Looking at this season for example how many of the eg. 6 worst teams are truly in tank mode (supported and seriously practiced by the coach and players). Iam hard pressed to point to any including the Bobcats and the Raptors. The tank nation is us the fans and the 6 teams are just plain bad. I will say though that BC was quite purposeful in choosing this roster to facilitate a bad season while the Bobcats theoretically could have been much better than they have if their 2 high picks (Biyombo & Kemba) played at a higher level.
My suggestion would be to eliminate the weighting (have a straight lottery) amongst the worst 4 teams, retain the weighting for the next 10 and then by record. My hope is that teams will find their natural level of competence without an incentive to play badly except maybe at the very end of the season when jockeying to get into the worst 4 group might occur by those on the edge. No incentives/guarantees for the top picks.

Prescribed details required from the South African Revenue Service on a tax invoices
Tax invoices must ordinarily reflect the following details as prescribed by the South African Revenue Service Act, 1997 (Act No. 34 of 1997):
JOHANNESBURG - 21 July 2009
South African Airways Technical (SAAT) has again been given a stamp of approval by the US-based Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) following an independent re-audit of its maintenance facilities and manpower.
The positive outcome of the re-audit has resulted in SAAT's accreditation with the regulatory body being extended to end-June 2010. This allows SAAT to perform maintenance on any US registered aircraft or components fitted to such an aircraft.
Annual audits of SAAT's facilities and services by the FAA have been performed since 1994. They are critically important for SAAT as the audits gauge the organisation's ability to safely maintain the aircraft entrusted to it by a host of domestic, regional and international carriers, including those of South African Airways (SAA).
Aircraft maintenance conducted by SAAT, the largest of its kind in Southern Africa, is governed by several international aviation regulatory bodies, including the FAA, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the South African Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). These organizations have detailed, highly prescriptive and non-negotiable regulations which must be stringently adhered to in order to maintain a high level of safety.
The inspection of SAAT's facilities and services was carried over a period of approximately five days by five FAA inspectors.
"FAA approval is an important mark of our ability to provide a specialised service according to the highest standards expected by aircraft operators around the world. Being recognised by this respected international aviation body gives us further credibility in terms of our commitment to safe practises," says Captain Stefan Poprawa, acting CEO, SAAT.
Many operators, irrespective of where their aircraft are registered, require a FAA approved facility to perform their maintenance, in addition to being approved by their applicable national regulatory body.
In order to become FAA approved, a number of criteria must be fulfilled by the maintenance facility. These include suitably qualified and adequate number of personnel, approved training programs for personnel, appropriate tooling and equipment, adequate technical manuals, knowledge of FAA regulations and requirements and retention of records for work performed and maintenance of equipment.

New 'Play Ball' e-book features Jackie's fortitude
By Mark Newman / MLB.com
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was born in New York a day after Jackie Robinson broke Major League Baseball's color barrier, and he never forgets the UCLA predecessor who made so much possible for him.
"The prevailing racial attitude of the day held that blacks lacked the athletic skill, courage and intelligence to play against whites," Abdul-Jabbar recalls. "Yet, every time Jackie took the field, he played with an intensity and skill that immediately set him apart from the average second baseman.

Breaking Barriers
More on Jackie Robinson Day
"Even fans who hated black people were forced to admit that Jackie Robinson was a superior athlete, and every time that happened, another part of the racial barrier crumbled. His fierce competitive nature and his ability to intellectually master the game were examples for young athletes like me to emulate."
Abdul-Jabbar, the all-time NBA scoring king who turns 66 next Tuesday, wrote that in his foreword for "Fortitude: The Exemplary Life of Jackie Robinson." HarperCollins and Major League Baseball Advanced Media on Tuesday announced the release of that enhanced e-book with multimedia capabilities jointly produced for just $3.99 on iPad, Kindle and Nook. It is not available for iPhones.
"Fortitude" comes in the days leading up to this weekend's "42" movie and then Jackie Robinson Day on Monday, and it marks the second title in the new MLB.com PLAY BALL BOOKS series published in collaboration with Ecco Press, an imprint of HarperCollins.
In 1997, under the direction of Commissioner Bud Selig, Robinson's No. 42 was retired across all of Major League Baseball in an unprecedented tribute.
Written by Lyle Spencer with contributions from MLB.com reporters, "Fortitude" features more than 20 minutes of interactive video, including rare archival footage, career highlights and interviews with, among others, Rachel and Sharon Robinson, Hank Aaron, Tommy Lasorda, Ralph Branca, former U.S. President George W. Bush and Henry Louis Gates, as well as thoughts through the years from Willie Mays and many more.
Thomas Tull, head of the Legendary Entertainment studio that produced the movie, said at the Jackie Robinson Foundation's annual fundraising dinner last month that his mission is to make sure today's generation knows the history of the man who broke baseball's color barrier on April 15, 1947. Indeed, "Fortitude" also goes a long way toward meeting that objective, making it fun and educational for families to share the story in an affordable and interactive way.
Think of it as a digital companion to the movie, loaded with enhanced elements, including 20 minutes of videos of highlights and interviews, plus beautiful photography. Download and read it before the movie so you have a background of details, and flip through "Fortitude" after you've been to the movie to stay in the moment and continue the national conversation. It offers nine snapshots of Robinson from events famous and obscure, nine examples of victory through dignity and tests of time in which his soul proved consistent and triumphant.
"Fortitude" follows the release of "Defending the Title," issued just before Opening Day, which covers the complete story of the Giants' 2012 world championship season, as well as a history of great dynasties and the team's chances of becoming the first club to repeat since the Yankees of 1998-2000. It also is now available at $3.99 on iPad, Kindle and Nook.
Kevin Pollak, San Francisco's native son, writes the foreword for that e-book, sharing memories of watching Mays and Barry Bonds, of being on the field for Game 1 batting practice at the last Fall Classic, where he called a few innings for MLB.com.
You can tap, flip and pinch your way through both of these e-books, part of the magic. Read about Buster Posey and click the video for HD satisfaction, especially brilliant on a tablet, use the clickable index of videos, and in the Giants book enjoy a nice payoff at the end with a 2012 World Series Trivia challenge.
The agreement between Ecco and MLBAM calls for the production of a new e-book at regular intervals throughout the baseball season and the off-season. MLB.com reporters and columnists will be authoring the e-books and MLBAM is supplying video, stats and other production assets.
"Our partnership with HarperCollins in this new venture symbolizes our commitment to producing content for fans that is distinctive and memorable, in a format that blends great writing, historical footage and multimedia capabilities to bring Jackie's era and his achievements to life," said Dinn Mann, executive vice president, content, MLBAM.

