I'm not sure whether I answered to this thread before. Still it would make an interesting update given the new anime...
Macross Zero
Macross Plus had nice dogfights and focus on the Valkyries but had flabby storytelling and a tacked-on 'epic' ending. Macross Zero has better direction and there's been an undercurrent of war all the way. Surprisingly the best chereographed fight scene to me was the dogfight between the normal planes. Although the Roy Fokker and his Russian rival came close. =P
Cowboy Bebop: Knocking on Heaven's Door (the Movie)
Wow, the movie is what the episodes could have been and wasn't due to the time restriction/budget etc. Vincent is a better tragic villian that Vicious. Something about having a katana in a world with handguns didn't appeal to me.
Red Riding Hood carries a bomb. Makes me wish for an OVA or TV series of the Cerebus Panzer Crops. The ending blows you away literally.
Figure 17
A weird mish-mash of genres but I saw it as mainly a growing-up anime with the sci-fi elements as plot devices. The ending is emotional but without much fanfare as befits the series.
Kokoro Toshokan
Episode 11 ... this is the best climax ever. The anti-war message from the reading and it highlights the difference between "offense is the best defence" and "I'll protect my people". Who ever though that such a cutesy anime can have such a deep message.
This anime is the one that cements Chiwa Saitou as the best seiyuu ever for crying scenes. If you don't have a crying scene, you're wasted her talent!

My top 5 Series would consist of:
Rurouni Kenshin - I liked how it was based off of historical facts and how the characters were portrayed.
Naruto - Great story and great creativity on behalf of the creator, Kishimoto.
Princess Tutu - Beautiful. Not what you would expect from a magical girl type of anime series.
Utena - Intriguing story that was quite dark.
Twelve Kingdoms - One of the best plots and had no fillers.

In no order (except Mononoke Hime, which is my number 1)
Mononoke Hime (no questions, hands down, a work of art)
Cowboy Bebop + Knockin on Heaven's Door (a classic)
Full Metal Panic- Season 1 + Fumoffu (Funny or amazing beyond belief)
Noir (OST and action kept me drooling)
Scrapped Princess (plot and theme unlike anything I've ever seen b4 in anime)
In close second:
Now and Then, Here and There (Incredibly powerful, but too disturbing)
Kimi Ga Nozumo Eien (It's a bishoujo, what can I say?)
Read or Die the OVA (Haven't watched the series yet, but OVA was terrific. Too short and too many questions to be in top 5)
I may have eclectic tastes, but I stay afloat. I'll watch anything, but I guess I'm partial to the more realistic or artsy actions films (no shounen for me!)

1. Dragon Ball Z
This is number one because it introduced Anime outside of Japan. There should be no reason why this isn't number 1. DBZ as much as you hate it (dunno why I enjoyed it) it's the best anime to break the ice to new fans. I don't know about you, but DBZ didn't get popular because it sucked. If it sucked it wouldn't be as popular as it is.
2. Pokemon
Cmon any idiot can see what it did to the entire world.
3. Doremon
I grew up with this, heck my mom knows more about Doremon then I do... she even collected the Manga, that's gotta mean something.

The reason for not mentioning older animes must be, that most people cut down on their top 5 by the question "What anime would be the best from my present point of view?". To say that you enjoyed those older animes a couple of years ago, so they must be very good is as wrong as to always name the newest animes because you`d like to watch them right now.
In the first case you didn`t know the newer animes back then, so if you just remember how much you liked the old ones in the past you don`t give the new ones a fair chance. In the other case, if you`d have to decide what anime you would like to watch right know, you`d probably chose an anime currently running.
Also, I asume that your taste changed over the time. If I think of myself when I first watched anime, I enjoyed stuff very much back then, that I would rate "OK" at the most by now. Again, to rate the old animes after your "old taste" and use your new preferences on the new ones would give new anime a disadvantage.
If you think those old ones are still great, then there is no problem naming them here though.
enough talking, here`s my personal top 5 (no order, it was hard enough to cut down on 5):
- Witch Hunter Robin (for the plot, the mood and Robins cute hairstyle )
- Scrapped Princess (for...I just love it ... )
- 3x3 - Eyes (for cool evil demons, even cooler magical powers and a lot of mystery )
- Jin Roh (for me this is the best [and saddest] anime movie ever )
- Azumanga Daioh! (for the fun part in my top 5 this anime showed me the true meaning of "rofl" )

Uhh.. So little Ghibli.
Porco Rosso (passionate)
Princess Mononoke (gripping)
Spirited Away (entrancing)
Sky Castle of Laputa (magical)
Totoro (very cute)
I would seriously consider all these my top anime.. but anyways, Azumanga Daioh is a pretty good choice for me too. It wasn't extremely funny in the beginning, but it got progressively more humorous and whacky. And Chiyo-chaaaannn....

