Nasdaq OMX Group (NASDAQ:NDAQ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission are reportedly trying to hammer out a settlement tied to technical glitches that marred Facebook's (NASDAQ:FB) mega initial public offering last year.
Continue Reading Below
According to The Wall Street Journal, any settlement between the two sides is likely to include a monetary penalty and current talks have centered around a fine of approximately $5 million.
Facebook's highly-anticipated IPO in May 2012 was clouded by Nasdaq's botched handling of the IPO, causing mass confusion, a 30-minute delay in the start of trading and generating about $500 million in losses for investors and brokers.
The SEC has only once before fined an exchange, slapping Big Board parent NYSE Euronext (NYSE:NYX) with a $5 million fine last year related to the release of information of market data to some clients faster than others.
Senior SEC officials have expressed hope that the agency can cement a deal with the parent of the Nasdaq Stock Market by the summer, the Journal reported. Additional talks include whether Nasdaq has adequate controls over its systems, further sanctions and steps to prevent future glitches, the paper said.
New York-based Nasdaq declined to comment. A spokesman from the exchange told the paper: "We continue to believe we acted appropriately and in the best interests of investors under challenging circumstances."
The SEC also needs to approve potential payout plans by Nasdaq to reimburse investors hurt by the Facebook IPO errors.
Shares of Nasdaq dropped 0.52% to $28.66 Wednesday morning, trimming their 2013 gain to just under 15%.

They say Chuckie got beats, but his bars can be better
Well if you gon' suck my dick, make it wetter
Odds against Che is slaughtered

Niggas smoking with your daughters
You ain't getting beats until I see commas
Niggas act up, there's finna be problems

September 28, 1990
To: Vice Presidents, Deans, Directors, Department
From: President Gail Fullerton
Subject: Accommodation For Disabled Students
It is the purpose of this Presidential Directive to assurethat San José State University continues to comply with all Federal and State legislation and California State University policies regarding the provision of services to students with disabilities.
This Presidential Directive has been developed in response to Section 504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973; State ofCalifornia ACR 201 (1976); ACR 3 (1985); A8746 (1987); and California State University AAES 89-07 "Policy for the Provision of Services to Students with Disabilities."
Since 1972 the University has had a Disabled Student Services Program that provides counseling and support services for students who have physical, emotional, learning and other verified disabilities. To assist the University in making reasonable accommodations, Disabled Student Services provides diagnostic assessment, reader services, specialized test taking arrangements, transcription services, specialized tutoring services, and both note-takers and sign-language interpreters. In addition, Disabled Student Services provides disability related counseling and advising, and access to computers and other technological assistance adapted to disabilities.
In San José State University's provision of services to students with disabilities the guiding principle is that of "reasonable accommodation": that is, the University is required to make
adjustments to the known physical and mental limitations of otherwise qualified disabled students, unless it can be demonstrated that a particular adjustment or alteration would impose undue hardship on the operation of the program or course curriculum. The intent is to "level the playing field," not to guarantee the outcome of the student's educational endeavor.
The University views the provision of reasonable accommodation as a cooperative effort, involving faculty, staff, and students.
- It is the responsibility of students with disabilities to do the following:
- Identify themselves and provide verification of their disability to Disabled Student Services.
- Providetesting and evaluation results dated no more than three years prior to the date on which the student requests accommodation for learning disabilities.
- Consult with Disabled Student Services regarding specific accommodation requests.
- Take, in a timely manner, the recommendations of Disabled Student Services for accommodation to the office or faculty member from whom accommodation or support services are requested.
- Abide by departmental, school, and University policies and academic regulations, as all students are expected to do.
- It is the responsibility of Disabled Student Services to do the following:
- Keep confidential records for each disabled student.
- Provide disability-related counseling and advising.
- Provide access, where feasible, to computers and other technological adaptations to disabilities.
- Identify and recommend reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities, including verified learning disabilities.
- It is the responsibility of academic departments to do the following:
- Faculty members are to make reasonable accommodation for students with disabilities, including verified learning disabilities.
- Faculty members should consult with the Director of Disabled Student Services regarding specific recommendations for accommodation for an individual student, particularly if special test-taking procedures or adaptations for testing are involved.
- Faculty members, in consultation with their Department Chair, are to determine whether the recommended accommodation is reasonable, or if it demonstrably would impose undue hardship on the operation of the program or course curriculum.
- The Department Chair is to keep a confidential record of all accommodations recommended by Disabled Student Services and made for students with disabilities.
Conflict Resolution:
Students with disabilities who wish to appeal a denial of requested accommodation should first employ informal means to resolve the conflict, by consulting with the academic department or other office involved and with Disabled Student Services. If an informal resolution is not possible, the student may meet with the University Ombudsman to determine the appropriateness of a formal appeal to the Student Grievance Committee or the Academic Fairness Committee.

Never fear though. You just need to make some new cookies, and that's as easy as going to the page that's stuck in the past and clicking "refresh." Sometimes it may take a couple of times for the refresh to throw out those old cookies, but usually one click will do the trick.
So if one day everyone starts talking about the awesome picture on the front page of FaithWriters, and you can't see it, just go to that page and click refresh and all should be revealed. (But don't bother trying it now because there isn't really any awesome picture on the front page--honest.)

Big Lake Man Dies In Cabin Construction Accident
HIBBING (AP) — A Big Lake man has died in a construction accident at a cabin near Hibbing.
The St. Louis County sheriff's office says it received a report shortly before 5:30 p.m. Saturday of a person trapped beneath a building in Lavell Township, about 15 miles southeast of Hibbing in northeastern Minnesota.
Sgt. James McKenzie says several people were trying to fix the foundation to make it level when a beam collapsed, trapping 45-year-old Randy Sayler beneath the cabin.
An arriving officer was able to extricate Sayler by cutting a hole in the floor of the cabin, but Sayler died at the scene.

