3d Maneuver Gear
Type: Attack/Defense/Supplementary (Weapon)
Rank: S-rank
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 40
Damage: 80
Description: The 3d Maneuver Gear is a rather weird weapon set. It contains several parts with different purposes, which can be used individually, but mostly effective if used together. Like with other weapons, the most important part is the blade (swords). This blade however is very different from the others. The hilt is connected to the gear with a long wire, while the blade itself is detachable and replaceable with a new one. The blade's length is of a normal katana's, but wider and straight. This blade can be detached with a swinging motion, allowing the user to "throw" it toward his opponent. There are 2 swords in total what are stored in special sheaths. These sheaths are made from metal and can store the 2 swords and 5-5 additional blades in total. On the sheaths, there are small "devices" that launches a hook with a wire attached to them. There is only 1 hook on each sheath and only 1 device, whats purpose is to launch the hook in a desired direction and once it pierces something, the user can pull himself toward it. This device is similar to Sasori's launcher and totally controlled by the user's chakra. It can also be pulled back easily. The last part is a simple roundish blowhole which is on the user's waist behind him. It has only one purpose, to release the user's wind chakra and propel the user forward. This part can be used with the hooks, to increase the speed and/or change directions in mid air. The whole device is connected to a metal belt and is indestructible. This gear can be used to perform elemental/non elemental or kenjutsu techniques. The user can also channel his lightning chakra through the hooks to shock his opponent.
- every "device" the gear has is controlled by the user's chakra and not more complicated than a puppeteer's puppet
- using the hooks doesn't count as a move, but can be used with the blowhole
- using the blowhole counts as 1 move and equals a B-ranked move (20 chakra, 0 damage)
- channeling lightning chakra through the wires and hooks counts as an A-ranked move (30 chakra, 60 damage)
- can only be used by Frozenstein
How the set looks like:
How it can be used in combat:
Dropping this weapon if approved
-Declined- a CW can't contain a "device", it's technology related, and CW cannot contain advanced technology, they are simple hammer, chains, swords etc, the only exception to this is Nagato's Asura path abilities, not to mention, increasing your speed won't be approved, and changing directions in the mid air can happen through the usage of Wind Stream Technique.
(Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Anahita) – Summoning Technique: Anahita
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A
Description: Anahita is a female ocelot in her middle ages with a silky fur and a motherly personality. She is as small as an average cat and has a bad habit of traveling on her summoner's shoulder and command him/her from there. She has a natural ability to use water techniques and can perform them without hand seals. Anahita learned how to form the water techniques inside her mouth and around her tail, allowing her to use jutsus that normally require a human body, however she still can't perform those that needs a weapon or tai/kenjutsu move. Because of her very small size, in order to stay alive, Anahita trained her ears to become extremely sharp, allowing her to hear the smallest noises even from long ranges with excellent accuracy. She can pinpoint the enemies' location only by their sound even when there are other loud noises around.
- can only be summoned 1 time and for 4 turns per battle
- can use water jutsus up to B-rank and if necessary, she can form them around her tail or in her mouth
- can only be summoned if signed the Ocelot contract
-Approved- edited.
(Katon: Honoo Maisou) - Fire Release: Flame Burial
Type: Attack
Rank: Forbidden
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 50
Damage: 90
Description: A last resort technique designed to incinerate the user's body and prevent the opponent from getting valuable DNA or any secrets from his body. To use this technique, the user changes all of his remaining chakra into fire chakra and with his last command, turns it into fire inside his own body and make it explode. Since the user uses all of his chakra what is divided equally in him, this explosion will look like a spontaneous combustion and instead of scattering the user's body, it will eradicate it completely in a mere of few seconds, leaving nothing behind but the burnt ground and smaller/bigger fires in the vicinity. It shows the strength of the technique that everything in a 5 meters radius (short range) is being incinerated in the flames, killing anyone that comes too close. Objects and living organisms in a 15 meters radius (mid range) are being ignited or get severe burns to the point there's no intact place on their body and they suffer extreme pain as well as die if they don't get treatment. Targets at long range will only feel a hot breeze of air. Since the combustion happens really fast as well as the explosion (1.2x faster than a lightning attack), the closer the opponent is, the harder it is to evade the technique.
- can only be used once per battle
- can be used by a clone, but the user won't receive it's chakra back
- if used by a clone, the user can get caught in the explosion too
- can only be taught by Frozenstein
-Declined- A bit OP, and it's very similar to the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique, only with fire instead.

