Sorry, but I'm laughing way too hard at the people who aren't careful about who is nearby when they watch any 'choose the girl' based material... much less stuff rated 'adult' that came off of a pay-channel in Japan.
Moral: do your research, eh?

The "toilet?" almost made me spit my drink, that line came out of nowhere and Haru looked so serious when he said it
Things definitely moved at a lightning fast pace (the bath scene happened way too soon in my opinion, they should have kept it for the next episode) but the great directing made it work more or less fine. The soundtrack is so, so good. I can't help but relax when I hear those wonderful tunes. It adds a lot to the atmosphere of the anime.
Another reason I loved this episode was that Sora got quite a bit of screentime. My heart melts everytime I see her. I'm dying to see her arc...

Yep, as expected, enjoyed this episode more than the previous arc/girl. I think the fact that I like Akira better than Kazuha has something to do with it, although I agree that it's been way too fast. Not just the bath scene, but the inconsistency with how they go to festival straight away whereas we saw in Kazuha's arc that there's been quite some time between them. Would really like to see Akira to get 3 episodes for her arc, but alas...
Oh, but there's still the twist with who Akira's real mother is. It's possible that it's just someone we haven't seen before, but it being Kazuha's real mom (maybe this means that Kazuha is the bastard daughter?) is pretty likely as well. For a crazy, impossible theory, what if it's Haru's mother? After all, we'll get the incest end with Sora anyway, so why stop at one? Yeah, I'm completely kidding with the last one.

In a way, "to be or not to be" between Kazuha and Haru is the main conflict of her arc, while for Akira it lies elsewhere - as evident from this episode, the focus is going to be on her own missing mother, the situation with Kazuha's mother, and the missing pendant. That is a lot of stuff to handle in 2 episodes. On the other hand, there is less to throw a wrench at the romance side. While the romance buildup suffers because of this, it can't really be helped and i understand why they made the choices they did - there is a lot to be done, and by largely "getting it over with" on the romance side gives them more time to do it. And adds an additional motivation boost for Haru to get involved on Akira's behalf.
So ... yeah. Suffice to say, a lot needs to be sacrificed in order to cram it all in to 2 episodes, and Akira's arc may well be the least suited for such treatment. 2 episodes is what they have though, so nothing to be done there. It is a shame the relationship development gets to suffer because of it, but some sacrifices needed to be made if they actually want to cover everything they should in terms of plot, and it just so happens the romance aspect in this case is the easiest to "trim down", so to speak. That is not to say i am satisfied with the whole deal being crammed in such a small timeframe (goes for the anime as a whole), but i think the director is doing a credible job within the constraints he is forced to work with.

Its quite sad that they can only have 2 episodes for each arc unlike Amagami with 4 episodes... It sorta speeds through the romance as you said Skyfall, trying to cram everything in there... The bath scene in fast pace seemed to be put well.. If it wasn't for the fact that it only had 2 episodes..

I think the pacing is fine. I mean, it's fast of course, but it's not too fast.
To be honest the 4 episodes / 5 episodes each story thing is imo doing a better job than some OVAs having the same amount of episodes (though to be frank I can't think of examples right now) in terms of pacing, amount of events etc.
I can't imagine them doing more than 13 episodes with this kind of format either.
Whether the pacing would be more favourable if it was 24~26 episodes is questionable but it would kinda make the resetting to a certain point a bit more difficuilt as there'd probably be more important things to remember, which isn't like eating candy considering it's 4 different stories.
And only watching your favoured arc(s) isn't too good either since each story kinda sets the other stories up in regards to background info and such.
edit: Actually, considering that Amagami has the same format (or so I heard since I don't watch it) my above comment was probably bullshit and might just refer to my personal position. <.<
On another note, I actually have quite a few friends that would have liked the bathing scene to be more detailed and longer (and I personally wouldn't have minded it either).
Yeah, uh... don't mind me.

The problem is that you would need Kazuha as the romance interest in such case, and it will be a bit too jarring to merge Kazuha's deep guilt towards Akira, whereas you have to unfold what's up with Akira's past (which would contradict the reason for Kazuha's guilt with Haru).

Whoa. That was intense. So much emotion, positive and negative. Things are moving smoothly too. The hunt for the necklace was dumb though. There ain't no way it's still there, even if there was a landslide. The bath scene was good too. I am really liking how they aren't censoring anything, as in omitting the sex like in F/SN.
And swimsuit play...

Atlantic Sun play in full swing as ETSU heads for the Music City
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (September 29, 2011) – The ETSU women's soccer team heads for Nashville this weekend, as the Lady Bucs get back into conference play against Lipscomb on Friday in the Lipscomb Soccer Complex at 7:30 p.m. before battling Belmont on Sunday inside E.S. Rose Park at 1 p.m.
ETSU (6-3-0, 1-0-0 A-Sun) began conference play last weekend when they welcomed USC Upstate into Summers-Taylor Stadium and shutout the Spartans, 4-0. The Lady Bucs went up in the eighth minute when freshman Jenna Caudle (Middletown, Md.) buried her team-leading sixth goal of the year, as ETSU spread the wealth with goals from sophomore Samantha Kron (Paradise Valley, Ariz.) and freshmen Taylor Maxson (Lewisville, Texas) and Kristi Davis (Edmond, Okla.).
On Sunday, ETSU played its final non-conference match of the year and shutout its second-consecutive opponent in UNC Asheville, 3-0. Senior Genna Petersen (Loveland, Ohio) scored twice to record her second multi-goal game of the season, and sophomore Lucy Goffe (Birmingham, England) added her second goal of the year off a Kron corner. The assist was Kron's third off corner kicks this year.
Posting two shutouts and making 11 saves through the weekend, senior goalkeeper Caitlin Gaughan (Indianapolis, Ind.) earned A-Sun Defensive Player of the Week honors. It was Gaughan's first defensive player of the week honor, and the first for a Lady Buc since Rachel Van Horn did so the week of October 15, 2007.
Heading into the weekend, the Lady Bucs lead the A-Sun multiple offensive and defensive categories. ETSU is first in the A-Sun in goals (25), assists (22) and points (72), while ranking second in goals allowed (8) and goals against average (0.85).
Caudle and Petersen have combined for nine goals and four assists to lead the Lady Bucs' attack. With a goal against Upstate and an assist against Asheville, Caudle is currently riding a point-scoring streak of seven-consecutive games.
Lipscomb (2-8-1, 0-2-0 A-Sun) kicked off its conference schedule last weekend with road games against Mercer and Kennesaw State, but dropped both while being outscored by a combined 7-0. With the two losses, the Lady Bisons have now dropped five straight games – their last win coming Sept. 9 against Southern Mississippi, 3-1.
Meghan McGuire leads the Lady Bisons with four goals, but has not scored since netting two goals in the match against Southern Mississippi.
Belmont (5-4-0, 2-0-0 A-Sun) heads into the weekend as winners of three straight games, including a 2-0 mark to start the conference season. The Bruins defeated Kennesaw State on Friday, 2-1, before traveling to Mercer and taking down the Bears, 1-0, on Sunday for their first win over Mercer in program history.
Alex Morgado played hero in the Mercer game, winning the match with a header in the 96th minute. The goal was Morgado's second of the season to trail the team-leader, Taylor Smith, by one goal.