The prospects for a bill in 2001, considered a long shot at best by many observers, got even muddier this week after some comments at a press conference held by Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota.
Daschle, who poked and prodded the Senate Agriculture Committee for weeks until it finally produced a farm bill in late November, seemed to be giving up on passing a farm bill before Congress adjourns for the year.
At least that's what Rep. Larry Combest, the chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, accused him of saying during the press conference.
"Three weeks' delay after their Committee writes a farm bill, and now only after some speeches, Senate Democrat Majority Leader Tom Daschle reveals there will not be a farm bill this week, and he will not cooperate with the House to complete a farm bill this year," Combest said.
"For the Senate to delay passage of the farm bill and then not complete their job is like shining up the tractor, driving up to the edge of the field and stalling the engine. It is incredible that the Majority Leader, who represents a state heavily dependent on farming, would abandon producers and leave them to depend on what he admits is 'a very narrow window' to send the farm bill to the president."
Combest asked why Daschle wasn't "working around the clock to pass a Senate bill and rapidly complete a conference this year? Apparently, Senator Daschle is content to leave farmers stuck in the limbo for months to come."
But the transcript of Daschle's comments didn't necessarily support Combest's allegations.
Here's what Daschle said in response to a question about the potential loss of the $73.5 billion in new farm bill funding for the next 10 years if a bill is not signed into law this year:
"I don't think it is necessarily gone as soon as we come back (for the new year)," Daschle said. "But it's gone, of course, as soon as the budget process gets under way. So I think we've got a very narrow window, which is one of the main reasons why we're trying to complete our work, at least in the Senate, on the bill before we leave."
Later, a spokesman for Daschle tried to clear up the confusion with this comment:
"I can tell you what he intended to say," said Jay Carson, Daschle's press aide. "It is still his goal to get a farm bill passed through conference and to the president's desk before the end of the year."
Whether that happens is almost a function of the number of working days that remain in 2001. At one point, the Senate planned to adjourn Dec. 14. But Sen. Tom Harkin, the chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, said he thought senators would be willing to work until Christmas "if that's what it takes to get a farm bill."
One possible scenario is that the Senate will begin debate on its farm bill on Tuesday, pass a bill and send it to a conference committee of House and Senate members who will attempt to reconcile their respective bills. If the committee acts quickly and the House and Senate pass the conference report, a farm bill could be on the president's desk by Christmas.
If the conference committee process becomes drawn out, the conferees could continue to work through Christmas and into January even if the House and Senate adjourned. The key would be having the House and Senate approve a conference report and the president sign a bill before the Congressional Budget Office issues a new baseline in early February.
All that speculation assumes that the Senate can agree on a farm bill, that conference members can agree on a compromise bill and that the President will sign the bill. So far, the odds on all of those events falling into place have not appeared to be good.
But some veteran farm bill observers are beginning to see a glimmer of hope.
"A week ago, I would have thought there was a 20 percent chance we would have a farm bill this year," said a farm organization executive. "Today (Thursday), I think it's closer to 55-45. I'm seeing people do some amazing things to try to keep this process on track."

In a game that was expected to be a battle of "small-ball" teams, Florida flipped the power switch to "on" Friday night.
In a game that was expected to be a battle of "small-ball" teams, Florida flipped the power switch to "on" Friday night.
The Gators blasted a season-high three home runs in handling Tennessee 7-2 in the opening game of a three-game series as 3,864 watched at McKethan Stadium.
"I haven't seen three balls go out of the park in awhile," said UF sophomore Taylor Gushue, who had one of the homers. "That brought back some old memories."
Florida is now 24-19 and 11-8 in the SEC. Tennessee is 17-23 and 5-14.
The Gators have now won 10 of their last 11 games, including eight straight at home. Florida has won 12 of the last 14 against Tennessee.
The game had a scary moment when Florida starter Danny Young was hit in the face by a line drive off the bat of Vincent Jackson. Young was flat on his stomach for a couple of minutes before walking off the field under his own power. He was holding a towel to his mouth after suffering a cut to his lip and was taken to Shands Hospital for stitches.
"I think we dodged a bullet there," Florida coach Kevin O'Sullivan said. "I think he's going to be all right." Before he was literally knocked out of the game, Young (3-3) gave Florida the start it needed with Jonathon Crawford unable to pitch. Crawford turned his left ankle in practice Thursday and is expected to pitch Saturday night. "He probably could have pitched, but we didn't want to take any chances," O'Sullivan said. Young pitched a career-high 5 2/3 innings to register the win. He scattered six hits and was helped by two double plays turned by the Florida infield. "Danny has a lot of fight in him," Gushue said. Justin Shafer started the power surge for the Gators by leading off the bottom of the second with his fourth homer of the year, a solo shot that barely climbed over the left-field wall over the glove of a leaping Jackson. "I thought he caught it," Shafer said. "Nobody was signaling anything. He got up there really high." In the third, the Gators rocked Tennessee starter Aaron Quillen (1-3). Richie Martin singled home a run, and after a single by Casey Turgeon, the hot-hitting Gushue drilled a three-run homer to right. It was his fifth of the year. "I wanted to be aggressive," Gushue said. "I wanted to go after the first strike I could handle, see it high and put a good swing on it." In the fifth inning, Turgeon hit a towering homer to right, tying Gushue for the team lead with his fifth of the year. "It had a lot of backspin on it," Turgeon said. "But it also had the (favoring) wind." Gushue followed with a double to left-center, and Shafer drove him home with his 17th double of the year to knock Quillen out of the game. Shafer leads the SEC in doubles. "We've done a good job hitting with two strikes all year, but one area where we needed to improve was doing some damage in hitter's counts," O'Sullivan said. "We did a good job." Young kept working out of trouble, including a misplayed line drive in center by Martin that gave Ethan Bennett a triple. The only inning where Young didn't allow a baserunner was his final inning. The ball that hit Young ricocheted to third baseman Josh Tobias, who threw out Jackson. Aaron Rhodes got the final out of the sixth. He missed first base on a routine grounder to first in the seventh and gave up a high-bouncing double to Will Maddox. But after Rhodes struck out A.J. Simcox, Parker Danciu came in to get Scott Price on a grounder. Danciu also pitched a scoreless eighth before giving way to Tucker Simpson, who gave up Tennessee's only runs in the ninth.

Some 28 hours remain until baseball's non-waiver trade deadline, and the chatter across the industry centers on Cliff Lee. He is the best available player — yes, he is available — and most speculation ties him to Boston.
The Red Sox crave pitching in an ultra-competitive American League East. They saved money last summer when they dumped most of their bad contracts on the Los Angeles Dodgers. They were frugal this past winter and built a powerful team by adding complimentary players.
They possess a strong farm system, led by infield prospect Xander Bogaerts. One scout who has intimate knowledge of Boston's minor-league system labeled Bogaerts "a clear bit above everyone else." It's not hard to see why. He is 20 years old and has adapted without a hitch at triple A. Baseball America ranked him the game's eighth-best prospect entering 2013. His status has only risen since then.
Imagine a left side of the infield of Bogaerts and Maikel Franco.
Lee is owed some $70 million over the next three seasons. He is one of the National League's best pitchers. He has never suffered an elbow or shoulder injury. He is 34, and no, he is not getting any younger.
But if Ruben Amaro Jr. does not receive what he wants in the next 28 hours, he can keep Lee. The trade discussions can be revisited in the wintertime or next July, when any acquiring team will still have a year-plus of Lee's services. The Phillies believe their best chance at winning in 2014 is with Lee and Cole Hamels atop the rotation. There is no rush to move him, unless the return is right.
As the three previous trades involving Lee show, obtaining fair value for the ace pitcher is difficult. The Phillies acquired him for Carlos Carrasco, Lou Marson, Jason Donald and Jason Knapp in 2009. None of those players are currently in the majors.
When Amaro dealt Lee to Seattle, he fetched Tyson Gillies, Phillippe Aumont and J.C. Ramirez. That package is nothing less than a massive disappointment.
Seattle flipped Lee to Texas for Justin Smoak, Blake Beavan, Josh Lueke and Matthew Lawson. Beavan and Lueke are middling relievers in the majors. Smoak has never lived up to his promise as a slugging first baseman.
If Bogaerts is in the discussion, the Phillies could also look at pitcher Brandon Workman. They drafted him in the third round of the 2007 draft but did not reach an agreement. Boston selected him in the second round of the 2010 draft.
Outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. and pitcher Henry Owens are Boston's other top prospects besides Bogaerts. But the 20-year-old infielder is the key to any deal.

