Kincaid's sequel to Insignia (2012) moves beyond derivative fun to real depth.
Ever-rebellious Tom Raines has advanced with his pals Vik and Wyatt to Middle Company at the Pentagonal Spire. They've reached the level where they need to cultivate corporate sponsors in order to join the elite virtual warriors who conduct the ongoing space-based war between the Russo-Chinese and Indo-American alliances for control of the moon. Tom may be preternaturally great at virtual-war skillz, but he is horrible at sucking up and almost immediately alienates every single multinational corporate head he needs to impress. Meanwhile, Tom continues to pursue his odd but intense secret relationship with crack Russo-Chinese combatant Medusa and begins to suspect that Yuri, their Russian friend at the Spire, whom Wyatt "unscrambled" in the first book, may not be as innocent as they had thought. Kincaid lays a lot down, twining her increasingly complex plot and characterizations with Tom's growing awareness of the poisonous "military-industrial-media complex." As Eisenhower feared, it has made war a way of life that enriches a very few and impoverishes the many—one corporate head has bought Yosemite as his own private playground, one of many unsubtle but all-too-plausible symbols Tom contemplates. Action fans, fear not: For all the deep thinking Tom and readers undertake, pace, adventure and fun are not compromised one whit.
A surprisingly and satisfyingly rich middle volume in a trilogy that exceeds popcorn expectations. (Science fiction. 13-16)

November 26, 2016: Daily Bible Reading Commentary for Acts 19-20
Click here for the reading
Commentary: Paul continues his second missionary journey, going on to Ephesus, and extremely wealthy and pagan city. Paul experiences great success, although not all were pleased with his teachings - especially those who made and sold false gods and items related to the false gods. Paul was successful in a pagan city, however, that does not mean that all will experience success in such areas. We must be spiritually prepared when ministering, as Satan does not like to surrender those he holds. As Paul prepares to leave, he provides instructions on leadership and encouragement to remain strong in the Lord.
Focus Verses: 20:17-24 Paul had already faced many trials in his life for Christ, and knew that he would face many more. Yet, he remained strong and faithful to the Lord. How? How do you remain strong and faithful for the Lord?

Hi Leon, Phil and Phil,Do we really need to take a truckload of hardware and the supporting Gigabytes of Bill Gates' or Linus Thorvalds' stuff (or possibly kilograms of apples) when going portable?
Why not really use FPGA, DSP circuit, DDS, a simple microprocessor, LCD and few pushbuttons to create a Firmware Defined Radio (FDR) instead of the SDR? I think, Gerald's innovating SDR-1000 and the related tedious software exercise after that has already very well demonstrated (and still continues to do) the feasibility of totally new radio architectures.
By the way, for practical reasons I very much second Phils' suggestion of supporting PCM4202 and TLV320AIC23B in the XYLO project (AK5394A would have been marginally better, but ...).
Many thanks to everybody for the great work, Ahti OH2RZ----- Original Message ----- From: "Leon Heller" <firstname.lastname@example.com>

It'll have the bare minimum on it, and consist of a small plug-in module (four-layer PCB), for use with a motherboard which will have the ADC mounted on it, and a socket for the SR V5. The motherboard may even be home-made, for prototyping, and for use with another ADC or radio front-end. I designed something like this a few years ago, with an Altera Flex 10K chip on it. It had a 64-way DIN41612 connector on it, to which I attached prototyping cards with things like a VGA interface, LED displays and pushbuttons. I even implemented a very simple CPU on it, based on one written in VHDL in Hamblen and Furman's book: Rapid Prototyping of Digital Systems. I did something similar with a Xilinx Spartan chip.

There are no economic reports for markets to obsess over Friday, though the double dip debate will no doubt continue as traders look ahead to next week.
Gold was one of just a few bright spots in a sea of red for commodities and equities. Treasurys saw buying, which pushed the 2-year yield to a record low of 0.475 percent, and the 10-year yield to a new 17-month low of 2.557 percent.
Stocks Thursday were rocked by disappointing data, overwhelming the positives from another flurry of merger news. Ahead of the opening bell, Intel announced it would buy McAfee for $7.68 billion. But a 500,000 print on jobless claims, the worst level since November, along with a surprise negative from the Philadelphia Fed sent stocks spiraling downhill.
The S&P 500 dipped below the important 1070 level but crept back to finish the day at 1075, still a decline of 1.7 percent. The Dow fell 144 points, or 1.3 percent to 10,271. At the low of the day, it was down 199 points. Traders said it was a slight positive that the market was able to claw back from its lows.
"It is a Friday in the summer, and you know what you can expect...not much, not much trading," said Bill Stone, chief investment strategist with PNC Wealth Management.
Stone said on Thursday, the Intel deal might otherwise have been a plus for stocks. "If you could get the macro numbers out of the way, you would have had a nice day if it weren't for claims and the Philly Fed laying an egg. The combo of those two outweighed everything else. It was like a one-two punch," he said.
Traders were already looking ahead to next week's jobless claims number, fearful it could show a fourth week of increases. There is also housing data, revised second quarter GDP, and durable goods orders next week.
On Thursday, the VIX, the CBOE's volatility index, jumped 7.5 percent to 26.44, as the stock market sold off. "The more we waiver below 1100 (on the S&P 500), or are unable to take out the 1100 level, there seems to be more aggressive volatility buyers out there on the possibility it could break down," said Dan Deming, who trades the VIX with Stutland Equities.
"Based on the fact that the futures on the VIX right now have been trading at a premium, and have for a couple of weeks, that hints that there could be rough waters ahead," he said. The VIX at 26 implies a 1.5 percent daily move in the S&P 500, in either direction.
The next stopping point on the downside for the S&P would be 1065, he said. "Any break below 1050, I would expect the VIX to be in the upper 30s," he said.
Soft Patch or Double Dip?
J.P. Morgan economists Thursday cut their growth forecast for the second half, shaving GDP to 1.5 percent for the third quarter, from 2.5, and 2 percent for the fourth quarter, from 3 percent. They also said unemployment could rise to 10 percent.
"Although we previously lowered the forecast for GDP growth for 2H10 in response to signs of softening around mid-year, the slowdown in hiring and spending over the past few months had been viewed as a temporary response to a series of shocks that would moderate over time. But the continued softness in July economic indicators along with the sharp rise in initial jobless claims this month suggests that weakness is intensifying rather than moderating," they wrote.
They also noted that the loss of momentum raises the risks of a prolonged soft patch and even another recession. They also expect the Fed will now undertake a larger quantitative easing program by the end of the year and expand its balance sheet through asset purchases.
Dan Greenhaus, chief economic strategist at Miller Tabak, said he expects the revision to second quarter GDP, reported next Friday, to show the economy grew at a paltry 1.3 percent. "Growth in the 1 to 2 percent range is very close to recession. It is not sufficient to affect the unemployment rate. It is not sufficient to generate meaningful income growth, and it's not sufficient to support consumption. It is very hard to envision a scenario where GDP stays at a level of 1 to 2 percent for long...the risk is to the downside from there, rather than the upside," he said.
Greenhaus said he expects second half growth of 2 to 2.5 percent, or less. "I don't think an outright contraction in GDP is the base case. I certainly think, as a long time bear, that the probability is a lot higher than people are suggesting," he said.
"The investing landscape over the next six months is going to be very difficult and investors have to be very particular in this type of environment. It's not that equities can't appreciate," he said.
Greenhaus charted the average move in the S&P 500 against GDP levels of up to 4 percent for the past 50 years. With the exceptions of some big outliers, weak GDP means weak stock appreciation. "In this low growth, modest S and P growth is likely," he said. (Editors: Please display Graphic 38776142 here)
Federated Investors market strategist Linda Duessel said stocks trade sideways to lower in a soft patch. "We think we'll stay in a sideways pattern for awhile. It's a tough question because the market expects QE 2 to come. It presumes we would get that and it would be a good thing," she said, adding the Fed would likely make its move either after a poor showing in the Sept. 3 employment report or after the November election.
She thinks the S&P could test 1020 or even 1000, but that the risk is to the upside for the market in the fall.

