Roughly 90 out of 100 residents polled by The Japan Times in Tokyo, Osaka and Hiroshima this week said they recognize the Hinomaru flag as a national symbol, but almost 40 opposed "Kimigayo" as the national anthem.
The street interviews were done before the expected passage Monday of a bill to legally recognize the Hinomaru as Japan's national flag and "Kimigayo" as the anthem.
Respondents to the straw poll were divided in their support for the bill. Only 46 said they favored it.
The Liberal Democratic Party sponsored the bill, saying it hopes to put an end to a controversy over the symbols's use at high school graduation ceremonies.
It was proposed days after a high school principal in Hiroshima Prefecture committed suicide on Feb. 28. Teachers at his school were refusing to obey an education board order that the flag be raised and "Kimigayo" be sung at the school's graduation; the board was refusing to yield.
Though the flag and song are frequently used at national and international sporting events, they have never been legally sanctioned as national symbols.
The pollees' ambivalence contrasted sharply with the broad support the bill had among lawmakers when it cleared the Lower House by a vote of 403-86 last week.
In the commercial district near Tokyo's Otemachi Station, young and middle-aged businessmen found it difficult to totally support the bill or had no clear-cut opinions on the issue.
"Either way," "I don't mind it," were the responses from seven of the 10 questioned.
"Really, I only think about the Olympics when I see the flag," said Tetsuya Asuyama, 56, who works for a manufacturing firm. Noting he was too young to remember the war, he said, "I don't have the negative images."
"You just accept it," said a man in his 70s who declined to be named, describing how he used to raise the flag on holidays "out of habit."
"We stopped when we realized we were the only ones in the neighborhood doing it," he said. "It was too embarrassing."
In Tokyo's swank Aoyama district, Kyoko Daida, a 19-year-old college student, gave conditional support for the Hinomaru "only if schools teach the historical meaning behind the flag, that it was once used for the war."
She said Japan should write a new national anthem that is written for the people, not for the Emperor.
Lawmakers are in such a hurry to pass the bill that the Diet debate has not come close to reflecting the people's opinions, she said.
Tamie Seto, a 57-year-old housewife who is ready to accept the Hinomaru but calls the lyrics of "Kimigayo" inappropriate, suggests separating the debate over the flag and anthem.
"It's best to create a new song," she said. But she added "Sakura Sakura" (a traditional Japanese song) is far more acceptable than "Kimigayo," which refers to the emperor as the nation's leader.
Some people feel uncomfortable with the idea of being forced by law to respect either the flag or the song, regardless of their feelings for them.
A man in his 20s who said the Hinomaru makes him feel somewhat guilty noted that the national flag and anthem should not be subject to legislation.
Likewise, at Tokyo's Shinjuku Station, a woman in her 40s who declined to give her name opposes the legislation.
"The Hinomaru should stay because it can keep reminding us of Japan's aggression during the war and our responsibility for it," she said. "But we should abolish 'Kimigayo,' which was treated as a song to admire the Emperor as a living god during the war."
At Tokyo's Odaiba Marine Park, Haruo Kobayashi, a 46-year-old construction worker, said he welcomes the Hinomaru and "Kimigayo" during international sports events.
Nevertheless, he is against the legislation over them because he considers respecting them to be a matter of personal choice.
A 27-year-old man meanwhile said he welcomes the move to legally recognize the Hinomaru but is opposed to making any song, including "Kimigayo," into the anthem.
"A symbol like the Hinomaru will stay forever, but any song will soon be obsolete," he said. "I'm totally against the legal recognition of 'Kimigayo,' which already sounds outdated."
A woman in her 30s said she loves the melody of "Kimigayo" but finds its lyrics problematic. "The lyrics should be replaced with new ones to reflect the current social system," she said.
In Tokyo's Jiyugaoka, a tanned teenage girl with dyed hair voiced a similar opinion.
"It's OK to sing ('Kimigayo') as part of ceremonies, but the lyrics contradict the current system of the nation," she said.
A woman in her 70s expressed a strong resistance toward both the Hinomaru and "Kimigayo."
As an elementary school student in prewar Japan, she said, she began to feel something was wrong with this country after she was beaten by a teacher for not lowering her head while the flag was being raised.
"It is not good that all people sing a song just for one person," she said.
Akiko Katsumata, 65, who was visiting Tokyo's Ueno Zoo with her nephews and nieces, said the Hinomaru makes a great national flag because of its easy-to-remember simple design.
"Of course, I am against war," she said. "As part of Japanese history, it is important to remember, and the flag and the song will serve that purpose."
Near Koganji Temple, better known as Togenuki Jizo, in Tokyo's Sugamo, a district popular with the elderly, a man in his 50s voiced all-out support for the symbols.
"Young people get moved and shed tears when they see the Hinomaru and hear 'Kimigayo' at events like the Olympics, right?" he asked. "Tell me why they don't want to accept them (as symbols)."
In Osaka, Yasukichi Murai, who served during the war, said the Hinomaru is nothing but the national flag. "If you go abroad, you will understand that the Hinomaru is our national flag."
Mitsuo Nishida, 79, who spent some years in the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, said, "The Hinomaru has been the national flag since the Meiji Era. If not for the Hinomaru, there would be no national flag."
Nishida, however, said he was against the legislation because "it is unnecessary."

