I remember glancing at my phone at 1:56 p.m. on Monday, April 15. I was walking in Copley Square with another marathon volunteer, trying to find an entrance to the subway. We had both been stationed at the starting line of the Boston Marathon in Hopkinton, Mass., earlier that morning and had taken a bus back to Boston after our shift was over. I had agreed to babysit for one of my professors at 3 p.m., and I knew it would take me at least a half hour to walk there from Harvard Square, so I began to move a little faster.
However, as we attempted to make our way through the human maze, we stopped momentarily to take in the surroundings. Hundreds of exhilarated runners crossing the finish line, receiving blankets, water and food to begin replenishing their exhausted bodies. Some of them had just finished their first marathon, and some had completed their 20th. We saw kids running to hug their dads, husbands embracing their wives; everyone celebrating one of the greatest physical endeavors of our time.
I finally found the Arlington Street subway entrance, made my way back on the crowded train, and arrived on campus at about 2:30 p.m. I ran back to my room, grabbed a sweatshirt and a bottle of water, and headed back out to make the two-mile trek to my professor's house. On the way, a friend texted me, asking if I was at the finish line yet. Oh no! I thought, I had completely forgotten to tell him I wasn't going to have enough time to stay and watch our friends finish. I quickly replied, apologizing and saying I was back on campus.
"Gunshots," he replied at 2:52 p.m. What? Dismissing it as an iPhone autocorrect, I ignored it for a few minutes while I entered the house, said hello to the morning babysitting, and starting getting a board game out to play with the little boy. I picked up my phone again, vaguely wondering what he had actually meant; I typed a question mark, to which he answered, "Two explosions at the finish line. Have you heard from Heidi?"
That was when my panic mode began. I tried to contact all my friends I knew who were running or watching. I called my professor to let her know I was there and that everything was OK. She had no idea what was going on, but she turned on the radio in her office, and I could hear the blaring sirens over the phone.
For the next two straight hours, I responded to e-mails, Facebook posts, and text messages, all from people checking to make sure I was safe. Parents, grandparents, cousins, bosses, even my Princeton "Hallmark moms." coaches, teachers and a few classmates from high school who said they had immediately thought of me when they heard the news. I even received text messages from numbers I did not recognize. Though it was stressful trying to make sure I replied to each and every one, I cannot explain the gratitude I felt for the outpouring of love and support. People really care.
In a perfect world, there would be no violence, no bombs, no blood. It is unfortunate that it takes a tragedy, but it is times like these that make me truly realize how lucky I am to be surrounded by family and friends who truly care. I have lived here for the greater part of two years, and I am proud to call this city my home. With the outpouring of support from around the world, Boston will bounce back and be stronger for it. Though someone may set off a bomb, stopping the race and killing an 8-year-old boy, there will always be someone who finishes the race, runs to Massachusetts General Hospital, and asks to give blood. We decide when our marathon ends.
I thank all of you back home for your concern, love and support. Please continue to pray for the victims and families affected by these tragic events.

Brazil midfielder Hernanes is hoping that he can seize the chance that Luiz Felipe Scolari has given him in this month's friendlies against Italy and Russia.
The Lazio midfielder has picked up eight caps since making his international debut five years ago, and the versatile Serie A star is hoping to make up for lost time having missed out on the recent England defeat due to injury.
Hernanes told Fifa.com: "To tell you the truth I didn't have time to feel frustrated [when I missed out on the match at Wembley] because I had to think about my health after the accident and undergo lots of tests.
"When I saw that I was fine I started to think about the next call-up. I'm happy because my form's improving with Lazio and because I've achieved my goal of getting back into the Brazil squad.
"The chance has come at a good time in my career and my personal life and I need to make the most of it."
The former Sao Paulo midfielder is looking to stamp his authority on the team to assure Scolari makes note of his efforts and gives him regular appearances in a Selecao shirt in future after a lacklustre number of caps to date.
"It's true I haven't played that many games," Hernanes continued. "There aren't that many matches to get called up for in any case, and unless there's a coach who has faith in your work and picks you, you're not going to get the chance to show your potential.
"It's not easy to play one game one day and then the next a year later. Everyone's got their preferences and I respect that.
"I just hope that Felipao is someone who's going to pick me to play and give me a regular game so I can show what I can do. That's why every detail in training and in matches counts."
Brazil clash with Italy on Thursday night, with a 20:30CET kick-off, before facing Fabio Capello's Russia next week as they continue their friendly run in the build-up to this summer's Confederations Cup and next year's World Cup.

LOWER MANHATTAN — After laboring for weeks to repair her storm-damaged nail salon Stone Nails, Janet Kwak was finally able to reopen the popular, 17-year-old shop Monday.
But few of her regular customers were able to see the lit-up pink neon "Nails" sign, or easily enter her front door, because of the massive generators sending power and heat into her building at 90 Broad St.
"It's hard. People don't know we're open, and they're scared to come on to the block," Kwak said. "But we're also very grateful to have a shop — our neighbors were not so lucky."
In a frustrating conundrum for many downtown businesses struggling to recover from Sandy, the very generators and trailers that are powering up the buildings and allowing businesses to get back up and running are simultaneously blocking neighboring entrances and filling up the streets and stores with toxic diesel fumes, blaring engine sounds, and unwieldy wires and equipment.
Kwak and a neighboring ground-floor convenience store called Victoria Café are blocked off from their customers' view by three massive generators covered in signs that say "Danger: High Voltage," and supply the 24-floor commercial high-rise that takes up nearly a block.
They're one piece of an obstacle course that downtown has become, where construction containers and trailers with huge white tubes line Stone Street between Whitehall and Broad streets, and traffic cones and orange construction netting block off streets and sidewalks.
Kwak's shop sits in the center of what has officially become a do-not-walk-zone. Only a small opening between generators, mostly trafficked by a stream of construction workers, allows passersby access to her store and the one beside it. Many who scurry past, ears covered, are in too much of a rush to realize the shop is open.
Residents who live or work in the area not only complain about the sound and smell of the generators, also the hazards of just moving around.
"It's like you can't walk anymore," said Lael Wakefield, who works for a trading company in the neighborhood. "It's dangerous. I'm hoping no one gets hurt."
Many of the Financial District's already-narrow streets are now congested with loud generators that smell of diesel fumes. There's also various trailers and huge garbage dumpsters, used by the scores of ruined shops and buildings continue to gut their properties.
"It's been very tough for us," Kwak said, as the generators roared outside her small salon.
She and her husband have worked tirelessly to restore the shop after it was rushed with a couple feet of salty flood water during Sandy.
She's afraid her store — usually crowded with customers — will continue to lose business as she's hidden behind the mass of huge machines working to keep her newly re-opened building functioning.
And those generators and trailers are likely to stay for at least two months, she said.
A building manager was not immediately available for comment.
All around Kwak, the slow, uneven recovery of Sandy is apparent. Some buildings are largely functioning as business as usual — despite the smell of diesel fumes and loud whirr of generators, while other shops are completely shuttered.
On Monday, Kwak made at least a few regular customers happy.
"I'd walk by and just hope she was open," said Cathy Bailey, who lives on nearby Williams Street.
Bailey's building, which was without heat and power for two weeks, is also up and running again.
"This place is the just the best," Bailey added. "I haven't gotten my nails done in ages — this just returns a bit of normalcy to your life in all this chaos, you know?"

