The Mother Baby Center Welcomes First New Baby
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Abbott Northwestern Hospital and Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota today announced the arrival of baby Gemma as The Mother Baby Center's first new baby. Born Feb. 4 at 11:20 a.m. by water birth, Gemma was 7 pounds, 6 ounces and 21 inches long. Gemma was joined by 10 other babies, all born during The Mother Baby Center's grand opening day.
In addition, Children's and Abbott Northwestern moved all of the babies and mothers from the old facility at Abbott Northwestern into new rooms at The Mother Baby Center. With the support of clinical staff, hospital leadership and specialized moving planners, many of these patients were moved via the quarter-mile underground tunnel from Abbott Northwestern to The Mother Baby Center.
Abbott Northwestern Hospital, part of Allina Health and home to Minnesota's largest obstetrical center, and Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota, which features the largest neonatal program in the region, opened The Mother Baby Center on Monday, Feb. 4. The Center is the only birth center of its kind in Minnesota and one of only a few in the country. The facility has capacity for 5,000 births each year and offers a comprehensive approach to care, beginning at prenatal care and continuing through obstetrics, perinatology, labor and delivery, neonatology and pediatrics.
"After years of successful collaboration, Children's and Abbott Northwestern are thrilled to combine our expertise into one state-of-the-art facility, and even more excited to join in the celebration with the moms and families who welcomed their new babies during The Mother Baby Center's grand opening day," said Alan L. Goldbloom, MD, president and chief executive officer of Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota.
The Center brings the expertise of Minnesota's premier birthing center and NICU under one roof. The new Center is designed to provide an exceptional family experience for all moms and babies, as well as improve outcomes for mothers and babies in high-risk pregnancies and pre-term births. Services and specialties available at The Mother Baby Center include maternal assessment; labor and delivery; ante-partum and post-partum units; newborn and Special Care Nurseries; and the NICU. "We are thrilled to welcome new lives to this world in the healing environment of The Mother Baby Center—offering everything from a natural birth to the highest level of specialty care for families. Now we truly have a beautiful place to go along with the incredible expertise and compassion of our doctors, midwives, and nurses," said Penny Wheeler, MD, chief clinical officer of Allina Health and a practicing obstetrician.

A collection of graphic representations of data by CEPR researchers on important economic issues.
September 6, 2013
The sharp rise in retail employment and restaurant work in the latest jobs report continues the pattern where low-paying sectors show the most rapid growth. While some have argued that this is due to technological changes, the data suggest that a weak labor market is forcing people to take bad jobs. This is seen by the correlation between state unemployment rates and the growth in the share of restaurant jobs. Also, wage growth has been less rapid in the restaurant sector than elsewhere (0.6 percent over the last year in restaurants compared with 1.9 percent overall), the opposite of what would be expected if technology was behind a relative increase in demand for restaurant workers.

The Commerce Department reported a 13.4 percent plunge in new home sales in July, suggesting a sharp turning point in the housing market. The new home sales are erratic, so this report should be viewed with some caution, but the drop in sales is consistent with realtor accounts from around the country about the market having slowed sharply since the jump in mortgage rates at the end of June.

Methodological changes introduced with the latest Department of Commerce report on GDP growth show a somewhat different picture of the economy over recent decades. Including research and development and other intangibles as capital increases GDP by roughly 3.0 percentage points compared with prior measurements. However, the increase in the measured size of the capital stock also means that there will be more depreciation. The new measure added $250 billion to depreciation in the corporate sector for 2012.

Now you can see why our preview of Just Cause 2 was so glowing ... it has 62% more chutes! Yes, it looks this good. Lead game designer Peter Johansson from Avalanche Studios takes us through the game with his sexy accent, and base jumping / parachuting alone looks like a hell of a lot of fun. Seriously, why has no one developed a skydiving game? (Mention Go! Sports Skydiving and we'll hurt you.)
Watch the entire video above (it's long) and you'll see why Spider-Man has nothing on Rico. After all, he didn't carry a gun. The original Just Cause was a slightly buggy mess that was caught up in the changeover from the Xbox to the Xbox 360, although it featured some enjoyable and innovative gameplay. This sequel looks much, much better and we'll be keeping our eyes open for more info before it comes out in 2010.

Hatzius Says He Expects Fed Will Maintain Asset Purchases
Nov. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Jan Hatzius, chief economist at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., said he expects the Federal Reserve will decide to maintain its pace of monthly asset purchases when policy makers meet next month.
"We're expecting an increase in the pace of balance sheet expansion from the current $40 billion per month to something like $85 billion a month," Hatzius said today in an interview on Bloomberg Television's "Market Makers" with Sara Eisen. "That basically implies that the pace of asset purchases of longer-term Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities stays at the current $85 billion number or somewhere very, very close to that."
The policy-making Federal Open Market Committee said on Oct. 24 it would continue its record easing strategy until the labor market improves "substantially." The central bank is having the most profitable year on record, according to quarterly financial reports released by the Fed today in Washington. It earned $69.4 billion in the first three quarters of 2012, up from $58.2 billion the same period last year, the reports said.
Hatzius said "fiscal drag" is the biggest headwind facing the U.S. economy.
Above Trend
"If it wasn't for that fiscal drag, I think we'd be looking at above-trend growth right now," Hatzius said.
