… or, as some prefer to call it, The Madness of Clements & McCarthy III…
Here is is, in all its gilded glory – or rather, here it will be at the end of 2014, just in time for your Christmas gift list. The weight is now so daunting that there's an e-book version – we don't want to give delivery staff all over the world back strain just before the holiday.
And yes, pedants everywhere, we know that so far the origins of anime can't be conclusively dated before 1917. We were two consistent voices arguing for conservative, securely documented dating during that brief period when the discovery of the Matsumoto fragment led some to posit a date before 1907 for the first animation made in Japan. But "a century" is a fair subtitle tag for an industry that's been around for at least 97 years.
A lot has changed in the anime world since the second edition. A lot has stayed the same, too.
This edition will have its serious, thoughtful critics. My co-author and I, and our publisher, like them a lot. They offer us alternative points of view. They challenge us to argue opinions with others who know what we're about and care about it as much as we do. They pick up stray typos and factual errors and point them out so they can be corrected. They're amazing, and it's gratifying to see so many of them dotted all over the globe.
This edition will also have its share of critical poseurs who self-define as too well-informed and up with the latest thing to need it. There were a few of those around for the first two editions as well. A number of websites will probably have a few untrumpeted changes after this "completely unnecessary" volume appears, because that's what happened after our last two editions. (This happens with most reputable anime books. When it comes to being both a target and a goldmine for carpers, no researcher is alone.)
The Anime Encyclopedia has become part of the critical and scholarly landscape of anime. I won't list all its "firsts" because blowing your own trumpet is a waste of breath, but I'm proud of it and I still care enough about it to spend hours trawling Japanese websites stretching my pidgin Japanese round vocabulary no polite old lady will ever be expected to use and imagery I've seen a million times before but that never fails to make me feel a little bit sad and soiled. (Why do so many apparently normal men despise the female half of the human race so much?)
I also see hidden gems, lost fragments of history, unsung beauty I want to share with the world. When you go mining, you accept that most of the time you'll be moving dirt; but every now and then, you find a diamond.
So if, reading the new edition, you discover a hitherto unknown treasure, let us know. And if you know of a treasure we've missed, let us know that too.
But first, of course, you have to buy the book.