How Suggs' missing memoir left a publisher out of pocket
Delay in 'key Christmas title' blamed for Quercus' disappointing profits
Nick Clark
Nick Clark is the arts correspondent of The Independent. He joined the newspaper in June 2007, initially reporting on the stock markets. He has covered beats including the City, and technology, media and telecoms and made the switch to arts in December 2011. He has also contributed articles to the sports section.
Friday 25 January 2013
It was the small publishing house that brought Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy to Britain, turning the deceased Swedish crime author into a household name and earning millions off the booming sales. Yet Quercus, after making its name from Scandinavian mystery novels, created another mystery today at the announcement of its interim results.
A delay to one unnamed "key Christmas title" meant profits in the year to the end of last December would be "significantly below market expectations", the management revealed.
It would not give any clues to the title of the offending work, saying the information was "commercially sensitive". But The Independent understands that book is a memoir written by Madness frontman Suggs.
It is unclear why its release has been delayed, or whether it is now finished. The singer's autobiography That Close was pencilled in for release at the end of October but has now been pushed back to this Christmas.
Suggs last comment on the matter was on Twitter in March saying: "I am staying on in mehico to finish writing the book what I wrote, its coming on, and should be out, in oct." [sic] His representatives declined to comment today.
Quercus announced it had snapped up the memoir in July 2011. Richard Milner, Quercus' non-fiction publishing director said: "Popular music is littered with short-lived successes, but part of the reason Madness endures is Suggs' literate, heartfelt and cheeky dissection of British life."
He added: "His voice leaps off the page, taking the reader on an extraordinary journey in the company of one of our genuine national treasures."
Previously, Suggs, real name Graham McPherson, wrote Suggs and The City: My Journeys Through Disappearing London in 2009. He also embarked on a solo tour, telling stories about his life, which is expected to make up the backbone of the autobiography.
On the website for the book, he said: "To be honest it's not all there, maybe I'm not all there, and factually it may not be completely correct, but I do hope that these snapshots give you some sense of how Graham McPherson became Suggs."
He had spoken hopefully of the book being a bestseller but even before yesterday there had been rumours in the industry that the title had hit delays.
Many were surprised one book could have such an impact. One publisher at a rival company said: "This is an example of a super-lead title that the company hopes will lift everything up. It's not the be all and end all but it's a large part of the jigsaw and its absence is felt."
London based Quercus began life modestly in a small office on Baker Street in 2004, set up Mark Smith and Wayne Davies after the pair defected from the Orion Publishing Group.
But the massive sales of the Millennium trilogy, whose word of mouth success was started when staff left copies of the books on park benches and the tube, turned it into a significant publisher in the UK. In the first six months of 2010 alone revenues at the independent publishers, now based in plush offices in Bloomsbury Square, trebled to £15m in one year.
An English language film adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Larsson's first book, directed by David Fincher and starring Daniel Craig was released in December 2011.
Smith, the company's chief executive, said 2012 would be a "year of transition" as sales of Larsson's books have peaked with Quercus facing a battle to find other titles to replace the lost revenue. Smith stressed that Quercus continues to trade profitably and had net cash of £1.8m at the year end.

Film studio Miramax sued English author and journalist Pearson for the $700,000 (£443,000) advance it paid in 2003 for the movie rights to her novel I Think I Love You after she failed to deliver the book on time. Due in 2005, the book was published in 2010.
Victoria Gotti
The daughter of New York mob boss John Gotti was taken to court by HarperCollins to retrieve $70,000 (£44,000) it paid her for a memoir. The publishing house asked for the money back after an "unacceptable" book outline.

