|Sound Four [1]
Sound Four (音隠れの忍四人衆, Otogakure no Shinobi Yonin Shū, Literally meaning: Hidden Sound Shinobi Four People)

|Team Info
The Sound Four were Orochimaru's elite bodyguards, though they are technically five despite Sakon and Ukon counting as one entity because of their their kekkei genkai. Seeing their opponents as inferior to themselves, each member was given a cursed seal. The four were reluctantly forced to accept Kimimaro in their ranks when he single handily defeated them all, their group temporary called the Sound Five until Kimimaro's illness kept him from participating normally as the Sound Four supported Orochimaru during the Invasion of Konoha.
When Orochimaru sent the Sound Four to bring him Sasuke Uchiha, Jirōbō and Kidōmaru were respectively killed by Chōji Akimichi and Neji Hyūga when they and their team were deployed to bring Sasuke back to Konoha. Sakon and his brother overwhelmed Kiba Inuzuka while Tayuya almost killed Shikamaru before the remaining Oto ninja were killed off when their opponents received aid from Kankurō and Temari. Though he joined the fray to ensure the mission succeeds, Kimimaro died from his illness as he almost killed Rock Lee and Gaara. It would be revealed years later during the Fourth Shinobi World War that Kabuto Yakushi assimilated DNA samples from the Sound Four and Kimimaro, using Sakon and Ukon's Attack of the Twin Demons ability to create a shape-shifting construct from his body to use the abilities of the entire Sound Five.
In the anime, the Sound Four are reincarnated by Kabuto as a part of a "wish granted" by Orochimaru, from a promise that they would become "the ones who seek vengeance" after their deaths. Kabuto took advantage of this not only for them to serve as test subjects on how the cursed seals function with reincarnated ninja, but also as a diversion to slow down the remaining Allied Shinobi Forces while he prepared his trump card.[3] Believing they were all brought back by Orochimaru as a reward, the Sound Four engaged their respective Sasuke Retrieval Team opponents in battle again. Though their opponents got stronger since the last time they fought, the Sound Four trapped them with the Space–Time Technique Formula: Underworld Turnover technique so they can have their revenge even if they are somehow defeated. However, Shikamaru tricks the Sound Four into embracing their undying hatred so Naruto can find the barrier and destroy it. Denied their revenge, the Sound Four attack Naruto before he easily defeats them as they are sent back to the afterlife.
Despite being young, all four of them are strong enough to become Orochimaru's bodyguards, and were all talented with barrier and sealing techniques. In the anime, Shikamaru stated that each members' prowess was of jōnin-level.[4] Shortly after their introduction during the invasion of Konoha, they used Four Violet Flames Battle Encampment to create a box-like barrier, that causes anything that touches it to burst into flames. When the group later fetched Sasuke, they used the Four Black Fog Battle Formation and Dark Sealing Method to protect Sasuke from harm. As the group later rested, they set up a Barrier Encampment Method. Each member of the Sound Four also had a cardinal direction associated with them; this was probably a reference to their positions when performing techniques as a group: Jirōbō of the South, Kidōmaru of the East, Sakon and Ukon of the West, and Tayuya of the North.[5] In the anime, they were also capable of using the Space–Time Technique Formula: Underworld Turnover.[3]
As with most of his powerful followers, Orochimaru branded them with different cursed seals, which greatly enhanced their individual abilities.
- The recurring symbol on the Sound Four's tunics was the yin-yang, though the yin colour (black) was missing. The missing yin represented imbalance, alluding to their evil natures and to that of the seals, preventing harmony in life.
- Jirōbō and Sakon (and Ukon) specialised in close-quarter combat, while Kidōmaru and Tayuya specialised in long range combat. Kimimaro was balanced in both types.
- Each member of the Sound Four tends to have a flaw in their personality that slows down the team: Jirōbō gets hungry and stays behind to feed, Kidōmaru tends to play around with his opponents if they interest him, Sakon can easily lose his temper and showcases the fact that he is the strongest of the four by not stopping until his opponents are dead, and Tayuya has a "doesn't want-to-lose" mentality.[6]
- Kidōmaru was the only member to wear an Oto forehead protector.
- The Sound Four were playable characters in Naruto: Gekitō Ninja Taisen! 4, but they only appeared with the Second Stage of the Cursed Seal. Later, the Sound Four were playable characters in the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3, 4 and 5 with both regular and Cursed Seal forms playable.

Heather Corinna replies:
It feels as if there is a tiny penis inside of my vagina. When I took my first trip to the gyno, she didn't say anything was weird... so what is it?
Most likely, it's just your cervix.
The cervix is the end of your uterus, or the beginning, depending on how you look at it, and the cervix and cervical canal jut into the back of the vagina. When you're not highly aroused (arousal usually will pull the cervix further back), you can usually feel it by placing your finger inside, and given that it is a bit tubular, and also has a small opening on the end, it's easy to see why you might think it resembles a penis.
Next time you're at the gynecologist, you can even ask him or her to take out a mirror when they're doing your speculum exam so you can get a look at it: it's a pretty cool thing to do, and will likely clear things up for you.

