About helpfuljones
The TSA comedians demonstrate their theatrics, sluggishness & apathy every week I fly. They do this with an eerie consistency at every airport where I have been "screened".
A simple law that would hold-harmless any passenger who comes to the aid of any flight-crew member would quite likely better protect flights than the entire TSA bureacracy. I can not imagine a situation where some gomer tries something on a flight post 9/11 and not a single passenger would be willing to intervene.
You mean "Ted Koppell"? Hell, I thought this was a story about "journalists".
I think journalism went extinct in the 50's/60's. Definitely by the time Watergate became common knowledge.
Regardless of whether you think the main-stream media (print, broadcast or otherwise) is biased left or right, I think most people agree it is biased nonetheless. I also think most people would agree that the mind-set that seeds and promotes the bias (knowingly or otherwise) can be attributed in whole or part to the "journalism" schools where these reporters build the foundation of their skill-set. I would give the professors the benefit of the doubt and allow that they don't even realize the bias they infuse into their more gullible students. Perhaps the professors truly believe everyone sees the world from their point of view.
Judging by the ratings, Faux-News is *killing* all of it's competitors by hyoooooge margins. As the lone conservative-leaning news outlet in cable broadcast news, I can't explain it. ABC/CBS/NBC/MSNBC/CNN/HN,etc. -- all the rest are left-leaning (compared to Faux), and I find it hard to believe that viewers who lean left could stomach Faux for long. I don't know what that says about the political make-up of the country, but there it is. All of them are more opinion than news, so you can't really compare them to "journalists".
It doesn't matter, we're still doomed!
But that's just me -- a grammatically challenged, non-journalist spouting off yet another opinion piece...

From what I've seen on this board, there are many who believe that their only shot at major success in law will come from getting into a school whose name alone will get them a good job. That's a pretty unfortunate and uninspired way to see things (not to mention untrue). Fortunately there are many others who believe that the key to their success will be their hard work, enthusiasm, and the unique talents that most high-tier admissions committees might pass on.
I'm so glad to hear someone say that. I've only been on this board for about a day, but I've been a little disappointed by some of the attitudes that I've found here. Most of the people here have come across as very down to earth, but there are a few posts that I have come across where someone has referred to things such as what they consider to be a "crappy" LSAT scores, which one person put in the "160ish" range. I suppose I got a crappy LSAT score then, because I only got a 163, but I've got news for you. That puts me in the 90th percentile and ANYONE would be damn lucky to be there. I didn't want to turn this into a rant, but to anyone who reads this that thinks that a score in the 160s isnt good, I beg of you to keep that thought to yourselves. It really only insults the people who get those "crappy" scores and makes the people making those comments seem like arrogant, pompous, intellectual snobs.
Javert: Yay for Santa Clara! I applied there, too (as a target). Did you apply EA?
Have you heard anything about anyone getting decisions yet?
They were the first place I applied, so I'm waiting quite impatiently to get some sort of response.
(Congrats on GULC, by the way
Laur: i'm glad to hear that someone agrees with me and realizes that even though we might not all have identical scores, we're all in the same boat and we all have the same goals. it doesn't matter who gives you your degree as long as you're happy and you do exactly what you want with it.

Last week, I had the pleasure of talking to the Winter Park Women's Club about my travels for this column.
A lovely bunch of ladies, my audience reminded me how much the prospect of a good meal plays into my travel decisions. Maybe it's because I started by bragging about my terrific lunch at Dixie Crossroads on a recent Titusville jaunt. And then offered a hearty recommendation for the monster seaside burgers at The Breakers in New Smyrna Beach, and somehow slipped in another plug for JC's Lobster Pot in DeLand.
Come to think of it, the offer of sandwiches was a prime motivation in my attendance at the luncheon. Must be true what they say about the way to a man's heart.
All the talk about food turned my attention to the Florida Strawberry Festival, one of Central Florida's grand traditions that marks its 75th annual edition with festivities that run March 4-14 at the festival grounds (303 N. Lemon St.) in Plant City.
Over time the event has grown to become one of the biggest of its kind in the nation. In keeping with its name, the main focus is on the bounty harvested from more than 5,000 acres of strawberries planted annually in the Plant City area, between Tampa and Orlando along Interstate 4.
According to the festival Web site, there are some 2,600 farms in Hillsborough County that produce fruit and vegetable crops with an annual value of more than $400 million. So that's a lot to celebrate.
The big attraction at this festival, of course, is the famous strawberry shortcake, but there's an array of other fair-friendly (and waistline unfriendly) food, as well as livestock and craft exhibits, and daily free entertainment that ranges from bluegrass to puppet shows to big-band to lumberjack shows to those racing pigs.
If that sounds old-fashioned, the Mayberry vibe is updated by the ticketed entertainment lineup, which last year featured both Jessica Simpson and the red-hot Grammy-winner Taylor Swift. This year's headliners include Darius Rucker (March 7), Sara Evans (March 14) and Lynyrd Skynyrd (also March 14).
For details on hours, tickets and other festival updates, visit flstrawberryfestival.com or call 813-752-9194.
And don't forget to come hungry.

Clinical Study Design
Now a carefully controlled clinical trial has shown that homeopathy does significantly improve attention. This study was published in the July 27, 2005 online edition of the European Journal of Pediatrics. The study, conducted in Switzerland, followed 62 children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). All children were carefully diagnosed with a number of screening instruments to verify the diagnosis of ADHD, excluding other diagnoses. The study involved three phases. First the children were treated with a constitutional homeopathic medicine individualized to their case. Only the children who improved by at least 50 percent on an ADHD rating scale were included in the second phase of the study, a crossover trial with a placebo group. Following that crossover phase, the children were then treated again with their homeopathic medicine in an open label phase.
The primary device for measuring improvement was the Conners Global Index (CGI), a 10-item rating scale containing the most important ADHD symptoms (temper outbursts, excitability, impulsivity, overactivity, crying often, inattentive, fidgeting, disturbing other children, easily frustrated, failure to finish things, quickly changing moods). Rating: 0= never, 1= occasionally, 2= often, 3= very often. Therefore the higher the score the more prominent and severe the symptoms. Other assessment instruments included standardized achievement and intelligence tests.
The medicines used included Calc-carb (15), Sulphur (8), Chamomilla (5), Lycopodium (5), Silica (5), Hepar-sulph (4), Nux-vom (4), China (3), Ignatia (3), and Mercurius (3). Each of the following were used in one case only: Capsicum, Causticum, Hyoscyamus, Phosphorus, Phosphoric-acid, Sepia, and Staphysagria. Each was used on a daily bases in the Q3 to Q42 potency (LM). No other treatment of any kind was permitted during the course of the study.
The progress under homeopathic treatment was assessed with the parents only at intervals of 4 weeks. After an unlimited period of observation, children eligible for the crossover phase of the trial were randomly assigned to either receive the appropriate homeopathic medicine or a placebo in a blinded trial. During the second period of the crossover phase, the groups were switched. Following the crossover phase, the children were then treated with their homeopathic medicine in an open label phase of the trial.
Study Results
Results showed that children did not improve while taking placebo, but continued to improve while taking the homeopathic medicine during the blinded phase of the trial and in the post-crossover phase. The median Conners rating for ADHD symptoms dropped from 19 at the start of treatment to a median of 8 within 6 weeks after the crossover phase of the trial. During the blinded trial the children receiving placebo had a high CGI rating of 12 compared to the homeopathic group with a rating of 9. After all children were returned to their homeopathic medicine, both groups returned to the low symptom level they had achieved before the crossover phase (median of 8).
The authors formed a definitive conclusion from this study. "The results of this trial point to the effectiveness of homeopathy in the treatment of ADHD."

