Mexican Air Force Pilots Videotape UFOs

The videos showing strange objects picked up by military
aircraft were turned over to Jaime Maussan because he is a
person "who has been interested all of his life" in the study of
said phenomena, and was not given to scientists from
institutions of higher learning "perhaps because we do not know
them or know who they might be," according to General Gerardo
Clemente Vega Garcia, Secretary of Defense.

In an interview with the "Hoy por Hoy" radio show hosted by
Carlos Loret de Mola, Vega Gacia
Subject: Why Mexican Scientists Did Not Get UFO Evidenece
Scott Corrales <lornis1.nul>
The Sociedad Astronomica Urania of the state of Morelos said
that the video presented by the Mexican Air Force could have a
scientific explanation if we consider that given the shape and
displacement of the 14 objects filmed, these appear to be a
group of weather balloons, such as the thousands launched daily
from universities, research centers or airports.
The astronomica society claimed that this type of obejct is
frequently confused by commercial or military pilots with UFOs
given the strong air currents that convey them and the lack of
references which would enable to determine their distance and

already 'written off' as balloons by 'experts'!!
Kinda interesting that it was given to Maussan.....
there's a 2 hour show on this Sunday in Mexico-
interviews etc.....
As Maccabee points out in one of his 'responses',
at 2 miles away they should have been seen by
the naked eye if they were solid objects reflecting
light? ----and then only 3 of the objects were 'seen'
by the radar?
This is extremely 'wierd'--and then the very unusual
'flight' of the ufos? They (2) fly away,come back as a
group and follow the plane,then 'circle' the plane......
'Natural phenomena'? 'Looks' like 'magic'?
Or maybe helicopters at Waterloo?

The Stranger is often considered Orson Welles' most "traditional" Hollywood-style directorial effort. Welles plays a college professor named Charles Rankin, who lives in a pastoral Connecticut town with his lovely wife Mary (Loretta Young). One afternoon, an extremely nervous German gentleman named Meineke (Konstantin Shayne) arrives in town. Professor Rankin seems disturbed--but not unduly so--by Meineke's presence. He invites the stranger for a walk in the woods, and as they journey farther and farther away from the center of town, we learn that kindly professor Rankin is actually notorious Nazi war criminal Franz Kindler. Conscience-stricken by his own genocidal wartime activities, Meineke has come to town to beg his ex-superior Kindler to give himself up. The professor responds by brutally murdering his old associate. If Kindler believes himself safe--and he has every reason to do so, since no one in town, especially Mary, has any inkling of his previous life--he will change his mind in a hurry when mild-mannered war crimes commissioner Wilson (Edward G. Robinson) pays a visit, posing as an antiques dealer. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

But this one rates up their as well. Favorite tracks would probably be hunting high and low and phoenix. Everything on this album is great (keyboards, drumming, damn jorg kicks …!!) Vocals Timo Kotipelto in my opinion rates right up their with Hansi Kursch of Blind Guardian as one of the best vocalists in the power metal genre. Timo Tolkki is great as well. Great band. Great album. STRAT RULES!

Unique aspects of the Nursing program
As part of a church-affiliated campus community, students are encouraged to explore their personal values and faith perspective to understand how this can enhance nursing care of clients. A thread of holistic nursing care runs throughout the curriculum, upholding the program's purpose to prepare nursing graduates "who view nursing as a service and are equipped to deliver direct, quality client care through nurturing the body, mind and spirit."
Each nursing course examines aspects of faith, ethics and caring as students consider their nursing role and the needs of clients. In the Biblical Literature course required of all students, Bible and Nursing faculty members combine their academic areas to help students integrate concepts from the Biblical narrative with real-life nursing experiences. Their goal is to empower students to bring hope and love to clients along with technical nursing interventions.
The Hesston College nursing program enrolled its first class of students in the fall of 1966. Two years later in May of 1968, 18 students became the firstAssociate Degree graduates of the Hesston College nursing program. Over time, more than 1300 individuals have graduated from the program and launched careers in nursing. These graduates include traditional-aged, dorming students from all over the United States and world, as well as commuting students from the local region who come to Hesston College for a first-time college experience or to retool for a new career.
Accreditation history
Hesston College was the first Associate Degree program in Kansas to achieve accreditation from the National League for Nursing (NLN) in 1970. Since that time, the program has maintained continuous accreditation by the NLN Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). The program is also approved by the Kansas State Board of Nursing. Both of these agencies set forth standards and expectations to ensure the quality of classroom and clinical education that Hesston College nursing students receive.

Discover how to meet the goals of a successful SOA implementation by reconsidering how to effectively provision decision services. Learn how Business Rule Management Systems (BRMS) are uniquely suited for the formulation and implementation of transparent decision services, allowing for the collaboration of several business-side roles.

Our state continues to be an energy leader.
Speakers from all across the nation gather at the 7th Annual Great Plains and EmPower North Dakota Energy Conference.
This day long conference with an impressive agenda highlights opportunities, cutting edge technology, innovations, and challenges our state's energy industries face.
Attendees hear national experts' perspectives on how to better our energy economy as well as input from our own officials.
"Now we're embarking on the development of a new resource in our oil industry. It brings challenges to be sure, but we've been there before. There are no challenges North Dakotans cannot together overcome," says ND Attorney General, Wayne Stenehjem."
And it's not just our oil industry that North Dakotans are focused on.
Speakers provide insights on achieving a sensible national energy policy that allows the use of traditional fuels as well as other renewable resources.
"Wind to coal to oil and gas, even bio diesel and bio fuels with our agriculture sector. So I think this conference reinforces that. That we're on the right track in trying to develop all of these rather than focusing on just one. Our country needs all of them. All of them create opportunities for people in different industries and all the support industries for that," says Julie Fedorchak, ND Public Service Commissioner.
Amidst the wide array of topics there, officials, above all, want to work together to ensure affordable energy costs for citizens.