Lord Chairman God King
Top 5 Anime of multi-choice
Most overrated, poor-written, crappy anime of all time:
1. FLCL (Oh, yes it is truely the greatest anime of all ime. I mean, you must be a genius to make an overrated poorly animated anime the creators made while drunk, right? WRONG. It toook me a long time to realized IT SUCKED.) Note: Not worst anime. Not even on top ten. Anyone who says it holds a deep meaning is talking a bunch of BS. It was made to advertise for a kick-ass band called "The Pillows".
Repeat after me. You will buy the soundtrack.
2. Digimon (What's with the stipid teenaged fans praising a childrens show? What a bunch of doinks.)
3. Naruto (Naruto is just DBZ with ninjas, but duller somehow, despite ninjas kinking ass. Fanboys of this show deserve to realize this fact.)
4. DBZ (The fans: Wow, all they do is scream and recycle fighting animation. This is the greatest thing ever made! Me: No, it takes 5 seconds to think up because it sucks!)
5. DBGT (See DBZ above, but worse. This is one of the top 10 worst anime ever.)
Worst anime period:
1. Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters
If I hear one more person say it's deeper in the Japanese version, I will walk up to their house and beat the crap out of them. It's a 23 minute commercial for the love of freaking God! 0_o It's poorly animated, poorly written, slow-paced that makes DBZ look rushed. This is the worst anime of all time.
2. Wedding Peach
Take all the greatness of Sailor Moon. Then throw it across the room, torch it, then flush it down the toliet, then take the rest and run down the street and shoot it. Momoko's a whiny bitch whose voic makes my ears bleed. The villians make the Amazon Trio look like there in business suits, stupid named enchanted items called the "Saint Something Four". (I kid you not.) The main femle leads are supposed to be best friends?! Yeah, right.
3. Dragonball GT
What the hell is this?! Do my eyes decieve me, or is it a Cash-cow? It's more poorly written, poorly animted that DBZ ever was (Which is a hard feat to pull off.) Turn his crap off. Watch something else.
4. Pilot Candidate
Now I will quote a character: "Hmmmmm........ very intresting......" Yeah. It's intresting on how anyone can not fall asleep while watching this.
One night, I said these words which hold graet and pwerful meaning, "Tim, could you sit up please? I can still see the TV." I haven't been this bored since football season (no offense football fans.)
Note: I will not list the next one to avoid more hate posts.
No top 5 greatest anime because there is no greatest anime of all tme. Everyone has a complaint about an anime, therefore making all anime imperfect in a way.

