As can be seen in the digital image featured above, mitochondria occupy a significant percentage of the cytoplasmic volume of eukaryotic cells. The important organelles, which frequently change shape and move about the cell, are considered to have been indespensible for the evolution of complex animals due to their key role in energy production. Indeed, if animal cells did not contain mitochondria, they would be required to solely depend upon anaerobic glycolysis for all ATP generation, a process that only releases a minute fraction of the potentially obtainable total free energy from glucose. By completing the metabolism of the sugar, mitochondria enable the generation of 15 times more ATP than simple anaerobic glycolysis.
The adherent monolayer HJ1.Ov cell culture presented in the digital image above was labeled for the cytoskeletal filamentous actin and intracellular mitochondrial networks with Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated to phalloidin and MitoTracker Red CMXRos, respectively. Nuclei present in the epithelial cells were counterstained with the DNA-selective bisbenzimide dye, Hoechst 33258. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Analyst: Jobs Data Will Keep Fed From Tapering
Employers added fewer jobs than expected in July. This could keep the Fed from tapering later this fall, Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com says on MoneyBeat.

... ay ay mm mm ... fewer jobs than expected in July ... we just fall more people dropping out of Liverpool ... what does this mean for consumer confidence was indeed the economy was weak for where we're going ... great McBride senior financial analyst at Bankrate dot com ... joins MoneyBeat this morning to talk about it ... the numbers at eight thirty am what did you make of this report ... not it doesn't get a warm and fuzzy feeling all mean is you know that the job numbers came in lower than expected ... both May and June were revised lower ... average hourly earnings up less than two percent year over year that's barely enough to keep pace with inflation ... and half of the job growth that we didn't see this month ... came from retail ... the food and drinking establishments that are not high paying jobs ... thank you and I are overdrawn of water from the same well ... the thing to say things ... for a long time I think you need to look at not just the number of jobs created but the kinds of jobs created ... and I think people are catching on to that I think when you look at the GDP numbers we got this week when you look at how much how little growth there really isn't the economy ... half the understand that we're not creating the kinds of jobs that will really get the economy go ... that so what the media why can't we get this economy out of first year its a gives people have lost their money the Ferrari ... and don't let's not overlook the fact that there's over a million people ... that are working ... to working part-time even though they would prefer to work for ... him so ... ill I think what's gonna grab a lot of headlines here is the fact that the unemployment rate dipped to seven point four percent I like this this that entirely ... when you add even more than a million people that are working part-time us the nearly two mapping people ... that are counted as unemployed simply because they're ... looking for work ... the unemployment rate for like fourteen percent that was down a little bit from Judith still higher than it was in the spring so again ... this labor market is not hitting the cover off the ball by any means ... what does this mean we know now that we had ... a GDP growth in the first half of the year ... was about one point four percent had a great number ... what do you see in terms of the second half ... in terms of growth ... and ... consumer confidence in the ...

Our 20 years old sofa has been magically restored by Squeaky Clean Sofa Melbourne. We had no idea that it can look this good after a thorough cleaning but these guys did a fantastic job. And the best part is that they didn't use any strong chemicals in the cleaning process, thereby keeping our sofa and the environment safe. A recommended service provided indeed.

Owning a leather sofa is amazing but maintaining it is a task. I didn't know how to bring that original luster back to my leather sofa until I found Squeaky Clean Sofa. Thankfully now I don't have to worry about my leather sofa as these people take care of it. I call them once in every six months and they restore my sofa to its original look and feel. Thanks to Squeaky Clean Sofa Melbourne, I am planning to buy a new leather recliner soon.

So this is on her behalf – thank you to the entire team of Squeaky Clean Sofa for a lovely stain removal service. – Christina Koch

T-This... This is a date episode isn't it ? I mean, this is as close as a date episode as we'll get from this show isn't it ?! With Satoshi and Mayaka conveniently absent aside from the club-room, this is finally a proper date episode isn't it?!
And it looks like the theme in the preview is the same

On topic, I felt this was a lovely episode both content-wise and visual. I loved the change from afternoon to twilight while they were in the library. It really felt moving.
Edit: I also found it interesting and quite correct that this episode is the only one without an English title at the end. Fitting since it's the only short story not published in one of the novels.

The mystery was meh, didn't care but LOL the first half. Houtarou got infected by Chitanda's curiosity....QUARANTINE HIM! Seriously their reactions were so hilarious and made sense considering this is a guy who prides himself on doing nothing. Nice breather episode for sure.

hmm... dating in public library sounds good...
kinda plain but okay for me!
I like everyone's reaction when Houtarou said he's curious about something
umm... Dung beetles are cute?? are you serious, Chitanda???
in the end, there isn't too complex mystery... simple one but at least there's significant development in this couple... I wonder what Chitanda want to say because she looks blushing there.. ^^
hmm... trying to unsolve your teacher's past sounds interesting for me... let's try it!

