Officials in Hawaii have canceled a tsunami advisory for the state's coastline, paving the way for beaches and harbors to reopen after widespread fears of waves generated from a powerful earthquake off the coast of Canada.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center lifted its tsunami advisory early Sunday just before 4 a.m. local time, three hours after downgrading from a warning and less than six hours after the waves first hit the islands.
The biggest waves -- about 5 feet high -- appeared to hit Maui. A popular triathlon set for the island was expected to go on as planned, with an ocean swim.
There are no immediate reports of damage, though one person died in a fatal crash near a road that was closed because of the threat.

Christmas game shows anyone?
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- On Monday, NBC debuts its limited-run holiday game show "Take It All" at 9 p.m. It runs nightly through Dec. 14 and concludes on Dec. 17.
The Howie Mandel-hosted series originally was called "Howie Mandel's White Elephant," and that's basically what it is - only with much better prizes than what you'll find at your white elephant party. We're talking luxury cars, exotic trips, VIP experiences and other things worth thousands of dollars.
When it gets to the final two players, they can choose to keep all the prizes they have or try to take all of them. If they both choose "keep mine," they go home with what they've got. If one chooses that and the other chooses "take it all," the latter person gets everything, but if they both choose "take it all," they both go home with nothing.
Turning the white elephant gift exchange into a televised game show got me thinking about how other holiday-themed things could be turned into competitions for public consumption. Here are a few I came up with:
• "Santa's Workshop of Horrors" is a "Fear Factor" take on Christmas that would include things like relays over broken glass ornaments, eggnog chugging and digging through ornament hooks while blindfolded to find the one that's not hopelessly tangled with the rest.
For the gross-out factor, contestants would eat kiviak, a traditional Inuit dish in Greenland that's popular at Christmas. It's made from auks (seabirds) preserved in the body of a hollowed-out seal and buried underground for up to six months - until they're liquefied.
For the big finishing challenge, I propose an obstacle course: pull a giant sleigh around to gather all the "12 Days of Christmas" gifts, unload them in front of a fireplace and have one contestant climb up the chimney to the roof. There, he or she will untangle a mass of rope lights and use them to rappel to the ground, and when they touch down, the other contestant will take off to scale a giant Christmas tree to top it off with a star.
The winners will get everything on their holiday wish list -- all wrapped by the losing team, who must complete the task dressed in elf costumes.
• "Living Nativities" is an action-packed challenge drawing inspiration from various parts of the Christmas story. Things would start off with a nativity challenge: building a stable, swaddling a teammate and hunting for a tiny plastic baby buried in the manger's hay. To bring the shepherds and angels into the picture, teams would have to round up a herd of sheep and then assemble a choir of angels to give an impromptu sidewalk concert.
And it wouldn't be the Christmas story without the wise men, so to work that in, teams would gather sticks of frankincense and myrrh incense to be lit on a gold burner, using clues gained from the other challenges to find the materials' locations.
Teams would play partially for charity, with the winning team and its charity getting a big prize and the charities of the losing teams getting a smaller donation. 'Tis the season, after all.
• "Project Reindeer Runway" and "Santa Chef Showdown" are thematic talent competitions. Fashion challenges in "Runway" would be ugly Christmas sweaters, Christmas shoes, pet holiday outfits and angel costumes. "Showdown" would feature chefs in full Santa costume working with a key ingredient each week, like eggnog, candy canes, sugarplums, fruitcake and maybe even some Schweddy Balls.
(Speaking of Mr. Schweddy, see him and the "Delicious Dish" gals again when NBC repeats "SNL Christmas" at 8 p.m. Friday.)
With all the terrible reality shows on the air that have inexplicably found audiences, I think these could gain some traction as seasonal shows. I'd like my payments via giant novelty check, please.

Years of condemnation and criminalisation have done little to ease the pain and suffering caused by what is now popularly known as gender-based violence – GBV, for short. Advocacy and sensitisation have not done much to arrest its spread and severity.
Or does this appear to be the situation on the ground simply because more and more cases are being reported, thanks the splendid intervention of researchers, human rights activists, the media, etc.?
It has long been established, and agencies like the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) would readily attest to this, that in all societies, women and girls are subjected to physical, sexual and psychological abuse that cuts across lines of income, class and culture.
The UN agency notes that GBV – as it is no longer merely or strictly violence against women – may be perpetrated within families, within communities or by governments.
A number of local, regional, continental and international agencies have used a wide range of fora over the decades to describe GBV as practically fitting into the "crimes against humanity" category.
For instance, the Beijing Declaration and Platform of Action state categorically that violence against women violates, impairs or nullifies the enjoyment by women of their human rights and fundamental freedoms.
Strangely, that does not seem to have made much impression if one were asked whether the voices raised have had much corrective or remedial impact in areas considered most at risk or notorious.
Field studies by journalists recently dispatched by the Tanzania Media Women Association (Tamwa) to rural areas in a number of regions in the country have established that a substantial number of cases of GBV among schoolgirls.
These are mainly in the form of forced early marriages in which the poor girls stand as helpless family "assets" without a voice of their own even on their own fate.
The last decade saw the UN and a growing number of governments view GBV as a human rights issue, with a 1993 declaration by the world body stating that such violence was "one of the crucial social mechanisms by which women are forced into a subordinate position".
The very next year, an impassioned appeal was made to governments across the globe "to take full measures to eliminate all forms of exploitation, abuse, harassment and violence against women, adolescents and girls".
The past decade having seen GBV gain recognition as a human rights violation that needs to be addressed broadly, through high-level advocacy, mass communication campaigns and legal and civil action, including support for victims. So why have we failed to sweep away the disgrace exposed by Tamwa researchers and indeed to be found in various "pockets of cultural resistance" across Tanzania?
Are our laws perhaps too soft to make a difference? Or are they simply impossible to effectively invoke, maybe? Are those pockets of cultural resistance based in communities impossible to reach and persuade into compliance with the law and respect for basic human rights?
Whatever be the explanation, there is no compelling reason for Tanzania to tolerate, much less condone or acquiesce in, GBV of whatever shape or magnitude – regardless of who the culprits or victims are.

