It would seemed that TObi is kinda connected to Orochimaru

He's not technically dead either. He was sealed in some kind of genjutsu world by Itachi's Susanoo.
My guess is that Sasuke will use Susanoo to free Orochimaru or enter that world himself in order to communicate with him.
I don't think Orochimaru is "The One Who Knows Everything."
Rather Orochimaru can give him the ability to help Sasuke on his quest to confront that person.

That being said, Orochimaru does know Shōshagan no Jutsu, which allows him to wear the face of anyone (by literally taking his victim's face) without being detected. So, it's not like Orochimaru can't do deep undercover work.

Orochimaru was a member of Aktsuki and fled because Itachi burned him, Tobi founded the organization on the past (when Orochimaru was still on the leaf with Tsunade and Jiraya) and gave Pain his eyes.
It wouldn't make sense for a Sharingan seeker to have and use both Sharingan and Rinnegan and to have powerful Uchiha subordinates whilist still going after Sasuke.
Tobi predates Orochimaru but it's most likely that the later uncovered a lot of truths the former might have considered a taboo.
Tobi is more of a well intentioned extremist whereas Orochimaru is a complete monster who wants to absorb all knowledge in the world.
Changing subjects, I think that scroll reveals the truth behind the Rikkudou Sennin.
It shows how to summon from hell a demon like the Juubi and harness it's immense power for the user.

For one Why was Orichimaru so desperate for a sharinan when and if he already had one. Also why didn't he just use his Sharingan hacks against Sarutobi ?
I know you guys haven't really said that he is Orichimaru and just suggesting there is a possibility. I am mainly talking about the notion or idea of him being Orichimaru is just too far-fteched ( but still possible somehow imo.) Kishimoto could always make up some reason. Nothing impossible now that we actually have orichimaru back. Kishimito would just need to come up with tons of valid reasons and hows to justify this kind of plot ( For madara to be orichimaru) for it to be believable to me personally.
P.S. Lack of sleep *_*. I am not even making sense to myself. Nights .
P.S.S. "Is Tobi orichimaru?" That would actually be a good video title.

I think Orochimaru has either found out alot about the truth behind Tobi/Madara or has some so far unheard of knowledge of Rikudo Senin he came by on his quest for knowledge, or maybe even both - I think there are too many inconsistencies with Tobi BEING Oro, however, it is possible Orochimaru was involved in either creating Tobi's body or maintaining it during his Akatsuki time and that might also be why he knows so much - though if that were the case Tobi ought to have come after him to silence him. We lack the info but it sure is getting interesting again, and I'm gonna go on a limb and get down from my high horse of bitchiness and state that with Oro coming back there might be very good reasons for the whole Kabuto shebang I didn't like much so far. Hiro doing well I say

Well after reading this chapter...I always had a feeling that the 3 legendary sannin might reunite for some reason.then this chapter was going on about oro so I think maybe jiraiya might be coming back on the field(I mean what kind of a reason was it for kabuto to come up with to say that jiraiya'S body was too deep in the ocean that he couldn't find him.i doubt that madara was 'that' easy to be found.I somehow think that jiraiya might have discovered a lot more during his time when he was writing his books and about naruto being the child of prophecy)IMO.just a thought guys. also didn't jiraiya kinda have feelings for tsunade?which he never really got to confess?well In all if oro is coming back I hope Kishi brings jiraiya back as well.

^ as much as I like Jiraya, I think he likely has served his part in this story. This is not about the 3 Sanin anymore, it's on a much bigger scope and Oro is not still part of it as one of the Sanin but as the Sanin gone arch-villain who acquired hax knowledge ...

Re: Orochimaru being sealed away, remember that some of his white snakes were not sealed - they escaped, though all the ones on-screen were burned up by Amaterasu.
I think the explanation of how Orochimaru might be alive is gonna be way more wild than that though.
Interesting that Orochimaru was in possession of knowledge that would have allowed him to rule the entire world, though.
Man, if Kishi hadn't turned him into an ugly snake-thing, he'd still be cool.

^No snakes escaped. If they were not shown escaping then they did not escape (at least until/unless Kishimoto decides to reconcile the situation, but considering his hardon for Itachi I doubt that will happen).