Ladies and Gentlemen we witnessed history!
48 year old, Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins previously set the record for oldest fighter to win a title at the age of 46 years old. He broke his previous record by a margin of 2 years. Now 48 years old and still going strong, BHop wants a shot at Andre Ward.
His fight with Cloud was nothing to look over though. BHop displayed a knowledge of the sweet science that only comes with age. Cloud was getting picked apart early, he landed a few clean shots but it was obvious that BHop was more well prepared.
The Veteran, Hopkins, used seamless combos and quick shots to wear down Cloud early and even showed shades of Legendary Muhammad Ali's "Rope A Dope" strategy to outsmart the younger fighter. There were points when Hopkins was even smiling and having fun with Cloud when he realized he was in control. But, BHop wisely avoided leaving any openings despite his antics.
Hopkins still looks fresh at nearly 50 years of age, and still knows how to "school" the new kids. Will he fight Ward? It's unclear at this point, but I for one will not count out the sure Hall of Famer, Bernard Hopkins.

They show up on time, keep you in the loop while they are investigating the problem and provide clear descriptions and estimates. Thank you, Pate"
"I purchased 2 AC systems from Bertie and I did not have any problem. After one year I purchased maintenance service so warranty coverage extended with this contract.I had a small issue last summer, called Bertie they came and fixed next day. Overall I am very happy. Sincerely, Nuri"
"They are the only perfectly ethical and honest that I have found in Gainesville. I had some bad luck but Bertie is wonderful. The man that owns the company is very good to his employees.

"We are extremely happy with Bertie Haeating and Air. They were very knowledgeable, helpful, prompt and courteous. We highly recommend them! Thank you, Donna"
"I recently replaced the very old and malfunctioning air conditioning system in my Medical Office. My "first & only call" was to Bertie Heating and Air. The Bertie professionals assisted me in settling the type of system that would best meet my office needs. They quoted a very reasonable estimate & explained in the detail the procedure for installing the new system. All levels of the Bertie team are true professionals and my total experience with them was excellent! Thank you, Dr Warring, MD"

I was working at Central Headquarters of the Black Panther Party (BPP) when George Jackson was murdered by guards in San Quentin Prison in 1971. George Jackson was one of the leaders of the developing Prison Rights Movement at the time. He helped develop a new consciousness among prisoners based on political education, service to the community and the destruction of the evil capitalist system.

Tomorrow, California lawmakers will hold a hearing about the use of solitary confinement inside its state prison system. February marks seven months since people incarcerated throughout California embarked on the mass hunger strike that has drawn legislative attention to prison conditions. The CDCR released new proposed regulations around its gang policies, and it points to changes already made. Accounts from former hunger strikers suggest that change is slow in coming.

Since we last caught up with Kev Choice, he has been in the lab creating the soundscape for the new Jennifer Johns' "Chronicles of the Aquarian Mind" album, which will see the light of day in mid-October. This is a very unique match of Oakland talent, be it that she is a strong vocalist and at times rapper and Kev is definitely production savvy. Check out Kev Choice in his own words …

When the concept of Black August manifested in 1979, many thought it was simply a focus group protest growing out of the avoidable death of Khatari Gaulden on Aug. 1, 1978, in the San Quentin prison infirmary. Survival for Africans in California's prison population of 20,000 inmates had to that point been recognized by some as a bit more than problematic.

The Malcolm X Memorial Foundation is hosting a two day human rights festival the first weekend in August in conjunction with Black August recognition of the FBI's illegal and secret war against the Black Panther Party and other groups. The free, public event will be Aug. 2 and 3 at the Malcolm X Memorial Foundation Center in Omaha, where the Black Muslim leader was born.

2013 marks the 43rd anniversary of Black August, first organized to honor our fallen freedom fighters, George and Jonathan Jackson, James McClain, William Christmas, Khatari Gaulden and sole survivor of the Aug. 7, 1970, Courthouse Slave Rebellion, Ruchell Cinque Magee. During these four decades, we've witnessed a steady revision of the meaning of Black August and its inherent ideology.

The Adjustment Center (AC) is the death row Security Housing Unit at San Quentin (SQ) which also serves as Administrative Segregation Unit overflow housing. But for all intents and purposes the AC is a secret torture unit at SQ and the fraternal twin of CDCR's other torture units now partially exposed by media attention resulting from the 2011 peaceful hunger strikes at Corcoran, Pelican Bay and Tehachapi.

In their ongoing plea for justice and humane treatment, the inmates confined in the Security Housing Unit program at Pelican Bay State Prison must continue to use the only peaceful means available that will draw proper attention to their plight, a hunger strike. Going through a long term hunger strike involves every aspect of your being, physical, mental and emotional.

I'm delighted to report the rally for Yogi Bear was just wonderful. Headlined "49 Years of Injustice: Release Hugo Pinell," decrying Yogi's 49 years in prison, 43 years in solitary confinement and 23 years in the infamous Pelican Bay SHU (Security Housing Unit), the rally was held Sunday, June 9, 4 p.m., at Freedom Archives, 518 Valencia, San Francisco.

When the prison system transformed into the Prison Industrial Slave Complex (PISC), it became a profit-making industry and, as a profit-making industry, profit becomes the bottom line. In the PISC the poor underclass is the primary commodity that fuels its profitability, while the poor New Afrikan (Black) man and woman are its prime choice.

The Bay View helps one keep in touch with the struggle, today and historically – uplifting and empowering our people. Salutations to those active in the struggle and to those behind the walls pushing the struggle, because it may very well be twice as hard, due to the physical and mental restraints you may endure because of your political, revolutionary endeavors. Stay strong, keep striving, never give up hope.

Going back to nature is going back to what's natural and good for your health and wellbeing and going back to your natural selves. Going back to nature is going back to Black, Mama Nature's original people. We should teach our children about the cycles of the moon and the difference between planting and harvesting seasons, the ancient Afrikan Sciences of the Years.

After 12 years I have finally made it to a halfway house. Through my entire struggle behind the walls, your paper has played a major part in my political and cultural awareness. I could not have done it without you. My mission is to become a success story by giving recidivism a black eye and preventing these younger brothers from contributing to genocide as I once did when I was young and unpoliticized.

