Senator Díaz letter to Governor Paterson Regarding EPIC Funding Reduction
January 27, 2010
Honorable David A. Paterson
Governor of the State of New York
State Capitol
Albany, New York 12224
Dear Governor Paterson:
My purpose for writing to you today is to discuss one of the funding reductions you propose in your SFY 2010-2011 Executive Budget and to offer some suggestions for how this funding reduction may be ameliorated.
Your Executive Budget proposes a reduction in funding for the Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage program (EPIC) by $92.7 million over the next two years. While I understand the fiscal constraints New York State is currently experiencing, I believe there must be another option to reducing prescription drug coverage for senior citizens. Prescription drug coverage keeps seniors healthy and is an important resource in assisting them to maintain their independence. Without this important support, many seniors might easily have to turn to institutional care, which is more expensive and by far a less preferable living option.
I have introduced legislation that would create the New York State Prescription Medication Cost Containment Program (S1645A/A7666, Reported and Committed to Senate Finance, January 25, 2010). This legislation is modeled on the successful prescription drug program currently operating in Schenectady County. In the first four years of the program, Schenectady County saved approximately $6 million in prescription drug costs for their retirees. I have enclosed a copy of the testimony that Christopher Gardner, Schenectady County Attorney, presented at a hearing that I chaired on this topic in March, 2009. Should this prescription cost containment program be implemented, I am hopeful that similar savings would be realized in New York State as well.
The Executive Budget that you presented on January 19, 2010 contains many funding reductions as well as recommendations on how to increase revenue. My proposal is one more suggestion for how New York State can reduce its expenditures without reducing services.
Senator Reverend Rubén Díaz
Chairman, New York State Senate Committee on Aging

Listening Gnu by the Nevrax Design Team
This color drawing depicts a gnu lounging comfortably in a golden robe. He wears large headphones. His eyes are closed, and he has a look of contentment on his face. He clearly enjoys what he is hearing. In his front hooves, he holds a portable CD player, and a few CDs lay on the floor in front of him. Also on the floor are a two speakers, which are also plugged into his portable unit.
We thank the artists of the Nevrax Design Team, for drawing this beautiful picture, and their employer, Nevrax Limited, for giving him time to work on it.

In a matter of mere hours, I'll be en route to Bangkok via LAX (insert Ana Lucia reference here) and Tokyo, for my first multi-week vacation in years, across Southeast Asia. Magically, my vacation is only partially scheduled, as the core intention is to attend a college friend's wedding, after which I'm heading to northern Thailand with another college friend to spend time with her family, followed by a few days of relaxation in Laos, a flight to Siem Reap, on-wards in Cambodia and back to Bangkok.
As I type this, I'm contemplating what t-shirts and sundress (and nutrition bars, Dr. Bronners and emergency bag of nooch) I want to spend the next month with, and hoping my back survives while my mind and tastebuds are blown.
If you have any recommendations, please, do share. You can also email me at GetSconed AT gmail.com.
I'm sure I'll return with photos galore in 2012, but for now, if you wish to peer into my adventure, here's my silly travel blog (which led me to realize how many times I've abandoned a baby tumblr in the past – we've all been there), inspired by an inside joke with my brother and my friend, Bahar. Time will tell if I keep it up…

Let's face it, a case is simply a way to protect your firearms during transport. Imagine, you are finally going on that much anticipated hunting trip you have waited for all year. You make your way to baggage claim and there it is. It's for this reason that ICC is one of the most sought after cases for transporting valuable firearms. In fact, when the Safari Club International shipped their $120,000 Bengal Tiger rifle, they used our model 5214kk case.
Please allow up to one week for product to ship from factory. If you are concerned about delivery please call toll free 1-208-687-4400 Storefront Content and speak with a factory representative. Thank you!

I took a workshop at the Ontario Expo from Pink Paislee and Heidi Swapp using this album to make a travel portfolio. It is SUCH a fun folio to play with! I love how the tabs are generically decorated so you can make this album anything you want (day/week in the life, Project 52, travel album, family memory, etc)!
The front has a nice embossed texture so you can ink and then decorate as well. We decorated the cover, inside cover, back cover as well as all of the tabs using PP and HS products. The album also comes with plastic sleeves that you can use to add photos, trinkets, ephemera or such to complete the album.
Mine is about 2/3 done so as soon as I finish, I'll be posting it... whenever that happens!

The Best Made Smaller!
The award winning Lezyne Road Drive will finally be available in the size all roadies and weight-weenies around the world have been waiting for – SMALL. After many requests by fans to make a good thing even better by making it smaller, we said "why not!" So the new Road Drive S will measure in at pocket-stuffing 180mm long, weigh in at a lightweight 82g, and have the same max pressure as its bigger brothers – 160 psi / 11bar. It will feature the same CNC machined aluminum parts, aluminum pump frame mount, and come with Lezyne's secure ABS Speed Flex hose. The price will also be the same at US $44.99 and will be available in stores this November.
So, if you want a hand pump to replace your old frame pump or an efficient pocket stuffer, now you can buy the Road Drive in the size that best suites you.
Choose the best. Ride with Lezyne.

Wabash XC Alumni Return for Charlie Finch Memorialby Jim Amidon • August 30, 2008 Share:
Wabash alumni who participated in track and field and cross country returned in big numbers for the Charlie Finch Memorial Alumni Run, which was held on Saturday. The event allows the alumni a chance to meet — and race against the men who make up the current Wabash cross country team.
And, in keeping with tradition, it was an alumnus who won the four-mile race. Geoff Lambert, an All-American at 800 meters and a 2008 Wabash graduate, won without much pressure in 21:57, but did need to finish strongly over the final 200 meters to beat Donavan White.

