- Sep 24:
- Mark Kiszla: Fan from Mexico sees his favorite Broncos team, but not a victory
- Texans defensive end J.J. Watt too tough for Broncos to unplug
- Broncos say team, not individual, responsible for allowing big plays
- Sep 23:
- Broncos' fourth quarter rallies by Manning may be deceiving
- Broncos' Peyton Manning, Demaryius Thomas out of sync
- Former Broncos coaches Kubiak, Phillips enjoy Texans' victory
- Manning, defense off the mark as Denver Broncos fall to Houston Texans
Yes, on the first long touchdown pass to Houston star receiver Andre Johnson, a safety was supposed to be back to help burned cornerback Tracy Porter.
On the second deep touchdown pass from Houston quarterback Matt Schaub to Kevin Walter that beat Porter — well, there's a reason cornerbacks make large salaries ($4 million in his case).
"The first one, yes, the second one, no," Broncos coach John Fox said when asked at his Monday news conference if there was supposed to be safety help on the two long touchdown passes. "The second one was a great throw."
The touchdowns — 60 yards to Johnson and 52 yards to Walter — were pivotal in the Texans' 31-25 victory over the Broncos on Sunday at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
On the touchdown to Johnson, it appeared safety Mike Adams moved up to help on a route crossing in front of him as Johnson was beating Porter.
"It wasn't like a mystery," Fox said. "They were the same route, two different people. It was something we'd seen. We just didn't execute as well as we need to."
Porter was removed from the game after the second touchdown pass and replaced by Chris Harris. Porter has been bothered by a bruised knee but still his performance fell off considerably from week 1, when he was named the AFC defensive player of the week.
Meanwhile, the NFL confirmed a report by ESPN that Fox will be fined $30,000 while defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio will be fined $25,000 for their sideline outbursts at replacement officials last Monday night in a 27-21 loss at Atlanta. Fox said Monday the fines, and the specific dollar amounts, are news to the Broncos coaches as they had yet to receive communication from the league of any wrongdoing early Monday afternoon.
"I have not received any notification," Fox said. "There's a league policy and procedures. Like any dealings with the league, it's private. Any announcement made will have to be made by them."
Fox and Del Rio, by the way, demonstrated much calmer sideline decorum in the game Sunday against Houston.

AC/DC probably said it best when they sang, "It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n roll." But really, that observation could apply to any artist in any genre, living out of a backpack and guitar case, trying to make a living playing music. It's not an easy life, particularly if you're trying to raise a family or stick to your own distinct musical vision despite its difference from mainstream tastes, and it's something that's explored in the upcoming documentary "Folk."
Directed by Sara Terry (Fambul Tok), the movie explores the new indie folk scene, where house concerts, and playing for cramped, but enthusiastic audiences of 20-30 people is the new norm. Social networking and folk conferences also help keep musicians and fans (and sometimes folks who are both) connected, all while they hit the road, trying to live the dream. And in this exclusive trailer, you'll see the variety of stories Terry spins in "Folk," from a four-month pregnant singer making her way on the scene, to a briefly famous folkster still clinging to that past glory. It's all compelling stuff, and looks to be warmly told.
"Folk" will premiere at the Nashville Film Festival this Friday, April 19th at the Regal Green Hills Cinema. Watch below.

David knew one of Iran's largest nuclear facilities—the uranium enrichment plant at Fordow—was just a few miles away over the ridge, and sure enough, a split second later, he heard the deafening roar of explosions, one after another in rapid succession. He turned and saw enormous balls of fire and plumes of smoke rising into the sky and the four Israeli jets disappearing into the clouds.
But then another strike package came swooping down behind them. Four more Israeli fighters—emblazoned with the blue Star of David on their wings—descended like lightning. He assumed their mission, too, was to attack the facility down the road. But David watched in horror as one of the jets first fired an air-to-ground missile at the heart of the mosque behind him. They were sending a message to the Twelfth Imam and to all his followers. But they were about to destroy David's plan.
His instinct was to get up and run for cover, but it was too late, and he had to do everything possible to protect Javad Nouri. That was his mission. Under no circumstances could he allow Nouri to die. He absolutely had to deliver the aide back to the Mahdi wounded but alive and indebted to David. It was, he believed, the only chance to gain the Mahdi's trust and the only shred of a chance he had to be invited into the inner circle. Then again, did any of that matter now? The war he had been sent to prevent was under way. The carnage on both sides was going to be incalculable. The entire region was about to go up in flames. What was left for him to do?
Suddenly the ground convulsed as a series of explosions ripped through the complex. The minarets began to totter. People were screaming again, running in all directions as the first tower came crashing down and the second followed. David covered his head and made sure Nouri was covered too. Then, as the smoke began to clear, he turned and surveyed the carnage. Bodies were sprawled everywhere. Some were dead. Others were severely wounded. David turned Nouri over. He was covered in blood. His eyes were dilated, but he was breathing. He was still alive.
Guns drawn, three injured bodyguards soon rushed to David's side. With his help, they carefully picked up Nouri and carried him to the white SUV, severely damaged by the car bombing nearby but still intact and still running. Together, they laid Nouri down on the backseat. One security man climbed in the back with him. Another climbed into one of the middle seats. The third shut and locked the side door, then got in the front passenger seat.
"Wait, wait; you forgot these," David yelled just before the guard closed the door. He grabbed the box of satellite phones and gave them to the guard. "The Mahdi wanted these. They don't all work. But some of them do."
Then he pulled out a pen and quickly wrote his mobile number on the box. "Have the Mahdi's people call me and tell me how Javad is. And tell me if there's anything I can do for the Mahdi himself."
The guard thanked David and shook his hand vigorously. Then he shut the door, and what was left of the motorcade raced off.
David stood there alone as the ground shook again. More Israeli jets were swooping down from the heavens. They were firing more missiles and dropping more bombs on targets just over the mountains. For a moment, David couldn't move. He stared at the billows of smoke rising from the air strikes over the horizon and tried to calculate his next move.
He looked to the street, searching for the taxi he'd asked to wait. It was nowhere to be seen, but he could hardly blame the driver. People were panicked from the gunfire, the car bombing, and the air strikes. They were fleeing as rapidly as they could in every direction. David knew he had to get away as well. He couldn't afford to be caught by the police and dragged in for questioning. He had a mission. He had a plan. He had a team that was counting on him. He knew he had to stay focused, yet he grieved for those wounded around him. So he turned and rushed to the side of one severely wounded guard who was slipping into unconsciousness. Hearing sirens approaching from every direction, David took off his jacket and used it to put pressure on the man's bleeding leg. As he did, he silently prayed over the man, asking the Lord to comfort and heal him.
Ambulances began arriving on the scene. Paramedics were soon rushing to the wounded to triage them and get the most critical cases to the nearest hospitals. Amid the chaos and confusion, David saw his opportunity. He took a pistol off the wounded bodyguard and slipped it into his pocket. Then he moved to another of the downed guards. The man seemed to be staring up at the sky. His mouth was open. But when David checked for a pulse, he found none. David closed the man's eyes, then quickly lifted a spare magazine and took the guard's two-way radio.
Firefighters were now arriving to battle multiple blazes. More police officers were pulling up as well. They began to secure the crime scene and interview what few witnesses had not fled the scene quickly enough. David tried to use the commotion as cover. He was determined not to be questioned, much less exposed. But then he heard someone shouting behind him. David turned and saw an elderly cleric, blood splattered all over his robes, pointing at him.
"Talk to that man!" the cleric said to a police officer. "He was here when all the shooting started. And I think he just took something off that dead body."
The policeman looked directly at David and ordered him to stop. David didn't dare. With a surge of adrenaline, he pivoted hard and began sprinting into the blazing wreckage of the mosque. The officer shouted again for him to halt and began running after him, blowing a whistle and calling other officers to join the pursuit.

