In the January the famous Elan Sprint sports car was introduced with the new 126 bhp 'Big Valve' engine.
Team Lotus unveils the innovative Type 72 formula one car that went on to achieve twenty grand prix wins. With inboard brakes, torsion bar springs and the FIRST use of mid-mounted, side radiators it was possible to create a car with a flat aerodynamic nose. It was also the FIRST car to use a multi-element rear wing.
Austrian driver Jochen Rindt passed Jack Brabham on the last lap to win the 1970 British GP at Brands Hach in the new Type 72. Victory came again in both the Constructor's and Driver's championships.
Tradegy strikes - Rindt is tragically killed at Monza before the season's end.
Europa went on to realise its full potential with a change of engine and improvements to the handling, cabin space and styling. It became one of the worlds quickest production sports cars.
The Type 907 road engine was developed by Lotus and sold to Jensen for use in the Jensen-Healey.
Another successful year for Team Lotus. In the Type 72, now sporting the famous John Player Special livery, Emerson Fittipaldi won both Constructors' and Drivers' Championship.
The success of Team Lotus was reflected in the black and gold colour scheme available for the newly announced Europa Special.
The Lotus Esprit concept, designed by Ital Design, is shown for the first time.
Lotus causes confusion by naming its next race car the Type 74, a type number already given to the Europa. However, due to the sponsorship scheme on the car, the car became more commonly known as the 'Texaco Star'.
Lotus won the Constructors Championship for the sixth time, and Emerson Fittipaldi comes second in the Driver's Championship with Ronnie Peterson coming third.
Lotus' first 4 seater sports car was launched, the attractively shaped Type 75 Elite. Though more luxurious than previous Lotus, the Elite still uses the company's trademark backbone chassis and was still very much a sports car.
The Elite's glass fibre composite body used a Vacuum-Assisted Resin Injection (VARI) technology, demonstrating Chapman's ceasless search for technical innovation, and transfer of knowledge from pit-lane to production.
This year also saw the construction of the Type 76 Formula One car dubbed the John Player Special Mark 1.
An important year for Lotus. The Elite was awarded the DON Safety Trophy by the UK Minister of Transport.
The citation reads:
"The panel felt the successful use of GRP body construction plus the wide margin by which the Elite meets the US and European Legal Safety Requirements, and the empahasis placed on the reduction of the risk of fire in the case of collision, allied to the good fuel economy and low emission of
pollutants, added up to a substantial improvement of both
primary and secondary safety in a high performance car".
At the Paris Motor show Lotus stunned the world with the premier of the dramatic Guigiario-styled Esprit (Type 79).
The car was to reappear shortly afterwards at the London show, in company with the new 2+2 Eclat (Type 76). Both cars had glass fibre composite bodywork, steel backbone chassis, and were powered by the 2.0 litre Type 907 engine.
Lotus is honoured with a royal visit in March - HRH Duke of Kent. In the November the company celebrated 10 years at the Hethel site.
The new Type 77 John Player Special Mark 2 was unveiled, the FIRST car to incorporate adjustable suspension. After a gap of two years without F1 wins, Lotus returned to its dominant and winning ways with Mario Andretti taking the chequered flag in the rain at the Japanese Grand Prix. This was the start of a phenominal winning streak for Lotus.
'The name's Bond... James Bond...
' Britain's favourite spy, 007, had a fantastic new company supercar in the wedge shaped Esprit.
The Esprit was the mechanical star of the Bond movie 'The Spy Who Loved Me', firing missiles and doing a memorable submarine impression.
Team Lotus dominated Formula One - achieving 12 pole positions, and 8 wins, and yet another Constructors' and Drivers' double act with Mario Andretti doing the honours in the driver's seat. Andretti's steed for the majority of the season, the Type 79 (or JPS Mk IV as it was also known), again proved Chapman's genius for finding innovative engineering solutions. The car was a development of the Type 78, which pioneered 'ground effect' on Grand Prix cars, harnessing the airflow under the car to literally suck it to the ground.
To mark this victory, Lotus produced 100 limited edition versions of the new Esprit S2 (launched earlier in the year), suitably liveried in JPS colours.
Lotus' talents were much in demand; in December Chrysler UK (Talbot) called in the Lotus Engineering to help develop a high performance version of the Chrysler Sunbeam. The rally derivative of the Talbot Sunbeam (the Type 81) won the World Rally Championship in 1981.
Another Royal visit - HRH Duke of Edinburgh visited the Hethel factory.
The Type 80 "Wingless Wonder" F1 race car is introduced, to be driven by Mario Andretti and Carlos Reutemann.
The Type 80 was a development of the World Championship winning Type 79, and took the Ground Effect concept to the another level by maximising the underwing area of the car and not having the drag inducing topside mounted wings. However, following a number of poor results, it was retired from competition and the Type 79 was raced for the remainder of the season.