Foreign owners oppose relegation
League Managers' Association chief executive Richard Bevan has warned some foreign owners of Premier League clubs want to scrap relegation from the top flight.
With the number of foreign owners increasing in recent years, Bevan is concerned their growing numbers could see them succeed in forcing through a vote to abolish relegation and promotion.
Bevan is hoping that can be prevented by the recent parliamentary inquiry into football governance, which recommended the Football Association adopts a licensing system for clubs.
Speaking at the Professional Players Federation conference in London, Bevan said: "Because there are a number of overseas-owned clubs already talking about bringing about the avoidance of promotion and relegation in the Premier League. If we have four or five more new owners, that could happen.
"We're very keen that the recent DCMS report is successful in helping the FA get to a stage where they've got a licensing programme for clubs."
Relegation does not exist in some other sports and in some other nations. For instance, none of the major American sporting leagues use relegation, with fixed membership in Major League Baseball, the National Football League, the National Basketball Association and the minor leagues that serve as their feeder teams.
With the increasing number of American owners in the Premier League, it should come as no surprise that promotion and relegation could be under discussion.
Four of the five American ownership groups in the Premier League - those at Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa - also own sports teams competing in the American major leagues, and they are not used to the threat of relegation, and the huge financial losses that can follow.
Bevan added: "You'll find that with American owners and you'll find that with some of the Asian owners as well. If you look at sport all around the world and you look at sport owners trying to work out how to invest and make money, you'll find that most of them like the idea of franchises.
"If you take, particularly, American owners, without doubt there have been a number of them looking at possibly having more of a franchise situation. That would mean no promotion or relegation. That would obviously not be good news for English football.
"You need to make sure that the FA is strong enough to ensure that the principles on which our clubs are run, if I'm an owner coming in, I must recognise and embrace the history, the tradition, the supporters, the community, the philosophy of actually how this club should be operating and not deciding my club should be taken abroad or whatever.''
A formal licensing system would give the FA the power to prevent clubs operating in this country should they vote to abolish relegation and Bevan wants to see it come in.
''We want to see a more formalised licensing programme. It has to sit with the FA and, ultimately, it has to sit as well with FIFA and UEFA,'' he said. ''That has to be the pyramid and structure. The role that the FA play has to be a much stronger one than in the past. The RFU and the ECB and the FA are institutions. And institutions, when they're around successful businesspeople, often move a little bit slower. Government are important to help them.''
Even if a two thirds majority of Premier League clubs voted in favour of abolishing relegation, the move would still be unlikely to come about as the league's own rules dictate it would also require approval from the FA, which would expect to hear widespread opposition from the rest of the game.
The Premier League clubs have not formally discussed any such move since Bolton chairman Phil Gartside proposed his two-tiered structure two years ago, an idea soon dismissed and Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is leading the opposition to Bevan's claims.
''I don't see where the end product comes in,'' said the Scot. ''There are at least eight teams in the Championship at the moment with great history. What do you say to those eight teams, they can never play in the Premier League? You may as well lock the doors. It would be absolute suicide for the rest of the teams in the country, particularly the Championship.''
As Ferguson pointed out, if the axe fell now, two-time European Cup winners Nottingham Forest would be out, along with Leeds and both Sheffield clubs.
''All these great teams are the nucleus of the Premier League many years ago,'' he said. ''The only place you can make money and realise your ambition is the Premier League. You can't take that away from clubs.''

