"Nice modern hotel. Clean with heated pool and small gym. Rooms are large and price was reasonable. Location is quiet but out of town. You need a car.

People: Jack White's record release might be world record
Jack White played his new single "Lazaretto" for a couple of hundred fans on Record Store Day and four hours later a copy of the performance was available on a limited run of vinyl.
The singer and guitarist called it the "world's fastest-released record."
But don't look for it in the Guinness World Record Book, as White admitted he doesn't know if anyone else has attempted the feat. The stunt was a promotion for Record Store Day and his upcoming album, "Lazaretto."
White performed Saturday morning at his Third Man Records label. As he was playing, fans could watch on television the acetate record being cut in a room behind the stage. After the title song from the upcoming album, he also recorded a cover of Elvis Presley's "Power of My Love," which was the B-side on the record. The master was then hustled over to the United Record Pressing plant, also in Nashville.
Chris Brown trial to start Monday
A judge has set Monday as the start date for the assault trial of singer Chris Brown in the nation's capital.
During a brief court appearance Friday in which he wore a suit and tie, Brown turned to wave and salute supporters in the courtroom, including his mother and the rapper Bow Wow.
The case that begins Monday is significant for the Grammy winner not only because he faces up to six months in jail but also because if convicted he could face additional penalties, including jail time, as a result of an earlier case from California. At the time he was arrested in Washington, Brown was on probation in Los Angeles for an attack on his then-girlfriend, the singer Rihanna, in 2009.
Brown entered anger management rehab at a California facility shortly after his Washington arrest, but he was dismissed from it in mid-March for violating its rules. He was then jailed and has been in custody since.
First lady to appear in ABC's 'Nashville'
Michelle Obama will appear on the May 7 episode of the ABC country music drama "Nashville."
The episode is titled "All Or Nothing With Me" and is set at Fort Campbell.
The first lady and Jill Biden, the wife of Vice President Joe Biden, are scheduled to visit the Army base in Kentucky on Wednesday to address a jobs summit and career forum for service members, veterans and their spouses. The appearance is for the third anniversary of their nationwide initiative to support military families, called Joining Forces.
The first lady's appearance on "Nashville," by video, is also for Joining Forces.
Obama is already set to appear on Thursday's season finale of the NBC hit "Parks and Recreation."

£1m-a-year Morrisons boss axes £5,000-a-month fund that paid for lunches for hundreds of retired staff
Dalton Philips, the £1million-a-year chief executive of Morrisons, has axed funding for social activities for hundreds of elderly ex-staff.
The company has stopped payments of just £5,000 a month to subsidise pensioners' lunches, a magazine and other perks.
Philips could afford to pay the £5,000 out of his £850,000 basic salary and still have nearly £66,000 left each month, not counting his £17,750 a month pension benefit.
No such thing as a free lunch: Dalton Philips is economising
claims it slashed the payments because too few people took part. But
correspondence from the company, seen by the Mail, states the motive was
to funnel money into cutting prices in stores.
Pensioners say the £5,000 a month is a drop in the ocean to the firm, and the decision has upset former staff who want to keep in touch with old colleagues, many of whom are in their seventies and eighties.
Underwood, 72, of Colnbrook, Berkshire, worked for 20 years at Argyll
and Safeway, now part of the Morrisons empire, before retiring at 56.
She said: 'I have been to the lunches and I know how much people value them.
people are quite lonely, and this gives them the chance to be in a
community of former colleagues. It is more than just a lunch, it is
about camaraderie.
the scheme of things, what difference is that bit of money going to
make to Morrisons? The saving is out of all proportion to how people
will feel.'
activities were organised through the Morrisons Plus group. The social
programme was started by the Safeway Pensioners' Association and
continued by Morrisons when the companies merged in 2003.
firm said admin costs had become too high, and claimed less than 10 per
cent of the 8,000 Morrisons Plus members went to the lunches, typically
held at in-store restaurants.
the pensioners say that although the proportion of former staff taking
part is low, the decision still affects hundreds of people.
the last round of lunches, 194 attended in Maidstone, Kent, 164 in West
Yorkshire, 121 in Warrington, more than 80 in Glasgow and Birmingham
and 60 in Blackpool.
former worker said: 'People have been meeting for many years. It was
their major social event and now it is being taken away.'
letter from the firm's pensions team to members did not mention low
take-up, stating: 'This funding will be diverted into providing the very
best pricing to you and all our other customers.'
A spokesman added: 'Morrisons Plus members will carry on getting benefits such as discounts on groceries. However, we'll no longer be funding the pensioner committee and meals for members. They didn't prove popular and only a small number took them up.'

I'd want to book like 50 flights and travel everywhere I'm interested in. Would probably stay at each location for two-three days before moving on. Of course, my family in Europe would be the first place I'd visit, and I'd probably give them the most time as I possibly can. They're scattered all over Russia, Germany, Greece, and England, so I'd have quite a lot of time to explore those places while spending time with them!
That's assuming I don't freak out, though.. knowing me, I'd spend the first few days crying my eyes out until I just lose my sanity. ): I wouldn't take something like that very well and would be petrified.

