Spoiler for Main cast:
Original creator : Jin (Shizen no Teki-P)
Plot summary : The story focuses on a boy named Hibiya who lost his girlfriend Hiyori to a traffic accident. His desire to save her sets him on a looping day where he gets the opportunity to try and save his girlfriend again and again without success. After innumerable attempts, Hibiya makes the decision to save Hiyori at the cost of his life, and ends up getting killed in the accident instead. The girl is saved... but now she's the one who's performing the looping day in order to save him...
Note : Jin garnered a fan following with Kagerō (Heat Mirage) Project music videos performed by virtual Vocaloid voices and posted on the niconico (formerly Nico Nico Douga) streaming service, such as "Kagerō Days" and "Children Record". The Kagerō Project already has novel and manga adaptations under the name of one of the songs, "Kagerō Days." They are set in August, when the air is alive with the buzzing of cicada and the shimmering of heat mirages. An "incident" in a certain town is seen through the eyes of different people.

Wait... "incident"? Kagerou Days?
They can't possibly be thinking of adapting THIS into the story of the anime won't they?
Spoiler for Summary/Interpretation:
... damn, my heart nearly couldn't take the story for that one, too heartbreaking. Seeing an anime version would be overkill

Really cool. This has really peeked my interests, I'm definitely going to watch this and see where this goes. As a vocaloid fan I'm sure this will be handled well depending on who picks this up.

Looking forward to seeing what kind of anime this'll be. I listened to Kagerou Days a while back and loved it, but never thought it would spawn so many derivative works. Now to check out all the other songs in the project... (although some of them don't seem to have as clear of a "story" as Kagerou Days does?)

A little error in the discription, Hiyori is the one who is dying on purpose first to to save Hibiya.
But Hibiya, unknowing of this fact, is trying to prevent Hiyori from dying.
BTW, the first volume novel of this is out. And from the way volume one ended, "Konoha no Sekai Jijou" might be the central pole of the novel.
Also, the Kagerou Days PV posted up there is not the original, but a fan interpretation.
Original is this one: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm15751190

Actually? Wow.
I mean, I was just wondering if Kagerou Project would ever get an anime some day. . . Surprised; will most certainly check it out even though I'm not a huge fan of Jin's songs (took forever for Kagerou Days to grow on me, only kind of like Mousou Forest of his other songs, still need to check out his latest lol).
Besides that, I thought Kagerou Project was about much more than just the characters/story featured in Kagerou Days?
I'm not sure, though, I never really looked anything up despite being curious about the light novel. I heard somethings secondhand.
Well, I suppose now would be a good time to listen to his mylist again.

Kagerou Project is itself a wierd series of songs for me. I mean...
...for once how did Hibiya and Hiyori avert the loop? Did the Actor end it? When does Kisaragi Attention, Artificial Enemy, and Imagination Forest occur?
A good anime would be a nice treat indeed.
...and now the question is When?

Angela had a red rash on her face (1). She had not enjoyed one good night's
sleep (nor had her mother!) since birth (3). When her mother weaned her at
seven months, Angela refused nay other milk. She woke in the middle of the
night crying, distressed, and disoriented. Her parents allowed her to sleep
with them. Otherwise she woke all the time crying for her mother (3). She
fought for hours against going to sleep. It was as if she were in a frenzy
every night (3). Angela's desperate parents had even given her sleeping pills
without success.
Angela was extremely willful (3). She insisted on having things her way (3).
It was very difficult to travel with her and international travel was essential
to her parents' lifestyle because of her father's occupation. She screamed
during our interview with her. When she threw a fit, Angela was inconsolable
(3). Nothing satisfied her (3). Even when given a bottle of juice, she usually
refused it. She often threw herself on the floor when she didn't get her way
(3). She became bored very easily (2).
Angela loved people. She was very lively and didn't like to rest (3). She
lived in a busy household. There were always friends and family members coming
and going. She loved animals. She walked at nine months and ran at ten months.
She climbed on everything fearlessly. She loved to put on her mother's
lipstick. When we inquired as to whether Angela was musical, her mother
reported that she danced to music all the time. As soon as the music came on,
she moved and danced. Even at her very young age, she sat at the piano and
played. She liked to play her father's guitar when he held her on his knee.
People often commented on her rhythmical talents.
Angela had been diagnosed with dermatomyositis. She suffered from purplish,
red, scarred areas on her fingers which looked like tiny splinters. The
Australian physicians considered this an unusual condition for an infant.
Now take some time to study this interesting case, then turn to page
___ for the case analysis. This will probably be a very easy case for any of
you who are familiar with the homeopathic materia medica.
If you have read our previous articles of kingdoms of remedies, consider for a
moment whether Angela belongs to the mineral, plant or animal kingdom. You will
probably conclude very quickly that this lively, engaging, aggressive child has
an animal nature. Other traits of Angela which correspond to individuals
needing animal remedies are her desire to attract attention and to be
attractive (loving to put on her mother's lipstick), love of being with others
(her pack, so to speak), and her constant tendency to climb on things.
Once you have identified that Angela is likely to need an animal remedy, you
can narrow the focus to the appropriate species of animal. Angela lacked the
suspiciousness, jealousy, and hypervigilance of the snake remedies. She fit
more closely a spider remedy. Common spider characteristics are
mischieviousness, restless, a desire to climb on furniture, quick movement, a
lively personality, a strong need to be the center of attention, and a
charming, but tricky and manipulative nature.
Which spider? Angela's love of rhythmic music and the piano and her propensity
for dancing as well as the pervasive beat of the didgeridu with which she had
been raised, even in utero, made the selection obvious.
We gave Angela one dose of Tarentula. This medicine, made from the Spanish
spider, is for overactive children who are extremely lively, love to be the
center of attention, climb like little spiders, and love dancing and rhythmic
music. They can have tantrums and fits and often have a sneaky, manipulative
quality. The term "frenzy", mentioned by Angela's mother, is often true in
children needing this remedy. It is understandable that Angela, raised in an
environment of music and dance, needed this lively medicine. Another
characteristic of children needing Tarentula which we have often seen, though
not part of Angela's case, is a desire to cut clothing and other objects,
usually with a scissors.
Some of the mental rubrics in which Tarentula is the ONLY remedy and which
give you a real flavor of the remedy are: "Cursing, swearing; threatening
destruction and death"; "Destructiveness; cunning"; "Excitement, excitable;
dancing, singing and weekping, with music, from"; "Feigning; looking to others
in distress"; "Hysteria; music ameliorates"; "Insanity, pulls her own hair";
"Mania, madness; destructive efforts, sudden foxlike, requiring utmost
vigilance, followed by laughter and apologies"; "Quarrelsomeness, scolding;
hysteric mania, at beginning of";
"Shrieking, screaming, shouting; laughter, after";
Striking; children, in; other, when not observed"; and "Tears; things; books,
Angela's mother called from Australia five weeks after she took the medicine.
Angela had no further tantrums or extreme moodiness, "just the odd two year old
stuff". Her behavior was nothing compared to before she took the Tarentula. She
was much more easily distracted when she became upset. She jumped up and down
occasionally when her mother said "no", and that was it. She was quite a bit
easier to entertain. She could sit in a car now, which had been a major problem
previously. Her teeth grinding, which her mother forgot to mention in the first
interview, was ninety percent improved. The redness and scarring on her hands
was also better. When we explained to Angela's mother about the medicine which
we had given her, she added that Angela tended to nibble on their ears all the
time. Prior to the homeopathy, she had tapped on everything, teased, and acted
very mischievously. These behaviors had also improved. "Looks like Miss
Spider's working", her mother commented.
Angela needed one more dose of the Tarentula five months later because some
of her symptoms had returned, though to a much lesser degree than before the
homeopathic treatment. Her mother communicated to me that Angela's
dermatologist was quite surprised that the redness and inflammation of her
fingers had improved dramatically.

