but the story line and fighting are what really showed, the controls are quick and simple, and the story goes very deep. i used to be really into the show in like 6th grade, and this actually interested me, it's all around just a good game, worth a buy for the playing hours put into it. the only con was walking around from city to city to get dolls and pearls.. and material collecting, just kind of boring, but this game is a good challenge, and very long.
Best Anime Game Ever!!!

For those of you curious about trying about the game, i would recomend it to everyone. This game is long and will have you hooked for hours on end, and after beating it, like myself, i will probably be re-playing the story mode for all of its epicness. the only downside to the game is it reveals everything that you may have not seen in the manga or subbed episodes online, so if your one for wanting to see the fights happen while you sit back and chill, then do that as soon as possible before you start the game up. And as a side reminder for all of you achievement hunters, this game requires endless hours of play time in order to achieve some of the achievements. Good luck to all who play and hope you enjoy it as much as i am right now!!

that being said I really enjoyed this game. being able to play through the fights was fun, they have some button combination sequence things you do in bossfights that are like special events and uber powerful attacks, again if you watch the series its like reliving the best parts of the fights without the dragging dialogue, it does move rather quickly though and doesn't take long to clear everything, which is a little dissapointing to me, but I understand as to unlock all the characters in the 2 player fight mode you need to clear the entire story mode.
the game is really beautiful too, it has alot of attention to detail and the fighting system is really basic, but also fairly complex as they added a way to combo attacks with support characters that can be OP if done right,
If you aren't familiar with the series at all but enjoy a good story, it is an awesome story, I would strongly recommend watching it in japanese with english subs, as the english will make you not like the show, its gross, its not the coolest fighter ever, but its got alot of cool characters with alot of different styles and abilites, and a fighting system that you can have alot of fun with without needing to spend too much time learning it.
One of the best

Graphics: 10/10
This is truly where the game shines, everything from the character models, to the background design in levels, and the world in Ultimate Adventure look absolutely gorgeous. It every aspect it truly captures the feel and the look of the Naruto Shippuden anime.
Game-play: 8.5/10
Here is where fans of the Ubisoft games seem to find disappointment. Anyone expecting a Street Fighter, or Tekken style fighter, look elsewhere for this comes closer to being a Naruto simulator than a legit fighting game. It truly is an easy-to-learn-but-hard-to-master fighting system. If you're looking for a game to compare to, it would be closer to a game like Power Stone for the Dreamcast, or in a sense to the Dragonball: Raging Blast game (it being a Dragonball simulator rather than a fighter).
Story: 8.5/10
The "Ultimate Adventure" story-mode is what you could expect from an anime based fighting game, it serves to provide narrative tie-ins for the fights. It's an enjoyable experience in my opinion, with about 25-30 hours of game-play (12-15 hours if you ignore side-quests).
Online Multiplayer: 8/10
One of the major selling points for this game for many Ultimate Ninja fans, was the chance to finally get an online battle option. While it's obvious that it's CyberConnect2's first attempt at online play, it's still quote enjoyable. You can customize your own "Ninja Info Card" with an image taken directly from the anime, and a title that you unlock by playing (over 100 titles). The only issue I can see with it, is that sometimes the latency is an issue and you get some lag, but that's maybe 1 in 5 games.
Overall score: 9/10
This game is WIN

The Good: The Story. It goes through the whole series of Shippuden, minus a few story arcs. (Will of Fire was one I noticed.)
The characters. They all have their skills from the anime/manga.
The combo's. Some of them work in the users Jutsus. One of Kabuto's combo's summons a dead anbu to strike the opponant. I
The Bad: Blocking. Everything but Grabs can be blocked. Wind rasengon? Hold block and it ain't no thang. It does break after continued use, but it will take a full combo. And, say you block someone's justu; they have a second or two animation for standing back up and getting into position, leaving them open for Ult/normal jutsu or a combo.
The Ugly: Substitution. You can Substitute ANYTHING. Hit block at the right moment before getting hit and you're instantly behind them. It does take chakra, but that's easy to get back. It gets pretty silly when you're in a combo just spamming your block buttons.
Over all, it's a great game. You'll have a lot of fun if you beat the campain (Which unlocks most of the characters excluding Killer Bee, Yamato, Taka Sauske, and Lars.) After that it's nonstop matches your friends/ Online matches. Great pick if you get it, hope this helped.
Good game

Also, online is sometimes not the greatest with a bunch of lagswitches and people who don't like to play the game fairly and spam Rasengan, First specials, and also team specials, while doing so, running with shurikins and then when you rush, they use ultimate, pointless to even put combos in this game if you're just going to do the same thing the whole match regardless of how the other player is playing. But otherwise, without lag, and spammers, online is quite amaing as well, this game is also a great game to play with a bunch of friends, switching off with losers.

