The Jobuilt P-996 Lazer is a fighter jet that appears in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
The aircraft is based off of the F-16C Fighting Falcon, with strong accents of the F-18 Hornet air intakes. It looks very similar to the F-35B Lightning II from the rear, the F-35 is capable of STVL (Short Take-off & Vertical Landing) which may be the cause of many people to believe the Lazer was a new version of the Hydra. The P-996 is equipped with dual cannons with explosive rounds, which is reminiscent of the F-20 Tigershark. It also has lock-on missiles equipped.
- Multiple parked in Fort Zancudo (large hangar, two small hangars, outside some closed large hangars, next to the runway etc.
- Sometimes on the runway in Fort Zancudo.
- Sometimes flying around Fort Zancudo.
- Sometimes taxiing around Fort Zancudo.
GTA Online
- Fort Zancudo.
- Used by the Hunters in Top Fun 1, 2 and 3.
- Often when stealing a Lazer from Fort Zancudo players will be shot down by other Lazers in the air. There are two ways to avoid being shot down: fly straight up - if the player doesn't look behind them, the tailing Lazer will eventually de-spawn; dodge the missiles - just before a missile hits, climb and then descend rapidly, the missile will climb after you, but when you descend again it will not change course fast enough, and should go right over the player's head). Players should also be mindful towards the multiple Rhino ranks patrolling the base, as they are very accurate and can destroy a Lazer in a single shot.
- If the plane is moving, the player can eject from the plane much like in real life. They will be flung upwards a little, preventing them from hitting the fuselage, unless at low speeds. However, despite this, the seat won't launch off the plane, and the player won't automatically earn a parachute unless he has one already.
- If the player successfully steals this jet from Fort Zancudo, they must place it in a hangar as soon as possible, as the plane is likely to be shot up bad enough that the engines would be smoking. If it does, the player has a few minutes before the engine fails and the plane is essentially lost.
- The jet will save when placed in a player's hangar but will be lost completely upon switching hangar vehicles.
- Two P-996 Lazers intercept Trevor in the mission Minor Turbulence and eventually shoot down his hijacked cargo plane.
- AI-controlled P-996 Lazers can use flares, making it harder for them be shot down with heat-seeking missiles.
- As of the 1.02 patch, the P-996 Lazer, when using missiles, has a realistic lock-on target square on screen.
- The P- prefix of the plane most likely resembles the older combat aircraft designation of USAF where P- means "Pursuit", which was eventually replaced by today's F- for "Fighter".
- The Lazer requires a very minimal area to take-off. Take-off is possible within the space of 5 Lazers.
- Many GTA fans thought that the P-996 was the Fighter that got removed from GTA IV, but it is in fact a separate aircraft.
- The explosive cannon rounds can make short work of any type of vehicle, but the major downside is that it has significantly low range, going as far as seven Lazer lengths. The best technique to use the cannon is to approach the target fairly low, with the gear down (to reduce speed), then fire the cannon, dive quickly and spray the area in front/around the target, then quickly pull up.
- It is nearly impossible to steal a P-996 on Grand Theft Auto Online because proximity mines are planted near the jet and will go off before the jet can even take off. Even with multiple people helping you, it's still very difficult stealing a P-996.

Arriving at renowned Watershed High School in South Minneapolis and walking to the "Hip Hop, History and the Arts" classroom to speak with curriculum founder-instructor Chadwick "Niles" Phillips is, to say the least, an interesting experience. The students have wrapped up rehearsal for the day, and he's prepping them for the following evening's premier of their artistic outing, "The Youth Performance Series (Act 4)."
This is, it's clear, not simply a gathering reminiscent of Fame. These "at-risk" adolescents of color are taking advantage of the vital opportunity to pursue an alternative to the street life that more and more often sees minority youth ending up either victims or perpetrators of violent crime. The class is a viable alternative to having idle time on their hands and unwittingly following a dead-end path to a trouble-laden future. It's a chance to begin realizing an ambition to do something positive with themselves and enjoy having their dreams nurtured to the fullest extent possible. Continue Reading →

May 3, 2016
A New Bern woman and two of her daughters have been indicted for what the district attorney calls "systematic theft of large sums of money" from a medical practice. The mother is suspected of stealing more than $100,000.
The grand jury indicted 53-year-old Lisa Norton and her daughters, 21-year-old Katherine Cannon and 19-year-old Courtney Norton, for obtaining property by false pretense. District Attorney Scott Thomas says Lisa Norton used to be the office manager of Carolina Craniospinal Neurosurgery in New Bern. The position gave her access to the income and expense payments for the practice and the physicians who work there. Thomas says the daughters were occasional employees of Craven Craniospinal Neurosurgery and had been employed only a short time when the theft was discovered.
The indictments allege that all of the defendants obtained money belonging to the medical office by falsely representing that they were entitled to it and had authorization to take it.
If convicted, Lisa Norton could serve an eight-year maximum mandatory prison sentence, and her daughters could serve a maximum of eight months in prison. All defendants have court appearances in Craven County Superior Court scheduled during the week of June 10.

American civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr put it aptly: "It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it."
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that," he added, concurring with Mahatma Gandhi that an eye for an eye would only make the whole world blind.
In much similar vein, this year's Easter saw church after church and cleric after cleric repeatedly and passionately underscore the need for communities, nations and humankind as a whole to safeguard and prompt the peace and harmony Tanzania has known and enjoyed all this long.
All implored Tanzanians in their millions to uphold, enhance and treasure human rights and the rule of law as well prize the security and justice that doing so guarantees.
Those taking these for granted might argue that there was nothing new and worth writing home about in these sermons as, after all, it would be strange for men and women of God to tell their flocks and the world anything to the contrary.
Their stance will be surely regrettable but possible understandable if they know nothing the likes of war-ravaged Somalia, strife-torn Democratic Republic of Congo, dismembered Sudan and countries prone to terrorist attacks.
In one of this year's Easter summons, a long-serving cleric raised alarm over what he describes of "indications" of the resurfacing of suspicions, intolerance and discrimination between and among Tanzanians based chiefly on religious, tribal and ideological lines.
Accordingly, he appealed to the government and the citizenry to do their utmost to ensure Tanzania continues to stand as a solid nation built on the foundation of humanity, freedom, equality, respect for basic rights and self-reliance.
As to precisely what should be done to safeguard and promote the peace and unity prevailing in the country, the clerics spoke of the need to bridge the yawning social and economic gaps separating the filthy rich from the dirt poor and thus ensuring equitable distribution of the "national cake".
Indeed, for is it not common wisdom that the only peace sure to last is that which is between equals and that whose very principle is equality and a common participation in a common benefit?
Yet, how many care to appreciate the fact that, to steal from Mother Teresa, the absence of peace is often the result of people forgetting that they belong to each other?
We subscribe to fears constituting part of the gist of the religious leaders' Easter sermons that inequalities and injustices in society breeds, precipitates or fans misery, disillusionment and despondency that, in turn, form a conspiracy triggering all manner of anti-social behaviour including crime.
Footnote: It is dangerous for a country to reach a stage where people believe that treasures such as peace and moral ethics are impossible to cultivate and promote, as all that this would mean is that people have lost faith even in their very own lives.
Religious leaders have used this year's Easter to remind us about these dangers and what we can do to forestall or circumvent them. We should stay forewarned.

Blog: First-and-Orange
The Denver Post's NFL reporters post analysis, notes and more on this blog focusing on the Denver Broncos.
- Dec 7:
- Broncos make a commitment to run game, close out Raiders
- Broncos best and worsts: Down the field, then stalled
- Oakland Raiders are running out of time to win once more
- Broncos' John Elway joins Hall of Famers' forum in Oakland
- Broncos notes: Champ Bailey calls his pick "big moment"
- Dec 6:
- Woody Paige: Broncos, Manning roll to 8 straight with a team effort
- Peyton Manning, Broncos' star power enough to beat Raiders in Oakland
- Denver Broncos vs. Oakland Raiders live blog: Manning leading without starters
- Broncos' Chris Kuper downgraded to questionable for game at Oakland
- Here's how the Broncos can grab a win on Thursday night at Oakland
1. Don't let the Raiders kick-start the run. Raiders running backs Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson have each missed the past four games with injuries, but both are expected to be available in at least a limited fashion against the Broncos. And with the Raiders' defensive woes — they are ranked last in the league in scoring defense — they will try to keep the ball out of Peyton Manning's hands. The best way for them to do that, at least if they can keep things close, is to try to run the ball against a Broncos' base defense that has surrendered rushing yards.
2. Get the red ink out. If the Broncos are truly serious about what's to come in January, they must scratch and claw their way out of the negative side of the turnover margin. They have been even or on the plus side in each of the past four games, but for the year they are minus-3. Of the 16 teams that have minus turnover margins, only three have winning records — the Broncos, Indianapolis Colts and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Broncos are the only division leader among the 16 teams. In the Sept. 30 meeting with the Raiders, the Broncos did not force a turnover.
3. Keep the pressure on Raiders offensive front. The Raiders' Carson Palmer is one of only three quarterbacks in the league to have attempted at least 500 passes this season, a total that includes at least 40 attempts in four of his past five games. In two of those games, Palmer attempted at least 54 passes. Some of that has been because of the Raiders' injuries at running back and their inability to keep games close. The Raiders have put Palmer on the move to throw more often this season, so the Broncos have to keep him hemmed in and crank things down in the middle of the field.
4. Get a little more from the Broncos' run game. Maybe it isn't this game, but the Broncos are going to need more from their running game in the coming weeks. Their offense has been dominant at times and they are on track to be one of the highest-scoring teams in franchise history. But Manning still needs the option of play-action to be his best and the Broncos still need the running game to better protect their quarterback. Defenses have blitzed Manning more this year than they did in his final years in Indianapolis and a little more efficiency running the ball would enable the Broncos to slow down those pass rushers.
5. Handle the short week with a long view. For the Broncos to earn a bye in the playoffs, followed by a home game, they must win out to leave no doubt. They can't afford a concentration lapse, a bad week or feeling a little too good about winning one of the league's weakest divisions for the second season in a row. They say they have bigger fish to fry and how they prepare in a short week to go on the road will offer a glimpse into how serious they are about it.

Comments: Really nice gloves, really light and seem super durable. The palms are super smooth and really give you great feel. Tons of room inside like with most 4-roll gloves. I

From: Chris
Comments: I bought a pair of these gloves a few months ago. They fit great, they are very nice and light weight, and the very design of the glove gives a high quality look and feel. Stick handling feels nice because of the materials used on the palm, you get a nice feel for the puck. Durable glove, good level of protection.
From: David, Las Vegas
Comments: I had been using the Vapor line the past year but when I put holes in them decided to try out the new 4- rolls since I heard so much about them. They are every bit as good as the reviews. Super comfortable right off the shelf, very lightweight, very good stick feel. The new materials make them just as protective, but somehow even lighter than years past. After only about 4 games or so in them (the black/silver color scheme) I don't think I will ever go back to Vapors again. The palms are really soft and dry soft each time. I found the Vapor (retail) palms to be less than ideal after a few games. Aside from the great performace I have had so far, AT LEAST 1 person comments on them each time I have played. Our team jerseys are black anyway, so the gloves just match great.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Maryland prosecutors are recommending no jail time for former Anne Arundel County executive John Leopold.
Leopold was convicted of two counts of misconduct in office for forcing his staff to do campaign work and perform personal errands like emptying his catheter bag. He resigned following his conviction in late January and will be sentenced Thursday.
WJZ-TV reports that prosecutors have recommended a suspended one-year sentence, a $100,000 fine, 5 years of probation and 500 hours of community service.
The state prosecutor wrote in a sentencing memo that Leopold's conduct merits incarceration, but he didn't recommend it, citing the 70-year-old's age and health issues.
Leopold's attorneys wrote in their memo that his actions were "misguided." They say his decision to resign demonstrated remorse.