Stout defense leads Whippets past Vikings
By NATE HECKENBERGER
WEST GOSHEN -- If it seemed like a ho-hum win Friday night, it's probably because it was just business as usual for Downingtown West.
With a 28-9 win over West Chester East at Harold I. Zimmerman Stadium, the Whippets have now gone, in a seven-season stretch from 2006 to the present, 30-5 in the first halves of those seasons, a Chester County high.
The win moves West to 4-1 overall, 1-0 in the Ches-Mont National, meaning the Whippets have had four or more wins in the first half of the season in six of the past seven years. But first-half wins don't mean as much if the second half total doesn't equal playoffs, and West is hoping to flip the script from last fall when it started 5-0 and finished 7-3.
For now, a victory with a banged-up offense and a stout defense against a pesky East team sets the Whippets on their desired track.
"Our goal is to put ourselves in position to win the Ches-Mont," West coach Mike Milano said. "East was (Friday night), and I know that's cliche. We didn't play our best, and we're still wounded and shorthanded. We have a lot of young kids … and it just wasn't smooth. It was not very smooth or polished, but you have to give (East) credit. They played physical and they were excited to see us."
Things could not have started worse for the Vikings (0-2, 1-4). After East received the opening kickoff, freshman quarterback Jon Jon Roberts was picked off by Evan Wolf on a roll-out pass to the left. East forced a 47-yard field goal try by Nick Caruso, which sailed wide left.
On the very next play from the 20-yard line, Roberts was stripped on an inside run, and linebacker Lucas McMahon scooped it up and ran it in to give West a 7-0 lead.
"The defense has been great all year," Milano said. "They've been averaging seven points against per game, and it stayed that way (Friday night). And it ended up a wash with us scoring one. We're, for the most part, able to platoon, and that helps us later in the games to stand up when teams try to make a run. Evan Wolf is a first-year guy playing safety for us, and Ian Nanni and Danny Speca are tough inside. And we have a tiny little 10th grader, Lucas McMahon, at linebacker who's doing a real nice job."
Roberts was able to rebound, however, showing some of the potential that won him the starting job. Following his two turnovers on the first two plays, Roberts ran for 45 yards in the first half and threw for 103 yards and his first career touchdown. The TD was a perfect strike to Rob Ritrovato from 28 yards out on a fourth-and-14.
"You take away those first two, he played really well after that," East coach Dan Ellis said of Roberts. "That was a big-time throw for the touchdown on fourth-and-14. Yes, he's still young and still 14, but he's getting better."
West, who was without top back Tino Bunhu for the third straight week, lost Mitchell Meleski after one carry in the first quarter and had to rely on a trio of juniors to move the ball on the ground.
Jonathan Reyes found the end zone twice on the night and led all runners with 65 yards, quarterback Nick Pagel scored on a backbreaking 19-yard run with 16 seconds left in the half, and Elijah Tinson made up for slipping in the end zone for a safety with some tough second-half running.
East, which has not had a defense to write home about in a long time, really had a beat on West's playcalling and held the Whippets in check most of the night.
"We played a lot better," Ellis said. "I told the kids, we didn't win the game, but we played pretty good defense. We had four turnovers, and a lot of that was silly stuff. Part of that is having a freshman quarterback, but we gotta toughen up and be smarter with the ball. I was very happy with the defense, though."
West's defense had a lot to do with the Vikings' misfortunes, offensively. Teddy Varano added a fourth-quarter interception, Nanni recovered a fumble, and Speca, who was unblockable at nose tackle, recorded a sack.
With the biggest hurdles in the schedule yet to come, Speca knows his team must elevate its execution.
"Practice has got to be better," Speca said. "Everyone knows you play the way you practice and wins come from practice. It doesn't count for style points, so a win in the Ches-Mont is a win."
As good as West has been in the first half of seasons, its biggest nemesis has been West Chester Henderson, who's next on the schedule. The Whippets and Warriors have split the series in the last six contests.
"Our games against Henderson have always been classic," Milano said. "There's been years where they were favored and we upset them, and other years where we're favored and they upset us. There's been years where both teams are good and there's been wars. I expect no different this year."

The results are in, and the verdict speaks for itself: SCARPA's new Freedom SL and Freedom series freeride ski boots earned eight awards this season from Powder, Ski, Skiing, Freeskier and Backcountry Magazines.
The unique feature of the Freedom series boots is how well they balance downhill performance with the ability to walk and tour like a backcountry boot. The Freedoms aren't the first to go after this market. But, several editors said, they're the best yet in that category of boots.

Fernando Martinez (shown here), Jenrry Mejia, Ike Davis, Ruben Tejada and Jon Niese. That is the future core of the Mets, along with David Wright, Jose Reyes and Jason Bay. That's your team over the next few years.
But, should the future be now?
All spring I've been saying these guys aren't ready and should open the season in the minor leagues where they'll fine tune their games. That they for the most part have played well this spring makes me wonder if I should reconsider.
There have been players who played a minimum in the minor leagues and became stars in the major leagues. Maybe, if these guys are as special as the Mets are saying, they'll adapt right away and become productive.
Afterall, it's not written in stone anywhere that if they start out in the majors they'll fizzle out. It's also not written anywhere that going to the minor leagues now guarantees future success.
I just look at the team now, and despite all the bluster early, they are playing near a listless .500.
Why is that?
Ok, it's spring, and results aren't supposed to matter, but the following ERAs make me wonder about this year, and that if it's a lost year, why not give the kids a chance?
* Johan Santana has a 9.00 ERA in three starts, but I'm not worried so much about him. However, he is coming off a surgery, and you just can't throw out 20 wins for him.
* Mike Pelfrey has a 7.36 ERA in four starts, including four homers yesterday. Pelfrey said he wanted to start being a pitcher. Now is as good a time as any to start.
* Oliver Perez has a 5.73 ERA in three starts. He's had good and bad moments, which is the way it always has been for him. The only thing given about him is the roller coaster.
* John Maine has an 11.37 ERA in three starts. He had a good first start, but three bad appearances (don't forget that relief effort when he said he wasn't in it). I just wonder about Maine, and it isn't a good wonder.
So, if the starting pitching holds true to form from last year and this spring, and with Reyes and Beltran out for at least the first month, the Mets aren't exactly poised to sprint out of the gate.
If another listless season is in the making, then seeing the young players should come sooner than later.

