A featherweight bout between Bryan Caraway (14-4 MMA, 0-1 WEC) and Fredson Paixao (9-3 MMA, 1-1 WEC) – initially slated for WEC 47 in March but scratched when Caraway suffered a knee injury – is expected to be part of August's WEC 50 event.
A source close to the event told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that verbal agreements are in place and that fight contracts should be finalized shortly.
The fight, which was first reported by MMAWeekly.com, takes place Aug. 18 and is expected to be part of the night's un-aired preliminary card.
WEC 50 takes place at The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, and the main card airs on Versus.
Caraway, a former EliteXC and Strikeforce fighter, signed with the WEC in late 2009 after winning 10 of his previous 11 fights. The lone loss came via decision to Wilson Reis, who became EliteXC's first-ever bantamweight champion in his very next bout.
However, Caraway, who's earned 10 submissions in his 14 career wins, faltered in his WEC debut and suffered a first-round submission loss via armbr to Canadian veteran Mark Hominick.
Healed from his knee injury, he now meets Paixao, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black who scored a submission win over replacement fighter Courtney Buck at WEC 47. It also evened his WEC record to 1-1 following a decision loss to Wagnney Fabiano at WEC 40 and a no-contest with Cole Province at WEC 42. (Province won via split decision, but the loss was overturned when Province tested positive for a banned substance.)
For the latest on WEC 50, stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of MMAjunkie.com.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Bulldogs play their first game in a month in the friendly confines of the John J. Lee Amphitheater on Thursday night. New Haven city foe Albertus Magnus visits for a 7 p.m. tipoff. The Falcons feature 12 Connecticut natives on their roster. Yale's one Connecticut resident, Greg Mangano, made his first career start in Tuesday's game with Lehigh and responded in a big way. He scored 16 points and grabbed 14 rebounds to post his first career double-double. In addition, he blocked three shots and now has nine blocks in the last two games. Yale played Tuesday's game without leading scorer Alex Zampier, who sprained his ankle in practice. Junior Michael Sands and freshman Austin Morgan helped fill the scoring void created by Zampier's absence. Sands had 15 points, which matched his career high, while Morgan, who was making his first career start, scored 14 points, the most of his young career. The Bulldogs will be playing their third game in the last five days. They host NJIT on Saturday at 2 p.m. before opening Ivy play next Friday against Brown.
Yale and Albertus Magnus are playing for the first time.
Albertus, which plays at Trinity on Wednesday, won six of its first seven games. The Falcons were off from Dec. 12 until the game with Trinity. Albertus, which averages nearly 84 points per game, has three double figure scorers, led by Walden St. Juste (21.1 ppg.). Ray Askew (19.3 ppg.) and Byron Reaves (11.1 ppg.) are the others. Askew leads the team in rebounding (11.1 rpg.). Twelve of the 14 players on the roster are Connecticut natives. Mitch Oliver is in his third year as the head coach of the Falcons. He has been an assistant coach at both Quinnipiac and Sacred Heart.
BULLDOGS PICKED 5TH IN PRESEASON IVY POLLThe Bulldogs were picked to finish fifth in the Ivy League preseason media poll, released on Oct. 28 during a media teleconference. Yale has finished higher than projected in three of the last four years. Two-time defending champion Cornell is the overwhelming favorite. The Big Red received all 16 first-place votes. Princeton is second followed by Penn and Harvard. Columbia (sixth), Brown and Dartmouth round out the poll. The Bulldogs, who finished in a tie for second place with Princeton last year, lose four starters but return Alex Zampier, an honorable mention All-Ivy selection. Zampier led the Ivy League in free throw percentage (.848) and was eighth in scoring (13.2 ppg.) and second in steals (1.6 per game). In addition, Yale welcomes back four other players who averaged at least 10 minutes per game.
2009-10 Ivy League Men's Basketball Preseason Media Poll

2. Princeton - 96
3. Penn - 92

The state of Connecticut has a rich basketball tradition. A new chapter in that history starts this season with the formation of the Connecticut 6, a partnership between six of Connecticut's Division I schools - Yale, Central Connecticut, Fairfield, Hartford, Quinnipiac and Sacred Heart. The inaugural Connecticut 6 Classic tripleheader was Nov. 13 at the Arena at Harbor Yard. The Classic moves to the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville in 2010. In addition to the tripleheader, a preseason All-Connecticut 6 team was selected and there will be a Connecticut 6 Player of the Week chosen each week during the season.
Jamie Snyder-Fair, who helped Washington & Lee make its first appearance in the ODAC championship game in 20 years last year, has joined James Jones' staff. In his one season at W&L, the Generals won 16 games, their most since 1988-89. Prior to Washington & Lee, Snyder-Fair was an assistant coach at Vassar where he helped the Brewers to 18 wins, which tied the school record. He also spent two years as an assistant at Amherst.
James Jones has made quite an impact on the Yale basketball program. In 10 seasons, Jones has guided Yale to success not seen in New Haven in 40 years. In 2001-02, Jones led the Bulldogs to their first Ivy League title since 1962-63 and the first postseason tournament victory in the 107-year history of Yale basketball. The team won 21 games, the second most in the modern era of Yale basketball, and reached the second round of the National Invitation Tournament. Jones, the longest tenured coach in the Ivy League, earned his 100th victory at Yale when the Bulldogs beat Columbia on Feb. 9, 2007. He is only the fourth coach in school history with at least 100 wins. His overall record at Yale is 130-149, including a 77-63 (.550) mark in Ivy games. The Bulldogs have won at least 10 Ivy games twice during his tenure and have had a .500 or better record in league play in each of the last nine years. Three assistant coaches who worked under Jones have gone on to become head coaches - Isaiah Cavaco (Oberlin), Mark Sembrowich (Academy of Arts University) and Mark Gilbride (Clarkson).Jones served as an assistant coach to Villanova's Jay Wright for the 2007 USA Basketball Men's Pan American Games Team.
Six Yale graduates, all coached by James Jones, are currently playing professional basketball. Edwin Draughan '05 (FOS Ouest, France), Dominick Martin '06 (Illescas CLM, Spain), Matt Kyle '08 (Tunisia), Eric Flato '08 (Plymouth Raiders, England) and Ross Morin '09 (SAM Massagno, Switzerland) are playing overseas, while Travis Pinick '09 was was selected in the eighth round of the 2009 NBA D-League Draft by the Los Angeles D-Fenders.
• The 2009-10 schedule features 31 regular season games, including 12 in the friendly confines of the John J. Lee Amphitheater. It will mark the most games Yale has played in a season since 2001-02 when the Bulldogs finished 21-11.
• The Bulldogs made their second appearance in the Preseason NIT. Yale fell to No. 1 ranked UConn in the tournament to open the 2003-04 season. The Bulldogs played four games in this year's tournament.
• The game with Quinnipiac on Nov. 21 capped a busy day on the Yale campus. The 126th edition of the Yale-Harvard football game was played at noon at Yale Bowl. Yale and Quinnipiac had met only once before, an 87-69 Bobcat win in 1999 in the Phoenix Classic at the Hartford Civic Center.
• Senior Alex Zampier had a homecoming when the Bulldogs visited Albany on Jan. 3. Zampier, an East Greenbush, N.Y., native, graduated as the second all-time leading scorer at Columbia High School with 1,381 points. Yale head coach James Jones is a 1996 Albany graduate. He played for and coached with the legendary Dr. Richard Sauers, one of only seven coaches to win more than 700 games.
• The Bulldogs open the 14-game Ivy League schedule at home against Brown on Jan. 15. Three of Yale's first four Ivy games will be at Lee Amphitheater.