A month into fiscal 2017, some economists are keeping an eye out for signs of a funding crisis like the one that hit Massachusetts this past spring.
"We will monitor to see if some sort of trend is developing," said Andy Bagley, vice president of policy and research for the nonprofit Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation.
In the last quarter of fiscal 2016, which ended June 30, state revenues fell drastically short of projected levels, leaving Massachusetts with a $300 million gap in last year's budget and a hole in the fiscal 2017 budget, estimated to be approximately $240 million after spending cuts, vetoes and overrides. Fiscal 2017 revenue forecasts were lowered by $750 million.
So far, revenues in the young fiscal year appear to be on track, with July tax receipts coming in at $7 million above predicted levels, according to information the Department of Revenue released Aug. 3.
"In every forecast, models are obviously tied to what's occurred in the past," Bagley said. "The question we all have to ask is, was the fourth quarter an anomaly of certain events that just happened to occur?"
With low unemployment, steady job growth and a seemingly healthy economy, the slumping revenues – mainly tax receipts – that closed fiscal 2016 remain somewhat of a mystery to some.
Noah Berger, executive director of the nonprofit Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center, points to volatility in the stock market as a likely culprit.
"In FY '16, we saw the effects of overly optimistic revenue projections that didn't account properly for the declines in the stock market in the prior year," he said. "I think, going forward, the new revenue estimates look reasonable."
The Baker administration filed a supplemental budget to address fiscal 2016 budget gaps, while lowered revenue projections for the current fiscal year were incorporated into the fiscal 2017 budget.
"The closing months of Fiscal Year 2016 were an important reminder that when we control our spending it allows us to adjust for unexpected changes," Secretary of Administration and Finance Kristen Lepore said in a statement after Gov. Charlie Baker signed the 2017 budget. "The work we have done with the Legislature to align spending with revenue during the past two years while maintaining critical support for key priorities will continue to serve us well in the coming year."
Some economists continue to voice concerns.
"The larger problem with the current budget is it relies significantly on temporary solutions, and there are a number of accounts that are underfunded that will likely have to receive funds during the year," Berger said.
Since the financial crisis of 2007-08, which impacted state revenues in fiscal 2009 and spilled into 2010, revenue projections were on target every year until fiscal 2016, Bagley recalled. That, he said, makes fiscal 2016 even more puzzling.
"This was the first time I've seen the forecast fall below the benchmark in a recovery," Bagley said. "What's a little disconcerting is this is going on in the middle of a recovery."
Last fiscal year started off well, as revenues came in above benchmark levels for the first nine months. But in the last quarter of the fiscal year, sales tax and corporate tax payments fell well short of projected levels.
Additionally, Berger points to decade-and-a-half-old tax cuts as another contributing factor to the state's budget issues. In the past 15 years, every governor has entered office and left office with the state facing budget shortfalls, he said.
"Since then, we've had ongoing budget problems and made deep cuts to education, local aid, higher education and other areas," Berger said. "I think the deep tax cuts are the biggest factor. Massachusetts, like other states, also faced growing healthcare costs, and that puts pressure on the budget as well."

The Chillicothe Police Department has recently identified its location as "A Safe Haven for Newborns" drop off site.
Safe Havens for Newborns are approved locations where women, after delivery, can safely leave unwanted or unprovidable newborn child in the care of law enforcement officials or medical staff, without the fear of legal penalties.
In 1999 an overwhelming number of infant abandonments took place. Never before in a single year had so many mothers decided that they couldn't care for their children — and then disposed of their newborn infants in unsafe and tragic ways.
In response, a group of people worked together to create a law providing an alternative. This law would protect the mother and assure her that she would not be prosecuted for relinquishing her baby. So long as the baby was safe and given to a responsible adult at a designated location, the mother would be free to go anonymously.
Since its inception, more than 2,000 babies are known to have been positively impacted by the Baby Safe Haven program.
The Missouri law states that a mother can leave her baby, up to 1 year old, with an on duty employee at any hospital, fire department, emergency medical professional or law enforcement agency in Missouri.
Safe Haven Infant Protection Laws enable a person to give up an unwanted infant anonymously. As long as the baby has not been abused, the person may do so without fear of arrest or prosecution.
The purpose of Safe Haven is to protect unwanted babies from being hurt or killed because they were abandoned.
There have been tragic stories of babies left in dumpsters or public toilets. The parents who committed these acts may have been under severe emotional distress. The mothers may have hidden their pregnancies, fearful of what would happen if their families found out. Because they were afraid and had nowhere to turn for help, they abandoned their babies.
Abandoning a baby puts the child in extreme danger. Too often, it results in the child's death. It is also illegal, with severe consequences. But with Safe Haven, this tragedy doesn't ever have to happen.
The Chillicothe Fire Department was certified as a Safe Haven for Newborns late last year.