The College Mews Z-616 VOL. XXVII, No. 21 BRYN MAWR and WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1941 Copyright, Trutteet of Bryn Mawr College, 1940 PRICE 10 CENTS Paul Robeson S^g^^Ji^ In Concert To M\NewStuden�archGroup ChineseScholarship And Dramatic lnte&ration QUARTET PLAYS WELL --------- / Mr. Robeson Emphasizes American Folk Music In Interview On Friday night Paul Robeson sang in Goodhart for the benefit of the Chinese Scholarships Commit- tee. His voice is strong and sweet. He can use it incredibly well, and sometimes does. Although the first section of his program was not particularly well chosen, Robeson put it over because he has a good voice and because he has great personal charm. He sang two spirituals and Encantadora Maria, a Spanish love song, and concluded this part of the program with the effective singing and act- ing of Oh, No, John, an English folk song. Between his songs the Sim- fonietta String Quartet, which had opened the concert with four Eng- lish airs, played the Tchaikowsky Quartet in D. The contrast of RobesonV hearty tale-telling songs with the Quartet's gentle rendi- tions was not particularly fortu- nate. Mr. Robeson's selection in the second part of the program was better. The Russian folk songs and the powerful, sincere Prayer were the high point of the concert. Responding to the audience's de- mand for encores, Mr. Robeson sang several favorite spirituals, and the Ballad for Amercians. When the concert was over, Mr. Robeson talked with us about music �American music. He commented on the importance of the spon- taneous songs which have sprung up throughout the country, and the value of true jazz as American folk music. "When a song really says something," Mr. Robeson ex- plained,�"not just 'How blue is the sky'," it's really a contribu- tion. His greatest ambition, he said, is "to be able to sing like Leadbelly." Leadbelly is a singer of negro jazz spontaneous spngs, Also Considered At a meeting- on Wednesday, April 16th, the College Council dis- cussed problems relating to war relief on campus, the work of the Curriculum Committee, and the place of dramatic production in col- lege activities. War relief on campus is divided, actual relief being supervised byj the League, while an active de- fense group is in the process of] organization. The character of this proposed student organization] has not yet been determined. The group will be independent of the faculty Committee but plans to avoid duplication of activity. Plans for organization will prob- ably be presented to the whole col- lege at a mass meeting later in the year.

Hines put through 209 promo- tions last December; the State, County and Municipal Workers of America (C. I. 0.) protested, charging discrimination. Hines is an A. F. of L. man.

This was about the time of the Civil War. The present build- ing celebrated its sixth anniversary last January. The amount of mail received by the college, 15 per cent of the 200,- O00 pieces of first class matter en- tering the post office each month, is exceeded only by that delivered to the Philadelphia Suburban Water Company. The business office, of course, receives most of the incoming mail on campus, but Rhoads stands first among the residence halls, receiving about one third more than any of the others. 30,000 to 35,000 insured packages are handled through the post office each year, and the college has the distinction of receiving as many as are distributed in the whole of the village itself. 'The schools and colleges are fav- ored by better service, having three deliveries a day to the village's two. Of the 24 men employed by the post office, five deliver mail to the campus. The most faithful of these is Patrick Ryan, who has been bringing letters to Bryn Mawr students for 25 years. He likes his job and although they've tried to put him "inside," he won't change his position. "Everyone works with me," he said of the students. "I've seen 'em come and go, and come back again married." "College girls don't get married," said one of the clerks with a twin- kle in his eye. "I see 'em come back with kids," continued Mr. Ryan, undaunted. "One of the girls took my picture once under Pembroke arch. It was put in the college paper," he went on proudly. "Two of my sis- ters went to school there. They might be mad if I told you what years they were. You know, they might be touchy about their ages. One is a tutor there now, Mrs. T. J. Spillane, and the other one, Mrs. D. Noonan, lives in Seattle, Wash- ington." He twirled his cap in his hands and smiled happily.

The deeper intricacies of budget making and some financial facts will be presented in next week's Netvs, but in view of certain rum- ors concerning the financial status of the college, the following in- formation from Miss Park is of- fered. The financial turnover at Bryn Mawr during the college year is somewhere around one million dol- lars. The surplus at the end of the year approximates fifteen hundred dollars. As Miss Park explained, this is an extremely narrow mar- gin, but to date the margin has always existed.

Alternate Courses Offered Next Year Friday Afternoon Schedule Instead of Saturday Classes Finally Decided Goodhart Auditorium, Monday, Ajyril 21.�Dean Manning, at an open college meeting, announced new courses to be offered next year and explained the changes which the new schedule of Friday afternoon classes will bring. Most of these classes will be in first year courses, with second year courses scheduled for other after- noons during the week. The largest innovation in the curriculum is the presentation of two alternatives to the Sophomore English survey course: English Literature of the Renaissance, to be given by Miss Roller; and Mr. Chew's Literary History of the Bible, which has been expanded to a full unit course. Miss Stapleton plans to give another Sophomore course on English thought in prose and criticism the following year. The regular survey course will be given by Mr. Herben, supplemented by reading conferences with other department members.

