Lakeside Recovery Baseball Club earns third in American Legion World Series
August 28, 2012
The Lakeside Recovery Baseball Club only lost two games in the American Legion World Series in Shelby, N.C., both to the same pitcher. Genetically, that is.
Brooklawn's twin phenoms Casey and Cody Brown held Lakeside in check in the two games, limiting the Bellevue team to two runs in their first meeting Aug. 19, and only three runs in the Aug. 21 semifinal game. Both games were one-run affairs.
"We ran into a tough left-hander, and they got the big hit when they needed it with two outs," Lakeside head coach Rob Reese said. "We got our chances in the eighth inning and we only got one out of it. There's not much room for error when you get to that level. You have to take advantage of your opportunities and we had a couple shots, but we just didn't get it that day."

How The Computer WorksBy drawing on one of nature's central principles --- levels of organization --- this website poses an answer to that question. The physical universe spans 46 known steps of dimension, from the smallest quark (10-18 meter) to the most distant quasar (1027 meters). By working with models and levels of abstraction that correspond naturally to objects of various sizes, scientists have learned to approach the enormous complexity and beauty of the universe one step at a time. The computer --- most often a desktop box embedded in the worldwide network --- spans 19 steps of time, from the logic gates in the microchip (10-12 second) to months-long Internet-wide business processes (106 seconds). Between these two extremes of time lie 16 levels of abstraction --- not so imposing as the universe, but daunting still.
We offer here a tour of the six highest levels, from the Internet down to the operation of concurrent computing processes. Each level deals with issues that are close to the experience of most users of computers, issues that come up when human processes of communication and coordination are automated, issues that people seem to solve readily but are devilishly hard to get machines to solve correctly. Our approach here is to examine these issues and show the Great Ideas of computing science and engineering that have been developed to deal with them. By proceeding from your experience with computing, we can peel away the layers of complexity one at a time and help you to understand the great ideas that make the computer work. Although we don't do it here, we could continue the process of peeling away layers until we reach the innermost core of the computer, the microchip. This process --- examining the layers from the outside in --- is the exact opposite of the usual engineering approach of building up from the basic components until finally the user domains of application are attained. Much of what is in these computer levels has been there for the past five decades, and much will survive the next five. Like the universe, these are durable levels. |
Level | Issues | Great Ideas |
Internet | How to send a message to someone? How to send a book or document? How to find the address of a person or object? How to guarantee delivery when network connections are unreliable? How to deliver mail or objects to addresses over unpredictable routes? |
User Interface | How do I tell the computer what to do? How does the computer translate my command into action? How does the computer let me manipulate facsimiles of objects? |
Information Security | How to prevent unwanted people from accessing my files? How to prevent sensitive information from flowing out of my system? How to prevent someone from sabotaging my system? My information? How to converse in secret? How to sign an electronic document? |
Virtual Machines | How does the computer set a command program into execution? How can a computer be divided into smaller identical copies of the original computer? How can programs like Java applets be universally portable? |
Virtual Memories | How does the computer incorporate many storage media into a single memory system? How to organize memory so that I don't have to reprogram anything if I add or remove storage devices? How to keep track of objects so they can be addressed at high speed regardless of location? How to speed up a computation when memory is too small to hold everything? |
Concurrent Processes | How to prevent two processes from entering a race that makes their combined result unpredictable? How to decide reliably which of two events has occurred first when only one event can be processed at a time? How to ensure that sharable memory objects are used by just one process at a time? How to prevent a group of processes from being halted by a deadlock? How to simulate many processes with a computer having only one computing engine? |