Like a backhanded compliment, being ejected from the Crusaders provided the catalyst for Sean Maitland's unlikely career move.
There's more than a sense of irony that after Zac Guildford's continued troubles the Crusaders are scratching around for quality outside backs.
Last year, the red-and-blacks delisted Maitland, pushing him out the door and on the road to retrace his Scottish lineage, through his grandparents.
"I had one year on my contract and I was surprised that [Crusaders coach] Todd [Blackadder] delisted me," Maitland said from his new home in Glasgow, where he's committed for the next three-years.
"That's just the way it goes. That's footy. I had a mixed 2012 with a few injuries and form. In the back of my mind I was always thinking about heading overseas. It just made my decision quite easy."
Easy in the sense it was a move towards international rugby - an arena Maitland craved, but at 24, it was a defining decision, nonetheless.
Growing up in Tokoroa and attending Hamilton Boys' High School, the former New Zealand Maori and age group flyer - this bloke has serious pace - had one dream: To be an All Black. Singing Flower of Scotland at Murrayfield, where he scored his first try in the Heineken Cup, didn't feature in future plans.
"I would never have thought that as a young boy. I had always supported Waikato my whole life," he reflected.
A conversation with Sean Lineen, the Auckland-born centre who played 29 tests and won a Grand Slam with Scotland, sealed his shift in allegiance.
"I'm very lucky to have my dad being Scottish and my grandparents being born in Scotland, it gave me another opportunity with rugby," he said. "Not many guys have that.
"I'm not going to lie, a young boy growing up I wanted to play for the All Blacks, but I put that aside and set myself new goals over here. It seems to be going pretty good at the moment."
Four months after leaving Christchurch, the kilted Kiwi is poised to debut at Twickenham on February 2, and attempt to help Scotland claim their first win at the venue for 30-years. Before then, though, he'll need to master his adopted anthem.
"That's something I've still got to learn," he admitted, sheepishly.
"I used to sing it at high school but I've forgot some of the words so I better start practicing."
Five games for Glasgow were enough to confirm his place in Scott Johnson's Six Nations squad.
And this week, he got a taste of a potentially prestigious prospect.
Selection in Warren Gatland's British and Irish Lions squad this year sets the backdrop to the tournament. Maitland could, yet, force his way into the mix to tour Australia, provided he gets enough quality ball on the right wing.
Filling out the paperwork and being fitted for Lions gear heightened his drive to impress Gatland.
"Trying on all the Lions gear was pretty cool. It got you thinking you've got another opportunity, not only with Scotland, but if you play well you could be in the mix for the Lions," he said.
"It will be a tough team to make but it's a goal for me. Everyone is thinking about it."
Living in Glasgow, venue for next year's Commonwealth Games, has benefits beyond the rugby fields.
As with many parts of Europe, rugby players are second-class citizens. Bitter cross-city rival football clubs, Celtic and Rangers, attract 60,000 supporters. Meanwhile, Gregor Townsend-coached Glasgow plays in-front of a mere 6000 fan-base.
That's not a bad thing. Maitland enjoys the break from the New Zealand fishbowl, walking the streets without being recognised and eyeing a holiday in the Canary Islands is pure bliss for a young man with the world at his feet.
"One door closes and another one opens," he said, content. "It just shows you can't take this game for granted. I've got some good years ahead of me and I'm excited for what the future holds."
This time of year there's only one downside - winter.
"The biggest adjustment is getting up 20 minutes early in the freezing cold and having to scrape off a centimetre of ice from all the windows of your car. That's a bit of a pain."
Otherwise, life couldn't be better.
It seems the Crusaders' loss is Scotland's and, possibly, Lions' gain.

USC football: Galippo to have MRI on shoulder
Quick hitters from USC's Wednesday-morning practice:
** Linebacker Chris Galippo is scheduled to have an MRI today on the right shoulder he injured Tuesday. Coach Lane Kiffin said that's standard procedure for an injury like that and not a sign it's worse than originally feared. Galippo did not practice.
** Kiffin said senior receiver Brandon Carswell might be the MVP of training camp so far. Regardless of whether he starts, Carswell is a lock to be in the regular rotation.
** Quarterback Jesse Scroggins did not practice and will see a hand specialist after injuring the thumb on his throwing hand Monday night.
** Receiver Markeith Ambles will not practice until he is academically eligible, Kiffin said. Summer-school grades are expected to be posted soon.
** One day after moving into the starting lineup at right guard, freshman Aundrey Walker missed the latter half of practice because of a sore right hip.
** Cornerback Tony Burnett missed the end of practice after turning his left ankle. His main competitor, Torin Harris, remained out because of a concussion.
** Freshman tailback Amir Carlisle missed part of practice because of quadriceps injury.
** Kiffin said the punting competition is open between walk-on Kyle Negrete and freshman Kris Albarado. If they're even, Albarado would redshirt to give him an extra year of eligibility. Kiffin said the same would apply to freshman long-snapper Peter McBride, who's competing with incumbent Chris Pousson.