A lot of interesting stuff happened in this chapter.
Madara now doesn't look like an Edo-Tensei zombie, is he now alive? I didn't see any cracks on Madara's face and because of the rinnegan we can't see if he has a zombie-eye. Konan told us that Nagato had power over life and death, so if Madara has rinnegan could it be that he used it to resurrect himself from the zombie state?
It looks like Tobi will have a minor 10-tails now. I expected a huge genjutsu that he will use on the ninja army and Naruto to capture Bee and Naruto. But now it seems he just wants to resurrect a minor version of the 10-tails. It would have been interesting to see people like Sakura and Hinata attacking Naruto while being under a genjutsu But i guess that won't happen now, instead the 10-tails will show some other special power. But Naruto also got all types of chakra now, so he also has that trump-card.
Sasuke finally realized that Tobi is not Madara, this will be interesting He has to seek out Orochimaru to finally learn about Tobi's identity. Poor Orochimaru will be mentally raped by Sasuke again. Someone who has achieved so much being used like this is kinda sad
It was nice to see that Itachi managed to plant the seeds of doubt in Sasuke, now Naruto will be able to do something about Sasuke's way of thinking. Sasuke didn't say that he is an avenger, he now questions who he is. Even if he still plans on destroying Konoha, but now at least he began to use his brain again. He stopped using his brain when Tobi told him about Itachi's real life, and now finally Sasuke stopped being braindead

*fan girl squeal* Orochimaru is coming back? Oh, happy day! My manga hasn't been the same without him.
Team Taka picked a convenient time to just "drop in" on Sasuke and make "snake jokes," lolol. I wonder--and I may be the only one--where is Karin? She gets three gold stars if she tries to stab Sasuke in the back.
Great chapter, imho. It raises more questions than it answers, and, I have to say, I'm happy that Anko is still alive. I heard once that she is one of Kishi's favorite characters, so I'm hoping she survives whatever crazy plan Sasu has in mind to revive/talk to "the one who knows everything."
Also, I'm hoping when Sasu does have his little chat with Orochimaru, his dark-side will come back. He's acting a bit too much like a good guy at this point... T-T Where is your angst, Sasuke? Use the power of angst, Sasu!