Just build a fire in the middle chamber, and when the thermometer shows your desired temperature, the oven is ready. Use the trio of wire racks in the upper chamber to bake and roast your favorite foods to perfection, from meat and poultry to seafood and vegetables. You can also bake breads and pizzas directly on the composite stone bottom, which absorbs moisture in the dough for a crisp, golden crust. A powerful convection fan works with the oven's vaulted design to circulate heat for even baking.

Galvanized by a Graduation Speaker?
- next ›
- 442 of 734
- ‹ previous
I was fully prepared to nod off during the homilies at my daughter's Bucknell University 2010 commencement. Dr. Ben Carson was truly inspirational, though, speaking extemporaneously and with humor and passion. Here's a YouTube clip of this celebrated neurosurgeon, who separated twins joined at the head in an arduous 28 hour operation in South Africa.
What a Public Library Can Do for Any Child
The reason I bring him up is that Dr. Carson talked about the joy of the Detroit Public Library. He was the son of a domestic worker with a third grade reading level, but his mom believed so strongly in education that she required book reports from Ben and his brother. Dr. Carson talked about the riches available in any public library, and how his years of reading spurred him to be a better, more ambitious student.
"Think Big" Was the Message
You may want to read more about a person who stood before us as an example of brain power and determination, supported by his mother who taught him to believe in himself. Go look for The Big Picture: Getting Perspective on What's Important in Life or Think Big: Unleashing Your Potential for Excellence.
Gifted Hands is also available, both as a biography and as a DVD about Dr. Carson, with Cuba Gooding, Jr. playing the main role.
Living with Life-Threatening Disease
Although Dr. Carson did not discuss his recent cancer diagnosis, his 2008 book does so in Take the Risk: Learning to Identify, Choose, and Live with Acceptable Risk.
Author Bio:
Karen Y. is pleased to have attended seven graduation ceremonies for her three children.

I feel especially proud today to be an American.
Not because my candidate won.
I voted for John McCain, and he lost.
His defeat disappoints me because I think McCain would be a better president than Barack Obama.
But I'm hardly inconsolable, because I also believe that Obama could be a pretty good president.
And I hope he fulfills his immense promise.
All of this is, necessarily, pure conjecture.
One thing I'm sure about, though, is that Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2008, ranks high on the list of significant days in America's 232-year history.
It cracks the top 10, probably.
The day will be remembered always as the one on which Americans, for the first time, elected as their leader a black man.
This event was inconceivable for at least the first 180 or so years of our republic, and improbable for most of the rest.
Yet it has happened.
And so America begins its new era; for Obama's victory, it seems to me, divides our common history into the before and the after as distinctly as did, for instance, Dec. 7, 1941, and Sept. 11, 2001.
I don't mean to imply, though, that I believe race was the decisive factor in this year's election.
I don't think Obama won because voters felt compelled to assuage their guilt, or to right the wrongs of long ago.
No American alive today is responsible in any way for our country's shameful legacy of slavery, and to suggest that Obama's triumph is some form of belated restitution seems to me an insult to the man, and to the millions who voted for him.
Obama won because a majority of voters decided he's better suited than McCain to lead our country.
That said, Obama's racial heritage — his father of African descent, his mother of Caucasian — matters because it makes his achievement unique in American history.
It wasn't until 1965, when President Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act, that blacks in many states truly gained the legal right to vote free (or mostly free) from the segregationists' sinister machinations.
Yet even then, 43 years ago, it was reasonable to dismiss as folly the notion that a black man could become a legitimate candidate for president.
And none did, until Obama.
His election won't, of course, immediately transform America.
One campaign, even a presidential campaign, can't get rid of racism. I doubt anything can — hatred, like love, is a powerful force, and one too ingrained in the human psyche to be easily excised.
Yet it wasn't some ephemeral theory of psychology that I was thinking about Tuesday night as I watched the returns tell the tale.
I was thinking that this is real.
I was thinking that the very essence of what America has always strived for, that idyllic vision described with such rare eloquence in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and the Emancipation Proclamation, was in fact no mirage, beautiful to gaze upon but forever beyond our grasp.
America cannot erase the ugly blemishes that scar its past.
Yet what happened Tuesday is just as true, just as much a fact of history.
That means a great deal to me — and, I'd wager, to millions of other Americans.
What it means, above all, is that our country, as fine as she is, can still get better after so many decades.
On Tuesday, she proved it.
And so I'm proud, as always, to call myself an American.
And, though I doubt we'll ever meet, I'd be proud to hail Barack Obama with the salutation he has earned.
"Mr. President."

DENVER (AP) -- Denver won its 10th straight game Sunday as Peyton Manning threw three touchdown passes for the 72nd time of his career in a 34-12 victory over the Cleveland Browns.
Denver (12-3) pulled into a tie for first place in the AFC with Houston, which fell 23-6 to the Vikings.
Manning finished with 339 yards on 30-for-43 passing. Von Miller was in on two sacks for the Broncos, the second of which knocked Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden out of the game with a right shoulder injury.
Miller has 17 1/2 sacks on the season, breaking Elvis Dumervil's franchise record.
If Denver defeats Kansas City at home next week and Houston loses at Indianapolis, the Broncos would be the AFC's top seed.

