Two members of the Central Connecticut men's track and field team were honored with Northeast Conference weekly awards, the league announced Tuesday. Freshman Joseph Gioielli claimed NEC Rookie of the Week for his performance at Princeton's Larry Ellis Inviational and sophomore Brian Biekert was named Track Athlete of the Week for his record-breaking steeplechase performance at Princeton.
Gioielli jumped up to second on the Northeast Conference leader board in the 800m run thanks to his latest performance at Princeton's Larry Ellis Invitational. The first-year Blue Devil won his heat at Princeton by crossing the line in 1:51.33. In addition to coming in well under the qualifying standard for the IC4A Championships in May, Gioielli pulled within 0.20 second of NEC event leader Ford Palmer (Monmouth). The rookie runner earned a bronze medal in the 800m during what was his NEC Championship debut back in February.
Biekert is back in the NEC weekly spotlight for the first time since indoor season. The second-year Blue Devil captured the NEC Track Athlete of the Week award on Jan. 22 for his work in the mile run. Now competing outdoors, Biekert claims the conference's weekly track honor thanks to his sub-9:00 steeple chase. Bierkert surged to the top of the league leader board by completing the 3,000m race in 8:59.11. The time was good enough for the silver medal at Princeton's Larry Ellis Invitational and will ultimately guarantee Biekert a return trip to Princeton for the IC4A Championships in May. The Blue Devil's latest performance, which ranks 17th overall in the NCAA East Region, was more than 15 seconds better than the IC4A standard.

Obama to focus on the economy in State of the Union… A reminder: As the economy goes, so goes Obama (and his second-term agenda)… The speech, politically, also will be a way to frame the sequester debate… Rubio's chance in the spotlight… And the danger for Hagel: having his confirmation vote linger.
As NBC's Tracie Potts reports, the president's State of the Union speech "will outline his plan to create jobs and grow the middle class by investing in people."
*** Focusing on the economy: President Obama's inaugural address last month was billed as a call to action, as well as a not-so-subtle declaration that American politics had been transformed -- on the role of government, on gay rights, and on war. But tomorrow night's State of the Union will have a slightly different focus, White House aides say, with Obama emphasizing the economy and revisiting the economic themes from his re-election campaign. The speech "will outline his plan to create jobs and grow the middle class by investing in people," an administration official tells First Read, adding: "The president's plan grows the economy from the middle out by investing in manufacturing, clean energy, education, and infrastructure." Obama also will call on Congress to reduce the nation's deficit and debt, including via entitlement reform, but he will say these cuts need to be balanced and not borne solely by the middle class. The White House always viewed his two big speeches in three weeks (the inaugural and State of the Union) as two bites at the bully-pulpit apple. And the same administration official calls the two speeches "two acts in the same play." While the White House maintains they have been focused on the economy, tomorrow's speech will put an end to the chatter (they hope) that they haven't spent enough time TALKING about the economy.

President Barack Obama speaks during an Armed Forces Farewell Tribute in honor of outgoing Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta at Joint Base Myer-Henderson in Arlington, Va., Feb. 8, 2013.
*** A reminder: As the economy goes, so goes Obama (and his second-term agenda): Yet with Obama spending his political capital on his proposals to curb gun violence and reform the nation's immigration system -- which he'll also address on Tuesday -- reemphasizing the economy allows the president to return to the issue that remains the public's top concern. After all, the unemployment rate, while down substantially from its high in 2009, is at 7.9%, and GDP contracted in the fourth quarter of 2012. And according to our national NBC/WSJ poll, only 36% of respondents said they were either "very" or "fairly" confident in Obama's ability to promote a strong and growing economy. Remember, if the economy slows down, it makes it harder to get anything else done (like on guns or immigration).
*** Framing the sequester: Another way to look at Obama's State of the Union is to frame the budget debate over the looming sequester -- that is, the automatic spending cuts (in defense and other programs) set to take place in March. As Politico writes, "President Barack Obama's State of the Union speech will be less a presidential olive branch than a congressional cattle prod. Emboldened by electoral victory and convinced the GOP is unwilling to cut deals, Obama plans to use his big prime-time address Tuesday night to issue another broad challenge at a Republican Party he regards as vulnerable and divided, Democrats close to Obama say." More: "Privately, administration officials see [the speech] as an extension of Obama's unabashedly provocative and progressive Jan. 21 inaugural address, their latest attempt to leverage favorable deals on the sequester and the debt ceiling comparable to the watershed deal Obama secured on increasing taxes on the wealthy. Obama now hopes to use his post-election popularity to force new tax increases and fewer budget cuts on Republicans as part of any deal to avert a $1.2 trillion menu of automatic cuts increasingly likely to kick in on March 1." This won't be as easy as the fiscal cliff because Obama has got to get Congress to pro-actively stop it. And right now, House Republicans seem nearly unified on the idea of letting the cuts happen.
*** Rubio's chance in the spotlight: In addition to Obama, there's another person who will be in the spotlight on Tuesday night -- Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), who is giving the GOP response. This is a great opportunity for the potential 2016er. But as we noted last week, the State of the Union responder hasn't been a great stepping stone for those looking to run for higher office. In fact, the last eventual party nominee to deliver the response was Sen. Bob Dole (R-KS) in 1996. And the last person to deliver one and go on to be president was Bill Clinton in 1985 when he was governor of Arkansas.
*** Do you have to let it linger? Finally, while it remains pretty clear that Chuck Hagel still has the votes to be confirmed as the president's defense secretary, any day that goes by when there's not a vote isn't a good day for him. That said, Politico reports that the Senate Armed Services Committee could vote on Hagel's nomination as soon as Tuesday, "but Republican aides reacted to that idea by suggesting that some members could walk out in protest." Democrats and the Obama White House, if they want him confirmed, can't let his nomination linger.Click here to sign up for First Read emails.

