Tip is set for 4 p.m. inside Freedom Hall.
The Bucs (1-4) are coming off an 89-75 victory over Samford on Thursday night, while Stephen F. Austin (3-1) defeated Marshall in overtime that same evening. This will be the first meeting ever between the Bucs and Lumberjacks.

Game Notes
We are "ETSU"
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
Buc bits
The ETSU men's basketball program was glad to see the 2012-13 campaign come to an end, following a season which saw the team face multiple obstacles and challenges -- such as a brutal schedule that featured the likes of North Carolina, Arizona,
Ole Miss,
Virginia Tech, Georgia and Hawaii ... Other issues for the team included senior post Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.) missing the
season with
ankle injury that he suffered in
the preseason, senior guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) being academically ineligible for the first two months of the year, and two other senior guards who were expected to be major contributors were dismissed from the team in early November for violations of team rules … This left head coach Murry Bartow and his coaching staff with a young, inexperienced group of underclassmen, several true freshmen, one redshirt freshman and a pair of junior college transfers … Those obstacles proved to be tough to overcome, as the Buccaneers posted a 10-22 record and finished 8-10 in Atlantic Sun Conference play … It was the toughest campaign in Bartow's 10 seasons at ETSU, a tenure that has produced many championships, postseason tournament appearances and 20-win campaigns … In all, Bartow's teams have earned three NCAA Tournament invitations (2004, 2009 and 2010), one NIT appearance (2007), and one CIT berth (2011), and the Bucs have eclipsed 20 wins five times. … This year, the Bucs will once again take to the floor with a young squad made up of several new faces … In fact, despite the return of the 6-fooot-9 Poderis, the Bucs have just five players back this season who played significant minutes a year ago.
The Bucs return to Freedom Hall
Over the next week and a half, the ETSU men's basketball team will play three games inside Johnson City's Freedom Hall as part of the First Bank and Trust Company Roundball Showcase ... The Bucs will play Samford (Nov. 21), Stephen F. Austin (Nov. 23) and Marshall (Nov. 30) at the facility, and the women's team will play one game against Morehead State as part of a doubleheader on Dec. 21.
The series vs. Stephen F. Austin
This will be the first meeting ever between ETSU and Stephen F. Austin.
Last time out
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 21, 2013) – A change of scenery turned out to be just what was needed for the ETSU men's basketball team. ... Playing a "home game" inside Freedom Hall Civic Center for the first time in 12 years as part of the First Bank and Trust Company Rounball Showcase, senior forward Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) collected a double-double performance and sophomore forward Lester Wilson (Knoxville) netted a team-high 20 points as the Buccaneers overcame a second-half deficit to defeat non-conference foe Samford 89-75 Thursday evening. ... The Bucs – who scored their most points in a game since a 90-88 win over Lipscomb back on Feb. 2, 2013 – got 18 points and a career-high 12 rebounds from Gadsden-Gillard, along with double-figure scoring nights from Wilson with 20, junior guard Jalen Riley (Racine, Wisc.) with 16, freshman guard A.J. Merriweather (Jackson) with 15, and junior guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa, Fla.) with 13. ... As a team, ETSU shot 50 percent from the field and out-rebounded the Bulldogs, 41-28, including a 13-7 advantage on the offensive glass. The Bucs also committed just nine turnovers in the game. ... ETSU's bench also outscored Samford's reserves 42-11, and the Bucs held a 17-5 advantage in second-chance points. ... Despite those quality numbers, the Bucs actually trailed much of the game and found themselves down 54-47 with 13:15 left in the contest. However, at that point it was not only the offensive play of the team, but the defensive and rebounding efforts of Merriweather and senior post Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.) that helped change the momentum. ... Poderis, who finished with nine boards and six rebounds in the game, also had a pair of blocks that sparked the Bucs and led to a 16-2 run that made the game 63-56 in favor of ETSU with less than eight minutes left in the contest.
All-around effort by Gadsden-Gilliard impressive
Setting new personal bests with 12 rebounds and six assists in the win over Samford (11/21), senior forward Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) had people thinking "triple-double" when he added an 18-point effort to his statistical line ... The Bucs hope that KGG can make these types of efforts more consistent ... So far this year, KGG has games of 31, 18 and 16 points, to go along with outings of just two and four points of output.
Merriweather continues to shine, posts double-double
Freshman guard A.J. Merriweather (Jackson, Tenn.) has certainly made an impression in the early going this season, and he continued to make more news against Morehead State (11/12) ... The 6-2 guard collected his first career double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds, to go along with a pair of assists, a block and a steal in 35 minutes of play ... His current team ranks are first in rebounding (7.2 rpg) and second in steals (1.2 spg), fifth in scoring (9.4 ppg), and third in minutes played (27.8).
Bucs improve defensively, but inside game struggling