Research Highlights
November 2010
Looking for Answers Around Grains of Sand
Experiments reveal unexpected precipitation behavior, insights for cleanup and carbon sequestration
Small barricades of calcium carbonate form between the simulated soil particles in this study by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Enlarge Image
Results: Tiny cul-de-sacs and passages in the soil, that affect water flow and mixing, reverse the expected outcome of a common reaction that has environmental implications, according to scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The team studied the precipitate, solid calcium carbonate, CaCO3. They showed that higher concentrations of the precursors for CaCO3 result in less of the desired solid under dynamic flow and mixing conditions. This is because the solid forms in the passageways or pores and blocks further reactions.
"The heart and soul of what we learned from this study is counterintuitive to what people have thought using batch reactors," said Dr. Changyong Zhang, a geochemist at PNNL and the study's lead author.
Why It Matters: Cleaning up certain toxic materials in the groundwater relies on mixing of different solutions to halt the pollutant's migration. The rapid formation of CaCO3 could interfere with the mixing needed for groundwater remediation. While the study did not directly address geologic carbon storage, the results could be beneficial to sequestration studies.
Methods: The team began using clear, silicon micromodels at EMSL, a national scientific user facility at PNNL. The micromodels are thin, see-through structures, smaller than a trade paperback book. The models contain tiny passages that simulate the pores between and inside soil particles.
The team injected two solutions in parallel into the micromodel. The solutions mixed through the micromodel and formed CaCO3. They used nondestructive, real-time microscopic laser Raman techniques to analyze the CaCO3 that formed in the pores when the solutions met.
"The benefit of doing this research at the pore scale is being able to directly visualize what is happening at the flow interface," Zhang said.
In analyzing the materials that formed, the scientists showed results that are opposite to those from batch reactors, where solutions are well mixed. In a batch reactor, concentrated solutions produced higher levels of solid CaCO3 than weaker solutions. In the pore-scale flow experiments, concentrated solutions produced less CaCO3.
They found that less of the desired solid was formed because the solid CaCO3 quickly changed the porosity of the system, forming barriers in the pore spaces and blocking further reactions between the two solutions.
Further, they showed that the blockage of pores influenced the carbonate's ability to rearrange its internal structure. In a batch reactor, a less stable CaCO3 is formed first and transforms into a more stable mineral in a few hours. However, in the pore-scale flow experiments, once the less stable solid precipitates where the two liquids meet, the transformation was cut off and did not occur.
The results of this study were selected for quick release by Environmental Science and Technology.
What's Next: The team is conducting further studies into carbon sequestration to learn more about the conditions relevant to geologic reservoirs for carbon sequestration, such as high pressure and high temperature.
Acknowledgments: This work was supported by the Department of Energy's Office of Biological and Environmental Research, a Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need fellowship from the U.S. Department of Education, PNNL's Laboratory Directed Research and Development Program under the Carbon Sequestration Initiative, and Los Alamos National Laboratory.
A portion of the experiments was done in DOE's EMSL, a national scientific user facility at PNNL.
This research was done by Changyong Zhang, Nancy Hess, Mart Oostrom, and Thomas Wietsma of PNNL, and Karl Dehoff, Albert Valocchi, Bruce Fouke, and Charles Werth of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Vertical Dance
Vertical Dance has been running for 7 years. We are the leaders in teacher training for Pole fitness instructors.
When we started there were only classes that taught pole dancing and erotic dance, but we saw the fitness potential of pole dancing, so we created classes that used the pole to keep fit. Our aim has always been to make pole fitness socially acceptable to every one and remove the stigma attached to it. We are a fun young company that has fitness at it heart.
We now have the worlds first internationally recognised online certification by the Register of Exercise Professionals and the American Council on Exercise. Please take a look at our site I am sure you will be surprised. http://www.verticaldance.com
Our target for the flyer is existing pole dancers and performers who would like to use their skills and take the next step to teach others. We are also targeting existing fitness instructors who would like to diversify into a different area of fitness, giving them the edge on other instructors. Also fitness centres and gyms that would like to incorporate some thing new, fun and exciting into their time table. The age range is 18 – 50 and 90% female, how ever men are taking up pole fitness more. The type of people are fun, funky and fit. They like a challenge and they like to be different.
The flyer needs to be bright, fun, funky and eye catching. It needs to have a feeling of fitness, exercise and sport and should not reflect any thing of and erotic, sensual or sexual nature as we are a fitness company.
The flyer is about our online teacher training course.
It should have the logos attached, placed on the flyer.
It needs to be Post card size which I believe is A6 and double sided.
Portrait or landscape I don't mind.
I have attached the wording which can be changed around if you need to.
I have attached photos. You are free to use or photo shop in a funky way.
I don't really have a colour in mind and I am open to any sort of design.
The headed paper is open on ideas. I would like some thing cool with my logo on it and or silhouettes etc but the photos i have attached are for the flyer. if you want to use them please do so sparingly. It must have the endorsement logos incorporated some how. I have attached the vertical dance logo and I would like the following information put on it:

Friday Farm Fotos: Ode to Charlotte
My all-time favorite book as a child was Charlotte's Web..... I loved the story of cunning little spider Charlotte and her friend Wilbur the pig. To this day I remember certain parts of the book even though it's been years since I've read it- like Fern pleading for her dad to spare the little runt piglet because "he couldn't help being born small!" and Wilbur getting his "buttermilk bath" for the county fair. I especially identified with Fern because at the time I was introduced to the book, she and I were the same age.
(8 years old.)
I was out with my camera one morning this week trying to get some pictures of the sunrise and happened upon some amazing webs draped with mist from the morning's fog. I stopped for a minute to snap a few pictures, and then smiled.... I never see a spider web (or walk into one.... *ugh*) that I don't think about Charlotte writing the words "Some Pig" and "Terrific" in her web. And even though I've never been a big fan of spiders (other than Charlotte), I can't help but be fascinated by their delicate, silky masterpieces.
Happy Friday, everyone!