text: Power Hour: Best Market Strategy for Corn and Soybeans? Be Patient April 12, 2013 09:30 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ed Clark Top Producer Business and Issues Editor Email Don't panic. Plenty of time exists to still sell old crop corn and soybeans. "We are only halfway through the marketing year," notes Frayne Olson, ag economist at North Dakota State University. Moreover, given the rapid ratcheting down in prices in recent weeks, particularly for old crop corn, the odds favor higher prices from present levels rather than lower ones, he says. "There is still hope for a price rally." While the paring back of demand has been necessary given the reduction in supplies of last year's crop, "maybe the market has overcompensated," he says. Old crop pricing opportunities? Now through planting for sure, Olson says. "As I look into the crystal ball, I see other opportunities this year to price old crop. A 50 cent retracement from where we are right now to $6.75 is still very doable." Furthermore, he looks for lower corn prices to stimulate more usage. For instance, feedlots that had switched to feeding wheat from corn are now more likely to switch back. Exports, too, have the potential to bounce back somewhat, and he suggests keeping an eye on USDA's weekly export reports. While fundamentals favor a spring rally, it's not a given, however, because of the possibility of bearish macro events: "Uncertainty about North Korea, uncertainty about the U.S. and international economy, and continuing uncertainty about Europe." A bump for soybeans and wheat is not as likely as that for old crop corn, however, because those two crops did not see the same price reduction in response to USDA's Grain Stocks report of a month ago, he says. On new crop corn, any delays in planting could send prices higher. Already, he says that in the northern outreaches of the Corn Belt that still have snow on the ground, there is talk of switching to shorter season varieties. That would reduce yield potential, he adds. Furthermore, dissecting the Prospective Plantings report shows that corn acreage is held the same or actually reduced in states in the heart of the Corn Belt, with the increases coming in northern regions with less yield potential, such as North Dakota. All acres are not the same, with the yield potential in North Dakota not near that of Iowa, Olson notes. The market has not yet focused on this, he adds. "No way has the 2013 crop been made." For old crop soybeans, Olson says a short-term market pop during planting due largely to logistical issues is quite possible. "Watch local basis," he advises. Olson sees a trading range developing between $13.40 and $14.60, with prices right now on the low end of that. "A 50-cent recovery in soybean prices would represent a good short-term pricing opportunity." On new crop, Olson says that if anything, soybean acreage expectations were on the high end of the range in the Prospective Plantings report. As a result, some new crop pricing opportunities could present themselves. For More Information Read more Power Hour news, blogs and videos. Back to news

Filled out my first Census form ever. Was NOT impressed at the available answers for genetic make-up. I'm not Caucasian, I do NOT have ties to Russia or even look like I'm from the Caucus mountains. I also despise the stupid "what kind of hispanic are you" question. Only hispanics get the full run down of options. Everyone else is pretty much lumped together. Also, since when are Middle Easterners WHITE? I've met many from different lands including Israel and they do NOT look white by any stretch of the color scale. So just to screw with them I marked all our genetic makeups & said we were "Texans" as our race. Just like what I put on my voter's registration card & my driver's license. When the government asks me stupid questions, I like to screw with them!
I'm starting the garden. Its a tiny bit late but I'm now on blood pressure meds so I have to limit my sun exposure. Considering last year's cold weather I *should* get about 2 harvest of most veggies and fruits in before the frost comes.
I'm working on starting a frog pond - again taking longer than I'd like due to sun sensitivity issues - as that is the last thing I need to do to set up our back yard as a Certified Wildlife Habitat with the National Wildlife Fund. I already know I get squirrels, rabbits, & several different kinds of birds. I've put up bat houses but so far no takers. I'm hoping to teach the kiddos about some of the world around them a bit more up close this summer.
We've got a new family member. Dottie is part chocolate lab, part whippet. She's only 35lbs but a wonderful dog. She likes her 2 mile morning walks and I'll be honest, I can use the exercise. The cat and she get along okay. I won't say they're fast friends yet but they'll secretly sleep on the couch together as long as no whoomans are watching them.
I've got some baby Robins under the back patio! They're ugly little things, really only a mother could love them they're that ... just homely little creatures. However I found them on Mother's Day so I guess I love them too.
So everything is moving along here in VA. I'm hoping everything is going well in cyberspace. Oh! Don't forget that Her Majesty, the QOAE has returned!

One common cell phone problem is the non-working keypad, but before you start re-reading your Verizon return policy, check to make sure your keypad is unlocked. A "locked" keypad keeps you from accidentally dialing numbers while the phone is in your pocket.
Some people get the locked cell phone keypad issue confused with a "locked" cell phone. These locked cell phone complaints usually happen when a customer buys a phone without subscribing to a plan at the same time. Many cell phones have a computer chip which only allows them to be used with a particular cell phone provider and requires activation. A locked keypad is easily fixed with a quick look at the cell phone user/equipment manual to learn your phone's unlock procedure. A locked cell phone requires you to sign up for cell phone service.

