Miyuki's at the top of a very good school. At this point, she could chose any white collar career she pleases. (I'm not saying she couldn't find out she's not suited for it afterward.)
It's not like everyone has a big story on why they chose the path they did, and "doctor" is a famous enough job for people to want to do it.

Ok, I have to admit I found this episode to be fun to watch. But man why do they keep "plugging" Haruhi so much? Is there any purpose to this? Was the creator a fan or is this part of 'Kyoto Animations' deal to show you the connection between the two that they were invovled with?
I had to laugh at the fact that of 'Konata' doing 'Haruhi' at the cafe. Just listening to her switch back and forth was great and at the same time funny as hell! As VA does both characters anyway. This show has a long list of references. I saw the 'Toranoana' building and 'Gamers'. Of course there's the 'Animate' mascot who's been trying to sell 'Konata' something. Of course I'm missing 'Yui' with her antics. But gawd 'Miyuki' and her mom. Good grief. Nothing like a little 'Lucky Star' before bedtime.

Let's say Miyuki had instead said "I really want to build robotics engineer, so I wrote 'robotics engineer' in all three spaces."
Well, Miyuki is more than qualified to be a robotics engineer, but never struck me as the sort who'd want to design robots, so we're left wondering "Gee, what have we not been told about Miyuki?" or we just assume that since robotics is a stereotypical field for intelligent people, she's just continuing to be a collection of cliches instead of a fleshed-out character.
Why raise the question and then give no explanation, when we then go on to get an explanation of Tsukasa's choices, which demanded no explanation at all?

I think they had to put something, because Miyuki's the type who'd have thought about it and come up with a definitive answer before the papers were due.
As for "doctor"... I think it fits her caring personality and academic abilities.

Those are all injections by the animation team of KyoAni (whom have the Haruhi franchise). The manga of Lucky*Star reads kind of like Peanuts & Zits with splashes of Monty Python absurdities. Its a charming little story about a group of girls, one of whom is an otaku. Oh, Kona and Nanako do play an MMO that resembles an amalgam of real MMOs. They haven't messed with that.
In many cases, the KyoAni injections work pretty well because Kona is a modern girl geek and she tends to think, act, and immerse herself in the latest in anime. She *would* tend to think of some romance references (Da Capo) at springtime. She does work in a cosplay cafe (though its never shown so far) so dressing as Haruhi might makes sense. She would drag her friends to anime idol concerts. She would quote characters or mimic them in conversation.
So not all the injections are offbase... and a number of the anime-only sequences add to the heart of L*S (the extended temple sequence, the extended beach trip sequence, Kagami's FMP passion, the karaoke box endings, etc). But I think reasonable people would say that the animation staff has in several occasions gone about 30 seconds too far in some of their product reminders - particularly Haruhi and the Tenchou pieces. Lucky*Channel (which mirrors a real world radio show) has intruded substantially on the time budget for the series - it has been very funny but it has had an impact on the time budget left to the main story.
As you can tell, my feelings about the injections are mixed. Kind of... two slices of pie are mmmmmm good, but your host makes you eat five slices, so your tummy hurts and you're wondering about the good sense of your host.

In Japan, the smart folks go into medicine. It's a highly respected profession and brings pride to the family if your child is a doctor. You get high social status and a good income. Come to think of it, I don't think doctors in the West get nearly the same respect doctors in Japan do. Many older folks still bow when they see a doctor in robes. They are called "sensei" often.
I don't think that's why Miyuki wanted to be a doctor, but it's normal for people getting top grades considering getting into medicine. I think it's a joke since she's afraid of even going to dentists office, and her boke personality surely puts many patients at risk. Hope she becomes something simple like a pediatrician.
In Japan, anime is created not by the author, but a production committee made up of people who fronted the money. Usually they are the manga/novel publisher and the animation house itself. Sometimes, if the author is well-known and/or powerful, the manga-ka gets to be on the committee and gets approval rights for the scripts. They usually do NOT. My guess is that L*S being such a low-profile manga and Yoshimizu being a young first-time manga-ka, he has very little creative control over the anime scripts. Is looks like KyoAni is doing whatever hell it wants with L*S, in coupled with a LOT of "promotional considerations" for their own and Kadokawa. Yoshimizu gets very little say in the anime, I believe.
However, that doesn't mean they won't listen to him or his opinion won't matter. I have a feeling that the manga-ka knows about these additions and, being an outted otaku in HS, I am fairly certain he's also enjoying all these odd-ball otaku references. I think if he's shocked by anything , its the non-otaku things like the dorama parody or the ED song selections. But then, most otaku would feel unease with a Kimura dorama reference and that's all KyoAni right there. Personally I saw it as brilliant, since there's a huge gulf between the otaku and the mainstream and a little cross-cultural shock therapy is always funny. Vexx-sama, how much of these non-otaku references are in the manga?
I guess that's why I enjoy L*S's cultural references so much since it's hysterical to imagine what would the J-otakus made out of these references. For example, when I wrote EP16's Cultural References, the Japanese blog where I get most of my info from actually did NOT get the reference to Beat Takeshi's Medical Horror Show; he just wrote "talking in the manner of some medical show". It's one of the best rated show in TV, but the otakus live in a different world.

There are some examples of that in the US that I am aware of. In some Korean and Jewish households here, there is the assumption that if you are intelligent enough, you WILL be a doctor. Period. Law school is for wash-outs who have no hope of medical school. Along those lines, doctors get a tremendous amount of respect from such families. A Korean friend of mine has a lot of family and self-confidence issues after he decided medicine wasn't the path for him.
(That isn't to stereotype Korean or Jewish people. It's just that, in the US, I haven't heard of that mindset being in any other social group).
I'd just never had the experience to gain the impression that also happens in Japan. I'd heard of legendary arrogance from many Japanese doctors, but not of the social factors involved in going into medicine. If there is such a social pressure, that means this isn't just Miyuki adhering to a cliche or choosing a profession without proper exposition to explain, but is a very natural choice for her character. I'm happy with the scene now that I'm no longer ignorant of that.
I personally don't think medicine should have that elevated social status. It's just like any other applied science. The reason I didn't go into medicine was after years of hearing about unbelievable stupidity and arrogance in the field from those who had to work it (You'd THINK eight years of rigorous schooling would weed the idiots out, but apparently not...). I'm only now considering going to medical school in the future because I want to be able to practice in the mission field... but this is really off topic, so I'll stop there.