Revision as of 12:51, October 27, 2008
The Distinguished Service Award was created in 1940 to honor those who rendered service to the Order beyond the lodge level. The award is presented to those Arrowmen who have rendered distinguished and outstanding service to the Order on a sectional, regional, or national basis. The award is presented every two years during NOAC. Since the time of the first awards were presented, approximately 500 Distinguished Service Awards have been presented.
The award is a sterling silver arrowhead, bearing an arrow pointing upward and to the wearer's right, suspended from a white neck-ribbon upon which are embroidered red arrows. A white square knot embroidered upon red cloth is also available. Presentation of the award is limited; nominations are open to both youth and adult.

It is important to take the time and focus on building a partnership between your top fitness professional and your sales manager, to build revenue from aggressive member retention.
Step 1
Create a pathway for fitness professionals to move into management and fast track them through training that focuses on the number of sales and the projected member retention percentages to date. Hire from within and create a vision of growth for those focused on the success of the facility. The plan should establish a salary-based position rather than a pay per class or per session pay position. The fitness professional's position must be elevated to allow inspection of the facility's operations, as well as build and supervise a team of group fitness and personal trainers determined to increase profits, member service and retention through the creation of classes, group trainings, marketing and follow up. Following is an example of a system of inspection used by a successful companion in management team:
- Have your personal trainers met monthly sales goals?
- Are trainers' hours posted for management and staff?
- Do trainers and fitness consultants write in a "follow up" book after orientations with new members?
- Have trainers scheduled weekly hours to work in the facility?
- Have trainers contacted companions in management for extended leave from the facility?
- Are yearly class evaluations, auditions and reviews conducted?
- Are tracking sheets of group fitness classes maintained?
- Is the team fully staffed and trained as to the club's standards in assessment procedures, paperwork and quotas?
Step 2
Address any untapped resources the fitness professional holds, including the database of members supporting your fitness classes and programs. When including this large number of members in decision making, your paired management team can create future programs, seminars and promotions that will keep members evolving rather than revolving in and out of your facility. Members involved in the creation of new programs and promotions become a source of duplication often overlooked when sales professionals only focus on duplication at the point of sale. Member appreciation events should be planned and invitations to seminars and special programs should be sent, all of which will make the members more involved and more apt to resign at renewal time. Member's fitness results and testimonials should be posted and members of long standing should be noticed as members of the month. All of this will lead to increased retention percentages.
Member satisfaction will increase when the management team focuses on designing a system that includes fitness goals for new members at the point of sale.
Step 3
The management pair can bridge the gap between the contract signing and the first workout by introducing the member to a certified team member that can design a workout for the member's body type and goal. By introducing a new member to the group fitness professional the new member will ease into a class schedule best suited for his or her needs. The attention given to personal needs at the point of sale has been an overwhelming success in increasing new member satisfaction.
Step 4
Develop a dual management team and share the responsibility of staff training. Training should include instruction on customer service, extending beyond quotas, gross and percentages. Training on the machinery, specialized equipment, and program formats, must be the focus as the trainee attempts to sort through the club's policies and procedures. The trainee's relationships made on the workout floor will be important as he or she grows within the facility and as a staff member.
After developing a companionship in management team, the first experience for your new members will include:
- An increase in usage and confidence knowing the workout was designed by a certified professional.
- An assurance that all customer concerns and issues will be handled professionally by all staff members.
- An awareness that they will have a voice in programming in the future.
- Comfort in knowing that if their sales professional is absent that they will find a standard of service and knowledge from all staff members.

A crucial goal for the Large Hadron Collider is to find the long-sought Higgs boson. It might also create another Higgs particle that only travels through hidden dimensions, meaning it can pop in and out of any point in time.
Since the Higgs boson is the missing subatomic particle of the standard model of physics, the search for it hogs most of the headlines. (For a good breakdown on the Higgs boson, check out Dr. Dave Goldberg's earlier post.) But Vanderbilt theoretical physicists Tom Weiler and Chui Man Ho have imagined another kind of Higgs particle known as the Higgs singlet, and their calculations suggest it might be the weirdest particle we've yet imagined.
Their calculations depend on M-theory, a branch of string theory that posits the existence of at least ten to eleven dimensions, the majority of which are hidden from our comprehension. Although M-theory is seriously complex and not easily summarized, for our purposes we just need to know that, in general, these hidden dimensions generally don't interact with those that we experience, although some forces such as gravity are predicted to bleed between them. Indeed, this is why some physicists predict the LHC's incredibly high energy collisions will create short-lived micro black holes, which would be remnants of the interactions with extra dimensions.
With the Higgs singlet, the idea is that it would only exist in the fifth dimension, and that means it wouldn't be bound by any of the dimensions of our universe, including time. When the Higgs singlet decays into more ordinary particles, these would be deposited back into our normal universe, but - and here's the crucial bit - they would be detected at a completely arbitrary time.
Theoretically, the LHC could create a Higgs singlet whose decay particles appeared at the exact same moment it was created, or they might not be detected for another 10,000 years (that might be a little extreme, but you get the point), or - and this is the really intriguing part - the decay particles could be detected before the singlet itself was even generated.
It's that last bit that makes the detection of the Higgs singlet a fairly easy proposition. After all, if particles are suddenly detected before any collisions are scheduled to occur, then that would be good evidence of the Higgs singlet decaying back into our universe.
The physicists freely admit that this is a seriously out there idea, and they aren't arguing that this is even remotely probable. Still, they insist it doesn't actually violate any laws of physics, and best of all, as Tom Weiler explains, we don't have to worry about time paradoxes:
"One of the attractive things about this approach to time travel is that it avoids all the big paradoxes," Weiler said. "Because time travel is limited to these special particles, it is not possible for a man to travel back in time and murder one of his parents before he himself is born, for example. However, if scientists could control the production of Higgs singlets, they might be able to send messages to the past or future."
I'm not 100% certain, but I'm pretty sure we'll be OK as long as these Higgs singlets don't have grandfathers. That seems to be the trick to paradox-free time travel.

Owl Club of Denver's 2013 debutantes: 20 young ladies curtsy at formal ceremony
Once Breanna Batts learned she was one of the lucky 20 selected for the Owl Club of Denver's debutante Class of 2013, she couldn't wait to share the good news with the four female members of her family who'd been debutantes in years past.
"They told me I was going to have fun and that it would be a life-changing experience," she said. "They were right."
Batts, a graduate of East High School, where she was active in the clubs No Place For Hate and Angels Against Abuse, curtsied at the Owl Club's 62nd Debutante Ball held June 1 at the Marriott City Center.
The daughter of Delia Grant and Michael Grant, Batts will be attending Community College of Denver. She's holding off a bit on declaring a major because "there are so many good things (from which to choose) and I want to be sure I pick the right one."
Those presented with her were Maya Allen, Annastacia Anderson, Genacie Bates, Sierra Blanchard-Hodge, Sydney Brown, Deszane Flowers, Chandler Keesee, Briana Labrie, Alaynah Lanier, Armani Lee, Avion Locke, Aisha May, Lisa Napper, Ainissa Proctor, Shani Riddick, Hannah Speights, Deja Trotman, Char'nae Wilson and Kayla Wright-Jackson.