Political uncertainty has a direct impact on corporate investment, according to research by academics from London Business School and Sungkyunkwan University in Korea.
In their paper 'Political uncertainty and corporate investment cycles' Brandon Julio, an assistant professor of finance at LBS and Youngsuk Yook an assistant professor of finance at Sungkyunkwan say that even accounting for growth opportunities and economic conditions companies will reduce their investment expenditure by an average of 4.8 per cent during a national election year, compared with non-election years.
An election's outcome is relevant to corporate decisions say the authors because it will have implications for the regulation of industry, taxation and monetary and trade policy.
"If an election can potentially result in a bad outcome from a firm's perspective, the option value of waiting to invest increases and the firm may rationally delay investment until some or all of the policy uncertainty is resolved," say the writers.
Consequently, when a national election is pending companies tend to hesitate before committing to build factories or buy equipment when political outcomes are unclear. Politics really does have an impact on the investment decisions of companies say the writers.
● In recent years an ageing population, combined with advances in medicine has seen an increased demand for blood donations. But, with fewer than 10 per cent of the population donating blood in the US and Canada and even fewer in developing countries, shortages are the norm. Altruism alone it would seem is not sufficient to ensure that there is enough blood supply.
However, one solution might be to offer incentives such as T shirts or gift cards as a way to motivate people to give blood say researchers.
A study by a trio of academics has found that when a reward is offered to blood donors donations increase by 15 to 20 per cent. The study looked at figures from 14,000 blood drives that involved half a million donations both in the US and from a field experiment. The researchers found that when perks were on offer, such as T shirts, in some neighbourhoods but not in others, blood donors would travel to and give blood in those areas where they would receive an incentive, ignoring those neighbourhoods where no gifts were attached to the donation.
The study 'Will there be blood? Incentives and displacement effects in pro-social behavior' was carried out by Nicola Lacetera, an assistant professor of strategic management at the University of Toronto Rotman School of Management with Mario Macis, an assistant professor in the research track at Johns Hopkins University and Robert Slonim of the University of Sydney.
The paper is published in the American Economic Journal: Economic Policy

SARASOTA, Fla. -- What started as a promising career ended with a one-line note on the Orioles' information sheet yesterday.
Pete Stanicek, who once ranked ahead of Bill Ripken at second (( base and later was labeled the leftfielder of the future, has been released. A series of nagging injuries and minuscule batting averages finally caught up with the 27-year-old switch-hitter.
After signing as a ninth-round draft pick out of Stanford in 1985, Stanicek made a quick ascension through the Orioles' system. He hit .317 at Single A Hagerstown in 1986, then moved rapidly through the organization, arriving in Baltimore the following year and hitting .274 in 30 games.

Summary: Bright, spunky Heather Robbins has escaped her small hometown and is anxiously beginning her freshman year of college. Rising above her rocky childhood, she's found a place where good things are finally starting to happen: her own private apartment, refreshing college classes, and an intense attachment to a mysterious and rugged classmate, Nick Richards. But when her dreamy college life turns out to be nothing more than a wonderful dream while resting in a coma, questions threaten. Now, Heather must press forward to unlock the real past, and find the answers buried deep in her mind. What she unlocks instead is a roller coaster ride through flashbacks, embellished memories, and a whirlwind romance. And when it's all over and she comes face to face with the truth, will she lose everything she's fallen in love with?
"On occasion patients have dreams while in their coma. And you seem to be one of those special situations. These dreams can mix fantasy with reality, and memories of people and places sometimes jumble within these dreams."
In a PRS [Persistent Reflective State] coma the brain responds very differently than when it's in a typical coma. The first distinction has to do with memory.Unlike a common coma where the brain is stagnant, in PRS the brain works overtime, distinguished by overzealous brain activity [...] As it does so and the memories are called back to the surface, the mind begins to then live out those experiences, as if for the first time. To the mind, these prolonged dreams, 'reflections' as we call them, are current and real, as if living a life through the mind, but with experiences that have already occured in a person's life. As the mind sorts through memories and lives them out, sometimes it mixes people, places, and even adds imaginative experiences as it would in a typical dream, filling in parts that it cannot remember.

The Subtle Anti-Israeli Biases of an AP Reporter
Cross-posted at Mein BlogoVault.
I recently wrote a lengthy NewsBusters post on Syrian advocate Sami Moubayed and his forum at the Washington Post. My primary concern was the bias of the writer, which was decidedly from the standpoint of an advocate. My primary concern was the journalist description that the Post attached to Moubayeb, when Moubayebs own website identified him as an advocate for the Palestinian cause (among other things). I also clarified that I have no problem with the mans biases, as long as they are described or revealed as such. They werent, in that particular case.
I was directed by a reader to another such individual this time, an AP writer named Bassem Mroue. The writing he does for the AP has tinges of anti-American bias throughout (in this instance, for example.) Mroue's biases are even more pronounced at his blog.
I wonder if this graphic is more commonplace amongst AP and Reuters M.E. correspondents than we might think (also, a screenshot):
From another recent post on his blog entitled More Crimes Against Humanity :
In the southern village of Srifa 27 people were killed in the brutal bombardment by Israel, the country that American officials like to call the only democratic country in the Middle East. It is not surprising why the United States does not want to work for a cease fire because they want to give Israel more time to kill more Lebanese.I can't begin to tell you how inaccurate and one-sided that is. Here's a little bit from yesterday - compare his passage about Hezbullah to that of his pontifications about Israel:
On Hezbullah: On the political front, U.S. and European officials met in Rome but failed to call for a cease fire between Hezbollah and Israel. Hezbollah accused the United States of being behind the failure of the conference.No negative connotation. No condemnation of the terrorist group. Nothing. And now on Israeli action:
The violence will end the life or more and more people tomorrow and the days after now that the cease fire seem to be far.Notice the lack of condemnation or even a mention of Hezbullah's actions, except for an earlier repetition of "Arab news sources" reporting on a Hezbullah ambush on two Israeli units. Hezbullah, of course, touched off this current engagement by kidnapping two Israeli soldiers and killing a third (along with launching rockets into Israeli towns, targeting civilians). This doesn't even factor in the Palestinian rocket attacks that have been a near daily occurrence since Israel withdrew completely from Gaza last year.
Reports in Israeli newspapers are more and more mentioning that Israel is getting stuck in the Lebanese quagmire again and that the war was not well-planned. As days will pass there will be more opposition to the war in Israel.
A television report from a bunker in northern Israel showed a young women arguing with her mother. "Arabs want peace," she shouted.
Prime Minister Fuad Saniora said it during the news conference today that Arabs made it clear in the 2002 Arab summit in Beirut that they want peace.
All the people of this region have the right to live in peace. People are tired of war.
Now, it bears repeating that writers of all stripes are entitled to their opinions. This is not an indictment of the biases that the writer holds (with which I happen to disagree.) It is necessary, however, to note that this individual writes for the AP.
The AP provides much of the filler in every major, mid-sized and little paper in the country. They are published quickly, and in great abundance. It is easy, therefore, for the biases and slants of reporters and stringers to get lost in the great mélange of news stories minestroned together each day to compose the news cycle that most people see on television and read about in newspapers.
The problem arises when these people are called journalists. Judging from the writings on Mroues blog, he has some pretty pronounced biases - anti-Israel biases. He has been keeping tabs on the situation in Lebanon from Baghdad, and his most recent posts reveal his ongoing editorial assessment of the confluence of events in Lebanon. I suggest you give it a read, familiarize yourself with the reporter's name and watch out for his stories printed in papers or on the AP wires.
Nothing dangerous. Just biased.