The Problem with Religious Moderates
We can no longer afford the luxury of political correctness. When religion causes violence, its root claims must be challenged.
Reprinted from The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason with permission of W.W. Norton & Company, Inc.
People of faith fall on a continuum: some draw solace and inspiration from a specific spiritual tradition, and yet remain fully committed to tolerance and diversity, while others would burn the earth to cinders if it would put an end to heresy. There are, in other words, religious moderates and religious extremists, and their various passions and projects should not be confused. However, religious moderates are themselves the bearers of a terrible dogma: they imagine that the path to peace will be paved once each of us has learned to respect the unjustified beliefs of others. I hope to show that the very ideal of religious tolerance-born of the notion that every human being should be free to believe whatever he wants about God-is one of the principal forces driving us toward the abyss.
We have been slow to recognize the degree to which religious faith perpetuates man's inhumanity to man. This is not surprising, since many of us still believe that faith is an essential component of human life. Two myths now keep faith beyond the fray of rational criticism, and they seem to foster religious extremism and religious moderation equally: (i) most of us believe that there are good things that people get from religious faith (e.g., strong communities, ethical behavior, spiritual experience) that cannot be had elsewhere; (2) many of us also believe that the terrible things that are sometimes done in the name of religion are the products not of faith per se but of our baser natures-forces like greed, hatred, and fear-for which religious beliefs are themselves the best (or even the only) remedy. Taken together, these myths seem to have granted us perfect immunity to outbreaks of reasonableness in our public discourse.

COLUMBUS -- The State of Ohio Parole Board has released the results for Tony R. Smith's parole hearing.
With a majority vote, the board denied parole and decided that Smith's sentence would continue for the next 10 years. Smith will not be eligible for parole again until February 2023.
On April 3, 1998, Smith, 23, confessed and pleaded guilty to murdering Lilius "Friggy" Landrum, 43, of Akron.
Smith did so by decapitating her and placing her head in a bucket in his basement and her body behind a furnace.
Landrum's family said more than 3,500 people from around the world signed the online petition requesting that parole be denied. They said countless others wrote letters to the parole board, objecting to his release, including Summit County Prosecutor Sherry Bevan Walsh.
The family of Lilius "Friggy" Landrum would like to thank the public, the crime scene investigators, law enforcement agents and media outlets for their help and support in seeing that the family's wishes were respected and that parole was denied for Tony R. Smith.
The family says they feel that justice has been done.

It's been about 18 months now since the state Legislature passed a law allowing special courts to be set up specifically to help veterans. In return for pleading guilty, veterans in the court system are put in touch with treatment programs, peer mentors and other services to help them get their lives back on track. So far, the only Veterans Court set up is in Kennebec County. The special court is ready to go, but as Tom Porter reports, there's one big glitch.
The program was set up in Kennebec County, in part to meet the needs of younger vets, many of them suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, after serving in Iraq or Afghanistan. A year-and-half after lawmakers OK'd veterans' courts, the Kennebec County program is still the only one in the state.
"We're really hoping to be able to do a Veterans Court in our area," says Sgt. Victoria Langelier, a programs director at the Androscoggin County jail in Auburn. Most of the pieces are in place for Androscoggin County to have its own vets court, she says - but one key ingredient is missing: They can't find a judge.
Langelier says the position is a demanding one, and it's unfunded.
"From what I understand it's all pro bono - it's not a paid spot," she says. "And it is quite a lengthy procedure to get the veterans in and out of the court, make sure that everything is going the way it should be, to make sure they're following up in all of their support systems that they're getting through Togus and through their counselors."
Since Veterans Courts were established in May 2012, Langelier says 129 vets have passed through the Androscoggin County Jail system. Only two of them were able to be referred to the specialty Veterans Court in Kennebec County.
Lt. Jeff Chute says the state needs more than one Veterans Court. "Well I think it's important to every county," Chute says. "One in the state's probably not going to be enough to serve all these people."
Chute, who is the administrator at the Androscoggin County jail, says staff members do all they can to help any inmates who are veterans. Chute says it's important to let veterans brought into the correctional system know of any VA programs that might assist them. It all helps, he says, but it falls short of the kind of individualized, specialist assistance that could be offered by the Veterans Court.
Jerry DeWitt agrees. He's a 28-year Army veteran now working as a nurse and a social worker. He also does a lot of volunteer outreach work with veterans in the Lewiston-Auburn area, and was among those who lobbied the Legislature to approve Veterans Courts last year.
While the search for a judge goes on in Androscoggin County, DeWitt says he meets monthly with Sgt. Langelier from the county jail.
"And she and I identify veterans who are going through the county jail system, and if the veteran asks for help, I go and see them in the jail to start the paperwork, whether it be for benefits, or referral to some resources that they need," DeWitt says.