AUSTIN, Texas (May 9, 2008) - The ETSU women's golf team made up two spots on the team leaderboard Friday, but the Buccaneers are still nine strokes away from the all-important Top 8 entering third and final round play in the NCAA Central Regional Saturday at the University of Texas Golf Club.
Led by a 1-under-par 71 from senior Maria Ringdahl (Farjestaden, Sweden) and a 2-over 74 from junior Lucy Gould (Bargoed, Wales), the Bucs fired a second round score of 302 and are currently nine back of Nebraska, which currently stands eighth on the leaderboard. No. 3 UCLA currently leads the event at even par 576 for the tournament, but the Top 8 teams will receive bids to the NCAA Championships later this month.
"We did make up some ground on two teams, but we still have a lot of work to do tomorrow," said ETSU head coach Stefanie Shelton. "Our seniors stepped up and gave us good efforts today, but we need to post four quality scores tomorrow. We can't have three good scores and have to count a high number."
While Ringdahl showed a great deal of senior leadership and moved to a team-best tie for 23rd on individual leaderboard, sophomore and Atlantic Sun Conference individual champion Laura Jansone (Jurmala, Latvia) struggled on day two. After finishing the first round in the Top 5 individually, Jansone posted an 82 on Friday to drop to a tie for 42nd. Meanwhile, senior Natalia Giraldo (
The Bucs will play final round action on Saturday, with Golfstat.com providing live stats via the Internet. Fans can get a wrap up following the day's action by visiting ETSUBucs.com.

WELLESLEY, MASS. - MIT women's cross country placed third of three teams in the Wellesley Invitational on Saturdayat the Wellesley College campus course. The host team, led by race winner Tracy Bassett, scored 21 points to beat outNew York University (37) and MIT (76).
Bassett's time of 18:33.7set a new record for the 5000 meter circuit, some 40 seconds better than second place, and led a Blue 1-2-3 sweepin the individual results. With several of MIT's top runners resting for next weekend's NEWMAC championship, top Tech honors went to freshman Angelique Moscicki, whogarnered ninth place in a time of 20:41.
Two more rookies, Hana Adaniya (13th) and Carolyn Atwood (18th) followed Moscicki, while juniors Kelly Kuo (19th) and Becky Romotoski (24th) completed the scoring five.

While the music biz celebrated the Grammys Sunday, Hollywood's movie industry decamped to Europe en masse for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards and the Berlin Film Festival. Harvey Weinstein threw a bash in London Friday for BAFTA host Stephen Fry at Little House Mayfair — where guests included "Silver Lings Playbook" stars Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence and "Django Unchained" actor Christoph Waltz — and hosted another party Sunday at Loulou's. Saturday night, UK media consultant Charles Finch hosted his 14th annual BAFTA dinner with Chanel at Annabel's for guests including Tom Cruise, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, Jeremy Renner, Joaquin Phoenix, Chris Tucker and Sally Field. The cast of "Les Misérables" arrived in London Sunday from the Berlin festival, where director Tom Hooper introduced the musical in German after speaking to the audience in French at a recent Paris premiere. George Clooney also arrived from Berlin, where he's filming "The Monuments Men" with Daniel Craig and Matt Damon. (Berlin is particularly star-studded right now since Michael Douglas is also filming there as Ronald Reagan in "Reykjavik.") Back at the BAFTAs, "Les Miz" star Eddie Redmayne was supposed to be a presenter Sunday night, but was "backstage at the Royal Opera House projectile vomiting" because of food poisoning.

6th February 2012: a very special day!
I was lucky enough to be invited to moderate the meeting between Vice-President Neelie Kroes and 12 young creative, talented people – her "Young Advisers".
The goal was to discuss on Digital Agenda for Europe: what is working and what isn't. Everybody was ready to discuss without any fear and to express straight opinions about: entepreneurship and innovation in Europe, IPR, open data, broadband. The Commissioner was listening attentiveley, asking and willing to understand what is working and what can be improved so far. Young advisers asked for less conversation and more action: she took their point and we can see already the impact!
If you dont' believe it just check one of her last speeches this week and how she referrs to the discussion of this meeting on her strong message to Hungarian government (see CommentNeelie.eu). But I hope it doesn't stop here, that there will be a follow up on the actions, more meetings and also on-going online discussion.
In fact, we did it already before the meeting. I had the privilege not only to moderate the discussion last 6th February, but also to facilitate with David Osimo the previous online discussions with the Young advisers to prepare the meeting and make it as useful as possible. Two weeks of intense interaction and discussion on the issues to detect the main problems, to analyze what Europe had done so far and to start suggesting potential actions or best practices to be replicated. Lot of recommendations came up quickly: you can have a look at last post of one of the young advisors, Ewan Mcintosh, to see some of them.
Tim O Reilly, the evangelist of web 2.0, formulated the concept of government as a platform. Government should enable citizens' action and collaboration. As far as I am living it, the Digital Agenda fully embraces this value. Its goals can only been achieved through the collaborative effort of institutions, companies, civil society organizations and individual citizens. Here we have one more attempt to do it, this time with young talented people around Europe.

NEW YORK (AP) - Notre Dame is a victory away from playing for the BCS title. Alabama and Georgia each need two, and could have to go through each other.
A day after Oregon and Kansas State lost to give up control of the BCS race, the Fighting Irish (.9973) moved into first-place in the standings for the first time.
Notre Dame (11-0), ranked No. 1 in both polls and by the computer ratings, needs only to beat slumping rival Southern California on Saturday in Los Angeles to earn its first trip to the BCS title game.
Alabama (.9333) and Georgia (.8763) also have rivalry games Saturday. The Crimson Tide hosts Auburn and the Bulldogs play Georgia Tech at home.
LSU is ranked seventh, the highest ranked two-loss team in the BCS.
If the favorites win, the SEC championship game will be a national semifinal of sorts, with the winner advancing to the BCS title game.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – The Lady Tornado hit three home runs over their two-game set against Newberry College on Monday afternoon. Fallon Thomas kept her hot streak at the plate with two bombs and Christina Melcher added to the trio to combine with solid pitching performances by sophomores Hannah Light and Rachael Wilmoth. King College jumped out to early leads in both games and defeated the Wolves of Newberry College by counts of 9-2 and 4-0.
GAME ONE: Newberry 2, King 9
To support Hannah Light's third complete game victory of the season, King hit their way to an early 3-0 lead when the top of the order made easy work of Newberry starting pitcher Caitlyn Smith, tagging her with three runs in the first inning. Christina Melcher (Orlando, Fla.) put one down the left field line for a double and advanced on a bunt single by Cora Milliken to set the plate for sophomore Fallon Thomas (Bristol, Va.). Thomas found green in center field for the first of her three hits on the day, plating Melcher and giving King a 1-0 lead. After Christy Kooch's sacrifice fly doubled the Lady Tornado lead, and Cassie Ringstaff drove home the third King run of the inning.
Christina Melcher belted her second home run, a solo shot, to give King a 4-0 lead. The Lady Tornado took advantage of an error to extend the fourth inning one extra batter that proved to be costly for the Wolves. Thomas made reliever Shelley Jeffcoat pay when she hit her second home run of the season and first of the twinbill on a towering shot over the left field fence, furthering the lead to six runs.
King added to their lead with a three-run, bottom of the sixth inning on RBI base hits from Christy Kooch and Kendall Brabson plus a bases load walk.
Hannah Light (Coeburn, Va.) handled the rest, tossing her third complete-game win of the season. Light (3-0) allowed six hits and two runs but struck out a season-high seven Newberry batters. She retired the Wolves in order three different times, including the final three outs to end the game.
Both of Newberry's runs came in the sixth inning when Gwenell Crawford's ground out and a single by Jada Crocker plated two Wolves.
Fallon Thomas led the Lady Tornado with three hits, three RBI and two runs scored. The top three batters in the King lineup hit a combined 6-for-11 (.545), recorded four RBI and scored seven of King's nine runs. Christy Kooch and Cassie Ringstaff also had multi-hit days in game one, each with a pair.
GAME TWO: Newberry 0, King 4
Rachael Wilmoth (Morristown, Tenn.) kept the Newberry bats silent, allowing zero runs and a modest four hits on the day for her third complete game, shutout win of the season. The sophomore had control the whole game, striking out four Wolves and walking none. Wilmoth (7-4) forced 12 ground ball outs on 65 pitches through seven innings.
King again did most of their damage in the first inning and benefitted from two errors in the field by Newberry. Fallon Thomas cashed in on the opportunity, blasting her second home run of the day and giving King a quick 2-0 lead. With two outs and a chance to end the inning, Newberry shortstop Brittany Phillips committed her second error of the inning with an errant throw that allowed a third run to score.
Cassie Ringstaff scored King's fourth run on a third error by Phillips when she tried to retire tor Tornado sophomore at third and threw the ball out of the reach of third baseman Shelby Holland. From the fourth inning on, both teams cruised to a 4-0 finish and King's 11th win of the season.
The Lady Tornado improve to 11-9 overall and have built a winning streak that now stands at five games after consecutive sweeps of Belmont Abbey and Newberry. King will play two more non-conference doubleheaders this week, beginning Tuesday (March 20) against state line rival, Virginia Intermont. First pitch is set for 3:00 p.m. at the King College Softball Complex. They will complete their current eight-game homestand with a twinbill against Lincoln Memorial on Thursday, March 22 beginning at 1:00 p.m.