Story synopsis
Patrick Macias is editor in chief of Crunchyroll News. He is also the editor of Cosplay USA magazine. Check out his blog at http://patrickmacias.blogs.com/
A deplorable article by Suzy Cohen on Huffington Post is titled "Feel Bad? It Could Be Lyme Unless Proven Otherwise." It consists of irresponsible fear-mongering about a nonexistent disease. A science-based article would be titled "Feel Bad? It Couldn't Be Chronic Lyme Disease Because CLD Is Nonexistent Until Proven Otherwise."
Cohen says:
People often attribute uncomfortable symptoms to aging, stress, or the "aches and pains of daily living," especially if blood tests and body scans are normal. What if you have Lyme and don't know it? If you've ever been for a walk in the woods, laid in the grass, live in or visited a Lyme-endemic area, or have a pet cat or dog, you may have exposed yourself to Lyme disease and associated co-infections. There is even the possibility of contracting Lyme if you were born to a mother who has been exposed. Tick born infections can also be transmitted from blood transfusions.
That pretty much covers everyone. Who hasn't been for a walk in the woods, lain down on the lawn, or had a pet? (And incidentally, are there no editors or proofreaders at HuffPo who realize that the past participle of lie is lain and that infections are tick-borne, not tick born?)
Cohen says:
Lyme is a multi-systemic illness, and may affect every part of the body causing fatigue, stiff neck, headaches, light and sound sensitivity, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), anemia, dizziness, joint and muscle pain, brain fog, tingling, numbness and burning sensations of the extremities, memory and concentration problems, difficulties with sleep (both falling asleep and frequent awakening), chest pain and palpitations and/or psychiatric symptoms like depression and anxiety.
That pretty much covers everyone. Who hasn't experienced one or more of those symptoms? I've personally had 10 of them just in the course of the past week, none significant and none requiring a hypothesis like CLD for explanation. If I wanted to identify myself as "sick" and to believe these symptoms were due to a single underlying cause, it wouldn't be hard to fit them into the CLD framework.
Cohen interviewed Dr. Richard Horowitz, who claims to have treated more than 12,000(!) patients for chronic Lyme disease and has dubbed it "Lyme-MSIDS" for multiple systemic infectious disease syndrome. He claims that most of his patients have a whole host of associated tick-borne illnesses such as Borrelia hermsii (relapsing fever), Babesia, Bartonella, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Q-fever, Ehrlichia or Anaplasma. He says that MSIDS
…involves not only the bacterial and parasitic infections mentioned above, but also associated viral and fungal infections, immune issues, inflammation, hormonal disorders, mitochondrial dysfunction (the mitochondria are the part of the cells responsible for energy production), sleep disorders, environmental toxins with heavy metals, and detoxification problems.
He says this is why:
… the standard treatment protocol (consisting of 30 days antibiotic therapy) doesn't offer the cure for most sufferers. You can't just blow up bugs. Detoxification, hormone balancing, heavy metal removal and ramping up immune function are equally important.
Horowitz is one of the self-styled Lyme literate medical doctors (LLMDs), mavericks who have built a whole industry around diagnosing and treating something not recognized by mainstream medical science. A 2011 article in The Lancet exposed LLMDs for scientific misconduct, fraud, disciplinary actions, use of unvalidated laboratory tests, and other unethical activities. It also showed how activists have diverted attention away from evidence-based medicine and it expressed concern that their activities will endanger the public's health unless responsible parties firmly stand up for an evidence-based approach.
In the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) Journal, PJ Baker, the executive director of the American Lyme Disease Foundation, wrote:
There is no better example of a relentless attack on evidence-based biomedical research and the integrity of outstanding scientists than that associated with the treatment of a poorly defined condition called "chronic Lyme disease." Here, a scientifically naive general population, the lay press, and legislators, who in most instances are unable to evaluate and judge scientific evidence properly, have been misled by patient advocate groups to believe that extended antibiotic therapy is the best and only solution to this condition. This has resulted in the unprecedented intrusion of government and the legal systems into the practice of medicine and scientific research. Because there is no clinical evidence that this condition is due to a persistent infection, advocating extended antibiotic therapy is not justified and has been shown to be harmful and of no benefit.
An article in Environmental Health Perspectives said:
Lyme disease is a relatively well-described infectious disease with multisystem manifestations. Because of confusion over conflicting reports, anxiety related to vulnerability to disease, and sensationalized and inaccurate lay media coverage, a new syndrome, "chronic Lyme disease," has become established. Chronic Lyme disease is the most recent in a continuing series of "medically unexplained symptoms" syndromes. These syndromes, such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and multiple chemical sensitivity, meet the need for a societally and morally acceptable explanation for ill-defined symptoms in the absence of objective physical and laboratory findings. We describe factors involved in the psychopathogenesis of chronic Lyme disease and focus on the confusion and insecurity these patients feel, which gives rise to an inability to adequately formulate and articulate their health concerns and to deal adequately with their medical needs, a state of disorganization termed aporia.
That article is worth reading in its entirely; the link is to the full text. It provides a lot of insight into how the CLD diagnosis evolved, why patients with medically unexplained symptoms welcomed it, how a science-based multidisciplinary approach might more effectively help these sufferers, and why most can be expected to reject that approach in favor of the simplistic understandings and false promises of the "LLMD" approach.
Two randomized trials published in The New England Journal of Medicine concluded that long-term antibiotics were no better than placebo.
Fallon et al. in the Open Neurology Journal have reinterpreted the existing human studies as showing a benefit of antibiotics. You can read their article and judge for yourself.
A 2007 article in The New England Journal of Medicine, "A Critical Appraisal of 'Chronic Lyme Disease", concluded that CLD was a misnomer, that it is only the latest in a series of many labels that have attempted to attribute medically unexplained symptoms to infections, and that antibiotic treatment is not warranted. The CDC agrees that so-called Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome should not be treated with long-term antibiotics.
Chronic Lyme disease has been addressed on SBM several times: here, here, here, here, and here.
Cohen recommends testing for Lyme disease with IgM and IgG Western blot tests, and she specifically recommends IgeneX lab in California, a questionable lab that has been investigated because it reports positive results for Lyme disease that can't be confirmed by other labs.
…you should only have an immunoblot (such as an FDA-approved Western Blot or striped blot) test done if your blood has already been tested and found reactive with an EIA or IFA.
Second, the IgM Western Blot test result is only meaningful during the first 4 weeks of illness. If you have been infected for longer than 4-6 weeks and the IgG Western Blot is still negative, it is highly likely that the IgM result is incorrect (e.g., a false positive). This does not mean that you are not ill, but it does suggest that the cause of illness is something other than the Lyme disease bacterium.
Suzy Cohen bills herself as "America's Pharmacist". She has a syndicated column and has written several books. She is "passionate about natural medicine" and promotes a number of nonsensical treatments, from Bach flower remedies to coffee enemas to acupuncture for tinnitus. An example of her spurious reasoning:
Antibiotics are actually derived from mold/fungus so it's recommended that you avoid antibiotics if you have any fungal infection or various immune system disorders.
You are known by the company you keep. The usual suspects believe in CLD, including Joseph Mercola, Mike Adams, and Dr. Oz. Dr. Oz is a very agreeable man. He agrees with promoters of psychic surgery. He agrees with every new purveyor of snake oil who comes down the pike, with every new miracle solution for effortless weight loss. And predictably, he agrees with Cohen. He assumes Chronic Lyme Disease exists and is "either a chronic condition or an autoimmune response" or both. He quotes a scientist who says there is no scientific evidence for CLD; but he chooses to disregard him and believe Horowitz instead. Oz supports certain supplements to strengthen the body's ability to repair itself: vitamin B12, coenzyme Q10, chromium, folate, omega-3 fatty acids, and herbs such as Rhodiola rosea.
There is even a Hollywood movie and proposed legislation targeting the evil establishment that is allegedly suppressing these new discoveries.
The belief that chronic Lyme disease exists is not supported by the evidence. It is a disservice to patients with unexplained symptoms to paste that label on them and treat them with potentially harmful long-term antibiotics. They are suffering, and they deserve our compassion and the best that science-based medicine has to offer, not bogus treatments by charlatans or well-meaning but misguided LLMDs.
On March 17th, Toonami celebrated the programming block's return by airing Evangelion 1.11. It pulled 959,000 viewers and Toonami responded to a Tumblr question as to whether they were satisfied with Eva with "We were. It was a solid showing that gives us something to build off of as we think about what our NEXT movie might be…" Now, the time has come for the follow-up.
Toonami will be closing out the summer with an August 31st airing of 2.22.
Toonami remarked
Hmm maybe at some point! But since you asked about movies, now is as good a time as any to announce our NEXT MOVIE- on August 31st, we're proud to announce that we'll be airing NEON GENESIS EVANGELION 2.22, YOU CAN [NOT] ADVANCE, along with a special little goodie that you'll have to wait to find out about! How 'bout THEM apples??
Meanwhile, Star Wars The Clone Wars joins Toonami August 17th replacing Eureka 7.
Again, Tonami remarked
On August 17th, Eureka 7 will be going away, never to return. We'll be sorry to see it go. Replacing it will be STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS, which we're very happy about because we always felt it was a Toonami show. FYI: We'll be skipping some of the non-continuity (read: Jar Jar) eps, but they'll generally run in order. AMERICAN CARTOONS BELONG ON TOONAMI! xoxoxoxo"
what's replacing Eureka 7?? Are you guys going to get "Eureka 7: AO" when it gets dubbed???
We're of course looking at Eureka 7: AO."
On the subjects of shows not picked up...
We haven't "rejected" anything. We have two very successful Viz shows on the air at present, and until/unless one of them is removed from the block, we don't have any availability for more. We'll see what the future holds."
Panty And Stocking (1 of 2):
At this time, we felt One Piece and Soul Eater were a better fit for the block."
Panty And Stocking (2 of 2):
It's unlikely we'll be showing Panty & Stocking."

