Cocktail Recipe: Klansmen Doing The Robot Beside A Burning Cross As Obama Watches From Lincoln Bedroom Window
Add to My Drinks
1 oz
2 oz
Lamb's White Rum
1.50 oz
Sour Mix
1.75 oz
151 Proof Rum
This drink is kind of like the KKK one where the color is a ghastly white with the help of the cream. Now coming up with an ingredient that would represent Obama and the only one could be the Blavod black vodka or jager even though he isn't german so if the drink isnt strong enough after the 151 you can add it. The 151 would represent the burning cross and as with any flaming concoctions you have to down it quick.

Imagine driving your vehicle through an
intersection as the light turns green, and having your car tell you to hit the
brakes immediately. Just as you comply, a car speeds by coming from your left.
That car would be in your driver's side door right now had you not listened to
your vehicle's request. Now stop imagining, because the U.S. Department of
Transportation's Research and
Innovative Technology Administration (RITA) announced
the Connected
Vehicle Technology Challenge today, which will bring
Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) technology to
RITA is a
unit of the U.S. Department of Transportation that
was created in 2005. It provides transportation statistics and analysis,
coordinates research and education programs, and integrates advanced
technologies into the transportation system. At the head of the unit's helm is
Administrator Peter Appel.
Connected Vehicle Technology Challenge is a national competition that is
looking for new ideas on how to apply wireless connectivity between vehicles.
It is open to all idea innovators whether they work in the transportation
industry or not.
challenge is specifically looking for applications or product-related ideas
that utilize Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC), which is a wireless
technology that is a faster and more secure version Wi-Fi. DSRC is capable of
exchanging messages between vehicles in a fraction of a second without needing
any control from the driver. It is also able to do this with a minimal amount
of interference.
DSRC-based systems, vehicles would not only communicate
with each other, but also with the surrounding infrastructure such as
traffic signals and work zones. This will allow the vehicle to alert the driver
when approaching construction and other driving-related variables.
technology is an opportunity to help create a future where millions of vehicles
communicate with each other by sharing anonymous real-time information about
traffic speeds and conditions," said Appel. "This new world of
wireless communication will make transportation safer, provide better and
faster exchange of information for vastly improved daily and long-distance
travel, and even reduce environmental pollution."
companies have already started creating technology similar to what RITA is
looking for. For instance, CNBC Correspondent
Phil LeBeau recently tested a crash avoidance system in Detroit called
Intellidrive. The system was created by a dozen major automakers along with the
federal government, and utilizes technology that took nine years to develop.
Vehicles strictly communicate amongst each other through GPS receivers and
Wi-Fi signals, exchanging data about each cars location and speed. With this
information, a vehicle can warn the driver of a potential crash before it
happens. LeBeau noted that this technology could be available in six to seven
addition, back in 2006, GM announced that it was looking to create a
similar vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) system. The system utilized GPS, Wi-Fi technology,
and computer-controlled active safety systems. At that time, it was already
being tested on Chevrolet, Cadillac, Saab and Opel models in Germany.
to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, technology that
allows vehicles to communicate with each other as well as the surrounding
infrastructure wirelessly could address 81 percent of all vehicle crashes that
are unrelated to impaired driving.
Connected Vehicle Technology Challenge will run from January 24 through May 1
of this year, and the winners will receive "funded opportunities" to
present their innovative ideas and produce some of the most advanced wireless
technology for new vehicles.

Birthday cake really does taste better than regular cake, according to a new study.
A University of Minnesota psychologist says the ritual of singing "Happy Birthday" before eating a slice of cake makes you appreciate it more and, thus, taste better -- at least in our minds.
But that's not all.
The ritual extends beyond singing to include things like how you open a candy bar wrapper, Kathleen Vohs says in her research published in the journal Psychological Science.
It can also be applied to how you eat healthier foods like fruits and vegetables.
Moving forward, Vohs told The Daily Mail she'd like to apply her findings to other habits outside of food.
"We are thinking of getting patients to perform rituals before a surgery and then measuring their pain post-operatively and how fast they heal," she said.

HP is the largest computer maker around with a business that spans the globe and reaches into the corporate and consumer markets. The company recently forced the resignation of its CEO Mark Hurd after allegations of sexual harassment and falsified expense statements. The CEO of Oracle Lawrence Ellison is speaking out in support of Hurd and condemning HP's board for Hurd's departure. Ellison and Hurd are reportedly close friends, though the companies do compete on some levels and work together on other projects. Ellison sent an email to the New York Times stating, "The H.P. board just made the worst personnel decision since the idiots on the Apple board fired Steve Jobs many years ago. That decision nearly destroyed Apple and would have if Steve hadn't come back and saved them." Ellison continued in the email claiming that, "In losing Mark Hurd, the H.P. board failed to act in the best interest of H.P.'s employees, shareholders, customers and partners. The H.P. board admits that it fully investigated the sexual harassment claims against Mark and found them to be utterly false." According to Ellison, a debate amongst the HP board was raging on whether or not to disclose the allegations of sexual harassment to the public. Hurd reportedly didn't see the need to force disclosure of the allegations after an investigation by the HP board found that the claims were false. Hurd and the woman involved in the case, Jodie Fisher, both maintain that there was no romantic relationship between them. However, Fisher reportedly settled the claims with Hurd for an undisclosed sum of money.
Why there would have been a settlement if nothing happened is unknown. HP maintains that the reason for Hurd to be forced to resign was due to falsifying expense reports in an effort to conceal the relationship.