As Ryan Seacrest tweeted, it's "always great spending new year's with friends." Of course, the friends he partied with on New Year's Eve were "@Pitbull, @JustinBieber, @SantanaCarlos."
Demi Lovato looked more like Jessie J as she tried on a sleek bob wig before hosting MTV's NYE. "Hey guys... Like my new look? :P" she tweeted—well do you?
One would imagine that if anyone were to go hard on New Year's Eve, it would be party girl Snooki. She surprised her Twitter followers with this pic of her low-key (and lovey-dovey) night. "This is how I spent nye. Sick, in pajamas, loving the guy that means the world to me," tweeted Snooki.
Hilary Duff shared this photo of herself getting festive with Santas's littlest helper. "Happy holidays from the three of us!! @HaylieK what would I do without you and your artistic ways!" tweeted the mom-to-be.
"Barcelona, you've won me over. I'm in love. #sadtoleavebutmustgoonward," tweeted world traveler Dianna Agron.
Rihanna spent the holidays at home in Barbados, catching up with family like her cute old grandma who it looks like she took shopping. "#GmaDolly #BadBitchStatus," tweeted the We Found Love singer.
Heidi Klum shared pics of her white Christmas on the slopes with husband Seal.
"Happy New Year!! I wish everyone a safe, happy, fun, successful and peaceful 2012! Xoxo," tweeted model Lindsay Ellingson.
Model Jacquelyn Jablonski's family fed her addiction for the holidays. "Guess my family found out about my coffee obsession?" she tweeted, displaying her caffeinated gifts.
Chrissy Teigen felt sorry for herself on New Year's Eve: "Happy new year from me, alone in the dressing room, drinking away 2011," tweeted the swimsuit model.
As a celebrity fashion contributor for theFashionSpot, Ellen Freeman vacillates between being a superfan and a hater. She studied comparative literature at Haverford College and has written for Glimpse, Philadelphia Weekly, and the Philadelphia Live Arts blog. Ellen's day jobs in her hometown of Portland, Oregon include nannying, teaching yoga and thrift store spelunking.

Improve the airflow on your 2007-2014 Shelby GT500 or supercharged 5.0L 2011-14 Mustang GT with the VMP TwinJet Throttle Body! This throttle body has been proven to add an extra 30-40 horsepower with this super simple 20 minute install. We installed one on our 2013 Mustang GT with a VMP Supercharger and saw a WHOPPING 30+ HP in horsepower!
The VMP 67mm TwinJet Throttle Body allows maximum air flow to produce incredible horsepower gains. You will also see improved throttle response once installed. It also features a polished finish that will improve the engine compartment. It comes with all the electronics pre-installed and setup so you don't have to worry about making adjustments after the installation!
** 2007-12 Shelby GT500 with 5.4L Engine
** 2013-14 Shelby GT500 with 5.8L Engine
** 2011-14 5.0L Mustang GT & Boss 302 with Whipple, Roush or VMP TVS Supercharger Kit
Ford Mustang - 2007 (07) - 2008 (08) - 2009 (09) - 2010 (10) - 2011 (11) - 2012 (12) - 2013 (13) - 2014 (14)
On a supercharged car, getting air into the motor is just as important as compressing it and getting it back out. One way to improve airflow on your supercharged car is with the VMP TwinJet 67 millimeter throttle body. Justin, what sets your throttle body apart from the rest?
Well, my throttle body is unique in several aspects. It comes polished. It's got this excellent profiling on the inlet, and that helps to get more air into a reasonably sized throttle body that'll still drive well but will perform very well in the dyno. This is one of the parts that we featured here on this VMP Stage Three kit. And when we swapped it on from a stock 60 millimeter throttle body, it gained over 30 rear-wheel horsepower. We've seen gains as much as 42 rear-wheel horsepower on high boost applications.
One of the features that makes it easy for the end user to install is that the electronics are already assembled onto the throttle body and set. It comes ready to go and takes about 20 minutes to install. You can put it on an '07 to '12 Shelby GT 500, a '13 to '14 Shelby GT 500, a five-liter with a Whipple, Roush, or VMP supercharger.
Plug and play, up to 40 rear wheel horsepower, depending on your application, and direct bolt-on. How can you go wrong? Pick up the your TwinJet 67 millimeter throttle body from LatemodelRestoration.com.

