Isabelle Dinoire
|Isabelle Dinoire
|1967 (age 48–49)
Valenciennes, France
|Known for
|first partial face transplant
Isabelle Dinoire, born 1967, was the first person to undergo a partial face transplant, after her Labrador retriever mauled her in May 2005.
Personal life[edit]
Dinoire lives in Valenciennes, northern France, and she is the mother of two children.[1]
According to The Australian, she has signed a contract with British documentary maker Michael Hughes.
Mutilation incident[edit]
Dinoire's dog mauled her face after she passed out from an overdose of sleeping pills.[2] Some reports following the initial surgery claim that her daughter said that the black Labrador cross (named Tania) was "frantically" trying to wake Dinoire after she took sleeping pills in a suicide attempt, and that Dinoire wrote about her suicidal feelings in her own memoir.[3] The hospital denied this,[4] saying that she said she had taken a pill to go to sleep after a family argument and was bitten by her labrador during the night.
In a statement made on 6 February 2006, Dinoire said that "after a very upsetting week, with many personal problems, I took some pills to forget ... I fainted and fell on the ground, hitting a piece of furniture."[5]
Dinoire's daughter reported that the family is sure that the dog, which was euthanized, mutilated Dinoire by accident.[6] They believe that the damage was caused when the dog, finding Dinoire wouldn't wake up, got more and more frantic, and began scratching and clawing her.[6][7] Dinoire was "heartbroken" when Tania was euthanized and kept a picture of the Labrador by her hospital bed;[8] she later bought another dog to aid in her recovery after surgery.[6]
Dinoire's injuries affected her nose, lips, chin, and cheeks.[2] She wore a surgical mask to cover the injuries on the lower part of her face, as the upper face was not affected.[6]
Doctors and the media debated whether the donor and/or the recipient had attempted suicide, with reports stating that the donor had hanged herself.[8] The family of the donor told the funeral director who handled the donor's death that the donor had an accidental death. Local French newspapers stated that Dinoire's daughter said that the mother attempted to commit suicide. Dubernard said that the recipient did not try to kill herself. Olivier Jardé, an orthopedic surgeon from Amiens and a member of the French National Assembly, said that both the donor and the recipient attempted suicide.[9] The Sunday Times, a British newspaper, stated that Dinoire said via a telephone interview that she tried to commit suicide.[9] In her 2007 memoir, Dinoire stated that the donor had killed herself, which "gave Dinoire a feeling of sisterhood" with the donor.[3]
Partial face transplant[edit]
The first partial face transplant surgery on a living human was performed on Dinoire on 27 November 2005 by Professor Bernard Devauchelle, assisted by Professor Jean-Michel Dubernard at the Centre hospitalier Universitaire Nord in Amiens, France. A triangle of face tissue, including the nose and mouth, was taken from a brain-dead female donor and grafted onto the patient.[10][11] "Scientists elsewhere have performed scalp and ear transplants. However, the claim is the first for a mouth and nose transplant. Experts say the mouth and nose are the most difficult parts of the face to transplant."[12] Dinoire was also given bone marrow cells to prevent rejection of the tissue.[13] Exactly one year following the partial face transplant, Dinoire stated she had the ability to smile again. On 28 November 2006, Dinoire's surgeon, Bernard Devauchelle, said that over the past year Dinoire's scars had become far less prominent.[14]
There has been a change in her appearance. Her original face had a wide, tilted nose, a prominent chin and thin lips. The donated face has given her a straight and narrow nose, a smaller chin and a fuller mouth. In 2008, Dinoire admitted in an interview that she sometimes struggles to accept the appearance of her transplanted face, as she had expected it to look more like her own, saying: "It takes an awful lot of time to get used to someone else's face." In the same interview, she reported that full sensitivity had returned to her face.[15]
The Associated Press released a picture of Dinoire on 28 November 2006, one year after the operation. The French newspaper Le Monde's website explained on 2 December 2006 that the Associated Press had eliminated the picture, because "The hair of Isabelle Dinoire and the background of this image were manipulated by the source."
For the two-year anniversary, her doctors published an article in the New England Journal of Medicine detailing her operation and recovery. Complications have included kidney failure and two episodes of tissue rejection (one after one month and one after one year),[2] which have been suppressed by drugs.[citation needed] Dinoire will have to take the drugs for the rest of her life. A Boston doctor said if she stopped taking drugs, her scenario would be a "disaster", with the new face sloughing off over time.[16] Part of her pre-operative screening included psychological evaluations to ensure she would be capable of maintaining her treatment regimen and also could accept and withstand the effects of having a dead person's face grafted onto her own.[9]