BEAST Editor's Trial Begins Wednesday, May 16th
The first thing I'm going to do in jail is break a dude's face. Just wreck it. Savage dentistry. Picasso nose. Blood fountain. According to MSNBC's horrific weekend programming, that's what I need to do to gain respect. And it probably won't hurt to constantly mumble to myself about wanting to "get my knife wet." But prison won't be all bad. Right? Many fine books have been written in the clink. Maybe I'll finally quit smoking and get in shape. Or maybe I'll get shived from behind and bleed out on the shower floor. (more…)

Corticosteroids for Psoriasis
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
Corticosteroid creams or ointments of various strengths may be used to treat psoriasis. If a milder form doesn't work, a more potent (stronger) cream will be prescribed.
Corticosteroid creams, lotions, ointments, and solutions are classified in order of potency: class I (the most potent) to class VIII (the least potent).
To treat psoriasis, creams are applied once or twice a day.
As symptoms improve, the doctor may recommend a milder cream or may recommend that you apply it less often (for example, weekend use only).
The dosage is sometimes decreased to prevent developing drug tolerance. Or the doctor may rotate a corticosteroid with other medicines. For example, you may use a corticosteroid on the weekend but another topical (applied to the skin) medicine during the week.
How It Works
Corticosteroids applied to the skin (topical) reduce inflammation, itching, and the growth of skin cells.
Why It Is Used
Corticosteroids applied to the skin are the most commonly used medicines to treat psoriasis.
Topical corticosteroid medicines are used for:
- Mild to moderate psoriasis (patches cover less than 10% of the skin surface, or less than the skin area on one arm and hand).
- Patches that are resistant to treatment, especially on the hands and feet.
- Erupting guttate psoriasis (a type with many small patches).
Milder corticosteroid creams may be used on the face, groin, and armpits and on guttate patches. Stronger creams may be used on chronic plaque-type psoriasis.
Corticosteroid pills are rarely used because of potential serious side effects with long-term use. Corticosteroid injections are often not practical if a large area of skin is affected.
How Well It Works
How well the product works depends on how strong it is, what kind of cream or ointment is used, where it is applied, and how much of it is absorbed into the skin. Medium-strength and high-strength corticosteroids are not used where the skin is thin, such as on the face or the genitals. The use of corticosteroids is limited by their side effects and short-term effectiveness.
Corticosteroid creams are effective for short-term relief of psoriasis.1 Use of corticosteroid creams turns thick, red skin plaque into thin, flat areas that are more comfortable and less visible.
High-strength products are effective on areas of thick skin, such as knees and elbows.
Side Effects
Side effects of corticosteroid creams include:
- Thinning of the skin, stretch marks, skin color (pigmentation) changes, or easy bruising with higher strength corticosteroids.
- Symptoms of psoriasis that return quickly when the medicine is stopped.
- Local burning, itching, irritation, dryness, or redness of the skin after the creams are used.
To limit serious side effects, your doctor may recommend that you:
- Have regular follow-up visits with a doctor, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant to make sure you are using the medicine properly.
- Do not apply more than 100 g (4 oz) of a class III or lower (more potent) corticosteroid in a month.
- Spend a period of time each year using another treatment, such as tar products or ultraviolet (UV) light exposure.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
As symptoms improve, your doctor may recommend a milder cream or may recommend that you apply it less often (such as weekend use only).
High-strength corticosteroids are used for short lengths of time to reduce the risk of side effects.
Corticosteroids taken by mouth (oral) often lead to severe rebound psoriasis (psoriasis that returns and is worse than before treatment) when you suddenly stop taking the drug. Oral corticosteroids are rarely used to treat psoriasis.
Occlusive dressings (such as DuoDerm) moisturize the skin and reduce the redness, thickness, and amount of scaling of the skin. They help remove scale and increase the effectiveness of corticosteroid creams. But occlusive dressings also increase the risk that the drug will be absorbed into the body and disrupt the body's hormonal system. Regular follow-up with a doctor is needed whenever these products are used with corticosteroid creams.
Exfoliative psoriasis, in which the rash covers the entire body, may occur after long-term use of high-dose corticosteroid creams or pills.

text: Ten years ago in 2027, the city of Freeport was on the verge of collapse. The inefficient and under manned police forces were losing in the long hard battle against crime. The city needed help, but the overburdened government could no longer cope with maintaining peace on the streets. The government proposed a bill giving individual corporations the right to form their own police/security forces and they in turn would provide protection for the companies and citizens of the cities. This bill was passed and a new order of law enforcement was birthed. Several well respected sec-forces were established and one hard hitting group calling themselves HARDCORPS helped lead the way in crime prevention and elimination. The chaos slowly subsides as the sec-forces bring peace and order back to the city.