The photos and videos shown here may be of a different model, model year or body type from the one selected. The ratings of one vehicle often apply to other models if they are built on the same platform. In addition, a test of a vehicle from one model year may apply to earlier or later model years if the vehicle hasn't been significantly redesigned.
The Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute were introduced in the 2001 model year.
Measures taken from the chest indicate low risk of injuries to this body region. High head accelerations occurred when the dummy's head hit both the steering wheel through the airbag and the B-pillar, indicating that head injuries would be possible. Forces on the right tibia indicate that injuries to the lower leg would be likely. (Note: during the test, some injury data from the left leg was lost, but after the Institute reviewed comparable test data from Ford and Mazda, the left leg injury risk was rated good.)
Dummy movement was reasonably well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the B-pillar.
How this test is conducted
Two tests of a 2003 Escape were conducted, one with an optional side airbag for the driver, and one without. A third test of an Escape, a 2005 model, was conducted because the side airbags were changed beginning with 2005 models to include protection for the rear passenger. These vehicles are rated separately, except that the injury and head protection ratings for the rear passenger are based on both tests of the 2003 models. Structural ratings for the three vehicles are based on all three tests.
Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that rib fractures would be possible in a crash of this severity. The risk of significant injuries to other body regions is low.
Passenger — Measures taken from the dummies in the two tests of the 2003 model, taken together, indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Driver — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side airbag that deployed from the seat.
Passenger — In both tests of the 2003 model, the dummy's head was hit by the pillar behind the rear passenger door. This pillar is required by federal standard to provide some protection for occupants' heads.
The Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute were introduced in the 2001 model year, and the Mercury Mariner was introduced in 2005. The Mazda Tribute skipped the 2007 model year but reappeared the following year.
Note: These ratings and specifications do not apply to the hybrid (gas-electric) versions of the Escape and Mariner.
Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that rib fractures and/or internal organ injuries would be likely in a crash of this severity. Serious brain and neck injuries would also be possible. In addition, loading to the shoulder was excessive.
Driver — The dummy's head was hit by the intruding barrier, producing moderately high head injury measures.

Gold or Silver: What's Your Main Metallic?
When it comes to decor, metallics are key to adding sparkle and glam to any space. But should you go for rich, glittery gold or cool, shimmery silver? Here are some inspirational examples to help you find your model metal.
Whatever your choice, metallic accents look great in any room and on any object. Although they're flashy, they can easily function as neutrals since they complement most colors. Or get crazy and mix the two for an eclectic look. Even a touch of either gold or silver will add pizazz and perk up your decor.

Formerly a high-end brand, Sharp has spent the past few years attacking the mass market in the UK and this 26-incher proves to be a valuable weapon in its arsenal.
The features on the Sharp LC-26AD5E have been trimmed to keep the price down and, while hardly show-stopping, the basics are all here.
The HD Ready 1,366 x 768- pixel panel is coupled with two HDMI inputs, which is a decent return for the cash. Delve into the set's set-up menus and you'll discover a black level booster and a digital noise reduction engine, but we'd hardly call that top-brand picture processing.
Impressive black levels
Put to work on a Blu-ray disc of The Shining, the LC-26AD5E produces pictures imbued with realistic blacks, which on a budget LCD TV is rare.
The shock and awe is somewhat tempered by the tight viewing angle. Walk just a few feet off-centre and the house of cards tumbles, with greys taking over and colours dulling alarmingly.
That's a shame because when viewed straight on, the Sharp's pictures are generally admirable. Skin tones can seem a touch too ripe at times, but close-ups retain a sense of realism and thrilling detail.
Black levels are shown up almost as clearly, but not quite during The Shining's finale sequence in the maze, though the backlight can be manually dimmed to increase the cinematic feel.
There's a lack of fine shadow detail in dark areas of the image, but it's nothing serious. Nor is the slight trace of picture noise in backgrounds. Camera pans do show up a little motion judder, but it's less apparent on fast-moving shots.
Effective surround sound
Pictures from the LC-26AD5E's built-in digital TV tuner enjoy a very clean finish. Detailed and lacking much picture noise, we'd go as far as saying this is the cheapest flat TV around that makes a decent stab at bridging the divide between Freeview and HD.
The invisible speakers also do a good job, and not just with everyday TV fare. A surround mode widens the sound enough to add the finishing touch to movies, which is almost unheard of on a 26-incher. If using a TV as a radio is your thing, the clear voice mode works well.
There's a lot to like about this screen, with credit due for its handling of colour, contrast and stunning Freeview picture quality. But its flawed viewing angle is alarming and despite its undeniable charms, Sharp could do better.

Divorced Woman Starts Dating Her Son
A forty year old woman divorces her husband then decides that she would like to start dating other men again.
She begins a regimen of physical training and dieting. After three months, she loses twenty pounds and her body is slender and toned like when she was in her twenties.
The only problem is, much of the weight she lost came from her breasts. Her breasts were once full and firm, but they have became deflated and now sag.
The woman wants to have a "bikini body" like when she was younger, so she gets breast implants.
The results are awesome and she decides it's time for her to begin dating again.
She starts wearing short skirts and sheer blouses without a bra to flaunt her new sexuality.
Two or three times a week the woman goes out to local bars for couple of drinks and dancing, but never finds anybody that she would like to date. The only guys she meets are older men that are obviously married and they stink from alcohol and cigarettes.
What the woman wants is a younger man that appreciates a beautiful mature lady.
One Friday evening she comes home from the bars early. She is surprised to find her twenty year old son alone and watching television in the living room. He is usually out with his girlfriend.
The woman asks her son if he wants a have a drink with her and he accepts. She makes them two stiff drinks then sits next to him on the couch and asks him why he is home alone.
He explains to his mother that his girlfriend is going off to college in another state, so they decided the best thing to do would be to abruptly end their relationship.
The son says to his mother, "I was getting tired of going out with her anyway. I have dated a lot of different girls, but never really liked the ones about my age. My preference is beautiful slender sexy mature women like you. I don't know really how to say this, but since you lost all that weight and got those new boobs, I have a fantasy about having sex with you."
The woman goes to the kitchen to make them another drink, then returns to the living room and sits extra close to her son.
The woman keeps encouraging her son to keep talking about how he would like to have sex with her. While they are enjoying their drink and having conversation, the woman casually unclasps the top three buttons of her blouse so her son has a clear view of her naked breasts.
After they finish their drink, the woman moves even closer to her son and he puts his arm around her.
They begin tongue kissing as the son reaches into his mother's blouse and begins fondling her firm breasts with their hard brown nipples.
A few minutes later the woman stands up and takes off her clothes then gets on her knees between her son's legs.
She unzips his pants and his hard cock springs out. She plays with it for a few moments then leans forward and takes it into her mouth.
Several minutes later the woman lays on the couch. Her son quickly strips naked then climbs on top of her and they begin fucking.
Their bodies slap together loudly for three or four minutes then the son suddenly stops and ejaculates in his mother.
The son looks directly into his mother's eyes and says, "Mom, that was the best fuck that I have every had. I'm sorry that it didn't last very long because I was too excited. In the morning I promise to take my time and bring you to an orgasm if you want me to."
The woman replies to her son, "Oh honey, that's so sweet of you to say. Of course I want you to fuck me in the morning. From now on, you can fuck me anytime you want."