Jewish soprano still singing in Vienna at the age of 95
Early in her career, Nazi sympathizers tried, and failed to derail Hilde Zadek's budding career
VIENNA (AP) — It was 1947 in post-war Vienna, and Hilde Zadek remembers taking a deep breath behind the curtain. A rookie on her first opera gig, she was about to sing the prestigious role of Aida for an audience full of particularly harsh critics — whistle-packing Nazis she says were determined to show "that Jew from Palestine" she was not welcome at one of the world's greatest opera houses.
But their whistles stayed silent, as Zadek celebrated her first on-stage triumph.
"At the end even they applauded and were my fans," recalls the 95-year diva with a chuckle, as she recounts a life of improbable turns from the time she fled Nazi Germany to that first performance in Vienna that launched the former shoe sales clerk's stellar opera career.

Sixty-five years later, Vienna has morphed from what she calls a post-war "nest of Nazis" replete with die-hard Hitler supporters into a city that has worked to reckon with its past. Austria's capital has compensated thousands of relatives of Holocaust victims and frequently honors their memory. After decades or denial, Vienna's municipal government now freely recognizes that the city — and the nation — were Hitler's eager accomplices.
As for Zadek, the city she once despised as part of Hitler's evil empire has long become a home she says she would never leave
As for Zadek, the city she once despised as part of Hitler's evil empire has long become a home she says she would never leave — and one that is proud to call her its own. She has been showered with medals, granted high honorary titles and a singer's competition named after her 13 years ago has turned into an international launching pad for future opera stars.
"I live the life," she exults, eyes twinkling behind rimless glasses as she serves coffee in her high-ceilinged apartment at Vienna's tony 19th district. "I don't feel a trace of anti-Semitism. And I have long forgiven — Vienna was a wonderful audience from the first moment on."
With even Viennese Nazi sympathizers charmed by that first performance, Zadek was unstoppable. By the time she stopped singing and turned to teaching in 1971, the spunky soprano was one of the world's leading divas, with 60 roles under her belt and thousands of appearances at the world's greatest opera houses. She still teaches today, equating voice coaching with a personal mission to pass on what she knows to a new generation.
"If I had to give an accounting of myself up above and were asked 'what have you achieved,' then I would say, 'I have trained good voice teachers,'" she says.
The way to Vienna and operatic stardom was perilous.
It began in 1934, in Poznan. Now Polish, the city was then part of Germany, and like other German communities it was gripped by growing anti-Semitism that made life more and more intolerable for Jews.
"I was told often enough what a Jew is, including that they had deformed brains," she said. Kids were taken on school outings to see the Fuehrer and on one such occasion "I had the 'privilege' of seeing Herr Hitler, the 'joy' of breathing in his aura — an ugly little gnome who did nothing else but scream with a face contorted by hate!"
One day, it all came to a head: "I knocked out a few front teeth of a school-mate after she said 'it stinks like Jews here,'" she said. "From that second on I had to leave Germany or I would have been jailed."
"I knocked out a few front teeth of a school-mate after she said 'it stinks like Jews here,'" she said. "From that second on I had to leave Germany or I would have been jailed."
Zadek initially fled to Berlin; then a year later, at age 17, to what was then Palestine. She worked first in an orphanage, living in a small room with 16 of her charges before training as a pediatric nurse at a hospital. Life was hard, but safe — unlike at home, where the Nazi vise was tightening around the Jews who remained.
Her father's four-story shoe emporium was destroyed in 1938 as Nazis rampaged, thrashing and torching Jewish businesses in what became known as "Kristallnacht" — the "Night of Broken Glass." He was sent to a concentration camp shortly afterward.
Jews could still leave if they had elsewhere to go, and Zadek got her family visas for Palestine after her father was released. He opened a small shoe store and she left the hospital to work for him. At night she studied voice — she had wanted to sing opera from childhood, but she said "nothing sang in me" from the time she fled Germany until that joyful family reunion.
"Then everything in me started singing again."
Her teachers were Austria's and Germany's best — renowned Jewish voice coaches who fled to Palestine. At the same time, there were few prospects. There was no opera house — and Zadek says that in British-ruled Palestine, singing in German, the language of much of the world's greatest operas, was prohibited.
Once the war was over, the young singer was accepted at the Zurich Conservatory. She paid her way to Europe on a British troop ship by singing to the soldiers. In Switzerland, she worked as an au pair, studied voice — and through a chance acquaintanceship suddenly found herself singing for Vienna State Opera Director Franz Salmhofer, who invited her to come to a city still closely identified with the Nazis, even if the party had been banned after the war.
"I would have returned to Berlin as well, because I had only one goal; to become an opera singer," she said. "At the same time, I went through unbelievable emotional turmoil, not only because of my own doubts but because of what my family and friends in Palestine said. I was bad-mouthed from top to bottom for entering this 'nest of Nazis.'"
Looking back, she sees that her return was more than just about singing opera.
"I had to show that Jews don't stink, that they don't have hunched backs, long noses or anything else"
"I had to show that Jews don't stink, that they don't have hunched backs, long noses or anything else" branding them as subhuman under the Nazis, she said. "These young people aged 17, 18, who grew up under Hitler, had never seen a Jew in their lives! And then suddenly this young and good-looking woman comes onto the stage and then proceeds to sing beautifully and they ask 'this is a Jew?'"
"Forget the old Nazis," she said. "But I hope I was able at least to change the image … for the youth."
The next day, she signed a contract with the Vienna opera that ended only when she stopped singing more than 20 years later. Top engagements followed at the Met in New York, London's Covent Garden and opera houses and festivals in Rome, Paris, Munich, Salzburg, Edinburgh and elsewhere, keeping her performing 12 months of the year — and establishing her as one of her era's top divas.
As she progressed, so did Austria — from being home to the "nest of Nazis" ready to destroy her career for being Jewish, to a country that is proud to call her its own.
"Today? I am never attacked," she says, with a laugh. "I am overwhelmed with honors."

Heinz Field - 4:15 PM EST
Here we are at week 10 and the Steelers have 3 times as many losses as they do wins... who would have ever thunk up such a scenario? Mathematically the Steelers still have an outside shot at making the playoffs but if they are going to start their quest at history again then it's going to have to be this week!
The Saints have been running on emotion all year and have looked really good, how long can they keep this up though or are they in fact really this good? The Saints are 3rd in the league for passing which is the Steelers weak spot on defense so it should be interesting to see how the Steelers respond. On the flip side though the Steelers, when its used, have one of the best rushing teams in the league but for some reason they have went with the pass this year hoping to setup the run... These 2 areas will probably be the key to the game and whoever can their "specialty" going first will more than likely come out on top. Other keys to the game:
- Hang on to the damn ball!
- Get the running game going because the Saints can't stop it
- Everyone needs to step up on both sides of the ball
Again the Steelers have no notable injuries this week, but based on the results from last week it doesn't really matter The Saints will more than likely be without their All Pro wide receiver Joe Horn.
Join us this Sunday here in the gameday thread as we talk about the game and cheer our Steelers to a victory!!!!