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan Pakistan sought to reassure Washington on Friday that it remained an ally in fighting terrorism, but it also warned the U.S. to stay out of Pakistani territory while hunting down militants along the volatile border with Afghanistan.
Emphasizing that it doesn't need American firepower, a Pakistani general said an offensive along the frontier has killed more than 1,000 militants and predicted the region would be "stabilized" within two months.
He also showed photos of militant tunnel systems and trenches in Bajur, suggesting more tough fighting ahead in an area that is considered a likely hiding place for Osama bin Laden and other al-Qaida leaders.
Washington has launched a flurry of missiles and a ground assault on targets within Pakistan recently, infuriating ordinary Pakistanis and their leaders.
In the first serious exchange with Pakistani forces acknowledged by the U.S., American helicopters and Pakistani ground troops briefly traded fire Thursday on the border. The aircraft were not hit and no one was hurt.
U.S. officials said the two choppers were inside Afghanistan when the troops opened fire. Pakistan insisted the aircraft had crossed the ill-defined and contested border.
Pakistani government spokesman Akram Shaheedi urged U.S.-led coalition forces "not to violate (the) territorial sovereignty of Pakistan as it is counterproductive to the war on terror."
"It has been Pakistan's policy that we will not allow anyone to violate our sovereignty, and we will continue to defend our territorial sovereignty," he said.
President Asif Ali Zardari addressed the U.N. General Assembly on Thursday and warned that Pakistan cannot allow its territory to "be violated by our friends." But he struck a more conciliatory note Friday at a brief appearance alongside Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
"I look at U.S. support as a blessing. I look at the world support as a blessing to Pakistan," Zardari said.
Rice did not answer when asked about the border clash, but expressed unwavering U.S. support for Pakistan.
"We know that Pakistan has many challenges in security, in the economy, and in bringing stability to this young democracy," she said. "But we hope that the president and Pakistani people were assured today that the international community will be by their side as they make difficult decisions and move toward a more stable and prosperous Pakistan."
Analysts said while the incident had added to tensions, there was little chance it would herald a wider breakdown, noting that both parties
needed each other.
Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in Washington that Pakistani military leaders have reassured him they have no intention of using force against U.S. troops along the border.
Mullen said he received the reassurance last week while visiting Pakistan. He said he has no reason to believe the relationship has changed because of Thursday's incident.
"I am hard-pressed to see a set of circumstances where there would be any kind of sustained fight between two allies," he said.
The U.S. and NATO sends fuel and other supplies through Pakistan to its troops in Afghanistan, while Pakistan requires help from the U.S. and other Western powers to pull out of a crippling economic crisis.
Thursday's clash drew praise from fiercely anti-American tribesman.
"Pakistan should have reacted against the Americans like this earlier," said Mushtaq Khan. "They started late, but still it is a welcome step."
Sarwar Shah, a 45-year-old bus driver who witnessed the incident, said he was happy to see the Pakistan army firing at the helicopters. "If the army needs our help, we will help it against the Americans," Shah said.
Pakistani officials have long warned that unilateral U.S. actions in the tribal zone risk alienating residents whose cooperation they need in battling the insurgents.
"These incursions strengthen the hands of the militants, that is the result of this," said Talat Masood, a military and political analyst. "You don't want to strengthen them, you want to weaken them."
Pakistan has cited its offensive in the northwestern Bajur border region as an example of its commitment to rooting out extremists there.
Maj. Gen. Tariq Khan told reporters on an army-organized trip to the area Friday "that the consensus is that more than 1,000" militants had been killed since operations began in early August, including "seven or eight renowned Taliban commanders" as well as Arab and Uzbek fighters. He said 63 troops have died and 212 were wounded.
"My timeframe for Bajur is anything from between 1 1/2 to two months to bring about stability," Khan said.
Military officials paraded 10 blindfolded and handcuffed men said to be Taliban fighters arrested in the operation.
One said he was innocent, adding that he was picked up because he looked like a militant.
"I was on my way to my madrassah and ... they arrested me," said the man, who identified himself as Shah Khalid. "They didn't find any weapons with me, they just arrested me because of my hair."
The raid in Karachi targeted militants believed to be part of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, an extremist group linked to al-Qaida. Police said a tip from a captured member of the group led security forces to the house.
The militants were suspected of planning an attack on a "high-profile" target in the city, said Sindh Police Chief Babar Khattak.
Officers seized at least 22 pounds of explosives, two suicide jackets, seven pistols and 12 grenades from the house.
Violence across Pakistan showed no sign of letting up following last weekend's truck bombing of the Hotel Marriott in Islamabad that killed 53 people.
Police raided a militant safehouse in Karachi, sparking a gunfight in which three extremists either blew themselves up or were shot.
A handcuffed man held captive and identified as a supplier of fuel and goods to U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan also died, said senior police official Aleem Jaffry.