A year ago, ETSU allowed teams to shoot a high percentrage from the field and from the 3-point line ... This year, ETSU's defensive efforts have paid off as the Bucs have held teams to just 41 percent shooting from the field and 31 percent from 3-point range ... However, as the Bucs have improved on the perimeter, the team has struggled in the paint ... Currently, ETSU's rebound margin is -5.2, and the Bucs have been out-rebounded by a total of 197-171 ... Those numbers have led to more second chance points for opponents and the reason for two close losses for the team.
KGG, Merriweather enjoy strong debuts at Charlotte
With his career-high, 31-point effort in the loss at Charlotte (11/8), senior forward Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) certainly made an impression on those inside Halton Arena. ... Along with KGG's showing, freshman A.J. Merriweather (Jackson, Tenn.) did not shy away from the challenge of his first college game and the assignment of defending Charlotte guard Pierria Henry ... While KGG finished with career bests for points (31), field goals made (10) and 3-pointers made (4), Merriweather finished with 10 points to go along with team highs for rebounds (7) and steals (3) in 29 minutes of play.
Young Bucs still face obstacles with experience
The last two seasons, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow has faced the challenge of developing a roster with minimal experience ... As the 2013-14 Buccaneers begin play, Bartow is once again looking at a team with several new faces and limited playing time ... In all, the Bucs return just six players who saw time on the floor last sesaon, while there are a total of seven newcomers to the program ... When counting the entire 15-man roster, the Bucs have a total of just 11 varsity seasons between the team for an average of less than a season per player ... The most experienced player on the team is fifth-year senior Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.), but he is returning from an injury which made him miss the entire 2012-13 campaign.
Shuffling starters the "new normal" for Bucs
Last season, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow used 17 different starting lineups in the team's 32 games ... Injuries and dismissals left the ETSU's coaches searching for the right combination all season. ... Bartow hoped to find more stability with his rotation in 2013-14, however he has now used five different starting lineups in five games so far this season.
Rembert hoping to stay hot as 2013-14 season begins
Junior guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa) has made the most of his increased playing time over the last two seasons, having made a 3-pointer in 34 straight games dating back to last season ... Last season, Rembert ranked fourth in the A-Sun in 3-point field goal percentage at 39.7 percent for the year. ... This year, Rembert has shown signs of expanding his offensive productivity, as he averaged 21.0 points per game in the Bucs' exhibitions against Milligan (10/29) and Mars Hill (11/2) ... In fact, he put up a stunning 33 points on nine made 3-pointers in the win over Milligan.
Bucs have tradition of postseason appearances, success
The ETSU men's basketball team has enjoyed its share of postseason success and ranks as one of the nation's most prestigious basketball programs ... The Buccaneers have earned berths to the NCAA Tournament nine times (1969, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010) and NIT twice (1983, 2007) ... In 2011, the Bucs made their first ever appearance in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, winning twice and advancing to the semifinals of that event ... It was the program's 12th postseason tournament appearance all-time.
Three-point streak for Bucs dates back nearly 20 years
Since Feb. 16, 1987 in a game against Davidson, the Bucs have made at least one 3-pointer in 799 consecutive games. ... ETSU was 0-for-8 in that 1987 game.
ESPN names Wilson to nation's Top 25 freshmen list
While circumstances forced the ETSU men's basketball team to struggle last season, talented redshirt freshman forward Lester Wilson (Knoxville) gave the Buccaneers reason for hope. ... Wilson, who is averaged 13.0 points per game, was listed as one of the Top 25 freshmen in college basketball by ESPN hoops writer John Gasaway. The list – which included players such as UNLV's Anthony Bennett, UCLA's Jordan Adams, Michigan's Nik Stauskas and Duke's Rasheed Sulaimon – had Wilson ranked at No. 25. ... Wilson has posted six 20-plus point games so far this season.
ETSU picked among nation's best "Prestige" programs
In the modern era for NCAA Division I-A basketball – marked by the expansion of the NCAA Tournament field to 64 teams in 1984-85 – the ETSU men's basketball program ranks in the Top 30 percent of the 300 programs that were eligible for the postseason at that time, this according to ESPN.com's "Prestige" ranking released back in 2008 ... Since that time, the Bucs have only added to their list of prestigious honors … The Bucs -- who have enjoyed nine NCAA trips, one NIT and one CIT berth, 14 20-win seasons, and a slew of conference regular season and tournament championships since 1984-85 -- ranked tied for 82nd out of 300 teams, meaning they were in the Top 27 percent of schools making the list. ETSU was ranked ahead of every current Atlantic Sun team, as well as former SoCon rivals Appalachian State, Western Carolina, Georgia Southern and UNC Greensboro. In addition, at that time the Bucs ranked ahead of SEC schools such as Tennessee, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Mississippi State, Georgia, Mississippi and Auburn, as well as programs such as Notre Dame, DePaul, Bradley, Clemson and Fla. State.

