If you click the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) entry in the This connection uses the following items list that is displayed in the Local Area Connection properties, you may notice that the Uninstall button is unavailable (disabled). This behavior occurs because the Transport Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) stack is a core component of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and cannot be removed. In some scenarios, you may want to reinstall TCP/IP to return the TCP/IP stack to its original state. You can use the Netsh.exe utility to reset the TCP/IP stack to the same conciliation that it was when you first installed the operating system. MORE INFORMATION
The Netsh.exe utility (netsh) is a command-line scripting tool that you can use to configure and monitor Windows Server 2003 networking. This tool gives you an interactive network shell interface. You can use the reset command in the Internet Protocol (IP) context of this utility to rewrite the following TCP/IP-related registry keys:
Warning The netsh int ip reset command will reset all IP information, default gateway information, and DNS server information. Before you restart the computer after you run this command, you must configure your TCP/IP settings. Otherwise, you may not be able to connect to the computer remotely. Command syntaxnetsh int ip reset [log_file_name]
To use the netsh command to reset the TCP/IP stack, you must specify a log file name in which the results of the command are recorded. If you enter either of the commands that are described in the "Command Samples" section of this article, the TCP/IP stack on the current computer is reset, and the activities of that action are recorded in the Resetlog.txt file that is specified in the command line. In the first example, the log file is created in the current folder; in the second example, a complete path to the Resetlog.txt log file is specified.Note If an existing log file with the same name is present in the target folder, the new log file information is appended to the end of the existing file. Command samplesThe following examples describe how to use the netsh command to reset the TCP/IP protocol stack.Example 1
Example 2
Example of the log file for NETSH INT IP RESETThe following text is an example of the log file that is generated by netsh if you run the ip reset command. The actual log file may vary depending on the configuration of the computer on which you run the command. Typically, no actions are logged in the file if the TCP/IP registry keys have not been altered from their original configuration.
Warning Programs that access or monitor the Internet, such as antivirus programs, firewall programs, or proxy clients may be negatively affected when you run the netsh winsock reset command. If you have a program that no longer functions correctly after you use this resolution, reinstall the program to restore functionality. REFERENCES

Learn more about what?s going on beneath the surface of your strands during this treatment with Groupon?s examination of keratin treatments.
Keratin is the molecular building block of human beauty?without this fibrous protein, humans wouldn?t have nails hard enough to polish, tooth enamel sturdy enough to withstand weekly brushings, or hair lush enough to style. Within each strand of hair, chains of keratin can be arranged in different molecular patterns, and this variation is what gives each head of hair its unique texture. For those who find their hair's unique texture a pain to deal with every morning, those keratin bonds can be chemically rearranged with popular salon treatments from Brazilian Blowout or Keratin Complex.
Stylists apply a keratin-rich solution that finds its way into each hair?s second layer, where it can chemically reprogram hair from an unruly, cigarette-smoking strand into a well-behaved member of the scalp?s society. The heat of a flat-iron straightens hair after the serum's application so that as the keratin molecules fuse to each strand, they?ll do so in the right position. Methylene glycol or formalin?which release formaldehyde under heat?typically function as the glue bonding the molecules during and after treatment. The result of all this chemistry is a straighter and smoother look that can last for two months or longer, and, although any heat-based treatment can be taxing on hair, its fortifying effects tend to leave hair glossier and more voluminous than other relaxers do. So although frizz disappears, waves or loose curls can continue to cascade across the shoulders.