Ahhh that makes sense, mines just single disc and I'm 99.999999% sure it should make the noise EVERY time I start the car. If I put a CD in it and leave it in the noise doesn't occur. They have replaced the stereo apparently.
What do you mean apart from the stereo whirring? I've never experienced that on any car I've owned aside from when the permanent live is connected for the first time? Thanks mate
Plea For Help - Power/cd Problem
Peejay1977 posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi all, I posted this a while back : http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/39280-strange-fault-with-whe-cdradiosatnav/ And STILL the problems persist. Basically in the 8 months I have owned the vehicle Evans Halshaw have looked at the car 13 times and had the car for nearly a month in total. They have had a Ford Techie out to the car twice now, the first time he attended he said that plugging a booster pack into the car solved the CD player noise so he said the alternator was knackered. This was replaced and didn't fix the problem. They then said they plugged a spare battery into the car and this solved the problem so they changed the battery. This did not fix it either. They also stated they put my stereo in another vehicle and that stereo in my car and the problem stayed with the vehicle. Further to the problems on the other thread I broke down recently on the M4, called the AA and waited, while I waited I put my phone on charge in the car hoping to get some charge into it but when i then turned on the hazard lights, everytime the lights came on, the phone stopped charging, as soon as the lights went off, the phone started charging again. This alternated the whole time the lights were flashing. The car has been in this week for the Ford Tech to look at it for a second time and he has, and I quote "compared all the readings from my car to an identical one and they match so he has concluded that the car is operating normally". They have stated that Ford Technical have closed the issue and they are not prepared to take the matter any further. I have asked for evidence to convince me that these faults are normal but all I get is "we cannot comment" so, I wonder if you guys could help me. Basically all those with roughly a 10reg Zetec S like mine (or similar) with the following stereo could you answer the following questions for me : 1. When you unlocked the car, and then start the car, does the CD player mechanism whir like it is trying to eject a CD, EVERYTIME you start the vehicle? 2. When you hit a bump, or corner sharply does the entire CD unit cut out for a split second (including the sound)? 3. Do you experience power anomalies such as the ones I've mentioned including the CD player cutting out when operating the heated screen? I'd be really grateful guys if you could help me out, I know it's a bit cheeky but I'm at the end of my tether with this. FYI I have lodged a complaint with Trading Standards today. Many Thanks Paul.
Peejay1977 started following Strange Fault With Whe Cd/radio/satnav and Plea For Help - Power/cd Problem
To be fair theres nearly a years warranty left on it and the faults been there since the day I bought it so trust me when I say they won't be fobbing me off. They aren't saying there isn't anything wrong, simply that they cannot find it. I'll see what the man from Ford says then take it from there.
Thanks all, I'll have to borrow my neighbours meter as mine's bust but I'll see what I can do. To be fair I probably would rather the Ford Tech look at it. I trust they are doing everything they can, the guy thats been looking at it is about 60 and looks like his car knowledge peaked with the Sierra lol Its got just over 25,000miles on the clock.
Strange Fault With Whe Cd/radio/satnav
Peejay1977 posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHey all, Haven't posted in a while so apologies. Got a really weird fault thats been ongoing for months and Ford are now just as stumped as I am. Car is a 2010 Focus Zetec S 1.6TDCi fitted with a towbar (if that makes any difference). I noticed on the day I picked up the car that whenever I unlock the car or start the ignition the CD player mechanism whirs for a good 5 seconds, like it's trying to eject a CD. If I put a CD in and leave it, the noise doesn't happen, nor does it eject the CD. The eject mechanism works just fine though. Every CD player I've ever fitted has done this when the power has first been connected but usually not all the time. Also, whenever I hit a bad bump, or corner sharply, the screen on the head unit flashed off for a split second, this cuts the music as well for that split second.To compound this on a particularly cold day I used the heated windscreen and after a period of time I turned it off, as I did, the head unit screen flashed off and back on. It did this a number of times and I video'd it in case the garage disbelieved me. So in it went, they checked for bad earths, continuity etc and eventually decided to swap the unit under warranty. Long story short, this made no difference to any of the faults at all, in fact on the way home from the garage I pressed the little flap/cubbie hole in front of the gear stick and as it soft opened the head unit flashed off and back on. By this point I was very observant of anything out of the ordinary and since then I have noticed that when the headlights are on, and I turn the heated screen on, as well as the revs lowering a little, which I would expect, the lights dim slightly. I'd expect this on a very old car but not something this new. What I noticed on top of that is that the lights also dim if I turn the heater on anything above number 1. I then noticed that if I turn the little interior light on and turn either the heated screen on or the heater blower, the light "pulses" or flickers slightly, which gets faster the higher number the blower is on. To cap it off if I plug my 1A cigarette lighter USB charger in to charge my iPhone, it puts about 1% of charge into it every 25minutes or so, and if I plug in my other halves Blackberry it refuses to charge and states that the charging source isn't capable. My old Focus was fine and I have tested the charger on other Fords and it works fine. Evans Halshaw have had the car for a weej and are totally stumped, to the extent that a full on Ford Technician is going to have to be sent out to the car at some point soon as they have no idea what it is. To me it sounds like a power drain, bad earth, or interference issue but they say it's nothing obvious. What I also noticed is that when i turn the indicator on, I can hear the indicator "ticking" as normal from the dashboard, but I can hear it from the rear of the car as well. I told them they may want to look at how the towbar has been wired in but they dismissed this as being the cause. Anyone got any ideas? Sorry for the long waffle! Thanks Paul.

Three Lipscomb Bisons have been named to the College Sports Madness 2013 Preseason Atlantic Sun All-Conference teams.
Omar Djabi, a junior midfielder/defender from Franklin, Tenn., was selected to the first team. Last season, Djabi finished the year tied for second on the team with three goals, two assists and eight points. He played in all 20 games making 17 starts.
Robbie Johnson, junior defender from Geneva, Ill., earned a selection to the second team along with sophomore forward Reece Holcombe. Playing in all 20 games in 2012, Johnson tallied one assist and one point.
In his freshman campaign straight from Birmingham, Ala., Holcombe led the team with four goals, and 10 points while only making six starts. Through two exhibition games to start the 2013 season, Holcombe has already scored two goals.
The Bisons begin regular season play Friday, Aug. 30, when Belmont invades the Lipscomb Soccer Complex. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

