[Mr. Garrison is so furious that no word comes out of his mouth]
Stan: Holy shit, dude.
Sheila Broflovski: Remember what the MPAA says; Horrific, Deplorable violence is okay, as long as people don't say any naughty woids! That's what this war is all about!
[Kenny has just died in the hospital]
Cartman: I bet him he couldn't do it. I bet him a hundred dollars.
Kyle: It's not your fault, Cartman.
Cartman: Dude, I know, I'm just fuckin' stoked I don't have to pay him.
Kyle: Oh, that's real nice! He was your friend, you fat fuck!
Cartman: You guys, this is all Kyle's mom's fault.
Kyle: Shut up, Cartman.
Cartman: Kyle's mom is the one that started that damn club and all because she's a big fat stupid bit...
Kyle: Don't say it, Cartman.
Cartman: Well...
Kyle: Don't do it, Cartman.
Cartman: Well...

Cartman: What?
[Cartman turns around seeing Mrs. Broflovski]
Cartman: Oh... Fuck!
Sheila Broflovski: What the heck is a rimjob?
Mrs. Cartman: Why, that's where you put your legs behind your head and let someone lick your ass.
Dr. Doctor: We accidentally replaced your heart with a baked potato. You have about three seconds to live.

[American representative stands up and clears his throat]
American Representative: Fuck Canada!
Canadian Representative: Hey fuck you buddy!
Stan: What would Brian Boitano do if he was here right now? / He'd make a plan and follow through, that's what Brian Boitano'd do!
Kyle: When Brian Boitano was in the Olympics skating for the Gold, / he did two salchows and a triple lutz while wearing a blindfold!
Cartman: When Brian Boitano was in the Alps fighting grizzly bears / he used his magical fire breath and saved the maidens fair!
Stan, Kyle: So what would Brian Boitano do if he were here today? / I'm sure he'd kick an ass or two, that's what Brian Boitano'd do!
Cartman: I want this V-chip out of me. / It has stunted my vocabulary.
Kyle: And I just want my mom to stop fighting everyone.
Stan: For Wendy I'll be an activist too, / 'cause that's what Brian Boitano'd do!

Terrance, Phillip: Uncle Fucker. That's U-N-C-L-E FUCK YOU! UNCLE FUCKAAAAHH...
Phillip: Suck my balls.
Gregory: I must say, I don't believe I belong here with these rogues. I transferred from Yardale where I had a 4.0 grade point average.

Cartman: Mom? If you were in a German "scheisse" video, you... you'd tell me, right?
[short pause]

