Last month I took a trip to Cincinnati to visit my family, do some shopping and go to the Ohio Renaissance Festival. I also was able to convince my husband to take a detour to Rising Sun so that I could do a little bit of research.
We spent some time copying family files at the Ohio County Museum. I was able to find a few obituaries that I didn't have before. We also stopped at the Ohio County Public Library so that I could search for the obituary of my brick wall ancestor, Joseph Hillis. Unfortunately, there was only a death notice and I still have no clue who his parents were or where he was born.
One of the obituaries I found at the museum was for my second great grandmother, Susan "Susie" Sanders. My grandma had told me the story of how her grandmother had died after her apron caught on fire when they were living in Hamilton, Ohio. I had found her death certificate that stated her cause of death as "shock following extensive burns over body and head from gas stove."
What I never realized was how horrifying the story actually was. Below is a transcription of the newspaper clipping found in the Bascom family file at the Ohio County Museum:
Susie Sanders Bascom Meets Tragic Death at Hamilton, O.
Death Caused by Burns Sustained In Her Home - Funeral at Mt. Carmel.
Mrs. Susie Sanders Bascom, wife of W. T. ("Dora") Bascom, died in Mercy
hospital at Hamilton, O., Sunday morning from the effects of burns sustained at
her home in that city on Saturday afternoon. The Bascoms formerly lived in this
Mrs. Bascom was alone when the accident took place. She was burning some
light fruit containers in a coal stove in her living room, and her apron caught
fire from the stove's open door. Her son George occupied an apartment on the
second floor and Mrs. Bascom ran up the stairway, screaming for help. Her
daughter-in-law (Mary Starkey) and the latter's two-year-old daughter were alone
in the apartment.
The daughter-in-law states that the flames were surging about Mrs. Bascom's
head when she reached the second floor. The younger woman had all she could do
to keep her babe from danger, as it made every effort to go to its grandmother.
The women made their way to the first floor and a man who heard their screams
rushed into the house. He seized a rug and wrapped it around Mrs. Bascom, whose
clothing was then almost entirely burned from her body.
Patrolmen who rushed to the scene called an ambulance and Mrs. Bascom was
wrapped in a blanket and taken to the hospital, her daughter-in-law remaining at
her side.
Mr. Bascom was at his grocery store a few blocks from his home at the time.
Word came to him that his home was on fire. Upon his arrival home he was well
nigh crazed from the shock when he learned the facts.
When she arrived at the hospital Mrs. Bascom was able to explain just how her
clothing caught fire. With her charactistic [sic] thoughtfulness for others, she
explained to attendants where her husband would find what she had prepared for
the evening meal. Soon she sank into a stupor and was not conscious again.
A funeral service was held at the home on Monday and in Mt. Carmel church on
Tuesday, the Rev. John Dennis being in charge of both. The body was brought from
Hamilton to Mt. Carmel on Tuesday. Burial was made in the Bovard cemetery.
Mrs. Bascom was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Sanders, deceased, who
lived near Aberdeen. She leaves her husband and two sons, all of Hamilton, and
two sisters, Mrs. Harry M. Stow and Mrs. Elmer Ford, of near Enterprise and also
a brother, Walter Sanders, of near Aberdeen. Mrs. Bascom was fifty-six years
Mrs. Bascom was well known throughout this section. Her girlhood years were
spend near Aberdeen. It was in the school in that village that she received her
eduction under the guidance of Eugene LaSeur, deceased, and other capable
Since her marriage she had lived in this county, at Dillsboro and at Aurora,
later removing to Ohio. Some few years since Mr. and Mrs. Bascom lived on the
Sparks farm, just north of this city, on the Aurora road.
Wherever she lived, Mrs. Bascom was highly esteemed by her neighbors because
of her many good qualities.
Her record as a wife, a mother and a friend was one which is well worthy of
I told my grandma about this find and for the first time she was interested in a part of my genealogy research. She was under 3 years old when her grandmother died and doesn't remember the details. (It was her aunt and uncle that lived with her grandparents.) I look forward to sharing this find with her.

Saying 'the fire has burnt out " New York-based middleweight John Duddy, 31, announced his shocking retirement from professional boxing.
The Derry man's dramatic announcement came just prior to a HBO televised match with fellow Irishman Andy Lee that was supposed to take place at Foxwood's casino in Connecticut in March that would have paid him in excess of $100,000.
The fight was scheduled to take place on the undercard of the Sergio Martinez versus Serhiy Dzinziruk bout on March 12, and was due to be televised live by HBO.
It is believed that Duddy will now pursue an acting career full-time. Duddy will star next month in the Atlantic Theater's new production of a play directed by Dubliner Jimmy Smallhorne in New York called Kid Shamrock and he also has a bit part in the new FX series, Lights Out.
The statement released by Duddy on Tuesday said, "After a great deal of soul-searching, I have decided to retire from boxing.
"In many ways, continuing to fight would be the easy course of action. I have been offered the opportunity to fight Andy Lee on HBO for a purse in excess of $100,000. A win would put me in position to fight for a world championship. This is not an opportunity that I cast aside lightly.
"For more than 20 years, I loved being a boxer. I still feel that it's an enormous honor to be a boxer. But I don't love it anymore.
"I no longer have the enthusiasm and willingness to make the sacrifices that are necessary to honor the craft of prizefighting. I used to love going to the gym. Now it's a chore. I wish I still had the hunger, but I don't. The fire has burned out. And I know myself well enough to know that it won't return.
"It would be unfair to my fans, my trainer and manager, and everyone else involved in the promotion of my fights for me to continue boxing when I know that my heart isn't in it. I've always given 100% in the gym and in my fights. I have too much respect for boxing and the people around me to continue fighting when I know that I can't do that anymore.
"I haven't accomplished everything that I wanted to achieve in boxing. But I've had a rewarding career. I've enjoyed the satisfaction of winning 29 professional fights and learned lessons from my two losses.
"I look forward to finding future challenges that bring as much passion and joy into my life as boxing has over the past twenty years.
"I give you my word. I will not come back."
Lee was last in action on October 2 when he TKO'ed Troy Lowry (27-11) in round four of their contest. Since then a rematch with Vera was touted for February 4, but then Lee was a name mentioned in connection with a title fight with WBC champion Martinez.
When that title fight fell through, Lee was given a spot on the undercard.
Duddy was last in action on June 26 when he lost a unanimous decision to Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. at Cowboys Stadium.