It looks as though we haven't seen the last of the notebooks
battery recalls -- not by a long shot. So far in the past two months, we've
seen recalls from Dell,
Apple, Toshiba,
IBM/Lenovo and Matsushita/Panasonic.
It now looks as though Sony has set up the Global Replacement Program for its defective batteries used in notebook computers.
The company outlined its plan for a Global Replacement
Program for its notebook batteries and again restated the cause of the battery
pack failures. From Sony's press
Sony Corporation will
initiate a global replacement program for certain battery packs that utilize
Sony-manufactured lithium ion cells used by notebook computer manufacturers in
order to address concern related to recent over-heating incidents. Sony always
strives to deliver the highest level of satisfaction to its customers and all
consumers. We believe that this program is in the best interest of both our
customers and all consumers. Sony is discussing this plan with the US Consumer
Product Safety Commission and will coordinate with other government authorities
as required. We will announce details of the program in the near future.
Companies like Dell and Apple are taking a hit from
customers over the recall even though they didn't actually manufacture the
batteries. Sony, which is already fighting off bad press over its PlayStation 3
and Blu-ray now has yet another fiasco on its hands and is ultimate damage
control mode. As for customers, they're left to use faulty batteries as they
wait to receive replacement batteries from their notebook manufacturers -- and some
airlines are throwing their weight around by banning certain notebooks
with Sony-produced batteries. It's a tough situation for all parties
involved, but hopefully within the next few this whole matter will be behind

First West CU Encourages 'Family Day' as Official Paid Day Off for Employees
The nearly 1,300 employees of First West Credit Union in British Columbia were among those who took advantage of Family Day, the province's inaugural holiday.
Observed on Feb. 11, the holiday was established in May 2012 in British Columbia to allow employees to spend time off with their families. The paid day off is currently practiced in five provinces in Canada.
In a survey of employees conducted days before Family Day by First West CU in Langley, B.C., which has $6.6 billion in assets under administration, 71% said they planned to spend time with their families. Fifty-six percent of employees said they were heading out of town for a quick family getaway.
Ten percent of First West employees said they planned to catch up on their to-do list of errands at home, and another 10% said they were getting active by hitting the ski slopes or going for a run.
More than 570 employees responded to the credit union's survey.
"There is nothing more valuable to families than time together," said Launi Skinner, CEO of First West. "That's why we recognize the importance of Family Day and as our employee survey results indicate, 92% of our employees agree that having one extra day off is something they really appreciate."
First West said it was the only company in British Columbia to offer Family Day to its employees in 2012, one year before the statutory holiday officially came into effect in the province. The holiday is celebrated on the second Monday in February here.
"Our decision to offer Family Day as a paid holiday in 2012 was our way of recognizing a team that regularly goes above and beyond to make a difference in the financial lives of our members and our communities," Skinner said. "Plus it was one more way for us to say, our employees and their families matter."
First West employees said they certainly welcomed the time off, the credit union said.
"I'm a father to three young children and I know that as a working parent, it can be a challenge to find quality time with your family," said Jeff Knutson, branch manager at Envision Financial, a division of First West, who spent the day tubing down snow slopes at a local resort with his family.
Marion Henselwood, branch manager at Valley First, another division of First West, took in some skiing and eating out at a restaurant with her family.
"Not only do we get a much-needed break from the doldrums of winter, but we get to be with our loved ones," Henselwood said.

Rudy Gay (Toronto Raptors): Three years, $53.7 million (third-year player option)
Andrea Bargnani (Toronto Raptors): Three years, $32.2 million (third-year early-termination option)
DeMar DeRozan (Toronto Raptors): Five years, $41.3 million
Landry Fields (Toronto Raptors): Three years, $18.8 million
The acquisition of Gay is the most exaggerated example in the Raptors recent run of adding counterproductive contracts, but Gays cap hit is only so painful because of all that came before it. Lucrative extensions for the Bryan Colangelo-drafted Bargnani and DeRozan form the basis of the Raptors cap problems, while two flubbed mid-level signings (Linas Kleiza and Fields) only serve to exacerbate the gloomy outlook. Add it all up and youre looking at a team thats over the projected cap line through 2015, may pay the luxury tax in 2014 and is far from a contender. We have yet to see what Colangelo might get in a potential deal centered on Bargnani, but even a financially beneficial deal would leave the Raptors in more or less the same place, with a potential new deal for Kyle Lowry looming in 2014.
Gays contract alone would be tough for any team to handle, much less one so early in its team-building cycle. The Raptors didnt have all of their core pieces in place, and now theyre left with that same, underwhelming foundation, a massive contract eating up much of their cap and hopes for the future pinned to Gay, DeRozan, raw big man Jonas Valanciunas and rookie wing Terrence Ross. There are worse places for a team to be, but that group and the Raptors cap reality dont bode well for Torontos upward mobility.
Nothing really new for Raps fan, who have long moaned about the cap hits associated with Demar's extension, Fields and Bargnani in general, and the Gay deal was widely known as an over-pay since the day he signed the extension.