National Flood Insurance Program Gets Borrowing Boost
Congress has passed and sent to President Obama legislation that increases the borrowing authority for the National Flood Insurance Program by one-third.
The House passed the legislation Thursday through expedited procedures that required a two-thirds vote; the Senate acted several hours later by unanimous consent.
The House vote was 354-67. All "nay" votes came from Republicans, another sign of unrest from conservatives upset that the "fiscal cliff" deal approved earlier this week did not call for enough cuts in the federal budget. All 192 House Democrats who voted supported the bill.
"No" votes included Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), chairman of the House Budget Committee. He told The Hill after the vote that Washington should not be creating new debt.
And, during the debate, other Republicans noted that the NFIP only takes in about 70 cents of the money it pays out in claims.
"This legislation proposes to increase the program's borrowing authority by $9.7 billion," Ryan said. "It would be irresponsible to raise an insolvent program's debt ceiling without making the necessary reforms."
Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas), incoming chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, made the same point during the debate. "For the victims who paid for flood insurance policies with the National Flood Insurance Program, their claims need to be paid – and paid now."
But, he said, the NFIP "is beyond broke – it is taxpayer-bailout broke."
He said his committee will mark up a bill this year "to transition to a private, innovative, competitive, sustainable flood insurance market."
He said that is needed to ensure that "taxpayer bailouts are never needed again" and to get NFIP "on a path towards actuarial soundness." He acknowledged that some reforms were imposed through the NFIP reauthorization legislation enacted in July, but said that despite those reforms "Sandy has hit before many of these provisions could take effect."
To defend themselves from the withering attack from Northeast members of the Republican caucus, the Republican leadership sent Rep. Scott Garrett (R-N.J.), a House Financial Services subcommittee chairman, to manage the debate and sponsor the legislation.
Caught in the middle between seething Republicans who for the most part voted against the legislation averting the fiscal cliff, Garrett urged "volunteers" from across the country to come to New Jersey, New York and other Northeast states hit by Sandy to aid victims.
But, he acknowledged that, "As someone who has been on the ground, viewed the devastation, and helped clean up some of the damage, I certainly believe that those who have bought flood insurance should expect to receive the coverage they paid for," Garrett said.
The bill is H.R. 41. It increases the borrowing authority of the NFIP to $30.425 billion from $20.775 billion.
The legislation is a bare-bones concession from the House Republican leadership to demands from Northeast congressmen, and even the White House, for prompt action on aid to victims of Hurricane Sandy.
The next step is House floor consideration of two bills providing additional aid to states hit by Sandy. Debate will take place Jan. 15.
One is a bill crafted by Rep. Hal Rogers, R-Ken., chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, which would have provided $27 billion of supplemental aid to Sandy victims, including the increase in NFIP borrowing authority.
The other was a bill passed 89-8 by the Senate last Friday that would have provided a total of $60.4 billion in aid, less the $9.7 billion in borrowing authority provided by H.R. 41.
. The strong "no" vote from Republicans on even the loan piece indicates that the size of further congressional aid for victims of Superstorm Sandy cannot be predicted.
One of the reasons the House acted was that it received a message from the Federal Emergency Management Agency late Wednesday indicating that the funds need to pay claims from Superstorm Sandy and other NFIP obligations would run out sometime early next week.
As noted by Andrew C. Harris, president of the National Association of Professional Insurance Agents, "Not paying valid claims is simply not an option."
Harris said, in comments echoed by other insurance industry officials repeatedly to members of Congress, "The federal government has both a legal obligation and a moral imperative to pay to indemnify policyholders for their covered flood losses in policies backed by the NFIP."