WASHINGTON - Boosting its foothold in the United States, the pan-Arab television Al-Jazeera has reached a deal to buy a new US-based news channel, a step that poses a challenge to the flagship channel to overcome a significant image problem in the country.
"We are proud and pleased that Al-Jazeera, the award-winning international news organization, has bought Current TV," former vice-president Al Gore, the San Francisco-based channel's chairman, and Joel Hyatt, co-founder and CEO, said in a statement cited by Agence France-Presse (AFP).
The Doha-based television announced a deal on Wednesday, January 2, to buy Current TV, the cable channel founded by Al Gore.
The price of the purchase was not disclosed, but people with direct knowledge of the deal pegged it at around $500 million, indicating a $100 million payout for Gore, who owned 20 percent of Current.
The Arabic broadcaster said it will start a new US-based news channel with the acquisition, which will make it available in more than 40 million US households, up from 4.7 million at present.
"By acquiring Current TV, Al-Jazeera will significantly expand our existing distribution footprint in the US, as well as increase our newsgathering and reporting," said Al-Jazeera Director General Ahmed bin Jassim Al Thani.
The deal brings Al-Jazeera, which operates under the patronage of the emir of Qatar and his family, into closer competition with American news channels like CNN, MSNBC and Fox.
Current, a liberal channel which has battled low viewership, had been distributed in about 60 million of the 100 million homes in the United States with cable or satellite service.
One of its distributors, Time Warner Cable, which accounted for about 12 million of those homes, announced late Wednesday it was terminating its carriage deal.
"Our agreement with Current has been terminated and we will no longer be carrying the service. We are removing the service as quickly as possible," Time Warner Cable said in a statement.
Al-Jazeera, which began broadcasting in 1996 with staff largely drawn from the BBC's short-lived Arabic television, gained world fame through its exclusive reporting of the US military intervention in Afghanistan in late 2001.
Known for its forthright style, frank journalism, quality programs, independence and willingness to discuss taboo issues, Al-Jazeera is the most-watched channel in the Arab world.
But the pan-Arab television came under fire over its coverage of popular revolts in some Arab countries.
Some criticize Al-Jazeera for its sensational coverage of anti-regime protests in Syria, while almost neglecting coverage of the strife in Bahrain, a neighbor to Qatar.
Image Problem
But analysts opine that Al-Jazeera will have a major challenge in removing a major image problem in the United States.
"Al-Jazeera has deeper pockets. The downside is the politics, Jimmy Schaeffler, pay TV consultant at The Carmel Group, told Reuters.
People in America associate Al-Jazeera with the Muslim world or the Arab world or the Islam world and they have problems with that.
"They have psychological, political and emotional concerns and that will work against them."
Robert Thompson, professor of TV and popular culture at Syracuse University, agrees.
"There's a fair amount of paranoia when it comes to Al-Jazeera," he said.
Al-Jazeera has won the ire of American politicians for showing videotape from Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
There are still people who will not watch it, who will say that it's a terrorist network,' Philip Seib, the author of The Al-Jazeera Effect, told The New York Times.
Al-Jazeera has to override that by providing quality news.
Al-Jazeera's new channel would air in 2013 and would be headquartered in New York City.In addition to existing bureaus in New York, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Miami and Chicago, Al-Jazeera would open more bureaus and would double its US-based staff to more than 300 employees.

Preliminary Design for an Improved Battle Cruiser ... May 16, 1918
Preliminary design plan for an improved version of the planned Constellation (Battle Cruiser # 1) class, prepared as one of a series of preliminary designs in response to Chief Constructor David Taylor's direction to his design staff on 9 April 1918 to prepare designs that merged battleship and battle cruiser qualities in a new ship type. This particular drawing -- designated "Scheme B" -- was laid out by Navy civilian naval architect James L. Bates. Compared with Constellation, "Scheme B" increased armor protection and introduced torpedo side protection while incorporating eight 16-inch guns in place of ten 14-inch guns.
This plan provided eight 16-inch guns, electric drive machinery, and a speed of 33 knots in a ship 850 feet long on the waterline, 99 feet in beam, and with a normal displacement of 45,000 tons.
Note: The original document was a blueprint (white on dark blue).
The original plan is in the 1911-1925 "Spring Styles Book".

text: It was a special occasion so this place looked spectacular with attention to detail and the presentation of food is out of this world! A delicious and decadent menu along with sushi for those who want a lighter alternative. This restaurant was surprisingly not very busy (perhaps it is because it is tucked away in a hotel) however, the service is that of 5 star quality. Never neglected and could not ask for better attentiveness to us all night long. The delicious food was overwhelming! it was so amazing I would love to go back again and again! The soft shell crab is the hero of the night along with the miso cod. It really was one of my best ever meals in London and the service was that of something I have yet to experience in london! You have to eat here!

College Lacrosse Video Explosion
The College Lacrosse season is upon us, and while every team out there hasn't played a game yet (NCAA D3 NESCAC teams don't start practice for 5 more days), plenty of teams have seen game action, and others are putting up solid preseason video. That means one thing: It's time for a Video Explosion!

Increase of land supply may no longer control property prices
Apr 23, 2012 | Comments 0
Trying to control Singapore's property prices by increasing the supply of land as part of the government land sales program me may no longer be effective.
According to Channel News Asia, this means that property prices may continue to remain high due to strong demand for such projects.
The government's latest release of six sites for residential development are expected to generate strong interest from developers.
Last year, a record number of 35 land parcels for private residences were put out for sale by the government.
"Developers through their innovative design and so on, are increasing the elasticity of demand. In other words, whatever the government can push out, developers are able to absorb that supply and turn them into new products which the market is buying up," said Nicholas Mak, executive director, Research, SLP International. "So the policy of trying to stabilise prices or reducing prices by pushing out more land parcels is actually not working out as initially planned."
Record sales of residential properties in recent months have also boosted developer's confidence. Analysts said developers are now willing to bid higher for choice sites and the site at Buangkok Drive will attract seven to 12 bidders.
While the six sites are estimated to yield 2,380 units, this number could turn out higher due to a shrinking size of the unit to make space for more units and offset the pricier piece of land.
With low borrowing costs and aspirations of HDB upgrades, demand is predicted to remain high.
"Generally developers are still positive about the property market because they feel that people still want to upgrade, (and) move into a private condominium residential unit," said Lee Sze Teck, senior research manager.

