Where's Stacy?
-- It was only the most important commission meeting of the year, the budget hearing where the already short-handed board voted on how to spend $4 billion of your money.
Ritter and hubbie Klenet |
You know, considering that she's making upwards of $90,000 a year in tax money on a part-time job where she usually only has to show up for work once a week, you'd think she might be able to squeeze it into her busy schedule of ... what? Shopping? Traveling? Riding around her exclusive Parkland neighborhood in a golf cart?
Considering all the corruption investigations, there have been a lot of pointed whispers about her hookey. But let's not jump to conclusions. This could be a health issue or something excusable, but whatever it is shouldn't she let the public know? She also didn't show up for Ken Keechl's Mayor's Gala, which isn't like her. She's one that loves to schmooze with lobbyists and vendors and was said to have really cut a rug at her own Scott Rothstein-financed gala last year at the Hard Rock in Hollywood. Keechl gave the "welcoming speech" at Ritter's gala and then she fails to show up for his? That's just odd. I called and emailed Ritter for an explanation and will update if she responds.
-- As I wrote in the comments last night, I'm hearing that the big announcement coming from Charlie Crist this morning at a press conference at Shelby's Deli in Deerfield Beach is going to be that Robert Kennedy Jr. is endorsing Crist's candidacy for the U.S. Senate and will be there for a photo-op. Crist knows Kennedy and introduced him at a global warming conference in 2007.
-- The New York Post busted out a story on Scott Rothstein's political manager Roger Stone alleging he's in hock to Uncle Sam in a big way. And the newspaper said Stone's problems are directly tied to Scott Rothstein's implosion.
"The Internal Revenue Service filed a $405,035 lien for unpaid income taxes against the consultant -- one of politics' most notorious dirty tricksters -- and his wife, Nydia, last fall in Dade County Circuit Court in Florida, records show," wrote Posters Fred Dicker and Brendan Scott. ".... A source close to Stone said the nattily dressed operative has been suffering from "widespread money problems" in the wake of the collapse of
his partnership with Fort Lauderdale mega-scammer, Scott Rothstein."
Stone fired back in his bombastic fashion, calling the article "one of the most twisted pieces of reporting in 40 years of journalism" and lashing out at one of the reporters.
Davis |
Wayne Barrett, of New Times' mothership Village Voice in NYC, also had a go at Stone. He's attracting attention because of his involvement in the campaign of controversial Carl Paladino, who is running against Andrew Cuomo for New York governor. Also in the race is ex-pimpette Kristin Davis, pictured above, whom Stone has been furiously publicizing.
-- Well, Wilton Manors Police Chief Richard Perez is finally out of his job after the release of his racist emails. Deserving credit on this one: Elgin Jones, the relentless South Florida Times reporter who busted the story.
Also deserving some credit in the realm of much-needed muckraking is, yes, Chaz Stevens, for putting the pressure on Sylvia Poitier, the Deerfield Beach commissioner. She's now being pushed out the door where she belongs and this time Stevens really did the work.

China's Bird Flu Sinks Food, Sparks Biotech
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The bird flu scare in China was driving food and food processing stocks lower Monday afternoon as the death toll from the sudden outbreak rose.
"Food producers will not be helped by the destruction of animal stocks and the increased regulations and precautions regarding containment of this disease," said Michael Pento, president of Pento Portfolio Strategies based in Plymouth, Mass. "I'm avoiding food producers here like Tyson and suggest buying biotechnology through the ETF FBT."
Tyson Foods (TSN - Get Report) was falling 2.24% to $23.49, Smithfield Foods (SFD) was shedding 3.04% to $25.44 and Pilgrim's Pride (PPC - Get Report) was unchanged at $8.85.
Yum! Brands (YUM - Get Report), whose KFC restaurant chain is heavily present in China, was down 0.14% to $66.85, as wholesale and retail poultry markets were shut down in Shanghai and Nanjing, animals were culled and chicken consumption looked to have declined due to fears of being infected.
The outbreak of a new strain of avian flu, H7N9, has already killed seven people in China and infected 24 people as of Monday evening, according to Chinese reports. Chinese officials have started researching the development of vaccines for H7N9, but it could take up to six to eight months before a product can be brought to the market. "To satisfy demand" in the present situation, China's Food and Drug Administration on Friday said it expedited its approval of the BioCryst Pharmaceuticals' (BCRX) anti-influenza drug Peramivir. The stock was surging 13.54% to $1.93.Pento said the avian bird flu outbreak compounds the pain food producers have been feeling due to rising commodity prices like gas and feed stocks.