President Barack Obama and Republicans in Congress are seeking ways to avert the so-called fiscal cliff, the more than $600 billion of automatic tax increases and spending cuts that take effect in January if lawmakers fail to reach a compromise.
"It's a pretty weak economy in early 2013 but then I think as the year progresses we start to see a gradual acceleration," Hatzius said of the outlook if the fiscal cliff is averted and Europe contains its debt crisis. "We have 2.5 percent growth in the second half of the year, and we expect further acceleration into 2014 and 2015."
The U.S. economy expanded more than previously estimated in the third quarter of this year, revised figures from the Commerce Department showed today in Washington. Gross domestic product grew at a 2.7 percent annual rate, up from a 2 percent prior estimate.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Tubulovillous adenoma, TVA, is a type of polyp that grows in the colon and other places in the gastrointestinal tract and sometimes in other parts of the body. These adenomas may become malignant (cancerous).
TVAs are considered to have a higher risk of malignant transformation than tubular adenomas.[1]

Dont Fear the Reaper
Chapter 1: Here We Go Again
July 24 1998, Raccoon Forest
Alpha teams chopper flew over the forest, the sun setting quickly. Not only had they lost contact with Bravo team, but there had been reports of a gigantic explosion on a mountain nearby. There was also the fact that they had managed to jack Bravo teams personal radio line, and the last thing they managed to receive was a garbled message from Kate, presumably calling Enrico, sounding obviously agitated and definitely asking for backup. Wesker had delayed a bit, but they had eventually set out. Wesker, Jill and Chris had their Samruai Edge handguns. Barry was packing a .44 Colt Anaconda with a 10-inch barrel for no adequately-explained reason. Chris also had a combat knife clipped in his holster, and Joseph Frost was carrying a Mossberg shotgun.
I wonder what happened to Bravo team? Chris wondered.
They were probably sidetracked by a completely unrelated third party that they had no jurisdiction over in the first place, Wesker remarked. His time in Birkins basement had clued him into the situation, but he remained silent on that matter. Jill suddenly felt her pockets.
Hey, Barry, where the hell are my lockpicks? she wondered. Barry looked sheepish.
Sorry. Borrowed them to pick some taco out of my teeth forgot I had them in my pocket, Barry handed them back. Jill glared at him. He shrugged, and she flinched.
Careful gesturing with that cannon, she snapped, indicating his massive revolver. This time he glared at her and shoved it into his shoulder holster. Jill glanced out.
Look, Chris! Jill indicated the crashed helicopter in the woods. Brad swiveled the choppers searchlight to centre on the crash site. Landing nearby, the team stepped out to investigate. Unknown to them, the previous night Kevin had decided to while away the time hacking down trees with the axe stowed under the seat. After this exertion had tired him out, he had gone to sleep in the seat while zombie Dobermans jumped out of nowhere, clawed his eyes out and wrecked his choppers shit. Jill suddenly inclined her head.
What is it? Chris asked.
I think Kate just sent me a psychic message. It says; Get the frick out of there and call the FBI, Jill replied.
Were sticking to the mission. Thats an order, Wesker cut in. Meanwhile, Joseph was being a mute loner bastard and dicking around behind their backs. The flashlight under the barrel of his Mossberg cast weird shadows on the vegetation. He heard a growl behind him. Spinning, he was caught full in the face by a leaping zombie Doberman. He let out a blood-curdling scream. The other three officers turned to see him getting devoured by a pack of dogs. Jill, who was closest, raised her gun. She didnt actually fire it or anything. Just aimed it. Then when one of them jumped at her, Chris popped it in the head. He then forgot about the other fourteen bullets in his gun, grabbed Jill and ran off. Chris then tripped over his own feet and another dog pulled the leap attack before being popped by Wesker. The four officers oddly, Barry had not lent his handcannon to the party decided not to stick around with the zombie dogs and booked it towards a mansion just visible in the distance.
BRAD! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GOING!? Chris yelled up at the helicopter above them flying away believing that his voice could carry about three hundred metres above him and be audible over a choppers rotors. Brad, meanwhile, had spotted the zombie dogs and decided to gently caress that noise and leave. The four burst through the front door.
Enter the survival horror
I mean, enter the world of survival horror
Chris lit a cigarette with his lighter and brought it to his mouth. Suddenly a Capcom executive leaped out of nowhere, ripped it out of his hands, stomped on it and slapped him. Chris looked hurt, but rolled with it.
Jill dramatically pulled back the slide of her gun, displaying her perfect manicure which all police officers have. Also, her boobs mysteriously shrank in size, only to return to normal upon entering the mansion.
Barry loaded his Anaconda with .44 rounds. He briefly pondered if it was legal for a police officer to be packing not only a .44 revolver a sidearm proven to be too powerful for police use but also a wickedly out-of-control beard. He dramatically cocked his gun which had not only changed colour, but also barrel length and model type.
Rebecca Chambers, mysteriously looking slightly Indian, tied her non-existent bandanna and staring at the camera. One would wonder where she got it more to the point, where her heavy weaponry from the Marcus Facility had gone.
Wesker put on his sunglasses and ran his fingers through his slicked-back blond hair which had mysteriously gone from light blond to toxic yellow for a minute or so.
I dont care what Redfield says, he remarked. My hair is fucking fantastic. Just ask Birkin, he held a contest. I was voted the best in the whole of America.
