Well the way I understood it Saki did find that it was strange thats why she brought it up to her friends in episode one but none of them wanted to give her any response.
This tells me that they know something isn't right about all this however they can't do anything about it.

@Grey: The kids erroneously thought Kiromaru was going to hand them over to the adults, ignoring the fact that it would mean that he would also get punished, as he explained later in the episode... which in turn doesn't make all that sense, since according to the anime the monster rats are not supposed to make contact with kids unable to use psychokinesis... I guess there must have been another reason, which was again skipped in the anime.
@Kuromitsu/DarkWing: Saki brought the matter twice before the field trip, first time Shun changed the subject, while the rest of the gang fell into awkward silence, while the second time Satoru started teasing her. So yeah the kids knew about it, but for one they could do nothing about it, as well as they didn't really care, except for Saki, since she thought that she was close to becoming a casualty herself.

The last lines in this episode kind of reveal that. The kids think they've "outwitted" the adults, but they overestimated themselves instead. The adults aren't stupid, obviously.

The bit with the larva and the flashback reminds me of the Slave Empires. Wonder when we'll get our next history dump. Find out where the Bakenezumi came from and what happened to those four factions.
And the impression I got was that Kiroumaru would be punished for helping them instead of killing them over handing them to the adults. That's why he wanted it to be a secret that he helped tow their canoes.

ETA: I rewatched the scene and it's Shun who tells her it's just a rumor. Saki has been concerned about the whole thing since she saw the nekodamashi, but the others are like "lol just stupid rumors." Maybe Saki is special because she was too close to "disappearing" herself, and overhearing her parents, but the others... Still, it's weird that she never really noticed other kids disappearing from around her.

I agree with everyone that the transition of them being worried about Kiroumaru to him helping him was really awkwardly done.
That being said I really liked Kiroumaru...maybe I just have a thing for noble beasts.
I also really loved the foreboding last line of this episode. Hopefully they will get better with the scene transitions and not rush everything because I still think this is a fantastic story so far.

Kiroumaru was a bro.
The whole "he's gonna kill us" "oh nevermind he helped us" was kind of trolly. And vague as well.
Not sure if he had orders to kill them, or if he wasn't suppose to interact with kids or what.
Glad this whole war thing between the beasts is over, I started getting tired of it.
lol @ the other 3 kids not getting into any trouble at all. bet they were having fun all this time.
Still not sure if Squealer was just as he said, a lowly cowardly worm, or if he was trying to stab them in the back or misleading them the whole time. He seemed to realize that Saki couldn't use her powers at the least. Also, I think he went back and told Kiroumaru where the Saki and Satarou went despite Saki telling him that they were running from Kiroumaru. It all worked out in the end, but still.
I think its weird that they think they can return to the village just fine. I mean, maybe I need to clear up what this whole event was suppose to be. It was just a camping trip? And they disappeared and came back?
Seems Saki reminds the only one able to use hypnosis out of the bunch, despite everyone knowing the method.

How long is the original novel? And where are we in the novel's story, relative to how many episodes we have left? It really feels like they were plowing through content as quickly as possible this episode. It shouldn't be that hard to figure out exactly how much time they have to devote to the story in each episode, since the novel is of finite length and they know how many episodes they have to work with.
After the infodumping in episode 4, they have really been light on the exposition since, which is making the events more confusing. And the way characters seem to arbitrarily change their motives, such as in the case of Squealey, only makes it harder to follow the narrative.

That's actually my biggest gripe with the series right now. While some episodes are great and keep me coming back for more, some other feel incredibly fillerish. I think the flow of the show would have been much better if they had combined episode 2 with 3 and episode 6 with 7.

I dunno, I can't understand Squealer. One moment he's helping the duo, THEN runs away, THEN backstabs them, THEN helps them run away from Mr. Noble Samurai rat, THEN most probably told Mr. Noble Samurai Rat where they are after they parted. Like, what the hell Squealer? Are you as what your name suggest? O_o
And what were the other 3 children doing in the mean time? They weren't looking for the enemy and waging war, so shouldn't they have been first at the canoes? Weird coincidence they met up at the roadway towards the canoes. Which reminds me, at least show us the initial conversation between Mr. Samurai and the group. Like I know we can infer a lot, but I'd rather them cut out the "don't tell anyone I helped you" scene if it meant they can explictily show the conversation on why he helped them, as that's more important IMO.
Finally, wow @ Shun. I know Maria has been told by narrator to be the one commiting the mass murders, but could Shun be the true final boss in the end? Like he's too competent for his own good, and if he is the final boss, I can't wait for the drama that stems from Saki trying to stop him. Oh the conflict!
But I must say, I like Saki's new look in the preview. Sure, Maria still is more 'mai waifu' material (partly due to HanaKana ), but she's like 10x cuter with longer hair thats for sure. <3

From Saki's narration we know that:
Maria will become a mass murderer of some unidentified species
Satoru will be possessed by a demon
Adults are more clever than 12YOs
and that the 5 kids are naive
derp for the later two
The A-1 staff needs to read/watch more shoujo and josei manga/anime-adaption, if they ever want to make some kind of justice to this novel, because up until now the original material is the only thing that keeps the anime interesting (lack of character development, continuity errors, very bad direction, etc.), as an adaption it is at best mediocre (ep.5+)... better handled by another production committee.