December 3 – Christmas Tree Ornaments
Did your family have heirloom or cherished ornaments? Did you ever string popcorn and cranberries? Did your family or ancestors make Christmas ornaments?
We had a number of ornaments that had been around forever, from my point of view, but I don't recall any that were handed down as heirlooms. There were some that we made sure got on the tree every year, and some that didn't always get used. I remember occasions when we did string popcorn, or cheerios, but not cranberries. I don't know why we never did cranberries. And the strings usually got pretty beat up, resulting in a mess, so we didn't usually do those in consecutive years.
We didn't make ornaments as a rule, although there were always the ones we kids made at school and church that got put on the trees. Some of those lasted a number of years before falling apart.

Oprah Winfrey had just days to prepare for Lance Armstrong interview
The talk show queen filmed the candid chat with Armstrong on Monday (14Jan13) and later called it "the biggest interview I've ever done" after he reportedly confessed to using performance-enhancing drugs.
Now Winfrey's best friend Gayle King reveals the TV star landed the job at the last minute and rushed to come up with 112 pressing questions for the athlete, who was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles over the doping scandal.
TV anchor King tells the New York Daily News, "It all just came together for her within the past week. She was really into it. Because it came together so quickly, she knew what an important interview it was for her. She knew the expectation was, 'Oh, Oprah's gonna throw him puffballs (easy questions).' She also knew that she was going to have to ask the hard questions. And it's not that she's not capable of it; she wanted to make sure she was thoroughly prepared. She wants people to judge for themselves, but it is a big get and she knew everybody wanted it, and she is happy with it. When people talk about this interview on Friday, they're gonna say, 'Wow, Oprah really knocked it out of the park.'"
Winfrey's interview with Armstrong is due to air on her U.S. network OWN in two parts on Thursday and Friday (17-18Jan13).

Western graduate still learning at 83
DANBURY -- When Florence Pilkington moved to Danbury in 1964, she was focused on raising a family and running a business with her husband.
Nearly a half-century later, the 83-year-old Pilkington was focused on receiving her bachelor's degree in studio arts Sunday at Western Connecticut State University's undergraduate commencement ceremonies.
Pilkington was joined by more than 650 members of the Class of 2013 and their families at the Westside Athletic Stadium.
The commencement ceremonies were the 115th in the school's history, President James Schmotter said. The exercises were also the first to be streamed worldwide on the website of the campus radio station, WXCI.
Newtown First Selectman Pat Llodra and former Newtown Superintendent of Schools Janet Robinson were the keynote speakers. The women received the President's Medal from Schmotter for their actions after December's shooting rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School that killed 26 people.
Llodra, a Western alumna, urged the newly minted graduates to find time to provide service to others, embrace the responsibilities of leadership and to make themselves part of a community as they move forward in their lives.
"Your generation possesses the answers to the problems we face today," Llodra said.
Pilkington, who started college at an age when most people pursue less demanding interests, completed a 14-year journey by earning her degree.
But even with her diploma in hand, Pilkington, who has also taken many adult education classes, has no intention of stopping her lifetime of learning.
"I will continue to take courses," she said. "But now, I'm going to audit them."
A Long Island native, Pilkington dropped out of high school when her father's illness forced her to help out with the family business.
Afterward, she worked as a bookkeeper in New York City before she and her late husband, Robert Pilkington, moved to Danbury, where they ran an antiques refinishing and restoration business.
"She was always interested in art," said June Seichter, one of her two children, as Pilkington posed for her official graduation photo. "She raised a family and ran a business with my father, and after he died, she started taking classes."
Although Pilkington was occasionally mistaken for a professor by younger classmates, she achieved her goal by taking a course or two every semester.
"I always liked to go to school," she said.
Robinson, who will begin her duties as superintendent of schools in Stratford on July 1, told graduates that even the little choices they make in life make a difference.
Robinson illustrated her point by describing how she and hundreds of other drivers were trapped on the Tappan Zee Bridge in North Tarrytown, N.Y., for three hours after a tractor-trailer accident.
After an initial period of frustration and anger, many drivers passed the time amicably by sharing food, sodas and conversation.
"We cannot control what happens in life ... but we have to ability to control our responses," Robinson said.

rug design by CHAMO
Marcroy, the director of People of Print who has been featured with us before here, joined the Made By Node team (a non-profit social business) back in April 2012 to help curate and organize a collection of 18 designers from across the globe. Each artist created their own graphic for a signature one of a kind rug design which was then crafted into a fair trade carpet, limited to an edition of 10 per artist. ALL of the proceeds from the rug sales go to support a school of 260 children and an orphanage of nineteen in Nepal. Each rug is hand crafted by Kumbeshwar rug makers and each employee is taught literacy and skills in addition to fair wages. The project already has been receiving some notable recognition from Creative Review, and Telegraph's editor for Tent London. Made by Node will be selling the rugs and exhibiting them alongside Pecha Kucha talks during Fairtrade Fortnight in 2013.
Marcroy continued on to tell me that "the scope for future projects with Node is almost infinite. We are looking to keep the snowball rolling and get more people involved with this amazing project. People can also start getting their own designs crafted at a fee."
Here is the list of the 18 artists that contributed a design for this beneficial community project:
Donna Wilson, Beatrice Alemagna , Sanna Annukka , Petra Borner , Chamo , Benji Davies , Chris Haughton , Clayton Junior , Lesley Barnes , Jon Klassen , Micah Lidberg , Joe Magee , Geoff McFetridge , Neasden Control Centre , Patternity , Serge Seidlitz , Marcroy Smith , Kevin Waldron