Kershaw allows three runs in final tuneup
By Greg Johns / MLB.com
PEORIA, Ariz. -- Michael Morse continued his red-hot spring on Wednesday with his eighth home run, a two-run shot off Clayton Kershaw, as the Mariners topped the Dodgers 10-7 in their final home Cactus League game of the spring at Peoria Stadium.
Morse, acquired from the Nationals to help bolster the Mariners offense, tied a club record for most Cactus League home runs with his first-inning blast to left field. The 6-foot-5, 245-pound outfielder went 1-for-1 with a pair of walks, putting his spring average at .365 with 14 RBIs.
In a matchup of former Cy Young winners, Kershaw gave up five hits and three runs in three innings, while Felix Hernandez allowed three runs on nine hits over six frames for Seattle.
Both aces were making their final spring starts prior to Opening Day. Kershaw will open against the Giants on Monday at Dodger Stadium, while Hernandez is slated for his sixth Opening Day start the same night against the A's in Oakland.
Kershaw finished his spring with a 4.18 ERA in seven starts. He was replaced in the fourth by Ted Lilly, who gave up seven runs on six hits and three walks in 2 1/3 innings.
Playing a lineup of nearly all backups, the Dodgers pushed a run across against Hernandez in the second on singles by Nick Buss and Alex Castellanos, with Buss scoring on a blooper to right field by Justin Sellers. Right fielder Michael Saunders short-hopped that ball and threw to second to force Castellanos as Buss crossed the plate.
Third baseman Jerry Hairston had two of the hits against Hernandez, going 2-for-3 with a double to hike his Cactus League average to .200 (8-for-40). Lilly had a two-run double in the sixth.
Hernandez threw 96 pitches in his final spring tuneup and had one walk, three strikeouts and hit a batter. His final ERA was 2.65 in four Cactus League starts.
Mariners manager Eric Wedge was ejected in the sixth inning for coming out to argue with the home-plate umpire after Hernandez expressed unhappiness over a called ball.
Mariners catcher Jesus Montero went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in the third and is batting .415, while Dustin Ackley tripled and scored in the fourth off Lilly and also went 2-for-4 on the day.
Minor League callup Nate Tenbrink broke things open for Seattle with a three-run double in the sixth that made it 9-3 and knocked Lilly out of the game.
The Mariners have been hitting well all spring and now have a club record 55 home runs with two games to go. The Mariners have gone deep in 30 of their 31 games and are tied for the third-most spring home runs by any Major League team in the past 20 years, trailing only the 1999 Cubs (62) and 2006 Royals (56).
Up next for the Dodgers: Having shifted the final days of camp from Arizona to California, the Dodgers play a pair of split-squad games Thursday. In Anaheim, Hyun-Jin Ryu starts against the Angels and former Dodger Joe Blanton at 7:05 p.m. And in Rancho Cucamonga, Stephen Fife will start for the Dodgers against former first-round pick Chris Reed and their Single-A team affiliate at 6:05 p.m.

After almost seven weeks from when the Colorado State Patrol and other law enforcement agencies searched the property owned by former Montezuma County Commissioner Larrie Rules, few details have yet to be released.
The investigation, which centers around a three-day search starting on Dec. 12, was focusing on auto thefts and is being spearheaded by the state's Beat Auto Theft Through Law Enforcement task force.
CSP Capt. Jeff Goodwin said this type of criminal investigation is always kept under wraps until the task force can move forward with the arrest of all potential suspects and the filing of all applicable charges within the appropriate jurisdictional district.
One week after the search, CSP warned that it could be a month or more before details were released. It's now been 50 days since the first search was conducted.
Goodwin said they are not able to comment on behalf of the task force and the undercover operations, and added that Sgt. Mike Baker will be releasing the details of the investigation when finished.
Goodwin said he realizes this is a topic of interest in any community but especially in some of the smaller communities of Southwestern Colorado.
"I will simply ask for your patience in this matter knowing that we must protect the identities of everyone involved at this point in the investigation," Goodwin wrote in an email. "The last thing that we want to do is jeopardize any portion of this case and its evidence."
Rule has not returned phone calls to comment on the case. Rule's last day as commissioner was Jan. 8. He was term limited after serving eight years on the commission.

Minato Namikaze
Basic Information
Name: Minato
Nickname: The Fourth Hokage, The Yellow Flash, Yondaime.
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Clan: Namikaze
Jiraiya and Tsunade pointed out that, while Naruto physically bears great resemblance to Minato, his personality is almost identical to his mother. While Naruto is boisterous and relatively thick, Minato was calm, collected, and highly perceptive. He also seemed well aware of the terror his reputation inspired in his foes. He appeared to be respectful of those around him; he didn't like freely speaking about others' pasts, and was said to be a very nice person. He deeply cared for and loved his wife and child, becoming very nervous because of Kushina's pain during labour and even shedding tears of joy at his son's birth. He also enjoyed reading, and took a special liking to reading Jiraiya's work in particular.
Jiraiya said that Minato was a shrewd person, and was not a man who would do something without reason. He was very knowledgeable of the ninja world, concluding that only Madara Uchiha would have the power or the reason to have the Nine-Tails attack Konoha during their fight. Minato was known for his unbeatable determination and unbelievable drive, which he passed on to his son. In his youth, Minato also had a desire to be acknowledged by everyone in the village and to become a great Hokage, again, a trait passed onto his son. His devotion to the village and his love for his friends inspired all those around him, and, as a result, he became well-liked by the villagers. Minato was nevertheless understanding that Naruto must feel hurt by the fact that his own father had sealed a monster inside him.
Minato was a fairly tall, fair-skinned man who on more than one occasion has been compared with Naruto in terms of physical appearance; both have bright blue-eyes and spiky blond hair. Unlike Naruto, Minato had jaw-length bangs framing either side of his face. According to Jiraiya, Minato was considered to be very handsome, as many women were infatuated with him. His normal attire consisted of a standard Konoha-nin uniform with two bands each on both of his sleeves, a flak jacket and a forehead protector and sandals. After becoming Hokage, he started wearing a short-sleeved long white coat over his normal attire, decorated by flames-like motifs on the edges, with the kanji for "Fourth Hokage" (四代目火影, Yondaime Hokage) written vertically down the back, and closed on the front by a thin orange rope. In his youth, he wore a tracksuit with three stripes on the sleeves, mesh undershirt and dark pants.