Who says all quests worth watching happen in space? Filmmaker George Lucas brings the hero's journey into the forest with his madcap musical fairy adventure, due out in January 2015.
"Strange Magic" -- a new animated film from Lucasfilm and George Lucas will be released by Touchstone Pictures on January 23.
In an interview with Charlie Rose, George Lucas opens up about the real meaning behind "Star Wars," and how mythology, religion, and storytelling helped shape his vision of the films.
The "Phantom Menace" trailer wasn't only a treat for fans: it was a coup for Apple and, in 1998, one of the biggest tests the Internet had faced.
What if your favorite "Star Wars" characters went to Hogwarts? Artist James Hance is back with his fantastic mashups, and shows us what "Star Wars" characters would look like in the Potterverse.

Big Data
The buzzword of the day is 'analytics.' But what does it mean?
you can have quite cheap hardware within your home, and we then do the data processing somewhere else. [So] we have to give utilities the comfort to know that they can be confident to work with us.
Puckett, KEMA: The release of individual customer data on how they use energy on a time-differentiated basis may be something that takes a while to get up to that cloud. It may require a release from the consumer.
A company called CEIVA at DistribuTECH was promoting the 'Internet cloud picture frame,' which I thought was pretty clever. Not only did you get your energy information stream, but it also gave you pictures of the grandkids and all that other fun stuff. It was trying to engage the consumer and say, look, we're not going to bore you with energy information but it will be periodically delivered.
Fortnightly: How do analytics techniques translate into differences at the operational level? Do analytics lead to more dashboards, or can existing processes integrate analytics?
Bhambhri, IBM: Dashboards are there and they're going to continue to be there, but the analytic output in these dashboards is changing from a rearview-mirror focus to an actionable analytic focus.
Valocchi, IBM: Static dashboards are a thing of the past. The things we call dashboards don't feel like dashboards anymore. They're portals into different parts of processes.
Jackman, Oracle: Dashboards are a way of presenting data to the end user. But what it's about is embedding the information that the data is giving you and making operational improvements.
Lewis, Infosys: Essentially the dashboards are the top-level view of what's underneath within the enterprise. Once you define what you want to see in a dashboard, then you can start defining which systems underneath have to provide data, and which analytics are required in order to massage that data and present it in a form that's easy to digest by the executives.
Meyers, Telvent: The genius will be if we can get it simple enough and get the important things available and in the front of the queue so that the people who are actually operating the network in real-time or near real-time can understand them.
Fortnightly: Frequently people talk about how utilities are fragmented into different 'silos' that don't work well together. How does that factor into the potential for analytics to improve operations across the enterprise?
Lewis, Infosys: In order to get maximum benefit from analytics, you've got to bridge the silos.
Vishwakarma, Infosys: Traditionally when you go to utilities, they are afraid of sharing data with other departments, other organizations, because they know the data best.
Meyers, Telvent: Command and control networks have essentially stood alone. Whenever anyone wanted to interconnect with the SCADA network, the answer was no. But today we're trying to put that network into contact with enterprise networks and communications infrastructure and make it smarter, get more information in.
Wambaugh, UISOL: AMI and MDM have been one of the first technologies to break across that silo. You're starting to see it's become a real-time world, and everybody

