If you liked or , you'd like the other because...
My first impressions of Tiger & Bunny were skeptical at best; a show about mascot superheroes plastered with corporate logos brings to mind some dubious product placement anime. Or even worse, the cutesy title could've foreshadowed some hybrid ecchi fest involving bestiality. Luckily, T&B isn't as shallow as it might suggest; instead, it's an unabashed parody that celebrates its superhero roots as well as deconstructs them.
In the corporatized world of Sternbild City, commercialism is king; heroes not only fight crime, but they also play up for TV ratings, their CEO's expectations, and "profit-points". With the companies calling the shots, these superheroes seem more like walking ads for Pepsi, Amazon, and Bandai rather than selfless Samaritans. Only 30-some-year-old Kotetsu Kaburagi, aka "Wild Tiger", remains the old-school hero who puts peace above profits. As a man "past his prime" (and with a daughter back home), Kotetsu must adapt to the changing times where heroism has become a commodity; all the while, a younger, savvier crime fighter named Barnaby steals the limelight.
Despite the cynical twist in its premise, T&B is an action-comedy first and foremost; the show playfully pokes fun at itself at every turn. The first arc of T&B is your typical buddy-cop show starring the eponymous duo, Kotetsu ("Tiger") and Barnaby ("Bunny"). As expected, the old lion veteran get paired up with the naïve, reckless rookie. There's a clash between ideologies, the odd couple fights, and hilarity ensues. The situational comedic timing in T&B is brilliant, and several scenes made me genuinely "lol". Comic book fans may savor the subtle nods to X-Men, Batman, the Joker and Harley Quinn. Due to its tongue-in-cheek attitude, the anime's first half feels more like a spoof of Marvel comic duos rather than a serious critique on heroism.
Although T&B executes its comedic bits fantastically, the same isn't always true for its drama. The show gradually evolves from the buddy cop antics of the first arc into more serious plot developments and characterization. Barnaby's tragic past involving his dead parents, already an unoriginal angle, comes off angsty and cliché. Kotetsu's conflicts are rarer and more compelling; not only does he face competition from a younger breed of heroes, but he also struggles to be a decent (albeit absent) father. The tension between the two partners in crime becomes a litmus test of trust while a darker, sinister plot brews just beneath the surface.
All too often, the show lapses into contrived situations in order to get viewers emotionally invested. Barnaby just happens to fly in at the right moment to save his falling partner; a miraculous typhoon creates the perfect rescue mission and the duo (surprise!) share the exact same powers. The show is full of convenient coincidences that just deflate the drama and dispel any sort of tension. As such, even though T&B has some genuinely funny and exciting moments, it also has some eye-rolling ones.
Despite the sloppy (and at times illogical) writing, I nevertheless found the show wholly entertaining. Sunrise succeeds in executing the anime well enough to keep it fun, despite its narrative laziness. In the end, I didn't cringe from the cheesiness so much as I enjoyed the show as earnest entertainment. Due to the excellent direction and pacing, T&B manages to juggle action, drama and comedy with great ease.
Sunrise's superheroes look like they were cut straight out of a Western comic book – and that's a good thing. Character designs are refreshingly crisp and colorful; each one is distinctive and bursting with personality. There's also a nice contrast between the heroes' flashy, sponsor-splashed costumes and their unassuming day clothes.
The actual animation is somewhat of a mixed bag; occasionally, the quality drops due to some sloppily drawn stills. I'm not a fan of the CGI transformation sequences, and the clunky costumed fights don't exactly thrill. T&B is packed with these action scenes, but where it lacks in style it redeems itself in fluidity; motions and movements are quite natural throughout.
T&B's soundtrack is smartly placed; slice-of-life portions are accompanied by rustic, bluesy guitars while drama scenes are suitably orchestral. During crime busting sequences, there's a jazzy, heart-pumping theme reminiscent of James Bond or The Incredibles. Newsflash jingles act as constant reminders that we're literally watching a show within a show, and Hero TV buzzes like a proper media microcosm. Although not download-worthy, T&B's score always answers its call of duty.