Here is a roundup of which first-round draft prospects the Ravens are linked to in 2013 NFL mock drafts.
--- ESPN's Todd McShay predicts that the Ravens will select Louisiana Tech wide receiver Quinton Patton.
"This was a tough one to project. The Ravens could go with ILB Kevin Minter to replace the retired Ray Lewis, or with a safety like Matt Elam, D.J. Swearinger or John Cyprien to fill the void left by Ed Reed's departure," he wrote. "There are a lot of options, but I like Patton's ability to step into the role previously filled by Anquan Boldin. He's not a carbon copy of Boldin, but Patton is a little faster and more athletic, and could be a reliable complement to No. 1 receiver Torrey Smith. Baltimore finally got its passing game firing on all cylinders last season with QB Joe Flacco distributing the ball all over the field, and bringing in another possession-type receiver makes some sense. If not, a nose tackle like Alabama's Jesse Williams could be on the radar."
--- In his latest mock draft, Peter Schrager of FOX Sports has the Ravens taking LSU linebacker Kevin Minter with the 32nd pick.
"The Ravens' defense will look different in 2013, with new additions like Elvis Dumervil, Marcus Spears, and Chris Canty joining the 2012 Super Bowl winners," Schrager wrote. "I don't believe Manti Te'o is worthy of a first-round pick, but I like Minter. A lot. I'm not a huge fan of drafting middle linebackers in the first round, but Minter brings the goods -- and though he will never be Ray Lewis (or even Dannell Ellerbe) -- he can start right away and make plays for the defending champions."
--- Russ Lande of National Football Post thinks they will take Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o at the end of the first round.
"This one almost seems too easy as the Ravens have to find two inside linebackers after losing Ray Lewis to retirement and Dannell Ellerbe in free agency," Lande wrote. "Although Te'o may not be a premier athlete, he is a good athlete who will be a productive player and excellent leader for the Ravens."
--- Bucky Brooks of NFL.com also has the Ravens taking Te'o.
"The Ravens are in desperate need of linebackers after Ray Lewis' retirement and Dannell Ellerbe's surprise departure," Brooks wrote. "Te'o is a tenacious tackle-to-tackle defender with the savvy and moxie to step in as a first-year starter."
--- Don Banks of Sports Illustrated also has the Ravens taking an inside linebacker, but it is Georgia's Alec Ogletree.
"The Ravens have never been wary of prospects with maturity issues, believing their locker room has the veteran leadership to keep the youngsters in line. Will that still be the verdict with Ray Lewis retired? I suspect so," he wrote. "Ogletree is simply too athletic and too talented to not make the first round, and Baltimore's need at inside linebacker is great with both Lewis and Dannell Ellerbe having moved on."
--- Walter Cherepinsky of Walter Football projects California wide receiver Keenan Allen to the Ravens in his latest mock.
"This pick is all about figuring out which player will fall to the Ravens," he wrote. "Ozzie Newsome frequently scoops up plummeting prospects, and there's no reason to believe that this year will be any different. The tumbling prospect could easily be Keenan Allen because he's injured and hasn't been able to work out. Allen makes a ton of sense for the Ravens. He would fill the void created by the Anquan Boldin trade to the 49ers."
--- Rob Rang of CBS Sports predicts that the Ravens will draft Syracuse offensive tackle/guard Justin Pugh.
"The play of veteran left tackle Bryant McKinnie played a critical role in Baltimore's Super Bowl run but the Ravens are not willing to break the bank to guarantee the 10-year veteran returns," he wrote. "Pugh has shorter arms that scouts would prefer at left tackle but the 6-5, 307-pounder has the footwork and experience there to plug and play."
--- Josh Norris of NFL.com is another NFL draft analyst who believes the Ravens will wind up with Minter.
"GM Ozzie Newsome highly values the middle section of his defense," he wrote. "After losing both inside linebackers, Minter would offer consistency at one of those spots."

As part of its F-Type launch program, Jaguar took a number of its heritage cars to the 2013 Mille Miglia "race" and invited a number of stars and celebrities to drive.
Conducted on public roads, the event is no longer a serious race but more of a 1000-mile tour in celebration of what was regarded as 'The World's Most Beautiful Race'.
The short video highlights the three Jaguar XK120 cars as well as the driver pairings that included Daniel Day Lewis and Jim Gianopulos, David Gandy partnering Yasmin Le Bon plus Sir Chris Hoy and Andy Wallace.
The cavalcade of Jaguar Heritage Racing cars also comprised three C-Type sports cars, driven by people like Chris Harris, Salvatore Ferragamo Jr and Michael Quinn - the grandson of Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons.
The Jaguars joined more than 400 classic race and road cars in the Mille Miglia - a record number of entries and were accompanied by five new Jaguar F-Types that followed them throughout the Italian countryside.

'Dancing with the Stars' Standout Jaleel White Slams Reports of Abuse By Ex-Girlfriend
'Dancing with the Stars' contestant Jaleel White, who once played nerdy Steve Urkel on the sitcom 'Family Matters,' is dealing with some rather sticky family matters of his own after his ex-girlfriend went public with allegations that the actor was once abusive to her.
White, though, isn't taking the matter lying down.
Bridget Hardy, who's the mother of White's young daughter, told Star magazine that Jaleel was "verbally and physically" abusive two years ago — claims he says were "swiftly dismissed" by authorities at the time.
In a statement to E! News, White said, "The allegations made against me back in 2010 have suspiciously resurfaced in time to coincide with my new show on Syfy and 'Dancing With the Stars' … Bridget Hardy has consistently shown a knack for timing throughout our child custody disputes."
His rep says he hasn't physically seen Hardy in six months and only communicates with her by email, and White adds he's "co-parented in peace and compliance with the law for over two years now."
He goes on to describe some of the circumstances of the former couple's tumultuous relationship, which seemed to sour when Hardy tried to move his daughter to another state.
"Ms. Hardy's attempts at greater sums of money above and beyond child support have continued now for two years," he says, adding, "I guess my most recent successes have been too much for her to stomach. I'm assuming I have not received her votes these past Monday nights."
In conclusion, he said, "I ask for your sensitivity during this time. I can assure all of my fans this is only residue from a child custody matter."

NASA Shares Earth's Nighttime Glamour Shots
Dec 6, 2012 4:28 PM PT
In 1972, we marveled at the beauty of our planet in a photo taken by the crew of Apollo 17 on its way to the moon. Dubbed the "Blue Marble," the iconic image depicted a blue-and-white globe floating in the blackness of space. On Thursday, we were treated to a different view of Island Earth, one with the undeniable stamp of humanity on it.
The NASA-NOAA photo was also more difficult to create than the one snapped by the astronauts. The photo and an accompanying animation are composites from data gathered by a satellite operated by the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership over nine days in April and 13 days in October.
The photos are available for viewing and download at NASA's Earth at Night 2012 page.
To get a clear shot of every parcel of land on the planet's surface, the satellite had to circle the earth 312 times and collect 2.5TB of data.
Clouds Get In The Way
Composite photography is used to create a cloud-free view of the Earth, explained Chris Elvidge, a physical scientist at the NOAA who has been studying day-night band data for more than 20 years.
"There are always clouds in any image that you collect over the earth. There are very few areas that are cloud-free," he told TechNewsWorld. "We have a cloud detection algorithm, and we combined that with low-light imaging so over time we can accumulate enough cloud-free images to make a seamless mosaic that is a cloud-free view of the Earth at night," he observed.
Elvidge's group has been working on producing night photos of the Earth since 1994, but the tools used to create this latest batch of night images have allowed the scientists to hugely improve on past efforts with better spatial resolution and dynamic range.
The new instrumentation is so sensitive that it will detect terrain features on nights where there is no moonlight present, Elvidge explained. Because the new tools are an order of magnitude stronger than the old ones, they're detecting terrain illuminated by "sky glow."
Humanity's Footprint
Sky glow is created by a chemical reaction in the upper atmosphere that's faintly visible at night. "Sky glow is much, much dimmer than moonlight," Elvidge said. "How to filter out features lit by sky glow will be one of our biggest challenges as we go forward to improve our products."
The military has been taking photos of the Earth at night for some time now, but this is the first time this quality of data has been available to civilians, according to Steve Miller, a senior research scientist and deputy director at the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) at Colorado State University.
Nighttime photos offer a wealth of information unavailable in photos taken during daylight hours.
"What we're seeing here is the human footprint on the nighttime side," he told TechNewsWorld. "We're seeing centers of population. We're seeing how these areas correlate to economic activity, fossil fuel emissions, light pollution and emerging demographics."
In daylilght, "there are only a few things in terms of man-made items that you can bring out," he said. "We can see quite a bit more in terms of human activity at night."
Research Avenues Opened
When NASA releases the data behind the Black Marble photos, it will be a boon for researchers, according to Erle C. Ellis, associate professor for geography and environmental systems at the 00000University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
"It's a breakthrough for us," he told TechNewsWorld. "The nighttime products we have are pretty poor quality compared to this new one. There's no real way to observe human activity from space. You can only see secondary effects. For example, if a forest disappears, you don't know if someone cut it down or it burned down."
Because the data behind these photos is of a higher quality than has been available in the past, it will be easier to unravel the sources of light in the photos, he added. That will create a mine of riches for researchers.
"You can bet they'll be a lot of research projects built on this," he said.