Torrey Pines High School dance program thriving; end-of-year dance is June 11
By Karen Billing
Staff Writer
There's a new movement on the Torrey Pines High School campus and you'll find it in the dance studio. Dressed all in black, the students there are engaged, lively and happy to be in a classroom free of desks where they can express themselves through dance.
On their birthdays they have to use their bodies to spell out their names in front of the class — yes, even a "W" is possible with this crew.
Last week the sea of black T-shirts was accessorized by a stream of tulle as tutus were trimmed for the big upcoming school dance show, the Expression Session. To be held on June 11 at 7 p.m. in the school gym, the year-end showcase will also feature art and film in addition to 24 choreographed dances ranging from hip hop to modern to a fun tribute to "*NSYNC."
Torrey Pines may be known more for athletics than art, but this year the dance team was among the sports teams bringing home championships. The lyrical and jazz group won the Dance Drill Nationals in Anaheim on March 27.
The dance department's building hype and winning ways could be attributed to director Sarah Kaye, who joined the staff two years ago and has watched excitedly as she has tripled the number of students taking dance.
Kaye was a professional dancer for over 20 years, dancing modern and ballet locally with McCaleb Dance in La Jolla and the Mojalet Dance Collective. She retired in 2006, her body tired from years of fulfilling her childhood dream.
After Kaye was hired on as a guest artist at Canyon Crest Academy, she realized she really enjoyed the experience of teaching dance so she went back to school to get her teaching credential, finally landing at Torrey Pines.
"I love it here, I couldn't be happier," Kaye said of her duties teaching "dance PE" and dance teams.
Kaye has worked hard to incorporate modern dance and new forms of movement into the curriculum. At first the students resisted, it took them awhile to open their minds to it and for Kaye to break through.
"It's so different," said junior dancer Perry Katz. "At first I was confused and thought it was weird but it taught me more about my dancing because modern is the core for every style. I really do respect her for teaching us that."
Kaye said she hopes to never stop pushing and challenging her students to try new things.
"The one thing I learned, being a new teacher, was the more you expect, the more you get from the kids," Kaye said. "I've been relentless on discipline and they've produced a lot more work, they've grown and gotten better."
This year 96 students showed up to audition for the dance team. With the interest up and talent high, Kaye was able to field a JV and varsity dance team.
The dance team has 50 members, performing as spirited halftime entertainment at football games and also making appearances this year at basketball and lacrosse games.

What Would You Do Wednesday: Replacing Dan Hamhuis
That's Offside!
November 26 2014 04:23PM
Welcome to a new feature here on Canucks Army and all sites on the Nation Network: What Would You Do Wednesday, where we put you, yes YOU, in charge of your own imaginary Vancouver Canucks. We'll present you with a different scenario each week, and you tell us how you'd solve it in the comments section below. Give props to the answers you do like and trash the ones you don't. Easy! So let's get started:
Top Scoring Prospect Cole Cassels Suspended for 10 Games
That's Offside!
November 26 2014 01:41PM
That Cole Cassels is having a fantastic 19-year old season is old news by now to Canucks fans. Vancouver's 3rd round pick in the 2013 NHL entry draft is currently 6th in the OHL in scoring with 12 goals and 27 assists in 22 games, but he'll be missing some significant time thanks to a suspension handed out this morning by the Ontario Hockey League.
Read past the jump for a look at Cassels' suspension, and how this affects his chances at making a World Junior Championships team.
Canucks Army Weekly Player Grades: Defensemen, November 25th, 2014
That's Offside!
November 25 2014 07:00PM
As promised this morning, here are our Canucks Army weekly player grades for defensemen.
Read past the jump to see how each guy fared this past week!
Canucks Army GDT #22 - Canucks vs. Devils
That's Offside!
November 25 2014 04:51PM
Pictured: not Bo Horvat.
The New Jersey Devils are in town tonight, surely to join the rest of Vancouver in the celebration of the commencement of the glorious Bo Horvat era. It's a neat bit of synchronicity that the team Cory Schneider now carries is the one in town on the day Bo Horvat officially becomes a full-time NHL player, as he'll play his former team for the second time in Vancouver, and the first head-to-head with Horvat.
For a preview of tonight's game and a look at Vancouver's decision to keep Horvat with the big club, read past the jump.
Canucks Give Away 3rd Round Pick, Receive a Tall Human In Return
That's Offside!
November 25 2014 03:13PM
Days after acquiring Will Acton from the Edmonton Oilers, GM Jim Benning went out and made that deal look like a veritable blockbuster by dealing Alex Mallet and a 3rd round pick in 2016 to the New York Islanders in exchange for 21-year old 6'4 defenseman Andrey Pedan.
I don't know a damn thing about Andrey Pedan, so join me after the jump where we'll find out all about the AHL version of Luca Sbisa that the Canucks seem to have acquired.

This was T.I.'s first full show since his release from prison in March. The rapper performed with a five-piece band and reportedly played for over two hours.
Near the end of the show, T.I. brought out Mary J. to perform two songs with him, including "Good Love". Then Swizz Beatz came out to perform "Fancy," "Bring 'Em Out" and "Swing Ya Rag".
T.I. made sure to give a shout-out to his friends who couldn't be there as well, saying "I appreciate all the love y'all showed me, but there's still people behind that wall, with the same struggles every day. Give it up one time for my n***a Lil Wayne."