Who gets most of the training in your organization? Is it senior management, department heads or front-line staff? If your club is like most, senior management gets the most training. Recent studies in corporate America show that management receives more than 65 percent of the formal training offered at companies. However, what differentiates your club from the one down the street is often your front-line staff. Common sense tells us that when your employees are properly trained and coached, they can positively impact both the sales and retention at your club.
Summer, a traditionally slow time for clubs, is a great time to train new staff and energize your team to deliver superior service. Many owners who are looking for creative and effective ways to train their staff have instituted boot camps that are fun and help build team morale.
Good employee attitude and morale can give your club the edge to compete in your crowded marketplace. Southwest Airlines has grown its brand through its policy of hiring happy people. McDonald's has a successful training program for all its new entrepreneurs, even the ones who may be millionaires before they purchase a franchise. Disney has designed a delivery system that focuses on the employees, environment and processes that enhance quality service. What kind of training programs and employee orientation do you have in your company?
Training and development of all staff are important to the bottom line of any organization. Consider how many of your staff are terminated for reasons such as attitude problems, not being able to do the job or not fitting in with your club.
In this economy, no one can afford to let qualified workers walk out the door. Are you following or creating a program to help retain your employees? Are you looking at the long- and short-term objectives, employee and job needs, market trends and climate? Have you established standards of success? Successful club owners involve employees in the process of creating acceptable standards of operation as much as possible. This helps ensure buy-in.
Have you looked at all the resources that are available? Have you kept current on the latest information and trends? Have you decided who needs training? Have you scheduled appropriate trainers? Often, the best employee is not the best trainer. Trainers must be current on adult-learning principles and use them to help motivate participants to apply their learned skills.
Are you prioritizing the skill sets needed? Many owners may need to start with basic technical skills, ensuring that staff is competent in the job fundamentals. Likewise, interpersonal and integrative skills should be planned because of the constant change in the workplace. Strategic and operational planning is great for those leaders groomed for upward mobility.
On-the-job training is the mode of learning that seems to be most common in clubs, but is the staff getting guidance and positive reinforcement at the same time? Mentoring and job rotation are great measures to consider, providing good one-on-one or group interaction.
Perform follow-up assessment and training, too. When you train, you'll want to know how effective your processes are and what positive changes resulted. Regularly scheduled training is a must for companies interested in growing and pleasing customers.
Clubs are realizing that achieving customer satisfaction is essential to maintaining a competitive advantage, but winning customer loyalty and commitment is challenging. Isn't it time you invested in your team?

A bit late, though i was finally able to watch the subbed version - and i must say i'm very much interested in this show. One look at it and you just see beautiful after beautiful scenes - though there's a lot more to it, its able to carry on delivering that beautiful feeling through the entire episode. Shall have to check out the manga now.
& of course - people who know me know that'll be commenting on the musical score. So far its got a epic/beautiful feeling to it - works perfectly for this show, though that is what Kubota Mina is known for.

This episode was a great one. As said above, I think what I want most right now is to know about Kuu's power. Is she an absolute angel? Is she a hidden tool? Can't wait for next episode!
Also I like the flowing romance between the two girls, call it romance or not, but I like it!
The subbed version is out now, sorry for the delay.

Episode 2 has tons of fanservice Oh! it's kinda strange because Ayako released ep. 2 as an .avi when ep. 1 was in .mp4 format. Hmm, I wonder if they'll also release an avi format for ep. 1?
--> Anyway, Himeko and Chikane look alike are in this episode

The reason bishounen has a common feature of feminine beauty is related to "shounen", rather than "bi."
You know shounen does not have equal masculine beauty since they are not mature as males and still neutral in their bodily development.
I don't think I have ever seen someone who is actually female being called bishounen.
She can look like one in male clothing and sometimes is mistaken for bishounen, but that's it.
It is true that most manga magazines are officially designated for a specific sex, but in reality marketing teams of such magazines do care about the opposite sex, which tends to be inherited by the animation teams.
For example, Red Garden is serialized in a seinen (young man) mag, but its animation is marketed in affiliation with a female fashion brand for the purpose of approaching female audience.
Peach Pot (the mangaka group of Rozen-Maiden) has been serializing a fantasy manga titled Zombie-Loan in a shounen mag and the series is notorious for the mix of boys' love and yuri. It apparently proves that it is aimed at both sexes and thus was criticized by male readership of the mag.
Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destinty is a mecha anime and that makes male fans tempted to think they are for them.
But the series were blatantly conscious of Gundam Wing which was famous as Yaoi Gundam.
Code Geass, a recent hit by Sun Rise, is a similar case in that it is a mecha but is actually aimed at both sexes.
Shounen Jump, a representative shounen manga mag in Japan, has serialized Naruto, Bleach, Death Note and One Piece and all of the titles are externally shounen but are known as actually trying to feed their shoujo fans by deliberately downplaying female characters and providing attractive male characters continuously.
You know, this is not my opinion but is a well-known strategy among Japanese manga and anime people.
If you wanna talk about Kaishaku, the mangaka of Kyoshiro and KnM,
the group is one of the mangakas who keep a neutral position in most of their titles even though their mangas are serialized in shounen or seinen mags.
That's why KnM has a typical shoujo romance meme, yaoi tint and a group of bishounen.
That's why Kyoshiro features a bunch of bishounen, a bro-con bishounen protagonist, a heroine with loose Cinderella complex, and her narrative from a typical shoujo viewpoint.
If any of you don't like its shoujo-ishness, I'm sorry that's not your cup of tea.
You had better find more conservative shounen or seinen shows with unattractive male protagonists in any girl's opinion.
The truth is the traditional designation of shounen, seinen, shoujo and joushi is becoming less and less helpful in deciding the actual genre of a show, if you agree to my definition of such a genre that it refers to the marketing target of its producing group.