Saul Bass Google Doodle: Watch a Moving Tribute to the Film Icon
In honor of the birthday of legendary artist/filmmaker/credits designer Saul Bass, Google has dedicated a very entertaining Doodle to the man, best known for his collaborations with Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese.
Film lovers everywhere know the significance of Saul Bass and his immortal contributions to some of cinema's finest films; it's an understatement to say he was crucial to the overall effectiveness to some of the greatest movies ever made, and changed the way we view credit sequences and movie posters. In addition to creating the opening credits for films like 'Spartacus,' 'Vertigo,' 'Cape Fear,' 'Casino,' and 'West Side Story' (just to name a few), he helped craft the shower sequence (and supposedly much more) in 'Psycho,' created the incredible posters for Stanley Kubrick's 'The Shining' and Otto Preminger's 'Anatomy of a Murder,' and directed the cult favorite sci-fi film 'Phase IV.'
But it's impossible to list all of Bass' achievements here without using at least 1,000 words. For now, enjoy the Google tribute to Bass, who would have been 93 years old today. (He died in 1996.)

Breaking News Emails
Thunderstorms, hail, lightning and floods walloped the East Coast from Maine to Florida overnight, as a blast of unusually chilly air pushed south and east. Suburbs of Washington D.C., Philadelphia and New York City were worst hit, according to Kevin Roth, lead meteorologist at The Weather Channel. Downed trees, flooding and lightning were reported.
Flash floods turned highways and sidewalks into veritable ponds in the tri-state area, as storms dumped up to 3 inches of rain and tangled traffic in parts of New York and New Jersey. On New York's George Washington Bridge, commuters suffered delays of nearly 3 hours on the inbound side, according to NBC New Y1ork. In Connecticut, fierce flooding sent cars floating like boats. Hail, aggressive winds and flash flooding were also hit parts of the Rockies and nearby High Plains. Severe thunderstorms hit Cheyene, Wyoming, and Arizona was lashed by monsoon rains and heavy winds that flipped over an F-16. Meanwhile, wildfires continued to rage in Oregon while California continued to sizzle.

Mt. Abraham Rallies to Defeat Lady Rangers 2-1
ORLEANS–Meghan Livingston broke a 1-1 tie with 11:37 remaining in the second half to lift the twelfth ranked Mount Abraham Eagles (10-4-2) over the number four seed Lake Region during the Division II quarter-finals on Saturday afternoon.The goal came after a solid seventeen minutes of sustained Eagle pressure in the Ranger end of the field."The girls gave an awesome effort out their," said Eric Degre. "Unfortunately in the second, they got a bunch of shots in a row and eventually scored."As the action unfurled in the first half, both teams looked fairly equal.The Lady Rangers had the first good chance of the game just three minutes in.Tyrah Urie hit Mikayla Royer with a pass, but Mt. Abe keeper Ashlie Fay came out to meet the ball and scoop it up.A corner followed by a direct kick midway through the half gave the Eagles their first opportunities, but both were turned away by the Lake Region defenders.With 15:10 left to play, the Lady Rangers went ahead on a pretty goal by Drew Neal.Sabrina Roberge, who played a fantastic game, started the play, going up the left side of the field, feeding the ball to Tori Adams.Adams in turn carried it a little further, then dished to Neal, who got by the last Eagle fullback and fired the ball past Fay for the tally.Ten minutes later, Evy Jacobs' cross-body shot beat Jordyn Cowles lower left to tie the game at one.It could have been 2-1 very easily, but Cowles' beautiful diving save with :20 left kept the score at 1-1 going into the break.In the second the Rangers pressured early.Caitlyn Bernier sent Urie in all alone, but she missed wide.Corrina Cota sent a great ball into the 18 where Royer got a head on it, but Fay made the save.Direct kicks by Urie and super defender Sarah Burnham also went by the wayside for Lake Region, and that would be all from the home team for a long while.Mount Abe really stepped up their game ten minutes into the second, and Cowles had to be sharp.Multiple waves of offense by the Eagles kept the Lady Rangers hemmed in their own end for an extended stretch of time, and it was only a matter of who, not when, someone was going to score for the visiting team.That someone was Livingston, whose low shot beat Cowles to put Mt. Abe ahead to stay.Lake Region didn't quit though, they fought back, and had a very good final eight minutes.Their best chance came on another Urie breakaway with 4:44 left to go.In a very uncharacteristic move, and I say so because she has been spot on all season long, Tyrah put a slow shot right at Fay, who easily made the save.Amber Bernier got the final crack at the net, but it too was turned away, and for the second straight day, the Lake Region faithful had to endure a difficult loss on their home field.Fay had six saves in the win, while Cowles had seven for Lake Region, who wrapped up their season with a 12-4 showing.The big question now is who will be at the helm of the Lady Rangers in 2013.

DailyDirt: Effective Charity FTW
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- Last year, the Ice Bucket Challenge raised about $115 million (in the US alone) from 2.5 million people, raising awareness about ALS -- and wasting a bit of water. According to the ALS Association, the Ice Bucket money for ALS (aka Lou Gehrig's disease) will be spent thusly: 67% on research, 20% on patient and community services, 9% on education, 2% on fundraising and 2% on external processing fees. The Ice Bucket Challenge was one of the largest charitable events (outside of disaster or emergency), and it may be difficult to repeat this kind of viral phenomenon. Still, the ALS Association wants August to become a traditional month for ALS awareness... and a couple million bucks will be spent to try to get more than a few million back in donations. [url]
- The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) funded a biotech company with $75 million to research a cure for over more than a decade. A treatment from Vertex Pharmaceuticals appears to be successful for some patients, and further research could improve the results for more people who suffer with cystic fibrosis. [url]
- Instead of money, Toyota donated its engineers to the Food Bank for New York City. Armed with a philosophy of 'continuous improvement' (aka kaizen), higher productivity at the charity meant more people were fed more efficiently. Elsewhere, Toyota's efficiency methods are also being used at more and more hospitals. [url]