An Exceptional Grand Complication
The Grande Sonnerie mechanism far surpasses the striking-mechanism of any other complication. With 200 repeater calibres developed since 1833, its untiring inventiveness and its constant research into the field of striking-work, Jaeger-LeCoultre's exceptional mastery has created a magnificent movement that features a Grande Sonnerie with Westminster chimes, designed to ring out the longest melody ever played by any watch with a striking-mechanism, and all this combined with a perpetual calendar and a flying tourbillon. Containing over 1300 parts and the product of a 5-year development process, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 182 is the most complex and the most sophisticated movement ever created for a wristwatch to date.

The FireBox 8 Kiln is the ideal small kiln for glass fusing, precious metal clay, ceramics, enameling, knife making, and a variety of other applications. With a maximum temperature of 2000°F, it reaches glass fusing temperatures in less than 20 minutes. It plugs into any standard 20-amp household outlet.
The kiln is buckled to its base so it can't slip off. Users can load the kiln through the top, or unbuckle the body from the floor, assemble the work, and place the kiln back over the shelf and onto the slab.
A wooden handle positioned on the back of the kiln stays cool, making this compact kiln extremely easy to carry from place to place. Using the wooden handle, the hinged lid can be opened over 90° with one ungloved hand. Because the lid is hinged, it stays out of the way when the kiln is being loaded, and eliminates the worry about where to put the hot lid when working inside the kiln.
The easy-to-read digital pyrometer allows the user to know exactly what temperature the kiln is, and whether the temperature is going up or down, making holding at specific temperatures much easier. The 9 volt battery for the pyrometer is included.
GMLT FireBox8 — This kiln offers all the convenience features of the FireBox 8 plus the GlassMaster LT3 Button Controller, which allows users to write and store up to five programs with up to eight segments each. It also includes the exclusive Skutt Glass Fire Mode — simply choose Fuse, Tack Fuse, or Slump, pick a speed based on the size and thickness of the project, and press "start." Features of the GMLT FireBox 8 include an
FireBox 8 Accessory Kit — Includes one 7 inch square × ½ inch thick kiln shelf, three 1 inch supporting posts, a sample sheet of fiber paper, and 1 lb of kiln wash.

It was all glamour for Amanda Seyfried as she posed in bars, bathrooms and pool decks for the March issue of Glamour Magazine. Rocking a dramatic eye makeup and bold, red lips, the actress gave off an old Hollywood vibe that was perfect for the shoot.
The blonde bombshell wore her long golden locks in voluptuous-yet-carefree waves as she donned everything from a bubblegum pink cocktail dress to a tank top and jeans. Her perfect pout and blue eyes were put on display in the photographs, with both highlighted in the boldest of makeup ideas.
Glamour used one of the best techniques for eyeshadow for blue eyes on Seyfried. Her peepers are lined with a heavy black eyeliner on both top and bottom lids. The makeup artist likely used a combination of liquid and pencil eyeliner before applying eyeshadow palettes that ranged from smoky gray to icy blues.
Although smoky, dark eyes and red lips should generally be worn on their own, the two trends together on Seyfried give her a look that is all glamour, and all grown up. Her lip palette ranges from a scarlet red to a soft glossy peach throughout the shoot.

Introduction to the Joomla! Bug Squad
<translate> The Joomla! Bug Squad (JBS) is a team within the Production Working Groups. Their job is to identify and fix bugs in Joomla. This includes the following:</translate>
- Scan the Joomla! CMS 3.x Bug Reporting Forum for reported issues and help community members with solving these issues.</translate>
- Report bugs on our Issue Tracker</translate>
- Fix reported bugs and resolve reported issues according to the Bug Tracking Process.</translate>
<translate> The Bug Squad is also supporting with testing and quality assurance when a new major or minor version is developed. Generally speaking the bug-squad is in the lead when a version switches from beta-stage to the stable-stage within the development cycle of Joomla!</translate>
Bug Squad Background
<translate> The Bug Squad was created in December 2007. As of May 2010, JBS has been organised into the following teams:</translate> <translate>
- Tracker Team - Monitors the forums and trackers.</translate>
- Coding Team - Creates patches for Confirmed Issues.</translate>
- Testing Team - Tests Pending Issues.</translate>
- Automated Testing Team - Creates automated system and unit tests for tracker issues.</translate>
- Migration and Upgrade Team - Responsible for supporting migration and upgrading from the prior version to the current version.</translate>
<translate> These teams are not rigid, and JBS members can participate in whatever activities they wish. The purpose of these teams are to make it easier for the JBS members to focus their efforts and learn the skills required to successfully contribute to the project.</translate>