Astronics Corporation Stock Downgraded (ATRO)
TheStreet) -- Astronics Corporation (Nasdaq: ATRO) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from buy to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and reasonable valuation levels. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself, unimpressive growth in net income and poor profit margins.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 5.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 22.1%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- ATRO's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.28 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.15, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- The gross profit margin for ASTRONICS CORP is currently lower than what is desirable, coming in at 27.40%. It has decreased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 7.20% trails that of the industry average.
- Despite any intermediate fluctuations, we have only bad news to report on this stock's performance over the last year: it has tumbled by 38.91%, worse than the S&P 500's performance. Consistent with the plunge in the stock price, the company's earnings per share are down 26.92% compared to the year-earlier quarter. Although its share price is down sharply from a year ago, do not assume that it can now be tagged as cheap and attractive. The reality is that, based on its current price in relation to its earnings, ATRO is still more expensive than most of the other companies in its industry.

These are my top 12 favorites.
1. What are mobile friendly library sites offering? A survey. (April 2010)
Popularity does not always correlate with usefulness or significance, I have a few posts relating to social media that were retweeted upwards of a 100 times but in my opinion probably don't deserve the attention, but this one is both useful and popular. It was at the time (there are now a few surveys in academic journals) one of the first fairly comprehensive survey of mobile library sites features at a time libraries were wondering how to do mobile sites and is one of my most tweeted and by far most cited blog post (e.g OCLC Abstracts, ALA OITP report, NFAIS etc). In fact it was even mentioned by my nominator on my Mover & Shaker citation!
Does it deserve all the recognition? At the risk of sounding too boastful, I think yes. It was not a comprehensive survey in terms of listings of numbers but I am proud of the way I organized each section and the 3 styles and compared like to like... I followed it up later with one on mobile native apps and more recently mobile databases.
2. Twelve User points of need - where to place your services online (Oct 2010)
This is one blog post I still refer to sometimes. In many ways it's nothing special, I am hardly the first librarian to come across the concept of point of need, but in this post I systematically list possible points online and it seemed to be useful to other librarians. Whether it is a link to a faq or a chat point, it is a useful list of points you can consider placing your services.
I was amazed to see it was in the top 10 blog posts on the hugely popular iLibrarian blog!
3. Why libraries should proactively scan Twitter & the web for feedback - some examples (June 2010)
While I blogged about techniques to scan twitter before this, this was the first post, I actually shared the results and experiences (with kind permission from my superiors at my place of work). I have a lot more data now, see more recent presentation, but I can say very little to improve on what I wrote here. It was and still is I feel a powerful piece for advocating that libraries should use social media to connect with users.
4. Eight Articles about the future of libraries that made me think (May 2010)
I have generally refrained from blogging about weighty issues like future of libraries up to recently, going so far to even blog my unofficial thoughts on a short-lived posterous blog. This blog post which summaries eight provocative blog posts on future of libraries was written more for myself as a reminder to think of the big issues and not get too caught up in the details and the short view.
More recently it inspired Is librarianship in crisis and should we be talking about it? and
5 inspirational words of wisdom to librarians
5. Funniest library related movies made using Xtranormal (October 2010)
Library School: Hurts So Good
I can't remember what inspired me to do this, but I do remember spending hours searching Youtube with keywords Xtranormal and Youtube. I still find the 7 list of movies created using Xtranormal amusing, including a 8th one on FRBR & cataloguing that came out later.
6. Twelve good library videos that spoofs movies or tv (Aug 2010)
This is the predecessor of #5. I knew about Librarians Go Gaga: 9 Of The Funniest Library Videos even then but I really loved the two KU Libraries spoof of Lord of the Rings and Matrix which inspired me to go hunt down a list of other movies! To this day, I don't think any library video has topped those two.
7. Opensearch vs custom toolbar vs smart keyword vs bookmarklet (I) (April 2009)
In many ways , this is the blog spot that started it all. I had other older blog posts on the older blog, but I remember really getting in the groove with this one. In fact, this blog post was bursting to get out of me, and I knocked out the next few in the series over the weekend. In the early days of blogging, I had dozens of such blog posts flowing , a lot were crazy ideas describing ideas that probably weren't practical or were mentioned simply because it sounds cool (back then I had a poorer sense of what users would adopt), as a result most of my purely tech based posts suffer with the test of time, hence you don't find that many in the list here.
This one actually stands up quite well, talking about how libraries can extend usage of services even if they don't visit the library site. It even caught the attention of a "Googler" who called me a "Library scientist" :)
This was updated more recently for discovery tools in
6 ways to use Web Scale Discovery tools without visiting library sites
8. Official Library Twitter accounts- what factors are correlated with number of followers? (May 2009)
Back in 2009, libraries were then starting to go onto Twitter. I hadn't yet started ours, but I was starting research and I began a series of posts studying Libraries on Twitter. The "research" and "Analysis" here is laughable, but I think it does show that at that point in time there were and perhaps still are quite a few unanswered questions on library twitter policy, e.g. To follow or not to follow, expected response time etc.
Earlier this year, I began thinking about discovery tools. I noticed quite a few articles and examples of libraries that questioned this trend and did "bento" or segmented style presentations and put them all in one post. The jury is still out on this, but I think this has potential to be really interesting.
10. Five library related tasks I hope Siri can do (Oct 2011)
Steve Job had just passed away and I had just blogged one attempt to parody Steve Jobs keynote speech , and imaging what he would say if he reinvented the library catalogue. The next blog post was me imagining what Siri could do for libraries.
Back then,I was then thinking of getting a iPhone 4S or switching to Android. This blog post I believe was one of the reasons that led me to the former. Like many I wasn't too impressed with iPhone 4S but after this post, it was too hard to resist getting it just to try Siri! It's still too early to tell, but I suspect within 1-2 years some of the things I postulated here will be possible so you can do many library related tasks via voice input.
11. Subject guides on web 2.0 startup pages - 12 widgets (April 2009)
This was one of my first blog posts to achieve any level of popularity by being retweeted a few times. This was before I was using libguides but the widgets mentioned could be used on anything from netvibes to Libguides itself.
In later inspired a blog post on using dashboard for library service points.
Back in 2009-2010, I was unwittingly doing my own Library 2.0, 23 things program by exploring free/cheap web 2.0 tools and considering library implications, for example I was studying users checkin of 4square library sites, playing with search widgets, studying RSS use for distributing library news, RSS for aggregating academic research, creating information dashboard for information desk duties, even experimenting with Bayesian filtering of rss feeds.
There were the "mobile experiments" after Dec 2009, from using cardstar to use a phone as a library card , checking library catalogue using mobile phone as barcoder scanner, posts on my workflow using iphone here and here.
But I was proud to notice that my blog post exploring google calenders and Libraries was in fact a recommended post for a UK Library 23 things programme. Almost similar is Crowdsourcing and libraries which is recommended reading for a few library courses.
So these are blog posts that I am proudest of. For long time readers, which of the blog posts I have written since 2009 were among your favourites? Which ones influenced you, entertained you, or otherwise impacted you the most? We bloggers write mostly for ourselves, but knowing that our blog posts have some effect on the real world is very encouraging as well.