Natural gas expansion plan for state businesses, residences approved
The state Public Utilities Regulatory Authority on Friday announced a decision enabling expansion of natural gas service to residents and businesses.
The state's three gas companies applied for approval to convert 280,000 customers to natural gas over the next 10 years. The plans target customers within 150 feet of an existing main but not yet connected, as well as potential customers who are off-main but can cost-effectively convert, PURA said in a news release.
PURA said its ruling eases the viability criteria gas companies use to evaluate projects and lengthens payback periods to reduce upfront costs required from new customers connecting to the gas distribution system. It also introduces a "portfolio" approach to gas extensions in which 60 percent of the customers needed to make a project viable must commit to gas service before construction starts. This change will allow more customers to cost-effectively connect, PURA said.
The decision also establishes new rate and cost recovery mechanisms. Customers added after Jan. 1 will be charged a monthly premium over current rates to offset incremental costs of expansion, in lieu of making a one-time upfront payment to cover connection costs. On-main customers added after Jan. 1 will pay a 10-year, 10 percent premium on the distribution component of standard rates, while off-main customers added after that day will pay a 10-year, 30 percent premium on the distribution component of standard rates. The distribution component of rates averages between 40 percent and 60 percent of the overall monthly bill. After the initial 10 years of service, new customers return to standard rates. Some customers, such as those far from the main or with complex construction requirements, may still incur upfront costs.
A new law passed in the most recent legislative session directed Connecticut Natural Gas, the Southern Connecticut Gas Co. and Yankee Gas Services Co. to file the infrastructure expansion plans consistent with goals of the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection's Comprehensive Energy Strategy released in February. The gas companies finalized and submitted modified proposals with PURA on July 26.
CNG and Southern plan to convert 29,500 customers to gas heat, add 113,700 new on-main customers and 54,000 new off-main customers by 2023. Yankee proposes to convert 10,000 customers to gas heat, add 41,296 new on-main customers and 31,125 off-main customers by 2023.

{the Secret Place}
an inspirational entry about truth and healing
I want to tell you about a friend of mine named Autumn.
She's a beautiful African-American college student who just recently made the dean's list. Her life consists of many common things: school, work, friends, and studying. On the outside, she looks like a thriving 20-something woman.
But there's something in the corner of her soul that she's kept secret for almost a year.
Autumn was raped. And not by a stranger, but by a friend.
It shouldn't have happened to her. Going to a friend's house to watch a movie seemed like such a normal thing. Society tells us to expect danger and harm while walking down a dark street alone, not in a safe place with someone she knew.
But things got difficult when he started touching her, and then tried to kiss her, as she pushed him away. When she refused to have sex with him, it made him angry. So he raped her.
It is the same scene shocking statistics tell us is played out every two minutes in America, alone.
Autumn told me that getting over the rape was hard but what was worse was the shame that came from it. Shame convinced her that people would blame her or wouldn't believe her. She decided it was better to lock this piece of life up for a very long time.
But Autumn has decided that she doesn't want to be overcome by shame anymore.
She hears the voice of God say to her:
This was not your fault. [1Corithians 5: 1,5]
I see your pain. [Psalm 34:18]
You are not alone. [Isaiah 41:10]
Autumn's story inspires me to understand the truth: what was meant for evil, God can use for good. [Romans 8:28] Sometimes, I just don't get why things happen the way they do. It doesn't seem right -- no one should have to go through this.
But as I type this out I cannot help but think that...
Maybe today someone else will read this story and unlock a secret. Maybe today a woman will open herself to God who will speak these same comforting truths to her heart and she will begin healing. Maybe today a life will be changed forever because of the willingness of one girl to share her story with others.
Maybe today. Maybe you.
The She Seeks Team wants you to know that if you have been a victim of a sexual assault we want to cover you in prayer today. If you don't feel comfortable leaving a comment please email us at email@example.com and a team member will contact you.
Just like Autumn wanted to help you with sharing her story, there are so many people who would love to walk beside of you through the process of healing from a sexual assault. Below you will find a list of ministry's and help-lines that are available to you free of charge.

GREENWICH, Conn. — A Greenwich man charged with possession of hundreds of images of child pornography has resigned from his position on the town's Representative Town Meeting board, according to News 12.
Christopher N. Sandys, 46, was arrested last Thursday and charged with one count of child pornography after officers discovered 750 images of child pornography on his computer, police said.
The U.S. Air Force Academy graduate, who strongly supported Donald Trump in his presidential run, was a conservative member of Greenwich's Representative Town Meeting, He posted $100,000 bond after appearing in court Friday and was released. He returns to court Jan. 19.
During his arrest, two Greenwich police officers pointed their rifles at Sandys as he tried to run down a hallway of his home after the officers had burst into his residence with a search warrant looking for child pornography, according to the search warrant.
Sandys then complied with requests from the officers to stop and lie down on the floor of his LeGrande Avenue residence Thursday morning, the warrant said.
After officers seized Sandys's three handguns and shotgun, police said. After they determined the area was safe for officers, they took the handcuffs off Sandys, police said.
He was allowed to dress, use the bathroom, drink two glasses of water and smoke half a cigarette, according to the police document.
When officers asked Sandys whether he wanted to speak with them about the allegations against him, he said, "he did not want to be rude" but said he would exercise his right to remain silent, police said.
On his Facebook page and Twitter account both of which are no longer public, Sandys expressed his support of Trump and ridiculed liberal figures such as broadcaster Keith Olberman. He also had posted a Youtube video when he spoke against plans for the New Lebanon School during an RTM meeting.
According to the warrant, the investigation into Sandys began Aug. 31 when a state investigator accessed a "peer to peer" network where files are traded among individuals. The investigator downloaded 1,337 of suspected child pornography between Aug. 31 and Sept. 3 from the computer belonging to what they eventually found to be Sandys' IP address, police said.
Three of the images involved girls who were no more than 7 years old and possibly as young as 2 performing sex acts on men, according to police.
He is divorced and has a teenage child, according to the police information.
His phone number was not in service during attempts to reach him, and he did not respond to an email.
A message to Belpointe Asset Management where Sandys worked as a portfolio manger was not returned. Articles he had written as a Belpointe employee and his biography that was on Belpointe's site were available Thursday, but they had all been removed on Friday.

Assignment: After bin Laden: What's next?
iREPORTS FILED
iREPORTERS SIGNED UP
Created May 1, 2011 by
Osama bin Laden is dead, President Obama announced Sunday night in an address from the White House. U.S. forces have hunted bin Laden for nearly 10 years following the September 11, 2001, attacks his al Qaeda organization claimed responsibility for.
The events of September 11 sparked the declaration of a War on Terrorism, which was a potent justification for many U.S. military actions around the globe over the past decade. Now that the mastermind of the September 11 attacks has been brought to justice, is it time for the United States to reconsider our diplomatic and military commitments abroad? In the coming years, how should the U.S. best fight terrorism, especially in light of the recent secular revolutions in the Middle East and North Africa? Are you hoping to see any major changes in America's foreign policy?
Please put your concise thoughts on video and you could be part of CNN's coverage.

WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — A champion arm wrestler from Massachusetts has been convicted in the death of his wife, who jumped out of a window to escape him.
Forty-one-year-old Allen Stilkey of Worcester (WUS'-tur) was convicted Monday of manslaughter. His wife, Lisa, jumped from a second-floor window of their home in February during what authorities said was a violent argument.
Prosecutors say Stilkey threatened to kill his wife first. They say he had recently taken out a $250,000 life insurance policy on her.
Stilkey's lawyer maintains his client was not responsible for his wife's death.
The Telegram & Gazette (http://bit.ly/VMRgh1) reports that both sides agree that the couple were having marital and financial problems, and the fight began after they had been drinking heavily.
Stilkey, who took first place in his weight class at the American Armsport Association's 2010 national championships, faces sentencing Friday.

The problem is that we do not see the cell, now. The most we can do is to see if we could identify byproducts of the processes of life. Striving to "fail to prove the absence" of life as we know it, if you'd like to call it that way. And for that purpose any kind of "short term immigrant" life is bad.

Tennessee coach Derek Dooley took the podium during Thursday's first session at Southeastern Conference Media Days in Hoover, Ala.
Dooley talked about, among other things, the importance of finally having a "settled roster," how it's been a tough four years for the Vols' program, the areas where he hopes to improve and specific players he expects to contribute this season.
Here is the transcript from Dooley's interview on Thursday:
COACH DOOLEY: Appreciate you guys coming. As if these three days weren't painful enough, we added a couple more of us to put a little hot air into it.
Third year, third Media Day. I told some of the guys earlier that I feel better today about where we are as a program than at any point since I've been in Knoxville, and I mean that. And probably the number one reason for that is for the first time we have a settled roster. Our roster's in place. We have a full 85 on scholarship, we have 19 starters back, so we have a lot of experience.
I think a microcosm of what we've been through, where we were, where we are now, you look at the offensive line. Two years ago when I was standing here, we were going into a season with a combined three starts, and now we're going in with a combined 106. You look at the quarterback position. We went in with a group that hadn't played one SEC game. Now we got a group that's played in 20. So that level of experience really gives you a lot of hope.
We're certainly deeper than we've been. It's so important to be deep and talented because you can't allow an injury or two that happens to every team decimates your season. We're certainly more talented in many ways. Actually getting talked about in some of the all SEC pre‑season stuff.
But probably the biggest thing is the maturity level of the team. I've really been proud of the work that these guys have put in from a team chemistry, from a leadership standpoint, just a lot more emotional maturity than we've had. So this group has been fun to be around.
It's been a tough four years in Tennessee. I know, of course, the SEC has enjoyed taking advantage of our tough times. But there's a nice mood on our team right now that you're not going to have Tennessee to kick around anymore.
So I'm excited about the season and I feel like we got a team that can go toe‑to‑toe for four quarters with all the teams in our league. It certainly doesn't mean we've arrived, it certainly doesn't mean we're where we want to be at every position.
I made the statement to our local media, it's kind of that song, A little less conversation and a little more action, so we have to go out and prove it, and that's what we intend to do this year.
THE MODERATOR: We'll open it up for questions to Coach Dooley.
Q. What is one of the things that you're most looking to improve on from last season?
COACH DOOLEY: Well, we need to improve on just about everything, because we really weren't good at anything.
Certainly on offense, it starts with the run game. We have absolutely no chance to compete for an SEC title if we run it the way we ran it last year. Put a big commitment in the spring on improving that area.
I think on defense, of course, I felt like we needed to be a lot more aggressive to impact the game in a positive way. We had some respectable statistics in some areas, but I never felt like we impacted the game from a negative play standpoint, from a turnover standpoint, from a sack standpoint. We're going to try to be a little more aggressive on defense. Got to run the ball better on offense. We have to play well across the board on the other areas, too. But those have been the two big points of emphasis.
Q. Tiny Richardson is about to be put in a position of enormous responsibility on the O‑line. Where are the areas he progressed quickest and where would you like to see him put in some more improvement between now and September?
COACH DOOLEY: Well, what set Antonio back was he was hurt last year. He came in last season where we felt like he was going to be able to help us was a true freshman, he missed the first six weeks. It's very difficult on the offensive line to make up that ground that he lost. But he came in this spring and was further along than I anticipated from a knowledge standpoint, from a dependability standpoint.
What Tiny brings is he has incredible energy. He just walks in that huddle and energizes the place. He has great leadership capabilities. So his presence is not only felt in his abilities to block, but it's also felt in the huddle. So he's been a good addition for me.
He certainly has a long way to go. He hasn't been out in the fire. He hasn't been sitting there on third and eight and have one of the top pass‑rushers in college football coming at him. He's going to have some growing pains.
He's not the first freshman we played. We played 32 true freshmen the last two years, so he's a wily veteran as a sophomore.
Q. What did losing Tyler last year do to the morale of your team? What does it mean to have him back at full strength year?
COACH DOOLEY: Well, I think the cumulative effect‑‑ we lost Herman Lathers before the season, then we lost Justin the third game of the season, Justin Hunter, then we lost Tyler the fifth game of the season. Those were three of our most I guess talented, publicized players. I think it had a bad impact on us. Our spirit was broken.
You know what, as the head coach, that was my responsibility. I probably didn't do as good a job as I needed to do keeping that together.
I think the important thing is you get a deep and talented football team to where you don't lose a guy or two and it decimates your season. We had some good teams in our league that lost great players and they didn't skip a beat. That's what you're going to have to do in this league, because you're going to have injuries.
Did it affect us? Absolutely. Did it affect us a little more than it probably should have? I think that's fair to say.
Q. Why is Jay Graham a guy you targeted to bring to your staff and how did you get him there?
COACH DOOLEY: When I looked at Jay, the better question is, Why wouldn't you want him? First of all, he's a Vol. Has an incredible history as a runner. One of the best of all time in Tennessee. You watch what he did at South Carolina for Coach Spurrier. He did a great job recruiting. He did a great job of developing a young back.
Then when you meet him, just an incredible man. Great character, integrity, fun to be around, good energy. So he's been a welcomed addition to the staff.
Q. What does it mean for your program to play in a high‑profile game like the Chick‑Fil‑A Classic?
COACH DOOLEY: The first game. Well, it's why you come to Tennessee. You want to play in these kind of games. It's a great way to kick off the season. We're playing an opponent that's picked to win the ACC by a lot of publications. So it's going to be a good early measure for our football team to see how much improvement we made in the last seven months.
So it's going to be a fun thing. I'm looking forward to it. That's why you come to Tennessee, to play in those kind of games.
Q. Could you talk about the value of Herman Lathers from a leadership standpoint, especially after everything he's gone through.
COACH DOOLEY: Herman is such a great presence for our football team for a lot of reasons. Obviously he has a great story. When he was younger, the cancer he fought and went through. Then he gets what he thinks is his senior year ruined last year by getting hurt. But not just overcoming those injuries, it's the level of commitment that he showed to be the best player he could be, and also be a great team leader. He's extremely committed to having a great season, but also this team to have a great season. That has permeated throughout the team.
I think guys like Herman, they have an ability to affect others and create more leadership on the team. We're glad to have him. I hope he stays healthy for us. I'm looking forward to having him have a big year.
Q. You're receiving group is supposed to be probably one of the best groups in the country. Do you see what Tyler, the passing game, kind of carrying you early on, then establishing the running game, in that order?
COACH DOOLEY: Let me address that a couple ways. First the receiving core. It's getting a lot of publicity. That's a good thing. Means we have some talent there. We really only have one guy that's gone through 12 games and been productive in the league. So we have a lot to prove. Justin flashing great things for us, but he only played three games. All the other guys are new. We have some ability, but we haven't really proven we can do it. That's what we are set out to do.
As far as whether the pass sets up the run, the run sets up the pass, it really doesn't matter. What matters is you're able to do both when you wanted to do both. Everybody does it differently. We have to figure out what works for us.
Q. I talked to Coach Gene Stallings yesterday about the four‑team playoff. He's not in favor of it. I wanted to get your thoughts on maybe how it should be structured. Have you talked to your father about that?
COACH DOOLEY: It's interesting you say that because he was pushing a plus‑one 20 years ago. We don't call it a plus‑one, but it's one more game.
I think it has taken all the good things that we've done with the BCS, and there's been some great things. It gets beat on, but there's been some matchups that we never would have seen the last 15 years. Done that extra step to really polish up some of the challenges we've been facing.
I commend the leadership of our conferences, the BCS, to making that step. So I think it's going to be a healthy thing for college football. Of course, the biggest thing I always worry about, because I grew up in this league, is the fans. It makes it at little more challenging. If you're a Tennessee fan, any of the other fans, you got the SEC game, the semi, the national, that's your biggest concern.
With all this expansion stuff, everything that's going on, how do we help the fans, you know. I mean, there's a lot of talk about the nine‑game deal, which I've been for because, again, that familiarity, the fans. We don't want to lose what made this game special, we don't want to lose what makes this league special.
Q. What have you seen from Tyler Bray? What kind of off‑the‑field stuff has he done to improve as a quarterback?
COACH DOOLEY: I think just his investment in being good off the field. A lot of things go into that. It's how you work when you come to the facility, whether it's how you're training in the weight room, going out there and throwing with the wideouts, the film study you're doing by yourself. It's also your leadership when you're here. How much are you affecting the other guys on the team to put in the kind of work you're putting in.
I think that was something Tyler wasn't real comfortable with as a young player, of getting the other guys and making a difference in their lives.
Of course, the third thing is sort of a lifestyle change. You have to live as the quarterback at Tennessee. If your lifestyle is not reflecting that, then it's going to be hard to go out and perform to your best.
I've seen a real change in his maturity level. I'm hoping he continues on that path and I'm hoping it will net him some big results this fall.
Q. Talking about the receivers, the new ones, Drae Bowles, what kind of role do you see him playing?
COACH DOOLEY: We don't know. A lot of these freshmen, we haven't had a chance to get down there and put our hands on them, see them move, watch what their strengths are, what they don't bring. Drae has a lot of ability, good character, good size and speed. We'll see where he fits in. So we're not sure right now.
Appreciate you guys.