With the increased activity, one might think options investors are betting the stock will push higher. But Najarian doesn't recommend investors get in at current levels.
On Wednesday, shares of the technology company fell to around $47 a share and looked as though it wanted to test the $45 level, said Najarian of optionMONSTER.com.

How in the world did the Ducks pull out a 2-1 overtime victory at Detroit in Game 5 of the NHL Western Conference finals?
The Red Wings played an outstanding game Sunday. Anyone who thinks Detroit is not up to the task of playing physical hockey might want to watch a replay of this game. The Red Wings initiated plenty of hitting, often knocking Ducks players off their skates while out-shooting the Ducks, 34-18, through three periods. The only thing Detroit did not do was put enough pucks past Ducks goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere, who finished with 36 saves while running his career playoff overtime record to 12-1, including 4-0 against the Red Wings. The Ducks needed every one of Giguere's saves, plus a fortunate bounce on Scott Niedermayer's tying goal with 47.3 seconds left in the third period, and a break that set up Teemu Selanne for the winning goal 11:57 into overtime. By no means did Detroit lose this game. The Ducks merely found a way to win, or steal, it. Still, thinking back to Game 1, the Red Wings pulled out a 2-1 victory on two goals that bounced off Ducks defenseman Francois Beauchemin and into the net. This time, Niedermayer's equalizer caromed off the stick of Detroit captain Nicklas Lidstrom and past goalie Dominik Hasek, and a turnover by Red Wings defenseman Andreas Lilja led to Selanne's winning goal. At this time of year, of course, all that counts is winning, however it is accomplished. Leading 3-2 in the series, the Ducks are obviously in an enviable position, with Game 6 Tuesday night at Honda Center. Just as the series wasn't over when the Ducks fell down two games to one, though, it's not over now, either. These are two very good hockey teams, even if they make each other look like something else from time to time. Let's just hope that whichever one ultimately prevails will have something left to throw at Ottawa in the Stanley Cup Finals.

A Virginia bill that would have clarified that franchisers are not the employers of their franchisees or their franchisee's employees fell one vote short of overcoming Governor Terry McAuliffe's veto. The bill was a challenge to the NLRB's 2015 Browning-Ferris decision, which held that a business may be a joint employer even where it exercises only indirect control over employees. Laws similar to the Virginia proposal have become law in Wisconsin, Texas, Louisiana, and Tennessee.
Tim Kaine's addition to the Democratic ticket has been the source of celebration and concern for some labor groups. The concern stems from Kaine's refusal, while Virginia's governor, to sign a letter circulated by the AFL-CIO that urged Congress to pass card check legislation that would repeal the requirement that representation elections be conducted by secret ballot. According to an aide, Kaine had previously supported such efforts.
The AFL-CIO plans what it deems its strongest-ever ground game for the upcoming presidential election. The union intends to focus on defeating the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and says that it will remain vigilant during the post-election lame duck session. Additionally, the AFL-CIO plans to mobilize female voters between now and the November presidential election. The union has pledged to advance a "women's economic agenda," which includes a focus on advancing wages.
Hillary Clinton continues to rack up the endorsements of labor unions. In August, the National Air Traffic Controllers Association and the Teamsters both endorsed Secretary Clinton. The Actor's Equity Association has also backed Clinton, marking the first time the union has endorsed a presidential candidate in its 103-year history.

Got permission and then you need to stop that!
So I got permission from security office a month or so ago, was there 3 or 4 times, security even drove by one time and had to see me. Now today went for a quick hunt, security stop and says I'm gonna have ask you to stop that, he said they stopped allowing it like a year or two ago, guess why, someone wasn't covering there holes. I questioned him, he said it depends who's on duty? Guess there's a lack of communication. Anyone have this happen to them?
Originally Posted by Flyingeagle View post"Security office" ? What type site was this ? Private? Public ? etc...
As for "someone wasn't covering holes" line: Don't be so quick to assume that's true. That's more-often-than-not just the "go-to" line to give out a scram. It doesn't mean there was necessarily a case of that. It's often just the mental image a busy-body has when they simply SEE an md'r. Whether or not the md'r actually left holes. Someone can merely assume you might. So later on, they just say "no because of holes" . WHETHER or not there were ever actually ever holes.
And the part about "depends who's on duty" is oh-so-right. And it applies to everywhere we detect. Hence far from being "cut and dried", it's often just a matter of arbitrary whim and mood. That's why I do not take an isolated fluke "scram" as constituting gospel law. Often-time it means "Just avoid that one person".