Hyouka is an interesting series in that the character development is so slow that you almost don't notice it's happening – but it's there. The end of Kanya Festa was like a moment when you stand next to a 14 year-old relative you see frequently and realizing to your astonishment that he's grown six inches, and you never noticed. It was a little more stark with Satoshi and Mayaka, but no less apparent with Houtarou – and he's been developing at a glacial pace all along, even through the pre-Kanya arcs.
For my money, I still find Satoshi and Mayaka the more interesting pair. Chitanda has evolved the least of the main cast – she's still largely a plot driver and comic device (and she excels as both), still mired in her disconnected world where mansions are "average" and life is full of new wonders waiting to be discovered. But Houtarou's journey from a clichéd teenage version of The Dude (The Dude Abides) to fully-vested member of society has become far more interesting than I ever expected. And undeniably Chitanda is a major component of that – if she hasn't developed much, she's an indispensable element of Houtarou's development and that makes her totally crucial to everything that happens in Hyouka. If the series spends its last month on well-crafted idyll I'm sure I'll enjoy it, but I'm spoiled now – Kanya Festa left this cast in a fascinating place, and I really want to see where the road takes them from here.

With that out of the way, we get to see a different side to Houtarou this episode. One where he's developing a sensitivity about how he comes across to others, how he represents others . . . or, at least, whether what he says to others is substantive, rather than some glib throwaway line that's ultimately wrong. He starts out the episode with just such a line that, upon closer inspection, turns out to be in-doubt when neither Mayaka nor Satoshi seemed to recall events in the same way that he did.
One suspects that Houtarou, at the beginning of the series, might've shrugged his shoulders and went "whatever. Finding out the truth would waste energy." This time, he decides to look into it. His Classics Club chums, used to having to drag him kicking and screaming into things they need done, are naturally shocked by this development. Satoshi's over-the-top reaction was good for an initial laugh, but annoyed me after the first two seconds of it. Mayaka's reaction was better played, the concern in her voice completely belied by the expression on her face. Chitanda's reaction . . . typical Chitanda ... What could be so important to Houtarou Oreki that he gets off his ass to go find out more about it? Don't know, but it sure seems like it'd be fun to tag along!
Afterwards, it's just Houtarou and Chitanda, headed to the library. She offers him a ride, which he turns down. I'd say that it's safe to say that he's over what infatuation he might've had with her in the early part of the series. Instead, he puts her to work, having her do some spading in the time it'd take him to mosey on over to the library. Remembering his comical failure with kanji during the Cultural Festival arc, he's careful to spell it out to Chitanda.
At the library, Chitanda's spading confirms Houtarou's suspicions about why his old English teacher would have so many close calls with lightning. He then asks the library to find papers from the day he remembered the teacher watching the police helicopters. The answer to the mystery then becomes obvious to everybody, but Chitanda (who, at least, realized that something significant happened on 9 May of three years before); but we get some quality time between Chitanda and Houtarou, while we wait for the reveal.
The reveal . . . Houtarou's English teacher was focused on the helicopter that day because a couple of his mountaineering buddies were trapped on a mountainside in bad weather (they died.) Houtarou's glib remark at the start of the episode turns out to be tragically incorrect.
At the end of the episode, Chitanda presses Houtarou on why he wanted to look into the matter. The interesting thing here, and through much of this episode, is the look we get into how Chitanda sees Houtarou, and how that contrasts with how Houtarou sees Chitanda.
Chitanda sees him as someone who is very selfless, doing things for other people, but not so much for himself. Her estimation of him, and his sensitivity, grows when he tells her that he wants to be careful about how he represents the feelings of other people. She likes Houtarou. She offers him mushrooms. She asks about places he wants to see. She's touched when he shows a sensitive side.
Houtarou sees things differently. He finds her to be quite rude, far too readily excitable, and sees the fact that she was willing to accompany him on his quest as just a debt to be repaid. One that his expression suggests that, once it's paid, all that will happen is that they'll just be even.
What does all this mean? Perhaps it means that someone is going to be in for a firm adjustment of their expectations . . . either way, this is a good episode for one where not much really happens. Seven framed copies of Hyouka out of ten.

You know something? I think Chitanda might be on the verge of having a crush on Hotaru. We already know that there are hints of a crush in the other direction too. Over all though, this feels like a low key, very relaxing story, so I'm rating it highly, because this is exactly what Hyouka promises and delivers with excellence.
Speaking of which, is it safe to tell us which volume of Hyouka are we on right now, to get a sense whether there is enough material for another 26 episodes of this wonderful slice of life anime?

Ogi and helicopters - the hidden truth.
Looks like they're back to their old patterns.
Oreki being curious? Now that's a new one.
The library visit with Chitanda was kinda nice.
That girl sure is interested easily.
Well, at least they found out what really happened.
It was a pretty interesting story too.

On the other hand, Chitanda starts out the series seeming to mostly see him for what he can do to help her resolve her unanswered questions about her missing uncle. Every time he comes through for her, it increases her estimation of him, and increases the emotional attachment she feels toward him. She's more apt to want to get to know him better, to be kinder to him, and to be aware of him as a healthy young man. All culminating in that very dere-dere look she gives him near the end of the episode.
Houtarou seems to be aware of just what Chitanda thinks of him (or, at least, he seems to think he does); and how it differs from how he sees her. Witness his imagined bike-ride scenarios. Houtarou riding on the back of Chitanda's bike looks even less pleased than usual. Chitanda riding as Houtarou's co-pilot seems to be in complete bliss. He either doesn't like it, or (as has been said,) he's very much afraid of failing to meet her expectations should he dare to return those feelings. To the point that, where when she praises him with that look I mentioned earlier . . . he shoots her down.
To answer your other question . . . no. By the end of the 22 episode run, KyoAni will have covered four of the five extant books. Either they'd have to dramatically expand the adaptation, or more books would have to come out . . . which, given the irregular schedule with which the author writes them, seems to be unlikely in the immediate future.

