You just knew there were going to be pictures.
You don't mix Prince Harry, bikini-clad girls, alcohol, pool parties, strip billiards, Las Vegas and an iPhone camera into one boiling pot of testosterone and NOT expect some fallout.
It was all pretty innocent fun until TMZ.com published a couple of pictures of the 27-year-old bachelor royal in his birthday suit on Wednesday. You could almost hear the clenching of jaws and butts in Buckingham Palace, bracing for the outrage.
Hardly. If anything, Prince Harry has been given the old nudge and a wink from the majority of his countrymen -- even the British press, who are feeling somewhat constrained under pressure by Buckingham Palace.
Although pictures from the romp in his Vegas suite appeared in various forms around the web, they did not show up on any British news websites. Word is the Palace acted quickly to warn publishers that they would appeal to the UK's Press Complaints Commission, whose code of ethics states that it is "unacceptable" to photograph people in private places without their consent.
Already under pressure in the wake of the Leveson inquiry into the News of the World phone hacking scandal, the British press lamented their postion in the post-inquiry world while giving Harry plenty of ink in other ways.
Here's a bit from Dan Hodges in the Guardian:
"... I'm sorry, I just can't get upset about it. Actually, if I'm really honest my initial reaction was one of sneaking admiration: "What a lad. That's exactly how I want my princes to be behaving," I thought to myself.
Of course I should really know better. And so should Prince Harry. After all, the guy is 27 years old. He enjoys enormous privileges and a position of significant responsibility.
But who am I kidding. When I was 27, that's exactly the sort of thing I was up to. Well, it's the sort of thing I would have been up to, if I could have used the chat-up line "I'm third in line to the British throne."
The females in the journalistic fraternity were equally admiring … here's Victoria Murphy in the Mirror:
"The picture of all pictures. Prince Harry standing naked desperately covering his crown jewels.
Cue uproar about how the party prince has brought shame on the royal family, how his behaviour is "disgraceful" and how he shouldn't be allowed to cavort around indulging in "debauched" late night games of strip billiards.
Oh, come on.
Isn't this exactly why we all love him?
Prince Harry has won the public's affections because of his fun-loving, go-for-it attitude. We love him because of it, not in spite of it.
His antics in Vegas haven't hurt anyone. He hasn't been over there having punch-ups, taking drugs or even saying nasty things about anyone.
He's just been joining in, doing what all his mates are doing (but lucky for them no-one is interesting in seeing them naked) and having a good time."
Tom Chivers in the Telegraph struck a cautionary note to the prince's supporters:
"It's absolutely fine to be going out and getting leathered at 27. It's absolutely fine to be playing naked billiards or whatever. But by 27, if you're a member of the Royal family, you really should have worked out that you're really going to have to do it behind closed doors."
And what will the Palace think? So far, it has been mum, aside from confirming that the nude male in question is indeed Harry (presuming that the positive ID came from his only piece of clothing -- a medallion around his neck). There most certainly will be questions about how much (and what kind of) protection is coming from his royal protection officers.
Harry headed back to Britain on Wednesday, ready to resume his military preparations before likely deployment to Afghanistan later this year. He will face a possible dressing down from his military superiors for conduct unbecoming for sure, but it would be laughable for his father Charles to lecture him, given his own indiscretions.
If they are wise, the Palace will remain tight-lipped, at least publically. This will only add to Harry's popularity.
Piers Morgan, former Brit tabloid man and now CNN's prime-time TV offering, couldn't resist tweeting: "I'm shocked and disgusted by the Prince Harry party photos in Vegas. Why the hell wasn't I invited????"
Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, sees no love lost for Harry: "Of course it's stupid, but it doesn't make people dislike him -- quite the opposite. It shows that he is a guy who gets into trouble and he's the one people love to love. It could only happen to Harry -- but we love him for it."
Yes, there has been the usual "monarchy's a waste of money" diatribes, but, coming off the high of a successful Olympics, the tolerance level for Harry is high. This is not a transgression on the level of wearing a swastika to a party (for which he apologized in 2005).
And lets not forget he has the luxury of having an older brother (right) who fits a more traditional definition of royal respectability.
It will be source of some sibling ribbing that while Harry was splashing about in America's Sin City, Prince William was dutifully rescuing a Canadian from the cliffs of Wales.
Alex van Straubenzee, whose son Thomas is a longtime Harry pal, told the BBC that Harry's royal value far outweighs any bare-bottomed behaviour.
"I know him to be a thoroughly normal, fun-loving but responsible and caring young man and I should think any young man that is caught on camera who is a celebrity of some type is easy meat regardless of whether it is true or not," van Straubenzee said. "If you're in the public eye as he and his brother are, then of course you're going to be worried about adverse publicity but there's so much good that he does that it's the sort of thing that people will know them for rather than a bit of high-jinks or fun when they're on holiday."
We'll leave the last words to the masses from reader comments:
- "Harry does his best to change the American perception of British men as pasty, flabby, impotent homosexuals. What was he thinking ?!"
- "I very much doubt the Queen will care (Navy wife, Navy mother, will have seen it all) Prince Phillip will probably ask why he wasn't invited and Charles will presumably be happy that his sons seem to have grown up to be relatively well adjusted, odds stacked against them though they were."
- "It all just adds weight to the republican argument so we can get rid of these freeloaders."
- "Ah for god sake he's no different to any other lad his age. So what if he was playing strip billiards or whatever it was. It was in his own time n of no ones business. To be honest the person who leaked the photos should be looked down upon n prosecuted for breaching someone's personal space."
- "If he was my son, or brother, I would be proud of him. Especially knowing that he puts his life on the line for our freedoms. He deserves his time of relaxation & fun. What should he be doing? Sitting in a rocking chair, looking out the window of Windsor castle?"
- "I'll admit when I saw the headline 'prince Harry hanging out in Vegas' I was expecting a more mundane picture."
- "Britain, be proud of William & Harry. We Yank's are, and they're not even US citizen's. So......if you don't want them, than send them over here to live, as we American's would be proud to have them."

I'd be hard pressed to imagine a more perfect evening bag than Edie Parker's deco, glitter flecked clutches. I love the structured shape, glossy finish, and of course the glitter, and it seems that I'm not alone. Last night Solange Knowles, Arizona Muse, and jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer Maguire all walked their Edie Parkers down the Met Ball red carpet.
I mean...so cool, right? They say three makes a trend, so expect to see lots more of the label's vintage-inspired wares. Bling it on, I say! Solange chose this silver and gold rectangle shape, while Jennifer went with a smaller box with a mother of pearl finish.
Solange's pick: Edie Parker Flavia in Silver and Gold Confetti, edie-parker.com
I've actually been obsessing over these clutches since I first spied them at Bergdorf's this fall. I'm a total nut for anything sparkly, and I'd carry one of these guys literally everywhere, but how chic would one be paired with a breezy dress for a summer wedding?
To be fair, these designs are on the splurgey, spendy end of the spectrum, but there are plenty of other options if you want to get in on the trend.