You all asked for lower prices per card and a way for newbies to spend a small amount of cash to get a deck of low-rarity cards. I figured an auction house would help move towards that request.
In order to add the auction house without breaking the game we'll need to re-work a couple things first. The biggest prerequisite in making an auction house viable is increasing the worth of fight money. For example, a Beginners Pack would cost either 500G or 500FM.
This means the whole reward system would have to be revamped. The old FM rewards would be killed and the gran rewards would be replaced with FM rewards. For example, winning a battle would give a FM reward instead of a gran reward. Newbies would be given FM for completing a tutorial instead of gran.
Gran would only be able to obtained via USD (and can be easily converted to FM).
Old fight money would be converted to point cards (rounded up).
The reason for this is simple - in order to make the auction house not break the game all virtual currency that goes through the auction house will have to have originated via USD. If we don't do this we open up exploits.
Example: User's main puts up a one star rarity card for 300 gran. User makes an alt and finishes the tutorial. User's alt purchase the card for well over its worth. User then makes a bot to automate this and get infinite gran.
Would anyone have a problem with this change so that we can make the auction house possible?

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (Sports Network) - Angel Pagan's fourth-inning, bases-loaded walk was the lone score, and Barry Zito tossed seven scoreless innings, as the defending World Series champion San Francisco Giants topped St. Louis, 1-0, in the opener of a three-game weekend set.
Zito (1-0) surrendered only three hits and walked three while fanning four for the Giants, who raised their second championship banner in three seasons in front of a sellout crowd on Friday.
Sergio Romo tossed a perfect ninth for his third save.
Jake Westbrook (0-1) was the hard-luck loser, charged with an unearned run and six walks on six hits in 6 2/3 frames for the Cardinals, who have lost three of four to start the year.

North Carolina's unemployment rate increased slightly in December as the size of the labor force also increased.
The state Commerce Department said Friday the rate was 9.2 percent in December, compared with 9.1 percent in November. That's down from 10.4 percent in December 2011.
Overall, North Carolina's rate dropped in 2012. The state started the year with a 10.2 percent rate last January.
The labor force also grew by about 17,000 in December.
Meanwhile, weekly applications for unemployment benefits increased in North Carolina for the week ending Jan. 5, even as applications dropped sharply nationally to a five-year low.
Applications increased by nearly 14,000 because of layoffs in textiles, business services, construction, furniture and transportation equipment.

Each week we scour the web for insightful articles to share with the Founder Institute network.
This week's top articles include advice on building your brand, growth hacking, fundraising with AngelList, and one blogger's thoughts on imitation and building a better product.
Check out our must read articles for the week of April 22- 28:
|Richard Branson on Convincing Investors to Fund Your Tech Startup
By Richard Branson
|Entrepreneur Richard Branson regularly shares his business experience and advice with readers. Ask him a question and your query might be the inspiration for a future column.
|How to Build a Brand Experience for Customers
By Jim Joseph
|The following is the third in a bi-monthly series in which marketing expert Jim Joseph will show entrepreneurs on a small-business budget how to apply marketing strategies used by big brands.
Marketing is all about the kind of experience you deliver to your customers with each and every interaction. The more compelling the experience, the faster you will build brand loyalty. In fact, the experience you build becomes your brand in your customers' minds.
|Want to be a world-class growth hacker? Then get out of the building!
By Gagan Biyani
|I've spent the last two years learning everything I can about "growth hacking." I co-run the Growth Hackers Conference with Erin Turner, led efforts to build Udemy's user base, and consulted/advised companies like Lyft, Wedding Party, TenderTree and Sokikom. Over that time, I've worked with some amazing marketers. Recently, we've been discussing a new "formula" for growth hacking that has helped us achieve extraordinary results.
|Want To Raise A Million Bucks? Here's What You'll Need
By Greg Kumparak
|So, you've built yourself a nice little product. Maybe you've raised a small friends-and-family round; maybe you're still bootstrappin' on your own. Either way, now you're looking to raise at least a million dollars to help with the next steps.
While there's no perfect formula for stuff like this, these stats from AngelList's Ash Fontana are a pretty good indication of the metrics you should be aiming for.
|Who Cares If It's Been Tried Before?
By Elad Gil
|When Dropbox launched, there were at least half a dozen other "online storage" businesses in existence. The Apple iPod entered a market litered with crappy MP3 players. Google was famously the Nth Internet search engine. Stripe launched into a market crowded with Braintree and Paypal, and before that Authorize.net and others. Uber was not the first way you could order a taxi, although their spin on black cars was unique. Facebook was yet another social network in a market "saturated" by Myspace, Friendster, Orkut, Bebo, Hi5 and others.

The perfect blend of protection and grip.
Described by Louis Garneau as the "perfect all-weather" gloves, the new Course Attacks were built to handle a variety of adverse riding conditions. The gloves were constructed with a blend of materials that provide exceptional water-resistance, insulating warmth, and a secure grip on the bars and levers.
For the Course Attack gloves' uppers, Garneau chose to apply its Sismik softshell fabric. This material was used for the back of the hands, as it's Garneau's lightest wind- and water-resistant fabric. The multi-section palms were treated with Pittards WR100X leather, which is known for providing a comfortable, smooth feel against the palms, as well as delivering a secure grip through its articulated paneling construction.
Garneau's patented Progressive padding was also added to the palm area, which reduces pressure on the ulnar and median nerves by incorporating three different thicknesses of padding. Rounding out the palms are Garneau's light palm venting areas, known as its Ergo Air concept, which promote airflow and circulation throughout the gloves.
Stretch-fit elastic cuffs extend up the wrists longer than most full-finger glove designs, which ensures a maximum coverage and an increased protection against wind and water infiltration. The Course Attacks were finished off with reflective elements throughout in order to increase your visibility to motorists in low-light conditions.
The Louis Garneau Course Attack Gloves are available in the color Black and in five sizes from Small to XX-Large.

