Heidi Klum dances on US TV talk show
The German beauty was quizzed about her penchant for dancing on tabletops during her appearance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, after the host held up a photo of Klum letting loose at a Golden Globes party earlier this month (Jan13).
She told the host, "I had fun. I was with my friend Lorraine Schwartz, she's like one of the best jewellery designers. We were at the Harvey Weinstein party afterwards, and she was like, 'This party is so boring, we need to do something fun,' and she's like, 'Go and dance on the table,' so, someone had to. So I did. And, you know, I had a few glasses of champagne and so I was like, 'Why not?'"
Klum then gave Leno an impromptu table-dancing lesson by climbing onto his desk, flashing plenty of flesh as she danced in a sheer black dress with cut-out panels.
She said, "I got skills. You know, it's easy!" before rocking out to Rihanna's hit single Only Girl (In the World).

Rate Movie | Not yet Reviewed
For her first feature film, French director Anne Villaceque focuses on a terminally shy bank clerk named Sybille (Corinne Debonniere) and the uncertain bond she forms with an enigmatic young man. Pushing 30, Sybille still lives at home, reading romance novels and engaging in stilted dinner conversation with her TV-obsessed parents.
When the tall, dark Victor comes into her life, however, Sybille is transformed: the two instantly start up a carnal relationship, and the former wallflower begins to assert herself with her parents and co-workers. Victor, meanwhile, charms Sybille's parents so much, they allow him to move into the house, eat their food, and buy furniture and clothes on their tab.
As the family continues to cave in to the young man's demands, the audience learns that the briefcase-carrying Victor may not be the upwardly mobile professional he seems to be: He spends his days wandering around shopping malls and parks, slowly hatching devious schemes. Petite Cherie was shown at the 2000 Cannes, Toronto, and Karlovy Vary film festivals.

St. Brigid is the female equivalent of St. Patrick in Ireland, but there are no parades in her honor, and apart from the St. Brigid's Cross, her name is hardly known.
That really should change.
St. Brigid was a woman who was well ahead of her time. Born around 453, she was the daughter of a slave and a chieftain. Her feast day is celebrated on February 1.
She became one of the most-powerful women in Ireland. After refusing an arranged marriage, she went on to found many convents whose schools provided an education for thousands of young women who otherwise would have had none.
She was the lone female figure whose voice was heard in a male-dominated Church, but the stories of her good deeds and extraordinary acts ensured she was canonized well before most of her contemporaries.
She stands today as an example of an Irish woman who followed her heart and took on the powers-that-be in a male-dominated world. She was certainly a figure as extraordinary as Patrick himself.

I met my Barcelonian friend Elena in Tokyo of all places. We were both studying at Sophia University for a year.
We met through a mutual acquaintance and the three of us ended up on a three day trip to Okinawa. Both Elena and I share an enthusiasm for Okinawan culture and were so excited to go. We managed to see everything on our checklist and had an overall wonderful time there.
As it turned out, a few weeks later, Elena ended up moving into the same dorm as me. We ended up spending memorable times together, staying up to the wee hours of the morning chatting and eating candy.
Now, having only recently moved to San Francisco, we live on practically opposite sides of the globe. But we still Facebook and tweet at each other. And, most excitingly, we send packages through snail mail to each other, back and forth from Spain to the States.
While we were friends in Tokyo, Elena had no idea I drew at all. This was during my college phase of not having time to draw. Boy, was she surprised when she learned I was working on my graphic novel The Poet and the Flea. And, quickly, she became my #1 fan!
Elena became smitten by the rose from page 27 of The Flea (as seen on Part 4 of Behind the Scenes). So, for the winter holiday, I sent her the following ink and watercolor rose.
In return, at the end of January, I received a wonderful little New Year's present from Elena (see photos below)! She sent me a delightfully long handwritten letter, a bag of candy, and a flyer of a favorite Japanese band called exist†trace (which I believe Elena was handed by the lead singer named Jyou after a The GazettE concert).
I would love for Elena to come visit San Francisco one day, or for me to visit her in Barcelona (when I'm not an unpaid intern making absolutely no money). Elena is really the only person I keep in touch with from my year abroad and I'm proud to have such an awesome friend! Maybe someday we'll even return to Japan and even Okinawa together.

Welcome to the "City of Angels!" Los Angeles leads the world in television production, recorded music, and motion picture production. It's a mecca for anyone with an ounce of creativity in their blood, including artists, models, actors, musicians, and pretty much any dreamer who has aspirations of "making it big" in the entertainment industry.
Whether you're in LA for fame or not, the fun, food, and weather are sure to make you want to stay forever! You'll enjoy discovering hidden gems around every corner. A rundown warehouse could be the city's most happening nightclub. Your neighborhood strip mall could be home to the best burritos in the U.S. You never know what you'll experience in LA!
The only downside to LA living? Traffic. Horrible, terrible, no good traffic. Despite the fact that Los Angeles has the second largest bus system in the U.S., just behind New York City, LA was designed for cars. The city lacks a central "hub," like Manhattan, and is a sprawling mass of highways, suburbs, and neighborhoods. In short, it's not a great setup for public transportation. Plan on bringing your car and giving yourself extra time to get, well, everywhere.
The average rental rate for a one bedroom apartment in Los Angeles is $2,328. A two bedroom apartment rents for approximately $3,088 (October 2016). The cheapest neighborhoods for renting an apartment are Pacoima, Leimert Park, and Central City, while more expensive, luxurious apartments can be found near Toluca Lake, the Hollywood Hills, and Westwood.
Two of the trendiest new neighborhoods include Silver Lake and Echo Park. Both are overflowing with unique theaters, cafes, art galleries, and music venues.
Keep in mind that your rental price will depend on your proximity to popular restaurants, television studios, and city attractions. Your rate will also be impacted by the length of your lease and if you choose to furnish your apartment on your own or have it pre-furnished.
Moving to LA isn't like moving to say, Kansas City. There a few interesting things to keep in mind, like the fact that not all apartments in LA come with refrigerators and/or stoves. And remember, public transportation (outside of Uber) is not the most reliable. You'll want to factor in traffic and the cost of maintaining a car into your monthly expenses.
Compare furnished apartments for rent in Los Angeles and search recently listed studios, corporate apartments, and cheap one bedroom units on ApartmentSearch.com today! We'll even hook you up with on-the-spot furniture rental prices. Tell your next landlord that you found your Los Angeles apartment on ApartmentSearch.com and you could receive $200 in rewards!