I would assume they mean to run the ssh server (under cygwin) and then
connect to it from putty (to 'localhost').
I'd not really tried it before but it appears to work fine for me. I
wouldn't call it a "command console" (that name has windows command
shell overtones for me that don't seem appropriate), but it should be
the same as running a cygwin shell in an rxvt window (which seems to be
what you want to replace).
Admittedly, I'm doing this under XP, but I would think Vista to be the
same in this regard

Click here to see KE's Leadership for 2015-2016
The Area Coordinator (AC) is a full-time, non-student staff member who supervises the overall operation of the on-campus apartment community (including all of KE, the Timmer Studios, and Alliance). She is responsible for enacting Residence Life's mission within the apartments. The AC acts as an advisor to the RAs and other apartment professional staff, as well as promotes adherence to community expectations. She works closely with the physical plant staff, as well, to insure well-cared for facilities.
The Assistant Area Coordinator advises student leadership teams for the Knollcrest East apartments, developing programs for social, educational, and spiritual development in cooperation with other departments on campus.
The Resident Assistants (RAs) are students who live in each apartment complex. They are well acquainted with the facilities and services at Calvin and are trained to help residents navigate college life and assist with challenges that may arise.
Each one has demonstrated a desire to share his/her knowledge and experience with others in order to encourage them in their personal and spiritual growth. RAs are responsible for enforcing policies in order to maintain an atmosphere conducive to studying and Christian community. They will also plan activities for their specific apartment complex to encourage community between apartments.
The PAC members' primary focus is planning social events for all the apartments that encourage residents to interact with their community. The PAC team is responsible for Mud Bowl (September), Light in the Night (October), Super Sundae Monday (monthly), and the Spring Banquet (April). They also work with the RAs in planning some educational programs including the Mad Farmer Food Festival. Besides these events, a number of other events happen throughout the year.
The KESO team helps apartment residents get connected with our community partner, ICCF's Family Haven. Family Haven is a local organization that provides temporary housing for families in need. KESO's role with this organization is to provide a weekly time for Calvin students to work with the children of Family Haven through crafts, games, and homework assistance. This partnership could not happen without participation from apartment residents.

The students' names and shoe sizes were submitted early this summer to My New Red Shoes, which created personalized bags for each child as well as provided the gift cards. The district used the event to also distribute information to parents about books and other school matters, as well as to sign up eligible students for the free and reduced meals program.

This is Belt-Tightening on Wall Street: Brown Bag Lunch on the Private Jet
Two years after the financial meltdown and the government rescue of major financial institutions, Wall Street is in cutback mode. Sort of.
This is what austerity looks like in the rarified world of Manhattan private schools and chauffeured cars, as Deal Journal colleague Robert Frank detailed today.
- Wall Street types are flying commercial airplanes to winter getaways such as St. Barts or Aspen, or if they're taking a private plane they are jet-pooling or skipping the pricey catered meals on board. "They're telling me, 'We'll just bring our own lunch,'" Ricky Sitomer, chief executive of private-jet company Blue Star Jets, told Frank.
- Less splurging on Bentleys and other big-ticket items with those year-end bonuses. "We haven't seen them come in yet," said Jeff Drajin of Manhattan Motorcars, which sells Lamborghinis, Bentleys and Lotuses.
- Demand for chartered yachts this winter in the Caribbean – which fetch up to $1 million a week — have been "quite poor," according to Jonathan Beckett, CEO of yacht brokerage firm Burgess
- Amid some signs Wall Street is sowing its oats like it's 2007, there also has been a lot of talk in recent months about Wall Street paring back bonus pay, particularly to hard hit trading desks. One Citigroup banker said colleagues who have been coming out of compensation meetings "look like they've been hit by a truck," according to Frank's story.

