KIST/PU Theragnosis – A New Paradigm of Personalized Medicine
Published on
Companion Diagnosis, based on pharmacogenomics, has been recognized as one of most important key representatives of personalized medicine. However, Companion Diagnosis does not provide any clues in developing new ways of therapeutics but it only provides a best choice of drugs based on given genetic information. Therefore to step further for the future advancement of personalized medicine, we need to introduce a concept of therapeutics in Companion Diagnosis. Here, we introduce Theragnosis as a new paradigm of personalized medicine which includes both a real-time visualization of disease phenotypes and a novel adaptive design of therapeutics all together at the same time.
Approaches in combining these two important functionalities all together in a polymer nanoparticle are proposed in this presentation. Self-assembled and auto-quenched fluorescent nanoparticular probes have been designed to visualize target molecules, such as proteases and protein kinases. These nanoparticles can also serve as useful therapeutic tools with using novel drug delivery technologies. Moreover, it might be possible to evaluated therapeutic efficacies in real-time manner when therapeutic design shares principles of diagnostic imaging. Examples of theragnostic design of 'dose- amplification' will be introduced in this presentation.

Upturn in growth in 2018 but remaining below potential
Following two years of weak growth, economic activity has been picking up again in 2018. The stabilized inflation, fallen below the target level set by the central bank (2-4%), should enable the bank to maintain its rather expansive monetary policy (key lending rate at 4.25% at end July 2018). This should help to stimulate household consumption and corporate investment, both of which are also benefiting from reduced political uncertainties linked to elections, and, for the latter, from the rise in oil prices. An increase in public expenditure – by municipalities and governorates in particular – is also expected to further add to growth. However, despite the extensive road construction programme using the public-private partnership "Cuarta Generación de Concesiones viales" (2012-2035) aimed at catching up on transport infrastructure, and the latest public investment-enhancing programme Colombia Repunta (2017-2018), construction activity is struggling to get back on track. This is weighing on construction materials. Food, automotive, and household chemical produts are benefiting from vivid consumption. Services, such as retail trade, transport, accommodation, and restoration are also doing well. The trade balance is not expected to make any contribution to growth, as the increase in coffee (volume and price) and oil (price) exports will not compensate for the increase in imports (strength of domestic demand). Moreover, the economy is still growing at a rate below its potential (estimated by the IMF at 3%), still far from its pre-2015 performances.
Public and external accounts that benefit from rising oil prices
The 2016 tax reforms (VAT raised from 16% to 19%, extension of the tax base, simplification of the tax regime) are beginning to bear fruit, resulting in increased receipts and a reduction in the deficit. This is compounded by the increased rate of growth in 2018 and higher oil revenues (0.6% of GDP). From 2019 onwards, the deficit reduction, combined with the economic recovery and stabilisation of the interest burden (2.9% of GDP and 16% of public expenditure in 2018), should make it possible to stop the increase in the public debt.
In terms of the external account, both the recovery in oil prices and the increase in other exports, as well as tourism, should further reduce the trade deficit in goods and services (2.8% of GDP in 2017), despite the rise in imports of capital and consumer goods. The increase in remittances from expatriate workers (2.1% of GDP), boosted by the relatively positive conditions in the United States, will be balanced by the rise in repatriated dividends by foreign companies (2.6%) driven by the increase in their profits. The current account deficit should therefore be reduced. It will remain financed by foreign direct investments (3.2% of GDP in 2017), which continue to increase foreign exchange reserves (currently more than one year of imports and 2.5 times the short-term external debt). Total external debt represents 40% of GDP, 15% of which is its public share. This relatively favourable situation, reinforced in May 2018 by the two-year renewal of the IMF's precautionary line of credit (USD 11.4 billion), has largely contributed to the Colombian peso's resistance against the US dollar since the beginning of 2018.
Problematic implementation of the Peace Agreement and its transitional justice
Ivan Duque of the Centro Democratico party (centre-right) won the second round of the presidential elections in June 2018 (54% of the vote) against left-wing candidate Gustavo Petro (42%), a former guerrilla. Although his party does not have an absolute majority, Mr Duque will be able to command right-wing majorities in both houses of Congress when his party takes office on the 7th August. Like his predecessor, he will have to deal with the arrival of Venezuelan refugees (already more than a million in border regions), the revitalization of the economy and fiscal consolidation, and the implementation of the peace agreement with the FARC, adopted by Congress in late 2016. During his campaign, Mr Duque pledged to change the peace agreement by increasing reparations for victims, by demanding that FARC leaders convicted by the Jurisdicciόn Especial para la Paz (JEP) be ineligible to the ten parliamentary seats reserved for candidates of the new FARC party (Fuerza Alternativa Revolucionaria del Comun), and by suppressing the amnesty for drug traffic for political purposes. However, any such changes would likely be subject to further negotiation, voting and approval by the Constitutional Court, which must already rule on the law governing the JEP. For its part, the opposing party complains of delays in the social reintegration of combatants, the lack of redistribution of land, the lack of redesign of the rural cadastre and multiple murders of its local officials. In addition, armed groups are violently trying to regain control of the drug traffic, which as surged after being abandoned by the FARC. This could lead the Colombian authorities (under pressure from the United States) to resume aerial eradication with glyphosate, at the risk of alienating local communities. Furthermore, a thousand FARC dissidents have reportedly not surrendered their weapons and are suspected of committing further crimes as well. Negotiations with the ELN, the other guerrilla movement that is carrying out violent actions, remain laborious.
Last update : July 2018
The Colombian laws that talk about payment guaranty have been developed under general guideline known as "Proyecto INTAL" which is LATAM based. It has been slightly modified, taking into account orientation of AngloSaxon system of general law of Geneva 1930.
The rules of securities in Colombia, ruled under title II of decret 410 of March 27 1971 became effective in January 1/ 1972 known as "Codigo de Comercio".
The invoice is the security tittle which is most frequently used as main for debt collection inColombia. In event of default, as long as invoices contain all law regulations it should be effective for Collection. In case of refusal payment from debtor is mandatory original invoice to legal processes.
When a sale has been done the seller ought to issue one original invoice and two copies. The original one must be kept by the seller to be used for legal issues, other copy handed to buyer and the other is used for accounting record.
Other securities that could be used are bill of exchange, Check, promissory note, payment agreement, bond, bill of landing, or waybill. By invoices or any other security an executor procedure can be started by lawsuit before a judge who issues a writ of execution. Then debtor is notified, if the debtor refuses to pay up the court officer will issue a property order attachment, this order can also be executed on vehicles, bank accounts, shares or some contracts.
For transactions of high value, payments are made through a national interbank network called SEBRA (Electronic bank of the republic) It uses a system of real time settlement. SEBRA turns use two systems CEDEC (Check Clearing System) and CENIT (National Electronic interbank compensation.). For low payments cash and check are used primarily, although the use of electronic payments has had high growth in recent years.
Recovery for the extra-judicial form begins with telephone contact to the debtor, along with sending a letter by e-mail or certificated mail, we request the payment of the debt immediately. In this first phase we indicate to the debtor that if he pays in this moment he will be saving the penalty interest, charges and legal fees.
In this instance we get the payment of the debt or else the signing of a settlement agreement, which is best option considering the cost and complexity of the legal Colombian system.
If debtor is not contacted by telephone or written, we review the feasibility of a visit to the debtors address in order to verify the physical condition of his company and initiate the study of a legal process if the payment is refused.
When debtor does not make the payment of the debt, we do the study of the securities, estates, bank accounts of the debtor or his co-debtors, legal budges study, and judicial history of the debtor.
The case is submitted to the attorney who is responsible for establishing the executive process making a seizure of property prior to the notice of demand.
For the application of the demand, the lawyer is responsible for delivering the judge all the facts and documents justifying the debt, which then the debtor will be required to conciliation. In these processes the defendant may appeal and for that reason the process is long and costly in Colombia.
The code of civil procedure, in the third book rules the presentation of claims classifying them according to minimum account, lowest amount and highest amount. According to that classification it designates the instance that is going to handle the claim.
In case of insolvency or bankruptcy, the process must be filed with the "Superintendencia de Sociedades"with the requirements of the law 1116 of 2006, who ought to assign the case to an agent or liquidator according to the situation of the debtor company.