The prior notes have dealt with beginning a probate estate and ongoing administration of a probate setae. This note will deal with the various options available for continuing and closing such an estate.
Notice of Continued Administration
Pursuant to MCL 700.3951 if the personal representative is unable to complete the administration of the estate within one year of the personal representative's original appointment, the personal representative must file with the court and all interested persons a notice that the estate remains under administration, specifying the reason for the continuation of administration. This may be accomplished by using Notice of Continued Administration (PC 587). The personal representative must give this notice within 28 days of the first anniversary of his or her appointment and all subsequent anniversaries during which the administration remains uncompleted.
If the notice of continued administration is not filed, an interested person may petition the court for a hearing on the necessity for continued administration or petition for a settlement order under either MCL 700.3952 or MCL 700.3953 (discussed in a subsequent note). If a petition is filed the court hears such petition and grants appropriate relief to ensure prompt estate settlement. If the notice of continued administration is not filed the court will notify the personal representative and all interested persons that the court will close the estate administration and terminate the personal representative's authority within 63 days unless within that time period any of the following occur:
1. The personal representative files the notice of continued administration, a petition for settlement under MCL 700.3952 or MCL 700.3953, or a sworn statement under MCL 700.3954 (discussed later in this note).
2. An interested person files a petition requesting a hearing on the necessity for continued administration or a petition for settlement under either MCL 700.3952 or MCL 700.3953.
The notice by the court to interested persons that the personal representative has failed to file a notice with the court will be accomplished by the court sending the interested persons Notice of Intent to Close Estate Administration and Terminate Personal Representative's Authority (PC 589). It should be noted that the court is limited to either responding to the petition of an interested person or to closing its file and terminating the authority of the personal representative. If the required action is not taken by the personal representative or an interested person, the court will close its file and terminate the authority of the personal representative. This will be accomplished by the court signing a Memorandum of Administrative Closing (PC 599).
Summary administration procedure for small estates
Pursuant to MCL 700.3987 if it appears from the inventory and appraisal that the value of the entire estate, less liens and encumbrances, does not exceed homestead allowance, family allowance, exempt property, administration costs and expenses, reasonable funeral expenses, and reasonable, necessary medical and hospital expenses of the decedent's last illness, the personal representative, without giving notice to creditors, may immediately disburse and distribute the estate to the persons entitled to the estate and may file a closing statement as provided by MCL 700.3988. The form which would be filed in this case would be Sworn Closing Statement, Summary Proceeding Small Estates (PC 590). This closing statement must be sent to all estate distributees and to all creditors or other claimants of whom the personal representative is aware whose claims are neither paid nor barred. A full written accounting of the estate administration must be furnished to each estate distributee whose interests are affected. If no objection to the sworn statement is filed within 28 days after the filing date, the register shall issue a certificate of completion. This would be accomplished by using Certificate of Completion / / Supplemental (PC 592). If an action or proceeding involving the personal representative is not pending in the court 1 year after the closing statement is filed, the personal representative's appointment terminates. This procedure is not available to an estate that is in supervised administration.
This summary procedure should always be considered and used when possible. The allowances, cost of administration, funeral bill and costs of last illness would probably now add up to over $50,000 for many estates. Also, dependent children who are not minors may be entitled to homestead and family allowances, and adult children may claim the exempt property allowances. The statements on Form PC 590 should be read carefully. If all of those statements are true, this summary procedure can be used to close estate administration.
Closing estate by sworn statement of the personal representative
Pursuant to MCL 700.3954 unless prohibited by court order and except for an estate being administered in supervised administration, a personal representative may close an estate by filing with the court, no earlier than 5 months after the date of a general personal representative's original appointment, a sworn statement stating that the personal representative has done all of the following:
1. Determined that notice was published and the time limited for presentation of creditors claims has expired.
2. Fully administered the decedent's estate by making payments, settlement, or other disposition of all claims that were presented, of administration and estate expenses, and of estate, inheritance, and other death taxes, except as specified in the statement, including distribution of the estate property to the persons entitled. If a claim remains undischarged, the statement shall state whether the personal representative distributed the estate subject to possible liability with the distributee's agreement or shall detail other arrangements that have been made to accommodate outstanding liabilities.
3. Sent a copy of the statement to all estate distributees and to all creditors or other claimants of whom the personal representative is aware whose claims are neither paid nor barred.
4. Furnished a full accounting in writing of the personal representative's administration to the distributees whose interests are affected by the administration. The account shall clearly state the amount paid out of the estate in fiduciary fees, attorney fees and other professional fees.
The form which would be filed would be Sworn Statement to Close Unsupervised Administration / / Supplemental (PC 591). Pursuant to MCL 700.3958 if an objection to the closing statement is not filed within 28 days after the filing date, the personal representative, the personal representative's sureties, or a successor of either is entitled to receive a certificate from the register that the personal representative appears to have fully administered the estate in question. Since the statute does not require the register to issue the certificate it may be necessary to request it. The Certificate of Completion / / Supplemental (PC 592) will be used to meet this requirement. If a proceeding involving the personal representative is not pending in the court 1 year after the closing statement is filed, the personal representative's appointment terminates. The certificate does not preclude action against the personal representative or the surety.
It should be noted that this procedure is not available for an estate in supervised administration. It also should be noted that the personal representative is required to give the distributees a full accounting of estate administration. Since such an accounting need not be filed with the court, no particular accounting form is required. However, a personal representative can use Account of Fiduciary, Short Form (PC 583) or Account of Fiduciary, Long Form (PC 584) to accomplish this.
Limitation of Actions
Pursuant to MCL 700.3956 unless previously barred by adjudication and except as provided in the closing statement, the right of a successor or creditor whose claim is not otherwise barred against the personal representative for breach of fiduciary duty is barred unless a proceeding to assert the claim is commenced within 6 months after the filing of the closing statement. The right barred under this section does not include the right to recover from a personal representative for fraud, misrepresentation, or inadequate disclosure related to the settlement of the decedent's estate.
Pursuant to MCL 700.3957 unless previously adjudicated in a formal testacy proceeding or in a proceeding settling a personal representative's accounts, or otherwise barred, a claimant's claim to recover property improperly distributed or its value from a distributee are forever barred at the later of 3 years after the decedent's death or 1 year after the time of the property's distribution. However, all claims of the decedent's creditors are barred in accordance with the time periods specified in MCL 700.3803 (claims provisions discussed in a prior note). This section does not bar a action to recover property or value received as a result of fraud.

Should Everyone Who Uses A Phone Or A Computer As Part Of A Crime Get A Longer Sentence?
from the so-says-the-8th-circuit dept
Now, as the article notes, if there's anyone out there who deserves a longer prison sentence, it's a sex offender who victimizes minors. But that doesn't mean we should condone stretching a computer hacking law in a ridiculous manner. In this case, because the CFAA allows increased sentencing for someone who used a computer in the commission of the crime, the judge decided that a rather standard mobile phone counts as a "computer" under the law. Even though it was a standard mobile phone, and not a smartphone or feature phone, the judge quoted Steve Wozniak in pointing out that "Everything has a computer in it nowadays."
Of course, that should be a reason why we should worry about this kind of sentencing. The idea that anyone deserves more time in prison solely because they used a mobile phone doesn't make much sense. It continues to make a mockery of the law. If the guy deserves to be in prison longer for the actual despicable crime he committed, then the law should allow such longer sentences. But the courts shouldn't twist the CFAA to accomplish that goal.

There's the classic, suiting pieces we've come to expect from Theory, and then there's the Theyskens designs that the brand's been creating for the past several years. But, with the debut of Theory's fall '14 collection on Monday — the first collection Olivier Theyskens did not design under his own name — things got all sorts of spun around. In a good way.
While the label has already established itself as one that masters chic, not stuffy, tailoring, Theyskens brought a different creative vision to the designs. He took all the original ideas of what suiting should be and turned it on its head. Collars were sharp atop button-down closures, but instead of oxford shirts they were part of midi-length, sheer-paneled frocks. And, while black blazers still prove to be the easiest shortcut to a polished ensemble, Theyskens imagined fall's version could ruffle on the bias, create a peplum with a belt, and take on leathery textures. Plus, we'll be daydreaming of one embellished blazer until autumn rolls around.