Game Programming Tutorial – Beginners Action Game
Welcome to my game programming tutorial on how to create a beginners action game for the iOS. This is a step by step tutorial for creating an iPhone action game. The principles taught also apply to the iPad.
You can see the result of a game running the code in the video below:
The graphics are a bit different with the tutorial (as some of those in the video are being used in an actual project) but that is the result of running the actual code within the tutorial.
Specificially the tutorial features:
- Loading/Placing Images
- Animation
- Touch Events
- Text
- Sound Effects
- Background Music
- Buttons
- Resetting The Game
Pre-requisites For This Game Programming Tutorial
Now before we start there are a few pre-requisites. You should have a basic understanding of Objective-C and will need a Mac with the iPhone SDK installed. The game was created using iPhone SDK 4.0, and the Sparrow Framework. Also note that I created this to be as easy to follow as possible so I used a minimum number of classes/methods to make it as easy as possible for a beginner to follow – I've even exclusively used autorelease objects so you don't need to worry about memory management (one of the facets of Objective-C many beginners have trouble with).
Why Am I Using The Sparrow Framework In This Game Programming Tutorial?
In case you're wondering why I chose to go the route of using the Sparrow Framework it's because I believe it is the easiest iPhone game development framework available for free for a beginner to start with, and it has already been used in a number of games in the app store.
Please share this tutorial by tweeting it or sharing using one of the buttons at the bottom.
You can navigate through the tutorial by using the page numbers at the bottom of each page.
If you'd like to jump right in you can download a project with all the resources loaded in here.
Getting The Code
You can download the code using the download links at the end of each page, or you can use the Github project found here:
Otherwise if you'd like to go the route of installing Sparrow, and setting everything up you can visit the Sparrow Framework getting started page here which explains the process of setting up an Xcode project that utilizes the Sparrow Framework. You can get just the game assets (graphics/sound) here.
The tutorial is definitely not perfect, and there are probably some spelling/grammar mistakes, but it is the most extensive single tutorial I've seen around and might never be released if I tried to perfect it 🙂
The first thing we're going to do is start the game scene by displaying in a background image, adding the score and level text, and playing some music. To navigate through this game programming tutorial use the page numbers at bottom, now go to page 2 by clicking that number at the bottom of this article to go to that page.
Submit A Resource
Have you created a useful tutorial, library or tool for iOS development that you would like to get in front of our 300,000+ monthly page views from iOS developers?
You can submit the url here.
The resources we feel will appeal to our readers the most will be posted on the front page.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'humira' tag.
I really do love Humira. It has helped me huge crazy lots. All the other medications took me from 10% of normal to 70% of normal, which is pretty great. But Humira has brought me to 95-100% of normal. And I am so grateful!
On the downside … the injections. My rheumy showed me the first time. Two weeks later when it was up to me, I didn't remember how the pen worked. I ended up with a massive bruise, and a slightly bruised ego too. And after a few injections, I discovered that injecting into my belly is not for me. After some hints and tricks from another RA patient, I felt like Humira injections were mastered. And everything has been just ducky for nearly a year.
Today I had a first though … so I thought I'd share. Just because.
I was in the middle of cooking this afternoon and I realized that I had twice ignored my iPhone reminders for my injection. I was afraid I'd forget my dose. So I quick ran upstairs for a bandaid and grabbed my supplies (alcohol swab, injector pen, etc.). In the middle of this cooking endeavor, I stopped to do my injection.
Probably I shouldn't have been rushing. Probably I should have stuck to my usual schedule. But either way … I had a little incident.
When I injected the Humira today I must have hit a blood vessel because I had seriously spurting blood for about 30 seconds. That's never happened before. It was a little freaky … maybe even a bit scary. Thankfully the blood clotted pretty quickly. And hopefully I won't have much of a bruise. Next time I will look for blood vessels close the surface of my skin …
All in the fun day of an RA patient!

(BEDFORD) - David Terrell was sentenced to 14 years in prison for operating a vehicle while intoxicated resulting the death of his fiancee 42-year-old Leslie Mitchell.
"No words can describe the remorse I feel," Terrell read from a prepared letter to Superior Court I Judge Michael Robbins. "I had no closure on the loss of my loved one. I can't help but wonder why it was her life instead of mine."
Mitchell died after Terrell crashed a motorcycle they were riding on attempting to avoid a deer on Ind. 450 West. Terrell swerved to miss the deer and ran off the north side of the roadway, rolling over, throwing both him and Mitchell, from the cycle.
Mitchell suffered head injuries and was rushed from the crash site and then airlifted to Methodist Hospital where she later died.
Terrell pleaded guilty to the Class B felony and admitted he had been drinking and taking prescription medicine before the accident. His blood alcohol content was three times the legal limit for Indiana.
Public defender Lorinda Youngcourt said she has never seen remorse so strong in a defendant before, and the remorse was evident from videotapes recorded by officers at the scene. She also told Judge Robbins she was concerned about Terrell's mental health because of how distraught he was over Mitchell's death.
Deputy Prosecutor Jody Donaldson agreed with Youngcourt about Terrell being remorseful.
But Donaldson also raised aggravating circumstances like Terrell's past dealing with substance abuse with alcohol and marijuana. Terrell was charged with operating while intoxicated in 2011, not even a full year before the fatal accident in October 2012. Donaldson also pointed out that courts had offered Terrell rehabilitation for his addictions more than once, and Terrell rejected them. Terrell has also violated his pre-trial release when he was on house arrest with an electronic monitor.
Donaldson recommended a sentence of 18 years, two years less than the maximum penalty.
"In the court's opinion, remorse has to start early," Robbins said. "It took the death of someone allegedly close to him ... for him to address his addiction. It is easy to feel remorse in the face of a tragedy."
Robbins also rejected a few of the aggravating circumstances Donaldson raised, but still determined the aggravating circumstances outweighed the mitigating circumstances.
Robbins sentenced Terrell to 14 years of prison suspending four years. He will be placed on two years supervised probation and two years unsupervised. Upon the end of his Department of Correction sentence, Terrell's license will be suspended for two years.