Editor's note: David Frum writes a weekly column for CNN.com. A special assistant to President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2002, he is the author of six books, including "Comeback: Conservatism That Can Win Again," and is the editor of FrumForum.
Washington (CNN) -- Over at Bloomberg, Jonathan Alter poses a question to non-supporters of President Obama:
"Tell me again why Barack Obama has been such a bad president? I'm not talking here about him as a tactician and communicator. We can agree that he has played some bad poker with Congress. ... (But) what, specifically, has he done wrong on policy?"
OK, I'll play.
Obama made three crucially bad economic decisions in the first year of his presidency:
1) Obama deferred to Democrats in Congress on the writing of his fiscal stimulus. He fought for a big total, but he paid much less attention to what was included in the total. The predictable result: a stimulus that most economists condemn as very poorly designed.
Congress larded up the stimulus with ancient Democratic wish lists utterly irrelevant to the crisis at hand: $15 billion for more Pell grants, $9 billion for community and rural development, $20 billion for the renewable energy tax credit and so on. $87 billion was used to bail out state governments that had overspent on Medicaid. About $140 billion was put toward individual tax rebates that -- most economists warned -- would do little or nothing to stimulate economic activity.
Only about $100 billion of the stimulus -- one dollar in eight -- went to support new infrastructure projects. When Americans wonder: "Where's our Hoover Dam? Where's our East River Drive?" the answer is directly traced to Obama's abdication of decision-making in 2009.
Obama may have assumed that if his first stimulus failed, he could always go back for a second. But his mission in 2009 was to overwhelm the crisis. Instead, he allowed congressional Democratic spending priorities to overwhelm his economic leadership.
2) Obama failed to mobilize the Federal Reserve to support his fiscal stimulus.
During the financial meltdown of 2008-09, the Fed acted boldly and decisively to save the banking system. Once the banking crisis was contained, however, the Fed's boldness faded. It ended its first round of quantitative easing in spring 2010, for fear of sparking inflation. Yet inflation barely existed as a problem in 2010, while unemployment remained desperate.
Jared Bernstein: Look at the evidence, the Recovery Act worked
When the economy sputtered and stalled in summer 2010, the Fed reacted slowly. Not until almost the end of the year did it try a second -- and much smaller -- round of quantitative easing. QE2 provided a little economic impetus in early 2011, but by summer 2011, the U.S. economy had stalled again.
The Federal Reserve has not delivered anywhere close to the monetary stimulus the U.S. economy needs. Yes, the Fed is independent of the president. But presidents can shape the Fed through their power to name Federal Reserve governors. Obama has failed to get his people on the board. Yes, he's encountered Republican obstruction. I make no excuse for such behavior by some figures in my party. On the other hand, Obama is hardly the first president in history to encounter obstruction. The difference between Obama and his predecessors: When obstructed, Obama usually yields.
3) Obama bet his presidency on the best-case scenario.
By happy coincidence, the best-ever study of the aftermath of financial crises -- Kenneth Rogoff's and Carmen Reinhart's "This Time Is Different" -- was published just in time for 2009.
They warn: Recovery from a crash like 2008 can take years. Yet even armed with this information, Obama did nothing to prepare the public or his administration for the worst. Instead, he allowed his vice president to tout 2010 as "recovery summer."
There was no contingency plan, and by the time Obama at last produces his Plan B when he gives a jobs speech in September, he will face an implacably hostile Congress. That September plan will become his 2012 campaign manifesto -- which means that the unemployed can hope for no action from him until early 2013.
I can anticipate the reaction of Obama defenders like Alter to this indictment: "Obama did all that was politically possible."
To which I can answer: Invoking the limits of the possible may be a sympathetic excuse for failure -- but it does not transform failure into success.
I don't minimize the difficulty of the situation Obama faced in 2009. Maybe no president could have been equal to the crisis. But let's not pretend that the right choices were made in those critical months. They were not, and the country is now suffering the consequences.
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of David Frum.

Our Floor Coating Process
White Rabbit takes the integrity of your floors—and our product—seriously. We know that the foundation of every quality floor coating project is in the prep work. Where many companies skip corners, White Rabbit goes the extra mile to ensure that you have the ideal surface for our floor coatings to adhere to.
For every project, we begin by grinding the existing surface with diamond grinders—exposing a fresh surface and opening the pores of your concrete. This allows for better wicking into the surface, leading to better adhesion and a longer lasting floor. Floor preparation is crucial to the proper installation of the floor coating system. Without proper floor preparation, the floor coating liquids will not be able to penetrate and bond to concrete. To ensure proper bonding, a concrete grinder with diamond bits removes a slight portion of the top coat of the concrete, thereby opening the pores of the concrete and providing an anchor for adhesion.
After the floor has been ground a sufficient amount, we will ensure that all holes, divots, and uneven areas are filled, leaving you with a smooth, level surface.
Next, our floor coatings are applied and thoroughly checked for a smooth, even finish. Once the coatings have cured, we will apply a topcoat for added protection. The topcoat provides the ultimate protection against stains and normal wear and tear. A topcoat will also make cleaning the floor a breeze unlike other products on the market. Think of the topcoat like a clear coat for your car. The automotive industry doesn't manufacture cars without a clear coat, do they?
Since we use an industrial-grade polyurea coating, your floors can be ready for foot traffic in as little as 6-8 hours! Please wait 24 hours before moving heavy machinery onto freshly coated floor surfaces.

R&D Platforms
Investing in Next Generation Approaches to Enable Tomorrow's Innovative Therapies
Pfizer's pipeline contains next generation therapies that include small-molecule therapies, large-molecule biologics, and vaccines. For each of these types of compounds, we use cutting-edge platforms to bring best-in-class therapies to patients.
Key R&D Platforms
Precision Medicine: Precision medicine entails using cutting-edge science, biology, and medical knowledge to select the right targets, develop the right therapy/combination therapy, and identify the patients who are more likely to respond to a specific therapy.
Therapeutic Vaccines: Pfizer is expanding the application of vaccines to include therapeutic vaccines under investigation with the potential to target chronic conditions or treat diseases. We are exploring whether vaccines can do more than prevent disease. We believe vaccines may be able to treat disease by stimulating specific immune responses. Pfizer researching therapeutic vaccines for smoking cessation, allergic rhinitis/asthma and cancer.
Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs): ADCs are highly promising therapies that provide targeted delivery of an antibody with a small-molecule therapy to treat disease. While ADCs have the potential to treat a variety of diseases, our most advanced programs are in oncology -combining highly selective antibodies, which are large-molecular biologics that can find cancerous cells, with a small-molecule therapy designed to attack a tumor.
Tissue-targeted New Chemical Entities (NCEs): Pfizer is applying next-generation technology to enhance selectivity of small molecules to target specific tissues and deliver therapy to localized areas.
Next-Generation Biologics: Pfizer is building on its expertise to design the next biologic therapies with the goal of delivering great potency and specificity. In some cases, this includes combining the activity of multiple anti-bodies that improve the treatments for cancer, rare diseases, autoimmune diseases and other conditions.
We believe innovation not only calls for the right type of technology to be matched to a specific medical need, but may also require new ways of combining technologies. This broad expertise – and a commitment to knowledge-sharing – is crucial in developing the therapies of tomorrow that will matter most for patients.

