and will need White House cover.
John Brennan, the nominee for CIA director, made a reputation throughout his career as a loyal deputy. This was especially true these last four years, when he carried the dark burden of counterterrorism policy for Obama.
It's a Washington truism that every White House likes Cabinet consensus and hates dissent.
But that's especially so with Obama's team, which has centralized national security policy to an unusual extent.
This starts with National Security Advisor Tom Donilon, who runs what his fans and critics agree is a "tight process" at the National Security Council.
Donilon was said to have been peeved, for example, when a chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff insisted on delivering a dissenting view to the president.
This centralizing ethos will be bolstered by a White House team headed by Denis McDonough, the new chief of staff, who's close to Obama in age and temperament. Tony Blinken, who was Vice President Biden's top aide, has replaced McDonough as NSC deputy director, and State Department wunderkind Jacob Sullivan, who was Clinton's most influential adviser, is expected to replace Blinken.
That's a lot of intellectual firepower for enforcing a top-down consensus.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- Musicians connected to R.E.M., the Drive-By Truckers and other Georgia bands have joined forces to perform live and in a video as part of an effort to stop a planned Walmart store from being built in Athens.
The song "After It's Gone" was recorded by a group of Athens musicians known as the Downtown 13.
Reports say that Drive-By Truckers frontman Patterson Hood wrote the song with collaboration from Mike Mills, one of the founding members of R.E.M.
The musicians recently performed the song live on the roof of Wuxtry Records in downtown Athens.
Calls to Arkansas-based Wal-Mart Stores Inc. on Thursday morning were not immediately returned.

"Jim's a tough guy and you can see his personality is all over this football team," Fitzgerald said.
An Interview with Terry Talbott
Terry Talbott recently took a trip up to Michigan with his brother Terrence. Terry is a smallish defensive tackle prospect (video), while his brother is a defensive back prospect. Both are out of Huber Heights, Ohio, the same town that boasts 2011 QB prospect Braxton Miller.
If their names aren't confusing enough, Terry is about 100 pounds heavier than Terrence, and uses that to his advantage. Here's how they felt about their trip, and the wrestling moves Terry uses against his brother.
TOM: I want to get the first question out of the way, it's probably the most important question. You're quite a bit bigger than your brother Terrence, do you ever use that to your advantage; tease him ever, abuse your weight advantage?
TERRY: All the time, ya know, when we play around and we wrestle sometimes. I just come up to him, and we play around. I don't use my weight to sit on him, or anything. Just mostly when we play around with everybody else, I try to use my weight to my advantage.
TOM: You just went up to Michigan for a visit. Tell me how everything went, you went with your brother, I guess if you can speak for him too, just tell me how everything went, who you talked to, and everything you saw.
TERRY: We talked to some of the coaches, and we went around campus, and we just went around the football stadium. We saw where all the academics are. We both really liked it because we went through a lot of the drills too. The coaches taught us some things that we both can use when we play, to make us a better player. It was real nice.
TOM: You were offered before this visit right?
TERRY: Yes.
TOM: Terrence was offered during the visit, or after?
TERRY: I think it was after the visit.
TOM: Tell me a little about what they liked about, and what they liked about your brother. How you can fit into the defense that they were talking about.
TERRY: I guess they were saying I need to work more on the technique, and they want to make both of us better players.
TOM: I know you play defensive tackle right now for your high school, but you're a little bit smaller for defensive tackle in college. Did they say you have a chance to move over to defensive end, or do they want you to stay at defensive tackle?
TERRY: I'm not too sure.
TOM: What prompted this visit, it seems kind of like you came out of nowhere. Was there always interest in Michigan, or was this an on the whim decided to come up and visit?
TERRY: It's just one place that I've always wanted to see, it's the Big House. Everyone knows what the Big House is, so we wanted to come in and see what it looked like. I've heard a lot about Michigan, so I just wanted to see for myself.
TOM: What other visits have you taken, and how does this one compare? I read that you went to Wisconsin, just talk about how that compared to that visit, and maybe some others you've taken.
TERRY: I liked both of them; they're all different places. The facilities, they have a little more with facilities than Wisconsin. I liked Wisconsin too, but that was the main difference about everything. The stadium is bigger, that's how everything is.
TOM: With your brother, you guys are going on some visits together, are you guys going to end up being a package deal, with where you end up going to school?
