Could WWDC 2008 see launch of dedicated Apple handheld gaming console?
Forget all those 3G iPhone rumors. Apple's known to never announce something that's lame in itself anyway. There's always something in Apple announcements, keynotes, and launches that adds something new. And if the only thing the iPhone is getting by June this year (or September, at the very latest) is 3G network support, then that would ruin Apple's track record of innovation. Don't you think something else is more important than that the iPhone is finally going to become 3G-enabled?
WWDC, after all, is an event for developers. "DC" at the end of it doesn't mean "Developers Conference" for nothing. And taking that into consideration, it's unlikely that an announcement of 3G network support would get punters, and especially the developers themselves, as excited as if Apple had announced the launching of a new handheld gaming console instead.
If you've ever held hands on a jailbroken iPhone or iPod Touch, you'll know what I'm talking about. The multi-touch UI set up on the iPhone or iPod Touch seems like the perfect input and manipulation system for games. Except maybe for the lack of tactile feedback with each key press and the glare produced by the shiny, glass screen, multi-touch could possibly be the next best thing in gaming.
And as shown by Nintendo's popular DS (dual-screen) gaming console, there is huge potential to be had from games applying the physics of multi-touch.
In any case, the possibility that Apple might announce the launch of a new handheld gaming system in the next-gen iPhone or iPod Touch (iPlay?) would fall pretty nicely into all the fuss that's been happening lately. Other than getting developers to start on their engines, this would also mark Apple's foray into the handheld gaming console market, which Sony and Nintendo currently rule. iPlay or not, it's a logical next step, given the power of Mobile OS X as showcased on Apple's last keynote where sample games were demoed.
We'll be keeping an eye out for this and come back with more answers, or questions, to ponder upon. But for now, I say aye to a dedicated Apple handheld gaming console.

We caught the grand opening of Trust, a 6,000 square foot, retro-hip restaurant in the seemingly unlikely neighborhood of 13th and Sansom. If you're into the restaurant scene then you've heard of Goldman Properties, the company that injected Miami with a pure shot of adrenaline and cool. Guillermo Pernot, Esquire Magazine's "1999 Chef of the Year," is at the helm as Executive Chef. Principal designer and General Manager is Gary Farmer, creator and owner of Miami's famed restaurant institution, The Strand. Watch this area in Philadelphia – it's going to explode in a similar fashion.
The eight annual Hair of the Dog Gala rocked Philadelphia Saturday, January 5th down by the airport at the Philadelphia Naval Yard's Cruise Terminal. Over 2,000 people partied all night in the huge building to10 bands, their thirst sated at the 22 open bars that were, indeed, open all night. Chorus Communications organized and threw the bash to help raise money for the homeless through the Bethesda Project, and also to benefit the World Trade Center fund. The last song of the night was The Star Spangled Banner, and despite the wild goings on, everyone sang along, many with their hands on their hearts.
To kick off Black History Month The African American Museum in Philadelphia held a gala reception in artistic style, Thursday, January 31. The event, hosted by the Multicultural Affairs Congress, begins a two-day celebration of Black fine arts, featuring the Hennessey commissioned works of renowned artist, Leroy Campbell. Leroy Campbell is recognized for his depiction of early 1900's rural southern life and smoky '40s and '50s jazz club performances with his Neck Bones and Jazz Classics series.
La Grande Dame of the Social Calendar, the Academy of Music Ball, arrived in style, as usual, on Saturday, January 26th. Some guests made the whirlwind rounds of private pre-party cocktail receptions, while others gathered in the opulent rotunda bar at the Ritz-Carlton to meet up with friends also attending, and to indulge in a glass of two of the lady Veuve before heading over to the concert at the Academy. Once all were seated (the house was packed, not only with Philadelphia notables, but people from all over the country), we were treated to an absolutely splendid concert by the always impressive orchestra. Renowned violinist Joshua Bell performed to the delight of all. Later, we spotted him after the formal dinner at the Hyatt Bellevue, dancing up a storm, twirling his bow tie (and managing to swing it on tempo too). The glamorous flock hopped from one dance floor to another and sipped champagne and wine in all the different rooms. By 1 am, when the bulk of the party had departed, late night revelers, determined to make the night last, clustered in the smoky library or headed upstairs to one or all of several post-parties, some with bouquets of the huge white lilies that had adorned the dinner tables.
Save Homeless Animals Group (S.H.A.G.) threw a fundraising bash for area animal lovers in January at the Rittenhouse Sheraton. SHAG supports pet adoption by raising money for local animal shelters and rescue groups.SHAG is an all-volunteer group that works year round to aid our furry friends in need. If you'd like to lend a helping hand too, visit their website at www.phillyshag.com.

"We have watched (our child) flourish in the environment provided at CACC Montessori."
The Montessori Advantage
Creativity flourishes in an atmosphere of acceptance and trust. Montessorians recognize that each child, from toddler to teenager, learns and expresses himself in a very individual way.
The "Prepared Environment."
In order for self-directed learning to take place, the whole learning environment room, materials and social climate-must be supportive of the learner. The teacher provides necessary resources, including opportunities for children to function in a safe and positive climate. The teacher thus gains the children's trust, which enables them to try new things and build self-confidence
The Montessori materials.
Dr. Montessori's observations of the kinds of things which children enjoy and go back to repeatedly led her to design a number of multi-sensory, sequential and self-correcting materials which facilitate the learning of skills and lead to learning of abstract ideas.
- The materials used by the children are designed to allow them to correct their own mistakes.
How does Montessori work?
Each Montessori class, from toddlers through high school, operates on the principle of freedom within limits. Every program has its set of ground rules which differs from age to age, but is always based on core Montessori beliefs-respect for each other and for the environment.
Children are free to work at their own pace with materials they have chosen, either alone or with others. The teacher relies on his or her observations of the children to determine which new activities and materials may be introduced to an individual child or to a small or large group. The aim is to encourage active, self-directed learning and to strike a balance of individual mastery with small group collaboration within the whole group community
The three-year-age span in each class provides a family-like grouping where learning can take place naturally. More experienced children share what they have learned while reinforcing their own learning. Because this peer group learning is intrinsic to Montessori, there is often more conversation-language experiences-in the Montessori classroom than in conventional early education settings.
Learning Environment
- Diverse set of Montessori materials, activities and experiences
- Schedule that allows large blocks of uninterrupted learning time
- Classroom atmosphere that encourages social interaction
- Space for personal, small group, and whole class learning activities
- Lightweight, proportionate, movable child-sized furnishings
- Identifiable ground rules
- Aesthetically pleasing environment
- Outdoor space to accommodate rigorous physical activity
Program Emphasis
- To encourage intrinsic motivation, spontaneous activity, and self-education
- To provide sensory education for intellectual development
- To encourage competencies through repetitive concrete experiences
- To encourage cooperative learning through peer teaching and social interaction
- To provide learning opportunities through physical activity and outdoor work
- To provide learning activities for creative expression

Hi All,
Just started one of my fav old games of trying to restore Feyenoord to the best club in Holland, first time i have tried it in FM2010.
Problem is the club is completly broke and after a little investigation it seems to be because the club says it doesn't have any season ticket holders!
Is this a bug or is something going on?