**Cypress, CA June 8, 2012**** – **The Yamaha Extended Service/Graves/Yamaha team is pleased to announce that
[Everything old is blue again. Tommy Hayden was one of the original Yamaha YZF-R6 racers. Here he is, in 1999, the year that the first-generation R6 debuted. Note Tommy's trademark #22 on the bike.
Tommy Hayden will continue to compete for the team in AMA Pro GoPro Daytona SportBike throughout the entirety of the 2012 season, and he will also be racing a YZF-R6 carrying the #22, Tommy's iconic, signature number. The announcement was made by Keith McCarty, Motorsports Racing Division Manager for Yamaha.
Tommy, who was called into last-minute duty for the Daytona 200 after Y.E.S./Graves/Yamaha team rider Garrett Gerloff was injured in the first practice session of the DSB season, has been racing the #8 R6 as a fill-in rider for Garrett. Tommy is currently just two points out of third place in the DSB Championship.
Commenting on the announcement, Keith McCarty said, "All of us on the team and at Yamaha and Graves Motorsports are thrilled to be able to have Tommy remain with us throughout the rest of the 2012 season, and having him on the #22 R6 is icing on the cake. Fans know the legacy of the number 22 as it pertains to Tommy, and we're looking forward to seeing that number on a Yamaha once again and back out on track in AMA Pro Racing competition. Tommy's been doing a great job for us as a substitute rider for Garrett, and we're glad to be able to keep the momentum going."
As for Garrett's status, Chuck Graves of Graves Motorsports said, "We hope to have Garrett continue to attend each AMA Pro Racing round as he's been doing. He's been providing awesome support to our team and attention to our fans. He'll return to testing and racing when his injury from Daytona has fully healed to the satisfaction of both his doctors and us. We expect that Garrett will be back on board his #8 Y.E.S./Graves/Yamaha sometime later in the season but, right now, we don't have a definitive date for his return to racing for us."
The next AMA Pro Racing round will be at Barber Motorsports Park on June 22-24, and the 2.38-mile, 13-turn circuit in Birmingham, Alabama, is a favorite venue for Tommy, who won a SuperBike race there in 2010 and also has three other wins at Barber.
When asked to comment on the return of "Tommy Gun," Tommy himself said, "I'm really excited to be able to continue racing for Y.E.S./Graves/Yamaha for the rest of the season. My approach to racing won't be any different. I try my best, no matter what. I definitely don't feel like I've performed to the best of my ability, so I'm glad to be able to continue with the team. We'll be working hard to get wins. Barber is a favorite track of mine, and it's closest to my home, so I'll be trying hard to get my first win of the season in front of my family and friends."
As for racing with the #22 again, Tommy said, "The number's been with me for quite a while--since my second year as a pro road racer--so it means a lot to me to have the 22 back on my bike. It's good for the fans, too. They know me by the number 22 more than anything, I'd say."

Health topics
Hospitals play an important role in the health care system. They are health care institutions that have an organized medical and other professional staff, and inpatient facilities, and deliver medical, nursing and related services 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
Hospitals offer a varying range of acute, convalescent and terminal care using diagnostic and curative services in response to acute and chronic conditions arising from diseases as well as injuries and genetic anomalies. In doing so they generate essential information for research, education and management.
Traditionally oriented on individual care, hospitals are increasingly forging closer links with other parts of the health sector and communities in an effort to optimize the use of resources for the promotion and protection of individual and collective health status.

Q: Besides koi, what are some other types of fish for my pond?
Judy – N Tonawada, NY
A: Koi may be the living jewels of the pond world, but you can choose from a variety of fish that are suitable for your water garden – most of which can be found at your local pet store. Some of our favorites include:
- Comets/Sarasa: Colorful and active, these varieties of goldfish are distinguished from their aquarium cousins by their long, single and deeply forked tail fin. In optimal conditions, their tails can grow up to 2 feet in length! Comets typically have red and white coloration with red appearing on the tail and dorsal fin. The Sarasa's color pattern, in fact, often resembles a kohaku's, making it quite koi-like. These guys have a life span of 7 to 14 years or more.
- Shubunkin: Another variety of goldfish, shubunkins sport opalescent red, white, grey, black and blue scales in a calico pattern – and the bluer, the better (according to fanciers). They have streamlined bodies with well-developed and even fins. Shubunkins, which hail from Japan, reach a length of 9 to 18 inches and live 7 to 14 years or more. They add a big splash of color to your pond.
- Plecostomus: Why not put your fish to work for you! The plecos is an omnivorous fish that will actually eat your string algae (as well as leftover fish food and other scraps). In a pond, sucker fish can grow up to 2 feet long. Because he is a tropical fish, he will need to be overwintered inside when water temperatures dip below 60° Fahrenheit because he'll die in temperatures below 55°F.
As temperatures start to dip in the fall, it's a great time to add new fish. Just make sure you have the necessity on hand to acclimate them. You'll need Pond Salt, which will reduce the fishes' stress, improve their gill function and protect them against common pond toxins while adding essential electrolytes to the water. You'll also need Stress Reducer PLUS, which forms a protective slime coat on your new fish, and removes chlorine, chloramines and heavy metals from tap water. For more tips for acclimating your new fish, check out our blog post here.
So many fishes, so little time … With all these fabulous finned friends to choose from, you'll wish you had a bigger pond!

The National Cancer Institute (INCan) has progressed from a rate of nine months of survival to 30 with personalized treatments for patients diagnosed with lung cancer in metastatic stage, i.e., when the disease has spread to different parts of the body.
In Mexico, as elsewhere, it is possible to give personalized treatment such as biomarkers and oral drugs to patients with this disease that have presented mutations in the epidermal growth factor.
"Currently, treatments against this disease are not the same for all patients as it was before with chemotherapies, today every person is given individual treatment," explains Gerardo Arrieta Oscar Rodriguez, head of the Laboratory of Experimental Oncology and Translational Medicine Studies at INCan.
According to the specialist at INCan, from tumor tissue samples, DNA was extracted to perform the test called PCR, through which mutations that the neoplasia has (abnormal mass of tissue) are analyzed.
"It's important to find and analyze mutations to know what the patient is susceptible to and, based on this, give a personalized treatment, for example, there are mutations with an epidermal growth factor that is the receptor of tumor cells, and the person that has it is submitted to a biomarker treatment that is less toxic than chemo and radiation treatments," explains Arrieta Rodriguez.
To determine the frequency of mutations in tumors from people in Mexico and Latin America, INCan has collected samples from five thousand patients (in Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Costa Rica and Colombia).
And in Mexico the frequency of mutations in patients with lung cancer is 35 to 40 percent, leading to a better response to personalized treatment, and knowing to what treatments the patient will respond.
"We have achieved an improvement of 80 percent in the metastatic stage and three times the survival, i.e., 30 months with good quality of life, while with chemotherapy the response is just 30 percent in some cases," said Arrieta Rodriguez .
Besides, the researchers further investigated the expression of molecules on the surface of tumor cells, and the evaders of the immune system, to be blocked in the future.
The specialist notes that in the next decade it will be possible to take the tumor and analyze it with massive sequencers and detect dozens of genes in order to say, "this patient is a candidate for this treatment, it will not work on this one and let's give this one this ."
The research group is currently involved in the project "Science that breathes," which has made available to the public a questionnaire to assess quality of life in people who have or have had cancer, looking to combine a lot of data to make better therapeutic decisions.

Are you on Twitter? Hell yeah, since 2007! We are @PhilMusic (http://twitter.com/philmusic) Follow Us!
bumili din ako kanina lang.. (not my pic)
You recorded using only the acoustic guitar effect, then played the loop, then turned on your delay/reverb, the delay/reverb is applied to the currently playing loop. [/li][/list]
may 2.1 na yata na update..for g3...not sure 2.1 or 3 basta may latest.. already updated mine last saturday
I was fed up with lugging a pedalboard, so bought one at JB for 11,800 petots. After tinkering with it a few days here are some tips for new g3xn users out there:Remember: The flow of the effects is from left to right. They ARE Japanese, after all. 1. Three screen scroll tip: "surf" along the active patch, as you press scroll up/scroll down, create patches on right location to activate the patch you want (example: change from patch 1 bank 1 to patch 1 bank 2 by using scroll up).2. Save on DSP by putting drums before looper, then deleting after you have recorded the rhythm loop/drum part. (yeah, looper and drum machine ARE effects types, just create a patch for solo home jams)3. I have observed they put ZNR (Zoom Noise Reduction) in between Amp models and Cabinet models, and also the manual says tum cab "mic" on when using using headphones/monitors, the sound changes but i cannot discern a real, predictable and useful effect though, use your ears, yours might be better than mine. 4. Scroll between effects types on a patch by pressing on one type button and pressing the other. Says so in the manual. Took me a week to find out hehe.5. Master level is way too loud, start on low volume as you might damage your ear or worse your speakers, you'll get by around 20-30.6. Put a small patch of rubber below the wah pedal, as you cannot activate the button below your pedal at will if you do not do so. I used an old TC Electronic rubber foot, used super glue, retained (fixed tightly) the 2 square rubbers on both sides to act as cushion and not damage the teenie weeny button. If you do not do so youll have to always activate your pedal by going from memory mode to pedalboard mode.7. Watch your DSP, you have to make a few patches, coz DSP on this line is limited. I imagine G5ns user do not have a great advantage since even they will have extra slots (9 instead of only 7 on g3xn) extra ;window" the DSP limit is the same on this batch, which is LIMITED. Maybe they can compress their data on future software upgrades? Probably not.8. Update you list of effects using the software from Zooms Website. Haven used the custom patches though. Maybe I'd try it next week.Gigged it, so far, it is great. Love the EP Boost, The Goldrive (Klon?), The Matchless Amp, Fender Twin and the trippy modulations. I'm back to zoom, my first was a GFX3 but has gone analog after. But now man the tech sure has developed. Do i dare say its is really warm, just try two Gold drives pushing a macthless witha little trem or a vibe..Astig! Post you own tips! Share your knowledge dudes!
mga sir kumusta firmware update ng g3xn? yung looper ba naka global na? or ganun pa din pag nag palit ng patch nag ooff? actually planning to buy this unit later, concern lang ako masyado sa looper. ginagamit ko kasi yun pag live. salamat po.[/quote Looper is still not global. Effect lang talaga siya. Pati Drums effect din.
I just din an AB test with my multi stomp. And the g3xn's amps and drives sound more realistic. I like it more than some of my boss analog pedals. Its blasphemous. I know