From GSIM v1.0 Glossary
Survey Population
A Population for which information can be obtained in a survey.
A Population which can realistically be studied (example: people currently residing in the province of Ontario not in an institution nor in a remote northern location nor temporarily out of the province). The Survey Population is therefore often a subset of the Target Population
Synonyms: object class
Frame population
A Population represented by records in a frame, which is the observable part of a Target Population and provides a reasonable approximation to it.
Example: most recent population census frame
Synonyms: object class

Understanding Populations -
Propose the following survey - Estimate the percent of US adults who have health insurance.
Conduct the survey by contacting households and people through random digit dialing.
1) Target population - US adults
2) Survey popuation - US adults with working telephone
3) Frame population - Working household/personal telephones
The issue triggers a set of reflections.
1) I am not so familiar with random digit dialing, but I see that you do not need a frame to take your survey units from. You still need a frame for raising and weighting. I assume that this frame is not generated in the same way as the sample, but is generated from administrative information on telephone connections (with problems of over and under coverage e.g. due to time lags). My point is, that in this example the usual relation between sample and frame is not valid. I also wonder whether the survey population should not have been defined in terms of telephones. This would make the example less suitable to me.
2) I am quite surprised by the synonyms mentioned above. Should I conclude that survey population and frame population are synonyms?
3) On the explanation to the definition of survey population: why only mention the under coverage, and not mention potential over coverage (persons temporarily in the province)?
4) Why do we need the fourth population concept: analysis population and analysis unit? I am familiar with the concept of analytical units in business statistics. These units are not units for themselves, but artificially created for statistical purposes (for instance to make the units more homogeneous in economic activity).
1) The sample is indeed selected from the frame in this survey. What may be confusing is that what constitutes the sample (phone numbers) and the units contacted (persons) are not the same.
I don't understand the point about weights.
By a frame here I mean the set of things that exemplify the frame population. That is consistent with the first part of the definition above. A sample is selected from the frame.
The usual relation between sample and frame is maintained here, but as I said above, the sample elements only point to elements in the target population; they aren't part of the target population themselves.
2) The second part of the definition of frame population is not correct. My example illustrates that a more complicated relationship exists. Frame population and survey population are not synonyms.
3) That is only an example. The issue is the survey population is the population you can actually measure, yet you use it to make an estimate for the target population - persons with telephones are a proxy for all persons, for instance.
4) Analytical populations and units appear as a description of tables and the like. I agree, this may require a little more thought to make sure the concept is useful.
Dan, it is probably my ignorance on random digit dialing and I am reluctant to show my ignorance to the world. I imagined that a machine would dial random numbers without any frame. This way you verify the actual working of the telephone. I already wondered how you would introduce the distinction between private telephone numbers and numbers related to businesses and organisations. I now understand that you do start from a frame of private telephone numbers (an administrative file). I do not see how you can certify that the telefone numbers in your frame actually consitite working telephone connections.
Anyway, if the survey population is taken from the frame, they should have the same units, in case working private telephones.
(My remark on raising and weighting was based on the assumption that the usual relation between frame and survey population was not valid)
Wim, I think in the vast majority of cases, the frame, survey, and target populations have a lot in common. So, it is confusing to consider these in cases where they might be quite different. In a usual establishment survey, the populations might look like this:
frame - known business establishments (rendered as a business register)
survey - known business establishments (Note - this is the same!)
target - business establishments
Similar constructs are used in household surveys with either a housing or population register as the frame.
Another case that might help clarify differences is in political polling prior to elections. The US relies on these polls extensively in the run-up to elections. They are almost always RDD surveys. For these polls, the populations are as follows:
Frame - working private telephone number
Survey - people who say they are likely to vote
Target - voters
In this case and my previous example using RDD, the frame contains proxies (phone numbers) for units in the survey population.
Thank you for the explanations. For me the more familiar example of different units in the target population and in the frame is to have a frame of addresses and a survey of addresses pointing to persons.
Your new opinion poll example would for me be a kind of two stage survey, with first selection from working private telephone numbers, survey on votera/non-voters linked to the chosen numbers, the new survey population will be the voters, survey voters on their voting behaviour. These two steps will probably be integrated in one questionnaire, but that does not change the view on the design of the process and the information objects needed.
I wonder whether the definitions we have express well the differences between the different types of population. The difference is not in the data structure, it is in the function in the statistical process. Actually, the same data set can be a survey population in one phase of the process and in a later phase of the process become a frame.
I'm really confused.
A Population is an aggregation of Units (figure 11 in the specification). Frame Population, Survey Population, Target Population and Analysis Population are sub-types of Population (also figure 11). Therefore, each Frame Population, Survey Population, Target Population and Analysis Population must specify a subset of units in the Population.
For example, Frame Population is defined as "A Population represented by records in a frame, which is the observable part of a Target Population and provides a reasonable approximation to it." The units in the Frame Population must be a subset of the same Population as the subset of units in the Target Population.
In his comment of 4 June, Dan says "1) The sample is indeed selected from the frame in this survey. What may be confusing is that what constitutes the sample (phone numbers) and the units contacted (persons) are not the same." This introduces some unmodeled objects: Sample and Frame. While a frame may well consist of telephone numbers, that's surely not the same as the Frame Population. You're not seeking the political views of phone numbers. Maybe it is people answering known phone numbers.
I think Wim might have the key to a solution when he says "Actually, the same data set can be a survey population in one phase of the process and in a later phase of the process become a frame." Following from this, perhaps there is no need to have sub-types of Population at all. Perhaps all the meaning we need could be represented in how Population relates to other objects, or maybe even in understanding what type of processes consume and create Population objects.
2/7/13 meeting: Carrie Ashley to coordinate ABS input
Current content in GSIM and key posts to date
There are four sub-types of Population identified in GSIM
- Survey Population
- Target Population
- Frame Population
- Analysis Population
In the Enterprise Architect file, Population itself is NOT abstract. (This means you can have concrete examples of Population in its own right, not just examples of its subtypes?)
Jenny Linnerud originally posted this issue, regarding the definition and use of the subtypes, particularly Survey Population and Frame Population.
Dan and Wim discussed examples and definitions related to the subtypes.
Gareth then commented he was "really confused". The conclusion of his post was
I think Wim might have the key to a solution when he says "Actually, the same data set can be a survey population in one phase of the process and in a later phase of the process become a frame." Following from this, perhaps there is no need to have sub-types of Population at all. Perhaps all the meaning we need could be represented in how Population relates to other objects, or maybe even in understanding what type of processes consume and create Population objects.
Key Issues
If GSIM is going to define subtypes of Population then these definitions need to be clear, agreed and applied consistently. There is a broader question, however, of whether it is necessary and appropriate to have subtyping of Population within GSIM at all.
Key Considerations
In following up this issue, John Machin and his team held extensive discussions with methodologists across the ABS who work with definition and use of (subtypes of) populations (and units). The original intent was to provide improved, "methodologist agreed", definitions and examples of the subtypes.
It became apparent through the investigations that economic and social statistics areas within the ABS subtype populations on different and inconsistent bases. Around 20 potential subtypes were identified, with some being refinements of broader subtypes. This raised the question of how to determine what "granularity" of subtyping GSIM should aim to have agreement on. Seeking firm international agreement on a reference categorisation and definition of Population subtypes would seem to be a major undertaking, one which would be more appropriately led by methodologists rather than metadata modellers.
The issue that Gareth raises was also raised by ABS methodologists. The subtypes relate primarily to the purpose for which a population is being defined/used in a particular case. Exactly the same population in terms of consistuent units could have a different "subtyped" use/role in different contexts. There are typically not a set of different attributes that need to be recorded about a population depending on its use/role based subtype.
While it is necessary to be able to identify the role a particular population is performing in a particular instance, this is an attribute to be recorded in regard to (eg) the role of Process Inputs, or a description of methodology, rather than being intrinsic to the definition of the Population itself.
Key Options
Option A: Remove reference to Population subtypes from GSIM V2.0
Option B: Seek to clarify and improve definitions and examples for Population subtypes for GSIM V2.0, obtaining "best fit" to the views of methodologists in the time available.
Option A
Descriptions of Population could still refer to examples to make it clear, for example, that Population is inclusive of populations that typically cannot be enumerated precisely in terms of the specific units they contain at a particular point in time (eg Target Population) and those which can (eg Frame Population and Sample Population). It is just that particular sub-typing is not structural to GSIM as a model.
It appears highly questionable whether sub-typing of Population belongs in any future version of GSIM.
Even if sub-typing of Population were to be appropriate for a future release of GSIM, however, improving specification and documentation of the subtyping from GSIM V1.0 does not appear to be a high value inclusion for GSIM V2.0. Time could be better spent on addressing higher priority improvements for GSIM V2.0.
Seeking greater clarity and agreement on Population subtypes within the methodological community internationally, before seeking to add subtypes back into GSIM, would appear appropriate IF such subtypes belong in GSIM in the first place.
High level implications
Feedback from ABS Methodologists suggested subtyping of Unit (currently Observation Unit and Analysis Unit) has the same issue as subtyping of Population. The same unit can, for example, be both an Observation Unit and an Analysis Unit depending on context. It is recommended that if subtype is removed from Population for GSIM V2.0, it also be removed from Unit.
The survey population is the collection of the units, while, in addition, the frame population also contains information about the units (addresses, travel costs connected to interviews etc.) necessary to draw an optimal sample. An example of the difference between the frame population and the survey population is that a unit (e.g. a person) in a survey population may remain the same from one year to another, but if he/she changes his/her address, the corresponding unit in the frame population will change.
Discussion 27/8:
Agreed to remove subtypes of population and unit.
How is GSIM going to support sampling? We don't think that population subtypes would solve this.
We could have roles for populations rather than subtypes - how? It is the relationship with/to the object not the object itself.
This very much depends on what GSIM should provide with regard to sampling. I was part of a group that built a model for describing a sampling scheme for DDI. We could take a look at that.
Describing a population is nothing like describing a sample, except there is a population associated with a sample.
Dan, I am going to close this issue. The sampling discussion should be raised as a separate issue so we dont get confused.