Meet the Bug Squad Teams
The following is a list of all the Bug Squad Teams and a brief description of what each one does. Use the contact information found above if you would like to help the Bug Squad or become a JBS member!
Tracker Team
<translate> This team has the very important and sometimes difficult job of filtering all of the forum posts and bug reports and sorting out which ones are real bugs that are ready to be worked on. From the standpoint of the tracker, their job is to move issues from Open status to Confirmed status. Of course, many issues will also be put into other status codes, including Information Required, Needs Review, Duplicate, Not a Bug, and so on.</translate>
<translate> Before an issue is marked Confirmed, it needs to be reproduced and documented so that others can reproduce the problem.</translate>
<translate> The Tracker Team should also make sure the issue has the correct Type and Priority. Remember, many users reporting bugs are not familiar with all of the fields and terminology. In many cases, this could be the user's first contribution or interaction with the project.</translate>
Coding Team
The coding team works with Confirmed issues and creates patches to correct these issues if they haven't already been provided. When a patch is completed, and when a test plan has been added that tells the testers how to test the patch, the issue is changed to Pending status.
Many times the first patch submitted for an issue will not be the actual patch that is committed. There are many reasons for this. Someone else may have a different approach to the solving the issue, a tester might find a problem, or the person who submitted the patch will think of a better way to do it.
It is important to be positive and flexible and not expect that every patch you submit will go straight into the SVN. That does not mean the work is not helpful or valuable. In many cases, it is not possible to get to the end result without going through one or more tries.
Testing Team
This team tests Pending issues and, when tests are successful, documents this and moves the issue to Ready to Commit status. At this point, one of the JBS coordinators will commit the patch to the SVN.
Over time, we plan to include more automated testing into the process. Eventually, we would like every Ready to Commit issue have both a code patch and an automated system or unit test. Accordingly, it will be important for members of the testing team to be learning how to write and use system tests.
There are some tips for testing in the wiki in the Testing Checklists article.
Automated Testing Team
Automated testing is a key technology that we will incorporate into the workings of JBS. At the present, this is a somewhat specialized skill, so we will start by developing a separate team of people who are familiar with this and can help write automated tests and train other JBS members on automated testing. Our aim is to eventually make automated testing a routine part of fixing issues.

There's one thing about Mr. SGCC that drives me absolutely nuts. (Well, there's actually more than one thing, but that's a story for another day.) He suffers in silence. That is to say that, when he doesn't like something, he usually just sucks it up and doesn't say anything. This especially applies to food. I know this because over the past twenty something years, I have made and remade several dishes that he didn't really like, yet he never said so – until maybe the tenth time I served it. Case in point: When we were first married, I used to cook a lot of spaghetti squash. I served it like pasta with tomato sauce, sautéed in butter, swimming in broth… You get the picture. I loved it. He didn't. But, he never actually told me that he didn't like spaghetti squash until years later, when it just kind of came up in conversation.
Imagine how awful I felt learning this little nugget of information after years of shoving pounds of spaghetti squash in his face! I had no idea!
"Why didn't you ever say anything?" I asked incredulously.
"I don't know. I guess I didn't want to hurt your feelings." was his response.
Admirable intentions. Poor execution.

A fistula is an abnormal connection between two organs or two tissue surfaces. An anal fistula (fistula-in-ano) is a connection between the anal canal and the skin. This fact sheet will help you to understand the cause, treatment, and complications of therapy for fistula-in-ano.Topics: Rectal Pain
Fact Sheet: Proctalgia Fugax-and Other Pains160
By: W. Grant Thompson, MD, FRCPC
Many diseases of the anus and rectum may cause severe rectal pain. Usually a doctor can identify such a condition by examining the area. One pain that cannot be so identified is proctalgia fugax, a sudden severe pain that lasts for several minutes and then disappears. An overview of the condition.

Fact Sheet: Difficult to Interpret Intestinal Complaints179
By: W. Grant Thompson, MD, FRCPC
Disorders of gastrointestinal function such as the irritable bowel syndrome or functional constipation, diarrhea, or bloating are characterized by no structural abnormality. In these cases, diagnosis depends entirely upon the history, and diagnostic tests, if needed at all, are done to rule out inflammations, tumors and other anatomic gut disease. Accurate diagnosis depends upon how accurately the individual describes his or her symptoms, and how skillfully the doctor interprets them.

Conversation with The Voodoo Cafe
While I'm out shooting for the book today, I thought you'd like to check out my podcast with Rice from the blog Notes From The Voodoo Cafe . We talked about aging, style, and how to approach someone on the street for a photograph. I hope you enjoy our conversation and I look forward to hearing your comments.

Thanks for doing this interview and looking forward to Rice's next interview with you.
Glad to hear you're thinking big.
And to my delight I think your focus on 70 and over is a good thing because these wise teachers have become invisible.
Your memories make me think of my own memories with my grandmother. She was fun, kind, generous and sweet with lots of wisdom.
These older people could sure teach young people some good manners, etiquette and life lessons about how to be kind and patient with one another.
Grandmas know how to attend to the "small" things in a child's life which bring the most joy.(like sitting on the bed and clicking your heels before watching TV) I can tell you really miss your Grandma.
I think by the time you reach 70 you can d--n wear what you may please. How dare a society ignore our wisdom keepers and then have the audacity to tell them what to wear.
Thank you for your efforts to carry your message of "hope" for older people on this planet.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that OWN will break out their set age demographic and embrace the "hip" elders.

I was surprised to see Rice here, as I know her more as an arts & crafts teacher. I had the pleasure of taking a class from Rice many years ago at a rubber stamp store here in Lubbock, Texas. Very charming lady! And so knowledgable and patient with us rubber stampers in her class. Rice lives in Midland, TX, which is about 120 miles south of me. If any of you have the chance to take a class from Rice, go for it! She is well worth your time.

You and your blog - and of course the ladies and gentlemen! - are absolute genius.

I've been reading your blog for some time, loving the ladies you've featured. I just listened to the podcast, it was great. I recently returned from visiting my 96 year old father in a rehab center after he broke his hip. While there I was actually thinking how cool it would be for you to visit some of the folks there. I saw so many people who were dressed as "old folks"...but I saw a few that were so delightful..a lady with a leopard collar she wore every night to dinner, and a man who wore a suit jacket every day when he went to meals. There was another lady who had hair the color of Ilona's. I always made a point of telling her how great it looked. My own father wears his jeans, boots, vest, and cowboy hat every where he goes, and people always stop him to tell him how neat he looks. A fashion show in a nursing home would just be a lot of fun. Can't wait for your book to come out!