Those years were ex- tremely difficult ones for labor, and the 1929 level of wages and em- ployment was approximated for the �rst time in 1940. .Miss Fairchild summarized five recent major strikes. At Allis Chalmers, the workers, already or- ganized under the C. I. O., de- manded a closed shop, a wage in- crease, and improved seniority rights. Through certification to the Defense Board, a settlement was arranged providing for an im- partial referee elected by both sides, and a blanket wage increase to be decided during arbitration. A different situation occurred at the Ford plant. There workers de- manded wages equal to those paid by General Motors. This meant an additional dollar a day. Other demands were for elimination of the speed-up, better personnel practices, and abolition of the Ford Service Department, a little- publicized organization of guards who patrol the plants in civilian clothing and report to the com- Contlnuea on Pag* 81* Hickory Dickory Dock, the Man Ran Up the Clock, or Time and Tide Wait for No Mouse By Alice Crowder, '42 Sunday, at 8.45 P. M., the bell rang. The undergraduate mind immediately responded. The con- tents of the Library Reading Room emptied itself into the Reserve Room, signed out books for over- night and disappeared. The be- wildered reserve room assistant looked at the clock. It was, indeed, 8.46, which meant that it was really 8.55. She looked at the stacks of books on the table, sighed with resignation and laboriously put them away. Ten minutes later the reserve room filled again. People were giggling hysterically, the books were assorted by the assist- ant. It interrupted her melancholy day dream of them all drinking down their ten o'clock milk which wasn't there. "Of course, they all wouldn't subscribe to milk," she hastily explained later, "but I was just imagining those who did." The people, wildly ejaculating to- ward the clock signed out the same books and took them away. The assistant had a sudden thought. She climbed up on a chair and look- ed out the window. The moon shone serenly down on the white cherry trees. There was no fire. Elsewhere the reaction was .more complicated. -"For whom does the bell toll?" roared an unidentified voice from Pembroke Arch As the echo died away, knots of people gathered excitedly suggesting births, deaths, and hurricanes. But it was only Richard's watch�it was on the blink.

Indians one step closer to fourth straight title

E-Mail This Story
By KLINT SPILLER
The Hays High School boys' track and field team might not have got the results it wanted, but it did what it needed to do at the Class 5A regional Friday: qualified plenty of athletes for the state meet.
On a quest for their fourth straight 5A state title, the Indian boys posted 23 entries for the state meet next weekend in Wichita, but it still was eight fewer entries than last season's state championship squad.
The Hays High boys won the 5A regional title with 188 points, nearly twice as many as second-place Salina South (96), while the girls took fourth with a score of 69. Newton won the girls' title with 113.
"I'm not sure if we'll have great lanes or seeds, because none of our times were real good," said Hays High coach Ryan Cornelsen. "We've got a good number of kids out. We had a few mistakes here and there, but I thought overall, we did what we thought we could do. Now it's time to be ready next week."
Hays High's boys dominated the field events, going 1-2-3 in the high jump with seniors Adam Deterding (6 feet, 4 inches) and Derek Bixenman (6-4) and sophomore Aaron Voss (6-2).
Once he was the final jumper left, Deterding attempted 6-6 once, but scratched his next two attempts to get ready for the prelims in the 110-meter hurdles.
Senior Cade Sharp, a two-time defending shot put state champion and 2012 state champion in the discus, did well in both of his events, but not as well as he wanted. He lost in the discus to Newton junior Cory Martens, who threw 165-2 to Sharp's 160-0, and then in the shot put, Sharp won with a season-best mark of 56-4.25.
However, even that was a disappointment.
"It's a personal best in meets, but during practices, I've been hitting 57s pretty consistently," Sharp said. "So if you see me kind of frustrated with a 56, even if it's a personal best, people will ask why are you upset? You can't go a whole week throwing 57s and then throw a 56 and be happy about it."
Hays High sophomore Peyton Harris also made it in the shot put, placing fourth (47-9.75).
Bixenman and Deterding finished 1-2 in the triple jump with marks of 43-9 and 42-4, respectively, and Bixenman was third in the long jump (21-0.75). Sophomore Hayden Kreutzer matched his season best with 14-0 in the pole vault, taking second.
Senior Emilio Mitchell, who suffered an elbow injury three weeks earlier during warm-ups at the Hutchinson Invitational, attempted to qualify in the javelin but failed to get it out, placing fifth with 158-5.
Mitchell grimaced in pain after every throw and was visibly disappointed after the event. His season-best of 171-11 would have won the meet.
"It felt like a knife was tearing my arm apart every time I threw," he said.
Mitchell did make it in two events, though, tying for third in the 100-meter dash (11.05 seconds) and taking second in the 200-meter dash (22.67 seconds) -- two events he would like to improve upon.
"I just need to work on my start from 0 to 60, because I finished good but I'm always last from 0 to 60," Mitchell said.
Hays High qualified someone in every single track event individually.
Seniors Josh Brungardt and Ethan Fort finished 1-2 in the 800-meter run in 1:58.70 and 2:00.44, respectively, and junior Shawn Herrman placed fourth in the 400-meter dash in 52.48 seconds.
Senior Derek Drees won the 1,600-meter run in 4:37.15 and placed second in the 3,200 in 10:22.20.
Drees, who qualified last season individually in the 3,200, started running the 1,600 about halfway through the season. The regional was just his fourth attempt in the event this season, and yet, he's already cracked 4:40 three times, peaking at the Western Athletic Conference championships with a 4:31.75.
"(The 3,200 and 1,600) are completely different, because it's twice as long," Drees said. "The mile doesn't seem like a sprint, but it really is. It's a much faster pace. You don't have nearly as much thinking. You just go for it."
Deterding and sophomore Dominique Carrasco went 1-2 in the 110-meter and 300-meter hurdles. Deterding won the 110 hurdles in 14.69 seconds, while Carrasco was second in 14.79. In the 300, Carrasco was first in 39.82 seconds, with Deterding second in 40.29.
Since placing sixth in the 110 hurdles as a freshman, Carrasco has made a name for himself as one of the best hurdlers in 5A this season.
"I want to get third or above in both," Carrasco said regarding his goals for state. "It's a big goal, but I feel like I deserve it because I've been working hard."
The Indians didn't field a 400-meter relay team due to several injuries, but they qualified in the 1,600 and 3,200 relays, taking second and third in 3:26.51 and 8:15.80, respectively.
The girls' side only qualified eight entries for the state meet.
Hays High junior Wendy Zimmerman led the way with four entries, placing second in the triple jump (35-5.25) and 400 (1:02.01) and third in the high jump (5-2). She also was a member of the 1,600 relay team that was second in 4:13.76.
Another member of the 1,600 relay, sophomore Mattison Schlaefli had a strong day.
She placed second in the 300-meter hurdles in 48.08 seconds and third in the 100-meter hurdles in 15.91 seconds.
"I was worried about (the 300 hurdles), but I came out and performed in them, so I was happy," Schlaefli said.
Freshman Haley George made it in the high jump with a leap of 5-0, placing fourth.
She also anchored the 3,200 relay that took third in 10:14.68.
The coaches made a last-minute switch the day of the meet, throwing George on the relay, which typically includes freshmen Courtney Green, Annie Gonzales and Lacey Elkins and sophomore Summer Smith.
After Gonzales pushed the team into first during the second leg, George helped hold off the other team's anchor legs to qualify.
"I was very proud of (Gonzales)," George said.