The first scheduled commercial flight to use synthetic fuel
No dependency on oil: this is the objective of the five research partners who, on Tuesday, 13 October 2009 in Doha, Qatar, signed a cooperation agreement to investigate alternative fuels for use in aviation. Together with the energy company Shell, the technology centre Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP), Texas A&M University at Qatar and the engine manufacturer Rolls Royce plc, the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) will study the use of synthetic fuels that are based on natural gas in a three-year research project.
The first scheduled commercial flight of an Airbus A340-600 from Qatar Airways using GtL (Gas to Liquid) fuel, a high-performance synthetic fuel that is based on natural gas, took off from London Gatwick at 10:15 on 12 October, bound for Qatar. This marked the first time that a regular scheduled flight carrying passengers has used a fuel that is made up of 50 percent GtL synthetic fuel and 50 percent kerosene.
A bridge to 'biofuels'
"The development of GtL fuel is an important step in two directions with respect to aviation," said Prof. Manfred Aigner, Director of DLR's Institute of Combustion Technology. "Together with our partners, we will get to know the characteristics of the new generation of fuel types, develop the necessary tools and thus build an important bridge to 'biofuels', renewable energy sources that are based on biomass. At the same time we will be decreasing our reliance on crude oil with the goal of using totally synthetic fuels in flight," says Prof. Aigner. The resulting lack of dependence on oil will allow the increasing volume of air traffic to continue on its growth path in the future, and means that the use of BtL fuels (biomass to liquid) will soon be attainable.
The synthetic gas-to-liquid fuel is a crucial first step toward the use of alternative fuels in aviation. It is created using the 'Fischer-Tropsch method', named after its inventors, in which natural gas is first converted into a synthetic gas by adding oxygen and water vapour and then to liquid hydrocarbons. The plan is to produce commercial quantities of around one million tons of GtL fuel per year, starting in 2012, in Qatar under the auspices of Shell and Qatar Petroleum. Three research projects have been created within the framework of this investment.
Analysing the characteristics of GtL fuel
In the research project for characterising the combustion characteristics of GtL fuel, the partners will, over a three-year period, improve the new fuel with respect to polluting emissions and performance. DLR's Institute of Combustion Technology in Stuttgart is responsible for analysing the combustion processes and characteristics of the new fuel mixture. The GtL fuel must fulfil well over 50 different criteria to be permitted for use as an aviation fuel - for example, with respect to the ignition point, the tendency to form soot, or the freezing point (the synthetic jet fuel must remain liquid even at ambient air temperatures of minus 47 degrees Celsius). In order to be able to determine all of these characteristics, DLR's scientists will draw on their decades of experience in the area of combustion research and their many years of experience in the field of alternative fuels in particular.
The combustion specialists from DLR will first analyse the GtL fuel – which has already been manufactured by Shell and certified for use in aviation and is now to be optimised - on the combustion test benches in Stuttgart, using various measuring techniques. Taking the measured data from the bench tests, as a next step they develop complex physical and chemical computer models for combustion in aircraft gas turbines, which map the various characteristics of the synthetic fuel. These models will then make it possible to test existing fuels. At the same time they facilitate a crucial steps forwards: a future fuel can be optimised in advance, in a targeted design process. This is particularly interesting for synthetic fuels such as GtL, whose composition can be adjusted as required.
Interdisciplinary combustion research in Stuttgart
With its test bench infrastructure in combination with its competence in the areas of pollutant analysis, measuring technology, modelling of combustion processes, and chemical kinetics, which, for example, studies the ignition behaviour, the flame speed and the release of heat, to computer simulation, DLR's Institute of Combustion Technology in Stuttgart offers a comprehensive approach for determining the optimum future fuel for use in aviation.

In the heart of Sonoma County's wine country, just one hour from San Francisco, visitors flock to the Charles M. Schulz Museum.
Given Schulz's international recognition, the museum could have been built anywhere, but its eventual location was chosen for the special significance it held for Schulz during the last 30 years of his life.
As of December 2008, budding and established cartoonists can sketch throughout the museum's galleries in a custom Moleskine sketchbook, on sale at the museum store.