1. Re: PL/SQL output to .CSV fileNicloeiW Feb 1, 2008 8:09 AM (in response to 592938)you can use utl_file
2. Re: PL/SQL output to .CSV file592938 Feb 1, 2008 8:41 AM (in response to 592938)Hi,
Thanks for the quick response, but I am a little confused as to the use of this tool, and the documentation is not very reader-friendly.
The example I have is:
create or replace procedure utl_file_test_write
path in varchar2,
filename in varchar2,
firstline in varchar2,
secondline in varchar2)
output_file utl_file.file_type;
output_file := utl_file.fopen (path,filename, 'W');
utl_file.put_line (output_file, firstline);
utl_file.put_line (output_file, secondline);
Lets say my table is called TableA and I wish to output Field1 and Field2 into a file called TableA.csv, and a path called C:\UCMI...where would I declare this information on the above example.
Apologies but I have never used this tool.
3. Re: PL/SQL output to .CSV filepl/sql novice Feb 1, 2008 9:15 AM (in response to 592938)The way I know is to use a cursor for loop, and inside this for loop, generate your csv output line by line, manually inserting a ', ' in between the fields, then use utl_file.put_line to write the result to a text file. If I remember correctly, you'll need to open the file in append mode so subsequent writes in the for loop won't overwrite previous results (otherwise you'll only get one line).
The method is very similar to C programming or even unix system programming, when you obtain a file handle, generate your output and write to the file handle, and finally close it.
Steve F. has talked about how inefficient cursor for loop can be, but this is something simple I can learn in the beginning. The experts in this forum can point to a better, more efficient method for sure.
4. Re: PL/SQL output to .CSV file450441 Feb 1, 2008 9:32 AM (in response to pl/sql novice)
The way I know is to use a cursor for loop, andThat's pretty much it, yeah.
inside this for loop, generate your csv output line
by line, manually inserting a ', ' in between the
fields, then use utl_file.put_line to write the
result to a text file.
If I remember correctly,Only if you were opening and closing the file inside the loop, which would be a bit of a silly thing to do.
you'll need to open the file in append mode so
subsequent writes in the for loop won't overwrite
previous results (otherwise you'll only get one
As for the rest of it, the approved way of declaring the directory for output is to use
CREATE DIRECTORY WIBBLE as 'C:\wibble';
GRANT READ, WRITE on WIBBLE to myuser;
then in code
fhandle := utl_file.fopen('WIBBLE','output.csv','w');
That c:\ worries me though - your output will be created on the database server not the client.
5. Re: PL/SQL output to .CSV file592938 Feb 1, 2008 11:01 AM (in response to 592938)FAO: PL/SQL Novice
Do you have an example of your LOOP coding as I believe I am close but not close enough. I have added an extract from my program below but not sure how correct it is:
output_file := utl_file.fopen (path,filename, 'W');
FOR r1 IN c_output LOOP
6. Re: PL/SQL output to .CSV filepl/sql novice Feb 1, 2008 11:30 AM (in response to 592938)You can find many useful links in asktom.oracle.com.
Tom has written a lot of useful code in his website including CSV export.
Another useful resource is PL/SQL Programming (4th edition) by Steve F.
I actually base my design on his examples.
Happy digging!

Turkey Tetrazzini
From EatingWell: The EatingWell Healthy in a Hurry Cookbook (2006)
For our healthy take on turkey Tetrazzini, we use low-fat milk and skip the five tablespoons of butter that's often in the sherry-Parmesan sauce. As a result, we slash calories and fat in half, and reduce saturated fat by a whopping 80 percent. Even better, we transformed the dish into a fuss-free sauté that's quick enough to prepare even after a busy day.

Vilcabamba: Now is the Time to Buy in Ecuador's Sacred Valley
It's been called the Sacred Valley, the Valley of Longevity, and the Valley of Eternal Youth. Tucked into the heart of Ecuador's southern Andes, the little town of Vilcabamba has earned those monikers, and it's easy to see why. Steep rounded mountains rise from all directions, giving the town a feel of seclusion and protection. The rich black soil turns out hundreds of varieties of edible plants. And warm weather year-round makes the place a permanent paradise. In fact, when the Ecuadorian tourism bureau decided to market the country as "The Land of Eternal Spring," I'm convinced it had Vilcabamba in mind. With temperature highs averaging between 74 F and 79 F and lows never dropping below the mid-50s F, it's tough for me to imagine a more ideal climate.
Long Life and Low Costs in Vilcabamba, Ecuador
In Vilcabamba, Ecuador, you feel like you could live forever. It's no wonder that this boasts of being the "Valley of Longevity," where long, healthy lives are common and many of the locals claim to be centenarians—living well into their 100s. Perhaps it's the climate. Just shy of the equator in southern Ecuador and at an elevation of 5,000 feet, temperatures in Vilcabamba average between 65 F and 81 F.
How Much to Live in Vilcabamba, Ecuador?
Vilcabamba, Ecuador is a place that's pristine and natural. It just makes you want to slow down and enjoy life as long as you can. Some scientists believe the clean, mineral-rich water that flows from mountain streams and springs is akin to the fountain of youth.
The Good Life in Vilcabamba, Ecuador
He had a huge panoramic photo of his home—although you really couldn't see the house for all the brilliantly colored bougainvillea tumbling over the walls and the fruit trees in the yard. Mango, lemon, lime, orange, raspberry, passion fruit, banana, and much more we weren't familiar with…even coffee.
Why I Moved to Vilcabamba, Ecuador
"You're out of your mind!" This was one of the milder things people said when I announced that after 30 years of living in the paradise of Maui, Hawaii, I was moving to South America. And at 80 years of age. Alone. Without speaking a word of Spanish.