Shounen fans may recognize Barnaby's seiyuu (Masakazu Morita) as Bleach's Ichigo and Kotetsu's (Hiroaki Hirata) as Sanji from One Piece. In T&B, these two perform flawlessly, playing off each other with hilarious repartee. Even tense, dramatic scenes are well-acted and naturally convincing. Rounded out with a solid cast ensemble, voice acting in this series is stellar.
As expected, Tiger & Bunny's main duo drive the machinery of the plot. The dynamic between the heroes creates the perfect double act; Kotetsu endears himself as the dorky "funny man", whereas Barnaby is the naturally stoic "straight man". Their banter translates into comedic gold, but the show elegantly breaks down this stereotype as the two grow to trust one another. Kotetsu, in particular, is an extremely likable character; he's a washed-up ojisan whom everyone mocks, but his confidence and selflessness make him genuinely sympathetic and easy to root for.
The colorful side cast of superheroes adds an extra layer of perspective; minor characters are given spotlight episodes revealing the person behind the persona. How he/she became a hero and what motivates him/her are explored, forming a group of charismatic, lovable personalities. From the oblivious "King of Heroes", Sky High, to the "Dragon Kid" Pao-lin, T&B sports a lively, affectionate cast of characters. My only gripe is that Rock Bison and Fire Emblem didn't get enough attention while the Blue Rose episodes were by far the weakest; the skimpily clad superheroine seems more like fanservice fodder rather than a fleshed out character.
Alas, T&B's villains are mere caricatures in comparison to their heroic counterparts. The plot begins with a rogue-of-the-week format that fails to develop the bad guys beyond your average thug. The morally warped Lunatic is a disappointing vigilante whose twisted sense of justice feels like a cheap imitation of Light Yagami. Although Jake Martinez is a crafty opponent, his character is stereotypically evil and frankly unmemorable. Not until the final act of the series does a worthy villain emerge.
Tiger & Bunny offers a brilliant twist on the classic superhero genre while remaining faithful to the charm of its conventions. Still, T&B doesn't quite escape the pitfalls of predictability or the bland, uninspiring villains throughout the show. Although it's by no means perfect, T&B is consistently engaging with bucket-loads of energy, a refreshing premise, and genuinely likable characters. In essence, Tiger & Bunny simply feels like good ol' fashioned, "back to basics" entertainment at its prime.
In Sternbuild City, corporate logos not only cover billboards, but also the costumes of the super-powered heroes that act as its protectors. Veteran and newcomer warriors of justice alike compete in a reality TV show that offers points for apprehending criminals while giving champions' sponsors a chance to promote their brand. When the low-ranking Wild Tiger loses his backing after a string of outrageous, botched rescues, he finds himself paired with an up-and-coming spotlight-seeker called Barnaby. But with their wildly different personalities, will the pair be able to save their beloved Sternbuild City and win the game show, or will their constant tension be the undoing of the world's first hero team?
"he's a washed-up ojisan whom everyone mocks, but his confidence and selflessness make him genuinely sympathetic and easy to root for."
Exactly what I thought, and explains perfectly why I liked this character. I personally liked the style of CG that was used. Also, it's too bad you didn't mention anything about the OP and the ED soundtracks (the second OP in particular, I immediately got hooked into and went straight into my MP3 player).
Good review overall :)
Out of everything I watched that came out in 2011, this would have to be in the the top 3 for entertainment. Tiger and Bunny has some mixed views to people, but here's the thing:It's mainly fun, not much of anything else until later where things do get serious. One thing I do respect is that this show didn't try to become some intelligent show that got serious with poor execution. It was what it was and it isn't trying to be another series. About the soundtrack, it's actually decent. Just doesn't stand out until crimes happen or the last few episodes. Anyway, I'll be waiting for season 2.
The show was a fine flow of action with cliches here and there, just as you said. However, the "father" aspect of the main character Tiger was a little bit less favorable than his hero side. At some point he really seems like he cares too little about his child, even in her tough period. That feeling got resolved at the end though.
I think I'll check this one out. Might be my kind of mixed bag. Doesn't help that I'm a fan of comic books... So you have surely raised my interest. Thanks for the review Hesse.
Too good of a rating for such a mediocre show...spring had far better shows. Just one word, overrated.