SAN JOSE -- A man found Sunday morning slumped in the passenger seat of mud-splattered sport-utility vehicle near Spartan Stadium may have become the city's 37th homicide this year -- and the third in a bloody weekend.
"I wish I could have called earlier," said neighbor Marcos Padilla, who notified police after he saw a body in a parked car. "Maybe I could have saved his life."
Padilla, 36, lives across East Humboldt Street from a row of tennis court parking spaces that belong to San Jose State University. He said other neighbors had discovered the man about 9:30 a.m. Padilla went for a look, saw blood on the man's torso, and then called 911.
Investigators have not revealed the victim's name, pending notification of family. Nor would they say how the man died, or when and where the killing took place.
Padilla described the victim as "Hispanic, about 40. He was wearing black jeans, a black shirt and was wearing motorcycle gloves or something like that."
Whether or not the death turns out to be officially called a San Jose homicide, the city appears to be on track to exceed last year's 46 homicides, the most in 20 years.
"It's too many homicides," Mayor Chuck Reed said. "One homicide is too many."
But he noted that gang-related killings have come down, and that San Jose still has a lower homicide rate than other similar-sized cities. He praised the work of police: "The men and women of the Police Department are working really hard," he said. And in clearing cases and catching criminals, "they have a great success rate, because of the help from the community."
Campus matter
Near Spartan Stadium on Sunday, city police arrived first, followed by a team of paramedics who pulled the man from the vehicle and tried to resuscitate him. Meanwhile, city police officers informed the university that the crime scene was actually on college property.
Sgt. John Laws, a university police spokesman, said the victim was not a student and that the vehicle did not have a university parking permit. Law said the death was the fourth homicide on college property during his two decades on the force.
"This is a pretty big deal for us," Laws said. "You're going to get just about everybody in the department out here."
The homicide brought out San Jose State Police Chief Peter Decena, university detectives and administrators. In addition, a host of city detectives and patrolmen joined in sorting out the preliminary evidence, roping off East Humboldt Street and interviewing neighbors, including Padilla. Because the city tallies only homicides handled by its police force, the latest killing has not been added to the count because it is being investigated by San Jose State police.
For most of the morning and afternoon, Humboldt Street residents could not leave or enter their homes. Outsiders who had parked their cars in the lots could not get to them. For several hours, the body lay inexplicably uncovered, next to the vehicle, in clear view of neighborhood children and adults.
"Why can't they cover the body?" one woman complained. "There are kids out here!"
Some neighbors described the college parking area as a nighttime magnet for outsiders who loiter, drink, consume and buy drugs, and even have sex.
"This is a nice neighborhood," Humboldt Street resident Isela Alanis said. "The only thing is the outsiders who come in for their little swaps."
Laws said he would note their concerns about security around the tennis courts in his report to university officials. The last homicides on campus were the double-slaying of a man and woman at a university garage in October 2011.
Bloody weekend
Although Padilla said he saw what appeared to be two bullet wounds, university spokesmen said they will let the Santa Clara County Medical Examiner's Office determine the cause of death.
The unidentified man's death comes just after the arrest of a suspect in the city's 36th homicide, which happened Saturday.
Police did not identify that suspect, but Sgt. Heather Randol said he was booked into Santa Clara County Jail on suspicion of homicide hours after police found 39-year-old Martha Casillas stabbed to death in the 600 block of Dakota Drive in southeast San Jose.
Tall shade trees planted decades ago grace the small street, but many of original one-car garages at the ranch-style homes have been refurbished into bedrooms. The result is a street packed in with cars.
A young woman and older man at the Dakota Drive house declined to comment Sunday morning about the fatal stabbing.
"We really don't want to talk about it," said the woman from behind dark metal doors at the house. The man abruptly added, "We're down in the dumps here!"
Police were called to Dakota Drive at 10:38 p.m. Saturday, Randol said.
Casillas had been stabbed at least once, and she was pronounced dead at the scene. Police also said she knew her killer.
In another killing, on Friday, Anthony Zumini, 46, was fatally shot on the 900 block of Gilchrist Drive, near Interstate 680 and Mabury Road in the Berryessa neighborhood. Police made an arrest Saturday in that case, the city's 35th homicide of the year, but have not yet released the suspect's name.