Review: The Nonsensical 'Java Heat' Makes Waste of Mickey Rourke

One of my favorite experiences at Comic-Con this year was interviewing Tarsem.

David Varod is the CEO of a Bulgaria based film studio called Nu Boyana.

Food Blog Confession & Wheatless in Seattle"/>
Sweet Potato Rosemary bread & Green Tea bread with Cranberries, from Wheatless in Seattle
At the corner of Greenwood Ave N. and 100th, there stands a Mecca for the food-allergy afflicted. Snuggled up against a residential neighborhood it used to be a member of, the converted little red bakery bears the name "Wheatless in Seattle" on a sign outside. People from all different districts and walks of life, having only the post-script [food]-free in common, travel here to visit this rarity: a local, completely dedicated, gluten-free bakery, where owner Kaili McIntyre and her team turn out decadent treats like lemon-lavendar-blueberry muffins and double chocolate cupcakes that even "normal" people enjoy.
Sweet Potato Rosemary bread & Green Tea bread with Cranberries, from Wheatless in Seattle
Somewhere over the course of the last decade, food allergies have gone from being something weird and abnormal to being downright trendy. This is great news for people who have food allergies, because it makes shopping so much easier. It's also kind of annoying news for people who have food allergies, because things like gluten-free "diets" are now all the rage, and people who don't even actually need them are dabbling in them, under an illusion that the word "diet" means "health food" or "weight loss."
Don't get me wrong; I am absolutely certain that we here in the U.S. eat too much gluten. When a society starts dusting its french fries with flour before deep frying them (because there wasn't enough starch already, I suppose), the love affair has certainly gone too far. And it's probably time to work on some solid relationship boundaries. But there is a big difference between "taking a break" from gluten, and undergoing a necessary (permanent) lifestyle change for the sake of survival.
As for myself? Almost four years ago, one blustery day in January, my life-long chronic tiredness suddenly escalated to the point of fear-inducing exhaustion. The progression began out of nowhere with the words "I feel funny," and culminated two weeks later in the realization that I couldn't walk all the way across the living-room without sitting down, and had actually started forgetting to breathe. The beauty of it all was that there was absolutely nothing wrong with me. It wasn't until some doctor thought to check for food allergies that I started to recover from that nothing.
I've been gluten-free ever since. And, for somebody who hangs around with the Voracious crowd, I also have a ludicrously long list of other foods I cannot eat. People like, say, Julien Perry seem blessed with the ability to eat anything under the sun, no consequences. People like me are known for phrases such as, "... well, can I just get a side of cucumbers?"
While I don't have any severe allergies, and can deal with minor cross-contamination unfazed, the past four years have still required me to learn how to order "creatively" at restaurants, how to identify when a server is at the limit of their patience, and how to choose establishments that look inclined to be allergy-friendly (or at least allergy-accepting). It's been a process of learning to spot "likely" brands in grocery stores, and how to skim ingredients to identify probable enemies. Of learning to hold my ground when the cook at a pub decides to assert that Panko won't hurt me. Of relearning how to cook, and finally becoming sympathetic toward people who can't figure out how to make a decent batch of chocolate chip cookies. And above all else: it's been a slow journey toward developing a sense of humor for the whole situation.
Not everyone is as welcoming and supportive as Kaili and friends at Wheatless in Seattle. But even in the four years that I've been eating cautiously, things have drastically changed for the better. No longer do all gf-tortilla options have the texture of cardboard, and significantly fewer restaurants offer gluten-free menus like the gem in the photo at left. Things are looking up! And we formerly exiled high-maintenance eaters are finally edging our way successfully back into the social world... including all its restaurant-, bar-, and cafe-going.
So here is a column in keeping with the times: a blog to share tips, tricks, and anecdotes about navigating the Seattle food scene when you're Allergic to Food.