Japanese Kigurumi Cosplay Pajamas
PJ day, every day!
- Oh hai, Japan! Thanks for inventing these!
- Cosplay pajamas transform you into an animal
- Choose from 10 cozy styles
The word Kigurumi comes from a combination of two Japanese words: kiru ("to wear") and nuigurumi ("stuffed toy"). Looking at the pictures here, it's clear that donning a kigurumi instantly transforms you into an adorable animal. (Or in some cases, a skeleton!) Traditionally, kigurumi referred to the performers wearing the costume, but the word has since grown to include the costumes themselves. In Japan, kigurumi costumes are worn as a way to break the conventions of traditional dress or just as comfy pajamas!
We've been wearing these around the ThinkGeek office for our officially sanctioned Pajama Day (Monday, in case you're wondering) and we love them. It's all the comfort of those sleeved blankets but with added mobility and cuteness. Made of soft and snuggly fleece, Kigurumi Cosplay Pajamas are perfect for a day at the office, a lazy Sunday at home, or a hot date with someone who loves pandas. They're even machine washable, so go on, eat a lasagna while dressed in a Tabby Cat kigurumi.
Product Specifications
- Regular PJs are boring, get your sleep on Japanese-style
- Loose fitting cosplay pajamas in various adorable and fun styles
- Perfect for sleeping, lazy days at home, or lazy cosplay at a convention
- Choose Blue Unicorn, Corgi, Dinosaur, Fox, Hedgehog, Owl, Panda, Red Panda, Sloth, or Tabby Cat
- Material: Soft & snuggly polyester fleece with elasticized wrist and ankle cuffs
- Size: One-size-fits-all. They are extremely loose fitting and can accommodate most humans who are at least five feet tall.
- Tall geeks: If you are over six feet tall, the wrist and ankle cuffs may not make it all the way to your wrists and ankles (but don't let that stop you from wearing it!).
- More-to-love geeks: The bagginess of a Kigurumi means there's a ton of room in the chest and waist. The limiting factor for most folks is the shoulder width, so check that below.
- Machine Washable:
- Turn your kigurumi inside out.
- Wash on Cold using your "Normal" setting.
- Dry using "Air Dry" or "Fluff" setting (no heat) or hang to dry.
- Dimensions (laying flat):
- Sleeve length: 22.8"
- Shoulder width: 22.4"
- Width (armpit to armpit): 25.2"

I was thinking along the lines of someone saying the only way that Abi will not get the boot is if hell freezes over, and then something happens and she doesn't go at the next tribal council
Penner shot himself in the foot by not agreeing to an end deal sooner.
The jury has to have an odd number.
I said it last week - Penner not agreeing to that Final Three alliance with Lisa and Skupin was the dumbest move I have seen in a long time - especially from a returnee - and I was right. Cya Penner - your third attempt at Survivor has ruined my perspective of you from your previous attempts.
Sorry racer, it was hard reading through your commentary when it was so one sided in favour of Abi, whom all of us hated and I didn't appreciate it.