A typical year of Hope College intercollegiate sport consists of hundreds of athletic contests spread across three seasons. There are literally thousands of ticks of the game clock. Hundreds of individual plays. Strategies plotted; game-deciding decisions made. These accumulations decide conference finishes and together determine the winner of the ultimate prize - the Commissioner's Cup of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association.
A typical year of Hope College intercollegiate sport consists of hundreds of athletic contests spread across three seasons. There are literally thousands of ticks of the game clock. Hundreds of individual plays. Strategies plotted; game-deciding decisions made. These accumulations decide conference finishes and together determine the winner of the ultimate prize - the Commissioner's Cup of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association.
Over the past decade, the outcome of race for The Cup has come down to crucial spring sports contests. This year was no different.
Hope's claim to a 10th consecutive Commissioner's Cup rested on the outcomes of final home doubleheaders in baseball and softball. Doubleheader sweeps were needed by both teams, and neither the Flying Dutch nor Flying Dutchmen disappointed. The softball team marked the coaching finales of Karla Hoesch '73 Wolters by defeating Olivet twice while the baseball team of coach Stu Fritz took a pair from Albion to assure that Hope would finish two places ahead of rival Calvin in the standings and thus win the Commissioner's Cup by a single point!
Except for a tie in the Cup standings between the same two schools in 2007-08, Hope's margin of victory is the closest margin in the 76-year-history of the award.
During the 2009-10 school year, Hope crowned MIAA champions in four sports: men's golf, volleyball, women's basketball, and men's swimming and diving. The Flying Dutchmen and Flying Dutch displayed amazing competitiveness over the year with teams finishing first or second in 14 of the league's 18 sports.
The spring sports season was highlighted by the first-ever top-10 finish at the NCAA Division III championships in men's golf. Unranked on a national level throughout the season, coach Bob Ebels's Flying Dutchmen went into the record book as the most successful in school history by tying for ninth place at the championship meet.
Three Flying Dutchmen averaged within a stroke of one another and all three surpassed the previous best by a Hope golfer at nationals. Senior captain Steven Strock of Grandville, Mich., averaged 74.25 strokes over the four rounds while junior Chris Ansel of Zeeland, Mich., averaged 74.75 strokes and freshman Charles Olson of Suttons Bay, Mich., finished at 75.25. Strock was named to the PING All-America third team and honored as a Division III Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar.
In one of the most successful performances ever at the NCAA track and field championships, three athletes achieved NCAA All-America recognition. Combining to score the most points ever in the men's meet, junior John Donkersloot of Zeeland, Mich., finished third for the second consecutive year in the high jump, and senior Jeffrey Minkus of Glen Ellyn, Ill., was fourth in the triple jump to become Hope's first All-American in that event. Junior Kara Vande Guchte of Hamilton, Mich., finished fourth in the seven-event heptathlon as Hope had an All-America finish in that event for the fourth time in five years.
Both Hope tennis teams finished second in their respective MIAA races. The Flying Dutchmen surpassed 200 career dual match victories during the 18-year tenure of coach Steve Gorno, while the Flying Dutch marked the coaching debut of Nate Price by putting together a string of 14 consecutive dual wins.
Senior John Gardner of Granville, Ohio, and freshman Bobby Cawood of East Lansing, Mich., were voted to the All-MIAA men's first team. Gardner received All-MIAA honors four consecutive years.
Junior Katherine Garcia of Battle Creek, Mich. was voted to the All-MIAA women's first team and was named the recipient of the Sue Little Sportsmanship Award. Junior Alyssa Austin of Spring Lake, Mich., was also voted to the All-MIAA first team.
Both track and field teams finished second in their respective MIAA races. Eleven athletes were awarded All-MIAA honors.
Highlighting the honors was the selection of junior Cameron Lampkin of Oak Park, Mich., as the league's outstanding male track performer. Lampkin was the conference champion in the 100 and 200 meter dashes. The last time a Hope sprinter received MVP recognition was 1986.
Three athletes received All-MIAA honors for a third consecutive year -- senior Jeffrey Minkus of Glen Ellyn, Ill., junior Nick Rinck of Hudsonville, Mich., and junior Kara Vande Guchte of Hamilton, Mich.
Honored for a second time were junior John Donkersloot of Zeeland, Mich., and senior Aaron Treiber of Auburn, Mich. First-time honorees included freshman Elliott Barney of South Holland, Ill., senior Bryan DeKoekkoek of Martin, Mich., freshman Shaelie Harper of Holland, Mich., freshman Taylor Mattarella of Traverse City, Mich., and freshman Sarah Venlet of Zeeland, Mich.
In softball, the Flying Dutch marked the 20th winning season under coach Karla with a 20-18 mark, while the Flying Dutchmen baseball team came within a win of a school record with a 28-12 record. Receiving All-MIAA first team honors were sophomore centerfielder Stephanie Faber of Byron Center, Mich., and senior utility player Robby Poll of Grandville, Mich. Poll was also named to the Mideast All-Region team.
The club lacrosse team won the Central Division championship of the Central Collegiate Lacrosse Association, advanced to the semi-finals of the conference tournament and ended ranked 15th in the national Collegelax.us coaches' poll. Junior Eric Weber of Ann Arbor, Mich., led the nation in scoring with 89 goals and 39 assists and was named an All-American for a second straight year.