Protein-losing enteropathy is an abnormal loss of protein from the digestive tract or the inability of the digestive tract to absorb proteins.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
There are many causes of protein-losing enteropathy. Any condition that causes serious inflammation in the intestines can lead to protein loss. Some of the more common causes are:
- Bacteria or parasite infection of the intestines
Celiac sprue Crohns disease
- HIV infection
- Lymphoma
Symptoms can include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal pain. Symptoms depend on the underlying disease that is causing the protein-losing enteropathy.
Signs and tests
Imaging tests may be done to see if there is a problem in the intestinal tract. This may include an CT scan of the abdomen or an upper GI bowel series.
Other tests that may be done include:
- Colonoscopy
- Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD)
- Small intestine biopsy
The health care provider will treat the condition that caused protein-losing enteropathy.

Ethnicity/Nationality: Filipino/Chinese/Irish
Where are you from? And, are you currently living there? If not, where are you currently living?
I am currently residing in the beautiful city of Seattle, Washington.
Does your personality match your Zodiac sign? Describe.
I believe my personality matches my Zodiac sign; a Leo. They say that Leo's are very loyal, supportive, confident, and generous. I would have to agree with all of these. When it comes down to friends and family, I am the most loyal friend a person could have. When someone is struggling, I support them and do whatever I can to help. I am confident in any skills that I possess and I believe I can make it to the top if I just believe in myself.
What would you say are your strengths as a model?
In my opinion, one of my strengths as a model is my smile. Everyone tells me I have a smile that could brighten up anyone's day!
What is your best beauty secret?
You don't need to buy really expensive makeup to look good! My everyday makeup routines are all brands from any drugstore!
Where can we see you?
I attend small car events up in Washington. I attened NOS Forum Fest this year in Kent. I also have a few shows coming up. There have been a few websites I have been featured on as well:
What are your future plans (long term goals)?
I'm hoping to be able to be seen in magazines along with all the great import models, such as Dannie Riel and Levy Tran!
Do you drink? If so, what do you drink? If not, why do you not drink?
I drink occasionally. And when I do it's usually dark drinks like Crown Royal, Hennessy, or Jack Daniels. I also love all the girly drinks like Mike's Hard, and Smirnoff Ice.

I love Olive Garden. Pasta would probably have to be one of my favorite foods. I also love Pho. So anywhere with good pho would be my favorite place to eat.
What do you do on your spare time?
In my spare time I like to sing, dance, or play video games! That's right, I'm a gamer!
How do you keep in such excellent shape? Explain your daily/exercise routine.
Honestly, I don't do a single thing to keep in shape. I can eat all I want, and I don't gain any weight. I guess it's just in my family genes.
Are you big on first impressions? What do you first notice on a man?
I am huge on first impressions. The first thing I notice on a man would have to be their smile. I want to be able to look at a smile that would make me smile!
What's on your travel itinerary? Are you planning to go to any events in the future and/or vacation with your family, friends or 'significant other'?
Well I have a few upcoming shows to go to up here in Washington. I am planning on going to Desirable on the 22nd, and then inMotion Indoor Car Show & Drift event on September 29th. As for a vacation, I am going to Disneyworld in Florida with a special someone in January!
How would you like your boyfriend to propose to you?
It really doesn't have to be all that big. It would be nice! But maybe a walk on the beach at night, with fireworks lighting off. A proposal in that kind of environment would be wonderful.
Marriage song? What song would you like played on your wedding night? Why?
Hmm.. that's a tough one! I'm actually not really sure on this one. Maybe me and my future husband can decide on it together in the future.
Any shout-outs or last words?
I would like to give a shout out to my brother/photographer, Mike De Castillo. My photographer Neoracer, and all the websites that have featured me! And of course to all of my fans continuously supporting me. Wouldn't have gotten this far without you guys!

The Force Is Strong With This DIY Cable Organizing Solution
Ideally, you've got some way to hide your cables and power strip/surge protector away from view (but in an easy to reach location). But what if hiding them away isn't an option? My current favorite affordable solution is available at IKEA, but this Star Wars inspired design is arguably even better, depending whether the Force is strong within you...
The DIY AT-AT is constructed in likeness of the Star Wars AT-AT, It's a geeks solution to keeping cables and wires organized at home or in the office. It's made from high grade [basswood] plywood and it comes flat-packed. Nuts and screws are all included. It can also be painted to the color of your choice!
The set comes flat packed like IKEA furniture and requires a bit of DIY assembly with a small hammer and screwdriver (with sandpaper, screws and butterfly nuts included). Best price we've found is $40.00 over at Copious.com, but we could also imagine the industrious DIY type making their own.