The chief executive officer of failed insurance conglomerate AIG acknowledged Wednesday that the company's multimillion-dollar bonuses were "distasteful" to many and had provoked a firestorm of wrath.
"I share that anger," Edward Liddy, chairman and CEO of the American International Group Inc., said in testimony prepared for Congress.
Lawmakers from both parties expressed fury over the company's behavior. For the American public, AIG now stands for "arrogance, incompetence and greed," said Rep. Paul Hodes, D-N.H.
Liddy, in his written remarks, said, "Mistakes were made at AIG on a scale few could have every imagined possible."
But, he also said that the roughly $165 million in bonuses paid out over the weekend should be honored as a legal commitment of the United States government, which now owns 80 percent of the battered insurer.
"When you owe someone money, you pay that money back," Liddy maintained. "We at AIG want to believe that we are all in this together," said the man named six months ago to take over the company as part of the government rescue. Some $170 billion in tax money has now been pledged to AIG.
Meanwhile, the agency that oversees AIG said that, while its criticism of the company's practices had sharpened over the past five years, it failed to recognize the extent of risk posed by the exotic financial instruments the insurance company offered, many of them tied to a housing market that had long been rising.
Scott Polakoff, acting director of the Office of Thrift Supervision, said regulators failed to accurately predict what would happen to AIG's so-called credit default swaps -- a form of insurance -- if housing values collapsed, as they have. "There are a lot of people walking around who failed to understand how bad the real estate market had gotten," he said.
Liddy's stance that the bonuses should be honored, no matter how distasteful, drew sharp comments from both parties.
It is "time for us to assert our ownership rights," said Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., chairman of the full Financial Services committee. Frank said Congress will be asking for the names of the bonus recipients -- and if AIG declines to provide it, he will convene the committee to subpoena for the names. "We do intend to use our power to get the names," he said.
Rep. Scott Garrett of New Jersey, the senior Republican on the subcommittee, complained that the administration still has no exit strategy for disentangling itself from the insurance giant.
"Part of me wants to say to some of the loudest critics, 'What did you expect and why weren't you asking more questions before?' I would argue that the real outrage now is the $170 billion of taxpayer moneys that's been pumped into this company and to what effect," he said.
Rep. Gary Ackerman, D-N.Y., cited a "tidal wave of rage" throughout America right now.
AIG is under fire for $220 million in retention bonuses paid to employees in its troubled financial products division. The most recent payment of $165 million began to be paid last Friday and caused a furor.
The retention payments -- ranging from $1,000 to nearly $6.5 million -- were put together in early 2008, long before then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson asked Liddy to take over the company. Liddy himself is not getting a bonus and is only drawing $1 a year in salary.
Liddy also said in his prepared testimony that AIG grew into an internal hedge fund that became overexposed to market risks. AIG is the largest recipient of federal government emergency assistance.
"No one knows better than I that AIG has been the recipient of generous amounts of governmental financial aid. We have been the beneficiary of the American people's forbearance and patience," he said. But he also said that "we have to continue managing our business as a business -- taking account of the cold realities of competition for customers, for revenues and for employees."
The clamor over compensation overshadowed AIG's weekend disclosure that it used more than $90 billion in federal aid to pay out to foreign and domestic banks, including some that had multibillion-dollar U.S. government bailouts of their own. AIG is the single largest recipient of government assistance -- a company whose financial transactions were so intricate and intertwined that it was considered simply too big to fail.
Orice Williams, director of financial markets and community investment at the Government Accountability Office, the government's top watchdog agency, told the panel that the government's intervention helped AIG avoid failure, but that the company is still struggling to pay back the money.
Market and other conditions have prevented the insurer from making significant asset sales, she testified. She said most restructuring efforts are still under way.
Liddy said the company's new management team found its overall structure "too complex, too unwieldy and too opaque for its component businesses to be well managed as one company."
He said the new managers have "addressed our liquidity crisis and stabilized the company's cash position" and is winding down the financial products side of the business.
The White House and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, both of whom have condemned the bonus payments, have been pounded by questions about why they did not know about the bonus payments sooner.
The White House for the first time on Tuesday night said Geithner learned of the impending bonus payments a week ago Tuesday; he told the White House about them last Thursday, and senior aides informed President Barack Obama later that day.
Geithner said on Tuesday he was working with the Justice Department to find ways to recover some of the payments. He cited a provision in the recent economic stimulus law that gave him authority to review compensation to the most highly paid employees of companies that already have received federal assistance.
Congress and the Obama administration on Tuesday appeared to race each other to find ways to strip bonus recipients of their bonus money.
The Democratic chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, Max Baucus of Montana, and the panel's top Republican, Charles Grassley of Iowa, immediately proposed legislation that would require companies and individuals to pay a 35 percent tax on all retention awards and on all other bonuses over $50,000. Others suggested even higher tax rates.
"If you don't return it on your own, we will do it for you," Sen. Charles Schumer.