The LPGA's Kingsmill Championship is secure for another four years, the resort's owner and the tour announced Tuesday, answering persistent questions about the future of women's professional golf in Williamsburg.
Kingsmill has hosted nine LPGA tournaments since 2003, and a two-year agreement between the parties expired after the May 2013 event. Tournament officials continue to search for a title sponsor that would assume a majority of costs.
"The resort and the community and the Hampton Roads area really have shown they like the LPGA," tournament director Wayne Nooe said. "Hopefully everyone's as excited as we are. I know the players are."
The 2014 Kingsmill Championship is set for May 15-18, with the property's owner, Colorado-based Xanterra Parks and Resorts, offering a $1.3 million purse for the third consecutive year. Prior to the tournament's 2010-11 hiatus, the purse was $2.2 million.
"We'll continue to pursue and look for a title sponsor," Nooe said. "I think Xanterra took a look at how much professional golf had meant to the growth and development of Kingsmill, and how much it meant to the community. And they actually now have seen two (LPGA tournaments) and really like it.
"The fact that they're agreeing to continue while we (still) look for a title sponsor, I think, shows their support. … For anyone who's considering that title sponsorship, to know there is a long-term agreement with the LPGA in place, I think that will mean a lot."
Women's golf has struggled to retain events, especially in the United States. But Michael Whan, the LPGA's commissioner since 2010, has started to reverse that trend.
"Everything about Kingsmill is top-notch, from the incredible resort, to the championship River Course venue, to the way they treat both the players and fans," he said in a statement Tuesday. "I'm so excited about our long-term partnership, as it ensures that we'll continue this wonderful tradition of showcasing the best golfers in the world, at one of the best golf resorts in the world."
"This is the 32nd year of professional golf at Kingsmill, and Xanterra is proud to be a part of this prestigious tournament," Andrew Todd, the company's president and CEO, said in a statement. "We are thankful to the sponsors, volunteers, spectators, and LPGA players who continue to support this tradition at Kingsmill and make it a truly great event."
Prior to the LPGA's arrival in 2003, Kingsmill hosted a PGA Tour event for 22 years. Citing escalating costs — the 2002 men's purse at the resort was $3.5 million — Kingsmill's then-owner, Anheuser-Busch, switched to a women's tournament.
The LPGA Tour attracted far better fields to Kingsmill than had the PGA Tour, which was saddled by a relatively low purse and an inconvenient July date near the British Open. Marquee players such as Annika Sorenstam, Karrie Webb, Se Ri Pak and Cristie Kerr not only won the Kingsmill tournament but also praised its hospitality.
But Belgium-based inBev purchased Anheuser-Busch and ended support of the event following Kerr's 2009 victory. Xanterra acquired Kingsmill from inBev and renewed ties with the LPGA in time for an 11th-hour tournament in September 2012 that conflicted with local college football and a NASCAR race weekend in Richmond.
The Kingsmill Championship returned to its traditional May date this year and produced a familiar champion in Kerr, who defeated another former Williamsburg winner, Suzann Pettersen, on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff.
The tournament will remain in May throughout the four-year deal.
"That's a great time of year for the golf course and the area," Nooe said. "It's one of the most beautiful times of the year, and I think it will show really well."

|Gerald Duvall has been notified by the National Benchrest Shooters Association, that his score; 99=1X at 1000 yards, is a new world record for Heavy Gun, Single Target Score - actual group size was 6.5", although not pertinent to this record. It was fired at the registered Reno, Nevada range on the weekend of September 18-19 1999 from a custom rifle and synthetic stock built by gunsmith, Randy
Dierks (Action Gun Works). The cartridge fired is .308 Baer, using the Sierra 240 MatchKing, from a 36" K & P 1x9 twist barrel in front of a Jewell trigger, Time Precision action and under a 8-32x56 Nigthforce scope. Note of interest for shooters considering this type of shooting; Gerald has about 1 year's experience in this sport. Congratulations to Mr. Duvall!
|Although ammunition can be tumbled for a short period of time to remove sizing lube it is best to use lubes that can be easily wiped away with a cloth or paper towel. It is a good idea to never tumble or vibrate ammunition. We have heard of guns coming unhinged when firing cartridges that had been jostled about in the glove compartment or
|under the seat for long periods breaking down the propellant grains into smaller particles. Ammunition should be fairly clean, but it does not need to sparkle like a golden mirror. Wiping off corrosion and crud with OO steel wool will more than suffice to fire it. After firing, it can be tumbled or vibrated.