And I hope you're not missing a valuable point here: manga serialized in seinen magazines will always be called seinen manga, and that's because the author started out with elements that would be more comfortable to young men. Kaishaku obviously serialized Kannazuki no Miko and Kyoushirou to Towa no Sora in male oriented magazines because... well, it's pretty obvious to me at least. First and foremost reason: lesbians are still in a minority, and those kind of relationships are mostly fantasized by men. Kannazuki no Miko's prevailing theme was a relationship between two women that was idealized for a man's vision of them. There were bishounen in KnM but that doesn't mean it had BL/shoujo themes/elements. It just had bishounen.
Don't get me wrong; I love that both men and women can enjoy this show, because it has both moe and bishounen. I believe these kinds of shows are winners, still I'm not going to get out of my way and proclaim it as a shoujo show just because I'm a rabid BL fangirl who sees things that aren't there. (And I'm not.)

Episode 02 - Three Gorgeous Month Hundred Nights
Just like many of you I have to revise my first impressions upon my views for the start of this series.
Episode two successfully answered many of the weird mysteries and out of place unknowns introduced in the first episode. It is this episode that truly sets the plotline in motion.
Basically, it introduces three subplots for each sets of group characters.
1. Kuu possess a mysterious potential that appeals to Kyoshiro's interests. However, being the gentlemanly prince that he is, Kyoshiro is not going to force Kuu to come with them but rather to extend her an invitation to come together.
As I was suspecting since episode one and just as Kuu was nervous asking to Setsuna, I do believe that Setsuna in fact harbors a tender feeling for Kyoshiro, but she's unwilling to speak it out fearing it'll be rude or uncomfortable to Kyoshiro.
If you paid close attention, when Kyoshiro was holding hands with Kuu and pulling her closely to him on a tender manner, Setsuna was motionless watching (as the good Angel that serves her Master with obedience) but her eyes are wavering, which is an evident sign that she's keeping the pain and jealousy on herself and building up.
And I do have at least a simple look of how this route between the three of them is going to lead in a later episode.
2. The second subplot features the reincarnated characters of KnM into Kaon and Himiko. No matter how close they remain to each other, they can never be together since all powers involved are making use of Absolute Angel. Exactly which goal is to be achieved remains a mystery, what is known is that the initial introduction of both girls made them look to be antagonists.
This is not the case because both are constantly tormented and bullied by the lustful and selfish desires of Mika, who I presume is the leader of the Moon Spiral.
She actually harbors intense, lustful desires for Kaon and is fiercely jealous watching how receptive Kaon is to Himiko.
She torments and psychologically abuses Kaon in order to subdue her and to make hers and finds that the most effective mechanism to break Kaon's will is to have her way with Himiko out of grudge to the latter's compliance, as just as Kaon cannot act against her master and watches helplessly Himiko being picked on by the other girls or to be punished by Mika.
I can imagine that Mika sexually assaults Himiko for punishment and may has done many ecchi things to her to demoralize her and thus earning every time Kaon's hatred and contempt.
It's obvious that on a later arc Kaon will snap and return back the pain and humiliation to Mika a 1000x worse; it's for certain.
3. The third suplot is about Kuu's mysterious prince.
I know that in episode one she mentioned his name, but I do not remember it. Anyone knows the name of Kuu's prince?
Kyoshiro comments he has an older brother, so common sense would tell me to jump right to the conclusion that Kuu's prince and Kyoshiro must be siblings.
I'm also apologizing for the opening song, Cross*Heart, since having it listened to for the second time it makes to begin warming up to the song, but I do disagree that song is fitting for the opening video; it's just too fairy-talish, fantasy, and sweet for the tone of the opening footage.
Someone mentioned that they missed this show not features KOTOKO performing either of the OP or ED songs.
If Face of Fact ~ Resolution Ver. ~, would had not been used as the OP for BALDR FORCE, then that song would had been my suggestion to be used for the OP to this series; it's fitting.
Overall, a vast improvement in this episode from the previous one.
Most of the shots from the bath scene easily earned a R-15 rating.

I'm happy that the second episode carried on the beautiful feeling of the series - this'll be one series i'll have to buy the R2 Japanese DVD's for win-win quality. Time for a bit of speculation~
Spoiler for speculation:
We also have release dates for the OP & ED.. though no OST release yet. Thats what has me refreshing sites now and then.
OP Single release = 24th January
ED Single release = 21st February
Also, i checked out the first volume of the manga *points to his avatar*. Its just pas beautiful as the anime, probably a lot more - though its seriously in need of a lot more colored pages, though that can't be helped.

I'm starting to think people need to see KnM before watching this to get this, not because of any references to the plot, but because of the similarities in style and swagger. I think a lot of people miss that this is an unusual style of story-telling (with an unusual story) where the emphasis isn't so much on creating a premise and following a plot, but more on putting the main character in overwhelming situations and following how she emotionally reacts. Which is why both this and KnM have easily-awed main characters and lots of internal commentaries. I think it's a very unusual mix of shoujo or shounen that a lot of people find difficult to grasp.
Ep 2.
Even if this show does start sucking, I'll continue watching because I've just totally fallen in love with the soundtrack. That's the difference between this and other shows that people say suck... I know for certain that there'll be something in this that I like. But, tbh, I don't think this sucks. I'm actually quite enjoying this show, even though I'll admit that the over-the-top style, the bizarre character actions, the weird setting and premise, etc, are an acquired taste. The rules of engagement seem to be set and there's a stark parallel with Mai-Otome, in that "anything goes". That's fair enough, but I think that could pave the way for some deus ex machina appearing in the plot later on. I'm still worried that the antagonists are (again) flat, with Chikane's (I mean Kaon's) mistress seems generic and "evil" for the sake of it. The other two (whose names aren't important enough to remember) actually had a refreshingly human interaction, but it was hurt by an attempt at humour that wasn't that funny. At least there's a hint at more-than-meets-the-eye for those two.
Good stuff so far. I dig shows like this that are willing to be strange and draw things from several genres. I suppose it's just not for everyone.