Moose::Util - Utilities for working with Moose classes
use Moose::Util qw/find_meta does_role search_class_by_role/; my $meta = find_meta($object) || die "No metaclass found"; if (does_role($object, $role)) { print "The object can do $role!\n"; } my $class = search_class_by_role($object, 'FooRole'); print "Nearest class with 'FooRole' is $class\n";
This is a set of utility functions to help working with Moose classes. This is an experimental module, and it's not 100% clear what purpose it will serve. That said, ideas, suggestions and contributions to this collection are most welcome. See the TODO section below for a list of ideas for possible functions to write.
This will attempt to locate a metaclass for the given $class_or_obj
and return it.
Returns true if $class_or_obj
can do the role $role_name
Returns first class in precedence list that consumed $role_name
Given an $applicant
(which can somehow be turned into either a metaclass or a metarole) and a list of @roles
this will do the right thing to apply the @roles
to the $applicant
. This is actually used internally by both Moose and Moose::Role, and the @roles
will be pre-processed through Data::OptList::mkopt to allow for the additional arguments to be passed.
Here is a list of possible functions to write
All complex software has bugs lurking in it, and this module is no exception. If you find a bug please either email me, or add the bug to cpan-RT.

There's still plenty of hay looking for a home in western Tennessee as winter winds down, reports grower Larry Jones, of Oakland, TN.
"We had a pretty rough winter, so people were feeding a lot more hay than normal," says Jones, who is also president of the National Hay Association. "But we also had a very good year for production last year, so our supply was way up heading into the winter."
Jones still has around 20 semi-loads of "good, mixed-grass hay" in 3 x 3 x 8' bales for sale. His asking price is $80/ton at the farm gate. He also has a few 4 x 6' round bales on hand. Those should sell for $40/roll at the farm, or up to $60 delivered, depending on distance from the farm and quantity purchased, he says. His remaining small squares come with a price tag of $200/ton.
For the most part, he says, current local hay prices are in line with where they were a year ago. "I really don't see them going any higher until the general economy picks up."
To reach Jones, call 901-229-0720 or email email@example.com.

Pre-employment screening protects your practice and your clients
The National Law Journal called it one of the "top 100 verdicts of 2007": A truck driver working for a hazardous waste company in Texas caused an accident that led to a man's death. A jury awarded $20.7 million to the deceased's estate, agreeing with the plaintiff that the employer was negligent in hiring the driver without adequately checking his drug use or driving record. It happens in the veterinary profession, too. A veterinary practice hires a young woman who presents herself as a qualified and experienced veterinarian. She's worked three years for another practice and seems to be a good match. But after conducting a background check, the practice management is shocked to learn that she doesn't have a license to practice veterinary medicine. The woman completed two years of veterinary school, dropped out, and still got a job as a veterinarian in a corporate practice. Hard to believe? It happens. Here's another true story: A prospective employee seemed to be matching up well to a veterinary practice's needs and goals, but the practice played it safe and ran a background check. The managers learned that the applicant had been convicted of embezzling from a former employer. Both of these hiring scenarios could have proven unfortunate for these practices, but—luckily—in these two cases, a background check helped avert professional and financial disaster. Unfortunately, not all veterinary practices are so cautious.According to a study conducted in the fall of 2009 by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), 73 percent of HR professionals surveyed said they performed a criminal background check on all job candidates. Nineteen percent did background checks on selected candidates, and 7 percent performed no background checks. It's estimated that less than 10 percent of veterinary practices conduct any kind of background check at all. As a practice owner, you have at least three precious things that need protecting: your clients, your patients, and your employees. How well are you shielding them? Your practice is your livelihood now and will provide the economic resources you need for retirement in the future. How well are you protecting your most important financial investment? Employees of veterinary practices have relatively easy access to both money and controlled drugs. With so much on the line, it's hard to say why more owners don't perform background checks and pre-employement drug screening. With the average cost of a background check less than $100 and basic pre-employment drug screenings at around $25, you can afford to cut your risk of hiring a potential disaster-in-waiting. So what do you need to know to get started? Let's begin by discussing your rights as a hiring employer and the rights of a potential employee under the law. |