It's a term that came from Chinese Confucianism, where the term meant "Born before". In ancient China, learned people (basically pepole who can read) are highly respected, and those who offer to teach it to the unlearned are called Sensei. The respect for teachers emanate throught out East-Asian society, and this term became a designation of respect for all learned individuals.
Incientally, the kanji for "sensei" means "Mister" in modern mandarin Chinese. Anyone who's a dude is called so and so "sensei". Hence this is an ancient Chinese term, not a modern one. This is a common point of confusion for Chinese learner of Japanese - "why did he just call his female teacher "Mister"?"

By the way, speaking of its origin, it's probably in 禮記, though don't quote me for it, but like you say, that's off topic.

Chrome 4 Now Supports the HTML 5 Web SQL Database API
- Share
- |
Read later
Reading List
Google has announced support for the HTML 5 Web SQL Database API, and others are likely to follow soon or have already started on support for this API. In the meantime, the completion of the specification is blocked because all the implementers involved have chosen to use SQLite as underlying database, and multiple independent implementations are required for standardization.
As part of HTML 5, the W3C organization is working on a draft of the Web SQL Database API, a specification which covers storing and accessing data through SQL. The SQL language dialect which is described in the documentation is that of SQLite 3.6.19. This API allows web pages to contain code that interacts with an embedded client database, which is useful for applications wanting to store data locally or for offline browsing.
Google has announced support for Web SQL Database in the latest production version of their browser, Chrome 4, based on SQLite. This is a move toward standardization considering Google has a Database API, also based on SQLite, in Gears. Through the Gears API, structured data storage was provided for all major browsers, including IE, Firefox, and Safari; however, Google has stopped developing Gears.
Firefox 3 has an embedded SQLite database which is currently used mostly for storing bookmarks and history, but it will probably add support for Web SQL Database API. Work is underway on WebKit, the rendering engine used by Safari, to make the Web Database API available to web workers. Nothing is currently known about Microsoft's plans for IE and the HTML 5 database API.
While some companies have implemented the Web Database API and others are working on implementing it, the specification has reached a roadblock according to the draft because all interested parties have chosen to use SQLite:
This specification has reached an impasse: all interested implementers have used the same SQL backend (SQLite), but we need multiple independent implementations to proceed along a standardization path. Until another implementer is interested in implementing this spec, the description of the SQL dialect has been left as simply a reference to SQLite, which isn't acceptable for a standard. Should you be an implementer interested in implementing an independent SQL backend, please contact the editor so that he can write a specification for the dialect, thus allowing this specification to move forward.
Given this "impasse", it remains to see if the standard will drive the implementation or if it will be the other way around. At present, it appears that Google has driven an increase in the pace of browser development, and none of the browser vendors are waiting for the standards to complete before implementing their own Web SQL Database API support.

I'm sure Microsoft will just use Access, or embed excel, or something similarly inane.

I bet that Microsoft will use SQLite. Their current problem is that Firefox, Chrome, and Safari have taken away enough market share that taking IE in a proprietary direction with respect to HTML5 storage could easily kill IE.
Only when and if HTML 5 (and specifically the Database API) is relevant years from now.

If I recollect correctly, they haven't been consistent with their approach when it comes to storage (Microsoft Outlook still uses a proprietary format for data storage).

Snowflakes dance and twirl through the air as the capricious wind blows them this way and that. The wind chimes tinkle madly, and the bare limbs on the trees bend to the whim of the wind. Winter has been showing his fierce teeth the past few days, with icy blasts, snow showers and freezing temperatures. Although February is with us still, the weather is more like March with its changeable moods. All at once the sun will pop through and blue skies are revealed before the snowflakes start flying again. The sun has little warmth, however and the bitter wind chills a person to the bone.
The chipmunk that scurried along the rock wall during those warm days a short time ago has disappeared; gone no doubt into the deep recesses of his warm burrow. We, too, seek the sanctuary of our homes, to curl up in an armchair near the blessed warmth of our stoves, venturing out as little as necessary.
We are content to watch the outdoors through our window, and enjoy the antics of the birds as they throng the bird feeder. There are at least six pairs of cardinals that lord it over the smaller birds, and the bright red males festoon the rose of Sharon bush, turning into some exotic blooming tree.
The black-capped chickadees dart in and out, along with the juncos and wrens. We get so much pleasure out of these tiny-feathered creatures that eat together in harmony, until the arrogant blue jays descend and scatter the flock. As I watch these little birds I realize, and not for the first time, the secret of contentment. It is to appreciate the small things; to find pleasure in the simple blessings.
I realize that most of my daydreams will never come true, many places that I once longed to visit I will never be able to, and I'm just a tadpole in a small puddle. However, I want to enjoy my life to the best of my capabilities. I am truly blessed. I have a family who surrounds me with loving care; a husband who anticipates my every need and takes good care of me. I have granddaughters and nieces who pet and pamper me. What else do I need?
The Apostle Paul in the book of Philippians states, "For I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." I have noticed that many people who possess much of this world's goods are not content.They seem to be always striving for more and more and are not satisfied. I think that only God makes us truly content.
Sometimes I wonder that my readers may think, because I always try to look on the bright side of every situation, that I never have any troubles. That is far from the truth of course. We all go through trials and tribulations in this life, because we are human. But I have found the One who carries us through the heartaches and burdens of this life.
Someone sent this poem a long time ago, and it is very good.
Author Unknown
I learn as the years roll onward
And leave the past behind,
That much I have counted sorrow
But proves our God is kind;
That many a flower I longed for
Had a hidden thorn of pain,
And many a rugged by-path
Led to fields of ripened grain.
The clouds but cover the sunshine,
They cannot banish the sun,
And the earth shines out the brighter
When the weary rain is done,
We must stand in the deepest sorrow
To see the clearest light,
And often from wrong's own darkness
Comes the very strength of right.
We must live through the weary winter
If we could but value the spring,
And the woods must be cold and silent
Before the robins sing,
The flowers must be buried in darkness
Before they could bud and bloom
And the sweetest and warmest sunshine
Comes after the storm and gloom.
So the heart from the hardest trial
Gains the purest joy of all,
And from the lips that have tasted sadness
The sweetest songs will fall.
For as peace comes after suffering,
And love is reward of pain,
So after earth comes heaven
And out of our loss the gain.
Spring is sending some subtle signals to us that she is on her way. Both Criss and Patty have heard spring peepers tuning up, but of course they have buried back in the mud at the bottom of the pond to await a warmer day. My friend Darren Porter, who lives in Kentucky, found frog eggs in some puddles. Crocuses are blooming, and the Easter flowers are putting out buds. It won't be long now.
We have never found our little dog, Chloe. There is a possibility that she could have been snatched up by a coyote, although it grieves us that she could have met with such a fate. Each night I go to bed wondering if she is cold, or hungry. When we lost Millie, we received a card from Elk Valley Veterinary Hospital, which was a comfort.
Just this side of heaven lies the Rainbow Bridge. When a beloved pet dies, it goes to the Rainbow Bridge. It makes friends with other animals and frolics over rolling hills and peaceful, lush meadows of green.
Our pets do not thirst or hunger. The old and sick are made young once more; the maimed and the ill become healed and strong. They are as healthy and playful as we remember them in days gone by.
Though happy and content, they still miss someone very special, someone they had to leave behind.
Together, the animals chase and play, but the day comes when a pet will suddenly stop and look into the distance. . . bright eyes intent, eager body quivering. Suddenly recognizing you, your pet bounds quickly across the green fields and into your embrace. You celebrate in joyous reunion. You will never again separate.
Happy tears and kisses are warm and plenty; your hands caress the face you missed. You look once more into the loving eyes of your pet and know you never really parted. You realize that though out of sight, your love had been remembered.
And now, you cross the Rainbow Bridge together . . .
By M. A. Preston.
Our many thank to those who showed concern, and who prayed.