Sighting Details
This morning at about 1:10 am my 25 year old daughter and I were walking around the corner to my mother's house where my daughter lives . As we started to walk down the street we noticed a light on a telephone pole . The light would pulsate for a few seconds and then stop only to start pulsating again . As we walked we saw the light move to the cooler on top of a neighbors house and then move to a tree in the next door neighbor's yard . At first we thought the light was coming from a police car on the road but the light we saw was not red and blue . We continued to walk towards my mother's house and we watched the light move from the next door neighbor's yard to another neighbors tree . Each time we passed a tree the light went to another tree . As we approached my mom's yard we saw the light near the top of two Italian Spruce trees that are in my mom's yard . We went into the back yard to see if we could find what was causing the light but we could not see anything that would cause the lights . As we watched though we saw the light move on to some trees that are across a horse pasture from my mom's yard . While we were standing on the porch we realized that there was no sounds coming from anywhere . There are dogs in nearly every yard and the dogs bark anytime people or other dogs walk passed but they were not barking at all . We live on a hiway and there were no sounds coming from there either . I watched until my daughter was in the house and had locked the door and then I started walking home . We couldn't explain why but the light we were seeing made us very uncomfortable . We were getting scared . But, as I walked home I took one more look to the street to see if there was a source for the light there but again I saw nothing that would have caused the light . I looked back at where the light had last been and the light was gone but just then I heard what I can only describe as a whooshing humming sound .The light has just disappeared when I heard the whooshing humming sound . We were so startled by what we had seen that we didn't think to take pictures of it but today my daughter went out to see where the light had been on the spruce trees and there is a hole in the branches of one of the trees and the branches are hanging down as though they had been bent over or broken . I don't know if that was caused by the light or whatever made the light but we never noticed that hole in the tree before .

Opinion: Whatever you think of the bedroom tax, the policy is causing problems in practice
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Central Government, Communities, Regulation

By Steve Wilcox, former professor of housing policy at the University of York, and author of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation's bedroom tax report
The government's 'bedroom tax' penalises social housing tenants if they are deemed to be under-occupying their homes - with some losing up to 25% of their housing benefit.
It has now been operational for a year, and the evidence on its impacts in practice is beginning to gather. It has achieved savings for DWP; but rather less than forecast. The numbers of households subject to size criteria benefit limits were lower than anticipated, and are declining – but only partly due to tenant and landlord responses to the size criteria.
Initially the DWP forecast housing benefit savings of £480 million in 2013/14, against which is made provision for £35m – later increased to £55m – for discretionary housing payments for households where the size criteria limits would result in hardship.
Those provisions were particularly aimed at households with a disability living in dwellings specifically adapted to meet their requirements, but more generally available for households where local authorities considered that the size criteria limits were not appropriate to the households circumstances.
From day one the numbers of households impacted were some 100,000 less than the forecast 660,000 – with limited evidence to suggest that landlord and tenant actions in anticipation of the limits were anything more than a very minor contribution to the lower outturn numbers.
By November the numbers subject to the limits had fallen to just under 500,000. About a half of that reduction can be accounted for by tenants moving to smaller accommodation – mainly in the social rented sector, but in some cases to the private rented sector.
A small number of those initially impacted (about 1%) moved off housing benefit as a result of moving into work, or increasing their earnings. However, as this occurred during a period of economic recovery and falling claimant unemployment, and as even in normal times many households work and other circumstances are fluid rather than fixed, it cannot be presumed that those movements into work were necessarily a response to the size criteria limits.
Whatever view is taken of the principles underlying the policy there are a number of aspects of its operation that are clearly problematic. The use of short-term discretionary funds for households with disabilities in adapted dwellings, and where additional rooms are required either because it is not appropriate for a disabled person to share a bedroom, or that space is required for equipment related to their disability, is far from ideal.
The size criteria – which are essentially derived from a 1960 social survey bedroom standard (with minor amendments) - also fail to take any account of bedroom sizes, and assume that any bedroom is available to be shared. But many social sector dwellings have single bedrooms that the statutory overcrowding provisions consider too small to be shared.
A further difficulty is that the policy is inflexible in the face of the varying patterns of housing demand and the size distribution of stock across the regions and countries of Britain. Overall after the first six months of its operation there were some 100,000 tenants who had registered for a move, but were unable to secure a move because of the limited supply of smaller dwellings.
That adjustment is set to take years to resolve, and even longer in those areas where the mismatch between supply and demand for smaller dwellings is at its greatest. Meanwhile the policy has imposed substantial hardship on the tenants unable to move, or where the criteria does not fully recognise their space requirements, and a range of related costs for landlords, as well as rent arrears for about a half of the tenants subject to the limits.
The size criteria policy accounts for only a very small part of the total £19 billion annual savings to the welfare budget from the range of welfare reforms and cuts; but it has been one of the most controversial elements within those reforms.
Without amendments to deal with the most problematic impacts of the policy, those controversies look set to continue.