Navistar Reports Fourth Quarter Results
-- Reports fourth quarter loss of $2.8 billion, including $2 billion non-cash domestic tax valuation allowance, $149 million in additional pre-existing warranty reserve, on revenue of $3.3 billion
By: PR Newswire
Dec. 19, 2012 07:15 AM
LISLE, Ill., Dec. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Navistar International Corporation (NYSE: NAV) today announced a fourth quarter 2012 net loss of $2.8 billion, or $40.13 per diluted share, compared to fourth quarter 2011 net income of $255 million, or $3.48 per diluted share. Current quarter results included increased non-cash tax expense of $2 billion, or $28.59 per share, for the increase in deferred tax valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets. Fourth quarter 2012 results also included pre-tax charges of $149 million in additional pre-existing warranty expenses primarily related to EPA 2010 big bore engines, $73 million for cost reduction actions, $16 million in charges for the restructuring of North American manufacturing operations and engineering integration and $14 million in non-conformance penalties (NCPs).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120127/MM32830LOGO-a)
The company reported a pre-tax loss of $566 million in the fourth quarter 2012 versus a $275 million pre-tax profit in the fourth quarter 2011. Revenues in the quarter were $3.3 billion, down 24 percent from the fourth quarter of 2011. The loss was reflective of lower sales, as well as the adjustments to pre-existing warranties and the charges related to the cost-reduction actions.
The company exceeded its fiscal year 2012 guidance with $1.5 billion in manufacturing cash and marketable securities. Contributing factors in the fourth quarter included $363 million improvement in working capital and net proceeds of $192 million from an equity offering.
"We continue to make significant progress on our turnaround and the complexity of this quarter's results is reflective of the actions necessary during this time of transition," said Lewis B. Campbell, Navistar chairman and chief executive officer. "The team has delivered numerous successes, including exceeding our cash guidance, launching the ProStar with the ISX 15-liter ahead of schedule and moving forward with several opportunities identified during our ROIC-focused business reviews. Additionally, with the improvement to our manufacturing footprint by closing our Garland, Texas, manufacturing plant and the completion of workforce reductions in North America and South America, we are positioned to exceed our goal of reducing structural costs by $175 million.
"Unfortunately, we saw a spike in warranty spend in late October and early November for the few remaining engine issues and the cost to take the proactive actions to support our customers and fix those items is higher than we anticipated," Campbell continued. "However, the fact is that customer feedback and positive three- and nine-months-in-service data show today we are delivering the highest quality trucks since the 2010 launch, and quality will continue to be our top priority."
The net loss for fiscal year 2012 was $3.0 billion, or $43.56 per diluted share, versus net income for fiscal 2011 of $1.7 billion, or $22.64 per diluted share.
Truck — For the fourth quarter 2012, the truck segment recorded a loss of $160 million, compared with a year-ago fourth quarter profit of $287 million. For the fiscal year 2012, the truck segment recorded a loss of $320 million compared with fiscal year 2011 profit of $336 million.
The segment's 2012 loss was primarily driven by decreased military sales and product mix, higher commodity costs and warranty expense related to extended warranty contracts on 2010 emission engines. The realization of certain benefits from manufacturing cost efficiencies partially offset these factors.
Segment results for fiscal year 2012 included charges of $100 million for the integration of engineering operations, restructuring of North American manufacturing operations and the impact of fourth quarter cost reduction initiatives, compared to $173 million in engineering integration and restructuring charges in fiscal year 2011.
Engine — For the fourth quarter 2012, the engine segment recorded a loss of $287 million, compared with a year-ago fourth quarter profit of $58 million. For the fiscal year 2012, the engine segment posted a loss of $562 million compared to the prior year profit of $84 million. The 2012 loss is predominantly due to increased warranty expense for 2010 emission engines and lower sales at our South American operations.
Segment results for fiscal year 2012 included the company's non conformance penalty charges of $34 million. SG&A and engineering expense were lower by $48 million and $25 million, respectively.
Parts — For the fourth quarter 2012, the parts segment recorded profit of $76 million, compared with a year-ago fourth quarter profit of $87 million. For the fiscal year 2012, the parts segment realized a profit of $240 million compared to the prior year profit of $287 million. The year-over-year decrease was driven by lower military volume partially offset by increased commercial sales and lower SG&A expense.
Financial Services — For the fourth quarter 2012, the financial services segment recorded profit of $16 million, down from fourth quarter 2011 profit of $27 million. For the fiscal year 2012, the financial services segment recorded a profit of $91 million compared to a year-ago profit of $129 million, primarily due to expected lower portfolio balances.
Corporate — For fiscal year 2012, tax expense was $1.8 billion or $25.76 per share. This included the negative impact of the non-cash U.S. valuation allowance of $2.0 billion and a tax benefit of $189 million related to the release of the Canadian valuation allowance. In fiscal 2011, the company realized a $1.5 billion tax valuation release benefit.

Cash For Books/Book Buyback
Need Cash? At the end of the term or semester the University will offer the opportunity to sell your books back if you feel you will no longer need them for future classes or brush up.
Tips on selling your books:
- You may get as much as 50% or as low as 10% of what you paid for your book. The bookstore does not determine what is paid for your used book, it depends on how many books are needed for the following semester.
- Be Early! Don't wait to sell your books. Typically the highest amount paid is early in the buy back when supply of the book is low. Publishers may come out with a new edition of the book and your old edition will not be worth as much.
- If you don't get any money for your book, you may want to hang onto it and try to sell again next semester. There may be another school now using the book and our service may need to buy it to offer them used books.
- Keep all of the CD's and/or any other materials that came with your book and bring them with you to buyback.
- You will need photo ID for buy back.
Sell your books - 24/7
You can sell your books back anytime during the year through the online bookstore!
Having trouble selling your textbooks?

Helpful Hints:
- You can enter in your text book information and you will get a quote on how much you will receive for your books. If you agree, you will be sent a pre-paid postage sticker.
- Send your books back and you will receive a check in about 5 days.
- Books must be in good condition and meet the used criteria -see the website for more details.

RALEIGH � The N.C. Department of Transportation has awarded a $1.4 million contract to a Mount Airy company to make repairs to the Bonner Bridge.
A statement from the department Friday said Smith-Rowe LLC will make repairs to supplemental supports on the bridge on N.C. 12 over Oregon Inlet on the Outer Banks. The project will begin this fall to avoid impact on summer traffic.
Because of sand erosion around several supports on the northern end of the bridge, NCDOT twice installed steel beams for additional support. The sections above water on nine of those beams have weathered due to exposure, so they are being replaced.
All work will be complete by February 2014.
Periodic lane closures will be in place to allow crews to take away materials and bring in steel.

