If I had to pick one word to describe the premiere of Space Brothers, I think it would be "flawless".
OP: "Feel so Moon" by UNICORN
Watanabe Ayumu (who's also directing Nazo no Kanojo X) and A-1 Pictures seem to have hit the mark with an open, accessible and straightforward adaptation of Koyama Chuuya's award-winning manga.
Sawashiro Miyuki age 13, Hirata Hiroaki age 35) it was disaster, Japan's heartbreaking failure to qualify for the World Cup. In the case of younger brother Hibito (Sanpei Yuko age 10, Kenn age 32) it was triumph – Hideo Nomo's historic no-hitter against the Colorado Rockies (and this was before the humidor, when no-hitters in Colorado were an absurdity). The spirit of those events seems to cast a shadow on the brothers throughout their entire lives.
Flash forward to 2006, and the boys are off on what seem to be regular naturalist expeditions into the woods surrounding their suburban Tokyo home, recording the sounds of frogs and fish onto cassette tapes. Hibito sees something strange down by the river – a light in the sky – and literally carries his brother to the spot to show it to him. The strange light in the sky reveals itself to be a spinning disc of some sort, which shoots off towards the moon in a trail of light and disappears. Hibito promises on the spot that he'll become an astronaut and go to the moon, and Mutta – already a step behind despite his stated belief that big brothers should always be a step ahead of their little brothers – declares that he'll do the same, except he's going to Mars.
There's something very profound here, a statement about the way key events from our childhood shape us as adults. Mostly, though, this is a story of brotherhood – about the odd blend of love and rivalry that drives siblings forwards. It's worth nothing that though Hibito was three years younger he was apparently taller and stronger, even as the boys were pre-adolescent – and blonde, and better looking, and as it happens, more successful. When the story jumps to 2025 he's an astronaut, the Japanese member of a NASA mission to the moon. Mutta has graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering and designed award-winning cars, but he's just been fired for head-butting his boss when he insulted Hibito (a callback to Zinedine Zidane's red card for head-butting an Italian in the 2006 World Cup final). His dreams forgotten, Mutta returns to live with his kind but cynical parents (Tanaka Mayumi – "Monkey D. Luffy" – and Cho), blacklisted by the auto industry and forced to take demeaning jobs he soon quits. Until one day, Hibito recruits their mother to help him execute a plan…
There's an awful lot that works here, pretty much everything in fact. For starters, Hirata Hiroaki is a perfect choice for Mutta. The character and performance recall his brilliant portrayal of Kotetsu in Tiger & Bunny, and it's the sort of character we don't see much in anime – a grown man who's been kicked around by life but had big dreams and a good heart, and a real wittiness too. There's also a terrific wittiness to the whole episode, great little moments like the scene in MacDonald's that has fun with Mutta's brillo-head and the strawberry scene at his parents' table. I also loved the way the story moved seamlessly between the past and the present, showing us how the boy remains in the man, yet how much has changed. It appears that this time-leaping will continue, as we see episodes of the past and how they impact the present, and I look forward to that.
It was certainly no surprise that this first episode was as good as it was, given the sheer unanimity of praise for the manga. It's a great luxury knowing that you have 51 episodes – a luxury for the viewer in knowing they'll have time to bond with the characters, and for the creative team in knowing they don't have to rush to tell their story. I love the mix of humor and sadness here, an appreciation for what we lose when he grow up but also a sense of hope that dreams are never gone as long as there's someone who believes in them – and in us. I think Uchuu Kyoudai has the potential to be a truly great series, and Mutta Nanba one of the best characters of the year.

Orions Camp Agawam takes a rest
November 28, 2012
Effective January 1, Boy Scout Camp Agawam will close its gates. That's the bad news. The good news is that the camp will not be sold and very well could return to operation.
The sign outside of Camp Agawam may never see visitors again. Photo by L. Farrell
Due to declining participation and funding, officials from the Great Lakes Council reluctantly made the decision to consolidate scout camps back in September. Their decision reduced the number of scouting camps in the state from sixteen to six. Unfortunately, Camp Agawam (1301 W Clarkston Rd) was on the list.
"I don't think anyone that enjoys the outdoors and understands the value of outdoor education is pleased when you have to close a camp. It was decision that was not lightly taken," Scout Executive/CEO Richard Fisher said.
Cub Scouts in Orion Township will now go to the D-bar-A Scout Ranch near Metamora, and Boy Scouts will have the option of going to the D-Bar A or other camps in Michigan.
There are about 25,000 scouts in the three Detroit Metro area counties. The scout camps in this area are frequented by less than 50 percent of these scouts. Staffing, program and equipment costs at these camps plus under-capacity usage equals a need for consolidation.
Michigan scout camps are funded annually by family and friends of scouting, some corporate support, and the annual scouting popcorn sale. A small percentage of revenue is supplied from operational grants and trust income. These sources have dried up recently.
Fisher said as the regional economic situation improves and as more families move in to the area, he hopes revenue will go up along with membership.
"Our goal," Fisher said, "is to increase participation throughout the state so that there will be a need to open these camps at a future date."
Until then, Camp Agawam will remain Scout property. There are no plans to sell or otherwise dispose of the property, Fisher insisted. "The decision has been made that it will not be sold," he said.
In the meantime, current caretaker Carr will be retained and will be responsible for making sure the property is kept up.
"It is disappointing that we have to rest this camp," said Fisher, "but I am hopeful that through strong membership drives and quality programs that the camp will be open at some time in the future."