Yesterday, I wrote about an expert witness's report on Prenda Law (previously), the notorious porno copyright trolls (they send you letters accusing you of downloading porn and demand money on pain of being sued and forever having your name linked with embarrassing pornography). The witness said that he believed that Prenda -- and its principle, John Steele -- had been responsible for seeding and sharing the files they accused others of pirating.
After hearing about this, the administrators for The Pirate Bay dug through their logs and published a damning selection of log entries showing that many of the files that Steele and his firm accused others of pirating were uploaded by Steele himself, or someone with access to his home PC.
The Pirate Bay logs not only link Prenda to the sharing of their own files on BitTorrent, but also tie them directly to the Sharkmp4 user and the uploads of the actual torrent files.
The IP-address 184.108.40.206 was previously used by someone with access to John Steele's GoDaddy account and was also used by Sharkmp4 to upload various torrents. Several of the other IP-addresses in the log resolve to the Mullvad VPN and are associated with Prenda-related comments on the previously mentioned anti-copyright troll blogs.
The logs provided by The Pirate Bay can be seen as the missing link in the evidence chain, undoubtedly linking Sharkmp4 to Prenda and John Steele. Needless to say, considering the stack of evidence above it's not outrageous to conclude that the honeypot theory is viable.
While this is certainly not the first time that a copyright troll has been accused of operating a honeypot, the evidence compiled against Prenda and Steel is some of the most damning we've seen thus far.

Kenshiro of Fist of the North Star is doubling up Crunchyroll duties with his starring role in the super-deformed anime spin-off DD Fist of the North Star. The series starts streaming today at 5pm Pacific. More after the jump.
Three years in the making. In scale with standard Lego mini-figs. By master brickster Moko. Full story & build history here (in Japanese).
I remember watching pretty much all of these. I watched Early Reins at an anime club BEFORE it got licensed and wondered who would waste their time with it.
Japan know what anime fan want! VOYEURISM!
As we walked down the hallways of NERV Headquarters inside Evangelion World at the Fuji-Q Highland theme park in Japan, we saw a series of doors with peepholes installed in them. We noticed other folks looking in, so we did the same. The peepholes were clever views into rooms where NERV staff (Misato, Kaji, etc.) were "working" on various things. One door, though, seemed somewhat odd for the fact that the peephole what LOWER than normal. I bent over, curious, and looked into it:
What I saw inside was EXACTLY what you expected in an Evangelion theme park attraction.
Yup. It was there so you could look up Misato's skirt.
Welcome to Japan.
Keeping "in theme" with the exciting entertainment this attraction was providing, we came across a changing room where Rei was getting into her pilot suit. Shannon sat there and waited for her.
Did I mention we were in Japan?
After navigating through Evangelion World, we came to the FINALE of the attraction…
But more on that tomorrow…
This is interesting for a number of reasons.
I didn't know AMD had been around since the 60's, I also didn't know they had been making chips since the 80's (I know first knew about them in the 90's), and I didn't know they'd been struggling since the early 2000's, since that was the AMD Athlon X2 days which was an excellent chip.
Now it seems no one is buying AMD since the "i" series is so superior to everything AMD is putting out, so much so that Intel has slowed down their R&D since they're so far ahead of AMD.
In part one of this two-part series, we look at the evolution of AMD from a second-source supplier for companies using Intel processors towards CEO Hector Ruiz's ideal of a "premium" chipmaker that could sell to the likes of Dell and Intel.
On June 10, 2000, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) wanted to party—and party big. The company's CEO, Jerry Sanders, arranged to rent out the entire San Jose Arena (now called the HP Pavilion) and then paid big bucks to bring in Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, the husband-and-wife country music superstars.
Employees "could bring anybody, your wife, your kids, your friends—it was big doings. There were celebrations, gifts and awards," recalled Fran Barton, who served as AMD's chief financial officer from 1998 to 2001. The boss even got in on the fun. "[Sanders] was on a high wire, he did a unicycle ride. It was totally Hollywood. He could really put on a show when he wanted to put on a show."

Love the animation for this.
Today is the 75th anniversary of Action Comics #1 and the creation of Superman! And if celebrating the birth of the most iconic superhero ever with an animated PSA where he throws a local cigarette-distributor named Nick O. Teen into orbit is wrong, I don't want to be right.
Thanks to my buddy Chris Cummins for the tip.