A 5-year-old student at Hyannis West Elementary School is facing possible suspension from after-school day care for building a toy gun out of Legos.
HYANNIS — A 5-year-old student at Hyannis West Elementary School is facing possible suspension from after-school day care for building a toy gun out of Legos.
When Sheila Cruz picked up her son Joseph from the day care program Thursday, a staff member told her he was reprimanded for playing with the gun made from the popular, plastic building blocks, Cruz said Tuesday.
"They said it's a threat to the other children," Cruz said during an interview at her home, a short distance from the school.
The next day, Cruz was handed a letter in a sealed envelope when she picked up Joseph from day care, she said.
Joseph was using day care toys inappropriately, the school's day care provider, Mary Beth Curran, wrote in the letter.
"Good and safe behavior is expected at all times," Curran wrote in the short note. "Please be reminded that a second written warning will result in two weeks out of day care."
Cruz and the family's attorney, George MacKoul, said the content of the letter was vague and the implication that children would be punished for using their imagination troubling.
"Where do you draw the line?" MacKoul said.
Although her son had been in trouble a few weeks earlier for pointing his finger as if it were a gun, Cruz said she hadn't heard any other complaints about his behavior.
Joseph, who pointed the Lego gun at other students and made shooting sounds, received several verbal reminders that he must be safe and respectful before he was formally reprimanded, Barnstable schools Superintendent Mary Czajkowski said Tuesday.
"At least five verbal reminders of proper, respectful and safe behavior were given," she said.
Other students became uncomfortable and moved away from Joseph because of his behavior, she said.
School officials reacted appropriately in issuing the reprimand, Czajkowski said.
Each situation is addressed on a case-by-case basis but with the heightened state of awareness because of the tragic December shooting of 26 students and educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., things have changed, Czajkowski said.
"You need to educate students, and you need to educate parents," she said.
On Monday, Czajkowski attended a meeting of Massachusetts superintendents and other officials in Marlboro examining these very issues, she said.
Educators are looking more closely at what students write about violence, suicide or weapons, she said.
Parents likely would be concerned if a child came home and told them that another student pointed a toy gun at them during school, Czajkowski said.
"I would bet in most cases, a parent is going to raise issues with that," she said.
Joseph's situation was handled like other instances of disruptive behavior, she said.
The online student/parent handbook for Hyannis West outlines expectations for student behavior that include being respectful, responsible and safe. Consequences for inappropriate behavior include verbal reminders, school suspension and expulsion, according to the online handbook.
"Part of this is sending a message that we take this seriously, and whether it's guns, whether it's violence, whether it's being disrespectful, every child has a right to come to school in a safe learning environment," Czajkowski said. "We have to provide that."
Cruz said she has seen other things at the school that concern her more than her son's behavior, including a woman who was buzzed into the building while wearing a skeleton outfit and a mask covering her face.
Joseph knows what happened in Connecticut, Cruz said, adding that she wants him to be aware of potential dangers so that he can protect himself if necessary.
Educators are focused on the behavior rather than on the child as they should be, Mac-Koul said.
"You're going to punish this kid because he did something imaginative and playful?"

With City looking set to lodge a bid for Arsenal's Robin van Persie, it would appear manager Roberto Mancini has too many forwards at his disposal. And, following Zlatan Ibrahimovic's big-money move to Paris St Germain, AC Milan are in the hunt for a new striker.
The link, which has also been made to Manchester United forward Dimitar Berbatov, is an obvious one. And an agent claiming to be acting on behalf of Dzeko has stated that a deal to join Milan had a "70 per cent" chance of going through. But this is news to City, who have never heard of Sead Susic and have not asked anyone to negotiate Dzeko's transfer on their behalf.
"The club have no knowledge of the so-called spokesman Mr Susic, nor has it given a mandate to any third party to discuss the transfer of Edin Dzeko, who remains a Manchester City player," said a City spokesman.
Dzeko is presently with City on their short tour of Austria and featured in Tuesday night's goalless draw with Dynamo Dresden.
Speculation about the 26-year-old's future has been rife for some time.
Signed from Wolfsburg for £27million 18 months ago, the giant Bosnian has never quite managed to hit the heights expected.
Nevertheless, he did score 19 goals in all competitions for City last term, including 14 in the Premier League, the last of which was the crucial stoppage-time equaliser in that dramatic final-day encounter with QPR that paved the way for Sergio Aguero's title-sealing winner.

In late 18th-century Scotland, a kettle of fish was a large saucepan of fish, typically freshly caught salmon, cooked at Scottish picnics and the term was also applied to the picnic itself. By the mid 18th century, the novelist Henry Fielding was using the phrase to mean a muddle.
there are plenty more fish in the sea
used to console someone whose romantic relationship has ended by pointing out that there are many other people with whom they may have a successful relationship in the future.
This expression alludes to the proverb there are as good fish in the sea as ever came out of it .

Retrograde ejaculation occurs when semen enters the bladder instead of going out through the urethra during ejaculation.
Alternative Names
Ejaculation retrograde
Retrograde ejaculationis uncommon. The main reason it occurs is that the bladder neck does not close. This causes semen to go backwards into the bladder rather than forward out of the penis.
Retrograde ejaculation may also be caused by:
- Some medications, including drugs used to treat high blood pressure (
hypertension) and some mood-altering drugs
- Medications or surgeryto treat prostate or urethra problems
- Cloudy urine after orgasms
- Little or no semen is released during ejaculation
Exams and Tests
Your health care provider may recommend that you stop taking any medicines that may cause retrograde ejaculation. This can make the problem go away.
Retrograde ejaculation that is caused by diabetes or surgery may be treated with medications such as pseudoephedrine or imipramine.
Outlook (Prognosis)
If retrograde ejaculation is caused by medications, stopping the drug will often bring back normal ejaculation. If retrograde ejaculation is caused by surgery or diabetes, it is often not correctable.
Possible Complications
The condition may cause
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you are having trouble conceiving a child or you are worried about retrograde ejaculation.
Maintaining good blood sugar control may help prevent this condition in men who have diabetes. Avoiding drugs that cause retrograde ejaculation will also prevent this condition.