Galaxy S3 Bluetooth issue
Friday 26th of April 2013
OK guys. First let me start with that how surprised I am that I don't see more people complaining about this since there is no way I'm the only person having this problem. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 I9000 and I love the phone but here is my problem. Every time I try to use the Bluetooth and wifi simultaneously, to watch YouTube videos for example, my phone keeps dropping the connection to my wifi network. Note that, while it keeps recognizing my wifi it just stops being conected to it. In other words: I could be watching a YouTube video or symply browsing the internet while listening to music through my stereo Bluetooth headset, and that is music that is on my phone not streaming, and after about a couple of minutes I'd get a message that reads, not connected to the wifi network. When this happens, I go in to my wifi setting and right there under my network it says, disabled. If I press on it it will connect again just to kick me out after another couple of minutes tops. WTF Samsung? ?? I know it must be some sort of interference between the wifi signal and the Bluetooth signal. I kn

Hotspots Dropping While Using FoxFi
Monday 09th of July 2012
Using Verizon, a Razr with ICS and FoxFi. Typically FoxFi works and wonderfully but with the new ICS update I'm finding that if FoxFi is somehow interrupted - a screen timeout, a mistaken app kill, or even without me doing anything - it won't reconnect at all and it'll read: Wifi mode has failed on your phone. Please use Bluetooth mode instead. That isn't exactly true since I'm able to create wifi hotspots. It is simply when the program is interrupted I can't create them afterwards (without a restart).I am running Juice Defender (which shouldn't be stopping FoxFi), I've also Ignored FoxFi on my auto-kill. The only thing I can think is that it is some weird ICS issue since this never happened prior to the recent ICS update.The reason I'm asking here and not the FoxFi forums at first is because I'm wondering if anyone knows if this is an ICS issue or a app-specific issue? Anyone know a solution to it? I'd really like to create hotspots without having to shell out the cash to Verizon for it (I pay them enough, damn it!) Anyone have a better hotspot creator?Thanks

Samsung Galaxy S2 - Bluetooth car connection keeps dropping since 4.1.2 upgrade
Tuesday 09th of July 2013
Hi,I have seen similar threads before, but as yet have not see a definitive answer. Hope someone can help.I upgraded the operating system on my Galaxy S2 to Jellybean 4.1.2 a few weeks ago when it popped up as an option one day when I turned on wifi. Since then I have had problems with the Bluetooth connection in my car. It worked perfectly well before the upgrade and used to work fine with my old Samsung Jet. When I turn it on it connects ok to the car radio system. But after a approx 30 secs the connections disappears, the radio blanks out for a couple of seconds and then the Bluetooth reconnects. This happens continually and as you can imagine is very annoying - I no longer use the Bluetooth in my car. I have tried various things, un-pairing and then re-pairing my device, clearing the cache in the Bluetooth Share and Bluetooth Test on my phone, but nothing works! I haven't done a factory reset - as have seen mentioned in other places. A bit unsure about this as to what it might do to my phone. Hope someone may have an answer.Thanks.

Bluetooth randomly dropping and reconnecting during phone calls
Wednesday 28th of August 2013
Like the title says, I'm having this strange issue of late with my bluetooth. During a phone at random points out of no where I'll it'll lose connection during phone calls. Doesn't matter if I'm using the bluetooth system in my car or my plantronics headset. I even did a factory reset hoping that would resolve the issue somehow, but not luck. So I'm hoping one of you smart people will know something that I don't or have heard of a fix for this. Thanks in advance! Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

Hisense Sero 7 Pro Bluetooth gaps when streaming music
Tuesday 03rd of December 2013
Hi, Does anyone else have issues with their Sero 7 Pro streaming music uninterrupted? I have two different Bluetooth adapters, one in the car and one on my home theater. When I connect to them via Bluetooth and stream music (that is on my SD card), there are little half-second gaps every so often. I can't tell if it's the music pausing momentarily, or if the BT signal is dropping out, but it's really annoying. A large part of the reason I got this tablet was to use it as a music server, and the fact that there are little drop-outs all over the place makes for a harsh listening experience. Does anyone else have this problem? Thanks,Toby.

Major Issues with Bluetooth Peripherals
Thursday 16th of January 2014
Hey guys. So I got a Logitech Tablet Keyboard (Bluetooth) for my birthday - in order to use with my Note 3. As a result, I went out and bought a Logitech T631 Mouse (Bluetooth) to also use, so that I could have a sort of mini workstation (paired with something like Splashtop, my Note pretty much becomes my laptop.)The issue I am having is that I cannot seem to maintain any sort of decent connection with these devices with the Note. Out of curiosity, I went ahead and tried them out with my laptop. Both are working flawlessly, and have been for the past 20 minutes. However, I seem to get massive interference issues on my Note. They keyboard doesn't seem to want to maintain a stable connection (constantly dropping characters) and the mouse stutters moving around the screen. One without the other seems to work better, but they keyboard still misses many characters. I tried turning off my Note's WiFi to see if that was interfering (I had heard WiFi could do so) which did have an effect (see below) but then again my laptop is also on WiFi and can use both of these peripherals without issue