Monday Musings: Marathons and Heart Damage
Posted By Mark Sisson On November 1, 2010 @ 11:27 am In Fitness | 79 Comments
This post is the first in what may become a new series here on MDA. Most of my articles are full-length feature articles. While I love and will continue to do them I think there's room for a post each week that's a little less formal; something shorter than my usual fare that's published each Monday (along with the WOW [7]) that allows me to spout off on any number of things on my mind. I'll likely be reviewing the latest medical research and ranting on hot topics in the news. What do you think? Would you like a hodgepodge collection of my thoughts on the world of health and fitness? I hope so, because I've got a lot to say! Let me know what you think in the comment board. And now… the inaugural Monday Musing…
Marathon running is supposed to be good for you, which is why so many people (intend to) do it. The overweight and the untrained often use the successful completion of one as a landmark on their weight loss journey, sometimes the goal itself. Others think, erroneously, that it's part of an anti-aging strategy. If you can run a marathon, you are fit, or so the story goes.
New MRI data out of the Heart and Stroke Foundation suggests the contrary: that "less fit" runners running a marathon are damaging their hearts for up to three months [8]. The musculature of the human heart is made up of 17 segments. If one segment fails due to stress (say, from a marathon), adjacent segments pick up the slack. Unfit marathoners exhibited abnormally high amounts of overly stressed heart segments. Their hearts were working harder, and the work was concentrated across fewer segments. These abnormalities persisted for as long as three months after the marathon.
Okay, exercise induces muscle damage as a rule. That's how we get stronger – by undergoing stress and muscle damage, and adapting to it by rebuilding our muscles stronger than ever. But muscle damage isn't supposed to last for three months. Sure, even the study's authors admit that the damage is reversible, but is that really an effective way to train?
The problem is that there's no built-in shut down code in our central nervous system when it comes to running a marathon. The heart muscle doesn't sense the "pain" of exertion the way leg muscles do. It just tries to keep up with the demand to pump more oxygen. Total beginners with a new pair of $150 Nikes (with shock absorbers, stabilizers and motion control) and a fanny pack full of glucose gel can sign up for a marathon and (just) do it. It's not so traumatic an ordeal to trigger an automatic response; it's more drawn out and gradual a muscle stressor.
Beginners should probably not be running marathons. Truth is, I don't even think experienced endurance athletes should be running marathons [9] as often as some do (I keep tabs on all my old elite runner/triathlete friends who have had serious heart problems – or died – and it's at a significant number now). But good luck getting that across. They – we – can be a stubborn bunch. If you want to get fit and you're starting from scratch, lifting heavy things, engaging in slow steady movement often, and getting your diet in order are the most reliable, safest steps toward that goal. Running a marathon sounds badass and impressive, but remember – the first marathoner dropped dead [10] after completing it. Myth? Maybe, but I wouldn't take it lightly. If you insist on doing one, please train properly.

We set out to prove - or disprove - the theory that brides-to-be pay more. Last year, the number of Australian couples tying the knot hit a 20-year high and in 2008 the average cost for a wedding was $33,349. The wedding industry cops a lot of criticism when it comes to pricing, and when the W-word is mentioned, can you ever be sure you're paying what you should? CHOICE commissioned two shadow shoppers to organise quotes for a wedding and a birthday - both events had the same number of guests and identical requirements. Our shadow shop focused on the following:
We suspected higher quotes for those planning on saying "I do" but some disturbing techniques also emerged in our wedding enquiries. One of the main trends? Our shoppers were often directed to pricey "wedding packages" that include a lot of unnecessary extras, and don't allow for individual requirements. The importance of shopping around is recommended - and don't be afraid to haggle!

UPDATED: Wednesday, October 31, 2012 - 7:59pm
A Kilgore man was arrested Tuesday evening after Texas Department of Public Safety troopers said he drove drunk with three children in the car.
According to arrest reports, Jose Antonio Cordova, 40, drove off the road multiple times at about 6 p.m. before directly into oncoming traffic near Texas 31 in Kilgore.
The driver was tested to see if he was drunk and admitted to having four or five beers. Troopers found more than five cans in the Hummer he was driving, according to his arrest affidavit.
Cordova had three children, ages 8, 10 and 13, in the car with him. The children told troopers they were afraid and asked their father to return to his lane.
Cordova has been charged with driving while intoxicated with a child under 15-years-old and two counts of endangering a child criminal negligence.
Cordova was held Wednesday in the Gregg County Jail on bonds totaling $7,500.