Before I complain, let me first say that I am a big fan of lists. In fact, I remember loving David Wallechinsky's The Book of Lists, which had (and I thank Wikipedia for refreshing my memory) everything from "the five most famous people who died during sexual intercourse" to "10 breeds of dogs which bite people the most."
I read those lists religiously when I was a kid. And ever since, I've been a fan of lists. And my writers here at Province Sports know that I'll never dissuade them from providing a solid list to our readers. Heck, I don't even have to prompt it anymore. The other day, columnist Ed Willes happily served up, without any prompting, "five things we learned from these thrilling Stanley Cup playoffs." That's right. I didn't even have to ask.
Lists are such a huge part of pop culture that nary a day goes by without us being inundated by them. Why, just today alone — and it's not even lunch — we're already seeing these new lists:
Canada's top 10 summer festivals. (Parksville's Sand Sculpting Competition is the only B.C. contender to make the cut.)
The top 10 cheapest cities to visit. (Hanoi, Vietnam is No. 1. No North American cities made the top 10. Vancouver wouldn't have made the top 10,000.)
The top 10 Premier League games to look forward to in the 2014-15 season. (They are chronological, so start with Manchester City hosting Liverpool on Aug. 23 — the second weekend of the season. But that one's so good it's like a Stanley Cup final Game 7.)
And Canada's top 10 greatest heroes of all-time — a list that will somehow be used for Canada's 150th-birthday celebrations three years from now. (Pierre Trudeau, Terry Fox and Tommy Douglas top the list, which has just one athlete, Wayne Gretzky, in the top 10. (Which reminds me: Have you voted in our fun "overrated and underrated Canadians" competition? Take five minutes; do it!)
But at some point, lists drive me crazy. And those are the lists, the endless lists that trumpet Vancouver. Stanley Park being the top park in the world. YVR being one of the world's 10 best airports. The world's most livable cities. It's all very nice, but what does it mean? Nada. This morning, on the radio, they talked about Vancouver being one of the world's 10 most walkable cities. And they spoke about it as if they knew it to be true. Do we know it to be true? Does some random survey by some random group mean anything? Are we really more walkable than, say, Manhattan, or Paris, where every step provides a feast for the eyes?
All these lists serve to do is to pump us up, and we don't need our egos pumped up any more than they already are. Surely there are other cities in the world where you can ski and sail on the same day. (Though most people won't in their entire lifetime. So it's a rather meaningless honour.)
Man, someone's cranky. Here's the 10 O'Clock:
The Guardian is quite right in suggesting that Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa is the current World Cup darling. He had a routine 1-0 win in Mexico's tournament-opening game against Cameroon, but it was against Brazil — a scoreless tie on Tuesday — where he became a sensation.

OK, this is not good. A temporary staircase wobbles under the weight of hundreds of soccer fans at the Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
What do they call that? An accident waiting to happen?
Hadley Freeman of the Guardian has written a thought-provoking piece about Manaus, the Amazon city where a 42,000-seat stadium — that, honestly, will be used four times during the World Cup and then never again — looms like a white elephant.
Writes Freeman: "The city is certainly not a one-pony town, but there are other things there which cry out for money a little louder than a new stadium. Although it tries to sell itself as an eco-luxury destination for travellers en route to the Amazon, the truth is its glory days as 'the Paris of the Tropics' in the late 19th century are long gone. Well over twice the national average of Manaus's inhabitants live in slums and one in four houses doesn't have access to running water. What they have instead is one big-ass stadium in their city."
So far, Arena da Amazonia has hosted one game — Italy's 2-1 win over England on Saturday. Next up: Cameroon vs. Croatia, today at 2:45 p.m. on CBC.
Soccer is a young man's game. Arjen Robben, the Dutch striker for Bayern Munich, must be considered ancient at 30. Well, he had 11 goals in 28 Bundesliga appearances this past season — a decent total for him — but he appears to have ratcheted things up at the World Cup. He scored twice against Spain in the Netherlands' opener last week, then again early today against Australia in Porto Alegre. He had three goals, total, in two previous World Cups.
Incidentally, Robben was clocked at 37 km/h when he scored this goal, bursting by Sergio Ramos, against Spain:
And in case you aren't sure Robben's happy about today's goal against the Aussies?
Yeah, he's happy. Then there's Cristiano Ronaldo, who can't be overly happy following Portugal's embarrassing 4-0 defeat in their opener against Germany. Today he was training in Sao Paolo.
And, just off the pitch, these ladies sharing their feelings for CR7. Gotta say I am not enamoured with the widespread use of this universal sign of affection. Fine, call me a Scrooge!
Now, speaking of Robben, he shares something with Tim Cahill of Australia. They are two of only four players — Clint Dempsey (USA) and Robin Van Persie (Netherlands) being the others — to score at the 2006, 2010 and 2014 World Cups. And if you think Robben is old, well then there's Cahill, who's 34. He scored in Australia's opener against Chile — and again today in the first half against the Netherlands.
Typical cross-dressing Dutch fans:
Susan Ormiston, a foreign correspondent for CBC News, has done a special report on teen prostitution at the World Cup.
Ormiston says somewhere between 250,000 and a half-million adolescents are selling their bodies, and it's hard not to see that as anything other than a crisis in Brazil. Rubia Ochoa, a consultant with the British charity Happy Child International, told Ormiston: "It's a combination of food, beach, girls and miserable poverty."
Allen St. John of Forbes says the U.S.A. (U.S.A.! U.S.A.!) won't win the World Cup because of money. Say what? Yep, money — as in, the salaries its players make when they're not in the World Cup — and how they might reflect on performance.
The aforementioned Robin Van Persie has proven to be quite popular on social media. Now, so is his 93-year-old grandpa Wim.
And the Washington Redskins' trademark has been cancelled, leading people to suggest alternate names for the Redskins. The Gridlocks and the Insiders are two great suggestions. But who's the genius who suggested the Rough Riders? Incredible!

