Climate Challenges & Solutions Discussed at Leading Green ForumWritten by Ivan Chan
The main theme at this year's Green Intelligence Forum in Washington, DC presented by The Atlantic magazine is climate change- perhaps the greatest environmental challenge to face the world, as the problem affects every nation and ways of life. Industry, NGO and government representatives participated in today's discussion on both policy and pragmatic approaches to solving climate change. I attended on behalf of Carbonfund.org. Most participants see the value of cap-and-trade as a policy and economic solution. A good analogy of cap-and-trade was expressed by Phil Sharp, president of the policy organization Resources for the Future. "Cap-and-trade is like a budget on how much carbon is allowed to be emitted into the atmosphere." Bills such as the American Clean Energy and Security Act, which passed the House, use the mechanism to cost-effectively reduce emissions over time. Timing-wise, while healthcare is currently debated in Congress, some see a climate bill debated in the Senate this year. Maggie Fox, president and CEO of the Alliance for Climate Protection, said the momentum to move legislation exists this year, and that's necessary for political will. World Resources Institute (WRI) President Jonathan Lash said, "Congress will decide that doing nothing is worse than doing something." A lot of the momentum will come from the Administration, which over the summer has engaged key Midwestern states on the issue of global warming and why proposed legislation would benefit farmers and other stakeholders. The chairman of the Clinton Climate Initiative of the former president's foundation, Ira Magaziner, said that what motivated the foundation to get involved on climate change pilot projects is the sheer avoidance of the problem by many. The US and other countries have to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, or "our children and grandchildren will pay very serious consequences." The Initiative has worked with cities such as Los Angeles on ways to reduce energy consumption, such as by street lighting. 80 percent of the electricity used for street lighting in many cities is wasted as heat; whereas new approaches such as using light-emitting diodes (LED's) can result in up to 60 percent energy savings. Some of the major needs cited in addressing climate change are more access to capital and financing for research & development (R&D), and more focus on energy efficiency by companies as well as individuals to reduce energy consumption. Google's director of climate change and energy initiatives, Dan Reicher, said it will take a commitment by the US to invest in clean energy and other technologies to address climate change. A wind farm, for example, can take $500 million to build. By comparison, it took about $25 million in venture capital to start Google. If the US doesn't invest in R&D to address climate change, technologies will be developed in other countries rather than here. Siemens Industry sees a lot of opportunities for energy savings from buildings. Daryl Dulaney, the appointed president & CEO of the company, estimates that 38 percent of all carbon emissions come from buildings. Institutions, commercial building owners and lessees will need to do what they can to reduce this substantial carbon footprint. The country's commitment to addressing climate change doesn't have to cost a lot. In fact, notes WRI's Jonathan Lash, from the carbon trade part of cap-and-trade, states as well as the federal government can realize savings and revenues; about $12 billion a year could be realized by states from carbon credits allocated for renewable energy and energy efficiency. As we know at Carbonfund.org, carbon offsets are supporting innovative projects in renewables, energy efficiency and reforestation that are making emissions reductions today and help the transition to a clean energy future. Offsets are part of current bills such as Waxman-Markey to help achieve emissions reductions.

NELSON, Ga. (www.incnow.tv) - The city council in Nelson, Georgia voted unanimously in favor of the "Family Protection Ordinance."
The ordinance makes it mandatory to own a gun, though there isn't an established penalty for those who don't comply. Council members said it probably won't be enforced, but they say they hope it deters violence in the town.

The vaccine, Gardisil, is only approved for women and girls right now but its maker (Merck) is looking into its use in boys and men. Hopefully it will be available to males soon since they can also be infected and transmit the virus to their partners. A few things have to be cleared up yet, such as at what age girls should be vaccinated and if pediatricions should include it in their vaccination schedules. The CDC makes its reccomendations June 29th.
The only downside I can see is the cost: $300 - $500 for a vaccine that only lasts four years. Many communities do offer financial help for medical needs like vaccines whether via sliding scales or specific programs so hopefully this will accessible for everyone. Globally, this has the potential save 200,000 lives each year that would otherwise be ended by cervical cancer.