No, I think Squealer is sincere about him viewing them as gods. However, I also think he was sincere in the self-depreciating comments he made about himself when confronted by Saki over the backstabing incident.
Squealer is like the typical slimy coward that will do and say whatever he thinks will save his skin... but he's not a particularly malicious or sadistic being. To the extent that he can help "his gods" while still saving his own skin, he'll do it. But if he has to sell them out to save his own skin, he'll do that too.

notice how Squealer starts to have second thoughts the moment he realise that Saki can't use Cantus. If he know that the gods can't save him, he will just ditch them, the worst kind of coward. His self-deprecating speech is quite infuriating because it just seems like he wants to avoid responsibility.
I dunno if it's me thinking too much, but I feel like there are some politic undertone in this show

So, I managed to, ahem, procure the novel, obviously I haven't read it yet (and probably won't after the anime is over and/or if I can get it in a format that's more comfortable to read), but I skimmed it and from what I can see, the anime is doing well so far. The only thing that I noticed while skimming that haven't been made perfectly clear in the show so far can be handled later on, when it fits the anime's way of storytelling better. Basically, things will become interesting after the timeskip, but so far it's all good.
From what I can see there's no reason whatsoever for people to be negative and call the anime a bad adaptation that cuts everything that makes the story good. Because it's not and so far it doesn't.
(Also, a modest proposal: how about judging the show on its own terms instead of constantly comparing it to something that majority of people here haven't even read, including some of the people doing the comparing, and will never read unless it gets translated? It's not like an adaptation can be ever 100% faithful, anyway. If I want 100% faithfulness I'll just read the source material.)

You Wrote My Twitter Book, Now Promote It!
You have to admire the online chutzpah of HarperCollins and Nick Douglas. Having sourced the contents of Twitter Wit entirely for free from the microblogging service, the publisher is now attempting to crowdsource its marketing campaign. And so boldly!
Contributors to the book, edited by the former Valleywag editor and Gawker blogger (pictured), received a "congratulations" email today (below) from a HarperCollins marketer, which suggested they "flood Twitter with so many tweets about the book that no self-respecting Twitter addict will be able to resist buying a copy." Attached was a link to an "online buzz kit" consisting of various graphical badges (see image at left).
Bizarrely, this seems to be working (see image below), even though contributors get no royalties from the book, just a free copy. Flattery might have something to do with, as might ambition: Remember that Facebook status update that might turn into a movie? Surely the Twitter crowd is smart enough to draw some deals like that. Writes Douglas,
If even one [contributor] gets noticed enough to get their own book deal, I'll feel supremely lucky... Some of the people in the book are working on TV pilots, movies, books... mostly independently of their tweets. But the user @arjunbasu, who writes all these self-contained stories on Twitter, is looking to do that in particular in a book.
There you go: HarperCollins' campaign is about empowerment, not exploitation. Remember that as you gratefully flood Twitter with promotional messages. Also: It's always been this way.

The terms rich and poor are used variously and often confusingly. They can differentiate material resources, from decided surplus to brutal destitution. They can also be used to address the inner life, and here you have to be a little savvy. For example, one who is "poor in spirit" is a humble person who could thereby also have inner wealth. Being poor in spirit is very different from having an impoverished soul.
Today's Gospel story, in three short acts, reveals something of the relationship Christians ought to have with wealth and poverty. In act one, a wealthy man asks Jesus what he needs to do to inherit eternal life. When Jesus reminds him of the Commandments, he replies, "Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth." Jesus looks at him lovingly and then says to him: "You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give it to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me." The man leaves crestfallen, "for he had many possessions."
In act two, Jesus tells his disciples that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God. The disciples are astonished. In the Old Testament, wealth was typically portrayed as a blessing from God and proof that one was righteous. Now it appears to be one of the greatest liabilities.
In act three, Peter announces that they had given up everything to follow Jesus. Jesus assures them that anyone one who has given up houses and family for the sake of the Gospel will be repaid "a hundred times more now in this present age...and eternal life in the age to come."
So, what exactly should our relationship to wealth and poverty be? This is not the sort of question that admits a pat answer. If poverty is a curse, then why would Jesus demand it of the rich man? If it is necessary, then why give it to the poor, making them presumably less poor? At least one thing should be obvious: pursuing material wealth at the expense of spiritual wealth is always bad.
Today's first reading, from the Book of Wisdom, addresses this specifically: "I preferred her [wisdom] to scepter and throne, and deemed riches nothing in comparison to her." It is also the case that Jesus' historical mission was marked by itinerancy. He and his disciples were constantly on the move; to follow him on his mission meant literally to leave everything behind.
While this is not our situation today, we would do well to consider the aspiration of focusing on Jesus and his mission, as his disciples did who dropped everything to follow him unreservedly. We could consider that when our time, energy and even identity are tied up in pursuing material wealth, we have lost sight of the kingdom. Finally and most uncomfortably, we need to recognize that material wealth can insulate us from hearing the cry of the poor. St. John Chrysostom pointed out: "It is madness to fill our wardrobes full of clothes and to regard with indifference a human being—made in the image and likeness of God—who is naked."
Consider this challenge, inspired by Peter Singer: You just bought a new pair of suede boots for $200 and you are walking by a pond where a toddler is drowning. You would not hesitate to dash into the water to save the child, even though this would ruin your boots. A child is more important than boots! Now consider the moment just before buying the boots, knowing that those $200 could feed a starving child. Do you buy the boots, or do you give the money to a charity that feeds starving children?
Where does a poverty calculus like this stop? Would you continue to give your money to the point of starving yourself? Should you liquidate your children's college tuition fund to feed more starving children? Without collapsing into neurotic absorption about possessions or unhealthy guilt in having them, we could still ask ourselves: How much is enough? Am I hearing the cry of the poor?