Some airlines seek an advantage with plush, roomier regional jets
Cape Girardeau's new airline won't be following a trend to add new regional jets with first-class seats, roomier cabins and, in some cases, hot food.
Many carriers are hoping business travelers tired of a cramped 50-seat jet will pay extra for a flight experience closer to what they get on a mainline jet. The addition could help airlines turn a profit on flights that have been a loss-leader feeding traffic into long-haul flights, although rising fuel prices could complicate the plan.
But Cape Girardeau's service will be on 19-seat Beechcraft turboprop airplanes with only a single class of service, said Fred DeLeeuw, president of Big Sky Airlines. Big Sky won the contract to provide service to Cape Girardeau in March, but delays in hiring pilots mean the date service will start is still in limbo, DeLeeuw said.
"We do have some meetings scheduled within the next week to 10 days, and we are hiring pilots as fast as we can," DeLeeuw said.
Airlines that recently went through bankruptcy -- Northwest, Delta and United -- are the freest to add such jets because of relaxed restrictions in their pilot contracts.
Northwest Airlines Corp. is adding 72 new 76-seat jets through next year. Half will be Bombardier CRJ-900s flown by its Mesaba subsidiary and the other half will be Embraer 175s flown by its new Compass subsidiary. Both include a dozen first-class seats, and the cabin is roomier than on Northwest's other regional jets. Delta Air Lines Inc. plans to fly 77 dual-class regional jets by the end of 2008, and United regional partners now fly about 115 70-seat jets with coach, first-class and an Economy Plus seat with extra legroom.
Delta spokeswoman Betsy Talton said business customers have been asking for the regional first-class seats for years. The aim with the new jets is "to make it all more seamless and more like the mainline jet experience," she said.
The size of the Cape Girar-deau market means those bigger jets won't be making an appearance here, DeLeeuw said. The bigger jets are being added by carriers with larger passenger loads flying out of larger cities, he said.
First-class seats on Northwest's new jets will include the same level of meal service as on regular flights. Northwest said it helped design its version of the Bombardier CRJ900, which has 6 feet 2 inches from floor to ceiling in the aisle, and windows that are 25 percent bigger than an earlier version of the CRJ900.
That's a big improvement over the 50-seaters often used on regional routes, even if doesn't quite match mainline flying, said aviation consultant George Hamlin of Airline Capital Associates Inc.
Brad Ness has flown United-affiliated smaller jets from Fargo, N.D., to Denver several times. "They certainly work," said Ness, who is president of S&S Promotional Group in Fargo. "But the bigger ones would be nicer."
Southeast Missourian reporter Rudi Keller contributed to this report.

The Best Altman Films
I admire your list greatly. Yes, I am a M*A*S*H fan, and I would have placed it after your top two, which are also my own two favorite Altman films.
I must admit, I like Cookie's Fortune and Kansas City, but there are other Altman works I enjoy even more. Tanner '88 was made for HBO, but I would probably rank it number five after your top two, M*A*S*H, and McCabe and Mrs. Miller. Have you had the chance to see Tanner?
Vincent and Theo is also a quite good film.
Very good. I'm looking forward to reading your other lists.
0023: The 100 Best Rock Albums (10-1)
I'm very impressed. Your writing and knowledge are top-notch, and for the most part, your selections are rather apt.
I do believe you placed Aretha Franklin a bit too high, and I do disagree with your comments about Led Zeppelin (although I was glad to see you include IV on your list and to give the under-rated "When the Levee Breaks," the attention it deserves).
I also would have had to include either Tumbleweed Connection or, more probably, Honky Chateau on the list.
Despite these minor differences, we do have an amazing amount in common, including our love of Elvis Costello, Sonic Youth, and Bob Dylan. I suppose I'll have to investigate Adam Again and Mark Heard now.
Really, this list is extremely excellent. You should be proud.
Eleven Best Films Of The 1970's
Over the Edge? The Matt Dillon film? It is a fairly good film (with a soundtrack by the Ramones!) but I couldn't really put it on a list with such esteemed company.
The Man Who Fell to Earth and Dog Day Afternoon also seem a bit out of place, but just a bit.
I do greatly miss The Conversation, Network, Jaws, Five Easy Pieces, Manhattan, Badlands, and The French Connection, among others. Of course, these would make this a rather unwieldy top ten list, wouldn't they?.

I personally could never put Easy Rider, much less Hoosiers or River's Edge, over Rebel Without a Cause. I also treasure Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, which Mr. Hopper has a role in.