The APEC Startup conference that just wrapped up in Seoul signaled stepped-up interest within the 21 APEC member nations in policies that promote new firm formation as ameans of "booting up" economies. Interestingly, the drive for this effort is being led not by the United States, but by South Korea which has taken big strides over the past two years to rebuild its own startup ecosystem.
On an earlier visit, I observed that despite Korea's track record for highly innovative big firms, a negative attitude towards "risk" and "failure" had been blocking the emergence of new innovators. On my trip to Seoul last week to open the APEC meeting, it was clear that a new generation of thinking has emerged focused on making the nation a cultural capital for entrepreneurship.
First, Korea is focused on becoming a leader in entrepreneurship education and I was told last week it is pushing a make-a-job mentality throughout its 128 fully recognized universities. At the national level, the Korea Institute of Startup and Entrepreneurship Development (KISED) is now running various programs and this year, KISED appointed 15 universities as advanced universities for entrepreneurship which will receive support for their activities, ranging from startup training programs to business plan competitions.
At the local level, entrepreneurship training programs have been flourishing—and sometimes competing with federal government activities, according to local entrepreneurship experts. The Seoul Metropolitan Government, for example, runs the Youth 1,000 CEO Project to provide young entrepreneurs with free officespace and grants.
In terms of global outlook, the South Korean government has been seeking diaspora influence through its investors visas, estimated at 35,000 issuances a year. This along with the decision to initiate Startup APEC is clearly designed to facilitate access to more global networks for Korean entrepreneurs.
South Korea's President Lee Myung-bak's government has also encouraged more public-private partnerships. Last week I met with the Board of the Korea Entrepreneurship Foundation (KEF), a non-profit organization launched in March 2011 with the leadership of local entrepreneurs and with support from the government's Small and Medium Business Administration (SMBA), the Asan Nanum Foundation, POSCO, the GO Venture Forum, Angel Leaders Forum, the Student Startup and Venture Networks and many more. Entrepreneur Chul-joo Hwang, KEF's chairman, hopes to develop KEF into a "Kauffman Foundation" for Korea handling education, research and policy, network building and angel matching funds. KEF will also run the grassroots Global Entrepreneurship Week in Korea to help increase the level of public interest from all Koreans willing to explore their entrepreneurial potential.
Korea's emerging entrepreneurial ecosystem is made especially interesting to outside observers by the history and performance of its big firms. Companies like Samsung are often cited for their willingness to embrace the Schumpeterian principles of creative destruction as they compete with lean startups set upon disrupting their markets.
Building such a symbiotic relationship is vital in encouraging more new firm formation. It is common to hear the refrain "you don't compete with the chaebol" (huge conglomerates). Young people I spoke to at Chung-Ang University and Hanbat National University told me that bright Koreans generally prepare for careers in the chaebol or the government but these institutions cannot absorb the young unemployed. The Economist recently reported that 346,000 graduates are currently out of work, up from 268,000 two yearsago. Official figures from the Ministry of Education say that more than 40 percent of college graduates in the past year could not find a job.
The challenge is not one of talent by any standards. According to the OECD, South Korean 15-year-olds rank 1st worldwide in reading and math, and 3rd (behind Finland and Japan) in science while more than 60 percent of Koreans ages 25 to 34 attained higher education. Rather, Korea still needs more public acceptance of entrepreneurs and an environment in which the entrepreneurial path is highly-regarded to fuel a new wave of Korean innovators. Cultural mindsets are hard to change but with the interest of Korean foundations in fostering messy startup communities and other state of the art parts of a strong startup ecosystem, this can change. Korea is already one of the top 10 easiest places on earth for doing business, according to World Bank data. And, like in Singapore, the networks emerging from the general globalization of startup communities are unleashing more risk-taking in South Korea. At lunch with the Korea Entrepreneurship Foundation, I talked to a student, Hee-kyeong Jin, who told me she was off to Stanford to learn everything she could in building better networked Korean university venturenetworks and startup clubs. That day I also met with 14 reporters all writers on entrepreneurship and startups hungry for content on startup culture.
Koreans are already known for their smarts, extraordinary work ethic and competitive spirit. And their leadership on Startup APEC is just one indicator of support for high growth entrepreneurship from the highest levels of government—not to mention the front runner in December's upcoming Presidential election is an entrepreneur. With the Korea Entrepreneurship Foundation now establishing strong thought leadership on both policy and programs to support more entrepreneurs, I expect we will see more Koreans joining the ranks of the world's most successful startup junkies.

Andover Business - Andover Inn
From Andover Answers
The Andover Inn is owned by Phillips Academy and is located on Chapel Avenue. It was built in 1930 and has switched hands a number of times since then.
- Orginally built in 1930 as a dormitory building, it was converted into a hotel and restaurant in the 1950s.
- In March of 1976 the Andover Inn came under the management of dutch hotelier Henry P.J. Broekhoff who oversaw business at the Inn for 30 years.
- Broekhoff's son, Marc, began acting as the Inn's general manager in 2000.
- When Henry P.J. Broekhoff retired from the Andover Inn on December 31, 2005, Phillips Academy gave the contract to The Vermont consulting company Oates & Brefeldt on January 1, 2006. The Broekhoff family purchased the Blacksmith Shop Resaurant in Rockport on September 19, 2005.
- State Sanitary Code violations kept the Andover Inn closed until June 9, 2006.
- While under the management of Oates & Bredfeldt, the Inn's restaurant was lead by award-winning chef William Hollinger.
- In February of 2008, Oates & Bredfeldt ended their contract with Philips Academy due to some legal conflicts. The disputes eventually led Philips to sue Oates & Bredfeldt for $185,000 in back rent.
- Morello Hospitality Group took over as the Andover Inn's management company in February of 2008. Oates & Bredfeldt chose not to transfer their liquor license to the new management team and as a result, the Inn was unable to serve alcoholic beverages for about 3 months.
- When the Inn was relaunched by Matthew Morello and Alison Sudalter-Morello (formerly the owners of Savour Kitchen) in September of 2008, it did so under a revamped name -- the Andover Inn, Brasserie with James Flynn is the acting manager.(Prior to managing Brasserie, the Morellos operated Savour at Park Street Village.)
- On July 1, 2009, the Andover Inn closed for an extensive renovation project managed by Erland Construction, Inc. in conjunction with the design firm Arrowstreet, Inc. Renovations were estimated to last 18 months.
- The Andover Inn reopened on October 1, 2010 with a fully renovated restaurant called Samuel's named after Samuel Phillips, Jr. who founded Phillips Academy in 1778.