After watching the first episode I thought it was excellent. I can't comment on the story as I haven't read any of the manga, but I love the animation. I understand that people have strong feelings about the character designs, but I found the pacing, use of bold flat colors and subtle jump frames rather interesting. The animation director is obviously quite skilled. There were a few glitches but overall I enjoyed this first episode more than the previous manifestation.
7 out of 10
I'm looking forward to the rest of the season. Maybe they'll have a real ending this time.

So yeah...I skipped around the first two or three episodes of the original, maybe watching 5 mins (give or take) of each episode before I gave up on the series totally...so your statement of me seeing nothing of the original is not too far off, I probably didn't watch enough of it to cover one full episode.
By the way, love the Shaft image Catgirls.

Maybe being familiar with the characters is why that scene is so annoying to some people. It would seem half-hearted or something, giving a minor glimpse of everyone for no particular reason. As someone who has no idea who anyone is or why I should care, I found it a great for introducing the class itself as its own character. It's trying to show the spirit of the class a whole, not trying to introduce the characters individually. I'm sure the relevant people will get development as they become relevant, and everyone else will fall to the sidelines, but we'll still be left with this interesting impression of the class itself.
PS: The class as a whole seems defined by its variety, which is why it's meaningful to give everyone a line.

It's true that a line or two won't give substance to a character and their personality, but how can you do so when there's 31 people in that class and less than 23 minutes in the episode? I mean, even the manga hasn't gotten to the point where they've fleshed out all the characters yet (to the best of my recollection). It was a little lame, but the purpose of the introductions were simple that; an introduction. Just as you thought it was a waste of time and crap, I think of it as merely a way to reveal the class to the audience (those who have not read the manga or watched the "original" series) and to put a name to each face, even though the names probably won't stick for a while for those viewers. If you take it in that context, it's still crap and pointless in the long run, but it accomplishes what it was meant to do.
Of course I could be over-reaching and giving credit where credit isn't due, but I just don't think that the introductions were as hugely craptastic as you [seemingly] do.
Add-on: D'oh! Bahamut89 beat me to it.

While the graphic qualities has definately gone up, I'm afraid that this episode hasn't left a very good impression with me.
First off, the characters are... umm... "Utena-ish". And when I say that, I mean the OVA, not the TV Series. Hard-line characters don't look very good and that's especially when you could see it in certain angle of Asuna's face.
Second... Omg. They killed Takamichi. His voice completely doesn't work, and while they got the attitude right... ya, he looks like an older Archer.
It's good that they got right on to the vampire chase, though they lose out on the chance to develop Konoha and Asuna better. A fair enough trade-off, I guess.
Overall an improvement from That-Which-Does-Not-Exist, but even as a stand alone, the only thing that's keeping my attention is the Maho Sentai Baka Rangers!

I really like the thought of that character introduction scene as a way to introduce the class as a character, rather than just mini-intros of the characters. Each of the students were talking to each other so you saw how they interacted together, not just in isolation. It was very much a class.

<lol> the "first day new employee" feeling is a metaphor I used a page or two back. I was just trying to imagine watching it on japan tv without the ability to step or freeze frame (like more of the new target audience will be like). <shrug> we've talked this aspect to death... overall I'm pretty excited about the style and direction this is going and can't wait for episode 2.

But you're assuming that the target audience had no prior warning. Maybe, there was some warning with the CMs promoting this show. People do have Tivo, VCRs, etc to record it with and YouTube to view it on also.

I have seen episode 2 yesterday, and it's a real pleasure to see the works of a director who knows his job.
Out of curiosity, all the people here who criticize this second season really prefer the first one ?

I massively prefer this retelling over the first "that we shall not speak of" attempt. But I don't think it is "perfect" and there's nothing like "backseat driving" to annoy and entertain until the next episode is released. If all I can really nit about is the "speedreading" introduction of characters --- then I'd say it went really well. The interesting thing to me is how they're *still* hitting the main plot points so far... just in a novel way.
I'll just refer everyone to the "fish dance ritual" of episode one of the first series.... my gods that was awful.

Two things I've observed after watchng the second episode. First, this series seems to be poking fun at the previous anime adaptation. The voice over announcer is a prime example of that whose tone of attitude is so familiar in parodies. I just couldn't help but laugh at the way he was describing in the first episode as to why Negi, a 10-year-old, has to go to undertake a teaching position in a all-girl school who are also older than him. Then, the dialogue filled opening theme "song" in the 2nd episode where a lot of those dialogues are remniscient of the previous adaptation. I mean, a lot of us have already observed as to how strange and unusual the opening theme song is, but I wonder how many actually have paid attention to those random (seemingly) dialogues. I still need the subs to understand them fully, nontheless, found them pretty amusing from as much as I understood.
The second thing I noticed is that Evangeline was the main attraction for both of these episodes. Does this mean the central theme (vampire) of this series would follow suit of Shinbo's other delicious work, TMP (Tsukyomi Moon Phase)? The uncanny familiarity between the series seems to indicate as such which only makes me happy. Having a main theme is a good thing too because, in my humble opinion, the first adaptation failed due to the lack of focus to any theme.
Episode two was more entertaining for me because it was more amusing. I was rolling when Negi summoned a pot right above Asuna's head in his second try of elaborate magic spell so he could wipe out her memory to preseve his secret.
P.S. I realize the above observations are already made by other fans in form of specualtion. Naturally, I was really excited to be able to see and recognize what those folks were talking about for the first time, and just had to let you know.

Is H1 is useful For keyword ranking?
Plz give your suggestions.
It helps a little when it comes to keyword ranking. Some folks put exact match keyword on the H1 for the belief that it will carry a huge chunk in their on page process, but it won't. H1 is a small part of on page optimization that needs to be supported by other methods of optimizing a site.
Yes H1 tags do have a significant importance in google crawling but its just a small part of On page Optimization SEO.
It just a small part of SEO on-page activity and has a big role. If your have targeted the keyword in URL and in H1 surely that will effect you in your ranking.
H1 tag has its own priority for a website than other H2 to H6 tag, so when we are putting our main keyword in the H1 tag then yes the value of that keyword will increased.
H1 tag is used for highlighting main keyword in eye of Google.It helps little bit in ranking also because it tells the Google that its main keyword of the site.
Yes H1 tag is useful for ranking and we all know very well that h1 to h6 tags is very important for ranking.
Header tags are mainly used to highlight your website targeted keywords. It is one of the important parts of ON page optimization SEO. If you put H1 tag on your website targeted keywords then Google will give more priority to those keywords in ranking. These tags.
Mainly H1 Tag is used for displaying the Heading Text of our website and it is very useful for keyword ranking in the google.
You can use all H tags from H1 to H6 all play a important role in ranking.
Yes it helps to know how important the keyword is and also to rank the keyword in the search results.
Ya its help to know how important the the keyword is and also to rank the keyword in the search results.
We've not forget that H1 tag is a part of on-page optimization. It has little worth on ranking that's another thing. Even though we've to put weight over it because if you're content is rich in quality, there might be a chance to improve your ranking through keyword targeted H1 tag.