All r rocking. From which location u took shots of 4th & 6th.
its really Awesome..... and graffics amaazing.... keep it up brother.....
Thanks guys, appreciate the love :)
I didn't use a DSLR, I used my point and shoot Panasonic ZS3 (great little camera) and the timer function (no tripod yet!) for most of the shots.
The secret is a tripod or the timer function and in situations when you can't use a tripod you should try continuous shots mode or burst mode and take like 3 shots at a time and keep your hands steady.
I also notice a lot of people ignore ISO and shutter speeds, you should experiment with those and forget about the automatic mode.
This is my first (semi-real) camera and this is actually my second attempt, the first night I used auto mode and didn't use the timer function and the shots looked great on my 3" camera screen but on my computer they looked awful. The next night I tried experimenting with my modest manual mode, played with the ISO and shutter speeds and took multiple shots of the same scene and the ones I posted are the best I got out of hundred or so shots.
I used Photoshop to correct the gamma and to fix some crooked horizon lines and resized them, that's it.
Location 4 is at the beach next to the diplomatic club.
Location 6 is in the corniche exactly next to albandar seafood restaurant.
I will post more as soon as I go on another shooting spree :)
keep it up
soon u will be the best one
first & fourth are nice...
great pics :)

As I check the balance on my checking account, I can't help frowning. With almost two months to the day left before the movie comes out, how am I going to afford all of this Hunger Games stuff?!
Confession: I have already pre-ordered 6 of the 12 nail polishes from the Colours From The Capitol line. And I want more. It's taking all of my willpower to not go back to that site and buy 3 more colors because now that I've seen the Teen Vogue preview of the polishes, I like them more than I thought I did.
And the announcement from WizKids Games! I'm a grown-up, and I'm already planning where I'd put the figurines on my bookshelf. And I could totally see myself owning either of the games. My friends and I regularly play a Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone board game still so I know I would hardly have a difficult time find people to play these games with.
I already have 3 Hunger Games shirts, a Mockingjay pin and a snazzy bracelet I bought at Comikaze, not to mention the gifts I got for Christmas this year. And we have yet to be inundated with actual movie merch. That will come sometime in this 2 month period, after which my bank account will hate me.
I'm bracing myself

Dreamliner suffers further setback after fire on board
Much-vaunted Boeing aircraft hit by battery fire in Boston - latest in series of technical problems
EDITORS NOTE, 11 JAN 2013: Since this article was published, the US Federal Aviation Administration has ordered an investigation into the Boeing 787 Dreamliner because of fears over its safety. The review will look at the design and manufacture of the planes.
THE TROUBLED Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft suffered yet another setback in its fledgling existence when a fire broke out on board a Japan Airlines flight shortly after it landed in Boston.
The Dreamliner, which entered service on October 2011, has suffered a series of technical problems and mishaps since its launch as a fuel-efficient eco-friendly plane for the modern age.
The flight from Tokyo had just touched down in Boston when a fire broke out from a battery which had overheated in the belly of the plane. No passengers or crew were hurt, reports the Daily Mail, because they had already disembarked.
However, experts say the incident was serious enough to put another dent in the image of the Dreamliner plane.
"I don't want to be an alarmist, but on-board fires on airplanes are as bad as it gets," Carter Leake, an analyst at BB&T Capital Markets said. "Even though it happened on the ground, rest assured the Federal Aviation Administration is asking 'What if it happened in the air?' "
In July 2012 the plane's British-built Rolls Royce engine failed during tests and Nippon Airways grounded all five of its Dreamliners. There was a problem with the gearbox, and a similar problem was found on another aircraft in September.
In December 2012 there were three incidents in a month. A United Airlines Dreamliner diverted safely to New Orleans after experiencing mechanical problems; Qatar Airways grounded one of its three 787 jets because of the same problem; and on 17 December United reported that a second 787 in its fleet had developed electrical issues.
"This is an extremely serious situation," Kevin Hiatt, a former pilot and vice president with the Flight Safety Foundation, told CNN.
Boeing spokesman Marc Birtel said: "We are aware of the event and are working with our customer", while the US National Transportation Safety Board announced it was opening an investigation.