[the boys have just watched an edited version of "Asses of Fire" and are leaving the theater with the other kids, past the ticket booth again]
Kyle: Man, this movie gets better every time I see it!
Ticket Taker: Hey!
Cartman: Yeah, but you know what? That whole part about lighting farts is bullshit. You can't do that.
Kenny McCormick: [muffled] Yeah, you can!
Cartman: [stops and turns] No way.
Kenny McCormick: [muffled] Yes you can. You can *too* light a fart on fire.
Cartman: Okay, Kenny. I'll bet you a hundred dollars you can't light a fart on fire.
Kenny McCormick: [muffled] Yes you can. Check it out.
[he lights his fart on fire and laughs; his parka suddenly erupts in flames and he screams in horror; the boys are shocked]
Stan: Holy shit, dude!
Cartman: Ah! Oh my God! Hey!
[begins beating Kenny with a stick]
Cartman: Aw, shit! Aw, shit!
Stan: [steps forward and yells] Help! Somebody do something!
[he steps back and the stick lights up]
Cartman: Aahh! This stick is on fire!
[an ambulance rushes up and stops, but a Russell's Salt truck rushes up and bumps it away; the truck bed lifts up at the front end and dumps the salt on Kenny; if the fire was injury, this is insult]
Kenny McCormick: [muffled] Ooowww!
[the ambulance siren dies and the salt doesn't move; the boys stare at the truck]
Stan: Oh my God, you killed Kenny!
Kyle: You bastard!
Cartman: Wow, I guess you *can* light a fart on fire, huh?
Cartman: See, it doesn't hurt anyone! Fuck, fuckety, fuck, fuck, fuck.
Kyle: Let me have some candy, Cartman.
Cartman: Let's see, hmm, nope, I don't have any Jewish candy.
Kyle: Fine! Like you really need all that chocolate, fat boy!
Newscaster: But, Mr. Minister, it isn't like this film is the first troublesome thing to come out of Canada. Let us not forget Bryan Adams.
Canadian Representative: Now, now, the Canadian Government has apologized for Bryan Adams on several occasions!
Kenny's Mom: Well, fine. You go ahead and miss church and then when you die and go to hell, you can answer to Satan!
Kenny: [pauses] Okay!
Kenny: Goodbye, you guys.
Army General: [shouting] You told us that windows 98 would be faster, and more efficient with better access to the internet!
Bill Gates: It IS faster! Over five million...
[General shoots Bill Gates and everyone cheers]
Stan: Wait, before we put a message out, do a search on the word clitoris.
Kyle: Hmm OK Found: 8,000,000 pages found with the word clitoris.
Mr. Mackey: [singing] Step 4, don't say fuck anymore, 'cause fuck is the worst word that you can say.
Children: Fuck is the worst word that you can say. We shouldn't say fuck, no we shouldn't say fuck, fuck no!
[at a spelling bee]
Teacher: The word is "forensics".
Kid: Ah, fuck that. Why should we fucking have to spell forensics?
[cheers from kids in audience]
Kid: S-U-C-K-M-Y-A-S-S. Forensics.
Big Gay Al: Bombs are flying, people are dying, children are crying, politicians are lying too. Cancer is killing, Texaco's spilling, the whole world's gone to hell, but how are you?
Big Gay Al: I'm super! Thanks for asking!
Kyle: WUUUUaaahh! WUUUaaaaahhhhh!
Soldier: Hey, you hear that? Sounds like a giraffe's dying over there!
Saddam Hussein: Ya like that, don't ya, bitch?
The Mole: Hold me.
The Mole: There is no hope now, you must get out of here.
Kyle: We can't leave without you!
The Mole: It's okay, I'm done for.
Kyle: No! We can't leave without you! We don't know where the hell we are!
The Mole: Were is your God when you need him, huh? Where is your beautiful, merciful faggot now?
The Mole: Here I come, God. Here I come, you fucking rat.
The Mole: [singing] Now the light, she fades... and darkness settles in... but I will find strength...
Kyle: No, Mole, hang on...
The Mole: [singing] I will find pride within...
Kyle: We'll get you home...
The Mole: [singing] Because although I die...
Kyle: I can't face my mother...
The Mole: [singing] Our freedom will be won...
Kyle: Not alone!
The Mole: [singing] Though I die... La Resistance lives... on... BLECHHHHH!
The Mole: [dramatic music starts]
Kyle: [cutting the orchestra off suddenly] SHIT!
Satan: How come you always want to make love to me from behind? Is it because you want to pretend I'm somebody else?
Saddam Hussein: Satan, your ass is gigantic and red. Who am I going to pretend you are, Liza Minelli?
Billy Baldwin: [answers the phone] Baldwin residence. No, this is Billy Baldwin. If you want Daniel Baldwin call his extension, stupid!
[hangs up the phone]
Billy Baldwin: Hey Alec, you know what sucks about being a Baldwin?
Alec Baldwin: No, what?
Billy Baldwin: Nothing!
[for no reason]
Eric Cartman: I hate you Kenny.
Newscaster: It's been six weeks since Saddam Hussein was killed by a pack of wild boars and the world is still glad to be rid of him.
Mr. Mackey: I guess I'll have to send a warning letter out to parents before more children see Terrence & Phillip.
Cartman: Everybody's fucking seen it.
Mrs. Cartman: Eric!
Cartman: I'm sorry I can't help myself. That movie has warped my fragile little mind.
Mr. Garrison: I can't wait to take leave so I can get me some fucking poontang.
Kyle: Hey, Mole, be careful.
The Mole: Careful? Was my mother careful when she stabbed me in the heart with a clothes hanger while I was still in the womb?
Stan: Man, that kid is fucked up!
The Mole: Now, did you bring the mirror?
Stan: Check!
The Mole: Did you bring the rope?
Stan: Check!
The Mole: Did you bring the buttfor?
Stan: What's a buttfor?
The Mole: For pooping, silly.
Mr. Mackey: I want to know where you heard all this horrific obscenities, m'kay?
Kyle: Nowhere.
Stan: We heard them from Mr. Garrison a few times before.
Mr. Mackey: Boys, I seriously doubt that Mr Garrison ever said: "Eat penguin shit, you ass spelunker".
Satan: You have spilled the blood of the innocent. Now begins two million years of Darkness.
Chef: Oh, good job Mrs. Broslofski. Thanks a lot!
Eric Cartman: I had to ride my bike here. My behind is killing me.
Kyle: Your "behind"?
Eric Cartman: I have to say "behind" because I get shocked if I say "ass".
[VChip activates]
Eric Cartman: AGH!
Saddam Hussein: [singing] Some people say that I'm a bad guy, they may be right, they may be right. But it's not as if I don't try, I just fuck up, try as I might. But I can change, I can change! I can learn to keep my promises I swear it. I'll open up my heart and I will share it. Any minute now I will be born again! Yes, I can change, I can change, I know I've been a dirty little bastard. I like to kill, I like to maim, yes, I'm insane, but it's okay, cause I can change! It's not my fault that I'm so evil. It's society, society. You see my parents were sometimes abusive, and it made a prick of me! But I can change, I can change. I can learn to keep my promises I know it. I'll open up my heart and I will show it, any minute now I will be born again!
Satan: But what if you never change? What if you remain a sandy little butt-hole?
Saddam Hussein: Hey Satan, don't be such a twit. Mother Theresa won't have shit on me!
[In bed together]
Satan: Is sex the only thing that matters to you?
Saddam Hussein: I love you.
The Mole: You MUST shut of the alarms! I fucking hate guard dogs!
Cartman: Yeah, I heard you the first time you British piece of shit.
[gets shocked by the V-chip]
Cartman: Owww!
Brooke Shields: I once farted on the set of Blue Lagoon.
General: Now each battalion has a specific code-name and mission. Battalion 5, raise your hands!
[all the African American members put up their hands including Chef]
General: You will be the all important first defense wave, which we will call "Operation Human Shield".
Chef: Hey, wait a minute...
General: Now keep in mind, 'Operation Human Shield' will suffer heavy losses. But don't lose your spirit men! Stay until the bitter end. Battalion 14?
[all the White soldiers raise their hands]
General: Right, you are 'Operation Get Behind The Darkies'. You will follow Battalion 5 here and try not to get killed for God's Sake. Are there any questions men?
[Chef raises his hand]
General: Yes Soldier?
Chef: Have you ever heard of the Emancipation Proclamation?
General: I don't listen to hip-hop!
Chef: Hey!
Chef: [singing] Everything worked out what a happy end. Americans and Canadians are friends again. So let's all join hands and knock oppression down.
Cartman, Kyle, Stan: Don't you know our little lives are now complete?
Mrs. Cartman, Sheila Broflovski: 'Cause Terrance and phillip are sweet.
Sheila Broflovski: Super sweet.
everyone: Thank God we live in this quiet, little pissant, redneck, podunk, jerkwater, greenhorn, one-horse, mudhole, peckerwood, right-wing, whistle-stop, hobnail, truck-driving, old-fashioned, hayseed, inbred, unkempt, out-of-date, white trash...
Cartman, Kyle, Stan: Kick-ass!
everyone: Mountain... town!
Canadian Ambassador: Can I finish? Please, can I finish?
Canadian Ambassador: OK I'm finished.
Jimbo Kearn: Oh boy, military action, Ned, we're gonna kill us some goddam Australians!
Ned Gerblanski: I think we're fighting Canadians.
Jimbo Kearn: Canadians, Australians, what's the difference?
The Mole: If anything goes wrong, make a sound like a dying giraffe.
Stan: What's a dying giraffe sound like?
The Mole: WUUUUUaahhh! WUUUaaaaaaahhhhh!
Terrence: [singing] Looks like we may be out of luck.
Phillip: [singing] Tomorrow night, we're pretty fucked!
[in post-credits scene]
Ike: Guys out there is hurted.
[eats rat]
[the Mole ordered Cartman to disable the army camp alarms, but to his surprise the alarms sound when he tries to rescue Terrance and Phillip and he gets set upon by a pack of wild guard dogs, which he manages to escape from]
The Mole: [Bloody & mortally injured] Ze alarms, they went off?
Cartman: [Casually] Oh that was my bad, sorry.
Stan Marsh: Dude, dude, wake up!
[Kenny does so and gets dressed]
Stan Marsh: Kenny, come on!