Hollywood Hills News
The incident took place on the 1700 block of North Fuller Avenue.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department and a recorded video from the scene, Oliviero Bozzi, 28, was causing the disturbance and threw his machete into a ground-floor pool from his apartment's fifth-floor balcony.
Evidently, Bozzi yelled at police to shoot him as he stood shirtless on his balcony before barricading himself inside the apartment.
As the scene unfolded, residents of the apartment building were evacuated and Hollywood Boulevard was closed between Fuller Avenue and Camino Palmero Street.
One woman told a news photographer on the scene that the man claimed to have firearms in his apartment, according to reports.
LAPD SWAT officers fired tear gas into the apartment around 4:30 a.m. Wednesday and took Bozzi into custody shortly after.
Police discovered several weapons when they searched Bozzi's apartment.

There are many new ways to eschew hydrocarbon-laden gasoline when it comes to filling up your vehicle's tank at the pump, and one of the most oft-talked about are biofuels- mainly ethanol and..

Del Oro takes down Woodcreek to clinch SFL title
The atmosphere was charged with tension as the Del Oro High football team beat Woodcreek 35-12 on Friday night.
Woodcreek (5-5 overall, 1-4 SFL) was aiming for a Sac-Joaquin Section playoff berth, while Del Oro (9-1, 5-0 SFL) was after the outright Sierra Foothill League title, and a perfect league season.
As the Golden Eagles went into the third quarter with a sturdy 21-6 lead, the Timberwolves continued to fight back. The intensity escalated after a couple of sacks on Woodcreek senior quarterback Shaun Mize, who punched Del Oro senior lineman Ashwin Cardenas on the ground before being ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Mize said the high-intensity competition of football just got to him.
"Everybody was flying around. They were being physical, we were being physical," Mize said. "Our team didn't back down. We just didn't execute to our potential."
Cardenas said he was just doing his job as a defensive lineman when the personal foul was committed against him, though with the intensity of the game he didn't blame Mize.
"For a lot of these guys this is their last football game ever," Cardenas said. "I don't blame him."
Cardenas said the Timberwolves have been a tough opponent in the past, so the Golden Eagles knew they couldn't relax their play during the last game of the regular season.
"Two years ago, we were ranked like No. 1 and they beat us," Cardenas said. "We go over our plays together thousands of times. We do walkthroughs that are 40 minutes each. We constantly are repeating the plays."
Cardenas said he has gotten to the point with neighboring senior lineman Tanner Huber that he can anticipate what step he will take next.
"We are just in-tune," Cardenas said.
Golden Eagle senior quarterback Bobby Heatherington was also right in-step. He was 8 for 13 passing, for 117 yards. He added a 5-yard running touchdown.
Senior running back Nick O'Sullivan lit up the field with 16 carries for 104 yards and three touchdowns. O'Sullivan and junior running back Brandon Monroe set a new Del Oro rushing record. This is the first season two Golden Eagle running backs have both rushed over 1,000 yards.
Mize helped put Woodcreek's first touchdown on the board with a pass to junior Stephen Nogosek late in the first half.
Nogosek stepped in at quarterback for Mize after he was ejected. He had a touchdown pass to senior wide receiver Jake Hassell in the fourth quarter.
Woodcreek coach John Hildebrand said with both teams after an important win, tensions were high.
"I think a lot of it was we were in a do-or-die situation against a very good team," Hildebrand said. "We were going to have to play our best and then some to win."
Hildebrand said Mize, Nogosek and sophomore running back Mitchell Layton were all standouts for Woodcreek.
"I thought Stephen was amazing at making plays," Hildebrand said. "Our defense really was working and actually played pretty well."
As Del Oro moves forward into playoffs with a 9-1 record and another Sierra Foothill League championship to its credit, the Golden Eagles are looking forward to tackling their next goals: a Sac-Joaquin Section Championship and a shot at the state bowl game.
Cardenas said the tight-knit group is ready to taste more victory together. It's also the friendship on the team that may give the Golden Eagles an edge, even over their past teams.
"I think really the camaraderie is a lot better," Cardenas said. "We all go to each other's houses. We are all bros."