Great Gloves!
- Gender:Male
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
- Fit:True to size
These are really nice gloves. Not too bulky, yet surprisingly warm. I've worn them down to the mid-40's and they were fine. Great dexterity, perfect fit, just enough padding and again, surprisingly warm for how thin they are.

"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..."
It appears as if director J.J. Abrams is planning on revisiting some of the most iconic alien worlds depicted in the original Star Wars trilogy in Star Wars: Episode VII. According to Icelandic website visir, via metro, Abrams is sending a second unit crew to Iceland to shoot landscape "plate shots" for what could be a return to the ice planet of Hoth, which served as a Rebel Alliance base in Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back before falling to Darth Vader's AT-AT assault. And, according to reliable scooper Drew Faraci of BadAssDigest, the first unit crew led by Abrams will begin shooting in Morocco on May 14th, at or near sites that were originally constructed to depict Luke Skywalker's home planet of Tatooine. Many of the structures originally created for Episode IV: A New Hope are still standing, though they are in pretty poor condition, as documented by photographer Rä di Martino, who spent a month traveling around Chott el Djerid in Tunisia to photograph the crumbling sets.
LucasFilm knows that fans are hungry for any little shred of anything about the new series and has begun to upload new videos to its Star Wars YouTube channel for the first time in ages. The latest video is a 15-minute featurette that chronicles "The Birth of the Lightsaber," that iconic humming laser sword that defines the heroic Jedi. The video includes rare behind-the-scenes footage from Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, with commentary from George Lucas, Mark Hamill and sound designer Ben Burtt.

Glass, TURKISH BLUE (LOOKS LIKE AQUA)for breaking at wedding
Each glass comes in an ivory satin bag
The breaking of a glass during the Jewish wedding ceremony is one of the most celebrated traditions. The meaning of this practice can be interpreted in many ways. Viewed as a symbol of the destruction of the Holy Temple, the glass reminds us of sadness even in the most joyous of occasions.
Another analogy is once the glass has been broken, it cannot be mended and therefore reflects the permanence of marriage. Some consider the frailty of the non-tempered glass as a symbol of the frailty of human relationships. Even as a couple married and strengthens their bond, it reminds us of the care required to maintain this tenuous connection.
The glasses we offer come in many colors and can be turned into items that will be a tangible memory of your wedding. Among the many options are mezuzot, kiddush cups, dreidles, candlesticks, and picture frames. Let us help you commemorate this most joyous even with these wonderful keepsakes.

WASHINGTON(WUSA)--With less than 24 hours before the inaugural parade, officials spent Sunday afternoon piecing together the remaining parts and positioning floats for Monday's ceremony.
The parade will feature eight official inaugural floats, and several dozen civilian groups that include marching bands, cultural organizations, and others.
Many military units will also be present..
Maxwell Frost and Phil's "Seguro Que Si" Latino band practiced atop their float Sunday afternoon, as family and people passing by stopped to listen.
Frost applied to participate online, hoping he and his father could get tickets to the inauguration. Now, his Orlando-based band will be a part of it.
"It would be cool if we could represent the Latino community," he said, noting the importance of the Latino vote during the 2012 election.
"I'm really excited. I hope I get to meet Obama! Probably not, but I hope I do," he laughed.
As others delivered floats and supplies, Earl Hargrove Jr. eyed several displays while he walked through the area Sunday. His family-owned company has built parade floats for the past 17 inaugural parades, starting with the Truman administration.
"He insisted that we get mules from Missouri to pull the float and we did," Hargrove said.
The home states of both the First Family and Vice President Joe Biden will also be on display, as part of eight official floats commissioned for the event.
The others include: the Martin Luther King Jr. float, the Civil Rights Movement float, the Tuskegee Airmen float, and the inaugural theme "Our People. Our Future."