BTW: I don't feel like checking the sources and adding these, at least not now... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOsbSI6spSs
Good list of ecchi-centric anime if that's where you were going. I could add a bunch from my Harem and Romantic Comedy list, but I'm not sure if you're just including shows you've seen or also one's you've heard about. Either way, there's a lot of jiggily (and flat) girls caught in compromising positions in those shows.
Oh, and there's nothing "borderline" about Angel Blade. ;-)
@PenguinDust: Sometimes it's hard to tell whether something is hentai or not. There may be many long scenes one after another where nothing really hentai happens. Angel Blade removed, thx.
I'm including shows I've heard about, I've seen none of them. So probably many elements from your lists could fit here, tell me if I should do something, like granting you permission to edit the list or anything else.
Add Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero - It has some really risque fan service.
Add So, I Can't Play H! - It's the same as the first series except our protagonist is a scrawny pervert.
How is Fairy Tail anime borderline anime? I'm not sure if you meant borderline ecchi or hentai. It got some fan service, but it's not an ecchi anime series unless you viewed its OVA series.
@takashichea: thanks, just added those.
About Fairy Tail, it seems to be quite heavy on fanservice, but I didn't watch it so I may be biased.
It's a wide borderline, a way to picture many "shades of grey". I guess I'll remove it, otherwise I'ld have to add too many light shades of grey and would be hard to stop, I guess it's similar to Bleach, right?
Removed, thanks for that too.
Submissions can take several hours to be approved.

$20 for Two Museum Admissions Plus a Guided Tour ($40 Total Value)
After a guided tour (a $5 value each), museum admission (a $15 value each) grants two adults the chance to browse the museum's exhibits and artifacts on their own.
Museum of the American Gangster
Housed in a former speakeasy, the Museum of the American Gangster isn't obvious on a casual stroll down St. Mark's Place. If visitors know to look for number 80, though, they pass through a black gate and up a flight of stairs, where a plethora of artifacts and exhibits awaits. The museum focuses on American organized crime through the decades, which includes profiling mob bosses, Prohibition-era gangsters, serial bank robbers, and dastardly Scooby-Doo villains. The New York Times praised co-owner and tour guide Lorcan Otway as "so encyclopedic that touring the rooms takes an hour," as he expounds upon America's unique relationship with hedonism and straight-laced morality. In the Wall Street Journal, correspondent Alexandra Cheney mentions noteworthy finds including the museum's genuine Tommy guns, vintage whiskey bottles, and old copper stills.
80% of 443 customers recommend
" This museum is filled with interesting memorabilia from various gangster eras and our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and a great storyteller! "
"excellent unique very professionally curated"
"If you like hearing about gangsters and learning about prohibition, it's interesting."