We confirm Rolf Harris's sentence has been referred to us under the unduly lenient sentence scheme.
It only takes one person to trigger the ULS process. Law Officers have until Friday 1 August to consider whether they wish to refer it.
Harris has been sentenced to five years and nine months in prison for indecently assaulting four girls over a near 20-year period.

Liklik Pik remixes fraternal gestures and animal impulses in a dynamic trans-disciplinary duo. Playfully evoking the pig as a totem animal – the little piggy of fairy tales and its alter ego, the dirty, nasty swine. Choreographer George Stamos and his dance partner Dany Desjardins play with these multiple facets, combining references to pets, gay culture, food fetishes, and male stereotypes. Through clever role-play and an intensely physical somatic score Liklik Pik presents humans in a new light allowing for a free and loose approach to the male body. LikLik Pik favors a collage of situations and absurd humor that is audacious, and deceptively light.
"I'm continually researching how the body is inhabited, projected, presented, contextualized, and perceived. The body has a sophisticated natural ability to gather and transmit information that I find fascinating. In my practice I tune, and utilize this ability in collaboration with other artists and other media to create transdisciplinary performance situations. The empowerment of individuals both symbolically and physically, has been an undercurrent interest in my practice. I aim to stimulate both the imagination and the intellect in the audience."

" It is a clever bit of sabotage in that it not only breaks down the proverbial fourth wall but clears the way for the action which follows, much of it disturbingly bes- tial...Humans become animals through a loss of moral direction, a loss of civilized control....It's a deadly serious game. And it makes for terrific theatre. With Liklik Pik, Stamos effectively holds up a mirror to society to reflect the beast coiled within, waiting to attack."
Deirdre Kelly, Critics at Large, 2012
Liklik Pik premiered at Dancemakers Center For Creation in Toronto in January 2012 at the TWOBYFOUR Festival, was performed at the 2012 Canada Dance Festival in Ottawa, The OFFTA in Montreal, and will tour across Canada in 2013. Liklik Pik received support from Nyata Nyata, Oboro Gallery, The Canada Council for the Arts, Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec and is a co-production with l'Agora de la Danse.

The role of semi-subsistence farms and corporate farms in the modern supply chain: evidence of Ukrainian dairy industry
AbstractThis contribution aims to analyze the main factors determining the initiation of vertical coordination between processing enterprises and milk producers in Ukraine. In this regard special attention is paid to the role of uncertainty, asset specificity and resource availability. Furthermore, the impact of vertical coordination on quality improvement, trust development and strategic advantages achieved is analyzed. The survey results indicate that uncertainty is a major driver for the processing level to initiate vertical coordination schemes. Although vertical coordination appears to have positive impacts on both supplier groups, corporate farms tend to benefit more from vertical coordination schemes than semi-subsistence farms.

Clay started out valet parking in college: Now, with his JWU hospitality degree, he's managing DoubleTree by Hilton's brand at 250 hotels around the world.
3 Hotel Career InsightsFrom Clay Snyder '93Senior director, global brand performanceDoubleTree by Hilton
1. Use your JWU Alumni Network"JWU
alumni connections have opened each opportunity — from my first job as a
valet parking attendant, to my current role with Hilton."
His freshman year, Clay connected with Biltmore Hotel, where he worked until 1995. Since then, he's:
Hear from Clay and other hospitality alumni in this video:
2. Think Globally"Global growth is critical to expanding
the hospitality industry," says Clay. "Many countries have a need for
quality organizations, to fill a necessary void with the expanding
middle class."
3. Go Greek at JWU"Being part of establishing our local
chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) fraternity at JWU, I was able to take
that experience and utilize it in my career — building successful teams
and organizations."
It's why Clay stays connected to JWU, from serving as an alumni council president to joining Hilton Worldwide reps in presenting JWU with a $1 million gift — to help you connect with hotel leaders and JWU alumni in your career field, too.

Basketball kickoff brings frenzy, excitement to Eblen in anticipation of season
Last week's PurplePalooza successfully set the school spirit for the upcoming Tech basketball season.
The inaugural PurplePalooza was held Oct. 25 at the Hooper Eblen Center as a tip off celebration for all things basketball at Tech. The night featured performances from the dance team and cheerleading squad as well as two 10-minute scrimmages, a slam-dunk contest and 3-point contests.
The PurplePalooza was created as an alternative to midnight madness, so the fans could feel more in touch with the teams.
"There is no reason the Eblen Center shouldn't be the most intimidating atmosphere," Mark Wilson, director of athletics, said to the crowd during PurplePalooza. "Students will be seated in sections I and J, right behind the visiting team's bench."
Both basketball teams were picked to finish at the top of the Ohio Valley Conference standings during OVC Media Day. The young men's team was picked to finish in third place during the regular season, while the women were picked to finish in first.
"At the OVC Media Day we were picked to be the overall champions," Jim Davis, women's basketball head coach, said to the crowd. "It is our goal to lead in five categories: rebounding margin, turnover margin, field goals for defense, free throw percentage and intensity."
The women's basketball team was up for the first of the two 10-minute scrimmages. The women's team was split into the white, or home, team and the purple, or away, team. One of the highlights of the scrimmage was watching senior twins Kellie and Kylie Cook go against each other. The scrimmage was full of intense energy as both teams went back and forth until the final buzzer with the white team eventually winning 14-12.
"I look forward to the women's team every year," senior Brent Smith said.
The men took the court next in an exhibition of youth and experience that will be necessary to take on OVC foes Murray State University and Belmont University.
"In all of my years here, this is the youngest team I have had," Steve Payne, men's head coach, said as he addressed the crowd.
The men's team was split into two squads, the gold, or home, team and the purple, or away, team. The purple team, led in points by Jud Dillard, dominated the scrimmage 38-25. The scrimmage was a thrilling exhibition of three pointers and dunks, helping to boost the crowd's energy.
"Anything like this that gets people excited is sure to bring people in," sophomore Samantha White said.
Fans were treated to a 3-point contest. Contestants had one minute to shoot as many 3-pointers as they could. During the contest the men's team competed on one side of the court while the women competed on the other. The women's winner was Kellie Cook, and the men's and overall winner was Lanerryl Johnson.
"I really enjoyed the action in the 3-point contest," sophomore Lydia Holmes said. "It was my favorite part."
The final segment of the night was a slam-dunk contest. Contestants got two chances to successfully make the most creative slam-dunk they could think of. The eventual winner, Javon McKay, dunked over 7-foot-tall Eric Weisenbach.