"The idea of this agreement going around is a positive start to a new beginning for all inmates. If we could maintain this valuable peace treaty within the prison system, why not work on spreading the word outside the prison walls so that we may put an end to the gang violence and work on becoming a bigger force?" writes a prisoner in the Pelican Bay SHU. And in a large rally outside the LA County Jail, youth called for a "parallel cease fire in the streets" to correspond to the end of hostilities inside the prisons. Prisoners need this news. Please copy and mail this story to a prisoner.

Word has just reached us that Steve Champion, a prisoner on San Quentin's death row well known as an inspirational advocate for justice and as one of the trio with Stanley Tookie Williams and Anthony Ross, began a hunger strike last Thursday, Oct. 4. His demands – still unmet – are listed in "The struggle never stops," published in the July Bay View and reprinted here, and he asks that all who believe in justice flood the San Quentin warden and Corrections Department (CDCR) spokespersons with calls and emails.

This year marks the 33rd anniversary of Black August, the annual commemoration of the liberation struggle of African people inside the United States. The month of celebration and reflection was initiated by political prisoners, many of whom were members of the Black Panther Party and the Republic of New Africa, two of the main revolutionary organizations that emerged during the late 1960s.
August 29, 2012
Black August Memorial (BAM) is not about senseless acts of violence or gang activity. Black August was inspired by the death of our fallen Black dragons and includes other New Afrikan freedom fighters who gave their lives to our struggle for freedom, who made that ultimate and unselfish sacrifice in the service of our revolutionary struggle.
August 26, 2012
The struggle is long and arduous, and sometimes we do etch out significant victories, as in the case of our Brotha Mutope Duguma in In re Crawford, a significant step in reaffirming that prisoners are entitled to a measure of First Amendment protection that cannot be ignored simply because the state dislikes the spiel.

56 MPs agree with the plan to restore presidential term limits. According to the Daily Monitor, Of 70 MPs, only six are against the proposal while seven were undecided. Those in favor of the term limits have argued that the move would entrench democracy in a country that has never witnessed a peaceful transfer of power.
MP Gerald Karuhanga on Tuesday announced plans to table a motion seeking Parliament to allow him present a private member's Bill for the proposed constitutional amendment. He said his Bill was intended to correct an error committed in 2005 when term limits were scrapped by President Museveni's supporters.
The Private Members Bill that seeks to enforce the reinstatement of term limits. Information minister Mary Karooro said government has not seen the draft Bill so it was hard to comment. "We shall wait for the bill and when it comes up the party will look at it. MPs will also consult their constituencies but remember the term limit was removed by two thirds of the Seventh Parliament," she said.
However, MPs against the proposal argue that if Ugandans are tired of an incumbent, they can still express their displeasure through the ballot. MP James Kakooza (NRM, Kabula County) said any attempts to restore term limits would deprive the country of visionary leaders.
MP Sam Lyomoki, who tabled a minority report during the removal of the term limits, questioned MP Gerald Karuhanga's motive in drafting the Bill. Mr Lyomoki said he had proposed that the term limits be reviewed every after 10 years but his views were rejected by the same people who are now pushing for a review.
While majority backed the Bill, focusing on presidential term limits, MP Patrick Nsanja demanded that the Constitution be amended to provide the term limits for MPs too. "We must lead by example," Mr Nsanja said. "This Bill is a step in the right direction and I urge my colleagues to stand up and be counted. Let's give Ugandans a gift for the 50th Independence anniversary."
MPs Emmanuel Dombo, Chris Baryomunsi and Felix Okot-Ogong have reminded those against the restoration of the term limits that Uganda is the only country in East Africa without term limits.
The term limits were abolished in 2005 after a constitutional amendment. The article provided a maximum of five-year terms for a president. "I was the Chairperson of the Parliamentary Advocacy Forum in the 7th Parliament and I spearheaded the campaign against the removal of the term limits," Mr Dombo said. "We are ready to amend the Constitution and given the opportunity to restore the term limits."
Mr Baryomunsi said the removal of the term limits was premised on the belief that Museveni needed to nurture the transition to a multi-party political dispensation.
Leader of Oposition Nandala Mafabi on the other hand, said term limits will foster development in the country.
"When President Museveni came to power 26 years ago, he told Ugandans that the problem of African leaders is over-staying in power. He has since changed his position because of an open-ended Constitution," he said.
The President has since hinted he will step down in 2016 if his party asks him to.
He made the declaration during a recent interview with the American television network, CNN. and has repeatedly passed the question of his retirement to his party, which he controls closely.
However, the President's stand comes amid growing calls within the NRM and clerics who are demanding that he comes clean on his position and not claim hostage to his party's decision.

One of the most prominent NDP stalwarts, former Saskatchewan premier Roy Romanow, says he disagrees with the federal party's proposition that a bare majority Yes vote would be
sufficient to trigger negotiations on Quebec's secession from Canada.
And he says he's not the only New Democrat with qualms.
"I think within the party there are many people of varying views on this particular issue," Romanow told The Canadian Press.
"I think there's room in the party for a lot of debate and discussion about this issue, certainly when it comes to national unity. To me, it's probably one of the most important, if not the most important issue that any political party in a federation as diverse and fragile as ours must consider."
The NDP's unity bill is meant to replace the Clarity Act, passed by former Liberal prime minister Jean Chretien's government in 2000 following the country's near-death experience in the referendum on Quebec independence five years earlier.
The act stipulates that a clear majority of Quebecers would have to vote Yes on a clear referendum question before the federal government would agree to negotiate terms of a divorce.
It does not specify what constitutes a clear majority, allowing parliamentarians to take into account voter turnout, voting irregularities and other factors before concluding whether the result is sufficiently unambiguous to warrant negotiations.
Federal New Democrats supported the Clarity Act in 2000, as did Romanow, then Saskatchewan premier. The NDP has since changed its mind. Romanow has not.
Indeed, at a tribute for Chretien last month, Romanow told some 700 luminaries from multiple political parties that Clarity was "a great act of political vision and courage and determination"
that he's proud to say he supported.
In a subsequent interview, Romanow stressed that he supports NDP Leader Tom Mulcair and understands why he has embraced the notion that 50 per cent plus one vote should be the threshold for any successful referendum vote.
"I can certainly understand the federal NDP's position," Romanow said.