Benched Puig accepts full responsibility for tardiness
Outfielder 'truly sorry' for mistake; Kemp gets start in his place
LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig was scratched from the starting lineup for Friday's home opener after arriving late and was replaced by Matt Kemp, who had been activated from the disabled list earlier in the day.
After the Ddodgers' 8-4 loss to the Giants, manager Don Mattingly downplayed Puig's latest transgression, calling it "a mistake" and saying he "didn't think it would be a big deal." Puig, demonstrating uncharacteristic patience with the media, took full blame and said he would show up for Saturday's 1 p.m. game "early."
Puig, who arrived 45 minutes after stretching began and several hours after most of his teammates, said he "didn't know" the time for stretching was moved up because of Opening Day ceremonies. He was asked if he received the text message Mattingly said the club sends as a reminder.
"Whether I received it or not doesn't matter," he said. "This is my fault. I made a mistake. I don't blame anyone."
Puig said Mattingly made the "right decision" taking him out of the starting lineup and he would "make sure I stick with the schedule." He said he was "disappointed" to miss the team's home opener and asked fans to forgive him.
"I'm truly sorry," Puig said.
"It's a mistake, and we move on," said Mattingly. "It can happen very easily. I don't feel it's a huge deal for us. He was humbled. He truly felt bad. His body language, he doesn't hide it very well. He had the right disposition, but that didn't change what we had to do."
Mattingly said he would have used Puig to pinch-hit if the right situation had come up.
Puig said he apologized to Mattingly and the team in the latest of an ongoing series of issues. Only last week, Puig was nearly late for a workout, triggering a meeting called by Mattingly to address the outfielder. Mattingly also had expressed exasperation with Puig while in Australia.
Puig has been high maintenance since the Dodgers signed him for seven years and $42 million out of Cuba. He was benched last year for arriving late to a game, was removed midway through a game for not hustling and has been arrested twice for speeding.
The latest incident benefited Kemp, who was originally annoyed when told he would not be in the starting lineup.
"Matt was upset. Matt wanted to play," Mattingly said.
For the home opener against right-hander Ryan Vogelsong, Mattingly originally was going to go with Carl Crawford, Andre Ethier and Puig from left field to right.
After scratching Puig, Ethier was moved to right and Kemp, batting second, to center.
Mattingly said the original lineup was a "one-day thing" and indicated Kemp would start Saturday against lefty Madison Bumgarner.
"I want to get him back in the mix without throwing him straight into the fire," Mattingly said.
He added that he will juggle the four outfielders by looking for the best matchups with opposing pitchers.
"It's not a perfect scenario by any means for anybody," he said.
But management saw last year that keeping all four outfielders healthy is no easy task. The club also has seen a supposed surplus of starting pitchers get tested two straight Aprils because of injuries.

P.I. Nixon Medical Historical Library
The University Archives are part of the Special Collections of the P.I. Nixon Medical Historical Library, located on the 5th floor of the Briscoe Library at the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio. Access to the University Archives is by appointment only as some materials are in remote locations and must be retrieved.
Statement of Purpose
The purpose of the University Archives is to identify, preserve, and make available for research records that document the origins, development, programs, policies, and collections of the UT Health Science Center as well as the history of medicine in San Antonio and South Texas.
Institutional records: all documentary materials, regardless of physical format, that are created or received by staff members in the course of doing their jobs, including handwritten, typewritten, or computer-generated documents; photographs; clippings from newspapers and magazines; audio-visual materials; architectural records; university publications; etc.
Archival records: those materials that are no longer regularly used by the office that created or received them, but which have lasting administrative or historical value making them worthy of long-term preservation.
Inactive records: those that receive little use in ordinary circumstances and have no long-term value.
Non-record materials: published materials (e.g., books, pamphlets, brochures) not generated by the university and not dealing with the history of the university or medicine in San Antonio and South Texas; surplus copies of university publications and articles about the university; and ephemera.
Personal papers: Some individuals keep in their offices materials relating to their personal activities. These should be kept separate from records that are created in the course of their work for the university. If the papers relate to professional activities, university personnel are encouraged to offer them to the Archives, as personal research and writing can increase understanding of university collections and activities.
Records Policies
All Archive records are property of the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and may not be destroyed or removed from the library except for purposes of digitization or copy for display in exhibits.
Creation and maintenance
Each UT Health Science Center department head is responsible for the creation and maintenance of records that document the activities under their jurisdiction and transfer of inactive records of archival value to the Archives. Archival records are kept in their original order; staff should be diligent about preserving the order and integrity of current files. Departments should contact the Archivist whenever historic records are no longer needed in the office of origin before files are dismantled or transferred elsewhere.
Scope of the Archives Collection
The University Archives contain publications, papers, photographs, and other records that document the history of the university itself. A secondary area of interest includes records documenting the history of medicine in San Antonio and South Texas. Included in the collection are publications of or about the university, correspondence of key officials, printed materials produced by an office or department of the university, minutes of meetings, bound dissertations and theses by graduate students (one copy), student yearbooks, manuscripts and personal papers of prominent San Antonio physicians, records about the history of medicine in San Antonio and South Texas, photographs, oral histories, some artifacts, etc. Records of the university which have historical or archival value but no longer have administrative, fiscal or legal value to their originating offices are transferred to the University Archives. Records are maintained permanently there and become the property of the Archives.
Collection and Retention of Archival Materials
Archival materials will be collected according to the following policies:
- UT Health Science Center Archives
- Publications of or about the university.
- Internal records of offices and departments of the university. The offices of highest priority are those of the President, the deans of the individual schools, the Vice-Presidents, the Office of External Affairs, and South Texas Technology Management.
- Printed materials produced by an office or department of the university (brochures, etc.)
- Bound dissertations or theses by graduate students of the university (one copy)
- Original non-print materials produced by or about the university (selectively).
Personal papers of prominent individuals associated with the Health Science Center or the history of medicine in San Antonio or South Texas.
Archives of other institutions relating to the history of medicine in San Antonio or Texas
Photographs relating to the Health Science Center or to the history of medicine in San Antonio or South Texas will be actively solicited. However, unidentified portraits of individuals will not ordinarily be accepted.
Oral History
Oral history interviews with prominent members of the Health Science Center community, the Bexar County health sciences community, and the South Texas area will be recorded as possible. The personal papers of those individuals will also be solicited.
Artifacts related to the history of the Health Science Center or to the history of medicine will be accepted selectively but not actively solicited.
Duplicate copies of archival materials will not ordinarily be retained. Exceptions are made for published materials likely to have high reference use (student yearbooks, for example).
Acquisition and Transfer of Records
Health Science Center administrative and office personnel are requested to contact the Records Management Officer of the university before disposing of inactive records or sending non-current material to storage if they feel the records contain information of historic value. Records marked on the Health Science Center Records Retention Schedule with an I in the Archival column must automatically be sent to the Archives, not destroyed or sent to the Warehouse. Those marked with an O should be reviewed by the archivist to determine their value to the Archives. Prior to transferring records to the archives a Transfer Request Form must be completed and approved.
When records are transferred to the Archives, contents of each records box must be listed on a transfer list by the office from which the records are being transferred using the Archives Transfer List form. The records should also be listed on the Disposition Log for the office with "Archives" listed as the method of disposition.
The Records Management Officer provides the transfer list to the Archives when records are transferred and maintains a listing of records transferred. The Request for Transfer of Records to University Archives should be completed by the Department Head. Records transferred to the Archives become property of the Archives.
Professional archival standards will be followed in the care and management of the archival collections.
Access to the Archives will be provided to Health Science Center personnel, area health professionals, and visiting scholars. Restrictions may be imposed on sensitive records or series of records, particularly those covered by FERPA or HIPAA regulations, to protect privacy rights.
Archival records may be viewed by appointment only Monday – Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm in the P. I. Nixon Reading Room on the 5th floor of the Briscoe Library. Visitors planning to arrive after 4:30 pm should contact archival staff ahead of time to ensure materials are ready for use as materials will not be retrieved at that time. Users should be prepared to show proper identification (university ID card or a government issued ID). Purses, briefcases, and folders must be placed in designated areas. Only paper, pencils, laptop computers, and digital cameras may be brought into the reading room. Cotton gloves will be provided by archival staff for handling of very rare materials.
The Archives provides a reference service for the Health Science Center community and researchers and a repository for the preservation of historically important university records. Archival staff will photocopy and/or digitize materials for users. There is no charge for UT Health Science Center personnel. Non-UT Health Science Center users will be charged $25.00 per picture digitized. Fees may be charged for digitization of other materials, depending on the purpose and the amount of materials requested.
Approved by Rajia Tobia, Executive Director of Libraries, November, 2008

Cong, BJP in war of words over cash transfer scheme
Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari said the government would provide information to the EC and asked the BJP to make clear its stance on the scheme.
"The BJP should make its position clear on cash transfers. Are they for cash transfers or are they against it. Do they want that the money of the people should go directly into the hands of the people or they do not want the money of the people to go to the people, this is the germane issue," Tewari told reporters here.
"If the Election Commission has asked the government for a clarification or for some sort of an explanation, I am sure that the appropriate part of the government would provide that information to the Election Commission," Tewari said.
BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad hit back by questioning the Congress' seriousness on the issue.
"Is the Congress serious about it? Have they done their homework well?" Prasad asked and said that his party had formed a committee to study the entire matter and would revert on the matter after that.
He, however, said that BJP was not for abolition of the Public Distribution System and also questioned why the pilot project for direct cash transfer scheme in Rajasthan did not succeed.
"But one thing is very clear and categorical. If this means the abolition of Public Distribution System, BJP is opposed to it because states like Madhya Pradesh, states like Chattisgarh….Bihar and others have done so well. By the way let Manish Tewari respond to one thing, the fanfare with which it (cash transfer scheme) was inaugurated in Rajasthan, why it has come a cropper," Prasad asked.

Rays win replay challenge of Rangers' infield single
Chirinos ruled out after umpires review call in second inning
ST. PETERSBURG -- Joe Maddon made his second challenge of the season Saturday night and for the second time in as many nights, the Rays manager came out in the plus column when a call that went against the Rays was overturned.
Robinson Chirinos grounded to shortstop Yunel Escobar to start the Rangers' second and was ruled safe on a bang-bang play at first.
As has been Maddon's custom during this first week of instant replay, he strolled to first-base umpire Mike DiMuro while in the bowels of Tropicana Field, video coordinator Chris Fernandez viewed the call from several angles.
Fernandez relayed his opinion about the call to bench coach Davey Martinez, who then gave Maddon the signal to challenge.
After one minute and 35 seconds passed, the umpires made the ruling that turned an infield single into the first out of the inning.
Friday night, Maddon made a challenge with two outs in the top of the seventh after Wil Myers dove to catch a fly ball hit by J.P. Arencibia. Initially the play was ruled a single, but the replay confirmed that Myers made the catch for the third out of the inning.
"I've been a proponent of replay," Maddon said. "I think it's good. The umpires have done a great job with it. It's working. It seems to be working well.
"There is a situation where I might go out and argue. It would probably take me longer to argue that play than to come to a correct conclusion, so I think it's working well to this point."

The Chicago Bears are desperate to improve an offense that's been perpetually stuck in neutral in recent years. With Lovie Smith out of the picture, logic dictates the Bears will court a more offensive-minded replacement.
With that in mind, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Monday that the Bears are expected to interview Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan for their vacant head coach position, according to a source informed of the process.
The Bears have additional interviews scheduled with Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, according to NFL.com's Albert Breer, and with Atlanta Falcons special teams coordinator Keith Armstrong, according to Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times.
Sullivan won two Super Bowl rings with the New York Giants as the quarterbacks coach before moving to Tampa Bay this season. Under Sullivan's tutelage, both Eli Manning and Josh Freeman made strides at their position. The Bears remain invested in Jay Cutler, but consistency on offense is a major issue for the franchise.
Sullivan represents a potential solution to a nagging problem.

text: OK...it's almost wordless. A little explanation is in order. I was looking for faculty pictures of my great aunt, Marian Brown, at the Greater Hazleton Historical Society when I grabbed this edition of the Hazleton High School Janus. I had wanted to find her earliest faculty picture (I had already found some of her older pictures). I opened the yearbook to the beginning and was preparing to flip to the faculty/staff section when I found myself staring down at a full-page picture of the woman I was looking for. And as it turned out the yearbook had been dedicated to her. I posted her obituary the other week and was impressed by the impact that she had obviously made. This was at the beginning of her time at the school and she was loved enough to have a yearbook dedicated to her. It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Boy, I so wish that I had met her!

Inbox: Rios' future with the Rangers?
Beat reporter T.R. Sullivan answers questions from Rangers fans
Alex Rios seems to be the ideal outfielder. He runs down balls, has an above-average arm, can steal bases and is a decent hitter. So why wouldn't the Rangers want to extend his services after 2014?
-- Richard W., Dallas
Rios, who turns 33 on Feb. 18, proved to be an excellent addition to the Rangers last July, when he was acquired for utility infielder Leury Garcia. He is signed for this year and the Rangers have an option on him for 2015 at $13.5 million, so there is no rush to extend him. At some point, though, the Rangers have to be careful about locking up too many high-priced 30-something players, and they will have to continue to infuse the lineup with good young players. Michael Choice would seem to be next in line, and right field seems to be the right spot.
Is there a free-agent starting pitcher who would be a good fit for the Rangers and can fill in until Derek Holland is healthy?
-- Herb B., Houston
Most of the guys left on the market are 30-something veterans who have had roller-coaster careers. One guy who seems intriguing is right-hander Tommy Hanson, who had a bad year for the Angels last season while dealing with some physical problems and was non-tendered in December. But he is just 27 and was very good for the Braves in 2009-11. Depending on what the latest scouting reports say, that seems to be the kind of pitcher who might be worth signing to an incentive-laden contract.
Everybody is talking about what the Rangers are going to do with Holland on the disabled list. Why does nobody mention Colby Lewis? He seems to be the forgotten man.
-- Adam B., Kansas City
The Rangers will never forget what Lewis did for them during the World Series years, which is why he is coming to camp on a Minor League contract. But he is 34, he is coming off two major surgeries on his right hip and flexor tendon and hasn't pitched in the big leagues since July 18, 2012. The Rangers are getting good reports on Lewis' rehab work, but it's hard to count on a pitcher his age who has been through so much. If the Rangers were sure Lewis was completely over his physical problems, they wouldn't be looking for starting pitching depth. That's a tough assumption to make.
What's the latest on the Rangers' plan for backup corner infielder? It needs to be a right-handed bat. Jeff Baker, Michael Young and Justin Turner are the only plausible free agents left.
-- Trog B., Waco, Texas
The Rangers certainly could use one more right-handed bat, and it does seem curious they have not re-signed Baker, who is still looking for a job. Here is a theory: the Rangers are putting off signing that coveted right-handed bat until Nelson Cruz signs somewhere. They may be holding out for the possibility of Cruz returning to Texas on a one-year contract.
Why does nobody every pay attention to right-handed reliever Lisalverto Bonilla when they talk about prospects? He has very solid numbers in the Minors, and looks like he is better than a lot of prospects getting recognition.
-- Mark T., Bryan, Texas
The Rangers were certainly paying attention when Bonilla had a 0.30 ERA, a 0.824 WHIP and 14.8 strikeouts per nine innings in 21 games at Double-A Frisco last year. They promoted him to Triple-A Round Rock, where he had a 7.95 ERA and a 1.76 WHIP in 26 games. Bonilla still has some impressive career Minor League numbers, including 10.1 strikeouts per nine innings. He and Wilmer Font could end up being the pitchers that bounce back and forth from Triple-A all year, depending on the need at the Major League level.
Do the Rangers have any long-term plans for Rougned Odor, who is supposed to be a great prospect but appears blocked by the infielders at the Major League level? Is he a player who will be used in a July trade?
-- Harry L., Atlantic City, N.J.
Odor could end up being the Rangers' future starting second baseman. The Rangers are going to give Jurickson Profar every chance to win the job this season, and the team has high expectations for him. But Odor is right behind him if Profar isn't as good as the Rangers expect.
It seems as though all plans assume catcher Jorge Alfaro will be with the big league team in three years or less and be an instant starter/contributor. That could be a dangerous assumption; what makes Alfaro different?
-- Greg H., Amarillo, Texas
It is always dangerous to assume any player is a "can't-miss" prospect. About three to four years ago, the Rangers went on a binge as far as investing in young catchers, drafting Kellin Deglan in the first round and signing Alfaro, Tomas Telis and Jose Felix as highly regarded amateur free agents out of Latin America. Alfaro has emerged as the most talented and most successful of that group, so the Rangers have reasonably high hopes for him. But they have drafted a catcher in the top five rounds in each of the last two Drafts, plus they converted first baseman Brett Nicholas back to being a catcher. So they are not assuming anything, which is why they have stockpiled so many middle infielders as well.
Who is the non-roster player invited to Spring Training with the best chance to make some kind of an impact?
-- Sonny S., Mesquite, Texas
Left-handed pitcher Aaron Poreda probably won't have an immediate impact because he is coming off Tommy John surgery. He also hasn't pitched in the Major Leagues since 2009. But Poreda is a former No. 1 pick of the White Sox in 2007 and was once a highly regarded prospect who was a centerpiece in a trade for Jake Peavy. So the Rangers will attempt to recreate the same magic that brought Neal Cotts' career back to life.

What is this technique Yamato uses to appear out of seemingly no where in Shippuden Episode 34? JaZZBaND (talk) 14:45, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
Looks like Mayfly 0_o, the instant appearing and vanishing is body flicker, tho traveling through floor really looks like Mayfly to me--Elveonora (talk) 17:06, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
It seems a bit speculative to say Mayfly. So either we change the hiding rock technique debut date or we need to add like a generic anbu phasing technique.JaZZBaND (talk) 17:38, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
There's no such thing as generic ANBU phasing technique tho, also "hide in rock" is non-canon name (anime only) thus it could even possibly be Mayfly all along. The last time I checked, that floor ain't made of earth or rocks--Elveonora (talk) 17:55, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
What do we do then?JaZZBaND (talk) 21:17, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
We wait for opinions of more people, tho some will call it "speculation" well, I dunno which is more speculative, listing him as a user of what appears to be the aforementioned technique, or rather one that's not even canon thus doesn't exist in Kishi's head. Yamato is the most successful clone of Hashirama. Zetsus are plant clones of that guy and naturally possess that ability, while Yamato's clones were noted to be able to merge and travel through wood I think. So unless that one in the office with Tsunade was a clone, you figure--Elveonora (talk) 22:40, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
Whatever that technique is, it's anime-only, since in the chapter, Yamato is already standing in front of Tsunade when the panel shows him. I don't think he should be listed as a user of Mayfly. It would be least speculative to list him as an anime-only user of Attack Prevention Technique. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:33, March 25, 2013 (UTC)
Oh, I haven't bothered to check the chapter, didn't expect the anime to add such a thing, then yes, perhaps it's the attack prevention technique, but wouldn't that mean a deletion of this article?--Elveonora (talk) 18:03, March 25, 2013 (UTC)
Deletion of what article? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:25, March 25, 2013 (UTC)
Hiding in rock, since that's not even canon and there appears to be no difference between that and this anime-only floor instance. It either stays hiding in rock or we change it to Attack Prevention Technique. If it weren't rock that time, I would even say that this is wood clone's power to merge with trees--Elveonora (talk) 18:52, March 25, 2013 (UTC)
Nope, Hiding in Rock would not be deleted. That technique exists by itself in the anime, explicitly named, used by other anime-only characters, and the thing Yamato's wood clone came out of after planting trackers on Team Samui was a rock wall, not trees. At most, we'd stop listing Yamato as a Hiding in Rock user, and that would be changed to an anime only technique. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:47, March 25, 2013 (UTC)
Then yes, so I suggest we remove Yamato as a user and change the picture to an usage by those filler guys, while we add him to attack prevention or another similar canonical technique--Elveonora (talk) 19:57, March 25, 2013 (UTC)
Probably, but not immediately. I still intend to watch that arc, or at least the episode the image in that jutsu's article comes from, just to make sure that there was no mention or indication of the technique when Yamato supposedly used it. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:17, March 25, 2013 (UTC)
Okay, thank you for your effort and cooperation and a response this late I guess, no idea what time is it in your place atm but in here it's late so good night to you ._.--Elveonora (talk) 23:27, March 25, 2013 (UTC)
Ok, honestly, listening to everything, I believe that Attack Prevention Technique is the best thing to say. It's less speculative than mayfly, plus it's plausible. I mean, Orochimaru and Yamato have had similar training, plus the effects of both techniques are similar in the anime. So yeah, I vote for Att. Prev. Technique. It's our best bet at this point. Mind if I make the corrections?JaZZBaND (talk) 00:25, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
First someone has to check the episode in case that Yamato's usage actually wasn't stated to be this technique, then changes can be made--Elveonora (talk) 14:46, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
I don't think that Yamato used the mayfly technique I believe that it was the hiding in the rock technique --ROOT 根 (talk) 20:24, April 27, 2013 (UTC)
Life and Stamina
Yamato's DNA is completely identical to that of Hashirama's. He has his Wood Release, and etc. That is stuff we already know. But, is it safe to assume he has the stamina and life force that is also granted by Hashirama's DNA and cells? Personally, I would like to add it to his page, if you all don't have any problems with it. JaZZBaND (talk) 03:23, June 9, 2013 (UTC)
- His DNA isn't identical to Hashirama's at all. Orochimaru simply rewrote a part of Yamato's sequence with that of Hash containing his unique traits and abilities. But the majority of genome is still Yamato's.--Elveonora (talk) 13:08, June 9, 2013 (UTC)
I'm not entirely refreshed on it, but isn't it somewhere suggested or stated by Yamato, whether the manga or anime, that he doesn't actually have a lot of chakra/stamina? Hm, or now that I think about it, was just that in relation when compared to Naruto's?--Taynio (talk) 13:56, June 9, 2013 (UTC)
- I remember him tiring out very quickly and even passing out. Just because he has Hashirama's Mokuton genes doesn't mean he got also his energy genes lol--Elveonora (talk) 14:47, June 9, 2013 (UTC)
Well, I understood your point guys. I just thought we could come to agree that it wouldn't necessarily be a plot hole, but an eyebrow-raiser. Only b/c I specifically remember the Third said that Orochimaru captured 60 infant test subjects and injected them with Hashirama's cells. Only one survived - Yamato. Its just odd that the closest thing to Hashirama in the series, does not have the same stamina and life force that everyone else gets from just injecting a very little portion into themselves. All in all, I thought we could mention it somewhere. JaZZBaND (talk) 15:43, June 9, 2013 (UTC)
- They inject themselves with Hashirama's cells, Yamato's DNA got altered with Hash's Mokuton genes, that's a difference. Also databooks lists him as having 3.5 stamina, that's about average--Elveonora (talk) 15:56, June 9, 2013 (UTC)
Yamato's Current Status
This was just brought to my attention. He was partially absorbed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path... which was transformed into the Ten-Tails (and now sealed inside Obito). All, I'm saying is, Yamato's a bit more than "incapacitated" at this point, isn't he? Or is he in the same state as the Tailed Beasts? I suppose we can't draw any conclusions, can we?--ScruffyC – Ash "Scruffy" Chancellor, the man who will become the world's greatest video game designer and change the world y'know! (talk) 01:52, July 23, 2013 (UTC)
- I think he was placed in the flower the statue was sitting on, not the actual statue. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 04:54, July 23, 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, he's still in the flower. He wasn't in the statue. Statue has only been sitting on the living clone tree.--Cerez365™(talk) 06:40, July 23, 2013 (UTC)
- I find it amusing how many people confuse the statue with the lotus flower that supported it. Hardly the first time I see this question being made. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:59, July 23, 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, he's still in the flower. He wasn't in the statue. Statue has only been sitting on the living clone tree.--Cerez365™(talk) 06:40, July 23, 2013 (UTC)
So, apparently people are saying that Kishimoto confirmed that Yamato was dead. Does anyone have an actual source to this? User talk:GohanRULEZSting! TenRyuoh! 22:29, March 6, 2014 (UTC)
- Like Kishimoto ever says something that specific and relevant in an interview before he does so in the actual manga. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:11, March 6, 2014 (UTC)
He is 10 years older than Naruto... Naruto was 15 when Shippuden started... that means his age should say 25-27 not 26-27. ItachiWasAHero (talk) 07:44, September 10, 2013 (UTC)
- Discuss first, edit later. Source to back up his age?--Elveonora (talk) 12:58, September 10, 2013 (UTC)