Berry jelly
Lemons have juicy, tart flesh and bitter rind that both work well in savoury and sweet dishes.
Lemons are rich in vitamin C and contain pectin - a type of soluble fibre that helps keep blood cholesterol levels normal.
Buy plump, bright-yellow lemons that are heavy for their size. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place for up to one week, or in the fridge for up to three weeks.
Roll lemons on a benchtop with your palm to release more juice before squeezing. Wash the rind before grating.
Cut lemons into quarters and cook on a chargrill until golden and caramelised. Squeeze over barbecued fish or meat. Stuff a chicken with lemon quarters and sage. Place butter and lemon slices under the skin of the breast. Roast.

EASY CLIMBING: some crowdsourced social media guidance we helped shapePosted: November 18, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized 1 Comment
When I left local government six months ago I said that this was to do more in local government and the public sector.
Every week being full-time on comms2point0 has been quite literally an
adventure. One of the adventures was to write social media guidance
for part of the public sector that is struggling with it. Health and Wellbeing Boards are where the NHS, charities and councils come together to make billions of pounds of spending decisions.
The Local Government Association (LGA) listened to members who said they were struggling in this area and commissioned us to draw-up some guidance. It is with huge pleasure that I saw that the LGA published Connecting Health and Wellbeing Boards: a social media guide.
But wait.
If you think that guidance for this arcane corner of the public sector
has nothing for you, I'd ask you to swing by and take a look. I think
you'll find some principles that can help you out whereever you are.
Climbing a challenge one step at a time
So, how do you persuade organisations and people that don't use social
media to start using it?
There was a long list of things that health and wellbeing boards should be doing. Live tweeting meetings, posting slides used at meetings to slide sharing website slideshare and using social media to listen are all there.
But nobody wants to look at Mount Everest on their first day in walking boots.
So, we made it easy. We made slow steps possible. We created five steps – or five stars – that made progress not only possible but measurable.
We made the first star deliberately easy. All you had to do was post the date and time of your meeting on a social profile. Simple. Congratulations. You've got a first star. As any walker will tell you
once you conquer your first hillock your eyes turn more readily to something a little bigger.
That, we think, is the powerful and encouraging thing that can make these guidelines work.
We crowdsourced
What I'm most proud of is that we didn't just write this in a vacuum.
We asked the online community and the offline community too. My role
as author was less a writer and more a facilitator. What should these
guidelines look like? Gemma Finnegan at the weekly #nhssm chat which discusses social media in the NHS steered two discussions that had a profound effect. I don't have my name on this document. I have
comms2point0′s logo. But we have thanked everyone who conrtibuted to
those discussions and the survey which shaped it. I also spent a lot
of time chatting to people. If you want to look at an authority doing
a trailblazing job look at Louisa Willoughby at Sheffield City Council
and Cllr Simon Allen at Bath and North East Somerset. And some of the work that @claireOT has done in sketching out what things could look like.
Thanks also to Kristian Hibberd who has now left the LGA for pastures new and to Laurence Meehan and Caroline Tapster who remains.
We used data
We surveyed people and we used those results to shape the discussion.
* 53 per cent thought their council uses social media badly for health
and wellbeing boards.
* 81 per cent are in favour of live streaming.
* 83 per cent said that space should be given to the public to ask questions at meetings.
We had five basic principles
From my time in local government, I've been in favour of a framework of
basic principles rather than a dogmatic policeman of highly prescriptive. Nobody wants the guidance that says you must use MySpace. So we came up with this:
- Be engaging: interact wherever possible with users and reflect the
• Be timely: post information at a time that is most convenient or
relevant to the audience.
• Be jargon-free: use language that works on the platform of choice
without jargon and language that people outside the health and
wellbeing board would struggle to understand.
• Be connected: look to share content from partners and from across
the public or third sector where is relevant.
• Be informative: look to inform and to educate.
If you work in the public sector and want to chat further drop me a
note by email to firstname.lastname@example.com or on Twitter @danslee.
The #nhssm discussion of the LGA health and wellbeing board guidelines
takes place between 8pm and 9pm on Wednesday November 19.
140 STORY: 15 Tips For Joining In A Twitter EventPosted: November 12, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized 2 Comments
So, you are wondering whether or not to join in #housingday, #ourday or a similar real time Twitter event.
But I'll bet you think that you've nothing to say and not many people will find what you are doing interesting, right?
Good news. You couldn't be further from the truth and by taking part you'll be lending your voice to create a far louder noise around an area that no doubt doesn't always shout about itself.
Back in 2010, me and some colleagues staged #walsall24 which was the first real-time Twitter event in local government. We won the first LGComms gold social media award and for a day the borough was the centre of the digital universe. People from across the council used Twitter to post the day-to-day things we were doing.
We'd taken the idea from Greater Manchester Police and tweaked it. It's great to see others now take the idea and tweak it further so it's the voice of a sector and not just one authority.
The #housingday initiative has grown from strength to strength as a way of telling the social housing story. Like any success, it has many fathers. But Ade Capon from Yorkshire Housing is the man responsible for first taking the plunge.
Here's 10 ideas to help you make the most of the day
- The more mundane it is to you, the more interesting it is to them. Trust me. Everyone thinks they do a fairly dull job. To others its madly interesting.
- Tweet the little things. Tell people about the drain cover you just fixed, the window you are replacing, the meeting you've been to. It all builds a picture.
- Take a picture. A picture tells 1,000 words and when you've only got 140 characters that's pretty useful. People like pictures. They get shared more too. You don't have to be David Bailey.
- Take a video. With Instagram you have about 14 seconds of video that can be shared to Twitter.
- Take some audio. Soundcloud is a cracking app that lets you record people talking. Ask someone to say who they are, what they do and what they are doing today. Then share it to Twitter.
- Share some content. Press the retweet button and share what other people are doing.
- Ask a question. Ask what people think. Ask the for their own experiences.
- Follow a member of staff. Pick someone who does a frontline job. Then follow them around. You can tweet about what they are doing and where they are in realtime.
- Stage a Q&A. Persuade a senior person to be available to answer questions on a topic. Promote it. Share the answers.
- Embed your Twitter stream on the organisations' website so non-Twitter people can see what is being said.
- Build it and they will come is silly. Go offline. Tell people about it. Email them. Put it in team briefings. Shout. Shout. Let it all out.
- Capture the tweets you'll send and the comments you'll receive on the web. By all means use Storify to capture what is being said. That's an easy drag and drop web application you can use to preserve things.
- Capture the tweets you'll send and the comments you'll receive as screenshots. Take a screenshot. Email it to people. The officers in the repairs team. People like that.
- Feature the residents. How long has Mrs Smith lived in that house? What does she think of her windows? What could she suggest to improve the area she lives in?
- Ask people to do something. Don't just let the day be just noise. Here's the thing you'd like people to sign-up for. Here's the consultation you'd like them to get involved with. Channel all this to help you make a difference.