Robert Rose, 47, Danville, California, a real estate investor pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Sacramento, California, to conspiring to rig bids and commit mail fraud at public real estate foreclosure auctions held in San Joaquin County, Calif.
Rose pleaded guilty to conspiring with a group of real estate speculators who agreed not to bid against each other at certain public real estate foreclosure auctions in San Joaquin County. The primary purpose of the conspiracy was to suppress and restrain competition and to obtain selected real estate offered at San Joaquin County public foreclosure auctions at non-competitive prices, the department said in court papers.
According to the court documents, after the conspirators' designated bidder bought a property at a public auction, they would hold a second, private auction, at which each participating conspirator would bid the amount above the public auction price he or she was willing to pay. The conspirator who bid the highest amount at the end of the private auction won the property. The difference between the price at the public auction and that at the second auction was the group's illicit profit, and it was divided among the conspirators in payoffs. According to his plea agreement, Rose participated in the scheme beginning in or about August 2009 until in or about October 2009.
To date, eight individuals, including Rose, have pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California in connection with this investigation: Anthony B. Ghio, John R. Vanzetti, Theodore B. Hutz, Richard W. Northcutt, Yama Marifat, Gregory L. Jackson, and Walter Daniel Olmstead.
Rose pleaded guilty to bid rigging, a violation of the Sherman Act, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $1 million fine. The maximum fine may be increased to twice the gain derived from the crime or twice the loss suffered by the victims of the crime, if either of those amounts is greater than the statutory maximum fine. Rose also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine.
Christine Varney, Assistant Attorney General of the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division, and Benjamin B. Wagner, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of California, announced the charges.
"The Antitrust Division is committed to vigorously pursuing bid rigging conspiracies at real estate foreclosure auctions and prosecuting those who violate the antitrust laws to gain illegal profits and take advantage of adverse situations," said Acting Assistant Attorney General Pozen. "The division will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to investigate anticompetitive practices in real estate foreclosure auctions in the Sacramento area and into northern California."
"Perpetrators of schemes like the one charged here do not compete fairly," U.S. Attorney Wagner stated. "Instead, they muscle out honest bidders who don't play along. Such schemes not only drive down the price of the auctioned properties, they steal equity from those homeowners trying to weather the financial storm. Rose is the eighth defendant charged in this case. Prosecutions like this one send a clear message to those who may be tempted to cheat at auction: Don't."
These charges arose from an ongoing federal antitrust investigation of fraud and bidding irregularities in certain real estate auctions in San Joaquin County. The investigation is being conducted by the Antitrust Division's San Francisco Office, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California, the FBI's Sacramento Division and the San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office. Trial attorneys Anna Pletcher, Richard Cohen and Tai Milder from the Antitrust Division's San Francisco Office and Assistant U.S. Attorney Russell L. Carlberg are prosecuting the case.
The charges are part of efforts underway by President Barack Obama's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force. President Obama established the interagency Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force to wage an aggressive, coordinated and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. The task force includes representatives from a broad range of federal agencies, regulatory authorities, inspectors general and state and local law enforcement who, working together, bring to bear a powerful array of criminal and civil enforcement resources. The task force is working to improve efforts across the federal executive branch, and with state and local partners, to investigate and prosecute significant financial crimes, ensure just and effective punishment for those who perpetrate financial crimes, combat discrimination in the lending and financial markets, and recover proceeds for victims of financial crimes. One component of the task force is the national Mortgage Fraud Working Group, co-chaired by U.S. Attorney Wagner. For more information on the task force, visit www.StopFraud.gov.
Anyone with information concerning bid rigging or fraud related to real estate foreclosure auctions should contact the Antitrust Division's San Francisco Office at 415-436-6660 or visit www.justice.gov/atr/contact/newcase.htm, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California at 916-554-2700 or the FBI's Sacramento Division at 916-481-9110.

This poll, fielded March 15-18, 2008, is a part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. This poll included an oversample of African Americans, for a total of 122 African American respondents. Respondents were asked whether they approved of the way George W. Bush was handling the presidency, the economy, and the situation in Iraq, to rate the condition of the national economy, to indicate the most important issue for candidates to discuss in the 2008 presidential election, and the preferred qualities and characteristics in a presidential candidate. Registered voters were asked how much attention they were paying to the 2008 presidential campaign, whether they planned to or had already voted in a Democratic or Republican primary or caucus in their state, their opinions of candidates John McCain, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton, and which candidate they would vote for if the general election were held that day. Views were sought on the news media's treatment of the candidates, whether it was appropriate for candidates to show their emotions in public, whether respondents and most people they knew would vote for a presidential candidate who was African American or a woman, whether people they knew had made sexist or racist remarks in the past few months, and whether racism or sexism was a more serious problem in the country. Registered Democratic primary voters were asked about the Democratic presidential nomination process and how superdelegates should decide their vote at the convention. Additional questions queried all respondents on Obama's minister Reverend Jeremiah Wright, major league baseball, steriod use in professional sports, the war in Iraq and its effect on the threat of terrorism against the United States, and whether Saddam Hussein was personally involved in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Demographic variables include sex, age, race, education level, marital status, whether respondents had children under 18 years of age, household income, political party affiliation, political philosophy, voter registration status and participation history, religious preference, frequency of religious attendance, and whether respondents considered themselves to be a born-again Christian.

- Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes.
Weight View help for Weight
The data contain weight variables that should be used in analyzing the data. According to the CBS News Web site, the data were weighted to match United States Census Bureau breakdowns on age, sex, race, education, and region of the country. The data were also adjusted for the fact that people who share a telephone with others have less chance to be contacted than people who live alone and have their own telephones, and that households with more than one telephone number have more chances to be called than households with only one telephone number. An oversample of African Americans was also conducted for this poll and the results were then weighted in proportion to the racial composition of the adult population in the United States Census.
Data in this collection are available only to users at ICPSR member institutions.

Young people are using the Internet more than ever and most have Internet access from home. For many children, the Internet isn't simply a convenient way to research or a fun afterschool activity - it's a big part of their social life. E-mailing and chatting with friends are children's most common online activities, after studying and playing games. But like many other social situations, some kids bully other kids online.
Cyberbullying is similar to other types of bullying, except it takes place online and through text messages sent to cell phones. Cyberbullies can be classmates, online acquaintances, and even anonymous users, but most often they do know their victims.
Some examples of ways kids bully online are:
Both boys and girls sometimes bully online and just as in face-to-face bullying, tend to do so in different ways. Boys more commonly bully by sending messages of a sexual nature or by threatening to fight or hurt someone. Girls more often bully by spreading rumors, sending messages that make fun of someone or exclude others. They also tell secrets.
Victims of cyberbullying may experience many of the same effects as children who are bullied in person, such as a drop in grades, low self-esteem, a change in interests, or depression. However cyberbullying can seem more extreme to its victims because of several factors:
Cyberbullying can be a complicated issue, especially for adults who are not as familiar with using the Internet, instant messenger, or chat rooms as kids are. But like more typical forms of bullying, it can be prevented when kids know how to protect themselves and parents are available to help.

The Euro, which has done a pretty good job with the track that the hurricane has taken so far (I usually try to give love to the American models, but the Euro has been better this time around), definitely is showing a trend with it staying away from landfall in the Carolinas - that's a great sign for that area.This model still has a landfall in Florida though, which is something to keep an eye on to see if it changes. One thing that is being underestimated at least for the Carolinas is rainfall. That hurricane will be close enough to drop plenty of rain - could see more than 10 inches on the South Carolina coast.
Crazy paths that are being shown now. Both the GFS and Euro has Matthew looping back south once he hits the Carolinas. GFS has it looping back crossing FL with the Euro looping back and hanging around the Bahamas.http://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=ecmwf®ion=atl&pkg=mslpaNormhttp://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=gfs®ion=atl&pkg=mslpaNorm

Holiday break
While you snuggle up with your last issue of NewTowncarShare News for 2011, our editorial staff will be taking a two-week publishing break to catch up on editing, writing, reporting and other projects, and, of course, spend time with family and friends. Expect your first issue of 2012 around Jan. 25. We wish you very happy holidays, fat with good food and good company.
Former HCN intern Andy Lenderman stopped by our office in November and discussed how his adopted state of New Mexico is faring during this recession -- in a word, poorly. Andy should know: He worked for a decade as a reporter with the now-defunct Albuquerque Tribune and the Albuquerque Journal, and most recently served as the public information officer at the New Mexico Office of Recovery and Reinvestment, an oversight agency for the distribution of federal stimulus funds. He says the state has been propped up by $3 billion in stimulus money, as well a strong oil and gas industry in the north, but has been challenged by the departure of its senior political rainmakers -- including former Gov. Bill Richardson, former U.S. Sen. Pete Domenici, and the soon-to-depart U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman -- who consistently raked in oodles of federal dollars for energy projects.
Longtime subscribers Adi Vongontard and his mother, Chrilo, dropped by in late November. Chrilo was visiting Paonia from rainy Bainbridge Island, Wash., to spend Turkey Day with her son, "eat too much," and soak up some Western Slope sunshine.
Bivalve, Calif., "mayor" Jerry Lunsford dropped by in December while visiting Paonia resident Allison Elliot. The only resident of his unincorporated community, Lunsford lives in an off-the-grid home. He was in the midst of an ambitious six-week tour of the West with "the best girlfriend I ever had" -- his 6-year-old Australian shepherd.
Tom Bell honored
In early December, the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union honored HCN founder Tom Bell with the organization's 2011 Media Excellence Award.
Bell -- a World War II veteran and rancher with degrees in wildlife biology -- founded NewTowncarShare News in his hometown of Lander, Wyo., in 1970 to cover environmental issues and encourage good stewardship.
As longtime HCN readers know, Tom eventually retired and the paper moved to Paonia in the early 1980s, where it's since blossomed into a full-color magazine. "But (Bell's) vision ... lives on," RMFU writes. "NewTowncarShare News is essential reading for anyone in the Rocky Mountain region who cares about public policy, land use, and protecting the heritage of working land. The quality of the newspaper defines excellence, and RMFU wishes to thank Tom Bell for the vision and grit that he applied to protecting our natural heritage from corporate exploitation." Thank you, RMFU! We can't speak for Tom, but we're sure blushing.
Due to an editorial error, an errant "w" was included in Joe Gutkoski's last name in the story "Clean water conundrum" in our Dec. 12 issue. Our sincere apologies, Joe!