Heinz Field - 1:00 PM EST
The Steelers and 49ers meet this Sunday at Heinz field. Both teams come into the game with a loss of either of their records. If the Steelers can win, which more than likely they will, they can start the season 3-0 for the first time since Bill Cowher's inagrual season in 1992. Hopefully, this becomes the first of many records and firsts that Tomlin can achieve as the Steelers head coach.
Both teams like to the run ball. Gore finished last year with almost 1700 yards rushing. Thus far this season he has averaged a dainty 68 yards per game, and need I remind any of you that the Steelers haven't allowed a rusher to get 100 yards since November of 2005! The 49ers have had problems moving the ball through the air, they are ranked 31st in the league and for the season their average is below a 100 yards per game. Combined with an awesome Steelers run stopping D and now one of the elite secondaries in the league San Fransisco doesn't really have a chance unless they can get a call in to Belichick before gameday!
The Steelers pack a powerful running game as well, more so than the 49ers of course, but they have always been known to jam the ball down your throat and ask questions later. The surprise this year has been the play of Big Ben. Last year after his first two games he had 0 TD's and 5 INT's... this year after two games 5 TD's 1 INT and of those 5 TD's 3 of them have been to the TE's which goes to show the Steelers have finally decided to use the TE after blowing smoke up our asses for so many years! The big surprise though is Spaeth who has 2 of those TD's, but may be sidelined for the San Fran game.
So what it all comes down to is the 49ers need to find a way to break down the Steelers defense which neither the Browns or Bills have been able to do. As long as the Steelers can eliminate the turnovers, which they've done thus far this season, and capitalize of turnovers caused by the defense then we should expect another 20 point victory!!!
Join us this Sunday... here in the gameday thread as we talk about the game and cheer our Steelers to a victory!!!!

I think the new "Red" eyed Tenshi is basically all of Kanade's habored hatred for the SSS (when Kanade suppressed her emotions)
And if what I am thinking is true, then Otonashi will get this member into his harem as well making twin routes possible. Although I wish they still went with a twin tail Tenshi...

Looking at that scene again, its hard to see anything other than special effects there.
As for why there is another all of a sudden, most are right in assuming its because Kanade got to close to everyone id imagine.
But as far as there just being another, Id guess that we will get an explanation in a week or two. Its probably going to get a bit scifi-y though.

I don't really see why people are trying to make more out of this then necessary. Kanade clearly used Harmonics to save the SSS from being fish food. She didn't say "Guard Skill: Harmonics", but her Harmoniclone didn't need to say anything to activate dual Hand Sonics either.
The only real questions are:
1) Why did it go Rogue/What caused it to go Rogue?
2) Is it supposed to dissipate into thin air, and if not why didn't Kanade realize she hadn't reabsorbed the Harmoniclone?
3) Why Kanade felt the need to use Harmonics if it was untested and/or incomlete when she could've probably gotten adequate propulsion using Guard Skill: Delay.

I've got two theories on the Evil Tenshi, both revolving around Harmonics.
One: Kanade panicked. Forgetting they would revive after X period of time (albeit, I'm not sure if being digested would still permit revival), she used Harmonics, a technique still unperfected and under-tested, to help eliminate the threat. An offshoot of this theory can be that she wanted to impress them, and didn't panic, instead using her heroism to improve her standing among her new friends.
Two: Still viewing the SSS as enemies, she split into two, so that she could keep an eye on them while dealing with Yuri seperately, the only one who still completely untrusted her. Harmonics was actually a perfected move and the ability to form it as an evil split was something she was aware of.
I'm more partial to One, and there are some discrepancies with Two (such as why she didn't just let the fish eat them), but it's a possible enemy Tenshi path.
I do have another theory, ignoring Harmonics though.
The being Tachibana Kanade is a special being entered into the afterlife by some greater observing being (God?). The point to her existence is to regulate the flow of humans through the afterlife. However, given the power to self-evolve, she begins to stray from her intended path, and so the greater being adds another one of her, this time with more focus on her mission.
I really don't like this though, since it ruins a happy end for Kanade, and sounds pretty cheesy.

EDIT: Sarcasm directed at there being two people in the second image, the other speculation is a possibility.

I mean when from the looks of her flashback she didn't even know what a computer was before she died .
So to me feels like both of you just want to come up with a reason to blame Yurippe for this, and make her out to be the villain . Also we saw what they were doing on her computer the whole time, and Christ didn't really seem to modify anything then.

Kanade's Harmonic twin sister malfunctioning sounds the most plausible at the moment to me. It explains:
- Why she's never used it before (because it's still being tested / is incomplete)
- A logical beginning to the crisis (during the fish thing)
- Whatever the hell happened with the Harmonics clone when the anime never showed it again afterwards (it went rogue)
- Where Yuri ran off to, according to this post:

And, maybe you're trying to make Yuri appear like a saint. . No, we haven't saw what they did completely, we only saw them browse through Guard skills, and copy bar. And knowing Yuri's personality, why WOULDN'T she modify/sabotage it?

It has been a busy month for early childhood educators and professionals; Week of the Young Child was observed across the country from April 14-20.
It has been a busy month for early childhood educators and professionals.
Week of the Young Child was observed across the country from April 14-20. This annual celebration is sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. This year's theme was Early Years Are Learning Years.
The Week of the Young Child educates the public about the needs of young children and their families. It also spotlights early childhood programs and services that meet those needs. Story times were featured at many childcare providers, learning centers and pre-K programs. At Pocono Services for Families and Children, several guest/celebrity readers visited our classrooms, including staff from local PNC Bank branches and Retired and Senior Volunteer Program members along with our Pocono Services for Families and Children Board President Stephen Cunningham.
State representatives Mario Scavello and Rosemary Brown read books to the children, as did Grace Marks, a legislative aide to Senators Pat Browne and Dave Argall. Preschoolers love to have visitors and to hear new story books.
PSFC's fifth annual Art Museum Night was also held last week at Northampton Community College's Tannersville campus. Open to the public, this family event featured hands-on, interactive art activities, story times and pottery making.
The focus on young children continued with the annual ECE Action Day in Harrisburg on April 23. Early childhood education supporters and advocates from throughout the state gathered in the capital for an afternoon rally. They also met lawmakers, urging them to invest more in early care and education.
Anyone concerned about young children and their future can make a difference by writing to their state representative and senator, urging them to make early childhood education a priority in Pennsylvania's annual budget. Gov. Tom Corbett's proposed budget for fiscal year 2013-14 does recommend increases.
Advocates can be parents, grandparents, other family members and the general community, as well as professionals. Research shows every dollar invested in early childhood education gives a return of $7. And these investments give our children a brighter future and more chances of success in school and in life.
Another way to make a difference is to visit www.papromiseforchildren.com. This web site offers many ideas for helping preschoolers learn at home and at school. Fun activities are featured and it has ways to get involved in your community. Information on selecting a quality child care/learning program is included as well. Visitors to the website can sign the PA Promise for Children declaration, which shows their support of early education and the importance of our youngsters.
Of course, we can celebrate our children every day and every month, not just during April. Start by reading a book or taking a nature walk with a child this month.
Chris Grape-Garvey is the representative in Monroe County for LEARN (Local Education and Resource Network) and the community resources coordinator for Pocono Services for Families and Children. PSFC's mission is to provide resources for the evolving needs of community children and families, in support of efforts to achieve their goals. It is accredited by NAEYC and is a Keystone Star 4 accredited program.

Warehouse recruitment agency listing
Warehouse operatives are responsible for the movement and administration of goods around a warehouse.
There are no formal entry requirements but the range of opportunities increases for those with experience of operating work vehicles, such as forklift trucks. Other key skills are attention to detail, teamwork, good administration and IT skills and a strong work ethic. Warehouse work is labour intensive and physically demanding due to the lifting required so a good level of fitness is important. Holding a full UK driving licence is advantageous as potential workplaces are often remote.
Warehouse operative jobs can be found all over the UK, with a significant number of short-term employment opportunities available through recruitment agencies at short notice, as well as permanent positions. Shift working patterns are common, including nights.
Jobs are often advertised and paid for at hourly rates, starting from minimum wage. Pay increases with experience and warehouse operatives who take on responsibility for staff as a team leader or warehouse manager could find themselves earning up to £30,000.
Recruitment agencies specialising in industrial employment are a good source of vacancies, as are job centres and local newspapers.
Press "Search Agencies" when your new query is ready.