Background info
When Minato was in the Academy, his class-mate and future wife Kushina Uzumaki thought that he looked "flaky" and even "girly". He dreamed of being acknowledged by the Konoha villagers by becoming the Hokage, which Kushina considered to be an impossible dream for someone like him. Years later, however, when Kushina was kidnapped by Kumogakure ninja, Minato was the only one to pick up on the fact that she was leaving behind strands of her red hair to mark their path. After rescuing her, Minato explained that he had always admired her hair. No longer seeing him as "flaky", she fell in love with him.
According to those who knew him personally, Minato was a very talented ninja prodigy — a rare genius that appeared only once in a generation. He graduated from the Academy at the age of ten, and was added to a genin team under the tutelage of Jiraiya, who took a special interest in Minato, and accepted him as an apprentice, amongst other things teaching him the Summoning Technique. He even believed Minato might be the Child of the Prophecy, someone who would someday save the world.
Team Minato.
In time, Minato was put in charge of a genin team of his own, consisting of Rin, Obito Uchiha, and Kakashi Hatake. During the Third Shinobi World War, Minato led his team on a mission into Kusagakure to destroy the Kannabi Bridge. Because Kakashi had recently become a jōnin, Minato gave leadership of the mission to Kakashi while he went to help Konoha's forces on the front lines. After meeting up with the surviving and out-numbered Konoha ninja, Minato used his Flying Thunder God Technique to kill the opposing Iwagakure ninja. He then returned to his team, just in time to save Kakashi and Rin from another group of Iwa forces, but was too late to save Obito. When Kakashi and Rin recovered from the ordeal, Minato helped them complete the mission.
At some point before becoming Hokage, he clashed with A multiple times. At their first meeting he recognised A's brother Killer B as the jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails. Upon receiving the signal that Konoha was retreating, he declared that they would later face each other to put the title of Kage on the line and also offered A the advice of making sure his brother knew who he was before he became neither human nor jinchūriki.
When the war ended, Minato, not yet thirty years of age, was chosen to become the Fourth Hokage. At some point during his reign, he taught his signature technique to the Hokage Guard Platoon to better aid them in their duties of serving the Hokage at any given time. At some point in time while Kushina was pregnant, he read Jiraiya's first book and liked the main character's determination — whom he believed to be just like Jiraiya — decided to name their son "Naruto" in the hopes that he would be just like the main character and, in turn, Jiraiya. Jiraiya warned them that it would make him Naruto's godfather, but they insisted that this was a good thing.
Because Kushina was the jinchūriki of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, special arrangements had to be made for Naruto's birth. Since the seal keeping the Nine-Tails within her would weaken during childbirth, Naruto would be secretly delivered in a remote location outside Konoha. ANBU would guard the area and Minato would maintain the seal while Kushina went into labour. Soon after Naruto was born they were found by Tobi who had killed the ANBU stationed outside and infiltrated the cave. Tobi killed Biwako Sarutobi and Taji then took Naruto hostage, threatening to do the same to him. Minato was able to take Naruto back, but this gave Tobi the chance to escape with Kushina. Minato found a safe place to put Naruto and then teleported to Kushina. He arrived in time to stop the Nine-Tails — having been removed from her body — from killing her, and teleported back to Naruto. Minato reunited mother and son and then went to help defend Konoha from the Nine-Tails.
Minato arrived in the early stages of the Nine-Tails' attack. After protecting the village from its Tailed Beast Ball, Minato tried to reach the Third Hokage to inform him of what had happened, but was stopped by Tobi, who tried to send him away. Minato escaped but was followed by Tobi. When the two began fighting, Minato struggled to hit Tobi, Tobi being intangible whenever he was not currently attacking. By carefully timing his Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato was able to strike him during one of these rare moments and apply a seal for the Flying Thunder God Technique to him, allowing him to teleport directly to Tobi. He placed a Contract Seal on Tobi to remove the Nine-Tails from his control, forcing the latter to retreat.
According to Jiraiya, Minato was one of the most gifted shinobi who ever lived and was also believed to be one of the strongest shinobi that ever existed. His abilities were so far advanced that even the Fourth Raikage thought that no one would be able to surpass him. Anko Mitarashi, in discussion with the Third Hokage about Orochimaru's immense strength and his threat to the village, stated that she wished the Fourth had been alive to face him. At a young age, he was able to single handedly rescue Kushina from three Kumogakure ninja. During the Third Shinobi World War, flee-on-sight orders were given to enemy shinobi should they ever see him appear on the battlefield. Minato was also capable of counteracting the Nine-Tails' attacks to the point that Tobi found it necessary to intervene and stop Minato directly. After their battle, Tobi was forced to retreat due to being severely injured by Minato. He even complimented Minato and stated he was worthy of his title of "Fourth Hokage".
Like Tobirama Senju, Minato could detect the presence of people within an area by simply placing his finger on the ground. Minato's fighting style often excluded time consuming hand seals that give enemies an opening so he often relies on his two original techniques: the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Rasengan.
One of Minato's trademark attributes was his immense speed and instantaneous reflexes, able to react fast enough to catch an infant Naruto mid-fall to prevent him from being stabbed by Tobi. This attribute earned him the moniker of "Konoha's Yellow Flash". He could also respond to Tobi's Space–Time Migration technique quickly enough to escape it. He is often referred to throughout the series as the fastest shinobi who ever lived, with the speed of the currently fastest living shinobi often being compared to his own, such as A or Naruto in his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, with the former admitting that even with his Lightning Release Armour enhancing his speed and reflexes was still outmatched by Minato. Even when assisted by his brother, A was unable to lay a hand on Minato. When fighting, he mainly employed the use of his unique kunai, wielding them proficiently and taking advantage of their particular form, which made them even more suitable for close range combat than standard kunai. Using this type of kunai, he was able to nearly sever one of the Eight-Tails' tentacles when B moved to save his brother from Minato's counter-attack despite having nearly no leverage, showing that he possessed a great deal of strength.
Minato spent three years creating the Rasengan by observing the Tailed Beast Ball. It is the highest level of shape transformation and it does not require hand signs to be performed. Instead, using a concentration of spinning chakra in the form of a sphere in the user's palm, immense damage is inflicted to its target upon contact. As its creator, Minato had great mastery over the Rasengan, able to form it with one hand and his standard version — at one point — being larger than the Rasengan used by other characters (roughly the size of the Big Ball Rasengan). The lack of elaborate preparations needed for the Rasengan gave Minato an advantage over other technique users in battle. For example, in his fight with Tobi, he is able to form a Rasengan right after throwing his marked kunai at him, allowing Minato to land a devastating blow immediately after performing the Flying Thunder God Technique.
He had intended to combine the Rasengan with his own nature transformation, but the task was too difficult to complete.
Space–Time Ninjutsu
Minato was famous for his unique space–time technique, the Flying Thunder God Technique, which essentially allowed him to teleport to any location with untraceable movements Minato had through the use of special seals. By throwing kunai that had the seal attached to them behind enemy lines, Minato could wipe out an entire platoon in the blink of an eye. Minato could teleport to his special kunai even as it travelled through the air. He was also capable of applying the seal to solid surfaces with his bare hand, allowing him to tag opponents and give himself an easy way to track and reach them. He also incorporated this seal formula into Kushina's seal so he could always come to her aid, at any time.
For defensive use, Minato was capable of implementing space–time barriers to counter large attacks such as a Tailed Beast Ball, sending the blast to a distant area away from the village. He was even able to teleport things as large as the Nine-Tails itself, albeit at the cost of a large portion of his chakra due to the beast's immense size.
Minato was very knowledgeable in fūinjutsu, partially due to Kushina teaching him some of the Uzumaki clan's unique sealing techniques. He knew the full capabilities of the Dead Demon Consuming Seal and was aware that he could not completely seal all of the Nine-Tails' chakra within the death god. Minato could also remove an opponent's ability to use the Summoning Technique.
The greatest example of his prowess with fūinjutsu is the seal used on Naruto, placing two Four Symbols Seal to create the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style, which would allow small amounts of the Nine-Tails' chakra to leak out and naturally mix with Naruto's own. Minato also sealed some of Kushina's and his own chakra within Naruto so that they could see him when he was older and assist him in dealing with the beast.
In his youth, Jiraiya taught Minato how to use the Summoning Technique to summon toads. He was able to summon Gamabunta, showing considerably large reserves of chakra in doing so, and was one of the few people that Gamabunta would willingly cooperate with. He could use the Summoning: Food Cart Destroyer Technique for a devastating surprise attack that could even pin powerful large targets like the Nine-Tails down.
Minato was shown to be very intuitive and clever from a young age. Of the many ninja sent out to save Kushina from her Kumogakure kidnappers, Minato was the only one to notice the trail of hair she was leaving. After seeing a technique once, he could correctly deduce the basic mechanics behind it, such as the strengths and weaknesses of Kakashi's Chidori. During difficult events, he was still capable of maintaining his composure, assessing the situation, and devising appropriate plans of action. During his skirmish against Tobi, he was able to determine that his opponent didn't want to drag on their fight as he could not keep Kurama summoned for very long, as well as quickly ascertain a method of counter-attacking. Using this information, he was able to take advantage of Tobi's haste to not only wound him, but also remove his control over the beast as well.