Baltimore's MECU Agrees to Buy Local Bank
A big credit union has struck a deal to buy a small bank in Maryland.
The $1.2 billion Municipal Employees Credit Union of Baltimore announced Thursday it has agreed to buy the $61 million, two-office Advance Bank, also of Baltimore.
The agreement is subject to regulatory approvals and expected to close in the fourth quarter of this year, the federally chartered mutual savings bank and credit union said in the announcement.
No purchase price was announced, but the deal calls for MECU to acquire all loans, investments, real estate, accrued interest receivables and other banking-related assets, as well as to assume all deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and accrued interest payable.
"Advance has served its community well for over 50 years and we look forward to building on that relationship and to bringing expanded products, services and convenience to its members," said Bert Hash, CEO of the nine-location, 103,600-member MECU.
"We also look forward to expanding our footprint and to having Advance's employees join the MECU family," Hash said in the announcement.
"Both MECU and Advance are mutual institutions that are owned by their members," said Advance President/CEO John Hamilton. "We are pleased that this new partnership will allow us to continue to serve our customers with the same care and commitment that they have come to expect."
Advance Bank had $6 million less in assets at the end of 2012 than it did at the end of 2011, but made $196,000 last year compared with a loss of $836,000 the year before, according to the Investigative Reporting Workshop at American University.
The acquisition marks continued growth by MECU, which recently merged a small health services credit union in Baltimore.
MECU's purchase continues a new trend of credit unions buying banks that includes acquisitions by Landmark Credit Union in Wisconsin, United Federal Credit Union in Michigan and GFA Federal Credit Union in Massachusetts all within the past year and a half.

Prescribed details required from the South African Revenue Service on a tax invoices
Tax invoices must ordinarily reflect the following details as prescribed by the South African Revenue Service Act, 1997 (Act No. 34 of 1997):
Johannesburg, Thursday, 25 April 2013. South African Airways (SAA), Africa's most awarded airline, today announced that it has entered into a codeshare agreement with Air Seychelles, the national airline of the Republic of Seychelles.
The first phase of the agreement will see South African Airways place its "SA" code on Air Seychelles' non-stop flights between Johannesburg and Seychelles. South African Airways will also place its code on flights between the two largest islands of Seychelles, Mahé and Praslin, subject to approvals.
Subsequent to the launch of the partnership between SAA and Air Seychelles, the airlines will look into expanding the agreement to include Air Seychelles placing its 'HM' code on South African Airways' non-stop flights between Johannesburg and destinations across South Africa.
Ticket sales are set to open on April 29, for travel from April 30.
The deal follows a strategic move by Air Seychelles to increase its connectivity throughout South Africa and continental Africa.
In March 2013, Air Seychelles introduced an enhanced schedule and additional weekly service on its Johannesburg route, bringing the flights to three return services per week with daytime departures and arrivals. The new schedule greatly enhances the leisure and business customers' ability to connect across Africa and South Africa, particularly to Cape Town and Durban seamlessly on both airlines.
Manoj Papa, South African Airways General Manager Commercial, said: "This partnership signals a strategic move by both airlines to increase connectivity and grow their networks. This also augments SAA's already extensive African footprint. SAA currently flies directly to 26 destinations across Africa from its Johannesburg hub. Furthermore, the partnership adds breadth to our network, incorporating two additional destinations to the existing global partnership network which provides in excess of 1329 destinations in 194 countries globally. With strategic partnerships such as this one SAA is able to provide its passengers with more connections on the continent and across the globe."
Cramer Ball, Air Seychelles Chief Executive Officer, elaborated: "Our flights to Johannesburg have been incredibly successful, reflecting an increasing number of travellers coming out of South Africa to the Seychelles for leisure, business and sport. Traffic from South Africa has grown at a steady pace of 11 per cent each year for the past decade. In the first quarter of this year alone, traffic is up 13 per cent.
"With this codeshare agreement, guests will be able to purchase flights from South African Airways destinations onwards to the Seychelles on one ticket, making for a simpler and seamless journey.
"We have also established a foundation for twin-centre tourism products which combine a safari in Africa with a Seychelles beach holiday. SAA Holidays will also be adding Seychelles to their holiday program, providing a new channel for selling travel to our island nation and supporting the vitally important tourism industry."
Joël Morgan, Air Seychelles' Chairman and Seychelles' Minister for Home Affairs & Transport, said: "This partnership between flag carriers strengthens the historic commercial, political and cultural ties between the two countries. South Africa is a top trade partner for Seychelles and we have seen a growing number of South African nationals coming for visits to our islands.
"I'm delighted to establish this official partnership with South African Airways following a year of great change and achievement for our national carrier, particularly as 2013 marks 20 years of service to Johannesburg."
Subject to regulatory approval, the airlines plan to expand the scope of this agreement to include frequent flyer program reciprocity and more codeshare destinations on their respective networks.
Seychelles and South Africa established formal relations in 1993. Today, South Africa is Seychelles' strongest African partner. Not only do the two countries share many mutual interests, but also have a strong bilateral partnership over and above their engagement with the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the African Union. South Africa is also supporting Seychelles in combating piracy and in its efforts to bring peace and stability in the region.
Tickets can be purchased online via airseychelles.com or flysaa.com. Alternatively, customers can purchase tickets through travel agents, the airlines' sales offices or by calling South African Airways' call centres at 0861 359722 or 0861 606 606 within South Africa or +27 11 978 5313 for international calls or Air Seychelles' call centre at +248 4 38 10 13.