FDA Takes Cheerios to Task for Boastful Labels
President Obama isn't just rewriting rules regulating the environment and the financial markets -- he is also going after the food industry.
Target and example No. 1: Cheerios.
"Based on claims made on your product's label," the FDA said in a letter to manufacturer General Mills, "we have determined (Cheerios) is promoted for conditions that cause it to be a drug because the product is intended for use in the prevention, mitigation and treatment of disease."
If the government's enforcement action against Cheerios were to hold up, the cereal would be pulled from grocery shelves and consumers would need a prescription to buy a box of those little oats.
That's unlikely, but experts say the message is clear: There is a new sheriff in town and when it comes to false, misleading and exaggerated labeling, you had better clean up your act.
"It is showing us that there is a new era," says dietician and a former advertising executive Ashley Koff. "They are saying, we are coming into town and we are going to show you what will and won't be allowed, and we're going to be going after every single claim, whether it's on a package or in TV."
Bruce Silverglade of the consumer advocacy group, Center for Science in the Public Interest, said it was a welcome and needed change.
"The Obama administration is reversing course, thank goodness, and enforcing the law," he said. "Cheerios was the first target. We hope though the FDA under the Obama administration clamps down on misleading health claims by other food manufacturers as well.
"During the Bush administration the Food and Drug Administration essentially took a policy of non-enforcement and failed to stop what became increasingly exaggerated claims, first by small food companies and by larger and larger food manufacturers," Silverglade told FOX News.
At issue are two claims made by Cheerios on their cereal box.
1. "Cheerios is clinically proven to reduce cholesterol 4 percent in 6 weeks."
2. "Cheerios can help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, by lowering the 'bad' cholesterol."
Both General Mills and the FDA declined to comment -- but issued statements saying the two sides were in negotiations over the claims that have helped make Cheerios America's best-selling cereal, amounting to one of every 8 boxes of cereal sold in the U.S.
General Mills is a titan of the food business with an army of lawyers. If the FDA can make it back down, others will follow.
"If I were an industry member and I saw what happened with Cheerios, I would look at this example and say the FDA is going after General Mills," said Koff. "If I'm a maker of a small product I better start to look at any study that I am basing my claims on and what I put on my packaging."
Koff argued that the General Mills study was suspect, as the company paid for the research and two staff members helped author it. That is not the type of rigorous, double-blind, peer-reviewed science necessary to back up drug claims.
"What we are seeing today is a government that understands that the obesity problem in America and the disease that is everywhere in America is not solely a consumer responsibility nor is it solely a marketer responsibility," said Koff, who agrees with the FDA action, but said there are many other more egregious cases on store shelves.
Consumers outside a Los Angeles grocery store were less supportive of a move some called "silly" and heavy-handed.
"No, Cheerios should not be regulated by the FDA, because this is not a drug."

Because when this kind of talent is available this late in the draft, it doesn't matter that you are stacked at WR.

According to some this fella would have been one of the top DE's in next year's draft. His past season left much to be desired. Perhaps reuniting with his college HC, Butch Davis, will get him back on the right path.
With their seventh round pick the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select Donte Page-Moss, DE, UNC.

With that, my work here is done for the 2012 NFL Draft. Here is how the Bucs fared.
1) M. Claibourne, CB, LSU
2) S. Gilmore, CB, South Carolina
3) B. Massie, OT, Ole Miss
5) I. Pead, RB, Cincinnati
6) James-Michael Johnson, LB, Nevada
7) D. Page-Moss, DE, UNC
A very nice haul for the Bucs but I won the draft again, this time for Bengals. Thanks to everyone who participated.