The Daily Star
---- — Falls are a common problem for older adults. Every year, one in three adults age 65 and older falls, but less than half of the adults who fall talk to their health-care providers about their falls.
Falls among this age group are the leading cause of injuries, some of which are fatal.
In 2010, 2.3 million nonfatal fall injuries among older adults were treated in emergency departments and more than 662,000 of these were hospitalized. About 21,700 older adults died from unintentional fall injuries. The cost of fall care was $30 billion.
Twenty to thirty percent of people who fall suffer moderate to severe injuries such as lacerations, hip fractures or head traumas. Falls are the leading cause of traumatic brain injuries, and most fractures in that age group are related to falls.
Those injuries can result in a change in independence and may also increase the risk of early death.
If people are uninjured in a fall, they may still develop a fear of falling. The fear may result in them limiting their activities, which then leads to a reduction in their mobility and loss of physical fitness, and in return can actually increase their risk of falling.
Our population consists of many aging adults, and it is important to understand the leading risks and to take the important measures to help keep everyone safe from falls. Most falls occur in the home and are preventable. So looking at ways for individuals to age in the comfort of their home, by adapting their living environment and improving, maintaining and preventing decline in function is important.
Environmental changes include simple home changes to improve safety:
• Make sure rooms, hallways and stairways are well-lit. Use brighter bulbs; add lighting, and night lights.
• Remove clutter and tripping hazards, such as papers, boxes, shoes, clothes, etc.
• Arrange furniture arranged with clear pathways. Secure throw rugs with non-slip backing, or remove them.
• Furniture (chairs, sofa and bed) should be appropriate height to make it easy to stand.
• Keep cords out of walkways.
• Handrails in stairways should be on both sides, and grab bars placed inside and outside tub/shower and next to toilet.
• Arrange clothes at a good height.
• Use non-skid mats or rugs, or textured floor strips, by tub/shower.
• Use a shower chair or bench.
• Don't stand on chairs or boxes to reach a cabinets or shelves use a step stool with handrail to hold on to or use of a reaching device.
• Store food, dishes and cooking equipment a good height.
• Always immediately clean up spills.
Health-hip or bone weakness, osteoporosis, neurological conditions such as Parkinson's, multiple Ssclerosis, and Alzheimer's disease, and blood pressure changes make older adults more prone to falls
• Report falls to your health-care provider, as they may be a sign of a new medical problem.
• Have your vision tested at least once a year, or sooner if you think it has changed.
• Get an annual physical examination and have your blood pressure checked in the lying and standing positions.
• Walkers, canes and all medical equipment should be properly sized and fitted by a qualified medical professional.
• Reduce fractures by maintaining a diet with adequate amounts of vitamin D and calcium.
Many medications have side effects that can affect coordination and balance or cause confusion, dizziness or sleepiness.
• Ask your health-care provider or pharmacist to review all your medications, including both prescription and over-the-counter medicines, including herbals, vitamins and minerals.
• Always take any up-to-date medication list to health-care appointments, including over-the-counter medicines as well as those that have been prescribed.
• Make sure medications are properly labeled and there instructions are clear.
• Take medications on schedule with full glass of water and avoid alcohol in excess.
Proper shoes and clothing are important, too.
• Wear properly-fitting, low-heeled, sturdy shoes with nonskid soles.
• Replace slippers if they are stretched out or too loose.
• Do not wear socks without shoes.
• Use a long-handed shoehorn if you have trouble putting on your shoes.
• If you're a woman who can't find wide enough shoes, try men's shoes.
• Make sure clothing is properly fit including length to prevent clothing from catching or tripping on it.
Older adults often fear exercise may lead to a fall, but regular physical activity is the first line of defense against both falls and fractures. Physical activity strengthens muscles and increases flexibility and balance.
• Mild weight-bearing exercises, such as walking, climbing stairs and water aerobics, may help slow bone loss from osteoporosis (having strong bones, especially in your lower body, can prevent fractures if you fall).
• Practicing tai chi helps with balance and control. It uses slow, flowing movements to help relax and coordinate the mind and body.
• Group and community exercise programs help increase flexibility, strength, balance and coordination. These kinds of exercises also can be done at home.
• Care providers can also refer older adults to physical therapists to help establish an exercise plan based on a limitation or disease process to help improve walking confidence.
Falls are a health problem that can be greatly decreased if we as a society are able to help our older adults adapt to the changes that accompany the aging process. By helping our aging population to adapt with these helpful tips, we will be helping to promote a healthier and more independent lifestyle.