"Nail-biting.... With rare narrative verve, [the author] documents the ultimatums, emissaries, letters and increasingly desperate proposals that shuttled across Europe in the countdown to war."Independent (London)
"Of course, we know how the story ends, but Overy effectively utilizes primary sources to build up dramatic tension as the clock ticks down. Some of his assertions and conclusions go against the grain and should generate controversy: Chamberlain, while not a tower of strength, had no illusions concerning Hitler's ultimate aims. The Poles may have hastened the outbreak of war by refusing to compromise over the city of Danzig. Hitler correctly anticipated a short war against Poland but neither sought nor expected a wider war. This is an interesting and often provocative description of Europe descending into an abyss."Booklist

Thus far the Windows Phone 7 platform hasn't reportedly been
suffering as severely from piracy as Apple's iOS or Google's Android.
However, Microsoft may be in for a similar fate as its competitors.
In six hours, a developer advising technical blog site WPCentral was
able to create an app (named "FreeMarketPlace") that downloaded any
app from Microsoft's WP7 Marketplace, and removed the protections from it [video]. The cracked app could then be
directly loaded on an unlocked handset, or be saved to your hard drive.
WPCentral was ardent that it
would not publish details of how the hack worked, and that it only made the
video as a cry to action for Microsoft. The site comments, "We are
confident Microsoft will work hard to implement a stronger DRM system, in part

Consumer Expenditure Survey, 1992: Interview Survey, Detailed Expenditure Files (ICPSR 6440)
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Labor. Bureau of Labor Statistics
The ongoing Consumer Expenditure Survey (CES) provides a continuous flow of information on the buying habits of American consumers and also furnishes data to support periodic revisions of the Consumer Price Index. The survey consists of two separate components: (1) a quarterly Interview Survey in which each consumer unit in the sample is interviewed every three months over a 15-month period, and (2) a Diary Survey completed by the sample consumer units for two consecutive one-week periods. The Interview Survey was designed to collect data on major items of expense, household characteristics, and income. The expenditures covered by the survey are those that respondents can recall fairly accurately for three months or longer. In general, these expenditures include relatively large purchases, such as those for property, or expenditures that occur on a fairly regular basis, such as rent, utilities, or insurance premiums. Excluded are nonprescription drugs, household supplies, and personal care items. Including global estimates on spending for food, it is estimated that about 90 to 95 percent of expenditures are covered in the Interview Survey. The Detailed Expenditure Files that comprise this data collection were created from all the major expenditure sections of the Interview Survey questionnaires. These files contain more detailed expenditure records than those found in the Interview Survey data tapes. In addition, the Detailed Expenditure Files include family characteristics (FMLY) files and income and member characteristics (MEMB) files identical to those found in the Interview Survey.

Geographic Coverage: United States
- 1992
Universe: Total civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the United States.
A new Interview Survey questionnaire was introduced beginning in April 1991, resulting in significant changes to the 1991 Interview Survey data files. Several files, including Purchases of Household Appliances, Inventory of Household Appliances, Inventory and Purchases of Owned Vehicles, Disposal of Owned Vehicles, Trips and Vacations, and Vehicle Make/Model Codes and Titles, have been moved to the Detailed Expenditure Files for 1991 and subsequent years. The documentation has been completely restructured beginning in 1991 to reflect these changes.
The record length for Part 35 is 200 (the technical documentation incorrectly lists the record length as 196).
Sample: The Consumer Expenditure Survey is based on a national probability sample of households. Households are selected from primary sampling units (PSUs), which consist of counties (or parts thereof), groups of counties, or independent cities. The set of sample PSUs used for the survey is composed of 101 areas, of which 85 urban areas have also been selected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the Consumer Price Index program. The sampling frame from which housing units were selected was generated from the 1980 Census 100-percent detail file, augmented by new construction permits and coverage improvement techniques used to eliminate recognized deficiencies in that census. The sample design is a rotating panel survey in which one-fifth of the sample is dropped and a new group added each quarter. Each panel is interviewed for five consecutive quarters and then dropped from the survey.

A New
York Times report
has outlined the details of a secret Google project to truly
put the "auto" in automobile. The Mountainview,
California-based tech company has tested seven cars that have driven
without the aid of a human for 1,000 miles, and more than 140,000
miles with minimal human intervention.
project was created by Google engineer and co-inventor of Google's
Street View, Sebastian Thrun, director of the Stanford Artificial
Intelligence Laboratory. In 2005, Thrun led a team from the
university to win a $2 million Pentagon prize for designing the
Stanley robot car, which drove autonomously for more than 132 miles.
the current project, Google outfitted six Toyota Priuses and an Audi
TT with advanced mapping technology and artificial intelligence
software that can sense objects near the car and mimic human driver
decisions. A passenger has been present to make minor adjustments,
like when a bicyclist ran a red light during a recent test drive.
motivation for the project, its engineers say, is to make the roads
safer. "Robot drivers react faster than humans, have
360-degree perception and do not get distracted, sleepy or
intoxicated, the engineers argue," NYT noted.
Autonomous cars could double the capacity of our current roads by
allowing them to be driven closer together, and, because of the
decreased likelihood of a crash, could be made out of lighter
materials, translating to better fuel efficiency.
only reported crash, engineers said, was when one of the autonomous
cars was rear-ended while stopped at a red light. Otherwise, one of
the cars even drove itself down Lombard Street in San Francisco,
what NYT calls "one of the steepest and
curviest streets in the nation." The cars can be programmed with
different driving personalities -- "cautious" is more
defensive, while "aggressive" is, well, more aggressive.
has 15 engineers working on the project, as well as at least a dozen
people with clean driving records hired to sit in the driver's seat
as a precautionary measure.
Google isn't the only party working on a self-piloted car.
Researchers at Yale and NYU recently
unveiled a human vision-based supercomputer called NeuFlow,
which will aide in navigating cars in the future. A few years
ago, DailyTech went
for a ride in
the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge winner, a fully autonomous Chevy
autos are still years away from mass production, NYT notes,
because computers have to become much more stable and less likely to
crash, for one thing. Another obstacle beyond the technological
aspect is the law. "The technology is ahead of the law in many
areas," Bernard Lu, a senior attorney for the California DMV
told NYT. "If you look at the vehicle code, there
are dozens of laws pertaining to the driver of a vehicle, and they
all presume to have a human being operating the vehicle." Google
has argued that, because there is a human being present to override
any decisions of the automobiles, its experiments are legal. Lu
there are those who believe that the technology could change society
as profoundly as the Internet has. Google has not revealed a clear
business plan for the new technology, but both Thrun and Google
co-founder Larry Page have a shared commitment to increase the
nation's highway safety and efficiency, sources say.
least one thing is certain, autonomous cars, when perfected, would
save more lives than any texting-while-driving