When Can't Means Won't
A kayak parade? SURE! Who needs water?!
Just last week we had a lovely little pow-wow as a team. It was so refreshing. We reminded one another, and all the new-ish faces (mine included), about why we're at Brains on Fire. As Robbin mentioned, we got back to our roots.
The WHY behind why we do WHAT we do.
It was a "stop. collaborate and listen" kind of afternoon for all of us. One of the stickiest phrases from that afternoon has been on my mind since then.
Can't means won't. (Thanks, Cordell).
I dare you to go a week with the mindset that can't does in fact mean won't. I'm busy. I'm annoyed. I just don't want to do it.
All these can'ts cloud our minds, imaginations and desire to be awesome. Even more awesome than we can fathom. They trick the brain into thinking we're less than we are. We are not capable of reaching just a bit further.
Try it.
Can you reshape your mind and way of thinking to get over the "won't" hump? Can you find a way? Can you be crafty? Can you give just a little bit more? In the long run, I think you can… and will.
2 Responses to "When Can't Means Won't"
Love this post. I have held the essence of this perspective as part of my personal leadership philosophy for years. However, after reading your post, I am going to make a slight modification to it. – "I will work persistently to develop a culture that consistently asks, "How can we …" instead of "we won't (can't) because…".
Hey Steve, thank you so much for sharing. It's totally reframed my thinking- so glad this has been part of your thinking for years. Love the focus on getting around the issue to find the solution, not focusing on the problem. There's always another way…

text: The Others, a horror movie starring Nicole Kidman and produced by her ex, Tom Cruise, is receiving a motley assortment of reviews from critics. On the one hand, Mike Clark comments in USA Today: "It's too easy to be ahead of what's going to happen -- and that's even if you haven't spent time reading Internet spoilers that make sport of leaking Hollywood endings." Lou Lumenick in the New York Post writes: "Poor Nicole Kidman. Injured, divorced -- and now directed to give the most laughable performance of her career." On the other hand, Joe Morgenstern in the Wall Street Journal writes, "You can't take your eyes off Ms. Kidman; she has never played a role with more focused energy." Phillip Wuntch in the Dallas Morning News says of Kidman: "Looking remarkably like Grace Kelly, she delivers a superb performance." And Rita Kempley in the Washington Post calls Kidman's performance "elegant and edgy" and says that the movie "works whether perceived as a ghost story, a psychodrama or an existential debate."

SAMHSA Report Reveals 20 Percent of U.S. Adults Experienced Mental Illness in the Past Year
November 27, 2012
One in 5 American adults aged 18 or older, or 45.6 million people, had mental illness in the past year, according to a report from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The rate of mental illness was more than twice as high among those aged 18 to 25 (29.8 percent) than among those aged 50 and older (14.3 percent), the report said. Adult women also were more likely than men to have had mental illness in the past year (23.0 percent versus 15.9 percent), it said.

Global recovery to accelerate in 2015, no brutal slowdown in China: IMF chief
AIX-EN-PROVENCE, France (REUTERS) - Global economic activity should strengthen in the second half of this year and accelerate in 2015 although momentum could be weaker than expected, IMF chief Christine Lagarde said on Sunday, adding that the Fund did not expect a sharp slowdown in China.
Lagarde said central banks' accommodative policies could have only limited impact on demand and that countries should also act to boost growth by investing in infrastructure, education and health, provided their debt stays sustainable.
The IMF's update of its global economic outlook, expected later this month, will be slightly different from the forecasts published in April, she said.
"Global activity is picking up but the momentum could be less strong than we had expected because potential growth is weaker and investment ... remains subdued." Lagarde estimated that growth in China this year would be between 7 and 7.5 percent.

Bounce is the Way to Go
Mahendra Singh Dhoni will never make a good poker player. It is an ironical thing to say given he has had his fair share of luck leading India until now. It began with the T20 World Cup in 2007, when Joginder Sharma somehow managed to get Misbah-ul-Haq out.
Then, team India became the number one ranked side in the longer format, mainly playing at home. It was a period when Zaheer Khan was fit and bowling at his prime. By some chance, Yuvraj Singh's illness got delayed long enough for him to play a winning hand in the 2011 ODI World Cup. Later, despite an 8-0 drubbing endured thereafter, Dhoni stayed at the helm, something not many captains in the cricket world can possibly boast of.
It is his luck too that Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir have gone off the boil in the past two years, otherwise the selectors would have had possible options to replace him. Questions surround almost every current member of the Indian team and the captain on most occasions is the first to bear the brunt of criticism. With the embarrassing defeat to England in the second Test at Mumbai, Dhoni is once again one of the first players to be staring down the barrel.
Pure blinding luck is not enough to win in poker. You need to be very calculative, with a keen eye on how the cards are lining up at every hand played. Dhoni could have asked for tracks that resembled the dead wicket at Ahmedabad. Beating India on such a pitch is very difficult, with draw the most likely of results, and the possibility of revenge - and redemption - from 2011 might still be alive. Instead, Dhoni gambled with bounce and turn from day one itself. And England called his bluff!
The post-match conference at Mumbai was always going to be interesting in wake of India's loss. Dhoni is known to be quite forthright in his views and everyone wanted to know if he would praise or criticize the pitch at Wankhede. 'I like the pitch here,' he said. 'I would like to have the same pitch for the third Test in Kolkata as also the fourth Test in Nagpur. There is no point playing on dead wickets like in Ahmedabad, nobody wants to bat for three days and spend the next two days in the field. Test cricket should be challenging and such a wicket only bodes well for future of the game in India.'
At the time of writing, a new storm was brewing with Eden Gardens' chief curator being ordered off by the BCCI, for his failure to comply with the Indian skipper's demands. There are two ways to look at it. One, no two pitches can be identical though you can afford spin and bounce to each wicket in its natural pedigree. And two, barring Sourav Ganguly, every Indian captain has had trouble getting his demands met in Kolkata.
The latter isn't really an excuse, for such factionalism is rampant in Indian sport and not just cricket alone. But the fact that it lends into the first pointer is a bit worrisome. One had the opportunity to spend some time with the ground staff at Ahmedabad, after India had completed their in win in the first Test. It was made obvious that demands of bounce and spin don't hold water every time, and not just because the captain may or may not be on good terms with the concerned ground's curator. More than that however, curing pitches is considered to be an art by these grounds-men. What artist in the world wants to be told about the picture he is painting?
Yes, it appears to be an ego-tussle, more than just a challenge laid down by different conditions at different places. It is here that you want to question if Dhoni's demands are genuine at all, particularly with India's defeat hanging prominently in the backdrop.
On the third day of this match, there were three other Tests being played in different parts of the world. Out of Colombo, Adelaide, Khulna and Mumbai, it can be said, and with some pride, that the Indian track is the only one that adheres to the demands of the game today. An equal contest between the bat and ball is what the people want to see, be it any format of the game. The fact that ODIs and T20s don't follow this unwritten stipulation is but an indicator of the financial prowess of these shorter formats. There are no such rules governing five-day cricket, more so now that it is considered to be on the wane.
Sure, fans were dejected that India lost and that too in such despondent manner. That however is not the pitch's fault. Instead, it's the Indian players who did not put theoretical advantage into practice and paid the price. Maybe in the near future, Indian cricketers too will answer their critics with gutsy performances on such wickets, rather than being flat-track bullies. Even so, those who paid to witness this failure were treated to an awe-inspiring performance from England. The visitors were challenged by the conditions and upped the ante, responding to the massive task ahead of them.
That is what a little bounce can do - make cricket a winner that is!

Immigration crackdown may boost US job prospects
More than 9,000 illegal immigrants were prosecuted in March, a big hike from a year ago.
What's needed to discourage illegal immigration into the United States has been known for years: Enforce existing law.
Amazingly, that is happening now – to some degree. This trend may already be shrinking the flood across the Mexican border and have a modest positive impact on job prospects for "native born" Americans during the present economic slump.
Immigration prosecutions reached an all-time high in March, reports the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), a data research and distribution group at Syracuse University in New York. Using data from the Justice Department, it calculates that prosecutions were up 49 percent from February and 72.7 percent from March of last year. This highly unusual surge is filling up US detention centers and jails.
March prosecutions numbered 9,360. That's small compared to the estimated 12 million undocumented immigrants in the US. Nonetheless, "It's working," says Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington think tank that would like immigration levels reduced considerably.
The hike in prosecutions stems from an expansion of "Operation Streamline" last year by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Under the effort, undocumented aliens caught by border guards are no longer simply steered into "air-conditioned buses," as Mr. Krikorian puts it, and driven back across the border to try crossing again. Instead, they are charged with crimes and detained.

An instant-read thermometer gives an accurate temperature reading in seconds and can be used on cuts of meat that are too thin for a probe-type thermometer.
Oxmoor House JANUARY 2004
Combine first 4 ingredients in a large heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag. Add duck; seal. Marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
Heat apricot preserves in a small saucepan over low heat until melted, stirring occasionally. Add 1 tablespoon vinegar and 1 teaspoon soy sauce. Remove from heat.
Remove duck from marinade; discard marinade.
Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add duck to pan, and cook 8 to 10 minutes on each side or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 180°. Brush each duck breast with 1 tablespoon glaze. Transfer duck to a cutting board; cut into thin slices. Fan slices out and place over rice. Brush duck with remaining glaze.

I bought the dehumidifier 3 weeks ago and it's working well so far. My experience with a previous Sears dehumidifier beginning three years ago went like this: First year; worked well. Second year: coils iced up constantly and I had to turn it off for long periods to thaw it out. Third year: refrigerant leaked out, it becomes a high priced fan and not worth repairing. My advice is to get the extended warranty. Update: 7-31-2014: Brought out dehumidifier after storing from last year. Let it run for two days in a humid basement...not a drop of water. Also, the area where the compressor sits get very hot. We'll see what the service agreement folks decide

Item has product improvements over older models; operates more quietly; and removes more water -- now we must wait and see if it lasts longer.

Had a water leak in basement. Purchased to dry out the area and it worked great. The bucket is easy to remove and dump with its handy handle. Only one wish is that the fan would cycle on and off with the unit when the desired humidity setting has been reached. For the money, a great buy.

Bought and installed this unit this morning. I read all the instructions. Turned it on and it shut off after 5 minutes. The "tank full" light comes on after a few minutes and shuts the unit off.

We bought a Kenmore 50 pint dehumidifier two years ago and it just gave out. It started frosting up and the water output diminished. These don't last long!

I use it in a basment in a townhouse, the fan clears the musty smell quickly and keeps the air moving. A full bucket of water is produced twice a day. It gets the air down to the 30's in moisture, and the 40's when it is hot and humid out, Over all it looks and works great in a corner.

The "Monster" of Kinderheim 511 and the antagonist of the series Monster.
Not much is known about Johan's past or even where he came from. He was found at a young age at the border of East and West Germany with his twin sister Anna. The two were placed in different orphanages as Anna was sent to one orphanage while Johan was sent to Kinderheim 511. It was there that he spent his childhood being trained by Neo-Nazis to succeed Hitler and conditioned him to be a relentless leader. As a result, Johan was able to rally the children to kill the guards as he sat on a throne, watching the chaos unfold.
Later on, he is adopted wth his sister by a popular family in Germany, the Lieberts. It was later on after the adoption that Johan killed his surrogate mother and father. Anna confronted him about it with a gun as Johan instructed her how to kill him and what to do with the gun. It is then that Dr. Tenma saves his life by removing the bullet in his brain which ended up ruining his career.
It is unknown as to what Johan's actual name is. While he has kept the surname "Liebert" his first name was given to him by General Helmut Wolfe, who named Johan after a character in a children's book entitled "A Monster Without a Name".
The character of Johan Liebert was created by the original author and artist for Monster, Naoki Urasawa. His anime counterpart was brought to life by director Masayuki Kojima and designed by Kitaro Kosaka.
"Look at me. Look at me. Look at how large the monster inside of me has become."
In the beginning of the series, Johan is presented as a simple child who makes news by being adopted by the Lieberts, a presitgious family that lives in West Germany. It isn't until a buglarly and assault that Tenma meets Johan for the first time. An unknown assailant lodged a bullet in his brain and Tenma has the opportunity to save either Johan or the mayor of Germany. Tenma, feeling conflicted due to his Hippocratic Oath, opts to help Johan and successfully saves his life. However, the mayor dies and this ruins Tenma's career. One night, as Johan is recovering from his operation, Tenma confesses to him that he hopes Johan's life is great since his is ruined. He claims that the chief doctor of the hospital and others are the cause of his demisre. When Johan recovers, the chief of medicine tries to parade Johan around, taking claim for his recovery and gets publicity. However, when he tries to get Anna to take a picture with her brother, she screams in panic and has a mental breakdown. It was after this incident that the enemies Tenma mentioned to Johan each died. Soon after, Johan and Anna disappeared from the hospital. With no leads, the case went silent.
A few years later, Tenma encountered a patient who was a suspect in a string of murders that was occuring throughout Germany. After performing an operation, the patient refered to a Monster and how it was coming. Even though Tenma was able to calm the patient down, he fled immediately once Johan showed up and was killed at his hands. Johan told Tenma that he was grateful that he saved his life and considers him to be like a father to the boy. As Johan leaves, Tenma sees his mistake and all the destruction and death Johan has caused. It is at this point that Tenma makes it his priority to kill the Monster.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that the management of public companies assess the effectiveness of the internal control of issuers for financial reporting. Section 404(b) requires a publicly-held company's auditor to attest to, and report on, management's assessment of its internal controls. The AICPA has consistently urged implementation of Section 404(b) for all publicly held companies. Section 404(b) has led to improved financial reporting and greater transparency. The AICPA believes that all investors in public companies should have equal benefit of the same protections. Some small companies have argued that the regulatory cost and burden of having the assessment outweighs the benefit to investors. During consideration of the bills that became the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, there were several amendments offered that would have exempted a large number of public companies from section 404(b). Ultimately, there was an exemption enacted for non-accelerated filers (companies with less than $75 million in public float). These smaller issuers were never required by the SEC to comply with section 404(b) since enactment of Sarbanes-Oxley Act. There were also 2 studies required by Dodd-Frank. The first required the SEC to conduct a study on the burden caused by section 404(b) compliance for companies with a market capitalization between $75 million and $250 million. The SEC study recommended maintaining existing investor protections of Section 404(b) for companies with market capitalization above $75 million and encouraged activities that have potential to further improve both the effectiveness and efficiency of Section 404(b) implementation. Dodd-Frank also required the GAO to conduct a study to evaluate whether exempt issuers have fewer or more restatements, and how their cost of capital compares with issuers subject to section 404(b). The study is due by July 2013. Legislative Proposals
112th Congress Since January 2011 when the 112th Congress convened, there have been continuing attempts to increase the exemption level for companies subject to section 404(b). A number of bills have been introduced that would expand the Dodd-Frank exemption. The exemption levels in these bills range up to all companies with a market capitalization of up to $1 billion. In April 2012, The Jumpstart our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act) was signed into law. It would generally exempt a new public company from compliance with section 404(b) for the first 5 years it is a public company as long as it does not exceed certain market capitalization or revenue thresholds (called an Emerging Growth Company, or EGC). This Act extends an existing two-year regulatory delay in the implementation of section 404(b) for companies who have had an initial public offering. Importantly, it does not contain an exemption. The Act also contains two provisions urged by the AICPA. The first allows an EGC to opt-out from being treated as an EGC. The second makes it clear that existing public companies cannot take advantage of the EGC exemptions even if they otherwise meet the criteria (not exceeding the market capitalization or revenue thresholds and less than 5 years since the IPO). Additional information on these issues is contained in the AICPA's March 19, 2012, letter to the Senate. The bill was passed by both the House and Senate on large bipartisan votes and was signed by the President on April 5, 2012. It was originally introduced by Congressman Fincher (R-TN), and Congressman John Carney (D-DE) with the title, "Reopening American Capital Markets to Emerging Growth Companies Act of 2011," H.R. 3606. Other bills with various expanded exemptions have also been introduced in the House and Senate during this Congress. Congressman Ed Royce, a California Republican, offered an amendment during House Financial Services Committee consideration of the JOBS Act that would have exempted all public companies with a public float of less than $1 billion from the 404(b) requirements. He withdrew the amendment when promised that his proposal would be considered separately by the Committee later this year. The AICPA continues to fight all such efforts to reduce existing investor protections. Resources Copy of Legislation A copy of the JOBS Act, and all major Congressional actions leading to passage, is available on the Library of Congress's THOMAS website by searching by its bill number, H.R. 3606. The Dodd-Frank Act is available by using the advanced search function and searching for H.R. 4173 by bill number under the 111th Congress.