There are few designers working today who have had as big an influence on fashion as Giorgio Armani.
Founding his company in Milan in 1975, he modernized the suit, giving it a relaxed, soft silhouette, and created a daytime uniform of power and success that defined men's and women's style for two decades. He banished the ugly red-carpet excesses of the 1980s and introduced a modern way of dressing beginning in 1990, when his sleek Oscar-night designs for Michelle Pfeiffer and Jodie Foster transformed Hollywood from tacky to tasteful overnight.
Since then, he's dressed seemingly every star in the universe and parlayed his minimalist cool into a global empire encompassing 650 stores worldwide, Armani hotels and eight brands selling such disparate items as Armani sofas and Armani chocolates, plus eyewear in collaboration with Luxottica and fragrance and cosmetics with L'Oreal.
But increasingly, it's not the 78-year-old taut and tanned Giorgio who is the public face of his multibillion-dollar brand but his 43-year-old niece, Roberta Armani. Like most of the big fashion houses in Italy, Giorgio has always kept his family members close, and several of them hold or have held top positions in the company. But Roberta is the most visible, perhaps even the heir apparent, who during two weeks in April traveled to Madrid for the opening of an Emporio Armani boutique, back home to Milan for the Armani Casa presentation at the Salone del Mobile design week and then to Los Angeles to host the Armani-sponsored opening party for the Paris Photo fair.
As brand ambassador, her role is to be a model of effortless Armani elegance on the red carpet and to encourage celebrities to do the same. Being a friend to Hollywood can mean holding Anne Hathaway's hand during an Oscar gown fitting in London or hosting a dinner in Beverly Hills for Sean Penn and his Haitian relief organization and handing over a $500,000 donation "on behalf of Mr. Armani."
It's easy to see why Giorgio has chosen her. Roberta is a bubbly brunet who gives a hug by way of introduction instead of a handshake. In contrast to her uncle, there is nothing intimidating about her. She has polished good looks and a camera-ready smile. On this particular day, in the sunny offices above the Rodeo Drive Armani boutique, she's not dressed in a suit but in a pleated print skirt and matching sandals from the spring Armani collection.
"Roberta brings the aesthetic Giorgio created into the 21st century in a very feminine way," says activist, attorney and former Santa Monica Mayor Bobby Shriver, who has known Roberta for more than 20 years and counts the Armani brand as a donor to his Product Red and Special Olympics charities. "[Armani] didn't have a person within the company who spoke as a woman to women. She's become a lot more than Giorgio's niece. She's become a force in her own right."
"She's a supernatural when it comes to public relations and celebrity dealings," says J.J. Martin, a Milan-based journalist who has covered fashion and design for more than a decade. "She's also young and attractive and makes good Armani-clad arm candy for her uncle or for any one of the million celebrities that he dresses. She's a fundamental link to him, both internally and externally."
But more than just looking great in the clothes, Roberta Armani has "a tough mindedness," Shriver says, that's similar to her uncle's. To that end, she is never afraid to voice her opinion, especially if she thinks the button-down shirt-and-T-shirt combo you're wearing makes "you look like a dope," he says.
Roberta was born in 1970 and raised in Milan by her father, Sergio Armani (Giorgio's brother), who launched the lower-priced Emporio Armani line in 1981. At age 16, she moved to New York City for a summer to work as a saleswoman at the Emporio Armani boutique on Madison Avenue and to study English, which she now speaks almost flawlessly. She was surprised to see how devoted people were to the Armani brand. "I was so honored," she says. But before she went to work in the family business, she tried acting, landing a few minor parts. In 2000, she stepped into an official role at the company, taking charge of the global brand and entertainment relations when her uncle saw her talent for communicating with people. "My work could not reflect better my personality," says Roberta, whose sister Silvana Armani and cousin Andrea Camerana work on the design and commercial sides of the business, respectively.
When she's not traveling, she is at home in Milan, where she lives next to the convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie, home of Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper."
When asked about the speculation that she will be the one to take over if and when her uncle retires, she demurs. "He's got a great network of managers, and he's a man of incredible energy," she says. "He's going to live forever."
Giorgio, who has no children, has always been a guiding presence in Roberta's life, especially after her father died in 1993.
Over the years, he's taught her a lot about style. "For one, when you enter room, it's important to be noticed," she says. "Another, before you leave the house, always look in the mirror and take a few things off, because there's always too much."
When Roberta was 20, they attended a film premiere together in Berlin and Giorgio didn't like the dress she was wearing. So he took off his tuxedo vest and pants, pulled out a needle and thread, and altered them to fit his niece. "His motto and the motto he raised me on, is 'Make the world more beautiful,'" she says.
Over the years, they've bonded over their love of movies. (His favorite is Alfred Hitchcock's "Notorious" from 1946; hers is Martin Scorsese's "Kundun" from 1997.) "Hollywood has been his whole influence," she says. (Armani has provided costumes for nearly 200 films, including "American Gigolo" and "The Untouchables.") "And I'm proud that he was one of the first to understand the importance of the entertainment industry and how celebrities influence the market and sales."
Armani opened his sprawling flagship in Beverly Hills 25 years ago, when it was the first luxury temple of its kind on Rodeo Drive, and hired Wanda McDaniel, a former journalist who is married to "Godfather" and "Million Dollar Baby" producer Al Ruddy, to dress the Hollywood elite. McDaniel works closely with Roberta, trading emails 24/7 to coordinate VIP needs around the globe.
Roberta travels to L.A. several times a year and moves easily in the Hollywood community. Because celebrity guests have always been invited to Armani runway shows in Milan, Roberta was drawn into her uncle's starry world at a young age. When a 17-year-old Leonardo DiCaprio was visiting Milan, Roberta, who was not much older, was asked to take him out for a night on the town. ("I always loved Leo because he's a very curious person. He asks a million questions," she says. "I love people who are curious, it's a symptom of intelligence.") The relationship with DiCaprio is still going strong; Armani is providing vintage 1990s suits for his upcoming film "Wolf of Wall Street," directed by Scorsese.
She first met Tom Cruise back when he was with Mimi Rogers. "We took this picture where my hair was out to here and I was wearing a jacket that looked like a sofa," Roberta remembers. "I was not ready for a picture with Tom Cruise." Roberta became such a close friend to Cruise that she helped organize his 2006 wedding to Katie Holmes in Odescalchi Castle outside Rome.)
Although many fashion houses pay celebrities to wear their clothes, Roberta says that's not how it works at Armani. "It's more about relationships," she says, explaining that Cate Blanchett has been loyal to Armani for years and that in turn, her uncle has been a patron of the Sydney Theatre Company, where Blanchett was co-artistic director. All that loyalty has apparently paid off in other ways too. It was recently reported that Blanchett has signed a $10-million Armani fragrance deal, although the brand will not confirm it.
At the Milan Armani headquarters, there's an atelier devoted to red carpet dressing, with designers who can cater to a celebrity's every whim, whether it's putting orbital rings on an Armani Prive gown to create Lady Gaga's unforgettable look for the 2010 Grammys or drawing up sketches of age-appropriate dresses for 9-year-old Quvenzhané Wallis to wear to the 2013 Oscars. Who's left for Armani to dress? "Michelle Obama," Roberta says. "She embodies grace and class."
Jessica Chastain was seated between Roberta and Cameron Diaz at the Armani Prive runway show in Paris in January 2012 when she got the call about her Oscar nomination for "The Help." There wasn't time to create a dress for the 2012 Oscars, but she did wear Armani at the 2013 Oscars. The gown, a coppery-nude sequin mesh, was four months in the making. "I met with my uncle, who had ideas about how he saw her, then had his team design sketches and send them to her stylist. It's a collaboration," Roberta says.
That may be why Armani clothes usually look so right on the red carpet, because he lets stars be who they want to be. "Sometimes you see celebrities get carried away by their gowns on the red carpet," Roberta says. "But not with Armani."