From day one, the Warwick Vets boys' volleyball team has looked like it's capable of having more success than it had last year, when it won just a single match. But it's been a battle to get the Hurricanes themselves to believe that.
Midway through the season, though, it's starting to take hold.
The 'Canes swept Toll Gate last Wednesday night for their second victory in their last three matches.
"Tonight, I just told them 'You're confident. You feel that you can beat this team. That's how you have to play, no matter what happens,'" said Vets head coach Brendan Friel. "It's a confidence thing with these guys so I'm hoping winning two out of three is going to give us the momentum to go into the second half of the season."
The 'Canes improved to 2-7 with the victory before a 3-1 loss to St. Raphael on Friday dropped them to 2-8. Toll Gate remains winless.
Vets picked up its first victory of the season on April 23, when it swept Westerly.
It was a big moment.
"They were happy," Friel said. "I really felt that was a load off their back. They were tight games and we made some mistakes again, but we were able to come out with a win."
After losing to East Greenwich 3-0 two nights later, the 'Canes had a week to prepare for Toll Gate. They focused on the basics.
"You've just got to put it in play, pick your spots and get three touches on our side," Friel said.
And they took care of business, winning 25-10, 25-10 and 25-8.
"Two out of three," Friel said. "We're getting there."
Toll Gate stayed close for the early part of game one, winning four out of five points to cut a five-point lead down to two.
But then Vets found its groove – and never really lost it.
Kills by Murilo Bellacosa and Andrew Sjodahl powered a run of eight straight for the 'Canes. After a Jose Javier kill stopped the bleeding, the 'Canes surged again, getting kills from Slawomir Hermanowski and Christiano Ourique on their way to winning seven of the next eight points. A Hermanowski serve that wasn't returned clinched the game one victory.
In game two, the 'Canes cruised again, riding kills from Ourique and Will Remak to an early 10-4 lead. The Titans never got closer than six and fell way behind when the 'Canes won six in a row in the late going. Remak had a tip to an open spot to get Vets to game point, and Bellacosa finished it with a kill.
Throughout game two, the 'Canes showed off their steadily improving attack. Thirteen of the 25 points came by way of a kill, with Remak notching four, Bellacosa getting three, and Hermanowski, Pepe Phanhsena and Ourique getting two each.
"This year, I have five guys and a couple of guys off the bench who, when they're in the front row, they're capable of being very aggressive at the net," Friel said. "It's almost the opposite of last year. We weren't that strong on offense, so we focused on defense. Now, what I'm trying to focus these guys on doing is putting themselves in good position where we can get a good pass and get a good set because our strongest point is at the net."
The 'Canes continued to play well in game three. Bellacosa had an ace while Hermanowski and Phanhsena had kills as Vets jumped out to a 6-1 lead. Hermanowski then stepped up to the serving line and powered a run of seven straight. Later, Remak landed three kills in a five-point span to make it 21-5. A block by Bellacosa sealed the sweep.
"We're playing pretty well," Friel said. "We're improving. If we're able to get rid of some of the mistakes in the back row, I think we can really get it going even more. My setter (John Moore) has been phenomenal, so if we can get a good pass, we're going to get a good set."
Now the 'Canes will try to keep improving.
"Our passing has started to improve but it has to keep getting better," Moore said. "That's the biggest thing for us. Good passes lead to good sets and then we can get our offense going."
For Toll Gate, Wednesday's match was another challenging one. The Titans are breaking in a number of newcomers who have never played volleyball before. Javier was a bright spot Wednesday, as was Matt Davis, who stepped in to play setter.
The Titans will keep looking for their first win this week with games against Lincoln, St. Raphael and Shea.
The 'Canes were scheduled to play Tolman on Monday, with results unavailable at press time. They'll visit Lincoln Wednesday before hosting North Smithfield on Friday at 6 p.m.
"We've lost a couple of close ones at the beginning of the year," Friel said. "Now that we're getting a little more confidence and we're getting our basic skills down, I'm hoping we're going to be able to come out on top in some of those close games."

In the Matter of
Van E. Brighton,
|ORDER INSTITUTING ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS PURSUANT TO SECTION 15(b) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 MAKING FINDINGS, AND IMPOSING REMEDIAL SANCTIONS
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") deems it appropriate and in the public interest that public administrative proceedings be, and hereby are, instituted pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") against Van E. Brighton ("Respondent" or "Brighton").
In anticipation of the institution of these proceedings, Respondent has submitted an Offer of Settlement (the "Offer"), which the Commission has determined to accept. Solely for the purpose of these proceedings and any other proceedings brought by or on behalf of the Commission, or to which the Commission is a party, and without admitting or denying the findings herein, except as to the Commission's jurisdiction over him and the subject matter of these proceedings, and the findings contained in Section III.2, below, which are admitted, Respondent consents to the entry of this Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions ("Order"), as set forth below.
On the basis of this Order and Respondent's Offer, the Commission finds that:
1. Between February 2003 and January 2004, Brighton, age 55, acted as a sales agent for Kings Real Estate Investment Trust ("Kings REIT"). In that capacity, on behalf of Kings REIT, he sold securities, in the form of units of beneficial interest. In so doing, he participated at key points in the distribution of those securities and received compensation, in the approximate amount of $29,370, related to the transactions. At the time he made these sales, Brighton was not registered with the Commission as a broker, or associated with a registered broker-dealer.
2. On January 23, 2004, the Commission filed a complaint against Brighton and the other defendants and relief defendants in SEC v. Kings Real Estate Investment Trust, et al. (Civil Action No. 5:04-04006-RDR-KGS), in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas. On August 6, 2004, a final judgment was entered by consent against Brighton, permanently enjoining him from future violations of Sections 5(a), 5(c), and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act") and Sections 10(b) and 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.
3. The Commission's complaint alleged, among other things, that the named defendants, between February 2003 and January 2004, raised approximately $2.9 million in Kansas and other states through sales of securities, in the form of units of beneficial interest. The Commission further alleges that in selling these securities, Brighton and the other defendants made materially false and misleading statements and omissions regarding the use of investor proceeds, and the potential return on, and liquidity and risk of Kings REIT securities.
In view of the foregoing, the Commission deems it appropriate and in the public interest to impose the sanctions specified in Respondent Brighton's Offer.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED:
Pursuant to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act that Respondent Brighton is barred from association with any broker or dealer.
Any reapplication for association by the Respondent will be subject to the applicable laws and regulations governing the reentry process, and reentry may be conditioned upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the satisfaction of any or all of the following: (a) any disgorgement ordered against the Respondent, whether or not the Commission has fully or partially waived payment of such disgorgement; (b) any arbitration award related to the conduct that served as the basis for the Commission order; (c) any self-regulatory organization arbitration award to a customer, whether or not related to the conduct that served as the basis for the Commission order; and (d) any restitution order by a self-regulatory organization, whether or not related to the conduct that served as the basis for the Commission order.
By the Commission.