Portland wins first district championship
In their 10th-straight playoff appearance, the Portland football team earned their first district championship Friday night by defeating Olivet by a score of 36-0.
After a slow start on offense, the Raiders got going in the second, building a 29-0 halftime lead.
We are happy for our kids. They have been working hard for this for a long time, Raider coach John Novara said. "I am also happy for our program. We had a lot of kids over a lot of years put in a lot of time and effort and never got to lift that trophy.
"These guys finally got a chance to do that."
The Portland defense stymied the Eagle offense right from the start of the game, but were unable to build the lead as they struggled to move the ball themselves on offense.
However, in the second, the Raiders finally hit on a few big plays and took advantage of some Olivet penalties as they finally started getting the ball into the end zone. The biggest play of the quarter was an 82-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Tanner Allison to receiver Auston Brandt.
"Our kids worked hard," Novara said. "We were a little nervous to start the game, and once we settled down, we started playing really good football.
Allison paced the Portland ground attack with 57 yards rushing on five carries and scored a touchdown. He also completed four of eight passes for 168 yards, including a pair to Brandt for a total of 140 yards.
Jacob Kimmell picked up 53 yards on six attempts, while Sam Goodman carried the ball 10 times for 50 yards.
On defense, Portland dominated a potent Olivet offense, holding the Eagles to 101 total yards. They also shut down running back Nick Coolidge, who was one of the top runners in the area this season, holding the senior running back to six yards on 14 carries. Last week against Lansing Catholic, Coolidge finished with 287 yards on 25 attempts.
"We're fiery on defense and everybody is just running to the ball, Portland senior defensive end Dylan Carroll said. "It seems like there are 15 guys getting to the ball out there.
"This is great. We went through hard teams we faced seven playoff teams and we are playing very good this year. Us seniors needed it. I couldn't feel any better.
The Raider defense was led by Carroll, who earned eight tackles, three for loss, and recovered a fumble. Zachary Gustafson finished with eight tackles, including four stops for losses, and Randy Gensterblum intercepted a pass.
Portland (10-1) will travel to Flint next week to take on defending Division 5 state champion Powers Catholic.

Halfway through Rin's route now. But I'm finding myself enjoying the "new" Kengo after his fall more.
Everyone's stat was super high (high 100s/low 200s) this time around when the baseball match started, we kicked the captain team's butt (0-9).
Oh, and I laughed as Saitou ripped through the battle ranks.

I finished LB a day or two ago. ha ha! I finished before sushi I went (i think) Komari, Rin, Kudo, Mio, Haruka, Yuichan (lol) order.
Well, this is the first key work I thought something particularly sinister or eerie going around in the overall game at a certain point. And I too made the mistake (like Riki) in trying to answer that in the wrong way.
I don't think theres a point in discussing the final elements to it and such since it seems like not many have finished it yet and probably doesn't even need intro anyway.. lol
I don't really understand the appeal of playing this without JP knowledge but uh I would say your missing out on the game if you spam through it. Though its pretty minor, ...
well let me just say that each play through till the end is essentially "individual" and never a repeat. Theres a point to playing each time and going all those other routes.
Anyway, in general I had a somewhat "not enough" feeling from the game for a short bit at first but I ended up liking it a lot, especially after the overall game started to show up in the playthroughs.
Unfortunately though I would say that due to the "nature" of the overall game its hard to say it has replay value besides for the general story or individual ones. I guess the battle and such maybe worthwhile though, theres some strangeeeee things that show up... like.. Saito da Masked Fighter!
have fun though, it was very good For myself it is easy to put it besides CLANNAD.

well I just finished Yui chan's route... I got pretty lost right about the end... I didn't really understand what was going on with the 20/6 repeat thingy(minor spoiler... kana?) though. If someone is nice enough to tell me what it means I'll be really grateful.
As for the baseball game I won it the first time through but I have to say my team sucked at hitting. All the balls were extremely low and nobody could actually do a home run. I won it coz of the many strike outs and scoring 2 points with Anego and Kyosuke(kyosuke hitting the only decent hit in the entire game)....
Starting on someone new now. So When I complete everything I just start a new game? I looked at my character stats but they aren't carried over from the previous run through which i thought was wierd....
Oh yea I didn't like Noumi alot... found her a little annoying.... *hides from barrage*