|Brief Summary
This research study is a Phase I clinical trial. Phase I clinical trials test the safety of an investigational combination of drugs. Phase I studies also try to define the appropriate dose of the investigational combination to use for further studies. "Investigational" means that the combination of these drugs is still being studied and that research doctors are trying to find out more about it. It also means that the FDA has not approved either of these drugs nor the combination of being tested for use in patients, including people with your type of cancer.
BKM120, BYL719 and olaparib are drugs that may stop cancer cells from growing abnormally. These drugs when combined in laboratory experiments with animals, have demonstrated anti-cancer activity. Information from these other research studies suggests that the following agents BKM120, BYL719 and olaparib, may help to shrink tumor cells in the types of cancers being studied in this research study.
In this research study, the investigators are looking for the highest dose that can be given safely and also to see if the combination of BKM120 or BYL719 and olaparib is effective in treating your type of cancer.
|Detailed Description
During this study, additional tests will be performed on a sample of your original tumor that has been stored in your institutions tissue banks. These tests will be performed on tumor tissue samples from previous biopsies or surgeries for your cancer. The research done on these samples will involve looking at DNA and proteins in your cancer to see if researchers can learn more about your type of cancer and understand how this combination of drugs might work on your tumor. Testing of this sample will not require you to undergo any additional research procedures.
Approximately 2 tablespoons of blood will be collected for research testing. This testing will involve looking at DNA and proteins in your blood to compare them with those seen in your cancer. This will be drawn before you begin taking the study drug.
You may also participate in an optional blood test for the BRCA gene. The BRCA gene test is a blood test that uses DNA analysis to see changes in either one of two breast cancer genes, known as BRCA1 or BRCA2. After having a BRCA gene test performed, you learn whether you carry an inherited BRCA gene mutation. If your blood is tested for the BRCA gene, the results will be reported to your study doctor who will share the results with you and provide information related to your personal risk of breast cancer. Having a BRCA gene mutation is rare, occurring in only about 1 in 1000 people. Inherited BRCA gene mutations are responsible for less than 5 to 10 percent of breast cancers and about 10 to 15 percent of ovarian cancers.
Participants in the dose expansion portion of the study may be asked to have a tumor biopsy done. The dose expansion phase for the combination of BKM120 and Olaparib has been determined. The combination of BYL719 and Olaparib is currently in the dose escalation phase and the dose expansion phase has not been determined. Before and after you begin taking BKM120 (or BYL719) and olaparib, your doctor may also ask you to participate in an optional study where you would have tumor biopsies done.
Participation in the tumor biopsy and blood test for the BRCA gene are optional, and whether you consent or refuse to undergo these additional tests will not affect your participation in the main research study.
Since the investigators are looking for the highest dose of the study drug that can be administered safely without severe or unmanageable side effects in participants that have high grade serious ovarian cancer or triple negative breast cancer, not everyone who participates in this research study will receive the same dose of the study drug. The dose you get will depend on the number of participants who have been enrolled in the study before you and how well they have tolerated their doses.
All drugs are in oral form. If you take part in this research study, you will be given a study dosing calendar for each drug for each treatment cycle. Each treatment cycle lasts 4 weeks. BKM120 or BYL719 should be taken once daily in the morning, one hour after a light meal. Olaparib should be taken twice a day continuously, about twelve hours apart. The olaparib morning dose should be taken at the same time as BKM120 or BYL719 one hour after a light meal. The evening dose can also be taken one hour after a light meal or on an empty stomach either 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals. If you vomit either or both medications, record this on your diary and do not take another dose that day.
The investigators will assess your tumor by CT or MRI scan every 8 weeks. During Cycle 1, you will come into the clinic every week, and during cycle 2, you will come into clinic every 2 weeks. For all cycles thereafter, you will come in once every 4 weeks.
During study visits you will undergo some or all of the following: evaluation of performance status, recording of any healthy problems, physical exam including vital signs, list of medications taken since last visit, questionnaire to evaluate anxiety and depression, routine blood tests, research blood tests, Electrocardiogram and optional biopsy.
You will remain in this research study as long as you are benefitting from study treatment. If you are removed from the research study for any reason you may be followed for up to one year.

UW-Oshkosh gave defending national champion UW-Whitewater all it could handle for 60 minutes in a 20-17 football defeat on Saturday (Oct. 22) at J.J. Keller Field at Titan Stadium.
Eric Kindler drilled a 17-yard field goal with 1:18 remaining for the deciding points. The Titans (5-2/3-1 WIAC), ranked 20th by D3football.com, were in the lead or tied for 56 of the 60 minutes. UW-Whitewater (7-0/4-0 WIAC), ranked first in the NCAA Division III, posted its closest margin of victory since Sept. 13, 2008 – a span of 48 wins. The Warhawks also extended their nation-best winning streak to 37 games.
The game-winning drive started at the UW-Whitewater 20-yard line with 5:51 on the clock. Levell Coppage or Matt Blanchard rushed on each of the drive's 10 plays. From midfield, Coppage busted through the left side and zigzagged his way for 47 yards. The Titan defense then stuffed three runs at the goal line to force a field goal.
UW-Oshkosh made things interesting by moving to the UW-Whitewater 37-yard line with about 20 seconds left. Casey Casper came up with a sack on the next play to force a Hail Mary, which was intercepted by Ryan Wenkman in the end zone with one second remaining.
The Titans rushed for 214 yards against a unit that had been allowing just 67 ground yards per game. On UW-Oshkosh's first possession, Cole Myhra (So. • Menomonee Falls) bolted up the middle for a 53-yard gain. Nate Becker (Jr. • Waukesha) converted that opportunity with a 29-yard field goal for an early 3-0 lead.
That cushion remained into the second quarter before UW-Whitewater started to march. The Warhawks went 89 yards in 13 plays, including consecutive runs of 17 yards by Coppage and 11 by Blanchard. Facing 3rd-and-5, Blanchard ran a quarterback draw and sprinted for the 23-yard touchdown and a 7-3 advantage.
The Titan offense had a response on its ensuing play with Wesley Price's (Sr. • San Mateo, Calif.) 13-yard run. Nate Wara (Jr. • Oshkosh) later found Garrie Fox (Sr. • Madison) to convert a 3rd-and-9 play. Charlie Weissman (Sr. • Colgate) capped the drive with a one-yard scoring run to regain UW-Oshkosh's advantage at the 12:11 mark of the second period.
UW-Whitewater was able to equal the score on a 47-yard field goal from Kindler. The Titans then went to work before intermission. Justin Budiac (Sr. • Mukwonago) got things started with a 21-yard run down the sideline. From the 14-yard line, Jeremy Roach (Sr. • Deerfield) took an option pitch and weaved his way through traffic for the touchdown. UW-Oshkosh held its 17-10 cushion, marking the Warhawks' first halftime deficit in 37 games.
After driving 57 yards in the third quarter, Blanchard got picked off by Charlie Stueck (Sr. • Clintonville) in the end zone. The Titans punted to give the ball back, and that's when UW-Whitewater struck. Tyler Huber got behind the defense and hauled in a rainbow for 62 yards down to the four-yard line. Blanchard found Tyler Huber two plays later to tie the score at 17 with 1:13 left in the third quarter.
UW-Oshkosh, which tallied 17 points on its first five possessions, came up empty on its last seven drives of the contest. The Titans finished the game by going three-and-out, failing on fourth-and-one, punting and tossing a last-second interception. Racking up 362 total yards, UW-Oshkosh booked 22 first downs and 9-of-18 conversions on third down.
The Warhawks compiled 20 first downs and 429 yards of offense. Coppage used 28 carries to obtain his 131 yards, while Blanchard added 91 rushing yards on 14 attempts. Blanchard completed 17-of-25 through the air for 209 yards, with 127 yards and seven catches coming from Huber.
The Titans' balanced attack featured 66 rushing yards (seven carries) by Myhra and 54 yards on 14 tries by Wara. Hitting 17-of-33 passes, Wara marked 148 yards. Caleb Voss (So. • Van Dyne) led the homecoming team with 86 receiving yards, as Fox added 50 yards on seven grabs. UW-Oshkosh drew an attendance of 3,863 for its largest crowd since 1998.
In a battle of the league's top two offenses, the WIAC's top two defenses had their moments. Austin Blashka (So. • Menasha) posted 10 tackles for UW-Oshkosh, while Taylor Goodman (Jr. • South Wayne) notched eight stops and one sack. The Warhawks' effort featured 10 stops from Kyle Wismer and eight tackles (three for loss) by Cole Klotz.
UW-Oshkosh has its only night home game of the season when it faces UW-La Crosse on Saturday (Oct. 29) at J.J. Keller Field at Titan Stadium.