The Long Haul: Financial Self-Sufficience
IANAA (I am not an accountant) but I did grow up in a CPA office. I would suggest digging up any friends/relatives/etc. who have successfully run a small (not nec. tech-related) business and ask them.
I think the first answer you'll get is to cut costs. It seems to me that your ISP is, umm, doing quite well for themselves with your plan. (See my e-mail on that topic.)
Second, look at your assets. I see a *lot* of value here in three main areas:
1) The software that runs the Listology itself
2) The skillset it represents
3) The data
Is it possible you could generic-ize the listology software and sell it? Are there other applications for such a tool? Amazon seems to think so. Coming up with this sort of thing is my bag so I'll ponder this and see what I can come up with.
I'm not sure what you do for a living, but if you're not a professional web designer, you have an incredible talent that isn't being fully used. If you are, perhaps you could view the Listology as a marketing expense? I deduct my web sites on my taxes, letting Uncle Sam pay for nearly half of them. $100/mo is a bit much, but if you can cut that down a bit, it might be reasonable.
And if you don't have a need for such marketing yourself, perhaps there is someone who does? You could add a discreet but noticeable "Sponsored by..." line somewhere. Perhaps your employer (if you're not self-employed)? It wouldn't have to be a complete take-over, but if you cut costs, perhaps someone would be interested in supporting the Listology. How many page views do you serve per month? 1K? 10K? It's got to be a lot. Exclusive sponsorship is worth more than just being one of many banner ads, and can seem philanthropic as well.
Lastly, the data is valuable. Now, I'm rather opposed to the idea of collecting information from people or having people generate data which you then sell, but perhaps something like the slashbox might be of interest to other sites? Would your local bookstore be interested in a Slashbox-type box for their web page listing random book lists? What if you put together a list of the Lists that contained a movie and let a movie theatre include that on their page for that movie? This is a touchy subject, though.
Anyway, I would certainly be willing to chip in. Perhaps you should go ahead and set up a PayPal account?

bands that give rock n roll a bad name
In defense of Limp Bizkit (an unlikely phrase):
They obviously have a high grade of musical talent, as evidenced by the great guitar work of Wes Borland, and the ability to lay down a great heavy beat to songs like 'Nookie' and 'My Generation'(if you don't believe me, listen to the first 20 seconds of each), and, contrary to your opinion, they usually have some sense of both rhyme and reason in their lyrics. An example of this is the song 'My Generation', where they include solid references to earlier generations' pop culture while rebelling against the poor treatment of today's youth by the modern adult population, which if it were a racial or sexual minority receiving that treatment, the media would lash out against the discrimination. I am a fan of many types of music from several decades, but to hear the music of a group as well-built as Limp Bizkit slandered in such an ignorant manner offends me. I do not wish to offend anyone, so if i have, please tell me, and I'll apologize for it.

Film Review: Groundhog Day
No time brother, no time. Not enough hours in the day. But one of these days I'm going to clone those reviews of yours that I disagree with. Consider yourself forewarned. :-)
Seen in 2001
Well, I did think the fishhook scene was terrific.
Favorite Actors
I appreciate those actors (well, I'd like to think I do) but am not excited by them (or at least, I'm not as excited as I used to be). I know their contributions are huge, and certainly they've made some movies that I love or greatly admire, but I don't find myself actively seeking out their work (either to watch the stuff I haven't seen, or to rewatch their classics). The fault is almost certainly my own. I seem stuck in the now, and don't rewatch many classics (although I'm trying to catch the ones I've missed). And I think all those actor's best works are behind them. So my recency-freak tendencies (which I continue to work on and fail) combined with their not picking their projects as carefully these days and/or mailing-in recent performances and/or not getting choice roles keeps them off my "favorites" list. But I really should add Nicholson to some kind of "Former Favorites" category. I really liked him at one time. I'll think on that.
Favorite Actors
Jim..I see no Brando, De Niro, Pacino, Nicholson, Hoffman. Are you a fan of these acting giants?
Seen in 2001
Well, I think The Perfect Storm was a really good film.
Film Review: Groundhog Day
I really like this film as well Bertie. It's all the above you said it was. It's good to see other people writing reviews on movies now. I wonder, maybe the reason no one posts on my reviews is because I pick boring movies? I've posted 26 reviews and totaled I have about 8 or 10 comments. Whatever..
Film Review: Groundhog Day
Your last sentence sums it up beautifully (and I agree with the rest as well). Great movie. But you forgot to mention that it's also really funny. :-)
I never would have guessed that I'd rewatch so many times a movie in which the same day is repeated over and over.

ZLMC001: Taxi Driver (1976) [Spoiler Alert!]
You talkin' t' me? [sorry, couldn't resist].
TAXI DRIVER is a serious movie, a realistic movie - perhaps not believable in its entirety, but individual scenes are very believable. Two for-instances: the scene when Bickle tries to assassinate the senator and is chased off, and the scene when he guns down the pimps running the under-age prostitute (played superbly by Jodie Foster). This latter scene, in particular, is one of the most convincing scenes of violence in any American movie.