Randall Liberty is Kennebec County sheriff, and is himself an Iraq veteran who has struggled with PTSD. He is also a driving force behind the existing Veterans Court in Augusta, which he says has offered help to about 25 vets so far. Two of those veterans have gone on to effectively "graduate" from the system, and are now enrolled in college.
Liberty says he realized the need for this kind of specialized help after serving with the U.S. Army in Iraq for a year. "I saw first-hand the 18-,19-, 20-year-old Marines, what they were going through and the difficulties and rigors of war, and it affirmed to me that when they return and they struggle, it's my duty to help them transition back," Liberty says.
To learn more about the Maine Veterans Court program, and some of those it has helped, look for the MPBN television documentary, "A Matter of Duty," which will be screened tonight at USM's hannaford Hall in Portland, and will be braodcast for the first time on MPBN Television Nov. 10.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 15 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by nefer perfect size I have other, larger pacsafe purses and wanted something smaller and lighter., This fills the bill quite well. I love the safety features and never travel without one of these products. March 11, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by Pooch Great LITTLE Bag I bought this little bag over a month ago in Cypress Green. I love a small bag at times and thought this would fit the bill. It's wonderful. The only problem I have with it is what they call the "origami styling." Unfortunately, those lopped off corners in a bag this small make the usable space really tiny. I can get a very small wallet, car key, lip gloss and a couple of tissues inside the main compartment. My phone goes in the outside zipper compartment. And that's it. No sunglasses or anything else will fit. However, that's enough for me at times (although I would like my glasses with me) and because I can put it across my body very comfortably it's so convenient. My hands are free to do other things and my pockets are not stuffed and bulging. I can't get a passport in it which is unfortunate because this would be so wonderful for travel if it was just that much bigger. The green is a wonderfully neutral color without being the same boring black and brown I normally carry. I have about ten PacSafe bags and this one is a favorite. February 24, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Parrot Best purse for a cell phone & credit cards I purchased this purse years ago in black. I like the light green color purse. December 10, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sheryl Great Travel Purse I bought this bag in light green last yr.for a 3-month trip to Australia. It performed well. Very comfortable cross body bag leaving hands free if you like. Liked the RFID feature for credit cards. It was roomy enough for all of my essentials including cell phone. Liked everything about it except the light green showed the soil on the body of the bag in oval areas where the wiring ran on the inside of the bag. I did wash the bag, but not all came out. I used it again this winter for our 3-month trip and it got even dirtier. Just ordered the same bag in black for future trips, which I am hoping will solve the problem of the oval wire dirt marks. I wouldn't have ordered a second bag if I hadn't liked it so much. The light color just showed the soiling too much. April 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by shandy1 Love this bag!!!! I waited a few months before reviewing this purchase and I have been very pleased with one exception which will be explained later. If I could give four and a half stars, I would. This carries quite a lot which follows: inside pockets: cell phone, my palm pilot, lipsticks, pens, lip gloss, extra cell phone battery and cuticle treatment stick. The main part of the bag also holds two check books, 2 Rx bottles, coin purse for change, a credit card holder with 12 pockets, a RFID credit card holder and a large eyeglass cleaner the same size as a checkbook. The smaller outside zippered area is for my eye glasses which I change out with my sun glasses. The only drawback is when zipping or unzipping the large compartment you have to be very careful as the zipper can catch the beautiful apricot colored lining and I've done this 3 times. I have to really work gently to get it to release as I am afraid that it will tear the lining. I've been lucky so far so now I am more careful. I purchased the green bag and I love the color as well. I can also use this as a fannypack. Can't say enough about the quality of this bag. The safety features are absolutely wonderful. I will feel quite safe and secure on my trip this September to Italy. May 26, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Okie68 Great travel bag This is my second bag in this style. I have the green and now black. Great for travel. Very light weight, even when "loaded." September 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Joanhi Great bag This is my second bag like this. Bought the first one a few years ago and it won't wear out! So I got a different color this time, just for a change of pace. The adjustable strap lets you wear it across the body, which I frequently do. You can also disconnect to wrap around a shopping cart handle or chair back so it can't be snatched. Holds a lot of stuff, too. I love this bag and take it everywhere. September 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pegstein Best waist pack bag Small,but not too small, lightweight bag. Fully lined in light color contrast fabric with just the right sized interior pockets. The security features are a bonus - I would buy this bag even without them. Looks right over the shoulder, cross body or as a waist pack. Good value! February 28, 2015