Lon Solomon speaks at convocation
At the Monday Nov. 8 convocation, Lon Solomon told students how he went from being a Jewish seeker, caught up in alcohol, drugs, gambling and immorality, to a sold-out disciple of Jesus Christ and a pastor.
Having grown up in a Jewish home, Solomon said, he could only become one of three things: "a doctor, a lawyer or a failure. And being a preacher [was] definitely number three."
His search for truth began at age 15 with his rabbi and led him through eastern religions and drugs and alcohol, all which left him empty, unfulfilled and ever more mindful of his depraved condition. While in college, he came to know an eccentric street evangelist who gave him a Bible.
After reading his Bible for about a month, he came upon Matthew 11:28, which says, "Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Solomon said the verse brought him to his knees.
After confessing his spiritual unbelief and confusion, he told God that he would give his life to him, but reserved the right to take it back in one month if he did not experience the rest and peace that God had promised.
"If you've ever given your life to Jesus, you know what happened next. God moved into my life — hook, line and sinker, boat, anchor, oars, everything."
After about a week, he said, "Oh, my gosh; I have just backed into the answer of the universe!"
With Christ as his savior, Solomon kicked his destructive habits and graduated from college. He went on to get masters degrees in theology and Near Eastern studies and teach Hebrew and Old Testament.
In 1980, he became pastor of McLean Bible Church, a large non-denominational church in McLean, Va. Under Solomon's leadership during the past three decades, the church has grown into a megachurch with a popular radio ministry. In 2005 he earned his Doctorate of Divinity degree from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary.
Solomon closed his talk by citing 1 John 5:11: "This is the record: that God has given us his son, and that he has given us life in his Son. He who has the Son of God, has eternal life."

STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. (AP) — The big SUV keeps rolling along.
When gas hit $4 per gallon five years ago, analysts predicted the three-ton vehicles would soon be extinct.
But on Thursday, General Motors is unveiling a redesigned lineup of truck-based SUVs. Turns out the giant vehicles are still popular with drivers hauling boats, campers and large families.
GM controls 70 percent of the big SUV market in the U.S.
The 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade will hit showrooms in late winter or early spring.
Big SUV sales have fallen 75 percent since peaking at 917,000 in 2001. Although sales are only about a quarter of the peak, they're rising again.
Sales are up 4.5 percent since hitting a low of 228,000 in 2009.

The Skylight 1B filter reduces the excessive bluishness that frequently occurs in outdoor color photography, especially in open shade under a clear, blue sky. This means outstanding outdoor shots with superb color balance and clarity under all conditions. Also keeps skin tones free of colored reflections from nearby objects such as the shade of trees.
Many photographers use the Skylight 1B instead of a UV filter.
The UV filter is often used as a lens protector and left on the lens most of the time - since the light will be travelling through the filter before it gets to your lens you need the highest quality coated filter to ensure as much light as possible passes through your lens.

Cirillo's 'Fantastica' Officially The Boat To Beat In Lerici
28 March 2010
Lerici, 27 March 2010 - Lanfranco Cirillo's Fantastica is officially the boat to beat after two days of racing at the 2010 Audi Melges 32 Sailing Series Event, No. 1 in Lerici, Italy.
Cirillo's crew, comprised of tactician Michele Paoletti made not one wrong call and above all, confirmed they are like an unstoppable train. Of the three races performed on Saturday, Cirillo won the first two and finished sixth (his worst yet) in the third heat only due to suffering a penalty for not allowing enough room for Luca Lalli's B Lin Sailing.com at the first windward mark.
Dominating races one and two, Cirillo remained in front of the fleet, increasing his lead, on each beat and run. It appeared that no other team could match their speed. The real battle though was for the second thru fifth positions as it was a constant shift in placement. Defending Audi Melges 32 Sailing Series Champion Carlo Alberini on Calvi Network with Gabriele Benussi on tactics worked his way up for second overall. Lalli, with Melges 24 World Champion Lorenzo Bressani as tactician has had a smashing debut at the Series placed third overall, tied in points with Alberini.
Thumbs up for Mauro Mocchegiani on Rush Diletta, assisted by the phenomenal Italian sensation Matteo Ivaldi, he remains on point away from the second place finishers in fourth overall. The fantastic Peter Rogers on Highlife from the UK, has worked hard over the last two days to hold steady in fifth.
And, thrilled we are certain, congratulations to Edoardo Pavesio on his Maserati Melges 32. He came came from behind to win his very first race on the Audi Sailing Series circuit. Obviously they've made great leaps forward in terms of progress after a long winter break.
Top Five Results
1.) Lanfranco Cirillo/Michele Paoletti, Fantastica; 1-1-5-1-1-(6) = 9
2.) Carlo Alberini/Gabriele Benussi, Calvi Network; 4-2-1-7-4-(11) = 18
3.) Luca Lalli/Lorenzo Bressani, B Lin Sailing.com; 2-3-3-(12)-5-4 = 18
4.) Mauro Mocchegiani/Matteo Ivaldi, Rush Diletta; 3-4-9-3-(7)-2 = 19
5.) Peter Rogers/Ruaridh Scott, Highlife; 8-8-4.2-(17.2)-3 = 25

We saw a post about Stitchtagram earlier this month and immediately thought it would be perfect for Mother's Day gifts. Submit your own photos - maybe of the grandkids, some of your own baby pics, or snag some of your mom's favorite pics from her Instagram - and have them made into a throw pillow.
• For Grilling Moms: CB2 Fyrkat Cone Charcoal Grill
If Mom downsized the empty nest, the The Fyrkat Grill is perfectly sized for a tiny balcony. Plus, it has a bi-level grill for grilling meats and veggies separately. But perhaps most importantly - it's totally adorable.
• For Old Fashioned Moms: Organic Bouquet
And then there are those mom who like nothing better than a simple plant or flowers on Mother's Day. Organic Bouquet offers many eco-conscious arrangements. In addition to cut flowers, they offer uncommon options like Gourmet Fraise Du Bois and Miniature Tangerine.

text: I think we can all agree those ridiculous Dr Pepper 10 ads, which suggest the beverage is not for women, are a big disaster. No one tells us what we can and can't drink! The penis-only version of the soda has hurt the entire brand's approval ratings. But as this video shows, if you have a vagina and you decide to drink the stuff anyway, you'll be the one who's hurt — physically.

I was browsing The Register and saw this article. Interestingly enough, the search engine BETA was down when I looked at it, so there was no way for me to see for myself if the engine is better or not.
This is a big claim to live up to, as I have not seen any search engine better than Google. Here is the site: http://turbo10.com/ when it is up, maybe you guys can take a gander and see if these guys can really out-do Google.You're not going to believe this, but a new search engine has just appeared and, well, it may be better than Google.
Obviously, that sounds slightly ridiculous but after having spent a day devising weird and wonderful searches and comparisons, not only has it stood up to the test but it's so good that you realise how much of an effect Google has had on your thinking when it comes to searching the Net.
Personally? I am sceptical, and with the site down, I am disappointed already.