locked bedroom on Eleanor Road was like nothing else she had experienced in her nearly 24 years of policing.SEYMOUR, Conn (Hartford Courant) — What veteran police Officer Lisa Wexler saw inside a stinking, dark,
A frail, starving woman covered head-to-toe with feces and urine sat in a room so foul officers couldn't breathe. They had to leave and call in a colleague wearing a hazardous material suit with an air pack to explore the room.
"Your eyes immediately watered. The smell … awful. We had to change uniforms after leaving because the stench was in them," Wexler said Friday afternoon at a press conference outside the Seymour Police Department. "I served on the New Haven police force for 22 years before retiring and coming here last July. I never saw anything like this in my years with New Haven. I was absolutely shocked."
The 56-year-old woman was recovering Friday afternoon at Yale-New Haven Hospital from what police said was neglect by her caretaker — her brother, Arthur Gauvin, 58.
"Officers and detectives have determined the motive for Gauvin keeping the victim locked up inside the house was so he wouldn't lose the house to the state of Connecticut," Deputy Chief Paul Satkowski said on Friday.
Gauvin faces numerous felony charges, including first-degree unlawful restraint, and was being held on $150,000 bond after his arraignment Friday afternoon in Superior Court in Derby. He is due in Milford Superior Court on May 13 for another hearing.
Detectives learned that the victim had owned the house once, and that ownership was transferred to Arthur Gauvin seven years ago. He was required to care for his sister for a total of nine years before the state would begin providing her any services, Satkowski said.
The exact details of the home ownership issue are still being sought by investigators, he said.
Satkowski, at the post-arraignment press conference, said officers had been called to the home at 10 Eleanor Road for minor issues in 2010 and 2012, and found no evidence of anything wrong. Officers saw and talked with the sister both times, and she appeared normal, and conditions in the home were not unusual, he said.
After an anonymous call Thursday night asking officers to check on the welfare of a woman at the home, "What officers found Thursday night was astonishing, terrible," Satkowski said.
The tiny bedroom — its sole window painted black, nailed shut with boards and locked tight from he outside — was "kept like a dungeon," he said in the press release distributed after Gauvin's arrest.
"When the victim was brought Thursday night by ambulance to Yale-New Haven Hospital, some of the doctor and nurses on duty were mortified by her condition," Wexler said. "She was so frail, malnourished, dehydrated, dirty. Unbelievable."
Gauvin, who police said has no previous criminal record, was arrested twice Thursday night. The first time was on charges that he imprisoned and was criminally cruel to his sister. The second time was on threatening and witness tampering charges because he allegedly warned his daughter, who was waiting for him in the police station lobby, not to talk to police or he would kick her and her young daughter out of the house.
The younger woman, 33, told police later she had often questioned her father's poor care of the victim, saw continued mistreatment of her and was "petrified" by her own father's threat that he would toss her and his own 6-year-old grandchild out of the home if she cooperated in the investigation.
The daughter and grandchild lived in the home with Gauvin and the imprisoned sister. Police also said two young men, friends of the daughter, rented space in the basement because they had no other place to live.
Satkowski said the state Department of Children and Families had joined police in reviewing the case. It was not clear Friday if anyone would be allowed back into the home.
Nancy Phillips, who lives nearby and had bought a dog several years ago from Arthur Gauvin, said she walked by the Eleanor Road home about a year ago and saw a woman standing in the bedroom, looking out the window. Phillips said she thought it might be Gauvin's sister and asked people in Gauvin's yard how "the girl in the bedroom" was doing.
Not long after that, when Phillips next walked past the house, she said the bedroom window was painted black and the air conditioning unit in the window was gone.
"I should have said something," Phillips said Friday, sitting in a parked car outside the Gauvin home before leaving on an errand. "I always saw him sitting on the front steps, drinking. Never saw her again."

EAST LANSING (AP) ? Draymond Green did enough at Michigan State to likely have his No. 23 hanging as a retired jersey in the Breslin Center's rafters.
EAST LANSING (AP) — Draymond Green did enough at Michigan State to likely have his No. 23 hanging as a retired jersey in the Breslin Center's rafters.
"I'd say he has a great shot at it," Izzo said Tuesday.
The outgoing senior became the fourth Spartan selected to The Associated Press' All-America first team, joining Magic Johnson, Shawn Respert and Mateen Cleaves.
He would be the 10th player to have his jersey retired by Michigan State. The others are: Johnson, Respert, Cleaves, Johnny Green, Greg Kelser, Jay Vincent, Scott Skiles, Steve Smith and Morris Peterson.
Finding players to step up as leaders without Green around was one of the challenges Izzo talked about while taking a look back at a season that started with the Spartans unranked and ended last week with them as a first-seeded team that was knocked out by Louisville.
"It was not one of our better performances and I'll give Louisville some credit for it," he said. "Nobody played well and our energy did not seem to be there."
The Spartans went 29-8, won the Big Ten tournament title, shared the conference championship in the regular season and advanced to the round of 16 for the 10th time in 15 years.
Green will leave a void on the court, where he averaged 16.2 points and 10.6 rebounds, and off it as a leader who helped to improve the team's chemistry.
"You may never have a leader like Draymond again," Izzo said.
Michigan State also will miss departing seniors Austin Thornton and Brandon Wood.
Izzo is hoping Derrick Nix becomes a captain as a senior next season and believes point guard Travis Trice could be a young leader as a sophomore.
The hard-driving coach wants Keith Appling to find his shooting stroke and to make more time to watch film to learn how to make teammates better. Nix has a goal of getting down to 260 pounds while Adreian Payne is trying to add 10 pounds to his lanky frame.
Izzo raved about his highly touted recruits who are on the way: Bay City's Matt Costello, who won the Mr. Basketball award, and runner-up Denzel Valentine of Lansing, along with Gary Harris, who was recognized as the top player in Indiana, and Ohio's Kenny Kaminski, who played well late in the season after being injured.
"We think we have an incredible class coming in," Izzo said.
As usual, the Spartans plan to be tested before the Big Ten season starts by playing a nonconference schedule that might include Kentucky along with Kansas.
"If I'm going to play somebody big, I want to play somebody big," Izzo said.
Izza is looking forward to the next few years.
"I'm here as long as they want me here," he said.