|竜舌 Ryūzetsu
|Naruto the Movie: Blood Prison
|Appears in
|Voice Actors
|Kekkei Genkai
|Ninja Rank
Ryūzetsu (竜舌, Ryūzetsu) was an ANBU-level kunoichi from Kusagakure, who appeared in Naruto 5: Blood Prison.
Ryūzetsu belonged to the Grass Flower Group of Kusagakure, and was childhood friends with Mui's son, Muku, and they all dreamed of resurrecting Kusagakure. Eventually, she witnessed Mui sacrificing Muku in a failed attempt to open the Box of Ultimate Bliss, leaving only his green scarf that she would wear as a bandanna for the years to come, and Ryūzetsu became very grief-stricken. She eventually allowed herself to be arrested and placed into prison Hōzukijō, where Mui was the master of, in order to stop Mui from opening the Box of Ultimate Bliss again, as well as avenge Muku.
Ryūzetsu was mildly serious as she was not amused by many things, such as Naruto's antics. She was also very strong willed and quick witted. She has shown to have some form of feelings for her childhood friend, Muku, as shown when she did whatever she could to stop him when he went on a rampage. She had a deep sense of morality and loyalty, as she refused to let Naruto die in order to prevent Mui from opening the Box of Ultimate Bliss (which she believed would make her no different from Mui sacrificing Muku), and was not scared at putting her life on the line or dying for friends, as seen when she not only jumped in front of Naruto, and was impaled by Muku, but as she also gave her own life to save Naruto's, because she could not have lived from the injury that she had sustained.
Ryūzetsu had waist-length white hair that is covered by a green bandana which belonged to Muku and grey eyes with multiple circular patters much like Kurenai Yūhi and the Rinnegan. She wore a sleeveless kimono over a green top that only has a long green sleeve covering her left arm along with the green bandana. Both her arms were bandaged up to her elbows. She also wore black trousers with shinobi sandals. Overall, she disguised herself as a man in order to infiltrate Hōzukijō, and nobody knew of her gender until she took off her kimono to dry off in front of Naruto.
Ryūzetsu was considered a genius by Muku, and she was an ANBU of her village. She can use Fire Release: Demon Lantern to create fire-like apparitions to attack her opponents, even with the Fire Release: Heavenly Prison reducing her access to her chakra (albeit the technique setting her ablaze shortly after). She can also use her clan's kekkei genkai, which allows her to heal or restore life in exchange for her own.
Plot Overview
Ryūzetsu first met Naruto in Hōzukijō as a fellow prisoner, warning him not to get himself into more trouble than he already is in. Later, when Naruto attempted his second escape by jumping off the cliff and into the raging ocean, Ryūzetsu followed him and warned him not to, to which he ignored and did anyways. She jumped after him to save him, revealing to Naruto that she's a woman. Telling the young ninja of her mission, they formed an alliance to take down Mui and the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
She later attempted to assassinate Mui while he was sleeping, but it was Maroi in disguise; this encounter allowed them to form another alliance. During a prison riot Maroi started, Ryūzetsu took advantage to attack Mui, but it turns out to be Kazan in disguise, by which time the real Mui brought the Box to the prison yard, with Naruto's chakra to open it. Ryūzetsu was surprised to hear that Mui's wish was to see his son once again, instead of reviving Kusagakure, and was horrified when Muku, who came back out of the box, became corrupted by Satori and impaled his father.
Throughout Satori's rampage, Ryūzetsu kept trying to reason with Muku, with Satori's ability of sensing fear and killing intent being ineffective against her, due to her lack of either. Eventually, when Satori thrust his claw at Naruto, Ryūzetsu jumped forward to block it, only for both of them to be impaled. Naruto eventually defeated Satori and Muku with the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken with Mui's help, and Muku and Mui died together. Ryūzetsu remembered her old times with Muku, and shed tears for his death. When Naruto's stab wound was too much for Sakura to heal, Ryūzetsu stepped forward with her Dragon Life Reincarnation to save Naruto's life at the cost of her own. She and Mui were then buried outside Hōzukijō, with Muku's bandanna tied around her gravestone.
- Ryūzetsu's name means "Dragon Tongue".
- Along with Muku, her Kusagakure forehead protector is incorrectly depicted with four grass blades, instead of the normal three.