T-Mobile Halted, Slips; Announces 1.65M Subscriber Adds In Q4
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Shares of T-Mobile (TMUS) were halted just before the end of trading Wednesday, pending news. After the bell, the Deutsche Telekom carrier announced preliminary fourth quarter numbers, saying it added 1.65 million subscribers in the quarter, for a total of 46.7 million. Branded post-paid churn was at 1.7%, while branded prepaid churn came in at 5.1%.
T-Mobile said it was the third consecutive quarter that it logged more than 1 million customer additions, while branded postpaid net customer additions were the highest since late 2005.
Here are some more details on the quarter, courtesy of Briefing.com:
Branded postpaid net customer additions were 869,000, which represents a 34% improvement compared to the third quarter of 2013.
For the full year 2013, the Company reported branded postpaid net customer additions of 2.0 million, on a pro forma combined basis, above its guidance for branded postpaid net additions of between 1.6 and 1.8 million.
Branded postpaid phone net additions were 800,000, compared to 643,000.
Mobile broadband postpaid net additions, primarily consisting of tablets, were 69,000 in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to 5,000 mobile broadband postpaid net additions in the third quarter of 2013, demonstrating the success of T-Mobile's Un-carrier 3.0.
Branded prepaid net customer additions in the fourth quarter of 2013 showed both sequential and year-over-year improvement. T-Mobile had 112,000 branded prepaid additions, which represents an improvement of 88,000 compared to the third quarter of 2013. Branded prepaid net customer additions in the fourth quarter of 2013 were impacted by continued migrations of approximately 120,000 from branded prepaid to branded postpaid. Wholesale net customer additions in the fourth quarter of 2013 were 664,000, compared to 351,000 in the third quarter of 2013 and 410,000 in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Branded postpaid churn of 1.7% in the fourth quarter of 2013 was consistent sequentially but declined 80 basis points year-over-year. The 80 basis point decline in churn represents the best quarterly year-over-year churn improvement in 2013.
Branded prepaid churn of 5.1% in the fourth quarter of 2013 was up 10 basis points sequentially and up 20 basis points year-over-year.
T-Mobile has been much in the news of late; investors—and AT&T (T)--have been expecting an announcement from the company at the Consumer Electronics Show, where Tiernan Ray is blogginglive. Earlier this week analysts suggested it was time to take profits in Sprint (S), as hopes of an immediate merger between the carrier and T-Mobile faded.
Update: Shares traded down 14 cents, or 0.4%, to $33.11, in the after-hours session after the halt was lifted.

Italian cashmere V-neck cardigan sweater
We're sorry. This item has been so popular, it has sold out.
We've got other great ideas - just call us at 434 385 5775, we're here to help.
Prices do not include taxes.
Product Details
You asked, we listened: We kept hearing that our cashmere was pilling too easily (because we wanted it supersoft, it was knit more loosely), so we decided to make a change... This new style has been knit more tightly, so it should pill less. The tradeoff is that it might not feel as soft at first, but just give it time. P.S. Hand-washing your cashmere is the way to go, just trust us on that.
- Italian cashmere.
- Bracelet sleeves.
- Rib trim at cuffs and hem.
- Hand wash.
- We recommend folding (never hanging) and storing in tissue paper.
- Import.

Allen Champion, vice president of Snead State Community College, retired from the school last month after 27 years in public education.
Allen Champion, vice president of Snead State Community College, retired from the school last month after 27 years in public education.
Champion, who served as administrative assistant to Gadsden Mayor David Nolen, worked in the Guntersville City School System from 1989 to 1997. He then went to Snead as director of development and later was named vice president.
He said the daily interaction with students is what he'll miss the most.
Other highlights of his career including chairing the 2003 reaffirmation visit that led to the best Southern Association of Colleges and Schools review in the college's history, and obtaining with the help of the late Sen. Hinton Mitchem, D-Union Grove, a $300,000 permanent legislative appropriation that helped retrain displaced workers from the H.D. Lee plant closings. Funds also were used to wire the campus and place a computer in every staff and faculty office.
"This provided the necessary foundation for the college to become a leader in online course offerings statewide," Champion said.
Champion said the management team during the majority of his tenure at Snead allowed students to obtain degrees with some of the lowest tuition and fee rates in the state.
"We were also able to pass on to the new president in 2008 a $9 million cash reserve and a million dollars a year positive cash flow," he said.
"It has been a pleasure to serve the citizens in this area, and I would like to thank the faculty and staff for their hard work and dedication during my service at the college," he said.
Champion also thanked his wife, Betty, and daughters, Courtney and Corrine, for "their unwavering support."

We'll have to sit through the movie first and foremost. By the time that is released on Blu-Ray, we're looking at mid-2012 before KyoAni could decide to make a third season.
I too think it's only a matter of time, but they also don't want to hasten it, because otherwise, it won't last long enough to be remembered. So, late 2012/early 2013 is when I would expect a third season.
As for how they'd adapt the manga, I'm pretty sure the manga will be bundled into one once all the chapters for this volume have been released, so it would make sense if they did that with the anime as well.
Of course, first, we'll have to see if we'll ever get a third season.

Well with Azusa not with the main four at this point, Mio goes back to being the center of the moe attention.
We will see if Azusa keeps that roll in the high school group, or if that title will pass to the new member (assuming they get to keep her).

I've enjoyed the direction so far and like that there will be multiple competing bands in the new club.
Also interesting is that so far (granted it's only been 2 issues) the manga has been Mio & Ritsu centric, which makes sense because with all the girls living together the most dynamic ones are likely to be pushed to the front.

oh, thanks to all who replied. it's kinda clear to me now. (although the title was quite confusing. like, K-On! Restarted? i thought it was about their HS days again.)
o just hope that K-on will still be "hip" once the new season is finally made into an anime. (because there are so many animes that comes out these days, that surely, something will pick up the concept of moe-filled rockstars/musicians/students, and probably fill in the gap that k-on left as an anime). i'll wait for it, even if it takes, well, 2013. i just hope people aren't that forgetful. every anime fades as time goes by.