You may have noticed from photos of Ari that he is a big fan of bow ties. The paisley one, above, really works for this man. The broccoli pins on his lapels also make this a very special look (on the right is a broccoli floret with a face, and on the left, his pin states "Listen to Your Mom, Eat Your Vegetables"). Add well-groomed 'stache, ear-piercings, and hat, and you've got style.

Here's one with some better textures. Started working on objects but nothing is showing on this map...because they still pretty much blow.
I did, however, also do a little playing around with lighting. I'm totally new to this sort of stuff and haven't seen any detailed tutorials so I'm just experimenting.
I have a folder with three layers. One is filled with dark blue and set to the Color blend mode - in the hopes of giving a nighttime feel. The other two are black-filled with light gradients on them. One is set to Darken, which shadows anything without lighted pixels. The other, experimental and optional, was my attempt to get the light halos themselves in there. I set it to Lighten. The result is over the top...but kind of cool as it looks like lights in the fog (appropriate for a dock scene I think). It blows out any underlying detail though, so probably are only useful for the occasional special effect. I'll probably still do something like it in the final (for outdoor lights at least) but it'll be dialed back considerably I think. So, experts, any lighting tips? I'm a complete n00b here.

The Byakugan (白眼, Literally meaning: White Eye, Meaning (Viz): All Seeing White Eye) is the dōjutsu kekkei genkai of the Hyūga clan. It is one of the Three Great Dōjutsu (三大瞳術, San Daidōjutsu, Literally meaning: Three Great Eye Techniques), along with the Sharingan and the Rinnegan.[1]
Those who inherit the blood of this clan have almost featureless, white eyes. When the Byakugan is activated, the user's pupils become more distinct, and the veins near their temples bulge. It also appears that unlike the other two great dōjutsu, all members of the clan possess, and can use the kekkei genkai from birth, as opposed to needing to awaken or else, not inheriting it at all.
The Byakugan's abilities have left it highly coveted by the other villages, as evidenced by Kumogakure's attempt to steal it; an event which led up to what is known as the "Hyūga Affair". Ao of Kirigakure was able to obtain a single Byakugan from a Hyūga he defeated,[2] and goes to great lengths to protect it. At the same time, Danzō Shimura went to equal lengths to retrieve or destroy it.[3] Unlike a transplanted Sharingan, a transplanted Byakugan can be activated and deactivated at will.
The primary ability of the Byakugan gives the user a near 360º field of vision, except for one blind spot at the back of the neck above the third thoracic vertebra.[4] Upon activation of the dōjutsu, the wielder is granted an automatic 50 metre field of vision around themselves which can then be extended at their discretion.[4][5]
The second ability is being able to see through solid objects, as well as some degree of telescopic sight. It can also see through most barriers, and other things such as smokescreens,[6] differentiate between non-corporeal clones and can see through techniques that would otherwise hide an opponent from normal sight.[7] The distance and the degree of telescopic sight varies from person to person, and can be improved through training. In Part I, Neji Hyūga was able to see an area of 50 metres,[5][4] but he later increases his visual range to at least 800 metres,[8] while Hinata Hyūga's range in Part II stretches at least as far as 10 km.[9] However, the Byakugan cannot see through certain barriers, such as the Four Black Fog Battle Formation used by the Sound Four.[10]
The third and one of the greatest uses of the Byakugan is the ability to see chakra, chakra flow, the chakra circulation system inside the body with great detail as well as the colour of chakra.[11] It is from this particular ability that the Hyūga Clan are able to employ their ultimate attack style: Gentle Fist. Unlike the Strong Fist, which is focused on external injuries, the Gentle Fist style focuses on internal injuries. Each strike, when placed correctly, strikes along the chakra pathway system, which is the network of vessels that carry chakra. This network is closely intertwined with the functioning of the body's organs, and so, when the keirakukei take damage, the organs suffer as well. There is no defence against the Gentle Fist, since one cannot train one's internal organs to become stronger. The only possible defence is to stop the Gentle Fist's hits from connecting. Like the Sharingan and Rinnegan, the Byakugan's ability to see chakra and its flow allows the user to detect chakra sealed barriers as well as determine when genjutsu is being used.[12][2] It was shown in the anime that the Byakugan can also discern a transformation, and a real person using the eye's ability to see chakra.[13]
Particularly skilled users of the Byakugan can take the Gentle Fist style one step further. Along the keirakurei are 361 pinprick-sized nodes called tenketsu, or chakra points, which only the more skilled users can see. When struck, the Byakugan user can choose to either seal, or forcibly open these tenketsu, thus giving the user complete control over their opponent's chakra system. So, with precision, all those points along the victim's body can be sealed, stopping the chakra flow to those areas. Able to strike without force, and yet do more damage to a ninja than some of the most powerful ninjutsu, the Gentle Fist has been labelled as the greatest taijutsu style known in all of Konohagakure.[14] In the Search for the Bikōchū Arc, Hinata demonstrated two other abilities with her Byakugan: the ability to magnify and zoom, effectively seeing every small insect in the area and to see the infrared spectrum allowing her to detect things through their body heat.[7]
Constantly using the Byakugan over a very long period of time causes severe eye strain, as seen with Neji Hyūga, who at that point, could not tell the difference between Kiba Inuzuka, and Akamaru.[15] This condition however, is not permanent.
- Sometimes the users of the Byakugan use hand seals when activating the ability, though it is also able to activate without any seals. The used seals are: Horse, Tiger with lifting just index fingers, Boar with nearly straightened fingers, Hare, Rat, Dog, Horse, Dog, Hare, Rat, Boar with nearly straightened fingers, and Snake with the right index finger lifted straight up. Sometimes just the last seal is used, and most commonly, no seals are used.[16]
- It has been said that the Sharingan was somehow derived from the Hyūga clan's Byakugan.[17]
- The Byakugan is said to have the greatest vision and insights amongst all dōjutsu.[17]
- When depicted in the anime, the eyes of the Hyūga tend to have slight hints of colour in them, despite the fact that they are supposed to be completely white.
- In the anime, the Byakugan's sight is normally illustrated in black and white. However, there are instances in the manga which contradicts this notion.[9][11]

Springs police are looking for suspects after several cars were broken into last night at the Warehouse restaurant.
The restaurant is in downtown Colorado Springs on Cimarron and Sahwatch. Police say a total of five cars were targeted and the thieves took electronics, purses, insurance cards and other valuables.
The victims noticed the damage to their cars around 10 p.m.
Sarah Tegtmeier, one of the victims, spoke with eleven news and described what she lost, "they took my insurance, my registration, my license, my debit card, my laptop, my IPod and all of my business stuff."
Police tell us they don't have suspect descriptions at this time.
Officers say this is a reminder to lock all valuables out of sight when leaving them in a car.

Ice season is off to a great start
St. Paul Ice Show.....Eagle Claw "Bucketmania" 2012
The St. Paul Ice show is considered by some to be the Super Bowl of Ice Fishing for consumers. Everything from ice jigs, land to ice ATV's, 4 room ice fishing castles and everything in between is for sale for three days in the St. Paul convention center.
As word spread from the Friday give away in the Eagle Claw booth, the consumers and the show committee knew they had their hands full the rest of the weekend. Eagle Claw gave away free "ice buckets" with our logo on them to the first 300 people that came by the booth on Friday. The mad dash was on throughout the building and at one point the crowd got so big around the EC booth that the fire marshall had to shut down the entire building to disperse the crowd.
Our highlight of the event was having Tony Roach in our booth for most of the show meeting anglers, introducing them to his line and talking ice fishing. We featured his new signature series rods, reels and combos. Three different retailers were selling these combos and we were giving away rods and Eagle Claw Ice Team beanies for those that made purchases. We also showed and some exhibitors had a few select "in-line" ice reels to sell at the show. They sold out in 30 minutes. I wish we would've had 500 - I think we could've sold all of them....They were easily the most talked about item at the show.
We also showed many other pieces of our new ice fishing inventory. Ice cleats, tip ups, jigs, buckets, other Eagle Claw ice combos and rods were well received by consumers. It was great to "walk out on the ice" and see how massive and appealing the world of ice fishing is to everyone - especially the 1,000's of people that attended this particular show
Tony and I personally talked to 4 guys that traveled 6 hours to attend the show for 1/2 day and drive back home. Maybe they're brains need a little defrosting....or.....they just can't get enough of ice fishing and all the components and camaraderie that goes with it.

In a world so insanely focused on only young people, this blog sets that imbalance right somewhat.
What a delight to partake of this beautifully and creatively dressed woman - and then share her life philosophy - thanks again for cheering me up!