Many HIV patients skip medications to drink
In a new study, about half of HIV patients on antiretroviral therapy skipped their medications whenever they were drinking alcohol, an ill-advised behavior that could lead to higher viral loads, researchers say.
Nearly 200 people with HIV who were on antiretroviral drugs and drank alcohol were followed for a year, and 51 percent stopped taking their medications while drinking - and those same patients tended to have higher viral loads, according to the new report.
Lapses in pill-taking could be due to forgetfulness while under the influence, but a widespread - and erroneous - belief that mixing alcohol and HIV drugs can be toxic appears to play a role, researchers found.
Seth Kalichman, a professor at the University of Connecticut and lead author of the study, said patients need to be better educated about drinking and HIV treatments.
"The harms caused by missing their medications far outweigh the harms caused by mixing the two, if the person doesn't have liver disease. That's the reality of it," Kalichman told Reuters Health.
Drinking has been known to interfere with people's adherence to their medications, but "the consequences of inconsistent use of medications for HIV can be more severe in some ways," said Dr. Michael Ohl, a professor of medicine and infectious disease at the University of Iowa, who was not involved in the study.
Antiretroviral drugs suppress the HIV virus, and patients must take the medications continuously to prevent the virus from surging.
Additionally, going on and off the pills can lead to drug resistance, in which the antiretrovirals lose their potency.
To see how patients' beliefs about drinking and taking medication might contribute to poor adherence to the drugs, Kalichman and his colleagues surveyed 178 people - about four out of five of them men - who were currently using antiretroviral therapy and who reported that they drank alcohol.
At the beginning of the study, the researchers asked the participants about their alcohol-related beliefs, such as whether they thought their drugs wouldn't work as well if the two mixed. They also asked whether people would not take both at the same time - either by avoiding alcohol or the medicines.
Over the following year, the team checked in with patients every month to see how well they were sticking to their prescriptions through a pill count, and every other month they called to ask how often the patient had been drinking recently.
In addition, doctors' offices provided each patient's level of virus in the body and his or her CD4-cell counts, a measure of immune system health.
Kalichman's group found that 51 percent of the patients would avoid their medications at times when they drank, and half of the people in this group had poor adherence to their prescriptions.
In addition, half of the group that would skip pills also said they do not take their medications until alcohol is completely out of their system.
"It's pretty remarkable that about 50 percent of their patients reported doing this," said Catherine Grodensky, a researcher at the Center for AIDS Research at the University of North Carolina, who was not part of the study. "That's pretty surprising to me that it was such a high percentage."
In comparison, of the patients who reported not skipping their medications when they drank, 36 percent also did not adhere well to their prescriptions and 31 percent said they don't take the drugs until alcohol is out of their system.
"I think it's pretty well demonstrated that alcohol use is tied to poor adherence, and I think most people think it's because they're impaired in some way or they forget and it's an unintentional missing their medications, whereas here it shows they're (often) intentionally missing their medications," said Grodensky.
"And it looks like it's having some significant impacts on their treatment," she added.
People who skipped their medications while drinking were also more likely to have higher levels of HIV in their bodies and lower numbers of CD4 cells.
"People living with HIV who deliberately stop their medications when they are drinking are at risk for treatment failure," the authors write in the Journal of General Internal Medicine.
Ohl said the belief that antiretrovirals and alcohol are a toxic mix is something he hears frequently in his medical practice, but that there's no evidence that drinking should preclude taking HIV medication.
Andrea Sankar, a professor at Wayne State University, who did not participate in the study, said the belief likely comes from the advice that doctors typically give to patients, which is that they shouldn't drink when they are on therapy.
"When clinicians say, 'if you're taking antiretroviral therapy you shouldn't drink,' then what happens is rather than people stopping drinking, they stop taking their medications," she told Reuters Health.
Sankar said that doctors' offices are the best place to start changing behavior to make sure people continue to take their medication.
"We think it may be a pretty simple fix, just educating patients," said Kalichman.