This is an extremely broad category, but there are definitely some basic types of outdoor structures to consider. In this section you can look at party-planning shelters like pole tents, frame tents, Vista Peak models, Star Shade canopies, pop up canopies, and many, many more. Most shelters of this type are dedicated to people who are interested in planning weddings, rehearsal dinners, reunions, and the like, or to people who frequent craft fairs, outdoor festivals, business expos, tailgates, and related events. That certainly isn't to say that none of these structures are suitable for other uses - they certainly are - it's just a general overview of some popular applications.
There's another set of shelters like portable garages, camping tents, EZ up tents, and other generally smaller structures designed more for personal or family use. There are all sorts of shelters in this category that are perfect for outdoor meals, family gatherings, providing shelter for a car, boat, or ATV, or other personal uses. Again, many of these canopies have more than one use, this is intended simply to provide a quick insight into how many outdoor enthusiasts choose to use these smaller shelters.
Once you have the structure in place, you need to think about the rain gutters, sidewalls, weight bags, stake kits, zipper panels, and window panels that can take your shelter to the next level. There are accessories and add-ons that add structural stability, some that essentially create an enclosed semi-permanent outdoor building, and others that add an elegant visual element to whatever image you're trying to create for an important outdoor event. Almost every canopy of every type can be improved upon in some way with the right accessory, and almost every manufacturer you can think of has a complete line of accessories that are appropriate for use with the various models they produce.
As you can see, there are a lot of considerations packed into this one exciting category. It doesn't matter, though, whether you already know what you want, whether you're shopping to compare prices, or whether you have no idea what kind of shelter you need for whatever upcoming use you intend to put it to. Simply start looking here in the Tents section, use the various filters and search tools that are available, and start narrowing the selection down from the extremely general to the totally specific. You'll be surprised to find that, before you even know it, you'll have found the perfect tent for you and for your next outdoor event.

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. - In the team's season-opener last Saturday, eighteen fencers represented the MIT's women's fencing program at The Big One Fencing Tournament at Smith College. The event featured individual competition in a field of participants from over twenty schools, including several Division I and Division II programs. The Engineers finished with seven top-ten performances across the three events.
In foil, senior Cordelia Link took the bronze in the field of 78. Jenna Caldwell (10th) and Julia Hopkins (19th) also placed in the top twenty, with Lindley Graham (21st) close behind them. Ana Escalante (42nd) and Julia Kimmerly (52nd) also competed for the Engineers.
At epee, senior Stephanie Shin paced the Engineers with a sixth place finish. Kirsten Hessler (10th) and Sophie Monahan (20th) also finished strong for MIT.
MIT put three fencers in the quarterfinals of saber, with sophomore Molly Kozminsky edging out Elena Tatarchenko and Annabeth Gellman as the trio ranked sixth, seventh, and eighth, respectively. Laura Evans (29th), Jennifer Fasman (48th), Jenny Allen (50th) and Crystal McKenzie (53rd) rounded out the Engineers in the field of 69.
MIT squares off in its first team competition on Saturday, November 21, when it travels to Brown University to face UMass, UNH, Tufts, Boston University, Brandeis and Wellesley.

02 May FLO Wine chooses Office 365: No sour grapes for this small business
Nexinite is your Office 365 Advisor and IT consultant for the wine industry. We specialize in creating custom solutions specific to your winery business. Read below and see how Office 365 helped FLO Wines.
As a part of FLO Brands, a lifestyle company I co-founded, FLO Wines aspires to enhance our customers' lives one sip at a time. We strive to make each experience with our wines a little better than the last and work hard to ensure that FLO Wine provides an exceptional experience for customers.
As a jazz musician and entrepreneur, Microsoft Office 365 has improved the way I work and I find new things every day that get me more and more excited about our decision to move to Office 365 – and I have only touched the surface.
When my business partner and I decided to move to the cloud we originally chose Google Apps. However, we constantly ran into version control issues with our documents and what's more we had no support, which cost us precious time. When you're an entrepreneur time is your most precious asset, especially when funding is at stake. We switched to Office 365 about a year ago with the help of C3 Integrated Solutions and haven't looked back. Our migration was effortless. Not only did C3 provide us technical assistance we needed, but they understood our business goals and helped us choose solutions that would allow us to operate most effectively.
Applications like Lync Online, SharePoint Online and Outlook Web App help make Office 365 an extremely powerful platform for small business like ours. Its seamless integration with existing Microsoft Office products allows our small business to function like an enterprise and scale exponentially to the passion level of the entrepreneur. Whether I am in Paris, London or West Africa I don't worry about whether or not I'll be able to get things done. The ability to work offline and have my emails and files update as soon as I am connected to the internet is invaluable.
Bottom line, I trust Microsoft. There is a reason Office is a world standard. In fact I used Word to write my business plan and PowerPoint to pitch our first seed investors. Now that we've upgraded to Office 365 Small Business Premium we have the power of the cloud to help us enter national markets and win business away from much larger brands.

Arnold Schwarzenegger to give motivational talks
The actor/politician will appear as a guest speaker during Jamie McIntyre's 21st Century Financial Education Summits, speaking at events in Perth, Melbourne and Sydney in June (13).
The former bodybuilder will talk about his diverse career and give tips and advice to attendees.
He says in a statement, "Australia is one of my favourite countries in the world and the people there are always so friendly and welcoming. Sydney will always be special for me as it's the city where I won the title of Mr Olympia for the final time!"
Event organiser McIntyre adds, "Arnold embodies everything that the Financial Education Summit is all about. He is motivated, inspirational, an achiever against all odds. How incredible that a young man from a small village in Austria could by the age of 21 have moved to Los Angeles and been crowned Mr Universe and within five years become the greatest bodybuilder of all time and within 10 years a millionaire from business and within 20 years the world's biggest movie star and 36 years later elected Governor of California."
The talks will take place on 12-14 June (13).