I am very fortunate to know Zelda and be a dear friend of hers for over 8 years now. This woman is not only a worldly lady and fashionable, she has traveled through the villages of Africa and has helped raise money to build water wells for clean drinking water. She has advocated and helped young woman who suffered from female genital mutilation. The list goes on... Zelda always told me 'my dear you are somebody and never ever forget that, she said the 'youth' of today do not dress with manners. When we would go out she would be annoyed to see people 'grinding' on the dance floor lol, she said this was disgusting and woman are lowering themselves these days for attention. You know what Zelda has taught me so much and she's absolutely right! xoxox thank you for sharing this xoxox

Construction of 1,000 housing units for low income earners in Mkuranga District, Coast Region, has begun to bear fruit after the completion of five houses out of the 180 planned for early this year.
The project is being carried out by members of the Federation of Artists Tanzania (SHIWATA) and low-income journalists.
To start with the project would put up 1,000 units out of the earmarked 2,500 units which owned by the Federation. The federation members acquired land f in some villages in Mkuranga Dstrict.
They started by registering land or farms at the local government level where each member paid 10,000/-.
Every member of the Federation was required to register his or her piece of land with responsible district authorities for 50,000/- plus other expenses.
Many people were unaware that Shiwata was meant for only artists although the project would involve various people, including soccer players, journalists and other low-income earners.
The Federation chairman Cassim Talib says after following necessary procedures a member is allowed to build a house or develop the land for agriculture and cattle rearing.
He says because of the big number of members estimated at 2,500, "we intend to look for external support which would enable us to construct a member's house for 6.4m/-."
Other houses cost 7.3m/- and members are free to build a house of their liking depending on their monthly earnings.
According to Talib, all houses have similar size as the federation will build three rooms, a veranda, latrine and fixing tiles while the owner would be required to fix doors, windows and furniture..
Up to moment five houses out of 180 currently on construction at Mwanzega village have been completed and the rest will be ready at the end of this month.
Construction of those houses is under supervision of National Housing and Building Research Agency (NHBRA) in collaboration with the Ministry Lands Housing and Human Settlement Development.
The agency provides services to both public and private sector clients and undertakes specific tasks in support of varying policies of government in housing, urban renewal, and other construction related activities.
The company also undertakes projects on an entirely commercial basis either on its own or on a joint venture basis with local authorities and private developers
"Before kick of the project, some officials of NHBRA came to our office and train members on brick and tiles making. Some members have produced bricks and tiles without any supervision," Talib says.
He explains that construction of the houses is solely done under member's contribution and they did not receive any support from outside.
He sats the project was raised after a research done which showed that the annual income of artists does not exceed 5m/-.
He says recently a delegation from the Ministry of Information, Youth, Culture and Sports visited the housing project which would be completed in 2015.
"Until now we have completed five houses which costs 31.9m/- and two of them have already been handed to its owners who are Josephine Joseph and Flora Kafwembe who had fulfilled all requirements," he adds.
However due to an increase in construction costs, other members will have to dig more into their pockets.
Speaking at different occasions after they were handed over their houses, Josephine and Flora said their long time dreams have come true. They urged fellow members to speed up their contribution so that they own houses.
"Personally I thought the process would take much time, thanks to God who directed me to reach my dreams," says Josephine after received her house.
She could not believe if the dreams were true and promised to motivate fellow members in paying their contributions.
For her part, Flora says she believed that the project would succeed that is why she insisted on paying contributions.
"Tanzanians now have to change their minds and believe that they can own houses through contributions," she adds.
The director of Culture in the Ministry of Information, Youth, Culture and Sports, Prof. Herman Mwansoko, hailed the project saying it would assist many artists urging them to increase the speed of contribution.
For her part, the chairperson of Tanzania Film Board Rose Sayore, which her board is affiliated to Shiwata say start of the project and completion of five houses, is the beginning of decent houses for artists.
Most of us know that this is small project, now we have realized that it is a big one and would benefit more artists
The Mkuranga District Administrative Secretary, Joyce Nampesya, urged artists to make their contributions as agreed in order to complete the exercise on time and own houses.
Real Estate experts say the Tanzania construction sector continues to be one of the most exciting sectors in the Tanzanian economy.
The sector is currently experiencing a period of growth primarily driven by the recent developments in the roadwork, housing and mining industries.
Statistics show the growth rate of the sector now stands at between 12 to 15 percent and its contribution to the GDP has increased significantly.
The government is looking to continue making gains in the construction sector and is hoping to repeat and improve upon the recent gains made by the sector.
The combined sectors of works infrastructure, transport and communications are paramount to the process of development and poverty reduction within Tanzania.
The effectiveness of these sectors directly contributes to the creation of economic opportunities such as the ease of market access; increased competition; encouragement to trade, tourism and foreign investment; contribution to government revenue and increased employment opportunities.

China and South Korea say the shrine, which Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visited recently, glorifies Japan's militaristic past.
Writing in The Telegraph last week, China's ambassador to the United Kingdom, Liu Xiaoming, said: "If militarism is like the haunting Voldemort of Japan, the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo is a kind of horcrux, representing the darkest parts of that nation's soul."
A horcrux contains part of Voldemort's soul, and all seven horcruxes must be destroyed to kill him.
In response, Japanese Ambassador Keiichi Hayashi wrote in the same newspaper that fears of rising militarism in Japan are unfounded given the country's postwar record of commitment to peace.
Instead, Hayashi said that China risks playing "the role of Voldemort in the region by letting loose the evil of an arms race and escalation of tensions."