Ix-ney on the Irkin-Bey! Birkin hissed.
Age: 25
Blood Type: AB+
Height: 183 cm
Weight: 90 kg
Matt scratched his head. What the hell am I doing here? Why did a scary voice just yell my name? Why do I get the feeling that my blood type is going to be a factor later on? I like my blood when its in me!
Age: 27
Blood Type: O-
Height: 165cm
Weight: 65 kg
Im in the same boat as Matt. Kate said, Why the hell is a creepy voice yelling out our biological details? How come my blood type is O-?
She lifted her shirt and Kevlar vest a fraction, And why is my scar tingling?
There was a huge fiery explosion. Out of the fireball the words RESIDENT EVIL could be seen. Chris then tripped into a wormhole and came out at the Philadelphia turnpike, and began choking on the exhaust fumes. Ignoring their partners predicament, Jill, Wesker and Barry entered the survival horror.

Seth Kyros: The character Igor from this game is pretty much some kind of mentor to the main character, it doesnt really have much to do with the trope
The Igor
. Sure, he has the name, but that's it.
Eakin: Not so sure
Dysfunction Junction
applies here, sure some people (mostly the persona users) have traumatic back stories, but a number of the social link people have problems like "Have a crush on my teacher," or "Plays MMOs because my job sucks" which aren't quite on the same level.
Also I nominate Mitsuru for a subentry under
Break the Cutie
: Point taken about
Dysfunction Junction
(I copied the original entry from the article; what's on that page was "boiled down" by another editor). However, I think it still fits overall, since there are
a lot
of messed-up people in this game. I'll fix it to "
of the Social Links."
<cut a bunch of useless discussion-type stuff since I realized you had already said the same thing in fewer words. ~Spec >
As for the other: You can go ahead and add it yourself if you want; no one's stopping you. (I would add it myself, since I think I know what you're getting at, but I'm a tad
tired right now and not really wanting to make any major (or semi-major) edits at the moment.)
Uknown Troper: This troper was the one who made the game's entry under Dysfunction Junction. I justify them thus: They're not
issues — but everyone, and I mean
has got one. Your teacher? Alchoholic. Leader of the sports team? Problems with motivation and a lack of direction. School's star athlete? Father's dead, he has to provide for his mother and five siblings or something. Old monk in the bar? Bitter and estranged from his family. And so on, and so on. At the time when Junpei said (I believe) "Oh, and my dad is an alcoholic" just
suddenly out of the blue
while discussing
I actually groaned audibly. It was about the only thing that was missing.
I mean, come on. Name a major character or social link, any character (except Pharos). I think I've played enough of the social links to have figured it out, even if I didn't actually finish them all.
Eakin: Well, yeah, they do all have problems, but it would be tough to write ten scenes for each character if they didn't have SOMETHING to frame the narrative arc. They'd all turn out like the Devil social link, with the corrupt businessman lecturing MC for 10 days about how to screw people over and take their money. I guess having 80% of the links feature tragic backgrounds is enough to qualify for the entry.
I scoffed at that alcoholic bit too, though. Someone on the writing staff has some major father issues they need to work out.
: Even the Devil Social Link had the problem of having grown up poor and loathed and instead of turning into a happy success story just became super rich and incredibly bitter. Though I was amused that his was the only one that didn't involve him changing for the better.
As for Junpei, I was just bothered that it came out of nowhere like that and never got addressed again. I was under the impression his parents were both dead just because he never once mentioned them until that scene. Kind of a nuisance when everyone else's issues were explored more thoroughly. Even the dog got more backstory than Junpei.
universalperson: For Yukari being the
First Girl
, the game eventually reveals that's not the case. Also, for the record, in a case of sheer irony, Aigis and the main character have the same Japanese voice actors for Azel and Edge in Panzer Dragoon Saga, Azel being kind of like Aigis. Furthermore, the main character's Japanese voice actor eventually does a role in this game that is extremely similar to [[
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Kaworu Nagisa}..., who had the same Japanese voice actor. Coincidence?
Uknown Troper
: This troper, somewhat annoyed with that fact, actually added Aegis under the love interests tab through the
Strangled by the Red String
trope (with the addition of "bitter, me? perish the thought")... He removed it immediately afterwards. It was a bit
much of a
Take That
Specialist290: I was mainly referring to the fact that Yukari's the first female character the player is introduced to in the game, rather than the first one the character actually met chronologically. Point taken, though—I suppose you could say it's
Left Hanging
exactly which of the two
the First Girl, even in the game itself.
Incidentally, it just occurred to me that it can also be considered
, after a fashion: Aigis is the last girl you talk to during "Operation Babe Hunt."
Specialist290: Incidentally, does anyone know how to align the pic to the right of the page instead of the left?
Uknown Troper
: I consider
a non-example of affably evil — because he isn't in any way
; the destruction he causes is due to his nature. He's, after all,
to go through with
The End of the World as We Know It
: I agree w/ you there (wasn't me that added that one). Personally, though, I'd rather change the reference than outright delete the entry, but I can't think of a good trope to match it to... I'll see what a little browsing turns up. EDIT: I'm reminded of
Total Recall
for some reason... Maybe a little judicious searching will turn up something.
(again): Changed it to
Amnesiac Dissonance
(my hunch was right). I rewrote the entry, then decided that the full version belonged better on that page, so I overwrote the original P3 entry there and typed up a new summary on this one.