Conservatives and Lib Dems squabble over Europe and tax as the Coalition runs out of steam
The Coalition is squabbling. Nick Clegg is complaining that the Conservatives are stealing his tax policy, which they are. The Conservatives are complaining that the Lib Dems are stopping them giving Government support to an EU referendum law, which they are.
Neither complaint will actually change anything. George Osborne will go on jacking up the starting threshold for income tax, and claiming at as a Tory policy. The Lib Dems will go on excluding the referendum bill from Government business, and claiming it would be a damaging distraction.
So what's the point of airing these disputes in public? Both parties are making a similar calculation, one I've noted before. Their bet is that voters will give them credit for trying. Not actually delivering anything, just trying to do so. So the Lib Dems hope for gratitude for their intention on tax, even though it takes their deal with the Tories to enact the policy. And the Tories hope for gratitude for their aspirations to a referendum law, even though they are a long way from delivering that law.
How will voters respond? Will they give politicians top marks for effort? Or will they regard all this as more proof that politicians are little more than weasels in human form, forever making excuses and offering warm words about the great stuff they'd really love to have done, if only the dog hadn't eaten their homework?
And what about the other costs? The Coalition is growing less functional by the day: fewer and fewer pieces of business are being agreed between the parties, and the legislative programme is almost empty; MPs rattle around Westminster with time on their hands. A Government that could once claim to have a clear mission now has little sense of purpose beyond its (admittedly considerable) fiscal policy.
But then, perhaps all this explains today's squabbles. Better to make a lot of noisy fuss about the things you can't do than have people pay attention to the dwindling list of the things you are doing?

Why not ban all marriages?
by American Life League
Question by Keef: Why not ban all marriages?
As opposed to digging ourselves into a semantics grave (that may certain day ask "well why can't I legally marry to goat?"), why not throw the entire concept out? Heterosexuals never appear to be after the Jewish/Muslim/Christian "right" because it is actually, plus besides this really is not an matter of religion, because you ha ve clearly produced which an significant value of American society to separate church plus state.
Is wedding, then, regarding ensuring cash is very issued to 2 persons thus which 1 could invest longer creating a family? Doesn't this simply improve the fraudulent act of individuals creating kids because financial source of money, therefore generating a black marketplace sweat store that produces a taxes stimulus rather of the sneaker?
And why don't homosexual males plus lesbians merely have a wedding of ease when which is the case? They signal the paper, receive a duplex with their same sex fans plus all 4 of them have the same rights. Give them the same rights however don't call it wedding, when the biblical wording is what exactly is offering we a headache. I route for phoning it "morriage!"
Look, countless of we have produced several effective arguments, like how stupid I am; to that I do not have rebuttal (we got me!).
I'm not suggesting close down bridal shops or not have ceremonies as a result. Marriage was initially an agreement involving the parents, whom frequently based their decisions about how rich the different family was.
I hear its sacred plus ought to be preserved however it has changed absolutely over time.
Gays don't detest wedding, however, its because you thus usually hear inside the own battles for civil liberties: KEEP IT IN THE BEDROOM!
Oh, plus remember, I'm stupid!
Best answer:
Answer by Revan Hideki
you are stupid seriously
Answer by Danimal52
Because thats stupid
Answer by nikngby
Hahahahahahaha!!!! I totally agree!!!! LOL! Maybe we went a lil far with all the black marketplace sweat store, however I receive what a suggesting.
Answer by IndyT- For Da Ben Dan
No, sorry, Religious custom is of no legitimate value here. Should you desire religious conventional "marriage" plus consequences of not following which, try the Taliban.
Answer by Adam the return SFCU
or you can allow wedding be an act of the church, whatever religion it can be plus civil unions the goal of the government
7 Comments to Why not ban all marriages?
we'd someone to prohibit gay marriage also it passed.
I am talking about, they would like to prohibit gay marriage, but we are meant to have equal privileges, so why wouldn't you prohibit straight marriage also, this way it's fair?
congratulate me, I simply solved the whole gay marriage dilemma forever
Prohibit ALL MARRIAGE
P.S. which will also solve divorce problem
also, people who wish to safeguard traditional marriage, well how easier to safeguard it than banning it? if it's no more being used then there's absolutely no way from it ever altering.
Ksgolfer, you're very mistaken, Marriage has transformed greatly through the years, marriage was utilized as negotiating chips, to produce peace, in lots of cultures love and marriage were completely separate and regarded incompatible. as well as in many cultures it had been considered inappropriate to fall deeply in love with somebody before you decide to were married. Hell, chapel documents reveal that the Catholic chapel permitted same sex marriage before the thirteenth century. also marriage between different races wasn't permitted for any very long time the following in america.
to state marriage has not transformed could not become more wrong
also atheists as well as other non followers do and also have become married previously, to it strictly a spiritual institution is really a farce.
Cedors Mul, you ought to be all with this, you simply stated it is a sacred union, well here's some logic math for yah
marriage=sacred union
sacred union+separation of chapel and condition=prohibit marriage.
I am talking about I have faith that individuals have a in the actual metabolic rate to quietly assemble, and therefore if gays wish to live together they are free to achieve that. Even the government are only able to restrict marriage licenses, that really help couples with such things as tax, property privileges, etc. So even when we deny homosexual couples legal marriage licenses they'll still got married and live together. Just how exactly can the federal government prohibit gay marriage?
we ought to also prohibit divorce and prosecute fornication and adultry.
More and more people, especially children, are hurt by divorce and disloyal fathers and moms compared to what they are by gays getting married to. Divorce changes kids entire existence and something partner walks away free or with another partner as the other boosts children in poverty. Everyone's existence is adversely affected.
Should you honestly think within the sacredness of marriage than an iron clad contract ought to be attracted up and withheld through the law.
This isn't my fight but when this sacredness may be the only reason we're within this fight it is not sensible.
apart from the entire them being gay factor
What makes them still banning gay marriage? I understand that some states within the U.S. take, however it colides using the consitution. No that by banning gay marriage they're banning it due to Christian beleifs that condition that homosexuality is wrong? As well as in our metabolic rate it states (in a roundabout way estimating) our country will not be went with a religion. I simply take some opinions about this questionable subject.
And incidentally does anybody know which states allow gay marriage?
SmokeyD were built with a point…they should not refer to it as marriage since it is exactly what the Christian term for any guy along with a women u . s . by love.
when did alabama uplift the ban on interracial marriage. and if it was recent why did they wait so long