New pic?
Recently uploaded a new pic of him, I find it better than the current one, what you say? [[1]]--Kasan94 (talk) 17:04, October 1, 2013 (UTC)
- Agreed. KotoSenju (OldUser:JaZZBaND)-Talk-Contributions 17:51, October 1, 2013 (UTC)
It states that Yamato had his DNA overridden with the Firsts DNA and Yamato gained Wood Release with this. Would that make Earth and Water is Chakra Affinity sense his DNA was overridden? Madara and Danzo only applied the DNA to their current, but Yamato had his completely overridden. Just a question, if I'm way off just flat out tell me. :S Zelwolf (talk) 00:53, November 4, 2013 (UTC)Zelwolf
- Kekkei genkai users having multiple affinities was only ever stated in a filler anime scene. The only manga-canon affinities known are Naruto, Kakashi, and the Uchiha clan as a whole. That said, was it ever specifically stated that Yamato's DNA was "overwritten" by Hashirama's, or was that just used to differentiate him from Danzo and Madara's DNA implantation method?--BeyondRed (talk) 01:23, November 4, 2013 (UTC)
"With his own DNA overridden, Yamato gained the ability to use Wood Release." -A direct quote from the Wood Release page on the Naruto Wiki. Zelwolf (talk) 01:53, November 4, 2013 (UTC)Zelwolf
The anime said something along the lines: "people born with two chakra affinities, that is a kekkei genkai (advanced nature related)" and born with 3 affinities = kekkei tota... according to this logic, Mei has 4 affinities, so it doesn't make much sense, I say it's something the anime made up rather than true canon. For the DNA, yes, Yamato's was overridden with Hashirama's. In cases of Danzo, Madara and Obito, they just had Hash cells applied onto their flesh, that's all. All in all, we don't know what's Yamato's affinity. On an unrelated note, what the hell is with his infobox picture, it's creepy--Elveonora (talk) 13:10, November 4, 2013 (UTC)
I don't like the picture either, it's creepy as hell xD Zelwolf (talk) 15:49, November 4, 2013 (UTC)Zelwolf
DB4 made
Him going into root and being given the name Kinoe canon. Him being taken by the third is canon too. ItachiWasAHero (talk) 12:59, February 25, 2015 (UTC)
- We know. All the character specific fillers a while back are canon.--Elve [Mod] Talk Page|Contribs 17:40, February 25, 2015 (UTC)
I thought that's his actual name not just another nickname?--Elve [Mod] Talk Page|Contribs 19:08, April 22, 2016 (UTC)

VANCOUVER – Five charges including child pornography, extortion, criminal harassment and Internet luring have been laid by RCMP against a man in the Netherlands in connection with the Amanda Todd case, an online bullying story that captured the attention of millions across the world.
The 15-year-old British Columbia girl killed herself in October 2012, shortly after detailing in an Internet video her story of unrelenting harassment by an Internet predator.
Amanda's mother, Carol Todd, was at the news conference where police made the announcement about charges.
"This is truly a day that we've been waiting for, to hear that something has come out of Amanda's story. I always knew deep in my heart that what my daughter told was the truth."
The announcement on charges Thursday came just hours after a Dutch television station revealed a 35-year-old man jailed in the Netherlands since January was accused of using webcam footage to blackmail dozens of victims, including Todd, in several countries.
RCMP Insp. Paulette Freill said that B.C.'s Crown counsel laid the criminal charges today, but she wouldn't release the man's name to protect the criminal proceedings in the Netherlands.
Freill said all the charges are related to incidents alleged to have happened between Jan. 1, 2010, and Oct. 10, 2012 — the same day Todd died.
Amanda's father, Norm Todd, said he was relieved by the news.
"I'm just really glad that we finally have a suspect arrested and hopefully we can get some justice out of it."
Police wouldn't say if their work in Canada led Dutch police to their suspect or if it was the other way around.
"Today marks a major milestone everybody in our investigation, a suspect has been identified, he's been arrested and he has been charged," said Freill.
Also on Thursday, the prosecution service in the Netherlands said in a news release that the suspect was arrested three months ago and is suspected of encouraging underage girls in several countries, including the U.S., the U.K. and the Netherlands, to perform sexual acts in front of a web camera.
It's a break in the case that made international headlines and fuelled a debate about bullying and online sexual exploitation after the video surfaced that featured Todd holding up handwritten signs detailing what happened to her.
Mathijs Pennings, a reporter who worked on the story for broadcaster Omroep Brabant, said prosecutors and police believe there could be as many as 40 victims.
"The prosecutors and police think he made footage of the webcam and blackmailed her with the pictures, and he did that with other kids, too, around the world," Pennings told The Canadian Press in an interview from Tilburg, located just west of Oisterwijk, where the man was arrested.
Before Todd's suicide, she uploaded an emotional video in which she said she was lured by an unidentified male to expose her breasts during an online chat. The video said she received a message a year later from a man on Facebook threatening that if she didn't give him a show, he would send the webcam picture to her friends and family.
Todd's story, and others like it, prompted the Canadian government to propose legislation that would make it a criminal offence to distribute intimate images without the consent of the person shown.
Pennings said the man was arrested at a vacation home in Oisterwijk, located about 100 kilometres south of Amsterdam.
The suspect is being held in the Netherlands on charges of indecent assault, the production and dissemination of child pornography, fraud, computer intrusion and the possession of hard drugs, the prosecution news release said.
The B.C. Crown Prosecutors office said that the responsibility for making an application for extradition of an accused from another country is with the federal Department of Justice, which may act after receiving a request from a province.
The branch said in a news release that it has concluded this is an appropriate case to forward such a request to the federal government.
"Given the international aspects of this investigation, including the ongoing case in the Netherlands, it is impossible to predict with any certainty when the accused may appear in a British Columbia court," the statement said.
The man's lawyer, Christian van Dijk, said he doesn't believe prosecutors have sufficient evidence to convict his client. He said even if there is evidence of unlawful activity on the man's computer, it may have been hacked.
"Prosecutors seem to think they have a big fish here, but if I see the evidence, it's not much," he said. "Lots of references to IP addresses and such."
Pennings said the man, who is not married and does not have any children, was born in the Netherlands but also has a Turkish passport.
Authorities in the Netherlands were tipped off by an American Internet provider and seized computers when the man was arrested, said Pennings.
Pennings said Dutch people are familiar with Todd's story.
"It was all around the news here too, so her video was watched by many Dutch people," he said.
"People know the story of Amanda Todd."