Town Manager Anthony Barrett announced the offical retirement of Capt. Angel Tubbs from the Bluffton Police Department on Wednesday during a departmental meeting.
Tubbs' retirement ends a 25-year career in South Carolina Law Enforcement. During her seven-year tenure with the Bluffton Police Department, she provided positive and professional leadership during a time of significant growth. Her noteworthy contributions led to the department being CALEA certified in 2009.
"Captain Tubbs' loyalty to the town and department will remain an example for others to follow," Tubbs said. "She will be missed and we wish her well in her retirement."
After Barrett spoke, Police Chief David McAllister announced changes in the command structure of the department. He said two positions were added to the command structure to strengthen the overall operations of the department. One will be a Chief of Staff position, to be filled by Angela McCall-Tanner, and the other an Administrative Lieutenant position, which will be filled by Lt. Joseph Babkiewicz.
McCall-Tanner is a graduate of the College of Charleston and the University Of South Carolina School Of Law. She previously served as a Deputy Solicitor in the 14th Judicial Circuit where she was the head of the career criminal prosecution team. McCall-Tanner will join the department at the rank of captain. She lives in Bluffton and volunteers at the Technical College of the Lowcountry and middle school mock trial programs.
Babkiewicz has been a police officer for more than 10 years after serving for five years in the United States Marine Corps. He started his law enforcement career in Bloomfield, Conn., where he served in patrol, the K-9 Unit and as a Field Training Officer. Babkiewicz joined the Bluffton Police Department in 2008 and has served in patrol as an officer and supervisor, investigations as a detective and supervisor, as coordinator of the honor guard and as the departmental media coordinator. He is a member of the Key International Honor Society at Ashford University where he will graduate this summer with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice. Babkiewicz also lives in Bluffton and is a volunteer coach in basketball and baseball at the Bluffton Youth Sports Program.

Omg someone else wants Justin & Jennifer back
two million fans;)
i still dont get it why Joey/Meghan should be invited back. All I remember about them is that they annoyed the hell out of me with their (Joey, mostly) fake and forced reactions to everything, and yep the delight of them being U-Turned twice.edit: but fine i'd take them over the three-peaters (especially if cowboys)
The only 3-peaters I want to see are Charla & Mirna and Dustin & Kandice too! Love them to bits!But I don't want them to come back because they went out on such a high note and are just so amazeballs!

This isn't going to be a too major overhaul as I will be 'time boxing' , but I hope to fix some bugs and make some significant improvements.
My main aims are:
- Improve the Doxygen documentation
- 'Modernise' the chart presentation to be more akin to charts produced by current office software
- Improve drawing speed for dynamic charts (30fps for 500 datapoints on average hardware)
- Make charts interactive, showing tooltips when hovering over data points and issuing events
1: Dataset / Serie(s) / Axis Classes
Currently there is quite a large number of Dataset derivatives most of which are a subtle subclassing of XYDataset.
My thought is to rationalize this to have 3 Dataset subclasses as follows:
- SingletonDataset
- PairDataset
- TupleDataset
A SingletonSeries is a series where the datapoints are singletons, say the 'Y' value, whilst the 'X' value is a fixed category set defined by the dataset. A singleton could sensibly be plotted as a line, a moving average, bars, even a pie-chart with no categories. The existing CategorySimpleDataset / CategorySerie would be replaced by this.
A PairSeries would contain an 'X' and a 'Y' value. These make more sense to plot as a XY Scatter Chart or a histogram. The existing series for XYSimpleDataset, VectorDataset, XYDynamicDataset and others would be replaced by this.
A TupleSeries would be for data that has more than just X and Y values. Probably, it would derive from PairSeries but with a vector member that can store 1 or more additional dimensions, so XYZSeries and a new OHLCSeries would fit here.
I was thinking about using wxAny for the series, but maybe it would be better just to be vectors. So, a PairSeries would basically be wxVector<T1,T2>. The advantage of wxAny is that I think any wxAny value can be output as a string, which obviously makes labeling easier.
2: Event Mechanism
Currently the library has its own sort of event mechanism. I am not yet sure exactly how this works, but there are a range of 'FIRE' macros and methods. I think that this could be entirely replaced using wxWidget's normal event mechanism, with the advantage that appropriate events can be exposed and therefore custom handlers added.
This could be a major piece of work or it could be straightforward.
Both of these 2 changes are highly likely to break the library for existing applications and TBH I can't really be bothered to write a compatibility layer.
I would welcome any thoughts on the above - and any other suggestions for that matter! Really, my time is quite limited for this, but it is a valuable learning exercise so I am happy to give it a go.

Dog crap. It sucks to step in. It sucks even worse when your run feels like it. Such was the case today.
Ran a warm-up and it didn't feel all that great. Began some interval work and the feeling stayed. Legs just felt dead, so I cut it short.
Gotta say, I'm really frustrated right now. Ever since I got the flu last month, I just haven't felt the same. Expectations are now pretty low for Boston. But it is what it is. Let's just run the dang thing and try to have fun, then follow it up with a spring/summer of minimal racing, but lot's of running and fly fishing... combined. I think my heart is already at running out to very remote streams and ponds and catching trout.
w/u: Ran 1.7 miles @ 7:46/mile pace.
Intervals: Ran .9 miles @ 6:46/mile pace.
Paved roads.
Slightly hilly for w/u, flat for intervals.
Upper 40s, partly cloudy.
Saucony Virrata, shorts, short sleeved shirt, long sleeved shirt.

Bummer, Jamie. It is amazing what something like a big illness will do - it just wipes you out entirely and can take a while to come back from. I hope you can just enjoy the next days before Boston, and then enjoy the experience there. And hopefully surprise yourself and feel really great on race day! Keep your spirits up! You'll be back.