Stan Marsh: Kenny! The new Terrance and Phillip movie is out! You wanna come with me?
Kenny McCormick: Yeah, dude! Come on, let's go, quick...
[They walk away... ]
Kenny's Mom: [appears at the door] Where'd you think YOU'RE going?
Kenny McCormick: We're going to the Terrance and Phillip movie.
Kenny's Mom: You can't, you gotta go to church.
Kenny McCormick: But mom, I really wanna see this movie!
Kenny's Mom: Fine. You go ahead and miss church. And then, when you die and go to hell, you can answer to Satan!
Kenny McCormick: ...Okay!
Satan: Saddam, could I talk to you over here for a second? I don't see why you have to belittle me in front of people like that.
Saddam Hussein: Relax guy.
Satan: Sometimes I think you don't have any respect for me.
Saddam Hussein: Come here, guy. Who's my cream puff?
Satan: I am.
Saddam Hussein: That's my baby!
Terrence: You're such a pig-fucker, Phillip!
Phillip: Terrance, why would you call me a pig-fucker?
Terrence: Well, let's see. First of all, you fuck pigs.
Phillip: Oh yeah!
Terrence: Now, Phillip, did you learn something in all this?
Phillip: I did, Terrence. I learned that you're a boner-biting, dick-fart, fuck-face!
[they laugh]
Mrs. Cartman: [singing "Blame Canada"] And my little boy eric, had my picture on his shelf / And now when he sees me he tells me to go fuck myself!
[to Phillip]
Terrence: This is worse than the time when I fell asleep and you put your dick in my mouth and took a picture.
Cartman: It was the Terrence & Phillip movie.
Kyle: Dude!
Cartman: What? Fuck you guys. I wanna get out of here.
Cartman: Yes, that's right, I saw the Terrance and Phillip movie. Now who wants to touch me?
Cartman: [yells] I said, who wants to fuckin' touch me?

Soldier: [marching by the Broflovskis' house] And I don't know what I've been told / Canadian pussy is mighty cold.
Satan: You have spilt the blood of the innocence, now begins 2,000,000 years of darkness!
Chef: [sarcastically] Oh, good job, Mrs. Broslofski! Thanks a lot!
Sheila Broslofski: [innocently] I was just trying to make the world a better place for children!
Saddam Hussein: Yeah, and brought enough intolerence in the world to allow my coming. Now everyone bow down to me!
[the Canadians and Americans do so]
Saddam Hussein: [laughs] Yeah!
Cartman: [after seeing Kenny's ghost] Mom I saw him, I saw Kenny!
Mrs. Cartman: Oh, you poor dear! You've been through so much.

[gets shocked]
Cartman: damn I can't say "pissed off" either!
[gets shocked again]
Cartman, Kyle, Stan: [singing] Why did our mothers start this war? What the fuck are they fighting for? When did this song become a marathon?
Cartman: That movie has warped my fragile little mind.
Terrence: Well, Phillip, I hope you've learned something from this whole experience.
Phillip: I sure have, Terrance. I've learned that you are a boner-biting, dick-fart, fuck face.
Terrence: [they laugh] Wanna see the northern lights?
[strikes a match, farts, burns up]
Phillip: Ha ha ha. You burned yourself to death by lighting your fart. Ha ha ha.
Terrence: I sure did, Philip!
Cartman: Hey Stan, tell them about the part where Terrence calls Phillip a testicle shitting rectal wart.
Stan: [singing] The sun is shining and the grass is green. / Under the three feet of snow, I mean.
Satan: Saddam, I need to talk to you
Saddam Hussein: Ah, you'd better get packing, bitch, we're running out of time.
Satan: [sighs] sometimes you can love someone very much, but still know they aren't right for you.
Saddam Hussein: What the *fuck* are you talking about?
Satan: You treat me like shit, Saddam! I'm leaving you!
Saddam Hussein: What? No? No! You can't do that! I have to go to Earth!
Satan: You don't even have any respect for me.
Saddam Hussein: Sure I do, guy, please, just hear me out
Stan: But this is going to be the best movie ever! It's a foreign film from Canada.
[his last words]
Kenny: Mmf mm mpf mm mommmppf mmf momm mmom mf mff. Mff mffs mmmph mmf, mmph? Mmmpf mpph.