Opening View: DJIA Futures Plunge 100 Points; IBM, Texas Instruments Disappoint
Watch out below! Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) are trading more than 100 points below fair value heading into the open this morning, pointing toward a negative start to the day. While Wall Street cheered early earnings reports on Monday, last night's disappointing results from technology bellwethers IBM Corp. and Texas Instruments Inc. have swept away any lingering bullish investor sentiment. The S&P 500 Index (SPX) is also poised for an opening drop, with futures on the broad-market index off 12.5 points versus fair value. For those of you looking for a backstop, the DJIA could find immediate support near 10,000, with firmer support near 9,800 on a deepening pullback. As for the SPX, technical analysts will be harping on the 1,065 level today, as it is home to the index's "flash crash" lows, while support for a steeper decline could manifest near 1,045, which is home to the SPX's May and June lows. Finally, the CBOE Market Volatility Index (VIX) has trended lower during the past couple of weeks. Given today's prospects for a sharp sell-off, look for the VIX to pop back above the 30 level, and potentially hold there through Friday.
In earnings news, Harley-Davidson Inc. ( HOG ) reported this morning that its second-quarter net income rose to $71.16 million, or 59 cents per share, as revenue remained flat at $1.14 billion. Wall Street was expecting 42 cents per share on revenue of $1.12 billion. Looking ahead, Harley-Davidson said it expects to ship 201,000 to 212,000 motorcycles to dealers and distributors worldwide in 2010, down 5% to 10% from 2009.
After the close last night, Texas Instruments Inc. ( TXN ) reported a second-quarter profit of $769 million, or 62 cents per share, with revenue rising to $3.5 billion. Analysts had expected earnings of 62 cents per share, on revenue of $3.52 billion.
Finally, IBM Corp. ( IBM ) said its second-quarter net income rose to $3.4 billion, or $2.61 per share. Revenue for the quarter rose 2% to $23.7 billion. The company said foreign currency exchange rates reduced its revenue by roughly $500 million in the quarter. Analysts had expected IBM to post second-quarter earnings of $2.58 per share, and $24.17 billion in revenue.
Earnings Preview
On the earnings front, Biogen Idec Inc. ( BIIB ), Goldman Sachs Group Inc. ( GS ), Johnson & Johnson ( JNJ ), PepsiCo Inc. ( PEP ), Boston Scientific Corp. ( BSX ), Juniper Networks Inc. ( JNPR ), Seagate Technology ( STX ), VMware Inc. ( VMW ), and Yahoo! Inc. ( YHOO ) are scheduled to release their quarterly earnings reports today. Keep your browser at SchaeffersResearch.com for more news as it breaks.
Economic Calendar
June's building permits and housing starts will hit the Street today, while the market will be graced with the weekly report on U.S. petroleum supplies tomorrow. Weekly initial jobless claims will be joined by June's existing home sales and June's leading economic indicators on Thursday. Friday ends the week as it began, with no reports slated for release.
Market Statistics
Equity option activity on the Chicago Board Options Exchange ( CBOE ) saw 1,377,514 call contracts traded on Monday, compared to 722,787 put contracts. The resultant single-session put/call ratio arrived at 0.52, while the 21-day moving average slipped to 0.64.

Overseas Trading
Overseas trading is in poor shape this morning, as only three of the 10 foreign indexes that we track are in positive territory. The cumulative average return on the collective stands at a loss of 0.23%. In Asia, most stock indexes climbed, finding support from firmer Chinese shares as investors looked past disappointing earnings by tech bellwethers IBM and Texas Instruments. European shares fell, with banks lower after Hungary sold less of its debt than expected. Overseas market information comes to you courtesy of Schaeffer's Daily Bulletin .
Currencies and Commodities
Uncertainty regarding a wave of key earnings reports has sent some investors retreating to the safe haven of the U.S. dollar this morning. At last check, the U.S. Dollar Index was up 0.32% at 84.78. Commodities, meanwhile, are taking the predicable path lower in response to the rising dollar. For instance, gold futures are down $4.00 at $1,177.90 in London, while crude oil has slipped 12 cents to trade at $76.78 per barrel in electronic trading.

So if you open the collectibles tab from the pause menu and after that press A and then hover over a district then you will get that there are sonar pings which permits you to get that where are the collectibles. I am sure that there are many of the users who are already aware of this thing but then also I am posting it to make the other people aware of this thing. Other than this, if you are having any other tip or anything that you would like to share with us then please post that over here. I am sure that this is going to be very useful for the people who have just started playing this game. Good luck and keep playing.

I just purchased my 1st batch of GMD prefolds and am looking to start prepping them. My husband and I use home made laundry detergent on our clothes and since this will be our first, I wanted to make sure the ingredients that is in the detergent is okay for cloth diapers/prefolds.
Our detergent consists of equal parts soap (bar of ivory, non-scented), borax and washing soda. Are all these ingredients cloth friendly safe or is there something that I need to change up?
Thanks for any advice

Bagaza sells various products from a stall at her home, on a busy avenue. She began her business with funds received from her husband.
She has requested a loan from the field partner, Hekima, in order to improve her business. She will buy twenty litres of oil, one sack of wheat flour, matches, one box of soaps, a sack of sugar, sweets, biscuits and iodized salt.
In the future, Bagaza would like to buy a plot of land and build a house. She would also like to feed and educate her children.
Bagaza thanks Hekima for supporting women entrepreneurs who are excluded from the traditional banking system.
In the photo, one of the clients is holding her child.
Additional Information
Important InformationHEKIMA is a microfinance institution headquartered in Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), with branch offices in Goma and Bukavu. HEKIMA aims to contribute to the transformation of the economic, social, and spiritual lives of the economically active poor of the DRC. To this end, HEKIMA provides its clients with solidarity group loans to support income-generating activities.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

It's funny how things come together. I didn't plan this shot at all. I was just messing around in front of the camera this morning. After I had figured out the colours I wanted in Lightroom, the "book cover" idea just fell into place. I am really quite pleased with how this turned out.