Nega-watts are better than megawatts
Last week, I touched upon a number of issues and ideas brought up at the TechAdvantage conference, and promised to delve deeper into Tariq Samad's presentation, which discussed customer interface beyond the meter.
Samad, who is a corporate fellow with Honeywell Automation and Control Solutions, and a member of the governing board for the Smart Grid Interoperability Panel, shared his thoughts about the homes-and-buildings side of automation control.
About three-quarters of the nation's electricity consumption is in homes and buildings, he told us. So, it would logically follow that one of the benefits of the smart grid is to enable more widespread use of demand response (to reduce peak electricity demand) and energy efficiency measures (to reduce overall demand).
The realization of this and other smart grid benefits, not the least of which is to increase consumers' awareness of their own energy consumption, will need variable pricing, deployment of controls beyond the meter, and standard architecture and communications controls, Samad said. But automated meter reading (AMR) deployments can be leveraged to achieve these goals under variable pricing plans.
There are architecture and security considerations, especially with regard to Home Area Network (HAN) architecture. In Samad's scenario, the energy management system (EMS) connects to the meter, and controls the HAN devices in the home. As anything connected to the utility has to be authenticated, the EMS allows for privacy and security benefits by creating an effective firewall. When necessary, the utility can also communicate directly through the EMS (such as in demand response situations, for example). This, he feels, is the most optimal architecture "beyond the meter."
This particular HAN approach also minimizes risk and maximizes the benefit from real-time consumption information, Samad said. As well, the aggregate data provided by AMR and AMI bring into play a lot of potential services of interest both to utilities and consumers, such as usage comparison over time and among neighbors, best practices, usage comparison patterns, and more.
What struck me most about Samad's presentation, however, were his thoughts on the economics of energy efficiency and demand response.
"Energy efficiency can be viewed as a 'source' of electricity: nega-watts instead of megawatts," he explained. The cost to the end-user of electricity "generated" from energy efficiency products is typically 4 cents to 8.5 cents per kilowatt-hour, Samad noted, and it can be as low as 1 cent per kilowatt-hour in certain cases. "It compares favorably with today's retail prices for electricity [about 11 cents per kilowatt-hour]," he said.
Demand response, too, compares favorably with all types of generation: "it is two to three times cheaper than peak generation from natural gas under conservative assumptions," Samad told us.
I have been writing in this space about energy efficiency and its smart grid connections for many months. At times, it feels like a shout into the dark, because energy efficiency hasn't, for many, been a part of the grid intelligence equation. It is, however, informed by grid intelligence, and therefore difficult to separate when looking at the ultimate goal. It was encouraging to hear Tariq Samad's "beyond the meter" thoughts at TechAdvantage, not only because they echoed my own (validation by an expert in the field is always good), but because of the clarity with which he presented his argument.
In summary, because his points deserve driving home:
- The smart grid doesn't stop at the meter.
- Nega-watts are better than megawatts.
- Architecture definition must be informed by end-use considerations.
I encourage your comments, and would like to hear your thoughts on this. Please use the comment button here, e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com, or telephone me directly at 720-331-3555.
Coerced demand response is the likely result regardless of initial good intentions...and nearly everyone makes that connection once you dispense with the technobabble and describe demand response in simple terms.
Actions have consequences and consequences have consequences.
"Samad, who is a corporate fellow with Honeywell Automation and Control Solutions" is not exactly the model of an unbiased expert. While I applaud the full disclosure, I would encourage proponents of all-new-things-green to get into the guts of implementation (including private fianancing) and to bear in mind mean ol' Mr. Reality bites hard regardless of the best intentions.
A tremendous volume of public money is being poured into the Green Utility concept without any real evidence that favored programs like "smart meters" make legitimate business sense. My fear, in fact my suspicion, is that many of these programs amount to little more than money laundering: funds are turned into new gadgets, vendors smile, the rate-base is fattened and after all is said and done, the benefits are net-zero or worse. Meanwhile, real needs for generation and TD infrastructure go wanting
If you're a PE out there reading this, I just want to remind you of your ethical responsibility. Your standard-of-excellence may include "making the client happy" but your ultimate responsibility does not include that at all. In many ways you are an agent-of-the-state, charged as much with policing sophisticated schemes as with making valid calculations and accurate drawings. The numbers will work or they won't. Gut-check everything and everyone. Do not be lulled into an ethical abyss by certifying fiction...an act that has the unhappy result of shifting the entire liability load onto your shoulders.
Remember PCTs
Energy efficiency and demand management are vey worthwhile goals. The reason Kate feels she's been shouting in the dark is because consumers have little incentive to conserve when electricity is cheap, and they have even less incentive to manage demand when they pay prices that are time-insensitive.
Consumers are not going to allow utilities to control devices in their homes and businesses. Just look at the furor over programmable communicating thermostats (PCTs) in California two years ago, which could only be activated with a consumer's consent. Conspiracy theorists had a field day. We can expect the same kind of response when utilities and regulators insist that utilities be able to control an EMA from outside a home or business.
Consumers have to be the ones buying the devices Mr. Samad would lke to sell. Utilities should not, by default, have the ablity to control them externally. We don't let refiners control retail purchases of gasoline (even when prices soar) and there is no reason to change that practice for electricity.
Energy efficiency and demand management are typically relatively cheap to implement. However it's tough to place a value on the utility consumers lose when they engage in demand response, and it is this value rather than the cost of hardware, education and other enablers that is key. With energy efficiency and demand response, consumers must trade off capital investment against energy savings. Few have the tools or the expertise to do so. Moreover, in many cases the payback period at current electricity prices is well beyond the economic time horizon of most consumers.
All of this leads to one inescapable conclusion, which is that electricity is too cheap. Make it more expensive, and delivering on energy efficiency and demand management goals would be much simpler. But of course, raising the price of electricity would conflict with the policy goal of affordability.