Integrative behavioral couples therapy
this wiki
Behavioral couples therapy has its origns in behaviorism. The theory is rooted in social learning theory and behavior analysis. As a model, it is constantly being revised as new research presents.
Behavioral martial therapy started with simple research conducted on couples in the 1960s. Robert Weiss was the orginal author of such research. One of his student Neil Jacobson pioneered the approached. He published a book with Gail Margolin, which launched a social learning model of couples therapy. [1] In this model of therapy, partners learn to be nicer to each other through behavioral exchange (contingency contracts), communicate better and improve their conflict-resolution skills. Early support came when Gottman found that as long as the ratio of positive to negative interactions remains at least five to one, the relationship is sturdy. When the ratio dips below there is a 94 percent chance that a couple will divorce.
The behavioral martial therapy model remains the most researched model of marital and couples therapy and was found to be effective for treating marital discord and depression in woman [2]. Parts of the model, in particular strategic use of the communication skills to reinforce abstence and open dialogue about treatment were introduced as a method for getting drug abusing partners into treatment.[3]
Early research suggested that the components of behavioral martial therapy worked as predicted. The social exchange component led to increased in martial satisfaction in the short run. The communication training program led couples to communicate better and produced more long term changes in contingencies between couple members [4]
Disillusionment with the model began with a study in which it was found that only 50% of couples responded to the therapy [5] The early model drew on social learning principles. In addition, it did not produce more significant outcomes then insight oriented couple therapy [6]
Development of Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy and Research Contrasting the two approaches
To strengthen the model, Neil Jacobson sugested returning to contextualism, functional analysis and Skinner's distinction between contingency shaped and rule governed behavior. [7]. This model became known as intergrative behavioral couples therapy model. It is considered a third generation behavior therapy or sometimes called clinical behavior analysis component known as integrative behavioral couples therapy. Integrative behavioral couples therapy seems to work slower in producing change initially but has led to a 71% improvement rate in couples[8] . In addition, Intergrative behavioral couples therapy does not produce as much change as traditional behavioral couples therapy but it does produce more acceptance [9]. At two years 69% of the Intergrative behavioral couples therapy group appears to be doing better, while only 60% of the traditional group does better, while martial satisfaction was also in greater favor for the integrative behavioral couples therapy group [10] However, the traditional behavioral couples therapy group had a larger decline in negativity toward each other then did the integrative behavioral couples therapy group [11]
Both the integrative and traditional behavioral couples therapy models have origings primarily in behaviorism. [12] This model draws heavily on the use of functional analysis and the Skinnerian distinction between contgency based and rule governed behavior to balance acceptance and change in the relationship [13] [14]
Topics Addressed
While traditional behavioral couples therapy focused heavily on change[15], integrative couples therapy attempted to balance change and acceptance.[16]
Integrative behavioral couples therapy addresses topics such as intimacy in couples relationships[17] [18] [19] and forgiveness in couples[20].
World Center for Behavior Analysis now offers a certification in behavior therapy. This certification covers knowledge of both traditional and integratve behavioral couples therapy http://baojournal.com/WCBA/WCBA.html