Well both sides have different styles and one shows a lot more gore then the other. And because they can be so different is why a lot of people categorize it.
It's probably a lot easier for people to say "anime" and some would get what style you like to watch same goes for cartoons.
Sure they do mean the same thing but I think you would draw some confusion to some people and otaku's if you said..
" oh I like watching anime."
"oh really what do you watch? =D"

... *hmph* here in the Philippines, the common folk are somewhat indifferent about identifying JapAnimation (anime) and most cartoons (mostly from western countries)... and even worse, they also identify anime with HENTAI, which is alarming for me. True story.

I don't think normal Japanese really thinks a big deal about difference between the western animation and anime. They don't seem to be interested in finding out the finer details in the western animation especially ones that are popular right now. They might have been exposed to the Simpsons and all those cartoon network programs, it seems like they only usually reference already well-established superhero cartoons or totally outrageous cartoons like Southpark or Drawn Together. It seems in Japan, most animations are assumed to be for kids except for long running cartoons.
I used to think there were no difference between anime and cartoons but for me now there's enough difference to distinguish between them. And I just noticed that all the cartoons from America have been self-contained episodes except of course Avatar, the Lastbender. Beside this one, there hasn't been any which is why when you see a normal cartoon, I don't feel invested in it nor feel motivated to finish the series. With anime, it becomes endearing and long after you finish it, you feel as if it made some sort of impact. Ok, not all anime does, but some of the best one leaves me with long lasting impression and gives you a different outlook to your life. In short, it sometimes does more than what it's supposed to.

To me, the answer about whether anime refers to only Japanese animation or not is a simple one, but maybe not as well defined as it originally was.
Anime is a Japanese loan word that was originally borrowed into English to differentiate between American animation, which most commonly was targeted at juveniles, and Japanese animation, which went after a much broader audience. While American animation originally had the same audience, it more and more got associated with children's programming and Saturday morning "cartoons." Even Japanese animation that was imported into the country was re-edited and re-cut to be more suitable for a young audience (Speed Racer and Battle of the Planets). I think people forget that before The Simpsons, it was almost unheard of to find animation in prime time programming, outside of the holiday specials (but still targeted to a young audience). There's a really good essay in the original Robotech Art Book that talks through this adoption of anime to refer to "Japanimation."
Since the Japanese refer to all animation as anime, it only made sense to use that as the word to describe Japanese animation, since you had to have some way to distinguish the unedited, not always safe for kids animation coming from Japan. Imaging finding a copy of Dragon Pink in the children's section (true story), waiting for some unknowing parent to pick up thinking their kids will like a dragon story.
Similar Japanese loan words are manga and otaku, which have one meaning in Japan, and potentially a completely different connotation in the US. I'm assuming that a Superman or Spiderman comic is called manga in Japan, though I don't have any personal experience to draw on.
Funny enough, I think that the terms change over time, and that it's not necessarily a bad thing. Otaku used to be a bit of a derogatory term in Japan, at least from the many articles I read that talked about the difference in meaning between the two countries, and how Japanese couldn't understand why American fans would be calling themselves otaku. Here in the US, shows like The Simpsons and Family Guy have pushed the boundaries of animation, and feature films like Wall-E have proved there is an adult audience for animation. Now that people understand that animation isn't just for kids, we don't need the distinction that anime was intended to explain.

In this video: Fan-made Star Wars anime
I've had my two-cents on this video elsewhere. But clearly, I can tell the person, who made this animation is not Japanese. It's good work; and quality-wise, this is comparable to anime in the 80's.

"anime" in the Japanese language means cartoon. They would call any type of cartoon, whether their own or another country's as "anime". The only reason why people would argue about this is because they don't like associated Japanese cartoons with Western ones, because in the West, cartoons are considered something for kids. Japanese cartoons on the other hand can target older audiences.

Japanese animation can target kids or anime otaku. There is rare one that might target normal adult audiences, but the main difference between the Western and Japanese view on animation is that there are enough adult animation fans in Japan to support a small industry catering to it, that doesn't mean that watching animation as an adult isn't still looked down upon.

In Japanese Anime = A Medium
In English Anime = A prolific and identifiable genre of Japanese Cartoons (you could argue about whether the whole of anime constitutes a genre. In my opinion there are specific definable traits of anime that make it a genre)

In a store you would find anime in one location, foreign films in another. Cartoons sometimes in another, but usually most are under Kids things. The rest are simply in with the regular films are in genre sections.
In a Japanese video store in San Francisco, the anime is seperated from the rest of the films as well. Anime is in aphabetical order only by title.

And while anime certainly has become more narrow in the half-dozen or so years that I have been watching it, I think your 90% figure reflects your own viewing decisions as much as the range of diversity in Japanese animation. Over the past year or so I've watched shows like Hyouge Mono, Space Brothers, Usagi Drop, Madoka Magica, Mine Fujiko, AKB0048, and Sakamichi no Apollon. I would hardly lump them all together into a "genre" called "anime."

And yes, I stand by what I said. There are certain character archetypes, settings, and plot devices, which pervade a large quantity of anime.
Not only that, but if you isolate individual genres within anime, not only are there certain genres which are almost entirely specific to anime or originate from anime (mecha, chastity couple harem comedies, DBZ style shounen fighters, gotta-catch 'em all/monster hunter series) but even genres which are not specific to anime have specific traits which routinely differentiate their anime versions.
For example, it's a fact that most anime slice-of-life comedies feature a cast which centers around high school females in high school settings. This is not true for say, American Live Action Slice-Of-Life Comedies, which tend to focus on middle-aged men doing thing at home or their places of work.
Character Archetypes which are ubiquitous in anime:
Tsundere - The ultimate anime character archetype, needs no explanation
Hot-blooded-fighter: Naruto, Luffy, Natsu, Kenichi, Goku etc.
Bishounen - Again needs no explanation.
Harem Dummy: Basically just a lifeless dummy to be fought over by various hot women. Again, needs no explanation.
Plot Archetypes:
Shounen fighter
Mahou Shoujo
Stylistic Traits:
Stylized character style with spiky, impossibly colored hair, big eyes, and noticeably similar style across 90% of titles.
Over the top expressions, with certain types of faces signifying violence, embarrassment, and despair being popular across most titles.
Detailed background which often feature expressive use of texture and patterns to evoke emotions.
Almost all titles place a great deal of importance upon music and musical sequences, especially the intro and outro.

edit:time to criticize your post more thoroughly
For example the Roman-Greco tragedy and the modern tragedy, despite being alot different from and have a different audience, follow the basic "rules" of a tragedy.
Brittish and American comedies have very distinct features that the other don't have, but both are still essentially a comedy
For example tsunderes can be easily found in comedies, romances, shounen action series, shoujo etc.