TERRY: We're going to try to see if we can do that, we're going to try to see if we can go together, but you never know what can happen. What if he goes to some school that I'm not really interested in, and I go to a school that he's not interested in. That is one of the things we would like to do, it's always been the dream for me and him to be on the same team, not just for him, but for my mom.
TOM: Yeah, you mentioned your mom there. Is distance going to be a factor? You hope to have your family be able to come watch you in person?
TERRY: That's one of the things we've been thinking about too. I mean, she really wants us to get out of Ohio. So just find somewhere to get out, so that's not really a problem.
TOM: When you were on your visit, did you get a chance to meet with Mike Barwis, or hear any stories about him?
TERRY: I think I saw him, but I haven't heard a lot of stories.
TOM: When do you see yourself making a decision, do you think you're going to wait awhile and take all your visits?
TERRY: Yes sir, that's what I'm going to do. Wait awhile and take all my visits, and then I'm going to see what's going to happen.
TOM: What other visits do you plan on taking, or do you want to take?
TERRY: I'll try to go see some like UCLA, in California, I've never been to California before. Kentucky, and Arkansas, just a couple of them come to mind. I'm not really sure which ones I'm going to take yet.
The Parking Thing
So I posted up a press release that was sent to me and various other folks by the AAGO, the entity that is in charge of the golf course and the parking therein. In it, the Powers That Be make some mumbles about listening to the protest and complaints from people who've been tailgating at the same spot since time began…
"We appreciate the time and effort that a number of people have taken to ask for reconsideration due to their desire to remain in private parking areas where they can be with the longtime friends and colleagues," said Larry Eiler, chairman of AAGO parking.
…and then immediately dispel any lingering hopes you might have that they actually gave a crap:
"We are disappointed at the decision of patrons to disagree with the new regulations, which were made for safety concerns."
Mmmm that's tasty public relations.
Before all this came down, I attempted to commit an act of journalism by reaching out to Eiler. We eventually settled on some emailed questions, the gist of which boiled down to "people have complained and we will make an announcement." The tone of the conversation was similar to the above:
It interests me that everyone just ignores the serious safety issue posed by people who place tents, cookers, tables, chairs, games in the manner shown in the photos attached from last year's M State game.
The following photos from second fairway 08 MSU game. They thus occupy ingress and egress routes for emergency vehicles and create an unsafe environment.
This is the "serious safety issue":
I guess if someone had a major medical issue it would be difficult for them to get out, and according to a commenter on the press release there have been some recent incidents:
Apparently, within the past couple years, there has been at least one heart attack and one broken leg on the course during football saturday tailgates. I guess some dude was tossing a football around and ran off the top side of a steep fairway bunker and fractured his leg. The emergency services took a long time to make it back to the scene due to the parking situation. If it had been a broken neck, the guy likely would have died.
Not sure about details on the heart attack, except the guy was closer to the front and managed to walk to the clubhouse.
The police, insurance company, worried board members, all felt that it was necessary to prevent any potential future disasters by ensuring that there are clear paths for emergency vehicles to enter.
So the canopy thing, whatever. Be stricter about clearing some aisleways, sure. It's a litigious country. I wish we lived in a place where you just sort of accepted "hey if I keel over on this golf course during a tailgate there's a slightly reduced chance I make it." We don't. I think the safety thing is a pretty silly mandate but silly mandates are par for the course (HA! I kill me!) when suin' looms.
However, I fail to see what this has to do with not reserving spots. Everyone ignores the serious safety issue posed by people who place tents and whatnot everywhere because they don't care about the rule change associated with it. No one has complained about the canopy thing. They do not care. They care an awful lot about having their tailgate disrupted.
A lot of people cared enough about it to raise a stink; if you just got over yourself and sat down with them there was an opportunity to work something out. One idea off the cuff: sell season passes in certain areas that can be revoked if the parking there ends up unsafe. Sell specific—specifically orderly—spots. Everyone wins.
Instead no one wins. There was an opportunity to make a little more money and keep the people who really care about this happy, and it was condescendingly rejected. The main reason appears to be that the tailgaters got too outraged and accused the AAGO of being money-grubbing so-and-sos. In response the AAGO said "well, I never" and lifted their noses skyward, refusing to… gah… parley with those ruffians.