Also, Prince of Tennis news of the day:
* Shishido Ryo (from Hyotei) is getting his own full album in 2006. I think it'll be released around February, since there will be events related to the album in Japan around that time...
* Also in February 2006, they will re-release the previous two years' versions of the song "Valentine Kiss". For those that don't know, every year on Valentines Day, they release different versions of this Valentine song. The first version of this song was sung by Atobe (with Kabaji background vocals), and last year's version was sung by Oshitari (With Shishido+Ohtori background vocals). Hopefully they'll also release a new version of the song this year... it's tradition!!
* Konomi Takeshi (the author/mangaka of Prince of Tennis) will be appearing in the live action Prince of Tennis movie. He also sings a duet with Ryoma called "Go" in Ryoma's album, which was released yesterday (he's a surprisingly good singer! o_o talented guy)
* Yukimura announced as a secret character in the new Prince of Tennis game (the one I linked in my last news post)
There's always so much news for this series, so if people want, I'll try to keep this thread up to date with everything new... ^_^

(and please note that if you try to run a Japanese game on an American Playstation/Playstation 2, the game WILL NOT WORK because of region coding!! You either have to own a Japanese console or have your Playstation/Playstation 2 modified to play foreign games)
Speaking of the Prince of Tennis manga, I hear that it's going to go on a break for awhile because the mangaka Konomi-sensei was injured.
And though it would be awesome if they'd continue the TV series past 178 (because the filler episodes were my favorite parts), I doubt they'll do that. I think they're just going to stick to animating major events. They're releasing the nationals (current manga arc) as multiple OVAs instead of continuing the TV series, unfortunately...

anyone here play tennis after watching this show? I watched the series after a tennis buddy told me about it, and then passed it on to my roomate who is now learning tennis because of it. It's a shame that he thinks he could do a boomerang snake though.

The next (third, if you count the Atobe movie as a movie instead of an extra) movie comes out in 2006 and will be live action. So far the live movie looks good, except for the guys they picked to play Hyotei -_- They don't look like Hyotei at all. And they added an original Hyotei member to the movie.... he has a lot of facial hair and reminds me of some kind of tennis pirate...

hey, the konami site is sooooo complicated lol. could you just recommend me a couple of good Prince of Tennis games? ones where you play tennis are good, though i wouldnt mind the other types you listed (dating sims etc.)
though the only prob with the dating sims is that for me it would be rubbish lol as i dont know japanese/chinese lol. only thing id be able to translate is kawamura's BURNING And Echizens mada mada dane lol.

But my favorite part of the game is the "dream mode"!! Like the title implies, the game includes "dreams", which are.... really crazy. They give you weird scenes with characters doing really stupid stuff like flying or teleporting or forming a boy band or becoming the characters in Saiyuki or turning into Shinsengumi.
Here are a few random screencaps I took of the game a long time ago...
Spoiler for RUSH&DREAM game screencaps:
But if you want one where you can play tennis, I highly recommend Saikyou Team wo Kesseise yo! (PS2). In this game you get to play the coach. You pick five players and try to make a great team by selecting the training and doing other events to make sure your team's compatability and stats grow. You can also participate in tournaments where you get to play tennis matches (in awesome 3D!). You can also customize your team by teaching them special moves and other characters' moves! For example, if you want Sanada to learn "Kikumaru Beam", he can learn it and shout "Sanada beaaaaaaaam" when he does it (it's so funny!).
If you beat the game once (it's easy), you also unlock VS mode, where up to four people can play (fun party game!). You can either make two teams and have them go against eachother or play singles or doubles. The game is also completely voiced and has a lot of special moves to learn. There's also lots of stuff to unlock, such as a 100+ picture gallery, minigames (bowling!), and secret characters. You don't have to know any Japanese to enjoy the tennis matches.
The gameboy games are also good for simple tennis matches. Good for long traveling. ^^ But my favorite gameboy game is Minna no Oujisama because it's a bunch of fun/strange minigames. There's even a DDR minigame with Prince of Tennis songs as the music. ^^; (konami does make these games, after all...).
If you have more questions about the games, just ask. I just picked out my favorites. ^^ They're really addictive.... haha, I'm obsessed. I'm going to go broke on this hobby.... and the game that just came out looks so good too!!! I hear in this game you can put on a play (with full voice acting) by selecting the actors and script (similar to Suikoden 3's theater). So fun~~~

Anyways, I can do a regular snake no problem. I can even do one with my backhand which puts a nasty slice on it so the ball veers to the left (right handed, so my slice makes the ball bounce left).
Tennis is fun. I wish more people would get into it.
Also, did Kawamura play in the match in the Nationals? He never really gets to play, outside of doubles 1 and that Hyotei match where it was set up so Echizen could play.
Hopefully the Nationals will happen so Seigaku plays Fudomine in the finals, not Rikkaidai.

We're currently developing new sites for several clients who want their sites to look amazing on all devices.
And whilst it's true that our sites will display beautifully within the browsers of all desktops, laptops, tablets and mobiles, what our clients are really looking for is a design that doesn't just shrink to fit on a mobile screen - it reconfigures itself to a specifically mobile display. The layout changes to give mobile users a better experience.
And that means a Responsive or Adaptive design.
So what's the difference?
From a design and development perspective both approaches have the same aim. To create one site that is optimized for the type of device that is used to view it (desktop monitor, netbook, tablet or smartphone).
The difference is that a Responsive design responds to the browser size but serves out the same content and (broad) structure as the desktop version. It's the same content, reconfigured. Whereas an Adaptive design adapts the content to deliver the most valuable content to the device that's being used.
A simple exampe of Adaptive might be a donation button, which on the desktop leads to a "donate by credit card" form, but on a smartphone displays a "donate by SMS text message" option. It's not the same content as the desktop - it's adapted.
So which should you choose?
There are a number of things to consider, not least budget.
Adaptive design is more complex and therefore more expensive to design and develop. However the trade off is that it will have a greater reach, working well on older and/or less sophisticated devices. Typically we would expect larger organisations to choose Adaptive, as it would normally be used on sophisticated sites with ecommerce and security requirements where it has to work on any device, every time. That makes an essential business case for investing in Adaptive.
Responsive design is a little easier to plan and develop, and is in line with the vast majority of sites that are currently being produced where "any device, any time" is a consideration. It's easier, faster and therefore cheaper. It involves us creating a design that's largely independent of any device as it will simply adjust to fit the screen it's being viewed on. That could be a mobile, desktop, tablet, large screen TV and who knows what else in the future?
Is it something you should consider?
In short: yes. It's the future, and that's where you need to be. Personally I can't see a time when we'll develop a site and ignore the vast and growing mobile audience (I mean mobile as in not sat in front of a traditional desktop PC). You have to respond to the needs of your audience.
It's also particularly important to us as many of the audiences our clients serve use mobiles rather than desktops so to achieve the best return Responsive is the way forward, if you don't want to go down the route of creating a separate microsite aimed specifically at a mobile audience (the downside to that approach, even though it serves the purpose, is you need to maintain a separate dedicated site).
If you want to discuss how Responsive or Adaptive design can help you please contact us.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – MIT collected four Pilgrim Lacrosse League All-Conference selections, marking its highest total since the 2000 season. Christopher Rullan represented the Engineers on the First Team while Dan Piemont, Elliot Sykora, and Bryan Beller were Second-Team picks. In addition, the Cardinal and Gray placed nine athletes on the Academic All-Conference Team for the second year in a row.
Rullan led the league in save percentage (.620) and saves per game (14.08) while ranking second in goals against average (8.55). A defender, Sykora paced MIT with 13 caused turnovers, was third in groundballs (46), and won 56 percent of his face-offs. Beller, a recipient of his second straight Pilgrim All-Conference accolade, bolstered the defense with 29 groundballs and 10 caused turnovers while matching up with the opponent's top attacker. Piemont powered the offense with 35 goals, including nine man-up and three game-winning markers. He was the conference leader in man-up goals and was tied for first in game-winning goals, ranked second in goals per game, and was sixth in points per game.
Piemont, John Kucharczyk, Justin Myers, Nick Sisler, and Tomas Vianna received their third consecutive Academic All-Conference Team selections while Beller earned his second nod. Alex Andrzejewski, Michael Bickers, and Eric Zuk were first-time honorees.