Light Music Club....high school or college...doesn't matter...just that it is a Light Music Club.
Means it "might not" continue after they graduate from all schooling...or it will title change to HTT. Because them it is a band manga at that point.

By Los Angeles News Group editorial board
Gov. Jerry Brown isn't ready to ease the ecology-minded rules about carpool lanes, so L.A. County drivers are stuck with the status quo for now.
Brown has vetoed a bill that would have opened high-occupancy-vehicle lanes on parts of the 134 and 210 Freeways to solo drivers in non-rush hours. The bill, by Assemblyman Mike Gatto, D-Burbank, had zoomed through the Legislature with only one "no" vote. And rightly so, since the pilot program could have improved traffic flow by moving some vehicles out of other lanes.
Brown vetoed that bill on the same day he signed a bill extending HOV-lane access for solo drivers of electric cars, plug-in hybrids and alternative-fuel vehicles, and OK'd other measures to promote the use of "green" vehicles.
The overall message is clear: Brown won't risk diminishing the incentive for motorists to carpool by letting solo drivers have even limited access to the HOV lanes.
Never mind that bumper-to-bumper traffic can't be good for the environment.
The Gatto bill would have established a one-year experiment. The plan could have been canceled if was causing problems. Brown owed it to Southern Californians to find out what the effects would have been.

Bail tripled for man accused of impregnating 11-year-old girl
A judge on Thursday tripled the bail for a 21-year-old man who prosecutors said raped and impregnated an 11-year-old.
Deandre Devon Davis-Williams is charged with continuous sexual abuse of a child. State District Judge Brock Thomas raised the bail for Davis-Williams to $150,000 from $50,000. He was being held Thursday at the Harris County Jail, court records show.
The girl gave birth on Thursday to a healthy baby, according to the Harris County District Attorney's Office.
Almost every day for seven months, authorities said, Davis-Williams raped the girl, a neighbor, when she got home from school.
She told police that Davis-Williams began coming to her apartment last summer through a back door while her mother was at work at two jobs, according to a criminal complaint filed in the case.
Davis-Williams lives in the same apartment complex as the girl, said DA's spokeswoman Sara Marie Kinney.
Prosecutors said he attacked the girl from June 1, 2012, to Jan. 1.
School officials called the girl's mother to say they believed she was pregnant, according to the complaint.
A doctor's visit in January determined that the child was seven months pregnant, according to prosecutors.
'Extra sick'
Kinney said it's not a foregone conclusion that the mother would know her daughter was pregnant.
"It's not a normal pregnancy because it's an 11-year-old with an underdeveloped body," she said. "Not only that, but if you have a kid and she's gaining weight or she doesn't feel good, she's 11, so you don't even go there in your mind."
Kinney said higher-level offenses that involve the continuous sexual assault of a child "are far and few between than just the average sexual assault. You have these bad guys out there, but this one is extra sick."
Davis-Williams did not enter a plea at the court appearance on Thursday. The judge appointed Joe Owmby as defense attorney.
Estella Olguin, spokeswoman at Texas Child Protective Services, would neither confirm nor deny whether CPS was involved in the case. She said sexual assaults of young girls are not uncommon, although most victims do not become pregnant.
"In many cases like this, the victims usually know their perpetrators, who have easy access of contact with the victims without it being suspicious to anyone," she said. "In many cases, the victims know them, love them and trust them. They gain their trust, and then have them keep the secret."
Effects on child
Dr. Adrienne Tinder, staff psychologist at DePelchin Children's Center, said the center is not involved in the girl's case, but she offered insight into the effect that such cases can have on families.
"This kind of experience can be traumatic and have a ripple effect in families, the extent of which is sometimes not understood for years," Tinder stated in an email. "When traumatic events like this happen early in childhood, particularly while a child is still developing a sense of self and their sense of the world, there can be great impact on both cognitive and emotional development."
"Sexual activity and/or a birth of a child where the mother herself is still a developing child can lead to long-term difficulties and challenges in forming a healthy identity and relationships," Tinder said.