Peace, stability and security
In order to ensure welfare and security in Norway, as well as in other countries, we must strive to prevent, reduce and resolve conflicts. It is important to safeguard the international legal order and maintain binding international cooperation. Collective defence with our allies gives Norway security and freedom of action.
The UN and the legal order that the UN plays a key role in upholding are of crucial importance for Norway. At the same time, our membership of NATO and our transatlantic ties are a mainstay of Norwegian foreign and security policy. Our engagement in peace and reconciliation efforts is also important, and Norway is significant supporter of UN peace diplomacy. Mutual, balanced and verifiable disarmament is in line with Norway's values and interests. Norway also attaches importance to using development policy tools to address global security challenges.
All this together provides a framework for stability and security at both national and international level.
- safeguard Norway's security, sovereignty, territorial integrity and political freedom of action
- promote international peace, stability and conflict resolution
- promote resilience, respect for human rights and development in fragile states
- prevent and combat radicalisation, violent extremism, organised crime, piracy, cyber threats and conflict
- maintain and further develop the international legal order
- achieve mutual, balanced and verifiable disarmament
Military personnel serving with the UN
Norway currently has a total of around 45 military personnel serving in three UN missions: MINUSMA in Mali, UNMISS in South Sudan and UNTSO in the Middle East. In addition, a total of around 30 police officers are taking part in missions in South Sudan (UNMISS), Liberia (UNMIL), Haiti (MINUSTAH) and Colombia (UNMC).
Aid to combat crime and terrorism
In 2016, Norway established two new development programmes: one to support efforts to combat serious and organised crime and one to prevent and combat violent extremism and terrorism.
Women and mediation
The Association of African Women Mediators was established in 2013 with Norwegian support. Today, nearly 150 women participate in the network and have received training in mediation. Most of them are from South Africa.
- helping to prevent, reduce and resolve conflicts through our support to the UN and our engagement in peace and reconciliation work
- supporting the UN in its efforts to safeguard international peace and security
- taking our share of the international community's responsibility in the UN Security Council, if we are elected as member for 2021-2022.
- taking active part in international cooperation in, and with, the UN, NATO, the OSCE, the EU and the Council of Europe
- taking part in international peace operations and coalition operations
- cooperating with our allies and others on addressing global security challenges such as terrorism, organised crime and cybercrime
- promoting stability through institution-building and development
- playing an active role in multilateral disarmament forums
- seeking to ensure that women's and men's rights are respected in all efforts to promote peace, stability and security
Women, peace and security
The active participation of women is essential to resolving conflicts and creating lasting peace. Norway supports the work of local, regional and international actors to further the women, peace and security agenda.
Peace and reconciliation in Colombia
Norway has been involved in peace and reconciliation efforts in Colombia for several decades. Together with Cuba, Norway has been official facilitator of the peace process with FARC-EP since 2012.

Suffolk University Law School Professor Andrew Perlman, whose work focuses on legal ethics and professional responsibility, is available to comment on the ethics of Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring's declaration that he will not defend the state's ban on same-sex marriage, which Herring believes is unconstitutional. Instead Virginia will join a suit asking a federal court to strike it down.
Perlman says that the appropriateness of the attorney general's decision revolves around whom he represents: the people, the government or the interests of justice.
"The answer is often context-specific. But when push comes to shove, if the attorney general believes that the law is indefensible from a constitutional standpoint, I believe it is ethically appropriate for him to refuse to defend the law."
Perlman served as the chief reporter for the ABA Commission on Ethics 20/20, which successfully proposed numerous changes to the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct and related policies to address advances in technology and the increasing globalization of law practice. He is a member of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court's Standing Advisory Committee on the Rules of Professional Conduct and has written widely on issues related to professional responsibility.

Christian Wiese Svanberg
Copenhagen, Denmark
Class Year:
Prior Education:
BA in European Law & West European Studies, University of Wolverhampton, UK
Cand. Jur, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
What I Did Before Law School:
I am on leave of absence from my job as Head of Section in the Danish Ministry of Justice where I have worked with Criminal Law, anti-terrorism, Administrative Law and Privacy Law. I also taught Constitutional Law at the University of Copenhagen Faculty of Law.
Why I Chose Penn Law:
I visited a number of Penn Law's closest "competitors" prior to choosing where to go. What made the difference was the sense I got that this school has real respect for its students and as a results makes sure that everyone feels welcome and challenged at the same time. I haven't been disappointed.
My Best Experience at Penn Law:
The ease with which I made friends.
Professor Who Influenced Me Most:
I really liked the way Professor Stephen Morse teaches his Criminal Law class. It may seem like he is being hard on the students, but take my word for it as a lawyer with some experience, you'll get to appreciate what he was doing once you get out in the real world.
My Favorite Course:
The Cybercrime Seminar taught by Mr. Michael L. Levy really is the perfect fusion of law and technology. And it's taught by someone with real-world experience prosecuting those types of cases.
My Favorite Philadelphia Moment:
Just one? I'll say grabbing a cheesesteak at Pat's and then jumping on the subway to go see the Eagles play in front of 68,000 fans. That was a great day.
What I'm Most Proud Of:
Figuring out what I wanted out of my Penn Law experience and then sticking to it regardless of what everyone else was doing.
My Extracurricular Activities at Penn Law:
The Federalist Society, flag football and working as a research assistant at a local think tank.
My Favorite Place or Activity on the University Campus:
The Palestra. That place just oozes basketball history.
Where you live:
Where you live really is crucial to your experience at Penn Law. I would recommend staying in University City. The Left Bank Building where I live was great. Find someone to share a 1 bedroom with, and you'll cut costs. You'll be close to Law School and within walking distance of Center City.

Northern Tier Network Links North Dakota Scientists to Global Research
BISMARCK, N.D. - Participation in the Northern Tier Network is connecting North Dakota researchers with scientific work applicable here in North Dakota and around the world, according to a report presented at the Jan. 27, 2011, State Board of Higher Education meeting.
Operational in North Dakota since 2009, the Northern Tier Network has elevated research conducted in the state, making it part of the national research networking footprint.
"The Northern Tier Network removed barriers that prohibited North Dakota from being competitive with leading national research universities," said Phyllis Johnson, vice president for research and economic development at the University of North Dakota. "Now we are at the table with some of the nation's best."
"Northern Tier provides the advanced computing infrastructure now required to participate in work sponsored by the National Science Foundation and helps our state attract top scientists and researchers," said Bonnie Neas, vice president for information technology at North Dakota State University.
High-performance computing provides scientific tools and enables new types of collaborations not possible just a few years ago. Examples include:
Four-dimensional modeling simulation to better understand tornado formation, using supercomputers located several states away. (Time is the fourth dimension.)
Real-time sharing of electron-microscope work with scientists thousands of miles away
Rapid transfer of very large data files that would take 10 days at the Internet speed available for home use compared to the Northern Tier time of one and one-half hours. Several North Dakota researchers and graduate students currently work with files of this size.
A 13-state consortium for the advancement of high-performance research and education, the Northern Tier Network enhances the economic vitality of member states. Other states participating in Northern Tier include Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. The Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education - or WICHE - also is a member of the network.
Planning for the network began in 2003. One-time funding provided to North Dakota includes $3.25 million in federal funds, $2.77 million in state funding approved by the North Dakota Legislative Assembly, and $2.1 million from the National Science Foundation. In addition, the Northern Tier Network Consortium members of Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana and Washington are partners in a $62.5 million grant to connect to Internet2. The five states will receive a considerable increase in bandwidth (the maximum currently available in the marketplace) for their Northern Tier Network segments. It is estimated that, through this multi-state partnership, North Dakota's long-term operating costs will be reduced.
NDSU and UND received a total of $1 million of the original federal funding to improve campus connections to the Northern Tier Network. Funding for North Dakota's continued participation in the Northern Tier Network is included in the North Dakota University System's 2011-13 budget request.