ef – a tale of memories – 12
December 30, 2007 | Author: Adun | In: Anime Blogs, ef - a tale of memories
With the last episode ending with a twist, I was hoping for something dramatic to happen in order for Chihiro to remember Renji, so I'm a little disappointed in which Chihiro had not forgotten about Renji at all. But as the saying goes, it's not th result that matters, it's the journey. Renji's state of depression over Chihiro's choice to forget him I believe is better than say Hirono's choice of having to chose between Kei and Miyako, and much more dramatic. But I also believe that Renji's resolve and the advice that he received had a better effect than Hirono's as well.
Hirono's talk with Yuuko lacked the impact and it felt that the problem he faced was something more simple and that it resolved rather quickly. But in Renji's case, he had the two opinions of Yuu and Kuze, and each have their two different beliefs. Of course both had their impact on Renji, but his resolve to do something was when he discovered Chihiro's true feelings about forgetting Renji. At that point he knew he had to do something and it was only him that can help Chihiro. Although collecting the pages was all for nothing, it was the effort that he put in, the effort that he decided to take that one step and bring back Chihiro that he knows. But if there was one thing I didn't like was Chihiro's restraining chains breaking so fast. I think it would have been better if it did it at a slower pace, but that's just my opinion.
The epilogue does a good job of showing that everyone has taken that step forward and they are happy with their respective partners, well except for Kei and Kyousuke, but since her recent conflict and recovery from Hirono, it would be too fast for the two to be together. I find it rather strange how they seem to be all gathered together in the conclusion, but their stories really don't link together at all. Although I do like how Yuu and Yuuko had finally meet in the end, but I'm still not satisfied in which their relationship is shrouded in mystery, but that probably means that their story isn't really a key part of the overall series.
Ending Sequence 5
ED5: "Yūkyū no Tsubasa 07mix" by Yumiko Nakajima
Final Impressions
When I first heard of ef being made into an anime, I had some pretty high expectations as games produced by Minori are usually deep with a well-written story. At a glance, ef – a tale of memories appears to be just another visual novel turned anime, and it's true. But what differs ef from other series is the story on where they took a simplistic romance story and changed it to something much more extraordinary via the way the story was presented. With the original ef – a fairy tale of the two game using dark colours and with a lot of shadow tones, SHAFT had taken this to their advantage and produced a different type of storytelling than you would get from other visual novel type series. The use of abstraction helped bring out the characters emotions as well as their personalities, and by matching it with the dialogue, it gave it such a unique, but superb feel to it.
By far, I would also have to say that the soundtrack to ef is by far the best one I've heard for 2007. Tenmon must have worked closely with SHAFT and brought out the raw emotions of the show through the music and the scenes that were playing. Each of the girls ending sequences were very fitting for their personalities, but I would have to say Kei's ending sequence is the best out of the three, followed by Chihiro's, and then Miyako's. But right now, I find Chihiro's ending theme to be the best out of the three as it feels epic to me for some reason, but I think the tune of it matches the overshadowing theme of Chihiro's memory disorder.
I could say that ef was indeed a rather unique and brilliant series, but it is far from being perfect. Initially at the start I did find the switching between the two stories to be rather annoying and seemed to make the series rather jagged. Not to mention that it feels that majority of the series was focused on the Renji x Chihiro side of things, and a lot of the time its the same recurring theme. However everything started to pick up about halfway through the series as we started to see the conflicts between characters and the problems that they are facing. That is until the concluding of each story which ended in a less dramatic way than I had anticipated.
Overall I found this to be one of the best series of the Fall 2007 season, but an honorable mention would have to go to Myself Yourself as well if it didn't end so abruptly and if it weren't for the 10 year time jump. Even though ef – a tale of memories did lack in the development of smaller characters like Yuu and Yuuko, it did flesh out the main ones rather well. Plus with the story switching between the two, it makes it seems like two separate stories in the one series. So a great series, but not something I would remember entirely, unless you want a break from the usual visual novel to anime series and something a bit more deeper in story. But if anything, it's the music you'll want to remember from watching this series.