|Attention: DocWiki has reached EOL and will be decommissioned January 25, 2019.
Cisco WAAS Troubleshooting Guide for Release 4.1.3 and Later -- Troubleshooting NAM Integration
From DocWiki
This article describes how to troubleshoot the integration of Network Analysis Module (NAM) into the WAAS Central Manager.
The Cisco Network Analysis Module (NAM) is a standalone network analysis product that you can access through the WAAS Central Manager if you have a NAM server installed in your network. This article describes how to troubleshoot the integration of NAM into the WAAS Central Manager.
NOTE: Support for NAM integration into the WAAS Central Manager was introduced in WAAS version 4.4.1. This section is not applicable to earlier WAAS versions.
Connectivity Issues
If you are unable to connect to NAM from the WAAS Central Manager, do the following:
- In the Central Manager GUI, choose Configure > Network Analysis Module (Beta) > Basics > Setup and ensure that NAM server address and credentials are entered correctly, then click Test Connectivity/Credentials. All of the address, user, and password fields should show a green check mark to indicate success. Any fields that show a red X are configured incorrectly.
- Ensure that the NAM HTTP or HTTPS server is enabled.
- Ensure that the NAM server IP address and port are reachable both from the Central Manager and from the client computer on which you are running the browser to access the Central Manager. You should be able to use the same IP address and port to access the NAM server from both machines, regardless of whether NAT is involved.
- Check your browser settings. In Internet Explorer, you may need to revert to the default settings in the Security and Privacy tabs of Tools > Internet Options, then change the Privacy setting to Low.
- If you are using the NAM HTTPS server, the NAM self-signed certificate may not be installed in the browser. Manually add the NAM self-signed certificate into your browser. Alternatively, you can launch the NAM user interface in a separate browser tab or window and accept and install the certificate, which allows you to view the integrated charts.
If you are unable to directly telnet into the NAM server, use the exsession on command on the NAM console
Rendering Issues
If the NAM page does not render properly or some action buttons on NAM do not work, it is likely due to an incompatible browser version. The NAM server has the following browser requirements:
- Internet Explorer 8 or later, or Firefox 3.6 or later
- Java version 6 update 22 or later
- Adobe Flash 10.0.45.2 or later (install the latest version from Adobe)
If you get the message, "Navigation to the webpage was canceled" when you click on a NAM report, log out of the Central Manager and log in again. When the browser asks if you want to view only the content delivered securely, click "No" to show all content. The Central Manager data is based on HTTPS and NAM access uses HTTP by default, so the browser must be able to show both secure (HTTPS) and unsecure (HTTP) content.
Chart Data Issues
Charts Show Unexpected Results
If the charts show unexpected results, this is likely caused by lack of clock synchronization. If the clock on the client machine running the browser is not synchronized, you may see the following error on the page: Client or NAM time incorrect. Ensure that the clocks on the client machine running the browser, the NAM server, and the WAAS Central Manager are synchronized. One way to do this is by configuring an NTP server on all three machines.
Transaction Time Over Time Charts Show Zig-Zag Pattern
This chart pattern is common in POC scenarios where there is usually only one flow traversing the WAAS network. NAM's default granularity for response time metrics is five minutes. If the flow duration is greater than five minutes and less than ten minutes, and this is done continuously in a loop, it still results in a zig-zag pattern because the FA flows are reported by WAEs to NAM only after they end.
Throughput > Network Charts Show Unusual Router Interface Names
The router interfaces may be displayed as if2, if15, and so on, instead of actual interface names such as GigaE 0/0, Tunnel0, and so on. To see the correct router interface names, configure the netflow data source with SNMP credentials/community strings. In the Central Manager GUI, choose Configure > Network Analysis Module (Beta) > Advanced > Data Sources. Select the Netflow data source and edit it and provide SNMP credentials/community string.
Charts Show Higher Volume Than Expected
Charts may show higher than expected volume due to double counting. Filter to a specific data source to avoid double counting.
Data Sources Do Not Show on NAM
If a data source does not show on NAM, it could be due to network or firewall issues. Ensure Netflow is enabled on UDP port 3000 and flow-monitor on TCP port 7878, and they are not blocked by a firewall.
Flow Agent Connection Issues Persist
If Flow Agent connection issues persist, disable the flow monitor on the WAEs, restart NAM, and reenable the flow monitor on the WAEs. You can control the flow monitor setting from the Central Manager GUI on the Configure > Monitoring > Flow Monitor page.
Top Talkers Data Discrepancy
You may see a discrepancy in byte count between Top Talkers Detail and Top N Applications in Top Talkers Summary due to a difference in the way these two reports count traffic:
- Top Talkers Detail counts payload bytes only
- Top Talkers Overview counts packet header and payload bytes
Higher Than Expected Throughput on Top Application or Application Throughput Charts
If netflow is enabled on both LAN and WAN interfaces on the same router, when a netflow data source is selected, the Throughput > Top applications and Application charts show aggregated throughput, which is the sum of the LAN and WAN throughput. To get accurate throughput data, either change the data source to WAAS flow agent, PA, or change the netflow export to limit results to only the WAN interface.
No Passthrough Data Shown on the Performance Analysis > Application page
Make sure that the WAAS data sources are configured with the correct segments selected. The recommended configuration is to have the branch WAE configured with Client and Pass-through segments, and the server side WAE configured with Server WAN and Server segments.
Why Is There a Difference in Statistics When Different Data Sources Are Selected?
The netflow data source reflects data through the netflow export device (router/switch) and the FA data source reflects data intercepted by WAAS.