Even had times owner or their reprecentives came in anger. You know, with big steps and bad face trying to intimidate. And the harder they came to me the harder they were ashamed they judged me in all my innocence for that. Making it up by giving me permission again, offcourse, for ever, because i'm that neat and decent. I'm such a cuty.
At the end it even did good for me sometimes (or bad for those !@#$%, depending on how you look at it). Cause some didn't gave permission to anyone anymore, accept for me.
One requirement. You have to behave and be neat and decent. Have to clean up your sh*t to be reliable. "Look owner, can you point at any hole made by me?? You can see at my footsteps i walked overthere."

Little Busters - Episode 17 Discussion / Poll
Welcome to the discussion thread for Little Busters, Episode 17.
Thread Guidelines
Raw is out, cannot wait for the Subtitles! ^.^
Huuuuhhhh well,i won't bother to compare it to the VN anymore,it better for my mental health that way :heh:
Anyway,there still problem with pacing in this episode.
The part where Kanata walking in a very slow pace while talking to Riki at night look so awkward lol
And the switch end even faster than the bench....there should be some kind of record for this...
Conclusion : This ep left me hanging in a very weird way
Spoiler for Spoiler:
The pacing is a bit off with having some awkward "shortcuts" at time.
The execution was also on the weak side: granted, Suzuki's acting is still on the good range, but for some reason, Haruka's reactions are a bit... mild, whereas I was expecting Komari and Kud rushing towards her during the revelations.
Meanwhile, as I feared, some responses from the LB is a bit "unnatural" as they didn't have much interactions as a group, particularly Mio, Kyousuke and Kengo. These 3 hardly were with Haruka in the anime, so their devotion towards Haruka is bit too early. At least, it works a lil better than the game, as only Riki was present for Haruka, as the rest are basically written off from her route :heh:
On the other hand, I'm particularly relieved they didn't miss the point with Kanata and brought all the stuff needed for the proper idea of what she is doing, although the end was sort of... exaggeratedly done in a bad way :heh:
Ah right, that scene with Kanata was... borderline hilarious in regard of actual animation: it just looks like she was intentionally walking s-l-o-w-l-y to let Riki having his speech (despite it is unecessary considering the distance she has to cover). And speaking of distance, Kanata surely teleported at some point considering how the road looks far from where she was despite the initial talk with Riki after speaking with the Saigusa.
Wow that ending, Futaki really knows how to rub it in. Hopefully they can figure out a way to resolve it. Though just knowing who the real father is probably won't make a difference. Lol how the other 2 parents are nowhere to be found. Though my guess would be that Futaki is actually Saigusa's kid, rather than Haruka.
I'm surprised at how Masato and Kengo actually like Haruka. :twitch:
And yum, delicious product placement... gotta love "Yontory" whiskey.
Well, that is way off the rails from the original route now. The pacing feels very fast,but I think they've justified making this a friendship solidarity route better than say, the Komari route. I do think we need to judge Haruka's anime route on its on merits as a story by itself. There is certainly a clear, if rushed progression between Riki's speech with Kanata and the imposition scene. And I am getting shades of Midori's flirting with Kanata's as Haruka's flirting. I wonder, did the director or scriptwriter ever had a relationship with someone who also has an identical twin? Just joking.
And Kud is clearly terrified of Kanata now. I would hate to be in her position now, and I wonder how the secondary plot about Kud and Kanata's relationship would be resolved, if at all.
After playing the Rewrite VN, I decided to give the LB adaptation another shot. I should have crushed the little hope I had of the show before I decided to return to watching it. The current episode just took away any ounce of hope that I have left of any sort of positive turn around.
Now only has JC staff done a poor job of directing, they have done so in a way that is close to a disgrace of Key Shows. The powerful elements of the VN (and all other VN's by Key) is it's ability to effectively build up and deliver its emotional appeal as well as it's ability to heavily reinforce the main themes of the story. Each of the characters routes and the main route does this to some degree with the final route being a conglomerate of everything together and the process is carried out in stages as the reader plays the VN.
The current adaption has just completely screwed up at each stage. Anyways I don't really need to get in detail about the bad directing and anime quality, the anime speaks for itself. But the character development... SERIOUSLY starting with a weak introduction of the characters, the anime continues in its early episodes with even POORER character developments. (ONE OF THE STRENGTH AND SUCCESS OF KEY VNS IS ITS STRONG CHARACTERS DEVELOPMENT/UNIQUE PERSONALITIES.) The moe aspect of the VN as well as the comedy is meant AS a TOOL to instigate the readers interest and strengthen the appeal of various characters so as to connect with the audience and make the later emotional aspects be carried out with a bigger impact in each respective arcs. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE FOCUS OF THE COMMON ROUTE IN THE ANIME. But JC just gives little about any of that, and they are prioritized in using MOE/COMEDY in THE ENTERTAINMENT / FANSERVICE aspects of the show, not to mention they aren't even doing a good job in those areas. THEY DON'T SEEM TO REALIZE THAT THE REASON PEOPLE WATCH KEY ANIMES IS MAINLY FOR THE EMOTIONAL BUILD UP...There are 100324123X other animes that are comedy/fanservice that are much better than Key animes. Without a good common route, there are no character routes, since the drama just feels dulled and uninteresting, especially with everything condensed. Also the OSTs are very good, BUT THEY CANNOT REPLACE THE DRAMA...JUST BY PLAYING THEM OFTEN DOESN'T COVER UP SHIT DIRECTING. The emotional parts of the VN are far more than just the sound impact of the OSTS.