Random Thoughts on the Norwegian Terror Attacks
Random thoughts and observations on last week's terror attacks in Norway (per Thomas Sowell):
Just when the mainstream media was finally starting to learn that virtually every ideologically motivated mass murder attempted in the past 30 years has been committed by an Islamic extremist, some anti-immigration nut in Norway has to go and spoil it. It'll take us 30 years to retrain them.
The mass shooting perpetrated by Anders Behring Breivik that left scores dead at a children's day camp at Utoya Island "puts the spotlight on right-wing extremism in Europe," as the New York Times helpfully noted, and "typifies a new breed of conservative extremists," in the Financial Times' words. Yet the 9/11 attacks, the London bombing attacks, the Spain bombing attacks, the Mumbai bombing attacks, and eight million other blatant, graphic examples of Islamist-fueled mass murder somehow never seem to "put the spotlight on Muslim extremism" worldwide.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg mistakenly predicted that failed Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad was "[h]omegrown, maybe a mentally deranged person or someone with a political agenda that doesn't like the health care bill…" Attorney General Eric Holder urged us not to jump to conclusions about the ideological motivations of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hassan, who delivered a PowerPoint presentation to doctors on slaughtering infidels and roared "Allahu Akbar!" before his murderous rampage. The Council on American-Islamic Relations sniffed that Washington, D.C. sniper John Allen Muhammad had no Muslim connection and was most likely a right-wing redneck. But one loon in a Scandinavian village-state shoots up an island, and suddenly conservatism is on trial worldwide.
Some news outlets initially attributed the violence in Oslo to Islamic terrorists. One such outlet was Al Jazeera.
A group called Helpers of the Global Jihad, which initially assumed the shooting had been committed by Islamic terrorists, immediately announced their support for the perpetrators of the attack before later renouncing it.
Some honest liberals are admitting that the World of Warcraft-loving, Dexter-watching, Unabomber manifesto-reading Breivik is not a stand-in for conservative thought, anti-Islamist concern, or worry about mass immigration accompanied by lack of cultural assimilation. Froma Harrop, for example, writes, "What Breivik is not is a 'right-winger' in any conventional sense of the term. Calling this crackpot such puts him on a political spectrum occupied by people arguing about real things in the current century. Even 'right-wing extremist' is pushing it. Once you place the likes of Breivik in the political debate, you distort the views of others concerned with similar-sounding issues."
Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, to whom the Norwegian shooter has been compared, was revealed to have had Muslim conspirators, including accomplice Hussain Al-Hussaini. Clinton's Justice Department inexcusably declined to follow up on leads linking McVeigh to Al-Hussaini. Perhaps it would be prudent to wait a bit to see just who or what turns up in Breivik's checkered past.
In the last two years, the media have jumped to the following conclusions: Jarred Lee Loughner, who shot Arizona Representative Gabrielle Giffords, was a Tea Party fanatic; James von Brunn, who opened fire in D.C.'s Holocaust Museum, was a conservative racist; Andrew Joseph Stack, who crashed his plane into an IRS building, was an anti-federal government conservative; James Lee, who tried to blow up a Discovery building, was an anti-government militia member; John Patrick Bedell, who fired on police in the Pentagon, was an anti-Obama zealot; and Michael Enright, who stabbed a Muslim cabdriver in lower Manhattan, was a bigoted Ground Zero Mosque opponent. In fact, these kooks turned out to be leftists (Loughner), Bush-haters (von Brunn), anti-corporatists (Stack), environmentalists (Lee), 9/11 truthers (Bedell), and Ground Zero Mosque supporters (Enright). Given the media's track record on predicting the ideological leanings of would-be mass murderers, it's odd there are so few reporters humble enough to wait and find out the full story about Breivik's motives and associates before branding him a "radical right-winger."
No anti-terror groups are likely to propose building an anti-Islamic monument on Utoya Island.
It will be interesting to learn why "right-winger" Breivik blew up Oslo's Oil Ministry and not, say, the Ministry of Children, Equality and Social Inclusion.
The Oslo attacks were swiftly condemned by the Islamic Council of Norway, a lovely, state-supported organization that favors the death penalty for homosexuals.
The entire Oslo police helicopter crew inexplicably went on vacation days before the shooting at Utoya Island, an arrangement that prevented police from getting to the shooter until 90 minutes after the shooting began. It's not unreasonable to suspect that the serial killer timed his attack to coincide with the helicopter crew's vacation.
Norwegian police typically don't patrol the streets armed with guns—or any weapons, for that matter. It seems unlikely that Breivik would have carried out his attack with such abandon in a better-patrolled area, say, Central Park.
In a column titled "Breivik and His Enablers," New York Times op-ed contributor Roger Cohen writes that a good way to honor the death of recently deceased "Jewish girl" Amy Winehouse is "to confront the latest iteration of a European bigotry that kills." And Times editors wonder why no one reads their paper anymore.