"We're not a county agency," said Jim Dame, chairman of the board. "We take insurance. We will work with anybody. That's one of the reasons for our name change. We're trying to change the whole concept that people view as to what we do. We do detox, we do mental health and we do substance abuse. We don't clean up everybody up, but once in a while we have a story that the miracle that has happened is just phenomenal," noting the organization has been in business for 41 years as a not-for-profit organization.
Gayle Shelton, a board member for about six months, said the work program is impressive.
"Everybody needs to be part of a community, and the feeling of family there is tremendous. Everyone there feels they have a purpose in life and are contributing something. So the work they are able to do is wonderful. You get a real sense of connection there, that they are connected to a larger group and they feel good about what they're doing," she said.
Comp Services provides services to about 70 individuals per day with developmental disabilities.
"They have cognitive disabilities, where they may be seriously disabled and need a day activity schedule or maybe actually be able to work and we provide that work and they are payed based on their productivity. The state used to give a grant for doing that as well as some fee for service and four or five years ago when the budget went belly-up they eliminated that funding," Boehmer said. "We don't have any fewer clients than we've had before, but we've got about 40 staff less than what we had before."
Melissa Learned is the vocational director and oversees a recycling program the agency provides to local businesses. Paper and cardboard products are picked up by the agency, sorted and baled, and then taken to Kendrick Paper Stock. The proceeds are used to pay the clients.The agency will soon be teaming up with Kroger to offer recycling to the community.

The Town Council set a date to hear public comments on a proposed blight ordinance for the Town of Ledyard Wednesday. Town officials believe that blighted properties around town are bringing down property values and pose a threat to the health, safety and general welfare of residents.
Drafts of an ordinance have been kicking around for at least two years. Some people say the town should enforce the current zoning regulations and "leave well enough alone," others say there is a definite problem of junk piles in Gales Ferry and Ledyard.
The ordinance doesn't stray or differ greatly from the building code and zoning regulations in place now but it does establish a way for the town to cite residents for violations and initiate legal proceedings.
Right now, regulations prohibit "junk" from being "placed, stored, co-located, or maintained outside on any lot in any district." And, only one hobby vehicle can be located in a side or rear yard and must be screened from public view.
The town says no more than one vehicle with an expired registration can be stored or parked outside, but also, that vehicle must be in good enough condition that it can be registered at any time.
The Ordinance's Definition of Blight
Any building, structure, premises or any part of a structure that is a separate unit, in which any of the following or any combination of the following conditions exists:
A. It is in a condition which poses a serious threat to the safety, health, and general welfare of the community as determined by the Director of Health, Zoning Enforcement Officer, Fire Marshall or Building Official.
B. Abandoned/vacant building structure as defined in Section 117.1.1 of the 2009 Amendment to the 2005 State Building Code that has become an illegal residence as documented by the police.
C. It is not being maintained and contributes to housing decay, as evidenced by one or more of the following existing conditions, or combination thereof:
a) Any structure which is in a state of dilapidation or decay or is open to the elements or unable to provide shelter or serve the purpose for which it was constructed due to damage, dilapidation or decay;
b) Premises containing accumulating debris; and
c) Landscaping on any premises, including, but not limited to, trees, shrubs, hedges, grass and plants, which physically hinder or interfere with the lawful use of abutting premises or block or interfere with the use of any public sidewalk and/or private street or right-of-way or any road sign.
D. It is attracting illegal activity as evidenced by the following:
a) Multiple felony or misdemeanor arrests on the premises;
b) Abandoned and/or vacant building or structure devoid of water, sewer, utility function or service, that has become an illegal residence.
E. Is a fire hazard as determined by the Fire Marshal or documented via fire department records;
F. The premises creates substantial and unreasonable interference with the use and enjoyment of surrounding premises as reported by neighborhood complaints, fire, public safety or health department reports.
A full copy of the proposed ordinance is linked here and on the town's website.
The public will have a chance to discuss the town's proposed ordinance on Wednesday, Oct. 10 at 6:30 p.m. in the Town Hall Annex.

The superintendent described Monday's incident involving the discovery of the airsoft pistol as "a very unfortunate incident, but I feel Mrs. Yeager and her staff handled the situation very professionally."
That included sending notification of the incident to parents of Cedar Heights students, he said.
"A brief description was sent out to all parents, of Cedar Heights kids, through our AlertNow message system," he said.
The following is the message that was delivered by phone via AlertNow:
"This is Sharon Yeager, Principal of CH Elem. I need to make you aware of a situation that occurred at school today. A student brought a BB gun to school in his backpack. The student and the BB gun were removed from the classroom. Our school resource officer was contacted; the student and the weapon were removed from the building. At no time were our students at risk or threatened. The safety of our students and staff will always be our utmost priority. The District and I are working together and taking appropriate actions to deal with this matter."
Merchant said the notification was made "to alleviate any kind of fear because sometime things get rolling out on the rumor mill, so parents were contacted reassuring them that at no time were their children in danger."
The superintendent said the district implemented the AlertNow rapid notification service "at the first of last year," making this the second school year that the district has utilized the service.
He explained that "when a student's enrolled, the parents are automatically entered into the system."
When The News spoke with Merchant around noon on Tuesday, he said he had not received any concerned calls from parents in the district regarding Monday's incident.
"That's a big part of why we use the AlertNow system, it's a great communication tool for a situation like this," he said.
In addition, he said the alert system is also useful when notifying parents of "everyday things," like sending out reminders for parent-teacher conferences or spreading the word about school closures due to inclement weather.
"And if there is ever an emergency situation where we had to do a lockdown, we could get a hold of parents very quickly and notify them of the situation. It's just a great communication tool," Merchant said.