J.J Johnson is in prison isn't he? I am sure the family wants to know what happened and I would also, but everyone is one here running the family down, If anyone knows for sure what the deal is then please by all means spill it but if not then shut up and leave the family alone, you know not only is the wife and the children are around here, but the grandchildren as well don't ya think they read stuff on here when everyone is on here typing the stuff they are, think of those poor little kids. That is their grandmother you are gossiping about.
#24 Dec 30, 2008
How do you know the wife done it? Were you there? No I don't think so!!! Like I said think what you want but don't put this on here their grandchildren are kids and they get on here and read this crap. I just find it aweful funny you people get on here and type this stuff when you don't know for sure what you are talking about.
#25 Dec 31, 2008
This whole thing is so bizarre!
Kinda like the Caylee Anthony case, except nobody is being held accountable for his disappearance.(wonder why?) Is this family sad for his disappearance? Why are they not looking for him? Did they ever look for him? Maybe it is time for people to talk and tell what they know.
If someone disappears they have a right to be rescued and found.
#26 Dec 31, 2008
people wont talk about the ones who go missing around here..its like they never existed.
#27 Dec 31, 2008
Maybe that is what they want the public to believe. If it was my family member I would be doing everything to find out what happened to him. Apparently this family has no reason to question anyone about his whereabouts.(maybe because they already know). What else would make such loved ones of Roger shut thier mouths? Oops loving family thoughts just flew out the window!!
Why are the family members not being interrogated by the police or fbi? Why are they not looking or asking the community questions? Makes you go HMMMMMMM..........
#28 Dec 31, 2008
What is wrong with you gossiping heifers? First of all this case is a couple of years old, its not like he just came up missing a week ago. Secondly just how long do you expect the FBI to look for one missing person? Forever? If that was the case they would still be looking for the millions who turn up missing. Secondly the family did look for him, there was a big deal about his disapearance in the papers and on the news. Just recently like in the last year, they went and dug up his wifes and his yard looking for his possible remains. It could be that he doesn't want to be found, and quiet frankly if that was the surest way to keep him alive I would swear I didn't know where my husband was at too. Shame on you people for sticking your nose where it doesn't belong!!

Bruce Gentry mysteriously had a heart attack, Larry Harville had a heart attack, The police found Darryl Lawson hung in his own home with the shit beat out of him, I guess he beat the shit out of hisself before he hung himself, and David Rains turned hisself in for selling drugs, now who calls the police and turns their self in for selling drugs.
You Freaking Idiot. Bruce od. Larry was pushing the drugs also, and Pity aka Darryl LOST his FREAKING SON yea its tore him up..And he couldnt handle it. took his own life and fit the night before with friends. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT...the other ripped off the wrong dude. your friend rogers his.mistake was having money.and the other so called friend at the car lot,if he left the wifey do the math, wifey job & boyfriend wouldnt support her lifestyle . Lets keep it real here ok.Damn you people are slow...Why you thing they dug up wifeys yard. its called motive......Its not that he doesnt want to be found it's that he cant.He loved his children too, and would have contacted them if he could.So dont go reaching when it not nessary it makes you look like a idiot.If you didnt want the children and grand children to hear the truth you shouldnt have posted this forum. again you idiots..
#33 Jan 5, 2009
I think you are the dam Idiot
#34 Jan 5, 2009
I did not make this post for you damn information for one and for two it was the sons damn yard they dug up now get your facts straight!!! I do not believe in any way that Rogers family had anything to do with him disappearing. I think you are the one needing to get facts straight.
#35 Jan 5, 2009
Thats all right Time will tell.Jury is coming.One way or another.
#36 Jan 5, 2009
You are absolutely right there mister holier than thou, The jury is coming so is the judge and the execusioner, and it ain't you me nor anyone else on this earth!!!!!!! GOD will do all of that and he is the only one who can really do it in the first place. Yes you can be put in jail or prison but big deal, I would rather be in prison all my life than be sent to HELL for eternity. As far as you accusations about me I did not make this post I am only stating my opinions as to what I think, I know this family, If you know so much then spill it, tell the law or whoever but have proof to back it up. I also know what was said about the others that is what was in the paper, but things are not always as the paper reads either, If you know so much about that then spill it as well and one more thing Little Darrell Lawson was my cousin so I do believe that I know he was killed in a car wreck thank you very much. I just have one question I would really like to ask you if in fact the wife did do this, why are her children standing behind her, do you not think that if those kids thought she had something to do with it they would tell, I know that is their mom but if I thought someone killed my daddy and I had something to go on I don't care who it was I am telling then let the law do what they are paid to do investigate and prove they done it. Which the law has investigated it ever since it has happened and they have found nothing, So why haven't they? The law has tore this community upside down ever since this has happened talked to everyone and still they have nothing. So you tell me what proof do you have?