Watch how to make this recipe.
For the brownies: Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch ceramic or glass baking dish with vegetable oil cooking spray. Line the dish with a 15-inch-square piece of parchment paper, allowing the excess paper to overhang the sides. Spray the parchment paper with vegetable oil cooking spray.
Blend together the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, 1/4 cup water, cinnamon and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Beat the mixture for 1 minute using an electric hand mixer on medium speed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted about 1-inch from the edge of the baking dish comes out clean, 25 to 27 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for 1 hour.
For the buttercream: Place the cream and chocolate chips in a medium bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove the bowl from the pan and refrigerate until thick, 20 minutes. Add the butter and cocoa powder and beat the mixture on high speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Spread the buttercream over the cooled brownie layer. Dust with the cinnamon and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
Lift the brownie layer from the pan, using the excess paper for handles. Run a thin spatula underneath the brownie layer to loosen it from the parchment paper. Cut into 24 brownies and serve.
Cook's Note: The buttercream can be made ahead of time. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Allow the buttercream to come to room temperature for 30 minutes then beat until smooth enough to spread.

South East Cancer Help Centre - Vice Chairman
16/06/2017 16:00:00......Posted by Yvette Hopley
I was extremely pleased to be appointed Vice Chairman of the South East Cancer Help Centre in Purley at its recent board meeting. I chose the centre as one of my charities when I was Mayor of Croydon and now I can have the opportunity to help support this important charity in its work which is supporting many residents of Croydon who rely on the centre for counselling and support.
SECHC aims to give any person affected by cancer an opportunity to explore ways which may help them to cope with their situation. Confidentiality is always maintained. The Centre aims to respect and support them in the choices they make and to provide individual and group support, complementary therapies and information within a friendly, caring environment. These services have local NHS recognition.
Our policy is to provide time and support in addition to that available from healthcare professionals at a notional cost to the Member. We give information but not advice about cancer and its treatment.
Our strategy is to remain a well managed independent charity, staffed predominantly by trained Volunteers, with professional guidance and support. We aim to be well known and respected in our community. We seek to retain sufficient financial reserves to cope with fluctuations in fundraising and grant aid.

Despite numerous emails to the council it appears they are unable to collect the asbestos that has been dumped at the corner of Briton Hill Road and Arkwright Road on the green. This is a hazardous material and needs careful removal by a specialist contractor. Many residents have contacted me worrying about the dust and particles blowing in the wind and young children who may be impacted passing this on the way to school. Other waste has also been deposited in the bins adding to the problem. Whilst the council have promised to send someone to deal with this two weeks have now passed since the arrival of this waste and no apparent action has taken place. I find this quite worrying. Surely this is urgent.
Recycling Boxes
05/09/2018 10:36:00.......Posted by Yvette Hopley
The council have agreed to collect the old recycling boxes from residents who have been given wheelie bins. Once the new collection has started old recycling boxes which have been replaced by larger bins will be taken away.
Residents who want the old recycling box collected should empty them and leave them at the front of their property on Monday 24 September. The lids should be placed inside the empty boxes. The boxes will then be collected over the next two weeks.
All residents should receive their new bins before the collection begins but if this does not happen please continue to use your old bins as you had previously.
75% of homes across the borough now have a new collection day. You can check your collection day online.If your new bins have not yet arrived you can contact our dedicated email address email@example.com or call 020 8604 7282 between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday
How to handle the bin change over
03/09/2018 09:09:00.......Posted by Tim Pollard
The Sanderstead councillors have been in pretty much constant contact with officers over the bin changeover (and the woeful service in the weeks leading up to it).
Today is changeover day and that means you should be putting out the new containers from today. It also means you may well have a different collection day. In theory every resident should have had a leaflet setting out their new schedule, but this clearly hasn't always worked (I didn't get a leaflet in my home, for example).
If you are online you can check your new colection schedule using the Croydon 'My Account', for which you will need to have registered for an account (this is instant, so you can do it now if you haven't already).
I understand that this week Veolia will collect from the old containers if that's what a resident puts out, but that's for this week only. Unfortunately they didn't use that sensible approach last week, when many residents were conned by the hanging tag on their bin the week before telling them to now use the new containers. What the council meant by that was 'in two weeks time you'll use this bin for plastic/cans but next week it's paper in the box as usual', but unfortunately it was not at all clear and as a result many residents put the paper out in the new blue bin, which Veolia duly ignored.
I also brought to officers' attention that the web site was stilll refering in words and pictures for colllecting boxes this week, as nobody had remebered to update that! I believe this has now been corrected.
Unfortunately I suspect that the number of calls is not going to go down - not least because some residents are STILL trying to get the council to deliver their new bins, which are the only thing they will colllect from from now on. It's going to be a fun-filled fortniight!
Waste Services - Change of System
31/08/2018 17:17:00.......Posted by Yvette Hopley
As residents in Sanderstead will be aware the system of collecting are waste and recycling is changing. I have included part of an email from the director of services which may be of help if residents experience problems.
"As with all service changes of this magnitude in the initial weeks of the new service, it is anticipated there will be disruption and missed collections. Veolia have resources in place to ensure this is kept to a minimum. However, residents will be reminded via social media messages and the FAQ section on the website to report any missed collections under the new service via the normal reporting processes or via the postcode lookup page www.croydon.gov.uk/waste-recycling-collection. Please do not use the dedicated telephone lines or the waste services email address.
I have also taken the opportunity of including the link to the council's web site where you can find full details regarding the new service.
I would also like to remind you the dedicated telephone number and email address for residents to contact council officers about their specific circumstances is operational, we have seen a rise in the number of calls over this week, the operator are coping with call volumes but during peak periods of the day residents may find it difficult to get through.
The details for these are:
Update on wheelie bin rollout
17/07/2018 07:46:00.......Posted by Tim Pollard
Council officers have today updated councillors about the progress towards the new 'improved' bin collection service.
Most Sanderstead houses have received their bins now, as we know from our postbag of residents asking where they are supposed to put this explosion of bins! I won't rehearse the arguments for and (mostly) against what is being done, save to say that in my opinion the council could have gone for a much more elegant combined recycling bin solution which would have reduced the number of bins required.
There are various questions people have been asking, where I have pasted below the council's response, some of which I have shortened.
Where can residents go for more information?• The website contains information about the service change, leaflets to download and a comprehensive list of FAQs – www.croydon.gov.uk/recyclingResidents wishing to discuss their individual circumstances further can contact a council officer using:• a dedicated email - firstname.lastname@example.com• a dedicated phone number – 020 8604 7282 (lines open between 9am and 5pm)
The dedicated telephone number and mailbox went live on Thursday 28 June. These are attracting on average 650 calls and 400 email per week and about a third of these are requesting site visits. About 150 site visits have been undertaken to date with approximately one third of these suggesting the properties are not suitable for the new service identified and therefore, will continue with their current configuration.
What can I do with my old boxes if I no longer need them after September?You will need to continue to use your boxes until September. After this, you can keep them and use them around the home for storage, or take them to the Household Reuse and Recycling Centre at Fishers Farm, Factory Lane or Purley Oaks and place them in with the 'rigid plastics'. We will be offering a booked collection service for residents who need it once the new service starts in September - more details to follow.
What if I don't have space for the new bins?We have surveyed the borough and will be delivering the best combination of bins for different property types depending on the different space available. Please note that the footprint of the new bins is approximately the same as the boxes, so if you currently have the boxes for recycling your property will most probably be suitable for wheeled bins. Please try using the service for a few weeks. If you're genuinely struggling to find space to store the bins, get in touch with us and we'll visit your property to assess and, if necessary, make alternative arrangements.
What if I don't have space to store the new bins until I can use them? Please deliver them later.With more than 200,000 new bins to distribute across the borough, this is going to take some time and some people may have to store their bins for up to eight weeks. We are trying to deliver bins first to areas of the borough where houses generally have more outdoor space. We're sorry for any inconvenience.
I don't need such large bins for recycling, can I have a smaller one or continue to use boxes?The changes we are making are designed to encourage more recycling and to create enough capacity for this both now and in the future. For this reason we chose the 240L bin for paper and card and to re-use the existing general waste wheelie bin for other mixed recycling. Standardising the use of wheelie bins as much as possible improves efficiency and helps to generate the £5m cost savings from introducing the new contract, as well as the additional £2m over 10 years for increasing recycling rates.
What if all of my general waste cannot fit inside the new 180L wheelie bin?From October 2018, excess general waste placed on top of or next to your bin will not be collected. All non-recyclable household waste must be placed inside the general waste wheelie bin and the lid kept shut. However, if you live in a household of five or more, or have a medical condition that means you generate additional rubbish, you may be eligible for a larger bin. We recommend that residents wait until the new service is running and they have tried using it for a few weeks before making contact.
What consultation took place about the changes?Specific consultation on the detail of the new contract wasn't possible due to the way the new contract was procured by the four boroughs under the South London Waste Partnership.
Road works in Hamsey Green
17/07/2018 07:23:00.......Posted by Tim Pollard
Essex utilities on behalf of Southern Gas Networks have begun their scheme to replace gas mains in the area between Wentworth Way and the borough boundary at Tithe Pitt Shaw Lane. In order to enable these works there will be side road closures and temporary lights on Limpsfield Road. The lights will be manually controlled through the peak flows. Letter drops and advanced warning for affected residents have apparently taken place. Any works that remain after the school holiday can only continue if their existence has no impact on the carriageway or pedestrians.
Whilst these works are ongoing, it was highlighted recently that it is necessary for other works to take place on Surrey Councils side of the border, namely Wentworth Road junction with Tithe Pitt Shaw Lane. Council officers have agreed these works, on the understanding temporary lights at the junction are delayed until after the works on Limpsfield and surrounding roads are completed.
Sanderstead Residents Association - Waitrose - 4 August - 10am
12/07/2018 10:13:00.......Posted by Yvette Hopley
Sanderstead Residents Association will be on hand at Waitrose between 10 and 12pm on Saturday, 4 August. Members will available to talk to residents about the good work they carry out in the area and assistance they give in relation to a number of local concerns. They work very closely with the councillors who jointly support numerous issues ranging from planning applications to organising events. Established in 1926 The Sanderstead Ratepayers' Association was formed, later to be known as the Sanderstead Residents' Assocication. Denis King, the chairman and his team will be happy to support you. Membership is only £5 for which you receive two colour magazines posted to your doorstep and access to the committee's expertise.
New Bin Delivery
12/07/2018 10:10:00.......Posted by Yvette Hopley
The new bins are being rolled out in Sanderstead this week. Do ensure you read the instructions attached to the bin and let the council know if you haven't received your new bins. Any problems or issues of course your local Sanderstead team are here to help.
A New Bus Seat at Sanderstead Recreation Ground Bus Stop
11/07/2018 10:14:00.......Posted by Yvette Hopley
A number of elderly residents contacted the local councillors asking if a seat could be installed by the bus stop at Sanderstead Recreation Ground. In this particularly warm weather it is good to have the opportunity to take a little rest whilst waiting for the 403. I am pleased that the local councillors have been able to fund a new bench for residents from their community budget.
New Crossing - Addington Road
03/07/2018 21:17:00.......Posted by Yvette Hopley
I am pleased to inform you that the proposed works for an informal crossing on Addington Road by the junction with Harbledown Road is due to start on Monday 30th July until 5th August. Hopefully this won't cause too much disruption and will of course improve the safety of crossing this very busy road.