Sticker Shock
Birth control prices are skyrocketing—
and that's just one way the current federal
administration is making it harder for
women to obtain contraception
By Allison Stevens
When Emory University incoming
senior Nora Kleinman discovered
last winter that the cost of
NuvaRing, her preferred method
of birth control, had nearly doubled
at her campus health center—
going from $27 to $44 a month—she was forced to make
a quick decision: find a way to come up with an extra $204
a year or switch to her parents' insurance plan, and thus
give up the privacy she had enjoyed at the student health
clinic. "Everybody's fairly irritated about it," says
Kleinman. "Myself and so many other women I know
were depending on health services at universities for
cheap and affordable contraception."
Millions of women who purchase contraceptives at student
and community health clinics across the country
have seen prices go from about $10 a month to anywhere
between $30 and $50. Such out-of-reach prices are putting
intense financial stress on women who can't afford to
pay retail for birth control. And the pressure goes beyond
the individual level: Some family planning clinics serving
low-income women may be forced to shut down if prices
aren't soon reduced, leaving poor women with even fewer
resources to determine the number and spacing of their
Among college undergraduate women, some 3 million
of them (39 percent) use oral contraceptives, while others
use NuvaRing, the contraceptive patch and other forms of
birth control, according to the American College Health
Association. Those who cannot find a way to come up
with more cash are being forced to switch to an alternative
make or method of birth control, says Mary Hoban, a director
of the association's National College Assessment
Program. Some university health centers and clinics have
now even stopped carrying devices such as NuvaRing—a
popular method which delivers contraceptive hormones
through a vaginal insert—because of their increased price.
For many women, changing birth control methods or
makes is not easy. NuvaRing and the patch have no generic
alternatives, and women are often reluctant to switch
brands of oral contraceptives after finding a good fit without
undesirable side effects.
The soaring costs are the result of an obscure provision in
the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 that stripped away a long standing incentive encouraging drug
companies to provide steeply discounted
birth control to certain low-cost
health-care providers. The law took effect
in January, forcing many health
clinics across the country to ratchet up
their prices. Some temporarily defrayed
costs by stockpiling drugs before
the law took effect, but those
reserves are rapidly depleting.
Pro-choice advocates see the change
as part of a broader attack on contraception
access. "It's a horror," says Rep.
Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.), who has
led the fight in Congress to preserve
access to birth control. She points to
U.S. pharmacists refusing for personal
or religious reasons to fill birth control
prescriptions, and four states—
Arkansas, Georgia, South Dakota and
Mississippi—enacting laws allowing
them to do so. She also cites a crackdown
on birth control by anti-choice
Republicans in Congress and the
White House. In 2002, the Department
of Defense approved a plan to
make emergency contraception (EC)
available at all military treatment facilities,
but political appointees later reversed
the decision. And in 2004, the
Department of Justice did not include
EC in its recommendations for treating
sexual-assault victims—an omission
Maloney calls intentional.
In every year he has held office,
Bush has sought to freeze Title X
funding, which pays basic operating
costs at more than 4,500 family planning
clinics serving millions of low-income
women. Congress nonetheless
approved slight increases in Bush's
first five years, but those were not
enough to keep up with inflation. In
fact, taking inflation into account, Title
X funding is now 61 percent lower
than it was in 1980, according to
the National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association.
Had funding levels merely kept up
with inflation, clinics would now receive
more than $725 million a year;
instead, Bush wants to freeze Title X
funds at last year's $283 million level.
Meanwhile, anti-choice Republicans
have found pots of money to
pour into abstinence-only programs,
which gag educators from discussing
contraception outside the context of
its failure rate. Critics have long
questioned the efficacy of these programs,
and they got a clear answer in
an April report conducted on behalf
of the Department of Health and
Human Services: It showed that abstinence-
only education does not
prevent young people from having
sex, nor does it influence the number
of sexual partners they have or the
age they first engage in intercourse.
Still, federal funding for abstinenceonly
has exploded from $80 million
in fiscal 2001 to $176 million, according
to NARAL Pro-Choice America.
What has shocked reproductiverights
advocates is that Democrats in
a House Appropriations subcommittee
voted to approve $28 million in
additional funding for communitybased
abstinence-only education. In
turn, the subcommittee also approved
a $28 million hike in Title X
family-planning funding. But the advocates
thought the compromise
both unnecessary and wrong: "There
is no other way to describe this concession
but as shameful," reads a
statement from William Smith, vice
president for public policy at the Sexuality
Information and Education
Council of the United States.
Other Democrats continue to push
a pro-family-planning agenda, however.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
wants to change the language in the Deficit Reduction Act to bring down
the price of birth control at health
clinics, while other rank-and-file
Democrats are promoting bills to require
that the Justice Department
mention EC in sexual-assault treatment
recommendations and the Defense
Department make EC available
at all military treatment facilities.
And they're counting on support
from Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid (D-Nev.) and House Rules
Chair Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.) to
push through the Prevention First
Act, which would ease access to contraception,
require insurers to cover
birth control, increase funding for
comprehensive sex education and ensure
that women can get their birth
control prescriptions filled. The prevention
push is also playing out in the
states: Between January and June 1,
state legislators introduced 151 measures
aimed at preventing unintended
pregnancy, and eight states passed
pregnancy-prevention laws.
Still, with a majority of federal
lawmakers opposed to access to full
reproductive health care, and a president
who bends to the will of antichoice
leaders, progress is slowgoing,
says Mary Jane Gallagher,
president of the National Family
Planning and Reproductive Health
Association. She notes the huge disconnect
between a vast majority of
voters who support unfettered access
to birth control, and their government
representatives who are unduly
influenced by a small but powerful
faction of conservatives.
"We're not there yet," Gallagher
says. "Clearly, the conservative right
made some serious inroads into policymakers
and so it's not going to happen