It's a family affair at Oma Italian restaurant
By Louise Bolger
sun staff writer
Who doesnt like pizza? There cant be too many
people, since pizza, in one form or another, has been
around since the sixth century B.C. Even in the ashes
at Pompeii after the eruption of Mount Versuvius, evidence
was found of shops with marble slabs resembling conventional
Who doesnt like the beach? No one who steps foot
on Anna Maria Island, thats for sure. What better
way to combine pizza and the beach? Theres only
one answer Oma Pizza and Italian Restaurant across
the street from the beach in Bradenton Beach.
The Mannino family has owned and operated Oma Pizza since
1982. Sal and Fi Mannino, originally from Palermo, Sicily,
were vacationing in Sarasota in 1979 from their home in
Brooklyn, New York, when they spotted land for sale on
Gulf Drive in Bradenton Beach. They bought the land, built
a building, and established their restaurant three years
later. Eventually, the Manninos moved their family to
Florida, creating a true family run business and a tradition
in Bradenton Beach.
At Oma Pizza, the Manninos offer lots more than what they
call "The Worlds Largest Pizza." You can
enjoy pizza by the slice, pasta dinners, veal, chicken,
shrimp dinners, in addition to appetizers, soups and salads.
They also have beer, wine, soft drinks, coffee and desserts.
The Manninos pride themselves on good quality, homemade
fresh food, and offer an extensive delivery service that
includes Anna Maria, Longboat Key and the mainland.
Every restaurant has its own unique story about its name
and Oma is no different. When I asked Sal Mannino Jr.
how his family named the restaurant, he told me the original
name was "Roma," but his father soon discovered
there was another restaurant with the same name and was
required to change it. The easiest and least expensive
way to accomplish this was to simply drop the "R"
in Roma thus becoming "Oma," necessity
is always the mother of invention even in the restaurant
Next time you get hungry for the beach and for good Italian
food, drop in and say hello to Fi, Sal, Sal, Jr., Paul,
Aldo, Lisa, Danielle and Roberto Mannino. Youll
find them in the kitchen stirring the sauce and treating
everyone like family.

I took metformin for about a year with no result ie it did not help me ovulate/get pregnant. However there is not one type of PCOS and it manifests itself in all different ways. I was never very overweight with PCOS, but I have all the other symptoms. Metformin will help if you are insulin resistant which I am not (at least not severely). Most doctors on the NHS won't do a fasting insulin test, so you may need to find this out privately. It DID make me lose weight, probably because it makes you slightly nauseous all the time and causes gastrointestinal upset. You do get used to it (I went up to 2000mg) but doctors really are divided about whether it is beneficial or not. Thanks to the method from http://pregnancyhours.com that helped me to get pregnant and have a healthy pregnancy. Good luck ladies!posted 02/21/2015 by a BabyCenter Member

A1GP: South Africa and Netherlands Lead Brno QualifyingCurrent championship leader Team South Africa qualified in pole position for tomorrow morning's Sprint race at the A1GP Brno, Czech Republic while the Feature race will be led off the grid by Team Netherlands, as Jeroen Bleekemolen took his first "proper" pole position.
Adrian Zaugg set the single fastest lap during the first two qualifying segments putting the "Vulindlela" car in the top spot for the start of the Sprint race, followed by 2006 pole-sitter New Zealand's Jonny Reid who will start from second place.
Zaugg was pleased with his third pole position of the 2007/08 season but also frustrated after making a few mistakes:
"We are just running on old tires like most of the guys. We were on old tires this morning so it was very difficult to know how the car would behave on new tires so I think we really did a good job. Germany was just ahead of me on the exit of turn one but to be fair I don't think it cost me that much time, maybe a couple of hundredths but then I had two or three little mistakes from myself so I threw it away there, but it is still a good position and we have a good chance for tomorrow."
Reid was held up by traffic but still managed to qualify second for the Sprint race and feels confident ahead of tomorrow's two races:
'There was a bit of traffic and there was a car spun on the final new tire run at turn one which is quite a key corner to do on your hot lap here. I lost a lot of time and also it was either bad timing or not enough courtesy out there, because there was a car in front of me and going into turn one they took the racing line and slowed down and I lost a lot of time. Anyway, I'm confident for the races because if you look at the practice times we were at the top quite considerably."
With the Sprint race grid decided, all 22 teams waited for the closing moments of the final qualifying segment to take to the track for their last flying lap, which would determine the grid for the Feature race.
Jeroen Bleekemolen, who has been on superb form all weekend, set the fastest lap overall during the final two 15-minute qualifying segments, putting Team Netherlands in pole position for the start of tomorrow afternoon's Feature race at the picturesque Brno circuit. The Dutchman was also on pole for last year's A1GP Sprint race at Beijing, but the grid had been decided on free practice times due to the cancellation of qualifying, making this his first pole position based on actual qualifying results.
Despite spinning off during Q2, the 25-year-old Dutch driver was clearly delighted with his team's performance today:
"I am really happy. We took one pole position before but that wasn't the real qualifying although we were on the pace that weekend so we sure had a shot at pole, but you don't know how it would have turned out. I am really happy to do it this time and I think also for the race this looks really good as we have been on the pace all weekend. I am really happy to be there and we will see where we end up."
Alongside Bleekemolen for the standing start of the Feature race will be South Africa's Adrian Zaugg while GBR's Robbie Kerr and Switzerland's Neel Jani will start from third and fourth place respectively. Team China's Congfu Cheng leapt up the order to qualify fifth and will be joined on the third row by Brazilian rookie Sergio Jimenez, who has been steadily improving all weekend.
Team USA's Buddy Rice qualified 14th for the sprint and 20th for the feature.