Twilight was confused.
"A boy, Dash? I don't think I understand. You're a girl, Rainbow."
"No I'm not!" Dash exclaimed, standing back up with her chest puffed out.
She could feel her tears welling back up.
"Sure, I'm a girl on the outside, but haven't you ever noticed how different I am from the rest of you? I am not a girl, and I can't stand being treated like one!"
Twilight took a step back. "Rainbow
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you."
Rainbow Dash's face had once again become drenched, tears dripping off her chin as she screamed.
"You're sorry? Everypony treats me like a girl, and the first pony I tell different doesn't even understand!"
Dash lowered her head in disappointment. "Just
forget I said anything. I'm out of here."
And with that, Rainbow blasted through Twilight's, thankfully open, window.
She didn't know what to do. How could Dash not feel "right" as a girl? She was a girl, wasn't she?
"This is so confusing!"
Twilight Sparkle continued to rummage through the growing pile of books in front of her.
"There isn't anything about what Rainbow Dash described in any of these books!"
Her frustration continued to mount.
Spike was standing just a few feet away from Twilight, picking up the mess she had been making.
"Yes?" He murmured, obviously annoyed.
"Spike, do you know anything about what Rainbow Dash described earlier?"
He sat down where he was standing, allowing himself to get lost in his own thoughts.
"Well, you told me she felt like she was a boy, right? I've never heard of something like that before. Sounds to me like she's been doing too many aerial spins if you know what I'm sayin'."
He let out a short laugh.
"Spike, this is serious. Dash was really upset. I've never seen her cry like that before."
Spike went from joking to concerned, retracting his previous statement. He looked down at his toes.
"I don't know Twilight. I mean, shouldn't ponies know whether they're a boy or girl?"
"Of course, Spike. I mean, it should be so obvious, but with Rainbow Dash
. well
there really is something wrong with her."
A light went off in Spike's head. "You think we should write Princess Celestia about this?"
Twilight smiled. "Great idea, Spike! She'll know how to help for sure! Take this down, please."
She began dictating while Spike captured her every word with his quill.
Dear Princess Celestia,
I regret to inform you this is not my next report on the magic of friendship. That report will be sent in good time as scheduled.
This letter is to inform you of an apparent emergency regarding one of my closest friends, Rainbow Dash.
It seems as though Rainbow thinks she is a boy pony, while she is clearly a girl. I've went through the entire library here in Ponyville, unable to find any information pertaining to the illness she has described. I am concerned that perhaps she has been cursed, or struck with a mind-altering illness, but without the proper medical or psychological knowledge, it is impossible for me to tell what exactly is wrong with her.
I've never heard of anything like this before. I assume it is a very rare thing to come across.
I request your speedy reply, divulging any information you can provide that will prove beneficial to my friend, Rainbow Dash.
Your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle
Spike rolled up the scroll, and with a powerful, yet elegant blast of his fire breath, sent the letter to The Princess.
He looked over to Twilight. "Do you think Princess Celestia will be able to help Rainbow Dash?"
Twilight walked over to the window, gazing up at the cloudy sky. "I hope so, Spike."
I hope so."

The Association of Race, Socioeconomic Status, and Health Insurance Status With the Prevalence of Ov
Objectives. We examined the effect of race, socioeconomic status, and health insurance status on the prevalence of overweight among children and adolescents.
Methods. We studied an observational cohort from the 1996 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Household Component.
Results. In the younger group, both Black and Latino children had a greater likelihood of being overweight compared with White children. Among the adolescent group, Latinos and Asian/Pacific Islanders were more likely to be over
Racial/Ethnic Differences in Influenza Vaccination Coverage in High-Risk Adults

Methods. We analyzed data on influenza vaccination in 7655 adults with high-risk conditions, using data from the 1999 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). We stratified data by age and used multiple logistic regression to adjust for gender, education, income, employment, and health care access.
Results. After control for covariates, White patients with diabetes, chronic heart condition
A methodological note on modeling the effects of race: the case of psychological distress
Psychological distress is an important indicator of the mental well-being of the population. Findings regarding racial differences in distress are inconclusive but may represent an important pathway through which disparities exist across a number of physical health outcomes. We used data from the 1994 Minority Health Survey, a nationally representative multiracial/ethnic sample of adults in US households, to examine racial/ethnic differences in psychological distress (n = 3623). Our primary stud
Racial Differences in 30-Day Mortality for Pulmonary Embolism
Objectives. Previous studies reported a higher incidence of in-hospital mortality for Black patients who had pulmonary embolism than for White patients. We used a large statewide database to compare 30-day mortality (defined as death within 30 days from the date of latest hospital admission) for Black and White patients who were hospitalized because of pulmonary embolism.
Methods. The study cohort consisted of 15531 discharged patients who had been treated for pulmonary embolism at 186 Pennsylv