Well, folks - the day is almost here! In less than 21 hours from the time of this posting, the 1940 Census will begin to appear online! Yes, that's right - at 9:00 a.m., tomorrow morning, the first images will start to be uploaded onto FamilySearch.org, the organization which is leading the collaborative effort to bring the 1940 Census to all of us, free of charge. However, at that time (as I now stand corrected), the entire database will be available on the National Archives web site, and veiwers can even watch the opening event via webcast at http://1940census.archives.gov/
Tomorrow morning, Family Search will begin by uploading five states: Delaware, Virginia, Kansas, Oregon, and Colorado. Of these five, only one (Virginia) is a state of interest for me, but since I expect to find many answers about the whereabouts of some of my maternal ancestors in this state, I feel very fortunate that it's going to be one of the first available, since I've signed up as an indexer. :)
To explain the process to those readers who may not have already been notified, I will share the partial text of an email I received yesterday from the folks at The 1940 U.S. Census Project, who are leading the effort to recruit indexers. If you are interested in helping to make the census searchable, please adhere to the information below, so that you can sign up as an indexer. No experience is necessary, and you can do this from the comfort of your own home!
Get Ready, Get Set . . .
Thank you for your interest in the 1940 US Federal Census. This will be the last email you receive on behalf of the 1940 US Census Community Project before the images start to become available online.
What You Can Expect on April 2
The 1940 US Census Community Project is creating an index to the 1940 US Federal Census that will be made available for free. This is a joint effort between Archives, FindMyPast, FamilySearch, hundreds of societies, and tens of thousands of individual volunteers. The resulting index will be made available on the websites of the primary sponsors.
On the morning of Monday, April 2, NARA will release the digital images of the 1940 census to multiple parties, including the 1940 US Census Community Project. We will immediately start uploading these 3.6 million images to servers, where they will become available online over time. The ability for people to start accessing some of these images through the community project will take hours, not minutes.
As the first five states are loaded to servers, corresponding projects will be set up to index those images as state projects. We anticipate the first five states will be available for volunteer indexing by 10pm EDT.
The first five states to be loaded and ready for indexing on April 2 are the following:
The process of uploading images and setting up indexing projects by state will continue until all of the states and territories for this project are published, which may take up to two weeks to complete. Every day more images will be made available for browsing and indexing, so you will want to check back often to see which states are available.
The indexing process will be taking place through FamilySearch indexing. If you are already a FamilySearch indexing volunteer, these 1940 census projects will appear as new projects in the indexing software. No new software download or registration process is necessary to participate. If you are not currently a volunteer but want to participate in this historic opportunity, get started by downloading the indexing software and registering today.
You can keep up with the latest updates by visiting the1940census.com often over the next few weeks.
Thank You!
The 1940 US Census Community Project Team
My goal for tomorrow will be to try to locate as many of my maternal ancestors, as possible, since many of them had migrated by then from North Carolina to Virginia. I will be most pointedly searching for my maternal grandfather, Daniel Webster Hill, who abandoned his family sometime in 1938, and was never heard from again. How about you? What's going to be your research focus for "Release Day"! :)
*(This post was revised after I received a comment from reader, Joel Weintraub, of Dana Point, CA. Thanks, Joel!)
Formerly, "Just Thinking", this blog presents the thoughts and experiences of a family historian working to demystify the past and uncover the stories of an elusive ancestry. NC surnames are YARBOROUGH, GREEN, HAWKINS, DUNSTON, DAVIS, BROWN, ROSS, HILL, BRYANT, and DAVENPORT in Franklin, Warren, Halifax, and Tyrrell Counties. With so much of my family's history shrouded in darkness, is my personal mission to uncover the hidden details of my ancestry and bring them INTO THE LIGHT.

Modeling Current Distributions in a Molten Salt Electro-Refiner
Guest Alexandre Oury March 11, 2015
Today, we welcome a new guest blogger, Alexandre Oury of SIMTEC. He discusses the analysis of current distributions in a molten salt electro-refiner. In a webinar highlighting electrochemical recycling processes, SIMTEC presented a computational approach for predicting current distributions in a molten salt electro-refiner. The three main types of current distribution (primary, secondary, and tertiary) were treated, with a particular emphasis on the first two types. Using COMSOL Multiphysics, we implemented primary and secondary current distributions in an electrolysis cell.Read More
Guest Vincent Bruyere March 4, 2015
Today, we are pleased to introduce a new guest author, Vincent Bruyere of SIMTEC, who shares insight into the modeling of induction furnaces. Induction heating has become an important process in many applications, from cooking meals to manufacturing. It is valued for its precision and efficiency along with being a non-contact form of heating. In this guest post, I will describe how to build an induction furnace model in COMSOL Multiphysics and demonstrate how it can enhance your design.Read More

Today, guest blogger and Certified Consultant Mark Yeoman of Continuum Blue shares a numerical modeling example for RFID applications. We'll look at how we can make use of COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software to determine the operating read range of a passive RFID tag powered by a reader's interrogating field. Additionally, we will look at how we can maximize this operating range by optimizing the tag's antenna design.Read More
Guest Nagi Elabbasi August 8, 2014
Today, we invite guest blogger Nagi Elabbasi of Veryst Engineering to share the work they performed on simulating wear in COMSOL Multiphysics. Using COMSOL Multiphysics, we implemented a wear model and validated it by simulating a pin-on-disc wear test. We then used the model to predict wear in an automotive disc brake problem. The results we found showed good agreement with published wear data.Read More

Modular orthopedic devices, common in replacement joints, allow surgeons to tailor the size, material, and design of an implant directly to a patient's needs. This flexibility and customization is counterbalanced, however, by a need for the implant components to fit together correctly. With parts that are not ideally matched, micro-motions and stresses on mismatched surfaces can cause fretting fatigue and corrosion. Researchers at Continuum Blue Ltd. have assessed changes to femoral implant designs to quantify and prevent this damage.Read More

Guest Mark Yeoman May 13, 2014
We have the pleasure of introducing guest blogger, Mark Yeoman of Continuum Blue, who showcases what they can do for clients in the electromechanical brake field. Electromechanical brakes come in various designs, including single to multiple friction-face systems, power-off and power-on types, and those that include permanent magnets. With so many options, how do engineers make the right design choices for their application? With COMSOL Multiphysics, this can easily be done. Here, I will show you how.Read More

According to AMPHOS 21, a COMSOL Certified Consultant, one of the proposed solutions to releasing carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere is to store the CO2 in geological formations, a technique referred to as carbon dioxide sequestration. This notion led the engineers at AMPHOS 21 to study the physical and chemical processes that occur during the injection of the gas into earth's subsurface.Read More
Guest Nagi Elabbasi April 22, 2014
Today, we invite guest blogger Nagi Elabbasi of Veryst Engineering to share a modeling example of immersed beams. When thin structures such as beams, plates, or shells are immersed in a fluid, their natural frequencies are reduced. The fluid also affects their mode shapes and is a source of damping. This phenomenon affects structures across a wide range of industries and sizes, from micro-scale structures (e.g. MEMS actuators) to larger structures (e.g. ships).Read More
Guest Jorge Molinero February 18, 2014
Today, we are pleased to introduce a new guest author, Jorge Molinero of Amphos 21, a COMSOL Certified Consultant, who blogs about their new iCP technology. Along with several other parties, we at Amphos 21 have launched iMaGe, a multiphysics and geochemistry interfacing platform. The platform's first product, iCP, connects COMSOL and PHREEQC, enabling the modeling of coupled Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical-Chemical phenomena.Read More