Skype Beta: Phoning and Sharing Desktops
Skype has released a beta version of its chat and VoIP program for Linux under the code-name Talking Screens. Despite the minor version number change, the software has many new features.
The newest Skype for Linux 2.1 beta 2 includes screen sharing, support for UI styles, and IM quoting, as beta project manager Raul Liive reports in the Skype blog. Other features include localized time formats and spam abuse reporting. A few issues cropped up on 64-bit systems with older libraries, with available workarounds reported in the Skype Developer Zone.
First impressions: thanks to the new UI styles Skype now practically supports Qt decorations natively, although Oxygen styles can lead to graphics problems (broken symbols and reduced text box sizes), depending on the setup; however, QtCurve was error-free on a KDE4 desktop.
The IM quoting function is cute but a bit awkward – it requires marking the text and then having to select an item from the menu. However, the screen sharing function does work well and is useful especially for those needing Linux support from time to time. The screen-sharing function is only available during calls and shows up at the bottom of the call window. It works equally well with Linux, Mac, and Windows clients. The function appears only in the context menu of the call window.
As usual, Skype provides precompiled packages for Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, and Ubuntu, and static binary downloads for all other distros. The actual beta2 version numbering is 18.104.22.168, with the release notes at Skype.

Bursting with juice
At long last, an apple with so much juice it is almost more juice than apple. Junami! This variety of apple comes from Switzerland, a cross between Ideared and Maigold with Elstar. All of the good characteristics of its forbears unite in this new fruity thirst quencher. They are beautifully round and their eye-catching red colour makes you want to sink your teeth into one! When you experience its fresh fruity taste and crunchy bite, you will never want to eat any other apple!
The perfect break
Junami is the perfect snack. Whether you're exercising, working, at a party or watching an exciting movie. Eat a Junami, it'll quench your thirst and you'll be back in shape. An added bonus is the fact that a Junami is grown under stringent and controlled conditions.
Great news for everyone who eats apples!
Do you often eat apples? Then we have good news for you! Apples have been found to contain a unique substance called phloridzine, which apparently is only found in apples. Phloridzine sees to it that part of the sugars you eat are not digested. So if you eat an apple it will curb you appetite and fill your stomach... but it won't make you fat! What's more, your body can't 'access' the sugars in apples as well as those in, for example, candy. Your body has to use more energy to free up the sugars in apples and that is why an apple is a much smarter choice for a snack than a chocolate bar or other sweets. Do you often eat apples and also choose a Junami? Then we have great news for you! Research has shown that a Junami contains twice as much phloridzine as other apples. By the way, the highest concentration of this special substance is in the peel!

John Moe, host of the Marketplace Tech Report joins us every Thursday. This week he'll talk about Nevada officials voting on whether or not to allow betting for online poker. If the state's gambling regulators decide to legalize it, Nevada will become first state to grant Internet poker licenses. He'll also discuss the recent announcement from Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood that his department doesn't support a ban of all phone use in cars. Good news for distracted drivers, bad news for anyone near those distracted drivers.

Janet Jackson, an American singer-songwriter, producer, dancer and actress is the youngest child of the legendary Jackson family, the sister of pop icon Michael Jackson. Janet Jackson kept her level of quality control very high; her singles were always expertly crafted, with indelible pop hooks and state-of-the-art production that kept up with contemporary trends in urban R&B. Janet Jackson was able to avoid significant career missteps, musical and otherwise, and successfully shifted her image from a strong, independent young woman to a sexy, mature adult. Janet Jackson first appeared on-stage with the Jackson 5 at age seven, and began a sitcom acting career at the age of ten in 1977, when producer Norman Lear selected her to join the cast of Good Times. She subsequently appeared on Diff'rent Strokes (1981-1982) and A New Kind of Family.

Janet Jackson released her self-titled first album on A&M in 1982; a couple of singles scraped the lower reaches of the charts. She was cast in the musical series Fame in 1983; the following year, issuing her second album, " Dream Street ", which sold even more poorly than its predecessor. Her next album, "Control", presented her as a confident, tough-minded young woman which became an out-of-the-box hit, and eventually spun off six singles. Her collaboration with Jam and Lewis on more socially conscious material formed the backbone of 1989's Rhythm Nation 1814. Most of the record's singles were bright and romantically themed; four of them -- "Miss You Much," "Escapade," "Black Cat," and "Love Will Never Do (Without You)" -- hit number one, and three more -- "Rhythm Nation," "Alright," and "Come Back to Me" -- reached the Top Five, making Janet Jackson the first artist ever to produce seven Top Five hits off of one album.
"The Best Things in Life Are Free," was a major R&B hit, reaching the pop Top Ten. The following year, Janet Jackson resumed her acting career, co-starring in acclaimed director John Singleton's Poetic Justice, along with rapper Tupac Shakur. In 1995, Janet and Michael teamed up for the single "Scream," which was supported by an elaborate, award-winning, space-age video that was ranked as the most expensive music video ever made. In 1996, A&M issued a retrospective of her years at the label, Design of a Decade 1986-1996. Janet Jackson also signed a new contract with Virgin for a reported $80 million.
Her album, "The Velvet Rope" in 1997, was touted as her most personal and intimate work to date though didn't prove to be the blockbuster singles bonanza that its predecessors were. In 2000, Janet Jackson appeared in the Eddie Murphy comedy Nutty Professor II: The Klumps, and her soundtrack contribution, "Doesn't Really Matter," became a number one single. Jackson returned with a new album, "All for You", in 2001, which largely continued the sensual tone of Janet. Janet Jackson now ranks as the ninth most successful artist in the history of rock and roll, according to Billboard in 2004.