Meet a Pioneer Pilot
Amelia Earhart Home

Story List
Amelia's last flight
By: Jordyn F.
Arkansas, Age 11
By now, most of you have heard about a wonderful pilot named Amelia Earhart who has spent three months preparing for an ''around the world'' adventure. Amelia and her navigator, Fred Noonan, had been very excited about the trip. I think they would have stayed home if they knew what would happen in their future.
Amelia and Fred experienced a crash while taking off in Hawaii back and March. The crash damaged the Electra 10E. After restoring the plane, they try again. Amelia and Fred depart on June first, flying from Miami to India.
Yesterday, the Electra crew flew over the Pacific. Sadly, the team never arrived. President Roosevelt has many search teams looking for them right now. I think we have seen the last of Amelia Earhart.

Debate on the legislation, touted by supporters as the most comprehensive in the country, began Wednesday in the Senate. The state House of Representatives was expected to take up the proposal after the Senate's anticipated approval.
"The tragedy in Newtown demands a powerful response, demands a response that transcends politics," said Senate President Donald E. Williams Jr., a Brooklyn Democrat, calling the work the "culmination of a bipartisan effort" that included unprecedented public input.
Some of the measures would take effect right away, including the expansion of the state's assault weapons ban, background checks for all firearms sales and a ban on the sale or purchase of ammunition magazines holding more than 10 rounds. The bill also addresses mental health and school security measures, including $15 million to help pay for school security infrastructure upgrades.
"When a child is sent to school, their parents expect them to be safe. The Sandy Hook shooting rampage was a parent's, a school system's, a community's and the nation's worst nightmare," said Republican state Sen. Toni Boucher of Wilton.
While Republican state Sen. John Kissel of Enfield acknowledged that "you just can't have a heart at all if you don't feel for the families and friends and neighbors of the victims of that Newtown massacre," he expressed concern that the bill is ultimately harmful to lawful gun owners.
"When it comes to further regulations on guns and ammunition in one of the states that's touted as having, right now, some of the most tough gun laws in the United States of America, I think it goes one step too far," said Kissel, who planned to vote no.
Gun rights advocates greatly outnumbered gun control supporters who gathered at the statehouse in Hartford to witness the debate. Gun owners, some holding signs questioning the constitutionality of the proposals, stood in protest outside the state Capitol and a nearby building housing legislative offices. Many also packed the hallways outside the Senate chamber, occasionally chanting "No! No! No!" and "Read the bill!"
Police presence was heavier than usual and Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's security detail decided to cancel an appearance by the governor - a vocal gun control proponent - at an event inside the state Capitol.
"We want them to write laws that are sensible," said Ron Pariseau, 66, of Pomfret, who was angry he'll be made a felon if he doesn't register his weapons that will no longer be sold in Connecticut. "What they're proposing will not stop anything."
Dan and Lauren Garrett of Hamden, wearing green shirts in honor of the Sandy Hook victims, traveled to Hartford from their home in Hamden with their 10-month-old son, Robert, to watch lawmakers pass what they've called the strongest gun laws in the country.
Both hope lawmakers will build on the proposal.
"It's just the beginning of this bill. In six months from now, it's going to get stronger and stronger," said Dan Garrett. "I think they're watching us all over the country."
Malloy, a Democrat, has said he'll sign the legislation into law, even though it would allow people to keep their high-capacity magazines so long as they're registered with the state by Jan. 1, 2014.
"You can make an argument, a strong argument, this is the toughest law passed anywhere in the country," he said.
But gun rights advocates question whether the legislation would have done anything to stop Adam Lanza, the 20-year-old who blasted his way in to the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown on Dec. 14. State police say he fired 154 shots with a Bushmaster .223-caliber rifle, gunning down 20 first-graders and six educators. He had earlier killed his mother, Nancy, and later committed suicide.
For some protesters, the mental health measures in the proposal were overshadowed by the gun control restrictions.
"I want to focus on people like Adam Lanza and the people that cause those mass killings," said Richard Pieczarka, 69, a retiree from Coventry. "That's the problem."
Search warrants of the Lanzas' Newtown home showed it was packed with weapons and ammunition.
"If it did something to prevent this incident, where the fault lies with the individual and the mother, not with the legitimate gun owners in this state, then we could probably support something," said Robert Crook, executive director of the Coalition of Connecticut Sportsmen.
Crook predicts the bill will likely be challenged in court.