Uknown Troper
: Fair enough (I wrote the original entry). I put a few spoiler tags on it, though.
Specialist290: Ah. Sorry about that.
: So, um, shouldn't there be some discussion of this game as a game? I've heard this game is really good, but the main body of the entry doesn't even mention what genre it is, much less anything more detailed; just the plot. (It's a dungeon-crawler, from what I've been able to determine in my admittedly incurious observations.)
: *smacks self on forehead* I'll get around to that... Yeah, you're half right; "dungeon crawler" is fairly accurate, at least for a good part of the game.
: I'm so tempted to delete
Guide Dang It
(Try fusing a Lilith with Mabufudyne or Alice with Megido without consulting a guide. Go on, I dare you.) because I found it incredibly easy to do both of the above sans guide. You need to understand how the fusion system works but everything you need is spelled out in the in-game tutorials or is
All There in the Manual
. How much of a challenge did the Lilith/Alice tasks pose to other people?
: To tell the truth, some of the earlier fusions were simple to do by themselves w/ a little experimentation, but I needed to use a
guide to get a specific Persona using Triangle Fusion. It usually wasn't the Persona that got me, though, but getting the specific move on there, since it took me quite a while to figure out the move inheritance rules (although there were a few obvious ones regarding the elemental attacks). Therefore, I'd say
let it be
: Does
You Killed My Father
really apply here?
isn't killed by
dies at the hands of
Takaya, not Ken
: It sets it up for that sort of situation, so I guess that counts as a subversion. (It's also proof that I need more sleep...) I'll note that in the entry. Thanks for pointing it out.
: Trimmed down the
Cosmic Horror
entry and moved most of the relevant info over to the trope page. (Noting just in case...)
: I know this isn't Wikipedia, but I still wish there had been more objectivity in this entry. The troper who wrote this one up seems to think the series has "mature themes". Yeah, right. I played a Persona game once ("Eternal Punishment", maybe). I find absolutely nothing "mature" about kicking the game off with the police investigating the murder of a principal... and having absolutely no concern (or even awareness) about the random-encounter demons all over the school! Gameplay And Story Segregation to the max, and most irritating.
: Gee, how objective. "I played a Persona game once. I didn't like it. Hence, this entry is bad."
Complaining About Games You Don't Like
, much?
: Gee, put words in my mouth much? Try again if I ever DO make a trope mocking Persona. I didn't say the entry was BAD, just that it could've used more objectivity and I wondered why the troper considered the games "mature". (Having had a chance to play Persona 3 FES in the meantime, I still wonder.)
: Because for starters, shooting oneself in the head repeatedly is *not* considered light and fluffy material. Nor is the constant questions of the meanings of existence in the face of an inevitable apocalypse. That said, the franchise is really only considered adult in America - Shin Megami Tensei and its spin-offs are aimed at and played by the general gaming public in Japan. Its just that while the occult and such is considered kosher in Japan, its not considered so here.
Silverevilchao: Ever watched
Neon Genesis Evangelion
? Is that show mature? Yes? Ok, then Persona 3 is mature, considering that both of them share some of the same themes.
: Took out the following under
Nietzsche Wannabe
Arguably, the final boss falls under this as well, slowly reciting a story about the Tarot in his creepy, echoing voice
every time he shifts his Arcana.
Nyx Avatar
The moment man devoured the fruit of knowledge, he sealed his fate. Entrusting his future to the cards, man clings to a dim hope. Yet, the Arcana is the means by which all is revealed...
If anything should be allowed to talk about the futility of life without being accused of being a poser, it should be
the literal manifestation of Death
: Nuked most of the examples under
Game Breaker
. Things like the Omnipotent Orb and Orpheus Telos are not Game Breakers purely because you get them at the very last stage of the game and have to put in a crapload of work before you can use them. By that point they count more as a
Bragging Rights Reward
Shout Out - Innocent Sin Online (and the accompanying player names Maya and Tatsuya) is one big Shout Out to Persona 2 (and was originally a Shout Out to Megami Tensei, the game that started it all). Also, several fusions (particularly the ones that Elizabeth requests) are those of key characters from other
Mega Ten
games; Alice and Lilith, for example, were important characters in Shin Megami Tensei.
Nezumi: I don't want to edit his page for fear of spoilers — I've already accidentally uncovered at least one, although it was one I'd already guessed before reading it — but all the ones under this bullet point are actually Mythology Gags, since they're all part of the same series, just different continuities.
Uknown Troper
: Fear not, citizen, I have solved your spoilery problems with my ninja-like editing! Uknown Troper, away!
Sigh: About
Love Makes You Crazy
, only Yukari applies here because Mitsuru wasn't in love with the MC.
Red Viking
: She had the same motivation as Yukari and she was if the player dated her.
Sigh: She wasn't canon, though... and Mitsuru was only acting out of friendship to Yukari. Perhaps you can add that instead?
Red Viking
: I added Mitsuru because it's subjective. If we were talking about the
Official Couple
, I'd agree with you. But in this case, one can always assume she had feelings for the MC as well, especially since she is one of the potential love interests.
Sigh: Even so, I don't think she should be added to the trope unless there's definite proof that her actions were motivated by love. Though I will settle on this entry:
Love Makes You Crazy
- Yukari's attempt to
win the key and go back in time to see the Main Character again even if it might undo his victory over Nyx and doom the world.