Seriously, why are we seeing this topic again? Honestly, it's all animation; it differs in terms of genre, demographic, style, country of origin, etc.
I use anime for convenience, but I acknowledge that there's a wide variety of genres and style. While there are certain styles in Japanese animation which have become very commonplace, and the similarity of that style(such as Avatar) has created certain animesque conventions, ultimately it's all within the realm of animation.

466 teams + 2086 students = M3 Challenge 2009
466 teams + 2086 students = M3 Challenge 2009
Teens to vie for scholarships this weekend in Moody's Mega Math Challenge
Instead of sleeping in this weekend like most American teenagers, 2086 high school juniors and seniors will get up before 7:00 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday--to do math. Why? How does winning a share of $80,000 in scholarship prizes sound?
Four hundred sixty-six teams, each consisting of three to five students, will gather in kitchens, libraries, cafés, and classrooms--actually anywhere they choose--to solve an applied math-modeling problem based on a real-world issue. The topic is entirely unknown until they download the problem at 7:00 a.m. on March 7 or 8, whichever day they selected at registration. Using any free, publicly available, and inanimate sources of information to help them, teams will have until 9:00 p.m. that same night to research the problem, formulate assumptions, develop and test a model, analyze their findings, and summarize their response in a solution paper, which they will upload to the Challenge website. The goal of this entirely Internet-based Challenge is to increase interest in and encourage high school students to pursue math-related studies and careers.
The M3 Challenge began in 2006 in metropolitan New York City and the surrounding areas and now encompasses the entire Northeast, i.e. all New England and Mid-Atlantic states, from Maine to Washington, D.C. Upwards of 1,000 teams comprised of over 4700 students have been involved in Moody's Mega Math Challenge since its inception and have competed for close to $300,000 in scholarship prizes.
Judging for the Challenge is blind, with teams known only to the judges by their unique team ID number. The judging occurs in three stages: first is a triage phase where two-thirds or more of the solution paper submissions are eliminated; the second phase further calibrates the papers that are in contention for prizes, with the judges arriving at and ranking the top 26 papers. Generally, papers that reach this phase have been read by 10 or more professional applied Ph.D.-level mathematicians. The third and final phase of judging involves presentations by the top six teams at the Moody's Corporation headquarters in Manhattan. Those presentations will take place Tuesday, May 5, immediately followed by an awards ceremony.
About the Challenge
The M3 Challenge spotlights applied mathematics as a powerful problem-solving tool, as a viable and exciting profession, and as a vital contributor to advances in an increasingly technical society. Scholarship prizes total $80,000 in 2009. The Challenge is entirely Internet-based and there are no entrance or participation fees. Each high school may enter up to two teams of three to five students each. Students choose which day they wish to work on Challenge weekend and have 14 hours to solve an open-ended, realistic, applied math-modeling problem focused on real-world issues. Teams can work from any location they choose and can use any free and publicly available resources, but they may not discuss any aspect of the problem with, or seek help from, their coach or anyone other than their teammates.
The Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy (CECP) awarded Moody's Corporation a 2008 Excellence Award for Moody's Mega Math Challenge, citing the company's "sophisticated giving program that encourages students to develop a passion for mathematics, economics, and finance."

Panik's huge night helps Giants halt Nats' surge
WASHINGTON -- If you feel compelled to attempt the inevitable pun involving Joe Panik's surname, make sure to mention that the homophone you'll surely use doesn't apply to him.
Panik doesn't panic. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to excel so much for the Giants -- hitting and fielding consistently, thriving in parks he has never seen against pitchers he has never faced.View Full Game Coverage
WASHINGTON -- If you feel compelled to attempt the inevitable pun involving Joe Panik's surname, make sure to mention that the homophone you'll surely use doesn't apply to him.
Panik doesn't panic. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to excel so much for the Giants -- hitting and fielding consistently, thriving in parks he has never seen against pitchers he has never faced.View Full Game Coverage
The rookie second baseman continued his emergence Friday, highlighting a four-hit effort with a three-run, fourth-inning homer that propelled the Giants to a 10-3 victory over the Washington Nationals. Panik improved his batting average for the trip to a rousing .563 (9-for-16).
"You kind of learn on the fly," Panik said. "So far, so good."
The decision ended Washington's Major League-best 10-game winning streak and thus added a fresh helping of legitimacy to the Giants' bid for a postseason berth.
Consider the factors that the Giants overcame:
• They arrived in the nation's capital at approximately 5:30 a.m. Friday morning after Thursday's prolonged stay at Wrigley Field.
• They reversed their luck at Nationals Park, where they had dropped seven of their previous eight games.
• Even though batting practice was canceled because of threatening weather, they amassed 14 hits off Washington's talented assortment of pitchers -- including starter Doug Fister (12-4), who entered the game with a 6-1 record and a 1.76 ERA in eight home starts.
The teams had followed the script as the fourth inning drew to a close. San Francisco trailed, 1-0, and had just two singles off Fister, including one by Panik in the second inning.
Then the Giants awakened with two outs and nobody on base. Washington second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera couldn't snare Pablo Sandoval's grounder, resulting in an infield single that prolonged the fourth. Ex-Washington outfielder Michael Morse, who received warm applause from the Nationals Park crowd, singled past diving shortstop Ian Desmond.
Up came Panik, who drilled Fister's first-pitch fastball over the center-field barrier, several feet to the right of the 402-foot marker for his first Major League homer and a 3-1 Giants lead.
This was the same Panik who didn't start Monday in Chicago after dislocating his left pinkie, an injury that manager Bruce Bochy feared would sideline him for two to three weeks. But Panik has shown no ill effects, possibly due to his hitting style.
"It's an effortless swing," Bochy said. "There's a lot more bat speed than you think."
Panik said of his pain management, "I got lucky. It's basically how much can I deal with."
Panik's personality matches the ease of his swing. Asked how the 23-year-old has impressed him, veteran right-hander Tim Hudson said, "Just how he has handled the moments. He doesn't seem overwhelmed, he doesn't seem like anything's too big for him."
"He has a stoic way about him," Bochy said. "He has a nice focus [and] he's very competitive."
Hudson (9-9), who ended a five-start winless streak while yielding two runs (one earned) in 5 1/3 innings, called Panik's homer essential, given Washington's recent surge.
"If that inning doesn't happen, you never know what the outcome could have been tonight," Hudson said.
Indeed, Jayson Werth's homer in Washington's half of the fourth narrowed the difference to 3-2. That could have galvanized the Nats, whose winning streak included five come-from-behind triumphs and five walk-off victories.
But the Giants scored six runs in the final two innings, which Bochy deeply appreciated.
"Especially against a team that's had so much mojo," Bochy said.
A pair of Giants who have hit almost as impressively as Panik helped San Francisco pull away. Buster Posey delivered his second homer in two games with one out in the sixth. Travis Ishikawa, who's batting .320 (8-for-25) in his second life as a Giant, followed Gregor Blanco's two-out walk and Panik's single in the eighth inning with a two-run double off the right-field wall.
Posey added an RBI double during a four-run ninth.