Best Psych teacher ever! :)
I took the intro to counseling course and found it very informative and interesting. He discussed different fields and helped me make my mind up about what exactly I want to do and how I need to get there.
Rich is a great professor. He is passionate about teaching and learning and he is very straight forward, which I appreciate. If you get the chance to take a class from him, I hope that you will truly listen to the knowledge he has to offer you!
Very knowledgeable.
Rich is a wonderful professor very knowledgeable and helpful. His real life experience is evident and he delivers information very effectively. I would recommend taking as many classes with this professor as you can. I feel very lucky to have had him as my professor.
One of the best professors I can imagine having. He's passionate, experienced, and you can tell he cares about what he talks about in all of his classes.
Human relations
Very strict on cell phones and don't be late. I loved this class and he is an excellent teacher and super intelligent. Very helpful.
Human Relations
Great Professor. Extremely helpful and very enthusiastic about the material. Requires students to work hard, but what you learn from the class is worth it.
I took abnormal psychology and loved it. Prof Wedemyer is an awesome teacher and I genuinely interested in the material hes teaching. He always provides the most up to date information on the subject. If youre going into psych or social work, I recommend this class! Two very enthusiastic thumbs up!
Psyc 2313
Took intro to counseling with professor Wedemeyer. I would recommend his class to anyone. Not only has it been easy to pass, but the content is truly insightful. He is very open about sharing about his experience in the counseling field, and also about answering any questions you might have regarding the class and materials.
Professor Wedemeyer is a GREAT teacher! Everything he teaches us helps us with everyday life situations. I would most recommend to take his Human Relations class. He has amazing activities that I am sure you will enjoy. :)
Amazing teacher and amazing class! I took Human Relations with this professor, and it was great. Keep in mind that he expects you to actually show up for the class, but otherwise, very laidback and encouraging environment.
psyc 2103
Great teacher and great content covered.
psyc 2313
Professor Wedemeyer is very clear on his expectations in and out of class. He uses power points and goes over every one that he assigns for the class. His demonstrations of real life counseling situations is pertinent to our career. I have had him in 4 different classes and he is fair and thorough.
Human Relations
Wedemeyer's Human Relations focuses on making us examine ourselves and how we deal with other people. He showed us various techniques that can improve of view of ourselves and our interactions with others. Some key topics were reading body language, emotions, and self improvement. We used a workbook for all our homework assignments. Great class.
Wedemeyer gave us the inside information that he said would determine if we continued with a psychology, social worker, etc. major. He performed demonstrations of the most recognized forms of counseling including Gestalt and Rogerian. As students we also practiced various counseling techniques. The class consisted of a few tests and nothing else.
Great professor! He loves his job and loves seeing students learn. Would recommend taking his classes.
I took 3 of Rich's classes and loved them all! human relationship, human sexuality, and developmental psych. He is absolutely amazing! He knows what he is talking about and loves what he does! I would recommend any of his classes!
The experience of have being taught by Professor Wedemeyer was just that an experience into myself and the worlds view of me. I sat like a dry sponge not realizing what I needed until Professor Wedemeyer poured into my intellect. If your considering taking Human Relations do not miss an opportunity to receive from this awesome Professor.
Wedemeyer is my all time favorite professor. He cares about what he teaches and about his students he WANTS US to move on. This is will be my third semester taking him. You do have to make every class to do well on test. Uses powerpoint and questions come straight from the powerpoints.

I wanted to let you know how pleased I was with the products and service I received from your company. I had a short notice request to travel from New Orleans to the Northwest Territories in Canada to inspect an offshore facility out on the sea ice north of the arctic circle. You can't get clothes suitable for that area in New Orleans at any time, and certainly not in April. I called your order line on a Saturday, and your ordering department spent quite a bit of time with me making recommendations and checking to see if the gear was in stock. He made sure that the order was packed for a Monday overnight shipment and I had my clothing by Tuesday afternoon. I left New Orleans on Wednesday morning. This was a very important project for our company and I want to thank you for your service. I also want to tell you that the great representative you had for your company. I've passed on your name to our organization for other folks that might have to make a trip up North. Here are a couple of pictures of me in Canada out on the offshore ice. It was -22 C (-8 F) with a pretty good wind (wind chill -32 C / -26 F). The clothes I got from you all kept me warm throughout the 7 hours I spent outside doing my inspection. In fact, as you can see, I didn't even need to zip my jacket. It was a sunny day, which helped. Finally, the gloves you see in the pictures are not the ones I ordered from you. Your gloves were fine, and I used them when I wasn't physically working, but the work I was doing required a leather glove for hand protection. I procured a pair of thinsulate leather work gloves in Inuvik that worked great and were a good balance between insulation, protection, and manual dexterity. I don't have them at work with me, but if you are interested I can look at the tag and send the brand information on to you."