G is just about to outgrow his first pair of Chucks. We had a wicked step-sister moment this afternoon as we muscled those sweet baby toes into the 4 inch soles...so I thought I'd better pay tribute now before the magic wears off entirely.
These sneakers were the golden ticket that warped him from babyhood to boyhood. How is this even possible? We first slipped them on not even 5 months ago. Back then, he was not even standing on his own and his first steps were nowhere on the radar. Today his Chucks take him on brave backyard adventures and he is more curious, busy, and carefree in them than ever before.
This is the short story of 5 minutes in G's shoes.
(Above) Sometimes we sit on the steps to watch squirrels or airplanes or blow bubbles together. Sometimes he stops to rest here after his treasure hunts, to inspect and inevitably taste his precious finds.
But never for more than 30 seconds. Then we are off and running.
We can count on the adventure leading us to the rock bed. This is where we sit or squat for quite some time, combing for the perfect stones. Most are discarded into the window well of the basement. One or two will make the cut and be grasped in his palms as we continue the adventure. I often wonder what qualities a rock must possess to qualify.
Somewhere along the line, he peers through the fence to point and bark at the neighbor's dog. The dog barks back. I startle. G keeps on woo-woo-woofing. He is fearless.
The adventure goes on and on...Sometimes I wish I could cast a spell and keep him in his little Chucks, contained in our backyard forever. But savoring our afternoon, brushing the dirt off of his 4" soles, and kissing his yummy cheeks today is about the best I can do...That and ponder what color his next pair should be? I love this adventure.
this is the story of a boy and his chucks.
G is just about to outgrow his first pair of Chucks. We had a wicked step-sister moment this afternoon as we muscled those sweet baby toes into the 4 inch soles...so I thought I'd better pay tribute now before the magic wears off entirely.

Brad Pitt and Chanel No. 5 Have Gone To the Dogs [VIDEO]
This month, Chanel announced that for the low low price of $7 million, Brad Pitt would be the first male spokesperson for its famous luxury perfume Chanel No. 5. But ever since the bizarre commercials started airing, they've gotten their fair share of well-deserved mockery.
The people at Chanel think it's a good thing -- because, hey, any publicity is good publicity, even if your ad campaign is completely ridiculous. We kind of agree, because this is getting fun.
And now that a dog is involved, it's even better.
'Saturday Night Live' had a great time spoofing the spot, but our new favorite take-off is this Pet Collective ad for Kennel No. 5. Because dogs just make everything more awesome.
If you haven't had the pleasure yet, here's the original Pitt version. Maybe they should've just gone with the dog to start with.

Barbara Major was everyone's extra mom
New London - Erma Bombeck, in "When God Created Mothers," wrote this once:
"When the Good Lord was creating mothers, He was into His sixth day of overtime when the angel appeared and said, 'You're doing a lot of fiddling around on this one.'
"And God said, 'Have you read the specs on this order? She has to have 180 moveable parts ... all replaceable. Run on black coffee and leftovers. … A kiss that can cure anything from a broken leg to a disappointed love affair. And six pairs of hands.'
"'God,' the angel said, 'get some rest tomorrow.'
"'I can't,' said God, 'I'm so close to creating something so close to myself. Already I have one who heals herself when she is sick ... can feed a family of six on one pound of hamburger ... and can get a nine-year old to stand under a shower.'"
That was Barbara Major.
New London's mom.
And it was with unspeakable sorrow that her family, friends, colleagues and the city for which she was the unofficial caretaker learned of her death Friday.
We all mourn.
We will spend the rest of our lives missing her.
Barbara was the city she loved: Door always open. Always a seat at her table. She embodied Dr. King's "content of their character" speech. She saw people, not color. Unless the colors were green and gold. The Majors are New London's first family. Because they espouse the virtues on which the city stands. They are diverse, inclusive, opinionated, loyal.
Barbara spent many years as the city's Republican Registrar of Voters. And yet reader Vin Yannacci said it best:
"Describing Barbara as being the Republican Registrar of Voters is like describing Lincoln as a country lawyer," Yannacci wrote. "She was so much more to people who knew her personally and those who just benefited from who she was.
"Thanks to being best friends with Patrick Heap, I spent most of my youth and a very good portion of my young adulthood, listening to Joe and Marge and Tommie and Barbara holding court on the Heap's front porch.
"The most valuable lesson I learned from those four Whalers was, love her or hate her, good time or bad, New London was my hometown and that should mean something.
"Prayers and good thoughts to Tommie and the kids and everyone who is feeling her loss."
Barbara's husband, Tommie, runs the city's Recreation Department. He's been an assistant football coach at the high school since forever, punctuating pregame atmospheres with an act that's part revival, part comedy. The train's comin'.
Tommie and Barbara raised Melissa, Alexis, Tommie, Todd and Tyler.
And yet they had so many more children.
Like the night Barbara awakened at 3 a.m., walked in the kitchen and found Rajai Davis snacking at the table. This is the Rajai Davis who plays for the Detroit Tigers now.
"You go right on eating Rajai," Barbara remembered saying, as she went back to bed.
Rajai: "They helped me out when it was tough. I didn't have any money. I didn't really have ways to eat the way I wanted to. Their house was always open. The Majors were very good to me."
Once, Barbara and I were having lunch and she said of her house, "we have a revolving door."
And one day, Jordan Reed walked through it.
This is the Jordan Reed who plays for the Washington Redskins now.
Tommie and Barbara, five kids in, took in Reed, the unofficial Major No. 6. Karen Reed, Jordan's mom, lived in New Britain and was paying rent in New London because she wanted her son to play for former New London coach Jack Cochran. It became a financial burden.
"Tyler, who is one of Jordan's best friends, came to me and said, 'Can Jordan live with us?'" Barbara said once. "I had already fallen in love with him. How could we say no?"
The Majors became Jordan Reed's legal guardians.
"What the Majors have done for me ... coach Major, I look up to him like a dad," Jordan Reed once said. "And Mrs. Major is another mom."
Barbara liked to end her Facebook posts with "taa daa." Always something about her kids, grandkids, the Whalers or the menu. Like from Easter:
"What to make for Easter dinner? Let's see: we have roast beef, turkey, ham, lasagna, lamb chops, Lighthouse Inn Potatoes, green bean casseroles, butternut squash, turnips, and four different cakes, plus a nice spinach salad with fresh fruit and feta cheese!!! I'm thinking I'll pick a couple of entrées and save the rest for another time. Plus rice pudding for my mom!!! Taaa daaa."
I'll remember Barbara for care packages, yelling at me over something I wrote, watching the Whalers, advice on parenting and being a beacon for love. As in: We should all love something in our lives the way Barbara Major loved her city.
Rest in peace.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – For the first time in the history of the MIT men's volleyball program, two players were selected to the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) All-America team as freshman Brendan Chang (Laytonsville, Md.) earned a spot on the first team while senior Matt Hohenberger (St. Louis, Mo.) was tabbed to the second team. In addition, Hohenberger became the second MIT men's volleyball player to be a two-time honoree as he was voted to the first team last season.
An outside hitter, Hohenberger graduates as MIT's all-time leader in aces in a career (238) and a season (104) along with aces per set for a career (0.60) and season (0.99). He ranks second in career kills (1,495), fourth in hitting percentage (.337), and fifth in career kills per set (3.76). This year, Hohenberger placed third in the nation in kills per set (4.10) and 17th in aces per set (0.45).
Chang, one of only three freshmen to be recognized by the AVCA, is the first freshman and libero at MIT to earn All-America honors. On the strength of his Institute-record 446 digs, he stands second in the country in digs and digs per set (3.35). As the Engineers' primary passer, Chang generated a .950 reception percentage as he committed 29 reception errors in 584 attempts.