On quitting superhero comics
Like…I don't eat pork. I quit swine in '99. I could tear up some porkchops and bacon as a kid, but it wasn't a struggle to quit pork. I don't think back like "man, remember how good that porkchop was back in '97, second week a May?" But I do that with Spider-Man—the Return of the Goblin arc, his first meeting with Luke Cage, that time Betty Brant said something nice about him and he was like "Dang, i never noticed her before, but she's cute AND she's on my side" like a doggone teenaged idiot, Mary Jane going Sibyl to get a soap opera job and dodging stalkers…I can recite it chapter and verse. So cold turkey wasn't really an option, or rather, I wasn't in a position where cold turkey was feasible.On his Tumblr, David Brothers talks how hard and easy it was to give up reading Marvel and DC comics (edited version from his blog)

What do you care about a leggy dame in nylons?
You probably know of Paul Dini as the guy who, over the past 20 years brought to television Batman, the beloved DC's animated universe (with Bruce Timm) and Duck Dodgers (among many other things).
He's now working at Marvel after 20 years with Warner Brothers.
Speaking recently on Kevin Smith's podcast he claimed that executives are spurning female viewers because they believe girls and women don't buy superhero show related toys, which may go some way to explaining the Wonder Woman decision (previously). (via)
Dini's comments come at a time when many feel that the gender segregation of toys is regaining strength.

Superman is a good guy. More than that, Superman is the best guy.

Alan Moore and Superfolks
In 1977 Dial Press of New York published Robert Mayer's first novel, Superfolks. It was, amongst other things, a story of a middle-aged man coming to terms with his life, an enormous collection of 1970s pop-culture references, some now lost to the mists of time, and a satire on certain aspects of the comic superhero, but would probably be largely unheard of these days if it wasn't for the fact that it is regularly mentioned for its supposed influence on a young Alan Moore and his work, particularly on Watchmen, Marvelman, and his Superman story, Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?

Vertigo was originally an imprint for mature readers occult themed titles and creator owned work, though it has changed over the years with an adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo becoming the first Vertigo to receive TV advertising.

The Annotated "Crisis On Infinite Earths"
Crisis on Infinite Earths was a 12-issue comic book maxi-series published in 1985 and 1986 in which DC Comics condensed their multiverse into a single universe, thus "simplifying" and "improving" it. Whether they succeeded in that goal is a good question, and one I shan't address. Crisis is, however, incredibly important to understanding DC continuity, as well as being possibly the most significant crossover series of all time.

"iZombie will be the last time I'll ever write for DC... I decided quite some time ago, but waited until after the cancellation of my book was announced to discuss it.

Roberson's work at DC has included turning around Superman after J. Michael Straczynski left mid-story, iZombie and a spin-offs from Vertigo's Fables featuring Cinderella as a super spy. He is currently working on the creator owned Memorial, published by IDW.

What's Worse Than a Muslim Superhero? The Answer May Surprise You.
The most recent issue of Superman, 712, was supposed to have a certain storyline, but it seems at the last minute, DC Comics decided to nix that storyline and instead publish a five-year-old story about Krypto the Super-Dog. These sorts of things happen, but Comics Alliance opined (with some help from direct sources) that the change was due to DC not wanting to feature a Muslim superhero (the original story had Superman aiding "Sharif", a Muslim superhero.) The theory is, after the brouhahae surrounding the Muslim Batman and Superman renouncing his American citizenship, DC is hesitant to add any more fuel to the "DC hates America" fire.
"But," says comic-book muckraker Rich Johnston, "I have inside DC stories that are telling me the REAL reason the story got nixed." He claims it's not about Muslims, it's about...well, just see for yourself what it's allegedly really about.

Like Snopes, But For Comics.
Comic Book Urban Legends.

"Holy Queering of Pop Culture, Batman!"
"And on the rare occasion when nonwhite heroes were included, names like Black Panther and Black Lightning telegraphed the difference" (NYT). Nonwhite and non-traditional superheroes aren't new, but a "lesbian socialite" Batwoman is. How about "The Great Ten," a "Chinese government controlled superteam" also to be featured in the ongoing "52" Series from DC comics (an alternate superverse bereft of A-league stars like Batman and Superman)? When I was a kid, it was pretty shocking to know of at least one gay superhero (and a Canadian to boot), but I wasn't aware that there were actually so many. Of course, the irrepressible Stan Lee claims he created the first gay superhero in the persona of Pvt. Percival Pinkerton. (Previous mefi discussion of Pavitr Prabhakar, the "Indian Spiderman" here.)