Mitsuru aids Yukari in this endeavor, but it's never specified whether or not she doing it out of her feelings for the Main Character.
Of course, she could always count because of her love for
, even though that's not the kind of "love" the trope is talking about. :P
Red Viking
: It's fine. I think you're being a bit too technical about the entries considering the informality of this site, but I'm willing to drop it.
Sigh:^_^;; It's fine, I'll keep it. I'm just...sorta weird about these things, sorry.
Mew seeker : about that part in the Answer where
you have to fight your teammates
, which trope does fit that part best?
Took a Level in Badass
? Or maybe something else as
they are much stronger, having 2000 Hps, no weaknesses, being immune to instant death, Ken having some super evading skill, Koromaru having Brave Blade, Junpei having Power Charge, Yukari having Rain of Arrows, Primal force, Megidolaon, Mitsuru having Vorpal Blade, Mind charge and Megidolaon.
And on top of that,
they're back to normal when they come back with Aigis.
: Probably
Good Is Dumb
Evil Is Cool
. (Mitsuru always had Mind Charge in the game I played, I point out.)
: I replaced the references to "Episode Yourself" and "Episode Aegis/Aigis" with their English names where appropriate. Most people looking at this page are going to play the US localization, so I think its appropriate in this case that the information be clear to the majority of viewers and also so future trope entries that will probably end up using the American names don't break up the flow of the page.
Unknown Troper
: The summary of the game at the top of the page is excessive. It sounds more like it could pass for a review of the game than a summary of the game. It could probably do with some serious compaction and deletion of unnecessary details. Tropers looking to read about the game don't need to know every detail of the game's workings. Perhaps a separate character page could be made as well.
: I agree. Actually, the insanely long summaries are a problem on several pages for specific shows/games/etc. and I've tried to clean them up where I can. They really shouldn't be reviewing the game, they just need to cover the basics. This game
would benefit from a Character page. I don't have the time to put one together right now or I'd volunteer.
Silverevilchao: I rewrote the summary. It's still a bit long, but it doesn't blatantly detail the first half-hour of the game anymore. What do you think?
Untuned Strings
: I like the shortened summary a lot better than the old one. But I'm curious as to your reasoning for changing the page quote. Personally I liked the old one better.
Silverevilchao: I thought the general idea of what Aigis said was something that was really, really
by the end of the game. The game in the last few months is like "
", what with the
important characters dropping like flies, the entire last month of the game
, not to mention the constant stream of
Memento Mori
in the game's original intro
(and don't even get me started on The Answer)
. I thought her quote really epitomized that. xD;;
: No, I think "Memento Mori" represents the
and its theme better than anything. Aigis' quote comes off as needlessly downbeat, and even Pharos' creepy foreshadowing is a LOT more memorable. Even with the events in the last few months of the game, the message at the
of the game is very positive! (Which is kind of the point.) Anyone else think the quote should be reverted?
Untuned Strings
: I also think it should be reverted.
BritBllt: Same here, and since that's three people, I'll change the quote back.
: No prob. ;) I'm glad you guys at least liked the summary - that was something that had been bothering me for quite a bit. xD;;
BritBllt: Oh, definitely great job on the summary! And the Pharos and Aigis quotes both carry the same theme, so it still works for the new article. ^_^
Rocket Science: Do you guys reckon
applies here? After all, the intro is basically nothing but
memento mori
over and over again, there's craploads of
random symbolism
Motive Rant
is all about how the world
die, both endings illustrate why it's important to live life to the fullest (and all of the ultimate Personas are awakened by realising this), etc. etc.
: I only have one question: WHY IS THERE NO
Tear Jerker
ENTRY?! The game damn near broke my heart at the end!
And don't even get me started on the LP... *bawl*
: It's a wiki. You don't need permission.
: In
, is the tea really called Cylon tea, or did someone miss-spell Ceylon? (Which is a normal variety of tea...) I'm afraid I can't quite remember.
It's a direct and deliberate
. Even the item description in the menu references
Battlestar Galactica
Removed the following:
Hot Chick with a Sword
- Mitsuru, in a rare example of one
wielding a Japanese sword.
Mitsuru is by no means any kind of
Aloof Ally
; she's an integral member of SEES from the beginning.
Rogue 7
: By my reading of the trope page, being an
Aloof Ally
is optional- the trope in this case is almost
Exactly What It Says on the Tin
. And if you don't think Mitsuru's hot...
Ramidel: To quote the page: "It should be noted that not all traits apply, but most generally do. It should also be noted that not all girls who wield swords would be a Hot Chick With A Sword. To use an example with a commonly known character, Kamiya Kaoru from Rurouni Kenshin would NOT be of this trope."
So I don't think
Exactly What It Says on the Tin
fits; there at least has to at least be some point where Mitsuru is either aloof to the party, hostile to it, or otherwise screwing with their heads, and just not revealing a personal trauma doesn't count. Instead, she's the
Team Mom
and one of those working hardest to save the world.
Mogster: Under
Nightmare Fuel
, there's an entry that reads "After Yukari fails to summon her persona, the Protagonist calls his own, Orpheus (the legendary Greek poet and master of the lyre)." From what I can tell Yukari does in fact summon her persona twice in that scene; it's just that the persona doesn't materialize the way MC's does.