Engineering, or main engineering (Klingonese translation: reactor pit), is the location from which the ship's main power systems are controlled. Engineering is the primary assignment of engineers and chief engineers.
Engineering's primary purpose is to be the central point for control of all engineering systems aboard a starship, especially those related to propulsion and power generation. The matter/antimatter reaction chamber (also known as the warp core) is located in engineering.
Engineering can also be used as a command and control center, overriding primary centers such as the bridge or auxiliary control.
22nd century design
NX-class starships of the 22nd century were the first Human vehicles to carry a warp reactor capable of speeds up to warp 5. (ENT: "Broken Bow") Aboard an NX-class ship, a section of engineering was situated on E Deck. (ENT: "Zero Hour")
23rd century design
On the original Template:ShipClass starships, engineering was a two-deck-tall room that housed the main dilithium reactor and the engineering core as well as a large transparent grill that overlooked power conduits. The room was extensively refitted on Constitution-class starships in the late 2260s to include additional computers, offices, and rooms around the main area. (TOS: "The Corbomite Maneuver", "The Naked Time", "The Conscience of the King", "The Ultimate Computer", "Mirror, Mirror", "Day of the Dove")
Towards the end of the 23rd century, the engineering department on refit Constitution-class starships was drastically changed, spanning multiple decks. The uppermost level served as the structural support strong back of the ship, and was the anchoring framework for the connecting dorsal and the warp nacelle pylons.
On the forward end of this level was the engineering computer monitoring room, which encircled the intermix shaft and opened, to the rear, into the engineering computer bay. The rear bulkhead of the computer bay contained an emergency section door which lowered to the deck below, and separated the warp engine room from the extended horizontal intermix area; the door dropped automatically in the event of a radiation leak or pressure loss.
On the Constitution-class ship, a narrow corridor bypassed the computer bay on the port side and led aft, down the center of the level. On either side of this passageway were mounted the four maneuvering thrusters which rested beneath the upper hull of the secondary hull strong back.
These thrusters were used for vessel course control when within close proximity of drydock facilities.
The lower engineering deck typically housed the engineering department. Located in the center of the room, and extending for many levels both above and below the deck, was the vertical linear intermix chamber.
This complex, a radically new design in intermix technology, provided operational power for the impulse drive system and furnished enough additional energy to power all other shipboard systems. Both matter and antimatter for this chamber were contained in a series of magnetic bottles, which were normally housed in pods at the base of the intermix shaft.
These pods could be ejected from the ship in case of an extreme emergency via two large blow-away panels in the outer hull. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)
Alternate reality
Engineering aboard the alternate reality's USS Enterprise lacked the streamlined innovations of the prime reality starship. (Star Trek)
24th century design
24th century starships featured a more modern approach to the engineering facility. Aboard the Template:ShipClass starship, engineering was an open-plan facility, directly accessible from the corridor. Consisting of two primary levels, it housed the starship's warp core and primary engineering support systems.
The corridor bulkhead housed the master systems display. Inside the main section, the master systems display was the operational focus of the room.
Beyond this, heading towards the warp core, the chief engineer's office and several support consoles were located on the left, and the assistant chief engineer's console on the right. These formed part of the bulkhead protecting the main part of engineering from the warp core.
Access to the upper level, a circular area surrounding the warp core, could be found by a ladder on the left of the core or an elevator on the right. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint")

Yard and Garden: Strawberries
AMES, Iowa — Fresh strawberries, a favorite of almost everyone, are relatively easy to grow and hardy throughout Iowa. Horticulturists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach share cultural practices to reduce damage and losses caused by insects and diseases. Gardeners with additional questions may contact the ISU Hortline, email@example.com or 515-294-3108.
There are small masses of foam-like material on my strawberry plants. What are these foam-like masses?
The foam-like masses on the strawberry plants were probably created by the meadow spittlebug. The meadow spittlebug is one of several species of this commonly recognized group of sap-feeding insects. Spittlebugs are familiar because of the frothy, wet mass of "spittle" that surrounds the nymphs as they feed on sap from their host plants. The spittle is produced by the immature stage of the insect (the nymph) and protects the nymphs from natural enemies and desiccation.
While the foam-like masses of spittlebugs are rather disgusting, spittlebugs cause little harm to plants. Control efforts are usually not warranted.
Some of the strawberries in my garden are covered with a gray, velvety growth. What is it and how can it be controlled?
The gray, velvety growth on your berries may be gray mold. It is also known as Botrytis fruit rot. Gray mold is favored by poor air circulation and a high humidity in the strawberry planting. The most commonly infected berries are those touching the soil or other infected berries.
Cultural practices can reduce losses due to gray mold.
- Do not fertilize June-bearing strawberries in spring. The application of a nitrogen-containing fertilizer in spring promotes lush, vegetative growth. Dense foliage slows the drying of the strawberry planting, resulting in a more favorable environment for gray mold.
- Control weeds in the strawberry bed. Weeds reduce air circulation and slow the drying of the strawberry plants.
- Mulch the planting with straw to keep the berries off the ground. Berries resting on damp or wet soil are more susceptible to gray mold.
- During dry weather, irrigate in the morning when using a sprinkler. Plants dry quickly when irrigated in the morning.
- "Clean-pick" the strawberry planting. Harvest the strawberry planting frequently. Pick berries as soon as they are ripe. Handle berries carefully during harvest to avoid bruising the fruit. Immediately refrigerate the unwashed berries. Berries that exhibit symptoms of gray mold should be picked and removed from the bed.
- Finally, fungicides are used by commercial strawberry growers to control gray mold. However, cultural practices are the best way to control Botrytis fruit rot in home gardens.
When should strawberries be harvested?
Harvest strawberries when the fruit are uniformly red (fully ripe). Pick the berries with the caps and stems attached to retain firmness and quality. Pinch off the stem about one-fourth inch above the cap. Don't pull them off.
Strawberries should be picked about every other day in warm weather, every three to four days in cool weather. The harvest period for some June-bearing varieties may last three to four weeks. Strawberries can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five to seven days. Optimum storage conditions are a temperature of 32 F and a relative humidity of 90 to 95 percent.