Well I'm done with individual scenarios (non-Rin ones) and like some others already stated none of the endings were particulary impressive, but if I had to pick one scenario above the others guess I'd go with Nishizono one, I'm sucker for melancholic beach scenery ;D , or maybe I just liked Mio the best.
Now onto Rin; I see in walkthrough there are 3 different Rin endings, do I have to go through all three to 'open' Refrain part of the game, or just that one good ending?

the rin "bad" (?) route is mandatory (and you probably should have played it earlier since it effects how she acts in the other routes). the 2nd rin route has to be cleared to enter refrain. the rin end is something that comes after finishing refrain.

LOL... I just hate not having a decent enough Japanese language background... I'd get to some points and then feel lost, so I had to go back a few frames and re-read the stuff again with a dictionary in hand... T___T ... pity me! XP
I'm also backlogged with work now, so I'm only spending short bursts playing through the individual scenarios... =[

Ah... done with Komari... I found her character very similar to Nayuki from Kanon though... accept a little more childish. Storyline wise I thought it was simple but pretty good. My 2nd happy ending of the game(first being Haruka I guess but i sort of speeded past that to get the CGs then i realise i cant go her route till i complete the game so prolly gonna do her route again at the end) lol... hope there is more to come... Next up... hmm... Kudo? argg her voice is annoying though... *Hides from more barrage*

LOL... I just finished Kudo's route last night and I thought it was alright. Not spectaular but enjoyable enough. And I love Kudo's voice acting! It's so adorable!
But yeah, I think I'll give the game a rest until after I finish all this work I have. So far I've been happy with both Komari's and Kudo's routes. ^^ And I realised I didn't get to complete Rin's 'bad' route earlier... T_T

Well I finished Refrain a couple of days ago and I must say that these two last scenarios were so much better then the rest of the game, not that I disliked those parts either but it was just on a whole different level.
Spoiler for some thoughts about Refrain:

Also after reading your post I had this idea of playing through all the girls' routes and then doing Rin's bad end last, and then going back to a clean slate and then finishing Rin's bad end early and then doing all the girls again to see the differences. Do you think this marathon is worth it?

on the second question, really depends. storywise, it's better to do the rin bad end early on (if not first), while saving it for last on the second complete playthrough to see the exact differences.
and boggart. the rin bad end is the one where the screen goes black.
this is where the voice congratulates on coming this far but tells you still have a way to go (so you have to finish the other routes).

FCIAC, SCC announce football crossover for 2013 and 2014
After months of negotiations, the FCIAC and SCC announced an agreement on Tuesday afternoon that should provide an unprecedented kickoff to the high school football season in Connecticut the next two years.
The leagues, taking advantage of an extra week in each of the next two seasons that will allow schools to play 11 regular season games, will hold 24 contests in both 2013 and 2014, including 17 in the opening week.
Staples and Xavier, which played for the CIAC LL championship a year ago, will now face each other to start the next two seasons. The same with New Canaan and Daniel Hand, last year's Class L finalists.
"It's a tremendous opportunity for the SCC and FCIAC and I am so pleased," said SCC commissioner Al Carbone. "It was a collaborative effort between the two leagues. We know we are the best two leagues in the state. There are a lot of risks for our schools, teams and coaches playing competitive games like this."
Indeed, some of the state's top teams will face the prospect of opening the next two seasons with losses that could endanger their postseason prospects."
"It's scary but it's good for high school football," said New Canaan coach Lou Marinelli, who is the head of the FCIAC football committee and was active in the negotiations between the leagues. "You are now going to start the year with a tough common opponent against some of the best teams in the state. It is definitely a risk with the state tournament."
More Information
SCC/FCIAC Football Challenge matchups Week 1: New Canaan vs. Daniel Hand ; Staples vs. Xavier ; Darien vs. Hillhouse; Ridgefield vs. Cheshire; Greenwich vs. West Haven; St. Joseph vs. Notre Dame-West Haven; Bridgeport Central vs. North Haven; Trumbull vs. Shelton; Stamford vs. Fairfield Prep; Danbury vs. Hamden; Wilton vs. Guilford; Fairfield Warde vs. Foran; Trinity Catholic vs. Sheehan; Brien McMahon vs. Wilbur Cross; Fairfield Ludlowe vs. Lyman Hall; Bassick vs. East Haven; Harding vs. Law. Week 2: St. Joseph vs. Fairfield Prep; Week 3: Wilton vs. Branford Week 4: Ridgefield vs. Notre Dame -West Haven Week 5: Trinity Catholic vs. Foran Week 8: Fairfield Warde vs. Sheehan Week 9: Fairfield Ludlowe vs. East Haven Week 10: Darien vs. North Haven Note: Branford and Amity (SCC) will not play in Week 1 as Amity had previously committed to playing Seymour. Branford will play another opponent (TBD). Norwalk and Westhill (FCIAC) will play in Week 1. In addition, seven additional SCC-FCIAC games will be played in each of the next two seasons. Since both leagues have an odd number of teams playing football, teams in each league have "open weeks" in their schedules. As a result, the leagues were able to match up seven games.
Some of the other more intriguing contests will include Darien facing Hillhouse, and Greenwich taking on West Haven. Stamford and Fairfield Prep, rivals in a bygone era, will meet again.
To make the most of the opportunity and gain the greatest exposure, the games will be spread out over four days. The sites, dates and times have not yet been announced.
In addition, since each league has an odd number of members, seven more games, spread out during the course of the season, were set to help schools fill byes.
"I'm even more excited about some of those games," Carbone said.
Right now only New Canaan and Brien McMahon are left in the FCIAC to fill open spots in their schedules.
The biggest obstacle in finalizing the plan was caused by Amity, which prior to the talks had agreed to play Seymour. Amity refused to alter its schedule, which created a void for Norwalk, which was matched up against Amity.
In the end, Norwalk and Westhill agreed to meet in the opening week, while Branford, which was supposed to face Westhill, agreed to find another game.
"If you look top to bottom, there are some very competitive games," Carbone said. "That's what high school sports are all about."