Technology has brought many new methods of creating and conveying content and ideas beyond that of traditional writing and reading. These new methods bring a necessity to include media into what we define as literate (ability to read, analyze, critique and communicate) and therefore, as a teacher, what needs to be included in our pedagogy. Furthermore, as a distinct and fundamental characteristic of Lutheran education, we need to incorporate the Christian perspective into the subject of media literacy. This curriculum, combining the questions and concepts presented by the Center for Media Literacy and a biblical perspective, will hopefully be a launching point for Lutheran educators to learn and share media literacy within their classroom.

Islam in Liberalism
Joseph Massad's Islam in Liberalism explores what Islam has become in today's world, with full attention to the multiplication of its meanings and interpretations. He seeks to understand how anxieties about tyranny, intolerance, misogyny, and homophobia, seen in the politics of the Middle East, are projected onto Islam itself. Massad shows that through this projection Europe emerges as democratic and tolerant, feminist, and pro-LGBT rights—or, in short, Islam-free. Massad documents the Christian and liberal idea that we should missionize democracy, women's rights, sexual rights, tolerance, equality, and even therapies to cure Muslims of their un-European, un-Christian, and illiberal ways. Along the way he sheds light on a variety of controversial topics, including the meanings of democracy—and the ideological assumption that Islam is not compatible with it while Christianity is—women in Islam, sexuality and sexual freedom, and the idea of Abrahamic religions valorizing an interfaith agenda. Islam in Liberalism is an unflinching critique of Western assumptions and of the liberalism that Europe and Euro-America blindly present as a type of salvation to an assumingly unenlightened Islam.

B.K.S. Iyengar helped introduce the practice of yoga to the Western world. He introduced Iyengar Yoga, which helped him achieve worldwide fame. Iyengar was introduced to yoga as a teenager by a relative because of health reasons. Iyengar credits yoga with saving his life, and he wrote fourteen books on the subject. He left behind a long legacy of knowledge after his passing on August 20, 2014 at the age of 95.
Iyengar began teaching yoga at 18, and he opened yoga studios in several countries. One of his students included fellow author and revolutionary, Aldous Huxley. Mr. Iyengar's practice is characterized by long asanas that require determination and discipline. When he started practicing as a teen, he was extremely frail. By the time he was in his eighties, he could stand on his head for several minutes.
Iyengar's trademark improvisations included the use of props such as blocks, blankets, and straps as the practice gained more popularity. Now almost anyone could practice yoga, even those that required some assistance. His book "Light on Yoga" explains the 216 yoga postures that formed the art and science of yoga.
Iyengar's challenging poses and breathing techniques have now been adopted by many medical practitioners to help patients with diabetes, high blood pressure, and chronic back pain. Students recall that he was kind, charismatic, and strict. He once said at the conclusion of his practice, "I can remain thoughtfully thoughtless. It's not an empty mind."

The origins of the Underground Railroad go back before the 18th century, but the terminology dates to around 1831. One version states that an enslaved, Tice Davids, crossed the Ohio River in the vicinity of Ripley, Ohio, a ferryboat ride from the slave state of Kentucky, to escape from his owner. As Tice Davids swam the river, his owner kept him in sight as he pursued him in a small rowboat. He could see Tice's head bobbling in the river, but once Tice reached the Ohio side, he was lost from view. His owner searched diligently around Ripley, "a town that hated slavery," but was unable to find his human property. Bewildered and tuckered out, the slave owner could only conclude that Tice Davids "must have gone on an underground road."
It was subsequent to this incident that those conspirators involved in the escape of Tice Davis, and others, began to use such terms as conductors, firemen, brakemen, stationmasters, depots/stations, and such phrases as "catching the next train" to describe their clandestine, though morally driven, efforts in assisting refugees to escape a morally bankrupted slave-owning South. The terminology used was in line with the country's early use of steam to propel passenger-carrying vehicles, in this case the railroads.
Suggested Reading
The Underground Railroad was part of a larger effort to undo an unconscionable, immoral act perpetrated against humanity in the form of chattel slavery.
The Underground Railroad was a crucial driving force in the abolitionist movement, drawing the country more and more into the abyss of civil war and the eventual collapse of the institution of slavery.
The Underground Railroad can be understood as:
The Underground Railroad was a response to an American paradox created at the beginning of the country's history, when the founding fathers validated the enslavement of Africans while extending the fruits of freedom to European indentured servants. Those who were denied freedom created an elaborate network of clandestine cells across the northern tier of the country that assisted scores of fugitive slaves to freedom.
The Underground Railroad was a monumental effort in direct defiance of the Constitution of the United States into which slavery had been written, and challenged federal edicts such as the initial Fugitive Slave Law of 1793. Defiance intensified with the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.
The Underground Railroad was a moral challenge posed to a morally bankrupted nation, around which rallied morally committed individuals whose own freedom was not worth much so long as others were enslaved.
The Underground Railroad was "not a route, but a network; not an organization, but a conspiracy of thousands of people banded together for the deliberate purpose of depriving their southern neighbors of their property [in defiance of the law]." It was "like a ferment beneath the surface of southern society," and was at the core of the country's moral dilemma.
The Underground Railroad was such a formidable force that "it call forth [that] ignominious fugitive slave law," and eventually "brought on the Civil War" and the destruction of slavery.
The Underground Railroad was a people's movement that changed the body politic of the country for the better for it was the people who pushed the country to align creed with practice: WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT THAT ALL MEN [AND WOMEN] ARE CREATED EQUAL, AND ARE ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR WITH CERTAIN INALIENABLE RIGHTS AMONG WHICH ARE LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS!