A hostname is a unique name created to identify a machine on a network. In computer networking, a hostname is a label that is assigned to a device connected to a computer network and that is used to identify the device in various forms of electronic communication such as the World Wide Web, e-mail or Usenet. Hostnames may be simple names consisting of a single word or phrase, or they may be structured.
In Funtoo Linux
/etc/conf.d/hostname is the master configuration file for setting a hostname. In OpenRC framework
/etc/conf.d/foo is the configuration file for a corresponding Init script
/etc/init.d/foo. With the case of hostname, default value in
/etc/conf.d/hostname is set to localhost, means when system boots and OpenRC's
/etc/init.d/hostname script started a hostname getting only localhost name. How it looks? In your shell promt this will look in following way, an example for root:
localhost ~ # Hello :)
Let's play a bit with a configuration. Open
/etc/conf.d/hostname with your favorite editor and set a hostname of your choice. Below, I will use a real examples of my working test box.
localhost ~ # nano /etc/conf.d/hostname
Let's set it to hostname="oleg-stable.host.funtoo.org". Save the file and restart a hostname service:
localhost ~ # service hostname restart
Now, let's examine our changes, after a restarting a hostname
oleg-stable ~ # Hello :)
Notice, that we seeing a shortened hostname here, and not a FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name). Don't be frustrated , this is how default bash promt PS1 set. To get nice promts, please, consult http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-tip-prompt/ <-- this one should be on Funtoo wiki :)

It's "Dennis who?" as voters mull District 4 Assembly sample ballots
By: Gus Thomson, Journal Staff Writer
Gaines leads in fundraising
While Beth Gaines consolidates her campaign's perception that she's the frontrunner in conservative-leaning District 4's special election, her lone opponent for the Assembly seat has been keeping an uncommonly low profile. Roseville Democrat Dennis Campanale and Gaines, a Republican hoping to replace her husband Ted Gaines in the Assembly, are in special runoff election May 3, Gaines is currently on a campaign to reach out to local leaders while ramping up the fundraising with several big-ticket donations streaming in from both inside and outside District 4. Conversely, Campanale has turned into a mystery man for many Placer County voters. When sample ballots arrived in the mail, Gaines had a candidate statement but Campanale didn't. The Placer County elections division confirmed that Campanale chose not to file a statement, which would have cost $3,550. The two candidates will report campaign fund-raising totals later this month but early indications are that Gaines will be well in front in terms of a campaign war chest. "We have a six-figure budget for the election and will reach that goal," campaign manager Andre Levesque said. "Beth has been working hard at fund-raising and she's seen terrific support from the community." Levesque said Gaines is finding the pulse of the district through sit-downs with local business and political leaders. Gaines met Friday with Auburn Chamber of Commerce and other officials following a similar confab earlier in Rocklin. Campanale failed to respond to several phone calls from the Journal. But he did make a request for candidate funding to the state Democrats. Campanale said after topping the polls with 33 percent of the vote March 8 that he anticipated a financial boost from the state Democratic Party to pull off a win. Gaines placed second. Tenoch Flores, communications director for the California Democratic Party, said that Campanale didn't receive any funding. "The California Democratic Party does not pay for candidate filing statements," Flores said. "That's a candidate's responsibility and we feel that's something that serious candidates should do." Campanale's name is also a no-show on the list of $1,000-plus donors that is filed electronically with the California Secretary of State's office and listed online. They must be filed within 24 hours of receiving them but no $1,000-plus donations are listed under his name. Gaines has reported 83 separate donations of $1,000 since the March 8 primary totaling $166,000, with several large corporate donors mixed in with Indian tribal gaming money, business and local contributions. Levesque said the number of donations is indicative of the confidence donors have that the money will be going to support the next District 4 Assembly member. It also reflects Gaines's emphasis on job creation and support for business, he said. That support for Gaines is reinforced by the tens of thousands of dollars that could also be lined up in a close race from political action committees such as San Diego-based California Taxpayers Advocate and the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians in Orland. The San Diego group pumped $62,000 for ads on several radio stations, including KFBK, KNCI and KSEG just before the March 8 election. The Paskenta Band spent $25,000 on radio airtime March 7 in support of Gaines. Bill Bandes, a Roseville-area Democrat who ran for congress in San Diego in the early 1970s, said that Campanale e-mailed him a copy of a prospective candidate's statement before the filing deadline. "I thought it was a good statement and that this election could fly," Bandes said. "But he said the state party turned him down and he was counting on the firefighters and they didn't think it was winnable. He said it looks like he was not going to make it." Bandes said he convinced the Placer County Democratic Party Central Committee to pay for a recent newspaper advertisement with Campanale's candidate credentials. He still thinks there's a slim chance and that Campanale would be a better Assembly member than Gaines. "But in politics, when they see you just lie down dead in the water then you're going to be in trouble," Bandes said. ------------------------------------------------- Getting on the Gaines bandwagon Here's a sampling of some of the donations that have recently come into the Beth Gaines election campaign. She has filed 83 reports of $2,000 or more. Her opponent, Dennis Campanale, has reported zero: $3,900 MCM Construction, North Highlands $1,500 California Society of Plastic Surgeons, Sacramento $3,900 Pacific Gas & Electric, San Francisco $3,900 Anheuser-Busch Companies, Sacramento $3,000 Martin Harmon/Auburn Manor Holding Corp., Rocklin $1,000 Nella Oil Company, Auburn $7,800 California Real Estate PAC, Los Angeles $3,900 Pechanga Band of Mission Indians, Temecula $3,900 Sempra Energy, San Diego $3,900 Philip Morris USA, Sacramento $2,500 California Tribal Business Alliance State Candidate PAC, Sacramento $2,500 Viejas Tribal Government, Alpine $1,500 California Chamber of Commerce PAC, Sacramento Source: Secretary of State