Nebacanezzar wrote:True, but never underestemate the power of knowledge.
One more thing! *Wacks Zath with two fingers* Here is my character. I added a history to explain some things.
Name: Raphael Kireto
Age: 17
Appearance: Raphael is very muscular. I mean, more so than you would think. Not Hulk big, but paint him green and he could be close to the real thing. He weighs about 260 pounds, mainly muscle, and he knows it. He has short, black hair and cobalt eyes. He has no scars or mars on his skin that is visible, aside from one that is very close to his eyes and looks like someone was trying to cut his eye out. His frown can be very scary, and rightly so cause that is what he is going for.
Weapon of Choice: His fists. Sometimes he will wrap his hands in medical tape and then douse them in freezing water, making his opponents think he is hitting them with cement blocks. Lately, however, he has taken to wearing special gloves used by precision carpenters, where the first two fingers, along with the thumb, are cut off at the top to allow the carpenter to feel what he is doing. He will still sometimes wear the tape under the gloves, but that is beside the point.
Personality: Raphael seems to be a common case of an anti social teen. That is nowhere close to the real thing. Raphael is not anti-social; he just doesn't make friends with people. He prefers to keep others away from himself for his own safety. Only those who you hold close to your heart can betray you, that is something he learned the hard way. He also can have hair trigger anger, but he is working on that. His anger is usually seen when he is alone, among trees, where he vents his anger by slamming his fist, or legs, or any part of his body really, into them. Whenever his anger starts to build when he is around others, though, he will put his hand close to his heart and then calm down long enough to just walk away without decking someone.
History: Raphael's childhood was a happy one, but that is not to say it didn't have its ups and downs. The boy didn't begin to get involved in fights until he was 10, where he would frequently get into fights with the "bullies" at school. They would make cracks about his mother and how frail she was, which is an easy way to piss Raphael off. He continue to get into fights, despite what his father, mother and friends said. He just couldn't stop when he was mad until those other kids were pleading for him to stop or until his own friends or others had to hold him back. Durring this time he got stronger, a lot stronger, as his constant fights showed him that he couldn't control his anger he thought he could vent it by working out. It was a way to use up energy, his mother had told him, and he always followed her advice. She didn't know he got into fights, neither he nor his father told her. She was constantly sick, and couldn't leave the house unless either Raphael or his father was with her. Still, she was happy and that was enough for her. Raphael's mother was killed when a robber broke into their house while Raphael and his father were gone. After that, Raphael's father was furious, blaming this all on Raphael. His mother wasn't so weak until he was born, it appeared, and if he hadn't been born she would still be alive, his father rationalized. Raphael stayed another week in his home until he left after his father tried to kill him, he was 13 at the time. He depended on one of his older friends for support, but it came at a price. Raphael was a strong kid, strong enough to take on grown men, and his friend knew this. So he had Raphael fight in illegal underground tournaments, where the man got a lot of money from bets placed on the underdog. This went on for a year until Raphael realize his potential in magic, which happened in a fit of rage at his "friend," where he caused his hand to erupt in flames and slammed it into the man's chest, giving him severe burns, but not killing him. This rage came to be after he actually killed a man with his bare hands (crushed the guy's skull in with his fists).
Raphael later found his way into the school, where he remained in the background, detached from the others. He had become very private, trying not to stand out. This was a feat, because as time went by his form became very muscular for one his age.

