Now that Levi Aron has been found competent to stand trial in State Supreme Court in Brooklyn, the next step for his lawyers is to determine whether he was sane at the time of the crime he is accused of committing: kidnapping, killing and dismembering an 8-year-old Brooklyn boy, Leiby Kletzky.
Competency does not preclude an insanity defense, a potential strategy Mr. Aron's lawyers have said they may explore. It is also one of the rarest defense strategies used in felony cases — and rarer still to have success.
One of Mr. Aron's lawyers, Pierre Bazile, said the competency finding resulting from a psychological exam arranged by the court showed that his client understands the charges and the proceedings and can assist in his defense.
But the exam also showed he had some psychological disorders, Mr. Bazile said; Mr. Aron had been hearing voices telling him to kill himself for what he is accused of doing, according to documents recording his interviews with the police that where released upon his arraignment on Thursday.
It is now up to a team of psychological experts — chosen by the defense team — to examine Mr. Aron and recommend to Mr. Bazile and his colleague, Jennifer L. McCann, whether an insanity defense would apply.
The examinations could take "a couple of months," Ms. McCann said, speaking to reporters outside the courtroom in State Supreme Court in Brooklyn on Thursday after her client's arraignment.
New York law defines a "mental disease or defect" to mean that at the time of an offense, a person lacked the mental capacity to "know and appreciate" the consequences of his or her actions and whether those actions were wrong.
In a signed confession released as part of the documents disclosed on Thursday, Mr. Aron said that "maybe this is wrong," and he said he was sorry.
"He did show remorse, but it was a little odd," said Michele Galietta, the director of the clinical forensic doctoral program at John Jay College of Criminal Justice . "It shows oddness in thinking."
But does it show a psychological defect?
"It is extremely rare that lawyers use an insanity defense," said Deborah W. Denno, a professor at Fordham University's law school. "Less than 1 percent are filed. And when they are, they are rarely granted." Ms. Denno said that recent statistics showed that an insanity defense was successful only one-quarter of the time that it was employed in felony cases nationwide.
Ms. Galietta said that in most cases where an insanity defense is successful, experts from both sides agree that the defendant has a psychological defect. Typically, the two sides reach an agreement on what to do with the defendant before the case goes to trial.
The Brooklyn district attorney, Charles J. Hynes, said firmly on Thursday that there would be no plea deal and that Mr. Aron would be tried in court.
Ms. McCann, 30, who joined Mr. Aron's defense team shortly after one of his other lawyer's quit last month, is considered a rising star in this type of defense strategy. She represented Kathleen Prisco, a Long Island woman who stabbed her husband in 2009 and was found not guilty by reason of psychological defect.
One of the more recent cases involved Andrea Yates, a Texas mother who was convicted of drowning her five children in a bathtub in 2001. Her life sentence was overturned in 2007, when a jury found her not guilty by reason of insanity. Her lawyers claimed that the devil had convinced her that she would be saving her children by taking their lives.
Establishing a history of mental illness, Ms. Galietta said, usually assists in an insanity defense. Mr. Aron's lawyers would not discuss his medical history on Thursday.
Investigators, though, had looked into a potential pattern in Mr. Aron's life. In an interview with the police after his arrest, Mr. Aron was asked about another missing Brooklyn child, named Patrick Alford Jr., and he told them he had "never seen this child" and that if he knew what happened to him, he would tell them.
In some cases, Ms. Denno said, clients do not want the label of insanity and will ask their lawyers to avoid it.
Then again, Ms. Denno said, an insanity defense may be the only option in the case of Mr. Aron given the evidence against him.
"No other defense comes to mind," Ms. Denno said.

Cody Williams has lost the last two times he has fought on nationally televised Legacy Fighting Championship cards. The Beaumont native looks to improve on his 4-2 professional record when he tangles with fellow Texan Steve "Ocho" Peterson on Friday night, Sept. 14, at LFC 15 in Houston at the Arena Theatre. Williams' fight will be televised on AXS TV (formerly known as HDNet) beginning at 9 p.m.
Williams was originally slated to face Alan Nascimento, but the Brazilian was injured during training, so hence the change. The fight will now be at a catchweight of 140 pounds.
"The change kind of played into my favor," said Williams. "He's the same type of fighter than my original opponent with (the) same build. His Jiu Jitsu work is good, and has OK standup. Alan was a black belt in Jiu Jitsu from Brazil, so that carries some clout. Peterson is 'rumored' to be a blue belt in Jiu Jitsu. I'm not saying by any means this is an easier opponent, but it's not two completely different styles."
Williams is coming off a quick first-round KO victory over Todd Matarona on July 7 to win the IXFA bantamweight title (135 pounds). This will be his first pro fight at 140.
"My body feels unbelievably strong," said Williams. "I like the idea of fighting at 140 pounds. It's not that fact I get to gain the weight, but I don't have to spend two and half weeks of cutting off five pounds of muscle. Your body fights itself when you try to get rid of muscles and it takes a toll on the immune system, among other things. It's just a tough process, and I'm not having to go through that this time. When I walk into the cage the day after weigh-ins, I'll probably be 155 pounds."
Peterson, 22, and from McKinney (near Dallas), is 7-2 and has won five of his last six fights including a defeat of Matt Hobar at Legacy 13 on Aug. 17 with a first round TKO. Hobar's arm broke in the first round in a freak occurrence and he hit the ground in excruciating pain. Peterson then mocked Hobar with a "crybaby expression," which was frowned upon by the crowd.
"I've read some interviews and he's taken the bad guy approach," said Williams. "I welcome that. If he wants to be the bad guy, he needs to fight like the bad guy. I am going to fight like your worst enemy. They can put the devil across the cage from me, and it wouldn't matter. Honestly, I think he is scared. Psychology tells you that. It's your first reaction when you do something you're not. I knew eventually our paths would cross, but I am very excited about this fight."
Despite that his two losses were on television, there's no added pressure for this upcoming televised bout, Williams says.
"I know what it feels like to lose, and I don't want to experience that again," he said. "My two professional losses have both been televised national and maybe there was some pressure there to perform outside of the box. This is a great opportunity and best matchup for me. "
Texas Rage in the Cage
MMA fans who want to get up close and personal with the action can do so this Saturday, Sept. 15 at Texas Rage in the Cage 15 at the Beaumont Civic Center at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at all Ticketmaster locations for $40, $30 or $25.
Ten amateur cage fights are scheduled and more than half will see local boys in action including the main event, which pits Port Arthur native Joel Scott (4-1) vs. David Salazar (1-1) for the vacant featherweight (145-pound) title. Salazar, of Mission, is a last minute replacement for the injured Johnny Rodriguez.
Also on the card is Will Spidle (3-1) of Beaumont vs. Aaron Gomez (2-2). "Will is coming off his first loss, but we got a lot of positives out of that loss," said American Top Team-Beaumont trainer Mike Berryhill. "Will has put on muscle, gotten stronger and increased his cardio."
Also fighting from ATT-Beaumont will be Jeffrey Stockdale (0-0) vs. Rene Aguirre (0-0), and Martin Walker (2-6) vs. Jerry Stuart.
Stockdale, a graduate of West Brook, will step into the cage for the first time. "Jeffrey is a Marine," said Berryhill. "He comes in every day by showing up early and leaving late. He has a good wrestling background, so we have been working his standup and Jiu Jitsu. He has been through a lot in his life, and he wants to make a positive statement."
Walker will once again fight a new opponent on short notice. His last few scheduled fights were replacement fighters due to his original opponent being injured or failing to make weight.
"Martin is a pure fighter," added Berryhill. "He's done several grappling tournaments to improve different aspects of the fight game. He's super competitive, has a great mentality and strives to be better."
Jason Ebarb's Texas Punishment Crew, which trains Scott, will also be represented on the card.
Jake Loiacano (1-0) of Hamshire plans to remain undefeated when he steps into the cage against Diego Gutierrez (1-0) of Mission at 185 pounds.
Former Little Cypress-Mauriceville graduate Jonathan Wheeler (2-1) will take on Joel Pena (1-1) of McAllen.
Also on the card is "Bad" Chad Coggins of Buna. Coggins, who trains at Gladiator Pit, will take on newcomer Juan Gonzales of McAllen.

Olivier Martinez has confirmed he is engaged to Halle Berry.
The couple were rumoured to be tying the knot after the Oscar-winning actress was seen wearing an emerald and diamond ring on her ring finger in January.
Olivier's ex-girlfriend Kylie Minogue sparked further speculation when she tweeted her congratulations for the pair: "'Congrats to Olivier Martinez and Halle Berry!! #wedding."
While sources close to Halle denied an engagement, Olivier has now confirmed the news to the Miami Herald, saying: "Yes, of course it's true."
The 46-year-old actor revealed that the ring was designed by Parisian jewellery designer Robert Mazlo.
"He is a real artist, who has been making jewellery for kings and queens for many centuries," he added.
Halle, who has a three-year-old daughter with French-Canadian model Gabriel Aubry, met Olivier after they co-starred in 2010 action thriller Dark Tide, and their screen chemistry soon led to an off-screen romance.

Visions of Community in the Post-Roman World
This volume looks at 'visions of community' in a comparative perspective, from Late Antiquity to the dawning of the age of crusades. It addresses the question of why and how distinctive new political cultures developed after the disintegration of the Roman World, and to what degree their differences had already emerged in the first post-Roman centuries. The Latin West, Orthodox Byzantium and its Slavic periphery, and the Islamic world each retained different parts of the Graeco-Roman heritage, while introducing new elements. For instance, ethnicity became a legitimizing element of rulership in the West, remained a structural element of the imperial periphery in Byzantium, and contributed to the inner dynamic of Islamic states without becoming a resource of political integration. Similarly, the political role of religion also differed between the emerging post-Roman worlds. Anybody interested in the development of the post-Roman Mediterranean, but also in the relationship between the Islamic World and the West, will gain new insights from these studies on the political role of ethnicity and religion in the post-Roman Mediterranean.

Missouri Litter Laws
Robert J. Bevins, Stephen F. Matthews and Patrick B. Starke
Department of Agricultural Economics
Trash, litter, garbage, solid waste, refuse. No matter what you call it, trash is a nuisance when dumped onto our private or public land. Litter is not only an eyesore, but a health hazard. Garbage attracts diseases, provides a home for pests and serves as a breeding ground for their young.
This publication examines sanctions the county prosecuting attorney can take against those who litter on public or private land and roads or on their own property. It also explains procedures to follow if you see someone litter.
Criminal sanctions
The following three Missouri statutes make littering a criminal offense. In addition, municipal or county ordinances may prohibit littering, although most Missouri counties do not have ordinance-making powers. Check with your city attorney or county prosecutor to see if municipal or county ordinances also prohibit littering.
Solid Waste Disposal Act (1972)
In 1972, the Missouri Legislature passed a law regulating the disposal of solid wastes. If you want to read the law yourself, you can find a copy of the Missouri Statutes in local libraries, law schools, county courthouses or law offices. Look at sections 260.200 - 260.245.
The Solid Waste Disposal Act has three primary purposes:
- To prevent the creation of public nuisances.
- To reduce the spread of disease.
- To reduce the spoiling of the environment.
The law prohibits the accumulation and unmanaged disposal of garbage. refuse and filth. It also regulates the operations of garbage collection facilities and services.
Under the 1972 law, no one may dump waste material in any place except a licensed solid-waste disposal area, unless one of the following two exceptions apply. The law does not apply to someone who:
- Dumps his own solid waste on his own property.
- Uses solid wastes in his normal farming operations.
However, these exceptions apply only so long as they do not create a public nuisance or threaten the public health.
Thus, unless your land is a licensed solid waste disposal area, someone who dumps solid waste on your land violates this law. Be aware that you may violate this law by permitting another person to dump solid waste on your land, unless it is part of your normal farming operation.
Punishment for violations may be harsh. The county prosecuting attorney may be able to get a court order requiring that the garbage be removed. Additionally, violators may face fines of up to $100 per day until the garbage is removed.
Litter Laws (1979)
This law makes it a crime to throw rubbish of any kind onto:
- Any land or waters owned by the state or federal government.
- The private property of another without his or her consent.
If you have the owner's consent. you will not violate this statute if you throw garbage onto his land. However, you probably would be violating the Solid Waste Disposal Act unless the land is a licensed solid waste disposal facility.
Littering is a Class A misdemeanor under the criminal code of Missouri, so anyone convicted of littering may be imprisoned in the county jail for up to one year and/or fined up to $1,000.
County Option Dumping Ground Law
The county court of each county may choose to use the dumping ground law. The law is not mandatory for every county, but after a county opts for this law, individuals who want to operate a dumping ground must apply to the county court for a license. The county court then forwards the application to the state Division of Health. The applicant gets a permit if the Division of Health and the county court approve the application. Licenses are good for one year and may be renewed.
After this law is in effect in a county, no one may dump refuse, rubbish or garbage anywhere except a disposal area. Violators of this law may be fined up to $1,000 and/or imprisoned for up to one year in the county jail. However, even if your county has not adopted this option, dumping may violate the litter laws or the Solid Waste Disposal Act.
Civil sanctions against littering
In addition to the criminal sanctions listed previously, you may have certain civil remedies against someone who dumps refuse on your land. You may sue for any damages to your property on the legal grounds of trespass to land (by the garbage someone leaves on your land). Remember this is a remedy you have in addition to the criminal sanctions already mentioned.
You also may have certain civil remedies against persons who dump on land adjacent to yours. You may be able to stop the owner of adjacent land from dumping on her or his property if you can prove the dumping creates a public nuisance or threatens public health.
If someone other than the owner is dumping on adjacent land, you may be able to have the situation declared a nuisance and force the owner (or the dumper) to clean up the area.
Last, if a city owns property that is covered with garbage, you can force the governmental unit responsible for keeping the area clean to police the area. Consult your attorney for the exact legal procedures for these situations.
Some practical considerations
Few official complaints
The enforcement of the various litter laws is slowed by several practical problems. First of all, few official complaints are ever made. Obviously, unless the proper authorities are notified of violations, proper enforcement of these laws is impossible. Many people are not convinced that littering is a serious enough offense to warrant punishing the offender. Even when litterers have been arrested and convicted, their punishment generally has been light. Littering will be difficult to stop until we recognize it as a serious problem.
If you want to report possible littering offenses, contact the sheriff, the highway patrol or a conservation agent. (Conservation agents can usually deal only with violations that occur on public land.) Or you can report the violation directly to the county prosecutor's office.
Identifying the litterer
Another practical problem in enforcing litter laws is identifying the litterer. Occasionally, you may catch someone dumping garbage. Remember that throwing garbage out the car window is a violation as well as dumping a whole truckload of rubbish. If you do see someone littering, get the following information:
- Description of vehicle.
- License number of vehicle.
- Location.
- Description of offender(s).
Give this information to the authorities when you file your complaint.
A private citizen can technically make an arrest if he or she sees someone littering. However, citizen's arrests usually lead to problems. If you should decide to make a citizen's arrest, don't even consider using any force at all unless you are absolutely sure the person committed the crime. Even then the use of force may be inadvisable, since the person you arrest may be able to sue you if you are wrong about his guilt or if you use excessive force. As a result, few law enforcement officers recommend a citizen's arrest.
Usually, no one sees the illegal dumping. A farmer, while checking her fences, discovers a pile of garbage someone has dumped on her land. A businessman comes home to find that someone has stacked garbage by his disposal cans. Travelers notice garbage alongside a public highway.
It is difficult to figure out who dumped the garbage unless someone saw it happen. If you do find garbage that was illegally dumped, check for envelopes or other papers that might indicate who owned it. The police can take fingerprints from items in the garbage. However, most police laboratories spend their limited resources and time on more serious offenses. Fingerprinting and other scientific techniques are generally not used until the littering has become a serious problem.
If the source of the garbage can be identified, law enforcement authorities will contact him and tell him to clean up the trash. Prosecutors usually send out "litter letters," which inform the offender that his trash was found on someone else's property (public or private property). The letter also says if he cleans up the trash, he won't be prosecuted for littering.
In the vast majority of cases (but not all), the owner of the garbage will clean it up in response to a litter letter. But if the county attorney prosecutes the garbage owner for littering, the county attorney must prove the owner was the one who actually dumped the trash. If an eyewitness can testify that it was the owner who dumped the trash, then the prosecutor's case is simplified considerably. If there are no eyewitnesses, the prosecutor may have a hard time proving the offense. Consequently, the litterer may go unpunished and the landowner is stuck with the job of cleaning up the trash.
There are criminal and civil remedies to stop littering, but both require reliable evidence. Contact local authorities such as the sheriff or the prosecuting attorney to help you collect the necessary evidence to punish litterers. Trash is an unfortunate consequence of modern living. But trash does not have to spoil our environment or threaten our public health. Responsible citizens and easily accessible public dumping grounds can eliminate the littering problem.

Screen Shot of boot logo
The CD boots with a ASCII text logo & menu with choices accessed using the Function keys. I hit enter to have it load automatically & it loaded the kernel and I noticed it using a initrd to load the kernel modules. It detected the CDRW/DVD, HD, and ethernet network.
Screenshot of boot process
From the screen shot we can see that it loaded USB kernel drivers, ALSA driver for onboard sound, ALSA driver for the pro sound card, firewire IEEE1394, and also detected my video card. It backgrounded the DHCP request, started exim as a MTA for email routing, loaded additional IEEE1394 hardware drivers, launched opensshd in the background and started CUPSd.
Next, it began to run the X Window System, but it failed to run with the error:
(EE) No devices detected
Fatal server error:
No screens found
Screenshot of X Failed
Next it displayed a message that X will run using the framebuffer (fbdev) driver and it mentioned that I would be limited to 800x600x16bit. It started up with Window Maker as the window manager, displayed a splash screen & it played a "boot-up" type sound which I later found located at /usr/share/dynebolic/dixan-splashjingle.ogg. The dyne:bolic desktop is running the Window Maker dock and GKrellM. The dock has HD icons and a USB logo icon. Clicking on the first HD icons opens up Xfe (a GUI file manager similar to windows explorer) and is viewing /vol/hd1 which I discovered is my Windows XP C: partition. The USB logo opens up Xfe to the root / of the filesystem. Some exploring in Xfe shows me that my $home directory is /home and that it has mounted all the partitions under /vol. and and is and is monitoring date & time, CPU, Memory, Disk, and eth0 (ethernet) access.
Screenshot of X Started
The splash screen functions as both a welcome screen and as an informative overview to running dyne:bolic. The "Getting started" tab mentioned that it had mounted the local partitions in /vol, the /home directory is mounted in a RAM filesystem, and that samba is sharing the /home/shared directory with both read and write permissions. Just like the splash screen suggested, I right clicked on the desktop & out popped a menu. The menu is arranged similar to more common GUI program menus such as ones found in MS Windows, KDE, or GNOME. The splash screen is the first entry in the menu and is named "VERSION 1.2" while an X-term is a handy second entry. I opened the X-term and ran # free -mt and it showed that it was using a swap partition. It seems that the boot up process discovered the swap partition from my Gentoo install and it was activated for usage.
Since I am not much a fan of the default desktop background and the color scheme with it's red windows frames, I choose APPEARANCE, THEMES, Checker. I discovered that I disliked my new choice even more than the default so instead I chose DyneBaby. I then went to APPEARANCE, STYLES, BlueDawn and found that I had made a great first choice.

Independent Living Condo's
Dear HOA Member – I have been communicating with your HOA President, Matt . My property borders your community on the west, and is currently zoned O-1 for office development up to three (3) stories. In 2006 you assisted in my rezoning efforts to allow the development of an assisted living center and memory care facility on a portion of my property. This project has been well received in the market, and has been a good neighbor for your community. If you recall, the original grading plan for my property included removing all the trees bordering your community. At your request, I redesigned my grading plan and saved some trees in hopes of spreading good will for your support when I needed Canyon Estates again. So here we go… Another senior community is currently under contract to acquire a portion of my property, and we will similarly need your assistance to rezone an approximate 5 acre parcel. This new community will provide an independent living option for spouses of residents in the Stonefield Assisted Living & Memory Care Center, as well as active adults that are age 55 and older. I have attached a preliminary site plan along with the proposed building elevation for your review. This community will operate independently from the existing assisted living facility, however, there will be shared services and synergies between these projects. This style of product is classified as Multi Family because there are more than 3 units per lot. It will be very helpful if we are able to show your support to the Planning and Zoning Commission for the following project: · 34 single-story villa units, · Age restricted to residents 55 years and older, · all villas contain 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, and · each villa has an attached garage. I ask that you reply to this email with your name and address along with a statement of your SUPPORT for the above project. Thanks for your support~

Hurry up and wait was a popular G.I. expression during World War II. Now it applies to members of Club Pride, a geriatric psycho-social center in Douglaston.
Since its launch 18 years ago, Club Pride has provided daily bus service to members in the Flushing and Bayside areas, but our Flushing bus service, operated by the Samuel Field Y in Queens, was halted in December due to budget cuts.
We are now left with just one van holding only ten people. As a result, daily attendance has declined and those who can attend spend half the time they used to. This could cause serious health consequences.
All members are referred to Club Pride by psychiatrists and social workers at psychiatric and chronic care hospitals. This is their only daily social activity.
Without it, many will stop recovering and will likely be re-institutionalized at taxpayers' expense.
Many of our members are physically disabled and can't use public transportation. Nor can they afford Access-A-Ride's $5 daily roundtrip fare, if they can qualify for this service.
We've sought help from several sources, with zero results.
Mayor Bill de Blasio campaigned on the theme of "a tale of two cities" and
promised to create more jobs. He's already created one - a $170,000
a year post for his wife's chief of staff, even though New York City's first
lady doesn't have a real job.
Maybe he can divert some of that salary to fund transportation for some desperate constituents. Come on Mayor Bill, show us which city you really reside in.

I can understand where your coming from, its seems hyouka got a subforum pretty easily so why not Accel World? Though I don't know the process behind it so I won't jump to conclusions on that. You did make me check to see if there was an update on BT and wouldn't you know it, chapter 9 is up so I thank you.

Finally cacht you people!!, read the from page 1 has been nice to known many details, even i manage to get few rwas vols, its almost impossible to read katakana and almost impossible to remember kanji, try learning but still need months or even years!!.
Well, like a lot AW, curios about SAO, wich btw will airing anime, far i see next AW anime will be an special one, so this season looks to be suspended on 5th Chrome Disaster, nice read on Baka Tsuki and the few spoilers give some peace, you know its not easy know its 11 vols and you only have access to 2 and half but time to time and thanks the people can spoiler us or give translation worck.
@I ready see some people of DxD forum: Hi everybody, or even other ones outside animesuki.
As for AW, uhhmm, well from start looks to me like Matrix without "wiring", many base concepts seems to follow and I like it the path choose by Kawahara Sensei, my only complain could "personal feelings" of the caracters, to me see in emotios like jealousy, caring, empathy, others, make more deeper the caracter and I bought much better the whole worck, somebody ready saying we need to remember its kids we talking about, but c mon!!, I kind of older and even me remember haver "girlfriend" or hook with special one in primary, much more and specially on Junior high or high school, even trying to remember i was more depressed about not getting girlfriend issue in junior high than high school, so, Haru should be in that age, doenst matter if you are fat, slim, small, childish look, we feel apart from the rest, mostly of the girls only have eyes for the phisical atletes, thats why I can understand Haru and someway remember my backstory, I was slim and small, took till high school to made bump grown, but the first time i got one of the popular girl of the junior (well, to be honest, she picks me) i was bitter happy, cuz i couldnt believe such luck and always wait for the worse, that the way and why my first "seroius" girlfriend broke with me: cuz the unthrust from myself to her, not cuz i saying or claim jealuos, just with eyes looks many girls know what you have in mind.
So, I can understand Haru and probably its the reason i follow DxD and dont like to know about anime, manga or LN which doenst have this line, i like happy endings, for deceptions or other stuff we in latin america have the soap opera novels (yes, i dont look at). Bully kids whom take worse way revenge its a serius issue, Haru himself like "to play massive killings" of the guys whom bully him or the class, so I think the author could reach made more "real person" caracter and give the chance to Haru to get over, find his balls and respond to a girl or 2, ready confess to him, far i see and looks to me: he is in love with KYH, but all that was frozen, on anime version (baka tsuki still not reach that part) on the hospital he promise to tell her about ...
I feel like many here, Kawahara Sensei need to go there too.

Reading @Cnine spoiler V5, really notice Hary selfsteem is deeply low, when KYH ask him to run out for Junior Hugh President, something like, "If I win the Supreme Court will made a recall for elections", the question will be, if its ok: Haru on Vol 11 still stuck that low??, can even Taku as best friend trying to pull out??, I mean, I really think far I see only KYH and Chiyu trying to give him more confidence, but as KYH notice, Haru not believe her, ironically he set "date scenario" in VR meeting, I think somebody will need to snap him hardly, or KYH need to "return the fight favor" he did with her when she was depress cuz Sky Raker in order maybe fist fight could convince him she really mean her feelings or a "sensei caracter could talk harsh to him and say things like: "look, theres people with problems than yours, at least your base problem could solve someway ease with more determination and selfthrust".
At least its my point of view, wish could type Jap to send email or letter to the author, uhhmm, need to do something.
Well, please if somebody have more vols summaries or detail spoilers links i will appreciatte.
@Khaos, @Hayate Sama and some others I could remember now (sorry about): thanks.

I just read SAO Alicization SS about UW being accelerated to 10000 and just wondered about what Taku said in Vol. 2.
He said he dived for three days and afterwards couldn't remember what he wanted to do, does it mean he dived three days in game time or three days in real life

I think its refer to BB time line zone, its like fighting on unlimited burst zone, its said you have 1 hour penalty and late back where you died, if Taku did and pick up Black Lotus to meet Haru after Chrome Disaster defeat on vol 2, it implies 1 hr from UB time line, otherwise, on "real world time line", Crown Silver, Scarlet Rain and Black Lotus should have wait days b4r seen again Cyan Pile on UB.

Compared to that one, mine would be lower than redshirts...
Just read through the thread and spoiled myself big time...but it's okay.
I see there's still a lot of amazing things to happen in AW...and if it gets animated, it'll be quite promising
Also, taking into account Duel Avatar color names, it seems the author either neglected or has avoided the use of gemstones/precious minerals/etc into their names.
On the other hand, the participants of the design contest didn't hesitate, making DAs with "Jade", "Emerald" and "Amber" in their names.
Makes me wonder if they fit into a different category, like Metal colors

The Lexington Police Department has arrested two men they allege were involved in the robbery of a woman's purse early Saturday morning as she was leaving High Rock Outfitters on South Main Street.
The Lexington Police Department has arrested two men they allege were involved in the robbery of a woman's purse early Saturday morning as she was leaving High Rock Outfitters on South Main Street.
Landis Justin Brown, 26, of 610 Burgess St., and Lorenzo Montez Bush, 30, of 818 Frank Hulin Road, have each been charged with common law robbery, assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury and first-degree kidnapping. Brown also has been charged with obtaining property by false pretense, and Bush also has been charged with aid and abet obtaining property by false pretense. Brown was in the Davidson County Detention Center on Wednesday under a $250,000 secured bond and Bush a $500,000 secured bond.
The crime was reported to the Davidson County 911 Center at 12:26 a.m. Saturday. Two men robbed the woman of her purse, which contained her keys, iPhone 5, medication, an identification card and credit cards, according to a police report. The woman suffered nonlife-threatening injuries and was not transported from the scene by Davidson County EMS.
The robbery occurred on East First Avenue. Rummage said earlier this week that the woman was trying to walk from High Rock Outfitters on South Main Street to her vehicle when she was physically assaulted by the suspects. The captain said Wednesday that a female friend of the victim was present when the incident occurred but was not injured. After the victim was assaulted, she returned to the club, and the incident was reported to authorities.
Officers canvassed the area and located a video of the incident from a business.
An arrest warrant stated Brown used a credit card obtained from the woman to purchase clothing items and an infant seat from Walmart. He also is accused of kidnapping the woman and assaulting her with a motor vehicle. Rummage said the men ran over the woman's leg when they were leaving the scene in a vehicle.
A news release from the LPD stated the men physically assaulted the woman while taking her purse and drug her across the street. Rummage said Bush was charged with aid and abet obtaining property by false pretense because he was with Brown when the items were purchased at the Walmart in Lexington.
Bush has a court date of Jan. 6 and Brown a court date of Monday.

AirPlay Mirroring Looks Great if Your Network Is Pretty Enough
Aug 7, 2012 5:00 AM PT
OS X Mountain Lion is crawling with tweaks, new functions and improvements, but for the most part, they're minor adjustments that smooth out the general user experience. One new feature that does stand out, though, is AirPlay mirroring. It can be used to wirelessly connect your Mac with a television. Set it up correctly, and that TV is showing whatever is on your Mac's screen. It's like a wire-free version of an HDMI adapter, and its range is limited only by your wireless network.
The process takes plenty of gear, though. You'll need a decent WiFi router as well as an Apple TV. And the actual TV, of course. Also, your Mac has to be a 2011 model or newer due to requirements placed on the device's graphics chipset.
If you happen to have all of that, you're ready to go. What to use it for? Presentations, entertainment, possibly gaming, or any instance in which having a bunch of people crowd around the Mac's screen would be uncomfortable.
That's Entertainment
Mirroring adds a new degree of versatility to an Apple TV. By itself, Apple TV is not a universal media monster. It does iTunes, of course, along with Netflix, if you're a subscriber. It just snapped up Hulu. It might even buddy up with Amazon Prime, considering that service just hit iPad. There's YouTube, there are some sports-related channels, etc.
It doesn't do everything, though. For example, HBOGo is a brilliant service, but you can't get it directly through Apple TV. Also, Hulu Plus users sometimes get hit with a most unwelcome message when they bring up a show they want to watch -- something like "Sorry, you can't do that on television. You're going to have to watch this on your computer instead." Normally my reaction to that is to schlep the laptop into the living room, hook it up to the TV with an HDMI adaptor, play the show, and send a photo of myself doing it to Jason Kilar while making my best I-am-utterly-ashamed-of-what-I'm-doing face.
But that schlepping, it's so ... untidy. And my MacBook's battery won't last forever. Soon enough I'll have to dig the power cord out from under the desk and fight through that rat nest that's somehow developed behind the TV to find an outlet.
This is one shortcoming that Airplay mirroring will theoretically eliminate. If you can get content on your Mac, you can see it on your TV, and almost all online video is available via a browser or a player on a personal computer. Set-top boxes, tablets and smart TVs have restrictions here and there, but a basic computer is the common denominator with which just about all online video will play nicely. Make that computer's screen project to your TV, and your online viewing options are free from cumbersome this-screen-not-that-screen complications.
Finding the On Switch
Those who have Mountain Lion have probably noticed a few changes made to the upper menu bar. One is a rectangular box with a triangle at the bottom. Click that and you'll get a set of display options. Through here, you can turn AirPlay mirroring on, select the Apple TV as the receiver, and decide whether to use the Mac screen's size or the TV screen's size as the common aspect ratio. All you need to do with the Apple TV is have it turned on and waiting at the main menu screen.
That's how it's supposed to work, anyway. In my first few attempts, jumping into AirPlay mode didn't work if I did it through that menu bar icon. I'd have to go through System Preferences in the Dock, then to the Displays section.
Once you have it set, though, there it is -- your Mac's screen on the TV, no wires required. The image is mirrored on the Mac's local display as well, but the sound is sent directly to the Apple TV, not the Mac's speakers. There is some noticeable lag in regard to the trackpad and keyboard input. It isn't too bothersome if you're trying to track down a video on the Web or go through a Keynote presentation, but fast-paced action games are probably out of the question.
Mileage May Vary
While the interface used to kick off mirroring is simple and easy to figure out, your personal networking situation may be more likely to cause you problems. Slinging around signals the way mirroring does has the potential to create some big WiFi traffic jams.
Perhaps you have a pricey, heavy-duty WiFi system made for trucking industrial-sized data payloads all over the house. With that, you stand a good chance of pulling off a completely wireless setup with no issues.
But if you have a mid-line or cheap router, you might need to rethink your entire home setup in order to reduce the amount of data traveling over the air. Maybe you'll need to hook the Apple TV directly into the router via Ethernet cable. If your router is located too far away for that, maybe your Mac will need to have a wired connection. That's the solution I tried, and it actually sounded like the most convenient option -- the Mac stays at my desk, hooked up to an Ethernet cord, not to mention constant power. No schlepping there.
However, then you run into the issue of control. You'll need a mouse to control the Mac, even if it is four rooms away, but Bluetooth might not reach that far. It would be silly to walk to the other side of the house to hit the pause button. If you have an iPhone or iPad, consider the Mobile Mouse Pro app, which turns your phone into a keyboard and mouse for a Mac or PC. It uses WiFi to communicate with the computer, solving the range problem.
If wiring neither the Mac nor the Apple TV to the router is an option, and you don't want to spring for a top-of-the-line WiFi hub, there may be another way. Some middle-of-the-road WiFi routers are dual-banded. Try assigning the Apple TV to one band and the Mac to the other. This might eliminate much of the congestion caused by routing everything through a single channel. You may still see some jerkiness, but after setting up an unwired connection this way, I was able to make it through an entire movie with only two or three screen freezes, which lasted only a few seconds.
Bottom Line
Mountain Lion's interface for activating AirPlay mirroring is simple to figure out, and almost nothing has to be done on the Apple TV side to kick things off.
But once it's running, performance depends greatly on your own personal home network setup. If you have the kind of equipment ready to take on some major WiFi traffic, or your home is arranged for easy Ethernet access, you're in business. Otherwise, you'll need to weigh whether spending time and money to fix the issue is worth it for a function that does essentially the same thing as a $4 adapter.

Break out the raid to individual disks and add an eSATA 7200 RPM disk. Tune the system and get rid of the bunch of crap that most laptops come with.

As Harm pointed out it is not good to use system disk for editing.
If you have possibility to tweak your laptop, it will work much better.
I have almost the same laptop except with GTX570M display adapter.
Here is a thread couple months ago:
After that I took away optical drive and bought HDD Caddy from Newmodeus.com and installed another WD Caviar Black 750G.
So now I have 120 G SSD as system disk and two 750G disk striped together as data and project disk.
Project disk's speed is now 225 Mbytes/s read and write
If I need optical drive I use external.
120 G system disk is a little too small because I'd like to keep the old version of Adobe Production suite with CS6.
You can also use USB3 and eSATA external drives.
If you can have two or more disks in an external box it is of course better.
Have you "hacked" your GTX560M?
3. Re: slow laggy playback on PremiereJohn T Smith Apr 29, 2012 7:45 AM (in response to Antosia11)
Even in raid, only one "effective" hard drive is not going to work very well... here is why...
Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
Partition = Crash http://forums.adobe.com/thread/957286
I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND external hard drive brand & model) AND the type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for SD (Standard Definition) video editing
Steve Grisetti in the Premiere Elements forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856208 and Jim Simon in the Premiere Pro forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856433 use USB externals for editing
A USB3 hard drive connected to a motherboard with USB3 is supposed to be fast enough for video editing (I don't have such, so don't know) but eSata DOES have a fast enough data transfer for video editing... I have not used the eSata Dock below... for reference only, YMMV and all the usual disclaimers

4. Re: slow laggy playback on PremiereAntosia11 Apr 29, 2012 11:47 AM (in response to John T Smith)
Ok I will
1) try to figure out how to break raid 0 onto individual disks
2) find out if I can use my HP SimpleSave Desktop dt1000i 1 TB External Hard Drive as my third harddrive
Also, YES I have hacked my 560 graphics card, the yellow line is there indicating I have Mercury Playback
It was my understanding that I had 2 harddrives, are you saying I only have one that is partitioned?
I have a OS_Install (C:) Drive (552GB) and a Data (D:) Drive 368GB
If I have two, I'll try to incorporate my external as a third...
Thanks Harm, pejaka and John for your help, I hope I am understanding this correctly Off I go....
5. Re: slow laggy playback on PremiereHarm Millaard Apr 29, 2012 12:18 PM (in response to Antosia11)1 person found this helpful
From a hardware point of view, you have:
2 HDD's configured as a single disk for Windows by raiding it into a single volume, aggravated by your solution to partition this volume into two separate volumes.
NEVER partition disks. Do not stripe raid your OS disk. Only stripe disks where it does not matter if you lose all data, where you can say, 'so what, I don't care'. Most people will say that they hate, and I mean really hate to reinstall the OS from scratch, tune it again, get new activation codes for their software, run out of activation codes and have to request new ones (your request will be answered in a couple of weeks...) and similar.
Basically you need four disks (at least from Windows look at it), of which three are 7200 RPM fast disks and a backup disk. 1 for OS/programs, 1 for pagefile/scratch and 1 for projects/media and the last one for backups. That is the practical minimum, but more are welcome.

Kinston's Evan Hood kicks game winner.
LA GRANGE�On one sideline, disbelief turned to delight in a span of a couple of minutes. Across the field, it was another case of d�j� vu and disappointment.
Kinston�s Evan Hood netted the game-winner in stoppage time, just after North Lenoir registered the equalizer on a penalty kick in the 78th minute, and the Vikings outlasted the Hawks 2-1 in the Eastern Carolina 2A Conference soccer opener for both schools Monday at Bullock Field.
Hood�s goal was his third, and most important, of the season. As North Lenoir (0-5-2, 0-1) tried to clear from its own end, the ball ended up centered on Hood�s powerful right foot about 25 yards away.
The senior defender wasted no time. Before the Hawk defense could react, Hood blasted a shot that curled neatly into the top left corner, just beyond the outstretched hands of NL goalkeeper Jacob Baird.
Forty seconds later the referee signaled time and the Vikings (5-3-1, 1-0) had escaped with a hard-fought, unlikely victory, on a day in which they were thoroughly outplayed.
�Evan kicks the ball with such authority that we encourage him to shoot anytime he�s close,� Kinston coach Joseph Romig said. �He got the ball where we wanted with a clear look at the net and he came through with a huge, clutch goal.�
Two minutes prior to Hood�s game-decider, Romig was beside himself after NL�s Eric Holloway was taken down by a sliding tackle in the penalty box.
�The officials have a job to do, and I don�t know if they made the right call or not, but that was a tough call to have go against us with two minutes left,� Romig said. �Fortunately, Evan�s goal provided a little karma.�
After the penalty, NL�s Michael Bednarz lined up and squeezed the penalty kick past Kinston goalie Matthew Burwell, who got a gloved hand on the ball but was unable to stop it from dribbling into the goal.
Bednarz�s score culminated a day in which the Hawks dictated play at both ends of the pitch but still came up short.
�It�s frustrating,� said NL coach Donnell Garris, whose team has been competitive in every game but one, including a 1-1 tie at powerful Wilson Fike last week. �We�ve been close several times but we just can�t seem to make the one big play when we need to. We controlled this game from start to finish but couldn�t take advantage of our opportunities.�
North Lenoir outshot Kinston 10-6, but wasted a half-dozen other legitimate scoring chances. Several attempts sailed wide or high, but Kinston keeper Burwell also distinguished himself with a handful of dazzling saves.
The highlight came in the 73rd minute when he stuffed NL�s Nicholas Kennedy point blank, and then hustled to recover the rebound just before Bednarz could reach it with an open net staring him in the face.
�Both keepers were outstanding,� Romig said. �Matt�s effort there at the end was remarkable. (North Lenoir) beat us all over the field, but Matt kept his cool even though he was under constant pressure.�
Hawks goalie Baird wasn�t challenged as often as Burwell but still delivered a fine performance with four saves, including a diving stop of a shot by Kinston�s Rigo Santiago that was deflected toward the goal in the 35th minute.
In the 38th minute of a first half that North Lenoir dominated completely, the Vikings finally broke through on a superb corner kick by Kinston�s Robert Blake that found Ryan Harrell near the far post. Harrell�s header gave the Vikings a 1-0 lead that held up until Bednarz�s penalty kick.
�The guys did everything I asked except win the game,� Garris said. �We�re a young team and we�re still learning, but I think we�re close to putting it all together. We didn�t make a lot of mistakes, but Kinston deserves credit for making us pay when he did make them.�
Kinston returns to action Wednesday when it hosts Goldsboro in a 6 p.m. league match. North Lenoir travels to Greene Central that same day for a 4:30 contest.

on one hand, the thought of four months of winter without the Portland farmers markets is depressing. on the other hand, blah blah blah, it's Portland, where there's year-round local produce available elsewhere, and the year-round People's Coop farmers market. so, no lack of vegetable-induced seasonal depression for me.
my favorite weekday market has closed for the year, which brought me out to greatest one of all – the Saturday Farmers Market at PSU. the cooler weather beckoned hundreds of columbia sportswear jackets, walking room!, potatoes and chestnuts! me and my as yet un-named new camera went out for vegetables and dried beans last weekend…
the end of days for peppers…
I picked up cayenne, jalapeno and bell peppers.
oh northwest, I love you and your fancy, wild mushrooms.
Firstly, Viridian Farms always has fantastic produce.
Secondly, I cooked these tolosana black beans (soaked and then cooked in chickn style vegetable broth with fresh herbs and shallots) and again, fantastic. They're a hearty, delicious black bean and super satisfying in a grain/greens/sauce bowl. aka what I could live on.
Warm samples at a farm stand. vegan!
fresh potatoes blow my mind with flavor.
and this brings me back to my regret of not buying pounds of mushrooms.
till next time…

FHA Streamline Refinance in Your City, Your State
With today's historic low interest rates, many homeowners in Your City, Your State are thinking of refinancing.
For those with FHA-backed loans, there's a program that makes it easy. It's the FHA Streamline Refinance option.
A Streamline Refinance gives FHA borrowers the opportunity to lower their interest rates and their monthly payments-and save time and hassle while doing it.
For borrowers with adjustable rate mortgages, a Streamline Refinance can offer the safety and stability of a fixed-rate loan.
With a standard Streamline Refinance you can bypass a lot of the paperwork normally required for a new loan. For instance:
- The lender isn't required to order a credit report.
- There's no need to verify your employment.
- You won't need an appraisal. (Your FHA lender in Your City, Your State may ask for an appraisal, but FHA doesn't require it. And if an appraisal is ordered but the result doesn't suit your needs, your lender can ignore it!)
So How Can I Qualify for an FHA Streamline Refinance?
- Your mortgage must already be FHA-insured.
- Your mortgage payments must be current.
- Your new loan must lower your monthly principal and interest payments, or be converting from an adjustable rate (ARM) to a fixed-rate.
- The home must be your primary residence.
- Your current loan must be at least seven months old (six months since your first payment due date).
What About Taking Cash Out?
The Streamline Refinance program doesn't allow you to take cash out, except for "minor adjustments at closing" up to $500. But there are other FHA refinance programs that include a cash-out option in Your City, Your State.
What If I Don't Qualify for a Streamline Refinance?
There are certain circumstances that could make you ineligible for a standard Streamline Refinance-for instance, if you just moved to the property and assumed the loan from the previous owner.
Fortunately, FHA has taken such circumstances into account, and offers a modified version of the program called a credit qualifying streamline refinance.
With this option you'll need to provide some of the paperwork that's common with a new loan: credit reports, documentation of your income, and calculation of your debt-to-income ratio. But it's still an attractive alternative to a normal refinance.
A credit qualifying streamline refinance can also be a good option if your new loan will result in an increased monthly payment.
Even a non-streamline FHA refinance will typically be easier to qualify for than a conventional private refinance. You may qualify if you have credit score of at least 620 and no more than two 30-day late payments in the previous two years. Qualified borrowers in Your City, Your State will also have two years of steady employment with an income that has either remained constant or increased. And you should not have filed bankruptcy within the past two years. Your new mortgage payment should be no more than 30 percent of your monthly gross (before tax) income.
More Advantages to an FHA Refinance in Your City, Your State
We've mentioned the cash-out option that is available with some FHA refinance loans. And there are more benefits of an FHA refinance that could apply to you:
- People who own their homes outright can borrow up to 85 percent of their property's value with easy qualifications.
- FHA will allow you to refinance up to 96.5 percent of your property's value. This is ideal for those who still owe a good portion of their existing mortgage.
- Credit and income qualifications are minimal-you can get an FHA refinance at competitive rates with only a 620 credit score.
- You can get an FHA refinance even with bankruptcies on your record as long as they're more than two years old.
- A foreclosure won't disqualify you from an FHA refinance as long as it happened at least three years prior.
With all these benefits, it makes sense to explore the possibilities of an FHA refinance-especially now, while interest rates are low.
Interest rates in Your City, Your State are at historic lows! Find out if you're eligible for an FHA Streamline Refinance today!

Astronomers like Andrew Fraknoi are following the comet as it scrapes past the sun, where it could be destroyed—or emerge, even more spectacular than before.

Credit Hours: (3-12)
Note(s): Grading will be on A-F basis. No more than 3 credit hours may be applied toward the requirements for the major.
Offers an opportunity through experiential learning to apply Philosophy skills in a career-oriented atmosphere. The internship consists of a one or two semester placement with a business, governmental agency, or service organization interested in utilizing a philosophy background and critical and analytic thinking skills, research and writing skills, and knowledge of issues addressed in the study of philosophy.
Detailed Description of Content of Course
Each proposal for an internship must include a description of the course's content. That description should detail the experiences and the experiential learning that will be central features of the internship, the nature and purposes of associated reading and/or writing assignments, and the nature and purposes of any associated projects that will be a part of the internship.
Detailed Description of Conduct of Course
A formal internship will be arranged by the Office of Experiential Learning, the Philosophy and Religious Studies Department, the Office of Material Management, and responsible persons in a cooperating organization. Interns may be paid or not paid.
Students must have an understanding of and meet all qualifications set by the university and the internship agency regarding contractual agreements and obligations contained in the Student Internship Agreement and signed by appropriate university and internship agency representatives and the student. Students must meet all qualifications of the participating agency such as age, citizenship, physical condition, employment tests, and dress and conduct codes. Student applicants must be interviewed and accepted for the internship by both the employing agency and the faculty supervisor.
The agency supervisor provides on-the-job instruction and guidance and regular evaluations of the intern's work. The faculty supervisor follows up on each intern, closely checking on training and experience obtained at work, and serving as a mediator to resolve any problems that may arise during the internship. Evaluations of progress will occur at regular intervals throughout the internship. The faculty supervisor and the student will determine specific requirements for the course, but the student will be expected to behave like an employee of the agency. S/he will be evaluated based on conduct such as attendance, quantity and quality of work performed, and ability to cooperate with others in the agency.
Students may enroll for internship credit ranging from a minimum of 3 credit hours to a maximum of 12 credit hours. Only 3 credit hours may be used toward the requirements for the major. Students are expected to work at least 120 hours for each 3 hours of academic credit. The internship may require more than minimal hours. Students who are working or have been working in either a full-time or part-time position in an agency may not enroll as an intern in that same function.
Goals and Objectives of the Course
The goal of this course is to provide an opportunity for philosophy students to integrate knowledge and skills that they have learned in the classroom outside the classroom.
Specific internship goals and objectives include:
- To integrate knowledge of philosophical theories, method, and classroom experience into practical use;
- To develop and apply critical thinking skills;
- To develop and apply writing and oral communication skills;
- To enhance students' qualifications for future employment and/or graduate school opportunities;
- To provide students with first-hand experience about the type of employment that suits the students' aspirations.
Each proposal for an internship must include a description of the goals and objectives. These goals can be both content and process centered.
Assessment Measures
Grading will be done on an A-F basis. Each proposal for an internship must include an exact description of how the student's performance will be evaluated. Although exact grading requirements may vary according to the nature of the individual internship experience, typical requirements include:
- The successful completion of at least the minimum number of hours required for academic credit;
- The regular and punctual attendance at the internship site;
- The on-site supervisor's rating of the student's performance;
- The faculty supervisor's evaluation of the student's performance may be based on the following: evidence of completion of reading assignments, journals or other types of informal writing, and/or formal research projects/papers.
Other Course Information