In a new post to his blog Klaus Graefensteiner takes a look at two ways to test for prime numbers both with Sieve and from a file.
In PHP is really no ideal way to test large integers and determine whether they are prime numbers or not. The most popular algorithm for finding prime numbers is a memory and resource hog. It is called The Sieve of Eratosthenes.
You can get more of an idea on this method in this video and in this example from Wikipedia. He includes the full source for his solution that includes methods like isInteger, isPositive, isPerfectSquare and isPalindromicPrime. The script is also available for download.

Acronis Disk Director 12 is a comprehensive hard drive management tool that comes packed with essential functionality.
The program provides a host of options for handing disks and volumes. It's able to create and work with basic, dynamic, spanned, striped and mirrored volumes; there are all kinds of conversion options (convert between basic and dynamic disks, primary and logical volumes, GPT and MBR disks, more); and of course it can resize, move, copy, split or merge volumes without losing any data.
There are tools to cope with most situations. Disk Director can clone your disk to a replacement drive; split it into two, ready for installing another operating system on the second volume; recover a lost or damaged partition, and more.
Perhaps most usefully, Disk Director can run from a bootable CD, DVD or USB key, enabling you to work on systems even if Windows won't boot.
That's a lot of power, but fortunately you don't have to be an expert in drive management to use the program. Just click a drive or partition and a left-hand sidebar displays the various actions you can use. Many of these are very straightforward ("Format", "Change letter", "Defragment", "Check", "Browse files"), and the more complex actions ("Resize", "Move", "Copy", "Split", "Merge") have well-designed wizards to walk you through every step.
Disk Director 12 brings enhanced compatibility:
- The program runs on any edition of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1
- When creating WinPE 4.0 or 5.0 boot discs you're able to download and use the latest version of the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit
- Both WinPE and Linux-based boot discs are now fully compatible with UEFI-based systems
Please note, this demo version of Acronis Disk Director will only carry out volume operations whose initial and resulting size is a maximum of 100MB.
Acronis Disk Director provides a powerful collection of hard drive tools, yet a very well-designed interface means it's always easy to use. Well worth a look, particularly if you're intimidated by the complexities of some similar products

Another conviction for the often arrested 'Hugging Bandit'
Myra Castleberry, 54, who has gained international attention over the years as Buffalo's "Hugging Bandit," added to her string of criminal convictions Tuesday.
Castleberry pleaded guilty to fourth-degree grand larceny, her seventh felony conviction. She also has 44 previous misdemeanor convictions.
In court, after her 60th arrest, Castleberry admitted stealing a wallet from a 35-year-old man's pants pocket July 22, while he negotiated a cab fare near Jim's Steakout on Allen Street and Elmwood Avenue.
Her prior crimes include hugging tipsy men while picking their pockets.
The Genesee-Moselle neighborhood resident entered her plea before Erie County Judge Thomas P. Franczyk, who committed to a prison sentence of 18 months to three years.
The fourth-degree grand larceny charge carries a maximum prison sentence of up to four years.
Assistant District Attorney Jaharr S. Pridgen asked that Castleberry be held in custody pending her June 19 sentencing, and the judge agreed.
At Castleberry's arraignment in December, Laura El-Bahtity, her Lagal Aid Bureau attorney, said the prosecution's case relied on an identification by a witness who was first shown a single photograph. The defense lawyer called it "a case solely based on identification."
Ruling on a motion before the plea, the judge said he would allow the witness identification of Castleberry through a police photo array to be admitted as evidence in the case against her.
In past years, Castleberry has been arrested for distracting intoxicated men in the city's entertainment district by fondling them and then stealing their wallets.

ed. note: this post is by Jeff Phillips. For another recent post on arxiv publishing issues, see Hal Daume on the arxiv, NLP and ML.
It seems that over the last few months, the number of papers posted to the arXiv has been noticeably increasing, especially in the categories of Computational Geometry and Data Structures and Algorithms.
I have posted several (but not all) of my papers on the arXiv. I still do not have a consistent set of rule under which I post the papers. Here are a couple circumstances under which I have posted paper to the arXiv.
A: Along with Proceedings Version:
When conference version does not have space for full proofs, so in conjunction with proceedings version, post full version to arXiv. This is a placeholder for the full version until the journal version appears. Additionally, the arXiv paper can be updated when the final journal version appears if it has changed.
Sometimes, I link to the arXiv version in the proceedings version. This makes it easy for a reader of the proceedings to find the full proofs.
If more conferences move to the SODA model where proceedings versions can be much longer (~20 pages), then this situation may not often be necessary.
B: Along with Submitted Version:
When you want to advertise a piece of work, but it has only been submitted, post a version to arXiv. This is useful if you are giving talks on the work, and want a documented time stamp so you can't get scooped, or say, you are applying for jobs and want to make your work very available and public.
This is closer to the math philosophy where many (most?) people submit a version of a paper to arXiv as soon as they submit it to a journal. I think it would be great if CS adapted this policy, as it would be a lot easier to track results. I have a friend who as a math graduate student would start every day by perusing the dozen or so new arXiv post in his area and choosing one paper to read. He told me that almost every paper he read as a grad student was on the arXiv. Wouldn't a world like that be extremely convenient?
However, I have had an issue following this rule. Last year I submitted a paper to a conference and concurrently, submitted a longer version to the arXiv. The paper was unfortunately, not accepted to the conference. My coauthor and I extended the results to the point where it made sense to split the paper. Half was then submitted and accepted to another conference, and full proofs were made available through a tech report at my coauthor's institution, as he was required to do. The second half which has also been extended is now under submission.
I might like to post the (full) second half to the arXiv, but do not want to double the part from the previous post. I am not sure if it make sense to merge the papers at this point either. And I would also like to note on the arXiv page that that version has been extended and part appears as a tech report.
What is the proper arXiv etiquette for this situation?