I am Rogers' first cousin, his mom and my dad were brother and sister, and I can tell you that Roger would of never been this long without visiting a family member somewhere, we have an aunt that lives in Oklahoma that he did visit after his mom passed away, I talk to our aunt on a regular bases, we all agree that it's not like Roger to leave and not even visit family at some point...I can only guess what happened to my cousin, but I can bet I will never see him on earth again.
#39 May 9, 2009

Didn't you hear he was found buried in his front yard? He's a relative of mine. Funny, he was missing for so long and they found him right there in the front.

I've always hated the principal too, he comes off as a leftover from 80s manga where you'd typically see his ridiculous caricature appear. I think Motto TLR was influenced by the start of TLR: Darkness around the same time, which significantly ramps up the nudity. As the title suggests, this series just more of the show, but I think when the anime for Darkness comes around, fanservice and actual development of Rito's harem should be off the charts. Actually acknowledging in story that a useless male has a harem in the first place, and then working to grow and solidify it as a main plot point must be a first for these kinds of stories.
I did like the color palette and designs this time around, they felt less anime-redesigned than the first season.
As for missing that OVA, the situation reminds me of the Queen's Blade Beautiful Fighters OVAs which are also important in bridging the gap between the second series and Rebellion. Characters grow apart, characters meet up with others, and the groundwork for the underlying problems in QBR are laid down. Sentai needs to grab that and the pre-airing OVAs which came out just recently, perhaps selling them in a single box.

I'm still waiting patiently for Sentai to release You're Under Arrest: No Mercy... They don't seem to be in any hurry. They're already done two releases each of the 2001 series (the one Animeigo didn't have) and Full Throttle, and still haven't gone back and filled in the gap.

I can't argue with that in this review
Well, overall I sort of enjoyed the series although the original Love-Ru was more to my appeal. I'm curious how To-Love Darkness will pull it off soon as I'll watch the OVA first. Hopefully, it'll give a good impression.

Not only does it have more toplessness and Rito going face first into some crotch, but Yabuki sneaks bare vag shots here and there as Easter eggs, like a reflection in Rito's eye. It feels like he's trying to push that envelope as far as it'll go, and I dearly hope the anime version can match up. Although Xebec's Atsushi Ootsuki has shown himself to be quite competent in delivering that ecchi material as of late: Kanokon OVA, Ladies Vs. Butlers, Motto TLR, and upcoming Darkness.

|I really liked the episode format with each episode being divided into 3 parts. I agree with Theron that it made the stories a lot more digestible. If they went any longer I'd probably have to keep checking the time to see when they would end. Fortunately the series found the right balance. It was pretty fun overall.

|Guess I'll have to watch those OVAs before these show up on The Anime Network soon. The first series was fun enough, so I'm looking forward to seeing the sequel, but I don't want to miss a bunch of character intros. The new characters would just feel out of place for me.

|I watched the original To Love-Ru and found it really goddamned stupid. (And not the right kind of stupid either.) Motto is basically the original TV series with the wrong stupid taken out and the right stupid put in. (Well... mostly.)

Don't give people too much hope that the OVA series actually explains everything.
While the plant girl is in the OVA, it doesn't really explain her.
The OVA doesn't even touch on the reason the ghost girl now has a body.
IIRC the new series mentions Rito and Mikan's parents as if we should know what they're talking about, but we never got that story from the previous series or the OVA series.
I guess they know what sells... and it ain't story.
I fully expect Darkness to jump in without actually showing the resolution of the original To-Love-Ru story.

No, you are missing my point. I want a Rito-free Yami/Mikan story.
I can't [expletive] stand Rito. I can't stand him in the original manga, the TV series, the OVAs, or Darkness. He's everything thats [expletive] wrong with this genre.

Well,from the sounds of this review,i would have enjoyed it a lot since i'm a die hard ecchi/fanservice junkie.
Too bad it's an sub only release. Guess will have to skip this and stick to the Ikkitousen,Girls Bravo & Queens Blade releases since those releases also HAVE eng dubs included.

Canadian midfielder agrees one-year contract with Crawley Town
The club have today completed the signing of midfielder Emmett O'Connor on a one-year deal, subject to international clearance.
The 21-year-old from Ontario has been with the club since the start of pre-season training and has done enough to earn himself his first professional contract.
Emmett began playing competitive football in 2010 with St Bonaventure Bonnies University team near Buffalo in New York State.
He played 57 league games for them, scoring nine goals, in the Atlantic 10 League against other colleges and university teams across eastern America.
Last season he played for Scarborough City Celtic in the Ontario Soccer League.
Manager John Gregory said: "Emmett was recommended to us, paid his own way over here to try and earn himself a contract and he has really impressed myself and the staff here.
"He works hard, has got plenty of skill and an end product in terms of his crossing and finishing.
"He is desperate to forge a career in English football. His background is a bit unusual but he's a fit lad with a lot of talent. We've got a small squad this season so everyone has to be ready to play
and Emmett will play his part I have no doubt."
Emmett said: "It has always been an ambition of mine to play in England and I am delighted to be a Crawley Town player. It's a big opportunity for me. I have really enjoyed the three weeks I have been with the squad and my aim now is to push on and hopefully be part of the squad on a regular basis."
Look out for a video interview with our new signing shortly on our YouTube channel and Reds Player.