2012 International Year of Sustainable Energy for All
International Year of Sustainable Energy for All: 2012
On 16 February 2011, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted a Resolution (A/RES/65/151) declaring Year 2012 to be the International Year of Sustainable Energy for All.
In that Resolution the General Assembly:
Decides to declare 2012 the International Year of Sustainable Energy for
Notes the efforts of the United Nations system to work towards ensuring
energy access for all and to protect the environment through the sustainable use of
traditional energy resources, cleaner technologies and newer energy sources;
Requests the Secretary-General, in consultation with relevant agencies
within the United Nations system and UN-Energy, and mindful of the provisions of
the annex to Economic and Social Council resolution 1980/67, to organize and
coordinate activities to be undertaken during the Year;
Encourages all Member States, the United Nations system and all other
actors to take advantage of the Year to increase awareness of the importance of
addressing energy issues, including modern energy services for all, access to
affordable energy, energy efficiency and the sustainability of energy sources and
use, for the achievement of the internationally agreed development goals, including
the Millennium Development Goals, sustainable development and the protection of
the global climate, and to promote action at the local, national, regional and
international levels;
Requests the Secretary-General to submit to the General Assembly at its
sixty-seventh session a report on the implementation of the present resolution,
taking into account, inter alia, the initiatives taken by Member States and
international organizations to create at all levels an enabling environment for the
promotion of access to energy and energy services and the use of new and
renewable energy technologies, including measures to improve access to such
More than three billion people in developing countries rely on traditional biomass for cooking and heating. One and a half billion people are without electricity and even when energy services are available, millions of poor people are unable to pay for them.
Thus, there is an inextricable link between energy and sustainable development and modern, cleaner and more efficient energy is relevant in the eradication of poverty.
Access to modern affordable energy services in developing countries is essential for the achievement of the internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals, and for achieving sustainable development, which would help to reduce poverty and to improve the conditions and standard of living for the majority of the world's population.
Therefore, the General Assembly of the UN emphasized the importance of investing in access to cleaner energy technology options to achieve a climate-resilient future for all and also pointed out the need to improve access to reliable, affordable, economically viable, socially acceptable and environmentally sound energy services and resources for sustainable development.
It also stressed that the wider use and exploration of available and additional cleaner, new and renewable sources of energy require technology transfer and dispersal on a global scale, including through North-South, South-South and triangular cooperation. It also emphasized the need to take further action to mobilize the provision of adequate financial resources, of sufficient quality and arriving in a timely manner, as well as the transfer of advanced technology to developing countries and countries with economies in transition for providing efficient and wider use of energy sources, in particular new and renewable sources of energy.
Further, it reaffirmed the importance of national policies and strategies to combine, as appropriate, the increased use of new and renewable energy sources and low carbon emission technologies, including cleaner fossil fuel technologies, and the sustainable use of traditional energy services, and enhancing national capacities to meet the growing energy demand, as appropriate, supported by international cooperation in this field and by the promotion of the development and dissemination of appropriate, affordable and sustainable energy technologies, as well as the transfer of such technologies on mutually agreed terms.
With leadership from UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, UN-Energy – a coordinating group of 20 UN agencies – is undertaking a new global initiative, Sustainable Energy for All.
This initiative will engage governments, the private sector, and civil society partners globally to achieve three major goals by 2030:
- Ensure universal access to modern energy services.
- Reduce global energy intensity by 40 per cent.
- Increase renewable energy use globally to 30 per cent.

Nonpoint source
A1081 London Colney Bypass, line source of air and noise pollution. Source: Nigel Cox
A nonpoint source refers to a source of pollution from an origin other than a well defined point. The term is most often applied to air pollution, water pollution and noise pollution. Nonpoint pollution sources may be classified as either line sources, area sources, or less frequently as volume sources. The classic line source is a linear highway, which produces both air pollution and noise pollution. A classic area source is a parcel of land, which produces water pollution in the form of surface runoff containing excessive amounts of nitrates, phosphates, pesticides and herbicides.
The attention to nonpoint sources was heightened, when researchers realized that most human exposure to air and noise pollution derived from nonpoint sources. In the case of noise pollution, over ninety percent of environmental noise exposure worldwide arises from line sources .Less commonly, nonpoint sources of light pollution, thermal pollution and radioactivity are encountered as environmental issues.
Line source air pollution
Interstate 66, Virginia, subject of first U.S. Supreme Court case involving line source air and noise pollution. Source: Creative Commons While dispersal of air pollutants from point souces has been understood since the 1930s, as outlined by Beychok (2005), the theoretical basis for linear sources of air pollution only became addressed in the late 1960s. The theory of plume rise and Gaussian dispersion developed by Bosanquet, Pearson, Sutton, Pasquill and Briggs is the basic underpinning of line source dispersion, first solved in closed form by Hogan and Venti.
The line source model of Hogan and Venti was first applied to major highways such as the extension of Interstate 66 in northern Virginia and the New Jersey Turnpike widening project, the first case being the initial time an air pollution line source application was included in a U.S. Supreme Court case. Within a decade the air pollution line source model was being applied by most USA state highway departments, the U.S. Federal Aviation Agency and many western European countries.
Hogan and Venti's original model
The line source model (see adjacent equation) was developed to analyze a host of variables, including roadway geometry, wind velocity, turbulence, vehicle mix, emissions library based upon year of analysis, vehicle speed distribution and other parameters.
These line source models have allowed urban planners in the United States to project the future compliance of urban highway construction projects with any relevant state air quality standards as well as with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).
Line source noise pollution
Line source computer models are used in design of noise abatement as in this sound wall. Source: U.S. DOT Substantial building of urban highways and transit systems in the 1960s and 1970s generated the demand for understanding the transmission of sound from nonpoint sources. The technical solution is complex, not only due to the linear source geometry, but because the issues of refraction and diffraction must be addressed in the presence of often complex urban terrain and micrometeorology. Refraction can be due to wind shear or lapse rate (vertical temperature gradient near the Earth surface).
By the late 1960s, detailed computer models were developed by ESL Inc. and by BBN, two private firms pioneering this technology. The models were calibrated in a number of major USA highways including U.S. 101 in California, the New Jersey Turnpike, and several major urban highways in Boston, Massachusetts. Not only are such models useful in prediction of sound levels near roadways, but they can be used to design mitigation measures such as sound walls and residential setbacks.
Area source water pollution
Area sources of water pollution began to be recognized as significant in the middle of the twentieth century. The chief sources of such pollution which end up in surface water worldwide are: runoff of excess nitrates and phosphates from agricultural land, runoff of hydrocarbons and lead from parking lots and roadways, feedlots which produce excessive coliform bacteria, surface mining operations and grading operations that generate sediment runoff. Generally these pollutants are deposited on surface soils or pavement, and subsequently are carried by surface runoff to receiving waters.
Some of the area sources are subject to regulation in the USA, such as feedlots, surface mining and some agricultural uses. However, historically and worldwide, these uses still generate massive amounts of water pollution runoff.
Earliest detailed quantification of the area source phenomenon was conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and ESL Inc. for instrumented test watersheds in Athens, Georgia.