"The best part of my job is the opportunity to work with and minister to the students," says Jonathan Mark Daniels, the newly appointed general manager of Dining Services at Andrews University. Daniels is officially an employee of Bon Appétit Management, the onsite restaurant company running Dining Services.
Daniels graduated in 1999 with a BA from Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama. It was May 2009 when Daniels came to Andrews University to study in the Seminary. As with most full-time students, he needed to find a job to help pay the bills. Although his professional background includes management roles in both the banking and restaurant industries, Daniels was thankful for the employment opportunity when he accepted the sanitation leader/building manager position for Dining Services in August of 2009. A year later, his role expanded to also include retail management responsibilities for the Gazebo and campus vending.
Daniels' previous experience in the restaurant industry includes six years working as an operator and corporate trainer for Chick-Fil-A, Inc. In this role, he was responsible for traveling to new restaurant locations to hire and train staff. He managed virtually all aspects of the restaurant business from administrative duties, including human resources, financials and marketing and brand management, to being hands-on with customer service and food quality and safety. Daniels then spent time working as an operating partner for Q Partners, Inc., a position that put him in the growth stages of restaurants ranging from construction management and remodeling, to developing standardized processes for restaurant operations to allow expansion of franchise sales. Beginning in 2006, Daniels honed his management skills as a sales manager for Impact Mortgage where he managed a team of fourteen bankers and loan managers.
Jonathan Mark Daniels
"God brought us here and we are very grateful and humbled to be serving Andrews University," says Daniels. "I appreciate the opportunity to use my gifts of ministry and management in one single role. Bon Appétit's philosophy of food matches up with our Adventist health message and I know that this will only help make Dining Services more successful."
During his first few weeks in this new role, Daniels sat down with his staff to share his vision for Dining Services. "We serve the students of Andrews University by providing them with nutritious, delicious food and creating a dining experience that offers comfort and consistency to University life," said Daniels. "We obviously don't ignore the staff/ faculty or the community, but we know the students are the reason we are all here."
Mark and his wife, Jessica, have four children. Originally from Georgia, they now reside in Buchanan, Mich. In his spare time, Daniels leads a men's small group, teaches a Sabbath School class and enjoys cooking.

A Conversation with President Clinton
By Trish Regan
I was in Chicago for the third annual Clinton Global Initiative meeting where the focus was on restoring growth to our economy. Bloomberg TV was the exclusive broadcaster from the event and, while there, I had the opportunity to speak with the creator of the event himself, Former President of the United States Bill Clinton. Bloomberg viewers heard his views on everything from repatriating offshore profits (he'd like to bring money back for use in an infrastructure bank) to the NSA, to Syria and energy independence in the US. When I asked him if we'd see a Clinton in the White House in 2016, he delivered a line that drew both laughter and applause from the audience. "Chelsea's still too young," he joked. He then went on to stress the importance of looking beyond politics and beyond elections. You can read an excerpt from my interview with the President here.

Or maybe it's possible that whenever a Shinigami comes to and leaves the 'real' world they take all the viruses and bacteria with them sometimes.
Why are we even talking about this anyway?

think the biggest problem he has is really introducing some sort of twist with a particular secondary character and then just leave them sitting there for a while.
So far we have Viazard's and no real knowledge of who they are? Ichi's dad is a Shinigami, without any back ground information, Same for Ishida's is the heir to Quincy (which is a bit less random)
Urolquia or however you spell it has been sealed for how long now?
As for no one dies in bleach... i think it should be rephrased no one with any plot significance dies in bleach. That doesn't bug me nearly as much, as it used too. I think One Piece viewers have more to complain about.

I think they plan on keeping Ichigo's dad stored up for a later fight. This is speculation but maybe he saves Ichigo from somebody like Aizen, then this pumps Ichigo up and he kills the bad guy then he tells flashbacks as he dies or something.
Ulq was meant to be sealed for a few hours which seems reasonable since I would guess the manga has only gone on about an hour os so since then, it just seems longer because of how many chapters have passed.
I like that nobody had died at first but, somebody jumping in to save someone at the last second gets a bit boring after the 10th time. Hopefully somebody significant will die soon to keep the plot going. (Chad or Rukia sound like good candidates)

Although coughing up blood can only mean either lung cancer (no cure) or tuberculosis (can be cured), the situation with Ukitake is really much simpler. It all comes down to the fact that (once again) this is shounen manga and Ukitake is the archetypical "frail samurai", just like Rurouni Kenshin and Ukyo Tachibana (samurai shodown). Sure, he could be healed, but that would ruin the image Kubo wants him to have. The archetypical "frail samurai" is supposed to be physically weak yet unbeatable in swordsmanship. These characters usually remain undefeated 'till their disease kills them. Didn't Genryusai mention that Kouryaku and Ukitake were his two undefeated students when he was about to fight them in the SS arc?
What would be left of Ukitake if it wasn't for his illness? He'd either be the male version of Unohana or a kinder, humbler version of Byakuya. In other words he'd be boring as hell.
Besides, if fans pressured Kubo to explain Ukitake's situation he'd probably come up with a half assed chapter that would dissapoint everyone and Ukitake would still be the way he is now, albeit with a lame background story. So it's better if we don't know and he maintains some mystery.

As for Renji, he doesn't even get more power. Time froze for him since he got his ban kai.
Ichimaru is right. There hasn't been any character development in ages. No sooner had they saved Rukia before getting into a brawl with Grimjaw's buddies, followed by a crash course in vizard transfomation for Ichigo (ban kai style) and off to Hueco Mundo they go.

South African presidency says Nelson Mandela will spend Christmas Day in hospital
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
JOHANNESBURG – South Africa's presidency says former leader Nelson Mandela will spend Christmas Day in hospital.
The presidency says in a statement that Mandela's doctors confirmed the news on Monday. The anti-apartheid figure was admitted Dec. 8 to a hospital in Pretoria, the South African capital. He was diagnosed with a lung infection and had a procedure to remove gallstones; officials have said Mandela is improving and is responding to treatment.
South African President Jacob Zuma says the whole country is behind Mandela and he is urging people to keep the former president in their thoughts on Christmas Day and throughout the holiday season. Zuma describes Mandela, who was imprisoned under apartheid for 27 years, as an "ardent fighter."