A Poem by Erundur Anwamehtar
Date Written: 08/16/2002
Usually I see the skid's
results written in the pavement
but the life affected has fled
I never knew where or
whose power took them.
Today, as I held the wheel,
my control kept fragile balance
until I removed a hand
in search of a different tune
to drive to.
I looked up
and thrice swerved
faster than three thoughts
The last attempt of mine
to stay on course
left me facing traffic
with a stalled engine.
No reflex is automatic
until fear grips its trigger.
I turned the key,
drove onto the shoulder,
removed myself
from the vehicle
and lost all calmness.
Everything was normal,
except my ego,
bruised by the view.
A layer of tire freshly unpeeled
lied on the surface,
its smell wafting around the car.
I got back in.
Was I lucky? No.
It was through no power
of mine.

Business Roundtable Prods House on Immigration
The country's top chief executives are carefully nudging the House to get moving on a broad effort to rewrite U.S. immigration laws.
With the Senate in the throes of debate over a comprehensive immigration bill, the Business Roundtable – an association of chief executives from major companies – prodded House leadership Monday to keep up the immigration-overhaul momentum.
"We're at the threshold of a potential watershed moment," Greg Brown, chief executive of Motorola Solutions Inc. and head of BRT's immigration committee, said in an interview. "We want to keep that momentum."
Mr. Brown wrote to House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) Monday, urging them to push forward with a plan that improves security, provides a path for legal immigrants to work in the U.S. and offers a solution that will allow illegal immigrants to integrate into U.S. society.
"Whether the House works through a series of bills or one complete legislative package, we encourage you to make successful consideration of immigration reform a top priority," Mr. Brown wrote, on behalf of the BRT. The letter was also sent to each member of the House of Representatives.
The letter is part of the business group's effort to ramp up its focus on the House, where immigration legislation faces a murky future. House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R., Va.) is pushing forward with a series of piecemeal bills, while a bipartisan group of seven congressmen is attempting to craft comprehensive legislation.
Last week, Mr. Brown and other BRT members who focus on immigration met with Mr. Goodlatte for an hour, but the chairman didn't provide details on his timeline or whether he would take up comprehensive legislation.
Mr. Brown was careful not to criticize the House's progress, saying he is "cautiously optimistic" and "respectful of the House process." But he was more optimistic about the pace in the Senate, where Democratic leadership has pledged to vote on an immigration bill before the one-week recess for the Fourth of July holiday.
"We just want to make sure that, as things proceed, that the House and the Senate come together around a reasonably similar timeline to ensure that we get immigration reform done this year," Mr. Brown said. "Obviously the Senate got a head start."
As the push heats up in the Senate, the business group also encouraged its members to pitch their senators on the benefits of an immigration overhaul.
The Business Roundtable voiced its support for an immigration overhaul earlier this year but it hasn't picked a side on one of the thorniest issues: whether to offer a path to citizenship for 11 million unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. A staff member at the business association said the group understands that lawmakers will have to work that issue out among themselves.