OK, so I've had some early pregnancy symptoms for about two weeks now. Unmistakeable symptoms because I have Secondary IF; my daughter is about to turn 2.
Anyway, every pregnancy test that I've taken for the last two weeks has been negative. Except for yesterday, I got a positive on a Fact Plus. But then I took an "Answer" brand test this morning, and it was negative. Both were FMU. I know that all I can do is wait a few more days, but I can't get out of my head that I might be PG again.
Anyone know of any reason why I might get a false positive? ANd I'm pretty sure that it wasn't an evap line; it was definitely blue, not gray.
The only time I had a false positive was when I had an unruptured follicle (cyst). I just happened to take a hpt before going to the RE that day and it came up positive. I went to the appt anyway and during my scan he saw my follie was 26cm. I told him about my positive test then he gave me a blood test. It was negative. He said my body is just trying to pop the follicle thus producing extra hcg (?) causing it to be a false positive.
When I got home I read the instructions and it did mention that a false positive could be from a cyst.
I hope you get the answer you want it to be. Good luck!

REVIEW SUMMARY: An anthology showcasing the authors of the writing group Written in Blood.
MY RATING: context-free, within the larger context.
PROS: The anthology has variety and all its stories except one are competently executed.
CONS: Most of the stories have serious flaws and almost none are memorable.
This anthology contains one story from each of the eight members of the writing group Written in Blood. All have published short stories in well-known SF/F venues and two (de Bodard, Hardy) have also brought out novels. So these are not beginners in the crafts of either writing or publishing.
Because the collection is meant to showcase the individual authors, the content and style of the stories rove freely. Given the collection's goal, most of the story choices are puzzling because they don't represent the authors' best efforts. As is my habit, I'll start from the bottom and work my way up, so that we begin with gruel and end with truffles, if not ambrosia.

Aberdeen Travel Guide
Aberdeen Attractions
Top Attractions
Aberdeen Art Gallery The Gallery was purpose-built in 1884. A central fountain dominates the Centre Court, and the pillars, which run down from the upper balcony, are hewn from local marble. The policy of the gallery is to acquire contemporary art, particularly British work.
Town House/Tolbooth Union Street. Take a walk around the city centre and take in the granite buildings that give Aberdeen its title of: 'The Granite City' The turreted spire of the granite Town House is worth a look as the steel-grey 19th century façade actually hides a 17th century building called the Tolbooth. Utilised as a jail for centuries, the Tolbooth now houses a museum dealing with the concept of crime and punishment.
Marischal College - Broad Street. This is Aberdeen's most imposing building which is the second-largest granite building in the world.
Footdee Located at the east corner of the harbour, Footdee is a nineteenth-century fishermen's village that consists of quaint cottages, which back onto the sea. Their doors and windows face inwards to give them protection from storms but also, so local folklore has it, to stop the Devil from sneaking in via the back door.
La Paella Actually a home delivery and catering service specialising in Paella and Tapas. The food is great and you get to keep the pan your paella gets cooked and delivered in!!

Before we retreat for the weekend, a few updates on legislation affecting women, and a story of a news anchor crossing a line.
After days of protests and outcry, we have some small victories to celebrate in Virginia. First, Governor Bob McDonnell said he would reconsider the bill requiring a woman to undergo an invasive ultrasound prior to obtaining an abortion. Then the Virginia Senate effectively killed the personhood amendment by sending it back to committee. We can't forget of course, Texas has a similar ultrasound law and other states have introduced personhood bills.
Women in Wisconsin earn, on average, just .75 cents for every dollar a man earns. Still, "the State Assembly voted Tuesday night to repeal the 2009 Equal Pay Enforcement Act." The Huffington Post captured the reaction of Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), "I'm very disappointed with the Wisconsin state legislature. Yet another big step back for women. This is becoming a real pattern."
Speaking of women and work, a FOX news anchor caused a minor uproar when he said he had a word that started with a "B" to describe NASCAR driver Danica Patrick. He later apologized. But more concerning, frankly, were his comments that what's "not attractive" about Patrick is that "she's sexy and she knows it." What was his point? That women can't own their assets? I don't like Patrick's GoDaddy ads, but she has every right to know what is great about her – including her track record as a driver.
Have a great weekend.