$2.6 million grant will help vets fight deadly disease in beef and dairy cattle
UC Davis News Service
A UC Davis research team has been awarded $2.6 million by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to carry out research aimed at reducing the incidence of bovine respiratory disease, including pneumonia, the leading cause of death in beef and dairy calves.
The funding comes as part of a 5-year, $9.2 million USDA Coordinated Agricultural Project, which involves collaborators at UC Davis, Texas A&M University, Washington State University, University of Missouri, Colorado State University and New Mexico State University. The project is led by James Womack, the W.P. Luse endowed and distinguished professor at Texas A&M.
The Extension component of the project will be headed by Alison Van Eenennaam, Cooperative Extension specialist in animal genomics and biotechnology in the UC Davis Department of Animal Science. She will be leading the project's Extension component, which will include a range of outreach activities and educational materials related to best management practices for beef and dairy cattle BRD control and prevention.
Other UC Davis researchers:
Cassandra Tucker, an assistant professor of animal behavior in the Department of Animal Science and an expert in cattle welfare, will conduct a case-control study evaluate the effect of pain-controlling medication on the signs and behavior of cattle with and without BRD. This work is a collaboration with Laurel Gershwin, PhD student Rachel Toaff-Rosenstein, and Scottish Agricultural College's Adroaldo Zanella.
Terry Lehenbauer, associate director of food systems at the Veterinary Medicine Teaching and Research Center in Tulare, will be leading a project at a local calf ranch for discovering the genetic components for BRD resistance and the interaction of pathogens and other factors that influence the risk of disease in young Holstein calves prior to weaning. He will also manage a case-control study to distinguish genetic differences in calves with and without clinical BRD caused by common viral and bacterial pathogens.
Laurel Gershwin, a professor in the School of Veterinary Medicine's Department of Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology, will be working this summer with seven different agents of bovine respiratory disease as part of the project.
The Veterinary Medicine Teaching and Research Center also received funding from this grant for training a new veterinary graduate, Jessica Davis (University of Georgia, 2011), who is interested in dairy cattle herd health. Davis will enter a 12-month internship program in July to gain knowledge and clinical experience about BRD; she will learn to develop skills in multidisciplinary, integrated research pertaining to this project.
Bovine respiratory disease annually results in the death of more than 1 million animals and the loss of $692 million.
The ultimate goals of the newly funded research project are to integrate research, education and Extension activities to improve diagnostics and develop cost-effective genomic and management approaches to reduce the incidence of the disease in beef and dairy cattle.

Repurposing a CD Box
At Pondered Primed Perfected, Sherry had this plain, wooden CD box that had been sitting around her house for a while. It wasn't getting much use as a CD holder anymore, so she decided it was time to give it a new job.

Clayton (Clay) Daniels is VP of Operations, Midwest Service & Solutions at Kansas City-based U.S. Engineering Company. He's also one of the area's most inspiring leaders.
The company was established in Kansas City in 1893 and is now one of the most experienced, diversified and respected mechanical constructors in the United States. It has three locations and annual sales of $270 million.
Daniels was a Major in the US Army, has an MBA from the Bloch School of Management at UMKC, and moved into his VP role at U.S. Engineering in November 2013.
Daniels recently shared his insights on leadership:
Question: As you move from Project Manager to Vice President, what do you plan to do the same, and do differently, from a management standpoint?
- Daniels: Several project management skills translate to skills indicative of a Vice President. A VP is just managing and leading at a higher, more strategic level. Whether a project manager, or a VP, your primary responsibility is to provide clear direction to your teammates and to remove obstacles so they can do their jobs more effectively. In both positions, you are a servant leader.
Question: What primary leadership skills did you use as a Major in the US Army that you've transferred to your civilian business leadership role?
- Daniels: All leadership skills translate. Loyalty, Integrity, Duty, Respect, Communication, Integrity, Selflessness, Decisiveness, Courage, Initiative, Accountability, etc… Obviously, the stakes are a little higher when leading soldiers in combat. However, the leadership skills necessary to motivate and inspire teams to accomplish their goals and objectives in the business world are relatively the same as they are in the Army.
Question: Why should a leader in business pursue an MBA?
- Daniels: The MBA itself is an opportunity for a business leader to become more well-rounded and versatile. More importantly, a local MBA allows for business leaders to engage with each other, establish personal and business relationships, and to build off each other's experiences. I personally have developed fantastic relationships with members of my EMBA cohort at the Bloch School of Management (class of 2013) that are going to last a lifetime.
Question: What are some of the best ways to network with other business leaders in the Kansas City area?
- Daniels: For me, the best way to network is to participate in 'extracurricular' activities outside of business. I am a member of several groups, including the West Point Society of Kansas City and the Chapter 29 Special Forces Association. I also regularly attend other industry-related events and functions that allow interaction with my peers. One of the great things about construction and service is that our customers are typically from multiple industries. I do think it is very important to make an effort to build relationships and constantly expand your network. This can only help your company and you personally in your professional life.
Question: What was the process your company used to select your company's values?
- Daniels: U.S. Engineering Company has been around for a long time. I was not a member of the management committee when our core values were created, but there is no doubt they were carefully selected. I am very proud of our values, but more importantly proud of my teammates that live them. Our core values are:
- Exhibit integrity in everything we do.
- Listen, identify and respond to customer needs.
- Provide quality, on schedule, at a competitive price.
- Respect, challenge and recognize each employee.
- Ensure a safe working environment.
Question: Your company excels in community engagement. What are some of the most effective ways for Kansas City area companies to get involved in the community?
- Daniels: I believe that everyone wants to help their community in some way. All it takes is for someone within a company to step up and take the lead; people will follow. U.S. Engineering is involved in many programs with local schools, the American Cancer Society, and Harvesters. However, my favorite program is during the Christmas season when U.S. Engineering employees and their families adopt children from the local community. We purchase Christmas gifts for the kids and deliver them in our U.S. Engineering 2-Ton truck. Throughout the life of this program, we have delivered gifts for over 400 kids.
Question: How did your views about leadership change from the time you entered the US Army until you exited 10 years later?
- Daniels: I suppose I was a little naïve as a young, 2nd Lieutenant. At that point leadership to me was what I'd seen on the football field and at West Point. I realized that a true leader should be able to adapt their leadership style in the best interests of the team. For example, an infantry platoon leader's style leading 19- to 24-year-old infantrymen was much different than a Special Forces A-Team leader responsible for 11 mature operators. Regardless, I learned that the most effective leader is one that clearly communicates the mission, establishes left and right limits, removes obstacles, and motivates the team. Finally, I learned that good leaders are humble. Nobody is perfect and everyone makes mistakes. A leader's ability to accept responsibility, be accountable, and learn is critical to team success.
Question: What leadership skill did you learn as a teen that you still use today?
- Daniels: Lead by example. I believe teens are developing leadership skills, but it is hard to expect them to completely understand the intangibles of leadership. However, teens can show leadership by making good decisions, having impeccable integrity, and working hard every day. When you lead by example, you don't have to say much, but your teammates will follow.
Question: What single most important leadership skill did you learn playing football?
- Daniels: In my opinion, there is no sport that teaches the intangibles of leadership better than football. The most important leadership skill that football taught me is toughness and perseverance. My defensive back coach at West Point once said – "Tough times don't last, tough people do."