Instead, I think the Evil-Pieces changed into Mutation pieces in accordance to Ise's power growth as a whole so that they would be able to accommodate it. That said, the author probably made it so that there's still room for him to grow even more after this, probably to the point of having 8 mutation pieces in him.
Also, it's interesting that Ise is now a badass and yet still balanced in power, since his weakness as a dragon increased with the flesh of a dragon.

I think that you misunderstood something. It has been, quite obviously stated, in the 12 volume, that three of Ise's four mutation pieces represent his Triaina move (with the value of the pieces, being 3,3,5 - to respectively represent the Knight, Bishop and Rook forms that Ise can take, while using that move) and the forth mutation piece, with the value of 9, represents Ise's CCQ.
In other words, the power contained in each of Ise's mutation pieces is different, which is the reason, why Ise's CCQ can only be maintained by a single piece.
If you want some direct proof here is the quote that confirms what I stated above:

Is anyone else for Sona joining Ise harem? I think in volume 14 were little hints for Sona being interested in Ise. Ise needs her strategys!
I am also very interested in Grayfia for joining Ise´s harem since the short-story "lets go to onsen" . It would be quite entertaining to see Ise conquer a married woman . Haha.
What are all your opinions?

Rynerd@To be honest I would lose interest in ln if the author makes a stupid move like add Grayfia to Isse harem.(really I dont know why people even want this ,would make Isse something that he is not).
Also like I say more that once I think Isse harem is fine as is.

Like Soji, I also think that Ise's harem is already fine as it is.
Grafiya is happily married to Sierzechs, and there isn't anything suggesting that she would be romantically interested in Ise.
The fact that someone is beautiful, doesn't mean that two characters, should become a couple.
Same for Sona, it's unlikely that Ise is going to become romantically interested in her, due to Saji, who... more or less, is Ise's friend.
Not to mention, I think that Rossweisse is meant to take the "older women" position, once she starts becoming romantically interested in Ise (which, is probably going to occur, in one of the future volumes, of the current 4 story arc.)
After that occurs, I doubt that Ise's harem is going to keep expanding, since the author himself said that would cause the other "main" heroines to have less screen time == less development of their characters, and some of the "main" heroines, definitely require some character development, at this point, if the author hadn't changed his plans, on having each of them, obtain a happy ending with Ise.

I think we can definitely lock Ise and Kiba into the #1 and #2 spots, and the rest is open to interpretation. My personal ranking is...
1. Ise
2. Kiba
3. Xenovia
4. Akeno
5. Rias
6. Ross
7. Gasper (Though if he masters his power he could take the #3 spot imo)
8. Koneko
9. Asia

I really wouldn't put Xenovia that high on the list. she's may have power but doesn't even know the right way to use it yet plus it basically comes down to the same thing over and over. At best I would put her around the middle below Akeno and Rias possibly even Ross. When she starts mastering the Excalibers I'd rank her higher but not before then.

Also Rias might be slightly stronger than Akeno since she has developed a new way of using her PoD to the fullest. And as for Gasper, he might have overwhelming power but that's only when he's berserking(for now) and even if he can master it, it won't be that of the same overwhelming force as when he still hasn't mastered it yet(could be wrong but likely will be the same case as Ise with his JD).

mine would be:
1. Ise (clearly)
2. Kiba (clearly)
3. Akeno (new powers put her roughly about this place but probably about equal to Rias)
4. Rias (roughly equal to Akeno thanks to her new ability)
5. Ross (skilled with plenty of knowledge)
6. Xenovia (all power but is a one trick wonder currently which makes her predictable. will wait to see when she starts mastering more of the Excaliburs)
7. Koneko (strong for a rook but still needs to learn more about Senjutsu)
8. Gasper (awoke a strong new power but doesn't understand it or how to control it yet. Still lacks in skill with his SG)
9. Asia (clearly since she is a support type than a fighting type)

My wife and I were in Grand Cayman for our honeymoon a few weeks ago. (Awesome trip!) So just the other day I looked on Shinn's website to see if there was any info on the Sneaker X pads/straps. I happened to catch this pic of Shinn's new lady team rider. I immediately recognized the woman and the beach! We were at Barker's Beach when this photo was shot for Shinn Kiteboards. My wife was in a chaise lounger about 15 feet out of frame on the left and I was out riding. I'm bummed that I didn't get to photobomb this pic with me doing some kook move in the background!
Amy was quite nice and a very good rider. Grand Cayman is a great place to ride!
My wife had to comment on the UGG boots in 85 degree weather though.

Best Kids Parties: Sushi
Name: Nico (1)
Location: Los Angeles, CA
When our son was a tiny, swaddled newborn, we called him our little "Sushi." The nickname stuck and we decided to go with that as the theme for his first birthday party.
Although it was tempting to incorporate all kinds of Japanese décor, we tried to focus on things you might find in a sushi restaurant. We named our restaurant "One" and decorated with paper lanterns, straw mats, and soy sauce bottles.
We served some sushi--which was gobbled up quickly!--and filled out the menu with teriyaki skewers of chicken and shrimp, edamame salad with ginger dressing, and miso soup. Among the drink options we offered green tea (iced and hot) and Ramune (Japanese soda that comes in a cool glass bottle, sealed with a marble.)
For dessert we made cupcakes that looked like maki rolls. We used black cupcake liners for the seaweed, white sprinkles for the rice and cut pieces of gummy candy for the fish. Guests were invited to decorate their own sushi-chef headbands with markers and stickers.
We were disappointed to be forced indoors by wet weather--the party was supposed to be at the park--but everything worked out great at home. The guests and our "Sushi" had a fabulous time!

This the 3ch mini RC Helicopter with built-in Gyro. The helicopter flies as stable as a floating object, you can easily control it to land on any spot you want. The gyro is an essential component in many RC helicopters. Gyros in RC helicopters are most commonly used to control unwanted movement on the yaw axis. When an RC helicopter rotates on its yaw axis, the direction the nose points (the heading) changes. The yaw gyro's job is to sense any undesired rotation around the yaw axis (clockwise or counter clockwise rotation when viewed from above), and to automatically correct the orientation of the RC helicopter. Without a yaw gyro, even if the RC helicopter was trimmed out to fly straight initially, it would eventually begin to drift and rotate right or left. Normal maneuvering of the RC helicopter and external forces can result in undesired yaw rotation. When this occurs, the gyroscope senses this change in yaw and corrects it. This results in stable flight for the RC helicopter and no undesired changes in yaw. 3 selectable bands, this allows maximum 3 helicopters can fly in the same area. This infra-red transmitter can act as the charger for the heli, it needs 6 AA batteries to function. (Batteries are not included in the package) How to charge it? Easy! Just plug it to the transmitter, switch the transmitter on, that's it! If you don;t want to draw power from the dry battery pack, you can also charge by the USB cable included, so that you can charge by a Laptop or PC.