Moreover, I need to comment something about this episode the last episode that I will watch of this adaption. How is Haruka first wanting to cry alone and is someone with that much of a trama from her past + emotionally unstable able to perfectly and easily say in front of that many people everything about her past in a perfectly sane manner...and then have that quick of a recovery (from playing baseball...) and be that amazing in such a short period of time be able to face Saigusa Shou...? Not mention adding moe SHIT into THE emotional parts... This is an excellent job to make people feel emotional.
Riki: Nantekoto... (How could they do that/etc.)
Yeah, Nantekoto...
How could they not do a DNA test... (This happens in anime too many times...)
How could Saegusa-san say people are trying to drive her out of school when she was at fault for the troubles she caused... (Of course they are over-punishing her, but well, self-destruction)
They can't do a DNA test now because no one will agree to do it except Haruka. Not Kanata, not the three parents, only Haruka. I don't know why they didn't do a DNA test before though. It makes me wonder if they are truly twins from different parents.
So why did Kanata become shocked after Riki mentioned the cake from last time,why did she suddenly asked "do you like me?" in a sadistic way ? Why did they throw the mother and the other father out of the window ? The order is so messed up,I don't get it anymore :eyespin:
And they said in some magazine,Kud will play an important part in Haruka's arc so I can see where this is going.
They dont need to agree to a DNA test
just get some hair or something without them knowing
Evil and sadistic Kanata is a sexy Kanata. This bitch be fucked up in the head, I love it.
Hawt love triangle incoming! :p
Having never seen the VN of Little Busters, I don't know how much has actually been lost in adaptation, but I thought this episode still got key things across.
Is that whole thing about two sets of sperm resulting in twins with different fathers actually possible?
It's called Heteropaternal Superfecundation.
In the first place, Haruka doesn't have those kind of connections... and hair isn't the best option to accurately find out if someone is related by blood or not. The best option would be getting a DNA test using a blood sample directly from the person in question.
Well, I learned something today. I learned that twins can have different fathers. This episode prompted me to do a Google search on that, and sure enough, Haruka is correct in what she said there.
Dr. Casey's comment above left me puzzled, because I couldn't imagine more of last episode's Kanata coming across all that well. But yeah, Kanata is at least an entertaining antagonist now. :heh:
I have to admit that little acting performance and mischievous grin she put on at the end of the episode was one hell of a plot twist/cliffhanger. It certainly shocked me, and perked me up! It's good to know that Little Miss Fascist might actually not be a fascist after all, and may well be a much more interesting character once you get pass the public persona.
I like the idea of Kanata developing a crush on Riki, and trying to steal him away from Haruka. Although, I have to wonder if Kanata's acting performance says something a bit more fundamental about her character. I wonder if Kanata ironically envies Haruka, and wishes that she could live without the burdens of family responsibility as Haruka now appears to live. In other words, I wonder if Kanata wishes that she could be a fun-loving, easy-going member of the Little Busters like Haruka tends to be.
Mind you, at some level, that does seem a bit absurd to me. How could you envy a girl who went through the hell that Haruka did? Wow, the girl was viciously abused. This arc makes me wonder if there's even such a thing as child protection services in Japan. :heh: Not only that, but I hate it when one of the central conflicts in an anime narrative would have been solved by a simple DNA test. Does the Japanese culture have something against DNA tests?
I really feel sorry for Haruka. Her adoptive family was horribly abusive, her sister treats her with complete contempt, and her father is a deadbeat criminal. Wow, this girl needs all the help she can get! I find it rather refreshing to see a Key heroine have very practical problems rather than stuff like "I've spent years trying to get over my brother's death" and "My imaginary friend became REAL! And she's trying to replace me!".
But while I feel sorry for Haruka... Kanata playing Haruka is indeed a dream girl, lol. Kanata playing Haruka is like a girl with all of Haruka's strengths but few of her downsides. I could understand Riki feeling divided here.
With the conclusion of this episode, though, Kanata's acting every bit as chaotic as Haruka; in that scene she was no longer the Disciplinary Committee leader, but a whirlwind who acts based upon her whims and emotions. The girl has a lot of darkness inside her, that's for sure; though it's frequently joked how scary a person Anego is, she ain't got nothing on Kanata. I look forward next week to plunging ever deeper into the depths of Kanata's psyche and learning more about what a twisted, fucked up person she is.
And since they kicked out the other 2 parents, it is unlikely they would "lower" themselves into calling them back for checking it out.