The first time Kyle Waddell dressed out for a Bluffton varsity football game, the then-freshman stood on the sideline and witnessed a lopsided loss to rival Hilton Head in 2009.
When Waddell and his senior teammates play their final regular-season home game Friday against Colleton County, he'll be in the middle of the action.
Almost everything has changed since the Bobcat seniors' first season, when the football program was still relatively new and looking for an identity. Today, Bluffton is a defending Lower State champion gunning for a region championship during its first season at the SCHSL Class AAAA level.
The Bobcats went 3-7 the year Waddell, now a starting linebacker, watched his team fall 55-12 to Hilton Head. Since coach Ken Cribb took over before the 2010 season, they've gone 35-3.
"I can still remember when he first came here and was like, 'We're gonna be winners! We're gonna be winners!'" Waddell said of Cribb. "And when the season started off and we started winning, I thought, 'Maybe there's something to this guy.'"
Bluffton used a high-scoring offense and opportunistic defense to quickly become one of the top programs in the Lowcountry. Cribb said a one-point loss to Berkeley, then the defending AAAA champ, made his team believe it was a state contender in 2010.
C.J. Frazier, Bluffton's third-year starting quarterback, points to that year's 40-35 playoff victory at Hartsville as the moment the program took off.
"It was just crazy how many people were there," Frazier said. "We took over Hartsville. That's when 'Bobcat nation' really started. Even after we lost to Myrtle Beach, everybody was so excited for the next season."
During a 14-1, state runner-up season in 2011, winning became the norm for the Bobcats. With an unbeaten start this fall, the current seniors are the only players left on campus who tasted some of the program's early struggles.
"If you're at Publix or something like that, people recognize you as a football player (now)," Waddell said. "So it's completely changed from my freshman year to now."
The Bobcats are on the verge of a third consecutive region title, but they have two games to play, Friday against Colleton County and next week at Summerville.
Colleton County (0-9 overall, 0-3) Region 8-AAAA is mired in a 32-game losing streak. The Cougars, who have not won since October 2009, have been outscored by an average of 32-7 this season.
Bluffton (9-0, 3-0) has wrapped up a playoff spot, Cribb said, by assuring itself of a top-three finish in the region. A potential region title would be decided against Summerville, regardless of the outcome of Friday's game.
The Bobcats appear eager to improve on last week's tight, 27-26 victory over Fort Dorchester, in which the Patriots missed a 21-yard field goal as time expired. That performance, which included a pair of turnovers that let their opponents back in it, created a new sense of urgency, Waddell said.
"I think all season long, we kind of felt like we were the top dogs," he said. "Friday night, we got punched in the mouth. I know it woke me up. Hopefully, that'll set a fire under a lot of the guys."
What: Colleton County at Bluffton
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday
Where: Bobcat Stadium

On June 9, 2008, the butchered body of Travis Alexander was found in his Arizona home with twenty-nine knife wounds, his throat slit, and a gunshot to the head. The prime suspect was Alexander's ex-girlfriend, Jodi Arias, who lied for years about her involvement before finally resting on an appalling claim: she had killed Travis in self-defense. Soon, graphic stories about the Mormon couple's relationship and their lurid sexual encounters emerged, launching a trial filled with sex and deception and raising substantial questions about Arias's deceit-filled world.Now, with unbridled access to the case, award-winning broadcast journalist Jane Velez-Mitchell unearths Jodi's history to illustrate the disturbing pattern of a murderer in the making. Using insider accounts from those closest to Travis and Jodi, she separates fact from fiction, reporting on the bizarre and explicit stories that have shocked and fascinated the American public. Complete with photos and Velez-Mitchell's fresh insights, Exposed takes readers behind closed bedroom doors to uncover the truth behind the secret life of Jodi Arias.

Steveston has been gussied up to attract the tourists and has some interesting small stores but it is a beloved spot for the locals too. One of my group bought a whole fresh salmon right from a fishing boat at the wharf below us.
Those are beautiful shots JMB. What a great place to lunch with the walking group and I can almost taste the salmon. That's one of my favorite foods. I hope you have a great weekend.
Nice hanging flowers. I actually considered that for the theme too. Happy hunting!
Hanging flowers sure brighten up the place :)
Happy weekend JMB!! :)
wow so bright and eye catching
Nice photos. Have to admit it wasn't the stuff hanging that caught this beer geek's eye, though, but, rather, the name Russell -- is that the name of a local beer? ;b
A lovely day for dining in the open! The weather must be nice to produce such beautiful flowers.
Lovely flowers hanging on the post. It sure gives life to the place.
What lovely photos! And you have a great weekend too. :)
These are great! I was just in Steveston last Friday with my Welsh visitors. We also took in London Heritage Farm, and I'll post some photos from there later. I never get tired of going to Steveston - and buying fish right off the boats there.
Yes, it does look like a bright sunny day. I bet it was a good outdoor eating time ;)
Pearl - have a good weekend
These baskets really brighten things up. Wonderful colors. Nice choice for The Hunt.
Good take on the theme - I cannot get hanging baskets to work :(
Gorgeous flowers! Looks like a great place to have lunch. Happy weekend!
nice photo! great weather too! perfect time to hang out... have a great weekend :)
Beautiful! I have hanging baskets, but yours are so full and bright.
beautiful blooms....
Brill colours.
Have a great weekend
Nice place for a walk, this is very cool.
How delightful! Lovely flowers and photo, too!
Hi JMB. Those hanging baskets of flowers are beautiful. I love how they are filled with different colors of lovely flowers.
Beautiful hanging baskets! I have some but they're not nearly that full and luscious.
I'm a bit late for photohunt today… Cool catch for today's theme... Mine's up too hope you can drop by... Happy weekend!
fabulous...I like the whole concept. The town looks very quaint and would be a perfect spot for vacationers.
Thanks for the visit today, and you too...you have a terrific weekend also.
Lovely shot. The village looks amazing...a place I WOULD enjoy!
Thank you for your visit to snap2days
Those hanging baskets are very full, lots of lovely colour.
Finally getting around to posting. I used to like hanging baskets, but they are so water intensive and with our drought and hot weather in summer they don't work so well. We are slowly drought proofing as we develop our new garden.
I like hanging baskets and your pictures of them were well done.
nice photos!
I posted hanging baskets as well (great minds think alike!!!)
Hope you're having a great weekend. take care =D
Looks like a lovely spot....
What a gorgeous place, the colors and tones just so rich and warm.
The log cabins I love! Love their architecture, really like my timbers..almost a little Sydney Opera House feel going on. :)
I am off scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef in a fortnight, it has been so cold in Victoria, (all relative when Winnipeg has minus 40's!!) Canada at the moment looks so warm and....well, warm!
What a gorgeous bunch of flowers. Very pretty JMB.
Nice and colourful :-)
You do find some lovely places for your lunch!!
What is gussied up? Well, I know what you mean - we'd say tarted up or prettified - but where does the word come from?
What a beautiful place to lunch. And great take on the theme with all those hanging baskets. I have a few hanging baskets up myself!
What a nice place is that!
Looks like a nice place to enjoy lunch - not too busy and full of hustle and bustle (so it appears).
Love the basket in the first pic.