Friday, 7 p.m., San Rafael
Outlook: The Red-tailed Hawks, coming off a bye week, would have to be considered a heavy favorite against San Rafael, which is experiencing growing pains under first-year coach Clay Jackson. Tam features one of the MCAL's top defenses with an average of 212 yards total offense allowed in its four league contests. That could make for a long night for the Bulldogs, who rarely throw the football and have been outscored 139-22 in their three league contests. "If everyone does their job, we know we can at least make it competitive," Jackson said. "We've just got to play disciplined football and let the chips fall where they may. Their defense has been the best I've seen in the league — I haven't seen Marin Catholic play just because we don't play them — but of all the teams I've seen on film or going out to watch, they have the best defense.
DRAKE (4-3, 1-3) at MARIN CATHOLIC (7-1, 5-0)
Saturday, 1 p.m., Kentfield
Outlook: Last weekend the Drake football team found its first league win in a 38-16 rout of San Rafael, but face its toughest opponent of the season in undefeated MCAL powerhouse Marin Catholic. "We know we have a tough task but we're treating it as a great opportunity to play one of the highest ranked teams in the Bay Area," Drake coach Ethan Hough said. "We're trying to make sure that our guys know that they're going to need to play well." Specifically, Hough said, all of his seniors know that they need to contribute — especially at this late date. "Our seniors know that there's only a few games left in the season," he said, which means the end of many football careers. With only one loss, MC coach Mazi Moayed said his players are achieving what they always aim for — to be better at the end of the season than they were in Week 1. This week, his Wildcats are focusing on playing "fast and sound fundamentally, on both sides of the ball," Moayed said. Both teams will look to contain the other's quarterback, and are closely guarding how that will be carried out. "We know Goff's a special talent at quarterback," Hough said. "We're going to look for ways to get him off his game. We've got some ideas to go after him and we'll see how it is at the end."
REDWOOD (1-6, 1-3) at SAN MARIN (2-6, 2-3)
Saturday, 2 p.m., Novato
Outlook: Both the Giants and the Mustangs came off tough losses last week. Redwood fell to Novato in a 41-6 game while San Marin lost to Justin-Siena 42-15. "Last week we played really flat," San Marin coach Dan Hickey said. "We just really let down. We didn't come out strong." Turning the page after last week's loss may be easier said than done as the Mustangs are without running back David Marinoff, who broke his collarbone in practice on Monday. Hickey will be looking to Kyle Chernoff to be the workhorse at running back this week. Redwood, on the other hand, will be getting back running back Matt Blum and safety Navid Izadjou. Redwood coach Corky Henderson hopes that these two players will revitalize his team's energy. Redwood will look to its rejuvenated running game to get them going offensively. "We will do the usual: try to establish the run game then throw the ball a little more," Henderson said. "Our passing game is stepping up a little bit."
Saturday, 2 p.m, Novato
Outlook: The Hornets have won seven in a row against Justin-Siena since 2004, when the Braves last beat Novato 21-14. To make it eight in a row in the series, Novato will need to control the Justin-Siena running game, which on Friday night against San Marin produced two 100-yard rushers in Diano Pachote and Austin Connolly in a lopsided victory. Braves QB Marcus Armstrong-Brown is also a threat to run (7.8 yards per carry) or pass (five TD throws) and Justin-Siena's defense has produced 22 sacks, including 11.5 from LB Brandon Weaver. "We have to stop the run," Novato coach Travis Brackett said when asked about the key to victory for his Hornets. "Coach (Rich) Cotruvo — I respect those guys immensely and they do a great job up there — they run a great offense, they're extremely efficient, their line play is outstanding and we have to do a good job stopping the run. They're going to get yards, but we have to stop them. We can't let them get off tackle and break big plays. We've got to contain the quarterback and we have to do a better job with the ball." For Justin-Siena, the formula for victory is virtually the same. In RB Herve Changeux, Novato has the MCAL's second-leading rusher after he piled up 196 yards and three touchdowns in a win over Redwood on Saturday. And DL Trevor Raras and LB Corey Inman lead a solid defense. "We have an opportunity to finish our season strong," Cotruvo said Friday after his team's game. "We're thinking about Novato — we haven't beaten them since 2004 — and maybe they look vulnerable this year. So we're going to go in there and try to take a victory."
Saturday, 2 p.m., Petaluma
Outlook: After losing four in a row in the series with St. Vincent, Tomales has won the past three meetings with the Mustangs, who like the Braves are already playoff-eligible and thus are battling for both league position but a better seed for the North Coast Section playoffs. The teams enter play in a three-way tie with California School for the Deaf, one game behind Upper Lake. The team that loses will likely be eliminated from contention for the North Central League II/Bay Football League title. "It's a great rivalry," Tomales coach Leon Feliciano said of the series with St. Vincent. "It's always a tough matchup. They can definitely throw the ball, I think that's their strength — (Mitch) Sheppard's a real good quarterback and they've got good receivers — and I think their running game is a little underrated. And it's a rivalry. It's a big game for us." Tomales will counter with a ground game which is averaging more than 300 yards per game. "It's going to be some passing against some running, I'm sure," St. Vincent coach Gary Galloway observed. "It's going to be a game where the team that makes the least amount of mistakes is going to be the one that comes out on top." The coach noted, however, that mistakes have been a problem for his team — with the exception of a Week 1 effort that produced a win over St. Bernard's. "Actually, our first game of the year was our best game, against St. Bernard's, which usually doesn't happen. You try to build up to that, and what I try to tell my team is we're looking for that game again. We're looking for that kind of performance every Saturday, and we haven't done it since that first game."