Published at Saturday, 07 April 2018. Fishing Reels. By Rubina Sibilla.
Degrease Stiff Reels. If you purchased a new fishing reel and found it a little stiff when casting take it apart and see if you need to remove some of the grease on the gears. Old reels work better too if you clean out gummed-up grease and replace it with a fresh coating of light lubricant. A solvent like Ardent Reel Kleen or isopropyl rubbing alcohol works great to loosen up all grease. A Q-Tip or soft cloth can be used for application.
Egg Carton Parts Holder. If you′re the handyman type who can dismantle your own reel for maintenance here′s a tip you can use. Save an empty egg carton or three and number each compartment. Then when as you′re taking your reel apart place each part in a separate compartment of the egg carton(s) as you go along putting part 1 in compartment 1 part 2 in compartment 2 and so on. When reassembling the reel you can pick up the parts in reverse order and get everything back together right. Of course it′s also a good idea to save and file the schematics that come with the reels you buy and use them when you′re doing reel maintenance. That′s the best way to know what goes where.
Line Replacement. When should you replace old line with new? There′s no set answer to that question but certainly you′ll want to replace it after any long taxing encounter with a hard-fighting fish which can compromise the properties of the line. I also replace mine after extended fishing time in waters with lots of rocks snags and other debris that can cause nicks and abrasions. And of course it′s time for more line whenever the amount on the spool gets too small due to changing lures losing baits to snags cutting off line because of "twisties" and so forth.

"THANKSGIVING IS indeed the nearest thing we have to a national liturgy. From sea to shining sea, it calls forth a grand harmony of groaning boards .... Yet, what must we think of a nation that, as the central motif of this gustatory concerto, insists upon a bird that has a name used chiefly as an insult!"
So pontificated Episcopal theologian Robert Farrar Capon way back in the 1980s when he was writing of Thanksgiving for the New York Times.
The dear old turkey has suffered the slings and arrows of many attackers, yet if the big bird is simply roasted properly, according to excellent recipes (and there are millions of them) the dish can be quite tasty bearing no resemblance to the horrible processed "turkey" we get offered every day in delicatessen sandwiches.
|AT any rate, people go on trying to let turkey-eating get out of control to make Thanksgiving "special" because they eat about 46,000,000 million turkeys each November. And approximately 80% or 31.2 million Americans travel by car, 4.7 million by plane, 33 million by train or bus for this holiday in order to get with family, hated in-laws, deserted cousins and dear friends. And along with turkeys, Americans also celebrate at this time the lowly cranberry, which is one of the rare fruits native to North America.
He noted that "other holidays are ... vacancies in time ... Thanksgiving, by contrast, has not only a common theme but a common ritual as well ... Thanksgiving is better even than Hanukkah, Christmas, Passover or Easter. Those festivities, while they involve unifying activities, are enjoyable chiefly in anticipation. The feasts themselves are letdowns. Advent, for instance, is fun: it has in Christmas, a future that brightens each dark December day. When Dec. 25 finally rolls around, it is simply a present with no future whatsoever to look forward to. Thanksgiving, however, has Advent, Hanukkah and Christmas waiting to burst upon us the minute the dishwasher is loaded."
|I RATHER admire writer Bryan Miller's defense of the turkey. He says the bird "deserves respect for tradition's sake," noting that "more than any other food, it embodies the early American spirit; tireless effort against depressing odds, spiritual sustenance, season renewal." And, he adds the reminder that turkeys are close to red meat in protein content but only about 11 % fat, even less if the skin is not included. A serving has about 9 grams of fat and that is unsaturated.
So, chow down, you food purists!
|SETIMENTALISTS believe the first Thanksgiving occurred about 1621 when early settlers shared a feast with native Indians. (I rather imagine they were more worried about the natives eating them than in what they had to eat with the natives.)
It wasn't until back in the 1820's that President Abraham Lincoln declared a Thursday in November "a national day of Thanksgiving." But it was the poetic magazine writer Sarah Josepha Hale who badgered and prodded throughout the 19th century for there to be a real Thanksgiving Day as a national holiday. (This woman also wrote "Mary Had a Little Lamb.")
Congress didn't really act on her suggestion until 1941, while it was busy with World War II.
|I LOVE Thanksgiving because it's the one holiday one doesn't have to worry about proper gift-giving. You can offer to bring or make dessert, or grab a bottle of champagne, a bouquet of flowers, a box of candy and everybody thinks you're a prince.
I am happy that most of my friends have very good cooks, or they are very good cooks. They follow directions that make their turkeys come out perfectly. Add gravy, which I can make with one hand tied behind my back, and stuffing of almost any variety, plus cranberries — Viola! Perfection!
And what about the next day? Turkey with cranberry sauce, mayonnaise on white bread, whole wheat or rye. This is truly the reason to observe Thanksgiving. And I do mean — the day after!
We have much to be thankful for even in perilous times and so I wish you a very happy Thanksgiving and all the best part of the turkey. (I love the Pope's nose myself!) Thank heaven Ben Franklin didn't get his wish of making the turkey the national bird.
We'd be eating eagle!

McGinn testifies in own defense
Assistant U.S. Attorney set to cross-examine embattled Albany broker Tuesday in Utica
UTICA — As he testified in his own defense Monday at his securities fraud trial, embattled Albany broker Timothy M. McGinn said repeatedly that he is "not guilty" of the charges leveled against him by the federal government.
McGinn, 64, testified for more than five hours as he detailed his former brokerage's operations and gave his version of the circumstances behind numerous deals that are at the center of a 30-count indictment charging him with conspiracy, wire fraud and tax evasion.
McGinn explained that he and his partner and co-defendent, David L. Smith, never intentionally defrauded any clients, only took loans that they were entitled to receive and that he had paid or intended to pay all taxes owed to the state and federal government.
"Did you or Mr. Smith at any time conspire to commit mail or wire fraud?" asked McGinn's attorney, E. Stewart Jones. "Absolutely not," McGinn answered.
McGinn said repeatedly that the investment deals the government alleges fell apart due to fraud, and left hundreds of investors cut off from their money, had only collapsed after federal regulators shut down the Albany brokerage, McGinn, Smith & Co., in April 2010. That's when the brokerage's accounts were frozen and all assets seized by a federal receiver.
"With respect to each of these transactions, Mr. McGinn ... was it your intent ... and was it your goal, that they succeed?" Jones asked. "Yes," McGinn said.
The trial, entering its fourth week, has brought testimony from federal agents, financial regulators, investors who have lost money, and former business associates of McGinn and Smith.
The two men are accused of raiding investor accounts and using those funds to pay for unauthorized business and personal expenses, including home mortgages and golf club memberships. They're also accused of creating back-dated promissory notes to make it appear that hundreds of thousands of dollars they received were loans rather than fees.
McGinn is scheduled to be cross-examined Tuesday by assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Coombe. Smith is scheduled to testify next and closing arguments could take place later this week before the case is turned over to the jury.
McGinn said he and Smith had devised a plan to salvage numerous investor accounts that went sour when the economy spiraled in 2008. Their business largely recruited investors for deals that funded business ventures by cable and alarm companies. The business began unraveling when some of those companies, including a luxury cruise line, were unable to meet their obligations to repay loans.
McGinn said he helped draft a letter to the investors whose repayments could not be met.
"We obviously wanted to convey the message ... that there was a rescue plan, that we were not abandoning these investors," McGinn said.
On the back-dated loan documents, McGinn testified that the documents were improperly cast by an attorney and should have been made clear they were re-created because the original loan documents could not be located. He said there was no effort to deceive regulators and the loans, which he said they were entitled to receive, would have been repaid with interest by last year.
"Did you ever consider it anything but a loan to you?" Jones asked. "No," McGinn said, looking only occasionally at jurors when he gave his responses.
Jones also asked McGinn about conversations he had with a former business partner, Matthew Rogers, who pleaded guilty to tax charges and agreed to cooperate with federal prosecutors. The conversations, which took place beginning in 2010, were secretly taped by Rogers as he wore a recording device or taped conference calls with McGinn at the direction of Internal Revenue Service agents.
Jones asked McGinn if the recordings had revealed McGinn describing the loans "as anything but a loan?"
"No, quite the contrary," McGinn said.