Saddam Hussein: [singing] Hey, Satan, don't be such a twit / Mother Teresa won't have shit on me.
Ticket Taker: Hey wait a minute, where is your guardian?
Cartman: What?
Ticket Taker: I knew it! You paid a homeless guy to get you in. Didn't you?
Cartman: Fuck off, you donkey-raping shit eater.
Chef: [singing] Everything worked out/What a happy end/Canadians and Americans are friends again.
Satan: The day is mine!
Newscaster: Is Terrance and Philip affecting America's youth? Here with that report is a midget in a bikini.
Terrence: You don't eat or sleep or mow the lawn/ You just fuck your Uncle all day long!
[Kenny is falling into Hell, where he encounters the damned]
George Burns: Hey, fuckface. Have you seen Gracie?
[all hyped and ready after singing a song]
Stan: Can I have FIVE tickets to Terence Phillip: Asses on Fire, please?
Ticket Taker: No!
Stan: What do you mean no?
Ticket Taker: Terrance and Philip: Asses of Fire has been rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America, you have to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Stan: But why?
Ticket Taker: Because this movie has naughty language! Next please.
Cartman: Wow, I guess you can light a fart on fire, huh?
[During the Uncle Fucker song]
Phillip: Shut your fucking face, uncle fucker, you're a boner-biting-bastard, uncle fucker.
[Stan is staring at Wendy]
Cartman: Hey, you're holding up the god damn lunch line!
Stan: Hey, Mole. You know where the "clitoris" is?
The Mole: Ze what?
Stan: The "clitoris." I have to have to find the clitoris so I can get this Wendy girl to like me again.

Skip to comments.Obama: God wants Congress to pass my jobs bill
Posted on 11/02/2011 3:23:32 PM PDT by SeekAndFind
The president has no patience for the House of Representatives these days. Never mind that Republicans in the House have passed 15 different jobs bills or that the Republican Study Committee today unveiled a new job creation program. Did you hear they took time to pass a non-binding resolution to remind Americans of the nation's official motto? (That would be "In God We Trust," by the way.)
Don't mistake Barack Obama: He trusts in God. He just doesn't want the House to take a single minute to address any topic other than his jobs proposal. Why? Because that's what
he God wants.
The Washington Times reports:
Urging Congress again to pass a portion of his jobs bill, President Obama claimed Wednesday that God is on his side.
Mr. Obama was standing at the D.C. side of the Key Bridge, calling attention to Americas crumbling infrastructure and the need to put more construction workers back on the job. He criticized House Republicans for ignoring his legislation while approving a measure that reaffirms In God We Trust as the national motto.
Thats not putting people back to work, Mr. Obama said. I trust in God, but God wants to see us help ourselves by putting people back to work.
It's hard not to ever-so-slightly suspect that, in Obama's mind, God's will ought to conform to his and not the other way around … but I'm trying very hard to banish that suspicion. Humility might not be Obama's strong suit, but surely not even he is that arrogant.
At the daily press briefing, when a reporter asked Jay Carney whether Obama's invocation of God might not have been a bit much, the press secretary defended it with this: I believe the phrase from the Bible is 'The Lord helps those who help themselves.'" Not so, Mr. Carney, not so. Nowhere in the Bible does that adage make its appearance.
What's so disappointing about this entire episode is the way the one piece of feel-good bipartisan legislation to pass the House in ages has been drafted into the partisan circus of the president. Sure, electorally speaking, jobs legislation is more important even than any kind of faithful or patriotic display. But, spiritually speaking, it comes as a welcome relief to this American, at least, to remember that, while politicians repeatedly prove themselves unworthy of trust, the God of our fathers has always been and will always be trustworthy.
Did he produce any stone tablets to back it up or is he leading us around the wilderness for the hell of it?
I'm just shaking my head....He's crazy....
Which God he talking about?
God likes debt? The Bible has a lot to say about it being very dangerous.
Will the Dems and the media go after him for invoking the name of God?
So many questions.
Rock God Jallah wants us to pass his jobs bill (and wreck the infidel U.S. while we're at it).
RE: Did he produce any stone tablets to back it up
Yes he did. See this one minute clip here:
wonder how a secular wannabe moslem would know this?
"I give you these 10... these 5 Executive Orders"
Yes, I want you to pass Obama's jobs bill....
I don't if I'm reading The Onion or a straight news report anymore when it comes to Zero.
I don't "know".... *Bad keyboard, bad!*
I trust in God, but God wants to see us help ourselves by putting people back to work.
Where in the Bible can one find "God helps those who help themselves"?
His is not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Is this a joke LOL..seriously what the hell would a muslim marxist commie freak of nature like Obama know about God.

News Corp. 's annual shareholder meeting delivered another win for the Murdoch family, despite growing investor opposition to the family's control over the company.
All of the proposed directors were elected to the board, including Rupert Murdoch's sons Lachlan and James. Going into the meeting it was clear that the Murdochs wouldn't be forced to make changes because of their controlling votes, but many investors were hoping they'd bow to pressure for change. (Read More: News Corp. Braces for Backlash at Shareholder Meeting.)
Every motion opposing Murdoch's control was rejected. A campaign to separate the chairman and CEO role — both of which Rupert Murdoch currently holds — was unsuccessful. A number of investors criticized Murdoch on this point, including Julie Tanner, director of socially responsible investing at Christian Brothers Investment Services, who said the combined role creates a "conflict of interest."
Murdoch noted that a single chair-CEO structure is normal, saying that the company reviews its leadership structure annually. The company said that combining chairman and CEO roles ensures "strong and consistent leadership" of the company.
A motion to eliminate the company's two-tier voting structure was also unsuccessful. This structure perpetuates Murdoch control, since the family owns 12 percent of shares but controls 40 percent of the votes.
And the proposed compensation plan was approved. A representative from the California State Teachers' Retirement System urged that the dual-class structure be eliminated, but Murdoch argued that "the interests of the Murdoch family as a shareholder is the same as all shareholders."
Murdoch kicked off the meeting saying that News Corp. is "not a conventional company."
He addressed the phone hacking scandal, which he called the "mishaps" and "problems" at the U.K. papers, stressing that the company has implemented all sorts of new oversight and training. He focused on the strong performance of the stock — up some 45 percent since last year's meeting. (Read More: News Corp. Cuts Murdoch's Bonus, Citing Scandal.)
The company didn't reveal the breakdown of the votes, just saying that a "majority" had approved or rejected the proposals. We'll get an exact breakdown of the numbers — and the degree of shareholder opposition — when News Corp. files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which should happen soon.