Commodity Derivatives House of the Year – Standard Chartered
The last 12 months have been hard on global banks' commodity businesses across the world and Asia has been no exception. Whether it was deleveraging restricting a bank's capabilities, or a risk-off attitude among investors and hedging end-users that affected flow volumes, or continued ambivalence towards exotic solutions, revenues were hit. A clear trend emerged in staffing, as traders abandoned investment banks and moved to trading houses such as Mercuria and Vitol. However, Standard Chartered...

Christmas celebrations were put on the backburner as staff from incident response specialists Braemar Howells worked round the clock to prevent a potential environmental disaster off the UK coast at Falmouth, Cornwall.
The bulk carrier Newcastle carrying Ferrous Sulphate en‐route from Spain, destined for a chemical company in Grimsby, got into difficulty in the Bay of Biscay when its cargo became contaminated with seawater and shifted, causing the vessel to take on a dangerous starboard list. The vessel was brought into Falmouth as a casualty and detained by the MCA pending resolution of the problem.
The Falmouth‐based team from Braemar Howells, part of the international Braemar Shipping Services group, became involved. Stuart Evans, the company's Managing Director for Industrial and Marine Services, explains: "It was a case of all hands to the pump. If the ship hadnʹt made it into Falmouth Docks this could have been a very serious situation indeed.ʺ
Drawing on their experience in dealing with the stricken cargo ship the Napoli, the maritime emergency specialists from Braemar Howells and their partner organizations worked around the clock to remove nearly 6,000 tonnes of potentially hazardous cargo – which had started to leach corrosive sulphuric acid – and take it to three specially prepared warehouses in Cornwall where it could be safely managed. There were fears that if the cargo was not removed quickly it had the potential to corrode the steel hull of the vessel.
Evans said: "This was an intense job for us and our staff worked in shifts right from the moment we were called in to help and even worked on Christmas Day. Braemar Howells has provided a very comprehensive service for this job. Not only have we removed the cargo into specially engineered storage in under 10 days, we have also cleaned and repaired the vessel making it seaworthy again.ʺ

Pats to meet with UT safety Thomas next week
|03.17.10 at 4:06 pm ET
A league source has confirmed to WEEI.com that the Patriots have scheduled a pre-draft meeting with Texas safety Earl Thomas next week in Austin, but no workout is scheduled with Thomas as of yet.
Thomas is considered one of the elite defensive backs available this year (in the latest WEEI.com mock draft, Thomas is slated to go 13th overall to the 49ers). The 5-foot-10, 195-pounder started all 27 games of his college career, finishing with 149 tackles, and 10 interceptions. As a sophomore last season, he set a Texas record with eight interceptions, and his two interception returns for touchdowns this season also set a school record.
Thomas' ball skills lead some to believe he might be able to make the transition from safety to cornerback in the NFL, a move he would welcome.
"Well, I think of myself as a defensive back playing corner, safety, strong safety or wherever they need me ' even in the slot. So wherever they have me, I'll play," he said last month at the NFL Combine. "I'm comfortable at corner, safety, nickel. It really doesn't matter. I'm just a ballplayer ready to play."