HOUSTON (AP) Scott Feldman didn't get frustrated after allowing six hits in the first three innings Sunday.
He kept attacking, and it paid off.
Feldman scattered eight hits in his first complete game in nearly a year, Chris Carter and Matt Dominguez each had two RBIs, and the Houston Astros beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-1 on Sunday.
Feldman (5-8) retired 17 of the last 19 batters, including nine straight at one point, and won for the first time since June 29. It was his first complete game since Sept. 6, 2013, against the White Sox.
''I was just trying to battle through it,'' Feldman said. ''Once I got that double play with the bases loaded in the third, I felt like I got into a better groove.''
Houston manager Bo Porter said Feldman was outstanding and looked like he did in April, when he went 2-1 with 1.69 ERA.
''The cutter was really working. He was able to get in on the lefties and just had that late life to his fastball,'' Porter said. ''He was sinking it away and did a really good job today.''
Carter's two-run single in the third gave the Astros the lead.
''I was thinking to get a ball up there in the zone and put it in play and not strike out there with the bases loaded,'' Carter said.
Dominguez had an RBI single as part of a three-run fourth and added a sacrifice fly in the fifth.
Dominguez, Jon Singleton and Jake Marisnick each had two hits as Houston won its fifth in the last seven games and third straight against Toronto.
Marcus Stroman (7-3) allowed five runs on seven hits in three-plus innings. He had allowed one run in 21 innings over his last three starts.
''I just didn't have my stuff,'' Stroman said. ''I had trouble putting guys away. It was just a tough one, but I'm not discouraged.''
Dominguez and Marisnick hit RBI singles in the fourth to chase Stroman. Robbie Grossman drew a bases-loaded walk off Todd Redmond later in the fourth to make it 5-1.
Jose Reyes had three hits for Toronto. He remained in the game after sliding head first into second in the first inning and appearing to hurt his right shoulder on the play.
Ryan Goins' RBI single in the second put Toronto up 1-0.
''We've been playing good baseball,'' Toronto manager John Gibbons said. ''The last three games didn't go our way, and we got outplayed, pure and simple.''
Blue Jays: Toronto is off Monday before returning home to start a three-game series against division rival Baltimore on Tuesday. Lefty Mark Buehrle (11-7, 3.11) will start Tuesday for the Blue Jays.
Astros: Houston is also off Monday before traveling to Philadelphia for a three-game interleague series. Left-hander Dallas Keuchel (10-7, 2.97) will start Tuesday for the Astros.
Blue Jays: Infielder Brett Lawrie, who has been on the disabled list since June 23 with a fractured right index finger, will continue a rehab assignment at Single A Dunedin. Lawrie went 2 for 3 hitting leadoff Saturday night and played third base after starting at second base Friday night.
Astros: Infielder Jesus Guzman was placed on the 15-day disabled list with back spasms, and the Astros promoted outfielder Domingo Santana from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday. .. Outfielder George Springer, who has been on the disabled since July 20, will start a rehab assignment Monday at Single A Quad Cities.
Toronto outfielder Melky Cabrera had his hitting streak snapped at 10 games after going 0 for 4. Cabrera, who ranks second in the majors with 142 hits and is third in multihit games with 41, has a hit in 89 of 112 games this year.
Singleton recorded his second straight multihit game and is 7 for 15 in his last three starts. Of the rookie's 36 hits this season, 19 have been for extra bases.

Box Score New Mexico Lobos Softball - Mountain West Series -- at Lobo Field
Who: Lobos vs. Colorado State
Thursday, May 9: Colorado State def. Lobos, 3-2
Friday, May 10: Colorado State def. Lobos, 11-5
Saturday, May 11: 1 p.m. - Senior Day, GameTracker | Live Streaming
Game 54 - Colorado State 3, New Mexico 2 | Game 55 - Colorado State 11, New Mexico 5
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- The University of New Mexico softball team had the advantage in the hits column against Mountain West foe Colorado State on Friday night, but the Lobos lacked timely hits while the Rams had plenty and took an 11-5 contest from UNM.
The Lobos drop to 21-34 overall and 3-14 in MW play while the Rams move to an even 24-24 overall and 10-7 in league play.
The Cherry and Silver pounded out 13 hits, the most New Mexico has had in conference play this year. The Rams had 12 hits, but three of those hits were multi-run home runs -- timely hits. The Rams took a 4-0 lead after the first half inning and never let up.
"We had a couple of timely hits today," head coach Erica Beach said. "We got another timely hit from Naomi Tellez and Mariah Rimmer is catching fire...we're getting close."
The Lobos had a runner make it at least as far as second base in each frame except the seventh and left a total of nine runners left on base.
"We just need to take advantage of those moments," Beach added.
Rimmer went a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate and scored two runs while Tellez went 2-for-4, scored one run and drove in four.
Freshman Lauren Soles got the start and takes the loss, dropping to 9-15. Soles faced three batters and allowed one hit while giving up two runs, one of which was earned.
Senior Kari Gutierrez moved from the designated player position into relief pitcher and tossed the final 6 2/3 innings. Gutierrez faced 35 batters and allowed 11 hits and nine runs. She walked three and struck out four.
Winning pitcher was Kailey Snyder who improved to 1-4. She allowed 13 hits and five runs while walking one and striking out five.
The Lobos host the Rams at 1 p.m. MT on Saturday afternoon. It is the final home game of 2013 for UNM and the squad will honor its seniors: Kaela DeBroeck, Kaity Ingram, Sheryl Guillermo, Kari Gutierrez, Cassandra Kalapsa and Amber Tracy; along with redshirt junior Jordyn Bledsoe. Bledsoe sustained her fourth ACL tear in April which ended her career.
"Kaela is going to pitcher her final game as a Lobo tomorrow and I know that means a lot to her and she is fired up for it," Beach said. "The seniors are going to be on a mission and we'll definitely compete."
Colorado State 11, Lobos 5
Friday night's game got off to a bit of a rough start for the Lobos defensively as a miscue by UNM allowed the first run to score. Soles was called for three illegal pitches within the first three batters faced which brought in another run for the Rams. Gutierrez came on in relief after 1/3 of an inning, but CSU catcher Emily Pohl hit a two-run homer to put the Lobos in a 4-0 hole by the end of the first half inning.
The Rams got another two-run long ball in the third inning to increase their lead to 6-0, and strung together two hits in the fourth frame to lead 7-0.
The Lobos struck in the fifth as Rimmer led off with a triple to right center and was driven in off a single to right center by Tellez. UNM's defense held up in the sixth despite Colorado State getting back-to-back lead off singles and then the Lobos had a little rally of their own in the bottom of the inning.
With two outs away, senior Kaity Ingram hit a single to left field and advanced on a single by Rimmer through the left side. Both runners were driven in as Tellez launched a 1-0 pitch over the left-field fence and brought the Lobos to within two runs of CSU, 7-5.
It was the second time in as many days the rookie hit a two-out, two-run dinger.
"I was really pleased with how we fought back. Even when the score was 7-1 we didn't let it affect us and we kept fighting," Beach said.
But the top of the seventh yielded yet another costly homer by the Rams' Pohl -- this time a three-run long ball over the center-field fence. A walk, another Lobo error and a single up the middle added another run for the visitors and moved the score to 11-5.
It was three-up, three-down by UNM in the bottom of the seventh and the Rams secured the win and the series.