The AAGO leadership failed spectacularly here. Kevin Werner on AnnArbor.com:
"It's a shame - a real shame that the traditions of hundreds and relationships of many and a special aspect of this community is giving way to stubbornness."
Postscript. The most unbelievable part of all this is that all of the emails from Eiler come from "Larry Eiler PR." The guy runs a public relations firm. PROTIP: you should not hire it any circumstances whatsoever.
It's UConn
Stupid being correct:
UConn has reached an agreement with Michigan on a home-and-home series that will see the Huskies travel to Ann Arbor in 2010 and the Wolverines head to Rentschler Field in 2013, according to sources with knowledge of the negotiations.
Well, at least it's not a MAC school, but if Michigan was going to give up a home game I'd rather seem them play someone more interesting.
(That's Henri, The Otter of Ennui, by the way. Wave all you want: he doesn't care.)
Stop Talking About It, Stop Thinking About It, It Will Never Happen Just Stop
Pull the string on a person with a dumb idea about Rich Rodriguez's job security and you will hear a variety of talking points parroted back to you, perhaps the dumbest of which is that Rodriguez "doesn't fit in" with the old bluehairs that secretly run the athletic department and probably the world. Rodriguez will fit in just fine as long as he wins, thanks much.
90% of the stuff used to put forth this viewpoint is silly at best. For example, someone not named Rodriguez assigned freshman cornerback JT Floyd the #1, which had just been endowed by Braylon Edwards for a non-freshman receiver who had earned the number. Braylon chose to mention this in a newspaper article instead of over the phone, an infinitesimal scandal transpired, and Floyd was given a different number. BFD unless you're a person with a dumb idea about Rich Rodriguez, in which case it must be mentioned in every one of your articles for the Bleacher Report or Detroit Free Press. The only changes Rodriguez has made to Michigan's traditions have been to add Team Walks To The Stadium and Hype Video to the pregame dossier, which fine. Hype Video is a huge missed opportunity to have three seniors say "the team, the team, the team" instead of "I am Michigan" but it's okay.
This, however, would suck:
"I think nowadays when people are coming to games they want entertainment," Rodriguez said. "Obviously playing good football's the best form of entertainment, but what else are you doing to get the crowd into the game and have it be a part of the game as opposed to just being there?"
Rodriguez said fans won't see many noticeable changes this year.
"It's a process," he said. "It's not going to happen overnight."
But in the works are things like making "the band and the students and some music" more a part of the gameday experience.
The band and some music? Does the band not play music? If you prick them, do they not play "Let's Go Blue"? This addendum can only mean one thing:
…One of the most powerful things that forges a fan community is the shared culture that naturally arises when you can say things like "one second left against Penn State" and know that the person you're talking to is thinking and feeling the exact same thing you are. It sets the group apart. This apart-ness is fundamental to the passion sports fans experience: it's us and them, and the more us our us is and the more them their them is, the more important the thing beneath us seems.
Michigan has a lot of culture. That, fundamentally, is its main asset. From that culture flows the passion, and from that passion flows the money. Part of that culture is a public address announcer who embodies neutral gravitas. Part of it is the lack of advertising in the stadium. And part of that is the way the game is presented inside the stadium, with no "NoISe!!!" signs or plastic chariots or electromagic Spartys with frickin' eye lasers.
I like it like that. I like my church with incense and deceased Jesus, my Christmas carols by Bing Crosby, and my Michigan Stadium without frickin' eye lasers.
This was in March. He keeps talking about it. This aggression will not stand. Could someone call up Braylon so he can talk about it in the newspaper?
I have been to places, yes I have. And I can tell you that everywhere I go the blaring of extremely bad music at extreme levels of volume does nothing to pump up the crowd. Case in point: Joe Louis Arena, home to extremely loud, extremely bad music at every stoppage in play. Also home to perhaps the worst crowd in the NHL. Contrast: Yost Ice Arena, where the only sounds are from the band and the PA announcer. Yost has about the best crowd in sports, adjusted for size. I've been to Auburn and Michigan State and Penn State and Illinois and Ohio State and Northwestern and there is a direct correlation between piped-in music and crappy, chintzy game experience. There is none between it and a fired-up, intimidating crowd.