Teaching students to use "fake money" that imitate real life scenarios of the stock market is what inspired Finance professor, Elisabeth Oltheten to spearhead a program that has captured the attention of students and teachers worldwide.
The University of Illinois Securities and Exchange Simulation, widely known as UISES, is an online course designed to help high school teachers incorporate stock market exchanges into their curriculum. Educating students about practical investment strategies in a risk free environment was a creative way to get students involved in market trading.
High schools in the C-U area were among the first to have access to the program. The course has been integrated in basic economic classes.
"We did an exercise where the students could buy and trade stock. It was an easy and efficient way to get them more involved in business and how the stock market functions," said Oltheten.
UISES is one of several programs that the Department of Finance that promotes financial literacy to enhance youths' knowledge about monitoring market trends.
According to Kevin Waspi, a finance instructor that joined forces with Oltheten in 1997; the program became a cornerstone in simplifying how investments are being taught.
"It was a natural growth process to see how this developed in a high school environment. We wanted to bring that same experience into college settings."
Finance 300 "Financial Markets" and Finance 361 "Investments" are classes in the College of Business where UISES is a requirement. Students are challenged to manage a $1 million portfolio with a hypothetical client while using an online brokerage account to buy and sell securities.
"Once you see your portfolio go up and down in value, you are driven to want to know more," said Oltheten.
Oltheten added that "things that were just pages on the internet start to have more meaning".
The Champaign Rotary Club is apart of an international business service that has partnered with the University to promote financial literacy at the high school level.
"When Elisabeth and I approached Rotary, they were aware of the program and thought it was a great opportunity to bring more Rotary involvement in the high schools; this was a way to publicize and populate it," said Waspi.
Towards the end of each semester the Club sponsors prizes that are awarded to high schools students each semester who achieve certain benchmarks for generating the highest rates of return.
Waspi and Oltheten are working to continue expanding the program. Both agree that empowering students to make smart and sound financial decisions for their futures' is the most rewarding.

This is exactly what I wanted to see. An episode focusing on family where the three generations could bond. Ohana has not only grown closer to her mother (who finally acted like a mother in this ep!), she's gotten closer to her grandmother as well. Pretty heartwarming.
In the end, Satsuki is definitely not a bad person, but she's certainly no angel either lol. We thought she used to be like Ohana when she was younger, but it wasn't really the case. She bullied her brohter constantly, doing things like forcing him to do her homework (even thought he's younger than her! Is he some sort of genius) and stealing his New Year's money. I think Tomoe's remark that this explains why he likes Takako was very insightful
Nako was, as always, a yuri magnet. Even Satsuki couldn't resist.
& YEEESSS! The Ko subplot is over, which marks the end of the first half of the series. I'm really glad Ohana went back to her regular lovable self. Conclusion of the first half: Kissuiso >>> Ko
And the good news don't stop here! Next week's episode will finally focus on Yuina! And it's the long awaited beach episode! My body is ready.

Tsukiyomi -Moon Phase-
saying goodbye doesn't make it that's he's rejected or anything but it's just goodbye for now because she loves living in Kissuiso. I can see Ko chan going to Kissuiso, and visit Ohana this time actually able to stay there in a later episode.

I feel like Ko is going to come in just when things between Tohru and Ohana start getting good to cause trouble...
Hopefully new OP next week, and I want to see Tohru's reaction to Ohana in a swimsuit pretty bad. <3

Keep in mind that the manager put the Kissuiso over her husband too. There's still a way for Ohana to be with Ko while still separated from him. While she said good-bye to Ko, she also said that she wouldn't give up on him either.
That just means that Ohana is putting Ko on hold for now... which she pretty much has been doing since the first episode.

Personally, I'm convinced this is it for Ko. Ohana took Ko's "see ya" as him dumping her. At the end of the episode, she decided to say "see ya" to Ko as well and thanked him for everything (<- you usually say this to people you're not planning to see again, and sure enough, Ohana has no intention of going back to Tokyo. She had to choose between her new home, Kissuiso, and Ko; she chose Kissuiso. Ko lost to an inn, which I guess is better than losing to another guy, in a way). This doesn't get any clearer than that. Ko has moved on from Ohana first. Now she has moved on for him. They then both lived happily ever after... with different partners.

In real life, Ko would have already been getting in on with that bookstore chick, but anime doesn't follow real life logic.

Amazing how well grandmother kept her dignity after drinking herself under the table. Japan seems too tolerant of drunkeness; Ohana was very funny though.
Ohana's accepted her situation with Ko and let him go his own way, but I wouldn't mind seeing the old boy make a comeback later. I do very much want Tohru to end up with Minchi, or at least progressing towards it by the end.

Whatever happens, of course, Ohana is the future Okami-san, for sure. Might her mother come back to take over the inn? I doubt it, but grandma's dream hinted at it. More hinting of opposites. Neat trick.
Anyway, I loved this episode. The fact that the ending gave the feel of a series end -- halfway through -- was also nice. And maybe, as people say, it's the end of her stage of incomplete commitment to the Inn (because of Kou). The Inn is her home now. I wonder what will happen next....
Sorry to spoil the party, but whatever happens, I would be very surprised if she ends up with Tohru. Largely because of her affection for Minchi, but also because I haven't seen the least hint of feeling toward him yet.

I suppose denial is a stage of grief: we see this with the shippers who keep on insisting there is still a chance left for Kou and we see this with Ohana: who's passiveness, inability to respond to Kou's feelings is the cause of the failed relationship and yet she managed to convince herself that she got dumped.
All sympathies I had for her are gone.