Wayne's Story
I'm the kind of sexual abuser you don't ever hear much about: one who is recovering and is living an abuse-free, victim-free life outside any official supervision or court jurisdiction. It's been 17 years since I molested anyone, and I work at it every single day of my life. Many parts of my life for 20 years before that would have made any parent proud of a grown son -- college grad, journalist, newspaper owner, coach – but it was part of a mask for my secret life. That secret life was focused on getting close to adolescent boys, gaining their trust and then sexually abusing them.
I was caught. Twice. After my first stretch of jail time I got some counseling, but it was too general to make much of a difference. In the early 1970s hardly anyone – in heartland Kansas or anywhere else – knew how to help a sexual abuser change his focus and manage his life to stay abuse-free. If there had been a Stop It Now! program and treatment programs when I was first caught, maybe I could have gotten help sooner and maybe I would not have hurt as many kids.
Ten years later when I was charged for the second time for indecent liberties with a minor, I was relieved. I wanted to stop, but I didn't know how.
Eventually friends directed me to a specialized sex offender treatment program. I got into a 3-month evaluation program (which my judge allowed instead of a regular pre-sentence report) that really turned me inside out and then set me in the right direction. Through every phase, they talked of the despicable behavior I had done, but yet always showed me, as a person, respect. It was significant in giving me the confidence and trust to open up secret information that nobody else knew.
There was more treatment after that. And I'm still working on it every day.
The first step in treatment was in a substance abuse program. By substituting my sexual behaviors where others dealt with their drug of choice, I got a chance to see that there was a pattern to my behavior.
The best thing about the treatment program I joined at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore was that they talked with me directly about my attraction to young boys - they didn't use fancy language or explain my sexually abusive behavior away as part of some childhood trauma. Rather than dwelling on how I got the way I was, they emphasized that we had to make a strategy to stop my behavior NOW because I was hurting people. This was real, concrete help.
I really had hoped that evaluation in Baltimore would encourage the judge to sentence me to probation so I could move there and continue in treatment. Though that didn't happen, my experience in that program had been a real eye-opener, like a whole new education in human sexuality. That program, that crash course in Relapse Prevention, formed a base I was able to build on in the three different groups I was in during a Kansas prison stint of five years. In those groups I worked on other elements of my personality, sexuality, and further developed my relapse prevention plan.
When I was released on parole (and with my parole officer's permission), I returned to Baltimore to rejoin the Johns Hopkins program. I was in therapy groups at the National Institute for the Study, Prevention and Treatment of Sexual Trauma (the program's new name) for six years as I pieced my life back together. This specialized program helped me learn how to manage my sexual urges and redirect them towards an adult partner.
The part of treatment that had the greatest impact on me was learning about victims. While I was abusing them, I had always said to myself that I wasn't doing any harm, that the boys liked the contact, liked sharing their bodies with me, after all, they had to learn about sex somewhere, so why not with me? Of course, it wasn't really "sharing" – sharing is between equals. Now I know that it was theft – of their innocence, of their ability to choose their sexual partner without coercion, however subtle, to choose someone without the built-in power of unequal age, experience, knowledge, and the ability to grant or withhold privileges.
I had never been sexually abused myself as a child, though many abusers have been. But I learned what this experience has meant to victims of sexual abuse. The victims I met through substance abuse treatment, in therapy and in prison taught me about their pain and made me see that I could not go on causing this kind of trauma in other people's lives.
Now, thanks to a lot of help, a lot of treatment, a lot of support, a lot of other people treating me like a human being and not a monster, I'm not in denial about the fact that I'm attracted to adolescent boys. I don't dwell on it, but I don't pretend it doesn't exist.
Every day I acknowledge it and then get on with my life, the daily things I do to make sure I'm not in an emotional place where I'd start planning how to contact a likely boy. Every day I work at a job where any incidental contact with adolescent boys is in public. Every day I call adult friends, work with CURE/SORT, go to support group meetings, and keep refocusing my sexuality on adults.
I also try to help other sexual abusers take responsibility for their lives and the harm they've caused to their victims. I helped to create a national support organization called CURE/SORT for people who have sexual behavior problems or have sexually abused a child and want to turn their lives around. I also try to help the public and policy makers understand that we're not all like the paroled sex offender who raped and murdered Megan Kanka.
Working with Stop It Now! and speaking up as a recovering sex offender is part of showing you that we're not monsters. Many of us get treatment, get released and get honest about who we are and how we can live responsible, victim-free lives.
The message is, there's hope. There are plenty more sexual abusers like me that you never hear about. We're the lucky ones who've gotten treatment and learned how to change our lives. I have made a commitment to do what I can to stop the sexual abuse of children. I speak out publicly as a recovering sexual abuser in order to give hope to families struggling with sexual abuse. I try to let people who have been sexually abused and other sexual abusers know that help is available and that treatment works. I try to get states to make more treatment available for more sexual abusers to stop abusing.
For those who sexually abuse, hope means balancing help and treatment with accountability for our crimes and restitution in some form for the harm we've caused to other people. I now know that there are a lot more of us who want to change our lives, who want to do our part to make sure we have no more victims, ever.