Road dust prompts safety concerns of resident

Tim Crain on dusty Granger Road. (

June 08, 2011 -
Brandon Twp.- Tim Crain has had it with the condition of Granger Road.
The potholes and washboarding are bad enough, but what really puts him over the edge is the dust. With the windows closed and the air conditioning on at his residence in the 1400 block of Granger, within a couple hours he can still get a film of dust on the stovetop that he can write his name in.
"We need to talk about safety," said Crain while addressing the township board at their June 6 meeting. "You can't see (through the dust). It's an issue when you have to wait to pull out of the driveway."
Crain said recently there was a cyclist coming up the hill near his home. A vehicle passed the cyclist, leaving a cloud of dust in its wake. A driver coming from the other direction would never have been able to see the cyclist, he noted, and the dust issue could easily result in a catastrophe one day.
Supervisor Kathy Thurman said the township offices have received "a lot" of calls recently from residents complaining about the state of the roads. During the board meeting, she read a statement from The Road Commission for Oakland County that cited large amounts of rain this spring as well as limited financial resources as the primary source of poor road conditions.

However, Crain said that neither the weather nor money is the problem.
"It's an issue with scheduling and common sense," he said. "Why would you grade when it will be several days before chloride is applied? There needs to be better communication between Oakland County and the chloriding company."
The Road Commission for Oakland County is responsible for grading all the county-owned roads in the township, paid for out of gas taxes and vehicle registration fees. RCOC also chlorides primary gravel roads at no extra charge. In Brandon, the primary gravel roads are Hadley, Sashabaw, N. Baldwin, and Oakhill.
The township can contract with RCOC to chloride other local roads like Granger, but for the past two years, the township has contracted with private companies in order to save money.
Craig Bryson, public information officer for Oakland County, said this is part of the problem.
"We promote to the townships that they ought to go with us for dust control, because when we do both the grading and chloriding, we coordinate very carefully, because we do all of it," he said. "We can't do that when there is a private company doing the chloriding...The challenge is that these things change day to day. We may have a tentative plan to grade on a specific day, but if a culvert fails, we need to switch our road crews. A lot of what we do is responding to external forces."
When the RCOC was providing the chloride applications, it was done immediately after they graded the road. The timing is critical, because grading levels and compresses the surface of the road and chloride helps keep the material compacted. If the road is graded and there is a time lapse of even just a day or two before chloride is applied, the road can be in poor condition again. Bryson said it is much less productive to chloride the road days later.
"I'm not saying the private sector can't do a good job, but the coordination is important and it is difficult to coordinate with someone outside the agency," Bryson said.
This year, the township has contracted with Road Maintenance Corporation, based in Leonard, for five chloride applications, at a cost of $65,155. Thurman said the township is saving about $15,000 going with the private company instead of RCOC for chloride. Last year, the township used Wilkinson Corporation for three applications.
"There is always going to be a lapse of time between county grading and contracted private company chloriding, because the county can send (chloride) tankers out to follow the graders," Thurman said. "Road Maintenance Corporation just started. They had a tanker break down Monday, but it appears Road Maintenance can get tankers out quicker than Wilkinson did last year. The problem last year and this year is not the coordination, it's the weather."
Crain said he doesn't want his road any better than other roads, just equally as good. He notes that Allen, Kent and Granger east of Sashabaw are all roads in better shape than his part of Granger Road.
"I just want this road to look like others— hardpacked and relatively smooth... We can make excuses for the incompetent roads, but at the end of the day, they still need to be graded and chlorided. It's rained more than it has since Noah and the ark, but the grader is still coming up and down the road. If it's hardpacked, leave it alone."