He pulled off the impossible. There's a reason Lou Lamoriello is regarded as one of the best NHL executives. A year after failing to re-sign Scott Niedermayer, the Devils' Team President and GM redeemed himself in a huge way this past weekend by re-signing forwards Patrik Elias and Jamie Langenbrunner.
With questions regarding how much room he had to work with due to last summer's contract busts with Alexander Mogilny ($3.5 million) and Vladimir Malakhov (3.6) which they're reportedly still on the hook for, Lamoriello delivered as promised by doing whatever it took to bring back his star left wing Elias along with Langenbrunner.
Ignoring the obvious dilemma in regards to where his team might stand with the $44.5 million cap, Lamoriello was able to reach agreement on a seven-year contract with Elias worth $42 million.
Regarded as the number one free agent on the market, the 30 year-old Czech who helped the Devils win two Stanley Cups in 2000 and 2003 was highly coveted by the Rangers and Canadiens.
Despite reportedly being offered more money per season by both teams, Elias chose to stay with the team which selected him in the second round 51st overall in 1994.
Apparently, the biggest issues were getting two extra years and a no-trade clause included in the deal. The longterm security gave the Devils an edge, allowing them to get their star player at a discount ($6 million per year) when he could've gotten even more.
Despite missing the first half of the '05-06 season due to hepatitis, Elias helped lead the Devils back to the postseason for the ninth straight year and to a sixth Atlantic Division.
In just 38 regular season games, he totaled 16 goals to go with 29 assists for 45 points and a plus-11 rating. That kind of production continued in the playoffs when the two-time NHL All-Star finished with 16 points (6-10-16) in only nine games, including a magnificent first round performance in the Devils' sweep of the Rangers- tallying five goals and 11 points.
Such clutch play along with being viewed as one of the game's best made him a high commodity. Fortunately for the Devils, he opted to return.
In 596 career NHL games, Elias has 223 goals and 281 assists for 504 points.
Also returning will be Langenbrunner. Originally acquired from Dallas along with Joe Nieuwendyk in exchange for Jason Arnott, Randy McKay plus a 2002 first round pick (dealt to Columbus, then to Buffalo-Dan Paille) back on March 19, 2002, the 30 year-old Minnesota native inked a five-year deal worth $2.8 million per season.
In three-plus seasons with New Jersey, Langenbrunner has totaled 140 points (54-86-140) in 225 games.
The checking winger finished the 2003 postseason with 11 goals and seven assists for 18 points along with a plus-11 rating to help the Devils win their third Stanley Cup.
"I have been fortunate to play in this league, and for the last nine or 10 years to make the playoffs and to have a chance," Langenbrunner told the AP after his 53 points ranked him third in Devils scoring this past season.
"That's all you want. You don't know what is going to happen next year, but staying with the Devils I think gives me a shot."

My Swedish grandma enjoyed a wonderfully long life. She died in 1973 at the age of 102, and we all miss her still.
She never completely lost her accent, her wonderful sense of humor nor her connection with her Maker, but during those final years the brain occasionally played little tricks.
On her 100th birthday, the White House was notified and she received a congratulatory card from President Richard Nixon. Grandma's beginning-to-fail mind took the truth of that message and expanded it into specific memories of years of friendship with the first couple.
As we heard, "When I was in California," a state she had never visited, and "I remember when Dick and Pat were first married," we hid our smiles and enjoyed her reminiscing.
The story I most cherished was the one she told during my last visit to the nursing home where she spent her final four or five years. I had just entered the room when she asked if I'd heard about the day her heart had stopped. She went on to tell me she'd been resting in bed one afternoon when her heart stopped beating. She said she became quite concerned and tried to find a nurse to help.
"And I called and called. I guess they were busy or couldn't hear me. So I finally had to just get out of bed and go down the hall to get someone," she said.
I managed to commiserate properly, but never have I so enjoyed the report of a medical emergency.

Police in Portugal are to begin using a fleet of Nissan LEAF electric vehicles.
The Polícia de Segurança Pública (PSP) will use the award-winning zero-emission vehicles predominantly for its Safe School Program and they will have 'Policia' markings, sirens and blue lights.
The eight Nissan LEAF cars will be incorporated into the PSP car leasing fleet to police large urban areas of the country and will also be called upon to fulfil duties outside the schools project.
Superintendent Paul Gomes Valente, National Director of PSP, is proud of the force's commitment to electric vehicles and the environment.
"We pride ourselves in being the first police force in the world to incorporate cars with zero-emission technology as part of our 5,000 vehicle fleet," he said.
"We want to continue reducing pollution in large urban centres and the introduction of the 100% electric Nissan LEAF sets a new benchmark for our fleet."
Portugal is at the forefront of the electric vehicle industry in Europe after becoming the first nation to sell the Nissan LEAF to the public last year and one of the first to implement a network of EV chargers in major cities.

A new Collector's Edition Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack of the 2010 Dreamworks animated film "How To Train Your Dragon" arrives today, with upgraded sound, a ticket discount for the upcoming sequel (coming to theaters June 13) and some additional extras.
Subscribe to the National Blu-Ray Examiner for reviews and info on the latest Blu-Rays and DVDs!
"How to Train Your Dragon" tells the tale of Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel) a young Viking who befriends a dragon named Toothless. Soon, Hiccup and Toothless are taking to the skies, swooping and gliding across the water in several beautifully animated sequences.
The character work and storytelling is somewhat predictable, but what sets this apart from the usual Dreamworks fare is its character-based humor and refreshing lack of instantly dated pop culture jokes. The action and adventure, especially during the rousing finale, elevate the film. It's the best Dreamworks animated film to date, and it's even better than Pixar's last couple of films.
As expected, the digital animation pops on Blu-Ray, and the sound mix is impeccable. This new Collector's Edition features an upgraded 7.1 Dolby TrueHD audio track, and comes with a sticker on the slipcover offering $7.50 off a ticket to the upcoming sequel. The set also comes with over 90 minutes of bonus features, including the first episode of "DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk" and the animated adventure "Legend of the Boneknapper Dragon," featuring the original voice cast.
A fun, exciting adventure for the whole family, "How To Train Your Dragon" is Dreamworks' best film. You can view the teaser trailer for the upcoming sequel above. For the latest Blu-Ray news and reviews, subscribe to the Blu-Ray Examiner today.

Charlie Parker: Ornithology
Charlie Parker (alto sax)
Best of the Complete Savoy & Dial Studio Recordings (Savoy SVY 17120)
Charlie Parker (alto sax), Miles Davis (trumpet), Lucky Thompson (tenor sax), Dodo Marmarosa (piano), Vic McMillan (bass), Roy Porter (drums),
Arvin Garrison (guitar).
Composed by Charlie Parker & Benny Harris.
Recorded: Hollywood, March 28, 1946
Rating: 98/100 (learn more)
Charlie Parker's 1946 Hollywood stay was personally disastrous, culminating in arrest and six-month commitment to a state mental hospital. From the perspective of his music, however, the months before his meltdown stand out as an unforgettable period. "Ornithology" (based on the chords to "How High the Moon") is a bebop high point. Bird is in fine fettle, and a cup-muted Miles shows increasing self- confidence. Lucky Thompson is an overlooked and under-recorded musician who helped budge the tenor sax from its Swing Era complacency. As for guitarist Garrison, he plays a mere 22 notes on the entire 3-minute track. Not a bad deal: immortality for 22 notes.

Caught in the Whirlpool
Part III
Kushina chewed at the inside of her cheek as she looked up the path that led to her old childhood home. She'd already checked over the local motels and discovered that one had gone out of business, another was full (which had surprised her), and the few that were left were of the extremely seedy, rent-by-the-hour sort. As she was an adult, staying in the Pokémon Center dorms was frowned upon for longer than a one-night emergency stay. So that left only one option
Ugh, might as well get this over with.
Steeling her nerves, she marched up the path through the sparse clumps of grass to the front door. The house looked rundown and in need of fresh paint. And it looked smaller than she remembered.
She stopped in front of the blue front door and knocked
And the person that she least wanted to see was on the other side. Her silver-threaded wavy brown hair was now iron gray with white streaks in it. Her humorless face was lined with more wrinkles than Kushina remembered and her freckles looked more like age spots. She was dressed in an informal blue and gray kimono and her cold brown eyes swept crucially over the visitor standing on the doorstep.
Can I help you?" Asuka asked frostily.
"Hi Aunt Asuka," Kushina almost groaned. "Could you move so I can come in?"
The older woman gave her a second and much more intense visual inspection before her face grew even colder and darker in recognition.
"Oh, it's you," Asuka said, injecting icy derision into every syllable and turning the final word into a curse.
"I didn't come to argue," Kushina struggled not to growl. "I just need to crash in my old room for a while."
"That room belongs to Akane now," Asuka replied.
"Then I'll sleep on the couch's pull-out bed," Kushina said with a shrug. Of course Akane has my room nowshe was probably desperate to not have to share with her mom anymore
"Go elsewhere," Asuka demanded and started to close the door.
"This isn't your house," Kushina snapped, wedging her foot in the door to keep it open. "This is my father's house and he's the only one who can tell me to take a hike!"
"You've shamed this family enough," Asuka shot back. "Do us a favor and go back to the mainland before everyone else learns how much further you've fallen since your childhood defiance."
"You married into this family; you're not an Uzumaki at all!" Kushina snarled and braced her shoulder against the door.
"I may not be an Uzumaki by blood," Asuka retorted sharply. "But unlike you, I care about what remains of this family's reputation!"
Kushina was just about out of patience and she started to force the door open. "Why you"
"What's going on here?"
The masculine voice startled Kushina so much that she almost lost her balance and fell. And when she turned to find out who had interrupted, she did a little double-take. She almost thought that it was her father, but then she realized that it was her oldest brother, Kenshin. He was a middle-aged man now instead of a teenager, with the start of crow's feet around his eyes and gray sprinkled in the hair over his temples. It made him look weird and old.
Kenshin-nii-san, Aunt Asuka's being mean!" Kushina complained.
Kenshin just stared at her in confusion without any hint of recognition. Her eyes started to sting a little as the silence stretched on. Her oldest brother, the one who'd taught her how to fish, had no idea who she was.
Kushina?" he said hesitantly.
"Of course, what other woman would call you 'big brother'?" she sniffed.
"Your hair has gotten very long," Kenshin blinked.
"Yeah, I know." Kushina dropped her duffel bag on the stone steps to rub at her sore shoulder. "But Arashi already told you about that, didn't he?"
"Arashi ran into you?" her brother gaped. "When?"
"What do you mean 'when'? It wasn't even two months ago that I saw him in Cove Town," she informed him with a slight frown.
"He never said anything to me about seeing you anywhere," Kenshin said as he came a few steps closer.
"What the hell?" Kushina grumbled. Why wouldn't he tell anybody about me when he got home? And then another thought struck her and she wheeled back to face her aunt who was still standing on the other side of the half-open door. "How did you get my phone number?"
"You sent it in one of your letters," Asuka replied with a sniff.
"What letters?" Kenshin asked. "I haven't seen anything from Kushina since her last postcard years and years ago."
"Where did you find them?" Kushina demanded.
"They were in a shoebox in your father's closet," the older woman answered.
Kushina clenched her teeth until her jaw started to ache. Of course
"So Daddy's read them?"
"The envelopes were still sealed when I uncovered them." Asuka's line face tightened with disgust. "I'm very disappointed in what I found in those letters and I'm glad that Kenjiro never read them; he'd be so ashamed."
"Shut up!" Kushina snapped.
Anger burned through her veins. She was pissed off at Aunt Asuka for all the usual reasons plus the recent annoying phone calls. She was intensely irritated with Arashi for keeping their meeting to himself for whatever reason. And she was enraged and hurt that her father had hidden all of her letters from the rest of the family and had never read a single one.
It was all too much, so she abandoned her travel bag by the front door and stormed down the path and past Kenshin feeling like steam was pouring out of her ears.
"Where are you going?" Kenshin called after her.
"I'm taking a walk!" Kushina snapped back as she took the fork in the path that led down the sea cliffs to the beach. "Don't follow me!"
The trail down to the ocean was steep and it zigzagged as it descended to the shore. It was early evening so the tide was receding, slowly increasing the width of the beach. Unlike the soft golden sands of Jungle Country, the beach here was covered in rough gray rocks and some larger boulders. Right now the dreary place suited her ugly mood perfectly.
Kushina stalked over to her favorite flat-topped boulder and glowered out over the choppy waves. Almost directly in front of her crouched the gym that had been in her family since its founding and on clear, calm days she could sometimes make out the people standing on the tiny island. But right now it made a good target to shout at while the crashing surf drowned out her words.
I should never have come back here, she fumed as she vented her fury at the uncaring ocean. This was a mistake
Kenjiro deeply inhaled the brisk salty air as sea spray stung his face. He stood with his legs braced apart for maximum balance as Tank, his blastoise, cut through the choppy water towards the shore. His watery commute between his gym and his home wasn't particularly long or scenic and it was only dangerous during poor weather, but he always enjoyed the ride.
When Tank crawled onto the shore he stayed horizontal until Kenjiro hopped off the giant turtle's battle-scarred shell. He started straight for the trail up to the top of the cliff, but his blastoise hesitated. Kenjiro looked to see what had caught his oldest pokémon's eye and stiffened.
A woman was pacing along the beach just out of reach of the waves several yards away, and for a moment he saw his wife, Atsuko. But this woman's hair was the wrong colorred instead of blackand when she paced back in his direction he could see that the eyes weren't quite the same either. And the clothing that she was wearingjean pants and a zip-up hooded sweatshirt over a T-shirtwas not something that Atsuko would ever have worn. Still, there was something about her face, about her build, about the way that she moved, that reminded him so strongly of his dead wife that something twisted in his chest as he stared at her.
The red-haired woman was so lost in thought that she didn't see him until she was only a few feet away. She jumped back with a startled squawk when she did see him and almost fell down when she stumbled on some loose rock. Her brow furrowed in confusion as she studied him and then she spoke.
"Daddy, you look so old!"
Kenjiro sucked in a sharp breath as her odd resemblance to Atsuko suddenly made perfect sense. Behind him Tank made a startled noise. And then for several minutes after that, the only sound was the growl of the surf on the beach.
Didn't you swear that you would never come back here again?" Kenjiro finally said.
"I meant that I'd never move back in again," his daughter retorted. "And I'm not. I just want to crash on the couch bed for a while. Unless, of course, you back Aunt Asuka again and tell me to go elsewhere."
He eyed his errant child closely, his mouth set in a thin line. He'd always tried to do right by his daughter, but all she'd given him in return was defiance and headaches. Her rebellion at the start of her pokémon journey and the mocking postcards that he couldn't hide had led some of his neighbors to jeer at him for being unable to properly control one little girl. And he was sure that most of the rest of the town whispered about his failure behind his back.
The way that she is, is all my fault, he knew. If Atsuko had lived, Kushina would never have turned out this way. But I was the only parent and I found myself raising her as a son. By the time that Asuka moved in with Akane to be strong female role models for her, it was too late to undo the damage that I had done with my ignorance
"You can have your old room back," Kenjiro grunted.
"No, thank you," Kushina grimaced. "That's Akane's room now. I'm sure that it's been painted bright pink, it smells like perfume, and the bed is covered with ruffles and lace. I'll take the pull-out bed in the couch."
"That's no place for a woman to sleep," Kenjiro argued.
His daughter's face turned thunderous. "I'm sleeping on the couch bed or I'm going to one of the dockside motels."
Kenjiro wanted to curse at her. The few dockside motels were used almost exclusively by sailors and fishermen to meet with whores or mistresses. If Kushina went and stayed there, there was a good chance that men would start propositioning her, thinking that she was for sale.
"Fine!" he snapped. "Take the couch, then! I only thought to offer you some privacy."
"I'd only need a private room if I slept naked," Kushina snorted and walked around him to the foot of the trail. "And I don't do that."
Kenjiro ground his teeth as he put Tank back in his sphere and trudged after his youngest child back up to the house.
This girl is going to ruin my blood pressure!
When Kushina reached the top of the trail where the ground leveled out, she was ambushed.
"Cousin Kushina!" Akane squealed, clasping manicured nails over her chest. "You're alive!"
Her cousin looked much like Kushina had expected her to. Akane was no longer a gorgeous teenager, but a beautiful woman with bright green eyes and her wavy red-brown hair carefully braided into an intricate bun held stable by lacquered hair sticks. She was dressed in an informal kimono, much like her mother, except that hers was more brightly colored and the outer layer was decorated with a butterfly pattern. With her delicate features carefully enhanced by make-up, she looked almost like some kind of princess or noblewoman from an older age.
Kushina felt plain and ordinary standing next to her.
"Of course I'm alive," Kushina snorted. "Who told you that I was dead?"
"Well, your pretty postcards stopped coming and you didn't come back so something bad must've happened to you," Akane replied. "So what did happen? Were you kidnapped? Did you get thrown in jail for committing some crime? Were you shipwrecked on some remote island down in the tropics? Did"
"Nothing like that happened," Kushina sighed. "I moved into a house and started sending letters instead."
Akane cocked her head like a confused puppy. "What letters?"
"Letters I sent that Daddy thought belonged in the bottom of is closet," Kushina grumbled. "You'd think he'd be curious about how I was doing, but he never read them," she added acidly. I worked hard on those letters, and the first few were really important, but he didn't care!
"Your postcards were bad enough," her father grunted as he reached the top of the trail. "Every time one arrived the entire town would be gossiping about it within hours. Pardon me for being tired of having little old ladies scold me for raising a daughter that would send such rude messages home."
"The gossip did get nasty," Akane agreed. "Mother would come home so angry and embarrassed sometimes because the neighbors would be joking about how you thought you were a boy, Kushina."
"Whatever," Kushina growled, too pissed off to think of a longer response, and stalked back to the house.
People had always laughed at her childhood ambition of becoming a well-traveled pokémon trainer. Girls kept pokémon as pets or trained them for contests, they didn't specialize in battling and they didn't go far from home by themselves. They told her that she couldn't do what the boys did and that she should give it up.
But she'd stuck to her dream and struck out on her own. She outdid the boys by traveling farther from home than most of them and never once called home begging for money or help. And instead of being proud of her and impressed by her accomplishments, her family was ashamed and everyone else treated her like a freak.
I hate this place so much!
Just outside of the front door her twin brothers, Ichi-Tora and Ni-Tora, had arrived and were talking with Kenshin. They, too, looked strange to her now that they were all grown up and no longer gawky teenagers. But they were still identical and she couldn't even begin to guess which carrot-topped man was which.
"So our baby sister is back in town?" one asked Kenshin.
"For real?" the other added. "No joke?"
"No joke," Kenshin replied gravely and pointed over their shoulders. "She's right there."
They turned, blinked, and their jaws dropped in eerie twin unison.
"No way!"
"You guys are still kind of creepy when you do that," Kushina complained.
"Do what?" they asked at the same time.
"Use your weird twin powers," she said with a little frown. "And how is it that there's still no way to tell you two apart? Do you conspire to get the same scars?"
"No, but that's a great idea!" one said enthusiastically.
"No, that's a terrible idea!" the other snorted.
They paused and locked eyes with each other as if angry that they hadn't had the same opinion. Kushina almost thought that they were going to start one of their strange but rare arguments. But instead their slight scowls morphed into boyish grins through some silent exchange and they turned back towards her.
And then they latched onto her, sandwiching her in-between them.
"We missed you!"
"Why did you stop sending postcards?" one complained.
"Some of those pictures were really cool, even if your messages were a little snotty," the other grinned.
"Not all of my postcards were snotty," Kushina protested as she tried to wiggle free.
"Yeah, only most of them were," the first one teased.
"Your hair's so long!" the other remarked in amazement. "When did it get so long?"
"When I stopped getting it cut so short," she sighed. "C'mon Tora-Tora, let me go!"
"No!" the second one refused.
"You'll disappear if we do," the first one said.
"No I won't," Kushina snorted. "I'll be around for at least a few weeks."
"Only a few weeks?" they nearly pouted.
"There's nothing stopping either of you from coming to visit me at my house if you really want to," she told them and finally managed to slip free of them.
"But we don't know where you live," one of the twins complained.
"Well, you just need to"
"And where have you been?" Kenjiro demanded and Kushina was momentarily baffled, thinking that he was talking to her.
But when she turned to look, she found that he was staring down Arashi, who was trudging up towards the house. Her youngest older brother had a sullen expression on his face and an odd fiery glint in his dark eyes. Everyone radiated tension and Kushina felt lost as to what the big deal was.
"Well?" Kenjiro demanded when Arashi still hadn't answered.
"I've been around," Arashi grumbled. "Is it a crime to go for a walk?"
"And what were you doing on this walk?" Kenshin asked his youngest brother.
"Nothing," Arashi insisted.
Well, whatever's going on, I've got my own bone to pick with him, Kushina decided and used Kenshin and her father as cover to sneak around to Arashi's side without him noticing.
"Hey Arashi!" she cried with a grin and latched onto his arm. "Tell me, how come you didn't tell anyone that you saw me in Cove Town?"
"Wh-what are you doing here?" Arashi sputtered, staring at her wide-eyed.
"You were in Cove Town?" Akane asked. "Ah, we could've met for lunch!"
"I'm going to be working for Professor Utatane for a while," Kushina answered. "So how come you didn't tell anyone about seeing me? Did you not want to admit that you didn't recognize me and that you flirted with me?"
"You did what?" Kenshin hissed.
"Ew!" Ichi-Tora and Ni-Tora gagged.
"If I had had any inkling that I'd been talking to you, I never would've done it!" Arashi snapped. "And Aunt Asuka knows"
"You told Aunt Asuka and no one else?" Kushina growled and tightened her grip on his arm. You told the one person I really didn't want you to tell? Really?
"I only told her about seeing you and the letters!" Arashi sputtered. "Be grateful that I didn't mention that you're supposedly engaged."
"What?" Kenshin, Ichi-Tora, Ni-Tora, their father, and Akane cried.
"You're engaged?" Akane sniffled. "I
I don't even have a boyfriend anymore. I'm going to die a spinster!"
"Who is this guy?" one of the twins demanded.
"Let us at him!" the other glared.
"Are you sure that you're making the right decision?" Kenshin worried. "This isn't something you should choose to do impulsively."
Her father didn't say anything but the look on his face was clearly angry and dangerous.
"You jerk!" Kushina whispered harshly and ducked behind Arashi, turning him into a human shield. "Look what you did!"
Before anymore questions or demands could be thrown at her, Asuka stepped out of the house and clapped her hands.
"Dinner is nearly ready!" Asuka announced. "Everyone come inside."
"Mom!" Akane wailed. "Arashi says that Kushina says that she's engaged!"
"Oh?" An expression that might've been approval briefly touched Asuka's stern face. "Good. Hopefully that will legitimize that little boy of hers."
The silence that followed that sentence was deafeningly loud.
What?" Arashi blinked and looked over his shoulder at Kushina. "You
a baby?"
a while ago, yeah," Kushina muttered. She swallowed and gathered her last shreds of bravado. "You'd know that already if my letters had actually been read instead of gathering dust in a closet."
Arashi and the Tora-Tora twins just gaped at her. Akane looked distraught. Kenshin's face was unreadable. Asuka just shook her head and went back inside the house to make sure that dinner didn't burn. And her father gave her a look that she couldn't accurately describe, but it made her want to melt into the ground.
Coming back here was a really, really big mistake
and when I get back home I'm going to kill Professor Sarutobi!