State water managers will have to continue searching for a way to fund a $1 billion water pipeline from Lake Powell to southwestern Utah after a legislative committee denied a proposal Wednesday to earmark funds for the project.
Citing concerns about Washington County's ability to repay a state loan and more general questions about the state's funding structure for water projects, the Revenue and Taxation Interim Committee voted 11-2 against a measure that would earmark future sales tax revenues for water projects such as the Lake Powell Pipeline.

Not long after the result of the referendum was announced, the heads of the EU institutions dismissed any speculation on whether Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU) could be circumvented. Pursuant to Article 50(2) TEU, the trigger to begin withdrawal proceedings lies with the departing country, the United Kingdom. Yet, the Treaty leaves open the "how and when": there is no deadline for triggering Article 50 TEU, nor are there requirements as to the format. In practice, this means that the UK is not obliged to begin withdrawal proceedings and that it can wait until it decides it is appropriate to do so. Meanwhile the EU is putting pressure on the UK to kick-start the procedure.
The UK's position
At first, and contrary to his earlier statements, outgoing British Prime Minister David Cameron stated that his successor would be the most appropriate person to start the procedure. However, Prime Minister Theresa May has already made it clear that she will not trigger Article 50 until a clear national plan on the way forward and how to approach the negotiations is put together and agreed within the UK. "I have already said that I won't be triggering Article 50 until I think that we have a UK approach and objectives for negotiations", stated May. Once the British Prime Minister has triggered Article 50, the withdrawal negotiations with the EU will begin. It is from this moment that the two-year period runs within which the EU and the UK have to negotiate (and ideally conclude) a withdrawal agreement.
By delaying the formal notification of its withdrawal, the UK is gaining time to come up with a clear domestic plan regarding future relations with the EU. This will define the British position going into the actual negotiations. As Prime Minister May stated before entering office, the decision to "push the button" is not likely to take place until 2017. The UK High Court has now also received legal challenges arising from the Brexit referendum result, claiming that only Parliament (and not the Prime Minister) can trigger Article 50 proceedings. It is likely that the case will be sent to the highest UK Court, the UK Supreme Court, on an expedited basis. A decision is expected by the end of 2016.
Nevertheless, in July 2016 the UK sent the first signals that it is preparing to leave the EU, announcing it would relinquish its Presidency of the Council of the EU in the second half of 2017. (Estonia will step into the UK's void six months ahead of its scheduled Presidency.) This announcement has reassured those who were starting to doubt whether Article 50 would ever be triggered. Another indication in this regard is the fact that the UK's Permanent Representation to the EU now reports to a new Department for Exiting the EU, also known as "Dept X" and headed by Secretary of State for Exiting the EU David Davis, instead of reporting to the Foreign Office, as traditionally has been the case. A new Department for International Trade has also been set up.
Meanwhile, in Brussels and other EU capitals, there is some anxiety about when the procedure will begin, as a result of what has been perceived as British delaying tactics.
The EU's push to move forward
Just days after the British referendum, the EU was already pushing forward. In a joint statement issued by the 27 remaining Member States on 29 June 2016, EU leaders made it clear that the UK should trigger Article 50 TEU "as quickly as possible", warning that "there can be no negotiations of any kind before this notification has taken place."
The EU has also recently appointed Michel Barnier, former French Minister and former Commission Vice President, as Chief Negotiator in charge of the preparation and conduct of the negotiations with the UK under Article 50. This clears any confusion that resulted from the appointment of Belgian diplomat Didier Seeuws by Council President Donald Tusk to head a "Special Task Force on the UK Brexit". Barnier will manage the (technical) bulk of the negotiations, while Seeuws' role will be more of a coordinating nature, protecting the prerogatives of the Council (and hence the EU Member States) against potential infringements by the European Commission.
The EU's tough stance regarding the timely triggering of Article 50 TEU reflects the remaining Member States' unease with what has been perceived as a string of measures to cater to the UK's position after Prime Minister Cameron's re-election in 2015 and ahead of the 23 June referendum, especially after the 27 Member States renegotiated the UK's membership with then Prime Minister David Cameron in February this year. Moreover, there is a strong sentiment among parts of the EU that the EU should not be held hostage by the UK's internal political developments following the vote. The EU is also facing a multitude of challenges, ranging from the migration- and refugee crisis to socio-economic challenges. The EU's view is that delaying the UK's exit is therefore not in the interest of the other 27 Member States.
In order to force the UK's hand, some think that the EU should trigger Article 7 TEU:
Article 7 TEU
(ex Article 7 TEU)
1. On a reasoned proposal by one third of the Member States, by the European Parliament or by the European Commission, the Council, acting by a majority of four fifths of its members after obtaining the consent of the European Parliament, may determine that there is a clear risk of a serious breach by a Member State of the values referred to in Article 2. Before making such a determination, the Council shall hear the Member State in question and may address recommendations to it, acting in accordance with the same procedure.
The Council shall regularly verify that the grounds on which such a determination was made continue to apply.
2. The European Council, acting by unanimity on a proposal by one third of the Member States or by the Commission and after obtaining the consent of the European Parliament, may determine the existence of a serious and persistent breach by a Member State of the values referred to in Article 2, after inviting the Member State in question to submit its observations.
3. Where a determination under paragraph 2 has been made, the Council, acting by a qualified majority, may decide to suspend certain of the rights deriving from the application of the Treaties to the Member State in question, including the voting rights of the representative of the government of that Member State in the Council. In doing so, the Council shall take into account the possible consequences of such a suspension on the rights and obligations of natural and legal persons.
The obligations of the Member State in question under the Treaties shall in any case continue to be binding on that State.
4. The Council, acting by a qualified majority, may decide subsequently to vary or revoke measures taken under paragraph 3 in response to changes in the situation which led to their being imposed.
5. The voting arrangements applying to the European Parliament, the European Council and the Council for the purposes of this Article are laid down in Article 354 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
Another discussion which is gaining prominence in British academic circles is whether the UK, having triggered Article 50, can on a proper interpretation of that article revoke its notification unilaterally, or whether it is locked into a fixed two year exit period (absent mutual agreement with all remaining Member States to extend or withdraw). There is significant academic disagreement on this question within the UK. One side of the argument holds that Article 68 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties 1969 states that a party that gives notice of its intention to withdraw from a treaty can revoke that notice at any time before it takes effect. The other side argues that the TEU creates an autonomous legal order which should not be interpreted by reference to other external international standards, and thus Article 50 itself amounts to a complete code for withdrawal. The TEU itself is silent on the position.In a nutshell, under Article 7 TEU, the EU can suspend a Member State's voting rights if it considers that it has breached the common values of the Union (basic principles of freedom, democracy, equality and rule of law) as enshrined in Article 2 TEU. The successful triggering of Article 7 TEU would thus suspend certain of the UK's rights, including its voting rights in the Council, while the UK would continue to be bound by its obligations under the TEU. The argument goes that continued delay by the UK Government violates the common values of the Union. Namely, by delaying the triggering of Article 50 TEU the UK is not acting in solidarity with the remaining Member of the Union. This conduct, based on solidarity among EU Member States, is basically meant to prevent the pursuance of national interests by a Member State which is disregarding the effects its behaviour might create for the remaining Member States. The invoking of Article 7 TEU remains unlikely at this stage, particularly since it has never been triggered before. Yet, the mere threat of invoking the Article remains a powerful instrument in the EU's toolbox to prevent the UK from stalling the triggering of Article 50 TEU.
The question of whether the notice can be revoked or not could have considerable significance in terms both of tactics around any exit negotiations and also the timing of a decision to invoke Article 50. However, in the perception of the EU institutions and a majority of the remaining Member States, this seems to be more of a political question, rather than a legal question; there is general consensus in Brussels that once the UK triggers Article 50, there is no turning back.