Ditto Sparkplug. You'll feel a little better if you cut yourself some slack, too...

The Jonas Brothers, as a musical entity, are no more.
A few weeks after shuttering an upcoming tour due to "creative differences on the music," the trio have decided to call it quits, a rep for the band confirmed to The Times.
The brothers -- Nick, 21, Joe, 24, and Kevin, 25 -- didn't issue a statement, but they told People magazine that the decision was mutual.
Growing tension among the brothers was first reported by People, which reported a "deep rift within the band" as the catalyst for canceling a 19-date tour two days before it was to have begun.
The trio had been working on their fifth album, "V" -- the tour was to have previewed tracks from the record -- but they were unable to mutually agree on their musical direction, the rep said.
The three had each explored solo paths as they transitioned into adulthood after 2009's "Lines, Vines and Trying Times," their last album under Hollywood Records, the label that launched them into teen pop superstardom with their own Disney series and films.
Kevin got married and launched a reality show with his wife (they are expecting their first child), Joe and Nick went solo to drastically different results, and they've racked up their fair share of more adult-friendly headlines along the way (shirtless selfies, bombshell girlfriends, salacious rumors, etc.)
Earlier this year, they launched the first leg of the tour, which wrapped with a sold-out show at Gibson Amphitheatre in August.
The new music they previewed packed a harder punch than some of their earlier, sweeter pop melodies -- but there was an array of tastes present. Their driving, drumline-soaked single "Pom Poms" was steeped in the pure pop sexiness Joe flirted with on his solo debut, while "The World" showed Nick's knack for bluesy, John Mayer-inspired pep, and crowd standout "What Do I Mean to You" was a moody rock-electro mid-tempo that could have easily been crafted by the Weeknd.

Each year the Australian summer brings news stories of shark sightings close to shore, shark attacks, and the inevitable debate about how to protect beachgoers from such attacks. Australia, as an island continent with the bulk of its population inhabiting the coastal areas, has had a long relationship with sharks. This relationship is reflected in our culture and expressed by a number of terms in Australian English.*

I am reading the Commentariolum petitionis, (The Handbook of Elections) a great little work, probably written by Quintus Cicero, Marcus' brother. He describes all the ropes of an electoral campaign in Rome (great read, anyway). There is a phrase which I find rather difficult to translate. Quintus is talking about sodalitates, kind of associations used for electoral purposes. These were on the edge of legality and in fact were made illegal some years later. Well, Quintus tells that he was actually there when his older brother met the leaders of four sodalitates who pledged to help Marcus Cicero in his election. I give you the whole paragraph:
It is just the offer of those four men which I do not understand:Nam hoc biennio quattuor sodalitates hominum ad ambitionem gratiosissimorum tibi obligasti, C. Fundani, Q. Galli, C. Corneli, C. Orchivi; horum in causis ad te deferendis quid tibi eorum sodales receperint et confirmarint scio, nam interfui; qua re hoc tibi faciendum est, hoc tempore ut ab his quod debent exigas saepe commonendo, rogando, confirmando, curando ut intellegant nullum se umquam aliud tempus habituros referendae gratiae; profecto homines et spe reliquorum tuorum officiorum et[iam] recentibus beneficiis ad studium navandumn excitabuntur
Any ideas? (especially "in causis ad te deferendis"). Thanks!horum in causis ad te deferendis qud tibi eorum sodales receperint et confirmarint scio, nam interfui

NASCAR has been an American sporting icon for decades. Thousands of American families of all ages and sizes enjoy NASCAR events on a weekly basis. Nothing helps create a fond family memory of these experiences like a piece of official NASCAR memorabilia such as a T-shirt or baseball cap. Unfortunately, the vast majority of NASCAR memorabilia is manufactured outside of the United States. Recently, a renewed effort has been made to bring manufacturing of these items back to within the United States of America.
Charlotte Motor Speedway has identified this issue and is taking strides to adjust the situation. Charlotte Motor Speedway is located in North Carolina and is owned by parent company Speedway Motorsports Inc. SMI currently has a 50 percent share in the rights to a majority of NASCAR and team specific merchandise. Marcus Smith, president of Speedway Motorsports Inc., has begun to direct the company to order as much "Made in the USA" merchandise as possible. Smaller items such as pens, key chains, and other similar trinkets will continue to be manufactured overseas. However, larger items such as sweatshirts and jackets will begin production inside the US.
Smith recognizes that this new operation will involve more cost but states that it is only right to have American-made merchandise for such a traditionally patriotic sport. Smith believes that American NASCAR patrons will be more inclined to purchase merchandise if they are visually assured that items are made here in the United States of America. HR

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - After serving as a player and later coach for traditional Division III powerhouse University of Redlands, DAPER Department Head/Director of Athletics Julie Soriero announced that Adam Foley has been named the new head coach of MIT's water polo team in time for the start of the 2007 season. The appointment marks Foley's first head coaching stint, as he takes the reins from Felix Mercado, who admirably served as the squad's head coach for the past two seasons.
After graduating from Redlands in 2004 with a B.A. in history, Foley joined the Bulldogs' coaching staff as a graduate assistant for both men's water polo and swimming. During a year-long coaching tenure with his alma mater, he pursued his M.A. through the School of Education while helping lead the water polo squad to a 24-11 record.
Foley's transition to the deck came following a dominating four-year career in the pool at Redlands. During his Bulldogs' tenure, he racked up several awards while etching his name all over the record books. When Foley's playing career had finished, he left the school seventh all-time in goals (111), fifth in assists (103), third in steals (202) and fifth in ejections drawn (100). In addition, his single season marks in steals (61) and ejections drawn (41) were each good enough for sixth all-time, while his 36 assists in 2003 were the seventh highest total in school history.
As a student-athlete, Foley captured several awards - none more prestigious than his Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Division III Player of the Year nod during his senior season. That same year, he was honored as the All-Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) Player of the Year, earned Western Water Polo Coaches Association All-Tournament Second Team accolades, and was rewarded with CWPA "Excellent" Academic Honors. The Ashland, Ore. native was a member of three SCIAC championship teams and was named to a trio of All-SCIAC All-Conference teams.