What would the pedigree look like for a cloned cavalier?
What would the pedigree look like for a cloned cavalier?
Rod Russell
With inbreeding coefficients of over 33% in a breed that has an average of 5% some cavalier breeders' linebreeding practices are well on the way to producing cloned cavaliers already.
Margaret C
Cavaliers......Faith, The Ginger Tank and Woody.
Japanese Chins.... Dandy, Benny, Bridgette and Hana.
Remembered with love......... Tommy Tuppence and Fonzi
I saw a special on TV once about people having their dogs choned. These people were like totally OCD about getting "Chopper" back. AHHHH all these people had it done in Japan I think. And it cost them a LOT OF MONEY! Most of these were rescue mixed breed dogs that just have VERY loving owners. It was like these people actually thought they were getting back there died dogs back like cheating death. I ended up watching it because I was so eye brows raised about the people. One young guy even had his dogs choned 3 times at once and ended up naming the Chopper2, 3, and 4. I don't know. Personally, I think these people were a little twisted, I mean its great to have an amazing relationship with a dog. However, I think you honor your beloved pet by learning to love another one. For me, its just part of life.
AQHA allows clones. But I think they just literally duplicate the pedigree, so it looks like a second offspring by the same sire/dam.
But really cloning animals just doesn't make sense to me.
I think i saw the same thing but i think it was a mini series or a series? it was WEIRD.these people were....they had issues. this one guy was so obssessed iwth getting his dog back..he had his girlfriend there..and kept saying 'i love this dog more then anything or anyone i love it i need it..its hte only thing i need in my entire life this has to work' stuff like that..and im thinking...that POOR GIRLFRIEND lol.
then this other woman..spent alll this money to clone her pet...and commited some crime..and ended up getting 10 years in prison..she was able to meet the cloned puppy once..and they only average a 10 year life span. insane.
Oliver and Max and Meeko man, i will meet you at the Rainbow bridge. I love you all. Miss you more then you'll ever know.
wait for me...

Clicking "like" ( as we do on Facebook) would be nice !
As much as we grieve over the loss of a dearly loved pet ( death is a part of life)...
...to have it cloned ( JMHO)..is a bit ridiculous.
Each person is an individual...with their own personality...same w/ animals. If we were all the same..how boring would this world be? That is why each person...each creature is unique in it's own way. I don't know if anyone agrees..but I believe God does that. To mess w/ it?? ..well.. I believe is wrong.
I can't see how cloning would work anyway. ( no matter how close they could scientifically get the right DNA, etc.) Yes..perhaps you would have a dog ( or whatever) that LOOKS the same as the one you lost & loved..but would it have the same personality???? So..you only really have 1/2 the package...after all...it is MORE than just the looks of an animal or human being that we fall in "love" with, right?
And Melissa (Momobvious).. I agree.. I think you DO honor your pet by loving another one. Life goes on..like it is meant to.

Where Do I Start?
As with any project, starting can be half the battle, but having a plan and some support to back you up will make all the difference when it comes to execution. First things first; having the right materials is key before starting a job. You wouldn't cook an extravagant meal without first checking to see if you've got all of the ingredients, right? Although for some of you, the beginning of an extravagant meal may only consist of a take-out menu and a telephone. But anyway, you get the idea.
If you don't have the right materials, you can spend your day wasting time running back and forth to the hardware store. We know how frustrating that can be so we've provided a materials and tools list for you on our website according to the radiant flooring product you'll be installing TempZone™ for under tile & stone floors, TempZone™ for under hardwood floors, Environ II™ for under carpet & floating floors, and Slab Heating for under concrete.
What's My Plan?
Okay, so you've got your materials and tools and you're ready to start. The manual that comes with your WarmlyYours product will be a wealth of information and easy to follow but maybe you're a visual learner and you need to see installation in action. We created some short videos for just that reason which will help to map out the electric floor heating installation process. Check out our 5 Step Guide to Installing Your Floor Heating, click on the thumbnails to the left to view the video.
|Step One: Preparing Your Floor
|Step Two: Installing Your Floor Warming Roll
|Step Three: Ensuring a Good Installation
|Step Four: Wiring Your System
|Step Five: Installing Your Flooring
"Hey, uh, I need a little help here.'
Looks easy enough, right? Well, we know that even though our heating systems are consistently ranked by flooring professionals as the most worry-free and easiest to install system on the market, people still encounter questions and challenges. In that case, if you do run into a do-it-yourself hiccup, our 24/7 technical and installation support service manned by professional installers is always available to help when you need it, day and night (weekday or weekend)!

Assassin's Creed IV has the 'most varied world ever seen in an AC game'
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is the 'perfect series to bring piracy to games'.
The new game, which launches on November 1st this year for PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, PC, Wii U and probably the next Xbox, too, has been subject to spoilers and leaks all week – some by the publisher itself.
But there are some interesting elements still not subject to spoilers that was revealed at a London event last week. The presentation featured multiple trailers, game characters and locations. There was even a slightly-too-long opening monologue about Assassin's Creed from actor Ralph Ineson (that's Finch from The Office to you and I).
So yes, Assassin's Creed IV is a pirate game. But there are no peg legs, walking the plank or talking parrots. There's not even a 'yarr'. Ubisoft Montreal, and its eight (count them) support studios have tried to create a realistic pirate title, featuring real icons such as Charles Vane and the legendary Blackbeard.
The firm says it the first 'authentic' pirate experience. Monkey Island and LEGO Pirates of the Carribean this is not.
With the new hero and new setting we are creating the boldest and most unique Assassin's Creed game yet, while still respecting the pillars of the franchise that have made it such a fan favorite," said Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot.
Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag is based on a true, harsh and exciting part of a legendary era and will thrill longtime fans and newcomers alike."
It's an open-world title, too. And the developer promises seamless transitions throughout the game, from jungle to ruins to towns and from ship-to-ship. Players can even dive underwater to find buried treasure.
Although naval combat plays a significant role, there's plenty to do on land in what Ubisoft has dubbed the 'most varied Assassin's Creed ever', with jungles to explore, ruins to discover and targets to hunt down throughout the towns at the Caribbean location.
There are 50 different areas to explore in total. Check the screens below.
You can also customise your ship, and this will be crucial to reach areas of the game. Yes it is a fully explorable open world, but without the right firepower you'll never beat the ships to access other corners of the map.
The game actually predates Assassin's Creed III as you play as Edward Kenway, the grandfather to Assassin's Creed III's protagonist Connor.
Graphically it looked impressive, and the pirate setting should make for interesting marketing executions. Assassin's Creed III has sold just shy of 1m units in the UK, so this is one game to look out for when it arrives in November.
Meanwhile, Sony and Ubisoft have teamed up for the game. Those who purchase Black Flag on PS3 or PS4 can download 60 minutes of extra gameplay after the game's launch.

In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Healthy Eating
Here you will find tons of information about healthy eating and incorporating the principles of healthy nutrition into your daily life. Built around Dr. Cederquist's nutritional foundation for healthy weight loss, these articles place a wealth of information right at your fingertips.
Importance of a Healthy Lifestyle
Healthy food delivery is a great way to lose weight and there are many great benefits to having healthy food delivered to your door. The best perk is that you always have healthy food around—and that means you've already done half the work toward a healthy lifestyle. Now all you have to do is eat the food! Sounds easy enough, right? Next thing you know, you're stepping on the scale and jumping for joy because you've just completed your weight-loss goal. Another benefit is that you'll probably be eating around the same time every day since your meals are already prepared for you and eating at relatively the same time every day actually regulates your metabolism, causing you not to feel hungry throughout the day. Also, after shifting to a healthier lifestyle, you'll notice that you feel better mentally, emotionally and physically. A healthier lifestyle also helps decrease stress.
How bistroMD can help
We can help because through our healthy food delivery program, we take a different approach to weight-loss. We don't believe in dieting. We believe in health. We want you to forget about the suffering of restrictive portions and the annoyance of calorie counting because we don't ask you to do any of that. We are built on the foundation of healthy weight-loss that is based on real science and the unique knowledge that food is medicine.
One of our founders, Dr. Caroline J. Cederquist, M.D., who has 20 years under her belt as a board-certified bariatric physician, and our team of Registered Dieticians, ensures that every bite you take follows this proven weight-loss approach: Our healthy food delivery program provides 1,100-1,400 calories daily with 40-50% total caloric intake from lean, adequate protein, 20-25% of calories from healthy fats, and 30-35% from complex carbohydrates.
Understanding what your body really needs to lose and maintain weight-loss, learning what ingredients to use and selecting healthy recipes, shopping, cooking and cleaning is a lot of work. And we're more than happy to do it for you because we want to see you succeed in your weight-loss goals with our healthy food delivery program.