If you don't fancy picking a category come and watch the film. It's Armandoi Iannucci satire 'In the Loop.'

OUR MAN: 'We Need to Communicate Like Insurgents.'Posted: November 3, 2014 Filed under: communications | Tags: #menacomms14, foreign office, government, insurgents, lebanon, MENA, tom fletcher, uk 2 Comments
"What we need to do," said the man in the blue jacket and the crisp white shirt, "is to communicate more like insurgents."
An arresting comment to make, particularly as the man in the jacket was HM Government's Ambassador to Lebanon Tom Fletcher.
The comment was made – and a whole host of others – at the tail end of a fascinating two day event in Jordan hosted by the Foreign Office for their Middle East and North Africa comms staff.
A week later and it's a comment that keeps rattling around.
We need to communicate more like insurgents. What does that mean?
It could mean a whole host of things. To nail the obvious, it's not about communicating beheadings. To me, it's more about having an overall framework to work in and allowing people on the ground to be flexible, creative and agile. What I took was that it was about being not hemmed in by procedure. It's about creating sharable content that is going to be shared. It's seeing what works in the field and replicating it.
Here's a second arresting comment from the event that keeps re-occuring.
"Al-Qaida's leaders view communications as 90 percent of the struggle."
Think for a minute of that group and what do you see?
Ossama bin Laden in a fuzzy vhs video?
The Twin Towers?
Both are powerful images which frame the first 14 years of the 21st century.
They are communications.
They were framed by communications people.
The Ambassador is of course right. Sometimes we can be too hemmed in by process to think agile, creative, sharable and flexible.
To have such a green light from the top is a gift to cherish.
Sometimes the play book comes not from the institution or the old ways of doing things. It comes from unexpected quarters and what your enemy does.
It also poses the question that if communications is 90 per cent of the issue then are you doing enough? More importantly, have you got the support to do enough?
Spanish poet Baltasar Gracian said that a wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends.
So, how can you learn from your enemies?