Oh, and let's not delude ourselves into thinking Ohana rejected Ko. It was the other way around from what I can tell. Ohana's simply chose to accept it and move on with her own life.
That being said, this was quite an amazing episode. It was heartwarming in every manner of speaking, and I have to admit at this point that I don't think Satsuki's as bad as I initially claimed. She has her downsides, like being a horrible mother for not caring about Ohana at all through her entire life, for being the type of person who doesn't think about what's truly right and wrong is works for money and nothing else, for being too flighty with guys and people in general, but she does have her good side. She gave good insight to how things could improve in the inn, and approved that Kissuiso is in fact a nice inn regardless and clearly has taken a liking to some of the people there (oh Nako-chi). It shows that she doesn't just care about herself, but knows how to read and understand people, after all. And tho I don't agree with her timing, she is showing sympathy towards Ohana now.
The family reunion was also excellently made. The discussion between Satsuki, Ohana and the granma, especially that part where Satsuki and her mom smiled at each other. Tho they have their differences, it shows that in the end, they can get along with each other but don't like to admit it (the way Ohana did admit she loves her mom, which I find admirable). Ohana's conversation with her granma was beautiful. It's the longest convo they've had together in the entire series, as pointed out by Ohana, which to me shows that they are getting closer, and Ohana's really showing a knack for knowing how to treat customers, which Satsuki probably picked up on as well when the deed was done.
All in all, it was a brilliant ep showing a family get-together that didn't turn out to be the bloodbath everyone thought it would be, and was really touching in the process.

Fight over towing of disabled cruise
A disabled cruise ship will spend an extra 10 to 12 hours at sea without electricity, air conditioning or toilet facilities because a French fishing vessel that was first to respond to the drifting cruiser refused to give way to faster tug boats, a Seychelles government official said Wednesday.
Joel Morgan told The Associated Press that the cruise ship Costa Allegra likely would have arrived in port Wednesday night local time if the tugs had been allowed to take over. Instead the ship is not scheduled to reach port until midmorning Thursday.
"The Seychelles authorities are not happy about this situation and we would have wished to get the ship into port as soon as possible in order to ensure the safety and well-being of the passengers," said Morgan, Seychelles minister of home affairs, environment, transport and energy.
Morgan said that when the Seychelles tugs met up with the Costa Allegra on Tuesday, a "conversation" took place to see the fishing vessel step aside and the faster tugs put in place. "The discussion went on for quite a while to no avail," he said.
Davide Barbano, a Costa spokesman, denied that the tow would have been faster with the two tugs.
"It was decided to continue with that (the fishing vessel) because it guaranteed the smoothest voyage for those on board," he said.
Morgan said the Seychelles is not happy that the financial objectives of the French vessel was put ahead of interests of the passengers.
The Genoa, Italy-based Costa said the cruise ship Allegra would arrive at about 9 a.m. local time Thursday-- three days after the ship lost power and began drifting in the Indian Ocean. However, the ship's estimated arrival at port has been pushed back repeatedly, and the spokeswoman for the Seychelles president said late Wednesday that the Costa may not arrive until noon local time.
The Allegra began drifting in the Indian Ocean after a fire broke out in its generator room on Monday. Italy's Coast Guard said that a team from the Infrastructure and Transport Ministry's investigative unit has traveled to the island of Mahe with the Italian Coast Guard to do "the first assessment" of how the fire started.
Cmdr. Filippo Marini, however, said it was not a full-fledged investigation.
"This is a first assessment," Marini said. "It is not an active investigation."
A representative of the cruise ship company Costa Crociere said Wednesday that an investigation needs to be carried out before a determination is made as to whether the fire was an accident or set deliberately. The official said that investigators from the International Maritime Authority could also investigate. The official said he was not authorized to be identified.
Barbano said that while the investigation is still under way "arson is very unlikely."

Commission on Teaching and Learning launched
Educators from across South Dakota came together last month to look at the best strategies to support students and teachers in the classroom. Participants gathered in Fort Pierre and via technology at an event hosted by the South Dakota Education Association.
At the conclusion of the summit, SDEA President Sandy Arseneault announced the formation of a Commission on Teaching and Learning, which is a partnership of SDEA, the Associated School Boards of South Dakota, the School Administrators of South Dakota, and the South Dakota Department of Education. Arseneault said the Commissions goal is to create a blueprint for quality instruction in South Dakota.
The commissions first task will be to continue the work begun this past summer to develop model teacher and principal evaluation systems that districts may choose to use.
Two work groups made significant progress this summer in developing evaluation systems that honor our teachers and principals as professionals and support them in their ongoing growth, said South Dakotas Secretary of Education Dr. Melody Schopp. This new Commission would answer some final questions and wrap up this important work. Ultimately, then, districts would have valid state-recommended models that they could choose to implement locally.
Both Arseneault and Schopp believe the collaborative effort will translate into positive things for students. Through the commission, I hope we create a foundation for all stakeholders to come together to support positive student outcomes, said Arseneault. If we stay focused on the students, I know the Commissions work will be valuable to our state.

Project Year2008
Text description provided by the architects. Following the success of the Hansjörg Göritz Architekturstudio in an international European competition of the year 2000, seven years of planning and implementation are now completed. Today the built exterior and interior spaces manifest not only his interpretation of democratic separation of powers within the Alamannic cultural region of the Alps' Rhine River valley. They also stand for a conscious understanding of an architecture of urban contiguity, whereby the original masterplan of Luigi Snozzi has been newly reinterpreted.
At the same time the pure and meticulous materialization of the new context rejects generic easy conventions, and strive for an architecture of space and timelessness. It is this very elementary and sustainably durable quality that makes use of non-renewable resources according to rigorous Minergy-Standards. In the plenum the sublime art of Sabine Laidig creates a synthesis with this space creation of simplicity.