The new program is a merging of the organization formerly known as Hetland Youth Hockey with a three-year-old effort Somerset hockey mom Darlene Mauretti had been making in Fall River.
A girl playing youth hockey on a boys team has been a common sight for decades on the SouthCoast, but most girls admit feeling intimidated by having to approach a rough sport in such a rough manner. Given the chance, Abbey Luth jumped at the chance to skate with, and against, girls only.
"Definitely, because I tried boys hockey and all they want to do is hit you and not play the game," said the 13-year-old from Dartmouth. "It is an aggressive game, but not so much that you should just go out there and hit people. It shouldn't be like that."
For years, girls in boys hockey games have felt like Average Joe's dodgeballers in their first session with Patches O'Houlihan — "dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge!" Thankfully those days are numbered with the creation of the Southcoast Panthers girls hockey program.
The new program is a merging of the organization formerly known as Hetland Youth Hockey with a three-year-old effort Somerset hockey mom Darlene Mauretti had been making in Fall River.
"These are girls who always had interest in playing, they watched their brothers playing, but there was always that intimidation factor," said Mauretti, who formed a modest U10 team at Driscoll Arena. "I pulled girls from (Police Athletic League) street hockey, I had girls coming in bringing their friends in, bringing in bags of equipment, outfitting them, patching them together like the Charmin commercial. You know, all wrapped up.
"I think the key was creating an environment that the girls felt comfortable being in. That was the key."
Her best player was Ellie Fellows, a well-seasoned rinkrat from Westport who was skating with a group of girls of varying in age, ability and experience. Three years later and with the scene shifted from Fall River to New Bedford, the 13-year-old from Westport is a proud leader on a stunningly successful Southcoast Panthers' U14 girls hockey team.
"They've improved a lot the past few years, and now we're really starting to work well together," said Fellows. "There weren't as many kids (in 2010) as we have now. We only had one team."
And, without a league membership, the fledgling squad couldn't schedule games, couldn't sustain improvement and couldn't grow.
While Mauretti was creating local girls hockey as the grass-roots level, 14 miles down I-195 in New Bedford, Hetland Youth Hockey was going through a complete overhaul, and the revamped Southcoast Panthers had already turned the corner in 2011 with a significant program expansion. Their Learn to Skate and Learn to Play Hockey programs were bringing membership back up, and a growing number of competitive boys teams were faring well in the Cape Cod-based league.
This year, Hetland's success and growth appeal to a wider range of boys and girls, which set the table for the renaming of the organization and new membership in the South Shore Conference, a league that delivers each age group a full schedule of high-end opponents. Along with full-scale boys membership, the Panthers entered two competitive girls teams — U12 and U14.
"Because we've got such a great schedule with this program, we've gotten back girls that left Hetland when they were younger," said Mauretti, who serves as program director for Panthers girls hockey and coaches the U14 team. "Even now they're doing very well."
The Panther U14s are in first place in the B division, and the team includes two U12 players. This would be no big deal had the competition not been in place for a long time.
"I was shocked when I saw them — they were so good and they were only like playing for one or two years," said Luth, inspired to play hockey by the movies Jack Frost and Mighty Ducks II. "It's a lot faster game now, because Mighty Ducks is kind of slow, but (actually playing) is really fast."
Even for a girl who estimates she started skating at age 3-4 and took up hockey at 4-5.
"We're playing teams that are very well established," said Mauretti. "Many weren't even aware that Southcoast Panthers had a girls team. We potentially could have three to four girls teams next season."
The hyper-hostile atmosphere girls face in boys hockey has given way to a game-focused activity that has reinvigorated girls who enjoy playing. At the same time, Panthers girls hockey has given area families a home rink, the first viable youth-hockey option between Cape Cod and Rhode Island.
"I like it, it's really good for this town," said Maida Hoefel, a 13-year-old at Dartmouth Middle School who is on the ice six days a week.
She maintains her spot as a forward with the Canton-based Boston Terriers, but has left the Bridgewater Bandits to play defense with the U14 Panthers. Girls hockey brought her back to Hetland, where she had last skated at age 8.
"I started when I was really little so it's just become part of my daily life. I don't know what I'd really do without it," said Hoefel, whose younger sister Molly plays on the Panthers' U12 squad.
The U12 squad has seen even greater success in its first season.
"The group of girls we have are great kids, they get along," said U12 coach Mike Frost. "Our girls just jelled from day one, they're very coachable."
U12 girls hockey has three divisions in in South Shore Conference: A1, B1 and B2. After Hetland's U12 team started 7-1 at the B2 level, the Panthers were promoted to B1 where they went 2-0-2 in their first four.
"The surprising thing at this age level — my girls are anywhere from 9 to 12 — is how much they care about winning, losing, playing together, doing the right thing," said Frost. "They take it pretty seriously for girls that age. They're feisty — in a very good way."
He was impressed by how his team hung in against top-division competition in a recent tournament and even more so when he saw his players in the locker room reviewing strategy on the grease board. He credits the camaraderie of an all-girls team for their rapid progress.
"Now they have that. Girls never had that before, and it helps them grow as a team," he said. "At 10, 11, 12, that's pretty impressive."
As the U12 division develops players for the U14s, the U14s will produce talent for high schools, be it the new program at Bishop Stang, the gold-standard program at Tabor Academy or a boys team.
In any direction, the potential is enormous, and none of it would be realized to this point had players like Fellows not been in on the ground floor when Mauretti answered the call for all-girls hockey in Fall River.
"She really helped bring our team up and carry us. We were really scrapping and we had just started," said Mauretti. "She's been very supportive of the girls program. She's a role model for the girls."
Fellows, whose freshman-forward brother Sam attends Bishop Connolly High School and plays for Apponequet via the schools' co-op program, also plays with Luth on the Boston Bandits U14 team out of Bridgewater Ice Arena.
"She brings me and I bring her sometimes," said Luth.
The Panthers' top players are playing more hockey than Hetland can throw at them, but this year being a girl in the Southcoast Panthers program means girls hockey per se and home games at Hetland, two things that were a foreign language until now.

Nova Swords
Involving the containment and concentration of star matter in a melee weapon makes the Nova Sword is a very powerful weapon. The SuperJews are the original inventors of this weapon and therefore at the cutting edge (haha) of all Nova Sword Industry.
Further Development
The Zenith of this tech is a mindbogglingly rare Flaming OT Nova Sword called The Pulsar. The Immortals had been secretly helping with Nova Sword R+D and with the aid of their Blackhole Technologies and early experimentation in the new (to the Immortals) Brikverse Tech Orange Transparent ABS they combined the OT-ABS with a Star before collapsing it to a flaming core and containing it in a weapon. The Pulsar. There are only two Pulsars existence, one rests in the hands of the MasterJew and the other was gifted to the Immortal Emperor when the SuperJews agreed to an alliance.
The Time Travelling Super Jews are aware that various other races have begun to copy this tech but research has shown that these copies are inferior and prone to core instability and being brittle in extreme combat. Entire worlds have subsequently been lost as the result of an unstable Nova Sword breaking and other Empires have found themselves bankrupt after expending all available resources in the making of this extremely expensive weapon.
Game Statistics
Nova Sword: Range: 1" Use: 3, #Shots: 1 + defence, Damage: 3D6, Special: May absorb any and all ranged or melee attack made against this mini-fig on a 4+
The Pulsar: Range: 2" melee 6" ranged Use: 3, #Shots: 2 + Defence, Damage: Melee 3D10 or ranged attack. 3D6 plasma damage 1st turn and 2D6 flame damage 2nd turn, Special: May absorb any and all ranged or melee attack made against this mini-fig on a 4+.