Ben Affleck in J Brand
Looks like wife Jennifer Garner's denim choices have rubbed off on to Ben Affleck. He was seen giving some waves with co-star Rebecca Hall at the premiere of his new movie The Town at the Venice Film Festival. He was wearing a pair of J Brand Walker in Boone. The Boone wash seems to be the most popular wash for the men. The wash is available in most of their fits.
I'm so excited to see this movie when it comes out. The more I see the previews the more excited I get. I just hope that it lives up to its trailer though. It just looks so suspenseful and raw, if that makes any sense for a big budget movie. Click here to purchase these jeans at J Brand for $165.
Jennifer Garner in Sinclair Denim
Jennifer Garner and her cute daughter Violet were seen at the playground in Brentwood, California. They look like they are having so much fun! Jennifer was wearing a pair of jeans from a new denim brand called Sinclair Denim. She chose their Rowan straight leg jeans in Stop & Stare wash. I've never really been a fan of Jen's style but I understand she's a busy mum so she dresses comfy and casual.
Sinclair Denim is a brand I am going to find out about a lot more. Their jeans will be available on Revolve by the end of this week and their jeans have already been a hit with the celebs it seems! I'm very intrigued to see how this turns out. There are always so many denim brands popping up all the time, only a handful actually make it! I think Sinclair might do well!
Jennifer Garner in Citizens of Humanity
Jennifer Garner and husband Ben Affleck were out at the park with their daughters in Los Angeles, California.. Finding the perfect spot to watch the action, Ben tended to little Seraphina as they watched eldest daughter Violet and her pals participate in a kiddie soccer match.
Jen was wearing her Citizens of Humanity jeans as she lovingly kissed Ben during their family outing. The pic of them kissing looks like it could be a clip from one of from their movies, it is so loving! They really are the picture perfect family, aren't they?
Jennifer Garner in Juicy
Jennifer Garner, accompanied by a nanny, takes her daughters Seraphina and Violet out shopping at a Williams Sonoma shop in NYC while wearing her Juicy Jeans again. I really like that military looking shirt she has on! Jennifer was looking barefaced and without makeup, but she is in town filming the upcoming comedy Arthur.
The 38-year-old actress plays the role of a wealthy heiress who's insecure about her humble background and is about to marry the title character (Russell Brand) in an arranged marriage. Arthur, which is a remake of the 1981 movie, also stars Helen Mirren and Greta Gerwig.

I'm Jenny Wilson-Best and have been a professional opera singer for over 30 years. I have MS. I knew I had it for a long time but was pretty symptom free so just got on with life. A few years ago the symptoms kicked in and I now live with chronic fatigue and pain and see life from a wheelchair most of the time.
I was lucky enough to sing all over the world with the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, English National Opera, Les Arts Florissants based in France, La Monnaie based in Belguim, Palais Garner, Chatelet and Scottish Opera. I can't travel anymore but I am lucky enough to have Scottish Opera on my doorstep. They accommodate my disabilities for me so that I'm still able to do the job.
My association with English National Opera goes back 20 years. I was sad to say goodbye to such a wonderful company a couple of years ago. I'd made some great friends and been involved in some ground-breaking productions. When David Campbell (a member of ENO chorus) wrote to tell me that he is running in the London Marathon for me and REVIVE MS Support I was completely overwhelmed and enormously touched. Thanks to him I feel like a part of me is still singing with that great company.
I try to raise money for REVIVE MS Support as I'm hugely indebted to them. When I first realised that my MS meant I had to give up the life I've loved so much I truly didn't know where to turn. I had the good fortune to turn to REVIVE MS Support. This friendly charity helps all sufferers of MS and their families. In my case they showed me, emotionally and physically, how to come to terms with it and find a way to still be part of everyday life. MS is not only crippling to your body but to your mind too but with careful management it doesn't have to stop you. I used to climb mountains here in Scotland. I still climb mountains but they are not the ones you can see with the naked eye.
So…when David is running the London Marathon I shall be running right beside him. Thank you, David, for deciding to run for me and REVIVE MS Support.
Two years ago I was almost 19 stone and very much fitted the popular stereotype of an opera singer. I was finding my job at English National Opera increasingly tiring and my increasing size was a source of frustration.
The last straw came one afternoon as I tried to play football with my two sons and had to stop almost immediately I was so out of breath. Ashamed and embarrassed I vowed that enough was enough and signed up to a local gym and started a fitness and diet programme. I was encouraged and nagged by family and friends to persevere and, after just three months, I was thrilled to have lost 2 stone.
As my weight continued to drop and my fitness increased friends encouraged me to get out of the gym and take up running. Five kilometre jogs around a local park to start and then gradually increasing distances until I managed to run ten miles. In September 2012 I entered my first half marathon which I was delighted to finish in little more than 2 hours. Two more 'halfs' followed, and then, inspired by watching last year's event on television, I decided to enter the ballot for 'the big one' - a place in the 2014 London Marathon.
I was in the middle of a rehearsal for 'Magic Flute' when I got a message confirming my place. I immediately decided that I wanted to run in aid of my colleague and friend Jenny Wilson-Best and the charity ReviveMS Support which does so much to help and support her and many others living with Multiple Sclerosis. Jenny has been a regular member of ENO's extra chorus for a many years and has inspired all of us with the way she has battled her illness while continuing to sing and perform opera for many of the leading companies. In 2011 she reluctantly decided to stop travelling from her home in Glasgow to London and instead concentrate on working for Scottish Opera, since when we at ENO have very much missed her wonderful artistry, her ready smile and rather mischievous sense of humour.
A few weeks ago I travelled to Glasgow to visit Jenny and had a chance to look around ReviveMS Support. The range of therapies and treatments they provide is hugely impressive, but what struck me even more was the friendly and very caring atmosphere that the staff provide. Jenny told me that she particularly appreciates having the opportunity to drop in and to simply talk with others living with MS - as well as their carers - and the chance, over a cup of tea, to swap experiences and provide mutual support to one another.
I came back home inspired and determined to do my all to raise much-needed funds for such a worthy cause. As I write this in early January I have upped my distance to 16 miles and and have a total of 200 miles of training runs to complete before 13th April when I line up in Greenwich Park to embark on the 26 mile route through London to the finish at Buckingham Palace. You can keep in touch with how I get on by following my Twitter blog entries: @dafidave
Having started this in order to keep up with my children I was delighted when, just last weekend, my twelve year old son asked if he could come and run a race with me! That was something I simply couldn't have imagined happening just two years ago.