Untitled: photo by Lanzun varies varies vague (), 12 September 2012
...(Servant leads in the Warden, holding him tight around the waist to prevent him from collapsing. Ancient red livery hanging loosely about Warden, brightly polished silver buttons, several decorations. Cap in hand, he trembles under the gentlemen's gaze.)
PRINCE: Put him on the divan!
...(Servant lays him down and goes off. Pause. A faint rattling in Warden's throat.)
PRINCE (again in armchair): Can you hear?
WARDEN (tries to answer but fails, is too exhausted, sinks back again).
PRINCE: Try to pull yourself together. We're waiting.
CHAMBERLAIN: (leaning over Prince): What could this man give information about? And credible and important information at that? He ought to be taken straight to bed.
WARDEN: Not to bed -- still strong -- fairly -- can still hold my end up.
PRINCE: So you should. You've only just turned sixty. Granted, you look very weak.
WARDEN: I'll pick up in no time -- feel better in a minute.
PRINCE: It wasn't meant as a reproach. I'm only sorry you aren't feeling well. Have you anything to complain about?
WARDEN: Hard work -- hard work -- not complaining -- but very weak -- wrestling bouts every night.
PRINCE: What d'you say?
WARDEN: Hard work.
PRINCE: You said something else.
WARDEN: Wrestling bouts.
PRINCE: Wrestling bouts? What kind of wrestling bouts?
WARDEN: With the blessed ancestors.
PRINCE: I don't understand. D'you have bad dreams?
WARDEN: No dreams -- don't sleep.
PRINCE: Then let's hear about these -- these wrestling bouts.
WARDEN (remains silent).
PRINCE (to Chamberlain): Why doesn't he speak?
CHAMBERLAIN (hurrying to Warden): He may die any minute.
PRINCE (stands up).
WARDEN (as Chamberlain touches him): Don't, don't, don't!
...(Fights off Chamberlain's hands, then collapses in tears.)
PRINCE: We're tormenting him.
CHAMBERLAIN: How?
PRINCE: I don't know.
CHAMBERLAIN: Coming to the castle, having to present himself here, the sight of your Highness, this questioning -- he no longer has the wits to face all this.
PRINCE (still staring at the Warden): That's not it. (Goes to divan, bends over Warden, takes his little skull in his hands.) Mustn't cry. What are you crying for? We wish you well. I realize your job isn't easy. You've certainly deserved well of my family. So stop crying and tell us all about it.
WARDEN: But I'm so afraid of that gentleman there ----- (Looks at Chamberlain, more threatening, then afraid.)
PRINCE (to Chamberlain): If we want him to talk I'm afraid you'll have to leave.
CHAMBERLAIN: But look, your Highness, he's foaming at the mouth. He's seriously ill.
PRINCE (absent-mindedly): Please go, it won't take long.
...Exit Chamberlain.
...Prince sits on edge of divan.
PRINCE: Why were you afraid of him?
WARDEN (surprisingly composed): I wasn't afraid. Me afraid of a servant?
PRINCE: He's not a servant. He's a Count, free and rich.
WARDEN: A servant all the same, you are master.
WARDEN: I didn't want to say things in front of him which are meant only for you. Haven't I already said too much in front of him?
PRINCE: So you're on terms of intimacy, and yet today is the first time I've seen you.
WARDEN: Seen for the first time, but you've always known that I (raising his forefinger) hold the most important position in the Court. You even acknowledged it publicly by awarding me the medal "Red-as-Fire." Here! (Holds up the medal on his coat.)
PRINCE: No, that's the medal for twenty-five years' service at Court. My grandfather gave you that. But I'll decorate you, too.
WARDEN: Do as you please and grant me whatever you think I deserve. I've acted as your tomb Warden for thirty years.
PRINCE: Not mine. My reign has lasted hardly a year.
WARDEN (lost in thought): Thirty years.
WARDEN (remembering only half of the Prince's remark): Nights last years there.
PRINCE: I haven't yet had a report from your office. What's the work like?
WARDEN: Every night the same. Every night till the heart beats as if it were about to burst.
PRINCE: Is it only night duty, then? Night duty for an old man like you?
WARDEN: That's just it, your Highness. It's day duty. A loafer's job. There one sits, at the front door, with one's mouth open in the sunshine. Sometimes the watchdog pats one on the knee with its paws, and then lies down again. That's all that ever happens.
PRINCE: Well?
WARDEN (nodding): But it has been changed to night duty.
PRINCE: By whom.
WARDEN: By the lords of the tomb.
PRINCE: You know them?
WARDEN: Yes.
PRINCE: They come to see you?
ARDEN: Yes.
PRINCE: Last night, too?
WARDEN: Last night, too.
PRINCE: What was it like?
WARDEN (sitting up straight): Same as usual.
...Prince stands up.
WARDEN: Same as usual. Quiet till midnight. I'm lying in bed -- excuse me -- smoking my pipe. My granddaughter is asleep in the next bed. At midnight comes the first knock at the window. I look at the clock. Always to the minute. Two more knocks, they mingle with the striking of the tower clock, but I can still hear them. Those are no human knuckles. But I know all that and don't budge. Then it clears its throat outside, it's surprised that in spite of all that knocking I haven't opened the window. Let his princely Highness be surprised! The old Warden is still here! (Shows his fist.)
PRINCE: You're threatening me?
WARDEN (doesn't immediately understand): Not you. The one at the window!
PRINCE: Who is it?
WARDEN: He shows himself at once. All of a sudden window and shutters are open. I just have time to throw the blanket over my granddaughter's face. The storm blows in, promptly puts the light out. Duke Friedrich! His face with beard and hair completely fills my poor window. How he has grown throughout the centuries! When he opens his mouth to speak the wind blows his old beard between his teeth and he bites on it.
PRINCE: Just a moment. You say Duke Friedrich? Which Friedrich?
WARDEN: Duke Friedrich, just Duke Friedrich.
PRINCE: Is that the name he gives?
WARDEN (anxiously): No, he doesn't give it.
PRINCE: And yet you know -- (breaking off) -- Go on!
WARDEN: Shall I go on?
PRINCE: Of course. All this very much concerns me. There must be an error in the distribution of labor. You're overworked.
WARDEN (kneeling): Don't take my job away, your Highness. Having lived for you all these years, let me also die for you! Don't wall up the grave I'm struggling toward. I serve willingly and am still strong enough to serve. To be granted an audience like today's, to take a rest with my master -- this gives me strength for ten years.
PRINCE (putting Warden back on divan): No one's going to take your job from you. How could I get along without your experience? But I'll appoint another Warden, then you'll become Head Warden.
WARDEN: Am I not good enough? Have I never let anyone pass?
PRINCE: Into the Friedrichspark?
WARDEN: No, out of the park. Who'd want to come in? If ever anyone stops at the railing I beckon to him from the window and he runs away. But out! Everyone wants to get out. After midnight you can see all the voices from the grave assembled around my house. I think it's only because they are so closely packed together that the whole lot of them don't burst through my narrow window. If it gets too bad, however, I grab the lantern from under my bed, swing it high, and with laughter and moaning these incredible creatures scatter in all directions. Then I can hear them rustling even in the farthest hush at the end of the park. But they soon gather again [. . .]