To help assist small and minority-owned businesses, Workers' Credit Union said it has made a $20,000 contribution to the North Central Massachusetts Development Corp.
The development corporation works with local financial institutions to assist businesses throughout the region, said the $913 million Workers' CU in Fitchburg, Mass.
David McKeehan, president of North Central Massachusetts Development Corp., said the credit union's donation will be instrumental towards its goal of increasing economic opportunities for residents and businesses.
Contributing to the effort was in keeping with the credit union's goal of doing what's right for the community, said Doug Petersen, president/CEO of Workers' CU.
"The more we can foster economic opportunities, the more it will help create a stronger and healthier community," Petersen said.

Toyota's Prius has been a runaway
success for the company. First introduced as an '01 model in 2000
in the United States market, the hybrid has continually gained in
sales, gotten larger to accommodate American tastes, and has become
more powerful and more fuel efficient.
According to a recent
report from Motor Trend magazine, a new variant of the
Prius will take boost passenger space and cargo capacity even
further. Toyota is reportedly working on an "Alpha" minivan
which will share its platform with the current third-generation
The Alpha is said to ride on a wheelbase that is one inch longer
than the current Prius hybrid's 106.3 inches and overall length will
be roughly a foot longer at around 187.6 inches. The Alpha will also
have an extra row of seating bringing total passenger capacity to
seven (up from five in the current Prius hatchback).
Although the Alpha will be larger and heavier than standard Prius,
some of the added weight is expected to be offset by the use of a
lithium-ion (li-ion) battery pack instead of the heavier nickel-metal
hybrid battery pack currently used. According to Motor Trend,
a li-ion pack would be roughly a third the weight of the existing
battery pack.
Still, the Alpha is likely to get worse mileage than its more
lithe counterpart. The Prius hatchback is rated at a combined 50 mpg,
so a heftier people mover based on the same platform would probably
score somewhere around 45 mpg by our estimates.
However, that would still put it ahead of small family haulers
like the Mazda 5 and Kia Rondo which are rated at 24 mpg and 22 mpg
combined respectively.