I absolutely LOVE this. It really outshines your other pieces in the composition of colors, words and just the pose of the dalmatian creature. To me it seems more about the person inside the costume and not the dog character itself. I would love to see more like this!
GRRRRR Love this
Grrr, I saw the thumb on the first page, but DA doesn't want to play along and let me view the deviation. ARGH! *flails around*

The sonogram tech had mentioned that one of my babies has some extra fluid in her sac but didnt seem concerned about it really. Seen my Dr. after sonogram and she never said 2 words about it. Well, I go to meet the neonatal Dr. yesterday for my baby A and go over my files and it says my baby B has polyhydramnios. I just am stumped as to why my Dr. brushed it off without any concern or even telling me it could be a problem. I am loosing faith in these Drs that are soposed to be the best of the best here in Florida. Does anybody else have this extra fluid. I am just nervous now that I have to worry about both my babies not just the one with gastroschisis.

Baby b has extra fuid and he just seems to be taking full advantage of the roon. Docs here don't seem to even care about it.
Posted 10/25/2012
I had a little extra fluid with Baby A at my 30 week appt. The u/s tech just mentioned it since they were measuring it to keep an eye on it in case it increased. The perinatologist said the same thing - basically if it stays pretty level it's no big deal but if it increases a lot over the weeks, they get concerned.
Try not to worry!
Posted 10/25/2012
Baby B has had extra fluid for months now. My doctor and the ultrasound nurses all seem fine with it. They said as long as the babies keep growing at the same rate it is fine. They also it can be hard to tell depending on the position of your babies. Baby A is breech on my left and baby B is transverse across the top of my stomach.

I think gastroschisis and polyhydramnios are link together, maybe this site can help you... www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/P...

Is the data side of the disc clean?
Are there any marks that are not actually on the Disc Surface showing on the Data Side of the Disc?
Is this a Manufactured or Recorded Disc?
Is this Disc a M$ Branded Install Disc or a System Makers Recovery Disc?
However generally speaking Windows Installer Hanging up being unable to locate Files is a sign of Timing Issues with RAM which only affects the Install Procedure not the actual running of the system once you get Windows Installed.
Have you tried coping the Install Disc to a USB Thumb Drive and installing it that way?

Charles Dunleavy
Thank you. Good morning and welcome to Ocean Power Technologies audio webcast for the first quarter ended July 31, 2009. Today we issued our first quarter earnings press release and we will be filing our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our public filings can be viewed on the SEC website at www.sec.gov, or you may go to our website, www.oceanpowertechnologies.com. I'll be joined on today's webcast by Mark Draper, our Chief Executive Officer. Please advance to the next slide, number two.
During the course of this conference call, management may make projections or other forward-looking statements regarding future events or financial performance of the company, within the meaning of the Safe Harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
As indicated in the slide, these forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions made by management, regarding future circumstances over which the company may have little or no control and involve risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. We refer you to the company's Form 10-Q and other recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a description of these and other risk factors.
I'll now turn the call over to Mark Draper, our Chief Executive Officer.
Mark Draper
Moving to slide three; thank you Chuck and thanks to everyone who has joined us for today's webcast. OPT started fiscal 2010 with strong operational and financial performance, achieving several successes this quarter. Firstly we achieved a gross profit of $0.3 million, compared to a gross loss for the same period last year and our contract order backlog remains strong at $6.4 million, up 70% compared with the prior year's comparable quarter. Chuck will go through the financials in more detail shortly.
I'd like to take a few minutes to update you on the operational progress made during the quarter. A key milestone was the signing of the commitment agreement for the Wave Hub project in Cornwall, U.K., while also making significant progress of the manufacturing of our next generation PowerBuoy, the 150 kilowatt rated PB 150. We also advanced the construction of our Underwater Substation Pod, which is an important part of the complete solution we are developing for the delivery of full operational waveforms to our customers.
Finally, we strengthened our management team with the appointment of a new Chief Executive of our wholly-owned subsidiary, OPT Limited, based in Warwick, England. OPT also received industry recognition when our Executive Chairman and Founder, Dr. George Taylor was awarded the 2009 Renewable Energy Navigator Award by the foundation for Ocean Renewables. I would now like to discuss further some of these successes.
Turning to slide four; as OPT steps up its commercial activity, it is vital to continually improve our technical capability through the hiring of qualified personnel in the manufacturing, development and engineering functions. As of July 31, 2009, OPT has 59 employees, an increase of 12 employees over the same date last year.
As announced previously, we also strengthened our European leadership team with the appointment of Angus Norman as Chief Executive of Ocean Power Technologies Limited. Angus joined us from EDF Energy, where he held the position of Managing Director of Sustainable Solutions and brings more than a decade of leadership experience in the energy and renewable energy generation sector.
At EDF Energy, one of the UK's largest energy companies providing power to a quarter of the population, Mr. Norman led the development of a new Sustainable Energy Services business, and had responsibility for its combined heat & power plants and business development team.
Prior to this, he was Managing Director of Generation at EDF Energy, with operational responsibility for its gas and coal powered generation with a 5000 megawatt capacity, as well as the renewable wind power assets. Mr. Norman was also responsible for EDF Energy's initial investment in 2002 into Marine Current Turbines, a [Cornwall] energy company and was a board director there until 2005.
The strength of OPT's personnel, as well as the company's contribution to the wave power industry was recognized by the Foundation for Ocean Renewables, in awarding Dr. George W. Taylor the 2009 Renewable Energy Navigator Award. This prestigious award was presented to Dr. Taylor at the Second Annual Global Marine Renewable Energy Conference held at the Carnegie Institute for Science in Washington DC. The honor was given in recognition of Dr. Taylor's service in promoting responsible commercialization of marine renewable energy.
Dr. Taylor is recognized as one of the world's pioneers and leaders in the development and establishment of wave energy technology for his work over the past 25 years. He co-founded Ocean Power Technologies Inc., and under his leadership OPT has become one of the world's major wave power companies. Our technology is supported by a strong patent portfolio. At the end of the period OPT owned a total of 40 issued US patents, with 16 US patent applications pending.