DailyDirt: Antibiotic Abuse In The Food Industry
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- Researchers have found 149 different drug-resistant genes in bacteria on antibiotic-intensive pig farms in China. These antibiotic-resistant genes can spread to the environment and end up in many different kinds of human pathogens. [url]
- Did you know that organic apple and pear orchards are treated with tetracycline to prevent a disease called fire blight? While this may be surprising, tetracycline has actually been allowed for use in organic farming in the U.S. since the mid-'90s (with the understanding that their use would eventually be phased out). Fire blight has already become resistant to streptomycin -- how long will it be before tetracycline stops working, too? [url]
- If you use logic "borrowed from the anti-GMO crowd," you could argue that antibiotic abuse in the meat industry causes autism and diabetes... because both antibiotic use and the number of autistic children and diabetics have been increasing over the years. Right? Right?? [url]

Michigan's Public Employment Relations Act: Public-Sector Labor Law and Its Consequences
Download PDF of this Policy Brief
Executive Summary
The Michigan Public Employment Relations Act, which governs collective bargaining between local governments and their employees, is simultaneously among the most important and least-discussed laws ever passed by the Michigan Legislature. Because the work of public employees is the work of government, PERA affects nearly every aspect of local government operations.
PERA was based on the National Labor Relations Act, a law that was designed for private, for-profit employers. The NLRA has not always worked well in the private sector; applying the structure of the NLRA to government has created even more complications:
- The incentives created by PERA tend to push local officials toward tax increases rather than spending cuts.
- Unless local officials are prepared for a bargaining impasse, unions have an effective veto over any part of a local government's budget dedicated to personnel costs. Personnel costs can make up as much as 80 percent of a local government's budget.
- Work rules found in collective bargaining agreements add to the scope of the "union veto." In practice, government union negotiators can manipulate any political issue that can be expressed in terms of employee compensation, job duties or work standards and be included in a collective bargaining agreement.
- Court rulings have consistently held that collective bargaining trumps local statutes and even local charters. PERA has arguably subverted the home-rule principles expressed in the state constitution.
- With agency fees effectively granting millions of dollars in guaranteed revenue to unions with strong political tendencies and little financial accountability, it would be fair to say that PERA has created a permanent, taxpayer-funded lobby for big government.
The government employee unions created by PERA may be the single largest obstacle to restoring the state's prosperity. Collective bargaining for government employees is not an inalienable right, and its practice in Michigan has added billions of dollars to the cost of government. The repeal or restructuring of PERA could resolve the state's chronic fiscal crisis. PERA is long overdue for a thorough re-examination, leading to the rewriting or repeal of the law.

Presbytera is a Greek title of honor that is used to refer to a priest's wife. It is derived from presbyteros—the Greek word for priest (literally, "elder"). There does not currently seem to be any standard English equivalent, so most English-speaking Orthodox Christians will use the title most common in the old country churches from which their local family or parish finds its origin.
Other languages
Presbytera corresponds to the following equivalent titles:
- Albanian: Prifteresha
- Arabic: Khouria (from the word khoury, meaning "priest")
- Carpatho-Russian: Pani (a shortened form of Panimatka)
- Finnish: Ruustinna (from the word rovasti (protoiereos), in Karelia: Maatuska)
- Romanian: Preoteasa
- Russian: Matushka (literally means "mama," i.e., the intimate form of "mother")
- Serbian: Popadija
- Ukrainian: Panimatka or Panimatushka ("little mama")
- Old Icelandic: "prestkona" ("priest's woman")

The New England Journal of Medicine
A 30-year-old woman with a history of bulimia was trying to demonstrate to her friends that she no longer had a gag reflex -- and then she swallowed the knife she was using to demonstrate.
Playing with a knife is risky, as one young woman learned the hard way.
A 30-year-old woman who suffered from bulimia was showing off for her sister. To prove that she no longer had a gag reflex, she stuck a table knife to the back of her throat and unexpectedly laughed during her demonstration.
The giggles accidentally sent the knife sliding down her throat, and the result was no laughing matter: She swallowed the knife and soon started throwing up blood and having chest pain.
Fortunately for her, she chose a table knife, not the sharpest knife in the drawer -- but even so, it quickly landed her in the emergency room. In a case reported in this week's New England Journal of Medicine, X-rays revealed the knife was stuck in her esophagus and the upper part of her stomach.
She needed a "rigid esophagogastroduodenoscopy" to remove the knife. This medical procedure involves inserting a tube with a camera into the throat and advancing it down to the esophagus.
"This allows the removal of the knife under direct vision using forceps as well as inspecting the GI tract," says Dr. Aida Venado, who, along with Dr. Sarah Prebil, authored the case study and treated the woman when both were internal medicine residents at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta.
Doctors found no immediately visible cuts from the knife in her GI tract. But since these tiny tears may be hard to spot, they did a second test in which they gave the woman a special liquid to drink to see if there were any leaks in her digestive system. None were found.
"The patient was very fortunate to have a good outcome," says Venado. The risks of swallowing a "foreign body" as the knife is referred to in medical circles, include perforating the GI or respiratory tract, injury to major blood vessels, and a serious infection, explains Venado.
"It definitely helped that the object was removed promptly," she says.
But sadly, this wasn't the first time the woman had swallowed a knife. Her husband told doctors that his wife had also swallowed a knife four years earlier, which had required surgery to remove it.
It's unclear what circumstances had brought about the earlier episode, yet she did have a surgical scar in her abdomen as proof of the incident.
After a few days in the hospital following the latest knife swallowing episode, doctors transferred the woman to the inpatient psychiatric unit for help in treating her bulimia.
Dr. Venado says she doesn't see too many patients who have swallowed unusual objects. But more common culprits are meat bones, coins, batteries, and this time of year, wire bristles from grill-cleaning brushes.
Accidentally or intentionally swallowing these foreign objects can be a life-threatening emergency, where careful removal may be needed, Venado suggests.
Although this woman's story turned out OK, it might have been helpful for her to have a normally functioning gag reflex in response to placing a knife down her throat.