Ah, it's not influence or anything like that. Every member of NB can do this as long as it respects the rules.You got this thread opened again ...... pretty impressive influence u got there chatte gud work
i didn't know if u read it or not but i thought every one should know this
before that
I dont hate sakura
I'm open to theories based on proof
Now i'll explain why i dont accept your theory with example and what are mainly needed in theories.
Theories are based on proof and there are three steps in a theory (widely accepted in real world)
1. A Base proof
2. Using supporting proof and assumption to extend the base proof
3. Final result or new product
Narutoverse Examples
Theory 1: Sasuke will have perfect susanoo(PS)
Base proof : Sasuke has susanoo
supporting proof or assumption : Only EMS is required for getting Perfect Susanoo
Final Result : since sasuke has EMS he may get Perfect Susanoo
In the above example even though sasuke doesn't have PS yet in manga this theory is more believable and more acceptable (thrust me its not bcos the character is sasuke)
Its more believable bcos the theory takes what sasuke already has (susanoo) and takes it too the next level (perfect susanoo) and there is only one assumption so probability of it happening is 50%
Theory 2: Lee may have "Day Time tiger"
Base Proof : Lee can already open 5 gates (gai told this during fight with gaara)
supporting proof or assumption : Gai will also teach the next 2 gates and teach "Day Time Tiger"
Final Result : Lee may learn "Day Time Tiger"
Again in the above example the character being Lee has nothing to do with believing the theory
Its more beliavable than you theory bcos it takes what Lee already has(5th of 8Gates) and extend it to the next level 7th Gate and Day Time Tiger ..also it has only one assumption so 50% chance
Theory 3: Sakura will become the best medical ninja
Base Proof: Sakura has shown impressive medical ninjutsu finding cure for kakuro
supporting proof or assumption: she will only get better with time and if she was that gud in 16yrs old then in her prime she'll be the best medical ninja
Final Result: sakura may become the best medical ninja
Again this is more belivable because it take what sakura already has(medical ninjutsu) and takes it to the next level...also same as before 50% chance
Reason why i think your theories were not believable (This is my opinion)
you did not base your theory on what sakura has already shown in the manga so your theory did not have the base proof
eg for "Bringer of darkness"
Base proof : Sakura may have already know offensive Genjutsu(this already is an assumption bcos there is no proof for sakura using offensive Genjutsu)
supporting proof or Assumption : sakura is a fast learner ,kakashi told sakura is a genjutsu type , sakura espaced form a genjutsu on her own during chunin exam (these are supporting proof)
tsunade may give sakura the scroll about "Bringer of darkness" (assumption)
sakura will learn it by herself by studying the scroll (assumption)
Final Result : sakura may have Bringer of darkness
you see this is the problem sakura who does not have the base for offensive Gensutsu is given a OP offensive Genjutsu
and more than one assumption so less believable
its the same for slug mode or Yin seal
Slug mode no base proof bcos : sakura haven't shown summoning jutsu which is basic for SM
Yin Seal : again sakura haven't shown anything related to yin seal learning as of yet
all the things you have shown in the thread is supporting proof(like sakura has big forehead and yin seal will be placed in forehead) and assumptions like sakura will learn it or master it
if you can give the theory in the way i've given my theory 1,2,3 it'll be more believable
it would be nice if all those things in your theory came true but its less likely to happen
Going to get back to you, for the moment, work calls.

The president's address at the University of Cape Town capped an emotionally charged day in this picturesque coastal city, including a solemn visit to the Robben Island prison where Mandela was confined for 18 of his 27 years in captivity.
"Nelson Mandela showed us that one man's courage can move the world," Obama said during his evening speech at the university. He was flanked by a diverse array of students, underscoring Mandela's vision for a unified "rainbow nation" for the country once led by a white racist government.
In the flagship address of his weeklong trip to Africa, Obama outlined a U.S. policy toward the continent that focuses on increasing the region's ability to support itself economically, politically and militarily.
"Ultimately I believe Africans should make up their own minds about what serves African interests," he said. "We trust your judgment, the judgment of ordinary people.
Obama's address came nearly 50 years after Robert F. Kennedy delivered his famous speech at the same university. Kennedy's speech, delivered soon after Mandela was sentenced to life in prison, called on young people to launch a fight against injustice, creating ripples of hope that would "build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."
Much has changed in South Africa since Kennedy addressed the nation. The apartheid regime crumbled under intense internal and external pressure.
But Obama said that progress, in South Africa and elsewhere on the continent, rests on a "fragile foundation." In order to solidify the gains, Obama called on Africans to focus on three priorities: expanding opportunity, promoting democracy and supporting peace.
A cornerstone of Obama's efforts to expand opportunity is the new "Power Africa" initiative unveiled ahead of his speech. The venture is supported by $7 billion in U.S. investment and $9 billion from the private sector, and will seek to bring electricity to at least 20 million new households and commercial entities in an initial set of six countries: Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria and Tanzania.
The White House did not set a specific deadline for achieving that goal, but Obama advisers said it could happen within a decade. However, the first round of contributions still fall well short of the $300 billion the International Energy Agency says would be required to achieve universal electricity access in sub-Saharan Africa by 2030.
Obama opened his speech with deeply personal remarks about Mandela, tracing the anti-apartheid icon's influence on his own political activism to his young daughters. He said that standing in Mandela's cell alongside Malia and Sasha made the experience all the more poignant, reflecting on the distinction he shares with Mandela in being his country's first black president.
"Seeing them stand within the walls that once surrounded Nelson Mandela, I knew this was an experience they would never forget," he said. "I knew they now appreciated a little bit more that Madiba and other had made for freedom," Obama added, referring to Mandela by his clan name.
Obama arrived in Cape Town Sunday from Johannesburg, where he met privately with members of Mandela's family and spoke with the former president's wife. In keeping with the family's wishes, Obama did not visit Mandela in the hospital.
On a sunny winter day in the Southern Hemisphere, Obama and his family flew by helicopter to Robben Island, the prison that epitomized the struggle of Mandela and his contemporaries against apartheid rule. The Obamas were led through the island by Ahmed Kathrada, an 83-year-old former prisoner who was held alongside Mandela and had also given Obama a tour of the jail when he visited as a U.S. senator in 2006.
The Obamas solemnly peered across the bright white lime quarry where Mandela worked each day. They spent 20 minutes inside the tiny cell where Mandela spent nearly two decades of his life, all the while inspiring the anti-apartheid movement on mainland South Africa.
Before closing their visit, Obama and wife Michelle stoically entered a prison courtyard, the president's hand on the small of the first lady's back, to sign a guestbook.
"On behalf of our family we're deeply humbled to stand where men of such courage faced down injustice and refused to yield," Obama wrote. "The world is grateful for the heroes of Robben Island, who remind us that no shackles or cells can match the strength of the human spirit."
The president also stopped Sunday at a health center overseen by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a visit aimed at highlighting the impact of a U.S.-funded program to stop the spread of HIV and AIDS. The President's Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR, was started by George W. Bush and continued by Obama.
Obama praised Tutu's work in an emotional meeting in which Tutu said Africans are praying that Obama will be a success and a leader for peace, particularly in the Middle East. Many of their aides were brought to tears as the two men embraced in a hug.
The White House said the U.S. will spend about $4.2 billion on PEPFAR funding this year, money that has been used to increase the number of people receiving life-saving anti-retroviral drugs and to prevent mother-to-child transmission of the virus.
Bush, who has stayed active on Africa issues since leaving office, was scheduled to be in Tanzania Monday, the same day Obama arrives in the East African nation. The White House did not rule out the possibility of a meeting between the two presidents.