you know, a lot of war pilots from WWII and Vietnam also reported seeing ghost ships and ghost planes - and foo fighters / spook lights. it's not a phenomena that is exclusive to the bermuda triangle -- although the triangle seems to be a focus for disappearance and such.
i dunno - hawkerdriver is a flier of aircraft, so we might see what the hawk says about it... i'm not sure if there is electromagnetic phenomena that wreaks havoc with navi instruments or what.
good topic, tho!
Posted 11 November 2003 - 10:22 AM
I've heard that accidents, planes missing, etc in the Bermuda Triangle are no more frequent than in other parts of the world. There are a lot of storms there, which would account for no traces of wrecks being found, and I guess in the old days ships would go missing because that area was where piracy had its golden age. Pirates would steal cargo then sink the ships and ensure that there was little left to reveal their crimes.
There is a phonomenon called the flying dutchman... I was in the Navy and heard sailors talking about seeing this happen, where if a ship was sailing and weather and atmospheric conditions were right, that you would actually see your own ship superimposed on the sky many miles away. I don't know why this is so - I don't know meteorology. But I'm sure a lot of ghost ship sightings come from that.
Posted 11 November 2003 - 10:29 AM
there is something that happens in astronomy called GRAVITAIONAL LENSING. this happens when gasses and gravity in space around one object bend and reflect light to give the illusion of another. it's been observed and produces "false binaries," that is - two stars in orbit. they know it's just lensing because in other wavelengths other than visual, there is not another star present.
i have a friend who is a PhD meteorologist and i'll ask her what this is. i know that something like what you're talking about exists, but i'll see what kind of detail she can give me!

Pac-12 Weekly Five: 09.07.12 EditionPosted by AMurawa on September 7th, 2012
- The big news around the Pac-12 this week continues to be the eligibility status of UCLA's highly-touted freshman class. Depending on who you believe, some combination of Shabazz Muhammad, Kyle Anderson and Tony Parker are being investigated by the NCAA for potential amateurism problems. UCLA claims that Parker has been cleared, while the other two are still a work in progress, while CBS Sports' Jeff Goodman insists that Parker is still a subject of an NCAA inquiry. We've known about the issues with Muhammad for some time, but the Anderson issue – related to his connections with Thad Foucher, a sports agent – is a new one. But all of this, coupled with CBS' anonymous cheap shots at UCLA and Ben Howland, have already cast a pall over the Bruins' season. With the most talent assembled in Westwood since the days of Kevin Love and Russell Westbrook, it was expected that UCLA was ready for a bounce-back year, but now it remains to be seen when, and if, this group of freshmen will ever play a game together. This situation continues to evolve, so keep an eye on this.
- Across town, it wasn't a great week for the Bruins' rivals either, as USC's athletic department took another hit with further allegations of players receiving impermissible benefits. RTC's Chris Johnson took a look at the problems around both Los Angeles-area campuses, but that was not the only blow to the Trojans, as would-be-junior point guard Maurice Jones was declared academically ineligible for the 2012-13 season last weekend. Jones led last year's injury-riddle team in minutes played (approaching 40 minutes per night), shots attempted and possessions used last year, but seemed primed to take a step back into a supporting role this year with the return of senior point guard Jio Fontan from last year's ACL injury. Instead, head coach Kevin O'Neill will again go to battle minus the services of one of the guys he had been counting on. Jones will stick around in school and hopefully get his grades up in order to resume his USC career in the 2013-14 season, with two years of eligibility remaining then.
- Just about two weeks ago, Arizona State head coach Herb Sendek was left in a lurch when two assistants – Scott Pera and Lamont Smith – departed for similar jobs at other institutions (Penn and Washington, respectively). At such a late date, and with such an important season ahead of the Sun Devils, that could have been a crushing blow to ASU's chances this season. However, Sendek bounced back strong, coming up with a pair of excellent hires to fill the vacancies, as it was announced on Wednesday that Eric Musselman and Larry Greer would be welcomed aboard. As Matt Norlander writes, this was a serious score for Sendek. With his back against the wall, Sendek was able to land two experienced coaches with fine resumes. Musselman has twice been an NBA head coach, was an NBA D-League Coach of the Year, and has been an NBA assistant coach under such luminaries as Hall of Famer Chuck Daly, current Celtic head coach Doc Rivers (then with Orlando), and current Oklahoma head coach Lon Kruger (then with Atlanta). Greer was a long-time college assistant (with Wright State and Boston U.) before joining the Houston Rockets as a scout last year. It remains to be seen how these guys will do on the recruiting trail, and they've certainly got some catching up to do as the start of practice looms little more than a month away, but given the time constraints, Sendek hit this one out of the park.
- Speaking of hitting one out of the park, California scored big this week as well when what had long been rumored came to pass: Jabari Bird, the 20th rated recruit (according to ESPN) in the 2013 class committed to Mike Montgomery and staff. Better yet, Bird has announced his plan to help out the Cal coaching staff by trying to convince fellow '13 recruits Aaron Gordon (ESPN's #6 recruit) and Marcus Lee (ESPN's #27) to join him in Berkeley next season. Washington remains the favorite to land Gordon's services, and Cal is but one of several options for Lee, but if Bird can help Cal land those two guys, the Golden Bears will be rather formidable next season. As it is, Bird, a 6'6" shooting guard with great athleticism, three-point range and a ton of upside, is a good start to an important class for the Bears.
- Lastly, it's that time of year again where Connor and I get to exchange our weekly football picks. Last week, Connor picked up where he left off last season: namely, roughing me up a bit. I completely whiffed on picking Washington State to upset BYU, then missed it by this much when I went out on a limb to pick Toledo ruining RichRod's opener in the desert. So, as it is Connor's got a two-game lead on me just one week into the season. But have no fear, I'll begin my comeback this week. I hope. In a good week of games around the conference, our game of the week this week is Nebraska visiting the Rose Bowl to face UCLA (if only because I'll be in attendance), while other intriguing match-ups like Arizona/Oklahoma State, Wisconsin/Oregon State and LSU/Washington will be sure to keep us entertained as well. Picks below, with our game of the week prediction in bold:
|Connor's Pick
|Drew's Pick
|Utah at Utah State
|Utah State
|Eastern Washington at Washington State
|Washington State
|Washington State
|Sacramento State at Colorado
|Southern Utah at California
|USC at Syracuse
|Wisconsin at Oregon State