Solid-state drives (SSDs) are the new hype in high-speed
storage solutions and with each new launch comes improvements over the last.
Currently, storage space is what many manufacturers are focusing on due to the
demand by consumers.
There are still a few details that certain manufacturers are bringing up to
speed. Many of the key players in the SSD game are still implementing a PATA
interface on their solid-state products which is holding these devices back
from performing at the highest levels. This is the reason for Samsung
Electronics' most recent launch announcement.
Samsung announced in a press release that its 1.8-inch and 2.5-inch 64GB SSD
with a SATA II interface is now in the mass production stage. The new SATA II
version of the drive was announced
in Q4 2007 and is said to remove the bottlenecks of the PATA interface used
in the previous version of the drive.
According to the director of Samsung Semiconductor's flash marketing
department, "While there will always be a market for HDDs, we see growing
demand for our new SSDs, especially now that they are available with the SATA
II interface."
Due to the inclusion of the SATA II interface on the new refresh, transfer
rates on the new 64GB SATA II SSD will increase 60 percent from SATA I versions
of the same drive. Instead of the 65 MB/sec read and 45 MB/sec write speeds of
the previous PATA SSD drive, the SATA II flavor will produce a maximum write
speed of 120 MB/sec read and 100 MB/sec write speeds.
Additionally, because the drive is based on solid-state memory technology, the
64GB SATA II SSD will be able to withstand 1500Gs of shock within a 1/2 ms
span, roughly 3 times the amount of shock a traditional hard disk drive would
be able to withstand in 2 ms.
Pricing information on the 1.8-inch 64GB SSD is not officially available since
these drives are currently an OEM-only option, however, it seems that PC makers
such as Dell and Alienware are providing solid-state drives as a $1,000+ option
in certain high-end notebook systems.
Recently, Samsung also announced a 128GB
SSD using multi-level cell NAND flash which is scheduled for a mid-2008
launch with costs speculated to be around the $2,000 mark. With prices this
high, only the super-enthusiasts will opt for these products.
That said, drives such as BitMICROs 832GB SSD that is
scheduled for a H2 2008 launch will be completely out of reach for anyone but
the mildly wealthy under current price schedules.

Really, why complain so much about this chapter?
I dont like every single chapter Kishi releases either, but I feel there was enough good stuff in this one.
We never seen the Shinobi Alliance really do anything before. The whole point of the Alliance was to create a force to be able to match Obito(who was still assumed to be Madara), the Zetsu Army and the Gedo.
Now we can finaly see what that they arent just a bunch of fodders that we never see in action (we have more or less only have been shown scenes of Shinobi's with a name, like Kakashi, konoha 11 etc.).
It was a pretty good strategy imo, by making good use of the talents in each village. It reminded me a little bit about those Anbu that trapped Nagato's dog, only this version was a lot more advanced with kekkei genkai, blinding jutsus and jamming jutsus (and their attack is still not over).
Even though they are up against such an immense power as Juubi + Obito + Madara(Edo even), they manage to pull off some good moves.This Shinobi Alliance is actually really useful.
''Oh noes, everyone can use C's lightning blinding jutsu'', big deal. Its not a kekkei genkai or anything.
''Oh noes, 4 people used Darui's Storm release'', big deal. Its 4 people, among thousands of cloud shinobi.
That is still really rare. I prefer more than 1 person to be able to use it actually. Just as lava release has several users, and magnet release has several users. A kekkei genkai being exclusive to one shinobi only seems weird, cause its passed down by blood. You should inherit it from someone right? So multiple people with said kekkei genkai is fine to exist.
Page 16 I liked the most:
''Only physical attacks work on Madara, anyone who is skilled at taijutsu should attack him''.
Fuk yeah!! Byakugan users vs Madara? Lee vs Madara? Sakura joining as well (although she is a medic, so not sure)?
Naruto with frog Kata? Akimichi clan joining? (Chouza and Chouji have experience in fighting the Rinnegan).
I am really looking forward to taijutsu users vs Madara.
Previous week we were treated with a nice combo of Byakugan and Shintenshin.
This week we were shown some new nice combo attacks and there is more to come.
Everyone can be entitled to their own opinion of course and if you didnt like the chapter, thats fine but I feel like it wasnt really that bad at all, and on second consideration and after reading this thread, you might feel the same.
I do feel it was a bit short (but that is often the case if you want to continue reading ).
So, still a bad chapter?