I remember the stories -- L.A. chefs renting fast cars and and doing a Michelin three-star restaurant blitz through France. Ten restaurants in five days. Wallowing in foie gras, truffles, baby lamb, Brittany lobsters and newborn vegetables. Not to mention the phenomenal wines that the merry bunch put away at considerable expense. It was indulgence and luxe all the way. Posh country hotels and on occasion the Ritz.
That kind of trip is definitely not the modus operandi of the current crop of younger chefs. Most are incredibly busy, constantly multi-tasking as they balance the demands of two or more restaurants, new projects in the works, appearances at food and wine festivals, and on television cooking shows. And then there's writing cookbooks and creating new menus.
All that doesn't leave much time for travel, but when they do have the chance to get away, even for a few days, they savor the experience all the more because they're so hungry for it.
Some, like Casey Lane of the Tasting Kitchen, Roy Choi of A-Frame and Micah Wexler of Mezze, just want to chill, lazing by the beach (one with great seafood) or going fishing for striped bass off Cape Cod. Others, namely Josef Centeno, turn any vacation into a giant research trip, making even those Michelin trenchermen of yore look like mingy eaters. He claims to eat six meals a day when he's traveling. "I want to taste everything."
Ricardo Zarate is intent on exploring every nook and cranny of Peru and bringing back the dishes and ingredients he finds in the Andes or the Amazon. His mission? Introducing America to Peru and its cuisine and astonishing biodiversity. Can you believe they have 3,000 kinds of potatoes?
Kris Yenbamroong of Night Market favors funky little places where you get just a few specialities, maybe served up on a counter at the front of a little dry goods store similar to what he's familiar with in northern Thailand. A meandering road trip recently took him across the U.S. with stops in Nashville and Memphis.
Evan Funke is a road trip aficionado, too, just back from zigzagging all over Spain, including Santiago de Compestela where he enjoyed baby cockles steamed with an espresso wand, and the Basque countryside for an astonishing meal at Asador Etxevarri.
Santos Uy arrived in Paris with no reservations and no plans and managed to talk his way into booked-up bistros.
Michael Voltaggio looks to the Twittersphere for tips on where to eat in a new city. But all this technology has its disadvantages, he says. Because you know everything before you go, you have less sense of discovery.
Among the chefs I talked to, there's a surprising consensus on where they want to go next — Mexico and San Sebastian in the Spanish Basque country figured on most wish lists. Peru and Southeast Asia, too. France? Much less. Only one chef had Marseille on his list.
One thing's for sure, none of them are making pilgrimages to every three-star restaurant along their route. These chefs love to mix it up -- dining one night at a cutting-edge temple of molecular gastronomy, the next at a modest cafe with simple regional cooking and a grandma in the kitchen.
Casey Lane
Tasting Kitchen, Parish
Isla Mujeres, Mexico
Mexico is close by and answers his requirements for beautiful beaches and spectacular seafood. His most recent getaway was Isla Mujeres off the coast of Cancun, because it was affordable and beautiful. "The food there blew us away. That far south, you start getting South American influences. The seafood from Caribbean waters tasted so sweet and pure." Once he started talking to the fishermen and found out everything is fished within a 4-mile perimeter, he didn't hesitate. As long as he has "a beach, a good margarita and some amazing seafood, it feels like you're at the heart of what's good and true."
Micah Wexler
Cape Cod
Wexler likes to spend four or five days every year or so with college buddies in Cape Cod. Each trip they seek out the same boat captain and catch as much wild striped bass as they can eat. And then they spend the next few days cooking it every possible way. "We start with crudo, then move through the different parts of the fish — livers, cheeks, head and so on. It's all about relaxation. Everybody knows how to cook pretty well. We'll hit a few farmstands, grab corn, tomatoes, peas and whatever happens to be around."
Santos Uy
Uy landed without having made any plans or done much research. Too busy. Instead, he checked former Mozza sommelier Aaron Ayscough's blog "Not Drinking Poison in Paris" for addresses of wine bars and bistros. What he hadn't figured is that these sometimes require a reservation two months in advance. So he scoped out which bistro or wine bar was near his sightseeing destination for that day, wandered by around 6 or whenever they opened and asked what the chances were of getting in that night. They could usually fit him in at the bar. What surprised him on the trip? "The price/quality and the number of places that were very, very good. These are small places, but they're basically using Michelin-starred restaurant techniques, making stocks from scratch, cooking vegetables perfectly. And you could get a three-course meal for 30 euros."
Kris Yenbamroong
Night + Market
Cross-country USA
Before taking a road trip from New York to L.A. with his girlfriend, Yenbamroong asked around (mostly foodies and friends who come into Night + Market) for authentic traditional places along the route. Some of the finds? Payne's Bar-B-Que in Memphis, which he describes as a revelation. "Totally run down, with a leaky ceiling" but "great pork sandwiches, beans, ribs, really good slaw — and grandma still in the kitchen." In Nashville, he hit Loveless Cafe, something of a tourist destination but with the best fried chicken he's had outside of Thailand, plus decadent mac 'n' cheese and fried catfish. "I'm big on very so-called simple food done well -- fried chicken, pork sandwiches, pastrami."
Ricardo Zarate
Picca and Mo-Chica
Zarate has been going back to Peru every few months on research and exploration trips. He grew up outside Lima, so he knows that scene. His passion now is traveling in the Andes, searching out small villages, indigenous ingredients and dishes. "This time in Cuzco, I went to this little market that had 38 kinds of potatoes! Crazy!" He goes to the Amazon too, where there's "this amazing fish," the paiche, which he's now serving at Mo-Chica. He's got a farmer north of Los Angeles growing the native yellow chile aji amarillo. The first crop is coming in soon. Now that he has the momentum, Zarate has made it his mission to introduce Peru and its cuisine to America and the world by bringing back products, tastes and dishes that he's found in exploring the far reaches of the country.
Josef Centeno
Baco Mercat
San Antonio
Centeno says he must have hit 25 restaurants in 2 1/2 days. The only way he could do it was to take family members with him in shifts to do the heavy eating. He had to go to the two rival places serving "puffy tacos" (fresh corn masa deep-fried and folded and then filled), Ray's Drive Inn and Henry's Puffy Tacos. "I had as many different types of menudo as I could, also cabrito [baby goat], which is something I grew up with. And breakfast tacos. They're amazing, made with warm fresh-made flour tortillas with carne guisada [meat braised in tomato and onion]," he explains. All research for Bar Ama, which he's opening soon downtown. At the end, he says, "everybody was happy for me to leave because they didn't want to eat anymore."
Evan Funke
The former Rustic Canyon chef who will be opening his own place in the old Beacon space at the end of the year, just came back from a 21-day road trip to Spain that covered 2,500 miles. One of the highlights: Asador Etxevarri in the Basque countryside. That was "mindboggling and beautiful, so simple and beautifully presented." Along the way, he mostly ate country fare. "I went out of my way to find small family-run eateries and found some amazing places." He also appreciated the stark contrast between the molecular gastronomy of Michelin-starred Arzak in San Sebastian and a cafe in Santiago di Compostela in Galicia where "an 80-year-old woman just stuck the espresso wand into the cockles and steamed them in their own sea water, dumped them in a bowl and squeezed lemon over them."
Michael Voltaggio
Ink and Inksack
Mumbai and Copenhagen
Voltaggio hasn't had much time to travel lately. He did go to Copenhagen for the MAD symposium organized by Rene Redzepi of Noma. "It's funny being halfway across the planet and bumping into the same guys I'd bump into in L.A." When he hits a strange town, he usually goes to Twitter for recommendations. "Because of technology, you don't really have to travel as much or don't have to put as much work into researching. But in a way, "the adventure is taken out of travel because you can Google up an image of a place and almost go there before you've been there." Same thing with restaurants. "You can eat in a restaurant virtually before you ever go there by going online. You don't really discover as much as you maybe would have in the past."
Roy Choi
Kogi, A-Frame, Chego and Sunny Spot
"It's one of the most important places in my life, truly a place for me to refill my well and reset my whole perspective." In Hawaii, "everything that works for me on the mainland doesn't work here. In my restaurants, I'm always the boss, the one making the decisions, and what I love about Hawaii is that I'm not in control. The island forces me to work another muscle, another part of my soul. No one is in a rush, and by not being in a rush, I'm able to see a whole other way of being and connect to the magic of life." He usually goes to the west side of Oahu, which he describes as very country. "It's not cerebral cooking. I like to let go and not think about it so much and just eat."