Awesome - the game is awesome there is many games similar but this one is the best
When I got this game I thought it would be stupid but the I played and I can tell you this is the best free game there is on the app store
I, like many of you, had found this game after playing the original Learn to Fly flash game.
This iPhone app version is an excellent addition to their series.
And whats great is you can actually play half the game and get ALL the upgrades with this free demo version.
Heres a quick list of game features you may or may not like though:
GRAPHICS - For this games theme the graphics are great, better than the penguin Learn to Fly flash version.
IN-GAME MUSIC - I liked it at first, it gives a relaxing, fun tone to the game, but after about an hour or so it really does get annoying.
CONTROLS - Supprisingly easy to master, but the left and right arrow buttons are unneccisarily small and are hard to hit quickly sometimes.
THE GAME'S FUNCTIONALITY - The gliders ability to swoop up and down is very unrealistic and so unlike the original game, once your character begins to fall you can hardly get back into the gliding motion. Since this is the free version, there are ads during gameplay, and when they pop up from time to time it glitches and deccelerates your glides, making you drop.
OVERALL RE-PLAY VALUE - (this means how fun the game is after you have already beat it once) This game becomes very overdone after beating it, it no longer has any real appeal to it, but I'd say if you spend a lot of money on iTunes apps its worth the 99 cents.
Amazing! This is the first ostrich who with great effort has finally learned to fly in the world.
When the game just starts, one can not fly very far. Don't forget it's an ostrich.
Try to finish each flight.
After every successful one, the ostrich will earn money to buy or update properties, which help him in the further flights.
Game controls:
Press left and right arrow button to control the ostrich's fly angle.
Press the round red button on the right to use rocket, which provides a short impulse.
Game hints:
- Buy wings first, then rockets. Consider fuel blocks later.
- Don't exceed the max speed in the meter in order to save fuel to fly further.
- Finish a flight as soon as possible for extra bonus.
Game story:
In Africa there was one particular ostrich who admired birds flying in the sky.
One day he decided to learn to fly.
He began the flights, running with strong legs and jumping from the cliffs.
With effort, he earned better wings and rockets, and flew further and further.
Finally, he flew into the real sky!
Congratulate him, the first ostrich flying in the world!

Get the truth about one of Italy's most popular islands – and its people – by reading my new weekly blog installments (every Monday right here on this site)
Chapter Twenty-Eight – Return to the Homeland
After I arrived in Italy for the first time since I began dating Tony, he greeted me at the airport, and we took a drive from Naples to Florence, where I was going to meet some Italian editors with whom I had worked. Once in the car, Tony asked if he could kiss me, something we had not done in the months since he was in the United States. When I agreed, he gave me a movie-like kiss and we left. With a smile on his face, Tony asked me about our trip and we talked for hours, occasionally holding hands while he drove, before I started to fall asleep.
When I awoke, we were almost in Florence. Traffic was keeping us from arriving, so I gave Tony a gift I had brought for him. It was a link bracelet made of titanium. He was thrilled, and gifted me with another one of those kisses. This time we both had a big smile on our faces. Unfortunately, however, it was short lived. Those first couple of days in Florence were difficult. I spent most of the time working with my editors while Tony did some site seeing on his own. On our way back to Naples (to catch a boat to the island of Ischia, home of my ancestors and Tony), we committed to spending more time together. I had taken vacation for the rest of my two weeks in Italy.
After finally arriving at Tony's house, I was a bit overwhelmed by his family. I too have a big Italian family, but I never actually lived with my siblings, their spouses, and their children. After you wed, you left and lived in your own home. Although I had spent much of my childhood with my first cousins – who my mother often cared for because she worked for my father from home – they all returned home to their parent's homes in the evenings for dinner and sleep. During the school year, we were scattered at different schools in our town.
Tony's family, on the other hand, lived all together in one big house that had once served as my father's middle school – yes, it's a small world – and then Tony's family's hotel. While each of his sisters and their families had their own apartments upstairs, everyone spent most of their time downstairs with Tony and his mom. All 13 people living in the house ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner together. All the children went to school in the same place. Still, I was enamored with their open arms. They seemed as welcoming as my family. And Tony's three nieces, who ranged in age from 4 to 7 were adorable; they took to me right away. I thought, "I could fit into this family." They seemed so much like my own. They ate, they shared, and they loved.
Some names and identifying characteristics of the real people involved have been changed.