WOODSTOCK – Alisha Soto knows what she'll study next year and where she wants to go.
It's the finances she doesn't have figured out yet.
"I know I'm definitely going to have to take out student loans," Soto said. "My mom's going to try to help, but my mom's a single mom with three kids. ... Hopefully that incentive will push for a little more financial aid."
The 18-year-old senior at Woodstock High School isn't alone in holding out for help. For the 2010-11 academic year, the annual cost for a year of undergraduate tuition, room and board was estimated at $13,600 at public institutions, $36,300 at private nonprofit institutions and $23,500 at private for-profit institutions, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. And with a job market still in recovery, many students are doing what they can to ease the financial burdens of higher education.
There are steps students can take to make up for thin pocketbooks, but they've got to kick the defeatist attitude, said Shannon Landwehr, Woodstock High School counselor. She recommends keeping an open mind and applying for a lot of scholarships.
"You have to be willing to do a little bit of investigating," Landwehr said. "Don't just assume you're not going to get anything and not try."
Soto said she spends as much as three hours many nights searching and applying for scholarships. Landwehr wishes that was the norm.
"There are some that we have, especially our local ones, that we get two kids to apply, which is sad," she said. "And I think there are two things that factor in. I think it's a misconception that, 'I'm not going to get it anyway, so why bother.' Or, 'I don't want to put the time in.'"
Landwehr also suggests filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid early.
Sometimes making direct contact with admissions counselors and expressing a further financial need can prompt an adjusted financial aid package, Landwehr said.
If financial aid isn't there, sometimes it's best to seek another school rather than take on smothering debt, said Lora Reinholz, a financial adviser and adjunct professor of financial planning at Marquette University in Milwaukee.
As a general rule, students shouldn't borrow more money than they can expect to earn in their first year out of school or the average of their first five years out of school, Reinholz said.
"A number of them ... are not even paying attention," she said. "They don't know until they graduate how much they'll have to pay on a monthly basis."
Reinholz suggests charging very little to credit cards and avoiding credit card debt, which can add to an individual's post-college financial woes.
And spend wisely, she said.
"Pay attention to the little things," she said. "A good exercise for students is to put a notecard in their wallet and track all their spending in one week, see how many times they're going for coffee or a quick lunch."
Getting a steady job after college is the only way to ensure financial stability down the road.
Pam Cumpata, president of the McHenry County Economic Development Corp., said students need to do whatever it takes to set themselves up for those job prospects. She advocates for internships – even if they're unpaid – and aggressively pursuing employers when the time comes.
Her daughter, Kristina Cumpata, is currently on the job hunt. She starts paying on her student loans this summer.
"Every day when I got home from work, I had a young lady sitting at my kitchen table who was either on a high because someone responded or slid to a low because she had applied how many times and heard nothing," Pam Cumpata said.
Cumpata advises her daughter to be persistent. She tells family members of job hunters to be positive and a champion for their loved one's efforts.
Reinholz said new graduates should look at the total compensation package – salary as well as benefits – before making a decision on where to work.
"The No. 1 thing for the first job is have the job where you're going to be the happiest," she said. "If you're doing what you love, everything else is going to be easier."

DUBLIN, Ohio, 18 October 2013— The National Library of New Zealand is working with OCLC to improve interlibrary lending and reduce costs by moving the infrastructure of the national Te Puna Interloan network to the hosted version of OCLC's VDX resource sharing system.
OCLC's VDX document delivery and management system fully automates the requesting and supply of books and journal articles for libraries that use the Te Puna Interloan system. The National Library of New Zealand has selected OCLC to host and manage this system, which greatly reduces the organisation's administrative workload and reduces maintenance tasks. The national interlibrary loan infrastructure is now hosted in OCLC's data centre, with local support provided by OCLC staff, in Melbourne, Australia.
Eighty-eight percent of New Zealand libraries use Te Puna Interloan, including small public libraries, large university libraries and a variety of special libraries. The system generates approximately 102,000 requests per year and includes interlibrary loans between libraries in Australia and New Zealand. VDX facilitates Te Puna's interloan payment service, tracking the financial transactions between the supplying and requesting organisations, which enables the National Library to generate invoices. This move positions Te Puna Services and the National Library of New Zealand for additional next-generation technology.
"The OCLC Melbourne Office was very supportive throughout the whole process of migration and upgrade," said Kaye Foran, Customer Support Consultant (Te Puna), National Library of New Zealand. "They worked hard to provide the configurations we required and to adapt to the requirements of a wide range of libraries within New Zealand. They have continued to provide prompt and efficient service."
"OCLC continues to provide shared infrastructure for libraries around the globe. Within the past few years, we have seen libraries choosing OCLC for more than hosting services of their VDX systems," said Chris Thewlis, Regional Manager, OCLC Asia Pacific and Australia. "Libraries are finding efficiency and value in having the system provider also managing the process. OCLC has developed considerable expertise in managing systems, which was essential for supporting such a significant national infrastructure as Te Puna Interloan."

More about OCLC's VDX service is on the OCLC website.