Enter chaosI can feel the darkness risingI can feel the winds of change upon meThe gentle breeze scorching my skinbringing forth my passion, my rageI feel death tugging at my thoughts, my heart,like strings I cannot snapI see the light fade.The great becomes the pastGood becomes evil.Right becomes wrong,all is new, not as it was.The red sunset begins.Blood shall flow in its wakeHeads roll and the mighty die.The killing fills the earsThe sea turns crimson, as tide matches sunsetAlmost black, almost nightThe twilight where painbecomes delightscreams become tearsinsane laughter, unbridled minds and diluted soulsFinally, the end comesThe light is gone, like all lifeSo quietly, so peacefullyNo noise, no blood, only solaceDeath is here, all else falls silent.
HumanThe day is dark for humankindWhen tongues are silent, eyes are blind.What use for ears that cannot hearThe screams of those in helpless fear,For nostrils that cannot detectThe blood soaked corpses of bodies wrecked?What use for senses that cannot sense,For minds that cloud truth with pretence? What use for hearts without remorse,For consciences that can endorseMindless slaughter, senseless death,Agony in every breath?What mind is clean, what soul is pureThat can witness this and still endureWithout stepping forth to avertThe greed of those who would subvertA billion lives unto their bentTil all torn and all is rent?What is human without humanity?Our world is plagued with depravity.
Make It TrueI'm not the best at goodbye's.I'm sitting here trying not to cry.This is just a simple way to say.I wish you weren't going away.I can't admit how I feel.I'm too afraid this isn't real.There are so many things I want to tell you.But the second I say it out loud will make it true.I can't tell you how I feel when you kiss me.How it ties me down but sets me free.I can't tell you about the fluttering inside.Or how I think about you a lot of the time.How I wish you could understand.But I guess I've done all that I can.I just wish you could open your eyes.Or how I wish I could put down my pride.So I'll keep it all to myself.An un-read book upon the shelf.Because the second I say it out loud will make it true.I can't tell you how much I love you.

Working with policy makers, academics, support providers and businesses, the EDRC brings together internationally recognized scholars to examine research questions such as:
The EDRC is led by Professor Francis Greene, an entrepreneurship specialist that has worked with organisations such as the OECD, the EU and many of the major UK banks.
The EDRC seeks to build on existing strengths within the cluster and develop new ways of engaging with real business issues. In terms of existing strengths, the EDRC is the new home of Centre for Research in Ethnic Minority Entrepreneurship (CREME).
Led by Professor Monder Ram, CREME applies insights gained from high quality research into issues faced by minority businesses in terms of capital and finance, supplier diversity, wages, migration policies, technology and social inclusion.
One of CREME's key initiatives is the Enterprise and Diversity Alliance (EDA), which was created as a knowledge exchange vehicle to communicate CREME's research to a non-academic audience. Led by Professors Kiran Trehan and Monder Ram, the EDA works with partners drawn from academia, support providers, businesses and policy makers. Its mission is to 'Make Diversity and Enterprise Everyone's Business'.
Both CREME and the EDA complement developing strengths within the overall EDRC in terms of other forms of diversity entrepreneurship (e.g. female, youth and disability entrepreneurship) and fit with the overall mission of the EDRC to translate high quality research into policy and practice.
To develop new ways of blending research with real business issues, the EDRC also aims work with academics, practitioners and support providers to develop a business facing research at the interface between science, technology and entrepreneurship.

text: Acupuncture is one of the best types of homeopathic therapies for a variety of problems and illnesses. For example, I get acupuncture several times a month for back pain and headaches, and the treatments have made a bid difference in my life. My back pain no longer keeps me from doing the things I love to do, and my headaches are less frequent and less severe.