I think it was that anime staff and maybe even Akira Toriyama running completely out of creativity. I think things would worked out perfectly fine if they didn't believe every saga needed to have the Earth or some other planet explode before the end, and that everyone needed to die in some ridiculously melodramatic manner (I say ridiculously melodramatic because they're going to be brought back anyway, so why the fuck would you mourn?). Honestly, they used the repeated deaths as a creativity crutch, using it to invoke a sense of tragedy or in an attempt to make something dull seem better. The only people who die and stay dead are the villains (until the afterlife became a place you'd regularly see). Death and then revival is fine for a particular character once in awhile, and can be great if done right. Otherwise, it screams Deus Ex Machina, and makes you think "Why bother even killing them off in the first place?" I'm not necessarily saying that's what happened here in EA, but I still couldn't help but draw the similarities. "Oh what a tragedy! Not."
It's just a good-natured jab. Don't think too much on what I say.

Sepsis is an illness in which the body has a severe response to bacteria or other germs.
This response may be called systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).
The symptoms of sepsis are not caused by the germs themselves. Instead, chemicals the body releases cause the response.
A bacterial infection anywhere in the body may set off the response that leads to sepsis. Common places where an infection might start include the:
For patients in the hospital, common sites of infection include intravenous lines, surgical wounds, surgical drains, and sites of skin breakdown, known as bedsores or pressure ulcers .
In sepsis, blood pressure drops, resulting in shock . Major organs and body systems, including the kidneys, liver, lungs, and central nervous system stop working properly because of poor blood flow.
A change in mental status and very fast breathing may be the earliest signs of sepsis.
In general, symptoms of sepsis can include:
Bruising or bleeding may also occur.
The health care provider will examine the person and ask about the person's medical history.
The infection is often confirmed by a blood test. But a blood test may not reveal infection in people who have been receiving antibiotics. Some infections that can cause sepsis cannot be diagnosed by a blood test.
Other tests that may be done include:
A person with sepsis will be admitted to a hospital, usually in the intensive care unit (ICU). Antibiotics are usually given through a vein (intravenously).
Oxygen is given to the person. Large amounts of fluids are given through a vein. Other medical treatments include:
Sepsis is often life threatening, especially in people with a weakened immune system or a long-term (chronic) illness.
Damage caused by a drop in blood flow to vital organs such as the brain, heart, and kidneys may take time to improve. There may be long-term problems with these organs.
Not all patients survive an episode of sepsis.
The risk of sepsis can be reduced by getting all recommended vaccines.
In the hospital, careful hand washing can help prevent infections that lead to sepsis. Prompt removal of urinary catheters and IV lines when they are no longer needed can also help prevent infections that lead to sepsis.

Bill Mackey extended the rear of his Tucson, Ariz., house along one side of his property and created a small, but efficient side yard in the process. The new volume offers shade from the afternoon sun, and a large overhang provides cover for the patio and fire pit.
Hearty desert plants and rocks make for dynamic landscaping.
Courtesy worker inc.
The home features an aluminum and spruce/fir (depending on orientation) rainscreen, as well as solar hot water and recycled cotton insulation. Photovoltaics will be added in the future.
Mackey used 8-foot-by-10-foot sliders and large aluminum casement windows to extend the public areas and preserve landscape views.
The windows are set deep in a 12-inch Western red cedar box for shading.
Bill Mackey, RA, and his wife, Rachel Yaseen, are true urbanists. The Tucson, Ariz., residents don't own a car, preferring instead to walk or to get around on bicycles or via a golf cart—which, apparently, is street-legal there. It's no shock, then, that when the couple were in the market for a new house a few years ago, they bought an old bungalow in the heart of downtown. "A central location was really important to us," says Mackey, who works as a project manager for Rob Paulus Architect when he isn't moonlighting for his firm, worker inc. "We needed the house to be close to all the services we use."
With a baby on the way, Mackey and Yaseen also needed more from the 808-square-foot, circa 1927 house than it had to give. Among other changes, they wanted to incorporate a strong outdoor component and extend the house in a way that would provide shade from the heat, which can easily hit triple digits in the summer months. But expanding the existing one-bedroom, one-bath structure—whose style Mackey describes as "California Mission Revival"—was tricky. A central challenge, he explains, was the property's "odd-shaped" lot, which "runs along an alleyway and measures 200 feet long by about 32 feet wide."
Mackey left the front of the house intact but unified the main spaces containing the kitchen, living room, and dining room; converted the bedroom into a library; and relocated the bath nearby. He saved the major moves for the rear, where he razed a small studio/garage to make way for extended private areas, including a studio for Yaseen, who teaches yoga. He tucked the addition along the south end of the property and used deep overhangs, "so the building shades the north side of the site," he says.
"The driving goal of the design was to make the interior spaces as small as we could, so we'd have enough outdoor area left over," Mackey explains. Large operable windows and doors bring in light and provide visual access to the courtyard, covered patio, porch, and fire pit. "Every door opens up to a window," he says. Pebbles and smooth stones of varying sizes delineate walkable paths from non-walkable areas, and large boulders serve as seating and climbing objects for the couple's son, Wexler, now 3 years old.
Yaseen, who handled most of the outdoor decisions, softened the site's hard edges with strategically placed potted cacti, bamboo, and flowering plants, such as yucca and orange jubilee. The whole south face comprises plants "that grow up in the summer and provide protection from the sun," Mackey says.
All in all, the spacious, light-filled addition Mackey designed and the climate-specific landscape his wife conceived create a desert oasis that rivals the allure of their downtown pastimes.