Schuller's daughter Carol Schuller Milner said Wednesday that her 86-year-old father remains at the hospital after the late-night fall early Saturday in Orange.
Milner tells the Orange County Register (http://bit.ly/165iPoE) that Schuller is doing well and is expected to return home soon.
She says the family was initially concerned that Schuller, who had a heart attack in 1997, had suffered heart failure but that was quickly ruled out. She says doctors are trying to determine the cause of a high lactic acid count.
Schuller, the once popular televangelist whose Crystal Cathedral was dedicated in 1980, resigned from the church's board in 2012, two years after the church filed for bankruptcy.

Ray Isle (@islewine on Twitter) is Food & Wine's executive wine editor. We trust his every cork pop and decant – and the man can sniff out a bargain to boot. Take it away, Ray.
That gift-giving season is roaring toward us like some mammoth sleigh piloted by a crazy old coot in a red coat, so it's time to start making some choices. For the wine lover in your life - or simply for yourself - this fall has been particularly chockablock with new wine books. Here are a few picks:
The heart of his argument, and perhaps the heart of his love of wine as well, might lie in this elegantly stated insight: "The beauty of wine is due in significant portion to its mystery...The goal is not so much to unravel the mystery as it is to revel in it."
So, ff the wine whose mysteries you most revel in is sherry, then the recently published "Sherry, Manzanilla & Montilla" by Peter Liem and Jesús Barquín (Mantius, $30), two of the foremost authorities on the subject, is a must-have. The first half is an in-depth reference to essentially everything there is to know about sherry: its history, the nature of the region, how it's made and aged, and the many different styles. The latter half of the book is a thorough and extremely useful critical assessment of the principal bodegas of the region and their wines.
On the other hand, for Spain-lovers who prefer their wines unfortified, Ana Fabiano's visually striking "The Wine Region of Rioja" (Sterling Epicure, $35) delves deeply into the history of Spain's most famous wine, provides clearly written explanations of the region's vineyards and winemaking, and also presents profiles of the top producers. It's an elegant portrait of one of the world's greatest wine regions.
Closer to home, Doug Shafer's "A Vineyard in Napa", written with Andy Demsky (University of California Press, $30) is a thoughtful and entertaining portrait of one of Napa's most acclaimed wineries, Shafer Vineyards. But by virtue of the 1972-2012 arc the book comprises, it's also a fascinating history of Napa's transformation from a rural community, full of walnut orchards and grazing cattle as well as vineyards, into one of the world's most wealthy, famous and acclaimed wine regions. Plus, it contains the appealingly inarguable line: "There must be a million American stories that begin with a family packing themselves into a station wagon."

Government employees' entanglement with Planned Parenthood shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Here in Wisconsin, we've certainly experienced our fair share of that, with the brutal back-and-forth volleying of the recent campaign season. Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, hosted fundraisers in Milwaukee and Madison for (defeated) gubernatorial candidate Tom Barrett. Read more about that here.
Kansas late-term abortionist Leroy Carhart made national news this week when he announced plans to open three new abortion facilities in Indiana, Iowa and Maryland. Read a news story about that here.
As a result of Carhart's grisly revelation, much press has been devoted to abortionists and by extension, Planned Parenthood. Carhart's abortion practice is independent of Planned Parenthood. Unsurprisingly, the letters-to-the-editor from Planned Parenthood minions continue to pour into local newspapers in those areas.
Of particular interest is this letter-to-the-editor in the Dubuque, Iowa Telegraph Herald. Written by Ann Niday Straley, ostensibly in defense of Planned Parenthood's work with teens, it is a tired regurgitation of the reasoning that since parents really don't know how to parent these days, "we" need Planned Parenthood.
Straley fails to mention in her letter that she is a member of the board of directors for Planned Parenthood of East Central Iowa (PPECI). View PPECI's 2008-09 annual report, with the listing of board members, here.
And here's where things get really interesting. A Google search of Straley reveals she was paid a salary by the City of Dubuque, Iowa, in 2008 and in 2009. Dubuque's 2008 list of salaried employees can be found here and its list of 2009 employees can be found here. Yet a search of Dubuque's staff directory turns up no mention of anyone named Straley. So what gives? More hide-and-go-seek from Planned Parenthood?