Mass. Sen.-elect Warren says campaign in debt

Mass. Sen.-elect Warren says campaign in debt
Warren camp did not say how much debt remains
U.S. Sen.-elect Elizabeth Warren says despite raising $42 million her campaign finished in the red and she's asking supporters for a "little more money" to pay off the debt.
Warren, a Democrat who defeated incumbent Republican Sen. Scott Brown last month, sent a letter to supporters on Wednesday asking for donations to help pay the campaign's final bills.
She cited higher-than-expected costs for feeding more than 20,000 volunteer workers around the state on Election Day and for renting vans to drive prospective voters to polling places. The letter did not give the size of the debt.
The Warren-Brown race was the most expensive political race in Massachusetts history, and apparently the costliest U.S. Senate race in the country this year.

Holy cow, is Hinamizawa famous for producing people with superhuman powers or something? People getting tossed/blown against walls like they're made of paper...
But still, hurting my beloved Satoko... Shion... 許せない
Now then, for some general comments.
To start off, I'd like to say that the flow of the episode was not bad. It's much more composed compared to the earlier chapters (where events flew by at light speeds) However, there were a few points in the episode were the development would suddenly jump ahead, leave you hanging for a bit before you can catch up. For game players like me, we can follow the story easily enough (by filling in the missing spots with what we already know from the game), but I wonder if the anime watchers can keep up with the story. It's also possible that all the swappings between Mion and Shion can become confusing too.
Oh the other hand, the animation quality was quite stable. Satoshi's design and voice were both pretty spot on (Kobayashi Yuu was a slightly surprising choice though ( ・ω・ )). Shion was very cute too. ^^

Actually it wasn't that bad, I could tell that Shion liked Satoshi from the first time they were together. o_o; Satoshi~ I was caught off-guard by his voice, though. But I like him already.
Crazy me, I've already watched this 3 times. >_<; I rarely do that with raws.
I wonder what will happen between Mion and Satoshi now that Shion didn't quite give him the best impression...
So... Keiichi does not show up at all? ._.;

Most likely the best adaptation of the game to anime episode I have seen recently for Higurashi. Sure, it still left out some pieces here and there, but this one was paced quite evenly.
I was surprised to hear that they used Kobayashi Yuu for Satoshi. Hmm, perhaps she'll was the one selected in advance for Satoshi in future drama CDs? Nice to know as she is becoming one of my favorite seiyuus ever since her excellent role as Secchan in those Negima CDs.
Mika-P crying for over 2 and a half minutes! Now that's a great professional voice acting work right there!
And I guess my theory was indeed correct: kids living in rural areas back before the eras of video games are more energetic and powerful. Must be the excercise and they get everyday going out into the woods.