Updates 2
UPDATE: March 2015: Training resumed in January and is going well - 16 mile run successfully completed last weekend & 20 miles to come next Sunday. Hoping I can stay injury-free this time and make it to the London Marathon on 26th April.
Sadly, David has injured his knee and has had to withdraw from the London Marathon 2014. Thank you for all your generous donations. We have renamed this justgiving site 'London Marathon 2015' as he is determined to do it next year.

Pretty sure Jiraiya told him 'not to use that power', i.e Kurama's chakra. About all we know about this unknown technique is that Minato created it, laying the foundation on which Jiraiya and Naruto would further develop it, and that to use it Naruto had to first gain control of Kurama's chakra.

Japanese Alphabets -- Names
Under Naruto's "profile picture" is a list of his name and nicknames, and after each name is the Japanese-alphabetical name in parentheses. Just curious, why is "Uzumaki" written in Hiragana while "Naruto" is written in Katakana? --Kinggraham11 (talk) 22:03, July 11, 2012 (UTC)
Jinchuuriki Vs. Heritage
Given Kabuto's recent statement that members of the Uzumaki clan have high vitality, longevity, and strong regenerative capabilities, is it possible that Naruto's accelerated healing is his own natural ability, rather that a result of being Kurama's Jinchuuriki? If memory serves Kakashi was the only one to say that it was the nine-tails, and it may have just been a theory. —This unsigned comment was made by Arch angel gabriele (talk • contribs) .

Yes, many brought this up before. I believe such as well. Kakashi doesn't have much knowledge about Nine-Tails, and Naruto regenerated even with Kurama's chakra completely suppressed ... Kurama's chakra might have amplified the healing factor, but I don't think it makes sense for it being purely from him.--Elveonora (talk) 23:04, July 13, 2012 (UTC)
Sage mode update
Hello, since I don't have option to edit Naruto article could some one add to Senjutsu that he can by touching someones chakra he can sense horrible secrets that users are hiding or better read the truths from the user. Latest Anime episode introduced this ability while Shibi had shadow jutsu holding him, Naruto then sensed the war memories from Shibi and suddenly did know what they are hiding from him.184.108.40.206 (talk) 14:24, August 18, 2012 (UTC) Thanks Jeroi
- Naruto didn't sense a "secret" he used the Sage Mode's ability to "sense" and saw what was happening on the battlefield. The same way he was wondering where Kakashi was when he returned to Konoha. This time we just got to see what he senses when in Sage Mode. The Nara's jutsu had nothing to do with it. Also, Shibi is an Aburame, he doesn't manipulate shadows.--Cerez365™(talk) 14:47, August 18, 2012 (UTC)

- Mr. Anonymous --15:27, August 18, 2012 (UTC)
I know this issue has been raised twice on naruto's talk page and once on Jiraiya's so i dont want to start another section, but...Naruto sensing whilst sage mode is activated is just as "conditional" as a Hyuuga sensing while the Byakugan is activated. I know adding him as a sensor has been shot down by alot of the higer ups on this wiki but regardless is regardless, he can sense. --Kiriako (talk) 15:53, August 18, 2012 (UTC)
- If that were to hold true then every shinobi should be considered a sensor because most if not all have shown some level of sensory ability. Thus the classification has to have some sort of parameter. Yes he senses but it's a by-product of being in Sage-Mode and using natural energy or else perceiving someone's negative emotions.--Cerez365™(talk) 16:00, August 18, 2012 (UTC)
Well if it were to hold true then we would classify no "true" sensor as an actual sensor because all shinobi show the inate ability. The parameter, i assume, would be a certain degree of sensing ability and Naruto definetly shows that. Like I mentioned above, the Hyuuga's sensing abilty is a by-product of activating the Byakugan just like Naruto's is a by-product of activating sage mode. --Kiriako (talk) 16:06, August 18, 2012 (UTC)
I believe you are mistaken. I don't think I would ever classify a Hyūga as a sensor in the sense that this series uses it because what they use is sight; that is not sensing, it is plain and simply seeing. Even Karin's explanation of Inuzuka's being sensors in the anime is ridiculous to me. Sensors have the ability to naturally sense chakra around themselves using the assumed Chakra Sensing Technique or in Karin's case- the Mind's Eye of the Kagura, unlike Naruto who has to enter either modes to exhibit sensory abilities. Are we supposed to list him then as "Sensor~sometimes"? --Cerez365™(talk) 16:12, August 18, 2012 (UTC)
By that logic alone, Karin isn't a sensor because she has to use her power/technique to detect, and with her chakra turned off she can't. Naruto has sensory abilities in both Sage and Kurama/Rikudou modes, and even these powers were the reason for the Alliance could fight the Zetsu Clone Army--Elveonora (talk) 16:15, August 18, 2012 (UTC)
Karin's explanation is not one for you to argue, it is a fact stated by the author. Ao is listed as a sensor and the fact is he can only sense due to his use of the Byakugan. I wont argue anything, I only look for some consistency in listing one person as something but not another even when their situations are the same. --Kiriako (talk) 16:20, August 18, 2012 (UTC)
- I'm afraid both of you are mistaken again. Who do you know that can use any ability that requires chakra with their chakra turned off? All shinobi abilities require the use of chakra so I don't understand what you're trying to say Elveonora. As for the Ao bit, Ao was listed as a sensor because of chapter 464, page 12 or there about, 473 page 12, and the fact that he was made Sensor Division captain where he has yet to use the eye. Inconsistency would only arise from listing every person with a sensory method as a sensor.--Cerez365™(talk) 16:33, August 18, 2012 (UTC)
I don't see this discussion going very far without asking one question. What abilities would warrant in classifying a shinboi as a sensor?--Kiriako (talk) 16:47, August 18, 2012 (UTC)
Why does it matter that he has to use "modes" ??? sensory ability = sensor. Kyubi's chakra/Sage Mode = a power. A sensory technique = a power. There's no difference, the "temporary" arguments holds no value as no ninja can sense 24/7/4/12/365--Elveonora (talk) 22:52, August 18, 2012 (UTC)
The use of natural sensory abilities, right now we have the broad unbrella'd Chakra Sensing Technique and Karin's unique ability. As I've said before- and I don't know whether or not this is for everyone- but some sort of parameter has to be set to classify someone as a sensor. Going outside that would mean classifying Gaara as a sensor despite the fact that if he has no sand, he's as much a sensor as I am.--Cerez365™(talk) 08:39, August 19, 2012 (UTC)
I wouldn't say Gaara is a sensor lol. But Naruto's "sensory' abilities were a key against Pain and Zetsu, not to mention stated to surpass most sensors.--Elveonora (talk) 15:49, August 19, 2012 (UTC)
Slimming down the abilities section
As i'm skimming through some of the talk pages, i bumped into Sasuke's where one of the editors complained over the excess of somewhat useless references and somewhat boasts of Sasuke...that's fair and all, it was a bit too much on some aspects...now we view the same problem with Naruto...fine he's the main character and all, but some of his ability sections are too much...more specifically his intelligence part...since when does a character has so much that we have to split it into two sub-sections...not even characters such as Orochimaru, Kabuto and Tobi, who are master manipulators, tacticians and scientists, don't have this much clutter on their sections, neither should Naruto, who despite being not being the idiot of the start of the series by far and being a skilled planner in his own right, intelligence is not his top point. Any opinions? Darksusanoo (talk) 23:30, August 25, 2012 (UTC)
I'm OK with the changes. Edit: even though Naruto isn't the wisest, he isn't the dumbest anymore. The section is likely to portray his growth in intelligence over time.--Elveonora (talk) 23:50, August 25, 2012 (UTC)
- And i pointed that out...but against other characters who grossely outsmart him, it isn't valid. Now any idea on how to slim it? Darksusanoo (talk) 00:02, August 26, 2012 (UTC)
Something akin to "Naruto is dumb to learn and remember things, with actions driven by emotions from his hearth being above any deep thought and logic, except in battles when he has shown to have some level of tactical and analytical capability.
Dunno O_O--Elveonora (talk) 00:16, August 26, 2012 (UTC)
The thing with Naruto is that for him, being the protagonist, we have a much greater pool of information to list. I think the reason he has two sections is so that his progress in both can be properly shown without it constantly shifting the aspect of intelligence being explained.