- Engineer lived with bullet in his head for 8 decades
- Swallowed pen still works 25 years later

Aoi with her custom transformation sequence = Fuck yes
Pre-docking sequence = Oh, so they are not afraid of showing nudity after all.
Docking sequence + fusion = Now that came out of nowhere but still was overy impressive. And like someone already pointed, the true potential lies in all the other combinations available.
Non fusion combat was also pretty neat, the CG effects blended somewhat well with the normal animation.
OP was pretty nice even if A-1 got a bit lazy with the reused footage. ED is catchy.
And finally, I hope that flower in Rei's neck is the proof of many more Alones and fantastic battles in stock for us.

After watching the second episode I am like WTF? The first episode they go through all the science explanation to make the world appear believable than throw everything out the window in the second episode! Docking? They are merging nothing scientific there it's magic not science.
Why waste so much of the first episode to explain the science than just ignore it all? It's like there was one author that decided the premise than kicked the bucket and another author took over and decided to ignore the entire premise. That is just plain dumb what is the author smoking?
The single girl transformations possibly could be explained scientifically the suits they transform into could be a more advanced form of exoskeleton.. We have silicon clothing that gets hard when hit. So yes a material that enhances our strength and such with a power source could become reality. Even transferring electricity through the air is possible now to a small scale they have done monitors that were powered by the base by up to 3 feet away with no physical connection connecting them.
Teleportation or shape changing metal to form the weapons again semi-believable look at Terminator 2 and Stargate. But becoming a new grown up body from two people.. now that was just taking science and slapping it in the face.
This is taking magic girls in a scifi environment that supposedly are not magic girls.. there is just no practical way to explain merging of two souls and bodies into one and than separating back into two. The author did not know if he/she wanted the world to be science or magic from this second episode. Docking sounded like a more advanced robot form not a merging.
I just can't figure out why they wasted the time to explain the show scientifically only to throw the entire thing out the window.. Should of just started this show with discovery of magic and forgot reality as they blew away any reason for the first episode.

I think what happened to Kenjirou on Episode 1 is a viable explanation to why these things are possible.
We don't know what that Manifestation Engine is made of, nor the energy that it gives off, but I'm sure that
> It has the ability to transport a human consciousness to an inanimate object
> It is the main power source of the Vivid System
And I speculate that
> The Alone and the Palette Suits and weapons are made using the same material. By analogy, they are both made of diamond, and only diamond can scratch or cut diamond.
> Rei might actually want to drain away the energy from the Manifestation Engine for some unknown reason, but has limited chances to do so. (I think that the Engine was able to recover the energy it lost throughout the battle.)
molitar: I'm pretty sure the series is not talking about Hard Science. Hard Science dictates that most of the things in this series are impossible.
GenjiChan: Never thought you'd be so disgusted with this series.

I already said why I was disgusted. Not only Foxy Granpa but the MC herself.... she's the ONE.
I apologized to the fans regarding the comment. This is just my opinion and has no value at all nor any critic does....

Pocola looks to end losing streak Friday against Wilburton Diggers
Things have been rough the last two weeks for the Pocola Indians football team, losing 59-0 to Vian and last week 59-14 at home to Hugo. However, injuries have had a big part of that."We're about 90 percent we'll get two of our kids back — Anthony Clopton and Hayden Hindmarsh," Pocola coach Rick Lang said. "With them back on offense and defense, that will make us better. [Quarterback] Johnny [Satterfield] is about 80 percent, but he's got to give it a go. It's a must win for us. Our season is on the line. We have to take them one game at a time, but we've got to make it happen this week."When Satterfield went down in last week's game, everything went downhill from there for the Indians."Playing Vian and Hugo, we knew they were going to be tough games," Lang said. "We played Hugo good for a half, but when we lost our starting quarterback, it was like the lights went out and we got behind. We were going good until he got hurt.If there was a good time to bounce back, it's now for the Indians (1-4 overall, 0-2 in District 2A-6 play) will travel to take on the winless Wilburton Diggers (0-5, 0-1) at 7:30 p.m. Friday.• • •To Get There — Take Oklahoma State Highway 112 south to Poteau. Take U.S. 271 south to Wister. Take U.S. 270 west to Wilburton.

My family and I have been attending the Parade of Lights every since it started here in Cortez. This is absolutely the worse year I have ever seen for the parade as a whole. If there is a person or group that coordinates the parade, they need to re-evaluate their skills at putting the parade in order. The police, fire and ambulance vehicles always start the parade, but did Pleasant View Fire Department really need to hold the parade up by one and a half blocks? Why was the Montezuma-Cortez High School Marching Band placed so close in line to the emergency vehicles that blare their sirens and horns? Then why was there only one float between the band and a large group of motorcycles that were racing their engines? There were numerous gaps in the parade where there was no activity for over a block at a time, which resulted in people getting way out in the street trying to see what was coming next and when.
I was also very disappointed in the Montezuma-Cortez High School band for not wearing their band uniforms in the parade. Do not area residents and businesses do their best to support the band in purchasing uniforms? I would think that they would take more pride in themselves and dress the part; after all, they wear their uniforms in big, fancy parades they are invited to in cities. Do Montezuma County residents deserve the lack of class our band displayed? Also, don't they know Christmas carols? 'Tis the season for playing those jingles, not the school song.
By far, Cortez FFA was the classiest float and I appreciated Kemper and Mesa schools for having nice-looking floats. With the exception of Holgate's Express and the Elvis Blue Christmas, I didn't see too many business floats that were worth watching. I was very sad that hardly any of the area churches put together Christmas floats. Christians complain that Christ is being taken out of Christmas, but where were you all Saturday night when you had a chance to demonstrate the reason for Christmas?
Hope to see a better parade next year. Come on folks, where is our community pride? I for one plan on contacting the powers that be so I can volunteer to help next year. I challenge all you parade watchers and participants to make the 2013 Parade of Lights spectacular.