Useful definitions to understand the concepts we use. Alianzo counts with three measuring systems.:
1- Alianzo Score
Alianzo Score is a value between 0 and 100 which is the result of the measurement parameters used by Alianzo in each of the profiles. These parameters try to measure the engagement and the activity of each social network.
Alianzo score is calculated for each type of social media and for each type of profile.
In addition, the Global Alianzo Score is calculated and displayed in the Alianzo Rank section. This score is calculated by adding the score given to each of the social networks weighted by the importance attached by Alianzo to each social network.View more
2- Alianzo Stars
Alianzo Stars is the assessment done from Alianzo for every profile. It takes into account its score on Alianzo Score 2.0. It is calculated as follows:
- Five yellow stars grade the highest score possible, which is 100. This profile will be the number one of its ranking.
- Five green stars grade the profiles that score between 80 and 99.
- Four green stars grade those profiles that score between 60 and 79.
- Three green stars grade those profiles that score between 40 and 59.
- Two green stars encompass those profiles that score between 20 and 39.
- One green star is used for those profiles with a score between 0 and 19.

We 3 gmas baked Olive Cheese Loaves
Helen chose this bake. The lead in picture is her crumb. Watching Martha Stewart bakes on YouTube.com was what really convinced us to do the bake... She made this bread look so good and so easy... Good and Easy are two of our favorite ingredients!!!
Here is the dough. Helen's comment was that this was a nice little "cheesy" dough ball... looks great! The dough was moist and somewhat sticky. Nice and soft.
Baked up beautifully. Check out those lovely olive slices.
This bread is so very good as toast! With freshly sliced tomato, with sliced mozzarella, with peach preserves... great with just about anything. Makes a good little "pizza bread" with pizza toppings.
Barb used jalapeno's and cheddar... there was an olive "sneaker" in the family olive jar...
Those two sisters of mine are some great bakers... wonderful, wonderful.... Other than Lucy stealing olives, no other appearances in their kitchens... Helen also baked Sourdough bread and Barb also baked Tartine bread, busy breadies those sisters!
My bake went well too... first time I tried the putting a glob of wet dough in a hot pot...
With the lighting... this really reminds me of the OLD movie... the Blob! Or a real brain loaf... LOL...
I was thinking that was going to be really hard to get into a hot pot!
But the parchment paper helped and even I ended up with a pretty good looking bread!
One of the best breads we have made... I was thinking it would be good with Salami cubes and Swiss cheese... sounds good to me.
We have a new cookbook "Ina Garten" and we are planning next week's bake... See you then.
Happy Baking... Helen, Diane, and Barbra (youngest to eldest)

Celebrating organic farming in ZimbabweJun 16, 2014
It is celebration time for the 450 members of Makoni Organic Farmers Association (MOFA), residents of a rural community in Zimbabwe who are literally making waves globally after winning the coveted Equator Prize 2014. Supported by the Global Environment Facility's Small Grants Programme (GEFSGP) of UNDP, the farmers are leading the way in environmental conservation and sustainable use of resources for livelihood improvement and poverty reduction.
"This award encourages us to have more strength and desire to go forward" relates the group's chairperson, Mrs Sifelanani Zvigerenani. "We had never imagined that what we were doing would take us this far. This has been really a dream come true" explains the team leader.
Reflecting on this accomplishment, GEFSGP Programme Officer Mrs Tsitsi Watawunashe attributes the success to sustained technical and financial support as well as forging necessary linkages with government, NGOs, academia and the private sector.
"The critical element is achieving tangible results that can speak for themselves," she says.
Established as a community development organization in 2007, the Makoni Organic Farmers Association, supported by Organic Network Forum (ONF), a local NGO, focussed on training and raising awareness on organic farming in Makoni area, located about 40 kilometres east of Harare. This entailed mobilisation of farmers and sensitisation in organic farming as an alternative to tobacco farming.
However, the turning point was a USD $ 50,000 funding from the GEFSGP in 2011 that the farmers used to scale up their activities in organic farming by establishing seven organic gardens and receiving more training on organic farming. The association complemented SGP funding through co-financing mainly in kind by providing locally available materials and labour.
This effort culminated in their certification as organic farmers in 2012 by Zimbabwe Organic Producers and Promoters Association (ZOPPA) which is a local agent for organic certification and compliance registered under the International Federation for Organic Agriculture Movement (IFOAM). It was one of the first groups in Zimbabwe to receive this organic certification. The certification is heralds a major breakthrough because it will enable the group to access regional and international markets.
Integrating principles of sustainable land management, gender mainstreaming and food security, MOFA has enhanced community resilience through diversified agricultural production. This ranges from organic dry land farming and organic horticulture production to nursery management, mushroom production, aquaculture, beekeeping and agro-forestry.
The Association has played a significant role in influencing policy in Zimbabwe. It worked closely with Organic Network Forum and ZOPPA that were involved in the formulation of the Zimbabwe Organic Standards that were approved by the Standards Association of Zimbabwe (SAZ) in 2012 and registered with the African Regional Intellectual Property Organization (ARIPO).
With the 2014 Equator Prize that comes with a cash award of USD$ 5000 and additional $ 15, 000 for those in the 'special recognition' category, MOFA intends to procure fencing materials to extend the 7 gardens from 0,4 hectares to 2 hectares so as to increase crop production. Other priorities include establishing a marketing centre complete with cooling facilities and ensuring regular water and electricity supply.
"We also need to procure a truck for the Association for transporting produce and improve water extraction methods in the gardens by having solar pumps," says Mrs Sifelanani.
The Equator Prize "recognizes outstanding local sustainable development solutions for people, nature and resilient communities." In 2014, the Initiative received a record-setting 1, 234 nominations from 121 countries around the world. However, only thirty-five winners shared the prestigious prize globally in the announcement made on 5 June, 2014 to coincide with the World Environment Day.