Shareholders of 1st Financial have approved the pending merger of Hendersonville-based 1st Financial and its subsidiary, Mountain 1st Bank & Trust Company, into First Citizens Bank, according to an announcement Tuesday from First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company and 1st Financial Services Corp.
During a special meeting, the shareholders of 1st Financial voted to approve the merger agreement with Raleigh-headquartered First Citizens. The merger also has been approved by the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks, officials said in a news release.
Subject to receipt of approval by the FDIC and the satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions, the merger is expected to become effective on Jan. 1, or as soon as practicable thereafter.
"Our shareholders have supported the merger and expressed confidence that it represents the best interests of our shareholders, customers and the communities we serve," Michael G. Mayer, CEO of 1st Financial and Mountain 1st, said in the release. "We are moving forward to satisfy all necessary closing conditions and look forward to completing the transaction."
Frank B. Holding Jr., chairman and CEO of First Citizens, added, "This vote is a significant milestone in the process. We are gratified by the support shown by shareholders of 1st Financial. We look forward to completing the merger and providing Mountain 1st customers with the exceptional service they have come to expect from their financial institution."
1st Financial operates 12 branches in Western North Carolina communities through Mountain 1st Bank, which provides commercial banking products and services. As of Sept. 30, 2013, 1st Financial reported $675 million in assets, $660 million in deposits and $347 million in loans.
Mountain 1st branches are located in Asheville, Brevard, Columbus, Etowah, Fletcher, Forest City, Hendersonville (two branches), Hickory, Marion, Shelby and Waynesville.
After the merger, Mountain 1st Bank branch offices will open as First Citizens Bank branches. Customers should bank as they normally do at their existing branches, the relese says. Mountain 1st customer accounts are expected to be converted to First Citizens' systems in spring 2014. Customers of Mountain 1st already can use any First Citizens ATM with no surcharge fees on cash withdrawals.
1st Financial Services Corp. is a public company, the common stock of which is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "FFIS." Mountain 1st Bank was chartered on April 30, 2004, and opened for business May 14, 2004, in Hendersonville, where Mountain 1st and 1st Financial are headquartered.

I guarantee had Iginla played right wing on Crosby's line, we would be worried about not being able to afford him. As I mentioned in another thread, any coach worth his salt would have had Iginla playing with Crosby from the get go, knowing full on that you have a better chance of creating offense in the playoffs with those two as opposed to Crosby playing with Dupuis.

Seattle's Alonso has red card rescinded
NEW YORK (AP) — Seattle Sounders FC midfielder Osvaldo Alonso will be eligible to play this weekend against Colorado after his red card was rescinded.
Major League Soccer announced the decision by an independent review panel on Wednesday. Seattle had submitted a request for review after Alonso was issued the red card in second half stoppage time of the Sounders 1-0 loss to San Jose on Saturday.
Alonso was issued the red card by referee Sorin Stoica after making contact with San Jose defender Dan Gargan. The review panel determined the contact did not reach the threshold of violent conduct.
It's the second time this season the Sounders have successfully had a red card rescinded. Forward Obafemi Martins was issued a red card in late May against Chivas USA that was later overturned on review.

I'm not nearly as organized in my research as I should be. For 2010, I'm trying to come up with a few specific research questions to answer, and I intend to devote much of my research time to those questions. I know I'm supposed to focus on one line at a time, but frankly, for me, that's a recipe for getting bored and giving up, so I'm trying to come up with one primary question for each of a few different lines.
1. Who were Matthew Madigan's parents?
2. Who built the house at 85 Luqueer Street?
3. When did Richard Toner die?
4. What killed Patricia Mary Gillan Chase Marra and her daughters, Patricia and Michele Elizabeth Chase, on New Year's Eve, 1947?
5. What happened to Mary Mulvany?
6. Where was Mary D'Ingeo Gatto born?
7. Who were Hugh Quinn's parents?
To answer these questions, I would like to:
Finally visit my local Family History Center
Visit the Brooklyn Historical Society
Visit the NYPL's Milstein Division
Visit the various research rooms in the downtown Brooklyn county government complex
Devote some time to browsing the Brazil Catholic Church Records and the Brazil, Sao Paolo Burial Records at FamilySearch.org
Familiarize myself with Florida genealogy
Family History Related Personal Goals:
Get a job, so I can once again afford to order the records I need
Create vital records for my descendants to find! (namely, a marriage license and marriage record, this coming April!)

I like that you not only have a list of the goals, but also what you are going to DO to help accomplish those goals!! I am always great at coming up with lists of what I'd like to do but need to follow through with the plans to actually do them

Thanks, Diana!
Of course, my plans of what to do to accomplish my goals need to be a good deal more detailed before they'll do me much good!

Having money to pay for our genealogical services and documents is GOOD! :) When I started my research about 33 years ago, I put it in my monthly budget and I think I could afford one document every 3 months (those were the days before Ancestry heh), and postage was a kicker. You have a nice plan.

Dosia Szabszevicz
Born: October 30, 1932
Lodz, Poland
Dosia, her older sister and parents lived on her grandfather's estate in the town of Ozorkow, eight miles from Lodz. Dosia's parents were secular Jews. They spoke both Polish and Yiddish to each other, but only Polish to their children. Dosia's father worked as an accountant, and her mother was active in organizing charity events for several of Ozorkow's Jewish organizations.
1933-39: A few days after Germany invaded Poland in 1939, I saw the Polish army retreat through Ozorkow, carrying their wounded on wagons and horses. We knew the war had started and that for us Jews there was no choice but to hide. So the whole family gathered at my aunt's house. Looking out through the window blinds we saw the Germans arriving on horses, trucks and motorcycles. They were so happy and triumphant, those young soldiers.
1940-45: In 1942, after my whole family had been forced into the Ozorkow ghetto, my mother, my sister and I were transferred from there to the Lodz ghetto. When my mother came home from work one day feeling ill, we were afraid that, like many others in the ghetto, she'd die. Someone told me that she'd get better by eating a lemon. So my sister and I took half of our weekly bread ration--one loaf--and exchanged it for a lemon. We fed it to my mother, but soon afterwards, she died in my arms.
Dosia was deported to Auschwitz in 1944. She was transferred to a forced-labor camp, and from there to the Bergen-Belsen camp. After the war, Dosia immigrated to Palestine.