Despite a significant decrease in blood pressure, neither peripheral nor hepatic insulin sensitivity improved 6 months after RDN treatment in this group of insulin resistant, non-diabetic patients with resistant hypertension, as measured with gold standard methods.]]>
To investigate the potential implication of HYAL1 in the development of diabetes-induced endothelium dysfunction, we measured endothelial markers, endothelium-dependent vasodilation, arteriolar glycocalyx size, and glomerular barrier properties in wild-type and HYAL1 knockout (KO) mice with or without streptozotocin-induced diabetes. We observed that, 4 weeks after streptozotocin injections, the lack of HYAL1: 1) prevents diabetes-induced increases in soluble P-selectin concentrations and limits the impact of the disease on endothelium-dependent hyperpolarization (EDH)-mediated vasorelaxation; 2) increases glycocalyx thickness and maintains glycocalyx structure and HA content during diabetes; 3) prevents diabetes-induced glomerular barrier dysfunction assessed using urinary albumin/creatinine ratio and urinary 70/40-kDa dextran ratio. Our findings suggest that HYAL1 contributes to endothelial and glycocalyx dysfunction induced by diabetes. HYAL1 inhibitors could be explored as a new therapeutic approach to prevent vascular complications in diabetes.]]>
In streptozotocin diabetic mice, TRIB3 MOE exacerbated, while MKO prevented, GIIR, impaired glucose oxidation, and defects in insulin signal transduction when compared with wild type (WT), indicating that GIIR was dependent upon TRIB3. In response to a high fat diet, TRIB3 MOE exhibited greater weight gain and worse insulin resistance in vivo compared with WT, coupled with decreased AKT phosphorylation, increased inflammation and oxidative stress, and upregulation of lipid metabolic genes coupled with downregulation of glucose metabolic genes in skeletal muscle. These effects were prevented relative to WT in the TRIB3 MKO mice.
In conclusion, TRIB3 has both a pathophysiological role in diabetes and a physiological role in metabolism. Both GIIR and insulin resistance due to diet induced obesity is dependent upon muscle TRIB3. Under physiological conditions, muscle TRIB3 also influences energy expenditure and substrate metabolism, indicating that the decrease and increase in muscle TRIB3 under fasting and nutrient excess, respectively, are critical for metabolic homeostasis.]]>
In the UK Biobank the 50% of individuals carrying the most favorable adiposity alleles had higher BMIs (0.120 Kg/m2 [0.066,0.174]; p=1E-5) and higher body fat percentage (0.301 % [0.230,0.372]; p=1E-16) compared to the 50% of individuals carrying the fewest alleles. For a given BMI, the 50% of individuals carrying the most favourable adiposity alleles were at: 0.837 OR [0.784,0.894] lower risk of type 2 diabetes (p=1E-7), -0.859 mmHg [-1.099,-0.618] lower systolic (p=3E-12) and -0.394 mmHg [-0.534,-0.254] lower diastolic blood pressure (p=4E-8), 0.935 OR [0.911,0.958] lower risk of hypertension (p=1E-7) and 0.921 OR [0.872,0.973] lower risk of heart disease (p=3E-3). In women, these associations could be explained by the observation that the alleles associated with higher BMI but lower risk of disease were also associated with a favourable body fat distribution, with a lower waist-hip ratio (-0.004 [-0.005,-0.003] 50% vs 50%; p=3E-14) but in men, the favourable adiposity alleles were associated with higher waist circumference (0.454 cm [0.267,0.641] 50% vs 50%; p=2E-6) and higher waist-hip ratio (0.0013 [0.0003,0.0024] 50% vs 50%; p=0.01). Results were strengthened when meta-analysing with five additional studies. There was no evidence of interaction between a genetic score consisting of known BMI variants and the favorable adiposity genetic score.
In conclusion, different molecular mechanisms that lead to higher body fat percentage (with greater subcutaneous storage capacity) can have different impacts on cardiometabolic disease risk. While higher BMI is associated with higher risk of diseases, better fat storage capacity could reduce the risk.]]>
GPR40 is a G protein-coupled receptor regulating free fatty acid-induced insulin secretion. We have generated transgenic mice overexpressing the human GPR40 gene (hGPR40-Tg) under control of the mouse insulin II promoter and have used them to examine the role of GPR40 in the regulation of insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis.
Normal (C57BL/6J) and diabetic (KK) mice overexpressing the human GPR40 gene under control of the insulin II promoter were generated, and their glucose metabolism and islet function were analyzed.
In comparison with nontransgenic littermates, hGPR40-Tg mice exhibited improved oral glucose tolerance with an increase in insulin secretion. Although islet morphological analysis showed no obvious differences between hGPR40-Tg and nontransgenic (NonTg) mice, isolated islets from hGPR40-Tg mice enhanced insulin secretion in response to high glucose (16 mM) than those from NonTg mice with unchanged low glucose (3 mM)-stimulated insulin secretion. In addition, hGPR40-Tg islets significantly increased insulin secretion against a naturally occurring agonist palmitate in the presence of 11 mM glucose. hGPR40-Tg mice were also found to be resistant to high fat diet-induced glucose intolerance, and hGPR40-Tg harboring KK mice showed augmented insulin secretion and improved oral glucose tolerance compared to nontransgenic littermates.
Our results suggest that GPR40 may have a role in regulating glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and plasma glucose levels in vivo, and that pharmacological activation of GPR40 may provide a novel insulin secretagogue beneficial for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Someone stop the Europeans before they fish again.
Once again, European fishing nations have thumbed their noses at experts who assert that without reining in landings, Atlantic bluefin stocks could be fished into extinction in European waters before 2015. This week, a call for a moratorium on international trade of the highly profitable bluefin was scuttled when six of the 27 European Union member states blocked the European Commission proposal.
Such shortsighted thinking is maddening. Apparently as long as they're raking in the euros for bluefin sales, these countries are happy to keep fishing until they kill the goose that lays the golden egg.
Of course this isn't news to American tuna fishermen. For years at International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas meetings, they've watched the Europeans disregard recommendations to lower tuna quotas in one breath and in the next chisel away at catch shares allotted to the United States — the country that may be the most committed to fishing sustainably. My guess is that in the process, the U.S. ICCAT delegation has single-handedly kept stock prices for Rolaids and Excedrin high.
We hear that European consumers demand that the seafood they purchase bear the seal of the Marine Stewardship Council or another certifying agent that assures buyers that a particular fish species is harvested in a sustainable matter. Isn't it ironic that European harvesters don't seem to share consumers' concern?