A space elevator has been a long standing dream of many in the science and tech community. Conceived by Russian scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky in 1895 and popularized by author Arthur C. Clarke, many believe the idea holds a great deal of real world promise, and may eventually provide the cheapest way to transport people and goods into space. With many countries such as Japan, the ESA, and the U.S. finally getting serious in a race to become the first nation to develop a space elevator, enthusiasm is at a high.
Unfortunately, though, much of the materials and methods needed to build such an elevator are infeasible. While carbon nanotubes could allow for a cable strong enough to hold a space elevator in theory, one key problem is how to propel the elevator along the cables into space.
Among the previously suggested methods of powering the climber into space were beaming microwave or laser power, or even concentrated solar power to the climber; but all these efforts have a long ways to go before being close to being feasible.
However, a remarkably simple idea proposed at the Second International Conference on Space Elevator and Tether Design in Luxembourg could hold the key to powering the space elevator. European Space Agency ground station engineer Age-Raymond Riise showcased a remarkably simple propulsion method which uses a series of rhythmic jerks to propel a device upwards along a taut cable.
For his demo he tied brushes with their bristles pointing down, representing the elevator cabs around the broom stick, representing the elevator cable. As the brushes pointed downward, they required less force to slide up than to slide down. The assembly slid up and down along the broomstick, but experienced a net upwards motion, slowly climbing to the top of the broomstick.
The novel new method holds great promise as similar jerking motion could be applied to raise the elevator on a full-sized design, in theory. The key technical challenge would be designing a cable strong enough to withstand the heat and forces exerted on it by the atmosphere.
However, advocates argue that with payload costs still remarkably high, the financial and social incentives for building a space elevator are enormous.
Building a space elevator could enable novel new industries. Describes Benoit Michel of the Catholic University of Leuven, a conference attendee, "From my point of view, the space elevator project is important because it enables a far more directly useful project - installation of large space solar power satellites around the Earth to provide continuous, cheap, CO2-neutral, environmentally friendly energy. I firmly believe that the next century will have a large space-based industry and that industry will be the main energy provider for the whole mankind."
Mr. Riise has been approached by commercial aerospace terms about his idea and is in talks with them over terms.

South African Airways, can not take responsibility for undelivered e-mails due to any other reasons beyond our control including the above.
Prescribed details required from the South African Revenue Service on a tax invoices
Tax invoices must ordinarily reflect the following details as prescribed by the South African Revenue Service Act, 1997 (Act No. 34 of 1997):
JOHANNESBURG - 05 August 2009
South African Airways (SAA) customers can now access comprehensive travel and airline information from just one point of reference, anywhere, anytime, using their cellphone.
The mobile portal, recently launched by SAA, allows travellers to access the following information from a capable cellphone device: airline flight schedules; directions to airline lounges at airports around the world; flight arrival and departure information; and destination information such as weather forecasts for any city in the world and a currency converter.
The new initiative is in partnership with Star Alliance, the international airline network to which SAA belongs. Star Alliance developed the Common IT Mobile Platform, which SAA used to launch its very own portal for customers. SAA is the first airline in Africa to have launched the new service.
The portal is a universal feed able to access information on any airline and destination in the world.
"It's a single source of information for the traveller. Forget about making unnecessary phone calls or logging on to countless websites to get the information you need while you are on the go. Anywhere, anytime, information about your travels it at your finger tips," says Mike Re, SAA Chief Information Officer.
Airline customers can also access World Tracer information, which tracks requests made about baggage, through the mobile portal. "This tool allows you track where your baggage request is with an airline and how close it is in the process to being resolved," says Re.
The portal is accessible by logging on to http://mobile.flysaa.com or http://m.flysaa.com
The first phase of the initiative is not controlled by usernames and passwords. Once you enter the address, the information needed is readily available with a few clicks and entries.
Once you enter the site, the application automatically scales to the size of the handset being used. "This convenient tool means no more clicking away to find the rest of the page not in your view because of the limited size of your cellphone screen," says Re.
The portal is currently available in 5 languages; English, German, Spanish, French, and Portuguese.
SAA plans to increase the functionality of the mobile portal with the launch of phase two later this year, which is more interactive. Customers will have the ability to request frequent flyer mileage status, check notifications on any irregular flight operations e.g. flight delays and check flight itineraries.
In phase three, also scheduled to be introduced towards the end of the year, customers will be able to check-in for a flight and board a flight by scanning their cellphone at a boarding gate using 2D barcode technology to be implemented at airports.
Issued by Group Corporate Affairs
SAA celebrates its 75th Anniversary in 2009 and is one of the oldest airlines in the world. The airline was founded on 1 February 1934 after the South African government took over the assets and liabilities of Union Airways, which up until then operated as an air mail service. It was named South African Airways and fell under the administration of the South African Railways and Harbours.
SAA is one of the leading carriers in Africa offering over 20 destinations across the continent, as well as major destinations within South Africa, including its hub, Johannesburg.
It is a member of the largest and most recognised international airline network, Star Alliance, and through this is able to offer its passengers a service beyond its own direct operations as well as numerous benefits to customers.
SAA operates one of the most technologically advanced aircraft fleets in the world and offers an exclusive and highly rated product. SAA's priority is to ensure the safety of its passengers and crew and therefore places immense focus on maintenance of its aircraft.