Wow, we are sub .500 in November vs one of our easiest football schedules and our first 7 home game season going back to at least the 1970's. In 2013 (his first year here) Holtz was also 4-5 at this point and went on to lose the final three games. However, we only had 4 games in Ruston then and a "home game" in Dallas vs Army where we were drubbed 16-35.
We are 2-3 in Ruston in 2017 and looking at a 2-5 home record. Absolutely numbing results after all of the money poured into new facilities, record enrollment growth, season ticket and LTAC giving increases,...!

Listening as a leadership skillDad is really good at picking emotions and mood swings. He learnt to be a quick accurate judge because grandpa apparently had quick violent mood swings and you had to know when he was about to fly off the handle and when a joke would be safely laughed at.
For myself I think I've spent a relatively large amount of my childhood hanging out with adults who were discussing things like theology and proportionally small time learning how to competently catch a ball. I know the phrase "children are to be seen and not heard" but that was never the case for us growing up. I knew I could speak my piece and especially at the dinner table we all had our fair share to say, Even so with six people two ears and only one mouth means listen twice as much as you talk. So I think I'm fairly well positioned to give some points on how to listen to people, and thereby lead through manipulating the course of a conversation.
~In relation then to small group bible studies
Edit: I was trying to apply the KISS principle but this is turning into an essay, I'll try again.
Lead by example; everything happens for a reason; Listen and watch before acting;
Lead by example; everything happens for a reason; Listen and watch before acting;
- First you need to be present. You need to forget your past and not plan your future but concentrate solely on the present. Try to lead by example and stay on topic and make certain it looks like you are actively listening. If you daydream, or start reading ahead/ checking the time then everybody else will follow your example.
- Participate, listen actively. So that they know you have not fallen asleep
- Listen with your eyes too; somatic comms will give you a lot more information than verbal. You can only hear what somebody tells you. But somatically you should be able to see why they are talking in the first place.
- Surroundings, what's distracting them? Who do they not want to overhear their conversation. Is anybody tempering their language so as not to offend? Can you get away with polysyllabalistic esoteric spiritual jargon? Or will only half the group understand what is happening?
- Body language, it's a thing. See them, what do they see you doing? What about others nearby? Leaning forwards, fiddling, folded arms?
- Watch the watchers, how much are other people listening? Who is only listening and not talking? Should you direct conversation at them or allow them to be shy and comfortable?
- To steer the conversation passively talking is best. Don't speak if possible as you might dam the flow of conversation, it's better to be a pebble and change the flow. As a leader if you pay full attention to one person and they see you listening acutely to them. Then they are encouraged to continue and once others see this you make them the centre of attention.
- Give somebody permission to interrupt. When the speaker takes a breath at a full stop is the best time to switch to another person. As the audience listens they will form ideas and come up with something to say. Leave it too long and the thought is gone. Start too soon and the current speaker will feel disrespected. A listener will take a breath before beginning to speak, this is the time to give them your attention and switch the focus of the group.
- Be selectively rude and dismissive. Roll your eyes and sigh to move the conversation along. If the right person notices they will move the conversation back to the topic at hand. If people are distracted by their phones you can get yours out and hold it back to front and pretend to look at humorous cat pictures.
- Know the answer before you ask a question. Whenever a question is asked quickly guess three possible answers that might be given so that you can predict the flow of conversation.
Likely answers will be:
Short- one word answers slow the conversation but might be followed up by,
Long- detailed descriptions may be informative but could go off topic.
Attention seeking- if somebody always answers they may like the sound of their own voice and have not noticed that other people have opinions also.
- Names are powerful. I'm not so great at this but recall a person's name whenever they speak. And remember who they speak about, relatives, school friends parents. Chances are they will come up in conversation again later.
- Go off topic; While you are all supposedly gathered together for the same reason you never know what gems of insight will be found at the end of a monologue. Also no matter how important you think it is to follow the scrips and stay on schedule, somebody may have a burning question or a miserable day. Ubuntu is more important than ruthless rationality, people will bond best when sharing wounds.
- If you are not making any progress at all then you are on the wrong path be flexible enough to

A new playground in Johnston Square -- where there are precious few places for young children to play -- is reason enough for celebration. But the dedication this morning of a quarter-acre play area by Mayor Kurt Schmoke, Archbishop William Keeler and his predecessor, Archbishop William Borders, a statement to inner-city communities that Catholic schools are here to stay. The playground, connected to the St. James and John School, has been a joint effort of the city, the archdiocese, the school and the six inner city parishes that sponsor it.
St. James and John is one of two Catholic schools serving East Baltimore's lower income areas. Both schools lost their sponsoring parishes during the archdiocese's consolidation of urban churches three years ago, and since then the community has worried that the schools, too, will vanish. This $50,000 playground is reassurance that the archdiocese is determined not to abandon its educational mission in the inner city. Baltimore's Catholic schools -- which operate with a mere 1 percent drop-out rate and send 90 percent of their high school graduates on to college -- perform a special mission in lower income areas, where parents often work two or three jobs to afford their share of the tuition. (Many families receive financial aid, but nobody gets a full scholarship.)

So I hope he doesn't mind me sharing it with all of you. ** Gallery3D.apk ** In order to install it, follow these directions: - First download the .apk file to your Droid X (either by downloading it through your phone's browser or transferring it to the sdcard). - Then, go into Settings > Applications and check the box next to Unknown Sources at the top. - Once you've done that, go back to home, click on the App Drawer and choose Files (or Astro or any file manager that you've downloaded). Browse to where you put the .apk file. If you are using Files, choose Phone Files, and either open the download folder (if you downloaded it through your phone's browser) or find where you put the file on your sdcard. - Click on the Gallery3DMT.zip file. If you are using Files, it will ask you to extract the files into the current folder. Choose Yes and it will create a Gallery3DMT folder. Choose that folder and click on the Gallery3DMT.apk file. - It will ask you to install the file, so go ahead and choose Install. Once it's installed, click Open and you are good to go. It may require you to grant access to your Picasa albums. Hit the home button and if you see a triangle in your notification bar (up top), bring the bar down and click on the triangle. Then grant the application access to your albums. Now, open the Gallery application back up and you should see your Picasa albums start to appear. If you have a lot of different albums on your Picasa (as I do), then it may take awhile for it to detect them all. Sometimes I would have to move the screen back and forth for it to continue to download all my albums. It really is a much better application than the one that comes with the DX. One issue I did see is that the camera button in the Gallery3D app does not actually work correctly. It just sends you straight back to the gallery. X