Radiation Safety Training for Clinical Staff at Proton Centers
Search Medline for
|September 24, 2009
As new proton facilities come on line it is our responsibility to educate staff on the various aspects of radiation safety that are specific to proton therapy. At MGH we have developed a lecture that is mandatory for new therapy staff who may, or may not have been involved in conventional therapy but who are going to be involved at the proton center. This lecture is presented annually as a refresher course for those who continue to work at the proton center. The emphasis of the lecture is to provide a baseline for staff so they feel safe in their environment and enable them to answer simple patient questions.
We start by giving an overview of the facility describing how we generate, guide, shape and deliver protons pointing out the areas of interest to specific staff. Shielding is discussed as well as the interactions of protons with various materials. Regulatory exposure limits as well as typical background exposures from our everyday environment are discussed. Patient and staff exposures from diagnostic pre-treatment imaging are discussed in context of day-to-day practice and facility design. Data is presented on neutron activation levels inside and outside the treatment rooms during beam delivery. Background levels within the treatment rooms are provided as well as activation levels of treatment hardware which is regularly handled by staff such as apertures, range compensators and masks. We complete our lecture by comparing measured occupational exposures of our staff involved in conventional teletherapy and those in the proton center, which in practice are very similar.

H.L. Mencken wrote that for every complex problem there is one solution "that is simple, neat, and wrong." When it comes to the American response to the crisis in Egypt, it appears we have two of them.
One relies on the idea that the US can determine the outcome of this new transition period. The other depends on the notion that there will be dire consequences if we back the opposition and a supporter of (former) President Hosni Mubarak retains power. Both assumptions, while seductive, are false.
Consequently, Washington has taken an ineffective, middle-of-the road approach.
As Egyptian history continues to sprint forward following Mr. Mubarak's resignation, the Obama administration should back the opposition much more decisively, however disparate and uncertain its makeup and aims. For if one of Mubarak's comrades in the military or his National Democratic Party emerges stably in power, we lose very little. They will not change the policies we care about. If the opposition ends up gaining power, however, our position is dramatically stronger than it would be otherwise.
President Obama cheered on the spirit of the Egyptian people today and called on the military to ensure a speedy path toward free and fair elections. Though he did not commit himself to anything, let's hope it was the first step toward a new policy.
Obsessed with the first faulty argument, most of Washington has pondered one question above all: Who do we want to take the reins of Egyptian power?
Gary Sick outlined the supposed challenges to this decision in Foreign Policy a few weeks ago, "Should you back the regime to the hilt, in the conviction that a change of leadership would likely endanger your most precious security interests? Or should you side with the opposition – either because you agree with its goals or simply because you want to be on the 'right side of history' (and in a better position to pursue your policy objectives) once the dust has settled?"
According to this view, once we've determined which endgame best serves our cold interests, warm ideals, or some tepid combination of the two, we are to throw our power – indeed, our hegemonic influence – behind that outcome.
We're not pharaoh-makers
Even if we wanted to, however, we cannot fix this fight. We simply lack the power to be pharoah-makers.
Do we have influence? Yes. Approximately $1.5 billion in annual aid has to buy something. We have the ear of the political and military elites and we have the threat of turning off the spigot. But that's not worth much in revolutionary times, when everything is on the line – the meaning of the past, the direction of the future, and maybe life itself for the losing side.
Given these stakes, we are, like George Washington Carver, working with peanuts. Imagine us presenting regime leaders with the choice of maintaining power without American aid and support, or losing power entirely. And while the opposition would welcome Mr. Obama's assistance, they are not about to change their plans if it's not forthcoming.
Yet many commentators rely on the assumption that US holds enormous sway over the final outcome. In The Daily Beast, Leslie Gelb worried about the Muslim Brotherhood seizing power and set out a complex best-case-scenario featuring a transition toward "real democracy." He called on the US to push hard toward this outcome. Stephen Walt argued in Foreign Policy that from his "realist" perspective, the US ought to advance the protesters' cause, since a democratic Egypt would be more stable domestically, more respected internationally, and thus more valuable as an ally. Leon Wieseltier wrote in The New Republic that "we must do what we can to influence [the revolution]," and in favor of the democratic protesters.
If only we could. We can still control a lot of the world, just not all of it all the time. If we had good reason to believe our influence would tip the balance, it would be a different scenario. But we don't.
People who realize this, the Obama administration seemingly included, tend to endorse the second "simple, neat, and false" solution. It goes like this. Since we cannot determine the revolution's outcome, we ought to wait and see who will emerge victorious and then throw our support to that side. In the meantime, we ought to use what limited influence we have, but above all ride a malleable middle ground position.
Yes, no, maybe
Like a good politician faced with a question he'd rather not answer, Mr. Obama and his team have said yes, no, and maybe at the same time, refusing to commit themselves to any particular outcome, and making pitches to each side that they have America's support.
The logic, in terms of pure power concerns, is straightforward. If Mubarak's people in the military and his party maintain control, Obama wants to preserve our strategic partnership with them, centered on Egyptian peace with Israel and opposition to radical Islamism. If the regime's opponents take power in some form, either abruptly or as the result of a stable transition, Obama wants to be able to work with them as well, ideally preserving the alliance's core features.
If we oppose the ultimately triumphant group, goes the argument, it will destroy our relationship with whomever ends up ruling Egypt. So we ought to bide our time, tacking this way and that, hedging out bets, until the outcome is more certain.
This two-way policy, however, only works in one direction. If we support the opposition vigorously, Mubarak's people will not "punish" us if they retain power. The policies that would antagonize America would undermine Egpyt's own interests, as they conceive of them.
They would not break the peace treaty with Israel. It would infuriate the world's powers and conceivably could start a war. Nor would they embrace radical Islamism and terrorism. Much of their supposed legitimacy depends on the threat of and their opposition to Islamists. Nor would they ally with Iran.
They would not enact these policies even if we stopped donating that $1.5 billion. They don't believe these policies would benefit Egypt, and they never have.
Mubarak's mantra was "stability for the sake of development," which these conservative policies reflect. The reason we have had an alliance with the Mubarak regime is not because we pay for one. It's because Egypt's and America's strategic interests, as we each interpret them, dovetail. To harm us would be to harm themselves.
In the other direction, however, there are serious consequences if the opposition grabs power as we stand by quietly. During a revolution, a middle ground position means support for the status quo and the ancien régime, at least for those on the street and their leaders. The new government, whatever its makeup, and the people, will not forget. If America were perceived as a friend and supporter from the beginning, however, it would place us in a much stronger position as the new regime determines their understanding of Egyptian interests, and the place within them for our strategic partnership.
If we lose some credibility with our autocratic allies as a fair weather friend, that concern is vastly outweighed by positive impact greater support for the protesters would have on global Muslim opinion on America – to say nothing of maintaining integrity with our own ideals.
If this seems like a complex justification for a policy, that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's chess, not checkers out there, and simple solutions, however artfully conceived, aren't always right.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does whey protein come from?
"Whey" is the name given to the watery part of milk that remains after making cheese. Whey is, in fact, a byproduct of cheese manufacturing that is rich in lactose, vitamins, minerals, and whey protein.
Dairy "whey protein" is composed of several different protein fractions that include: alpha-lactalbumin, beta-lactoglobulin, bovine serum albumin, glycomacropeptides, immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, and the proteose peptones. Each one is nutrient-rich and essential in its own way, yet it is the combination of all these fractions that gives whey protein the nutritious and health promoting value.
Does Pure Whey Protein Stack contain any lactose? If so, how much?
Yes. Pure Whey Protein Stack contains whey protein concentrate, and whey protein concentrates do contain a level of lactose. Therefore, there is some lactose present. This averages about 1.5g per serving depending on the flavor. For comparison purposes one 8 oz. glass of skim milk contains 14g of lactose and 8g of protein.