If you haven't heard, we may or may not have a gargantuan sea creature living in the deepest parts of the ocean. In 1997, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) discovered an ultra-low frequency and extremely powerful underwater sound, which they named the Bloop. NOAA did not, however, discover the origin of the sound.
Here's the recorded sound of the Bloop at 16x the original speed:
Here's how the NOAA describes the Bloop: [it] rises rapidly in frequency over about one minute and was of sufficient amplitude to be heard on multiple sensors, at a range of over 5,000 km. Dr. Christopher Fox, a member of NOAA, believes it to be a man-made sound, such as a submarine or bomb, or a geological event, such as a volcano or earthquake. Unfortunately, no such recorded sounds of geological or man-made events matche the Bloop, leaving the case open for further investigation.
There are some individuals who believe the Bloop to be the sound of an unidentified gargantuan creature. To give you an idea of the size of the unknown creator of the Bloop, the sound is several times louder than the loudest known animal, the blue whale. But it's not only the sound that we have to take into consideration, it's also the location of the sound.
The triangulated origin of the Bloop is roughly 950 nautical miles from the precisely-described location of R'lyeh, the sunken extra-dimensional city in The Call of Cthulu. Are you starting to see what I see?
- Mystery Sound
- Unknown Origin
- Underwater Gargantuan Creature
- Located Near R'lyeh
The God of Chaos and Madness has awoken! His reign of insanity is the only explanation for our trying, troubled times. Gas price inflation, international wars, riots, genocides, rapes, uncontrolled law enforcement corruption, it is all the work of the Lord Cthulu. Our nations, our leaders, and our world is being bent to the ruling of his dead-but-dreaming idealism. If only HP Lovecraft was still around, he'd know what to do! (Or, at least, write a sweet story about it.)
We should take bets on which happens first: the Rapture or the reign of Cthulu. Maybe they're two of the same? That certainly would explain Harold Camping blowing $140,000 on billboards.

Wow.. just wow.. I've been using Photo-Paint since Version 6 during the 1990s and I've never created anything like this before. Thank you sooo much for posting this here. It's given me a great jumping off point to make awesome looking maps.
Below is a sample map I created while following along in the tutorial. Noticed some weird grid lines showing up on the map, not sure what caused those and the cut out thing (I'd never used that before) is the reason I have so many mountains around the edges of the islands. Yet, this gives the map a unique look because of it.

Oregon Ducks finding balance in Pac-12 play
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — With their speedy offense and tireless defense, the ultimate goal for the second-ranked Oregon Ducks is finding balance.
They've recently shown that both sides of the ball are equally capable.
When Washington State mounted a first-half challenge last weekend in Seattle, Oregon's defense stopped the Cougars from taking the lead before the break, making way for the Ducks' offense in the second half.
The Ducks led by a narrow 23-19 margin at the break then pulled away to score 28 straight, including a touchdown by the defense.
Against Arizona in the conference opener, Oregon led 13-0 at the half then won 49-0. In addition to holding the Wildcats scoreless, the defense pitched in with two touchdowns.
"That's what this is, a true team," coach Chip Kelly said after the victory over the Cougars. "I thought our offense went out and responded and did what they had to do, and then when our defense can add a score it makes it difficult for anybody to get back into the game."
The Ducks (5-0, 2-0) host northwest rival Washington on Saturday night. The No. 23 Huskies (3-1, 1-0) are coming off a 17-13 upset of then-No. 8 Stanford.
Kelly was amused this week when asked about Oregon's ability to wear down teams defensively and take over on offense in the second half. He noted that wasn't the case in the first three games of the season.
In the opener against Arkansas State, Oregon led 50-10 in the first half, then allowed the Red Wolves to score 24 points in the second in a 57-34 victory — although the Ducks pulled most of their starters early. In a 42-25 victory over Fresno State, the Ducks led 35-6 at the half but Fresno State outscored them 19-7 in the second.
"We play 60 minutes. I don't get caught up in those things," Kelly said about discrepancies. "We play hard in the first half, we play hard in the second half. As I've said all along, at some point in time I'd like to give the other teams credit. I thought Arizona played really well in the first half against us and Washington State played really well in the first half against us.
"It's an amusing phenomenon to us that we always either play poorly or we play well, we don't get any credit to the opponents that we play."
The caveat in that, of course, is that the attention usually falls on the team that's ranked No. 2 in the country.
The Ducks' offense seems to grab most of the headlines. Led by redshirt freshman quarterback Marcus Mariota and running backs Kenjon Barner and De'Anthony Thomas, Oregon is the nation's fourth-ranked team in scoring average at 52.4 points, sixth in rushing average with 303 yards, and seventh in total offense with 550.6 yards a game.
What makes Oregon dangerous is its quickness in Kelly's spread offense. Twenty of Oregon's 33 touchdown drives this season took less than two minutes, and 11 took less than one.
But the defense has come on strong, particularly in the last two games. The unit has scored three times off interceptions: cornerbacks Ifo Ekpre-Olomu and Troy Hill had touchdowns against the Wildcats, while safety Avery Patterson returned an interception for a TD against the Cougars. That ranks Oregon second in the nation.
Oregon has allowed its last two Pac-12 opponents just one touchdown in 11 red zone visits. Additionally, the defense held the Wildcats and Cougars to just 81 yards rushing.
And yes, it's true that Oregon's plan is to outlast its opponents with a speedy offense combined with a well-conditioned defense, Kelly said. That's essentially the Ducks' balance.
"I think it's how we practice and how we prepare each week," Kelly said. "Our kids are in great condition coming into camp. They know we pride ourselves on doing things fast and playing hard here ... We practice at such a rate and get so many reps in that the games are a lot slower than practices are."