Nuclear Plants
Output from U.S. nuclear plants today totaled 86,034 megawatts, or 84% of capacity, according to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission data compiled by Bloomberg. Production has fallen 10% from this year's high reached on Feb. 1.
A wet, windy storm may drop 4 to 6 inches (15 to 12 centimeters) of snow in Boston and 1 to 3 inches may accumulate in New York City after dark, according to the National Weather Service in Taunton, Massachusetts.
The outlook for the eastern third of the U.S. turned colder for March 12 through March 16 with below-normal temperatures spreading from the Midwest and into the mid-Atlantic states, according to MDA Weather Services. The Gaithersburg, Maryland- based company said a "much warmer pattern" is developing for the Midwest, East and South in the 11- to 15-day forecast.
About 50% of U.S. households use gas for heating, data show from the EIA, a unit of the Energy Department.
Cold March
A 30-day outlook published by MDA last week suggested that U.S. cumulative heating degree days, a measure of weather-driven gas demand, will rise to 655 in March, the most for the month since 1999, Teri Viswanath, director of commodities strategy at BNP Paribas SA in New York, said in an e-mail yesterday.
Viswanath expects gas inventories to drop to 1.92 trillion cubic feet at the end of March, when the heating season winds down, 5% lower than her previous estimate of 2.021 trillion. A widening year-over-year supply deficit will support cash-market prices, which may "prevent a seasonal selloff in futures," she said.
U.S. gas production in December fell for the first time in four months, capping the slowest annual growth rate in three years, according to the monthly EIA-914 report on Feb. 28. Output slipped 0.7% to 82.57 billion cubic feet a day as operators in Louisiana, Texas and the Gulf of Mexico shut wells. Production rose 0.6% from December 2011.
The boom in oil and natural gas output helped the U.S. meet 84% of its energy needs in the first 11 months of last year, government data show. If the trend continued through 2012, it will be the highest level of self-sufficiency since 1991.

Copyright And Protest: How Copyright Is Getting In The Way Of Thai Protests
from the copyright-and-expression dept
Since the beginning of the protests, a key symbol of the protesters has been the whistle. The earliest flash mobs of the protest involved a large group of people gathered in public space, who all blew whistles at the same time. Soon after, whistles were used against certain politicians, with protest leaders directing protesters to blow whistles at certain politicians (those they believed were corrupt). In short, the whistle has become the symbol of resistance for the protesters.
Bluesky Channel is the local cable TV channel which is closely associated with the protest and its leaders. It has been broadcasting from the front line of the protest from the very beginning. The channel's logo is a blue lighting bolt. When the protest had grown larger, both the leader and the Channel attempted to change the symbol of the protest from an ordinary whistle to a lightning-shaped whistle in particular. They eventually sold "official" lightning-shaped whistles to the protesters and claimed the revenue would help them finance the protests.
On January 15th, Bluesky finally had the protest guards confiscate unofficial lightning-shaped whistles sold in the protest area by the hawkers and proudly posted the "confiscated" stuff on its Facebook page with some statements that basically said: "If you sell it, we will confiscate it."
Others, however, say that even if the unofficial lightning-shaped whistles really infringe on Bluesky Channel's copyright, there shouldn't be any confiscation. Their argument is that Bluesky Channel's priority should be broadening the political alliance as widely as possible, not on selling merchandise for profit. Furthermore, there are some ironic comments that the protest itself played unlicensed music and many of the "Anonymous" Guy Fawkes masks used by protesters violated Time Warner's intellectual property. (This issue is quite complicated. The pro-government -- or pro-Thaksin, or pro-democracy as they call themselves -- groups always wear what they call "the Red Shirt." However, anti-Thaksin groups' symbols have changed over time. First, there was the Yellow Shirt, then the Multi-Colored Shirt, the Anonymous wearing Guy Fawkes mask and finally the Whistle as the latest incarnation. All these anti-Thaksin groups have different leaders, but they have roughly the same ideology, and the same goal of overthrowing everything related to Thaksin.)
It's unclear how a Thai court would react should this kind of copyright infringement case go on trial. Product design infringement cases are quite rare in Thailand. Thailand's Copyright Act is quite short and relies a lot on the courts' interpretation of the situation. Therefore, we do not even quite know what is really an infringement by any national legal standard.
Throughout this confiscation process, no actual police have been involved -- just the private protest guards. To some, this suggests that this kind of action is actually theft, which is surely a crime worse than copyright infringement by any international standard. Finally, it is totally understandable why the protesters did not call on the police to arrest those selling pirated whistles, because, as the protest went on, the protesters -- especially the guards -- showed a rather strong hostility toward the police and (not surprisingly) vice versa. In the end, however, there's an odd bit of copyright suddenly becoming an issue in the middle of large political protests.
The author, a copyright scholar in Thailand, has asked to remain anonymous, noting that with the current political climate in Thailand, using your real name in discussing anything related to the protests can be dangerous.

Nintendo has been a super power in gaming for many years. In most cases you can't consider yourself a true gamer without playing some of Nintendo's most renowned classics. Starting with the original Nintendo and working its way up to being the first company to release a next-gen consoles; Nintendo has come a long way. They have been a front runner in the gaming industry by having series that is so easy for people of all ages to love. This is the company that brought player Super Mario and Zelda; two games with some of the largest fan-bases out there. Anyone can sit around and say they are a fan of the company (who wouldn't be) but the people who are real fans might take their love for Nintendo to the next level. You know you're a Nintendo fan when…
Lol what about if you have looped a garden hose around your back to water the plants. Mario Sunshine anyone? hahahaha
You know you're a nintendo fan when you actually think it's a good idea to buy the WiiU for yourself when you have a 360, PS3, and a Vita.
You know you're a Nintendo fan when:
... opening your presents you belt out the Zelda chest jingle
... you have the urge to jump and grab every flagpole you see
... you laugh at the fanboys of today who don't realize what a true console war is
... you played Final Fantasy 6 when it was Final Fantasy 3
... you have named at least one of your pets "Yoshi"
... you are banned from your local petting zoo because you kept jumping on and kicking the turtles
.. you have the lung capacity of a BEAST after blowing into so many cartridges
... you have spent almost half the pocket money you ever received on batteries for your gameboy brick