MOVIE REVIEW- Soar subject: <i>Up</i> is a beauty, not a beast
Cars hinted that Pixar wasn't making toons just for children anymore, with a multigenerational appeal that skewed toward nostalgic older viewers. Ratatouille and WALL•E also had more adult appeal than most feature-length cartoons.
Up takes things a giant step forward. It's an animated feature for people who saw the first wave of Disney classics in their first runs, and secondarily for youngsters who are close to their grandparents or even great-grandparents. Yet director, Pete Docter's only previous feature was Pixar's younger-skewing Monsters, Inc.
If Up turns out to have a broad appeal for kids in general, so much the better. It can teach them to appreciate a better class of movies than what Hollywood usually throws at them and their less discriminating elders.
The main character, Carl Fredericksen (voiced by Ed Asner) is nearly 80, but he wasn't always old. The opening sequence (following a delightful animated short, Partly Cloudy) shows him as a boy, watching a newsreel about dashing explorer Charles Muntz (Christopher Plummer), who roams the world in his dirigible, Spirit of Adventure. Muntz, Carl's idol, is discredited after he brings back a giant bird skeleton, "the monster of Paradise Falls," from South America and it's deemed a fake.
But Muntz has at least one more loyal fan, Ellie, who bonds with Carl over their shared admiration. She eventually marries him and they spend a lifetime together, shown in a brief– but not rushed– montage. They have no children and never achieve their goal of traveling to Paradise Falls together.
In the present day Carl is a widower, still living in the house they shared despite developers building around it and trying to buy it from him. He grudgingly befriends a young boy, Russell (Jordan Nagai), a Wilderness Explorer who's trying to earn an "assisting the elderly" badge.
About to be evicted and sent to Shady Oaks Retirement Village, Carl fills thousands of balloons with helium and ties them to the house. When they come to take him away he goes up, up and away instead. As the house soars over the city Carl learns he has a stowaway: Russell.
Trailers have been giving away that much of the story for months that seem like years. About a third of the way into the movie the square-faced man and round-faced boy arrive near Paradise Falls, and their real adventure begins.
Suffice it to say it involves a bird and a lot of talking dogs, one of them (Dug, voiced by writer and co-director Bob Peterson) friendly, and the mystery of what happened to Charles Muntz is cleared up. Unlike WALL•E, which ran out of fresh ideas in its second half, Up continues to provide fresh, often funny surprises, even as it builds momentum and becomes more action-oriented.
The 3-D version of Up wasn't screened for critics, but even in 2-D it has about four more dimensions than most of the Hollywood crap out there. Rather than condescend to children, Asner makes Carl so real you can almost forget you're watching a cartoon– at least until the dogs start talking again.
Up has already been honored as the first animated film and the first film in 3-D to open the Cannes Film Festival. They don't have to wait until the end of the year to give out Best Animated Feature awards. There hasn't been one as good as Up since Beauty and the Beast, and it's not likely to be topped in the next seven months.

DailyDirt: Don't Eat Fat. Or Sugar. How About Just Less Of Everything?
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- In the 1990s, there was a fat-free craze that lead everyone to try to avoid fat, resulting in fat-free labels on unexpected items like bottled water. The unintended consequence was also that people tended to eat more carbohydrates, and the substitution of carbs for fat doesn't seem to have positive health benefits. [url]
- Could you live without added sugar in your diet for an entire year? One family did it (almost), but this sample size of two adults and two kids doesn't really mean everyone will experience a positive health transformation from a no-added-sugar diet. Perhaps look for a follow-up book on their family health after a few more years..? [url]
- The World Health Organization is considering a sugar intake recommendation of just five teaspoons. Sugar is looking like the next trending "bad guy" in our diet, but have nutritionists cried wolf too many times now? [url]

March 19, 2012: Cheese Snob Wendy: Making Clean Cheese Is Slow - for Radio Boredcast
Cheese Is Slow
I think about cheese a lot. I wrote down my thoughts and read them slowly into a microphone while I was thinking about how much I like cheese and how happy I am that cheese is slow. I don't like to be rushed. Words are often better when accompanied by music, so I found some songs to help keep the theme going. I didn't really pick any songs specifically about cheese because I thought that would be far too obvious and kind of annoying.
Cheese Snob Wendy
I live in the United States. I am in my late-30s and I have been working with cheese since I was 21 years old. Within a few days of starting my first cheese job I knew I was in the right place. Learning and eating are two of my favorite things. I've done nearly all there is to do in the cheese profession except make cheese. Most of my experience has been selling cheese, teaching people about cheese, and writing about it. You know those little signs that are stuck into the cheese in the shop's display, with the name of the cheese, how much it costs, and a description of the cheese? Well, I write those descriptions. I like music, too, but I imagine that goes without saying because what kind of horrible person doesn't like music?www.cheesesnob.com

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A pair of school records and a number of event records fell this afternoon when the MIT swimming and diving teams opened the 2011-12 season by hosting the Charlie Batterman Relays. The Engineers won every race that was held, with Junior Anna Kokensparger (Omaha, Neb.) and junior Brendan Deveney (Newtown, Conn.) each breaking school marks in the 100 IM.
Kokensparger turned in a time of 1:00.19 on the leadoff leg of the victorious 400 IM relay to break her own record of 1:01.52. She was also a member of four other teams that brought home victories for the Engineers, the 200 MR, 200 Fly Relay, 400 IM relay, 200 Breaststroke Relay, 200 Free Relay; with the 200 Medley, 200 Fly, and 400 Medley relays all setting meet records.
Also setting meet record for the women were the 200 Back, 500 Free Crescendo and 1,500 Free relays. Freshman Emily Ryan (Indianapolis, Ind.) had a memorable start to her collegiate career, taking part in both the 500 Free Crescendo and 1,500 Free relays.
Like Kokensparger, Deveney set his mark on the leadoff leg of the 400 IM relay. He turned in a time of 53.33, bettering the oldest mark in the MIT record book, a 53.52 swam by Zac Lee in the 1997-98 season, and giving him all three IM records at MIT. Freshman Ben Bauchwitz (Hershey, Pa.) was on four victorious teams for the Engineers, the 500 Crescendo Relay, 200 Fly Relay, 400 IM Relay, and 200 Breaststroke Relay.
MIT also turned in an NCAA B cut time as well, with the team of senior Ryan TerBush (Smithtown, N.Y.), sophomore Michael Liao (Newport Beach, Calif.), junior Wyatt Ubellacker (Georgetown, Ky.), and sophomore William Dunn (Weston, Mass.) turning in a 1:32.91 in the 200 Medley Relay.
Like the women, the men also set six event records. The Engineers posted meet records in the 200 Medley, 500 Free Crescendo, 400 IM, 1,500 Free, 200 Breast and 200 Free relays.
Both teams will be back in action next week when they host their Alumni Meets on October 29 at 12:00 p.m.

4 girly bumgenius 4.0 shells & adjustable inserts
My dd is actually officially potty trained now. So this is the last of her stash. Here's what I have;
4 shells/pockets with snap closures - $9ppd each or all 4 for $32ppd.
1 butternut
1 blossom
1 bubble
1 grasshopper
4 adjustable inserts $1 each with covers. Or $2 plus postage if sold alone.
3 newborn doublers (and maybe one more if I can find it)
Condition: have been used for less than six months. I am the original owner. The inner suedecloth is slightly pilly on all four. and I've used bleach in the wash so it's possible the colors are slightly lighter than new ones, but i dont have anything to compare them to. No stains or stink on the pockets. The elastics are relaxed (my dd is in sz 2t) so they'd be best for an older/thicker baby. Not shot, just relaxed. I will send replacement elastics for free. And if you'd like me to replace the elastics before I send them, I'll do it for $2 per diaper.
Inserts are all stain and stink free and nice and absorbent. No issues.