- Two excellent packs in one packageReview by Merry Prankster
I've had a #2 Cruiser Combo that's averaged 40 days a year outside for a decade and it's still in great shape.
There's only one change I'd make to DP's packs. I wish every pack had a "Deluxe" option to add the padded leather straps. (Posted on 6/16/2009)
- great pack, has done well in serviceReview by Wally
- Cruiser combo #2Review by Bluestem Paddler
- A Pack for All OccasionsReview by Red Kite
It would require to be a large daysack with ample space in the side pockets to accomodate the larger Thermos and Stanley flasks. I'd require it to carry blankets, a tarp and double as overnight camp pack as well as store all the essentials babies seem to need these days.
It fulfils all my needs and more. Incredibly well built as all Duluth packs are and with professional looks that you just know will get the job done. This pack is as much at home full of baby paraphenalia in the back of my car as it is in my 16ft wooden open canoe on weekend trip round a Scottish Loch. Or even a simple picnic jaunt through the countryside.
Made with traditional materials and traditional values which is a real tonic in today's modern lifestyle. And talking of children, I'll be handing this pack down to mine. Could you say the same of a modern nylon, techno-fabric rucksack? Hmmmm....

Brad Scott again combed his southwest Florida territory last week. It kicked off with a stop by Fort Pierce (FL) Central to see jumbo-athlete Giorgio Newberry. The 6-foot-6, 245-pounder says he's made a decision on what position he'll play in college. And he's discussed that with Scott. So is there a pecking order with this national prospect?

I'm looking into partnering with a few bloggers to write content for our site. Maybe 5-10 bloggers writing a 200/300 word article each a week.
I've been searching round finding good quality writers in our field (fashion, beauty etc) and have got a list of who I would like to contact. Each of the bloggers would have their own profile page and would be free to link back to their own sites, or other sites.
I was wondering what would be the going rate for a guest blogger? I was thinking around £10 a post?
If anyone has any experience in this then I would appreciate feedback.

The Symbiont was a sentient vermiform lifeform from the planet Trill. It was transferred from one humanoid Trill host to another upon the death of the host. Humans could also be used as a host to a Symbiont, however the Symbiont could not remain in their bodies for long without physically harming the Human host. (TNG: "The Host") A Symbiont could survive in a partly Trill host normally. (DS9: "Children of Time") The Symbiont took with it all memories of the previous Trill hosts. Upon joining, the new Trill host gained these memories. The Symbionts lived in the Caves of Mak'ala on Trill and were cared for by the Guardians. They communicated with each other via electrical impulses transmitted through the milky water they inhabited.
The Symbiosis Commission oversaw the joining of Trills and Symbionts. The general belief in the 24th century was that one in every 1,000 Trills was suitable for joining; however, the number was nearer to 50% of the population. This was a closely guarded secret because every year about 5,000 Trills became initiates while only about 500 symbionts became available. (DS9: "Equilibrium")
Rites and ceremonies
Background Information
The series bible of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine mentioned that "Many centuries ago, the symbionts lived underground while the humanoids were on the surface... and due to an environmental disaster, they were forced to 'join' to survive". [1]
For TNG: "The Host", the design of the symbiont was based upon a caterpillar with an octopus' head, but when next seen in DS9: "Invasive Procedures", the design had changed significantly, having what Michael Westmore refers to as a more "streamlined" design. (Michael Westmore's Aliens: Season Two, DS9 Season 2 DVD, Special Features)
According to Star Trek: Star Charts, on page 33, the existence of the symbionts was not widely known until 2367 (the year in which TNG: "The Host" is set).