When Bill Mackey says "My life is crazy," it's no exaggeration. The architect, artist, and illustrator designed the renovation of his home entirely by hand in the spare moments when his son was napping in the old studio/garage out back. If that weren't enough, he's also a co-founder of design co*op, a Tucson, Ariz.-based collective of local artists, writers, designers, and architects whose main goal is "to educate the public on the idea that the design of the built environment can improve quality of life," Mackey says.
Group members provide architectural services to Tucson's Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in exchange for studio space, but they also have lectured, done pro bono work, and participated in community outreach programs helping schoolchildren with public art projects. "It's a delicate balance" trying to do all of these things, acknowledges Mackey, whose artwork includes pastels (oil on found wood), collages, and digital overlays on maps.
He'll need that balance even more next year, when he becomes MOCA's Architect-in-Residence. In that role he'll assist with any architecture-related issues that arise.
For Andrew Curtis, LEED AP, and Sophie Robitaille, RLA, ASLA, a Philadelphia renovation was the ultimate test of their relationship. The husband-and-wife team weren't married at the time, and this was their first collaborative project for a client.
"The only lots left to build on in San Francisco are these impossible lots that nobody can build on," says architect Craig Steely. Well, almost nobody.

Cystic fibrosis is a disease that causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs, digestive tract, and other areas of the body. It is one of the most common chronic lung diseases in children and young adults. It is a life-threatening disorder.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a disease that is passed down through families. It is caused by a defective gene that makes the body produce abnormally thick and sticky fluid, called mucus. This mucus builds up in the breathing passages of the lungs and in the pancreas.
The buildup of mucus results in life-threatening lung infections and serious digestion problems. The disease may also affect the sweat glands and a man's reproductive system.
Millions of Americans carry a CF gene, but do not have symptoms. This is because a person with CF must inherit two defective genes, one from each parent. About 1 in 29 Caucasian Americans have the CF gene. It is more common among those of northern or central European descent.
Most children with CF are diagnosed by age 2. For a small number, the disease is not detected until age 18 or older. These children often have a milder form of the disease.
Symptoms in newborns may include:
Symptoms related to bowel function may include:
Symptoms related to the lungs and sinuses may include:
Symptoms that may be noticed later in life:
A blood test is available to help detect CF. The test looks for changes in a gene known to cause the disease. Other tests used to diagnose CF include:
Other tests that identify problems that can be related to cystic fibrosis include:
An early diagnosis of CF and treatment plan can improve both survival and quality of life. Follow-up and monitoring are very important. When possible, patients should get care at a cystic fibrosis specialty clinic. When children reach adulthood, they should transfer to a cystic fibrosis specialty center for adults.
Treatment for lung problems includes:
Lung problems are also treated with therapies to thin the mucus. This makes it easier cough the mucus out of the lungs.
These methods include:
Treatment for bowel and nutritional problems may include:
Care and monitoring at home should include:
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a cystic fibrosis support group . Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help your family to not feel alone.
Most children with cystic fibrosis stay in good health until they reach adulthood. They are able to take part in most activities and attend school. Many young adults with cystic fibrosis finish college or find jobs.
Lung disease eventually worsens to the point where the person is disabled. Today, the average life span for people with CF who live to adulthood is about 37 years.
Death is most often caused by lung complications.
The most common complication is chronic respiratory infection.
Other complications include:
Call your health care provider if an infant or child has symptoms of cystic fibrosis.
Call your health care provider if a person with cystic fibrosis develops new symptoms or if symptoms get worse, particularly severe breathing difficulty or coughing up blood.
Call your health care provider if you or your child experiences:
Cystic fibrosis cannot be prevented. Screening those with a family history of the disease may detect the cystic fibrosis gene in many carriers.