From My Inbox - Treasure Chest Thursday
It appeared in my inbox on Thursday. An e-mail from my cousin's husband stating that the Library of Congress is putting the entire Victor catalog online. I can only presume that Victor refers to the RCA Victor recording company. What a find! He included a link to the website that listed 4 recordings by Nathalie Hansen.
Nathalie was my great-grandfather's second wife and an opera singer in Norway. It would seem, judging from the recording dates that she came to the United States on more than one occasion. I had known of a trip in 1915 to visit her daughter Lili who was living in New York but hadn't looked further. I can see that more research is in order. It appears that Nathalie was recording in New Your between Oct 1916 and Sept 1918. Here I always thought she was in Norway with her children.
Thanks for the treasure cousin Paul!
Try this link to listen to Nathalie sing.

Das Haus German Heritage Museum will open at 2 p.m. Sunday, May 19, for its 39th season.
Located at 2549 Niagara Road in Bergholz, the museum is the principal project of the Historical Society of North German Settlements in WNY, and tells the story of the people who left Northern Germany in 1843 to be able to teach their children their own religious beliefs. Villages in Bergholz, Walmore and Martinsville (now part of North Tonawanda) were settled that year, and St. Johnsburg followed soon after.
Within a few years Wolcottsville was organized along the same co-operative, but not communist, lines. Other settlements in Gratwick (North Tonawanda), LaSalle (Niagara Falls) and North Ridge (rural Lockport) maintained the North German heritage.
The house itself is an 1843 American style garrison log cabin, but the roof is German style. Exhibits tell about trips over the Atlantic Ocean, early self-sufficiency, and later accommodation to American ways. A research library in Der Stall, a modern building following a traditional design, helps people who are descended from this group trace their ancestors.
Das Haus and Der Stall are operated completely with volunteers. The museum will be open every Sunday afternoon from 2 to 4 until Oct. 20. Groups can be accommodated at other times by reservation. There is no charge, but donations are welcome. For more information, call 716-731-9905.


text: January 2006 Demanding Attention: Addressing the Dynamics of Small Arms Demand This is a joint publication by QUNO and the Small Arms Survey. It summarizes the findings of a multi-year project that included research in Brazil, Colombia, South Africa, Papua New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands. The paper aimed to inform the debates at the 2006 Review Conference (reviewing implementation of the 2001 UN Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects). Most international debates focus on the supply-related dimensions of small arms problems, which include, for instance, regulating arms brokers, establishing controls on arms transfers etc. This paper brings a necessary, complementary view, to broaden the international community's understanding of those demand factors that underpin and drive small arms dynamics. The paper provides some practical suggestions about how demand issues may be taken up in the future.

A new method is developed to simulate the fully coupled motion involving an ellipsoidal particle and the ambient fluid. This method essentially reduces a two-phase flow problem into a single-phase fluid flow problem. The momentum exchange at the interface between the particle and the fluid is computed in a spectral element method. To validate this method and demonstrate the accuracy of the results, theoretical data as well as results from the direct numerical simulations (DNS) via a spectral element method are obtained to provide reference and comparison.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - On Tuesday, MIT women's tennis faced off against Wheaton College in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) match. While the Engineers were able to put up a fight, the conference-leading Lyons pulled out a 6-3 win to secure the regular-season title.
MIT's Leslie Hansen and Anastasia Vishnevetsky were responsible for all three of the Engineer's points as they each found success in singles and teamed up to secure MIT's only win in doubles.
Wheaton's Alesandra Di'Orio and Katherine Knies pulled out a tough tie-breaker win at #2 doubles, while Ellen Van Fassen and Rosalyn Chesky won easily in position #3. In singles, Van Fassen rallied from a 0-6 first set to win the #3 match over MIT's Anisa McCree. Di'Orio, Knies, and Chesky all scored individual points to round out the match for Wheaton.
The Engineers will compete in a make-up match against the Beavers of Babson College next Tuesday, October 20, at 2 p.m. Both Wheaton and MIT will be participating in this weekend's New England Women's Intercollegiate Tennis Tournament (NEWITT) at Amherst and will then advance to play in the NEWMAC Championship Tournament October 24-25, hosted by MIT.

The Lipscomb Bisons battled Kennesaw State for 11 innings, but fell one run short of getting a sweep of the Atlantic Sun Conference series.
Coach Jeff Forehand, whose Bisons beat Kennesaw State 4-3 Friday night behind the pitching of Josh Smith and 6-0 in game one Saturday as Davey Hackett threw his first ever collegiate shutout and complete game, was disappointed that his team didn't sweep.
But a few minutes after the 12-11 loss in the nightcap at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh Stadium Forehand admitted winning two games in an A-Sun series is a positive.
"We played three good games," Forehand said. "A sweep against anybody is great. But it is probably one of the hardest things to do in sports."
The Bisons are 12-21, 4-5 in the A-Sun. Kennesaw State is 14-20, 5-7.
"Winning a series gets us back in the conference race where we need to be," Forehand said. "Winning a series is what we set out to do every weekend."
The Bisons are still trying to develop a third weekend starter. Freshman left-hander Chris Nunn as filled the role the last two weekends, but he lasted only 1.1 innings against Kennesaw State. He gave up two hits and four runs, all earned. He walked three and struck out two.
Dannie Strable pitched one shutout inning in relief, allowing four hits and walking one.
Mike Grace threw three innings. He scattered four hits and allowed two runs, both earned. He walked one and struck out three. Alex Ross was on the mound for 1.1 innings. He only gave up one hit, but allowed three runs, all earned. He walked two and struck out one.
Chad Fromm came into the game as a closer but wound up spending 4.1 innings on the mound. He was touched for five hits and three runs, two earned. He walked three and struck out four.
Fromm, who fell to 1-5, gave up the game-winning home run to Josh Whitaker to left field to open the 11th. Whitaker and Brandon Brown each had four hits to lead Kennesaw State. Whitaker was tops on the team with three runs batted in.
Ryan Wilkins led the Bisons with four hits, including a home run. Kyle Henry slammed a triple, his second of the day. Tyler Wilson and Matt Brewer each hit a double. It was the first double of the season for Brewer.
The Bisons, thanks to a six-run sixth inning, led 9-6. Kennesaw State tied the game with four runs in the seventh to lead 10-9.
The Bisons answered with two in the eighth for an 11-10 advantage. Kennesaw State tied the game with one in the ninth.
"We had opportunities to win all throughout the game and we didn't finish the job," Forehand said.
Five of the runs scored by Kennesaw State were the result of walks.
"That is what is happening to us on game three," Forehand said. "You can't defend walks. You have to make the other team earn what it gets.
"Kennesaw State earned it at the end. Everybody remembers the guy that hit the home run which won the game, but five runs were scored on walks. That's something we have to keep working on. We will try to find us a game three starter to get us off to a good start."
Hackett, a sophomore right-hander, easily pitched his best collegiate game in his second weekend as the game two starter. He threw his first shutout and his first complete game in a Bisons uniform.
He gave up five runs, three to Kennesaw State's Peyton Hart. He walked two and struck out eight. Hackett was coming off a frustrating relief performance when he gave up a home run and single at Tennessee Tech Wednesday night.
"Davey was as good I think we seen him," Forehand said. "He pitched with confidence. We played a good game behind him. When everything is going well that is what Davey Hackett is able to do."
Forehand thinks that the poor outing at Tennessee Tech was the primary motivation factor for Hackett.
"I think he had a little chip on his shoulder," Forehand said. "He came out and just pitched a gem. That is what every coach wants."
Lee Wilson hit his first collegiate home run. Henry had a triple. Cory Hale and Zach Messer each collected a double.
The Bisons are back in action April 13 at Tennessee. They are back in A-Sun play against Florida Gulf Coast April 16-18 at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh Stadium.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 Screenshots Are A Maelstrom of Action
The release date for the next entry in the ninja-brawling series is fast approaching, so enjoy this offering of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 screenshots!
And as you can see, there are more screenshots here than there are ninjas in your room right now (there are about five standing behind you). There's so much action happening in the fights that you can hardly tell who's who, unless you're very well-versed in the Naruto universe and can identify characters based on color scheme alone.
The battles look fast, deadly, and absolutely gorgeous. The graphics really make the game look like the anime just came to life on your TV. Even the free-roaming segments that show Naruto schlepping around town look beautiful, especially the way the shadows fall and create a subdued, peaceful atmosphere.
But let's get real, you're in it for the fights! Check out the screenshots below and let us know what you think about this game! Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 will be out on March 5th, 2013. And as it was announced in the Jinchuriki trailer, early pre-orders will get Day 1 Special Edition upgrades with all kinds of goodies.