In defence of self-defence
(Liverpool, Nova Scotia)
In 1981 Jane Stafford shot her husband as he slept behind the wheel of his truck. She had her son load a twelve gage single shot with a shell (slug) and sent him back into the house before she executed him through the open drivers window. She then drove his vehicle and decapitated body 7 miles from the crime scene. Eventually she confessed to the crime. Also, evidence came forward she tried to hire a hit man prior to the murder and also attempted to acquire poison from the same "hitman" when he refused the $20,000 contract (he feared Billy).
During the trial the judge instructed the jury as follows regarding section 37 (Defence of self defence)
"You should understand that the law of self defence proceeds from necessity to preserve one`s life with instinctive and intuitive necessity. Under no circumstances may that defence be cloak for revenge or retaliation. If you have no reasonable doubt as to whether the accused acted in self defence as I`ve defined it, you will find the accused not guilty of murder or any other offense. Then the Crown will have failed to prove the homicide culpable, because homicide committed in self defence is not a culpable homicide.
One officer ( RCMP) said publically should have received a metal and the one who took her confession told her to go home and celebrate with the rest of the community.
Jane Stafford was found not quilty at the trial.

Foundation / Corporation
New York Life Foundation and Afterschool Alliance
Grants of up to $50,000 per year for up to two years to USA nonprofit organizations for programs and projects that benefit disadvantaged middle school students in grades 6, 7, and 8. Funding is intended to support after-school and summer learning programs that help middle school students make a successful transition from 8th to 9th grade.
This grant program includes both one- and two-year grant opportunities. Applicants can only apply for one of these grants. Specific grant objectives vary between the one-year and two-year grants, as described below.
Two-Year Grants:
There are two separate two-year grant opportunities included in this RFP. Each program will only be eligible to apply to one of these grant opportunities, as explained below:
- 8 grants at $50,000 per year over the span of two years, for a total two-year grant award of $100,000. Only after-school and summer programs with annual program budgets of $250,000 or more and annual organizational budgets of $500,000 or more will be eligible to apply for these grants.
- 8 grants at $25,000 per year over the span of two years, for a total two-year grant award of $50,000. Only organizations with annual organizational budgets of $250,000 or more will be eligible for these grants.
These grant funds may be used for technical assistance, capacity building, enhancing direct service activities, and/or program expansion. Two-year grant recipients will need to report on indicators of success such as on-time promotion to the 9th grade; school attendance rates; improved behavior, grades and test scores; and the development of social and emotional skills.
The Two-Year Grant Application can be found in Section II of the RFP.
One-Year Targeted Grants:
Ten one-year grants of $15,000 each will be awarded. Like the two-year grants, these grant funds may be used for technical assistance, capacity building, enhancing direct service activities, and/or program expansion, but, unlike the two-year grants, the one-year grants are specifically intended to help OST programs to better serve and support youth with disabilities or special needs in out-of-school time programming. Grant funds do not need to be restricted to serving only youth with disabilities or special needs, but to support programs that serve both special needs and general population students.
For the purposes of the Aim High Grant Program, we use the definition of youth with disabilities or special needs that is provided by the Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration, and the Maternal and Child Health Bureau of children with special health care needs: "Those who have or are at increased risk for a chronic physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional condition and who also require health and related services of a type or amount beyond that required by children generally."
Applicants for the one-year grants will be required to describe how they support youth in the transition to the 9th grade, with a specific focus on how their programs serve youth with disabilities or other special needs, or plan to better serve this population. Organizations with annual budgets of $150,000 or more will be eligible for these grants. Organizational budgets are defined in Appendix E. Definitions (see page 41).
The One-Year Grant Application can be found in Section III of the RFP.
Targeted states - Any applying programs within the following states will receive an extra five points on the scoring rubric: Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

Sharapova and Kuznetsova win at Indian Wells
Former champion Maria Sharapova cruised into the third round of the BNP Paribas Open with a ruthless 6-2 6-1 demolition of Italy's Francesca Schiavone today.sports Updated: Mar 09, 2013 08:55 IST
Former champion Maria Sharapova cruised into the third round of the BNP Paribas Open with a ruthless 6-2 6-1 demolition of Italy's Francesca Schiavone on Saturday.
Despite tricky court conditions on a chilly and blustery afternoon at the California desert venue, the Russian delivered a superb display of deep, accurate groundstrokes to seal victory in just over an hour.
Second-seeded Sharapova, champion here in 2006, broke Schiavone's serve three times in each set and will next face Carla Suarez Navarro, a 6-1 6-1 winner over fellow Spaniard Silvia Soler Espinosa.
Svetlana Kuznetsova also advanced to the third round, recovering from a poor start after discarding her long tights to upset 18th-seeded Serb Jelena Jankovic 0-6 6-2 7-5.
"I was pretty bad in the first set, but I managed to change it," Kuznetsova, a losing finalist here in 2007 and 2008, told reporters. "So I'm pretty happy with it, but I have to change the start."
The Russian, who was sidelined by a right knee injury for six months last year after losing in the first round of Wimbledon, did not blame her tights for her slow start but said she felt much more comfortable without them.
"Even though I tried to play in long tight pants in the first set, I cannot," the 27-year-old smiled. "I can practise in them without a problem, but when I have matches I always start to lose and I have to take them off.
"They are very tight, so they were kind of pushing my stomach and I was not so much comfortable. It was not bothering me like so much, but after I took them off I was feeling a little bit looser. It's a little bit funny."
Kuznetsova, whose world ranking has plummeted to 46th from a career-high second, will next face ninth seed Marion Bartoli of France who brushed aside South Africa's Chanelle Scheepers 6-3 6-3.
Earlier, Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova survived 10 double faults and an erratic second set performance to beat Olga Govortsova of Belarus 6-4 3-6 6-3 in the first match of the day on the second Stadium Court.
The big-serving Czech, seeded fifth in the elite WTA event at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, sealed victory after a marathon encounter lasting two hours and 21 minutes when a Govortsova forehand sailed wide.
Kvitova, who clinched her 10th WTA singles title in Dubai last month, will next face Ukrainian Lesia Tsurenko, who beat Kazakhstan's Yaroslava Shvedova 6-1 3-6 6-1.
In other matches, sixth-seeded Italian Sara Errani battled past Spaniard Lourdes Dominguez Lino 6-2 3-6 6-3 and 12th seed Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia beat Romania's Simona Halep 7-5 7-6.
Later in the day, third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland was scheduled to take on American teenager Maria Sanchez.
Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka of Belarus, who demolished Sharapova 6-2 6-3 in last year's BNP Paribas Open final, will launch her title defence against Slovakia's Daniela Hantuchova in the second round.