http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/pos...at-a-crossroadHead coach Dwane Casey got the hard work out of the way in Season 1, taking a team ranked dead last in team defense and catapulting it to 12th by installing some conservative principles and demanding full effort from the entire roster.
There were other bright spots, with more on the way. When Andrea Bargnani was healthy, he played some of the best basketball of his career. Once Jonas Valanciunas gets a feel for the NBA game, he'll demand attention down low. New acquisition Kyle Lowry can generate instant offense, which should also help.
There's a lot to like here, but still a ton of work to do to improve upon a 25th-ranked offense. The Raptors desperately need to open up some space in the half court to prevent the rigor mortis that bogged them down last season. Bargnani, when he's out there, helps inordinately, and Lowry can hit a shot from the perimeter and break down defenses off the bounce. But the Raptors simply can't build the kind of offense they want with their current supply of wings -- and that sober reality starts and ends with DeMar DeRozan, who enters the final guaranteed year of his rookie deal.
DeRozan, the Raptors' leader in minutes played each of the past two seasons, has never posted a player efficiency rating (PER) above the league average and it's not as if he's making up for it as a defender. He's not a proficient outside shooter, makes iffy reads on the pick-and-roll and is a ball-stopper in isolation with a less-than-stellar track record of converting those opportunities into anything -- a creator without much creativity.
To put it bluntly, there are very few things DeRozan is doing to help the Toronto Raptors win basketball games and it's hard to imagine an efficient offense that relies on him for a significant chunk of possessions.
The Raptors raised eyebrows by selecting Terrence Ross with the No. 8 pick in June. While Ross is no polished product on the offensive end, he's a Casey type of player, with quick feet on defense and a heady awareness of what's happening on the floor. He'd be a natural replacement for DeRozan, provided he can find his shot or, at the very least, recognize his limitations and minimize mistakes. That would be an easier proposition if there was another wing on the floor who could create. Ross could watch tape of Tony Allen and craft a career as a stopper with a few offensive tricks.
If the Raptors let DeRozan walk, they'd have some dough to find someone -- anyone -- who can score efficiently at the wing. Once that happens, the ball will start to move again in Toronto, this time with a stalwart defense to complement it.
Found it weird to find the raps, much less the blazers and warriors in this article, considering all three teams are in the middle of rebuilding.
Anyways, thought id post it. I agree completely with what he says about Demar.

Former CU Manager Wins Retrial in Case Over Unauthorized Raises
The case of a credit union manager facing prison for giving herself unauthorized raises continues in Pennsylvania.
Anne L. Clyburn, whose 2010 conviction for allegedly stealing $32,469 from the $6.5 million United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1776 FCU in Plymouth Meeting, Pa., was overturned, will have another day in court.
The former credit union president/CEO's conviction was overturned by a Pennsylvania appeals court last year because Clyburn did not understand "the nature of the charges against her and the elements of those charges," according to court documents. The appeals court ordered a new trial.
However, earlier this month, Clyburn of Exton, Pa., asked a Montgomery County Court judge to dismiss the theft and other related charges that she had been convicted of. Her lawyer, Samuel C. Stretton, argued prosecution witnesses at the first trial gave false testimony, according to the Daily Local News.
On April 23, Montgomery County Judge William R. Carpenter denied Clyburn's dismissal request and scheduled a new trial for June 3.
From 2000 to 2007 as president/CEO of the Philadelphia-area UFCW credit union, Clyburn awarded herself raises that were never approved by the board of directors.
She also manipulated the line of credit on her credit union-issued debit card and wrote checks from the credit union's operating account to pay for personal expenses, according to court documents.
A jury found Clyburn guilty in September 2010 on three counts of theft, two counts of receiving stolen property and one count of tampering with records that led to her stealing $32,469. She was sentenced to a one to seven years in prison, followed by 10 years of probation, according to court documents.

has announced that its new CHAMP missile has had a successful first test
flight. The CHAMP, or Counter-electronics High-powered Microwave Advanced Missile Project, had its first test flight earlier this year at the
Utah Test and Training Range at Hill Air Force Base. The CHAMP missile is a
non-lethal alternative to kinetic weapons that is able to neutralize electronic
The goal is to create a weapon that can eliminate the threat posed by weapons
and structures that rely on electronics to operate without having to worry
about collateral damage. The test flight pointed the CHAMP missile at a set of
simulated targets and confirmed that the missile could be controlled in flight
and that timing of the High-powered Microwave (HPM) system could be controlled.
"It was as close to the real thing as we could get for this test,"
said Keith Coleman, CHAMP program manager for Boeing Phantom Works. "This
demonstration, which brings together the Air Force Research Laboratory's
directed energy technology and Boeing's missile design, sets the stage for a
new breed of nonlethal but highly effective weapon systems."
The program to develop the CHAMP missile has spanned three years and cost $38
million so far. More tests of the missile system are set for later in the year.
Boeing supplies the airborne platform and is the prime contractor and systems
integrator on the program. The HPM is supplied by subcontractor Ktech Corp. The
pulse power system is provided by Sandia National Laboratories under a separate
contract with the Air Force Research Laboratory.

This letter is not about the Republicans or the Democrats. It is not about the deficit, or gun control. Neither is it about increased taxes, social security or Obamacare.
It is a simple letter of thanks to all the friends, acquaintances and well-wishers that either called or sent get-well cards to me following my recent open-heart surgery and recovery. It is truly wonderful to live in a community where there are so many caring people. I would like to thank each one of you personally but there are just too many and I'm sure that I would leave someone out, so I'm taking this way to say thanks to all of you.