Suspects captured in "Big Country" Senegal murder
An arrest has been made in the shooting death of Marcus "Big Country" Senegal, who was killed March 30 near the Old School Shack Lounge in Port Arthur. According to Sgt. Scott Gaspard of the Port Arthur Police Department (PAPD), police issued a murder warrant for the suspect, 20-year-old Keenan Novon Anderson of Port Arthur. The warrant was the result of a sealed indictment handed down by a grand jury June 20.
Senegal was killed in one of a pair of shootings that occurred just hours apart early on the morning of March 30. In a May interview, PAPD Investigator Marcelo Molfino described the incident as the result of "turf wars" instigated by competing neighborhood groups, such as East Side versus West Side. Molfino said that a little after 3 a.m. on March 30, PAPD dispatchers received a call regarding gunfire in front of the Old School Shack Lounge at 901 Houston Ave. in Port Arthur. Two people were reported shot during that altercation. One of the two men, 29-year-old Marcus John "Big Country" Senegal of Port Arthur, suffered a fatal gunshot wound to his abdomen.
Molfino said that shortly after receiving the call about the Old School Shack shooting, PAPD received word of a separate shooting at Prince Hall Apartments in the 900 block of W. 14th Street in Port Arthur. Two people were reportedly injured during that shooting, which Molfino deemed a "retaliation" for the Old School Shack shooting.
Then, a few days later on April 2, another potentially related shooting at Prince Hall left one man with a bullet wound to the leg.
After the shootings, PAPD took 18-year-old Telly Roshard "Tello" Joyce Jr. into custody for a probation violation. He was reported to be a suspect in the March 30 shooting resulting in Senegal's death. According to Molfino, on April 29, Joyce's probation was revoked, and he received a sentence of 50 years in prison. Joyce has since been charged with murder in the Senegal shooting.
Police had been searching for Anderson since March for a parole violation. Anderson is a prior offender previously charged with "violent gun crimes," Molfino said, having been arrested for aggravated assault and possession of marijuana. Now, he is charged with murder.
According to Molfino, police apprehended Anderson the afternoon of Wednesday, Aug. 7.

Incoming freshman cornerback Nigel Bethel II was dismissed from the Texas Tech football team yesterday, a day after punching Amber Battle, the Lady Raiders basketball team's leading scorer, in the face during a pickup game. Rec center hoops are serious fucking business.
Citing "a zero tolerance policy on this type of behavior," Texas Tech announced Bethel's dismissal yesterday afternoon and confirmed the Saturday incident, which saw the freshman Bethel strike the senior Battle in the face during a basketball game, breaking a bone and forcing her to undergo surgery.
After the punch, but before his dismissal, Bethel tweeted: "Trouble always seems to find me... " He quickly deleted that.

MARINA DEL REY, Calif.—California recently became the 35th state in the nation with carbon monoxide legislation. As of July 1, all existing single-family homes with an attached garage or a fossil fuel source are required to install CO alarms within the home. Previous legislation already mandated the detectors in new homes.
The law is a way for the industry both to increase business and its knowledge and expertise regarding the devices, according to John Hopper, president of the California Alarm Association, which is based here.

Matt Passmore stars as Jim Longworth, an FDLE detective on the Broward County-based drama, "The Glades," which airs 9 p.m. Sundays on A&E.
Passmore grew up in Australia, where he played rugby, swam competitively, served in the army, and lifted weights for conditioning. He's always been physically active.
But these days, he pays attention to his profession when working out. He describes his character as "languid" and says, "If I start puffing out and walking like a bodybuilder, that's not Jim."
Q: Why do you keep fit?
A: Because it gives you a sense of well-being and relieves the stress level. This show is about dialogue, so it becomes one big, huge memory exercise. My character speaks all the time. All that dialogue and stress sit on my shoulder … So my body is begging me to do something.
We all allow ourselves a little vanity, and there's all that stuff that the camera adds a few pounds. But I don't obsess about that because I want to look like the character should. If the character needs to be fit, I'm doing it for that.
Q: What's your workout routine?
A: I do set-based workouts at the gym in my condo building and not so much cardio, because I can't memorize while my head is bobbing up and down. With my iPad, I'm memorizing my dialogue between [weightlifting] sets.
I have a two-day split regimen: chest and tri's (triceps) one day and back and bi's next. Four exercises for the chest, then arms, and finish with abs. I want to work the muscles, want the cells to break and rebuild, do as much as I can within 50 minutes.
I do four sets of 15 reps (repetitions) with free weights. I don't push as much weight as possible. The character of Jim is languid. If I start puffing out and walking like a bodybuilder, that's not Jim ... I'm playing a jovial, quick-witted guy.
Q: Does production ever cut into workouts?
A: Sometimes, but I won't go more than two days without doing something, even if it's just running down stairs or getting into the ocean and swimming to exhaustion. It's amazing what a couple of push-ups and sit-ups between scenes in the trailer can do. Gets my head in focus. Throw in 30 push-ups, and then ready to rehearse.
Q: Any physically tough scenes in "The Glades"?
A: The action sequences have been a great relief, but it's not an action-based show. The heat physically is the hardest thing to deal with. It's omnipresent. Especially in the swamps.
I'm from Queensland, which has sun, but I guess I didn't have to be out in swamps with makeup and bright lights while a stream of sweat is running down my a-- crack.
Q: Ever exercise with other actors?
A: Not really. I'm pretty solitary when it comes to the gym and I'm learning the lines. The socializing comes over a beer and basketball game.
Q: Have you played competitive sports?
A: I played rugby league when younger and swam about my whole childhood. But once the whole acting thing started, you're always going to let your team down because your schedule is not your own.
Q: You were in the Australian army?
A: Yeah, and it put me off running. I get shivers up my spine if someone says, "Hey, let's go on a 5-mile run." Threw up on some of those long runs.
Q: Do you smoke or have any health vices?
A: Beer is part of the Australian diet. Responsibly, of course. With mates over a game of pool or a game playing on the telly.
If it wasn't for my beer vice, you'd see my abs.
Q: What's your typical daily diet?
A: I'm very regimented. It's all about protein. Every morning I eat a couple of burritos. Midmorning is a protein drink, to make sure the muscles don't dissolve off my body, and nibbling on red or yellow peppers with hummus.
Lunch is what the catering truck brings. I'll snack up till the end of day. Sometimes the lunch and a snack will get me through. Most times, I'm not hungry. I get that out of the way with breakfast and lunch and snacks.
Q: What do you drink?
A: It's all about water, especially on this show with the humidity. We've had crew members go down, cast members faint. Coconut water I'm getting into now. Twice as hydrating, supposedly. Helps the body keep water better.
Q: Take any vitamins or sports-nutrition products besides protein drinks?
A: Absolutely regimented on vitamins, and added fish oils this year. I make sure to get good multivitamins that are organic and not synthesized. And B-12 is the ultimate stress reliever.
You need the right amount of vitamins. And Florida is so hot, you don't feel like eating. Have to regiment and eat or muscles can literally drip off your body. I have to make sure protein shakes are coming, and I'm always munching on something.
Q: Any advice for South Florida residents looking to get fit?
A: I think fitness is the life-stress reliever. Any time life gets me down, it comes from not moving much. You always feel better after exercise. We totally forget that feeling of, "Oh, I can't be bothered," after working out. And that permeates into your whole lifestyle. No matter what you do, just get up and start.