FitzPatrick cleared on shares fraud
Former Anglo Irish Bank chairman Sean FitzPatrick has been found not guilty on six fraud charges over a multi-million loans-for-shares deal, a court has heard.
The one-time chief executive of the defunct bank is now on trial for 10 charges linked to a plan to lend money to trusted investors to buy stock in the bank.
The deal was part of a plan concocted in 2008 to prop up Anglo's share price amid reports that former billionaire Sean Quinn had built up a secret 28% stake in the bank.
Judge Martin Nolan told the jury at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court that he was directing verdicts of not guilty against FitzPatrick on six counts.
They relate to the lending of millions of euro to six members of the Quinn family to convert the hidden share derivatives Mr Quinn invested in to ordinary stock.
A second former executive, Anglo's former managing director of lending Pat Whelan, has been found not guilty on seven separate fraud charges, the court heard.
He had been accused of being privy to the fraudulent alteration of loan facility letters to seven individuals in October 2008.
"For good reason I have directed a not guilty verdict in these matters," Judge Nolan said.
The state's case against former Anglo executives Mr Whelan, former chief risk officer William McAteer and Mr FitzPatrick alleges they were involved in providing unlawful financial assistance to individuals in July 2008 to buy shares in the bank, contrary to Section 60 of the Companies Act.
The plan was designed to unwind the secret 28% stock position built up by Mr Quinn in a 2.4 billion euro (£1.98bn) investment in Contracts for Difference (CfD), a trading derivative allowing him to gamble on the share price rising without ever owning the shares in full.
The prosecution case finished last Friday.
The Anglo clients allegedly involved in the deal included six members of the Quinn family and a group of investors and developers trusted by the bank and known as the Maple 10.
Each of them borrowed 45 million euro (£37m) while the Quinns borrowed a total of 170 million euro (£140m).
FitzPatrick, of Whitshed Road, Greystones, Co Wicklow, McAteer, of Auburn Villas, Rathgar, south Dublin, and Whelan, of Coast Road, Malahide, Co Dublin, are on bail.
Whelan and McAteer are on trial for 16 counts of breaches of company law over the loans.
FitzPatrick is on trial for 10 counts relating to the loans to the Maple 10. They have all pleaded not guilty.
The trial is in its closing stages.

LONDON — Moments after running the fastest 5,000 meters of her life, Kim Conley stepped off the track at Olympic Stadium with a weary smile and a hint of a wave.
"That was hard," she said, still catching her breath. "I didn't expect it to be as fast from the beginning."

The greens were great, the weather was better and the firs-ever Mercer County Spay Association golf tournament held recently at the Wolf Creek Golf Club was a success.
Our association had 16 teams tee it up, although I thought we would have more. The folks who run Wolf Creek Golf Club and others have assured us that for a first-time tournament, it was a good turnout.
There are a lot of people to thank for getting us started. They include: Mountaineer Lanes (a team and hole sponsor), Grant's Markets, Roger Pike, Ramey Chevrolet Princeton, John Shott, True Wheel of Princeton, Kathy Kennedy, Happy Tails Animal Clinic, Dr. Robert Stevens, DDM, Gary Bowling's House of Art, TCR's Bar and Grill, Mark Saunders of BSC, Sarah's on Cumberland Road, Veterinarian Associates of Bluefield and Princeton, Mac Construction LLC, Judy Nelson of Dublin, Va., Dave and Susie Tuggle of Radford, Va., Bluefield Elks, John Rupe of Pulaski, Shelby Kitts of Princeton, Consol Energy Inc., Tahoe Keys Resort, Lake Tahoe NV/CA, Wes Hinkle of State Farm in Princeton, Seaver Funeral Service Inc., Anonymous (two holes honoring parents and pets), Animal Care Center of Princeton, Samantha Perry and Brian Woodson of the Daily Telegraph, WVVA and Craig Hammond of 1440 AM.
These contributors and members of the 16 teams made is possible for our association to spay and neuter approximately 100 animals. Mistakes were made (mostly mine) but like a well-known regional college coach stated following a stunning loss in the Gator Bowl: "We'll be back and we'll be better."