Founded in 1996 at the Southside Community Center (a nonprofit organization dedicated to celebrating African American culture), the Southside Healthy Pet Clinic is a monthly walk-in clinic that is run by veterinary students from the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine and provides health-care for about 500 pets annually in an under-privileged section of our community. Through the collaboration of students, faculty, and veterinarians in the surrounding area, the Southside program provides routine veterinary care for pets owned by families whose income is less than twice the national poverty level. Clients pay a nominal fee for the services provided. This income is invested in the Southside Community Center's programs – not the Healthy Pet Clinic.
First- and second-year veterinary students provide veterinary care to animals that may otherwise not have access to life-enhancing and preventative medical care, thereby sustaining the human-animal bond that is recognized as a vital part of people's lives. Supervised by advanced student mentors, volunteer veterinarians from the community, and College faculty, the students serve as the primary clinicians. In recent years, the Southside Healthy Pet Clinic has taken its services on the road, offering day-long clinics in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and most recently, Albany (March 30, 2013).
An example of Learning by Doing
The students at the College of Veterinary Medicine have regular opportunities to deal with adults who are caring for the family pet on behalf of the family. While these interactions are rich with opportunities for technical learning, they can fall short in opportunities to understand the true value that the animal patient brings to the emotional and physical well-being of the family unit and, in particular, the children. It is rare, for instance, that our students have an opportunity to clearly witness the pride that children feel when they are involved in caring for their pet or the overwhelming compassion family members experience when an animal is not feeling its best.
The Southside Healthy Pet Clinic provides this essential experience for our students. Through the service-learning opportunity, students gain an appreciation for the need to sustain the human-animal relationship, they internalize the profound expectations that clients have of veterinarians and their ability to heal, and they learn compassion.
Help us Ensure the Future
To ensure the program's future, the College is partnering with people and organizations around the country to establish a $100,000 endowment. While protecting the endowment's principle, the annual payout will enable the clinic to maintain supplies of consumables like gauze, syringes, and rabies tags. The yearly allotments from the endowment will also be invested in necessary equipment like tables, mats, and fans. Beyond these tangible items, though, the income from the endowed fund will guarantee that veterinary students have an opportunity to engage with families who desperately want to care for their pets, to share their feelings and to reflect on the importance of their profession and the value that companion animals bring to life.
Thank you to those who already make this work possible. If you would like to learn more about supporting the program, please contact Amy Robinson at 607.253.3742.
The Southside Healthy Pet Clinic could not thrive without the help of multiple student volunteers as well as companies. Industry support comes in the form of product donations, for example flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives; diagnostic testing kits; and deworming medication. The Clinic would like to thank the following companies for their generous donations.

Black Project is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl Johnson by The Truth from Verdant Meadows, Bone County, San Andreas.
Note: If Carl is overweight when attempting to start this mission, The Truth will call him a "fatass", and tells him to lose some weight beforehand, presumably to make it easier for the jetpack to lift him.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- The easiest way into the Area 69 bunker complex is through the blast doors. To open these go to the control room
- The control tower has been disabled you must now find another way in. There is a vent that goes into the Area 69 interior. Damage the vent grate and drop in to gain entry
- Go and find the 'black project'
- The door to the launch bay where the black project is being stored is locked. Find a keycard to access it
- Collect the keycard and open the door to the Black Project
- The Black Project is located at the bottom of the launch bay
- You've found what The Truth wanted. You must escape using the Jet pack to fly out of the launch bay directly above you
- Deliver the jetpack to a drop off point deep in the canyons
- When inside Area 69 research area, various announcements tell the employees a variety of things including, but not limited to, downloading pornography is strictly prohibited, anyone caught stealing alien technology will not be invited to the next staff night out, and that running with scissors is dangerous and not permmited. These announcements continue even after security notifies everyone of the breach.
- Strangely, after the mission is completed, the SAM sites are re-activated. This is unlike the mission Vertical Bird, where the SAM sites are permanently disabled.
- The announcement made about running with scissors not being permitted is a possible reference to the video game company Running with Scissors, best known for its Postal games, which have often been noted as "GTA clones".
- The reference to "General Mills" likely refers to a well-known food manufacturing company in the US.
- Unless discovered at a spawn point earlier, this is likely the player's first encounter with thermal goggles.
- Neither the thermal glasses nor the sniper rifle are necessary for completing the mission, despite on-screen messages. A silenced pistol at ground level is just as effective in maintaining stealth.
- An alternative cutscene is triggered at the beginning of the mission where Truth calls CJ from a plane's wing [while spying on him] and mocks him for being too fat. In order to continue the mission, Carl must be thinner (the player must have less than 60% fat).
- The scientist in the base all have German/European accents.
- During the lockdown of Area 69, which occurs when personnel discover CJ inside, the over-head voice says "All personnel working on alien bodies evacuate immediately". This indicates that aliens, at least, do exist in the game. However, visual evidence is not available.
- When navigating through the hallways near the scientist who gives you the keycard, you can spot a crowbar on a table in a lab. This is more likely than not a reference to Valve's 1998 FPS Half-Life, where you play a scientist escaping an alien-filled underground lab, with a crowbar as his melee weapon of choice.
- Like the Alderney State Correctional Facility during Get Lost in TLAD, Area 69 has a speaker phone voicing commands and other chit chat to scientists alike that is only present during this mission.
- The ability of removing the jetpack once equipped is disabled during the mission. This is also the case in the next mission Green Goo.
- The interior of the Area 69 can be entered again by parking a Freeway near one of the ventilators, exiting the vehicle will allow CJ to explore the interior.
There is no money reward for this mission. The mission Green Goo is unlocked for The Truth. The Desert Eagle is now available to buy from the Ammu-Nation ($1,200).

Surprise! Your doctor may not be the best person to get you to lose weight – and it seems that it's largely because they are averse to talking about it at all. A recent article from NPR breaks down some of the troubling reasons behind why this relationship isn't making real significant strides in this public health fight.
78 million Americans are obese. There are 164,000 primary care doctors that are able to treat them. That's a daunting division as it is, but when you think about the average amount of time a physician sees a patient – maybe 20 minutes, it seems impossible to achieve the task of vastly reducing the prevalence of obesity. The kind of personalized information that is needed for each patient would take longer than 20 minutes to gather, and creating a personalized subsequent behavior change and nutrition plan takes even longer. Interestingly, the NPR pieces cites the American Association of Family Physicians in reporting that not even 50% of primary care providers calculate a patient's BMI (there are a lot of problems with BMI as a measure, and they've been widely discussed – how they don't take into account muscle mass, for example – but for some obese patients, they can be a reasonable crude measure of where the individual is in terms of major health risks and how to initiate a weight loss program). But physicians who know the history of a patient and have tracked their health for years are in the best position in terms of knowing how risky an individual's weight is.
Of course that's not all that needs to be considered – I actually don't think it's even the most pressing or pertinent issue as to why physicians aren't able to tackle the obesity epidemic. As the NPR article says, the psychologist in charge of the University of South Carolina's weight management center calls the topic of weight loss and obesity a "mine field." There can be resistance in going to the doctor for any number of reasons – shame or embarrassment, frustration, avoidance or denial, and even the very real fear of what a physician might tell them. And, importantly, deep concern and worry about not having the means – financially, mentally, community or family-wise, to tackle what seems like insurmountable changes in lifestyle. On the other side, doctors claim that some patients react defensively if they suggest that weight loss needs to be in their future.
This is a complicated dance, and I can't help but draw parallels in these kinds of responses to the relationship between eating disorder patients and their physicians, psychologists, and nutritionists. Weight is so inextricably tied to identity, personally and culturally, for so many people, that the mere suggestion of a necessary change – either gaining or losing weight – can feel like an assault on the person's actual self. How do we best navigate this? These conversations, first of all, can't be brief. They just can't. They require a meaningful relationship between those negotiating solutions, and for the individual who is in a precarious health position – whether it be due to restricting and bingeing and purging, or due to inactivity and unbalanced diets and genetic factors – it requires the sense that the person ostensibly helping them knows them personally, what their fears and concerns are, is patient, and most of all, is able to be consistently present and supportive through the successes and inevitable failures of the journey. And those relationships can be mighty hard to come by.