His ideas seem to be extraordinarily popular, and he has quite a following, so my article has caused a bit of a stir. But to a lot of people, I get the feeling it looks like I'm just being horrid. Why else would someone pull another person to pieces? It's not very nice.
And it might look a bit horrid to people who've never heard of him too. Why is Bob spending so much time pulling someone to pieces? Why doesn't he write about birds and stars like the good old days?
Anyway, aren't people entitled to hold differing views? Doesn't the human race already spend far too much time putting each other down?
I was thinking about this the other day and I came up with a little story.
Imagine you grew up speaking fluent Mandarin, as well as English. And you'd spent a lot of time in China, living among people in many different parts of the country.
One day, probably somewhere in the US of A, you come across someone giving public lectures on how to understand Mandarin. Lots of people are interested, it seems, because Mandarin is still quite alien to most people in English-speaking countries, yet it's a language that may prove increasingly valuable to learn for the future. You're curious, so you take a look.
What you see is someone making stereotypical Chinese-sounding noises. He utters words that sound vaguely Chinese, and explains what he thinks they mean. He tells his audience that he's studied this language for many many years, and has learned things that most teachers of Mandarin would never even realise. You do recognise some of his words, but they're not put together in a way that makes much sense to you.
You ask his students, who proudly tell you that this is the true Mandarin, and that what they teach in language schools is flawed. When you take issue with this, they insist that obviously that's because you're only able to see what you've been taught, and you've never thought outside of this box, and if you could see the bigger picture then you'd understand what he was saying and what a revolutionary understanding of the language it was. And the reason no other teachers of Mandarin teach this way is because of a massive conspiracy to put down creativity and keep the language in the control of the elite. Or something like that.
Anyway, who are you to tell people how they should speak Mandarin?
He has thousands of followers, and they all happily believe this is the true Mandarin. What do you do?
I guess most people in this situation would decide, after perhaps a little time trying to argue, that what we have here is a bunch of nutters, and walk away. And I probably would too, because, well, what can you do? If they're so keen on believing that this is the true Mandarin, then let them.
It was a little like this for me to find Nassim Haramein claiming he's speaking from years of cutting-edge physics research. The language of physics and mathematics and reasoning is one that I grew up with and use regularly, and I know enough of it to recognise clearly when someone is blagging it.
Science and mathematics is much more like a language than art or music. Learning it is first of all an attempt to get things right – you're trying to get at the way things are, using reason and evidence. Once you're fluent, you can be wonderfully creative with it, but first of all you have to learn to make some sense of the process of rational investigation. Otherwise, no matter how impressive it might sound to some people, you're being as transparently meaningless and ridiculous as the guy who claims that his Mandarin is more true than the one spoken in China.
* * *
I thought I'd devote some time to 'refuting' Haramein because it's clear that there are a good number of people who are curious about him and want to know more, and there's surprisingly little on the web that points out clearly why he's a fake.
I can understand why there's so little on the web analysing him critically and objectively. Firstly, he may have a huge internet presence but he's hardly a household name. Secondly, it's not especially enjoyable to listen to someone when you know they're talking rubbish – it does feel like an awful waste of time. Thirdly, efforts to communicate with his followers isn't entirely pleasurable either. And fourthly, you can end up looking like a proper spoil-sport, taking the side of run-of-the-mill pernickety correctness against the forces of liberated thinking.
Not everyone is a big fan of excessive rationality, but when most of us turn to newspapers, politicians or scientists, we don't appreciate being led up the garden path. However lovely someone might seem, if you can see that they're gathering a following and making money by misleading people, then you do start to feel for the people who are taken in by it.
Of course, we could always view him as a spiritual guide instead of a scientist, as some clearly do – so long as we don't mind our spirituality being served up with delusion, prejudice and an inflated sense of its own importance. (Some would argue that we have a long history of not minding this.)
That's a personal choice. I just wanted to put the information out, so there it is. I've tried not to be unpleasant with it, and to be as objective as I can.
I'm not especially bothered about physics. What I'm bothered about really is the process of searching for truth. (I certainly don't confine this search to physics.) Integral to the search for truth, it seems to me, is the willingness to ruthlessly cast out whatever is obviously false, and then to gleefully jump up and down on its head if it tries to show its face again.
So, well, maybe that means I do enjoy being a little bit horrid sometimes. I'll leave that for you to decide.
You can see my article at http://bit.ly/haramein
(though you might not find it very interesting unless you happen to know who he is, or have a particular curiosity for people who like to pretend to be physicists).
* * *In the process of trying to get my head around all this stuff, so that I can argue with people on YouTube and things like that, I've come across some great places to sharpen your understanding of real physics on the web. (I have genuinely been trying to find ways to remain open to everything I've heard Nassim and others say, from all sorts of perspectives... and the more I've tried, the crazier they've looked.)
On YouTube now, not only can you watch the whole of Carl Sagan's Cosmos series, and several programs about the great Richard Feynman, and many other great science documentaries, but if you REALLY want to get to grips with the understanding of reality that modern physics has given us, there's a fabulous selection of lecture series by Stanford University's Leonard Susskind. He's done an entire 15 to 20 hour series on each of Classical Mechanics, Statistical Mechanics, Quantum Entanglements, Quantum Mechanics, Special Relativity, Quantum Field Theory, The Standard Model, General Relativity and Cosmology.
I'm working my way through his presentation of General Relativity as we speak, and it's extremely good. I've been scribbling away deriving Christoffel Symbols to my heart's content, and (when told to) even gone so far as to cut things out of cardboard to explore the nature of curved spaces.
A mostly-flat space with a pringularity at the centre
(a negative curvature singularity; thanks to PV for the word)
(a negative curvature singularity; thanks to PV for the word)
As with all physics, though, many of the theories are essentially mathematical in nature, so it's perhaps not for everyone.
(This mathematical nature, oddly enough, isn't because of a massive conspiracy among scientists to keep their ideas out of the reach of those without mathematical training! I've read so much rubbish now, I'm starting to feel obliged to point these things out. It's because using mathematics is the only way to really see that the ideas you read in the popular science books actually work. If all you do is read the ideas in popular science books, you could easily think they're just ideas, and conclude that the ideas of some nutcase from Hawaii might be just as valid. It simply doesn't work like that. It's unfortunate that the only way you can be convinced of this is if you 'do the math'.)
Anyway, don't let me get started on all that stuff again. Give Leonard Susskind a try if you're feeling adventurous (and patient!). I've learnt a lot in the last few weeks, and in some peculiar way it's all down to our friend Mr Haramein. So there we are.
Feel free to think I'm horrid if it makes you happy. I think I'm lovely. (Come on, I used a picture of everyone's favourite mymble! How lovely is that?)
We can argue about it in the comments if you like.