Maje just announced that Alexa Chung is starring in its Fall 2012 campaign. The ads will officially debut in the September issues of various publications and these two pretty pictures have already hit the interwebs.
Shot by Glen Luchford, each image features the model/television presenter/designer from the shoulders up with rumpled hair and minimal makeup. No actual clothes are visible—save for a tiny glimpse of her textured sweater—but we are pretty sure we'd love everything she has on.
According to WWD, the photographs were taken in Paris at the Porte des Lilas subway station and aim to "evoke a Sixties film heroine"—a reoccurring theme for the label, which launched a line if T-shirts printed with Brigitte Bardot's face earlier this spring. What do you think of Alexa's latest gig? Does the it-Brit make you want to buy an outfit you can't actually see?

- Description
This is the printed version of the Gazetteer of Markets and Fairs to 1516 which is available online. It is a catalogue that aims to provide systematic information regarding the establishment and operation of markets and fairs in England and Wales from c.900 onwards. Every reference to a market or fair in the source material has been recorded. This includes both prescriptive (generally the oldest, which were held by established custom) and granted markets and fairs, which were usually held by virtue of a royal charter.
The English gazetteer is arranged by county, and then by place in alphabetical order; the Welsh gazetteer is arranged by place. Standard information is provided for each place, including an eight figure grid reference; whether the place was a medieval borough or had a mint in the Anglo-Saxon or Anglo-Norman periods (it is assumed that such places operated as centres of trade and had a market); its assessed value in the 1334 lay subsidy; whether the market or fair survived in the sixteenth century; and references to fuller accounts of its history. Over 2,300 places that had a market and/or a fair are listed listed.
The Gazetteer is a major reference work which will become a primary research tool for historians, historical geographers, economists, archaeologists and others. It will be of particular use to those undertaking local studies. The appeal of the Gazetteer will extend beyond those interested in the medieval period, as the markets and fairs established at this time formed the core of the network which survived into the sixteenth century and beyond.

Hype Energy Shot Marionberry flavor
Hype Energy Drink
BevNET Review
Last Updated: 3/18/2009 5:04 PM
The Marionberry flavor of Hype's Energy Shot line is a pleasant tasting drink that's sweetened with sugar and sucralose. The fruit flavor is very much on par with a cranberry flavor, delivering sweet and tart notes that make this shot very easy to consume. There's a fair amount of kick to this shot, with caffeine, taurine, B vitamins, ginseng, guarana, and glucuronolactone as the functional cocktail. They don't disclose how much caffeine is in the drink, but based on flavor profile, we'd guess that it's in the 125mg – 150mg range. Packaging is a white 2.5 ounce bottle, which, based on the almost exclusive use of black bottles for this style bottle, makes the product stand out. So does the metallic label, which gives the product some extra pop amongst its sea of competition. Overall, this was our favorite of the two Hype Energy Shots – and one that we'd certainly reach for again.

|Early increase in autoantibodies against human oxidized low-density lipoprotein in hypertensive patients after blood pressure control.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 19910928 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: Oxidized lipoproteins and antioxidized low-density lipoprotein (anti-oxLDL) antibodies (Abs) have been detected in plasma in response to blood pressure (BP) elevation, suggesting the participation of the adaptive immune system. Therefore, treatment of hypertension may act on the immune response by decreasing oxidation stimuli. However, this issue has not been addressed. Thus, we have here analyzed anti-oxLDL Abs in untreated (naive) hypertensive patients shortly after initiation of antihypertensive therapeutic regimens.
METHODS: Titers of anti-oxLDL Abs were measured in subjects with recently diagnosed hypertension on stage 1 (n = 94), in primary prevention of coronary disease, with no other risk factors, and naive of antihypertensive medication at entry. Subjects were randomly assigned to receive perindopril, hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), or indapamide (INDA) for 12 weeks, with additional perindopril if necessary to achieve BP control. Abs against copper-oxidized LDL were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
RESULTS: Twelve-week antihypertensive treatment reduced both office-based and 24-h ambulatory BP measurements (P < 0.0005). The decrease in BP was accompanied by reduction in thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) (P < 0.05), increase in anti-oxLDL Ab titers (P < 0.005), and improvement in flow-mediated dilation (FMD) (P < 0.0005), independently of treatment. Although BP was reduced, we observed favorable changes in anti-oxLDL titers and FMD.
CONCLUSIONS: We observed that anti-oxLDL Ab titers increase after antihypertensive therapy in primary prevention when achieving BP targets. Our results are in agreement with the concept that propensity to oxidation is increased by essential hypertension and anti-oxLDL Abs may be protective and potential biomarkers for the follow-up of hypertension treatment.