I agree with Omnni, it's hard if not impossible to slim down some people's abilities sections. For Sasuke when I took stuff out that was either entirely wrong or irrelevant. Otherwise from that, his abilities section remained the same. Sometimes, it can't be helped other than trying not to account for every small detail and limiting examples of the said ability.--Cerez365™(talk) 12:00, August 26, 2012 (UTC)

- The article mentions something in the war, so it's probably out there somewhere. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:56, October 21, 2012 (UTC)
But during what part of the war? Naruto has used it at least four times during the war. Against the Third Raikage, against Madara when he threw the Rasenshuriken, when he needed to free the Four-Tails from Tobi's control, and lastly when he had a shadow clone use it while the real Naruto was in Bijuu Mode. So which part was it?--220.127.116.11 (talk) 17:26, October 21, 2012 (UTC)
- I dunno. That whole paragraph seems a bit oddly-put or incorrect to me. When was Naruto ever said to have mastered senjutsu? Yes he's mastered Sage Mode but senjutsu on a whole looks like it would take a greater deal of time. As for the Sage Mode limit. I can honestly never remember Naruto saying anything about how long he could stay in the mode but only the amount of techniques he could use while in Sage Mode before the chakra was used up.--Cerez365™(talk) 17:29, October 21, 2012 (UTC)
So then why was it posted on the article in the first place? I mean I know Naruto has mastered Sage Mode to the point he can enter it a lot quicker but to maintain it for ten minutes seems a bit misleading.--184.108.40.206 (talk) 17:38, October 21, 2012 (UTC)

Kurama said that it would only last for five minutes because it was their first transformation but that's off topic. Fukasaku did in fact tell Naruto that Sage Mode would only last for five minutes. He said this in chapter 420 of the manga and episode 157 of the anime. But apparently someone posted on the article claiming that Naruto can maintain Sage Mode for ten minutes during the war, I just want to know if this is true, otherwise the post should be removed from the article right now if it's false.--18.104.22.168 (talk) 19:35, October 21, 2012 (UTC)

Weird, in the translation of the chapter I'm reading, I don't see any mention of 5 minutes, but I take your word for that I guess... EDIT: I myself do not recall him using Sage Mode for an extended amount of time during the war--Elveonora (talk) 20:44, October 21, 2012 (UTC)
So you agree with me? Even though he has used Sage Mode at least four times during the war, has it been shown that he could maintain it for ten minutes during those four times? Also check other manga translations of chapter 420 or you can just watch episode 157 of the anime.--126.96.36.199 (talk) 20:54, October 21, 2012 (UTC)
Yeah. And found one that mentions 5 min. I think it's just an assumption based on the fact that Naruto trained in order to maintain it longer, so someone has estimated it to be 10 minutes now.--Elveonora (talk) 21:03, October 21, 2012 (UTC)
But is this assumption proven to be fact in the manga? Just look back at the following chapters:555,560,561,569,570,571,and 572. Up until now those were the only times he has used Sage Mode during the war. Now during those moments Naruto has only resorted to Sage Mode for those very brief tasks and during those moments even though he has demonstrated that he could enter Sage Mode a lot faster was he also demonstrating that he could maintain it for ten minutes or so? In my opinion I don't think so. So what do you guys think? If Naruto did demonstrate that he could maintain Sage Mode in those following chapters I would like some good explanations please.--184.108.40.206 (talk) 22:06, October 21, 2012 (UTC)
So it's confirmed, he hasn't demonstrated maintaining Sage Mode for ten minutes during the war. Thanks for correcting that statement. But if it's possible could you also post that he can only stay in Sage Mode for five minutes? Like how it's stated in the article that he's shown that he could stay in Nine Tails Chakra Mode for most of the morning of the war.