A sensor type (感知タイプ, kanchi taipu, Literally meaning: Perception type) is ninja that is capable of detecting the presence of other people through their chakra.
A skilled sensor can detect their targets from a great distance, as well as differentiate the characters by their chakra signature alone.[1][2] They are even able to tell when other sensors are using their abilities.[3][4] Karin is able to tell exactly who is among a crowd of people and her sensory skills are such that she is even able to tell if her targets are lying based on any fluctuation of their chakra.[5] Mū and Tobirama Senju can discern between chakra signatures of shinobi from different populations.[6][7]
There are, however, methods that can hinder a sensors ability to detect individuals. Mū has mastered the Hiding with Camouflage Technique to such extent that he is able avoid detection by traditional sensory techniques, but can be sensed through other means such as contact type sensory techniques.[8] Karin is able to suppress her chakra though she herself cannot use her abilities while doing this.[3] The Aburame can use their insects to create false chakra signals and confuse sensors.[9] The Mirage Genjutsu used by the Second Mizukage and his Giant Clam also prevents them from being sensed through traditional methods while in effect.[10] Zetsu is also able — through unknown means — to render himself undetectable.[11]
Throughout the series, various characters have commented on the 'feel' of a person's chakra and similar comments regarding the ability to sense high levels of chakra a little, leading to the possibility that chakra sensing is merely a more refined version of this by either teaching or being simply born more sensitive. Several other methods of sensing have also been displayed such as Gaara's Sand Sensing technique which is a contact type (接触タイプ, sesshoku taipu) sensory ability as well as Kidōmaru's Spider Web Area and Nagato's Rain Tiger at Will Technique.
According to Karin in the anime,[12] sensor types have different specialities depending on their villages: Konoha shinobi often use ninken with their smell and tracking sense. Karin's sensing abilities are derived from her Mind's Eye of the Kagura; it is unknown if other sensors also have a specific techniques to do so, or if it is just a general skill.
Ino Yamanaka is able to pass on her awareness of sensed targets to others through her clan's mind-based techniques.
Tobirama Senju was also a very gifted sensor ninja. By simply touching the ground with his index finger, he could detect the presence and number of enemy shinobi. He was also able to detect Madara Uchiha's chakra on the battlefield some ways off and was also able to determine how Orochimaru's new body was made almost entirely from Hashirama's cells.
While hinted at in Part I, it was established during the Fourth Shinobi World War that some sensor types can sense natural energy.[13][14][15]
- Sages, who utilise natural energy, can also detect presence of people through their chakra, essentially making them sensors: in fact, the word senjutsu (仙術) uses the same hiragana: せんじゅつ, as the art of scrying (占術), a allusion to the abilities of Sages to sense persons while in Sage Mode.
- Kisame Hoshigaki's blade, the Samehada, is attracted to intense chakra, allowing him to hunt down such individuals.[16]
- After gaining control of the Nine-Tails' chakra, Naruto has displayed the Nine-Tails' ability to sense others' presence by detecting negative emotions, an ability Mito Uzumaki, a former jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails also had and something that Kisame stated other sensors cannot do.[17]
- It should be noted that while in the anime Karin referred to persons using ninken as sensors,[12] this was not said in the manga.[18]
- Sasuke claimed that Karin's ability to sense chakra is unlike that of anybody else.
- In Shippūden episode 226, the sensor type shinobi that was on the ship exhibited the ability to sense things that would generally fall out of the realm of sensors, such as being able to tell that they were far away from the depth charges being fired, seemingly sense air currents underwater as well as tell that there was a large subterranean hot spring underneath them.

Buddhist Economics? Raj Patel Suggests a New Idea of Value
Worried about the meaning of existence? You might want to check out Raj Patel's best-selling book "The Value of Nothing."

My college life was enriched with family, friends, sorority sisters, successful academic achievement, and a loving boyfriend. But one night, a terrifying new element was suddenly added. Lying in bed, I began to sweat profusely. My heart was racing and I could not stay still. I had an overwhelming foreboding that something terrible was about to happen to me, and I wouldn't be able to escape. When I called my dad to explain my symptoms, he suggested that I go to the hospital.
I went there alone because I couldn't bear the thought of anyone seeing me in a helpless, hopeless state. The doctor thought I might be dehydrated, so he gave me fluids and medication to help me sleep. But I lay awake confused and crying. I went through my days smiling on the outside and broken on the inside. People surrounded me, yet I felt completely isolated. I slept and ate very little and thought very little about anything other than how pathetic I was. Although a small part of me understood the anxiety I was feeling, the other part of me thought I was crazy. I was sure of only one thing: I was alone in my condition. It wasn't long before I discovered how wrong I was.
With support and love from my family, I sought help, opened up, and learned that what I was experiencing—panic disorder—was a common secret struggle among many college students, as well as some of my family members. My grandmother had experienced the same symptoms at my age 50 years earlier. Unfortunately for her, mental health resources were very limited then. I discovered I was genetically predisposed to this condition, but like my grandmother, I could overcome it.
Four years have passed since my first panic attack. I am earning a master's degree in public health, and my plan is to promote mental health resources. I will also work to eliminate stigma surrounding mental health problems, and as my family showed me, I will show others suffering from an anxiety disorder that they are not alone.