Have a look at the scene
: at 00:40 a couple of air columns attack the shadows, and again a few seconds later. It's not possible for her to use her air attack without her persona.
: Those attacks weren't from her. They were from the Shadow, and they attacked Yukari. Yukari never reached to pull the trigger, and the Protagonist ended up using her Evoker.
Mogster: I'm not so sure. Since it's the first full moon it'd have to be of the Magician arcana, and don't Magicians use fire spells?
BritBllt: I'm pretty sure Yukari did summon Io in that fight. The sequence of events (which plays out so fast that you can only really catch it once you know how the battle mechanics work) is that she used her evoker and cast Garu twice, but the Magician dodged them and then attacked her, knocking her down. That's when the MC grabbed her evoker and joined the battle. It's a minor point that could be fixed just by rephrasing it as "after Yukari fails to hurt the shadow", which is equally true whichever way the scene's taken.
: re: P3 on PSP —
. DISCUSS. (lol resemblance to Kanji)
: I'm personality excited about this
(The apparent codename for the P3 for PSP), but while this design looks interesting, I hope they won't screw it by just changing everyone's gender and making that the only difference in the whole game.
Rogue 7
: Holy shit, it is Kanji!
: I suspect the genders are player-chosen (or Elizabeth is the opposite to the chosen gender for the MC). I'm more concerned it's download only, because that cause
problems for me in NZ
or simply too 'large'. Not all of us have super-broadband Atlus! (If they change their minds, it'll make deciding between PSP+P1 and
+P3+P4 so much easier...)
: What!? It's been really said to be download-only?! I mean, I know it's been seen in the latest PSP model, which is Download only type, but they are not even gonna release it in any other form?!
Well, maybe, maybe not
. Can anyone read this to clear it up?
Ah, found something back in the forums.
Turns out I was wrong. Huzzah!
: Yay! ^_^
BritBllt: The social links alone will make this fascinating. I can't wait to see how the story's changed, with the male Theodore getting introduced to the human world, and with the heroine being friends with Mitsuru and Yukari while dating guys like Kaz and Kenji. And does that mean Ryoji might become "Ryoko", a popular new girl that the guys are all swooning over? Or that Pharos might become "Phara", a spooky little girl who appears in the heroine's room at night? I might have to cave in and buy a PSP just to give this a try...
: Actually, it's recently been confirmed that male Ryoji will still be in the female MC's route. AND he's the Fortune S.Link for her. ... I
to see how this plays out, it just sounds like it's going to end messily.
BritBllt: That's ...disappointing. :( I guess they can justify it by saying his form comes from the female MC's animus, but when they make such a big deal about Pharos/Ryoji gaining his humanity by being a part of the hero, it's a shame we don't get to see that with the female MC. But a romantic social link with the amnesiac
Anthropomorphic Personification
of Death? Yeah, that's gotta take doomed romances to a whole new level...
Or I guess another way to think of it is that Death is just naturally male. It doesn't seem like the shadows would have any real gender, but some of them do take on male or female forms, and Thanatos looks male and is described as Nyx's son, so I guess that makes sense. I just always liked the idea that Pharos/Ryoji looks like so much like the MC because his human form came from the MC's self-image...
BritBllt: Okay, I'd read here that the song
Kimi no Kioku
totally makes the ending clear and that explains the whole story and everything, and so I'd avoided hearing or reading the lyrics until I'd finished the game. Well, I finished the game... and I'm not seeing it, at all. Here's the trope listing...
Also, "
Kimi no Kioku
", the ending song, which explains the whole story and the
Gainax Ending
Said song ''really'' should have been subtitled in-game as "getting" the ending is much, ''much'' harder without it.
And here are the lyrics from Anime Lyrics.com...
The voice of the wind sheds drops of light onto you as you doze off
I won't forget your kind smile or your eyes hidden with sorrow
Even though it hurts (to make a wish), I received the courage to fight from you, so I will go
If I awaken (from a dream), I'll be able to see you again
I will hide my distant memories in my breast and sing
Because you protected this ephemerally floating world by your own hand
Now simply fold your wings and sleep restfully
Be wrapped up in an eternal tranquility, and love through all eternity
Sleep, by this hand of mine that gently watches over you
I remember you laughing, you crying, you angry
I will never forget for all time until my life is exhausted
At a crosswalk, I heard a voice very similar to yours
I turned around and looked up at the sky, holding my tears back from overflowing
Tomorrow for sure (one of these days), I believe I can see you once more as I wander alone
Through rainy nights (and sunny mornings), I keep on waiting
I won't forget the night we ran through
That brightly shining moment, I was with everyone
I spent that time without knowing it was irreplaceable
Now, so that I'll just recall it fondly, I will embrace the feeling
You were definitely by my side back then, you know
You were always, always, always smiling right next to me
Even if I lose you, I'll get you back. I will never leave you.