An 8.45-pound smallmouth bass caught in last springs Sturgeon Bay Open Bass Tournament certainly expanded the countys fame as a fishing hot spot.
That trophy bronzeback helped propel the Sturgeon Bay area specifically, the Little Sturgeon Bay to Fish Creek stretch of the waters of Green Bay to the top of the list of Bassmaster magazines 100 hottest bass fisheries on the planet for 2014.
This is the first year that the magazine split Green Bay into northern and southern sections.
A year ago, the entire bay finished 29th on the list. This year, the new format put the southern bay, from the city of Green Bay to Little Sturgeon Bay, in the 31st spot.
The list annually riles up thousands of bass anglers from the U.S. and Canada when dozens of North Americas top fisheries are left off the list. That helps spawn debate from readers and also allows the spotlight to shine on some other waters from time to time.
Last years No. 1, Lake St. Clair in Michigan, dropped to 16th this time. Grand Traverse Bay, Michigan almost straight across the lake from northern Door County was ninth on this years list.
The Door Peninsula paced a top 10 that also included waters from California, Florida, Texas, New York, Alabama, Idaho and Tennessee. Check out the entire list at bassmaster.com.
Simply put, if you want to angle the best bass fishing waters that currently exist for size and numbers, head to Wisconsin, Bassmaster wrote.
Bassmaster magazine is a product of the 46-year-old Bass Angler Sportsmans Society, a half-million-plus-member organization founded by bass fishing legend Ray Scott.
This years Sturgeon Bay Open is set for May 16-17. Through last week, 112 teams had entered. Learn more at sbobt.org, or follow along on the SBOBTs Facebook page.
Baileys tourney
The Baileys Harbor Brown Trout Tournament got underway Friday, with ice still preventing access at most bayside locations.
There were 18 browns larger than 10 pounds brought in on day one, including a monster 24.57-pounder by John Pollock.
Anglers can fish in Door and Kewaunee County waters. Most are trolling stickbaits, spoons and crankbaits in 10 to 30 feet of water, and some monster lake trout have been hooked as well.
Andy Stuth sent a photo of a pair of lakers at midweek that totaled 38 pounds. Meant to track him down for a story but forgot. Next time Andy!
Free fishing apps
Download a free Wisconsin fish identification app at seagrant.wisc.edu/fishid in time for next weekends general inland game fishing season opener. There is also a finger-friendly website available for phones and tablets at the same URL.
UW-Sea Grant designed and released this photo-rich tool. Anglers can search by fish name, similar fish in the family or physical featuresshape, distinctive features, pattern and type of fins, mouth, scales, spine, tail or coloring. Each entry depicts the fish, sometimes from several photographic angles, and offers a short write-up about fish features.
The DNR also has an app for anglers. Search Wisconsin Pocket Ranger in the Apple App Store or Google Play.
Turkey hunting
Wild turkey hunters are into the second spring period of the season, and have already tagged more than 3,700 bearded birds in Zone 2. Statewide, more than 16,500 toms, jakes and bearded hens had been reported through Friday.
A second straight late winter had birds still in large flocks longer than usual, but gobblers are finally starting to split up. Some hunters are using calls and decoys while others sit silently in areas theyve seen toms strut or feed.
DMAP to start
How many landowners will sign up for the states new Deer Management Assistance Program? Thats one of the $125,000 questions as implementation of the Deer Trustee Report begins.
Landowners can join for free, but there are other options at either $75 or $150 for three-year plans.