Anyway... I understand you're all annoyed of Chisato getting possessive of Yuki, oftentimes discussing with him about being close to Satsuki and Isara.
Let's put it this way...
Why is she being possessive of Yuki?
He's her childhood friend and love interest. Simply rejecting her and saying "I will stay by your side" afterwards is still confusing for a maiden's complicated heart.
Why should he stay away from Satsuki?
Yeah, its jealously but it since they're political rivals as well, it should be avoid even temporarily for the good of them.(Yuki and Satsuki)
Why should he stay away from Isara?
Same reason, since Isara is connected to the Finance and many are angry with them... it will affect his popularity.. Chisato told him to help Isara afterwards.
Chisato's jealousy is too much, yes.. but the reasons she uses are true as well.

Wow, there was so much going on this episode, that it felt like they crammed 2 episodes into one.
So now we have the arrival of Oosawa Yuina, who seems to be in with the dreaded evil Katahira faction (which, btw, I have no idea why they are evil in the first place since we know nothing about them). She looks like the big, bad final boss that Yuuki will need to defeat in order to beat the game. Btw, I rechecked the first episode, and the shadow of character that ran over Kana (the photographer who got run over) matches Oosawa, glasses, hair, boobs, and all.
Even though we have suspicions of President Mouri, he probably is not the bad guy. He seems to truly support Yuuki without trying to control Yuuki. He is also friends with Kana. I'm sure he will make Oosawa pay for what she did.
Yuuki did not have much romantic flags this episode, but the Chisato nagging is getting a little out of hand. We no longer know if what she is advising Yuuki is for his own good or out of pure jealousy. I do have to commend Yuuki for standing up for Financial Aid students, even if it is not the most popular agenda. It takes guts to stand for what is right.
With Chisato being so clingy and desperate, and also advising against the wishes of the MC, it really is a losing situation for her in the romance department. Yuuki now comforts her more out of pity than true love. Also, the 3 (Chisato, Yuuki, and Satsuki) have finally all met and talked at the same time. Satsuki really went on the offensive with that one.
Which reminds me, what was Satsuki so upset with Hazuki about in the beginning?

I think I get what they were going for with Chisato in Episode 9, but they really did overdo it. Chisato is now coming off like the female equivalent of one of those guys that gets upset everytime his girlfriend gets complimented by a guy or even just interacts nicely with another guy.
I can understand Chisato being a bit upset in general, and upset in particular over the Satsuki situation, but it was honestly kind of lame how she got upset over Oojima rushing to Isara's defense and also with him merely testing out Michiru's harmonica (anime can get pretty silly sometimes with things like "indirect kisses" ). Oojima has had nothing even approaching romantic interactions with Michiru the entire show, so Chisato really does come off as overly clingy and even a bit paranoid given her reaction to Oojima helping Michiru with her harmonica.
Chisato needs to come to grips with the fact that Oojima has become a popular guy... which is kind of the point at the moment!
While I feel a bit sorry for Chisato, this latest episode has put me squarely into the Oojima/Satsuki shipping camp. I'd now only be Ok with Oojima/Chisato end if Chisato shows a much greater ability to handle Oojima having friendly interactions with other girls.
I'm also now comfortable completely ruling out Mifuyu and Michiru ends - Mifuyu going into the drama routine when Oojima said he loved her in this episode tells me that Mifuyu has accepted romantic loss when it comes to Oojima. Meanwhile, this episode came the closest of them all to a Oojima/Michiru romantic moment... and it resulted in Oojima getting into a nasty accident or almost getting into one (and wow, talk about a preview absolutely destroying the effect of a cliffhanger... anime, will you never learn? ). So, yeah, I doubt Michiru is going to want to push that much further given what happened here.
In spite of the complaints I made above, I really enjoyed this episode. It was great to see the scheming and strategizing of two of the three main camps (which in turn leaves me wondering if Satsuki is too much of an one-woman show for her own campaign's good - there was no scenes of her talking to her people). It was also neat to meet a new important character, who seems to be getting set up as an antagonist of sorts.
The election side of this story continues to deliver in flying colors, and it made for a pretty compelling watch. The romance side had some interesting conflicts and developments, but if they're aiming for a Oojima/Chisato end, I think they overdid things a bit this episode (OTOH, if this is leading into Chisato learning to let go of Oojima, then this episode effectively shows that she perhaps does need to).

At this stage, I still have fears for Elections ability to cram the remaining plot in three, or four episodes at most. We've taken NINE episodes to reach the main elections, and the direction of romance is still quite considerably up in the air. Now, can Chisato snatch victory from this? Maybe, but at this rate, it seems like a victory of pity, if nothing else.
Chocolate is coming into play rather nicely here at several angles, including the possibility that in many ways, Oojima is seen as a substitute brother in Chisato's eyes, and something more at the same time. Ultimately, I think at this stage, it's very difficult for this to end in a Chisato victory. Still, if this anime is going down the Satsuki route, it's handling the feelings of the First Girl at quite a surprisingly good pace.
However, it's because of this difficulty, in the light of the very limited time left that leaves me most concerned about the "Love" department. At this stage, it seems that it's going to be very difficult to juggle Elections and Love simultaneously. I really think we might indeed end up with a no Romantic Conclusion ending, but one leaning strongly towards Satsuki. Indeed, if what we've seen of the Public Security Commission is any indication, I'd imagine that winning the Elections is just the beginning. He'll need the support of at least one of the Commissions to get things done, and odds are, should Oojima win, and if there is no Romantic Conclusion, and if we get enough Satsuki screen-time, I suggest we might end up with an ambigious romantic outcome situation that leans strongly towards Satsuki.
Truth is, he'll need her after the elections. And the Food Club might no longer be a place of dwelling, but a temporary indulgence in a refuge. Save the club, get exiled from the club. The Post Election Now What clouds are gathering strongly in this episode.
By the way, has there been any Harem plot where the Harem lead is the Student Council President?

So basically, she's annoyed because the whole Satsuki romance question was swept under the rug -- which is actually exactly what Episode 9 itself was doing.

Yuuki working hard on his campaign.
Those two Shinonome sisters still fighting...
Chisato having mixed feelings about Yuuki.
I was glad those mean girls got theirs for bullying Aomi.
It was about time too!
The ending of this episode was pretty dramatic..

I'm wondering if this means that Satsuki romance is only on hold, or if they are going to shove it aside the rest of the series? I can understand that they need to focus more on the other areas of the show, but I do hope it ends conclusively.

And Yeah. I don't like Chisato too. I just tired of osananajimis, especially tsundere ones and Chisato behavior is too annoying. Even Yuka from 11eyes didn't bother me so much.

The anime version Chisato I don't mind too much, meaning her being clingy, the jealous type, osananajimi is acceptable. Only problem I have with her is pressing the issue with Yuuki that he must fall in love with her, like it's expected. I seriously don't like the way it was handled here, it does not feel believable to me, not to mention there's a lack of proper build up since most of the time was focused on Satsuki (whom I prefer to get the ending btw).

To be honest, I didn't necessarily care for Chisato, but this episode made me NOT like her at all, for a few reasons that I'll get into.
The first has been pretty much covered and I agree with Reckoner completely. Chisato needs to get over herself, cause she's looking pathetic at this point. Yuuki is a better man than me, cause I would have put her in her place a LONG time ago acting like this. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if she goes the yandere route. The guy can't even talk to a woman casually without her getting butthurt and getting a pissy attitude. I would have told her to kick rocks, cause I have a VERY low tolerance level to stuff like that.
I can understand her reasoning about Yuuki not including the financial aid students because of how it can ruin the campaign, but her true intentions were wrong. She didn't give a crap of the actual difficulties those students face, she was only worried about it cause of her jealously.
The final reason seems to be implied, but I get the overall impression that Yuuki is currently some kind of "replacement". Now I don't know if thats true, but thats the vibe I'm getting and I honestly don't like it. If we do indeed find out Yuuki is indirectly a replacement to Chisato for this Daiki fellow, I will not want her to win at all. Its shallow imo and not worthy of a relationship with Yuuki.
I'm dead serious when I say that Hazuki or Satsuki are the best girls in this show for me, and this episode proved it to a tee.

Chisato is annoying? True, I agree with that.
Why is she like that? She's desperate... Knowing that he is popular and a girl magnet had pout her in that situation plus Yuki's "rejection".
Chisato has lost her brother and now she's losing her childfriend and love interest since she learned how to love. Yuki saying "I'll never leave you" and " I'll stay by your side" put her more in a confusing situation. Blame it to Yuki for not clearing it... as if if he is allowed to be with Chisato when he choses another girl... Any girl would be angry if they heard that line.

Pretty much echo the feelings on Chisato. Somebody warm up the nice boat.
This was an excellent ep otherwise, though - the first time I felt like all three titular threads were not just present, but starting to collide. Some intriguing elements with the introduction of Oosawa (KugiRie playing against type) and the internal politics of the PSC. With Mouri saying that they have a mole in the Oojima campaign and the surprising intervention of his aides on Isara's behalf, I wonder if it's her. And who's the "influential ally" working on behalf of the GAC and Moheji?
As for the ending, I can only call it a "Deux ex harmonica" until proved otherwise. A very well-executed troll, playing on the idea that it was a classic indirect kiss gag and the usual early introduction of the ED theme. But why was Michiru trying to play a harmonica in the first place? And just why the heck is she in the story, apart from the moe factor? Many questions still to be answered...

I made this quilt for my nephew. The center fabric was so lovely I didn't want to cut it up so deliberately used it whole. I wanted it to look like a pool of water.
I machine pieced the quilt, but had my friend Scottie Brooks hand quilt it. It was finished July 10, 2004. It measures 82.25 in square.
I used small squares to try to make it look like tiles around a pool. The outer strip of blue/green is a lovely batik fabric.
My nephew took these photos for me.

This week, America will have the chance to observe two very different paths in Washington. One road would lead to increased taxes on small businesses, further dragging down the economy; the other would lead to job creation by stopping a tax hike on the very entities most likely to invest and hire.
At the end of this year, a large number of tax rates and provisions will expire and reset to higher levels, including marginal income tax rates, marriage penalty rates, and the estate tax. For example, the capital gains rate will increase to 20 percent from 15 percent. And the tax rates in the top brackets will increase to 39.6 percent from 35 percent, to 36 percent from 33 percent, and to 31 percent from 28 percent. The expiration of these lower tax rates will greatly affect small business owners whose companies are organized as "pass-through" entities, where their business gains or losses are reflected on their individual tax returns.

Wondering about the hot paint colors for next year? Wonder no more: The 2012 paint palette will draw heavily from the natural colors in the American landscape, according to Debbie Zimmer, color expert at the Paint Quality Institute.
If you're thinking about repainting your home interior, Zimmer advises that you look to the great American outdoors because native plants and flowers, oceans and lakes, and rocks and minerals are the sources of inspiration for the paint colors that will be popular next year.
Here are some highlights:
Blue, the Jewel of the Sea
Blues gained popularity in 2011 and continue to be red hot in 2012. The color comes in a wide range of hues, from sparkling sea-glass blue to colonial blue-gray. A soothing color that almost everyone loves, blue is suitable for any room in the house.
Green, From Farm to Forest
Greens, ranging from celery and asparagus to fir and fern, allow homeowners to bring the comforting feelings of the world outside into the world within. According to Zimmer, dining rooms and kitchens are the natural spots for trendy greens, but the color would also work well in family rooms and bedrooms.
Violet, Majestic Purple Mountains
"A harmonious blend of patriotic blue and red hues, violet can add 'punch' to any room when used as an accent color, or serve as the dominant color in a bedroom," says Zimmer.
But natural hues aren't the only news for 2012. Zimmer predicts that three paint and decorating trends will gain prominence next year:
In 2012, patterned paint will take center stage, with increased interest in hound's-tooth finishes, lacy designs, and bold color blocking techniques. Pattern can either be the main decorating feature in a room, or it can provide a subtle, textured backdrop for furnishings and artwork.
Black and White
The classic combination of black and white isn't just for Cape Cods anymore. You'll see much more of it in all sorts of settings, from contemporary apartments to historic homes, Zimmer predicts, adding that the pairing is a great way to freshen an interior with something smart and stylish.
Exterior Paint Combinations
On the home exterior, colors for shutters will begin to shift away from the traditional look of high-contrast green, red, or black to a more monochromatic palette. More homeowners will paint their shutters just a shade darker than the siding, and those whose homes have stone exteriors can achieve a similar look by matching the shutter color to the dominant color of the stone, Zimmer says.
Despite all the new colors and trends, some things in the paint world will remain the same in 2012. Zimmer points out that top quality 100% acrylic latex paint will continue to provide the best performance and the best value to budget-conscious homeowners.
And since paints are locally produced, consumers can easily support the growing "Made in America" decorating trend.