So, hey, relevant. The Michigan Marching Band is looking for a new thing to play between the third and fourth quarters and is looking for suggestions, if you're interested. I'm thinking of putting together a poll once the thread runs its course with the things that seem to make the most sense, so get your good suggestions in now. My obvious suggestion: Hawaiian War Chant, which has been overlooked far too long.
Except. There is one thing I'd like to see change as far as music at Michigan Stadium goes: turn the band up to 11. At certain spots in the stands, especially the far corner on the pressbox side, the band is nearly inaudible. Mic them up and make sure the entire stadium can hear it.
Unverified Voracity Blames It On The Autotune
This is what genius looks like. Prompted by Rich Rodriguez's tete-a-tete with Jamie Foxx, Orson gets parodic and LSUFreek drops this mindblowing gif:
It will take some time to load. You should wait. It references this. You should read the original post.
While we're making it rain. Michigan checks in #4 in overall athletic department lucre. The top ten:
|Total Revenue
|Big 12
|Ohio State
|Big Ten
|Southeastern Conference
|Big Ten
|Big Ten
|Penn State
|Big Ten
|Southeastern Conference
|Southeastern Conference
|Southeastern Conference
|Oklahoma State
|Big 12
Texas and Ohio State continue their runaway status as 1-2. Texas's spot at the top of the list is pretty obvious since, IIRC, the Big 12's television revenue is extremely unbalanced and Texas, as the flagship school not located in a tiny state where the only thing to buy is John Deere equipment, is the major beneficiary of the current system.
But I've always been curious where the Ohio State revenue gap comes from. The Big Ten splits all TV and bowl revenue right down the middle, so the only differences can come in stadium gates and sheer sport quantity. (For instance: I'm guessing the Michigan hockey team rakes in most of the difference between Michigan and Penn State by itself.) Ohio State does support a huge number of sports, but I don't think the crew teams or whatever at the tail end of OSU's athletic department bring in a million between them, let alone 18. And Ohio State's stadium is considerably smaller than Michigan Stadium.
OSU's visual cacophony of in-stadium advertising is no doubt part of the gap. The rest of it is probably luxury boxes and primo seating; I'll be interested to see what the numbers look like in two years when Michigan's suite spigot is turned on.
If you're curious as to the per-school average for BCS conferences:
- Big Ten: $76.4 million
- SEC: $71.1 million
- Big 12: $66.5 million
- Pac-10: $58.7 million
- ACC: $54.1 million
- Big East (football schools only): $45.5 million
Someone hide this from Clay Travis*: even when the SEC nuclear bomb contract goes into effect—which adds 60 million-ish per year—the Big Ten teams will still be ahead on total revenue. Not that this will stop the avalanche of OMG SEC FINANCIAL DOMINATION stories.
*(Who has a wikipedia page? WTF?)
Fire this woman immediately. Here's Pat Forde on something called "First Take." As it is on ESPN, it contains no information, but holy hotpants you might want to watch through the Michigan segment, which is right after the ND opener:
I quote this woman now. I quote her:
"They want to get the 'woof, woof' back at the Dawg Pound, back at the Wolverine house, the Big House."
Hey, guess what sort of values we're talking about. Got it in zero. Good job. Mark Ortmann on the offensive line departures:
"They're leaving for all the wrong reasons," Ortmann said of the Wolverine quitters from the interior line. "They're making false accusations. I got along with Boren, (Grand Haven's Dann) O'Neill and Kurt. But I don't understand where they're coming from.
"The family values at Michigan are there. That's not a question in anyone's mind. So for them to come out and make those accusations is not fair to anyone."
I don't think did O'Neill said anything other than "I'm a better fit at Western," but take that you other guys. Take that.
Etc.: Kirk Ferentz likes the idea of playing 13 games. What about the children, Kirk? Maize 'n' Brew hit up Big Ten Media Days, too. Talkin' with Ortmann and Brown.
Further 2010 Opener Deduction
This is all pretty pointless since apparently it will be announced in a week or so anyway, but dammit I'm interested and given the message board it appears so is everyone else. So, news items:
It won't be a Pac-10 team, and 2011 is not necessarily the return game. Mark Snyder:
The coach expanded a bit on the game to be added for next season's opener, saying it may not be returned by Michigan for a couple of years, one of the criteria of making it work. He also ruled out playing a Pac-10 school, saying U-M doesn't need to do that. That leaves Virginia and Pittsburgh as primary BCS school candidates with an open date early next year.