The offers are rolling in for Miami (FL) Columbus defensive back Deon Bush, who has seen his number of offers triple in the last week. The Crimson Tide are one of a number of teams that have entered the race for the talented Floridian. "Basically, I've gotten about nine or ten offers this week," said Bush. "It feels good for them to be coming in this fast. The week before, having four offers and then to get twice as many as I had in just one week is pretty exciting."Bush's most recent offer, from the Alabama Crimson Tide, made a big impression on the Columbus star."I just got an offer from Alabama," he said. "It feels really good to get the offer. It's a really prestigious school and they're known for getting the best players. It's a big honor to get offered by a school of Alabama's prestige. I talked with Coach Nick Saban and the new coach that moved up there from Miami. They were telling me how they like my size at corner and how I use my athletic ability to make plays on the ball."The 6'1 165 pounder is looking to take some trips before trimming his list."I'm going to take another junior day visit to Miami. I also might go to Florida next weekend. Alabama talked with me about visiting this spring. They said that had a junior day coming up, but I doubt I could make it on short notice. I'm getting recruited hard by most of the schools that have offered. I really don't have a favorite right now. I'm going to leave everyone equal and in the spring I should be able to narrow it down to a top five."In the meantime, Bush will hone his cover skills in preparation for a return trip to Tuscaloosa."I'm on a 7-on-7 team this offseason. I'm going to be doing that for the next three weeks and then in the summer we'll be participating in a tournament at Alabama in Tuscaloosa. My team won the national championship there last year."With a brother at Purdue (Gary Bush) and several other highly recruited teammates (Anthony Rabasa and Tacoi Sumler to name a few), Bush isn't lacking in the advice department. "They give me a lot of advice," he said. "They tell me to pick the school that's right for me- don't pick the school because someone else wants me to go there. Just to make sure when I go to a school, that I like the school, not just the coach. Distance shouldn't play much of a factor. Sometimes you have to go outside the box to find what's best for you. Everything that's best for you isn't always right where you are." Bush is a member of the Rivals.com Rivals250 to watch for 2012. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member.

Cubs 9-2 In Dempster's Last 11 Starts
One of Dempster's best outings of the season–period. Eight innings, nine punchouts, no walks…and no way Demps was letting Quade pull him early this time!
Surprisingly, the Cubs won the game without plating a single RBI, which is just another weird turn in this frustrating season.
Marmol, obviously, is a mess. He can't find the strike zone or the touch on his slider. He's been way too predictable with his pitch selection and the Marlins have made it look easy against him, and we know that's not the case when Marmol is right.
I have no qualms with Q's decision to pitch Marmol after Thursday's meltdown. It's text book to throw a closer the day following a blown save. This time, however, Quade had Marshall ready in the bullpen, and that was the game saver.
If there's any good news coming from Marmol's recent slump it's that the problems appear mechanical/mental and not physical, which keeps Marmol a valuable trade piece.
What Marlon Byrd brings to this club can not be overstated. His professionalism, his attitude, his moxy…all of it a dynamic the Cubs sorely missed during his injury. Byrd's heads-up play to gun down Hanley Ramirez at second base in the ninth inning was sensational.
I don't suspect there's much of a trade market for Byrd, but I'd be happy to see the Cubs keep him through next season. The guy's a winner, which is exactly what this roster needs more of. Byrd's a keeper.
Jim Hendry is turning the Cubs rotation into Ellis Island by bringing the poor, tired, and huddled masses of washed-up hurlers the likes of: Doug Davis, Braden Looper, Todd Wellemeyer, Rodrigo Lopez, Ramon Ortiz and now…Dave Bush.
2011 – Tex 0-1 5.79 ERA
2010 – Mil 8-13 4.54 ERA
2009 – Mil 5-9 6.38 ERA
2008 – Mil 9-10 4.18 ERA
2007 – Mil 12-10 5.12 ERA
2006 – Mil 12-11 4.41 ERA
2005 – Tor 5-11 4.49 ERA
2004 – Tor 5-4 3.69 ERA
The Pirates, for the first time since 1997, lead the NL Central. And that begs the question: are the Peg Legs that good, or the division simply that bad? I'm leaning towards the later, but rooting for Pittsburgh to win this division anyway!

(from the website:)
Straight for Equality is a national outreach and education project created in 2007 by Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) National to empower new straight allies who, unlike a more traditional PFLAG member, don't necessarily have a family connection to the gay community.
If you're one of the roughly 8 in 10 people who can say, "I have a gay friend (or coworker, or acquaintance)" this is the place for you.
Straight for Equality provides information and resources that will help straight allies understand their role in supporting and advocating for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) people. PFLAG's work with parents and families over the past 40 years has helped us learn that there is a coming out process for straight allies. This process requires support and resources if allies want to move from just feeling supportive to actively being supportive. The personal stories of how and why people come to support equality for GLBT people are a significant advantage that straight allies possess, and we'd love to help you learn how to share that story.
We're not talking about major political protests (although that's certainly an option) but the tiny everyday changes and conversations that can raise awareness and challenge assumptions and stereotypes about LGBT people. We don't demand allies to be totally 'there' on all issues and you don't have to know everything about statistics, national legislation, or state-wide ballot initiatives to stand up for equality and fairness. We just ask that you be willing to learn more and speak up when you have the chance.
We're here to be sure that all straight allies have the opportunity to share their strong and powerful voice in support of equality.