As you approach Ten Bits Ranch Bed and Breakfast on a dusty road that bumps and swerves through slanted hills and cliffs, the beaten path tapers away and it becomes apparent that you're venturing into the remote badlands of the Chihuahuan Desert. Most signs of human development have already receded from the roadside as Texas 118 zips down from the relative metropolis of Alpine, leading to the Ten Bits turnoff.
For more information, visit the Ten Bits Ranch website.
The dirt road climbs a small hill as you encounter the ranch, a cluster of six buildings that owners Steve and Jennifer Wick constructed themselves at the foot of a jagged mountain. The Wicks designed the compound to look like an "Old West" town with a jail, schoolhouse, general store, and other buildings. It might sound hokey, but it actually fits in pretty well with the desert surroundings of rusty brown limestone cliffs and spires of igneous rock. A few miles to the west, with nothing but creosote bushes and yucca spikes obstructing the view, Egg Hen Mountain protrudes from the desert floor, capped by a triangular peak at 5,000 feet.
"It can be phenomenally quiet for people when they're not used to it," Jennifer says one morning during a breakfast of egg-and-sausage tacos in the Ten Bits cantina. "As a matter of fact, sometimes it's too quiet for people. I have to give them a bedside fan so they don't freak out because of the quiet."
But for the most part, visitors seek out Ten Bits Ranch because it's quiet, remote, and set among spectacular desert scenery—qualities that draw travelers to nearby Big Bend National Park, the town of Terlingua, Big Bend Ranch State Park, and the region in general.
Ten Bits also emphasizes the geology and ancient history of the area. Steve is a staff paleontologist at Big Bend National Park (the western entrance is a 20-minute drive away), and the Wicks' interest in fossils and the region's indigenous cultures is on display throughout the property. In the dining room, a replica of a mosasaur skeleton hangs from the ceiling and a display case houses crocodile, dinosaur, and shark-tooth fossils found on site. On weekends, Steve offers information-packed tours of the lodge's 500-acre property, which also hosts university geology classes and academic fossil digs. For visitors who want guidance on other regional activities, Jennifer coordinates 4x4 off-road tours for the company's sister business, Big Bend Expeditions, and helps steer guests to the attractions that suit them best.
Ten Bits is so isolated that standard utility service is impractical, and therefore the settlement runs on solar power (with a back-up gas generator), a 1,400-foot-deep water well, propane gas for heat, and a septic system for sewage. There is no cell phone service, no televisions or air-conditioning in the four guestrooms, and no FM or AM radio signal. (There is a wi-fi connection, if you must.)
On a visit last winter, tourists gathered around the Ten Bits picnic table to enjoy beers among the ocotillo, socialize, and gaze out on the panoramic desert vistas. There's a fire pit on site, but gusty winds discouraged a campfire. Instead, the group decided on a dinner trip to the Starlight Theatre Restaurant & Saloon in Terlingua, a 20-minute drive away.
The Starlight's exposed adobe walls, artistic Southwestern décor, and friendly vibe give the restaurant a timeless, almost magical feel. The cheeseburger topped with onions, jalapeños, and spicy Terlingua chili was equally as compelling.
The drive back to Ten Bits illustrated the beauty of the desert at night, as well as the difficulty of navigating the back roads in the dark. The moon was nearly full, but because of the darkness of the area, the stars still shone brilliantly. Depending on their orientation, the surrounding mountainsides either glowed in the moonlight or loomed as shadows, like black construction-paper cutouts against the horizon.
Ten Bits' one-room cabins provide a welcome respite for the night, with soft beds, tidy bathrooms, stucco walls, tile floors, and wood-paneled ceilings. Each cabin is decorated to reflect its Old West theme. The "gunsmith" shop, for example, has a leather saddle in the corner, and wall-mounts of antique firearms and sheriff's badges. As the winter wind howled and overnight temperatures dropped into the 30s, the gas log fireplace kept the room toasty warm.
To really see what the surrounding badlands have to offer, it's worth booking one of Steve's educational tours ($60). The three-hour Lost World Tour takes participants on a hike through the clay-shale hills that hide the fossils of dinosaurs, crocodiles, turtles, and other creatures that inhabited the area 75 million years ago when it was a swamp. Tourists get the chance to learn about professional paleontological practices and handle the fossils extracted on site. The tour lingers at the spot where Steve discovered a few bits of fossilized turtle shell about nine years ago, leading to an excavation and identification project that eventually determined the turtle to be a previously unknown genus and species—now named the "chupacabra chelys."
The tour also makes a short but steep hike to a Native American cliff dwelling in a limestone grotto facing the ranch. The site—perched above an indigenous pathway that was adapted over time into a mining road and is now a county road—was home to semi-nomadic people who traveled throughout the region.
"There are artifacts from this site that date back 5,000 years," Steve explains. "This was not a site that was used for 100 years, or maybe once or twice; it was used probably every year for millennia. And you're right on a major Indian pathway that takes you down to Terlingua Creek, one of the region's most reliable water sources."
Along the way, Steve points out arrowheads and flint chips indicating the Native American presence, as well as thick shards from colorful glass jugs that were discarded during the days of cinnabar mining at the turn of the 20th Century. When the hike reaches the cliff dwelling, Steve brings to life the hardscrabble existence of the natives, pointing out burned and broken rocks that could have been used for hot-rock cooking, a meat-smoking cave with a blackened ceiling, a pestle for grinding food, and a deep mortar in the grotto's floor.
"How many meals are represented by a six-inch diameter hole, ground a foot deep in solid bedrock?" Steve wonders aloud. "There are nine of these up here."
The view from the grotto stretches over desert mounds, mesas, and valleys to the Rio Grande and beyond. The Chisos Mountains of the national park are visible to the east, the Solitario formation of the state park to the west, and the sierras of Mexico to the south. Just overhead, a lechuguilla grows horizontally out of the limestone.
"The plants that grow out of the bedrock out here are stunning," Steve marvels. "Life finds a way."