Original synthesis procedure and route (used for large scale synthesis)
Exploiting the Differential Reactivities of Halogen Atoms: Development of a Scalable Route to IKK2 Inhibitor AZD3264, Pharmaceutical Development, AstraZeneca India Pvt. Ltd, Hebbal, OffBellary Road, Bangalore 560024, India, Org. Process Res. Dev.2014, 18, 646−651
Details of the publication here : http://newdrugapprovals.org/2015/05/15/azd-3264-an-ikk2-inhibitor-from-astra-zeneca/
The synthesis is already optimized (chosen route: scheme 4), but there are some drawbacks:
- The use of boronic derivatives, which are now classified as mutagen, if avoided, should be better.
- The isoxazole derivatives is expensive (1260 $/kg – molbase price)
- Cryogenic conditions to prepare the unstable boronic derivative 3 with n-Hexyl lithium.
- The process described in the patent for the compound 6 (an in house product) use a toxic reagent to prepare the 2-[(aminocarbonyl)amino] : chlorosulfonylisocyanate.
Alternate route proposal:
Cheaper starting materials (1336 $/kg less) but with 2 more steps (thiophene moiety excluded since this is an in-house product). This route avoids a cryogenic stage with n-Hexyl lithium (health and safety and plant capabilities considerations), and optionally avoids the use of boronic derivatives which are now classified as mutagenic.
Sum-up of the modifications:
Modification of the starting material with three possibilities, essentially to introduce the isoxazole moiety: According to some lectures about the VNS of H (reference mentioned later), it maybe possible to use 1-halo-2-nitrobenzene which is cheaper (27$/kg (Cl) 101$/kg (F) – molbase) and 3-chloropentane-2,4-dione (358$/kg), to take advantage of the nitro EWG behavior. It will be reduced later, followed by a diazotation and CuBr/KBr or KI dependently of the method, which will avoid a cryogenic step. Also, to go back to the original route, the diazonium salt could be reacted with B2(OH)4 which afford the boronic derivative (see reference later)
If doesn't work, 1-chloro-5-fluoro-2-nitrobenzene probably do, which is unfortunately more expensive than the trihalobenzene (675$/kg – molbase), but the exceeding price of 480$/kg should be absorbed by other starting materials, pentane-2,4-dione (110$/kg - molbase) and hydroxylamine sulfate (25$/kg - molbase).
6 is an in-house product, but to avoid the use of the toxic reagent, i will use in this proposal, the 2-amino-3-cyano-thiophene (450 $/kg – mol base), which is commercially available and treat it with CDI/formamide to obtain the 2-[(aminocarbonyl)amino].
Also if the original compound 6 is used, an exchange could be made with i-PrMgClBis[2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl] Ether Complexes, followed by a treatment with trimethylborate which lead to the boronic acid derivatives (see reference), instead of using the unstable aryl boronic derivative.

This is some personal works on paper only, i have no responsibility in any way if somebody would try this route and has all sort of troubles, including but not limited to: injuries and money loss. This is for experienced chemists only, and tests must be conducted in a suitable lab only.
But if my work is used to synthesize the targeted molecule described here, please, send a word, even if it fails, chemistry is always an experimental science. This will make me pleased, thank you.

This weekend, I walked around the house like a ghost. I tried to read; tried to write… But I just couldn't settle. For the first time since moving house, I was lonely, teary and fidgety.
I couldn't work out why I was feeling so miserable. Generally, I'm comfortable in my own skin; content with my own company. Yet the feeling of loss escalated until I was like a cat on a hot tin roof. To take my mind off it, I set out for the Classic Cinema mid-afternoon to catch a movie.
I went on my own which I'll admit; I force myself to do on occasion. I think it's supposed to empower me. It doesn't work. Mostly, I hover in a corner until I can slink into the theatre and sit in the darkness but even then, I'm waiting for someone to look up, point and yell 'lonely loser alert!!!'. I can almost picture it; as I drag my carcass out of the theatre, hunching my shoulders against the barrage of abuse and possibly rotten vegetables thrown by the villagers.
As it happens, there was no villager riots and the movie was a rather amusing vampire comedy that did dull the sensation of 'blues cloak' that I had previously worn. The blessed relief of laughter did not last. As the credits rolled I was already leaving the theatre and I realised that I'd embarked upon a rather large outing without actually speaking to another living soul. Hell, I purchased the ticket online and had to do no more than push my phone towards the ticket checker and may have offered them a nod or a brief smile, but certainly no conversation.
By Sunday morning, the roller coaster was zooming down to a full on panic attack or a desire to throw myself down the stairs. Instead, I threw on some runners and walked. By the time I got home I realised that this was my own fault. Somewhat stupidly, I had opened the door and let the Squeeze back in…
We are mature adults. Best friends – or at least we were. Why couldn't we be again..? And when the door opened a crack, it creaked open further and further until our email exchange became of flood of flirty 'carry on' down and dirty emails - of around one hundred for the week. That didn't count the skype messages or text messages or sitting at my dining table and laughing our heads off like old times. Even as I drifted into an exhausted sleep on Friday night, he was still sending emails.
The conversations had been growing over the last month or so; now it had reached avalanche proportions. What this meant to me of course was that the budding romance had died a death and we could be friends again. I didn't think he would suddenly develop a dose of humanity or an ability to love or that we would skip into the sunset to live happily ever after; but somewhat stupidly, I did think that maybe, there was a chance we could be friends again.
On Saturday morning, all contact stopped. I finally sent an email on Monday evening to say "are you dead..?" It took four direct emails before I pushed through his evasive avoidance of my dating question and I finally sent a single line to say 'are you dating???' Frankly, between work and our comms avalanche, I couldn't see where he would find the time. Then I got back: "I am seeing someone, I told you that.."
WTF? What had the last week or so been about then..?
Seriously, I knew he was weak, but I didn't figure him for a player. Good luck to her is all I can say because the life she has signed up for is even uglier than the one I had! At least I had fidelity!
So he selfishly coaxed me away from a path of change and like a fool, I allowed it. All to make himself feel good - and screw the fact the in taking his 'upper', he plunged me into despair! Obviously the poor woman that took my place is seeing the relationship for what it is (keep a measure of delusion that he can change) and kicked him to the kerb for a week. I was the bandaide to help his poor battered ego. What a selfish Dick!
Well I won't let that happen again. He is dead to me. No… We can't be friends. We will never be friends again because friends don't use and abuse friendships like that. Friends don't hurt you. Mess with your heart and mind.
And me..? I am catching up with the cute builder tonight for dinner. I'm spending the weekend down the coast. I signed up for life drawing classes that start in October (nude male model if you don't mind) and this morning, I was up and jogging at 6am.
No time for tears; because as we all know:
I did toss up using this one; because I did love Glee when Cory was there :'(
But in all honesty.... it's a wanky song :)