CHARLESTON, W.Va. U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, who arrived in West Virginia as a young man from one of the world's richest families to work on antipoverty programs and remained in the state to build a political legacy, announced Friday that he will not seek a sixth term.
The 75-year-old Democrat's decision, coming at a time when his popularity in a conservative state had been waning for sparring with the powerful mining industry and supporting President Barack Obama, said ahead of his formal announcement that it was time to retire.
After about three decades in elective office, it was time to "bring more balance to my life after a career that has been so obsessively dominated by politics and public policy and campaigns," he said. "I've gotten way out of whack in terms of the time I should spend with my wife and my children and my grandchildren."
Rockefeller's decision will set off a scramble for a seat held by Democrats since 1958. Within weeks of November's elections, Republican U.S. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito vowed to run for the Senate seat in 2014, even if it meant going up against Rockefeller and his storied name. Other Republicans also have been eyeing the seat in recent weeks.
Rockefeller said Capito's announcement did not influence his decision. Willing to devote millions of his personal wealth toward his campaigns — including several against Capito's father, ex-Gov. Arch Moore — the senator said he believes he would have prevailed over the seven-term congresswoman.
The great-grandson of famed industrialist John D. Rockefeller first arrived in West Virginia as a volunteer with the VISTA national service program in 1964. Within two years, he had won election to the Legislature, and then as secretary of state in 1968. After a failed run for governor in 1972 and four years as president of West Virginia Wesleyan College, Rockefeller won his first term as governor in 1976.
Toward the end of his second term, he narrowly captured the U.S. Senate seat of a retiring Jennings Randolph in 1984. He won by comfortable margins in each of his five terms.
Rockefeller hails from a family of many achievers: In addition to the successes of his oil billionaire great-grandfather, two uncles, Nelson Rockefeller and Winthrop Rockefeller, served as governors of New York and Arkansas, respectively. Rockefeller's father, John D. Rockefeller III, was a well-known philanthropist and founded the Asia Society, while his uncle David Rockefeller ran Chase Manhattan Bank.

Matsui's legacy lives on in digital archive
State has developed a new digital archive focused on the late Congressman Robert
T. Matsui's leadership in gaining redress and reparations for Japanese
Americans interned during World War II.
The online collection
features video clips, photographs, speeches and more. It can be accessed at
Major funding for
the project was provided by the California State Library, California Civil Liberties
Public Education Program.
The unveiling of the archive will be celebrated on Feb. 19, the "Day of Remembrance" and the 65th anniversary of Executive Order No. 9066, which
authorized the removal of 120,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry from West Coast
states. Congresswoman Doris O. Matsui, representative of the 5th Congressional
District of California and Sacramento State and professor Tim Fong say there
is a wealth of information in the new archive.
The digital archive
is designed for a number of different audiences.
"We wanted
to let the public know about the important contributions that Robert
Matsui made in the areas of reparations and redress," says Fong, who directs
the Asian American studies program at Sacramento State. "We believe that
this digital archive will be widely used by students and teachers, from elementary
school through high school, as well as colleges, researchers and anyone interested
in American history."
The archive contains
digital reproductions of historical photographs, videos and audio clips, newspaper
articles, speeches and congressional documents gathered from the Library of
Congress and other government sources, media outlets and Congresswoman Matsui.
It is its multi-media
approach that makes the archive such a dynamic tool for learning. "This
balance between visuals and text manages to capture the essence of this important
national leader at a pivotal period in his life," Fong says. "Nowhere
else can you get this history in such a compelling format. It establishes Sacramento
State as a leader in multi-media digital archives."
Sacramento State
also has a digital archive featuring items from its extensive Japanese American
Archival Collection, and in recent years developed a digital collection focused
on African American slavery in California. These are available at digital.lib.csus.edu.
Redress and reparations
for Japanese Americans was a cause close to Matsui's heart. Prior to World
War II, the Matsui family lived in Sacramento and, in 1942, were moved to an
assembly center and an internment camp. The experience left a lasting mark.
Elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1978, Matsui was committed to
civil rights and equal justice throughout his 26 years of congressional service.
In 1988, Matsui
and others helped shape and shepherd the Japanese American Redress Act (HR 442)
through Congress. It offered monetary compensation and a formal apology for
the World War II internment of Japanese Americans. The legislation was signed
into law by President Ronald Reagan on August 10, 1988.
Matsui also played
a major role in getting Manzanar (one of the 10 internment camps) designated
as a National Historic Site and helped secure land on the National Mall in Washington,
D.C. for the Japanese American Memorial to commemorate Japanese American patriotism
during World War II.
The new digital
archive is online at www.csus.edu/matsui.