With more
stringent fuel economy standards looming in the U.S. and elsewhere, auto manufacturers
are looking to pull out all the stops to improve economy as much as possible.
Carmakers are turning to technology like direct injection and automatic start/stop.
Several automakers are also using cylinder deactivation on their larger
Cylinder deactivation is something that some carmakers in the U.S. and abroad
have used for years. Chrysler has used the technology in its Hemi engines,
Honda uses it on some of its V6 models, and Audi will use cylinder deactivation
in its new
line of "S" performance models.
VW is set
to make a first in the automotive market by offering cylinder deactivation on its 4-cylinder
The VW tech will turn off two engine cylinders under certain conditions. The
engine is called the 1.4L TSI and VW promises that it will offer a fuel
savings of 0.4-liters/100km and when combined with start/stop technology the
vehicle would save 0.6-liters of fuel. For those more familiar with U.S. mpg
ratings, that works out to an improvement of in the range of 3 to 4.5 mpg on average.
The engine would turn off two of the cylinders under low to medium loads, and
VW says that the tech will meet the future European EU6 emissions standards.
The cylinders will be deactivated when the engine is operating between 1,400
and 4,000 rpm and the engine torque is in the range of 25 to 75Nm.
VW claims that operating range applies to about 70 percent of the driving
distance in the EU fuel economy driving cycle. VW also points out that as soon
as the driver presses the pedal the cylinders will reactivate without the
driver being able to tell it happened. The cylinders also would not turn off if
the vehicle were being driven in a sporty manner apparently.

CULC President/CEO Testifies on Proposed Foreclosure Bill in Connecticut
Anthony Emerson, president/CEO of the Credit Union League of Connecticut, said he waited for nearly eight hours this week to testify in front of a state assembly committee in Hartford, Conn., which is considering proposed legislation, House Bill 6355, that would make changes to the mediation process for homeowners who are in jeopardy of losing their homes to foreclosure.
"This is an extremely contested issue," said Emerson. "There were 30 people who testified. I got to the state house at 1:30 p.m. and testified at 9 p.m."
Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy backs the bill and said the proposed legislation offers protections to homeowners engaged in the mediation process, ensuring it is efficient and fair.
But in his testimony during a committee hearing on Tuesday, Emerson said the proposed bill might create "unintended consequences in the form of added provision expenses, resulting in unnecessary incurred expenses that would further deteriorate the bottom line of a fragile, but slowly recovering industry."
Emerson said he heard testimony from several Connecticut citizens who had harrowing experiences when they went through the mediation and foreclosure process. Connecticut's mediation program is designed to help people keep their homes.
However, none of the citizens who testified reported any negative experiences with credit unions or community banks. Instead, Emerson said, the issues Connecticut residents testified about involved large commercial banks.
Emerson said credit unions work with members who are struggling with mortgages, pointing out that less than 50 credit union mortgages have gone into foreclosure among Connecticut's 125 state and federally chartered credit unions.
"The bill prescribes certain actions that may hinder the processes already used by credit unions as they diligently work to help their members remain in their homes," he said.
In lieu of the proposed legislation, Emerson recommended that state legislators consider administrative changes to improve the mediation process.
"They liked that idea," said Emerson. "So we'll see what happens."

A fecal occult blood test (FOBT) is a test to detect the presence of blood in the stool, also known as feces.
Reasons for Test
An FOBT is used to screen for colon and rectal cancers.
It may also used to detect blood in the stool if you are having abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, or other symptoms.
What to Expect
Prior to Test
A positive FOBT does not mean you have cancer. Other things can cause a positive test. Minor stomach bleeding from certain medications, hemorrhoids, or eating certain foods can cause a positive test. To help avoid this:
Avoid certain medications and foods, such as:
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for 7 days prior to testing. If you are taking them daily for medical conditions, talk to your doctor before you stop taking them.
- Red meats, cantaloupe, uncooked vegetables, blood sausage, and possibly hot sauce for 3 days before testing
- Wait until your hemorrhoids are not bleeding.
- Avoid having the test during your menstrual period.
- Avoid cleaning your toilet bowl for several days before the test. Chemicals from the cleanser can affect the test.
Description of Test
The test is most often done at home.
When you are ready to have a bowel movement, you will set up the kit according to the instructions. The kit should allow you to collect 3 samples of stool. Some kits provide a disposable container into which you can pass your bowel movement. Other kits provide you with tissue paper or plastic wrap that you can lay in the toilet to keep your stool sample from sinking into the water.
Another option is to turn off the water valve to the toilet tank and flush the toilet a couple of times to empty most of the water out of the toilet bowl. When ready, pass the bowel movement into the bowl. Collect the sample, then turn the water supply back on to allow for flushing.
Using thin wooden sticks provided with the kit, you will pick up a small sample of stool. You will then smear the sample onto a special card. If you do not have hemorrhoids, some doctors may allow you to smear the sample onto the card with stool from toilet paper. The card folds over to protect the stool sample.
After Test
You will mail or deliver the cards to the clinic or lab. Make sure you have written your name on each card.
How Long Will It Take?
The test should only take a few minutes.
Will It Hurt?
This test will not hurt.
If blood is found in your stool, you may be asked to have additional tests. These tests will help to determine the cause of the bleeding. Although cancer may be one cause of blood in the stool, there are many other causes.
Call Your Doctor
After the test, call your doctor if any of the following occur:
- Development of any new symptoms
- Worsening of existing symptoms
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Teardown: Samsung Galaxy S4
17 comments
If there is one thing I have learned in my years on this planet, it would be that it is human nature to staunchly choose sides. Whether it is Republican or Democrat, Coke or Pepsi, and Mac or PC, people love to rally behind the products they love and disparage the ones they dont.
In the case of the smartphone industry, this product battle was an evolution, albeit a slow one. Smartphones had been around for some time before the Apple iPhone changed the industry. Suddenly, smartphones were cool and, to be cool, one naturally had to forgo their BlackBerry or Nokia for an iPhone and its simple, intuitive iOS operating system and iPod integration. Just like anything designated cool by the masses, a counter-culture to the iPhone phenomenon had to exist for those who didnt want to conform to the masses and purchase an Apple handset. When Google introduced the Android OS, the opposite crowd rallied behind it and the argument became Apple vs. Android.
Samsung then introduced the Galaxy S handset. Incorporating the Android OS platform and a similar approach to design like Apple, Samsung took a design approach of giving consumers more than what the current version of the iPhone could offer. Give them everything the iPhone can do, and then give them MORE. The Galaxy S became the flagship handset not only of Samsung but also of the Android platform.
The Samsung Galaxy SII built up the success of the S upon its release and helped pull Androids usage numbers ahead of iOS. Then came the handset that firmly established Samsung as the choice of the handset counter-culturethe Samsung Galaxy SIII. The SIII, offering many features that its competitor, the iPhone 4, could not match, was a resounding successselling over 40 million units since its launch. A larger, high-resolution screen, a more powerful quad-core processor (or dual-core for some models) and LTE coverage offered by the Samsung Galaxy SIII helped create new battle lines. You were now in one of two campsiPhone or Galaxy S.