I got lost on YouTube today. Ever done that? Watch a video and then click on one of the recommended next videos, etc?
Yeah, so I ran across this video from PeteDorr (a big video game YouTube guy, apparently) and he talks about "game burn out" and how he is currently (judging from the date of the video) recovering from it. Lost interest in playing games for several months and is just now getting back into them, that sort of thing.
But what really struck me about his video is that he describes certain games as the "nail in the coffin" for a specific genre. One by one, games were turning him off of gaming. And the one thing all these games had in common? They were too complex to keep his attention.
Granted this really is just "too complex to keep his attention" but I wonder if we could chop off that last bit and flat out call them "too complex" as a general rule. I found myself agreeing with him at a high level if not those specific games (I have no consoles). I think we have all run across games recently that just seem to drag on and on with the tutorials, where the first third of the game seems to be introduction to the rules.
"Now that you have learned the basics of complex weapon mods, we should go over the PvP racing mechanics."
To be fair, I am not suggesting that we all go back to the over-simplistic gameplay of '80s games, where tropes and cliches and technology held us all back, but it seems like the late '90s through maybe about the middle of the 2000's hit the right balance of complexity (with a few exceptions, of course).
One example that comes to mind - I think simply because it just bugged the heck out of me when I encountered it! - is the slight change to sword & board battle mechanics from Oblivion to Skyrim. IMHO, Skyrim is the superior game, but holy <expletives>, Batman! Skyrim's sword & board fighting drives me up the wall! In Obivion, holding down the right mouse button made your character hold up his/her shield for blocking, and then tapping the left mouse button while still holding the right mouse button made your character swing his/her main weapon and then go right back to holding up the shield for blocking. Sure, cool, easy to work with. But then Skyrim came along and all of a sudden that same mouse button dance makes your character perform a shield bash instead of swinging that main weapon thing. Ooooookaaaaaay... Adding a shield bash - ok, cool, very useful in certain circumstances. But then how do you do that thing you used to do in Oblivion with the quick jabs while still blocking constantly? Oh, you can no longer do that. Because shield bash. Coming from Oblivion, it felt like the game devs were just giving me a giant middle finger. As if that one little change in Skyrim is somehow "more elite" than what we had in Oblivion. More options = better, right? No. Sorry, Bethesda, but no. Shield bash is nice but not at the expense of blocking + jab. Shield bash should use a different freakin' mouse button or at least be able to be mapped separately from weapon jab. I am on a PC, guys! Give me the extra button mappings!
Yes, that was a jab at consoles right there! And you know what? Console gamers should be complaining EVEN MORE!! Why make games so complex that each button on a controller performs two or more different functions based on the most idiotic pixel-hunting context systems!? Remember that recent Thief game? You know, the stupid one? I watched someone play it on a console for about 30 minutes while they snuck around guards and had to reload save games twice because they opened a door when they meant to vault over a railing. Two reloads in 30 minutes!! It seems a bit extreme to me that modern gamers are reloading saves based on in-game misuses of contextual multi-function buttons rather than their own failures.
So I wonder... are games becoming so complex that they are no longer fun? For me, many of them have.

Story on animal testing confuses plastics issues.
The Valley Vanguard draws attention to some interesting fronts in endocrine disruption, but confuses issues related to plastics and chemical additives.
A March 22 article in the Valley Vanguard reports on a clash between the animal rights organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and researchers at Saginaw Valley State University (SVSU). The reporter's description of the SVSU research program provides an excellent, succinct summary of the differences between studies that focus on animal death or reproduction and those that explore fetal development in a more detailed way.
The article does erroneously link dioxins and the phthalate plasticizer DINP to water bottles, though.
Most water bottles are made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic (recycling #1), which is highly unlikely to contain dioxins or dioxin precursor chemicals. Urban legends have spread the myth that extreme cold or heat can release dioxins from water bottles, but PET contains no chlorine, the essential ingredient required for formation of the environmental contaminants. Dioxin formation is linked to burning of chlorine-containing PVC plastic (recycling #3), which is used in many everyday products but rarely water bottles.
The effects of DINP are also discussed in the article. DINP is a phthalate plasticizer commonly used as an additive for PVC plastic, not PET, so it should not be found in an ordinary water bottle. The confusion may arise from the similarity in names: PET contains building blocks called terephthalates and DINP is an orthophthalate. But as far as harmful effects are concerned, the connection stops there. DINP, DEHP, and other orthophthalates are associated with the hormone-disrupting effects described in the story. Readers who wish to avoid DINP exposure should stay away from soft, flexible PVC products (e.g. vinyl shower curtains, floor tiles, and children's toys).
The PETA versus SVSU conflict is given a balanced presentation. However, it could have been better and more interesting if the story had further explored the larger question about non-animal testing methods. To provide greater depth into the issue would have informed readers about why other methods couldn't be used for this particular research. One way to do this would be to include the viewpoint of a third party who doesn't have a stake in the dispute.

I took Dustin's Fairy Bear and snipped of her wings (poor thing) and cut off her leg...Oh my, this is sounding horrible. I put her leg back on in a dance pose...painted her fingernails and popped it up a few times. Now I know she is 18....but i am...ummmmmm.....40 (yes, I said it out loud), and I love Dustins images....so, use Dustins Images or whatever makes you happy!
Here is what he said on his blog
" there is a young lady in my daughter's dance studio 18 yrs old, Just a few months ago she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis
She had lost her eyesight in one eye temporarily but it has since returned. Her family is awesome, her younger sister is my youngest's best friend at dance. On June 21st we have a swim party for the dance studio at a local pool, I would like to give her a box full of cards from all over the world that night. It's almost a month away and right now I can't give you all a set or a few digi's for doing it til I get these 3 books finished. but later I could. I know it's a lot to ask for some and others not so much. Her name is McKenzie, now I know my stamps aren't mostly for 18 yr old girls, so any card, any stamp will do, one card from everyone who could do it might just make her day, she's been struggling since dance is everything to her. If you'd like you can send them to me, My address is
Dustin Pike
2486 N 890 WClinton, Utah 84015
if you'd like to wait I will see if they can't be sent to the studio, but we are one a 3 week dance break (well deserved I might add) and so I don't know if they'd just sit there, so if you'd like send them to me and I will collect them all then find a neat way to give them to her at he party...There was a dance she was in as well as most of the studio titled "Stand By Me" and they dedicated the dance to her at every competition we did since learning what she had, I don't know if that will inspire anyone in the card making process, but if you could do this I would be really grateful."
Thank you all for the gift of love to those that have touched your heart....PAss it on!

Forensic Science: Grand Goals, Tragic Flaws, and Judicial Gatekeeping
University of Akron Legal Studies Research Paper No. 06-19
Judges Journal, Vol. 44, No. 16, Fall 2006
18 Pages Posted: 12 Feb 2007
First, this article exhaustively but briefly reviews the variety of forensic sciences and the bases (sometimes little more than assumptions) on which they rest - drawing a major distinction between those that assert the ability to individualize crime scene evidence to its one and only source (and which, ironically, do so without applying any basic science) and those which do not assert individualization (and which generally are applications of basic sciences). Second, the article discusses the problem recognized by the Supreme Court of analytical gaps between available data and the opinions of some experts, and the widespread manifestation of such gaps in the identification/individualization subfields of forensic science. Third, the article assumes that most judges most of the time will admit most such evidence regardless of the commands of the Daubert trilogy and the rules of evidence, and offers practical suggestions about what judges might do to improve their management of such testimony and to protect factfinders from the most misleading claims and unsupportable opinions, while still admitting the testimony into evidence.

NHL CapsulesNHL.com @NHLdotcom
PITTSBURGH, Pa. - Pascal Dupuis scored twice and Evgeni Malkin had a goal in his return to the lineup, leading the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 4-0 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night for their 14th straight win.
Chris Kunitz had a goal and an assist and Sidney Crosby had two assists to push his league-best points total to 56 as the Penguins moved within three victories of its own NHL record for consecutive wins. Malkin, back from an upper-body injury, got his first goal in three weeks.
Tomas Vokoun had 20 saves and his first assist while getting his 50th career shutout.
Al Montoya, making just his fourth start of the season, made 39 saves for Winnipeg but the Jets were no match for the NHL's hottest team.
The league record for consecutive wins was set by the Mario Lemieux-led Penguins in 1992-93. Pittsburgh hosts the New York Islanders on Saturday and Buffalo next Tuesday. If the Penguins win those games, they'll head to New York to face the Rangers on April 3 with a chance to tie the mark.
OTTAWA (AP) ? Ben Bishop turned aside 24 shots to earn his second career NHL shutout, leading Ottawa to a win over New York.
Andre Benoit, Guillaume Latendresse and Colin Greening scored for the Senators, and Mika Zibanejad and Chris Neil chipped in with two assists apiece.
Henrik Lundqvist made 26 saves for the Rangers.
When the Senators finally relieved the pressure after about a minute, they went down ice and Latendresse beat Lundqvist with a low shot from the faceoff circle. Greening scored into an empty net with just over two minutes to play.
ST. LOUIS (AP) ??? Mike Richards scored the go-ahead goal with 2:43 to play, Jonathan Quick made 20 saves and Los Angeles continued its dominance of St. Louis.
Dustin Brown had a goal and an assist, and Trevor Lewis and Justin Williams also scored for the Kings. Jarret Stoll assisted on Lewis' goal, giving him 100 with Los Angeles.
The win gives the Kings only their second sweep of a season series against St. Louis after first doing it in 2005-06. Los Angeles has beaten the Blues eight straight times, including a 4-0 sweep in last season's Western Conference semifinals.
Vladimir Tarasenko scored both goals and Jaroslav Halak made 36 saves for the Blues.
TORONTO (AP) ??? Joffrey Lupul scored the go-ahead goal with 3:10 remaining, helping Toronto hold off a Carolina comeback and beat the Hurricanes.
Lupul raced past Joe Corvo and beat Justin Peters for his seventh goal this season.
Jay McClement sealed it with his sixth of the season on an empty-netter with 45 seconds to go before Nikolai Kulemin added his sixth with 3 seconds left ??? also into an empty net.
Tyler Bozak, Cody Franson and Dion Phaneuf also scored for Toronto.
Eric Staal, Jordan Staal and Alexander Semin scored for the Hurricanes, who rallied from a 2-0 hole for a 3-2 lead early in the third before extending their winless streak to seven games.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) ??? Radim Vrbata had two goals and an assist, Rostislav Klesla added four assists and Phoenix scored six times in the opening period to cruise to a win over Nashville.
Martin Hanzal, David Moss, Matthew Lombardi, Keith Yandle and Antoine Vermette also scored for the Coyotes, who snapped a seven-game losing streak ????????? thanks to their big first period that included five goals in a span of 6:40.
The Coyotes' seven goals were just one short of the number they had in the entirety of their skid. Phoenix has 10 goals the last two nights after being outscored 16-5 in the previous six games.
David Legwand, Rich Clune, Gabriel Bourque, and Shea Weber scored for Nashville.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) ????????? Colin McDonald scored two goals, Josh Bailey tallied the clinching score in the shootout and New York beat Philadelphia for its fourth straight road win.
John Tavares also scored for the Islanders, who improved to 10-4-1 away from home this season to pull into a tie with the Rangers for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
Scott Hartnell scored twice and Mike Knuble also had a goal for the Flyers, who blew a two-goal lead while falling further out of the playoff hunt. Philadelphia last missed the playoffs in 2007.
The Isles, who last made the playoffs in 2007, dominated the final two periods of regulation after falling behind 2-0 in the first.
SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) ????????? Jonathan Huberdeau and Mike Santorelli scored in the shootout to lift Florida to a win over Buffalo.
Santorelli got the winner for the Panthers, while Jason Pominville scored for Buffalo.
Shawn Matthias had two goals in regulation, and Jonathan Huberdeau and Tomas Fleischmann also scored for the Panthers, who snapped a three-game losing streak. Jacob Markstrom made 36 saves.
Marcus Foligno, Drew Stafford, Andrej Sekera and Nathan Gerbe scored for the Sabres, and Ryan Miller stopped 36 shots.