I am only basing this on the anime, so the game player might disagree with me, but I really hate Shion now. I think she is an obsessive, compulsive, selfish bastard who only think about herself and not other. Also she is either really dumb or her obsession made her handling the situation with Satoshi very poorly. I think part of the reason of her selfishness was due to her rich girl experience and isolation. She thought that she was the most important person in the world from her statue and she felt she was a victim because of her isolation so the world owed her something.
There was nothing wrong for her to fall in love with Satoshi at first sight. However she then became "jealous" of Satoko. Yes, she claimed she hated her because Satoko caused suffering for Satoshi but I think that's a self denial. She didn't like her because Satoko was too clining to Satoshi, so that Satoshi had to pay all of his attention to her instead of Shion. I meant, any normal person, like Keiichi hahaha, would see that the villains were the uncle and aunt, and perhaps the villagers. How could she blame Satoko for getting scare from abusive foster parents. Shion should've call children service first instead of beating to crap out of Satoko for crying (although a crying kid can be very annoying but that's not an excuse eheheh). If Shion really love Satoshi the smart thing to do is to first lose the disguise. I understand the situation but she was inconsidered for Mion if she continue to use her image for stupid thing. Second, Shion should help out Satoshi to take care of his sister first. It didn't matter if that'll hellp the situation but at least Satoshi would be grateful. It was true that Satoshi might really want to ditch his sister but Shion would be stupid to think he'll do it publically. but I think that Shion just didn't have any patient, she wanted Satoshi now, instead of spending time to woo him and also sacrified a bit of herself to help Satoshi. She acted as if she wanted to eliminate everything in Satoshi's life so he can only think about her. That's very selfish if you ask me. Of course, if people were not fucked up in Higurashi, we wouldn't have all these crazy murder to begin with

Your observations are pretty much the same as what I had when I was at this point in the game. It's a good mindset to have because you can see how your opinion will change as the chapter progresses. It'd be interesting to hear what people think about Shion right now and hear from them again after the chapter ends.

It would probably takes a lot to change my opinion, even if Shion past is really tragic because being in a tough situation and falling in love doesn't give you the right to beat the crap out of someone else unprovoke (no, crying loud is not a justifiable offense). My beef is not really the violent, because I watch Higurashi for that but the fact that she pick on Satoko instead of the Aunt and Uncle.
Does she really believe that beating Satoshi's sister in front of everybody will make the supposely compasionate brother find you hot, in your sister appearence? hahaha lol

So the first answer arc begins, yay for a lot more Shion. Its good to finally get to see Satoshi, not shocking at all how people thought Keiichi was him.. i'd say its only the hair color/eyes that are different.
I was pretty much just waiting for Shion to snap at Satoko, you could just see it coming from the Rena & Shion talk. You just gotta feel sorry for Shion & Satoko.. ;_;
Next episode looks like its gonna get even more crazy, & i'm missing Keiichi.. ^^;

This epsiode made me think about the events in Watanagashi-hen...the fact that Shion can take Mion's place, without anyone noticing...makes me wonder about the events that happened at the last epsiode...
I wonder how Rena ties into this, after all, this arc is supposed to solve the Onikakushi-hen, no?

Now I understand why Shion was the gamers' least favorite character out of the main ones. She was sure a violent girl. Like others have mentioned, people from Hinamizawa have super strength.
Anyway, this was the first 10 I've given in a while, since episode 8 and ep. 4 before that. I really enjoyed seeing events through Shion's POV, and I also liked the sister relationship the twins have with each other. But I do miss Keiichi since he's one of my faves.

I expected the answer arc to cover the same time period as Watanagashi but once again this series managed to surprise me. For the first time I could not wait and watched the raw first but didn't post here before watching the sub to get a clearer picture of the events. Impressive episode - I voted 9, not 10 because of the stupid incredibly strong athletes that seem to live in Hinamizawa according to the anime scriptwriters.

It seems like both Jon and Kate Gosselin enjoy being in the tabloids. The he-said she-said conflict between Jon and Kate continues and there is no sign of it ending anytime soon. After Kate appeared on The View as a guest host, she gave an ambiguous answer about Jon allowing girlfriend, Hailey Glassman to meet their eight kids. Jon is now responding in the media, and denies any claims of Hailey ever meeting the kids.
"I've never brought Hailey to meet the kids," he tells E! News, "nor do I plan on doing that anytime soon."
Similarly, Hailey denied the rumors on her Twitter page, writing "I was never at Jon and Katezilla's house nor did I meet the children, And nor am I in a rush to… When the truth finally comes out, the public owes Jon and I a HUGE apology, until then keep hating n being blinded, Bunch of Helen Keller's."
BTW: Because Helen Keller was known for being such a "hater."
A source close to both Jon and Hailey tells E! that Jon asked Kate where she'd heard about the "Hailey-meets-kids scenario". Kate responded that she saw it "in the tabloids." The source added, Jon will consider introducing the kids to Hailey "at the appropriate time" once the divorce is finalized.

Is 200 bushels per acre (11,200 pounds per acre) grain sorghum possible? Many producers would say no, but it has been done.
I recently attended the National Grain Sorghum Producers Association meeting where national yield contest winners were announced. The top yield in the 2004 yield contest was an amazing 213 bushels per acre. Four producers had yields over 200 bushels per acre.
The yields illustrate that with proper management and good growing conditions, grain sorghum is capable of producing extremely high yields.
High-yielding grain sorghum begins with a balanced fertility program. Follow soil test recommendations for phosphorus, potassium, sulfur and zinc. Supply adequate potassium to maintain stalk quality prior to harvest and reduce charcoal rot. The nitrogen rate depends on whether the crop is grown dryland or irrigated. Apply 100 to 120 pounds of actual nitrogen per acre on dryland sorghum and 150 pounds on irrigated sorghum. Apply one-third of the total nitrogen preplant and the remainder sidedressed by the six-leaf stage.
Planting date is very important. Plant early enough to take advantage of soil moisture during May and June and to develop the crop before the heat and drought of July. Planting early also reduces sorghum midge damage, a very serious problem on later-planted grain sorghum.
However, planting too early can also cause problems. Grain sorghum is not tolerant of cold wet soils and poor stands can result. In Arkansas, April is a good month to plant sorghum while March is too cold and wet most years.
Planting grain sorghum into cool wet soils will stress a young seedling, said Ken Smith, University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension weed scientist. The stress and grain sorghum's low tolerance of atrazine early in the growing season can lead to problems, especially when a full atrazine rate (2 pounds per acre) is applied pre-emerge.
"To reduce the risk of atrazine injury, I would like to see producers using metolachlor plus 0.75 pound per acre of atrazine applied pre and followed by 1 to 1.25 pounds per acre of atrazine plus a crop oil postemergence," Smith said. Concep-treated grain sorghum seed is a must.
Hybrid selection and plant population are critical for high yields. When choosing hybrids, look closely at two-year and three-year yield averages to see how hybrids perform. The University of Arkansas grain sorghum testing program has multiple year yield averages for many hybrids. Visit the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Web site: http://www.aragriculture.org/cropsoilwtr/sorghum/default.asp for more information.
The best plant population will depend on whether the field is dryland or irrigated. For dryland fields, plant populations of 50,000 to 60,000 plants per acre can result in high yields, while irrigated fields should have around 75,000 plants per acre. Assume that 80 percent of the seeds planted will emerge. Also, plant seed treated with Gaucho or Cruiser to protect against early-season insects.
There are many sorghum diseases in the South, the most important being anthracnose. "Select a high-yielding hybrid with resistance to anthracnose to minimize this risk," said David TeBeest, University of Arkansas professor of plant pathology with the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture. "Our research has shown that harvesting sorghum promptly when ready will maximize yield and quality and minimize the effect of this and other late-season diseases."
Balanced fertilization, high-yielding but disease-resistant hybrids, optimum planting date and seeding rate, insecticide seed treatment, good herbicide program, and timely harvest should maximize grain sorghum yield potential on your farm.