In River's quarters, Simon tucks River into bed and explains that he gave her a shot to help her get to sleep. He says they're going to find a safe place soon. River feels his face for a bit, like she's blind or something, and says she thought Simon would never come for her. Simon responds, "Well, you're a dummy." River smiles, and Simon hugs her goodnight. Awww.
Up on the bridge, Jayne is busy aftshadowing all his concerns about River. He tells him what Dobson told him about River being "special" and how the Alliance won't stop until they get her back. He thinks they need to dump her and Simon as soon as they can. As Jayne goes to leave, Mal wonders out loud how Dobson got free of his bonds. Jayne insists that it wasn't him. Mal asks if Dobson tried to make a deal with Jayne. He did, but Jayne says the money wasn't enough. Mal asks, "What happens when it is?" Jayne says, "Well…that'll be an interesting day." Mal says, "I imagine it will." Yes, it will. Er, "was." Er…never mind.
Jayne leaves, pushing roughly past Simon on his way out. He just wanted to touch him. Simon comes onto the bridge to talk to Mal. He asks Mal if he needs him to look at the shoulder wound. Trying to get his shirt off already? Mal says it was just a graze. Simon asks where Mal's going to dump them. Mal knows places, but suggests that Simon might want to stay on the move. And Serenity is always moving. Simon is confused. Actually, he thinks Mal is confused. Didn't he want to get rid of them? Mal points out that they could use a medic on board. He gives Simon the least amount of praise that he can get away with by telling him he's not a weakling. Wait till he sees him shirtless. Mal says that as long as Simon follows his rules and keeps River in check, he could stay. Simon asks as politely as possible, "How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep?" Mal responds that if he intends to kill Simon, he'll be awake, he'll be facing Mal, and he'll be armed. Now the punching, though. Mal likes to surprise you with that. Simon asks if he's always this "sentimental." Mal jokes that he had a good day. Simon details all the awful things that happened today. Mal responds, "We're still flying." Simon says, "That's not much." Mal concludes, "It's enough." Well, that's certainly an ironic line with which to end a series.

INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Court of Appeals upheld a Madison County trial court judge's consideration of hearsay evidence in revoking the probation of an Anderson man last year. The decision was released last week.
Marcus Jones was sentenced in March 2010 to a prison term of 10 years and ordered to serve seven years with three years suspended.
On March 22, 2013, the state filed a petition in Judge Dennis Carroll's Madison Circuit Court 6 alleging that Jones violated his probation after being released from prison by committing several new offenses.
These included Class A felony attempted murder, Class A felony robbery resulting in serious bodily injury and Class D felony dealing in marijuana. The petition also alleged that Jones had violated the terms of his probation by failing to pay fees and get a job.
That case involved the shooting of 25-year-old Antonio McMullen by 21-year-old Darius Hardiman. Hardiman was found guilty of attempted murder last fall and sentenced to 50 years in prison.
According to court testimony at trial, Hardiman and and Jones met with McMullen near 21st and Nelle streets for a drug deal when Hardiman unexpectedly pulled out a gun and shot McMullen. The two then allegedly robbed McMullen and left him for dead.
At a court hearing, Jones admitted he failed to pay court fees and get a job, but did not admit to committing any new offenses. However, Anderson police Detective Norman Rayford testified that he was investigating Jones' alleged involvement in those offenses.
Rayford's testimony was used to revoke Jones' probation.
In its ruling, the Court of Appeals said hearsay evidence may be used at a probation revocation hearing "if the court determines that the hearsay is substantially trustworthy."
Jones, who later turned himself in to police, confirmed the story. He is scheduled to stand trial on the charges on March 11.

Let's Get This Book Written!
Greetings Heroes!

It is a collection of life lessons inspired by the games we all know and love and is meant to be a love letter of sorts to the industry.
That said, this book will be nothing without the input from gamers just like you!
- What lessons have videogames taught you?
- What awesome stories can you share?
- What's your happiest/funniest/angriest/traumatic-est gaming memory?
Feel free to chime in below. The really awesome ones will be forcefully caressed into the finished book! Much adventure! Such wow!

The holiday season is supposed to be the "most wonderful time of the year" -- but sometimes, all the jolly gets lost because expectations are not met.
Gerri Aston, a clinical social worker with Grayson and Associates, stopped by the midday show to share some tips on emotional preparation for the holiday season.
Managing expectations is a key to keeping the peace during the holiday season.
Aston suggests you make sure your expectations are realistic, and then assess if your emotional stress is coming from your expectations conflicting with those of other family members.
She urged viewers to remember -- you can't do it all, and you can't please everyone.

my garden experiment
has produced results
This brown thumb has now
somehow coaxed from the earth a
bunch of broccoli:
And those are just the
first of the season – more will
be coming later
My first garden is already a smashing success as far as I'm concerned. I love broccoli, and these were transplanted in mid-April to the fledgling garden. I didn't expect to see results so quickly, but we had to take the heads off of each plant today to make room for the new stalks of broccoli growing underneath.
We also planted carrot, cucumber, and sunflower seeds today. I already planted sweet peppers, lettuce, and some herbs a few weeks ago, and I still need to plant zucchini and green beans. I don't know if they'll all be as successful as the broccoli that even I can't kill, but I hope we'll have plenty of our own veggies this summer.