Alcoa Foundation will donate 60 recycling bins for Brenham campus
Blinn College has won a grant worth roughly $6,600 to aid the school in its recycling efforts on campus.
Alcoa Foundation recently announced that Blinn is one of 33 colleges and universities across the country to receive a total of 20,000 recycling bins. Blinn will receive 60 recycling bins for use in its campus recycling programs.
Alcoa Foundation's recycling bin grant program helps schools boost their results during its annual RecycleMania competition while expanding recycling throughout the year. Blinn entered the national competition for the first time this year.
"Our continued support of RecycleMania is designed to achieve one thing: dramatically higher recycling rates," said Beth Schmitt, director of recycling programs for Alcoa. "Through the recycling bin grant program, we want to encourage a social shift toward recycling on college campuses. We want to show that recycling is not only the right thing to do, it's the smart thing to do, and it's something they should be in the habit of doing long after they leave college."
To be eligible for the grant, Alcoa asked Blinn to participate in RecycleMania and document its current recycling efforts, weighing the beverage containers, paper and cardboard that the school recycles. Alcoa can then use Blinn's recycling data to help the school improve its future recycling efforts, which are expected to surge with the addition of Alcoa's bins.
"This grant will allow us to maximize our recycling efforts and place recycling bins at every building on campus," said Geology Instructor Michael Dalman, who oversees the volunteer recycling collection. "It's going to make a tremendous difference."
RecycleMania is a friendly competition that aims to change behavior about recycling and raise awareness about waste reduction programs on campuses. During the competition, which concludes March 31, colleges and universities vie for top awards in nine categories to see which schools recycle the most on a per capita basis, produce the least amount of waste and recycle the largest percentage of their overall waste. In 2011, 630 colleges and universities participated in the challenge, collecting more than 91 million pounds of recyclables and compostable organics. Alcoa estimates that such recycling kept 127,553 metric tons of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
Blinn's recycling efforts are part of the College's Service Learning program, which combines community service with classroom instruction or student club activities. Service Learning programs involve students in activities that address local needs while developing their academic or professional skills.

Restarting the New Year: Making a Will
We all like to think we will live forever, but we know it isn't true. But for many, just the act of considering making a will feels tantamount to admitting our own mortality. The oncoming year is a good reason to take stock of what you have, decide what happens if you are hit by a car tomorrow, and get it all down in writing. But if you are like most folks, you aren't sure where to start. Here is a list of the basics to get you organized before you make the trip to the lawyers, to save on those expensive hours.
It is important to look at all your assets when making a will and the best way to start is make a list. Decide on what you want going to charity and what you want to have go to your spouse, children and others. Also, if you are married remember that both you and your spouse should make separate wills. Because we can't predict the future always name an alternate beneficiary as well.
An executor is the person who will make sure that your will is carried out according to your wishes. Choose wisely and make sure they know you have named them in your will as your executor.
Guardians for Children
If you have children that are still minors when making your will, name someone to be their guardians. This is especially important if you have your children named to inherit property in your will. Often the guardian is the oldest child if they are no longer a minor or a close relative, but it doesn't have to be someone who is related. As with the role of executor, make sure you discuss this with them and let them know first.
Get Legal Advice Before Signing
Of course, the final act of making your will is ensuring you have signed your will before two witnesses. But before you do so, you might want to go over everything you are considering in your will with legal counsel. These days, so many of us go to the web for everything that it might be tempting to just use a form from an online service. But before making that Will a legal document, it is worth the time and money to have someone with a legal background check it over for you first.
Change is Inevitable
Life is full of changes and it helps to have legal counsel when we are looking at big changes in our lives such as making your will. If you are considering drawing up a will, filing for divorce or perhaps considering bankruptcy get the legal help you need first. We are always happy to discuss your situation first to help you discover the best approach. Contact our offices or visit our website and find out what steps you need to take before making those big changes in life.