I didn't care for KnM. Sorry, but I'm not for Yuri pairings, unless it's side characters. I want my main characters very hetero thank you very much.
So far this series has my interests peaked, but they better keep the Yuri down.

Dell should make a workstation blade like IBM and HP or Clearcube. I think it has many advantages for administrator and users. Administrators have the computers in their air conditioned server room all together and the users only have a fanless little box where then can connect usb devices, monitors (at least two) and sound.
This would be perfect because if you buy a Precision workstation from dell it is really too loud and noisy. Like at Clearcube you should be able to choose from diffenerent Ports with diffenent features. They also should be able to connect through ethernet cable (Cat5e).
I would love to see that from Dell. With the Dell support of course =)

This creates a unique cross section that facilitates both penetration of the tip and cutting power previously unknown in such a thick, narrow blade. The integral handle of the spike compliments its minimalist theme. It has been carefully shaped out of solid steel, wrapped with cord and had all of its sharp edges "melted" so they don't irritate the hand.
Each spike comes with a sturdy Secure-Ex sheath and steel bead lanyard so you can wear it around your neck or lash it to a "D" ring, fanny pack, or other gear.

Best of 2010 Awards: Plays Well With Others
Blizzard's latest real-time strategy game, StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, was launched in a tough multiplayer spot with a lot to live up to. Its predecessor was still being played by the hardcore and is a national sport in South Korea. On the other side of the coin, the RTS genre had become more and more niche over the years since the company's last release, Warcraft III. Blizzard succeeded in releasing a game that was eSport ready on day one, but was also fun for more casual players. The innovative leagues and ladder system offers meaningful matchmaking and rankings to all but the most skilled players, while custom games and comp stomps sweeten the deal. With two expansions on the way and more tournaments than we can count, StarCraft II is well on its way to being played for the next ten years just like the original.
Runner-up: Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
Brotherhood's multiplayer rewards planning and strategy in a way that is extremely satisfying. It shatters the multiplayer mold set by run-and-gun games like Call of Duty and makes patience the player's most powerful weapon. There are few thrills in multiplayer gaming equal to carefully stalking your playter-controlled prey, while the constant danger of a blade to the back hangs over your head.
Nominees: Halo: Reach, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Rock Band 3, Alien Swarm, Monday Night Combat.

The single-camera sitcom will revolve around egotistical boss Eve at a luxury goods department store, played by co-writer and executive producer Sharon Horgan. Her methods are challenged when the owner's son shows up and makes trendy youth and sex the new company image.
Spade will play Tobias Eastmore Jr., the owner's brat son and heir apparent to Eastmore's. Tobias will come into the job with a reputation as a womanizer and failed entrepreneur.
Harris, whose recent TV credits include Fox's "New Girl," will portray Linda, Eve's best friend and coworker. She is full of bad decisions about work and men but stays weirdly optimistic.
Horgan will write the script with her "Dead Boss" colleague Holly Walsh and executive produce alongside Kapital Entertainment's Aaron Kaplan. Ben Taylor will direct the ABC Studios pilot, which will film in Los Angeles.
The "Bad Management" pilot is in second position to Spade's "Rules of Engagement," filling the CBS midseason, so unless the show is cancelled, ABC may have to tap a new lead.

From Rags to Riches: A Look at How Montenegrins and Other Eastern Europeans Are Enticed to Humboldt County Marijuana Farms
For breaking news and in-depth articles on countries such as Bulgaria, Albania, and Montenegro in southeast Europe, many read BalkanInsight, a publication run by award-winning journalists. Today, it posted an article about the Montenegrin connection to Humboldt County's marijuana farms.
The piece describes forces that push Montenegrins to leave their home and head to our area in large numbers. On the one hand, in their country, they face vast economic problems. On the other hand, they hear enticing tales of riches earned in Humboldt County. One former trimmer described a virtual financial paradise. "All you needed was to go down to Eureka…and ask around for trimming jobs. The Americans also provide food and accommodation and my net income hits 450 to 500 dollars per day," she said.
One man, who goes only by Milan in the article, compares coming here to his grandfather also coming here as a gold miner. Milan said he came to Humboldt County because he was in danger of losing the house and lands that had once belonged to his grandfather–a man who had once panned for gold in California. The article states,
"Marijuana fields have become my fields of gold, and I am not far from the place where my grandfather used to live once," he said.
"I had no choice and was on the edge of the abyss, both financially and physically. Back in Montenegro, I snatched the house and land away from the banks and my family is safe. I am so grateful to America; there's no greater country in the world," he said.
Though the piece reads a bit awkwardly at times (as if, it was written in another language and translated to English–a likely explanation given the mangled nature of quotes attributed to Kym Kemp), it is overall an excellent look at what it means to be a trimmigrant or marijuana grower from Eastern Europe.
Apparently, "Californian marijuana is an unavoidable topic in the cafés of Podgorica these days – especially the amounts of money that many have earned in the pot industry." According to the writer, the following video by Milos Beli Pavicevic of Podgorica which has had over 100,000 views adds "to the frenzy." According to the article, Pavicevic "protects himself from the summer heat with thick wads of 100-dollar bills, out of which he makes cooling fans as "Benjamin Franklins" rain upon him."
The writer said, "Three people that we spoke to mentioned Pavicevic as a good and well-intentioned intermediary for Montenegrins when it comes to accommodation and jobs at the pot farms."
If anyone can translate the following video, we have a feeling we would learn even more…[UPDATE: a reader tells us the man only says, "[I] feel so hot" repeatedly. Then, according to the reader, he added, "[L]ook how the money falls from the sky."] [UPDATE 2: The person who posted the video we talked about apparently did not like the publicity and removed it.]
While the video looks too good to be true, the stories from Montenegrian workers here appear to back up that a good living can be made in the Emerald Counties. Some of the workers plan to bring families and eventually apply to stay here, according to the article.
The article closes with one man's dream of getting work in our community:
A retired senior police investigator was in the queue for a tourist visa, hoping to work in the cannabis fields; for possession of the same, he used to arrest people in Montenegro.
"My goal is to whisk my family away from here, so my children have a future, as free persons who dare to speak their mind," he said.