Nmedia pro-lcd
Configuring a nMedia PRO-LCD for use with Linux
Included here are instructions on using the nMedia Pro-LCD with Linux. It comes with drivers and software for Windows XP and Windows Vista and works quite well with Windows Media Center. It connects to the motherboard through an internal USB header.
The display is a 2-line, 20-character VFD display, which connects internally to several nMedia cases (HTPC 280/288/500, HTPC 1000/2000/5000/6000). There is also a version of the display, the PRO-LCD-S and PRO-LCD-B which connects to a 5.25" drive bay. It is not known if these 5.25" versions will function with the instructions provided on this page.
There is very little information about how to connect it up in Linux; and some information even claims that these devices are not Linux compatible. However, this page has been created to provide instructions.
Although there is a working driver for this device included in LCDproc-0.5.3, mythlcdserver included with MythTV-0.21 does not fully function with it. As a result, users will have to wait until MythTV supports LCDproc-0.5.3 before this LCD display can be utilized to its fullest function.
General Instructions
- Install libftdi-devel
- Install libftdi
- Compile LCDproc-0.5.3 (with the lis driver)
When compiling LCDproc, be sure to enable the lis driver, using:
./configure --enable-libusb --enable-drivers=lis
- Edit the LCDd.conf file
If the driver has compiled without any issues, you should see 'lis' in the list of supported drivers. Edit Driver entry of the LCDd.conf file to read lis.
# The following drivers are supported: # bayrad, CFontz, CFontz633, CFontzPacket, curses, CwLnx, ea65, # EyeboxOne, g15, glcdlib, glk, hd44780, icp_a106, imon, imonlcd, IOWarrior, # irman, joy, lb216, lcdm001, lcterm, lirc, lis, MD8800, ms6931, mtc_s16209x, # MtxOrb, mx5000, NoritakeVFD, picolcd, pyramid, sed1330, sed1520, serialPOS, # serialVFD, shuttleVFD, sli, stv5730, svga, t6963, text, tyan, ula200, # xosd Driver=lis
Distribution-specific notes for CentOS 5.2
Precompiled .rpm packages for libftdi CentOS 5.2 were not easily found. However, one can use the packages for Fedora Core 8 without any issues. They can be found at:
[1] libftdi-0.14-2.fc8.x86_64.rpm
[2] libftdi-devel-0.14-2.fc8.x86_64.rpm
- Visit LCDproc to learn how to setup the startup scripts for LCDd.
- Visit Mythlcdserver to learn how to configure MythTV to make use of the display.

Style # 216750
Ebony Strappy Evening Sandals is rated out of 5 by 1.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Cher1219 from Pretty shoe but not for walking I ordered this shoe for a vacation trip and they arrived the very day that I was leaving. This is a very pretty shoe so I got dressed and left home for a function feeling gorgeous. Within moments, I recognized that I had made a bad decision with this shoe. It's NOT made for walking. The frame is very narrow and the zipper is difficult to manuever. The buckle actually dislocated from the shoe after several attempts to close the zip therefore I can't begin to tell you how difficult it was to get the shoe off my foot.

Statewide business groups in opposition to Jersey City's mandatory paid sick leave legislation have long said its regulatory nature will ultimately hurt small business.
But that notion's lost on Steven Kalcanides, owner of Helen's Pizza, on Newark Avenue, where mayor Steven Fulop signed the bill this morning. Kalcanides said he doesn't think the new ordinance will be crippling to small businesses.
"I don't see it as being the straw that breaks the camel's back on a business," Kalcanides said.
The new law is just an affirmation of how things should already be done, Kalcanides says.
"My business is like my family," Kalcanides said. "Everybody that works for me is like family."
Under the measure, employees will earn one hour of paid sick time for every 30 hours worked, with a cap at 40 hours per year. Workers can begin earning sick time upon their hiring, but must work for 90 days before being able to use it. Employers will not be required to pay for any unused sick time.
Kalcanides said he's seen from his own experience of offering employees paid compensation time that he's been able to effectively retain employees. Many of his workers have been with him for five years or more, he said.
"As far as I know, it's been working for me," he said.
With today's signing, Jersey City becomes the first city in the state to do so, and joins the ranks of several cities nationwide that have enacted similar ordinances, such as San Francisco, Seattle and Portland.
Fulop today reiterated how he felt the legislation was a matter of human dignity, noting that it was "the right thing to do." He said that the new law will serve to bridge the gap between the city's various communities.
"I really view this legislation as an important step in that direction," Fulop said.
The hope, Fulop says, is that Trenton — and eventually, Washington — will take notice. Jersey City, he added, "is a model in a lot of ways for what's possible in the state of New Jersey."
Council President Rolando Lavarro echoed Fulop's intentions.
"Hopefully with this bill signing today, it reverberates in the halls of Trenton," Lavarro said.
In a letter addressed to Fulop last month, the New Jersey Business and Industry Association criticized the move, urging the mayor to study the possible effects before passing it.
"While we understand the desire to help workers, we feel that this ordinance will have a negative impact on both large and small employers," Stefanie Riehl, an NJBIA assistant vice president, wrote last month. "Given the potential for unintended consequences, we suggest that a comprehensive study be undertaken prior to implementation (as opposed to one year following implementation). Otherwise, we believe the proposal could compromise the economic engine that Jersey City has become and hurt the very people it intends to help."
Business groups also are preparing themselves to battle a similar measure at the state level, introduced in the Assembly last spring by Pamela Lampitt (D-Voorhees).
Gordon MacInnes, president of liberal think tank New Jersey Policy Perspective, called today's signing a "huge first step" for New Jersey.
"We applaud Mayor Fulop for signing this ordinance into law and for pushing this crucial issue to the forefront in New Jersey," MacInnes said in a statement. "We urge state legislators to follow the mayor's lead and pass a statewide earned sick days bill so all of the 1.2 million New Jerseyans who lack this benefit no longer have to choose between getting paid and getting well."