What is the biggest change you have seen in your area in recent years?
With the reduction of state funding, all of our school districts are looking for ways to cut costs without sacrificing safety. First Student has seen this as an opportunity to work even more closely with our partners to identify savings so they have more resources to bring into the classroom.Chris Pedde Area General Manager, South Region
One of the biggest changes I have seen involves technology and how it has improved safety. First Student is an industry leader. Our buses are equipped with the latest safety features, including technology such as Child Check-Mate andZonar GPS. We continue to build upon our safety culture with innovative programs and the latest equipment.Colin MichaelArea General Manager, Atlantic Region
I have noticed that school districts have become increasingly more cost conscious. I am grateful First Student is responding with the means to control cost while also providing the highest level of safe, reliable and efficient transportation. We are able to capture the savings and ultimately pass them along to our school districts. We are able to help them create value by putting more of their budget directly into the schools.Michael A. Shedor Area General Manager, Central Region
Many school districts that may have been hesitant to partner with a transportation provider are now looking at using First Student as a way to bring more resources back into the classroom without sacrificing safety. Our economies of scale provide access to new parts, fuel, buses, etc. at rates an individual district is unable to realize. In many cases, a school district can upgrade or replace an aging fleet with new buses without making the capital investment. Scott Turney Area General Manager, Great Lakes Region
Due to state funding concerns, school districts are feeling the need to look at all cost-cutting measures, including route reductions, reducing service days and putting business out for bid. So we work closely with our partners to identify savings so they can funnel the resources back into the classroom without sacrificing safety. Van Criddle Area General Manager, Northwest Region

New London — They came in droves and left with arms filled, car trunks stuffed and truck beds piled high.
Teaching professionals, and later the general public, were invited into St. Mary Star of the Sea School Friday for the sale of desks and chairs, bookcases and bulletin boards, beakers and microscopes, to help clean out the 115-year-old school that shut its doors last spring.
"It is sad,'' said Samantha Batch of Waterford, who taught for seven years at the school, which her brother and sister attended as children. "I did sneak away to see my old classroom.''
She stood in the second-floor library, holding a book she found written by first-graders in Kennett, Mo., about the day after Sept. 11, 2001. She ran into another former teacher, Dominica Alicea of New London, who now works part-time at Jennings School.
"This is like my home,'' Alicea said.
Batch said teachers were notified just 12 days before the school closed for good.
"We were flabbergasted,'' she said.
The Diocese of Norwich announced the closure in May, citing financial problems. The school had 115 students in kindergarten through eighth grade.
But Batch, who came to buy a desk for her newborn son, was happy Friday to wander the halls looking for bargains on books and school supplies that she intends to share with relatives who also are teachers.
"We used to support the school in so many ways,'' said Batch's mother, Ann Sullivan of Groton, who was stacking items on top of a desk.
Inside the front door of the school, Alice Schroeder sat behind a metal desk that was marked for the sale, accepting cash and checks.
She and her husband, David, and fellow parishioners of St. Mary Star of the Sea Church, Peggy Warnton and Victor Abreu, organized the two-day sale.
"The school closed and we all thought, 'What are we going to do?'" Schroeder said. "We went through a mourning period and then we decided the best thing we could do was clean out the school and get it ready for another use.''
The volunteers went through years paperwork, keeping some but shredding enough documents to fill 41 construction-size plastic bags.
By 1 p.m. Friday, when the public was invited in, a steady stream of people picked books, science supplies, computer monitors and keyboards.
Claire Szeker of New London, who works for a Joshua Center program, found a dozen books and a metal filing case, spending about $30.
"It's better than buying them at a bookstore or Office Depot,'' she said.
The school nurse at New London's Regional Multicultural Magnet School found a physician's scale for $25 and a bulletin board for her office.
Rebekah Kepple of Stonington paid $200 for a soapstone lab table, which she intends to turn into a kitchen table.
A man who did not want to give his name said he came to the sale "mostly to be nosy.'' But he left with a globe, a paperback edition of "Huckleberry Finn" and a statue of Mary.
By mid-afternoon, Schroeder said she was overwhelmed by the number of people and the amount of money she was collecting. All the money will go to St. Mary's Church, she said.
"When we started, it was more about getting the school cleaned out,'' she said. "Now it's about the money."

Qualcomm 28nm Snapdragon S4 pops up in benchmarks
updated 01:20 pm EST, Mon January 30, 2012
Qualcomm S4 gets early NenaMark 2 benchmark tests
Benchmark NenaMark 2 test results of the upcoming 28nm Snapdragon S4 processors reveal fairly strong performance. The device the chip was on isn't identified, however, but it is likely a seven-inch tablet as the resolution is typical of such devices, at 1024x600. It ran on the 1.5GHz MSM8960 processor with Adreno 225 graphics and scored 54.90 on the test.
The unit tested ran on Android 4.0.3 and compares to a Galaxy S II smartphone's score of 46.2. It had a lower resolution of 800x480, however, and the Mali-400 GPU, which is considered by many to be among the most powerful available.
We had a chance to play with S4-powered tablets at CES and came away impressed, although these early devices ran with short battery life and were test devices. [via GSMArena]