That's all pretty much what Aigis said in the ending: she'll never leave him, they've fought through so much together, those days meant everything to her, they saved the world and so now he should rest. Any hint of his death, such as the "at a crosswalk, I heard a voice" lines, is no stronger than all the hints that were already in the ending anyway. I'm just not seeing these lyrics as adding anything that the ending itself didn't already have - I mean sheesh, it goes to credits with the hero too weak to move, closing his eyes, and fading away into a bright light! Anyone who's determined to not take it as the hero dying after that could turn these lyrics around to mean he's alive too ("Aigis is just lonely in the song, because he
went off to college without her
, yeah, that's it!"). :)
Space Drake
: Well, "explains the whole story" might be a
much, although a few lines are really rather explicit about the death (such as the aforementioned crosswalk, not to mention "wandering alone". The big thing is the second refrain, though, which in another translation runs as: "In dazzling, shining moments we were all together/I spent them without realizing how precious they were/Now, to remember them fondly I will embrace the feeling/You were right there with me/Always, always, always you were smiling there beside me/Even if I lose you, I'll get you back, I will never leave you".
In addition to
driving the game's point home
, a lightbulb
should be going off
over the last line, as (Answer spoilers)
that line more or less establishes what happens in The Answer and sets up the inner turmoil Aigis feels during the
Tournament Arc
. Without this, some of the characterizations in The Answer can seem a little... random.
I'll hold off on
edit warring
the entry in question back in for now, but it's generally agreed that the song enhances the ending a
and that
leaving it untranslated in the English release was a rather big mistake
BritBllt: I'm not sure I'd go as far as
, since it might've been included with the soundtrack disc, and Atlus must've known fans would be translating and posting the lyrics online in a hurry. But yeah, those are all good points as far as
Bilingual Bonus
goes. I've re-added it as this...
Also, "Kimi no Kioku", the ending theme song, which elaborates on the game's ending sequence and foreshadows
Aigis and the rest of the team's emotional development during
"The Answer"
. Since there are no subtitles, it's up to the player to
find out what the song's about
Looking back over it, I'm not even sure the spoiler tag's needed, but it could be a spoiler for anyone who's read the lyrics but not yet played "The Answer".
Space Drake
: Edited in a little more to split the difference. :V As a rule, Answer stuff is spoilered since it's fairly "deep" in the game and ruins some of the surprises new players may have. Otherwise, looks solid!
BritBllt: Somebody keeps adding in references to evokers being real guns in Japan, but I'm gonna need some
proof to accept that the Kirijo Group hands out real guns for the students to shoot themselves in the head, and that somehow having a persona protects you from fatal headshots and turns actual suicide attempts into a harmless summoning mechanism. That's just way too much to swallow for me, and the whole Nyx's Feather thing in "The Answer" seems to contradict it as well. All I could find online in reference to this idea was an unsourced one-sentence entry on an SMT wiki that could just be part of this same rumor. I'll do some research later to see if there's any truth to it, but it just raises so many
Voodoo Shark
questions that I'm skeptical.
: Atlus said they censored nothing from the Japanese version. They were even explicitly asked about whether the suicide imagery would be replaced and they explained it was staying in unaltered. Whoever is suggesting that the guns should be "real" guns is sorely mistaken or spreading a rumor.
Silverevilchao: Does anyone know what
Arisato Minato
(有里湊) translates to? It's driving me insane!
Space Drake
: Roughly speaking, "home port".
Which isn't symbolic at all, really!
That translation probably loses a little subtlety, but that's more or less what it means.
: Ahaha, I knew "Minato" meant "port", but I thought that maybe it was a homonym for something else. Really, really cheesy name. xD

Fan spat disappoints Bellamy
12 Feb 2009 - 09:27:19
Wales captain Craig Bellamy played down his verbal spat with a fan following the 1-0 friendly defeat by Poland in Portugal.
Bellamy became annoyed when he was heckled by the supporter as the Manchester City striker attempted to conduct a post-match interview.
The former Newcastle United and West Ham star said: "It's a shame. I've shown my commitment to Wales turning up for these sorts of games, but it is me that always seems to get picked on for stick.
"Maybe because I've never played for a Welsh club, I don't know, I've never got that same level of respect back.
"I was trying to do an interview but that happens. A lot of them drink."
Of the game, Bellamy added: "It was another good work-out, good opposition obviously and it was a strong team by them.
"They're an established side who have been qualifying of late as well and had a generation of good players - top, experienced players who play at the highest level.
"But I do feel playing in this team that we do create chances as well, so it's nice going forward.
"There were a few other half-breaks from that which could have gone in as well, obviously when I went through and shot on my left foot."

I'm starting to believe it's true
POSTED: Tuesday, May 7, 2013 - 3:39pm
UPDATED: Thursday, April 17, 2014 - 9:36am
Tyler, TX (KETK) — I've covered this topic before and I always want to be careful.
I'm not a conspiracy or black helicopter guy.
But, there are rumors that the Feds are trying to buy up ammo on purpose to deplete inventory and drive up supply so no one can afford it.
Now a U.S. Senator from Oklahoma, James Inhofe, is actually charging the administration with that.
I want to know what you think about this.
I don't want to believe this, but am starting to think this is true.
But, that's my point of view, what's yours?
You can e-mail me at email@example.com or Facebook me at KETK Neal Barton.
Comments News Comments
I feel there were 2 factors driving the ammo shortage, the DHS Mega-order and the overtures of Obama and his adminstration against guns, which drove the guns and ammo buying frenzy of 2012-13.
I think your finally starting to see the light Neil. What does the Department of Homeland Security need with 1.6 Billion hollow point bullets and 2,700 armored vehicles. I agree because I am not a conspiracy theeroy nut nor do I like to believe that the America I grew up in has leaders halfway capable of such an act, however the evidence is clear and unmistakable. They are doing exactly what Obama promised. He said he would not let the constitution stop him from controlling guns.