I grew up in the dragstar era.
At 44, 10 kgs over weight and with only straps and trying a bunny hop I can picture myself on the local news being loaded into an ambulance with an 'eye witness' being interviewed, "Yeah, I saw th whole thing. He thought he was 15 again, riding a BMX, mind you BMX weren't around then but a man can dream. Anyhow, he came to the railway line and tried to bunny hop. It all came unstuck when his foot popped out of the strap, you see he wasn't wearing clipless, and it his bike just went down under him and took out the four guys behind him."

|- no_rehash
|- debug
|- stats
|- disconnect_all
new Takes one parameter, a hashref of options. The most important key is servers, but that can also be set later with the set_servers method. The servers must be an arrayref of hosts, each of which is either a scalar of the form 10.0.0.10:11211 or an arrayref of the former and an integer weight value. (The default weight if unspecified is 1.) Its recommended that weight values be kept as low as possible, as this module currently emulates weights by having multiple identical servers.
Use compress_threshold to set a compression threshold, in bytes. Values larger than this threshold will be compressed by set and decompressed by get.
Use readonly to disable writes to backend memcached servers. Only get and get_multi will work. This is useful in bizarre debug and profiling cases only.
set_servers Sets the server list this module distributes key gets and sets between. The format is an arrayref of identical form as described in the new constructor. set_readonly Sets the readonly flag. See new constructor for more information. set_compress_threshold Sets the compression threshold. See new constructor for more information. enable_compress Temporarily enable or disable compression. Has no effect if compress_threshold isnt set, but has an overriding effect if it is. get my $val = $memd->get($key);
Retrieves a key from the memcache. Returns the value (automatically thawed with Storable, if necessary) or undef.
The $key can optionally be an arrayref, with the first element being the hash value, if you want to avoid making this module calculate a hash value. You may prefer, for example, to keep all of a given users objects on the same memcache server, so you could use the users unique id as the hash value.
get_multi my $hashref = $memd->get_multi(@keys);
Retrieves multiple keys from the memcache doing just one query. Returns a hashref of key/value pairs that were available.
This method is recommended over regular get as it lowers the number of total packets flying around your network, reducing total latency, since your app doesnt have to wait for each round-trip of get before sending the next one.
set $memd->set($key, $value[, $exptime]);
Unconditionally sets a key to a given value in the memcache. Returns true if it was stored successfully.
The $key can optionally be an arrayref, with the first element being the hash value, as described above.
The $exptime (expiration time) defaults to never if unspecified. If you want the key to expire in memcached, pass an integer $exptime. If value is less than 60*60*24*30 (30 days), time is assumed to be relative from the present. If larger, its considered an absolute Unix time.
add $memd->add($key, $value[, $exptime]);
Like set, but only stores in memcache if the key doesnt already exist.
replace $memd->replace($key, $value[, $exptime]);
Like set, but only stores in memcache if the key already exists. The opposite of add.
delete $memd->delete($key[, $time]);
Deletes a key. You may optionally provide an integer time value (in seconds) to tell the memcached server to block new writes to this key for that many seconds. (Sometimes useful as a hacky means to prevent races.) Returns true if key was found and deleted, and false otherwise.
incr $memd->incr($key[, $value]);
Sends a command to the server to atomically increment the value for $key by $value, or by 1 if $value is undefined. Returns undef if $key doesnt exist on server, otherwise it returns the new value after incrementing. Value should be zero or greater. Overflow on server is not checked. Be aware of values approaching 2**32. See decr.
decr $memd->decr($key[, $value]);
Like incr, but decrements. Unlike incr, underflow is checked and new values are capped at 0. If server value is 1, a decrement of 2 returns 0, not -1.
Any in libmemcache plus many others of my own.

Timber Producer Certification in Michigan: Self-Regulation vs. State Regulation
Which form of regulation is better for solving problems, protecting consumers and the environment and encouraging rational economic planning-regulation by government or regulation by industry through free markets and incentives? Michigan State University Forestry Professor and Mackinac Center Scholar Dr. Potter-Witter argues for a self-certification model that could be applied to other industries. She also provides a thorough review of the Michigan timber market and a timely survey of literature on occupational licensing. 23 pages.

Like what you see? Vauxhall's newest SUV, the Grandland X, hits our streets in early 2018. And it's more than just a pretty face – a cavernous boot, powerful engines and bags of technology including OnStar mean that few other SUVs on the road can match its abilities.
The Grandland X made its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2017 – so keep returning to this site for further updates.
Looks aren't everything, but in the case of the Grandland X they certainly help. A distinctively designed gloss-black grille, sculpted bonnet, muscular wheel arches and silver skid plates give the car a domineering road presence. You can make your Grandland stand out even more with an optional "floating" coloured roof.
The spacious cabin of the Grandland X ensures that you are ready for any adventure. A vast 1,652 litres of boot space and 60/40 split rear folding seats mean that you can fit everything but the kitchen sink inside (or even that too, if you're so inclined). Meanwhile the high quality of the interior materials and high seating position will make you feel like king or queen of the road.
OnStar service is fitted to every Grandland X model as standard. It uses its advanced technology to ensure the highest standard of safety for drivers. If an airbag is deployed, OnStar will be alerted automatically, an advisor will contact you and (if necessary) an emergency vehicle will be dispatched to your location. OnStar also turns Grandland X into a 4G LTE mobile Wi-Fi hotspot.
As well as style and comfort, the cabin offers access to an enormous range of driver assistance technology. Standard equipment includes the manufacturer's sophisticated IntelliLink audio systems (compatible with Apple or Android smartphones) and a large touchscreen, whilst the heated windscreen is available as an optional extra. The traction-enhancing IntelliGrip is another notable innovation, and is accompanied by a host of active safety systems from ESP to Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection.
Contact Bellinger to stay in touch with the latest news and developments on the All-New Vauxhall Grandland X, arriving at Bellinger in 2018.
Official Government Test Environmental Data. Fuel consumption figures mpg (litres/100km) and CO2 emissions (g/km). Grandland X Range: Urban MPG: TBC, Extra-Urban MPG: TBC, Combined MPG: – TBC. CO2 Emissions: TBC. #Official EU-regulated test data are provided for comparison purposes and actual performance will depend on driving style, road conditions and other non-technical factors.

Well technically not even Samui, Yamato and Anko are dead. Anko might be revived by Itachi and then she can get a few panels being in the spotlight. Yamato might also be alive, if i remember correctly he was in Tobi's hideout half built in into the cells of Hashirama. Samui was simply sealed inside some megical device, probably can be removed from it somehow (she has too large boobs to die). I'm also disappointed by this, this war is a noname average ninja holocaust but not even one of the named ninja died, it's simply too unrealistic. Some new names were introduced in this war, so i was thinking these were introduced to be killed off in the war, for example the older general from the lighting village, he was a perfect candidate to die. Then when nobody died i thought maybe Kishimoto is waiting for Tobi's entrance to kill them, but he simply placed the Tobi-Naruto fight in a distant place, and then he made sure that by the time the alliance arrives to the place all the tailed beasts are sealed away.
I think the best candidates for death are the two older kages, but for them to die now, there should be a good reason. Some chapters ago I thought that these kages to build up the tension and suspense that's needed before the hero (Naruto) comes to save the world. But now it seems that they'll just be used as measuring sticks for Madara's powers, and so this Madara (maybe merged with Tobi or some other way) and Sasuke and Naruto will be the final level of power, all being well beyond kage level (of course for that Sasuke and Naruto will need another powerup). So now it seems that the kages will all survive, later they'll just become some kind of elders that can help Naruto in different ways but not being in the center of the story any more.