A North Carolina man who bagged a deer and a bobcat in Kentucky without obtaining the proper permits has found himself banned from hunting anywhere in the world for two years.
RALEIGH, N.C. — A North Carolina man who bagged a deer and a bobcat in Kentucky without obtaining the proper permits has found himself banned from hunting anywhere in the world for two years.
Rodney Poteat was sentenced in federal court in Kentucky last week after pleading guilty to charges of killing the animals and transporting them to his Salisbury, N.C., home, without reporting the kills or a permit required of nonresidents.
The plea deal cost him $5,350 and two years' probation, during which "the defendant shall be prohibited from hunting or accompanying anyone hunting anywhere in the world," reads the judge's order, first reported by The Salisbury Post.
It's unclear what led authorities to Poteat. Messages left for him and his Kentucky lawyer were not immediately returned.

Hunting bans for those who break wildlife laws are not uncommon — some violators have been banned for life. But those punishments typically happen at the state level and generally carry over into other states only as long as they're among the 33 that belong to the Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact, according to Jeremy Rine, associate director of state services for the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance.
"Essentially," he said, "if you get in trouble in one state, you suffer the consequences in any of the other states that participate in the compact."
Charles Feldmann, a partner at the Colorado law firm Feldmann Nagel & Associates who specializes in wildlife law, said Poteat's punishment is a sign of increasingly severe penalties for people convicted of wildlife-law violations.
"This area of prosecution, in my opinion, is getting far more aggressive, and so we're starting to see more outrageous sentences like that," Feldmann said.
In April, U.S. Magistrate Judge E. Robert Goebel — who handed down Poteat's sentence — barred two men convicted of illegally baiting mourning doves from hunting migratory birds anywhere around the world for two years.
"The vast majority of my clients come to me thinking they just entered a plea in court to a misdemeanor, and they don't have any idea that not only do they now have a criminal history, but they also might lose their ability to hunt altogether," Feldmann said.

text: I don't even know for sure what it's called. On my Trek 7200 I've noticed that the freewheel clicking sound (the one you hear when coasting or turning the pedals backwards) is non-existent. I don't know if it disappeared or if it wasn't even there in the first place (though I am pretty sure it was), but it isn't there now. The wheel feels fine, the gears shift perfectly. Is this something to worry about?

Should I link to the full jQuery UI -or- provide a slimmed-down customized copy?
There is a very significant size difference between the full jQuery-UI from a CDN like Google vs. providing a customized minimal version. Additionally, one can combine jQuery, jQuery UI, plug-ins, and local code into one single minified JavaScript download.
On the other hand, the chances of a user having a customized copy cached are nil unless they've visited the site previously.
Are there any jQuery CDN "penetration" stats or studies that lend insight into which might be better?

How do I choose a good hat?Since you will probably spend a lot of time wearing you hat, a good fit is a top priority. The baseball cap style is the most common. Fit is usually referred to as structured or unstructured. A structured cap has a taller crown (front panel), resulting in a deeper fit. Unstructured caps have a lower crown and thus a shallower fit. Some caps fall in between. Also, some caps have a flat bill and some are curved. Make your choice according to the amount over coverage you like and, of course, what looks good! A final option is the bucket hat (somettimes called a "Gilligan hat") that offers more sun protection thanks to the 360° visor. The floppy casual look is also popular.What about cap sizes? And how do they hold up?Almost all Under Armour caps come in sizes, giving the whole cap a smooth profile without a distracting adjustment strap in the back. Choose your size by measuring your head circumference at the forehead, then select your size based on the guidelines for your hat. Most caps have some stretch to assuer a comfortable fit. The synthetic materials in most caps give you fit that holds up over time, wicks sweat away, and are easy to wash.What about headbands?Job one for a headband is to stay in place while it keeps your hair under control and sweat out of your eyes. If you're a headband fan, you'll love the giant Under Armour selection! Choose from narrow or wide in a multitude of colors and designs. Some have reflective trim for added visibility when it's dark out. Most have a silicone backing that eliminates slipping and helps divert persiration away from your eyes. One size fits all.