Cal and Oregon State are dead, then. However, Virginia and Pittsburgh as favorites directly contradicts a previous piece stating that…
The list of Duke, Virginia, Pittsburgh, and Oregon State was just wrong, and the team already has a game scheduled for the opener. Chengelis:
The prevailing thought among the media was that the team would be among these four that have an open date next fall -- Virginia, Duke, Pitt and Oregon State. A Michigan official told me today those schools are not candidates and suggested it's very likely the team involved will be making changes to its already existing schedule to make room for Michigan.
So, it's a non-Pac-10 team with an opener scheduled already (ie: not Oklahoma State) and it's not Virginia, Duke, or Pitt. And the implication from Rodriguez above—Michigan "doesn't need to do that," where that is jet out to the West Coast to play a legit team—rules out the super-elite across the country, not that we were going to line up Texas in 2010 anyway.
If you go back to the UV from yesterday that included a list of five teams that had some rumor buzz behind them. Four of them have been debunked; the last school standing is UConn. UConn has an opener lined up against Northeastern already, isn't in the Pac-10, hasn't been specifically ruled out, and wouldn't trip anyone's "we don't need to do that" sensors. Also my inbox has a couple of emails asking if I've heard anything about UConn and one stating "it's definitely UConn." My inbox has another email stating "it's definitely Cal," so the inbox is not exactly definitive. The UConn email says it's from the Michigan side of things and the Cal email says it's from the Cal side of things, FWIW.
I'm still pretty skeptical of the idea that Michigan would give up a precious home game to play UConn when the return trip would be at a 40,000 seat stadium, but a lot of teams have fallen by the wayside and the Huskies meet all the criteria we've heard so far. They're the best guess at the moment, which I guess is better than another MAC school but not by a whole lot.

Identification of novel targets for breast cancer by exploring gene switches on a genome scale

BMC Genomics 2011, 12:547 doi:10.1186/1471-2164-12-547Published: 3 November 2011
An important feature that emerges from analyzing gene regulatory networks is the "switch-like behavior" or "bistability", a dynamic feature of a particular gene to preferentially toggle between two steady-states. The state of gene switches plays pivotal roles in cell fate decision, but identifying switches has been difficult. Therefore a challenge confronting the field is to be able to systematically identify gene switches.
We propose a top-down mining approach to exploring gene switches on a genome-scale level. Theoretical analysis, proof-of-concept examples, and experimental studies demonstrate the ability of our mining approach to identify bistable genes by sampling across a variety of different conditions. Applying the approach to human breast cancer data identified genes that show bimodality within the cancer samples, such as estrogen receptor (ER) and ERBB2, as well as genes that show bimodality between cancer and non-cancer samples, where tumor-associated calcium signal transducer 2 (TACSTD2) is uncovered. We further suggest a likely transcription factor that regulates TACSTD2.
Our mining approach demonstrates that one can capitalize on genome-wide expression profiling to capture dynamic properties of a complex network. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt in applying mining approaches to explore gene switches on a genome-scale, and the identification of TACSTD2 demonstrates that single cell-level bistability can be predicted from microarray data. Experimental confirmation of the computational results suggest TACSTD2 could be a potential biomarker and attractive candidate for drug therapy against both ER+ and ER- subtypes of breast cancer, including the triple negative subtype.

About this listing

The Space
A comfortable and simple clean bedroom in in Kailua Town. Located within walking distance to downtown - shops, restaurants, harbor and beach makes it very convenient.
Close to public library and open market too. Third floor apartment with view of the ocean in a vegetarian household. If you're not vegetarian no worry everyone is welcome it's just a personal preference. You are free to use the fully equipped kitchen just keep it lacto-vege. No smoking and drugs. Free Internet WIFI access.
Guest and on street parking available. Close to Hele-on bus stop, and all shopping centers in Kona. Public transportation via the Hele-on bus is quite limited but there are private shuttle services within Kailua, last I checked the town shuttle was $2. If you want to go exploring outside of town you will probably want a rental car or make other arrangements.
Vegetarian household - we are lacto-vegetarian i.e. milk products are okay but no meat, fish or eggs in fridge please. Quiet after 10pm. No smoking in house or on lanai. No pets.
Free WIFI or broadband Internet access.