UW's Buchanan Contributes to Report on Intercollegiate Athletics
University of Wyoming President Tom Buchanan was part of a national advisory group that helped produce a new report calling for enhanced board oversight of college athletics.
The 14-member panel of the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges (AGB) included presidents and board members from universities across the country. Buchanan and the other members "were vital counselors as AGB examined the relationship of college athletics and academics, and the role that governing boards play in the oversight of intercollegiate athletics," AGB officials say.
The new report cautions that as intercollegiate athletics departments increasingly operate like businesses, boards must act to ensure an appropriate balance between athletics and academics in their institutions, or policy makers or regulators will do it for them.
The findings of the report, an initiative of the AGB Intercollegiate Athletics Project, were announced at this week's Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics meeting in Washington, D.C.
"In light of recent issues in college sports, it is imperative for boards to function at a higher level of awareness and judgment in order to address the financial challenges associated with college sports, to ensure the link between intercollegiate athletics and academic priorities, and to reaffirm standards and ethics in college athletics," says AGB President Richard D. Legon.
The report focuses on three recommendations for appropriate board engagement:
- The governing board is ultimately accountable for athletics policy and oversight and must fulfill this fiduciary responsibility.
- The board must act decisively to uphold the integrity of the athletics program and its alignment with the academic mission of the institution.
- The board must educate itself about its policy role and oversight of intercollegiate athletics.
Buchanan says the approach taken by UW and its Board of Trustees to the university's athletics programs reflects the priorities outlined in the AGB report. He notes that UW athletics teams all received positive ratings when the NCAA released its Academic Progress Rates earlier this year.
"We have developed a culture in which our student-athletes and coaches know that success in the classroom is as important as success on the playing field," Buchanan says. "That starts at the top with oversight from our Board of Trustees and continues through with the leadership of Athletics Director Tom Burman."
AGB is the only national association that serves the interests and needs of academic governing boards, boards of institutionally related foundations, and campus CEOs and other senior-level campus administrators on issues related to higher education governance and leadership. Its mission is to strengthen, protect and advocate on behalf of citizen trusteeship that supports and advances higher education.
Electronic copies of the report and its supplemental survey data are available online at www.agb.org.

|"Simply fixing the payment mechanism will not be
enough to fix the broken human interactions."
In case any one of us needs reminding, the profit-driven healthcare system in America is broken. Driven by its primary motivation to make money, there is little that compels those currently in control to care about patients like you and me. We are most assuredly a necessary component of the healthcare market – they cannot make any money without us – but we are treated like children to be seen and not heard.
The vast majority of us cannot access or pay for the care we need without health insurance coverage through either a private, for-profit health insurance company or through a government program for which we qualify. A small minority of people can afford to pay for care outright with cash or credit.

TV is pretty damn lily white, but it's apparently getting better. I could rattle off the same names — Mindy Kaling, Donald Glover, Retta — but I think we're all getting familiar with the people of color on TV. I'm not complaining, it's a very good thing, and I think we should talk about it until our vocal chords fall out because it's so important for people, especially kids, to see themselves on the screen.
Without further ado, TV Equals put out an infographic for racial diversity on the Fall TV lineup, and it's really interesting. It's their second year doing this, and it looks like it's gotten a little better this year. But that doesn't really mean it's time to celebrate a post-race America.
This year, as we wade through this uneasy exercise once more, let us keep in mind that the goal is not to bring affirmative action to TV but rather to highlight a reality that cannot be ignored. It's one thing to believe there is a serious lack of racial diversity on TV but it's quite another to see the numbers for yourself.
It's interesting... shows like Community and Parks and Recreation rate high in the diversity factor, while shows like Gossip Girl and Two and a Half Men are doing very poorly.Do you think there's a correlation between shows that make an effort to not be so fucking white and shows that are just... better? I know it can't be 1:1, but it's definitely noticeable.
I think it's also important to point out that there are shows that might have some token characters, that are still racist as fuck — like, say, Two Broke Girls. Actually, there are shows that rate low on the diversity factor like Raising Hope that I find much less offensive than the gross tokenism of Two Broke Girls. Things are complicated, everyone. I kinda feel like there should be a fifth category that's just, "There are people of color on this show but it's still wack as fuck."? Eh? Just a thought.
All in all, we're doing better, but we've still got a long way to go. Kinda like America itself, right? Let us remain ever vigilant by watching as much TV as possible always. Meet you over at Hulu Plus, friends!

Snooki loses 42 pounds, flaunts post-baby body
Snooki has lost 42 pounds, proving that, while she hasn't gone anywhere, her baby weight has definitely gone bye-bye. The diminutive, self-proclaimed meatball is flaunting her post-baby body in sexy bikinis and other swimsuits in this week's issue of Us Weekly. The "Jersey Shore" star is crediting her weight loss to exercise and dieting, the new "GTL" routine. The 4-foot-9 reality starlet now weighs 102 pounds. "Everyone pick up Us Weekly on stands now!! Hard work pays off Big thanks to my trainer @anthonycpt27, Express Meals & Florham Park Fitness!!" Snooki, 25, whose real name is Nicole Polizzi, posted on Instagram with a pic teasing to her cover photo and mag spread.

Kopff Says Classical Education Defined the Countryby Howard Hewitt • April 22, 2010 Share:
Dr. Christian Kopff reiterated what many attending his lecture Thursday already knew. Our founding fathers and many of the most accomplished citizens in our history benefited from a Classics education.
Dr. Christian Kopff, a professor at the University of Colorado since 1973, presented a talk, "Why does the Classics Matter?" Kopff attended Haverford College, Pa., and the University of North Carolina.
Approximately 30 students and nearly 10 faculty members crowded Center 216 to hear his remarks.
The first half of his talk was centered on sharing how this country's founding fathers all had a classical education and were strong believers in classical education. "America's Founders were traditionalists," he said. Kopff talked about the writing of our founding fathers and how their words and intent were routed in the classics.
He also drew interesting comparisons between the decline in high school Latin enrollment and a two-decade drop in verbal SAT scores from the early 1960s to the early 1980s.
Kopf talked about the trend of emphasizing to students the need to think critically. He said his conversation with college professors on the topic usually ends the same. 'It's hard to teach students to improve their critical thinking and writing because I'm spending so much time correcting their grammar,' he shared as the common response.
He repeatedly came back to a nearly half million student drop in high school Latin enrollment as the comparison standard to problems in education.
"It's hard to improve your grammar in your own language," he contended. "That where Latin has been so valuable for generations."
He suggested some of the most successful people in history and the world today benefited from a classical education. "We need to sober up and listen to the wisdom of the past," he said.
Kopff's talk was presented by the Wabash Conservative Union.