Total conspiracy theory hogwash. Supply one bit of evidence of the DHS buying 1.6 billion rounds of ammo and 2,700 armored vehicles. There is none except from radical websites and those that make a living dealing with conspiracy theorists and paranoia.
Just one legitimate source of fact, just one. There are none and you can go down to any local Academy Sports store or Cabela's on the internet and buy more than you can carry.
Total conspiracy theory hogwash.
The DHS and President Obama have invisiable men and women spying on us, they are around every corner. I have invented contact lenses for sale that will allow you to see them. Get yours today before DHS buys them up. They are also erecting invisiable fences around the homes of every gun owner in America. These fenses will be 20 foot high and have invisiable electricity applied to them.
Freedom of speech does not apply to neal's invitation to comment on his posts...if one does not agree with his premise, others will do his dirty work and trash anyone posting another opinion. Mean-spirited folks do not believe in freedom of speech for anyone who is not in lock-step with their posts... in the "new" United State of Texas, everyone will need to sign an oath that they will parrot the prevailing ideology or be subject to ridicule by "real" Texans...Neal DOES love conspiracy theories
Yep, pretty suspicious act by our government or whomever when it hasn't occured in fifty plus years before that I know of and that includes ammunition used in major conflicts the US military has been involved in or with since the 1960's. In my opinion somebody is being real slick imposing gun control upon America without congressional approval and also of my opinion those responsible should be held accountable for their lies and deceit.
Don't you see gang? When Obama tried to send lots of guns to Mexico, via operation 'Fast and Furious' he and Holder were caught.
Well since no one went to jail they are in phase II. Using DHS head Napolitano to buy up huge quantities of ammo as part of 'homeland defense'. I mean what's 20 or so billion dollars when they have trillions to spend.
So what you are seeing is 'Fast & Furious' phase II. Not illegal so no one can be jailed. All they have to do is act dumb to the MSM who ignore it.
I figured that out long ago. Obama swore he would use his power to get around congress.
A simple study shows the bottleneck in production is the priming compounds used to make primers. Absorb their production and nothing else can be produced.
So by ordering BILLIONS of .40 S&W as well as the usual military orders and all the priming compounds were used to produce their ammo. Not much left for any other production.
As the communist said, the capitalist would sell them the rope to hang them.

As members of the Jacksonville City Council prepare to approach their annual budget discussions, they also find themselves at the yearly crossroads of selecting a mayor pro tem.
The "pro tem" portion of this title stands for pro tempore – a Latin term that means, "for the time being." The mayor pro tem is basically a "second in command" appointed to occupy the slot of mayor in the actual mayor's absence.
City Manager Mo Raissi said traditionally, the current mayor pro tem steps down from his or her position on the Jacksonville Council after a year or so to give other members the opportunity to serve.
The councilman currently occupying the mayor pro tem slot is District 2 Councilman Jeff Smith. This may or may not change, depending on what decision members make Tuesday, officials said.
Jacksonville Mayor Kenneth Melvin explained that the process of selection in this regard differs from other traditional Jacksonville council selection procedures.
"You don't actually run for the position – one of your fellow council members nominates you," the mayor said. "We usually try to pass this position around. So it could be any one of three of our members. Or it could be Mr. Smith again, depending on who exactly gets nominated."
These three members to which Mayor Melvin referred are District 1 Councilman Hubert Robinson, District 3 Councilman Bill McDonald, and District 4 Councilwoman Ann Chandler.
If more than one person gets nominated for mayor pro tem during this process, the issue comes down to a council vote, the mayor said.
"There is a certain script we go by," the mayor said.
The selection generally takes place at the beginning of Tuesday's council meeting, reports show.
The meeting takes place at 6 p.m. Tuesday night in the council chambers of the Norman Activity Center, 526 East Commerce Street.

Welcome to the Honors Program at the State University of New York atNew Paltz
About the Program
The mission of the SUNY New Paltz Honors Program is to provide an enhanced intellectual experience in a climate conducive to interaction among highly motivated students and faculty. This experience will seek to develop and intensify skills from a conceptual point of view in a diverse multidisciplinary analytical environment that nurtures independent thinking, creativity, respect and social responsibility.
The Honors Program consists of around 180 students. Once admitted to the program, students take special Honors seminars, which are interdisciplinary and small in size (usually around 15 students). Unlike traditional lecture courses, Honors seminars emphasize dialogue and non-lecture based learning; students are expected to come to class with something to say and to actively participate in debate and discussion.

A new study from HuffPost Food and YouGov BrandIndex showcases consumers' perception of American restaurant chains (130 brands were included). The polling data specifically looked at which chains offer the best value and the highest quality.
Metrics were scored from a 100 to -100 range, which is YouGov BrandIndex's typical methodology. Scores are reached by subtracting negative consumer feedback from positive feedback. A score of zero means equal positive and negative.
Quick-service chains topped the best value perception list, ranked from polls conducted between Jan. 1 and Dec. 6, 2012. The top 10 include:
The team also polled which dining chains gained the most value perception during 2012. Notably, Starbucks made the biggest jump from 2011, although the company still has an overall negative value perception. The top 10 include:
