FORT HUACHUCA, Ariz.--The University of Arizona football team arrived at this sprawling Army post nestled against the Huachuca Mountains Wednesday evening to continue its fall camp among many specialists training for duties defending the front lines abroad.
The team traveled the 70 miles by buses from Tucson and were greeted by Maj. Gen. John M. Custer III, a two-star commanding general of the United States Army Intelligence Center and Fort Huachuca, and other officers along with personnel of the Morale, Welfare and Recreation outfit which helps UA by providing some of its facilities during the excursion.
The team ate dinner at the Thunder Mountain Activity Center on post and then were off to a few hours of spare time in barracks lodging before lights out.
Custer, who will retire in a month after more than three decades of service, spoke to the team briefly before dinner, chiding Coach Mike Stoops gently for slipping up and calling the facility a 'base.' "I'm the only one here who can correct Coach Stoops, but in the Army, sir, they're posts," Custer said.
UA will hold two-a-days tomorrow, a single practice Friday, one on Saturday morning and a scrimmage Saturday evening at Buena High School in nearby Sierra Vista. The team opened fall camp last Thursday in Tucson, but Stoops has now brought three teams to the Fort because of its obvious strong commitment to unity. The team will return to Tucson on Sunday.
Players will be afforded an opportunity to complete a Leadership Reaction Course and test their thinking processes further in an Engagement Skills Training weapons simulator, and Garrison Commander Col. Timothy Faulkner suggested to some UA officials that he could bring an explosives-sniffing specialist -- a German shepherd -- to a practice to illustrate the valuable animals' proficiency at security.
Tanja Linton, a post specialist who's helping supervise some facets of the team's visit, said most of the dogs, many who have seen duty overseas in Afghanistan or Iraq, outrank their handlers.
The trip gives team members a different view of the world around them, to be certain, mingling with human- or signals intelligence specialists and soldiers preparing for or returning from war zones. Preseason camp is pretty much business, but the things going on here are decidedly more serious.
Quick Vid: Cats Arrive on Post
Reporter Billy Witz of the New York Times was on hand when the team arrived. He's an acquaintance of Stoops and planned a piece on the synergy between the football squad and the Army personnel. Arizona is one of the few, if not the only Division I team, to conduct part of its preseason camp on an Army post.

The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) is seeking comments on a proposal to realign and reconstruct about 1.8 miles of Highway 117, west of Nashua. The project begins at the north end of the Milk River Bridge and proposes reconstructing Hwy. 117 north for 1.8 miles, intersecting with U.S. 2.
The project would create a second access to U.S. 2 for the community of Nashua through construction of a "grade separated crossing" of the BNSF railroad.
Community meetings were held last year in Nashua for a solution to the problem of trains blocking the highway through town for long perio...

(Come for the drinks, Stay for the music)
The cocktail is essentially an American creation, and, along with jazz and the KFC Double Down sandwich, one of our country's great contributions to world civilization. On the other hand, Americans have long been hostile to noble titles, which are not permitted any official recognition under the Constitution, and which were almost the subject of an unratified "Thirteenth Amendment." Indeed, with the exception of a select few, e.g. the houses of von Count and Chocula, Americans don't take kindly to creepy European lesser nobility. Resolving these two trends in American history, however, is the Negroni.
Named for a Florentine aristocrat, Count Camillo Negroni (sadly not the Count Negroni who led the charge in the Battle of Reichshoffen during the Franco-Prussian War) the drink perfectly combines bitter, spicy, and citrus flavors. Thus, a proper Negroni:
1 oz. sweet vermouth
1 oz. Campari
1 oz. gin
Add all the ingredients to an old-fashioned glass filled with ice; stir together; and garnish with orange peel if desired. I've seen Negroni's served straight up, but I like mine on the rocks because when served straight up the texture of the drink just isn't what it should be. If it's a hot afternoon, however, I don't mind a "long" Negroni, i.e. in a highball glass with a few ounces of soda water on top.
Now, the Negroni is not for everyone: modern tastes tending to run toward to the sweet and the sour and away from bitter, which is, after all, a defensive sense evolved to keep us from ingesting poison. When I first tried Campari and soda as a teenager, I thought it was disgusting — a cross between cough syrup and liquid red Jell-O. But now I know better: the Italians, they get bitter, and have a long tradition of amari, or potable bitters. The more obscure of these have been all the rage among craft bartenders, but the most famous of the bunch is Campari, the star player of the Negroni. I urge you to give this drink a try: for a haemophiliac per Hapsburg, the Italian count certainly got this one right. We can only hope it makes up for the loss of his feudal lands.
Drink up,

The annual event is aimed at fixing up local houses and LaCasa's rental properties.
More than 200 local volunteers rolled up their sleeves Saturday, May 10, for LaCasa's 24th Help-A-House event.
Sixteen Goshen homes underwent repairs ranging from landscaping to roof repairs, thanks to help from Goshen College students, church groups, businesses and others in the community.
Some of the repaired homes are rental properties owned by LaCasa, a nonprofit focused on community housing development. Others belong to low- to moderate-income homeowners.

President Museveni roots for unity of African continent at Namugongo
Posted Tuesday, June 3 2014 at 16:12
President Yoweri Museveni has urged the African countries and their people to remain united if they are to overcome any continental challenges like conflicts, unemployment and poverty, among others that have become eminent.
The president was today addressing pilgrims at the famous martyrs Shrine, Namugongo. In his message to thousands of pilgrims who thronged the martyrs' shrine to celebrate the Uganda martyrs day, the president pledged for Government's continued support to the church.
"You don't have to worry. We are here to support you because this day is not for the church or Christians alone,"
Quoting the bible's second greatest commandment- Love your neighbor as your self- Mr Museveni called for the need for good conduct amongst Christians since it is the yard stick by which they will judged.
"You will be judged by your conduct and actions," reiterated Mr Museveni.

Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) has been on quite a run lately, up more than 40% in about four weeks. The stock remains significantly low its IPO price of $38, so that's cold comfort to some early entrants, but Facebook stock is up more than 55% from a 52-week low set in early September.
The rally in FB stock might be written off as a broader sentiment rally, since many downtrodden tech stocks — including Research In Motion (NASDAQ:RIMM), Yahoo! (NASDAQ:YHOO) and Dell (NASDAQ:DELL) — have been on a tear lately.
However, I think some of FB's gains have staying power. Though Facebook stock might not necessarily be a screaming buy, it could be safe to say the worst is over.
Here's why:
Strong Performance at the Lockup: Facebook released 804 million shares in late November as its lockup on May IPO shares ended. However, unlike the crash we saw in August amid a lockup expiration flight, shares hung tough. In fact, they rallied by double digits. The fact that people aren't screaming for the exit anymore shows the initial negativity of the painful IPO might be fading.
Analyst Upgrades: Bernstein Research's Carlos Kirjner, previously a big bear on Facebook, recently did an about-face on the stock as negativity began to be priced in. He upgraded FB to "outperform" from "market perform" and hiked its price target to $33 from $24. Kirjner particularly likes Facebook's prospect for revenue growth from mobile ads and e-commerce efforts. Since Oct. 1, Facebook has seen a number of other positive ratings changes. Some are pretty unimpressive, including BTIG Research upgrading from "sell" to "neutral," Stifel Nicolaus upgrading from "hold" to "buy" with a $26 target, and Cantor Fitzgerald initiating "buy" with a $28 target. However, Kirjner is pretty bullish, as is Oppenheimer, which changed its rating in October to "outperform" with a $41 target.
New Revenue Streams: Some interesting developments lately have included a Gifts service for Facebook users, and the Facebook Exchange for advertisers to help them tailor ads. For instance, the Bits Blog over at The New York Times estimates $200 million to $315 million in revenue from Facebook Gifts — not a game-changer for a company with revenue tracking $5 billion in 2012, but no mean feat. Furthermore, it continues Facebook's information-mining efforts that ultimately could provide very lucrative data for corporations and advertisers.
Earnings Up: Sure, we don't have a big sample size here to go on. But Facebook earnings from October were good, for what it's worth. Adjusted EPS beat targets and revenue was up over 30% year-over-year. Most importantly, however, was a 14% revenue contribution from mobile — proving that, yes, FB can monetize users on tablets and smartphones. The company hauled in $1.7 million a day on mobile advertising last quarter. Facebook reported 28% higher daily active users of 584 million during September.
Clearly, this is not the whole story. Facebook faces challenges including hangover from the IPO negativity, struggles in mobile advertising that could persist and the constant fear of disruption or falling out of favor with consumers.
But there are a lot of positives, too. I'm not personally interested in buying right now … but for the first time, I can understand why someone with shares would hold.
And if the stock rolls back again, I might even understand why some people would make a speculative buy in this social media stock. After all, the brand remains huge with consumers and many businesses feel that a Facebook presence is a necessity in this day and age.
At the very least, they're reasons to think twice before you sell.

United Micro Kingdoms (UmK)
UmK presents perspectives on a fictional future for the UK. The exhibition sees England divided into four self-contained counties. These 'live laboratories' interrogate the cultural and ethical impact of existing and new technologies and how they alter the way we live.
The four micro kingdoms explored:
Digitarians depend on digital technology and all its implicit totalitarianism: tagging, metrics, total surveillance, tracking, data logging and 100% transparency. Their society is organised entirely by market forces; citizen and consumer are the same.
The Communo-nuclearist society is a no-growth, limited population experiment. Using nuclear power to deliver near limitless energy, the state provides everything needed for their continued survival. Although they are energy rich it comes at a price — no one wants to live near them. Under
constant threat of attack or accident, they live on a continually moving, 3 kilometre, nuclear-powered mobile landscape.
The Anarcho-evolutionists abandon most technologies, or at least stop developing them, and concentrate on using science to maximise their own physical capabilities through training, DIY biohacking and self-experimentation. They believe that humans should modify themselves to
exist within the limits of the planet rather than modifying the planet to meet their ever growing needs.
Bioliberals fully embrace biotechnology and the new values that this entails.Biology is at the centre of their world-view, leading to a radically different technological landscape to our own. Each person produces their own energy according to their needs. Bioliberals are essentially farmers, cooks
and gardeners. Not just of plants and food, but of products too. Gardens, kitchens and farms replace factories and workshop.

In the sci-fi movie Tron: Legacy, Flynn creates a virtual world with its own rules and physical laws, and as a side effect he discovers (or creates) a strange race of conscious creatures called ISOs.
Today, physics tells us that the Anthropic Principle doesn't hold: that the universe was not created to allow our existence, but we are a mere side-effect of the physical laws that govern our universe.
Is this the idea the authors of Tron wanted to convey?

JOLO, W.Va. (AP) - It is revival at the Church of the Lord Jesus, and the crowd of 60 people have come to the simple white-sided trailer aching to receive the spirit. A sign at the front of the unadorned church cautions against "back-biting" and "by-words," and reminds women to keep their hair, sleeves and dresses long.
As they file in, old men hug and kiss each other on the lips. Women grab tambourines from hooks on the wall.
Everett and Melia Blankenship arrive with their 3-month-old boy, Jordan, towing his oxygen tank. The boy was born three months early, and his parents are hoping for a blessing.
At the front of the church, on a low stage, sit seven wooden boxes with hinged lids that are half Plexiglas or screen. One lid is ventilated with air holes that form the words "Lord Jesus." Another bears the message, "A Believer is a Doer." Every so often, a low, sizzling sound rises from within.
It is 7:30 p.m. The mountains outside are cold as a crypt, but the church is warm with fellowship. Pastor Bob Elkins, a squat man with a face like actor Jason Robards' and a nose like a prizefighter's, takes the microphone.
"You that don't know the Lord," he says, "well, this'd be a good place to find him."
The service begins with a song, a rocking version of "I'll Fly Away." An older couple are on their feet, dancing before the pulpit with their eyes clamped shut. Tim McCoy - flamboyant in an azure silk shirt, matching vest and white pants - beats on a red tambourine.
Soon, people are weeping and staggering around as if in a trance. Elkins picks a line on his electric bass that shakes the floor and pounds right into the chest.
Ten minutes into the service, the first snakes come out.
Jeffrey Hagerman, a lanky man with a huge belt buckle bearing a cameo of Jesus in a crown of thorns, dances in place as two purple-brown copperheads coil around his fingers like living rings. Lydia Hollins, whose mother died of a snakebite in 1962, takes up a rattler as thick as a wrestler's forearm.
In the second row of pews, 3-year-old Tyler Evans dances around in circles, his arms raised above his head, his hands cupped as if holding something long and fat. He is imitating his father, Richard, who is stomping rhythmically, a copperhead in his hands.
McCoy shakes his tambourine so hard it breaks, scattering tinkling metal cymbals across the floor. People are speaking in tongues. The stomping is so furious it makes the lights flicker.
Dewey Chafin, soft-spoken by Holiness preaching standards, takes the microphone to testify. He has been bitten 125 times, and his gnarled fingers and scarred face bear witness to the fact.
"I've been pronounced dead, but God brought me back," said Chafin, who stuffed the snake that killed his sister Columbia, Mrs. Hollins' mother. "If you play with God, you don't play with them serpents there ... We're justified in it."
Each speaker reaffirms the faith.
"There's something or other that can move on you," Pastor Carl Porter said as he waves his drumsticks in the air, his face and bald spot turning purple.
"I looked that book over. I looked and I looked, thank God, from Genesis to Revelation and Revelation back to Genesis - upside down, crossways and every way I could think of to try to get out of this, and there ain't no way out of it. Thank God, it's so high you can't get over it."
An hour and 45 minutes into the service, Evans' wife, Missy, joins him at the front. While Tyler sits doodling with a yellow highlighter in the front pew, his mother pulls out a greenish-yellow timber rattler, 4 or 5 feet long.
She dances with the snake, then after a few minutes hands it to Hagerman, who lays it on the stage and walks over it in his stocking feet.
Mrs. Evans wanders the dance floor weeping, her eyes closed, her hand to her mouth. She looks like someone feeling her way through a room filled with tear gas.
No one is bitten this night. (Dewey Chafin received two bites a week later and is recovering.)
Tyler and his brother Nathan, 8, who has kept busy making paper airplanes, could have been instantly orphaned. But while the Evanses love their children, they love God more and obey what they see as His command.
"I don't worry about it when I'm up there," Mrs. Evans said as she holds Tyler in her lap after the service. "I feel the Lord takes care of me. The Lord takes care of everything."

Paramount revealed the first footage from their upcoming adaptation of Lee Child's "One Shot" in Vegas yesterday at the annual CinemaCon. More surprising though is that "One Shot" was never mentioned or seen as a title with some suggesting it'll likely be called a variation on the lead character (ie. "Reacher" or "Jack Reacher").
Christopher McQuarrie's film take on the ninth Jack Reacher book, shot in Pittsburgh last year, hopes to launch a potential franchise for the studio. However many have been wondering if its 5'7" star Tom Cruise can pull off a character famous for being 6'5" tall. Three scenes were screened though, including a bar brawl and a high-speed car chase, and the reaction online so far has been quite strong.
Sacha Baron Cohen also turned up in character from his upcoming comedy "The Dictator" and took shots at Jeffrey Katzenberg and "John Carter".

I browsed through the archives, and it seems like there's no live CD from which to run a good, up-to-date anti-virus application, at least to check whether a Windows host has been compromised
- The Ultimate Boot CD has only three AV applications, and their virus definition is from... 2007
- In a report, ClamAV scored very low. It's nice that it's open-source, but if it's not as good as commercial alternatives...
Those of you into this kind of thing, do you confirm that there's just no good live CD to inspect Windows hosts, and possibly repair them? If there is, what do you recommend?
Thank you.

DOWNLOADS REMOVED Legend of Zelda Orchestra CD
Thursday, December 29, 2011 JTA777 No comments
Earlier this year, The Legend of Zelda - Skyward Sword was released, and Nintendo was generous enough to include a CD with it that had 8 tracks, all are orchestrated. Well, I finally got my hands on one of them, and I have them ready to download. Maybe you didn't get the game yet, or maybe you don't want the game, or maybe you don't know how to use a CD...whatever the reason you maynot already have the tracks, I don't care, but if you do want them...
So download those and enjoy. All of them came directly from the CD and are compressed in a .Zip folder as of now. I guess you could consider this as a late Christmas present from me or something...I dunno. I hope you enjoy them! ~JTA
Thank You Nintendo
Wednesday, December 28, 2011 JTA777 No comments
This has been one of the best years for the fans of Nintendo, and I felt like writing this post just to Thank Nintendo. So let's see, what has happened this year?
1. The Nintendo 3DS
A new handheld introduced by Nintendo lead to many things, such as...
- A new way to experience gaming
- Many new games (and old remakes)
- Ambassador Games
- Free stuff
- Things to wait for.
2. Free Stuff
If you were one of the many who bought the 3DS before that huge price drop, then by now you already have 20 free games. Not only that, but Nintendo also released [3D classics] Excitebike, Pokedex, Nintendo Video, Legend of Zelda 4 Swords, Swapnote, Video Trailers, and plenty of other things for everyone.
3. New Games & Old Remakes
While the beginning of the year wasn't so great, Nintendo ended the year with a BANG. With the releases of Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, The Legend of Zelda - Skyward Sword, Kirby Return to Dreamland, Cave Story 3D, Star Fox 64 3D, and plenty of others. Nintendo also had a few good releases earlier this year such as Super Street Fighter 3D Edition, The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time 3D, and a few others.
4. Things to Wait For
Nintendo proved to their fans that they will never run dry, mainly at E3 when they gave us deeper looks into games such as Paper Mario 3DS, Kid Icarus, Tekken Prime Edition, the Wii U, and many other games (that I can't list due to my horrible memory). They're making these games too fast...
So thank you Nintendo, thank you for this year, I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next year! ~JTA
For all the Smash Bros Fans
Saturday, December 17, 2011 JTA777 1 comment
Super Smash Bros Brawl was released over 3 years ago, and let's face it, the next Smash Bros Game won't be released for at least another year or 2. (At E3 2011 it WAS announced but they haven't even started it yet). A while ago we did post some Smash Bros 4 Rumors, if that would be interesting for you, but if you really want a treat, then read on...
Some dude (from McLeodGaming) decided to make a Flash game for Smash Bros, also known as Super Smash Flash. Although it is a flash game, it is way more amazing than I thought it would be. Although you only start out with 10 characters doesn't automatically mean that you can't unlock more... That's right, the guy actually coded the game made is so much like the real Smash Bros games that you can unlock things, use items, change stages, and a lot more. It's actually pretty incredible. It's even avalible for Mac users. I'm pretty sure that the controls are customizable, and he even added new characters, my favorite is MegaMan.
Not sure if you want it yet? Click the view full post button below, you can play it directly from my site! If you want the full version, (which only takes a few seconds to download), click here (if you're on a Mac, click here), or go to the downloads page on McLeodGaming for more updates if you saw this post too late. Check out more of McLeodGaming games and other stuff by clicking here. Anyways, that's all I have to post for you today, I hope that you guys enjoy this, and please tell me what you think. And click "view full post" below to play the online demo.

The other day I was messing around on youtube, and on one of my buddy's favorited lists was this video. In this video, it shows all of the Nintendo Consoles transform from one to another in 30 seconds. I was pretty amazed when I first saw it, and I thought it'd make a fairly good post to show you guys. Here it is:

GBA Ambassador Games Announced
Wednesday, December 14, 2011 JTA777 No comments
It's about time Nintendo tells us what we're getting for being ambassadors... Here's the list:
- F-Zero: Maximum Velocity
- Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island
- Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap
- Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
- Kirby & The Amazing Mirror
- Mario Kart: Super Circuit
- Mario vs. Donkey Kong
- Metroid Fusion
- Wario Land 4
- WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames
They should be here on December 16th for the reseidents of Japan and Europe. Nothing has been said about America yet, but it's safe to assume that they will also come on the 16th.
We Are Rockmen!
Monday, December 12, 2011 JTA777 No comments
In my opinion, music is one of the best things in this world... Well, Capcom had their team basically remix a few of the popular Megaman songs (from a wide variety of games), and turn it into an Album they call "We Are Rock Men!" Here's my personal favorite:
Circle Pad Pro gives player 480 hours of gameplay?!
Sunday, December 11, 2011 JTA777 No comments
So you know that new thing that Nintendo is coming out with, that gives the player a second circle pad to play with on the 3DS? Well, Nintendo was smart, and added a batery pack on it. It does require a AAA battery to run, but those things are cheap, and just one of them power 480 hours of gameplay? It almost sounds too good to be true. It hits stores in Europe on January 27th, but I have no idea when its coming to the America's region. I'm pretty sure it only costs around $20 dollars. This thing sound pretty awesome, too bad it's not coming out for the holidays...
Cave Story Remix'd Soundtrack!! (Free download)
Saturday, December 10, 2011 JTA777 No comments
So this soundtrack has been out for quite some time (way before Cave Story 3DS was released), and downloaded it, and to my surprise, it was pretty awesome. Well, I had totally forgotten about it until last night, and I haven't had a very good post on the blog in quite some time, so I figured you guys would like this. The download comes with 29 songs by a bunch of pretty awesome DJ's, and the download is in .zip format. If you're interested, just click here, or head over to the downloads page. But thats all for today, until then... ~JTA
Bill S.978...The End? & Other news
Monday, December 05, 2011 JTA777 2 comments
For residents of the United States Only
Back in May 2011, a group of morons proposed a Bill that prohibited the posting of copyrighted Material on the internet (just another reason to hate the government). This bill basically prohibits the posting/publishing of copyrighted material on the internet (like I just said). So, what does that mean for us? Well, it basically means that this site, along with just about every other website, youtube (or any other) video, forum, image, and all that stuff that has to do with gaming, movies, books, characters, or anything esle copyrighted will be taken down one by one. So, in a way, it could mean the end of this site and so many other things. This Bill seems to controdict our right to freedom of speech. Right now, Nintendo could take this site down if they wanted because, well, I'm talking about there stuff, but this Bill would take the site down without the permission of me or Nintendo.
This Bill would be awful, and affect many people outside of the United States as well... This Bill probably won't be passed, but if it is... we're screwed. I don't know if we are allowed to vote on this or not, but we are, and you're over the age of 18, PLEASE vote against it!! Thank you. If this Bill does happen to come true, then you will know, and this wont be the only site that goes down...
On a seperate note, this site is starting to feel kind of like a job (which is a bad thing), and I don't really always want to be working on the site and stuff, so posts won't be updated near as much, but if you do have something cool that you think I could talk about, just send me a link or something. I'm not leaving the site, just not gonna be as active. If you want to join the site (help write posts), please contact me, or ask in the comments, and I'll consider it! But thats all for today, until then...

Asian M&A to Hit One Third of Global Share Within Next Decade – Citigroup
Even as Asian initial public offerings have slumped this year, and especially in once-top venue Hong Kong, the region's mergers and acquisition activity is rising, and has offset the rest of the world.
That should continue, says Farhan Faruqui Citigroup Asia head of corporate and investment banking, predicting that Asian M&A, outside Japan, should rise to a third of global deal activity within the next decade. At the moment, it makes up 18.8%, according to Dealogic.
"Asia's growing breeds of global champions have the financial ability, strong management and the willingness to buy," said Mr. Faruqui. "There is increasing confidence – liquidity and capital is available to support transactions that need financing."
Mr. Faruqui said there should be major M&A transactions from China and the Southeast Asian region, as well.
Asia Pacific M&A activity excluding Japan stands at $350.1 billion for the first nine months of the year, down 16% from the previous year, according to Dealogic. However, Chinese outbound and Southeast Asia-focused transactions have both hit record levels this year, driven by Cnooc Ltd.'s $15 billion bid for Canadian oil producer Nexen Inc., and Thai Beverage Ltd. and TCC Assets' $7.2 billion offer for the shares of Singapore conglomerate Fraser & Neave Ltd. it doesn't already own.
"We sense from the conversations we are having with clients now that the next 12 to 18 months will be a period of renewed outbound M&A from Asia," said Mr. Faruqui.
Capital is also flowing in the opposite direction. One example is Heineken NV's $7 billion move to buy Asia Pacific Breweries Ltd., maker of Tiger beer, the 10th largest announced M&A deal this year, according to Dealogic. Another, expected to be announced soon, is ING Groep NV's sale of its Asian insurance business, which has a book value of about $7.9 billion. A host of global insurance and private-equity firms have expressed interest in the various parts of ING's Asian business, as it offers a rare chance to buy insurance assets in a fast-growing region rather than slowly growing a business organically.
"The trend of global or international companies taking stakes or forming joint ventures with Asian companies will continue. The growth prospects in this region and rising consumer affluence are a big draw for multinationals with lower growth prospects in some of their local markets," said Mr. Faruqui.
Citigroup has made strides in M&A advisory in the region this year, jumping to second place in terms of the value of deals advised in Asia excluding Japan at the end of the third quarter, according to Dealogic data, behind Goldman Sachs. This time last year it ranked eighth. It has been particularly strong in advising Chinese companies buying overseas assets, or China outbound deals, where it ranks second, also behind Goldman Sachs, up from 18th year-on-year.
Citigroup advised Cnooc on its bid for Nexen, and is also advising a consortium which includes Carlyle Group that is proposing to take U.S.-listed Chinese advertising firm Focus Media Holding Ltd. private for $3.66 billion. It is also advising Shanghai-based private-equity firm Cathay Fortune Corp. on its 830 million Australian dollar (US$852 million) offer for Australia's Discovery Metals, announced Thursday. In May, it advised Dalian Wanda Group, a Chinese conglomerate, on its acquisition of cinema chain AMC Entertainment Holdings in the U.S., the largest outbound Chinese deal by a private company on record.
However, Mr. Faruqui said that the "real turning point" for the investment-banking sector in Asia would come when initial public offerings, which have been relatively quiet this year in Asia save for Malaysia, start to come back. Mr. Faruqui said equity deals also need to see a healthy and wide distribution to investors.
"What we're seeing now is a window for equity deals opening, but [IPOs] aren't back yet," he added.

And I would like to especially thank these guys for taking the time to give me their thoughts when I was going through my predicament! It meant a lot. ;D
Because of that, I was able to realize that I don't have to pick between art and cosplay.
I can also be more proud in knowing that many of you enjoy both just as much and it gives me a lot of encouragement. (:
Even for the people I didn't mention and are watching me on here, I also want to thank you for putting up with me!!
You guys are just awesome butts and making me go cheesy on you. xD That's how happy I've been!
But anyway, I realized I never replied to the comments for my latest deviation, "Four Eleven," (ry0uki.deviantart.com/art/Four… ) and I just wanna say i'M SORRY FOR THAT LOL. It's kinda late to reply to them, but I'm grateful for the awesome feedback despite now that you know my secret lolol.
Ahem. Another thing is that I'm on break now! GO ME.
I might have to catch up sleep first though. I'm sorry. I haven't had normal sleep in awhile lol.
But I've been slowly getting back into drawing traditionally. I even drew in 's sketchbook the night before and even I'm proud of it despite my lack of practice. xD But I'll leave it up to Tamo to upload it since I was just helping out in filling pages haha..
Lastly, I'll keep saying this but I am mostly active on Tumblr so feel free to bug me on there any time!
And now I'm going to go pass out since it's really hot and I'm exhausted so hope you guys are doing great! Until next time whenever that may be~ lol.

Summer is around the corner and so are poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac waiting in lush fields and green spaces where your kids love to play. These green plants contain oils that will cause itchy, blistering rash in most people (about 85 percent) if it touches skin. The oil can spread to other areas of the body or from person to person if not treated or washed off correctly. Fortunately, the American Academy of Dermatology and board-certified dermatologist Seemal R. Desai, MD, FAAD, offer these simple steps to safely treat the rash at home.
Poison Ivy Rash
1. Immediately rinse your skin with lukewarm, soapy water. If you can rinse your skin immediately after touching poison ivy, poison oak, or poison sumac, you may be able to rinse off some of the oil. This helps ensure that the oil does not spread to other areas of the body and cause additional rashes.
2. Wash your clothing. Thoroughly wash all of the clothes you were wearing when you came into contact with the poisonous plant. The oil can stick to clothing, and if it touches your skin, it can cause another rash.
3. Wash everything that may have the oil on its surface. Besides clothing, the oil from poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac can stick to many surfaces, including gardening tools, golf clubs, leashes and even a pet's fur. Be sure to rinse your pet's fur, and wash tools and other objects with warm, soapy water.
4. Do not scratch, as scratching can cause an infection.
5. Leave blisters alone. If blisters open, do not remove the overlying skin, as the skin can protect the raw wound underneath and prevent infection.
6. Take short, lukewarm baths. To ease the itch, take short, lukewarm baths in a colloidal oatmeal preparation, which you can buy at your local drugstore. You can also draw a bath and add one cup of baking soda to the running water. Taking short, cool showers may also help.
7. Consider calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream. Apply calamine lotion to skin that itches. If you have a mild case, a hydrocortisone cream or lotion may also help.
8. Apply cool compresses to the itchy skin. You can make a cool compress by wetting a clean washcloth with cold water and wringing it out so that it does not drip. Then, apply the cool cloth to the itchy skin.
9. Consider taking antihistamine pills. These pills can help reduce itching, however use with caution. You should not apply a topical antihistamine to your skin, as doing so can worsen the rash and the itch.
According to Dr. Desai, "A rash from poison ivy, oak or sumac usually lasts one to three weeks. If your rash is not improving after seven to 10 days, or you think your rash may be infected, see a board-certified dermatologist for treatment."
For more information and helpful tips watch this video from American Academy of Dermatology: "Poison Ivy: How to Treat".
To identify each plant see the pictures and descriptions below.
Poison Ivy
This plant grows as a vine (pictured) in some areas of the United States. In other areas, it is a shrub. Poison ivy is found everywhere in the US and southern Canada except the far west, deserts and at high altitude. It loves roadsides and edges of fields so keep a look out in those areas. The leaf color range from light green (usually the younger leaves) to dark green (mature leaves), turning bright red in fall.
Poison Oak
Like poison ivy, this plant grows as a vine (pictured) in some areas of the United States. In other regions, it grows as a shrub. As with poison ivy, it's commonly found around roadsides and on the edge of fields. The plant found on the Southwestern area of the US leaves are split into three hairy leaflets and white berries. In the U.S. Pacific coast is a shrubby or sometimes climbing plant that grows to 2.4 m (8 ft) high; its three-leaflet leaves are toothed or lobed and are hairless.
Poison Sumac
Poison sumac is a shrub or small tree, growing up to nearly 30 feet in height. This plant has 7 to 13 leaflets on each leaf that can grow in standing water as a tall shrub or small tree. Its flowers are greenish, growing in loose clusters about 3–8 inches long. The fruits are not quite spherical, gray, flattened, and about 0.2 inches across. This plant is commonly found in northeast and southeast US.

The aquatic world comes alive at SeaWorld Orlando, just 15 minutes away from the Orlando International Airport. There's fun for almost every age --- from toddler to teenager.
For nearly five decades, SeaWorld has surprised and amazed guest with unique entertainment, thrilling rides and up-close encounters with marine animals.
1. Take the Atlantis ride, a water-type coaster. Journey to Atlantis is an edge-of-your-seat watercoaster, part water ride, part roller coaster. This thrill ride plunges guests into the middle of a clash for the lost city of Atlantis. Riders encounter spine-tingling thrills, including two of the steepest, wettest and fastest drops to be found at any theme park in the world.
2. Visit the dolphins in their environment. Dolphin Cover showcases one of the largest interactive dolphin pools in the world. Check daily listings for feeding times. When trainers warn visitors about getting wet, heed their warning. It will happen when frisky and friendly dolphins wag their tails onto the water to spray guests.
3. Schedule a time to watch One Ocean, a show designated to showcase whales. Sit in the splash zone. Make sure your camera is water proof and put away your camera phones. The crowds shout their oooohhs and aaahs throughout the show when the whales make a jump. Crowd participants are waiting to get wet as some wear plastic rain gear or others sit far away from the bottom of the seats (also known as splash zone). Dancing fountains, skilled trainers and global rhythms complete the show, highlighting the killer whales.

Tip #1: Bring an extra set of clothes in a water-proof plastic bag. Wear your bathing suit underneath your summer clothes.
Tip #2: Pack a waterproof camera so you can take photographs and not worry about expensive equipment.
Tip #3: Sunblock lotion will help with sun burns, especially during the spring and summer months.

Forecast discussion: We had partly to mostly sunny skies over Providence for most of Monday. However, thanks to the sunshine, this helped create pockets of showers and isolated periods of heavy rain. In fact, Pawtucket received heavy showers around 4 p.m. before we returned to sunny skies. As the sun sets, we will lose the risk for more shower activity, but the temperature being close to the dewpoint will create patchy fog this evening.
As we move through the middle of the week, a cold front now passing over Buffalo, NY will make its way into Southern New England by Tuesday night. This front may help trigger some isolated showers or thunderstorms during the afternoon, especially in the northern sections of the state. The best chance for isolated to scattered precipitation will be Wednesday, as the front lingers right over Rhode Island and eastern Massachusetts.
The front will be slower than forecast to move offshore. So, I have to add the risk of some an afternoon shower or thunderstorm for Thursday. By then, a strong high pressure system now over Ontario, Canada will move over the Great Lakes by Thursday afternoon. This high will then slowly move into the Mid-Atlantic, giving us sunny weather for the entire weekend. Winds will eventually come back from the southwest, and this will help raise our high temperatures into the lower 80's for Saturday and Sunday. But, the weather pattern shows no hot spells arriving in Southern New England for the next seven days.
Meanwhile, this is the first time in 22 years that the first named tropical systems reached hurricane status. Hurricane Bertha was centered at 29.4N 76.3W, or about 560 miles west-southwest of Bermuda, as of 5 p.m. EDT. It is just a minimum hurricane with maximum sustained winds at 75 mph, and is moving north at 18 mph.
The forecast is for Bertha to become a Tropical Storm within 36 hours, as it begins to move into cooler waters. It will become an extratropical system within 72 hours. The track has the system moving towards the northeast and away from the east coast. However, Southern New England will begin to see rising seas outside of Narragansett Bay by Wednesday night, along with an increased chance for moderate rip currents at the beaches.
72 hour forecast:
Tonight: Scattered showers until 10 p.m. Then, we will remain mostly cloudy with patchy to dense fog. We will see a low of 66.
Tuesday: Mostly sunny with the chance for some late afternoon showers/thunderstorms. We will see a high of 85 with south-southwest winds of 9-12 mph.
McCoy Stadium Forecast (12:05 p.m. vs. Columbus): Mostly sunny, possible mid-afternoon shower/thunderstorm, 82.
Tuesday night: Mostly cloudy with possible showers and a low of 67. Winds will shift to the west-northwest at 5-8 mph.
Wednesday: Partly sunny with the chance for showers/thunderstorms, starting in the late morning. We will have a high of 82.
Wednesday night: Showers end during the early morning. We will see a low of 62.
Thursday: Partly to mostly sunny with an isolated afternoon shower or thunderstorm. We will see a high of 79.
Thursday night: Partly cloudy with a low of 63.
Extended Forecast:
Friday: Mostly sunny. Highs 78-81, lows 61-64.
Saturday: Mostly sunny. Highs 80-83, lows 62-65.
Sunday: Mostly sunny. Highs 81-84, lows 63-66.
Monday: Mostly sunny. Highs 81-84, lows 63-66.

The Red Wings and the Penguins meet in a crucial Game Four tonight and it looks like Detroit might have reinforcements.
Kris Draper will rejoin the Wings' lineup for the first time since May 22, Game Three of the Western Conference Final series against the Chicago Blackhawks. He was a healthy scratch in Games Two and Three of the Stanley Cup Finals as coach Mike Babcock was hesitant to change a winning lineup.
Pavel Datsyuk could return to the ice for the first time since May 19, Game Two of the series with Chicago. Datsyuk completed a full practice with the team on Wednesday but then skated for an extended period in the Thursday morning skate, longer than usual for a gameday. He is considered a game-time decision.
Draper will replace Justin Abdelkader in the lineup. Should Datsyuk return he will replace Ville Leino.
A Detroit win tonight would put them up 3-1 in the series, giving them three tries to get one more win. Should the Penguins win, the Red Wings will have to head back to Detroit for Game Five having lost the 2-0 series lead they had when they came to Pittsburgh.
To answer my own question, game 6 will be Tuesday, and then, if needed, game 7 will be Friday (6/12).
I watched the game on CBC (one of the reasons I'll probably NEVER leave se Michigan), and in the first period (I think) when the Wings were on a PP and one of the Penguins hit Lidstrom despite the fact that he had not TOUCHED the puck, the announcers questioned why that penalty was not called, and answering their own question, they commented that it's a tough call to put a team on a 5 on 3 in the Finals. I nearly lost it, there...glad I wasn't out in public! How many 5-on-3s did we see last year in the Finals? Does my memory serve?
Welcome home, Wings! Get a good night's sleep, some good chow, and visualize the perfect game. Then, FANS, let's show some spirit!

(HealthNewsDigest.com) - WASHINGTON, July 8, 2014 -- State spending on prisoner health care increased from fiscal years 2007 to 2011, but it is trending downward from its peak in 2009, according to a new report from the State Health Care Spending Project, an initiative of The Pew Charitable Trusts and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. The report, State Prison Health Care Spending: An Examination, analyzes four key factors driving prison health care costs and outlines strategies states are using to manage costs while preserving health care quality for incarcerated offenders.

To get to the rationale of the murderer's pattern, the policeman probes the background of everyone present, and rattles a lot of skeletons.

Joanna Krupa is laughing off reports that she is facing foreclosure on her home in Encino for failing to pay $725,000 in mortgage payments. On Friday, Feb. 28, TMZ reported that the bank has filed foreclosure documents and intends to put the house, which was sold in 2004 for $670,000, up for auction.
Joanna is denying at least that she even lives in Encino.
"Oh How I love the stories :) Everyone thinks they know my life . For those asking I live in Miami and Hollywood Hills. #Oscars2014," Joanna tweeted right after the story came out.
The Hollywood Hills house is the one that viewers saw on one episode of "The Real Housewives of Miami" when Joanna went to Los Angeles with co-stars Lisa Hochstein and Lea Black.
Since more money is owed on the house than what it's worth, perhaps Joanna has decided to just let the bank take it rather than holding on to something that turned out to be a bad investment?
Joanna Krupa's co-star Alexia Echevarria confirmed in February that "The Real Housewives of Miami" is returning for a fourth season. At least Joanna can continue to have fun and fight with the ladies of Miami if she does need to recoup lost money from the Encino house!

To Alaska in a '38 Dodge
James Goes for a Drive
Last week on Car Talk, we heard from James in New Iberia, Louisiana. Okay, to be a bit more accurate, we heard from James some time ago, since last week was, in fact, an encore edition of Car Talk. (Translation: a lousy repeat, since Tom and Ray insisted on a summer vacation.)
James was planning a road trip from Louisiana all the way up to Alaska - and back. In a car that's 70 years old - a '38 Dodge Coupe. No kidding.
We wondered what happened to James. Did he make it out of the Bayou? Was he passing through the digestive systems of wolves, somewhere north of the Arctic Circle?
Well, it turns out he had a wonderful trip! And here's his story.

James' Story
It was an exceedingly stupid thing to do. A barely restored, 1938 Dodge Business Coupe, whose previous duty had mostly been limited to walking distance drives, has no business going to the southernmost and northernmost points in the US, especially when driven by someone with as questionably mechanical skills as myself.
When a newly licensed girl in her mom's monstrous Mitsubishi SUV rear-ended me just after I picked up a rebuilt vacuum wiper motor, the last part I needed, maybe it was forgivable to mark it down as an inauspicious but insignificant event. However, I should have paid a little more attentions to the signs when, just as I pulled into the driveway after picking it up from the body shop, the electrical system under the dashboard caught fire. And not a small fire.
Miraculously, I was spared from major catastrophe for the first portion of the trip. The worst that happened was when Cassandra, my beagle puppy, managed to eat some fermenting raccoon feces and inconsiderately waited until she was back in the car before puking it up. The smell is almost completely gone by now. Unfortunately, two days after calling Car Talk, when driving from Louisiana to Houston, I heard something break in the engine, followed by a deep, metallic clacking sound. The technical term, or at least what I was told, is that the engine, possible exhausted from it's prior life as a cement mixture, was tired. Euthanasia was in order, but being a stubborn sort of fellow, I found through the car clubs an older gentlemen with a rebuilt engine and, three weeks later, I was on my way.
After that, the car broke every 250 miles like clockwork, including, but not limited to: a cracked exhaust manifold, blown manifold gasket (two times), another electric fire (but this time, tiny), dangerously loosened leaf springs, faulty brakes, a broken actuating arm on the fuel pump, a burn coil (I replaced/rebuilt both the oil pump and the distributor before I realized this), and a bad generator bushing (also two times, including once in the Yukon Territories a good 500 miles from the nearest replacement bushing when deadline that did not allow to wait until next week for a replacement to come on the Greyhound), overheating no less than two dozen times going up Mount Washington, and a transmission that managed to reach my garage in late August 2008, but no further. In other words, I made it.
Somehow, the car behaved for the 1000 unserviced, mostly unpaved miles from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay and back, and a combination of prayer and a $650 insurance tow got me out of the second bushing snafu. I've started to forget much of the cursing, the torn fingernails, and bloody, oily knuckles, remembering instead 20 cent oysters in Apalachicola, Florida, watching the Goonies at a jury-rigged screen of some new friends at a state campground California, pretty much everything about New Orleans, the primordial Liard hot springs along the Alacan Highway, a dirt track race in Show Low, Arizona, brisket at Kreuz's in Texas, shockingly good chicken feet dim sum in Minneapolis, taking the trip bilingual in Montreal, sharing a growler of stout with my dad while driving to Haines Junction, Canada on the prettiest road I ever hope to see, swimming in the Arctic Ocean, and countless people who took pity on a poor, silly stranger and helped him on his way.
I especially have to thank my supportive parents and my friend David Zimmerman, who was always a phone call away for mechanical help.

Halloween Food For Your Eyes, Lungs, Joints?
While jack-'o-lanterns light the trail of trick-or-treating, regular consumption of pumpkin could help you see better in the dark. One cup (116g) of raw pumpkin contains over 170% of the Daily Value of vitamin A – a powerful nutrient needed for night vision – plus other eye-related carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin.
The alimentary abundance of the orange orb doesn't stop there. It offers one of the best sources of beta-cryptoxanthin, vitamin A a carotenoid linked to lower lung and prostate cancer risk, as well as improved joint health. In fact, a recent British study found that people with the highest intake of beta-cryptoxanthin had half the risk of developing polyarthritis (inflammation that affects at least two or more joint groups) compared to those with lower consumption levels.
Pumpkin also provides a good source of potassium (to help regulate blood pressure) and vitamin C (to help promote collagen formation) – all for only 30 calories per cup of raw. Haven't got the patience to gut that gourd? Pop a tin of canned pumpkin – one half cup of which provides nearly 400% of your daily vitamin A needs, plus a quarter of your daily vitamin K needs, for just 42 calories!
If these health benefits aren't motivation enough to put pumpkin on your menu, how about getting in the "food for love?" As discussed in a previous DNN, researchers at the Chicago-based Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation exposed male subjects to a variety of different aromas – among which the scent of pumpkin pie turned out to turn men on.
So, try our featured recipe, Pumpkin Pineapple Mousse Pie, to improve your health – and spice up your love life.

Seeing your doctor for recommended screenings is important to your long-term health. Make sure that you — or the man you love — is up to date on screenings and aware of potential cancers.
Wearing sunscreen isn't just for a day at the beach or ballpark. Use a sunscreen with a SPF of at least 30 on a daily basis. If you notice an irritated or irregular skin growth, make sure to see your doctor.
Screening for prostate cancer has been the source of a vigorous debate. Until recently, it was generally recommended that men age 40 and above have a routine blood test called a prostate-specific antigen or PSA to find out if they have prostate cancer. Within the last year, however, a federal task force found insufficient evidence to recommend routine prostate screenings. With the continuing debate, it's important to discuss your options with your doctor and determine your individual plan for prostate health.
Regular exams
Visiting your doctor on a regular basis can help you prevent disease and maintain good health. Many serious conditions — such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and even diabetes — may not show signs or symptoms. Simple tests ordered by your doctor can reveal these conditions and give you the opportunity to take action to reduce your risk of disease. Find a doctor who can review your health status over time and help you develop plans to improve your health.
Beginning at age 50 (or earlier based on certain risk factors), men should begin to follow a testing schedule to detect polyps (small growths that can become cancerous) and cancer. Screening options include colonoscopy, which allows doctors to view both upper and lower sections of the colon. Sigmoidoscopy screens the lower part of the colon and is often combined with a fecal test. Work with your doctor to identify the screening schedule that's best for you.
Promising new methods to screen for lung cancer are in development. It's important that you talk with your doctor if you have a history of smoking, and if you still smoke, that you take steps to quit. Lung cancer is the number one cause of cancer deaths and cigarette smoking is the primary risk factor for the disease.

Michael Griffith is fifth in the Super Region I rankings and the Mercyhurst sophomore lived up to the billing this past weekend.
The Medina graduate notched one of the biggest wins of his young college career as the 149-pounder defeated Pitt-Johnstown's Jack Bachman, ranked third in the region, in a marathon match.
It wasn't quite enough, as the No. 13 Lakers fell short against their No. 5 opponent, 20-13.
After rallying to tie the bout at 4 after three periods, the 5-foot-9 Griffith finally edged Bachman in the second overtime when he earned a takedown and three-point near fall to win 10-5.
Griffith is currently 18-6 on the season after winning just 17 matches as a freshman.
Men's basketball
Wheaton junior guard Tyler Peters (Medina) was named CCIW Player of the Week. The local product led the No. 20 Thunder to a pair of wins, averaging 24 points and shooting .607 from the floor. For the season, Peters is averaging a league-best 19.4 points and is second in assists (4.9).
Junior guard Kevin Krakowiak (Liverpool Twp. resident/Holy Name) buried a jumper as time expired to lift Baldwin Wallace to a 60-58 win over Mount Union.
Later in the week, Krakowiak had 16 and teammate Kyle Payne (Brunswick) added 16 of his own, along with a career-high-tying 13 rebounds as the Yellow Jackets edged Wilmington 70-62. The win gave BW its 13th triumph in its last 14 contests.
Chris Zurowski (Medina) had eight points, six rebounds and four blocks, but it wasn't enough as Hiram fell to Kenyon. Alan Sheppard (Wadsworth) poured in 16 to lead the Terriers in scoring after dumping in 10 and dishing out five assists earlier in the week in a loss to Denison.
Center Pat Forsythe (Brunswick) netted eight points and had a pair of blocks as Akron beat Bowling Green 68-55. The Zips have the nation's longest winning streak, 13, after a Saturday win over Ohio U. Forsythe had four points and four boards against the Bobcats.
Women's basketball
Thanks to a stat-stuffing night from Dev King (Medina), No. 12 Georgetown College hung on to beat Cumberlands 85-78. King scored 21 points, along with ripping down eight rebounds and picking up three steals.
Old Dominion's Jackie Cook (Hinckley Twp. resident/Regina) recorded her 15th double-digit scoring output of the season with 13 points, along with picking up seven rebounds and two steals in a win over UNC Wilmington. Earlier in the week she had 14 points and seven boards in a victory over Drexel.
Brooke Forsythe (Cloverleaf) scored 18 points, had six rebounds and swatted five shots as Cumberlands fell to St. Catharine 74-67.