Intermap's DEM products are 3D raster datasets with elevations captured at 5-meter postings or every 5 meters. They are generated using Intermap's STAR technology (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar), which is mounted to an aircraft. The Digital Terrain Model (DTM) data product represents the bare earth and is derived from the Digital Surface Model (DSM) using Intermap's proprietary algorithm and editing processes. Accuracy statements are based on unobstructed areas of moderately sloped terrain. Diminished accuracies are to be expected in areas of extreme terrain and dense vegetation. The DTM is stored as a contiguous dataset spanning continental land masses where we have captured data. It is available in specific areas of interest or in 15-minute by 15-minute tile areas. For more detailed information, refer to Intermap's Product Handbook at http://www.intermap.com/Portals/0/doc/Brochures/INTERMAP_Product_Handbook.pdf. The DTMs are used as a fundamental layer of information in 3D geospatial analysis and spatial information Decision Support Systems (DSS). Typical applications include storm surge analysis, flood planning and watershed analysis, radio propagation modeling, and contour generation. A number of the priority layers of spatial information recognized by the National Spatial Data Infrastructure may be derived from Intermap Technologies' DEMs including elevation, shoreline delineation, hydrography, slope, and aspect layers. 20120723 20120730 The above dates refer to the time of field data acquisition and therefore reflect ground conditions at that time.

Mattel's Attempt To Claim Ownership Of Bratz Comes Back To Bite Them: Now They May Owe $88.5 Million
from the blowback dept
Thankfully, Judge Kozinski on the 9th Circuit came to the rescue and wrote a fantastic ruling explaining all of this to the district court, and sending the case back for a new trial. As part of that, MGA also filed some counterclaims against Mattel, including the claim that Mattel illegally spied on MGA and copied trade secrets from the company through questionable means. When these counterclaims were filed, I actually suggested that it was silly and distracting from the larger point... which I still stand by.
However, from a karmic perspective, it's interesting to see that the new jury has rejected nearly all of the claims against MGA, but sided with MGA on the trade secrets claim, and suggested an award of $88.5 million from Mattel to MGA -- an amount that MGA is going to ask the court to double for punitive reasons.
To summarize: in the course of a few short years, Mattel went from losing in the marketplace to MGA, to winning a court case that gave it total control over the competing product... to now not having control and having to pay MGA potentially millions.
Of course, this isn't over yet. Mattel has already asked the court for a brand new trial, and if that doesn't work, it says it's going to appeal the case, even if some "industry analysts" are apparently telling Mattel the company should just drop it. I have a feeling we haven't yet seen the end of this case, however.

Amphibian Conservation_3
To rehabilitate and manage a sand pit to provide breeding sites for amphibians in Germany
There are 21 native amphibian species in Germany. 16 of these are considered threatened at the national level and have been included in the country's Red List. 2 species are considered to be critically endangered, 5 endangered, 5 vulnerable, and 2 near threatened. One more is rare due to its limited range within the country, and another is declining.
While chytrid fungus, a pathogen causing worldwide dramatic losses in amphibians, does occur in Central Europe, it does not appear to be the reason for the overall precarious situation of the German amphibians. The main reasons are rather habitat loss and fragmentation, and the high number of migrating animals being killed by road traffic.
As part of the long-term Amphibian Conservation Programme of the zoos, animal parks and wildlife parks in the German-speaking area, at least 27 institutions have decided to take measures to improve the survival of amphibians locally, i.e. on their properties or in their neighbourhood. Activities include monitoring and research, rehabilitation or creation of habitats, and, where necessary, translocations and reintroductions. These activities are accompanied by educational programmes.
In 2008, i.e. during the Year of the Frog, the Bischofswerda Animal
Park in Saxony initiated a joint project with the local youth group "Experience Nature – Conserve Nature" comprising habitat and species
conservation measures in the former sand pit Weickersdorf next to
The former sand pit Weickersdorf used to be an important amphibian habitat but has lost its value in recent years due to forest and bush encroachment, silting up and formation of anoxic mud. Periodic monitoring since 1993 revealed a clear decline of amphibian populations.
In September 2008, i.e. during a period of the year where amphibians are found almost exclusively in their terrestrial habitats, the ponds were dug out allowing for a water depth of 0.4 to 1.0 m, trees and bushes next to the water surface were removed, and additional wintering places were created using the material dug out from the ponds. The pond landscape will now become valuable again for the smooth newt (Triturus vulgaris), Alpine newt (Triturus alpestris), crested newt (Triturus cristatus), spadefoot (Pelobates fuscus), common toad (Bufo bufo), and the common frog (Rana temporaria).
WAZA Conservation Project 08020 is implemented by the Bischofswerda Zoo in cooperation with local NGOs and financial support from the Friend of Bischofswerda Zoo.