Most misleading of all is the statement that 49.5 percent of citizens pay no federal income taxes. If you count payroll taxes, then only 18 percent of households pay no direct federal taxes. And don't forget sales tax and other local and state taxes that most people pay.
From the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities: "When all federal, state, and local taxes are taken into account, the bottom fifth of households pays about 16 percent of their incomes in taxes, on average. The second-poorest fifth pays about 21 percent." For contrast, Mitt Romney recently stated that he pays about 13 percent in income taxes.
Another reason some people don't pay income tax is because of the child tax credit and the earned income tax credit, which the Republicans increased in their 2001 tax cut. Most people who don't pay payroll or income taxes are elderly and, for most of them, the social security benefits are non-taxable and many of them no longer work.
And the other households who don't pay direct federal taxes? Almost all make less than $20,000 per year. Over the past 30 years, income growth has been going mostly to the top 10 percent and especially the top 1 percent.
On the other end of the spectrum – adjusted for inflation, average hourly earnings have not increased in 50 years.
As a sound bite and popular talking point, saying that almost 50 percent of households pay no federal income taxes and implying that they are "moochers" sadly seems to work for those wanting to manipulate popular opinion, but it surely doesn't tell the whole story.

Showtime for the Lakers is now 90 minutes before tipoff.
It takes place inside the locker room, Dwight Howard leading a fast break toward frivolity.
The All-Star center notices a television cameraman fixed on his every move at his locker early in the season and bends over to reveal a backside covered only by gray underwear.
"I've got a wide shot for you," he says.
Howard mimics Kobe Bryant's strut and then his own long-range shooting form in late November, flicking his wrist to show how he makes a three-pointer.
"If the game is on the line and you need a three," says a player who has made only two in his NBA career, "you've got to give it to me."

My brother went to Japan last year by way of Korea by himself. First time traveller and all, he seemed to do just fine. My brother doesn't a speak a lick of Japanese and people were super friendly, and even if they didn't speak english they tried their hardest to help him in Tokyo. A few random people on the street went out of their way and took him where he needed to go, or at least in the general area.He wishes he spent a few more days in Japan, but couldn't due to time constraints. Also, he used Air BnB to find an apartment to stay in that was used by an American guy and his Japanese wife (while they were there). Basically he was just renting a room from them for the duration of his stay, and they were also super helpful and really, really nice. He plans on going back and I think he will look at staying with them again.Another big help was the people he was renting from loaned him a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot thing that really helped him out just in terms of being able to access the internet on his phone, and use maps. But, as mentioned above, entering stuff in Japanese doesn't really work so well when you can't read it or translate it too easily into English. But then again, most people are pretty friendly so you shouldn't have too many problems there, but if you have the mobile hotspot and do your research before hand, no real reason to get super lost.Besides, getting lost for a part of the time is part of the fun of travelling haha.
You count the ability to read Hirigana and Katakana as "little knowledge?"
Hiragana and katakana are pretty basic, guys. You can learn them in a couple of weeks.

You can learn them in a couple of weeks.It's not a matter of how long it takes, it's the fact that it considered "a little knowledge". If I were to go to a spanish speaking country I could comfortably say I have a little knowledge. I can ask where the library is. I can ask where the bathroom is. I can also tell someone to go fuck their mothers or that they need to clean their ass. Knowing two forms of the main writing systems is more than a "little knowledge" to me.

text: A political preview of the EU copyright reform International Trade Alert Share this 17 DEC 2015 By: Jeroen Jansen Federica Boledi Ana Laura Blanco On 9 December 2015, as part of the implementation of the Digital Single Market Strategy, the European Commission published its first legislative proposal aimed at modernising the copyright framework in Europe. The proposal for a Regulation on the portability of online content services focuses on ensuring "that users who have subscribed to or acquired content in their home country can access it when they are temporarily in another Member State". While the text of this proposal has been well received by consumer organisations, it has already raised certain concerns amongst industry stakeholders, who for example claim a lack of legal certainty. The inter-institutional dialogue on the Commission's proposal has yet to be started, as the European Parliament and the Council of the EU will have their say in the decision-making process. For this reason, industry stakeholders still have ample opportunity to have their voice heard during the legislative process. The abovementioned proposal is one of the many initiatives included in the Commission's Communication, setting out how it intends to achieve the goal of 'a more modern, more European copyright framework'. The document includes a targeted action plan with proposals to be implemented in the course of 2016. Take a look at the full political preview below: Ensuring wider access to content across the EU Full cross-border access for all types of content across the EU needs to be balanced with the readiness of the market to respond to legal and policy changes. As a first step the European Commission presented the regulation on ensuring the cross-border portability of online content services in the internal market. The aim of the regulation is that users who have subscribed to or acquired content in their home country can access it when they are temporarily in another EU Member State. Furthermore, the European Commission will consider the following legislative proposals for adoption in spring 2016: Enhancing cross-border distribution of television and radio programmes online in the light of the results of the review of the Satellite and Cable Directive; Reaching an agreement on licences that allow for cross-border access to content, including catering for cross-border requests from other Member States; Making it easier to digitise out-of-commerce works and make them available, including across the EU. The Commission will also provide support via its 'Creative Europe' programme and research and innovation funding, notably the 'Horizon 2020' programme. Adapting exceptions to digital and cross-border environment The aim of the Commission is to take action to increase harmonisation and ensure that the EU framework on exceptions that is relevant for access to knowledge, education and research is effective in the digital age and across border. Firstly, the Commission will propose legislation that is required to implement the Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works by Visually Impaired Persons and Persons with Print Disabilities. Furthermore the Commission will propose legislation in view of: Allowing public interest research organisations to carry out text and data mining of content they have lawful access to; Providing clarity on the scope of the EU exception for 'illustration for teaching'; Providing a clear space for preservation by cultural heritage institutions; Supporting remote consultation of works held in research and academic libraries and other relevant institutions, for research and private study; Clarifying the current EU exception permitting the use of works that were made to be permanently located in the public space (the 'panorama exception'), to take into account new dissemination channels. Achieving a well-functioning marketplace for copyright The possibility for right holders to license and be remunerated for the use of their content, including content distributed online, is a prerequisite for a well-functioning market for copyright. By Spring 2016 the Commission will consider whether: Action is needed on the definition of the rights of 'communication to the public' and of 'making available'; Any specific action to news aggregators is necessary, including intervening on rights; Solutions at EU level are required to increase legal certainty, transparency and balance in the system that governs the remuneration of authors and performers. Providing an effective and balanced enforcement system Respect for copyright is a necessary element to promote innovation and create trust in the market. This requires an effective and balanced civil enforcement system that, while taking into account fundamental rights, reduces the costs of fighting infringements. With regard to enforcement the Commission will: Engage with the parties concerned in setting up and applying the 'follow-the-money' mechanism; Analyse the legal framework for the enforcement of intellectual property rights, including copyright, and come forward with a possible revision of this framework in 2016; Carry out a comprehensive assessment and a public consultation on online platforms, which also covers the swift and efficient removal of illegal material, 'notice and action' mechanisms. If you want to know more on how you can engage with the EU institutions on the upcoming proposals take a couple of minutes to learn about what our Brussels team can do for you: Interest representation in the EU is an integral part of the decision-making process, embedded in the Treaty of the European Union (Article 11) as part of the process of "participatory democracy". Decision-makers welcome input from industries, associations and non-profit organisations to help them design balanced, effective and useful legislation. The Global Government Relations team at DLA Piper is ready to assist your organisation through the European decision-making process, devising practical strategies to help your company deal with the relevant issues. We offer you the opportunity of being on top of any new regulatory development with an impact on your business. Our aim is to help our clients achieving their goals, establishing a trustworthy, dynamic and transparent working relationship.

IMG One-Day Retreat on Sep. 28th
IMG One-Day Retreat on Sep. 28th
It was a beautiful autumn day in Taipei when I attended the one-day retreat at Fagushan (Dharma Drum Mountain).
From the gathering point we drove by car to the monastery north of Taipei. We were a group of around twenty people, mainly internationals and some Taiwanese. Some had a little bit of meditation experience, some were completely new. Everything was very well organized, so that when we arrived, we were already welcomed by an English speaking guide.
Our first activity during this one-day retreat was walking meditation. The volunteer explained the route to us and gave us some very basic instructions, such as to pay attention to your walking, listen to the creek, relax and enjoy. He also prepared some short explanation cards in Chinese for the activity. We started walking from our arrival point up to the monastery with our guide ahead, walking slow-paced in the front and the participants behind him. The path was leading along a small creek and was a bit off the street, so it was a relaxing atmosphere around us. It even felt like that this walkway was specifically designed to perform the walking meditation as the sounds of the creek varied noticeably along the way. Something you would not notice during your usual hiking but only if you really calmed down. As we walked slowly we took about 40 minutes to reach the monastery although the distance could have been walked in 10 minutes easily.
After a short break, the second activity was all about focused concentration. Our guide for the morning had prepared bowls of water filled up to the very rim and he told us that we will have to carry them along a walkway up to one of the main halls.
But before we started he told us a story about the origin of the exercise we were soon going to start: There once was an Indian King who was also a Chan teacher who wanted to see how well his disciple was progressing on the path of Chan. Therefore, he created a challenge to see how much control he can exercise on his mind. He asked the monk to carry a bowl of precious oil to him through a busy market place, passing along all kinds of temptations, such as beautiful women, a wandering elephant etc., designed to make him lose his focus of mind. If the monk was to spill just a single drop, he would be beheaded. Luckily, the story ended well and the monk made it to the Kings throne without having been distracted and he delivered the bowl successfully.
Now it was up to us to carry the water bowls up to the main hall. It was quite a challenge as one was forced to strongly focus on the movements and not to spill the water. As I took the task seriously, I was determined to bring the bowl successfully to its destination. But not after long I got distracted. When a visitor guide close to me was giving some instructions to guests to the monastery, I instinctively turned my head towards the source of the sound, just for a second. Too late, I had spilled the first water out of the bowl just shortly after I started walking. Nevertheless, it was fascinating to see the difference the short shift in focus had made. In the end, we all made it safely to the end of the exercise which ended with a short sharing about our experiences.
After a free and delicious vegetarian lunch, we went to a hall where our sitting meditation was going to take place. The hall was beautifully positioned along the mountain with a view to the valley. It had a lot of windows so that one could really enjoy the view and the relaxing atmosphere in the hall which had a Buddha statue in the back of the room. For the afternoon, with sitting meditation, yoga and walking meditation, we were guided by an actual Buddhist monk from Fagushan, which felt particular special as one does not has this chance every day. But before we started sitting formally, the monk surprised us as he told everyone to relax and lie on our backs for a little while. He expected us to be tired after our meal (which was absolutely correct) and told us to enjoy lying down for a little while, which ended up to be about 25 minutes. Only after that we actually started our sitting meditation practice which was guided in English by the Buddhist monk.
Personally, I really enjoyed the sitting practice in this great peace-instilling location. Although my legs started feeling a bit uncomfortable in the beginning, as I am not used to practice meditation in a formal sitting posture, I was able to rest my mind peacefully, away from the busy everyday work life. For the other participants who tried sitting meditation for the first time, it seemed to be an even stronger challenge. I believe one part of the challenge is the posture, and the other part of the challenge is the mind. It seems that in our daily life we are not used to longer periods of time without Music, TV and other entertainment. But if we go to a place with silence, the sound of the creek nearby and surrounded by beautiful nature, we can slowly learn how to bring our mind to rest.
Overall, I can say that it was a great experience and I am looking forward to attending the next one-day retreat at this beautiful place. Thank you very much for all the efforts organizing!

Variety: Dan Radcliffe to Return to Broadway in a Musical
Oct 09, 2009
Some possible big news this morning as Variety is reporting that "Daniel Radcliffe: will head the cast of an upcoming New York reading of 1961 tuner "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," marking the first musical turn for the "Harry Potter" star. The industry magazine then says "While producers could not be reached for confirmation, the reading is
scheduled for December, with no other cast so far in place. Sources
said plans for the production will be worked out based on the success
of the reading."
Some background on the awarding winning musical is found in the Variety piece: "Written by Abe Burrows, Jack Weinstock and Willie Gilbert, with music and lyrics by Frank Loesser,
"How to Succeed" chronicles the rise of a crafty window cleaner as he
follows the advice of a self-help manual to connive his way up through
the ranks of the World Wide Wickets Co. and get the girl in the process. Robert Morse created the role on Broadway and in the 1967 screen adaptation. The
original production won seven Tonys, including musical, as well as the
Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1962, running for a healthy 1,417
performances. Matthew Broderick won a Tony for the lead role in a 1995 Rialto revival.
that recent production might make it seem a little soon to start
considering a major remount, the current economic turmoil, upheaval in
the job market, and a host of fresh reasons to skewer the world of
corporate America stand to make the cynical comedy resonate with
today's audiences."
Please note, as exciting as this sounds, we are working to get confirmation on this and will update as soon as we can, stay tuned!
Thanks Gabrielle!

The Irish government kept the horsemeat burger scandal from the public for almost four weeks, Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney has admitted.
The Fine Gael Minister has confirmed that his agriculture department had known since before Christmas about the test results showing trace of horsemeat in beef burgers.
As 10 million burgers were removed from sale, industry experts warned of dire consequences for Ireland's beef exporters and Prime Minister Enda Kenny vowed to take action.
The Irish Independent reports that Minister Coveney is in the line of fire after it discovered that the Department of Agriculture was contacted on December 21 for assistance by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland which in turn had received early test results in November.
The paper says that it has also emerged that one of the firms involved in the controversy had been audited just last month by his Department of Agriculture.
The government has now called on food board Bord Bia to repair the damage to an industry which employs over 100,000 people and it worth over $4billion to the Irish economy.

Opposition politicians have demanded to know why Coveney's department kept the revelations quiet for almost a month.
But the Minister has maintained that there had been no food safety risk and that there had been a need to carry out further testing.
He said: "If you get a result like this, and there's no danger to human health, which there isn't, but if there is a significant reputational threat to an industry, you have to make sure those results are accurate."
The scandal has even been debated in the British House of Commons where British Prime Minister David Cameron described it as a 'completely unacceptable state of affairs.'
Supermarket chain Tesco has taken out a series of newspaper adverts to apologise to customers for the traces of horsemeat and pork in beef burgers on sale on its shelves.
Shares in Tesco dropped 0.7 per cent on the London stock market, a reduction of up to $500 million.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland has confirmed to the Irish Independent that it had got initial findings about the presence of horse meat in beef burgers at the end of November.

Ray Ellard, director of consumer protection, told the paper it had been crucial to get laboratory verification.
Ellard said: "When you go to companies with findings like this the first line of defence they give is always that your lab is rubbish and your results aren't valid."
Investigations are now focusing on the extra protein additive used to hold the beef burgers together.
Minister Coveney said it had been imported from the Netherlands and Spain, although he cautioned against 'scapegoating' these countries before the investigation was completed.
Coveney added: "There is no evidence so far to show the two Irish processing plants that produced the burgers, Liffey Meats in Cavan and Silvercrest Foods in Monaghan, had knowingly brought in horse meat to use in their burgers.
"We are confident this will not hamper efforts to break into the lucrative Chinese and US markets.
"Most of the meat product that gets exported out of Ireland is chilled fresh meat. This is a frozen burger market."

Rihanna to produce and star in fashion reality show
The We Found Love hitmaker, who recently teamed with high street store River Island to launch her own range, has now signed up to appear in Styled to Rock, which will give 12 contestants the opportunity to design looks for celebrities.
The 10-episode series will air on U.S. network Style next year (13).
Executive Salaam Coleman Smith tells The Hollywood Reporter, "Rihanna is a trailblazer, a trendsetter and the epitome of style. She has a powerful and unique point-of-view that transcends every aspect of pop culture, including fashion, and is a leading creative force."
Smith insists the new show will "reinvent the fashion competition genre".

You may recall the recent OSNews article about Linux Fund getting donations to supply developers with OGD1 boards. (OGD1 is a what you might call an "open source graphics card," with all designs, documentation and source code available under Free Software licenses. Technically, however, OGD1 is an FPGA-based prototyping platform with memory and video encoders on it. See the wikipedia article.) Since then, the FSF got involved and is asking for volunteers to help with the OGP wiki. The OGP had shown OGD1 driving a graphics display back in 2007 at OSCON. And now, the OGP has just announced technical success with the rather difficult challenge of emulating legacy VGA text mode. They even put up a video on YouTube of a display, driven by OGD1, showing a PC booting into Gentoo.

The current economic crisis has been a hot topic in leading business schools at Catholic universities across the United States.
Heads of master's programs in business at a number of Catholic universities said in interviews with Catholic News Service they see the market meltdown as a valuable occasion to teach their students the consequences of imprudent business decisions.
Christopher Puto, dean of the University of St. Thomas' Opus College of Business in Minneapolis, remarked: 'There are powerful lessons here on the issues of greed, selfishness and the need for sound moral judgment that offer great insight for young people at the start of their careers.
'We may be able to use this to guide the development of a new class of business leaders who genuinely understand that profit and the common good are not mutually exclusive ends,' he said.
Puto was among several deans and professors CNS interviewed from the University of Notre Dame in Indiana; Boston College; Georgetown University in Washington; Villanova University in Pennsylvania; Marquette University in Milwaukee; the University of San Diego; and the University of St. Thomas.
All said their schools' business programs integrate the importance of business ethics and social justice into the curriculum.
In addition to core classes in philosophy and theology, embedded in many of the business courses are elements of corporate responsibility and Catholic social teaching, the affirmation of human dignity, the common good, solidarity with the poor and subsidiarity, which is the principle that things should be done at the simplest, most decentralized and most local level possible.
Since the slide on Wall Street began in late September, professors said classroom debates on the crisis have been commonplace. Many said they use the beginning of class to reflect on what has been happening, and what this means to students who want to break into the financial industry.
Professor Ed Soule at Georgetown's McDonough School of Business said professors are just trying to make sense out of the economic situation by putting it into context, since most students do not have a basis for comparison.
'We like to talk about what is going on, and how it fits into the history of commercial activities,' he said.
'One thing that can happen with students is that they can start to see business as mechanical.... The human dimension is not always as emphasized as it should be,' he said.
He also said that a factor in the upset on Wall Street is a lack of trust between trading partners.
'Once there is a breach of trust, it is difficult to get (it) back,' he said. 'Those that spent their entire careers showing that they are trustworthy proved it saved them in the end. Times like this show how important character can be.'
The economic situation 'seems to be a constant source of conversation, in all departments,' said Sarah Peck, chair of Marquette's business school and associate professor of finance.
This coming spring semester Peck is scheduled to teach an investment ethics class, which she said will be the first of its kind nationwide.
Currently, in conversations about Wall Street, 'there is no doubt that we tie (the financial crisis) to economic principles,' she said. 'But rather than saying, 'Wow, these people were bad,' we are approaching it (by) trying to understand how this really happened: the way incentives were set up, the pressures, etc.
'It can be hard to detect the beginning of deviating ethical practices, and it can culminate in a culture that can be disastrous,' she added. 'Because of the nature of the profession, it is not always black and white. In the business environment there is always a conflict of interest because both parties are trying to make money.'
A recent meeting of representatives of the University of St. Thomas School of Law and the Opus College of Business and its Center for Ethical Business Cultures focused on integrity, religious values and the business world.
'The purpose,' professor Kenneth Goodpastor said, 'was to consider co-curricular opportunities for law and business students to explore the root of and solutions to the crisis in a way that is responsive to the mission and identity of a Catholic university, specifically in its professional schools.'
Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business and its Institute for Ethical Business Worldwide emphasize values-based leadership and weave social issues and environmental stewardship into the curriculum. Dean Carolyn Woo believes this educational approach will prepare students to practice moral courage in times of frequent business judgment lapses.
'I think (the crisis) is a very teachable moment,' said Woo. 'It's an example of each person looking out for their own self-interest, not human charity --- a graphic illustration of the harm that can be done, of what we as humans subconsciously do.'
In her dean's report she quoted the school's mission statement, which seems especially relevant to the current crisis:
'In these volatile times, we seek to prepare our students to search for perspective, to ask penetrating questions, to plumb the depths of uncertainty with confidence. ... For wisdom to prevail, we must engage our students to look beyond the narrow bounds of self-interest and seek answers that will add value and serve the broader good of the world we live in.'

The Ugly Truth of Gerard Butler
Article Date: July 23, 2009 | Publication: HollywoodToday.net | Author: By Robin Rowe
Source: HollywoodToday.net
The Ugly Truth from Columbia Pictures
**** 4 Stars
HOLLYWOOD, CA (Hollywood Today) 7/23/09 - "I took inspiration from Spencer Tracy and Cary Grant, the way the words are always flying in their films," says The Ugly Truth star Gerard Butler. "The dynamic between men and women in this story is a little more outrageous than we're used to seeing and what really hits home is how truthful it is. It allows the characters to say the kinds of things that make people think 'I can't believe he just said that,' followed by 'but it's so true.'"
The Ugly Truth is a sexy comedy with heart and very funny. What would you get if you could take a classic romantic comedy with secret identities and clever dialog like Cary Grant and Grace Kelly in To Catch a Thief, a film quite daring sexually for 1955, and make it as daring by today's shock jock standard? You get The Ugly Truth, the perfect date movie. Butler brings not the suave Cary Grant of To Catch a Thief, but the rough funny Cary Grant of Father Goose. Katherine Heigl plays to perfection the cool simmering blonde of Grace Kelly.
"What really convinced us is that when Gerry and Katherine Heigl met," says The Ugly Truth producer Gary Lucchesi. "The chemistry between them was obvious."
"Here we had this character who could just be a foul-mouthed shock-jock who says outrageous things, but Gerry found a way to make the character not only sympathetic but disarming, good-natured and attractive," says The Ugly Truth director Robert Luketic. "He really captures that undeniable connection between the bad boy and the guy that women can't help but be attracted to."
"Mike has an enormous amount of dialogue, probably ten times the dialogue I've ever had in a film," says Butler. "He has an opinion or a smart line for everything. The trick to portraying Mike Chadway was keeping some sense of his humanity because it's a love story within the comedy. You could say Mike Chadway is sexist or misogynist or any of these things, but he's also very smart, very funny and there's something about him that's very real and genuine."
"I think what sets this movie apart is that it isn't just a few funny moments inside of a romance like a typical romantic comedy," says The Ugly Truth producer Tom Rosenberg. "It's one funny scene after another with two leads who have great chemistry."
For sexy comedy, The Ugly Truth is a better film than Knocked Up, the hit Katherine Heigl film starring Jack Black. Where Knocked Up would reach for the cheap laugh and gross out moment, The Ugly Truth sustains smart and sexy. The movie is an R not because of any naked body parts, but for the relentless attack on the embarrassing truths of the battle of the sexes. As Butler says, "It's very honest, in an outlandish way, about what goes on in relationships between men and women."
The Ugly Truth
Release Date: July 24th, 2009 (USA)
MPAA Rating: R for sexual content and language.
Running Time: 1 hr. 35 min.

Thunder Road to Host Clint Bowyer
Barre, VT - Thunder Road officials announced this morning that NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Clint Bowyer will be participating in the Vermont Lottery Commission Governor's Cup at Barre VT's Thunder Road on Thursday, July 11.
Bowyer, who currently sits fourth overall on the Sprint Cup Series, will pilot a Crazy Horse racing Toyota Camry in the 150-lap event. His car will be painted to match his #15 Michael Waltrip racing ride that he currently drives in NASCAR's top division.
"I think Clint Bowyer is about as 'old school' a racer as NASCAR has,'" said long-time Thunder Road Promoter Tom Curley. "To have guys like Tony Stewart and now Bowyer come to the Governor's Cup race at the "Nation's Site of Excitement" is a great thing for our fans and teams at Thunder Road," he finished.
Bowyer has captured 8 Sprint Cup victories since his rookie season in 2006 and over 200 wins and numerous championships in everything from Motocross to Modifieds. The 2008 NASCAR Nationwide Series Champion was runner-up to Brad Keselowski in last year's Sprint Cup title chase.
"I think he's one of a kind," said Thunder Road co-owner Ken Squier. "He's a top talent in auto racing, and he's got a lot of personality. I can't wait to see him duke it out on the high banks with our local guys," he finished.
The Vermont Lottery Commission Governor's Cup will roll on Thursday, July 11 at Barre's Thunder Road. Post time for the event is 6:00 p.m.