Cécile Hortensia has created a cross-cultural music lesson with her upcoming album, Papillons [produced by Olivier Zahm]. She switches between French and English with an ease and fluidity rare in artists who attempt bilingual music careers. While most artists falter with linguistic transition, Cécile embodies both languages effortlessly. Her album has a natural rhythm and flow that could only come from someone whose story reflects the same.
After learning that Cécile Hortensia grew up in a small town in Northeastern France, moving to the French Alps for University and later to Phoenix, AZ, I was interested by her sudden change of trajectory. Undoubtedly, the move to America is at the heart of her album. The loneliness, excitement, and overwhelming adjustments of such a move give the songs on Papillons a deeper meaning.
Reflecting on her decision to move to the United States, Cécile laughed, "America is still for dreamers, I guess." She continued by saying, "I came to pursue the freedom of opportunity that everyone envisions in the US. It's a melting pot of cultures, art, music, and history, and the draw of the 'Wild West' was incredibly alluring." So she upped and moved to Phoenix, AZ, which is a place Cécile feels is truly home. The atmosphere couldn't be more different than a village in the French Alps, but this diversity of experiences and cultures has equipped Cécile with an incredible artistic repertoire.
More than being a great collection of individual songs, Papillons as a whole creates a unique juxtaposition of experiences and places. For instance, the first song on the album, entitled "Les Papillons dans l'Estomac" immediately transports you to the Parisian streets, and I imagined myself walking past a café with the smell of crepes and croissants wafting out to the sidewalk. Then you immediately move to a song like "Cactus Road" which clearly paints a picture of the Arizona desert. What might seem like an interesting track order is actually the perfect glimpse into Cécile's own experience of simultaneously existing in two vastly different cultures.
When I first received this album in the mail, I was taken aback by the physical likeness between Cécile Hortensia and Celine Dion. While these two dynamic singers have distinctly different musical styles, I can't help but see the similarities between the two. There is a vibrance and life-force in both artists that propel their music, not to mention the obvious French similarities. Where Celine Dion has an unbridled vocal power (which has defined pop music for two decades), Cécile sings with a delicate vocal control. She has created a fusion of French, folk, and alternative pop musical stylings that intrigued me from the start. She is a fantastic artist whose unique journey, shared through music, gave me unparalleled access into the kind of cross-cultural voyage Cécile has traveled. Her album is out this week – make sure to check it out!
You can also catch Cécile Hortensia live in Los Angeles on October 23, 2012 at Genghis Cohen! If you want to listen to Papillons, you can check it out here: http://electriclotuslabel.com/com/cecilehortensia_epk/.

Baby, it's cold outside!
We just heard from Amanda, an amazing supporter in Naperville, Illinois, who held a bake sale on Sunday, December 21st outside the entrance to her local Trader Joe's grocery store. At Cookies, we've been so excited about her bake sale. Amanda had registered her sale on the website, used many of our online bake sale tools and generally knocked our socks off with planning expertise – donations were flooding in, her location was great and with hot cocoa and cider to offer, she was ready to keep her customers warm on the first official day of Winter.
Then, a crazy thing happened on the bake sale day. It was cold – really cold. Amanda's bake sale was held on the coldest day in Chicago since 1996! When she went to set up, the temperature was -2 degrees with a windchilld of -20. And she still set up and sold cookies – for an entire hour! Amazing. What's even more amazing is the $300 she raised in just one hour. Without a doubt, her willingness to stand in the cold paid off for all of us looking to raise money for a cure for pediatric cancers.
With many leftovers, Amanda took the remainder of her goodies to the downtown Chicago Ronald McDonald House later in the week to offer a nice holiday surprise to the families staying in the home away from home. The Ronald McDonald House was extra special to Cookies for Kids' Cancer in December. Just two weeks earlier, Cookies co-founders Gretchen and Larry coordinated a volunteer effort to bake, package and ship 13,000 gourmet cookies to Ronald McDonald Houses across the country. The Witts know the challenges and loneliness of having a sick child and wanted to make sure families staying away from home with sick children during the holidays knew they were thinking about them and wishing them well.
Amanda, thank you for your dedicated effort to Cookies for Kids' Cancer. Your bake sale represents the spirit of our goal to change the scary facts about pediatric cancer forever. Happy New Year and STAY WARM!

Spiced Hot Grape Punch - Grow Your Own #11
This is my entry for Grow Your Own event and you can participate too! This event is about homegrown products, so if you have a garden why not celebrate the bounty of the season with a unique dish prepared with foods that you grow?
My spiced hot grape punch is made with fresh ginger from my mom and dad's garden.
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons honey
Rind of 2 oranges
Rind of 1 lime
2 oz (50 to 60 g) sliced fresh ginger
4 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
2 apples, cored, peeled and chopped
4 cups (1 liter) unsweetened red grape juice
1) In a large sauce pan over medium combine sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil to dissolve sugar.
2) Add honey, sliced ginger, cinnamon stick, cloves, lime and orange rinds. Simmer 4 minutes. Remove rinds.
3) Add 1 cup water and simmer 5 minutes. Then add the chopped apples, the grape juice and bring to a boil again for 10 minutes. Serve hot.