The Oregon men's basketball team survived a month without its starting point guard, but it came at a cost: four Pac-12 losses.
The good news? Everyone in the conference has struggled, and the Ducks are still tied for first place in the league, with Arizona. The better news? Oregon's point guard, freshman Dominic Artis, is expected to make his return from a foot injury Thursday night against Oregon State.
PREVIOUSLY: Altman, Oregon want to finish what they've started
Artis averaged 10.2 points, 3.8 assists and 1.7 steals before suffering the foot injury that's sidelined him since Jan. 26. At the time of Artis' injury, Oregon was 18-2 and a perfect 7-0 in the Pac-12.
"We'll bring him back slowly," Oregon coach Dana Altman told USA TODAY Sports on Wednesday. "I don't anticipate that he'll play a lot of minutes (Thursday). …He hasn't had a lot of time on the court, so we're not going to overdo it."
Altman said Artis had recently been participating in individual workouts, but he didn't practice with the team until Monday.
PREDICTION: Seeding the NCAA tournament
PHOTOS: Eye-catching college basketball courts
In Artis' absence, junior guard Johnathan Loyd has played at the point. Loyd, who had only started four games this season prior to the injury, had his best performance of the season against Stanford last Saturday. He scored a season-high 15 points and had a career-high nine assists.
"We changed our style of play a little bit," Altman said. "Offensively, we weren't as explosive without Dominic. He's an offensive threat, and he shoots the ball well. Johnny's helped with defense; he's done a great job defensively. But our scoring went down.
Altman said his team averaged 76 points a game in conference play with Artis, and just 63 without. The Ducks went 5-4 during that stretch without Artis.
Oregon has three regular-season games left before the Pac-12 tournament begins -- pretty good timing to get their floor general back.
"Through November-December, he really got a feel of the offense so he was playing very well in January," Altman said. "He's just a complete player, and it'll be great to get him back."

On Splitter and rebounding
Got an email from a regular reader in response to this morning's E-N piece on Spurs rookie-to-be Tiago Splitter . He was writing to double-check (perhaps facetiously) if Splitter's rebounding numbers from the FIBA World Championships were "a typo." Yes, Splitter averaged 5.2 rebounds in six games in Istanbul. No, this is not an overwhelming […]

Betting on an RJ bounce-back (UPDATED)
By most analyses, the Spurs had a rather quiet offseason. They (finally) signed Tiago Splitter, they drafted James Anderson, they signed an Italian League sharpshooter named Gary Neal. And as far as new additions, that's it (so far). Certainly, the Spurs didn't create the buzz of last season's Richard Jefferson-Antonio McDyess summer.

Hampered by a strained hamstring dating to before the draft, and under the watchful eye of a team medical staff choosing to […]

First impressions of Splitter
From a national standpoint, Team USA's at-times sloppy 70-68 victory over Brazil on Monday was notable in that it kept the Americans undefeated in the FIBA World Championships. The San Antonio-centic storyline, however, was Tiago Splitter.

text: University of Maryland's Smith Business School is handing a free Blackberry to each student. The reason is that it wants to teach its business students at the Smith School learn to manage the 24/7 access to data and people they'll be expected to deal with as executives. Although we're all Blackberry fans, we're not too sure about the message this sends out to the students. Having a Blackberry doesn't mean you should be answering all emails as soon as they come in, even if it's at midnight. Got to show some restraint some time, if it's really important they will call.

HIV Targets Active Genes in Cells
La Jolla, CA – HIV selectively inserts itself into active areas of a host cell's genome, Salk Institute researchers have found for the first time. The fact that the virus hooks itself up to areas of the cell's genome that are busy expressing themselves may help explain why HIV can replicate, or reproduce itself, so rapidly. The findings are being published as the cover article in the Friday, August 23, issue of the journal Cell.
