text: Cruciferous vegetables Usually these cruciferous vegetables are the girls love, like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and so on, but if you want to make a belly of the bride, you'd want to stay away from them. With beans, digestion of these vegetables in the human body will produce gas, which will make your belly bulge. If you must eat them, they are best cooked before eating, it can also help reduce the gas produced in the human body to digest sugar. Salty food Since sodium allows you to keep your body hydrated, so you cannot completely eliminate salt intake, but also pay attention to try to keep a daily intake of 2300 mg of salt in. Carbonated drinks Champagne, soda water...... Basically if there is a bubble drink, stay away from them. Carbonated drinks as well, they will release carbon dioxide, you immediately feel swollen up. http://www.dreamy-dress.com/chiffon-sheathcolumn-strapless-beaded-applique-empire-waist-ruching-sweep-train-wedding-dress-p-2480.html http://www.dreamy-dress.com/tencel-aline-one-shoulder-ruffles-side-draping-ruching-floorlength-prom-evening-dress-p-161.html

Levi & Korsinsky is investigating the Board of Directors of Zhongpin Inc. ("Zhongpin" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: HOGS) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with the receipt of a going private proposal from its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Xianfu Zhu.

2011 and 2012 Sonata - Pulling Problem
itsmesueb Posts: 3Hi,
Sorry for the late delay. The problem started on the way home from the dealership after I bought it. As I said, I purchased the car 90 miles from my home so I had plenty of drive time to determine if I came across any noticeable quirks. I purchased the 2.4 Limited. I did not opt for the Nav. system but now too am regretting that choice. Not because of the camera/Nav feature, but because of the irritating buzz from the right side door speakers. In fact the entire sound system set up is as frustrating as any I have ever owned. To start with the built in antenna sucks! I don't know where it is or what kind it is but the music constantly fades and I can't pick up half the channels I could with my old Buick. Then, every song sounds totally different in terms of the equalizer being able to stabilize the sound quality. In other words a song will play and sound almost like listening to an am station, then the next song will come on and sound beautifully balanced with the right amount of everything, and the next will come through with what sounds like 90% coming out of the front speakers and the base buzzing out the drivers side door speaker!! It's crazy. I am constantly reaching across going through the entire sound menu setup(which is what you have too do) to try and change the settings so that the music will sound balanced! Anyway, I hate to make this car sound as though it has no redeeming qualities, but for having been the Limited model I am really surprised at some of the things I did not pay closer attention too when shopping around. In case any of you make the assumption I did and overlook this other little detail....it does not come with the passenger side seat powered. Limited only has power on the driver side seat, so be prepared to feel like you are sitting on the floor. Sorry for all the negative...can you are tell I might be experiencing just a tiny bit of "buyers remorse"? -

gls2011 Posts: 1I had terrible road noise in my 2011 GLS. I just replaced all of the tires with new Michelin tires, and it is very quite. I complained to the dealer about the original tires and how loud they were, and basically he said that there is nothing that he could do, and that it is a corporate problem. Other than the road noise (that is gone now), the car drives perfect. The only other problem that I am having is sometimes my cruise will not turn on.
itsmesueb Posts: 3The advice posters gave saying to "give it a few miles", actually seemed to work in my case. I still notice a slight pull if the road has severe crowning , tapper off either side, as it tends to want to follow the road in whatever side is angled. Still not nearly as bad as it was though. Now for the good news. I was really disappointed with the gas mileage I had been getting as that was something I spent a significant amount of time on message boards looking at from others experiences. I couldn't believe my mpg was averaging between 25.5 & 26.5 mpg. This was on any road and any condition, be it interstate, country roads, or around town driving. It just wasn't budging! Then my husband suggested I fill up with pure gasoline (no ethanol) on the next tank. I kicked up my heals at first given the cost difference, but decided to try it once. I pulled out of the station and couldn't believe my eyes as the mpg indicator started ticking up by leaps until settling out at 43 mpg!! It has sense leveled out at around around 33 mpg in and around town. Haven't made any long trips so not sure what it will get on the interstate. Also, I stopped filling as soon as the pump kicked off per the manual, rather than filling it to the rim as with my previous fill ups. I would highly recommend pure gasoline for those of you who already get decent mileage. You may just see it adjust up by another 25% as I have!
clohrer Posts: 1the 2012 sonata stereo system sounds awful!!! It sounds as though its coming from a closet. And you are right about the convoluted system set up that you have to go through.... ridiculous. I traded a 2011 sonata that had a Killer sound system for a 2012 that has an awful one. I love the car but I am dissapointed in the change to the stereo. I was told at the dealership that they put a "regulator"on the stereo so the speakers wouldnt blow???
Im trying to find out now if I am able to take off the regulator. You have to turn the volume up to mid 30's and it still isnt loud..... the old system would blow you away at 14. Also, no matter what you do in SETUP, it never sounds good.... This is my 4th sonata so I love the car.... just hate the new stereo they felt a need to change. I never had any pulling issues. -
sonataowner3 Posts: 1I have a Sonata that does the same thing too. It often pulls to the right noticeably - but not terribly. Sometimes it tracks very nice. I too took it to the Hyundai Dealer - twice. They fumbled around with it and too pretended like it was fixed. Other that that we really like the car.
But it is ashamed that dealerships and manufactures are so inclined to play these games with consumers. They know it is a problem - why can't they just honestly say that they will keep working on it and let you know when there is a solution. The dishonesty is what really makes the problem a problem. -
steven39 Posts: 636went to look at a 2012 sonata gls today that i was interested in.asked the salesman before the test drive if they are still haveing problems with the left or right pull issues like the 2011 sonatas.the salesman stated that the pulling issues have been corrected for the 2012 sonata's.we then began the test drive of a red 2012 huyndai sonata gls.within a few blocks i noticed a left pulling at around 35 mph that was enough for me to keep both hands on the steering wheel or the car would veer to the left.the salesman was embaressed after he told me that the pulling issue was solved for the 2012 sonatas.needless to say,the test drive for me was over quickly and i will look at other vehicles.
magrx Posts: 32012 Sonata GLS 6 spd manual.
When sitting at idle and you gently move the steering wheel left or right it clicks to the next position like the detents in the volume knob on a digital radio. The stiffness of the steering along with the lack of smoothness exaggerate my steering adjustments at speed. This tends to make me drift left and right in the lane when driving at highway speeds. Alignment is perfect. Their software isn't. I haven't noticed this in Kias.
I don't have this issue with my other cars. Personally I'd like to see them reduce the steering effort in their programming. This 3,000 lb car feels heavier than my old Buick station wagon when maneuvering. -
rbc2 Posts: 1I have owned a 2011 Sonata for over a year and have had it in for "pulling" at least 4 times. It seems like every time I sneeze it needs to be re-aligned. It is frustrating. It is to the point that before I even have my tires rotated, I tell the dealer that if the car is pulling afterwards (if it wasn't before) I expected them to do an alignment...
mikeyp53 Posts: 55I have 32,000 miles on my 2011 Sonata GLS. The Kumho 25 tires have worn well but there is a minor cupping problem. Moved front tires to rear and now I have a rumble. Thought it might be rear bearings but dealer says its the tires and I need an alignment and they want to sell me 4 new Kumho 25's. Went to Firestone and the alignment is right on except the Camber is off. There is no adjustment for camber in the Sonata. Tomorrow its back to the dealer with the alignment info from tire dealer to see how they plan on correcting the camber error. Should be interesting.
ems1 Posts: 48I had a 2012 Sonata that I got rid of after 6 months because of the pulling/wheel alignment problems. If your problem is a camber adjustment, there are steering knuckle bolts that can be installed that allow a degree or 2 of camber adjustment. These bolts were installed on my Sonata by the dealer as part of a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) that was intended to correct the pulling problem. Your Sonata may be covered under the TSB.
The TSB didn't work very well on my Sonata but it seemed to be effective for some people. -
dave436 Posts: 1I owned 2012 Sonata Limited and 7500 mileage.
You will get feeling so bad and get tired because of wandering while drive. (especially on Highway)
The poor steering won't be centered as much as 1/2 inches.(left and right)
Dealer and Customer center seemed like they have no solution about this so far.
I'd like you to go with Honda accord.
I'm waiting for my payoff day. -
steven39 Posts: 636i test drove a 2012 sonata before purchasing my 2013 elantra about a month ago.test drive lasted about 15 minutes until i took the car on the highway and discovered the pulling issue first hand.the salesman that was with me i think felt kind of embarresed because i asked him before the test drive began if the pulling issues with the sonata was resolved and he said yes they were.i then test drove a 2013 elantra at the same dealership and the were no pulling issues and it ran very well so i purchased it.also,the elantra has much better resale value than the sonata which i wasn't aware of..
mikeyp53 Posts: 55Steven, hope you enjoy your new Elantra. Just one comment, how do you know what the future resale value will be for a brand new car? The new style Elantra has no track record as far as resale. After 3 years, you may get a handle on it. If you look up the 2011 Sonata and the same year Accord, the Sonata has higher resale value than the Accord. Now thats a valid conclusion.
crankeee Posts: 297Mike: We also needed an alignment at 2000 miles due to very minor feathering on the fronts ( sometimes called cupping). Feathering is almost always caused by toe-in being out. The dealer here agreed and did a minor adustment to correct the problem. I beleive there was a TSB on this but not sure. Now have 5000 and the fix seems to have worked. The worn fronts are now on the back and seem to be flattening out with less feathering apparent. The Kuhmo 25's (H rating) were an unknown for us but seem to be wearing fine, hold air pressure and are not noisy.
Also FYI, there is a camber kit that Hyundai can put on the Sonata if the camber is out of specs - no big deal with the knuckle bolts mentioned on another post. So far our dealer has been most responsive to our minor concerns and promptly fixed the alignment. Oil change was inexpensive and MPG is actually improving so all is good. Hyundai appears to be encouraging dealers to cooperate with owners so they can continue to seel more new cars. Bad service = bad press= bad sales so they are giving good service and so quibbling about warranty issues. -
mikeyp53 Posts: 55Thanks for this reply to the camber issue. My camber was off by +9 and the front was not the issue, but the rear. Now all is in spec. I too rotated the tires and the cupping is wearing down, but still has a slight rumble in the rear. At 37,500 miles I am close to replacing the tires anyway as the are now down to 6/32nds of tread remaining. State inspection minimum is 3/32nds, but for safety reasons, I am not waiting that long.

ISO tropical or interesting ice creams to purchase by gallon
We are entertaining and I want to serve some exotic ice creams to complement this tropical heat. Any suggestions of places around WDC or close-in MA or VA where I can purchase some fresh, fruity ice creams by quart, half and gallon sizes?
York Castle (tropical) or Moorenko (exotic)in Silver Spring come to mind, as well as Giffords which this week had a blackberry ice cream featured.
re: nickdanger
To clarify, the York Castle in Silver Spring (Ga. Ave.) is now called Tropical Ice Cream Cafe. There is a York Castle ice cream store on Hungerford in Rockville, across from Montgomery College. The owners were former partners or associates; you can read more about it on Chowhound.
I far prefer the Rockville York Castle. The tropical and regular ice creams are delicious and the owner is very engaging. I believe he used to be the ice cream maker for the old Giffords.
re: OldSchool
Yes, I would go with York Castle in Rockville as well. I know that Cal does indeed sell by the pint, quart, gallon, etc., and he is indeed the original guy from Gifford's. Buying ice cream to take home there isn't exactly cheap, but this is a case in which you're getting what you pay for, and it is definitely worth it IMHO. My personal favorites among his "tropical" selections (in no particular order) are ginger (with nice chunks of candied ginger), mango (again with the chunks), and soursop (creamier than the others I think). The rum raisin may not be tropical, but it's pretty darned good too and packs a punch, if you know what I mean!
BTW, I usually call ahead before I go as Cal is a one-man operation, and doesn't always stick exactly to his posted hours...
re: kelewis
Ok, let me "refine" my prior statement: Cal was making the ice cream at Gifford's in the late 1970s/early 1980s before they were sold and the recipies supposedly got garbled or otherwise changed (you can read more about that on another, older thread on this board). I did not mean to suggest that he was the very first person to make ice cream at Gifford's. I might guess that he's in his 60s BTW (and that's just a guess)...

UPDATE 1-Citadel's Griffin-status quo in OTC 'unacceptable'
- Tweet
- Share this
(Adds comments from interview, CFTC official's comments)
By Ann Saphir
CHICAGO, Sept 3 (Reuters) - Regulators should make sure that dealers with billions of profits at stake do not block over-the-counter derivatives from being moved into clearinghouses, the head of a leading U.S. hedge fund firm said on Friday.
Failure to write rules to implement Wall Street reform in a way that forces most of the $615 trillion market through clearinghouses could expose financial markets to future crises like that of 2008, said Kenneth Griffin, CEO of Citadel Investment Group, Chicago's biggest hedge fund operator.
"Today's status quo is simply unacceptable," Griffin told a symposium on clearing held at the Chicago Federal Reserve Bank.
Clearinghouses guarantee trades through the mutual backing of members and are seen as a way to reduce risk in a market blamed for accelerating the credit crisis made worse by the failure of Lehman Brothers, among others.
If Lehman Brothers' derivatives portfolio had been cleared, as mandated under the new law, the swaps could have been disposed of the next day, Griffin said in an interview on the sidelines of the symposium.
"Even the least liquid assets will trade when the clearinghouses go to liquidate them," he said.
As it was, many of the swaps Lehman defaulted on took weeks to wind down, and the aftershocks of that failure still reverberate today.
Dealers, who currently control the over-the-counter market by structuring contracts, making markets and executing trades, view clearing as a threat to their profits, Griffin said.
Now that they have lost the battle to keep derivatives out of clearinghouses entirely, they are putting up resistance to expanding membership in clearinghouses beyond their ranks, he said.
Dealers make an estimated $60 billion in profits from the OTC market as it currently stands. Those profits are "certainly in the minds of the dealers worth protecting, worth fighting tooth and nail," Griffin said.
IntercontinentalExchange Inc (ICE.N) and London-based LCH.Clearnet only allow dealers to participate in their credit-clearing and interest-rate-swaps clearing offerings.
"There's no effective way for customers to participate in that today," Griffin said. "And that's part of the issue here, is that they've built a closed architecture that the eight or nine largest dealers enjoy the benefits of."
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission plans to propose new rules on over-the-counter clearing before the end of the year.
Ananda Radhakrishnan, director of CFTC's division of clearing, told the symposium earlier on Friday that clearinghouses must make decisions about membership in the open.
He also said he would like to see exemptions for end users -- companies that use the swaps market to hedge risks incurred in the course of business -- to be as narrow as possible.
Speaking on the same panel, Thomas Deas Jr., president of the National Association of Corporate Treasurers, said that forcing end-users would raise costs and result in job losses.
That argument is "simply false," Griffin said.
End-users who use the swaps market are paying the same total cost they would if the swaps were cleared, but the price is embedded in the cost of the transaction, while with clearing the price is transparent, he said. (Editing by Paul Simao)

Jacob (Jake) Trujillo, dad and senior weaver, has been handy at the loom ever since his teen-age days. In the mid-'20s, he peddled his wares to tourists whose Model-Ts bumped along a dried-up arroyo, Chimay'o's makeshift highway of the time. Back then, Jake stayed mainly with a standard weaving pattern - the ``Rio Grande,'' earmarked by its horizontal stripes.

Today, Jake and family are still grounded in tradition, but they're also taking their weavings down some avant-garde avenues. Maybe that's because son, Irvin, a civil engineer, is home to stay. And with him is his wife, Lisa, a non-Hispanic who adds her own flair to this seventh generation of family weavers.
``Even before we were married [in 1982], Irvin told me - in so many words - that he had to move back here to Chimay'o someday,'' says Lisa who grew up in California and graduated from the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, with a marketing degree. ``This is his family home. At that point, I realized if I'm going to get married to him, I had to find a way to live here, too.''
The challenge loomed large because most of the citified genre see Chimay'o as a siesta settlement where the hottest spots around are chili-pepper fields.
But Lisa had her solution - husband Irvin taught her to weave. And this wife from the ``outside'' soon found that the spider's skill slept in her soul. Lisa now spins and weaves with the cream of Hispanic contemporaries.
``Just this year she completed a `Saltillo' serape. A very intricate one. It's an incredible piece,'' says Helen Lucero, curator of New Mexican Hispanic crafts and textiles at Santa Fe's Museum of International Folk Art.
The Saltillo took six months to weave. Muted in color, it plays out the delicacy of a minuet, the gentility of a Cassatt. And into the Saltillo's traditional diamond design, Lisa wove a non-traditional heart.
``Seems as though every time I go see them, they amaze me with something new,'' says Dr. Lucero. ``They're exploring combinations that aren't what traditional Spanish weavers would have been doing back in the l800s or early 1900s.''
Although weaving runs smooth for Lisa and Irvin, there's a hitch in their life's tapestry they're not always embraced by the Hispanic community. Irvin went to school in the more cosmopolitan Los Alamos, birthplace of the A-bomb, where his dad worked as a property manager in the lab complex. Thus, much of Irvin's growing-up time was spent on English-speaking turf. The family returned to their home in Hispanic Chimay'o only on weekends to weave and tend crops.
Later, Irvin went off to the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, undergoing more immersion in the Anglo world. ``I just don't speak the language [Spanish] as fluently as a low rider [the local young Hispanic men who drive low-slung cars]. So I'm not always accepted,'' Irvin explains.
As for Lisa, Lucero of the folk art museum says flatly, ``She's not Hispanic. For us [at the museum], it's a little difficult. We just haven't come up with a definitive solution what to do'' about Hispanic arts from non-Hispanics.

Rangers are considering making a move for Young Boys full-back Scott Sutter, skysports.com understands.
The English-born right-back impressed hugely in last season's UEFA Champions League when his Swiss side came up against Tottenham.
The 23-year-old, who was linked with Wigan in the summer, is now on Rangers' radar as they hope to strike a deal to take him on loan.
Rangers could be set to lose Steven Whittaker to groin surgery for two months, which had led to boss Ally McCoist looking at his options.
Sutter, who is a Swiss international, has now emerged as a possible solution for McCoist.
Sutter has never played senior football in Britain, having been with Millwall, Barnet, Aston Villa and Charlton Athletic at youth level before he moved to Switzerland with Grasshoppers in 2003.

Open discussion to compare comics, Shakespeare, myths
Staff report
LAURINBURG — Are the stories from Shakespeare something boring that only a professor would be interested in, or are they just as cool and exciting as the latest Iron Man movie?
The answer to that question and more will be discussed at the "Comics, Shakespeare and Greek Mythology: Pop Culture through the Ages" Liberal Arts & Science Café at St. Andrews University on Tuesday.
This event, which is free and open to the public, begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Ronald H. Bayes Writers' Forum Lounge of Orange Hall. Presenting will be Drs. Joe Harris, assistant professor of mathematics and Ted Wojtasik, instructor of English and writing.
The presentation will focus on examining the concept of heroism and villainous with an eye to common threads to comic books, Shakespeare and Greek mythology.
"You can simultaneously take (Shakespeare) very seriously and he can be entertaining at the same time," Harris said. "The same could be said for comics."
This is the second in a series of interdisciplinary discussions to be held at St. Andrews University. There will be audience participation and the formal part of the program will last approximately an hour, with the opportunity for discussions afterwards. Appetizers will be available on a first come, first serve basis.
For more information about this event, contact Joe Harris at email@example.com or 910-277-5244.

Tokio Jokio is a 1943 Looney Tunes short directed by Norman McCabe (Cpl. was added after the film finished production, as McCabe was drafted into the Armed Forces before its release). It is a propaganda film made during World War II mocking Japan in the style of a supposed Japanese film journal broadcast. Mel Blanc supplied all the voices.
This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (April 2012) |
The cartoon begins with a voiceover saying that a film captured from the Japanese is now about to be released publicly. The narrator states that it is a typical example of vicious "Japanazi" propaganda. The film begins with a rooster who is about to crow. When he does, however, he changes into a vulture with glasses and buck teeth, while rubbing his hands. Behind him, the rising sun of the Japanese Rising Sun Flag appears. The voiceover says: "Ohh, cock-a-doodle-doo, Prease!", in a further emphasis that this vulture is Japanese.
The first segment is "Civilian Defense". The voiceover proudly presents the Japanese air raid siren system, which turns out to be two Japanese wearing kimonos taking turns in pricking each other in the buttocks with a needle, a possible nod to the obscene Japanese hand gesture, kancho. Then a listening post is shown, which is literally a pole with key holes in it, and an aircraft spotter, which is literally someone painting spots on a plane. The camera then moves to the fire prevention headquarters which have burned down to the ground. The surprised voiceover exclaims: "Ohh, Son a gun. Too rate!"
Then a lesson about incendiary bombs is given. The text states that one should never approach incendiary bombs for the first five seconds. A small Japanese man with an umbrella appears, reads the text, checks his watch (which is decorated with Nazi swastikas) to count the seconds and then roasts a sausage above the dynamite stick. Then he explodes and reappears out of the explosion pit without his face, but his glasses and hat still in the same place. The figure then says "Oh, rosing face, prease! Rosing face!" as a pun on the Asian concept of "losing face" or shaming oneself in public.
The second segment is "Kitchen Hints", which stars General Hideki Tojo as a cook. Tojo explains how a delicious Japanese club sandwich is made: a bread ration card is sliced in two, a piece of a meat ration card is put in between, then it is eaten and afterwards Tojo hits himself over the head with a club. With a large hump on his head he then starts playing with his lips.
The third segment is a style show which shows the new Japanese victory suit: no cuffs, no pleats, no lapel and ... no suit! A small Japanese is shown at this conclusion, shivering in his underpants in the snow, while trying to warm himself to a candle.
Then Red Toga-San brings us the highlights of today's Japanese sports, while talking out of an iris. Suddenly the iris fades out and his false teeth get stuck into the circle. Then they clatter to the ground. The Japanese "king of swat", his head shaped exactly like his trophy, is shown in his baseball outfit. Suddenly he spots a fly, which he tries to kill with a fly swatter, but misses and spins around in a circle. The fly grabs the swatter and clobbers him down. Afterwards it takes his trophy and flies away.
The fifth segment shows personalities who made headlines that week. A skull is seen in the title which changes into the face of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto sitting at his desk. He introduces himself and then leaves his desk, while walking on stilts to look bigger. He tells the audience that he "will dictate peace time in the White House". An editor's note covers the screen informing the audience that: "this is the room reserved for admiral Yamamoto." When the card is removed an electric chair is shown and Chopin's funeral march is quoted.
Then General Masaharu Homma is shown, who, according to the voice-over, demonstrates "Japanese coolness and calmness during air raid attacks." Homma does however exactly the opposite and runs around in panic before ducking into a tree trunk. When he sticks his head out of the trunk, a skunk does the same. Disgusted by the smell of the Japanese he ducks and reappears with a gas mask on his head.
"Flashes from the Axis" is the next segment. A monocled anthropomorphic donkey identified by a sign on his desk reading "Lord Hee Haw - Chief Wind Bag" (a caricature of the American-British radio broadcaster and Nazi collaborator William Joyce, nicknamed "Lord Haw Haw", or possibly of Fred W. Kaltenbach, who was himself nicknamed Lord Hee-Haw) brays loudly before announcing into a microphone that "the Führer had just received a postcard from a friend vacationing abroad". Adolf Hitler is shown reading the message: "Wish you were here" and then turns the card around to see the picture. It depicts Rudolph Hess in a prison camp (Hess had flown to Great Britain in 1942 and landed there by parachute to negotiate with the Allied Forces. He was arrested immediately). Hitler looks up in amazement and wiggles his nose. The next shot shows the "celebrated" ruins of ancient Rome and then cuts to Benito Mussolini sitting on a modern Roman ruin, titled "Ruin nr. 1".
The next segment focuses on the Japanese navy achievements. A large submarine is shown "three weeks ahead of schedule", according to the voiceover. Indeed, they are still working on it while it sails under water. When the submarine sails out of sight a small worker hurries behind it, only to stop when a giant crash is heard and the entire crew is apparently dead. He freezes, takes his hat off and Taps is played. Then he shakes his shoulders and returns the way he came. After this, a group of Japanese submarine sailors are shown using "intricate and technical machinery", which are actually pinball machines, gambling machines and a peep show machine.
Then a Japanese sailor is shown piloting a Kaiten human torpedo on a dangerous mission. The voice-over tells us that the pilot does not care about the danger, but when he asks him if he has anything to say the pilot exclaims: "No, nothing, except...RET (LET) ME OUT OF HERE!", apparently stuck in the torpedo.
The final scenes are again literal interpretations of certain marine boats and air force planes. A plane is shot into the air with a large catapult, another plane is shown with a tricycle landing gear (actually a small man riding a tricycle attached to the plane), an aircraft carrier is presented (which carries remains of crashed planes) and a mine sweeper (a boat with two hands operating a broom to sweep mines away). When this ship accidentally explodes, a buoy is dropped in the sea with the note: "Regrettable incident please". Then the cartoon irises out.
Controversy over stereotypes[edit]
The cartoon was intended as an American propaganda film against Japan while the two countries were at war. The depiction of the Japanese would generally be considered racist by today's standards. All the Japanese are shown wearing big glasses, having buck teeth and grinning and rubbing their hands in a very sinister way. Their stereotypical politeness is mocked by their continuous use of the words: "please", "regrettable" and "honorable". Also, their language is spoofed by adding many "Ooo's" at the start of every sentence and replacing the letter "r" with the letter "l" and vice versa.
Furthermore, the Japanese are represented as being incompetent, weak, cowardly and primitive. Although the jokes are generally aimed at Japan, the cartoon also pokes fun at Lord Haw Haw, Rudolph Hess, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.
As with a lot of World War II cartoons in America, this hasn't aired on any network, syndicated, or cable channel due to its offensive content. However, the Cartoon Network animation history show ToonHeads once showed clips of this cartoon during a special episode about World War II-era cartoons, with a voiceover explaining that the cartoon, like many others at the time, had very cruel depictions of the Japanese.

It was 50 years ago today, on May 4, 1961, when mixed groups of black and white students took two public buses from Washington, D.C., and intended to arrive in New Orleans two weeks later.

Detroit Chief: No "critical, criminal" evidence left at shuttered crime lab
The Detroit Police Chief admits the department left its former crime lab in deplorable condition. But Ralph Godbee also insists that no evidence that could compromise ongoing criminal cases was left behind there.
The Detroit Police Department shuttered its crime lab in 2008, after investigations revealed numerous problems with testing and handling evidence.
Last week, the Detroit Free Press reported that the former lab site was left unsecured and in total disarray.
In addition to lab equipment and other trash, the reporters found open case files, blood samples, and other evidence.
Police Chief Ralph Godbee says the mess reveals a "horrible moving job," but it shouldn't affect any criminal cases.
"Preliminary information indicated to us that there is absolutely no evidence in the building. Is there material left behind that should not have been? Absolutely."
The Michigan State Police have agreed to investigate the matter at the request of Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy.
Godbee also says Detroit Police Internal Affairs has been conducting their own, unrelated investigation involving the lab since April. But he says no one told him about the conditions in the building.

On Sunday the Cubs participated in their first split squad games. The North Siders hosted I-94 rival Milwaukee at HoHoKam Park and their split squad made a trip to play the Angels in Tempe, Arizona. At the end of the day, the Cubs also had split results.
Against the Angels, David DeJesus continued his cold hitless start in warm Arizona, going 0 for 3 in the lead off spot. On the other end of the spectrum, fifth outfielder long shot Brian Bogusevic's bat remained Ghost Rider hot. He went 3 for 3 with a double and a homer to account for half of the Cubs four runs. Non roster invitee was the other offensive highlight in Tempe, going 2 for 4 with a solo shot of his own while manning first base.
Nick Struck got the start and went the max three innings that Cubs starters have been stretched to so far this Spring. He provided a solid scoreless outing to lower his Cactus ERA to 1.80, while only allowing two hits with one strike out. Closer Carlos Marmol was dinged for one run, as was rotation depth man Chris Rusin. The southpaw, however, went three innings as well and otherwise had a good outing.
Hector Rondon continued his solid start to camp with yet another scoreless frame and Jensen Lewis matched Rondon's effort to earn his second save in the Cactus League, securing the Cubs 4-2 win over the Angels.
However, back at home camp the rest of the Cubs squad was on the losing end of a tight ballgame. Potential starting third baseman Luis Valbuena was put in the leadoff slot once again, but was cooled off and left with an 0 for 2 effort. In fact the top four spots in the lineup were held hitless, including Anthony Rizzo in his final appearance before taking a break to go play WBC ball for Italy.
The Cubs in fact were held to just two hits all afternoon in Mesa, yet managed to score three runs. Two came on the first Spring homer for prospect Javier Baez, who cashed in on a walk to Brett Jackson ahead of him. The third run came in the sixth inning without the benefit of a hit. Nate Schierholtz walked with one out and swiped second base two batters later. He would then advance to third thanks to a wild pitch, and Baez eventually was gifted another RBI by drawing a bases loaded walk. One Spring Training game a Hall of Famer makes not, but it was great to see a prospect flash power yet show patience at the plate at an early age.
The Cubs remained at .500 despite the pair of games, sporting a 5-5 record.
Topics: Anthony Rizzo, Brett Jackson, Brian Bogusevic, Carlos Marmol, Chicago Cubs, Chris Rusin, David Dejesus, Hector Rondon, Javier Baez, Jensen Lewis, Luis Valbuena, Nate Schierholtz, Nick Struck

Wright State University will be automatically awarding merit-based scholarships to students who qualify as the school revamps and expands its financial aid programs and puts an additional $3 million into the effort next year.
Under the new program, Wright State students who maintain high grade point averages will be able to renew their $1,500 or $2,500 scholarships for the four years they are in college. The change comes as Wright State launches a campaign to show local residents they can afford higher education.
"Increasingly students are coming with great need," said Jacqueline McMillan, vice president for enrollment management. "Students and their families are struggling. They have the dream for a college education, but they are struggling financially. We know that every bit will help them. We want to make sure that students and their families know that we're in this with them. That college can be affordable."
Wright State has two new scholarships for students coming directly from high school, and those who qualify and apply for admission for fall semester by March 1 will automatically receive the aid.
The Wright Promise Scholarship offers $1,500 to high school students with a GPA of at least 3.0 and an ACT score between 22 and 26. The scholarship can be renewed if the student maintains a 2.5 GPA after earning 24 credit hours at Wright State.
The $2,500 Raider Excellence Scholarship is awarded to high school students who meet two of three requirements: ranking in the top 10 percent of their graduating class, having an ACT score of at least 27 and having at least a 3.5 high school GPA. It can be renewed if the student maintains at least a 3.0 after earning 30 credit hours, according to Wright State.
Valedictorians or salutatorians of their high school classes with at least a 30 on their ACT will receive full in-state tuition that can be renewed if the students maintain at least a 3.0 GPA after earning 30 credit hours.
Valedictorians or salutatorians with less than a 30 on their ACT will receive half in-state tuition that can be renewed if the students maintain at least a 3.0 GPA after earning 30 credit hours, according to Wright State.
The renewable scholarships are an incentive for students to stay on track to graduate, said McMillan and Tom Sudkamp, interim provost.
"Often times students come in with nonrenewable scholarships, which is really great for their first year," McMillan said. "But when they're not renewable, then that student must struggle to find the resources for the following years.
"We are doing our part, we are investing in them. As long as they invest in their education and they do their part, we will stick with them over the course of the four years," she added.
The scholarships are especially important for students from middle-class families who might not be eligible for federal aid and are not at the top of their high school classes.
"They are students of promise and often times they are caught in the middle," McMillan said.
"These are students who can succeed," Sudkamp said.
Sudkamp said Wright State also has a policy to keep tuition as low as possible. Tuition this year is $8,354 for Ohio residents. Room and board is $8,614.50. He noted students can also apply for other scholarships beyond the ones automatically awarded.

STRAWN – Strawn ISD students raised funds for the United Way of Palo Pinto County, inching the countywide non-profit organization closer to its 2012 goal of raising $110,000.
The school of 192 students had a week-long fundraiser, collecting $664.63 through the participation of students in all grades, pre-kindergarten through 12th.
The fundraiser took place during the school's recognition of Red Ribbon Week – a national drug prevention campaign – for which a committee of teachers planned and organized activities for students.
"This is our second year in what I hope will be an annual fund-raising event to coincide with Red Ribbon Week," said Tamara Alison, a third-grade teacher at Strawn who organized the fundraising effort.
The proceeds came through purchasing paper chain links in Strawn colors – red, white and black. The links cost 25 cents for one or five for a dollar, and the classes competed to build the longest paper chain, she explained.
Each morning, students put their donations in a "United Way" cup, placed in each classroom. The cups were turned in and the money counted daily, which enabled class teams to add to their paper chain.
"The red, white, and black paper chains hung from the ceiling in the cafeteria and were added to each night to reflect the day's giving," said Alison. "It was exciting each morning to see how long the chains had grown and which class was in the lead."
At halftime during the Oct. 26 home football game against Rising Star, Strawn students stretched out their respective paper chains along the field to see which one was the longest.
Winning the competition by inches was the sixth grade team, according to Alison. The seventh-eighth grade team took second in what she called "a very tight race" and the fifth grade chain was the third longest.
All totaled, the Strawn School chains equalled 783 feet, or 261 yards, Alison said, "More than enough to score two touchdowns on our six-man football field."
Several students weighed in on the competitive fundraiser.
"That was incredible," noted sophomore Jessica Braun. "I didn't think we'd get as much as we did."
To fourth grader Briaunna Garza, the fundraiser "was kind of challenging and exciting, but we still knew we were helping others, too."
"It's not about winning, it's about helping someone else," said third grader Bella Gallozzi. "So, if we all do the best we can and it helps someone else, then we're all winners."
"It feels good (to give) and I'm thankful I can do it," first grader Hayden Nowak shared.
"That's a lot of money, especially for kids and we just had one week to do it," sixth grader Tanner Hodgkins said of the $664.63 students raised.
At the home game against Rising Star, Alison presented the cash and coins to United Way Executive Director Karen Bullock.
"The United Way has been a vital organization in so many of the communities where I have lived and worked through the years and I wanted to add the experience of giving to others to the focus of our Red Ribbon Week festivities," said Alison. "It is such an important thing for kids to feel empowered and to know that there is always something they can do to make a difference, even the smallest things add up and can mean so much to someone in need."

Book Description:Six Memos for the Millennium is a collection of five lectures Italo Calvino was about to deliver at the time of his death. Here is his legacy to us: the universal values he pinpoints become the watchwords for our appreciation of Calvino himself.What should be cherished in literature? Calvino devotes one lecture, or memo to the reader, to each of five indispensable qualities: lightness, quickness, exactitude, visibility, and multiplicity. A sixth lecture, on consistency, was never committed to paper, and we are left only to ponder the possibilities. With this book, he gives us the most eloquent defense of literature written in the twentieth century—a fitting gift for the next millennium.