A source "familiar with the situation" said Lance Armstrong confessed to Oprah Winfrey during an interview that he used performance-enhancing drugs, The Associated Press reported.
The source spoke on condition of anonymity because the interview won't be broadcasted until Thursday on Winfrey's network, the wire service said.
Armstrong also might pay back part of the money he received from the U.S. Postal Service, which sponsored the cyclist and his team while he was winning six of his Tours de France, a source familiar with the situation told CNN Monday night.
The source said Armstrong was in negotiations to repay some of the money.
A spokeswoman for the agency said: "We are not in a position now to discuss any of the legal issues associated with these developments and the prior relationship between the U.S. Postal Service and Mr. Armstrong, but we will do so at an appropriate time."
Armstrong won the Tour de France a record seven straight years, beginning in 1999. The postal service terminated its sponsorship in 2004.
Armstrong sat for the interview Monday with Winfrey and was emotional at times during session, the source, who was familiar with the interview, told CNN.
Armstrong was accompanied to the interview by a group of advisers and close friends, the source said.
Tim Herman, one of Armstrong's lawyers, had no comment about the interview.
Winfrey tweeted after the interview: "Just wrapped with @lancearmstrong More than 2 1/2 hours. He came READY!" The interview will be edited down to 90 minutes, Winfrey has said.
"We are not confirming any specific details regarding the interview at this time," a spokesperson for OWN said Monday night.
The disgraced cycling legend earlier apologized to the staff of the cancer charity he started, a publicist for Livestrong Foundation said.
Armstrong was tearful during the 15-minute meeting and didn't address the issue of steroid use in cycling, Rae Bazzarre, director of communications for the foundation, said.
Bazzarre added that Armstrong offered to the staff a "sincere and heartfelt apology for the stress they've endured because of him."
He urged them to keep working hard to help cancer survivors and their families.
Armstrong's sit-down in his hometown of Austin, Texas, with Winfrey was his first interview since he was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles in October in a blood-doping scandal.
For more than a decade, Armstrong has denied he used performance-enhancing drugs, but he was linked to a doping scandal by nearly a dozen other former cyclists who have admitted to doping.
What Armstrong said or did not say to Winfrey could have ramifications.
Some media outlets have reported that Armstrong has been strongly considering the possibility of a confession, possibly as a way to stem the tide of fleeing sponsors and as part of a long-term redemptive comeback plan.
But such a confession might lend weight to the lawsuits that could await him.
The interview will air at 9 p.m. ET Thursday on the Oprah Winfrey Network. Winfrey has promised a "no-holds-barred" interview, with no conditions and no payment made to Armstrong.
But the speculations swirled Monday.
"I don't think we're going to get an out-and-out confession," says CNN sports anchor Patrick Snell. "I think we're going to get something like, 'This is what went on during this era of trying to compete at the highest level.'"
Armstrong, 41, has repeatedly and vehemently denied that he used banned performance-enhancing drugs as well as illegal blood transfusions during his cycling career.
Winfrey will ask Armstrong to address the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency's October report, which said there was overwhelming evidence he was directly involved in a sophisticated doping program, a statement from her network said last week.

Baseball and family a winning combination
By Ken Meifert
Last month I was in Columbia, S.C., for a Hall of Fame Champions fundraising dinner hosted by John D. Baker. Hall of Famer Phil Niekro joined us for what proved to be a wonderful evening of stories, laughs and friendship.
Phil shared many wonderful stories about his career and his brother Joe, who also pitched in the major leagues. In fact, Phil and Joe Niekro have more combined wins in the major leagues than any brothers in the history of the game with Phil having 318 and Joe have 221, for a combined total of 539.
Phil shared a story of giving up a home run to his brother Joe – and it just happened to be the only home run Joe hit in the majors! For anyone who has a sibling, it is easy to imagine the good natured ribbing that went on between the brothers about that home run. It was obvious as Phil told the story that he and Joe shared a very special bond that baseball served to strengthen. Family is very important to Phil, who lost his brother Joe suddenly a few years ago. Reflecting on the loss, Phil took comfort in the fact that his last words to his brother had been "I love you Joe."
Phil's stories about his family caused me to reflect on the way that baseball brings people together – literally how it connects families across generations. Sound familiar? It is part of the Hall's mission to preserve history, honor excellence and connect generations. I am thankful to be part of this great Game and I am thankful for the friends that baseball has brought me – friends like our host John Baker – and so many others.
John is a Columbia native and a lifelong Braves fan. I chuckled as he recounted his parents telling him years ago that if he spent as much time on his homework as he spent following the Braves he would be an A+ student. Now, please don't get the impression that John did not get his homework done – he is a successful real estate developer today. But I believe it was a combination of great family and friends, his faith and the lessons learned from baseball that made John the outstanding person he is today.
As we approach Father's Day Weekend and the Inaugural Hall of Fame Classic Weekend, I hope you will take the time to enjoy a game (The Hall of Fame Classic on Sunday) or play catch (Family Catch on Doubleday Field Saturday afternoon) with your family this weekend. Make some new memories, share some old ones, and tell them you love them.
Ken Meifert is the senior director of development for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

It's the most wonderful time of the year... when we decorate our homes, share the joy of giving, and indulge in the smells, tastes and sights of the season.
By far, this is the most dramatic change within our English Tudor home project. While the renovation of this space took up a big chunk of the overall project budget, we were able to get a big bang for our buck, by reusing certain elements.