Obama's Response To Too Much Secrecy About Surveillance... Is More Secrecy
from the you're-doing-it-wrong dept
Obama has been gradually tweaking his vast government surveillance policies. But he is not disclosing those changes to the public. Has he stopped spying on friendly world leaders? He won't say. Has he stopped eavesdropping on the United Nations, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund? He won't say.As is noted in the article, the administration, which likes to pretend it's the most transparent in history, is actually one of the most secretive. Its attempts at transparency have almost exclusively been focused on where it can get the most political bang, not for what areas people expect the government to be transparent about -- such as how it interprets the laws that allow the government to spy on everyone...
Even the report by the group Obama created to review and recommend changes to his surveillance programs has been kept secret.
What's incredible is that it appears that no one high up in the administration seems to recognize how this is a strategy that will almost certainly make things worse, not better. It may be how the administration is used to functioning, but it makes it much more difficult to believe anything that is said about a supposed "vigorous public debate" being held on the surveillance activities. It also means that as more leaks come out revealing more questionable practices, the constant backtracking and excuses will just destroy whatever credibility the administration has left on this issue. If, instead, it were to actually be transparent and simply reveal things like how it interprets the law, and allows for a real public discussion on these matters, that would actually result in some frank discussions that the administration seems terrified of actually having.
Extreme secrecy may seem like the easier short-term strategy, but it's just digging an ever deeper hole that the administration is going to have to try to climb out of in the long-term. Hiding reality from a public that's going to find out eventually is just making the problem worse.

Bachelor of Arts in geology established at UH Hilo
UH Hilo Home > News and Events > UH Hilo Press Releases
Date: Monday, March 18, 2002
Contact: Dr. Christopher Lu, (808) 974-7707
For Immediate Release
The University of Hawai`i Board of Regents recently announced the establishment of a bachelor of arts degree in geology at the University of Hawai`i at Hilo, effective Fall 2002. The announcement was made at a meeting held on March 15, 2002 at UH Hilo.
"The Geology Department currently offers a bachelor of science degree in geology with a strong mathematical component, designed for students planning to pursue graduate degrees," said Chancellor Rose Tseng. "The
bachelor of arts degree in geology will attract students who plan to pursue teacher certification, natural resource management, scientific/technical writing, and other fields combining a strong liberal arts background with
science training."
Students in the B.A. track will take most of the same geology courses as students in the B.S. track, but the B.A. students will take fewer supporting courses in math, chemistry, and physics. Calculus and
calculus-based physics are required of the B.S. students to prepare them for graduate school, not to prepare them for geology courses, Tseng added. "The new degree will make the study of geology more accessible to such students, and allow UH Hilo to make more effective use of the Big Island as a living laboratory," Tseng explained.
The B.A. track also differs from the B.S. track in that it offers a wider exposure to various earth science disciplines. Such breadth will be particularly valuable for students planning on careers in secondary education.
The expected outcome of the two geology tracks is a 25 percent increase in geology majors and fuller enrollment in geology courses. The program currently has roughly 25 students.
"We are very excited to be able to offer two degree tracks," said Jene Michaud, chair of the geology department. "The Big Island is a wonderful place to study geology, and with two tracks, we can prepare geology majors for a wider variety of careers.
"What makes this feasible is the fact the new degree does not require any new courses or increased resources," she added. "The two-track system will simply make more efficient use of existing resources."
"The new B.A. in geology will prepare students with a broader background and allow them to be entrepreneurs in exploring and expanding the educational, tourism and business activities related to the uniqueness of geological features on the Big Island of Hawai`i," said Dr. Christopher Lu, vice chancellor of academic affairs.

Zac Brown Band Open New Nashville Studio, Restaurant and Bar in the Works
Get ready, Nashville, because Zac Brown Band is preparing to take over! The Georgia-based band recently expanded Brown's Southern Ground Artist, Inc. record label by opening a new recording studio in Music City — and brought with them promises of a bar and restaurant, coming soon.
"We're coming to Nashville, [and] we want to exceed expectations," says Brown, who adds that the studio is not the end of his franchise in the birthplace of country music. "We're infiltrating, so [the studio] is the first step towards that. We're gonna have a restaurant here and a bar here eventually."
Wile Brown is just about as famous for his cooking skills as he is for his musical chops, we'll have to wait just a little bit longer to dig into some of his delicious southern grub. However, Nashville needn't worry, because the band is taking their Southern Ground Music and Food Festival to Riverfront Park in September for two full days of music, food and entertainment. Those three are things the band has prided themselves on since hitting the music scene, even offering fans a special eat-and-greet before their shows.
"We want to be known for doing things differently," Brown says. "When you feed somebody a great meal, they remember it. We are one of the people, and when we get to sit and eat with our fans, it's a reminder to them and to ourselves that we're no different than they are even though we're up on stage."
Zac Brown Band's third studio album, 'Uncaged,' is set to hit stores on July 10. The album's first single, 'The Wind,' is already blowing up the charts — pun very much intended.

100, a photo by kristin~mainemomma on Flickr.
100 days (yesterday) of this new year gone.
100 photos taken.
100 little blurbs written each day so my not so sharp brain can look back and remember. so far i have shot:
- 15 shots of mugs (or drinks)
- 25 shots of something i am either cooking or eating
- 9 shots of us in varies stages of "sick"
- 8 shots of feet
- 1 concert
- 3 birthdays
it is funny to look back and see what you stopped to notice. i hope the next 100 has a whole lot less "sick" and a whole lot more sun and play.
are you still on the 365 (oops 366. leap year) wagon?
i am determined to complete this one.
so far so good.
if only i could channel that same determination into exercise... lol