Gets back inside the bunker that he made during "will of foxfire"
I have made it bigger since then. * by now it is effing huge*
1) Well it looks like someone finally find the letters
2) So Kushina's dad did not even open them… I could see not showing it to others but not reading them himself ….oh boy
3) I see there are stong …more traditional …cultural effects going on here. Particularly the place for women in society.
4) It is kinda funny (but efficient) how you recycle your OC 's. It's funny because I still keep thinking about their "will of foxfire" counterparts
5) Punch one (kushina is engaged) wonders if they are going to do to Minato when they find out
6) Punch two (kushina had a child out of wedlock) well at least they know now rather than when Naruto is walking up the step and looking for his mom
I just, for the life of me, can't imagine how this could get any worse. (said with extreeeeeeeeeemmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeee sarcasm).

1) Indeed.
2) Silly man just thought that they'd be like her postcards, only longer.
5) Yes, what will they do?
6) It's one of Asuka's nightmares to have a scandal like this hit her family...
Mmm, sarcasm...
If I had to face a family reunion like that, words would be said. None of merriment, either...
Oh boy are they going to be surprised to learn how old Naruto is but that the father is Fire Country's Champion of the Pokemon League.
PS - I tried commenting last night but it didn't have the add Comment button :/
PS - I tried commenting last night but it didn't have the add Comment button :/
No button? How weird...
And yet true, particularly as the site wouldn't show me my messages during that particular evening.
Yeah, this will not end well. Naruto already has a tendency to draw trouble, and now with Kitsune on his team (AKA Demon 2.0) hijinks are going to insue. And Im sure Minato will be just thrilled with the whole thing.
Her Aunt is really starting to PISS ME OFF!!!!
I'm serious, what right does she have to dictate what Kushina does with her life? She maybe her aunt but she's not Kushina's mother!
With Kenjiro's wife dead and no other female influence in the house, Asuka sees it has her duty to fill the empty role to the best of her ability. The males in the house don't need her help as much; they just need to be fed, the laundry done, and the house cleaned. But the females need her guidance and education in the ways of being a woman. Her daughter Akane is no problem, but Kushina...
In Asuka's mind, her lack of a mother figure from toddler-hood on led her to model herself after her brothers because she had no other constant example to follow. Asuka tried to correct this problem so that Kushina would grow up into a well-behaved girl that could win herself a decent husband and be happy... But Kushina wanted none of that, and so they butted heads pretty much from the moment that Asuka moved into the house.

But Kushina wanted none of that, and so they butted heads pretty much from the moment that Asuka moved into the house.
Odds are that Kenjiro tried to make Kushina follow Asuka as her role model. The man hasn't got a freaking clue about how to deal with girls, and the fact that his views are so traditional that he even looks down upon one of the founding members of his clan simply becasue they were a woman doesn't help him any.
Kenjiro doesn't dislike Mito because she was a woman, he just blames her blames her example as the only notable female trainer among the Uzumaki ancestors for partly inspiring his daughter's unfeminine ambition. And it doesn't help much that he had an Aunt Mito (named after the one depicted in the mural), who he had admired, that ran off with some main-lander when he was just a boy and never came back...
Yes! Kill him Kushina! Kill your aunt too!! XD Poor Kushina. She's going to explode soon!
I love the chapter!
I love the chapter!
Woah... while I'm not one to spit on traditions, it seems very harsh to criticize someone like that for attempting to break from tradition. And Asuka is just a bitch, from how things sound.
Asuka has very rigid standards and ideas of how things should be...and Kushina has never come close to fitting inside the lines.
Oh, a full Kushina one. It actually made this one seem longer. I have a feeling that chapter 2 was planned out more than this one, seeing as this took longer to update. So it was her dad? Huh. I would have suspected her aunt, or the Kurohi, or something. Tch. Didn't even read them. Poor Kushina......and damnit, Arashi and Asuka. You went and messed things up more.
When does Minato and Naruto get hereee?
Hope to see an update soon.
When does Minato and Naruto get hereee?
Hope to see an update soon.
let the battle begn! truthfully i hope that kushina kicks all their buts. her family needs to see that there are more important things to life than tradition.
I don't know if I should be cheering for the family feud, but I loved the chapter, and I can't wait for the situation to get ever more intense ans Naruto and Minato show up. Will Kushina end up battling Asuka? Great Chapter and I can't wait for the next ones!
Dun Dun Dun! Awesome chapter
I love the twins! They're so funny.
Can't wait to see how they all react when both Naruto and Minato arrive... should make for a (hilariously) awkward encounter.
Can't wait to see how they all react when both Naruto and Minato arrive... should make for a (hilariously) awkward encounter.
Oh, jeeze. This isn't going to go over well when Naruto gets here, is it? I'm willing to bet he's going to start telling off Asuka and Kenjiro BOTH for being so nasty to his mom. And I'm honestly hoping that Kushina gets so frustrated that she challenges her old man to a battle just to prove that he's wrong. Because I think she'd mop the floor with him. And if not her, definitely Naruto.
Well, Minato's scheduled to battle Kenjiro in a few days...
Honestly, I just want to see Naruto in an actual battle. We've seen him after battles and before, but aside from his battle with Kakashi we've yet to really see him take on another gym. And I think that Kenjiro would want to test this little whelp, see if he's "worthy" of the Uzumaki name (and possibly take out some misplaced aggression).
He fought Tsunade in "Forest of Death".
fair point, but that was still a while ago. Seeing how he's adapted and evolved as a trainer since then would be interesting. Though I will admit you've set up a nice confrontation already for him with that bully from "Let's Go, Safari!" so it's entirely probable that we'll see him battle in this fic once he arrives in Uzu.
Ha, I was right about her dad not reading the letters.Glad Asuka isn't my aunt, she sounds like a real pain to deal with.

The classical statement of the recognition principle (after Boardman, Vogt, Milgram and May) that I know is:
Let $X$ be a (group-like) topological space acted on by the little $n$-discs operad, then $X$ is (weakly) homotopy equivalent (as an algebra over the little discs operad) to an $n$-fold loop space.
In particular, the theorem leaves me unsatisfied since there are some spaces which have the homotopy type of an $n$-fold loop space but which are not acted on by the little discs operad.
The "right" statement of the recognition principle should be a statement inside the homotopy category (of spaces and operads), but I have never seen it stated properly.
Does it appear somewhere? Also, is there a modern version of P. May's proof that appears in the geometry of iterated loop spaces?