JV with a nice block.
JV with a nice block.
Lucas is on the floor, be careful now!
Not watching the game but was checking the stats and wow we're 5/6 from downtown? Wow. Usually it's like 2/23 or some nonsense.
Love Acy so far! Hope to see more of him as the last few games get played out
Was anyone watching the LEague Pass/Detroit broadcast when they had an ad for their halftime show for an upcoming home game vs. the BUlls.....freakin Salt n Pepa....
lol hilarious that jose was trying to walk into the raptors dressing room at halftime and had to be turned around
Good learning game for JV. He wasn't getting any respect at all from the officials in the 1st half. His line could easily have 2 less missed FGAs and 4-5 more FTAs.
As usual, he responds well by maintaining strong energy and focus. He's been having one of his better games defensively so far...even though he only has 2 boards, somehow.
Too bad no one else is playing any D out there. Can't let Detroit shoot 60%

Candles will glow Sunday, Dec. 9, when tens of thousands of bereaved parents, siblings, grandparents, relatives, and friends around the globe will join together to light remembrance candles to honor the memories of children who have died, but will never be forgotten. Held annually the second Sunday in December, this will be the 16th Worldwide Candle Lighting sponsored by The Compassionate Friends (TCF), the nations largest self-help bereavement organization for families that have suffered the tragic loss of a child.
The local candle lighting, held by the Four Corners chapter, will be part of a special service held on Sunday, Dec. 9 at 6:30 p.m. at Grace Fellowship, 24 N. Chestnut in Cortez (use the back entrance off of North St.) and will feature music, poems, and a special movie showing our children. If you would like your child included in the movie, submit a photo and information by Wednesday, Dec. 5. To contact the Four Corners chapter of The Compassionate Friends, call Debbie Snead at 565-4732, or Cherie McAndrew at 565-6480.
Annually tens of thousands of families, united in loss, light candles for one hour during the Worldwide Candle Lighting. Candles are first lit at 7 p.m. local time, just west of the International Date Line. As candles burn down in one time zone, they are lighted in the next, creating a 24-hour wave of light as the observance continues around the world.

Life on the road with Kisongo Trek
As an event coordinator with the World Vision Experience, Kristin McGunnigle tours the country, bringing World Vision's work around the world directly to you. Beginning with the Step into Africa exhibit four years ago, this year she has been coordinating the latest rendition of the Experience: Kisongo Trek.
Today, she shares her own thoughts on that project.
* * *
In January, I found out that once again I would be hitting the road with World Vision. When I first joined World Vision four years ago, I had the incredible opportunity to tour with World Vision's Step into Africa exhibit, traveling around the United States to help educate people about the global AIDS pandemic and how they could be a part of the solution.
Now, I had the opportunity for a second World Vision Experience tour.
In February, I packed my bags for an undetermined amount of time and hopped on a plane to Nashville, where we launched Kisongo Trek to the world. World Vision Experience has the unique opportunity to bring the story of World Vision and the Tanzanian village of Kisongo to the masses.
Very few people get the chance to leave their comfort zone, explore the landscape of Africa, and meet the people there. With Kisongo Trek, we are able to bring that experience to your front door, enabling you and your community to experience the real Africa without all the jetlag.
You get a chance to see the magic of Tanzania's famed wilderness and explore a real community where World Vision works. You get to see how the community has been transformed through its partnership with World Vision.
A visitor to Kisongo once told me, "I live near Kisongo, and I thought there is no way they could have done this right. After coming through, I must confess my early judgment. You captured my community so well."
The reality of this story and the way that it can impact your own community is immeasurable. There are hundreds of stories I could tell you from the road: reactions to various parts of the story, unexpected laughs or lives changed. But one in particular stands out. Recently, while enduring a long day on site, I interacted with an 8- or 9-year-old boy toward the end of the experience. He desperately wanted to help in some way. He asked his mom if they could sponsor a child.
Mom was a bit reluctant at first, but the little boy proudly stated that he wanted to use his allowance to help the child be sponsored.
There is now a family in Georgia supporting a child in another part of the world -- two families changed forever as a result of this unique experience.
In the first few months of the tour, we endured some bumps and bruises, long days, and many miles on the road. But I was once again reminded of what bringing these experiences to people can do: they transform people, change their perspectives, and inspire them to want to do more.
I feel privileged to have a small role in how God is using this tool to transform people not only here in the United States but all around the world. I can't wait to how God will continue to use this experience to transform hearts.
Find out whether Kisongo Trek is coming to a community near you -- or learn how you can bring it to your community by visiting the World Vision Experience website.