Hmm, there are some things that kinda need explanation...
1. I thought that Brain Burst is one software that has no chance of a cheating system, but seems in the 2nd cour, there are a lot of ways of "cheating" the system.
2. How come Megumi can go into Accelerated World without installing the program?

I enjoyed the episode, but I must say that Megumi's appearance was a literal Deus ex Machina in my opinion. The only thing missing are the wire-cables suspending her from the sky as she pops in, waves her magic wand and pops out.
My thought at that moment was, "Okay..."

I don't think BK needed Megumi to beat Sulfur Pot. I do, however, believe that she made it a lot easier.
I enjoyed today's' episode. With the knowledge that no matter how badly I wanted AW to go back to the main story line, it was not going to happen; I could relax and enjoy the full 22 minutes of fighting. The action was good, and the villain was interesting. I liked Megumi's power and want to know how she lost her abilities in the past, though, "for now" we won't be able to learn anything. The resolution was pretty funny. Eaten by your own pet....
Quick Thoughts
- I wonder what animal Black Knight (or friends) are going to tame, and who will get it? I don't believe they show anyone with a robo-dog in the opening, though I doubt that will be the thing that becomes the Black's pet.
- Why didn't Crikin keep the remote dive object? It would allow him to get back into the game.... I know I would
- Did Black Knight camp Sulfur Pot? LOL "I'll kill that King. Damn that Black Knight... okay, times up. I can log back in. . . . . . . . Oh crap!"
- What did Green Mode do? More agility, perhaps? I have always accredited the color green with the agility stat... so maybe?
- Next week we get back to the main story line. Urrgh. 6 days & 23 and a half hours to go!
D O M I N A T I O N ! Oh yeah!
(9/10) All things considered, I enjoyed this episode. It had a lot of little things that make AW great. Also, it ended the arc so it allowed the main story to continue next week. Excellent.

About my only issue with her part in this really was that they never really explained how she was a burst linker and how exactly she forgot about Brain Burst and how she remembered how to play and what her special skil was the second she went back in. Maybe that's for later on down the road who knows.
Anyway am I the only person that feels that her ability is not that OP and could easily backfire. Granted it could fuck over a ton of people in the zone, but it could also switch the battlefield to an element your team is not equipped to handle. Also the juries out on whether she has any offensive abilities at all. It kind of looks like one of those context sensitive high risk gamble abilities.
It's obvious to me that there's something going on in Accel World beyond just the stalemate between the Kings right now. Noumi and Sulfur Pot both appear to have abilities they shouldn't have, back doors and exploits are being slowly revealed like the Incarnate System and the twins power to communicate almost telepathically and form a pseudo-wireless connection to the game world, Sulfur Pot doing something similar by playing from Tokyo, whisperings of other people like Noumi and Sulfur Pot. Sounds like a bonafide conspiracy and setup for a second season if you ask me.

As for why Black Knight knows nothing about Megumi, that is the real boggle of this episode. Isn't Black Knight one of the earlier (original?) Burst Linkers? How is it she not only does not know who Megumi is, but doesn't seem to care to find out? With a power like hers, and her (assisted by a shaman (magic effecting digital?)) ability to return to the game after being forced out of it... Black Knights lack of curiosity infuriates me.

Well, his avatar is called Crimson Kingbolt, generally the second part of the name has some connection with their special abilities, Silver Crow - wings, Cyan Pile - spike, Red Rider - horse etc.

Best AW episode so far
Lots of good action. Kyh shows a green power up - guess she still has other coloured power ups. Figures, Black is all colours together, after all.
The dragon rider certainly is a novum, although that Sulphur guy is pretty pathetic himself. I think he only got the dragon by hacking or some exploit, I can't imagine him fighting the dragon and winning, in order to apply that tamer to him.
The bolt guy, which looked rather harmless, can transform into a Transformer and then really dish out the pain. His fire power might even come close to Red King level, although with a much better movability.
Megumi's appearance was interesting. I think she was a Burst Linker at an earlier time, but then stopped for some reason, without being completely defeated. Technically, she would still be a Burst Linker, but someone (or something) made her forget about the game. Then, something shortly bridged the memory leak, and she returned for a short while. Looks like she can change the stage to another one she chooses. Hope we'll get to know more about her and her abilities later.
Finally, once in their element, the two mermaid girls also did a good contribution, so the dragon could be freed and then helped himself to some nice dinner
Next episode, next to that freaky Noumi guy. I somehow get the feeling that Noumi and that Sulphur guy belong to the same group of people hacking BrainBurst.

Well, its only because its the lesser known cousin of Kingpin. Which again fits him, being the lesser-known "king" in the Red Legion.
As for Leopard Maid, let's just say that she appears in blurb of the latest SAO book with Silica, waving the signs "More Deban!"
Its this author thing of his to have an awesome heroine that everyone dies for, a black character oozing coolness, and a cameo character that never gets enough screentime. So we're probably never going to see much of her.
Which is sad, because everytime she pops up in the OP I'm thinking WILHEMINA, KANZAKI KAORU, ITOU SHIZUKA WHERE?!
Finally watched to the end of the episode. And I am AMAZED by the direction in this episode. So much information was gleaned just by being attentive instead of being told to you. For example, the one who sold the butterfly pendant to Megumi was Crikin. This was after showing us roughly what Crikin looks like IRL. Or that ghost of Megumi's Past being a foreshadowing as to what happens to a player after leaving the Accel World, which in a way was what I was thinking could be the case.
We all know that the reins is for Hime to ride the magnificent flying steed Silver Crow.
Now, we're back to stomping Noumi's face in a 2nd time. Because its so satisfying I'd have NTR Queen res him over and over just for it!

I can't help but feel like this episode was a meta-commentary on modern anime: "Magical girls now trump giant mechas!"
But on a purely superficial level, this was a very cool and fun episode... and it having both Transformers (that's the first thing it made me think of too) and magical girls is definitely a big reason why.
The action scenes were a blast, and fun to watch. Like Kaioshin, I never really had a sense that KYH's back was truly against the ropes, but on the other hand there were times when I was wondering just how the heck they were going to beat that big, giant fire-breathing monster. That defeat involving a total Deus ex Machina was slightly disappointing at a literary level, I guess you could say, but I honestly thought it was Ok for an amusing little side-adventure that's mainly there to develop KYH and some supporting cast characters, as well as reveal a shady organization that needs to be dealt with it.
It also was a nice break from the Noumi arc, really. But I'm also glad we're finally going to get to find out what's going on with Chiyu next episode...