Hi Cris, thanks for the comment on the Teasle Gourd recipe. Regarding the bread on the banana leaf in the image on top of my blog, it is a type of Indian flatbread, wafer, or cracker. It is called Papadum, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papadum. OR http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Transwiki:Cookbook:Papadum
The one you see in the picture is made from lentil, and the recipe can be viewed here: http://www.experiencefestival.com/a/Papadum/id/540219,
On all festivals, a feast is prepared and papadum is a main item on the menu. All the dishes are served on a plantain leaf, and the feast is eaten by sitting cross legged on the floor.
I hope the info is useful.

Just a few things that might correlate to that is that ANn (if we're assuming ANn is an angel or angel-like) appeared in Blade's memory, the angel that Mio saw was during PF Blast (Blade was around) and that when Cruz was having that dream-like conversation with Blade at the end of Chapter 50, he commented on how Arclight was looking beyond Blade...
If we know that Arclight has been more interested in the angels this whole time, then I wonder if Arclight knew of the other angel being in Blade and thus, was looking beyond Blade to the angel that he wanted to absorb.

To me this is a matter with so many unknowns right now. But if I am to give a personal oppinion I would dare say the angel entered Cruz the instant Eve used Doppelganger on him. Let's just not forget the gentle glowing hand appeared afterwards, but it wasn't just the hand, there's also Arca's sudden freezing and the black hole in Blade's memories.
Saten must know something about this we and no one, not even Arclight, knows.

Also, just in case we get some Seto/Solva action in the next chapter, does anyone else think they're kinda screwed with who they're going up against?
Thinking about Ishiyama, sure, he doesn't have any offensive Fragments due to Blackout Invoke, but he has superior speed and strength and we've seen him defy gravity by standing on the ceiling and walking down walls. I'm not sure how Seto will do against him seeing as he seems immune to her Fragment. Not sure how he'll fare against Solva's Magnetic World though and I suppose Seto can manipulate the gravity of other objects to attack him with, but he seems to have the upper-hand already. That and he has another fighter who appears to be quite powerful, too, but it relatively unknown. Not sure how he was able to defend against Seto's Grativation but he and Ishiyama seemed unaffected by it.
Guess we'll find out for sure whenever they return again... which hopefully is in less than 2 weeks.

With Ishiyama and the shadow figure, Set and Solva not only have them to worry about, but also Uten and Kafka. With Ishiyama able to control gravity solely around his person, I think he makes a perfect opponent for Set. She as a gravity user can determine Ishiyama's abilities and counter against them. Also, Set and Solva have better cooperation than these four, making that an asset. However, the wild card is the shadow figure. Most likely, he is number nine of Arclight's obtained stigmatas. Plus, the nature of his abilities are unknown. With him around, chances of Set and Solva winning are slim. Their only hope is if help comes from the most unlikely of places.

^At this point the only way Seth & Solva could have a chance to get out from there was if Kafka, or rather, the real Kafka, because I'm still rather exceptical about whether the one in front of us is the same who met Cruz in Blade's memories, broke out.
Aside of that, there's some passages in the underground room that seem to connect with the Black Spot, so given Arclight is now pretty much invincible, I suspect that's their only means to escape.
I'm also wondering how is Teruyama gonna survive, since it seems he'll stay behind according with Needless 1.5

By the way Cruz looks girly since he had been healed by Eve, It look like artist planned to transform Cruz to female, or may be the artist prefer trap character.

Maybe Cruz was already female, just that Menogroze modified his body to be similar to a males. That could be why we haven't gotten a good look at his "manhood" with all the panty shots.

Nah, I think Imai Kami just likes traps.
I recall seeing a trap when I was looking over some pages of Katatsumuri-chan which is another manga of his.
Also, as for seeing his manhood... you can actually kinda make it out in a few pictures I've noticed

OSTERSUND, Sweden, Feb. 18 (UPI) -- Residents of Ostersund, Sweden, were told their tap water is drinkable after three months of boiling water supplies after a parasite outbreak, officials said.
"We now have clean drinking water again," a statement on the northern city's Web page said Friday.
The municipality said the problem with the parasite, which left more than 10,000 residents nursing stomach ailments, has been resolved, The Local reported.
"The flushing of the water pipes is completed and Ostersund's mains water is drinkable again," the statement said.
The problems began in November 2010 when more than 2,000 people reported suffering from stomach bugs after drinking tap water, and the city confirmed the intestinal parasite Cryptosporidium had been found in the city's drinking water.
By the time the source of the intestinal parasite was located, more than 11,000 people in the city of just over 43,000 people had reported symptoms.
The city warned some taps that have not been used on a regular basis might need to be run for a while before the water is safe but said the majority of the city's houses and apartments have a clean supply, The Local reported.