Posts Tagged 'Kodansha'
I think there's some of us who felt that a part of us died when Jmanga announced that they're closing shop. I really liked Jmanga and I enjoyed the convenience of their service. But as with things digital, the idea that what I own disappears with their sites just sucks a lot.
Other manga apps (like Viz's manga app) is available only to US and Canada. I tried purchasing digital editions here in Australia with little luck. Vertical digital editions can be bought in Australia via Amazon's Kindle service so I'm thinking it's okay elsewhere. You can also purchase DMG and Sublime books via Amazon.
That leaves a lot of manga left untranslated. I'm a little fortunate since I can check ebookjapan for Japanese titles. But that leaves a lot of English readers who have little access to manga. So when Crunchyroll announced that they're working with Kodansha in publishing some fan favorites in English via their website, I was excited. Totally excited!
Sukitte Ii na yo (Say "I Love you") by Kanae Hazuki
Serialized in Dessert
Published by Kodansha
We've read this story before. The girl who can't trust anyone and the guy who tries to bring her faith back in humanity. Kanae Hazuki's Sukitte Ii Na Yo's heroine, Mei Tachibana, is a girl who has been betrayed by many leaving her without friends or boyfriends for the past 16 years. And while she tries to get by with things on her own, our hero, Yamato Kurosawa, tries to convince her that there are people she can rely on and the most real of kisses can taste like karaage (fried chicken).
Wow. What a year.
As compared to last year, 2012 was good to me — very good to me.
However, because it was good to me, it also meant it ate my time. Lots of my time. Particularly, my champloo and manga reading time. In terms of my time for this blog, I didn't fulfill my wonderful spotlight series monthly. Nor did I even continue the columns I wish to continue! I wish I can do more and please don't blame my tumblr habit. ; 3; It's easier to reblog than write. My life in tumblr is filled with likes, porn, and tons of reblogs. But yes, in general, I have nothing but my life to blame on why I didn't get things up to speed. At the very least, I was happy that I managed to host my first MMF quite successfully.
Despite this madness, 2012 was still a great year of manga. Here's a list of 12 mangas I read in the last year. They're not necessarily manga released in 2012 but they are all amazing manga that I've discovered and love this year. In no particular order, here are my favorite mangas read from last year.
Beck by Harold Sakuishi
Serialized in Monthly Shounen Magazine
Published by Kodansha and Tokyopop
If there's a manga can transmit sound, then Beck's that title. You don't even need to hear the music itself. The panels alone can cause a riot. For a good long while, a lot of its readers were mute to the music but many of them know the sound Beck/Mongolian Chop Squad plays. That music that shatters your bone. That voice that saves your soul.
Beck is the loudest manga I've read.
So why haven't we read the next manga that'll rock our world?
This was a difficult set to write because it was difficult to whittle down the list to seven. This week/month, I've been reading various food manga and here are the seven titles that I enjoyed… right now. I have a feeling that if I read the other stories, I'd probably go to my wits and them here. But right now, these are the titles that we'll all probably enjoy, regardless if we love manga or food a little more than the other.

Thursday night at Soldier Field, the Bears will play host to the San Diego Chargers. The second and third string players will get extensive playing time once again. The first two preseason games give coaches plenty of tape to evaluate the players on the edge of the roster.
Jay Cutler goes head-to-head with one of his biggest enemies in Chargers QB Philip Rivers. Rivers and Cutler constantly bickered during Cutler's three seasons with the Broncos.
The last time these two quarterbacks squared off was back in Week 10 of the 2011 season, when the Bears beat the Chargers 31-20, but lost Cutler for the rest of the season to a thumb injury.
The first quarter should be interesting with Cutler and Rivers running the show for their teams.
Here are five players to pay attention to in preseason game No. 2 against San Diego:
RT Jordan Mills
This year's fifth-round pick has quietly had a very solid training camp. He played very well against Carolina in his NFL debut. He has taken reps with the first-team this entire week over four-year veteran J'Marcus Webb. With Webb in the doghouse this is a big opportunity for the Lousiana Tech product. If Mills can play well he could be a part of the starting five along the offensive line this season. However, don't rule out the possibility of Webb regaining the starting right tackle even if Mills excels this week.
RB Michael Ford
Injuries help players get noticed and rookie Michael Ford could be in luck. He has a big chance to earn a roster spot with Armando Allen out with a hamstring injury. The speedster from LSU had a solid debut in Carolina where he racked up 15 yards on six carries and one touchdown. He also added 35 yards on three catches. With Armando Allen and Harvey Unga both out with hamstring injuries, Ford will go head-to-head with four-year veteran Curtis Brinkley who signed with the Bears on Monday. Now is the time for Ford to earn the third running back spot.
DT Nate Collins
The four-year veteran led the Bears in tackles a week ago in Carolina with four and added the only sack of the game. He appeared in nine games a year ago earning a role in the defensive tackle rotation. This season he is expected to have a bigger role as the third defensive tackle behind Henry Melton and Stephen Paea. With Henry Melton out with a concussion, Collins with get the start this week. Look for him to have another solid week as he makes himself noticed in the windy city.
DE Corey Wootton
He sat out of the preseason opener in Carolina with a calf injury that he suffered in practice a week ago. He should get a chance to start opposite Julius Peppers on Thursday night. He should also see some time at defensive tackle, where he has received plenty of snaps at during training camp. He sounds like the next Israel Idonije for this Bears' defense. But he has to prove that he can stay healthy like he did in 2012. You have to love what Wootton brings to this team. If he can have another big year, the Bears' defense should be ranked top-10 once again.
S Brandon Hardin
The second-year safety out of Oregon State has the body frame to be a solid player in the NFL at 6'3″, 217 lbs. However he is buried on the depth chart behind starters Major Wright, Chris Conte and backups Anthony Walters and Craig Steltz. Hardin had one tackle and one pass deflection against Carolina. He has to prove he can be a playmaker these next three weeks or he could be elsewhere rather soon. I still love what he brings to the secondary, but he needs to show a little more to stick in Chicago.
Honorable Mentions: DE Kyle Moore, LG Matt Slauson, S Anthony Walters, CB Demontre Hurst, QB Josh McCown.

Question: What is Stage 4 Lung Cancer Life Expectancy?
Perhaps the most common question I am asked is "what is stage 4 lung cancer life expectancy?" Not unexpected, since 40% of people have already progressed to stage 4 lung cancer at the time they are diagnosed. Before answering the question though, it is important to talk a little about how the answer – the statistical answer – is derived.
VariablesStage 4 lung cancer life expectancy can vary considerably among different people. Some of these variables include:
Your particular lung cancer type and location – Stage 4 lung cancer encompasses several lung cancer types, and includes cancers that have spread to only one distant region or those that have spread extensively.
Your age – Younger people tend to live longer than older people with lung cancer.
Your sex – The life expectancy for woman with lung cancer is higher at each stage of lung cancer.
Your general health at the time of diagnosis – Being healthy overall at the time of diagnosis is associated with a longer life expectancy, and a greater ability to withstand treatments that may extend survival.
How you respond to treatment – Side effects of treatments such as chemotherapy, targeted therapies, and radiation therapy vary among different people, and may limit your ability to tolerate treatment.
Other health conditions you may have – Health conditions such as emphysema may lower stage 4 lung cancer life expectancy.
- Complications of lung cancer – Complications such as blood clots can lower stage 4 lung cancer life expectancy.
StatisticsIn addition to variations between different people, it is important to keep in mind that statistics are frequently based on people treated a few years back. For example, the most recent statistics we have for lung cancer from 2014 are based on people diagnosed with lung cancer between 2003 and 2009 and followed until 2010. Since that time a few new treatments have become available for people with advanced lung cancer. newer treatments were unavailable. That said, the median stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer life expectancy (the time at which 50% of patients are alive and 50% have passed away) is only around 8 months. The 5-year survival rate, that is the percent of people who are expected to be alive 5 years after a diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer is sadly only 1%.
One last thing that it is very important to keep in mind. While stage 4 lung cancer is not usually curable, it is treatable. These treatments may not only improve survival, but help with the symptoms of lung cancer as well. Several treatments are currently being evaluated in clinical trials, and offer hope that stage 4 lung cancer life expectancy will improve in the future.

My change of perspective is fundamental but then again, to PDCA myself was revolutionary.
The pack and I are now separated…
And while I was never miserable with my job or super frustrated with my career, I had questions. At different times situations at work would change and I would be left wondering if I was on the right track; with the right company.
I would get promotions, but the questions kept gnawing at me. 'Is it me? Am I doing something incorrectly? What do I want to do?'
Growing up I always thought it was all about getting the job and working hard so the right promotions would come… I didn't manage my career or my development. In short I was basically just wishing. I would take on yet another huge project or challenge and envision it launching me to an undefined place 'I wanted' to get to. No planning, just basically wishing. But I didn't realize that then.
After a very short time working with Career Kaizen and Jim Baran, I clearly saw I was part of something very innovative and long overdue. I often thought, 'why didn't someone come up with this a long time ago?' The fundamental structured approach to my development was like being in my natural environment for the first time after years of guessing.
When I became the object of my own development, I have to admit it was a challenge at first. But I can say that this course has greater value than any Masters, MBA or similar degree program because it has set my career course.
I have presented my Career Kaizen work to a half dozen senior executives, and the result is I am building a network of people who now see me as distinguished from everyone else. They see clearly that I know where I want to go. Best of all, their reply to my ability to demonstrate and articulate my goals is, 'what can I do to help?'
My change of perspective is fundamental but then again, to PDCA myself was revolutionary. My advice to anyone would be to become a Career Kaizen participant. Whether you're happy or unhappy, loving your career or hating it, if you're willing to make the commitment, you can only improve.
I can say honestly that my transformation has allowed me to know my ability to make the right choices and decisions with respect to my development and my career.
Until Career Kaizen, you only think you know.

I haven't seen a lot written yet about the new free agent compensation system, and how different it will be from what we're used to. It looks like there will be a lot fewer players that will bring compensation to the team that loses them. It also poses some interesting scenarios for several teams in the NL East, including the Braves.
The new free agent compensation system kicks in after the 2012 season. How will it impact the Braves and the NL East?
For starters, the old Elias ranking system for free agents is gone. There are no more Type A and Type B free agents. Second, there is no longer any offering of arbitration to potential free agents. What replaces it is the "qualifying offer". Here's the way it works: At the end of a season, a team may make a qualifying offer to any of its players who is eligible for free agency. The qualifying offer is a one-year, guaranteed offer at a salary set by a league formula, which is the the average salary of the top 125 highest paid players from the previous season. (Note that I'm not sure exactly which season this means. For instance, for this upcoming offseason, the qualifying offer amount might be based on 2012 salaries or 2011 -- I've seen it written both ways.) If a team does not make a qualifying offer to a player, they will not receive compensation for that player, period.
The next bit is that the way that compensation draft picks works is changing. If a player to whom a qualifying offer has been made turns down the offer and signs with another team, the team that signed him will forfeit a draft pick. This will be its first-round pick unless that team finished among the bottom 10 (or 15, I've seen both) of all ML teams in the previous season; then the forfeited pick will be its second-round pick. However, that pick does not go to the team that lost the player! Teams receiving compensation picks will receive sandwich picks between the first and second rounds. The order of these picks will depend on a formula involving where the teams receiving compensation finished in the previous season, and team revenue. What about the pick that was forfeited? Apparently, it just disappears; when that pick comes up in the draft, it will be skipped.
MLB hasn't determined yet what the qualifying offer amount will be for the 2012-2013 offseason, but the reports are giving numbers in the neighborhood of $12.5M. Clearly, this means that in most cases, only elite free agents will receive qualifying offers; a team can't risk making a qualifying offer to a player whose value is much less than that. A few odd situations are possible, however; if a team knows that a player won't return for any amount of money, they might make a qualifying offer knowing that it will be turned down, and receive compensation for that player -- even if the player isn't very good.
There are also situations involving options, and there are two of particular interest in the NL East. The Braves hold a $12M option for Brian McCann for 2013, with a $500K buyout. The $12M is not much less then what the amount of the qualifying offer will probably be. If we assume that McCann isn't extended during this season, it might make sense for the Braves to buy out the option year and then make a qualifying offer instead. If McCann accepts, they wind up paing $13M instead of $12M for his 2013 season; if he goes elsewhere, the Braves receive a compensation pick. It's a $1M insurance policy of sorts. Now consider the Mets' situation with David Wright. They have a $16M option for 2013 with a $1M buyout. Assuming that Wright has a decent season this year, it almost certainly makes more sense for the Mets to buy out the option and then make a qualifying offer.
Other 2013 NL East players for whom qualifying offers might be considered:
Tim Hudson (Braves): Club has a $9M option with a $1M buyout. The Braves will probably pick up the option. I get the impression Huddy is not interested in shopping, and he may not want to play that much longer anyway.
- Michael Bourn (Braves): Tough call. He's a Boras client and Boras will probably push him to go elsewhere for more money. If he keeps up his present good work, he will probably receive a qualifying offer from the Braves, and turn it down.
- Jair Jurrjens (Braves): I'm only including him because someone asked about him in another thread. JJ is the kind of B-grade player who won't be bringing compensation anymore under the new system. The qualifying offer is far above his market value, and the Braves won't offer it because he'd be a fool to turn it down.
- Carlos Zambrano (Marlins): Currently being paid $18M, so if he keeps up his current good work, he will almost certainly receive a qualifying offer, which he will likely turn down. (Which doesn't mean that he won't stay with the Marlins.) He does have a vesting option for 2013 but he'll have to finish in the top 4 of the NL Cy Young vote for it to vest.
- Anibal Sanchez (Marlins): Currently being paid $8M, so the qualifying offer would be a big increase. Borderline.
Mike Pelfrey (Mets): After his injury this year, he'll probably be signable for a lot less than the qualifying offer.
- Cole Hamels (Phillies): Almost a lock to get a qualifying offer, assuming that the Phillies don't trade him during the season. He's making $15M this year, so he won't sign for the qualifying offer amount. The Phillies will probably be happy to take the compensation and the relief for their bloated payroll.
- Joe Blanton ({Phillies): I'm guessing not. Blanton would probably sign a qualifying offer, and there will be a lot of comparable pitchers on the market in 2013 who should be signable for about $3M less than the qualifying offer amount.
- Hunter Pence (Phillies): Probably. Someone will offer Pence a lot more than the qualifying offer. That somebody may be the Phillies, but they'll make the qualifying offer anyway to cover themselves; it's a no-lose proposition. However...
Shane Victorino (Phillies): I'm thinking the Phillies can't afford to re-sign both Pence and Victornio. Do they make qualifying offers to both of them? Quite possibly. They could use the draft picks, if they think it'll work out that way.
Edwin Jackson (Nationals): The qualifying offer is not a lot more than he's making this year ($11M). Probably depends on what kind of season he has.
- Adam LaRoche (Nationals): The club has a $10M option with a $1M buyout. The Nationals will probably buy out the option; I'm thinking they'd like to pay LaRoche less if he stays, so they probably would not make a qualifying offer.

ATLANTA — A chance encounter at a Georgia gas station left a 65-year-old woman dead and a 73-year-old man facing a murder charge after authorities say the woman's car and his motorized wheelchair bumped, and he opened fire, police said Wednesday.
Linda Hunnicutt had just pulled into the gas station in Macon, shortly after 1 p.m. Tuesday and stepped out of her Buick Lucerne when the man pulled a gun and fatally shot her, city police spokeswoman Jami Gaudet said. ''The whole encounter, I can tell you, was very brief,'' Gaudet said.

Having Fun At EuroCrossCamp
Posted on 23. Dec, 2010 by lyne in photos
With a planned race canceled the day prior, EuroCrossCamp director Geoff Proctor decided to hold a training race on Wednesday for his riders and a visiting Ryan Trebon. At stake were a day off from chores at the house, a signed Sven Nys poster and more importantly bragging rights.
"They need some sort of effort middle of the week and with no racing during the five weekdays so I've always wanted to have some intersquad scrimmage and that's what this was. Not everybody went super hard, they had different training goals but I just wanted them to get an effort in and a little friendly competition." Proctor explained.
For some, the race was done on a borrowed bike and wearing borrowed kit as their luggage had still not arrived, lost somewhere in the Heathrow blackhole. Not all of the 20 riders EuroCrossCamp participated in the race.
Showdown was appropriately at noon on a foggy day. Laughter was heard as the 30-minute race got started and some course cutting might have happened while Proctor provided the play by play. Who won? Trebon took the Elite, Zach McDonald the U23 and Cypress Gorry the junior competition. As for the overall, well the decision is up to you.
Stay tuned for more on EuroCrossCamp.

I'll readily admit that my football knowledge trails my baseball acumen by a not-insignificant, yet unquantifiable, amount. As such, I often try to find a player's baseball equivalent.
For instance, in my defense of Rex Grossman to a friend, I compared him to Daniel Cabrera or Oliver Perez; a young player who can show flashes of brilliance, but who will ultimately, it seems, wind up as a below average player. I think it's an apt comparison, though maybe I should find an oft-injured pitcher as well, but my argument fell apart when I was unable to quickly come up with a baseball-doppleganger for Orton. I was thinking Russ Ortiz circa '05 free agency or maybe Josh Fogg entering free agency last year. Both are innings-eating pitchers with positive W-L records, which is about the football equivalent of Orton's "game management" skills and W-L record thanks to a good defense.
Anyway, this was just an excuse to have a little Bears discussion. Got any better comps?

'Don't Sweat' High Gas Prices -- They're a 'Good Sign'
You've probably noticed that those prices at the pump have risen considerably over the last month or so. But don't worry! It's not that big a deal! Well, according to Yahoo! Finance's Daniel Gross, that is. Why? Well, Americans are consuming less gas per capita than a few years ago, cars are more fuel efficient, and people are just plain getting weary of more and more traffic (and, hence, are driving less):
There's also evidence that Americans' long-running love affair with the road is beginning to wane a bit. Driving is less fun when you're always stuck in traffic. These statistics from the U.S. Department of Transportation show the number of miles driven by buses, trucks, and cars from 1957 to 2008. From 1990 to 2000, total miles driven rose from 2.17 trillion to 2.75 trillion, up about 26 percent. But between 2000 and 2008, total mileage rose less than seven percent, from 2.75 trillion to 2.94 trillion. Miles driven fell in 2008.
Oh ho! So, total miles driven between 2000-2008 dropped substantially when compared to the previous decade. I seem to recall a guy named George W. Bush being in the White House then, and don't recall any such pronouncements of "Relax!" from people like Gross. (Although Gross actually debunked conspiracy theories that G.W. Bush manipulated energy prices to coincide with elections, I wonder if he wrote the headline of this Slate article of his ... especially since it isn't until the very last line of the column that he definitively exonerates the administration.) Gross's declaration isn't stand-alone. WRAL.com in North Carolina recently headlined "Economist: Rising gas prices 'good sign.'"
NC State economist Mike Walden sees a silver lining in higher gas prices, saying it means the US economy has regained its footing and is getting back up to speed. "Gas prices going up is actually a good sign," Walden said. "$3 is normal. When we were down in the $2 (range), that was abnormal due to the recession. "I don't see anything diabolical, mysterious or underhanded here," he continued. "I think it's just a sign that the worldwide economy is better now than it has been over the last three years."
Contrast that to some of these WRAL.com headlines from the previous administration:
- Oil Companies Blamed for Gas Prices (July 2007).
- Attorney general to probe gas prices; N.C. average tops $4 (September 2008).
- High gas prices take toll on charity workers (August 2008).
- N.C. gas prices sit high above national average (October 2008).
These are just further examples of what Newsbusters' Julia A. Seymour wrote about back on December 30th. If you haven't yet read her excellent article, be sure to check out how the MSM portrayed increases in gas prices during 2004-2008.

People are driving less, consuming less and prices are going up...? No. What that is is a sign of green eco-leftist getting their wish. Greedy Americans are beginning to be put in check by making them a little less wealthy. People are changing their indulgent consumer ways by having less money while at the same time things are costing more. But that is their goal now isn't it ? They want to change our behavior and make us all go green by making gasoline and fossil fuel cars so damn expensive that we will be forced eventually to drive little battery powered clown cars that will save the earth and stuff. And naturally all these new cars will be powered by windmills and solar panels and backyard compost heaps even though the technology does not yet exist. The glomosexuals do not care about that though. That is how they accomplish their goals. They know that no one will ever willingly go along with all their utopian lunacy so they much manufacture an artificial crisis to force people to do what they want. That is why the Democrats like Obamacare. It is purposely designed to collapse the private healthcare industry and eventually dump everybody but the beautiful people into single payer rationed care.

NC now has it's highest gas
Submitted by ricklail on Sat, 01/08/2011 - 11:37am.
NC now has it's highest gas prices ever thanks to an increase in the tax. The tax is based on the wholesale price of gas. Now that it is over $3 the tax has reached its highest ever. It is at 32.5 cents per gallon. That does not include the .18 cent federal. I was 3.10 a gallon where I buy mine today. All this was caused by the Dems that ran this state for so many years. I want to see if the Rep will change it.

The greenies are getting what they want, there hasn't been a new refinery in this country for over 30 years and every time an oil company tries to get one built, even in the most inhospitable of climates like parts of Arizona, the greenies get a judge to shut them down.
Add to that of the moratorium on offshore drilling which is illegal and oil wells in this country not being allowed to re-open plus the number of blends(40 plus!!!) of gas in the existing refineries(not to mention making ethanol gas), and you have the recipe of gas prices going up. Plus we have the Chairman himself saying he WANTS high gas prices.(the repercussion of that is everything else goes up in prices)
The biggest lie everyone is being told which needs to be challenged at all times is that oil = pollution. All this nonsense about "green energy" is just that, nonsense. When people realize that, it's going to go the way of the Beta video tape. The only problem with that is people are going flat broke before they realize it and yet they are all a-quiver thinking they need to save the planet.
Using common sense will save the planet. Hybrids won't save the planet. Solar panels won't save the planet. Windmills won't save the planet. Tiny cars won't save the planet(they actually increase the death toll in accidents on the highway).
I had to cancel a 400 mile(one way) road trip to see some friends that was supposed to happen next weekend. I sure as hell have no intention of flying there (Thanks TSA!) But the cost of gas is going to be more than one night in the hotel where they are meeting.
This is an absolutely ridiculous situation to be in.
High gas prices are good? Screw that!

FYI Re: WRAL and Gas Prices
Submitted by Candance Moore on Sat, 01/08/2011 - 2:05pm.
Back in March of 2008 WRAL reported that high gas prices were nefarious:
Spikes in gas prices are directly related to the economic slowdown, the weakening dollar and speculation in investment markets, Parsons said.
"The latest spike prices are not fueled by either demand for gasoline or tight markets," he said. "Instead, it is driven by unprecedented levels of investment in crude oil and gasoline futures as a hedge against the falling dollar and a safe haven from sliding prices in other investments, such as real estate, equities and bonds."
Later in April, WRAL interviewed the 'good sign' Economics professor. Observe:
The cost of oil is fueling market-wide inflation, said Mike Walden, an economics professor at North Carolina State University...
Plastic uses petroleum, so food packaging costs have increased. Some ingredients like corn, which is increasingly used to make ethanol as an alternative fuel, also have gone up in price.
"We're taking corn, which is important as a feed to livestock, out of the food system and into the fuel system," Walden said...
The price of gasoline itself also pushes up food costs.
"We in this country rely on products and, to some extent, services being driven by vehicle," Walden said.
In less than 3 years we went from "painful" fuel costs and "inflated" food prices - to an economic boom that can "accomodate" $4 gas.
I had a round with WRAL over this and received a damage-control email last Tuesday.

Of course, they're also saying around 6% unemployment will also be the new normal. So, lower those expectations, everyone! Higher costs and lower standards of living are, apparently, what Obama had in mind when he was talking about fundamentally changing America. Well, he never said it would be a change for the better!

There's really no good reason for oil to go down or stay low at the moment. The greenies are mandating that all energy (including their "green" energy) costs more. Government intervention is preventing the US from tapping into its own supply and providing a larger portion of our own fossil fuel needs. However, if you ignore the government tweaking prices up then the simple economics would give you an answer as to why gas is about to make a huge rise in price. All commodities are increasing at the moment due to the fed printing large sums of money and our dollar is massively devalued. I smell stagflation and gas lines on the horizon.