Cooler weather is here and local anglers have been hauling in catches this week.
Cooler weather is here and local anglers have been hauling in catches this week.
Despite the lower temperatures around the area, anglers are having success catching redfish and speckled trout in recent days.
The redfish action continues to look good, and the speckled trout fishing is starting to coming out of its slow migration period stage.
Bill Lake of Bayou Guide Service said anglers are being helped by the cool temperatures on local waterways.
"It just keeps getting better and better every week," Lake said. "Every little cool front that comes in, it lowers the water temperature. People are catching fish everywhere. Right now is a good time to be on the water. It's almost impossible to come in with no fish right now. It really is."
While the fishing has slowed down around the coast, Buggie Vegas of Bridgeside Marina in Grand Isle said a few anglers had success grabbing blackfin tuna, yellowfin tuna and flounder in recent days.
"People are not fishing much, but they are still catching them in the marsh," Vegas said. "It's slow, but they still have a few boats going out there to go fishing and making some catches."
Good fishing.
Lake said his crew continues to enjoy a good success on the waters, catching between 60-to-75 fish a day.
"Redfish is still going strong," Lake said. "We've been limiting out on redfish for the last eight weeks. With the speckled trout fishing getting better every day, it's going to be super in November and December coming up. It's going to be a great. The fishing is as good as it gets right now. It's fantastic."
Best spots: Lake Decade, Lake Mechant, Sister Lake, Lost Lake, Lake Boudreaux and Madison Bay.
Best baits: LSU Bayou Chubs, swim baits and chicken-on-a-chain for redfish; shrimp under a cork and sparkle beetles for trout.
Good fishing.
Although the speckled trout fishing is still slow in this area, anglers are catching plenty of redfish.
Best spots: Catfish Lake, Sister Lake and area duck ponds.
Best baits: Minnows, bait shrimp, plastic baits and gold spoons.
Average fishing.
The fishing remains slow in this area, but there are reports of a few anglers catching sac-a-lait, perch and bass.
Best spots: Brady Canal and Orange Grove Canal.
Best baits: Blue-white and black-chartreuse tube jigs, spinner baits, worms and night crawlers.
Average fishing.
While few people are heading to Grand Isle to fish this time of year, Vegas said the ones who hit the waters are finding some good fish.
"There were two charter boats that went out 25 miles off the coast and caught 30-40 speckled trout," Vegas said. "The weather is supposed to stay nice throughout the week. They'll probably continue to catch lots of redfish."
Best spots: Caminada Bay, Timbalier Bay and coastal marshes, beaches and marinas.
Best baits: Live minnows for trout and flounder and pogies for redfish.

U.S. EPA Files Complaint against Nevada Businessman for Solid and Hazardous Waste Violations in Indian Country
Release Date: 05/24/2010
Contact Information: Cara Peck, firstname.lastname@example.com, 415-972-3382
SAN FRANCISCO - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is citing Gardnerville, Nevada, businessman Reed Skenandore with violating federal law governing the safe handling and disposal of solid and hazardous waste.
Skenandore operates an auto dismantling business and an un-permitted illegal waste disposal site that has resulted in open dumping and illegal disposal of hazardous waste over an 80-acre site. The facility is located in Indian Country located near Gardnerville, Nevada, in Douglas County.
The Skenandore auto dismantling and illegal waste disposal site not only contained waste from the on-site dismantling of automobiles, but also contained large quantities of waste accepted from off site. Wastes included abandoned automobiles, trailers, tires, car batteries, construction waste, used oil, used appliances, televisions and computer monitors, waste paint, and aerosol cans.
"Open dumping is a problem in Indian Country and other rural areas with limited access to solid waste management programs," said Jared Blumenfeld, EPA's Regional Administrator for the Pacific Southwest region. "When individuals choose to operate facilities that promote open dumping and the illegal disposal of hazardous waste, EPA will hold them accountable by vigorously enforcing federal laws to protect communities and the environment from harm."
Car batteries and television monitors are particularly hazardous, as they can release toxic lead into the environment if not managed and disposed of properly. Additionally, the facility did not properly manage automobile fluids and oil which can result in environmental contamination. Used oil must be properly contained, labeled, and sent off site for proper recycling.
There are more than 1,400 inventoried open dumps in Indian Country in the Pacific Southwest. With EPA assistance, tribes have closed or cleaned up more than 500 sites in the past three decades. EPA works closely with the Indian Health Service and tribes to identify sites for cleanup. EPA funding supports the development of tribal waste management programs as well as the cleanup and closure of open dump sites.
EPA's administrative complaint alleges that Reed Skenandore violated the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) by:
- · Open dumping of solid waste;
· Open burning of solid waste;
· Failing to notify EPA of its waste handling activity and to apply for an EPA identification number;
· Failing to label containers of used oil; and
· Failure to respond to releases of oil to the environment.
Under RCRA, EPA can assess a civil penalty of up to $37,500 per day, per violation.