One Sunny IPO
GT Solar plans an offering.
GT Solar, a supplier of equipment used to make photovoltaic wafers and other components of solar power systems, is set to go public at an offering price of $16.50.
The offering could be worth $500 million at a time when the market for initial public offerings, solar or otherwise, remains in a deep slump. The only other solar IPO this year, installer Real Goods Solar, slumped from a debut price of $10 to around $6.
MarketWatch quotes Rob Lutts of Cabot Money Management:
"They were able to bring this to market very successfully because they have a huge backlog of $1.3 billion, and the customer base in very strong," Lutts said. "This is true of many companies in this space. There's more orders than product around. This company is in that same category."
GT's offering could be a tonic for holders of silicon-wafer maker MEMC, whose shares slumped more than 20 percent this morning after it missed second-quarter earnings forecasts and cut full-year earnings expectations.
Check out U.S. News 's green investing guide for a look at the volatile future for solar and a rundown of the companies reshaping the energy sector today.

When we asked you where you stood, most of you said you loved the idea! Whether you're currently on the lookout for ways to make a standout cocktail or love some wedding eye candy, here are some great cocktail ideas from real weddings. Photo by Max Wanger via 100 Layer Cake Gold Sugar Rim What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For formal weddings, you can still have fun with the signature cocktail while aligning with a gold-and-white theme. Serve clear or white cocktails (white cosmo, anyone?) with classy accents like a gold sugar rim and white orchid flower. Photo by White Loft Studio via Style Me Pretty 1 / 13 Create a Menu What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you can't settle on one signature cocktail, then you don't have to! Make a menu of a few choices and give them silly, humorous names. Photo by Studio Castillero via 100 Layer Cake 2 / 13 Colorful Daytime Cocktails What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For daytime weddings, opt for cocktails with light, bright citrusy flavors. We're thinking a riff on a tequila sunrise is sure to lure guests to the bar. Photo by Jodi McDonald Photography via Style Me Pretty 3 / 13 Whimsical Garnishes What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If guests are having to wait a while before they eat, then make a cocktail that is heavy on the garnishes. Load it up with skewers of fruit for a cocktail like the piña colada (or veggies if it's a Bloody Mary). Then play it up with a colorful straw and a customized stir stick. These cocktails have cartoon images of the bride or groom along with their names and the date of the wedding. Photo by Polly Alexandre via Style Me Pretty 4 / 13 Creative Coasters What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Serve the signature cocktails on customized napkins and coasters, imprinted with the name and ingredients in the cocktails. Photo by Max Wanger via 100 Layer Cake 6 / 13 Exotic Floral Garnishes What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Garnish a signature cocktail with an exotic flower, like an orchid, to deem it different and special from the other cocktails offered at the bar. The bright color will attract buzz in the room, and more people are likely to request it. Photo by Nina Mullins Photography via Style Me Pretty 6 / 13 Unusual Serving Vessels What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Few will be able to resist a cocktail in an unusual serving vessel, like a coconut. Something about coconut-contained cocktails says relax and kick back! Photo by Jen of Birds of a Feather via 100 Layer Cake 7 / 13 Something Blue Cocktail What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Every wedding should have something blue, so why not make it the signature cocktail? Develop a recipe using Hpnotiq or blue Curacao. Photo by Taylor Lord Photograph via Style Me Pretty 8 / 13 DIY Drink Stirrers What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Nothing is cherished more than a handmade gift. If you're the crafty type, then make something like these cocktail doily stirrers, which guests will gladly bring home with them. Photo by Flutter Glass Photography via 100 Layer Cake 9 / 13 Bride/Groom Recommendations What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Even if creating signature cocktails isn't you and your future husband's thing, you can still recommend your favorites at the bar. Offer something stiff for liqueur drinkers and something Champagne-based for wine drinkers. Photo by The Mullers via 100 Layer Cake 11 / 13 Infused Liqueurs What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 More and more bars are infusing interesting flavors in liqueur like bacon, mango, and even hibiscus flowers, as pictured. It's an easy way to instantly add interest to a signature cocktail. Photo by Spoon Fork Bacon via Style Me Pretty 11 / 13 Retro Throwback What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you're planning a themed wedding (the '50s, for example), then revive a cocktail recipe from that era. It's the fastest way to set the mood and send your guests back in time. Photo by Gideon Photography via 100 Layer Cake 12 / 13 Out-of-the-Ordinary Juices What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Mix up a cocktail that contains juices that match your color scheme and are out of the ordinary (beyond orange juice and cranberry). This ombré margarita looks like it contains cherry and grapefruit juices.