The gently flowing Buffalo Bayou river is Houston's main waterway. But it also plays another important role: along the Bayou runs a promenade connecting the city's theatre district with Buffalo Bayou Park. At the end of the last decade, the boulevard was thoroughly renovated.
The Buffalo Bayou Promenade is a 2-kilometre-long green carpet that runs to and from the city centre. After the renovation, Houston in fact gained a 9-hectare park. The brand-new Sabine to Bagby Waterfront Park, which is part of this corridor, boasts numerous walking and biking trails. Everything is beautifully illuminated and a variety of artwork decorates the many trails. There is certainly nothing boring about a walk in this park!
Art plays an important role in the green landscape. The eye-catching steel boats – sculptures by local celebrity John Runnels – are just one of the many landmarks you can enjoy. The pedestrian bridge that connects the 2 banks of the promenade also attracts attention. The steel and concrete structure of the bridge is lit up and the construction materials are embedded with a variety of art. The view from the water is even better and landscape architects have equipped the park with several landings from where you can launch a canoe or kayak.
In 1987, when local artists began a spontaneous exhibit at an old farmer's market in the centre of the city, they had no idea they were creating a new local tradition. Today there is even a Buffalo Bayou Artpark. Every spring the city's green space gains a new collection of 20 to 25 pieces of art, many of which are sculptures, and a large number of these works end up on the shores of the Buffalo Bayou for people to enjoy. The event has gone beyond showcasing the work of local talent; even internationally renowned artists contribute to the Artpark.
"Buffalo Bayou Artpark lends an additional dynamic element to the area"

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — The first review under Major League Baseball's expanded replay system has taken place and after a further look that took 2½ minutes, the call stood.
Toronto manager John Gibbons used his challenge to ask umpires to review a play in the sixth inning of Monday's game against Minnesota.
Chris Rahl of the Twins was called safe at first base when shortstop Munenori Kawasaki's throw pulled Jared Goedert off the bag.
The umpires gathered in front of the first base dugout while umpire Brian O'Nora watched the replays from a satellite truck outside the ballpark. After a wait of 2 minutes, 34 seconds, first base umpire Fieldin Culbreth spread his hands in the safe sign.
MLB has expanded replay this year beyond potential home runs and boundary calls. This season, most every play except for balls-and-strikes is subject to a review, with calls coming from a replay booth in New York.

A little over a week ago, we showed you that players of the Autobot version of the DS' Transformers Revenge of the Fallen were beating Decepticons fans. Things have changed.
The game's first online meta-game battle did end with owners of the Autobot version of the game winning, having scored 48 million Energon points to the bad guys' 40 million. This cast some doubt on claims I'd heard from Transformers experts that the Autobot and Decepticon consumer bases are split 50/50.
But the second and current battle waged by the games' owners, owners of the Decepticon version of the game are beating their rivals 100 million to 93 million.
The conflicts are waged by players connecting their DS online to activate daily single-player challenges and then uploading their point tallies. Those challenges are associated with regions on a world map, and the battle continues until a faction claims all regions.
The balance might be even after all. And the growing numbers are a sign that the game's online play is being adopted by consumers.

a couple of stages ago team sky just ****ing blew the peloton apart leaving evans basically isolated, and then evans tried to steal some time and froome flew past him like he was a bug. It's a bit like Evans v the Schlecks over all again, except these two can actually time trial. I'd love to say Evans is still in a good position and what not, but a mixture of a favourable course for wiggins and a team that's suss as **** (Froome? who the **** is he? Rogers? didn't he say he was quitting grand tours after 2010?! since when has wiggins been able to beat cancellara by 50 seconds in a TT?) makes it pretty hard to do so. I don't see Wiggins being isolated very often. team sky will be the guys setting the pace up the mountain. good luck getting away from there evans. he's basically relying on pinching time on descents, cause that's about the only sky/wiggins weakness available to exploit.
of course, it is early, and hell the descents could change everything, and I'd love to repeat almost all my previous form when i make serious posts, but man i just don't see how you can be anything but horribly pessimistic about evans. we're on the first rest day and the favourite has yellow, is almost up 2 minutes on the next favourite, and all the other team leaders are basically out of it. the chief domestique for wiggins is 3rd, and they've both just thrashed the man considered to be the best TTer in the world...and there's another TT to go. The 2nd favourite is left having to do something fairly foreign to him in the tour - make up time climbing

Catholic Sacramental Records
This article originally appeared in "Colonial Spanish Borderland Research" by George R. Ryskamp, JD, AG in The Source: A Guidebook to American Genealogy
Whether generated by monks or friars presiding over missions or by secular priests presiding over organized parish churches, sacramental registers are nearly identical. Parish archives contain nine major categories of records: baptisms, marriages, death or burial records, confirmations, co-fraternity books, account books, censuses, individual documents, and local history materials. The records of the sacraments'the first four categories of baptisms, marriages, deaths, and confirmations'are found in nearly every mission or parish. Generally, they are divided into three separate books or sets of books, with confirmations appearing along with baptisms except in very large parishes. In smaller parishes and in earlier years, all three of the records may have been kept in the same book, although generally within separate sections. The attached image shows the title page for the first book of baptisms for the San Francisco, California, mission.
Marriage records are especially valuable, as a marriage entry in a Spanish colonial parish usually contains the names and surnames of the bride and groom with an indication of their professions, residences, birthplaces, ages at the time of marriage, parents' names, racial descriptions of the parties, date the marriage was celebrated, name of the parish, and name of the priest performing the marriage. The record also states whether the three canonical admonitions (similar to the English banns) were published or dispensed with. In addition to the above, the marriage certificate records any special difficulties or circumstances surrounding the event. For example, on some occasions there may have been an objection or impediment to the marriage necessitating an apostolic dispensation.
In many cases, marriage records are missing details such as the ages of the bride or groom. Nevertheless, the parents' names are given (although not often in the case of a second marriage) and, frequently, the parents' residence and/or birthplace of the groom. Obviously, this information is particularly valuable as it may be the only clue regarding the town of origin of the male ancestor. The town of origin of the female ancestor in a marriage is usually known, because the vast majority of all marriages are performed in the parish of the woman. The significant value of a marriage entry is illustrated by the attached image, a page of marriage entries from the St. Louis Cathedral, New Orleans, Louisiana, during the Spanish period.<ref>Alice Daly Forsyth, Louisiana Marriages: A Collection of Marriage Records from the St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans during the Spanish Regime and the Early American Period: 1784-1806 (New Orleans: Polyanthos, 1977).</ref> Note several grooms' birthplaces are shown.
Some parish records will have collections of separate, individual documents, including testamentos (wills), capellanias (special grants given to the parish in the form of land, money, or other property by its members), pleitos (litigation papers), and expedientes matrimoniales (marriage petitions containing copies of baptismal records filed by the bride and groom at the time they were requesting marriage).
Frequently, the priest recognized that his sacramental books were documents that would be preserved for centuries and, as a result, made notes about historical moments of particular interest or times and events of national importance. In working through the pages of parish records, watch for these items, such as the date on which the first stone was laid for the building of a new sacristy, visits of important individuals, or tragic events such as fires, floods, or droughts and their impact on the people of the parish. For example, in New Orleans the priest recorded the transfer of the colony to representatives of the Congress of the United States of America in 1803 in his baptismal register. All of these local history materials provide great insight into the lives of one's ancestors and can add significant color and human dimension to the family's history.

Source: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/two.../1100-6446753/PC company Razer announced two ambitious-looking prototypes at the Consumer Electronics Show last week, including a laptop with three screens and a smart projector. Project Valerie (the laptop) and Project Ariana (the projector) are pretty eye-catching pieces of technology--and thieves apparently took notice.According to Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan, two of its prototypes were stolen from the company's CES booth over the weekend, though he didn't say which ones. Razer filed police reports and is currently working with CES show management and law enforcement to discuss what comes next. The executive added that "industrial espionage" has not been ruled out.
"We treat theft/larceny, and if relevant to this case, industrial espionage, very seriously--it is cheating, and cheating doesn't sit well with us. Penalties for such crimes are grievous and anyone who would do this clearly isn't very smart," Tan said.
The executive didn't say which prototypes specifically were stolen.
People who attended CES or have any information about the theft are asked to reach out to Razer at this email: firstname.lastname@example.com. Tan said all information will be "kept in the strictest of confidence."
They aren't talking but I bet someone stole Valerie.