Boston, MA (SportsNetwork.com) - Serge Ibaka led five Thunder scorers in double figures with 21 points as Oklahoma City routed the Boston Celtics 101-83 despite sitting MVP candidate Kevin Durant.
Durant, who has scored 30-plus points in nine straight games, injured his right shoulder in Wednesday's win over the Spurs. It was the first game in Thunder franchise history without Durant or Russell Westbrook in the lineup.
"Going into the game I knew they were going to accept the challenge," said Thunder head coach Scott Brooks. "One of the things about our team, we play hard every night. We take pride in playing hard no matter who's on the floor."
Jeremy Lamb provided 19 points off the bench and Reggie Jackson tallied 14 points and eight assists in OKC's sixth straight win.
"We just moved the ball, we kept attacking, got a lot of open shots on ball movement," said Lamb.
Former Thunder forward Jeff Green paced Boston with 16 points while Rajon Rondo returned from a one-game rest and dished out a season-high eight assists.
"Collectively, we were not engaged defensively together," said Boston coach Brad Stevens.
Oklahoma City clamped down defensively in the middle two quarters, outscoring Boston 50-31 over that stretch while holding the hosts to just 12-of-39 shooting.
The Thunder led 50-46 at halftime and built a double-digit cushion in the early stages of the third. After a Brandon Bass layup made it 66-55 at 6:20, the Celtics missed eight shots in a row and found themselves down 22 points on Lamb's jumper with a minute left in the quarter.
Boston never made it competitive after that.
Earlier, the Celtics assisted on 10 of their 11 baskets in the first quarter. Rondo and Phil Pressey had four each, while Gerald Wallace went for eight points on just three shots to help Boston to a 28-27 lead after one.

Folks who live near the old Cooper Tire plant are wishing for drier times… again.
Six inches of rain has fallen in two days in the Radial Avenue, Parr Road, and Plumcrest Avenue, according to Larry Cook of Public Works.
The water level is rising before it recedes. For homeowners like Jesse Nolan, who lives on Parr Road, it's been a nightmare.
Jesse Nolan looks over his home in the 3700 block of ParrRoad. About 2:30 Tuesday morning heawoke to find water from the Pinewood Creek was moving into his yard again.
"I came out and started wading," Nolan said. "Moving stuff out. Got my air compressor out and my grandkids gokarts. Lawn mower, stuff like that. Stuff ain't already flooded."
Nolan said by 10:00AM he had about eight inches of waterin his basement, but none inside his house. He says in his 7 years living there, he has seen flooding like this tentimes. He calls it aggravating.
"Ain't nothing we can do about nature," Nolansaid. "But I was hoping the countycould do some kind of work down there now."
But County officials say they have done all they can do.
Dougherty County Public Works Director Larry Cook said"there is nothing can be done here. We are at the mercy of the rain fall event, and where it hit."
Firefighters in a rescue boat got Benita Harden out of herParr Road home this morning.
Joyce Davis stayed home from work, to keep watch on therising water going by her house in the 3700 block of Radial Avenue. Her home isfor sale, and she did not want to talk with us on camera.
Nolan keeps watch on the water in his yard, telling me howhigh it will get. He has been through these flooding issues so many times, heknows what to expect. But it is stillhard.
"We'll roll on with the flow. Man, that's all you cando, you know. Just go on with it andhope it don't get no higher."
County officials say they will continue to monitor theroads and the area, and try to find ways to help. They were happy to see Holly Drive, wherework is underway to raise the road bed four feet, had no flooding issues.

Stan Jones, a former state legislator who now heads Complete College America, calls the current remediation model "a bridge to nowhere."
"It's very clear that what we're doing right now is not working," Jones said.
Since math is the subject that most often holds students back, it's the subject coming under heaviest scrutiny. Math education researchers are calling for a fundamental redesign of how the subject is taught all through school, not just at the college level.
Among their criticisms: Memorization is prized over critical thinking, and algebra-heavy requirements are irrelevant to students' career plans, while the statistics and quantitative reasoning they need go untaught.
"We're not teaching the value of math," said Jeffrey Watts, an IUPUI researcher who has studied how math is taught in other developed nations. "Our students don't see any immediate application of math to the careers they want to pursue, whether that's in nursing or firefighting."
That disconnect has prompted the state's largest public postsecondary institution, Ivy Tech Community College, to overhaul its curriculum. Of nearly 200,000 students enrolled on Ivy Tech campuses around the state, about 80 percent have had to take remedial classes — most in math.
Beginning this fall, Ivy Tech will offer a series of math options designed to bring students up to speed more quickly and steer them into courses that better connect with their career goals. There will be more emphasis on real-life applications and greater attention to identifying students' specific deficiencies so remedial work can be customized.
Gone will be the typical remedial course, which offers no credit and delays a student's path to a degree. Replacing it will be remediation that's baked into credit-earning classes.
Sheila Yancey, a former high school instructor who now teaches remedial math at the Ivy Tech campus in Lawrence, said the change is really about improving math literacy.