Last year, Bedford County Public Schools cut out funding for the Early College program. This year's graduating seniors will be the last group to graduate with taxpayer funding.
The program still exists, however. There are a group of high school juniors now attending, with their parents footing the bill, and the program is taking applications for a new group of juniors for next year.
You can hand it to the parents of students from Bedford Primary School: They're doing their homework.
They've come to meetings to challenge a proposal to close the school armed with studies, alternate proposals and even, possibly, a legal loophole. They've used the tried and true — good old footwork to get hundreds of names on petitions opposing the closure—and new technology to research and spread their message through the social media.
For the second year in a row parents and students of a school that could potentially be closed by the Bedford County School Board are letting their voices be heard.
"Didn't you retire?" Dr. Douglas Schuch, Bedford County's superintendent of schools, said with a laugh as he shook Viola Henry's hand at Thaxton Elementary School, Thursday.
Yes, Henry did retire at the end of the last school year, after 34-and-a-half years at Thaxton. Henry, however, continues to oversee the school's N.E.E.D. team in a volunteer capacity.
The Bedford County School Board will take public comments Thursday about the possible consolidation of schools as a result of cuts to next year's budget.
The public hearing will be held at 7 p.m. at the Bedford Science and Technology Center's auditorium.
• Closing Bedford Primary School, moving those students to Bedford Elementary and the sixth graders from that school to Bedford Middle School. Potential savings: $530,000.
• Maintaining the current staffing standards, eliminating 23 positions. Potential savings: $1.17 million.
• Eliminate B-Team sports at the middle schools. Potential savings: $56,000.
Eighth graders won't be moved to Jefferson Forest and Liberty High School next year, but other major changes to save money and balance the school budget appear to be coming.
Among the possibilities gaining momentum from the Bedford County School Board: • Closing Bedford Primary School, moving those students to Bedford Elementary and the sixth graders from that school to Bedford Middle School; • Maintaining the current staffing standards, eliminating 23 positions;
Bedford County students will have new start times for their school day next year.
The Bedford County School Board, on a 5-3 vote at its regular meeting Thursday night, adopted a measure that will reduce school bus costs by $360,000 next year. The plan calls for school starting times to be staggered with elementary schools starting at 7:55 a.m. and the high schools and middle schools starting an hour later. This will allow the school division to use fewer buses to transport students to and from school.
It's all on the table.
That's the comment Bedford County School Board chairwoman Debbie Hoback said of the potential actions the board might have to take to make up for as much as $5.8 million in lost school funding and additional spending mandates from the state and federal government next year.
For eight rounds Rhiannon Cire of Montvale Elementary and Brandi Mitchell of Forest Middle School squared off against one another in last Thursday's Bedford County Spelling Bee.
Seventeen students from the county's middle and elementary schools had started in the contest, but by the seventh round it was down to those final two.

Wife and I are stumped on an off-white subway tile that coordinates with our existing cabinets, Merillat Classic Chiffon. We've gone through a ton of subway tile samples and what we consistently notice is that many of these read pink against our cabinets (I think our cabs have a yellow undertone, but sometimes I see a hint of green...weird). Anyways to help us hone in on what we should be looking at, I'd appreciate your feedback on what undertones you see in the attached pic. Thanks. |

Every monitor is different and on mine I don't see pink or yellow, looks more blue or gray in tone. Would be easier if we were also looking at the cab and tile samples next to each other. Someone posted that Ann Sacks makes subway in a lot of shades of white and cream. Have you looked at those? |

Put a sheet of priinter paper on it and retake the photo. The tones should jump out at you then. |

This impressive pizza has been created to look like a game of Tetris. Tetris is an awesome game that's all about stacking funny shapes and making them fit together. This pizza does the same, but with tasty ingredients.
The creator of this amazing game-inspired pizza dish even made a legend for the ingredients a head of time so that he could map out where everything would go on this eccentric entree. The legend includes delicious ingredients like bacon, red peppers, green peppers, pineapple, ham and spinach.
This well mapped-out pizza looks convincingly like a game of Tetris. It even has a scoreboard baked in off to the side. Pizzas really don't get much cooler than this. This tasty creation mixes food with play, resulting in an awesome dinner.

Bank Sets $500 Million Loan Fund For Miss. Firms
Many businesses, scared of running up debt as sales fell, stopped borrowing during the economic downturn. The same NFIB survey suggests that loan demand hasn't rebounded, even as short-term interest rates have fallen. About 30 percent of survey respondents are borrowing regularly, down from about 35 percent at the beginning of the recession.
Cash has flooded into banks even as the amount of money on loan has fallen. Among Mississippi commercial banks, the ratio of loans to deposits fell to 75.5 percent at Dec. 31, the lowest level in more than a decade, according to FDIC figures. The ratio of loans to deposits is even lower at BancorpSouth, with its $8.5 billion in loans equal to only 63 percent of deposits. At the end of 2007, as the real estate boom imploded, BancorpSouth had $9 billion in loans outstanding, equal to 90 percent of deposits.
BancorpSouth says it will work with the Mississippi Development Authority and the Mississippi Business Finance Corp., as well as with the U.S. Small Business Administration. The SBA ranked Regions as No. 10 and BancorpSouth as No. 11 among large banks nationwide making small business loans under $1 million in 2010-2011, the most recent reported year. BancorpSouth's small lending was heavily concentrated in loans between $100,000 and $1 million.
With bad commercial real-estate loans leaving a sour taste, banks have fought heavily to lend to businesses for other purposes, such as equipment leases.
"I think this is an attempt by BancorpSouth to compete for any good Mississippi loan we can uncover," Darnell said. ___ Follow Jeff Amy at http://twitter.com/jeffamyCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