The fact that being genetically superior means that you are better than most everybody has become an absolute fact of this manga with the whole RS descendant/Minato's son crap.

But death does cost the story in terms of moving the plot along. It can be mentioned a dozen no-names got killed off screen in one panel then back to the story without missing a beat. A named character's death must receive build up (flashbacks and such) and closure (more flashbacks, other characters shown mourning) in order to have impact. The more important the character, the more time spent with their death. Readers expect it. For a named character, there's going to be at least a page or two devoted to just showing the others remember them. If a major character dies (like Sandaime) probably they're going to receive an entire chapter focused on their passing.
Considering that, I can see why Kishi and other mangaka are reluctant to constantly string deaths together even though it might make things more intense. It would bog down the rest of the story. Still, I would've liked to seen one or two deaths squeezed in by now.

I understand not wanting to kill any of the teenagers. Even those with no real relevance like Kankuro, Temari, or Tenten. But anyone introduced during the Kage Summit, or over the age of 30, should of been fair game. The idea of the next generation taking over for the previous one, works a lot better when the previous one isn't around to hold their hands.
If no one is really in danger, than what is the point of Madara vs. the Kages? Other than a light show and big explosions? I am not saying you have to have death to make a fight interesting. But it is ridiculous not one name character has dropped in a war against immortal zombies and their hax powers.

Naruto used to be my favorite anime & manga - but it feels as though its been dragging on too long. I mean, the story that revolves around the protagonist hasn't had much progress in the last 3-5 years. Sasuke still isn't back, he's gotten worse - to the point he will kill his home village given the chance.
Naruto is still as brainless as ever, only to receive random "Power Ups" ever year, hence he's the "Chosen One". This war was truly genius as soon as Madara came into play. But its clear he will be trolled by T in upcoming weeks. This manga is based on past hatred and situations being reborned/reincarnated right? Well, H beat M somehow, so its clearly obvious H descendant will get a Nakama power up and beat M.
I just wish this plot jumped - my patience is running on fumes.

Any last shred of hope to see one of the rookies in the slightest amount of real danger disappeared the moment we learned Pain had only wounded Hinata.
I mean think this through : the author didn't even have the balls to kill her knowing she would be revived a few chapters later.
They are for all intent and purpose more immortal than any Edo-Tensei.

Even kakashi, was tossed aside, but he clearly came back.
This begs the question if the anime is truly going to end abruptly or drag on another decade.
Your thoughts?

One could also say that when Nagato saw Hinata defending Naruto he briefly remembered his childhood, when he defended Yahiko, when Konan saved him from death, so his subconscious forced him to not hit a vital point and let Hinata survive. But that's just trying to make more sense of it

by the time naruto reached nagato for their face to face, he was much calmer and I believe would have negotiated for peace and tried to understand where nagato was coming from regardless of who he thought was still dead or not. I'm sure it was a relief to hear she was alive, but I don't see it as a game changer, when kakashi (someone who means much more to him than hinata) is lying dead on the same battlefield he just left
edit: I do also believe though that kishi wussed out and wasn't willing to have her die at all. I just disagree about it effecting naruto's will to the extent you're implying

If we remove this reasoning from the equation than killing Hinata would be the best thing for dramatic effect. A death has always much more impact than just being wounded. And i think Kishimoto would have done that if he knows that she will be revived anyway.

Nagato had already murdered Jiraiya, Kakashi, Shizune, hundreds of others and leveled Konoha to the ground. Adding Hinata to the list changed nothing, litteraly nothing since Naruto's decision would have been vindicated anyway with Nagato reviving everybody.
No, Kishimoto just won't really kill one of the kids. Chouji, Neji and Gaara had more than proven that already and Hinata was the final nail in the (absent of) coffin.

At Wednesday's Community Board 5 meeting, representatives from the Parks Department unveiled the design for improvements to the park's spray showers. The $2 million project will update the play area and add several enhancements.
"We are going to keep the existing footprint," said Theresa Dewey, a project manager with the Parks Department. "We just want to update it, make it more interactive and a little more fun for families and children."
Officials will take away the decorative rubber mats in the spray shower, which Dewey said weren't in good condition and couldn't withstand the water's wear-and-tear.
"The drainage works pretty well in this spray shower area," she said. "The rubber mats aren't holding up that great, so we will remove those."
They will add new colored concrete pavement and design it in a circular shape to match the layout with the playground and other planting areas. The project will also add new benches and trees to some of the empty tree pits.
"We will be using color concrete and colorful spray fixtures that will make it nice and add a good accent to the playground," she said.
Dewey said the plan calls for lowering the steel perimeter fence from four feet to two-and-a-half feet by the entrance.
The spray zone is broken into two areas: the youth and active zone and a child and family zone. The active zone will feature upright spay elements, water cannons and ground spray elements.
The family zone will be more relaxed, with mostly ground sprays for the children. The area will remain flat, Dewey said, for other potential performance activities at the space.
Community board members offered a few suggestions, such as offsetting entrances to prevent bicycles from from riding straight through the park and adding bumps on top of fence to prevent skateboarders sliding on top. Dewey said she will look into all of the recommendations.
Parks officials are scheduled to finish the design by the end of the year. Construction will likely start in the summer of 2018, with an open date by summer 2019. This summer, Dewey said, the spray showers will still be in use.
The running track and soccer field at Juniper Valley Park are also set to be renovated, according to Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley. The $8 million project already has the necessary funding.
However, construction can't start until renovations to Frank Principe Park's ballfields in Maspeth are complete.
"The reason we can't do Juniper Park is because we would have no place to put the football and soccer players that depend on Brennan Field," Crowley said at the CB5 meeting. "Although it is in dire need, that's the way the process is working within the Parks Department."
Once officials break ground at Principe Park, which is scheduled for early fall, the design process will begin for the Juniper Valley Park's renovations.
"So when [Principe Park] is finished, which should be under a year," Crowley said, "you'll be ready to put the shovel in the ground."