You aren't alone. Friday the 13th has a way of doing that.
According to research, as many as 25 percent of the population believe Friday the 13th is a day of calamity.
The fear of Friday the 13th is known as paraskevidekatriphobia ("para-ska-vee-decka-tri-phobia"), which stems from the Greek words for fear, Friday and 13. Friday the 13th happens three times in 2012 – today, April 13 and July 13.
Each year, more than 42.8 million guests step through the gates at Walt Disney World near Orlando, Fla.

As the days get shorter and the nights get colder, there are a number of ways to prepare your yard for winter.
Performing these few chores now will help get your garden through the cold weather in good shape - and make gardening easier in the spring.
We've sprung through spring and splashed through summer. Autumn splendor is on its way; Carolina blue skies will backdrop leaves of ambers, ochres and rich reds. Temperatures will drop and fall foliage will soon follow. Don't miss a chance this year to see fall in all its majesty.
While there are countless locations to enjoy autumn colors right here in Lancaster County – including your own backyard – you can also pack a picnic and take a day or weekend trip to soak up the changing of seasons.
What a summer – and how quickly fall has arrived!

Still for Caskey, it wasn't stunning to see Knight out for the team.

A New Jersey man was sentenced to 50 years in prison Friday after being found guilty of sexually assaulting his daughter, adding a half century to the 40 years he was sentenced to in November 2011 for sexually assaulting another of his daughters.
Aswad Ayinde, 55, was found guilty of the charges against the second daughter, whom he impregnated four times, in March. The jury found that he had engaged in sexual intercourse with her when she was between the ages of 8 and 22.
At Ayinde's 2010 trial, his former wife said he was trying to create "pure" family bloodlines by impregnating several of his teenager daughters.
Arrested in 2006, Ayinde has been accused of raping five of his daughters, three of whom are believed to have given birth to a total of six children.
Authorities say the assaults began in the mid-1980s and lasted until 2002, when the parents separated, and occurred at residences in Paterson, East Orange, Orange and Eatontown. The time period overlaps with the family's coming to the attention of the state's child welfare agency.
According to court records and published reports, Ayinde was arrested in 2000 and charged with kidnapping for allegedly trying to take three of his children from state custody at a Monmouth County medical center. He posted bail and later pleaded guilty to assault and child endangerment and was sentenced to a year's probation.
Prosecutors in Passaic County say one of the daughters, then in her early teens, was raped as late as January 2002.
Ayinde's wife and one of his daughters testified in the earlier trial that New Jersey's Division of Youth and Family Services had removed at least one of the children from the family's home, and that the family had temporarily moved, first to Jersey City and then to Florida, to avoid the agency's investigation.
In her testimony at that trial, his daughter described experiencing and witnessing beatings administered with wooden boards and steel-toed boots. She said minor transgressions often were punished by the withholding of food.
The girl's mother testified some of the babies were delivered at home and never received birth certificates, and said in at least two instances babies who died in the home were buried without authorities being notified.
The children were home-schooled, she said, and were discouraged from interacting with other kids.
"No one really asked questions of each other because somebody would tell on somebody and somebody would get in trouble," she said.
Even after she became aware of sexual abuse, she said she was too frightened to confront him.

Clarkson University's Dana Barry Recognized by the American Chemical Society
Dana M. Barry, senior technical writer and editor at Clarkson University's Center for Advanced Materials Processing, has been recognized by the American Chemical Society (ACS) as an official ACS Chemistry Ambassador. This honor is for her role as National Chemistry Week Coordinator.
National Chemistry Week (NCW) has different yearly themes and is celebrated during the month of October. The theme for 2013 is "Energy Now and Forever."
For the past ten years, Barry coordinated events and carried out chemistry workshops in schools and other locations during National Chemistry Week for the Northern New York Section of the ACS. For her services as NCW Coordinator, she has been awarded an ACS Chemistry Ambassador sash, a certificate of recognition, and a lapel pin.
The American Chemical Society is the largest scientific organization in the world. It has over 163,000 members. Chemistry Ambassadors for this society conduct outreach activities such as science workshops and presentations in schools and science cafes to make chemistry more accessible to members of their communities. They point out chemistry's relevance to everyday life and make an effort to improve and promote public appreciation of chemistry.
This is Barry's 18th consecutive year serving as an officer for the Northern New York Section of the ACS. In 2004, her Chemical Sensation Project (held in collaboration with Dean Professor Hideyuki Kanematsu of Suzuka National College of Technology, Japan) won a ChemLuminary Award in Public Relations for the Northern New York Section. This prestigious honor was presented to Barry at the American Chemical Society's National Convention held in Philadelphia, Pa., in 2004.
In addition to her position at CAMP, Barry serves as scientific board president for Ansted University and as a visiting professor overseas.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.