Some say artistic talent is innate. Other claim it's the result of hard work. Whatever it is, this Japanese third grader has it.
On November 24, a Japanese Twitter user named Shin_Toto uploaded the above image online, writing, "My daughter's (third grade) drawing. Ball point pen on A4 photocopy paper. What's the best way for her to develop this talent..."
The photo has since gone viral in Japan and has been retweeted over 22,000 times, with countless people offering advice and encouragement.
"Twitter's spreading power is so overwhelming," Shin_Toto tweeted. "Never in my wildest dreams would I ever imagine anything like this happening."
According to Shin_Toto, the young girl has been drawing every day since she was three years old, adding, "I want her to continue like this, doing what she likes to do".
That's all Shin_Toto can do. Spot talent, encourage what makes them happy, but ultimately let the child do what she or he wants to do.

Steer It Right - Power Steering ConversionPosted in How To on July 1, 2013
Old Jeep steering systems are replete with problems. Whether the systems have way more joints than a modern steering setup or they have no power assist. One leads to slop and a half-a-turn on the steering wheel before the Jeep goes where you want it to while the other results in wrestling the wheel with bigger tires off-road. Either way, a lot of older Jeeps can benefit from a modern Saginaw power steering conversion.
When we got this '51 CJ-3A the previous owner had the same idea about the steering. It had some good parts already in it, but there were some major issues with the execution of the conversion which could have resulted in a loss of control if we were to unleash the Jeep into the wild.
Rather than try to junkyard together some parts like the previous owner, we contacted the experts at Borgeson for some information, advice, and ultimately some parts to put the steering right in our new-to-us V-8-powered flattie.

HEI, union reach agreement
After more than three years of discord, HEI Hotels & Resorts and labor union Unite Here apparently have resolved their differences involving labor practices at several hotels controlled by the Norwalk-based hospitality investment firm.
HEI and the labor union, which represents 270,000 workers in U.S. and Canada in the hotel, gaming, food service, manufacturing, textile, distribution, laundry and airport industries, on Tuesday said they have formed a partnership focused on mutual growth and improving industry-wide labor relations.
While details of the agreement are not being announced, both sides said in a joint statement that the agreement resolves all ongoing matters between the union and HEI.
"Today marks a milestone for the hotel industry and organized labor," said HEI CEO Anthony Rutledge, in prepared comments. "For decades, organized labor and hotel owners have struggled to create a format to share ideas and concerns openly, honestly and in a positive manner. The long-term partnership we forged with Unite Here will now change that, with improvements that will be mutually beneficial to HEI, Unite Here and the broader hotel industry."
A spokesperson for HEI was unavailable to expand on Rutledge's comments.
In 2011, a California State Labor Commission hearing officer ordered the Embassy Suites hotel in Irvine, Calif., sold by HEI in 2010 but then managed by the company, to pay eight workers $41,000 after determining that they were denied rest breaks.
Upon the urging of Unite Here, Ivy League schools, including Princeton, Yale and Brown universities and the University of Pennsylvania said they would no longer invest in HEI, after the union complained that the company was engaging in unfair labor practices at several of its hotels.
A spokesman for HEI in March 2012 said that Unite Here was engaged in a campaign to unionize its employees without giving them the right to a secret ballot election.
United Here has agreed to immediately terminate its campaign and activities against HEI and its hotels, investors, clients, guests, partners and representatives. The agreement also provides a framework for HEI and Unite Here to cooperate and evolve, according to the announcement.
"We are excited about a more collaborative relationship with HEI Hotels that will benefit both the company and hotel workers nationwide," said D. Taylor, president of Unite Here in prepared comments. "Working together, we can ensure that open dialogue on such important issues will have long standing benefits for all constituents."
A spokesperson for Unite Here was unavailable for comment.
HEI acquires, develops, owns and operates hotels and resorts throughout the United States under such brand families as Marriott, Starwood, Hilton, Hyatt and IHG.
The company, which has amassed about $2 billion in hotel properties, operates three hospitality investment funds and has been a partner since 2002 in a joint venture with Prudential Real Estate Investors. HEI is the operating partner of the platform, which owns three full-service hotels.

Mumbai: After working with names like Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn, actress Sonakshi Sinha is now excited about working with Saif Ali Khan in 'Bullet Raja'. She considers it a "fresh pairing".
"It`s a very fresh pairing and I am looking forward to work with Saif Ali Khan. I actually wanted to work with him for quite some time, and luckily got an opportunity with `Bullet Raja`. I am extremely excited to work with Saif," Sonakshi said.
'Bullet Raja', directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia, is set around Uttar Pradesh-based mafia.
The shooting of the movie has already begun, but Sonakshi will join the crew in February 2013.
"I believe they have already started shooting the film. I was busy shooting for `Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai 2` and `Dabangg 2`, so I will join the crew of `Bullet Raja` in February," she said.
Sonakshi isn`t sure where her parts will be shot, but says she might have to travel to Uttar Pradesh.
The actress, who made her Bollywood debut with 'Dabangg' in 2010, says she is happy with the roles she has received.
She says, "Luckily I am doing some good films, and I am fortunate to be part of `Lootera`, which has been a tough role and different," she said.
In Vikramaditya Motwane`s 'Lootera', Sonakshi features opposite Ranveer Singh.