NATO says 5 American service members killed in Afghanistan
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Five American service members were killed in an attack in southern Afghanistan, the international coalition said on Tuesday.
A statement from the international alliance said all five soldiers died on Monday but did not give any further details. Coalition policy is for home countries to identify their military dead.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack. The insurgents have intensified attacks on Afghan and foreign forces ahead of the country's presidential election runoff on Saturday. Officials are concerned there could be more violence around the balloting, though the first round in April passed relatively peacefully.
A Taliban spokesman, Qari Yousef Ahmadi, said a battle took place on Monday night between foreign troops and Taliban fighters in Arghandab district in southern Zabul province. Ahmadi claimed a "huge number" of NATO soldiers were killed or wounded in the fighting but the Taliban often exaggerate their claims.
The Afghan police chief in southern Zabul province said there was a joint operation by Afghan and NATO troops in the province earlier Monday. After that operation was over, the troops came under an attack by the Taliban in Arghandab district and called in air support, said Gen. Ghulam Sakhi Rooghlawanay.
Along with the five NATO troops, an Afghan soldier also died in the fighting, said Rooghlawanay.
Separately, a NATO statement said a service member had died on Monday as a result of a non-battle injury in eastern Afghanistan.
The deaths bring to 36 the number of NATO soldiers killed so far this year in Afghanistan, with eight service members killed in June.
Casualties have been falling in the U.S.-led military coalition as its forces pull back to allow the Afghan army and police to fight the Taliban insurgency. All combat troops are scheduled to be withdrawn from the country by the end of this year.

Book Notes
76,000 copies, 20,000 of which were returned by the subscribers. Turner
remembers his chagrin when the Literary Guild sold these returned
copies through the Southwestern Cigar Stores for 95 cents.
In spite of all the failure to provide a substantial publication his-
tory of Dobie's books, both scholars and collectors will be grateful to
Miss McVicker. The listing of Dobie's newspaper articles is particu-
larly useful. Harry Ransom's prefatory essay provides a discerning
introduction to Dobie's work.
Strictly speaking the Spruill Cook bibliography might more appro-
priately be called a checklist. It is in no sense a descriptive bibliogra-
phy and offers little help to the collector or scholar who wishes to
distinguish variant printings or issues of the books he lists. In addition
to the standard sections on books, periodicals, etc., Cook includes a
separate listing of Texas Folklore Society publications and a "selective
group" of writings about J. Frank Dobie, both useful.
An interesting feature of Cook's bibliography is the extensive body
of quotations from Dobie's remarks about his own books. These notes
are a valuable source of information, and Mrs. Dobie's foreword is
enough to make the book indispensable for all Dobie collectors. Un-
fortunately, the typography is a matter for regret and the frontispiece
Both bibliographies are illustrated with facsimile reproductions of
the title pages of several of Dobie's books.

Book Notes
Llanos Mestenas: Mustang Plains. By Agnes G. Grimm. Waco (Texian
Press), 1968. Pp. xii+ 189. Illustrations, maps, bibliography, index.
The author sweeps across more than four hundred years with chrono-
logical fragments about the area. During this period there is an amazing
stream of races of people with different creeds, purposes, and contributions
who live briefly or for their full time in this fascinating region. The author
suggests that the book was written "to preserve panoramic fragments of the
rich cosmopolitan heritage of this truly American region which is between,
and includes the valleys of the Rio Grande and the Nueces rivers." Few
of those who came were criminals or crooks, but generally were strong men
"with bark on," and often each was a proud, courageous, resourceful indi-
vidual. This was a man's land.