Ford's F-150 is the best selling
vehicle in America and has been for the past three decades. Thus, any
big changes that effect the fuel efficiency of Ford's massive
full-size trucks has an impact on hundreds of thousands of drivers'
wallets each year.
Thus is the case with the powertrain
lineup for the 2011 F-150. With looming
CAFE regulations requiring drastically improved fuel efficiency
from both cars and trucks, Ford is jumping the gun with an all-new
engine lineup consisting of two V6 engines (one naturally
aspirated, one turbocharged) and two V8 engines. To those that follow
the auto industry, most of these engines should sound familiar to
The new
base 3.7-liter V6 is used in a variety of Ford vehicles (Mustang,
Lincoln MKX, Lincoln MKT) and produces 300 hp @ 6,500 rpm and 275
lb-ft of torque @ 4,500 rpm (max towing capacity 6,100 pounds) when
used in the F-150.
The new 5.0-liter V8 first showed up in
the 2011 Mustang GT, but is now making its way to the F-150.
Naturally, the engine has been upgraded to handle heavy loads and
manages to generate 360 hp @ 5,500 rpm and 380 lb-ft @ 4,250 rpm (max
towing capacity 9,800 pounds).
The 6.2-liter V8 has already seen duty
in the 2010 F-150 SVT Raptor, but is now filtering its way down to
the rest of the lineup. The engine develops 411 hp @ 5,500 rpm and
434 lb-ft @ 4,500 (max tow capacity 11,300).
The last new engine is the wonderful
EcoBoost V6 that is used in the Taurus SHO and Flex. Ford is not
giving official power/torque ratings for this engine yet, but it
generates 365 hp @ 5,500 rpm and 350 lb-ft @ 1,500 rpm in the Taurus
SHO. Best of all, the engine runs on regular unleaded.
to the Detroit News, the EcoBoost engine will be a a step
above the 5.0-liter V8 in price and will equal
the towing capacity of the 6.2-liter V8 engine option.
According to Ford, with these new
engines and standard six-speed automatic transmissions across the
board, fuel economy will be increased by at least 20 percent compared
to comparable 2010 F-150 models. The Detroit News also says that some models may achieve 24 mpg.
"Truck customers demand an engine
that delivers outstanding low-speed torque to help tow or move heavy
payloads, and sustained high-load, low-speed operation is a key
attribute they look for," said Barb Samardzich, vice president of
Powertrain Engineering. "The engine lineup for the 2011 Ford F-150
has been tuned specifically for truck operation needs and optimized
for fuel economy. The result is a lineup that delivers class-leading
towing and payload capability with outstanding horsepower, torque and
fuel economy."

Lawmakers vote to end soda tax
MONTPELIER (AP) -- A Vermont House committee on Friday voted to kill legislation that would have levied a new tax on sugary soft drinks to pay for public health education and to help smooth the transition to a health care overhaul.
In a move that drew the comment "Holy smokes!" from Sen. Virginia Lyons, a member of the Senate Health and Welfare committee, the House Health Care Committee voted 5-5, with one member absent, on the measure. The tie killed the bill the committee had spent weeks drafting.
"It's frustrating," said Rep. Mike Fisher, D-Lincoln and chairman of the House panel. "The committee spent a lot of time and took majority votes on a number of steps along the way and there were a few members of the committee who couldn't support the bill because of how much it did, and there were a few members of the committee that couldn't support the bill because they ... wish it had done more. ... I think right now everything's dead."
The vote creates a new cloud of uncertainty over efforts by the Legislature and Gov. Peter Shumlin to solve what has become one of the key riddles of the current legislative session: how to move to the new health care marketplace, or exchange, called for under the federal Affordable Care Act, without hurting people who had been enjoying state subsidized health care.
Vermont has two publicly subsidized health insurance programs geared to providing coverage to low- and moderate-income working people and families: the Vermont Health Access Plan and Catamount Health. Lawmakers and advocates have been raising an alarm for months that many of the people enrolled in those programs face steep increases in the cost of health insurance, because federal subsidies under the exchange will not be as generous as what the state has been offering.
Members of the House committee had reviewed charts in recent weeks from legislative fiscal analysts showing a wide range of impacts from the switch from the state programs to the exchange, depending on income and size of household. Some families would be hit hard. One chart offered the example of a single parent with two children, who could see a monthly premium increase of $256, more than doubling the current premium of $208.
Shumlin's administration proposed trying to partially close the gap between state and federal subsidies; the House panel tinkered with the amounts and with the mix of premium subsidies versus those that help people pay out-of-pocket costs like copays and deductibles.
Friday's committee vote left those efforts in doubt, Fisher said.
"It's very disappointing for low-income people," he said. "I think in some members' attempt to get more, they're ending up with nothing."
Fisher called for the vote even in the absence of a key supporter of several of the bill's provisions, Rep. George Till, D-Jericho. Till is an obstetrician-gynecologist and had to leave shortly before the vote for a medical emergency, committee members said. A page later sent to Till drew no immediate response.
Asked why he allowed the vote to proceed, Fisher said: "The committee needed to move forward. A member committee got up and left at the last minute; I can't account for that."
Other committee members and some lobbyists disagreed with Fisher's assessment that the bill was dead. Tina Zuk of the American Heart Association said her group would continue pushing for a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages, which the AHA and other groups blame for increasing obesity.
Rep. Paul Poirier, I-Barre, said the beverage tax could be taken up separately by the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee. Meanwhile, the House Appropriations Committee still will weigh the administration's proposals on health insurance subsidies.