WASHINGTON, June 28 (UPI) -- France is seeking to procure MQ-9 Reaper remotely piloted aircraft from the United States in a package deal worth an estimated $1.5 billion.
News of the proposed sale, reported to Congress by the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency, closely follows word from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc., maker of the Predator B unmanned aerial vehicle that it planned to develop a variant of the aircraft that would meet NATO and general European civil airworthiness requirements
The MQ-9 Reaper is another name for the Predator B, a hunter/killer unmanned aerial vehicle designed for long-endurance, high-altitude surveillance. Intelligence and reconnaissance missions by the U.S. Air force. It has a maximum speed of 300 mph, a service ceiling of 50,000 feet, an operational ceiling of 25,000 feet and an endurance of 14 hours when fully loaded.
U.S. allies using the aircraft are Britain and Italy.
'Predator B is the most cost-effective and best-valued RPA in its class and continues to draw significant interest from our NATO allies," Neal Blue, chairman and chief executive officer of GA-ASI, had said in announcing the effort. "It is imperative that we ensure airworthiness certification of Predator B both at home and abroad as coalition forces withdraw from Afghanistan and nations transition mission focus to protection of the homeland and other civil uses."
The BQ-9 Reaper package requested by France includes 16 aircraft, eight mobile ground control stations, 48 Honeywell TPE331-10T turboprop engines, 24 satellite Earth terminal sub-stations, 40 Ku band link-airborne communication systems, 40 General Atomics Lynx (exportable) synthetic aperture radar/ground moving target indicator systems, 40 AN/DAS-1 multispectral targeting systems, and 40 ground data terminals.
Other elements of the Foreign Military Sales contract, if approved by Congress, are radio systems, global positioning/inertial navigation systems, spare and repair parts, test, and support equipment, publications and technical documentation, and airworthiness and maintenance support.
A representative from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. would be required to make multiple trips to France to provide initial launch, recovery and maintenance support.
"France requests these capabilities to provide for the defense of its deployed troops, regional security and interoperability with the U.S," DSCA said. "The proposed sale will improve France's capability to meet current and future threats by providing improved ISR coverage that promotes increased battlefield situational awareness, anticipates enemy intent, augments combat search and rescue, and provides ground troop support."
In other developments, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency said it has received contract requests from Finland and Qatar.
Finland is seeking an FMS of follow-on equipment and support for its mid-life upgrade of F-18 aircraft.
The estimated value of the contract would be $170 million.
The FMS covers F-18C/D fleet retrofit kits of the following systems: KIV-78 Mode 5 identification friend or foe systems, AN/APX-11-30 combined interrogator/transponders, multifunctional information distribution systems and SUU-63 pylons.
"The Finnish air force ... needs this upgrade to keep pace with technology advances in sensors, weaponry, and communications," the U.S. agency said.
Principle contractor would be Raytheon.
Qatar, meanwhile, has requested two F117-PW-100 spare engines, other parts and logistical support for its C-17 Globemaster airlifters. The value of the contract is $35 million.

Those of you staring at a screen (instead of, say, the inside of your eyelids) at 8:30 a.m. today should have received a jolt just a bit more powerful than your usual iced coffee — this morning, Dior ran a livestream of its fall '12 couture show, the first Dior collection designed by Raf Simons.
In a space that was covered in floor-to-ceiling flowers, the five-room salon played host to such notorious guests as Marc Jacobs, Stefano Tonchi, and Marion Cotillard, the show itself felt restrained compared to the over-the-top haute couture collections Galliano favored.
In his signature pastel/acid-bright, ladylike/masculine, soft/structured mix, Raf showed plenty of Dior stapes (full skirts, lovely beading, and rich florals), but boiled down and brought up to speed — if the haute couture shows represent the best of what a fashion house has to offer, Raf Simons is definitely presenting an impressive and mature vision for the brand. And just in case you missed it, the full video of the show will be posted shortly on Dior.com. (Grazia)

Good news from Dynamo camp on Friday as forward Will Bruin, who missed last week's match against the Portland Timbers, returned to training and told MLSsoccer.com reporter Darrell Lovell that he hopes to suit up on Sunday when the Dynamo host the Chicago Fire. Another good sign for Bruin is that he was not listed on Friday's injury report, presented by The Methodist Center for Sports Medicine.
The only players on this week's injury report were Calen Carr, who is out with a left knee injury, and Boniek Garcia, who is listed as questionable with left Achilles tendonitis. The Honduran winger missed last week's game against Portland with the same injury.
If Garcia can't go on Sunday, it will be interesting to see who Dominic Kinnear opts to start in his stead. He could go with Scottish winger Andrew Driver, who started last week's match against Portland, or with second-year utility man Warren Creavalle, who played the position against the Vancouver Whitecaps on March 23.
Sunday's match against the Chicago Fire kicks off at 4 p.m. at BBVA Compass Stadium. Tickets are still available and can be purchased here or by calling (713) 276-GOAL.

Katy Read wrote a cautionary essay on Salon.com recently, sharing how her years at home with her two sons left her full of wonderful memories but short on experience for her resume. Now she's a divorced single mom on the brink of financial ruin, trying unsuccessfully to find a job in a terribly economy. She fears, with college tuition looming, that she will never work again.
She writes of her mindset at the time she decided to opt out:
I became a mother during a moment in history when women faced unprecedented career opportunities yet were expected to maintain a level of interaction with their children that would have made my own mother's eyes roll practically out of their sockets. I was a busy reporter and naive new mom, two jobs that I was led to believe could not, for all practical purposes, be performed adequately and simultaneously. Oh, and while one was commendable, the other was morally imperative.
So she scaled back to a part-time freelance career as a writer while her then-husband continued on an upward trajectory in the same field. Now she cannot cover her expenses, much less retirement or college education.
What a "choice": hands-on parenting 24-7 in the early years or financial stability in the later ones. Sometimes it seems like stay-at-home moms and mom who work out of the home are just dealing with different sides of the same coin. Pick your poison: live with unrelenting guilt about not being there for every boo-boo, or the fear that you'll be left unable to support yourself later. Either way, you might be dropping the ball. And why are the moms generally the only ones who have to make such impossible, unfair decisions?
Stay-at-home moms, do you worry about keeping yourself employable in case of divorce? Or is the experience of staying home with your kids so valuable it's worth the risk?