A military court hearing is scheduled for an Air Force Academy cadet charged with sexual misconduct.
The hearing on Wednesday is for Anthony D. Daniels Jr., a junior charged with sodomy, attempted sodomy and aggravated sexual conduct.
The hearing is to determine whether he should go on trial before a court-martial.
Speaking through the academy's public affairs office, his attorney declined to comment.
Daniels is one of at least five cadets charged with sexual misconduct this year. One was convicted and sentenced to prison and another had charges dropped. The other three cases are still in the military court system.

|Episode data
|"Sensei and Student: The Bond of the Shinobi"

Gotta See! Gotta Know! Kakashi-Sensei's True Face! (見たい、知りたい、確かめたい カカシ先生の素顔, Mitai! Shiritai! Tashikametai Kakashi-Sensei no Sugao) is episode 101 and an omake episode of the original Naruto anime. The episode was filled with inconsistencies to the rest of the series, as the episode itself was not meant to be taken seriously.
Naruto had started the idea of finding out what was under Kakashi's mask, which the two others, Sakura and later Sasuke agreed. They soon had a low-rank mission to tend the farm. They didn't notice that Moya Triad is following them, who will have their revenge on Kakashi.
As the team left for Konoha after the mission, Naruto asked Kakashi outright what was under his mask. Ironically, Kakashi agreed to show them, and prepared to take it off. After their intense anticipation, Kakashi finally took off his mask, only to reveal another mask underneath that was lighter in colour. While taking off his mask, he says, it's another mask, making Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura fall to the ground in horror while Kakashi laughed.
- This episode was based on a three-page omake that was included with the first Naruto databook.
- This episode was adapted into a mission in Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution. However, in the game, Kakashi put Team 7 to sleep with a genjutsu instead of tricking them.
- When Kakashi left a scarecrow at the hero's monument, it was a pun on his name; it translates to scarecrow.
- A bird appears frequently in the episode, first saying "Worst episode ever! Ever!" and the rest of the episode saying simply fool (阿呆, ahou), to mock Team 7's efforts.

Pueblo police have arrested a man in connection to a reported abduction at South High School.
Just before 9 a.m. on Wednesday a witness observed a white van with a black stripe pull up in front of South High School.
A male driver got out and was seen talking to unknown person for a moment. The driver then grabbed the pedestrian by the shoulder and put them in the front passenger seat of the van, got back in the vehicle, and left.
Police say they arrested a 34-year-old man. They say he and his wife were arguing. She left the vehicle and started walking as the man followed in the van. Police say the man eventually left the vehicle, assaulted his wife and forced her into the van and left the area.
The suspect is being charged with second-degree kidnapping, third-degree assault and domestic violence.

For those of you who don't know what a sideboard is in a TCG, a sideboard is a collection of cards (much smaller than the deck) with which a player can swap cards (at a one for one basis) between games in a match. This would accomplish the following:
1) Matches are not as easily predetermined based on what file types are being played. A player could pack cards in their sideboard to help combat their deck's weaknesses. This helps make file-building more interesting, but more importantly makes matches more competitive and interesting overall.
2) This actually makes the more specific cards in the game much more useful. Ever seen a card you wanted to add, but thought, "Man I don't have room in my file for that, and I wont exactly be using it every match"? Just add it to your sideboard instead.
Of course, this new addition only works if there's a way to play 3 game matches... and before that can be implemented, there should be an option for players to reconnect after getting disconnected XD