After Jakarta, the next big stop heading east is the town of Yogyakarta, which is a pleasant little town in its own right, particularly notable for its becaks, bicycle-driven rickshaws which are used to ferry people around, tourists and locals alike. However, the main reason for going there is to visit the two stunning ancient monuments nearby, Borobudur and Prambanan, two unconnected sites ...
Village life at its best
... a nice change to the ash-ridden world I had come from.
Today was time for yet another hike though it was one that was promised not to put any more holes in my pants. Luckily the promise held true or I'd soon be running out of pants. The walk went through a local village where we passed some interesting characters like the lady who was walking her goats, the man driving his motorbike full of rice cuttings, or the team of builders flirting with ...
Jungle Jive
... through the middle of the jungle to Java's oldest Hindu temple was quiet unexpected. A challenging hike can mean many things to many people so I wouldn't discourage anyone from giving it a try. Although, when it starts raining in the jungle, walking in slippery mud and being as clumsy as I am can only lead to 'bad' things like a few falls onto unknown spikey shrubs and the inevitable ripping of holes in ones pants. Yes, that is correct; ...

The hostel was very easy to find and the staff were super friendly. We ended up in a dormitory room where the bunks look like jigsaw pieces the way they are stacked up. The hostel is located on the roof of a hotel and has bamboo gazebos and bunkhouses. You can hear the Muslim prayers that are done over ...

Today has been an especially long day for me. I woke up around 4 am, went back to sleep and woke up again at 5:45.

I just stayed up, editing some photos, got my stuff together for a walk to the waterfalls that we missed yesterday because it was dark. Then I headed off to breakfast.

London 2012: NBC Nets Highest Rated Summer Olympics Opener in History
The network trumpeted 40.7 million viewers for the tape-delayed opening ceremony in London.
A tape delay and illegal internet streaming feeds didn't stop NBC from scoring two Olympic records on Friday night.
The network announced early Saturday that it had earned the highest rating for a non-US Olympics opening ceremony in television history, a 23 overnight rating and 40 share. That tops the previous high of 21.5/37 that tuned in for the 2008 summer games opener in Beijing.
The broadcast averaged 40.7 million viewers, which tops the 1996 Atlanta games (39.8) for the largest Summer Olympics opening ceremony in history. Beijing averaged 34.9 million.
PHOTOS: London 2012: Inside the Opening Ceremony
The London opening ceremony, directed to critical acclaim by Oscar-winner Danny Boyle, featured plenty of British cultural touchstones, including a skit featuring James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Queen Elizabeth II. That earned major plaudits, as did a segment with Mary Poppins and Harry Potter's Voldemort.
The event was the most watched event in Britain this year, with an audience of 22.4 million, and the highest-rated Olympics opener in at least two decades.
NBC's broadcast featured commentator Bob Costas' 12-second moment of silence in protest of the IOC's decision to deny the recognition of the 40th anniversary of the killing of 12 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Games.

|Torre: Proctor won't be suspended
|Written by Admin
|Saturday, 02 June 2007 08:59
Yankees manager Joe Torre said before Saturday's game he got the news from general manager Brian Cashman.
``Getting hit is part of the game,'' Torre said. ``If you take pitching inside away, you can't survive in this game.''
Youkilis approached the mound after he was hit by a pitch that veered near his head in the ninth inning of New York's 9-5 victory. The benches and bullpens emptied, and Proctor was immediately ejected.
Proctor was suspended for four games last month after pitching inside and sparking a brawl against the Seattle Mariners.

Environmental Modeling & Assessment builds bridges between the scientific community's understanding of key environmental issues and the decision makers' need to influence relevant policies and regulations on the basis of the best available information. The journal offers high quality, peer-reviewed papers that may be regarded as either instances of best practice, or as studies that advance the evolution and applicability of the theories and techniques of modeling and assessment. In particular, the editors are interested both in detailed scientific models of specific environmental problems and in large scale models of the global environment.
The journal also provides a forum where researchers can publish a complete mathematical description of important environmental models together with the accompanying analysis and underlying assumptions.
There are no page charges to publish in this journal.