A federal official has confirmed that a fire has broken out on a blown-out Gulf of Mexico gas well.
Eileen Angelico of the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement confirmed to The Associated Press that the evacuated rig caught fire late Tuesday. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
The drilling rig involved was evacuated early Tuesday when the blowout occurred.
Angelico says it wasn't immediately clear what caused the gas to ignite. And it wasn't known what efforts to extinguish the blaze were being made early Wednesday.
Personnel with Wild Well Control Inc. were at the site to assess how and when to try to bring the well under control.
Tuesday, July 23, 2013
Authorities have restricted air and nautical traffic around the site of a natural gas well blowout in the Gulf of Mexico.
Forty-seven workers on a drilling rig were evacuated after the well, located 55 miles off the Louisiana coast, blew wild Tuesday morning. No injuries were reported and there was no fire as of Tuesday afternoon. It remained unclear how or when the well would be shut down.
The Coast Guard said it was keeping nautical traffic out of an area within 500 meters of the site. The Federal Aviation Administration restricted aircraft up to 2,000 feet above the area.
A federal agency said Tuesday's blowout occurred on a rig drilling what is known as a "sidetrack well" near an unmanned platform that was not currently producing natural gas.

"Bob Roberts" isn't simply another satire about slimy political schemes.
It's a satire about a whole mindset, about the anything-goes greed of the 1980s, when decent American values were replaced by the cold cynicism of management experts. The bottom line became the only line. Winning was everything. The self-promotion spawned by the aggressive new M.B.A. programs made business into a new kind of jungle - one where the animals ate even when they weren't hungry.
Bob Roberts, the hero of Tim Robbins' new film, is a "populist" candidate for the Senate in Pennsylvania. He's a self-made millionaire who sings folk songs to his audiences, songs with titles like "The Times They are a-Changin' Back." For him, as for others, populism no longer means the solidarity of the working class, it means its division - race against race, worker against worker, with hate being stirred up to obscure the real enemy, the profit-takers who are raping the companies and leaving them stripped and dead.
Roberts, played by Robbins, is a tall, open-faced man with an infectious grin that can turn, in an instant, into a mask of anger. His message to his supporters is that greed is good. From certain angles, in a certain light, he looks uncannily like another two-faced populist, Citizen Kane. His opponent is a weary old liberal senator named Brickley Paiste (Gore Vidal), whose message seems irrelevant. Voters don't want to hear about right or wrong. They have one question: What's in it for me? The movie is shot as if it were a documentary. The cameras are sometimes on when they're not supposed to be. We eavesdrop on conversations we're not meant to hear. We begin to understand the sinister implications of the Bob Roberts campaign. His campaign bus isn't just a headquarters, it's a trading center; he's got brokers buying and selling day and night. His connections are unsavory. There are rumors about arms deals and savings and loans scandals. His campaign manager (Alan Rickman) is a study in realpolitik: Anything is justified if it will win votes. There is even an attack on poor old Paiste for dating teenage girls. There are photos for proof.
Paiste protests: "That's my daughter's best friend. My daughter was cut out of the picture." Nobody listens and nobody cares.
I like "Bob Roberts" - I like its audacity, its freedom to say the obvious things about how our political process has been debased - but if it had been only about campaign tactics and techniques, I would have liked it more.
There is another thread in the movie that doesn't work as well.
It involves an investigative journalist named Bugs Raplin (Giancarlo Esposito), who has inside dirt on Roberts, and eventually is framed through a singularly unlikely chain of events. Even before the movie's unconvincing ending, Bugs has been a distraction because the character behaves like some kind of goofball; he may have the facts, but he doesn't seem trustworthy, and the movie would have been more effective if it had treated this part of the plot more realistically.
Apart from that, though, "Bob Roberts" is quite a package.
Watching it might be an education for some voters, who will recognize in the movie political techniques they see being practiced all the time in real life. There is an eerie quality to Roberts' down-home fascism, the way he strums that guitar and unashamedly looks like a Woody Guthrie, a Bob Dylan, a folk-singing regular guy, while his lyrics give us the litany of greed.
Tim Robbins made this movie mostly by himself. He wrote it, directed it, and stars in it, and maybe that uncanny visual resemblence to the young Orson Welles is poetic justice. It's quite an achievement.
Robbins has a range from the endearing baseball rookie in "Bull Durham" to the cold Hollywood executive in "The Player," and here he uses his very attractiveness - his open nature, his sunny smile - to show the hazards of choosing politcal candidates on the basis of their ability to make us feel comfortable.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...