Queen of Hearts (Alice in Wonderland Costume)
Added Feb 15, 2011
by nani
Brussels, Belgium
This is the second creation I've done. It was for an event in high school called "seniors week". The theme of that day was –animated character-… so we had a wide number of options to choose from. I chose the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. I love that tale, and was broke to buy a blonde wig so I decided to be the Queen instead of Alice. I already had the corsage; I just added the decorations and the royal collar. I made the red tutu and the black garniture of the dress is made in satin with a lace hemmed to the edge of the black satin. It was pretty easy, personally I loved the result.

There's no way to read Joseph's Scattante Story entry without having the utmost respect for the obstacles he has overcome to ride his bike. But ride he does, for himself and for others who cannot. You can read more about Joseph's adventures by bike at www.happyheart.org, and find out how to sponsor his latest adventure.
Imagine winning the silver skates then wearing them on crystal ice as you skate effortlessly across the frozen canal. Look closer, see the smile, see the glint of wonder in the eyes, feel the joy of new freedom. That's about as close as I can express what happened when I climbed on my new Scattante outside Fort Collins Performance Bicycle and pedaled across the parking lot heading west up Drake Avenue.
For 21 years I have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Three years ago, I could not even get on a bike. My personal trainer and I worked for months trying to improve walking and trying to jog. Progress was slow because the MS caused numbness in my left leg. This was complicated by being 100 pounds overweight along with balance and coordination issues because of the MS. We tried various machines to stimulate cardio exercise. The treadmills and gliders made me dizzy. Bicycling was a dangerous thought because of balance, numbness and coordination complications.
When I was 12 years old, we lived in Aurora and I was a newspaper boy for the Denver Post. For 2 years, every day I delivered the paper. Every other day, I would pedal across town to the newspaper shack where Mr. Colton would count out the papers for each route. Each boy would take his stack over to the wooden bench, fold and rubber band each newspaper. Once wrapped, the newspapers were loaded into canvas bags clamped to the extra wide handlebars. On a busy news day the bags would come close to dragging on the ground. My first newspaper bike was a hand me down from a previous carrier. I saved for a year to get a new Schwinn Wasp. Today, 50 years later, I remember that first ride.
In 2008, determined to at least try, remembering effortlessly riding as a youth, I found a $3 dollar bicycle at Habitat for Humanity. The tires still held air. My wife, Debra and I went to the neighborhood city park. Debra held her breath while I went 10 feet and fell. I kept trying. A few weeks later, I rode around the block, Debra and Joanna, my daughter, cheering as I circled into the driveway. Something special happened that day. I found the confidence to ride again. Later that summer, I found a old big red 15 speed 27in Citroen at a yard sale for $7. Recycle Cycles helped me clean it up, replacing the tires and brakes. By the end of the summer, I biked 15 miles on Big Red.
During the winter I decided to enter the Colorado MS 150 bike ride. While I had no aspirations to actually ride 150 miles, just the idea of riding in the event drove me to train. After visiting many local bike shops, I chose a Giant FCR because of its upright riding position. I rode this bike to the finish of the Colorado MS 150 in June 29, 2009. By early 2010, my riding techniques, endurance and body positioning prompted me to look for a new class of bike.
I knew I wanted a carbon frame, mostly because of ride vibration absorption. I knew I would be making many changes in equipment to fit the mechanics to my physical particularities. When I saw the Scattante CFR, I knew I found my new bike. It was almost as exciting as that new Schwinn Wasp. I felt comfortable in the Performance Bicycle store and with the staff.
We made a few changes, seat, pedals, adjustments, to the factory configuration. I knew I had my silver skates. I began to train for the Texas BP MS 150. I was little nervous about taking the bike apart to put in a case for the flight from Denver to Houston.
With the help and inspiration of Team Geokinetics and my Scattante I rode my first century and finished the 150. Once back in Colorado, I had to start training for the Colorado MS 150.
The Colorado MS150 has lots of rolling hills, and 3 good climbs. This ride is one of the main reasons I choose the Scattante. I am not a strong rider, my cadence is slow. The store bike came with a compact chain ring and a 12-25 cassette. The first change was to replace the cassette with an 11-28. With this change I could ride a 6% grade. Some parts of the hills were 8% or better. The next change was to put on a Shimano Ultegra Triple Crankset. This change meant new shifters, derailleurs and cables. The mechanics at the Performance shop made the changes.
As another new ride begins, the skates have a new edge. I can climb the hills on my Scattante. Oh, wow, it sure rides smooth downhill!