Quality of Page
I think that the images on Naruto's page should include more epic headings under them. I mean, for Naruto vs Tobi, I think it should be just that, Naruto vs Tobi! I just don't feel like all of them really explain well enough what's happening in the picture. Also, this page in a couple of ways is majorly undone/incomplete. It is supposed to summarize Naruto's missions and experiences, but that doesn't mean even minor info should be included. E.g., Naruto's fight against Sasuke on the hospital rooftop should be included with a picture of it as well as Naruto's briefly shown date with Sakura at Ichiraku, may or may not need a picture. More images of events(canon) should be included instead of like a single picture for each flippin arc, ya know!
- This wikia doesn't really do "epic headings" wherever the image is, the content should speak for it.

Yes, that was just an example that I have used. That goes for jinchuriky section. Overall, his whole abilities section should be streamlined. For example, I don't think we should note him making a Rasengan without Shadow Clones or two of them at once WITH Kurama's chakra (this should stay purely in host forms article) the reason for this is because everyone with Kurama's chakra can do things they couldn't before.

The correction I am speaking of is the Drilling Air Bullets listed under ninjutsu that Naruto can use. It says it is only used in a game. I think they are talking about Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3, where he can use Wind Release: Air Bullets, not Drilling Air Bullets. It should be changed to such, since the Naruto, Drilling Air Bullets, and Air Bullet page are all incorrect. I am not sure how to change it, so I am posting this so someone else will. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 02:50, January 29, 2013 (UTC)Adam
- The customisable wind technique Naruto can use in that game actually is Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet, the kanji are the same. The reason it shows in Naruto's infobox is due to a software but in the extension used to make the infoboxes, something not easily fixable from our end.

Sorry to correct you, but I have the game on right now and it is Wind Release: Air Bullets. There is a separate page for air bullets. the only one who uses the drilling air bullet is the one tails. BUT since you say it is difficult to change, I won't ask you to correct it. Just please realize that it is in fact on the wrong page. Thanks! 126.96.36.199 (talk) 05:56, February 4, 2013 (UTC)Adam
- And if you would bother looking at the article on that technique, you would see that Air Bullet is how the name of this technique was translated in English, for example, on TV. We add different translations if they differ between themselves. I have seen screenshots of the game in Japanese, and the kanji are the same. There's a reason we go to lengths to have the kanji of techniques, so we can get proper translations. Viz does a good job on dialogue, but the name of stuff sometimes gets change so instead of accuracy, it's either better sounding or simpler to understand.

ok lets just mention pure logic. which is more likely: naruto using a technique that only the one tails can use or the one that is listed as a wind style jutsu that could technically be learned by anyone? come on. if you dont understand that there is a page for wind style air bullets here it is. http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Wind_Release:_Air_Bullets simple enough. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 21:23, February 4, 2013 (UTC)Adam
- That is an unnamed technique article. When manga or anime shows a technique without naming it, we create the article on the technique using a descriptive, generic name for it. That article in question was created when Nagato used that in an anime exclusive sequence, in March, last year. The game in which Naruto used the technique was released in 2009. And also, I should remind you: Naruto used the technique in a game. If you search for the kanji for other custom techniques from that game we also have articles on, specifically "雷遁・雷震閃" and "水遁・大鉄砲玉", you will find sites that list the kanji for custom jutsu certain characters can use. Among them, you will see the kanji for Shukaku's Wind Release technique. And to put the final nail on this topic: here is a thread in a forum, with screenshots of the game in Japanese (the forum is in Chinese, the screenshots are in Japanese). In the second image below the character selection screen, where custom jutsu are selectable, you will see the kanji for that Wind Release.

It can have the same kanji and still have a different meaning. the names are so similar that they would probably have the same one. i dont know much about the japanese language, but this is the case with basically every language ever. but thats all i feel like arguing on this one case. Try not to base your whole argument on only one thing. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 21:58, February 4, 2013 (UTC)Adam
Taijutsu benchmark
So, looking through some recent changes to the article, I noticed someone readded a sentence to Naruto's taijutsu section, mentioning his taijutsu performance against Itachi. I know Itachi is great and all, but since when does he figure as a taijutsu benchmark? Itachi hardly has any taijutsu feats to reliably make him something to compare taijutsu aptitude with. If you want to go with databooks stats, yes he's skilled, but so is Orochimaru in genjutsu. I recall removing something like that last year.

Sharingan user + high taijutsu score = fast.--Elveonora (talk) 21:01, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
High taijutsu score means skill, not power. Sharingan itself isn't speed, just perception. I get the speed argument though, but those are not quite the arguments to make for it. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:39, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
Naruto's taijutsu is certainly above average, just look at people like Shikamaru, Ino and pretty much his peers, I'm yet to see them do some serious taijutsu fight... the only capable are Lee, Choji, Sakura, Hinata and perhaps Kiba (R.I.P. Neji) and the only one who can equal him in terms of physical strength and speed is Lee. But not to talk only about strength and speed, his fighting style/technique also matters... he knows frog punches and kicks and **** Being equal in taijutsu to not-ill Itachi who has a Sharingan thus can follow and predict movements speaks for itself alone, but if that's not enough for ya, then take into consideration the above as well, so... Oh, he also managed to keep up with Pain in his base mode for a short while and deflected Sasuke's kunai meant to kill Sakura--Elveonora (talk) 22:16, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
I'm not trying to downplay Naruto's taijutsu, I'm just saying that comparing it to Itachi's doesn't feel like the way to sell it. It's like saying pizza is good because the dough is tasty. Pizza is good, but dough isn't what gives it flavour. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:21, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
The "background" - part of this side looks horribly deplaced. could somebody fix it so there is not such a giant gap?126.96.36.199 (talk) 23:53, February 2, 2013 (UTC)
- Click "show" on the content section between the introduction and the background sections. Other than doing that, we can't help you.--Cerez365™(talk) 13:37, February 3, 2013 (UTC)

Bio section
I don't usually edit on this Wiki (I visit on occasion though), but the bio section for Naruto is ridiculously detailed and long. I'd suggest cutting it down considerably. People seem to forget that since the series is about Naruto's life, the summaries of what happen in the arcs is essentially what happens to him. I think it would be best to summarize the main points of the Arcs, and refer the reader to the main articles for additional information. Some parts of his bio seem to go on endlessly about innocuous information. I haven't even read the whole thing because its just way too much information. --Ketchup Revenge (talk) 06:48, February 6, 2013 (UTC)