- "The "Dancing Feet" spell has its origins in ancient Italy, but is best remembered for its improper usage by Warlock Zaccaria Innocenti who is credited with conjuring a 'dance' within Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD."
- —Description[3]
The Dancing Feet Spell (Tarantallegra) is a charm[4] used to force another person's legs to begin dancing uncontrollably. The spell requires a clear, unobstructed view of the target to be successfully cast.[3]
This spell has its origins in Italy but is best remembered for its improper usage by warlock Zaccaria Innocenti who is credited with conjuring a 'dance' within Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.[3] It is mainly used to make a victim do something hilarious, but it can be also be used in duelling.
Known uses
|First years
|June 1992
It is possible this is the spell used to make a pineapple dance across the classroom in the first year Charms exam.
|Draco Malfoy
|17 December, 1992
|Cast this spell on Harry Potter in 1992 at the first meeting of the Duelling Club.
|Antonin Dolohov
|18 June, 1996
|Used it against Neville Longbottom during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries making Neville smash the prophecy of Harry and the Dark Lord.
|Harry Potter
|September, 2020
|Harry uses this spell while duelling Draco Malfoy in his home.
|Albus Dumbledore
|Albus Dumbledore uses this spell in Hogwarts to make the armour dance.
The Tarantella is a dance originating in Italy. It was believed to cure the effects of the bite of a Tarantula by causing the victim to sweat out the toxin. It wasn't until centuries later that scientists determined the Black Widow was actually the venomous spider in question; people merely blamed the Tarantula because of its size.[5] Allegra may be derived from allegro, a musical tempo meaning "quick and lively"; or simply from the word "leg" as this is the only body part affected by the jinx.
Behind the scenes
- It can be bought at Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment in Diagon Alley in LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4.
- It should be noted that although this spell requires the target to have legs (animate or inanimate) it can also provoke a reaction out of legless targets (for example, it is known to have caused Mt. Vesuvius to erupt).

Seven Deaths Confirmed in Arkansas
Authorities have now confirmed seven deaths in Arkansas after a severe storm
Category: Religious News
Boston Marathon - Saudi Arabia
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — The king of Saudi Arabia is condemning the Boston Marathon bombings, saying no religion or morals would condone such an attack.
In a condolences message to President Barack Obama and the American people, King Abdullah said the perpetrators of such "heinous terrorist acts" are "enemies of any humane considerations." He said the perpetrators represent only themselves.
In a separate statement, the Saudi Embassy said a Saudi woman was among those injured, suffering minor injuries from glass fragments.
The Saudi government has been cracking down on Islamic militants since al-Qaida launched a wave of attacks in the country in 2003, killing dozens. It has sought to distance itself from terrorist acts in the past, including the Sept. 11 attacks, where 15 of the 19 hijackers involved were Saudi citizens.

It was the second win in a row for the Bisons who were out-hit 10-9 at Watson Stadium in Conway, S.C.
"We talked before the game that everybody in college baseball is good," Lipscomb coach Jeff Forehand said. "I asked how many of our players had heard of Canisius before we played them. Several of our players had not heard of them, but they came in and beat us.
"You have to prepare to play every team. Everyone has heard about Illinois. Getting a win against a big name team does help our confidence. Hopefully, we can build on it."
Senior right-hander Josh Smith, 2-1, pitched 8.1 innings for the Bisons to pick up the win, his second in three decisions this season. Smith gave up nine hits and six runs, five of them earned. He walked three and struck out three.
"Josh gave up two runs early and his pitch count was down," Forehand said. "He really didn't have a finishing strikeout pitch, but he did a masterful job. They were hitting balls to us.
"I don't think he got tired. I only took him out because I wanted to stop Illinois' momentum in the ninth."
Junior right-hander Chad Fromm closed out the game pitching the final two-thirds. He allowed one hit. He earned his second save of the season.
"We are going to go to him at the end of games," Forehand said. "He has one win and two saves. We will keep going to him when the time calls for it."
Illinois led for most of the game scoring two runs in the third and one run in the sixth. Forced to play catch-up after the Bisons scored five in the eighth, Illinois added one run in the eighth and two in the ninth.
"Their pitcher (Will Strack) kept us off balance for the majority of the game," Forehand said. "Josh was pitching great too. They changed pitchers and we are able to put some runs across in the eighth.
"Ricky Coleman came in and hit a single up the middle to score two runs. We also scored on two passed balls and two throwing errors mixed in. That was a big hit by Ricky and then they made some mistakes to let us in the door."
Tyler Wilson and Zach Messer each had two hits for the Bisons. Cory Hale's double in the ninth inning was the only extra base hit for the Bisons. He drove in two runs. Hale also stole home for the third run.
Hale and Tyler Wilson each had two stolen bases.
The Bisons, 5-8, will play Michigan Saturday at 11 followed by Ball State at 4. Michigan beat Ball State 12-8 Friday. Michigan is 5-7. Ball State falls to 4-10.
Michigan plans to use either right-hander Tyler Burgoon (2-1, 7.71 earned run average) or Bobby Brosnahan (0-1, 6.23). The Bisons will go with either junior left-hander Alex Ross (1-0, 3.38 ERA) or sophomore right-hander Dannie Strable (0-0, 3.98). Sophomore right-hander Davey Hackett (1-1, 5.29) will get the start against Ball State.
"It is hard to get a lot of information on a team when you only play them one time," Forehand said. "It is going to be a long day of baseball. We are here to play strong teams that will get us ready for next weekend and the start of conference play."
Written by Mark McGee, Senior Publisher/Director of Media Relations.

Ask the Expert: Omega-3 Fatty AcidSubmitted by avgd123 on Sun, 2014-03-09 21:50
Omega-3 fatty acids (also known as n-3 fatty acids) are polyunsaturated fatty acids that are essential nutrients for health. We need omega-3 fatty acids for numerous normal body functions, such as controlling blood clotting and building cell membranes in the brain, and since our bodies cannot make omega-3 fats, we must get them through food. Omega-3 fatty acids are also associated with many health benefits, including protection against heart disease and possibly stroke. New studies are identifying potential benefits for a wide range of conditions including cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, and other autoimmune diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