Other area sources
Other area sources include air pollution sources such as: wildfires; dust from duststorms or agricultural tilling; distributed stack systems such as might be encountered in a large petroleum refinery. Area sources of light pollution might consist of a large illuminated urban area emitting skyglow that could interfere with astronomical observatories. Area sources of radioactivity could include such phenomena as radon gas emission from subsurface rock strata or extensive phosphate rock surface mines, which can often contain considerable amounts of radioactive uranium.
Regulatory basis
The earliest legal framework for analyzing nonpoint sources arose in the USA in the early 1970s. In response to citizen concerns for the burgeoning network of urban highways, the U.S. Congress and various state highway departments began to define nonpoint sources of noise and air pollution from roadways as regulatory targets. In recognition of this focus, air pollution from vehicles began to become defined in the terms of grams per mile, indicating the explicit association of air pollution emissions with a linear source.
Correspondingly, passage of the Clean Water Act (and subsequent amendments) in the USA led to the need to produce computer models of both stationary sources as well as area sources of pollution entering surface waters. Finite difference models were developed to address the transport of soluble and insoluble pollutants as overland flow to reach destination rivers or lakes. The first comprehensive model development and calibration of these models occurred in the USA in the early 1970s. The first basin-wide application was to the Truckee River Basin in California and Nevada, in the USA.; once the models had been calibrated for the Truckee Basin, a tool was available to deduce the relationship of land use and land management decisions to resultant river concentrations to a gamut of pollutants (e.g. pesticides, nitrate, phosphate, sediment). Applications soon followed in other developed countries.

Sarah replies:
So this all started a month ago, I had been on my period for five days and I had sex with my boyfriend during my period. Around four days later we had sex again. Then we had it once more a week after. He usually goes in me for like 15-30 seconds without a condom, and then he puts a condom on. We've been thinking that I am pregnant, but instead of going anywhere to get checked, we're just waiting for me to get my period, because he thinks he didn't pre-ejaculate and I didn't know you couldn't feel pre-ejaculation until I read other peoples questions and your answers. We're just so afraid that I might be pregnant. We're both young and not ready for a baby. I AM SO SCARED! I can't even explain I have a bright future ahead of me. Is there a possibility I can be pregnant? I am going to keep waiting for my period its supposed to come next week, but what do I do? I am so afraid to even think about it. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! What are early signs of pregnancy?
You're right, unprotected sex (even without ejaculation) has both pregnancy and STI risks. Pre-ejaculate can contain sperm and it's not really something that one is going to "feel" when it happens (especially inside the vagina). Also, it's not always possible for men to pull out before any ejaculation happens at all. That's why we always stress the importance of using condoms for ALL genital contact. While the risks with pre-ejaculate are typically less than those with full ejaculation, there is still some risk associated with any unprotected contact.
It sounds like (based upon your description) it's too late for emergency contraception, which can be taken as late as 120 hours after your risk (though the sooner you take it, the better). So at this point, you've basically got two choices. You can either wait for your period to show or take a pregnancy test once it's been at least 10-14 days since your risk (or once your period is late). At that point, you will be able to take a pregnancy test and expect a reliable result. If you take a test and it comes up negative but your period is still a no-show, you can re-test in a week to verify your result. You will also want to head to your health care provider soon for a full gynecological exam (if you haven't had one recently) and for STI screenings since you have had unprotected contact (your partner should also be tested).
As to pregnancy "signs," it's pretty worthless to worry about those. Most of the signs/symptoms of pregnancy don't show up until well after a period has been missed. The typical signs that people talk about (things like morning sickness, breast tenderness, etc.) are related to the hormonal changes that happen in your body when you are pregnant. Those hormone levels won't be high enough to cause those things until well after you would get a positive test. Also, different women experience different symptoms related to pregnancy. Some women have virtually no symptoms (or don't have them until much later), others have only one or two, some have every symptom it's possible to have. Some symptoms of other things can also be very similar to those traditional pregnancy signs that people talk about. For example, it's very possible to mistake a simple stomach bug or stress related tummy upset for "morning sickness" if you're worried and looking at everything your body does as a possible sign of pregnancy. So don't worry about signs; either wait for your period or take a test.
So what if you miss a period and/or get a positive pregnancy test? Well, your first step is to head to your doctor or local Planned Parenthood or other reputable clinic (do be careful about what clinic you choose, since they are not all created equal). You will want to have the pregnancy verified by a medical professional and then talk with someone about your options. You have essentially three options when it comes to dealing with a pregnancy: abortion, adoption, or parenting. If you choose to have an abortion, you only have a certain amount of time to do so. If you plan to continue a pregnancy, then it's vital to start getting prenatal care right away and to start planning either for an adoption or to parent yourself. There should be folks available at the clinic you choose to discuss your specific situation and your options with you. We also have several articles on this site that might be helpful for you to look at:
If you are pregnant, remember that this is your choice. Whether you choose parenting, adoption, or abortion, no choice is automatically right or wrong. You are not a bad person for making one choice over another. You must look at the options and at what is best for you right now and make that choice. A trained counselor at a good clinic will be able to help you discuss your options.
Whether you are pregnant from this contact or not, it sounds like it's time for you and your partner to sit down and have a good heart-to-heart about what's going on when you are sexually active. It is important to make sure everybody understands the risks associated with all sexual activities and that you're both on board with taking the appropriate precautions.