LITIGATION RELEASE NO. 18103A / April 25, 2003
Securities and Exchange Commission v. 1st Atlantic Guaranty Corporation, Civil Action No. 03-CV-1213 DKC (D. Md.)
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") announced that, on April 23, 2003, it filed an emergency civil action in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, against defendant 1st Atlantic Guaranty Corporation ("1st Atlantic"), of Bethesda, Maryland. 1st Atlantic is a face-amount certificate company registered with the Commission pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940. A face-amount certificate company is a specialized type of investment company that issues fixed-income debt securities, agreeing to pay the principal amount of the instruments plus accrued interest on maturity.
The Honorable Catherine C. Blake, upon motion of the Commission, entered emergency relief, including a temporary restraining order and freeze of payments to certificate holders, against the defendant, and scheduled a hearing on the Commission's motion for appointment of a receiver for May 5, 2003, with a preliminary injunction hearing to be scheduled thereafter. First Atlantic, without admitting or denying the allegations of the complaint, consented to the entry of the temporary restraining order and freeze of payments.
The Commission's complaint charges 1st Atlantic with violating Sections 28(a) and 28(b) of the Investment Company Act, and seeks permanent injunctive relief. The complaint alleges that, from at least September 2001 to the present, as a result of the transfer of certain assets previously held by it, 1st Atlantic has been and is operating with reserves well below the legal minimum required by the Investment Company Act. Between 1998 and 2002, the former chief executive officer and chairman of 1st Atlantic diverted approximately $1 million from 1st Atlantic and transferred assets with a value of more than $2.8 million to a subsidiary without consideration.
The complaint further alleges that, in an attempt to cover its reserve deficiency, in September 2001, 1st Atlantic began to improperly count the value of the common stock of its subsidiary, State Bond and Mortgage Company, LLC ("State Bond") as a "qualified investment." However, the stock of State Bond is not a qualified investment, as defined under the Investment Company Act and, therefore, cannot be counted by 1st Atlantic towards its reserve requirement. Without that asset, 1st Atlantic has qualified investments of only $450,000 to pay certificate liabilities of more than $4 million and is operating in violation of the reserve requirements. Under the terms of the certificates, holders are entitled to demand immediate redemption repayment (with a small penalty and subject to First Atlantic's right to defer payment for up to thirty days) and investors who seek immediate payment could dissipate the remaining assets of the company to the detriment of other investors. The Commission's motion for emergency relief sought to address these concerns.

AuGres Farm Market opens up
AuGres — For the third year in a row, the city of AuGres is hoping to grow some more popularity as they are getting ready to kick off their annual farm market.
Starting on June 23, and ending Sept. 29, the market will be hosted inside of the City Park at the pavilion, every Wednesday from 2-6 p.m.
Farm Market Master Eve Wressel said shoppers can expect to see a lot of fresh and new items for sale, unlike flea markets.
"It's a variety of things, but it's not a flea market. We want new stuff," she said about the market, which will also sell AuGres embroidered memorabilia, and a local cookbook. "The (sweet) corn is a big item. When the fruit comes in, we have a vendor that grows it himself."
AuGres City Manager Pat Killingbeck said that she hopes to see people come on out to the Market.
"People realize how important it is to have vegetables in our diet. It's kind of fun," she said. "We use city property and basically organize it. We don't put any dollars into it."
Arenac County Michigan State University Extension director John Cummings said that MSU Extension supports the Farm Market, and that he will be one of the vendors.
"We wholeheartedly support farm markets. I plan to be a vendor," he said as he and his family plan on selling farm fresh eggs. "We support the concept of the farm market."
Vendors can join the Farm Market for a $10 fee that pays for the whole season.
Potential vendors can call Wressel at 989-876-7805 for more information.

^Breaking Bad was an epic show. Stick with it till the end.
GoT is over for another year:(. I'm just going to break down and read the books. I can't wait that long. Just like to add that I wish The Sword of Truth would get the HBO treatment. It would be just as good.
So after binging on Orange is the New Black, which was fantastic, I'm starting Louis. Kind of depressing but real
At this point, the GoT show has diverged from the books quite a bit, they might want to just make the show its own thing from now on.

NEWS Land use for sustainable energy
Featured in the Washington Post, KCET.org, ECNmag.com, Grist.org, ComputerWorld.org, and GreenTechMedia, and #1 "Trending Online" and "Most Read" Article in Nature Climate Change
Washington, D.C.— In the face of global climate change, increasing the use of renewable energy resources is one of the most urgent challenges facing the world. Further development of one resource, solar energy, is complicated by the need to find space for solar power-generating equipment without significantly altering the surrounding environment.
New work from Carnegie's Dr. Rebecca R. Hernandez (now at University of California Berkley), Madison K. Hoffacker, and Dr. Christopher B. Field found that the amount of energy that could be generated from solar equipment constructed on and around existing infrastructure in California would exceed the state's demand by up to five times. It is published by Nature Climate Change.
"Integrating solar facilities into the urban and suburban environment causes the least amount of land-cover change and the lowest environmental impact," Hernandez explained.
Just over 8 percent of all of the terrestrial surfaces in California have been developed by humans—from cities and buildings to park spaces. Residential and commercial rooftops present plenty of opportunity for power generation through small– and utility-scale solar power installations. Other compatible opportunities are available in open urban spaces such as parks.
Likewise, there is opportunity for additional solar construction in undeveloped sites that are not ecologically sensitive or federally protected, such as degraded lands.
"Because of the value of locating solar power-generating operations near roads and existing transmission lines, our tool identifies potentially compatible sites that are not remote, showing that installations do not necessarily have to be located in deserts," Hernandez said.
This study included two kinds of solar technologies, photovoltaics, which use semiconductors and are similar to the solar panels found in consumer electronics, and concentrating solar power, which uses enormous curved mirrors to focus the sun's rays. A mix of both options would be possible, as best suits each particular area of installation, whether it is on a rooftop, in a park, on degraded lands, or anywhere else deemed compatible or potentially compatible. They found that small– and utility-scale solar power could generate up to 15,000 terawatt-hours of energy per year using photovoltaic technology and 6,000 terrawatt-hours of energy per year using concentrating solar power technology.
Overall the team found that California has about 6.7 million acres (27, 286 square kilometers) of land that is compatible for photovoltaic solar construction and about 1.6 million acres (6,274 square kilometers) compatible for concentrating solar power. There is also an additional 13.8 million acres (55,733 square kilometers) that is potentially compatible for photovoltaic solar energy development with minimal environmental impact and 6.7 million acres (27,215 square kilometers) also potentially compatible for concentrating solar power development.
The team's work shows it is possible to substantially increase the fraction of California's energy needs met by solar, without converting natural habitat and causing adverse environmental impact and without moving solar installations to locations remote from the consumers.
"As California works to meet requirements that 33 percent of retail electricity be provided by renewable sources by 2020 and that greenhouse-gas emissions be 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050, our research can help policymakers, developers, and energy stakeholders make informed decisions," said Field, director of Carnegie's Department of Global Ecology. "Furthermore, our findings have implications for other states and countries with similarly precious environmental resources and infrastructural constraints."