The truth is that scores of highflying ETFs get ignored by investors. Many, like the China real-estate ETF, are ignored because they're in a narrow niche. Another reason: Investors get squeamish when they see low asset levels. Financial advisors often want to see other people's money in a fund—say $50 million or $100 million—before diving in. "You don't want to go into a dark theater that doesn't have any exits," as Dryden Pence of Pence Wealth Management puts it in this week's special ETF Roundtable. The idea is to avoid funds that could shut down, or pose problems if one needs to sell the position quickly.
The trouble is, asset levels aren't always the best proxy for liquidity. Unlike a stock, an ETF can still have strong liquidity even if its trading volume is low or its assets are tiny. That's because the underlying stocks' or bonds' liquidity is usually the best way to measure an ETF's real ease of trading. Barron's asked market-making firm Knight Capital to rate the liquidity of 30 small ETFs whose 2012 returns are about double those of the S&P 500 as of early November. If you judge ETF tradability by the way its components trade, as Knight does, you'll find lots of low-asset ETFs with more-than-expected liquidity. "I wouldn't shy away from ETFs that have low volume or low assets. You just have to be smart about how you trade it," says Eric Lichtenstein, managing director of Knight's ETF trading desk.

These ETFs may or may not be good bets heading into 2013, especially amid Washington's "fiscal cliff" debate. Next year will probably have its own crop of asset-starved outperformers.
It can be rockier going in foreign-stock ETFs. Five of the six ETFs with relatively low Knight liquidity scores are built to track foreign markets. One of them is the Market Vectors Egypt egpt 2.0149496262593436% Market Vectors Egypt Index ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 62.78 1.24 2.0149496262593436% /Date(1422655198527-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 9767 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 4.393118827652119% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (EGPT). This fund was forced to stop creating new ETF shares for a period in early 2011, when Egypt's stock market closed during the "Arab Spring." ETFs, for all their virtues, can't immunize investors from geopolitics.
Using limit orders, which specify a willingness to buy at only certain prices, are an indispensable tactic. Vanguard ETF strategist Joel Dickson recommends "pegging" your ETF order a certain distance from the market's bid or ask price. It helps a willing buyer move with the market, but only up to a point. "It protects you from the 'flash-crash' scenario," Dickson says.

New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/03/2014 -- It is no secret that entertainers and talk show hosts use this trick openly while on stage. Yet it is the most well kept secret ever since it was invented - until today. Through today's Press Release, Mehow proudly unveils his Three Second Sexual Attraction secret to getting guys to get any girl they desire want to have sex with them!
It is well known that women who dump guys for other guys seldom provide a reason for leaving. And that's the way it is. So unless guys have a way to stay engaged, sound witty and look attractive to girls, it is likely they will be dumped and never know why. If girls can't relate emotionally to a guy, they will likely dump him sooner rather than later!
And in making today's announcement, Mehow shares the one secret that women always respond to - Emotional Spikes. The secret 3 Second technique is based on psychological studies about women, and the process called "Serendipity Engineering", that defines how they react to various situations.
- It doesn't matter how good-looking a guy is!
- It makes no difference whether a guy dresses up cool and flashy!
- Regardless of how rich or how famous someone is...
If a girl likes a guy "emotionally", he makes them FEEL wanted. And that's the secret to getting women to give in and get intimate with a guy.
The "Magic formula" that's being shared through today's announcement has been well tested and proven to work. Like any successful formula, Three Second Sexual Attraction secret is something that can be successfully repeated - EVERYTIME - so guys can get attractive, hot women to sleep with them. Men all over the world are using this formula successfully, and have testified to its efficacy.
Psychologists have found that many guys struggle with sexual situations when it comes to women they desperately crave. They get tongue tied. They become awkward. They get nervous. They ultimately give up. Psychologists have also revealed that a woman's DNA is hardwired to react to certain situations that trigger a subconscious urge for sexual stimulus. When they are put into those situations, women are absolutely powerless to resist a guy's sexual advance.
But knowing how to approach a girl, and exactly what to say and do - step by step - to create that stimulus and make her sexually attracted to a guy is something that's not readily taught. Every man wants to know the secret, but there are few credible sources that will offer the secret for guys desperate for sex. And today's Press Release is all about sharing that secret with any guy that wants to take advantage of it.

About The Author: Mehow
Mehow is the creator of the Three Second Sexual Attraction - a revolutionary program that teaches guys how they can get any woman of their dreams to consent to having sex with them. He has been teaching his "Magic Formula" to men all over the world through private coaching sessions and live workshops. He is also the host of a popular internet show "The Girl's Game", boasting over 10 million viewers.
While growing up, he was well below the "average" teenager when it came to a love life - freely admitting that he "...dated a new woman once every 2 years!". And sadly for him, the only women he got to be with were those that just happened to like him. It was only after his wife cheated on him and dumped him that it dawned on Mehow that something was definitely wrong!
Following a 10 year period of intense research and discovery, Mehow perfected the Holy Grail that women are addicted to - Emotional Spikes. And that's what's behind Mehow creation of Three Second Sexual Attraction - the secret to unlocking every mans sexual fantasy!

I can agree to a certain degree. It is not quite fair to compare the 70s and 80s political environment to the post 97' eras.
HK and the world was simpler then. There wasn't much outside influrence to affect the HKers thinkings and demands. HKers would just accept what was allowed and given.
Post 97' is a lot more complicated. There has been lack of trust of Beijing from HKers. Beijing has the domestic stability to consider. And let's face it, there are many special interest groups and foreign countries who want HK to be destabilized.
But one thing we should agree is that Beijing wants HongKong to prosper as an example to Taiwan, thus the helping policies every time HK is in some type of problem.
you hit the nail on the head
one cannot satisfy everyone
in addition: it is not what you do, but what other know about what you do ...
vide who controls press
I'm sure message in mainland China differs a bit from one spread by TE ...
There are always discontents and grievances in all the places. Some can be and some can not be cured. The yearly July 1 parade was initiated from the very first 7.1 when the UK government handed over HK to China ( With tears of cause). At that time if there were grievances of economic reason, CCP should not be the cause. The only sin they had committed by then was their die hard demand to take back HK . So we remember that the first 7.1 demonstration was focused at CCP. The only clue to explain the demonstrators's move was opposition to the action to take back HK. And that has been the keynote to organize the anually parade, as could be seen from the sight that a few British national standard were holding high in the procession of the parade.
For such grievance, it is surely uncurable. Firstly, the sufferers have to ask British decision makers why they returned HK to CCP. Indeed there were some guys who challenged the British decision before the first 7.1. Secondly, China will never allow such discontent be heard, for Deng xiaoping had anwsered this kind of protest definitely, and it has been recorded in the Joint Declaration. It is too late to raise this question.
The deep rooted conflicts , as CCP understands, is this mission impossible. People who do not trust CCP can always find faults to attack CCP, the same is true for CCP to doubt every discontent from those people. It is no way for CCP to hear and change according to those grieviance raised.
Here, to build trust in HK politics is not only a delicate diplomacy. It is a must and arduous task for both sides.
Thank you for your lecturing. I don't represent any Hongkonger. You don't represent any mainlander?
You are a very good sickkicks to any boss. Or you think yourself a very good boss?
What I came across is a few mainlander bosses making bogus documents to deceive the public as professional people. Ethically, they believe (1) I am everyone's boss bringing in cash to save the company. Everyone must be grateful to me, not badmouthing me! (their sickkicks do their best to turn against their political dissenting persons; (2) the employees believe that these boses are bad bosess; their professional status is fake. They should step down.
The employer boss believes that (1) and (2) should set off. Everyone must shut up and respect him. The employees believe that the boss should step down.

Here is what Premier Wen said about "universal value" in the CNN interview:
Wen Jiabao said: "The people's wishes for, and needs for, democracy and freedom are irresistible."
So shouldn't Premier Wen be "punished" like Liu Xiaobo was? No wonder you didn't make any comment on Bo Xilai. Even though Bo colluded with the descendant of drug dealer to smuggle RMB 7 billion illegal money out of China, he didn't sell universal value to the Chinese people.
So Bo Xilai must be not as bad as Liu Xiaobo.
Bismarck, what about "shareholder democracy"? You really know what it is? Or just picked up the phase from Google and think it's something supporting your argument? Unfortunately, it is not helping. "Shareholder democracy" is a relative new topic about the power struggle between the company management and the shareholders. Shareholder democracy is being discussed sometimes but there is no clear conclusion if it will really do the companies any good. It implies that shareholder democracy is something that some people want to enhance in some corporation against the traditional decision-making power by the management. But these days more people are against such shareholder democracy because it reduces the management efficiency and lead to more power struggle to the corporation. Even if some shareholders want to push for shareholder democracy, it's not really easy to get it because it has to modify the corporation's By-Law first. Okay, now you tell me what about "shareholder democracy". I am sure you have some new insight that our earth people may not know yet.
Also, I don't know. I really do not know what you are talking about the lawsuits. I guess you just try to expand the topics. And, being a king in a company, does not mean you do not need to be legal. There is By-Law in a company that even the king needs to follow. There is also business law that the business entity needs to follow. King can only dictate within his power zone. King is not God.
It's fine to search Google. But do not rely on Google as your primary knowledge source. Stay in school. It will do you good.
Some of you should really look at how the great democratic states of America handles the "reporter" harassing their VIP. In this case, the same VIP, Mr. Hu from PRC. Location is the White House, I believe. One of the "reporters" was taken away by the secret service agents after yelling some questions. We may not totally like how the HK police handed the incident. But it definitely is not a rare happening even in the most democratic nations like USA and Germany.
The Pearl River Bridge may be another White Elephant like the High Speed Railroad that is going to connect with China's system.
Is the Pearl River Bridge necessary? Does Hong Kong really need to connect with a casino city by bridge that is already accessible by jetfoil in 50 minutes? Does Hong Kong really need to connect by bridge with the west side of the Pearl River Delta which is a lesser industrial region?
And can the road system in Hong Kong accommodate that much more additional traffic?
It is not a bad idea for Beijing to dispatch a guy to run Hong Kong.
Zhu Rongji may be a good choice.
But the problem is that in Communist jargon, their cadres have a preference to "educate" the masses by "thought". For example, the family planning officials tried to "educate" the 7-month pregnant woman by "thought" to abort the fetus.
However, the problem is that in Hong Kong, they are more vulnerable to be "educated" by the other's "thoughts". That is why you see the more immigrants coming from Mainland to Hong Kong, the more anti-CCP the people turn out in Hong Kong (I guess they have all been "educated" by the "thoughts" in HK).
That is why the PLA in HK are ordered to stay in the barracks on their days off so that they will not be "educated" by the "thoughts" of others in HK.
goodness. What flattery speech again above.
Not everything is solved by majority rule. Not everything is decided by votes.
At least, using chopsticks or forks are a matter of individual choice. It's not a matter of democracy to decide chopsticks or forks.
Politics is ugly.
It all comes down to living standards. If HKers are willing to go back to the 60's standards where people lived in shacks on hills where there was even running water and electricity supplies, sure we can survive. But if raising 20 cents on the bus ride will cause a protest on the streets, good luck with charging double the water costs, or losing the tourism/restaurant industry where hundreds of thousands working classes are employed.
Building reserviors are fine, just that we have to pray for rainfalls.
You mentioned Singapore. They also import water from Malaysia. Their government makes all the decisions for the people. Can the HK government do that without riots on the streets?
@ ewakorn and Canabana
It is not realistic to be independent!! Short-sighted government (British and HK) did not do a good job to sustain HK's grow. No creative industry can survive in this expensive land. Not even our booming movie industry can last long in HK. Every public facility are related to real estate, to a few rich family. The new government should build more public house for the general poor HKer and lower the entrance to apply a apartment. It is crazy for a couple who earned more than 7,000HK is not qualified to apply. And all public houses should provide free wireless internet connection. This is basic infrastructure nowaday.
Sooner or later HK has to find its water on its own.
Currently almost every city/town in the Pearl River Delta is facing water shortage and water is rationed during drought times. Macau is constantly facing the phenomenon that seawater always enters the edible water supply system.
Hong Kong sooner or later has to rebalance its water supply by relying more from local sources and conservation. It can never expect Mainland to supply water forever given its own rapid urbanization.
And maybe you don't know. Hong Kong has one of the lowest water bills in the world. When water rate is gradually adjusted upward, it will help conserve water in the long run.
Hong Kong in the '50s and early '60s had none of the industries you mentioned but millions of refugees. However, it still survived.
Consulting is always welcome, but to do it is another thing. HK is not Saudi Arabia, we need to import oil to purify water from seawater. Water, electricity and food shortage can bring down any government, protest every day.
BTW it is not just water, it involve relationship/business with Canton and CHina. Canton water is no good for sure, but irreplacable.
Many people and nations want to make trouble to China, if HK become a problem to China it is their success. We have to be careful.
I am not saying independence immediately tomorrow.
Do you know how much money we spent simply buying dirty water from China, they earned so much from us buy selling those resources. We can build our own facility to supply water for ourself, i guess our govt is planning to so recently?. It appeared that they need our money more than we need their resource.
Come on, it is an open discussion, why people are so afraid of the word independence? Why people only think of the problems we may encounter than the solutions?
Be relax mate.
@ livefromCA2
China don't have to shut off the water but just raise the price is enough!!
@ ewakorn
Yes, HK was sugar daddy to mainland before and now mainland China is sugar daddy to HK!! So too much sugar is not healthy, we both need diets.
"At the end of the day, they know a rich and thriving HK (which can only be achieved when HK is free and abides by the rule of law) is good for themselves."
We can only hope that they know that. The true test for that measure is 2017, and whether a free and untampered-with Chief Executive election is held.
What fact are you talking about???
Beijing had nobody to blame but itself that it could not find well-talented politician to run Hong Kong.
In fact, it had plenty time -- 13 years -- since the Sino-British Joint Declaration signed in 1984 to find a suitable candidate to run Hong Kong.
The principal problem is not that HK don't have talents -- but that the CE job is far from alluring.
When London sent its governors to HK, the governor had a free hand in HK other than looking after the interests of the British conglomerate.
The problem is that the CE in HK has to (1) insure the interest of Beijing which in many occasions come into open conflict with the HK public; (2) insure the interest of China Liasion Office and the "muddy commies" whose way of thinking and working is even more leftist than CCP; (3) the HK public (which is in the lowest priority).

Japanese Name: Yuuichi Nakagami
French Name: Édouard Le Blanc
Alias: Maestro, Maestro Le Blanc
Nationality: French and Japanese decent
Languages spoken: French, English and Japanese
Sex: Male
Age: 26
Height: 6 ft 1
In the island of Japan, a theoretical neurologist and psychologist by the name of Akito Nakagami has begun to explore ways to bridge the expression of certain genes within cellular levels with the human limbic system. His theory states that with enough genetic manipulation of a human being's DNA, and a heightened state of brain activity, a human being would be able to channel their emotions into creating extensions of their own body to embody the current emotion that the person is feeling. Dr. Nakagami published his theory in a detailed scientific journal titled: The Genomic Engineering of The Homo Sapiens' DNA in Response to Limbic Brain Activity.
Although his theory was well thought out, and he explained his rationale with extensive detail; the scientific community criticized the theory heavily since it has been solely based on theory, and has not undergone any trials in the real world. Also, since Nakagami's theory is based on humans, he would not be able to conduct any experimentation since human experimentations is a banned practice.
Depressed with the downfall of his theory, Nakagami decided to withdraw from his mind-blowing idea and focus on simpler scientific methods. Overtime, he coincidentally meets a young French musician named Claire Le Blanc, and they eventually wed. A couple of years after their marriage, the two are blessed with a young son who they name Yuuichi.
Being the son of a talented musician, Yuuichi has been introduced to music ever since he was an infant. His mother enrolled him in piano lessons and the child displayed phenomenal talent. Being a neurologist, Akito was well aware of how music had a great effect on the human brain, and musicians had more synapses occurring between neurons than the average human. Since he has discarded his studies a long time ago, Akito was now itching to resume proving his theory, using his own son as his guinea pig.
Akito spent 3 years experimenting on his son, and brainwashed him at the end of every session so Yuuichi would not remember what his father was doing. Akito`s experimentations included genetically modifying his son`s cells, engineering them so that they would have certain types of responses to the emotions that his brain undergoes. Unfortunately, Akito`s experiments backfired, and he unintentionally prompted his son`s cells to demonstrate cancerous traits. Claire eventually finds out about her husband`s horrendous experiments. She then takes on full custody over her son and leaves for France. Authorities then take in Akito, and jail him for his illegal crimes.
Taking his mother`s last name and a new French name, Yuuichi has become a well-known French pianist, referred to as a young piano prodigy by the name of Édouard Le Blanc. Édouard had no memories of the experiments that he`d undergone with his father, however he was aware that there was something wrong with his own body. His mother has taken him to various doctors all over Europe, and they realized that the boy had a mysterious type of cancer that seemed to only trigger under certain types of conditions; however, they did not have any other ways of explaining it or treating it. Édouard`s cancer didn`t pose any threat to his well-being like the other types of cancers, so the boy did not mind what the doctors said.
Years pass, and Édouard has become a world-wide known musician; his health was still in good shape despite the presence of his mysterious cancer cells. One day, Édouard recieves a letter stating that his biological father has passed away, and his will states that Édouard is the only person that will inherit his possessions. Returning back to Japan, Édouard goes through all of the required paperwork of transferring his late father`s possessions into his own estate. While going through his father`s study, Édouard is surprised to see that his father had a detailed day-to-day journal of all the conducted experimentation that he`d done on him. Within the journal, Akito outlined what the cancerous cells truly were - they were the genetically modified cells that had a direct link to Yuuichi`s limbic system, which is the layer of the brain in charge of human emotion. Akito described how these genetically modified cells are capable of taking form of the heightened emotion that Yuuichi feels. Intrigued by this unusually strange and fantastical science, Yuuichi begins to follow the steps left by his father in order to bring the theory out of paper and into practice.
Down the Path of Darkness
(will be up soon)
Despite being both Japanese and French, Yuuichi displays more of his Northern European phenotypes rather than his Japanese inheritance. Yuuichi has shoulder-long blonde hair, and pale greyish-blue eyes. He has a tall built, and moderately developed muscles. Yuuichi is often seen dressed in a red shirt topped with a long black leather trench coat, and black leather pants.
Yuuichi is a calm, composed and charismatic man, and comes across as a collected and classy gentleman. However, this outer facade conceals Yuuichi's true nature. Yuuichi is actually a conceited person, since he is well aware of his great talents both in music and science; and now with his knowledge that he is able to create weapons with the use of his own cells, it has given him more self-confidence and pride. Yuuichi is a cocky character, who knows that he's a smart and talented human and doesn't need people's approval or input to tell him that.
Yuuichi is able to display a wide variety of emotions, and he trains himself to do so. That is because his Emotion-Cancer Cell Manipulation power depends solely on emotion.
Since he is a rich man, Yuuichi likes to over-exaggerate his entrances and appearances with lights and other enhancing mediums. He also has a way with words, and tends to go on with dramatic soliloquies whenever he gets the chance to.
Powers and Abilities
Emotion-Cancer Cell Manipulation:
After inheriting his father's studies and research facilities, Yuuichi is on his way to mastering his father's theory of manipulating cells based on the state of emotion his limbic system is in. The injected genetically modified cancer cells in his body multiply and take the form of a weapon attached to his body. Although an effective weapon, any damage done to the weapon ultimately affects Yuuichi as well since it is an extension of his own body. If the weapon is destroyed by his opponent, he will not be able to retrieve it again, and will have to re-inject himself with these cancer cells. Also, these weapons cannot withhold an entire fight, which is why Yuuichi also relies on his own martial arts for defeating an opponent.
Fear/intimidation: When under the emotion of fear and intimidation, the cancer cells within Yuuichi form a sheild which replaces his right arm. This shield manages to cover Yuuichi's vital body parts, mainly his head and his upper body.
Anger/Aggressiveness: When Yuuichi's sympathetic nervous system is activated (i.e. pupils dilate, sweat glands open, etc), his cancer cells stream through his blood and accumulates into his left hand, and takes the shape of a long red sword, replacing his hand.
Music: Having been a musician all his life, Yuuichi is a phenomenal composer, which is what earned his the alias `Maestro Le Blanc". After studying his father's notes on human emotions, the Maestro is looking for methods to tie in his music in manipulating and swaying human emotions in ways that would be favourable to him. (NB: This does not hypnotize, it just sways people, ultimately it is up to the character under this influence to decide what to do).
Martial Arts: Although being a musician, after recieving the power of Emotion-Cancer Cell Manipulation, Yuuichi has dedicated himself to learn martial arts in order to enhance his physical agility, and to make up for his power's weak points. His keen senses which are a result of his music, allow him with quick response times and coordination - which aids him with his martial arts.
Phew! Done for now :D Ok, so this is a villain idea that I got and finally brought him out of my head. His ability is a bit of a spin-off of Shu's "The King's Power" in the Guilty Crown series. I tried to balance out his ability with weak points, but if you guys think he's overpowered just let me know and I'll get rid of some stuff.
I haven't made him at his full-potential yet, but I'm planning to develop him more as I RP with him.
Oh and this is Usachanman btw, if you guys dont know XD

The NTSB has just issued an update on the investigation of the Colgan Air Q400 loss at Buffalo. Full text below. Several interesting hints at where this is going. Basically it is looking rather more as if this investigation will be looking hard at some of the more nuanced factors like training, scheduling, as well as the specifics of how the crash finally occurred – important though that obviously is.
Here's my take on some key pointers:
- icing looking less pertinent
- nothing wrong with the aircraft
- Colgan training operation of interest
- Colgan (and perhaps industry) scheduling practices of interest
- experience levels of interest (Capt 3,379hr total with 109 on type, F/O 2,220 total with 772 on type)
- sterile cockpit procedures may be pertinent
- questions about Buffalo ILS system not looking relevant
- previously unrevealed recent Colgan Q400 stick-shaker incident at Burlington, Vt being looked at
Feel free to comment if you disagree (or agree) with me after you've read the document below.
In its continuing investigation into the crash of Colgan Air flight 3407 in Clarence Center, New York, the National Transportation Safety Board has released the following factual information.
On February 12, 2009, about 10:17 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST), a Colgan Air Inc., Bombardier Dash 8-Q400, N200WQ, d.b.a. Continental Connection flight 3407, crashed during an instrument approach to runway 23 at the Buffalo-Niagara International Airport (BUF), Buffalo, New York. The crash site was approximately 5 nautical miles northeast of the airport in Clarence Center, New York, and mostly confined to one residential house. The 4 crew members and 45 passengers were fatally injured and the airplane was destroyed by impact forces and post crash fire. There was one ground fatality. Night visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The flight was a Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 121 scheduled passenger flight from Liberty International Airport (EWR), Newark, New Jersey to Buffalo.
The NTSB has voted to conduct a public hearing on this accident. The hearing, which will be held May 12 – 14, 2009, at the NTSB's Board Room and Conference Center in Washington, D.C., will cover a wide range of safety issues
including: icing effect on the airplane's performance, cold weather operations, sterile cockpit rules, crew experience, fatigue management, and stall recovery training. The public hearing is part of the Safety Board's efforts to develop all appropriate facts for the investigation.
"The tragedy of flight 3407 is the deadliest transportation accident in the United States in more than 7 years," Acting Chairman Mark V. Rosenker, who will chair the hearing, said.
"The circumstances of the crash have raised several issues that go well beyond the widely discussed matter of airframe icing, and we will explore these issues in our investigative fact-finding hearing."
The hearing will be held "en banc," meaning that all Members of the NTSB will sit on the Board of Inquiry. Parties that will participate in the hearing will be announced at a later time.
The aircraft wreckage has been moved from the accident site to a secure location for follow-on inspections as may be needed.
A preliminary examination of the airplane systems has revealed no indication of pre-impact system failures or anomalies. Investigators will perform additional examinations on the dual distribution valves installed in the airplane's de-ice system. The de-ice system removes ice accumulation from the leading edges of the wings, horizontal tail, and vertical tail through the use of pneumatic boots.
The dual distribution valves, which transfer air between the main bleed air distribution ducts and the pneumatic boots, were removed from the airplane for the examination.
The airplane maintenance records have been reviewed and no significant findings have been identified at this time.
The ATC group has completed a review of recordings of controller communications with the flight crew during the accident flight and conducted interviews with air traffic controllers on duty at the time of the accident. The group has no further work planned at this time.
Further review of the weather conditions on the night of the accident revealed the presence of variable periods of snow and light to moderate icing during the accident airplane's approach to the Buffalo airport.
Examination of the FDR data and preliminary evaluation of airplane performance models shows that some ice accumulation was likely present on the airplane prior to the initial upset event, but that the airplane continued to respond as expected to flight control inputs throughout the accident flight. The FDR data also shows that the stall warning and protection system, which includes the stick shaker and stick pusher, activated at an airspeed and angle-of-attack (AOA) consistent with that expected for normal operations when the de-ice protection system is active. The airplane's stick shaker will normally activate several knots above the actual airplane stall speed in order to provide the flight crew with a sufficient safety margin and time to initiate stall recovery procedures. As a result of ice accumulation on the airframe, an airplane's stall airspeed increases. To account for this potential increase in stall speed in icing conditions, the Dash 8-Q400′s stall warning system activates at a higher airspeed than normal when the de-ice system is active in-flight to provide the flight crew with adequate stall warning if ice accumulation is present.
Preliminary airplane performance modeling and simulation efforts indicate that icing had a minimal impact on the stall speed of the airplane. The FDR data indicates that the stick shaker activated at 130 knots, which is consistent with the de-ice system being engaged. FDR data further indicate that when the stick shaker activated, there was a 25-pound pull force on the control column, followed by an up elevator deflection and increase in pitch, angle of attack, and Gs. The data indicate a likely separation of the airflow over the wing and ensuing roll two seconds after the stick shaker activated while the aircraft was slowing through 125 knots and while at a flight load of 1.42 Gs.
The predicted stall speed at a load factor of 1 G would be about 105 knots. Airplane performance work is continuing.
Since returning from on-scene, the Operations & Human Performance group has conducted additional interviews with flight crew members who had recently flown with and/or provided instruction to the accident crew, as well as personnel at Colgan Air responsible for providing training of flight crews and overseeing the management and safety operations at the airline. The group also conducted interviews with FAA personnel responsible for oversight of the Colgan certificate, which included the Principal Operations Inspector (POI) and aircrew program manager for the Dash 8 Q-400. The team has also continued its review of documentation, manuals, and other guidance pertaining to the operation of the Dash 8 Q-400 and training materials provided to the Colgan Air flight crews.
The Operations & Human Performance group continues to investigate and review documentation associated with the flight crew's flight training history and professional development during their employment at Colgan as well as prior to joining the company.
Post-accident toxicological testing of the flight crew was performed by the FAA Civil Aerospace Medical Institute
(CAMI) toxicology lab. Specimens taken from the first officer were negative for alcohol, illicit substances, and a wide range of prescription and over the counter medications.
Specimens taken from the captain were negative for alcohol and illicit substances, and positive for diltiazem, a prescription blood pressure medication that had been reported to and approved for his use by the Federal Aviation Administration.
The Safety Board is also examining several other areas potentially related to the accident, including:
? The circumstances of a recent event involving a Dash
8-Q400, operated by Colgan Air, in which the airplane's stick shaker activated during approach to the Burlington International Airport (BTV) in Burlington, Vermont. A preliminary review of the FDR data from that flight shows the momentary onset of the stick shaker during the approach phase of flight. The airplane subsequently landed without incident. NTSB investigators have conducted interviews with the pilots and check airman on board this flight and will continue to investigate the incident.
? Reports of airplane deviations resulting from
distortion of the instrument landing system (ILS) signal for runway 23 at BUF. There is an existing Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) related to this distortion condition. To date, investigation into these reports has not revealed any connection to the accident flight.