Thanks, added him in a 16 team league hope he is a diamond in the rough
If you are upset for missing out on Yasiel Puig or you didn't anticipate Tampa prospect Wil Meyers now is your time to take a chance on the newly called up outfielder for the New York Yankees, Zoilo Almonte. At this moment he just hit a home run and is 3/3 for what has been a horrid hitting Yankees team in June. This shakeup will be appreciated by Yankees fans. Knee jerk reaction? Possibly, but given the hype of all these other phenoms and the extent of the Yankees injuries this could be a huge play!
Vernon Wells will likely get the preference left handed pitching at bats, but if this switch hitter gets hot then Girardi will need to go out of his way to keep him in the lineup. Jason Nix in the second spot certainly isn't ideal at this point and Granderson will need time to transition after such a long layoff. By the time September rolls around Almonte may be the consistent outfielder in an always competitive Yankees lineup.
Thanks, added him in a 16 team league hope he is a diamond in the rough
I'm skeptical. Where did this dude come from? He wasn't listed on any pre-season website as a top prospect. He wasn't even listed in any top-10 Yankees prospect list.

It isn't an exaggeration to say that the only thing predictable about winter in Ohio is its unpredictability. While snow is a logical expectation at any time from November until March (and sometimes April), sudden storms and deep-freeze temperatures -- polar vortex is the latest addition to our meteorological vocabulary -- can add to the season's woes.
Winter's mercurial ways can pose a challenge for schools, too. Those that choose to close their doors in the interest of student safety must draw upon their reserve of five "calamity days" -- days set aside for emergencies -- to provide students with an excused absence without falling below the minimum number of days required to complete the school year.
Many school districts have exhausted their quota of calamity days, and unless the Ohio legislature agrees to provide schools with more of them, make-up days will have to be added to the calendar. That could mean longer school days, Saturday classes, elimination of spring break or the extension of the school year into mid-June.
House Bill 416 would add up to four additional calamity days, which could help many districts avoid having to extend classes. The House has passed the bill, which is now before the Ohio Senate.
The House vote had been delayed because Republicans were divided on whether to provide schools with extra days off.
Gov. John Kasich, the father of two school-age daughters, is among those in favor of extending the number of calamity days. Other proponents have expressed concern about the possibility of extending the school year later in June because keeping the doors open would mean additional costs to schools.
The House Education Committee signed off on HB 416, but its chairman, State Rep. Gerald Stebelton of Lancaster, had said some members question allowing students more time off with nothing in return, as Stebleton put it, "no education for children and a lot more money being spent for educating children that you're not educating."
Stebleton had raised the option of a compromise that would enable districts to make up lost days on Saturdays -- which is unlikely to be a popular option for youngsters and teachers -- or extending the school day to account for lost time. Another option that some districts already are utilizing would be to arrange for students to make up coursework online or by sending "blizzard bags" home with students so they can complete their lessons.
The point some members of Stebleton's committee raises is a valid one. Youngsters in Ohio are expected to be in school for a designated number of days in order to fulfill their academic requirements; extending the school days might be an option. But we question penalizing schools by imposing additional costs on them if the school year must be extended because of the weather. We don't quarrel with the idea of accountability, but the unpredictability of an Ohio winter also ought to be taken into account by legislators as they consider HB 416.

The Return of Sherlock Holmes
by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The Return of Sherlock Holmes Science Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Story.Paragraph) or (Story.Section.Paragraph) if applicable.
Quote #4
"Ah! my dear Watson, there we come into those realms of conjecture, where the most logical mind may be at fault. Each may form his own hypothesis upon the present evidence, and yours is as likely to be correct as mine." (Empty House.2.23)
Even when Holmes is departing from the "realm of logic" he still uses and relies on the scientific method, with his reference to a hypothesis. It's notable that Holmes is talking about determining human motives here. Human behavior often departs from logic.
Quote #5
"That it was written in a train. The good writing represents stations, the bad writing movement, and the very bad writing passing over points. A scientific expert would pronounce at once that this was drawn up on a suburban line [....]" (Norwood Builder.61)
Holmes's use of handwriting analysis points to how forensic science was evolving and becoming more widespread and accepted in this period.
Quote #6
"I am a practical man, Mr. Holmes, and when I have got my evidence I come to my conclusions." (Norwood Builder.143)
Though it seems like Holmes would be down with Lestrade's statement here, Holmes is actually a big fan of theory and of never taking evidence at face value. Evidence has to be picked apart and turned around before it can produce any sort of conclusion. And Holmes sometimes works backwards too, theorizing first and then proving or disproving the theory based on evidence.