Some family doctors do provide routine Pap smears as one of many standard services that they offer, but check with your doctor to be sure. Doctors who practice family medicine may treat people of both genders and ages ranging from newborn up to elderly.If your doctor determines that you need more specialized care, you may be referred to a gynecologist (a specialist in women's health). Your doctor can work together with the gynecologist to make sure all of your healthcare needs are met.

Just in case you've found yourself on my website for no obvious or apparent reason, it's likely that you're the victim of a scam which is targeting me along with several other websites. In the meantime, take a moment for calm reflection and consider more pleasant things. Enjoy the rest of your day!
Novels & Novellas
I write dark and challenging "hard" science fiction, with an emphasis on the cerebral and the circuitous, with a twist in the tail.
"After many years, two former school friends meet by chance. Or do they? Deborah — a high-flying corporate lawyer, now living in New York — remembers a sequence of events one way, while Ben — a travel writer and campaigning journalist — remembers them another. But why?"
A Darkening of Fortune
"Joe is no super hero, and he quickly realises he's definitely not Ironman, Superman or Batman, when things don't quite work out the way they do in the movies. As his exploits become more elaborate, Joe becomes the target of a determined Colonel Rooney — head of the prototype research program — who doggedly pursues him and the prototype across the fiery cityscape of a London deep in the grip of turmoil…"
"On the verge of a major breakthrough in sleep therapy, Barbara Ostermann, an expert in disruptive sleep disorders, uncovers a remarkable conspiracy that strikes at the very heart of her work and that of her colleagues, Martin — her occasional lover — and Anna — the gregarious though disillusioned young technical prodigy — who team up to help avert an international crisis…"
Earth Day
"How might our quarrelsome and wasteful ways be seen through the gaze of more distant, different and dispassionate eyes? And how might a promise once made by the leaders of the world be re-paid having been broken by their successors?"
No, not like the Marvel Universe
Just after writing Earth Day, I had an idea (more of an epiphany, really), which — on reflection — should have given me more pause for thought, but didn't… Continue reading

Portland School Cafeterias Do Not Serve "Pink Slime"
The Portland Public Schools' food service does not purchase ground beef products containing Lean Finely Textured Beef (LFTB), popularly known as "pink slime."
The district buys precooked beef burgers from a national company that does not use LFTB. In addition, growing portions of Portland's ground beef purchases are from local companies committed to natural and sustainable farming practices.
Portland's school lunch program currently purchases burgers from the Maine Grind in Portland that uses ground beef from Herring Brothers Meats in Guilford – a Maine Organic Farmers and Growers Association (MOFGA) certified processing facility. Herring Brothers uses 100% Maine beef with no LFTB, other fillers, or chemicals in their ground beef. In the last few years, Portland's school lunches have also featured burgers from Pineland Farms in New Gloucester and Wolfe's Neck Farm in Freeport.
Unlike most other school districts in the country, Portland does not purchase ground beef from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) School Commodities Market. All USDA food dollars are received in cash that can be spent with any vendor rather than being locked into commodities foods.
Portland is one of only 30 school districts in the country to have this distinction. That enables the school system to purchase more food from local companies. It also gives the district more flexibility to access the best products at the best prices.
The Portland Public Schools has demonstrated a significant commitment to providing students with healthy and wholesome food. In the past five years, the district has increased the nutrition content of foods and purchased more local foods while still working within school budget limitations.
In 2011, eight of Portland's elementary schools received the USDA's Healthier US Schools Challenge Bronze Award. The award recognizes excellence in school meals, with menus that meet nutrition standards above and beyond federal and state requirements.

Simply post the URL to the video into the page or post content area. Make sure that the URL is on its own line and not hyperlinked (clickable when viewing the post).
For example:
Check out this cool video: http://youtu.be/KshLPLDvdWk~ That was a cool video.
WordPress will automatically turn that into a YouTube embed. In case it fails to embed the video there will be a link to the URL. This will work not only with video but also with other content like photos from Flickr etc.
Can you use any URL?
Not by default. For security reasons we only embed URLs matching an internal whitelist:
- YouTube
- Vimeo
- DailyMotion
- blip.tv
- Flickr (both videos and images)
- Viddler
- Hulu
- Qik
- Revision3
- Scribd
- Photobucket
- PollDaddy
- Google Video
- WordPress.tv (only VideoPress-type videos for the time being)
new since WordPress 3.6
new since WordPress 3.5
YouTube link is showing as plan text
Make sure if you're uploading your video to YouTube you don't disable embedding as this will result in WordPress not being able to do his embed trick.

Federal officials have announced they'll be monitoring a municipal election in Evergreen to ensure voting practices are in compliance with the Voting Rights Act.
Department of Justice officials say observers will be dispatched to monitor polling places in the south Alabama city. They'll be watching and recording activities during the voting period and officials say attorneys from the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division will keep in touch with local elections officials during the vote.
In April, a judge postponed the city's election amid allegations that the city's five council districts are split to dilute the voting power of black residents. The city is about 62 percent black.