Affordable Italian food can come from a truck or a pop-up, and>"/>
Hungry for more Top 10 Lists? Check out our 'Best Of' Mobile App
Affordable Italian food can come from a truck or a pop-up, and both entities are represented here. But, traditionally, cheap Italian means darkened rooms furnished with drippy candles, checkered tablecloths and Chianti bottles in straw flasks. It also means robust red sauce, buttery garlic bread and heaps of mozzarella baked golden. Finally, cheap Italian means delicious.
Here, our picks for the best local spots at which to get your meatball and manicotti fix. Since we're dealing with comfort cooking, there's nothing newfangled about the rules here: As always, the finalists are in no particular order; the winner gets the number one slot and Erin Thompson compiled our contributors' comments.
10. Vito's
This Italian eatery, originally founded in 1953, has a rich history in organized crime and cocktail culture. Greg Lundgren of The Hideout restored the late beloved establishment in spring of 2010, promising to restore it to its old-school cool state. That he has. Customers will feel like they're on an episode of The Sopranos. Food includes classics like cannelloni, lasagna, and spaghetti with meatballs, plus pricier dishes like filet mignon and rack of lamb. And in the back room, which features a full bar, there's live entertainment via a grand piano, lounge singers, and literally, all that jazz.
9. Al Boccalino
Jason Lam
Pioneer Square is known more for its appeal to suburban 20-somethings looking to get blind drunk than as a dynamic neighborhood where people actually live. But explore it comprehensively, and you'll see an area well equipped to mimic a historic European town center on a sunny afternoon. Luigi DeNunzio has long seen this potential, opening, closing, and reopening a slew of Italian restaurants over the past quarter-century in an area he's long proclaimed to be Seattle's Little Italy. Even if that boot has never quite fit the way DeNunzio has dreamed it would, his Al Boccalino is a gorgeous, friendly space in which to enjoy a surprisingly affordable two-hour lunch (accompanied by wine, naturally) a block from the sea, just like in Vernazza.
8. Urban Nomad
Urban Nomad's lime-green truck is an offshoot of a brick and mortar establishment on Elliott catering to F5 and Big Fish Games employees; its specialty is pasta, a surprisingly rare specialty in the Seattle food truck scene. The hand-formed turkey meatballs are juicy, plump and spiced optimally to complement the marinara sauce. Quinoa noodles--the truck's gluten-free option--are slightly earthier in texture than their gluten laden brethren, but other than that, a terrific mate to the turkey meatballs, basil and asiago cheese. For 9 bucks, this is a budget effective meal as it can easily be shared with a pal or consumed over two sittings.
7. That's Amore
There are some spectacular vantage points that no one should tell the tourists about. Olympic Sculpture Park: for everyone. Above the I-90 tunnel: just for us. Though its rear window looks across the Rainier Valley to downtown and the Sound, That's Amore defies every expectation of a "view" restaurant. The place is filled at lunch and dinner with Mount Baker residents, who come for the homey, inexpensive pastas, giant meatballs, juicy roasted pork loin, and the servers, who seem to know every diner's quirks and preferences.
Don't Miss: Top 10 Cheap Italian Joints slideshow
Mamma Melina anchors the corner of a block-long building of modern condos and retail space near University Village. On sunny days, with the restaurant's large glass doors open onto the expansive patio, it looks more like L.A. than the U District. Inside, tables are topped with white linens and surrounded by sleek, modern molded-plastic chairs. A wood-fired oven glows from the kitchen, turning out Neapolitan-style pizzas with charred edges and slightly soggy centers. The pasta is made in-house, the steaks are from Painted Hills, and the portions are sizable. But as UW professors and grad students know, the bar offers one of the best--and tastiest--happy hours around: Select pizzas are $6, house wine is $14 a bottle, and the entire bar menu is slashed in half.
Fremont survives and prospers as long as Brad Inserra is behind the stove at the Swingside. Inserra loves sautés, braises, and fricassees, often robed in dense, spice-scented tomato sauces. He loves piling nuggets of fresh seafood atop swirls of pasta, secreting seasonal mushrooms and vegetables in one-dish meals, creating a kind of regional Calabrian gumbo from whatever's in good supply right now. And all this hearty cooking is served in nicely noisy intimacy in a cozy space that makes diners feel like friends of the family.
4. Machiavelli
Machiavelli is a full-on New York-style neighborhood Italian joint transplanted to Capitol Hill, with the vinyl tablecloths, waitresses who make you save your fork for your next course, and the consistently great food to prove it. The Caesar salad and pastas are excellent, pasta specials with seafood are likewise, and meats come with sides of fantastic roasted potatoes and garlicky sautéed greens. Machiavelli is a perfect date place, and has even hosted a few marriage proposals over the years.
3. Il Corvo
While waiting in line to place an order for agnolotti, tagliatelle, or any of the other hand-crafted pastas on the daily-changing menu of noodle dishes at Il Corvo, flour virtuoso Mike Easton's cash-only weekday lunch spot, a glass of wine might seem an unnecessary midday indulgence. But Easton's extraordinary pastas and soulful sauces, wrought from whatever ingredients strike his current fancy, are too sensuous to pair with water. Easton's creations, incongruously sold from behind the counter at a gelato shop abutting a bug museum, are vivid reminders that authenticity is a matter not only of provisions and technique, but honest appreciation. Order a glass of chianti or pinot grigio, sit, and savor. Repeat tomorrow.
2. Casa D'Italia Market & Cafe
Owner Anthony Donatone doesn't believe in "feeding you with an eye-dropper," so visitors to this Ravenna red sauce joint should steel themselves for plenty of pasta. Donatone boils one noodle shape a day: Diners have their pick of about a dozen different sauces inspired by his most recent market visit. The restaurant, tucked into a very residential neighborhood, has a cozy, lived-in feel, accentuated by walls of family photographs and Frank Sinatra's omnipresence on the stereo. When the weather's warm, the best seats are on the patio.
While a fair number of UW students end up at Marcello Ristorante with visiting parents, the room is set for romance. In this economy, fairly priced spaghetti and cheap red wine could put anyone in a lovestruck mood, but the always-darling Marcello ups the ante with music, candlelight, deferential service, and outstanding versions of Italian-American classics, including a robust Bolognese and garlicky seafood pastas.

text: Hi. I'm having no success at all in trying to edit the default "primary sidebar" that only appears on the left side of the blog or "posts" page. It's not accessible through dragging/dropping widgets, as it overrides any attempts. Searching all the code, but I can't find the lines to comment out. Other themes resolve this issue in modifying sidebar.php or, in this case, sidebar-primary.php; but, it seems to be different for oxygen. I've also searched the "default-widgets" file in the "includes" folder to no avail. I'd basically just like to wipe it clean and make it accessible to mods through the widget panel. Thanks for any insight.

WARNING: Major Star Ocean: TTEOT spoilers used as an example!!!
Some of your plot sounds like Star Ocean: TTEOT. Party of three out to overthrow the Creator of a game they know as real life (although, I like that game's name for the Creator better). To me, this whole thing is like combining that game with the first season of Digimon. I know this was very brief, but Bell took all of the good stuff...