Shugdens, the 2nd link you show is probably Ferro too, but I am not going to bet my money on it not unless I could examine it in my hands. I too am ready for the SVdA book to come out. It will help me solve some mysteries of my own. I have two pieces that I have questions about.

As I mentioned earlier, the new year has been all about veggies :)
I continue to be surprised about my boyfriend's weight loss - He is now 6 kilos lighter than when he started 1st January this year.
He continues to drop between 1/2-1 kilo each week !He still eat how much he wants, whenever he wants and he drinks waay more soda than he should. He doesn't even move a bit, since he is usually studying or gaming all day. I envy his transformation so much !
For me, being a long time vegetarian - I haven't lost much I think. I started exercising too, so it might be due to a weight gain in muscles.
I got a fab jacket, some bags and super cute warm boots on january sale + some basic clothes though I haven't gotten around to take pictures yet.
Other than that, I've been up to some parties and seeing my lovely bestie Simone a lot :)
Social? yes. Healthier? yes. Skinny? naah... average as always, but we'll work on that ;)
Time for pics:
This was an amazing brunch ♥ Scrambled tofu, bread with becel, semi baked tomatoes, lentil balls and some wonderful facon.
Egg plant filling, tasted better than it looked !
Let's round it all up with a crappy, unlucky photo of me and my lovely lady ;)

Making CAPTCHAs Productive
from the now-there's-a-good-idea dept
About five years ago, Louis von Ahn was the PhD. student who came up with the idea for CAPTCHAs, the little requests to "type this" before you could fill out a form or sign up for a service. These days, of course, such CAPTCHAs have become nearly ubiquitous. Since then, Ahn has gone on to create other online systems that figured out ways to shift labor resources to users, such as the ESP Game, which is designed to make image search much more effective (and which Google eventually licensed). However, it seems that Ahn has switched his attention back to CAPTCHAs after recognizing what a productivity drain they must be. The nice thing about the ESP Game is the end result benefits image search. CAPTCHAs only help weed out spammers and scammers. However, John writes in to let us know that Ahn's latest work is about making CAPTCHAs useful. What he's done is made it so the text that users have to type are scans from books or other printed materials that are being scanned by Brewster Kahle's Internet Archive project. That way, each time people are simply trying to enter a comment on a website, they're also helping to turn a scanned word into text for the Internet Archive. Of course, if someone were really sneaky, they would just do the same sort of thing and hook it up to Amazon's Mechanical Turk and keep all the earnings. Every time someone entered a comment on a site, it would earn you money. So, if anyone wants to do this, please reserve a cut for me.