Heartland's Torque 380 Creates New Price Point
November 26, 2013 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Heartland's Torque 380 Creates New Price Point
Tapping into growing demand for larger fifth-wheel toy haulers, Heartland Recreational Vehicles LLC is launching its first triple-axle, full-profile, 43-foot 380 floorplan in its Torque product line that creates a new price point in the segment.
"Consumers are migrating toward larger units for the increased living space, however the larger units can be very expensive," said Product Manager A.J. Jones in a press release, noting that the 380 is based on a top-selling proven floorplan in Heartland's Cyclone brand. "We have engineered a triple-axle toy hauler that is nearly $25,000 less MSRP than anything else in the marketplace while still providing RVers with a well-appointed, functional floorplan."
Coley Brady, vice president of sales for Elkhart, Ind.-based Heartland, added, "The Torque 380 represents an incredible value for our dealers. It gives them a set-apart product in one of the industry's hottest sectors at a price that will draw even more RVers into the market."
Carrying an MSRP in the high $50,000's, the aluminum-and-fiberglass, triple-slide Torque 380 offers a layout that adds a half-bathroom in a 12-foot garage area that can also function as usable living space.
"Toy haulers have evolved into one of the most versatile RV types in the marketplace," Jones said. "People are using them for much more than just haulers. Diversity is the key, and the 380 offers an unobstructed garage that can easily be converted into another room."
Amenities include a residential one-piece sunken bathtub, panoramic windows on the door side, spacious kitchen with expanded countertop space, residential Lauren Ashley furniture and opposing seating in the living area.
"We are aggressively attacking this price point in the toy hauler market," Brady said. "Essentially, Heartland is developing an all-new segment with the Torque 380, giving our dealers another profit piece to put on their lots."
Heartland will be displaying the Torque 380 at the Dec. 3-5 51st National RV Trade Show in Louisville, Ky., in Booth No. 1400 as part of the Thor Industries Inc. exhibit.

Umi no Misaki
I just found a breif mention of a new series by Kou Fumizuki (the creator of Ai Yori Aoshi) called Umi no Misaki. I believe only the first chapter or two has been published so far (in Young Animal magazine) but I was wondering if there was any further news available about it so far? Being a big fan of Ai Yori Aoshi I'm very interested in anything new Fumizuki might do, but there does not seem to be any information available in english yet on the series? I'm not looking for scalations at this point (probably way too early for that!), just some info on what the series may be about, what the title means, etc.
Anyone have a clue?

Are you referring to this?
I've read the first 2 chapters, there should be 6 or so out now since it started in issue 2007-05. From what I remember of the first two chapter Nagi Gotou comes from Tokyo to Okitsushima and runs into a girl named Shizuku Narumi. He asks her how to get to Umi no Misaki she offers to take him there and along the way they get to know each other. At a cliff overlooking the sea the wind blows off the straw hat she gave him and he falls off after it. She jumps in to rescue him then she tells him about a legend of that island and the dragon god that protects it. She also mentions that it's her fate to die. After hanging out some more they part and he asks her if they can meet again and she gives him a would be nice if we could but probably won't answer more or less. Never read the ai yori manga since the anime didn't do much for me but we'll see where this one goes.

Looks like a quite different series than Ai Yori Aoshi (which was basically a harem anime with a really good romance buried in it). It sounds intersting, though, so hopefully some group will pick this up and start scanlating it eventually.

A "magical girlfriend" by definition has to have some sort of special powers (whether they are actually magic like Belldandy from Ah! My Goddess, or technology like Chii from Chobits). There isn't anything the least bit magical about Aoi (unless you considering it magical that a girl could be that nice! )

because Aoi is unreal in the most real way, you can believe in her unless you stop to think about it. she is in no specific order, Fantasticly rich, utterly devoted to her man, skilled in a truly amazing number of things, yet imbued with childlike innocence, she is an ideal japanese beauty, modest in everyway, yet spoiled enough to be cute, anyway I could go on but the facts are the only way a woman like this exists is in a book or by magic. NO real woman can measure up to her and if you think you know of one or have heard of one who can you are sadly mistaken.

Of course, no there are no "official" definitions of fan terminology like "magical girlfriend" or "harem comedy" so the terms can be kind of slippery at times. Just looking at the wiki definition:

dude... normally I would let something like this go but that was some of the best spin I have ever seen.
that is the link to the wikipedia page he was refering to that includes magical PERSONALITY among the traits of a magical girlfriend and goes on to list AOI as an example of it. if you want to make a point fine but don't tell half the story to do it.
this is a quote from the same paragraph he chose

I am contrasting magical vs magic, it's often that we use the word magical to describe everyday things that are better than normal. see a beautiful girl? tell her she has a magical smile. have a great day where everything goes well? what a magical day... the point is magical is an adjective that describes a state of being that is just way better than the norm, not necessarily denoting done with magic.

Have just finished reading 14 chapters of this series... Loving it. Though... I realy really REALLY hope that the male protoganist IS the real deal. None of those... plot twists where someone else comes along who claims to be the real one (what I'm talking about? Go read the manga! ). Just like Ai Yori Aoshi, I was constantly on my toes wondering if Kaoru really was a Hanabishi. There are a lot of manga out there with plot twists, so I really hope that this series will stay its course as a simple harem with nothing out-of-the-blue (or at least, no more from now on). I'd be happy with just character development rather than story development. Nutshell? Loving this.