Why World Vision? Educating children for life
Worldwide, 67 million elementary-aged children are not enrolled in school. Every one of them is at greater risk of exploitation, early marriage, and lower income over the course of their life. World Vision works to break down the barriers that keep kids out of school and to ensure that students receive a quality education. Today's infographic shows how.
Check back throughout the week for graduation gift ideas, perspectives on our work, and an interview on Friday with one of our Education directors!
If you missed any posts from the first four weeks of our "Why World Vision?" campaign, you can find them all at the link above — including infographics, stories from the field, and Q&As with our experts!
Child sponsorship is the cornerstone of World Vision's approach to community development. Join us! Change a child's life for good. Sponsoring a child helps provide a quality education and other life-saving basics. Consider sponsoring a child today!
Along with our Why World Vision? campaign, we introduced our limited-edition T-shirt line to support the campaign through a partnership with Jedidiah Clothing. Don't miss the designs for Education!

A wrist sprain is stretching or tearing of the ligaments that support the wrist. Ligaments are strong bands of tissue that connect bones to each other.
The most common causes for wrist sprains are falling on an outstretched hand and repetitive motion.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of getting a wrist sprain include:
- Playing sports
- Job- or activity-related repetitive motion of the wrist
- Poor coordination
- Poor balance
- Reduced flexibility and strength in muscles and ligaments
- Loose joints
- Not wearing wrist guards during activities, such as in-line skating
A wrist sprain may cause:
- Pain, tenderness, and swelling around the wrist
- Redness, warmth, or bruising around the wrist
- Limited ability to move the wrist
It can be hard to tell the difference between a wrist sprain and a fracture or dislocation of one of the small wrist bones. See your doctor if there is any deformity, swelling, or if you are unable to move your wrist or hand.
You will be asked about your symptoms and how you injured your wrist. An exam of your wrist will be done to check the stability of the joint and the severity of the injury.
Imaging tests may include:
Wrist sprains are graded according to their severity:
- Grade 1—Some stretching with micro-tearing of ligament tissue
- Grade 2—Partial tearing of ligament tissue
- Grade 3—Complete tearing of ligament tissue
Treatment includes:
Acute Care
Your wrist will need time to heal. Avoid activities that cause pain or put extra stress on your wrist.
Ice may help decrease swelling and pain in the first few days after the injury.
Your doctor may advise:
- Over-the-counter medication, such as ibuprofen
- Topical pain medication—creams or patches that are applied to the skin
- Prescription pain relievers
Note: Aspirin is not recommended for children with a current or recent viral infection. Check with your doctor before giving your child aspirin.
Compression can help prevent more swelling. This can be done using an elastic compression bandage around the wrist.
Elevation can also help keep swelling down. Elevate the arm higher than the heart as much as possible. A couple of days of elevation might be recommended for severe strains.
Support may be needed to help protect, support, and keep your wrist in line while it heals. Supportive steps may include:
- A brace—A brace may need to be worn to keep the wrist still as it heals.
- A cast—A cast may be needed for 2-3 weeks in cases of severe sprain.
- Rehabilitation exercises—Exercises to restore flexibility, range of motion, and strength in the wrist may be advised by a doctor or physical therapist.
- Surgery—Surgery is rarely needed to repair a wrist sprain. However, surgery may be needed to repair a ligament that is torn completely, or if there is an associated fracture .
Wrist sprains may not always be preventable. There are steps you can take to reduce your chance of getting a wrist sprain. These include:
- Wearing protective equipment and using proper technique while playing sports
- Keep wrists strong with regular exercises to absorb the energy of sudden physical stress

NCUA Reports Record Profits for Industry in 2012
NCUA Board Chairman Debbie Matz said Friday that the credit union industry's $8.5 billion record profit in 2012, along with other key financials, made for a "pivotal year" and said there are many reasons to be optimistic about the future.
However, she also warned against interest rate risk due to a concentration of fixed rate mortgages on credit union books.
"Credit unions had a pivotal year in 2012," Matz said as the agency released its 2012 year-ending Call Report data. "The industry generated record earnings, assets crossed the $1 trillion mark and membership grew by more than 2 million."
The record $8.5 billion net income represents a 36.1% increase from the $6.3 billion reported in 2011, the NCUA said. The increase came largely from reductions in loan loss reserves, a sign of improving economic conditions.
Federal credit unions reported $597.7 billion in outstanding loans at year-end, a 4.6% increase for the year. First mortgage loans, by far the industry's largest outstanding loan category, increased 5.7% for the year to reach $246.3 billion. Used auto loans rose 7.9% for the year to $115.2 billion, and new auto loans grew 8.7% to $63.3 billion.
Net member business loan balances expanded 6.5% for the year to $41.7 billion.
The fastest growing loan category for credit unions in 2012 was private student loans, which jumped 35.6% for the year. Private student loans have experienced rising delinquency rates overall, but credit union market share outstanding is only a little more than $2 billion.
Payday alternative loans reached $21.3 million at the end of 2012, up 15.2% for the year.
Growth was most robust in credit unions with assets above $250 million. This group of 751 credit unions showed the largest gains in nearly every category, including membership, net worth, market share, loans and assets.
Overall, federal credit union membership grew to 93.8 million in 2012. Total assets were slightly over $1 trillion, the agency said.