Topic: Jodo vs Boushh
who would win? Jodo had a tough time with Aurra last round, while Boushh almost cruised thro!
Message Boards - Boba Fett Fan Club → Role Playing → Jodo vs Boushh
who would win? Jodo had a tough time with Aurra last round, while Boushh almost cruised thro!
I think Jodo Kast would win.
Jodo Kast...the poser who tries to impersonate Fett? Heh, not a chance in hell. Boussh'll show him the difference between Fett and his own pathetic self.
Only two for Boussh? How can you people even think that Jodo stands a chance? He's nothing but a Fett impersonator with not nearly half the skill of the true Mandalorian hunter.
Actually, though I hate to admit it, Kast WAS a good hunter, but I vote for Boushh.
Jodo. He's a terrible hunter, but Boushh was pretty bad too. I mean, all we know about him is that he's dead. That's not much of a record.
Exactly. Maybe if we had seen what he's capable of in combat...but based on his diminutive stature and that Jodo is at least a mediocre imitation of Fett, I would assume the later would be the victor, based on what we know of the two characters.
I think of it this way: Kast had the balls to actually go through with the impersonation, and he actually survived longer than I thought he would doing just that....so, needless to say, my vote would be or Jodo, considering Boussh was introduced to us as a corpse.
You Jodo supporters make me sick. Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelled of elderberries. I blow my nose at you you silly English-types. Now go away, or I will taunt you a second time.
*sniff* I feel threatened.
/changes vote to Boussh.
*Napolean Dynamite voice* Yessss.
I still say Jodo. It's proof that Jodo's better anyway if the Jodo followers refuse to stoop to the level of taunting and insulting to gain followers.
SciFifreak90, stop the personal attacks or you're out.
Wow, you definitely don't over-react to a bloody QUOTE.
Seriously, no one got that? Don't tell me that no one here has seen 'Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail'. That whole 'taunting' was from the French guy on the castle.
Thinking's not my job. I hurt the people that the people who think want hurt.
"You Jodo supporters make me sick" is not a John Cleese quote. So, what's "I hurt the people that the people who think want hurt" from, to make it any less serious?
Personal taunts, including the one you just private messaged me, is not allowed here; open discussion and constructive criticism is. Being polemic without even addressing the subject, but making things personal, isn't going to help the quality of any discussion with you. Since you like this board so much, maybe you can be a positive role model on how you expect anyone else to be.
Positive rolemodel? I've never thought of myself like that before...probably for good reasons. Someone who memorizes firearm statistics in his spare time isn't generally a person to look up to.
As for the personal taunts, I cry your pardon gunslinger. As difficult as it may be to believe, they weren't meant to be taken with the degree of seriousness that they apparently were.
*extends right leg, and bows head with his wrist to his forehead* I cry your collective pardons sais.

ELS/St. Petersburg and Eckerd College Celebrate 40 Years of Partnership
10 11, 2016 4:00 午前
On October 6, 2016, ELS/St. Petersburg and Eckerd College held a celebration to commemorate 40 years of partnership.
The celebration included an Open House where visitors were able to meet students, staff and instructors, tour ELS classrooms, and sit in on, as well as participate, in a class.
The second part of the celebration included a reception with special guests Mr. Kelly Kirschner, Dean of Executive and Continuing Education; Ms. Meg Duvall, ELS Instructional Specialist; and Dr. Morris Shapero, Eckerd College, International Business.
Duvall, who is a graduate of Eckerd College, began her career with ELS as a volunteer student tutor and Conversation Partner. Duvall has been with ELS for 39 years and spoke about the Center's history during the reception.
Special Awards and Recognitions were given to: Ms. Lilja Davis, Eckerd Assistant Director Conferences and Summer School; Ms. Regina Pheil, Eckerd Operations Manager Executive & Continuing Education; Ms. Meg Duvall, ELS Instructional Specialist; Ms. Helen Freiday, ELS Eckerd Homestay Coordinator; Ms. Andrea Domonkos, ELS District Director; and Ms. Karen Grubbs, ELS Center Director.
Ms. Alexandra Zilovic, ELS Executive Vice President, Global Operations & Business Affairs, also spoke at the event.
ELS/St. Petersburg and Eckerd College work together to provide students with shared activities including the Conversation Partner program and the ELS Eckerd College Certificate Program. Students who participate in the Certificate Program attend an Eckerd College International Business or International Relations and Global Affairs course during their ELS session. At their session graduation, students are given certificate from Eckerd College and ELS signed by the Eckerd professor and Ms. Grubbs.
In the past 20 years, the Center has welcomed over 30,000 students, with 20+ nationalities represented in each four-week session. The Center also hosts the Summer Fun & Sun Youth Camp and January Youth Homestay Program, both for students ages 10 to 16.
Domonkos said, "ELS has enjoyed partnership with Eckerd College for over 40 years now, and we look forward to many more years of collaboration. Since 1976, thousands of students have gone through the ELS program and thousands more participated in Summer and January Youth Programs."
Dr. Donald Eastman, President of Eckerd College, stated, "We are delighted to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of ELS at Eckerd College. This program has enriched the lives of our students, faculty and staff and we are grateful for its partnership." Eastman gave the closing remarks at the celebration.

After engineers and computers spent millions of hours analyzing the design, the new Jaguar F-type is finally ready for unveiling at the Paris Motor Show next month. Clad in sexy aluminum skin, the convertible model takes to the automotive runway on Sept. 27.
Other than vague, almost philosophical raving about how much intricately detailed work went into crafting such a delectable, exquisite, ground-breaking vehicle (no really, the press release reads like it was written after a brainstorming session amongst scientists and PR folks on ecstasy), Jaguar has been scant on the details. We're led to believe that the design process may have included some kind of sorcery.
When you are working on a Jaguar sports car the expectations of the world are huge. We're really pleased how the attributes have translated from the virtual simulation work we've done into the physical world
What we do know is that it will be available with three engines — 250 hp and 280 hp supercharged 3.0-liter V6s and a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 of indeterminate power output.
We have a feeling that the final product of whatever magical/scientific process was involved in designing the F-type produced a pretty amazing car. But we'll have to wait a bit to find out for sure.
