Ohio Northern University to recognize academic achievement at Honors Day
Ohio Northern University celebrates its annual Honors Day program on Saturday, April 27, from 8:15 a.m. until 5 p.m.
This year's Honors Day continues the rich tradition of ONU's colleges and departments recognizing students and faculty members for scholarly achievement and service to the University community. More than 40 undergraduate academic departments and honor societies will present awards and induct new members.
The T.J. Smull College of Engineering will mark the 43rd year of its engineering ring ceremony. This prestigious ceremony inducts students into the Order of the Engineer, a roster of U.S. engineers who have publicly accepted the "Obligation of an Engineer." The Order was initiated in the United States in 1970 to foster a spirit of pride and responsibility in the engineering profession, to bridge the gap between training and experience, and to present the public with a visible symbol identifying the engineer.
In a prelude to commencement, an Honors Day Convocation, which includes ceremonial elements such as an academic procession, inspirational messages and celebratory music, begins at 11 a.m. in the University's Sports Center.
Dr. M.J. "Sunny" Zank, professor of music, will be the featured speaker at the convocation. Zank's topic will be "Mentor, Mentor, Pass It On." Caroline Mangan, a senior marketing major from Garrettsville, Ohio, will be the featured student speaker.
Following the convocation, a luncheon to honor students and their parents and faculty will be held at 12:15 p.m. in the Sports Center.

|Places of interest in Munich and the immediate surroundings
Munich's skyline with the Alps in the background (Source: Tourismusamt München, 2011)
Touristic Program
Dear conference participants and guests,
Welcome to Munich, world city with heart. As an ancient residence of secular and spiritual leaders, Munich offers a whole series of sights, recreation facilities and shopping possibilities, which can be reached easily on foot or by public transportation. Also Munich's surrounding countryside offers many beautiful as well as many historic places of interest.
Below you find proposals that will certainly offer something for everyone's taste. Where requested, we ask you to make an appropriate reservation, that we can inform our external service providers. In most cases, registration and payment will be carried out through our conference homepage according to special conditions we have negotiated with the service providers. We reserve the right to cancel offers, if the minimum number of participants is not reached. Please be aware of the information about registration deadlines, cancellations and reimbursement of costs posted on our conference webpage (follow the link "Registration"). You can also book these trips directly through the homepages of our service providers if you prefer to join the trips at a different time or if you would like to organize them by yourself.
Please consider visiting the "Weiβe Rose" ("White Rose") memorial sites, located within the atrium of the Ludwig-Maximilian-University's main building, as well as outside the building at the "Geschwister-Scholl-Platz".
Together with her brother Hans Scholl, Christoph Probst and others, Sophie Scholl called the Germans for a passive resistance against Hitler and the Nazis in 1942/43. The group of young students of the Ludwig-Maximilian-University (LMU) designed six leaflets under the name of the "Weiβe Rose" ("White Rose"). The sixth and last of those leaflets would be their undoing, when they distributed it to the students on February 18th 1943 at the university. They were caught by the Gestapo and arrested.
Together with her brother Hans Scholl and Christoph Probst, Sophie was executed in the afternoon of February 22nd 1943 by guillotine. The three resistance fighters still lie buried in the cemetery close to the "Perlacher Forst". At the "Geschwister-Scholl-Platz", in front of the Ludwig-Maximilian-University's main building, you can still find the former leaflets embedded in the ground (Source: Tourismusamt München, 2011).

One of Los Angeles's most successful African-American artists, Charles White had solidified his reputation as a leading social realist painter before settling in Southern California in 1956. He was a gifted draftsman, and this skill provided the foundation for his teaching at Otis Art Institute and for his work, which explored the triumphs and struggles of the African-American experience. White studied lithography at Taller de Gráfica in Mexico City as early as 1947, and he was one of the only artists of color to work at Tamarind and Gemini. His skill in the medium is readily apparent here in a symbolic portrait whose title, coupled with the pleading expression of the young boy, suggests his potential future. White considered the positive and negative treatment of the lithograph as one unit, and he achieved the subtle gradations of shading and texture through a sophisticated combination of tusche, water, crayon and rubbing ink, scraped down with a razor blade.

- Romney, Obama Respond On Key Agriculture Issues
- Estate Tax
- Biodiesel
- Biotechnology
- Trade
- Research
- Regulations
- Transportation and Infrastructure
With the national spotlight on the race for the White House, the American Soybean Association (ASA) reached out to President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney for each candidate's points of view on issues critical to soybean farmers. President Obama and Governor Romney offered their positions on the farm bill and crop insurance, estate tax, biodiesel, biotechnology, trade, research, regulations, and transportation and infrastructure.
Read their full responses below.
More About:
Farm Bill & Crop Insurance
In the midst of the worst drought in a generation, soybean farmers need risk management tools and the certainty that a comprehensive farm bill provides. In addition to being the first bipartisan bill to take concrete steps toward deficit reduction, the bill includes disaster assistance, strengthens crop insurance, provides for conservation programs, market development at home and abroad, investment in renewable fuels like soy biodiesel, nutrition and feeding programs and countless other programs that directly and indirectly help soybean farmers and American agriculture as a whole remain viable and competitive in a growing global marketplace. How would your administration work to ensure that this bill is passed and the integrity of these programs remains intact?
President Obama: I know that any farm bill passed this year – and there needs to be a farm bill passed this year – needs to have adequate protections and certainty for America's farmers. That's why I have called for maintaining a strong crop insurance program and an extended disaster assistance program. Instead of making soybean farmers pay more for crop insurance, as House Republicans have proposed, we will do it by cutting subsidies to crop insurance companies and better targeting conservation program funding. We need a strong farm safety net for all of America's farmers. That's why I increased the availability of crop insurance and emergency disaster assistance to help over 590,000 farmers and ranchers keep their farms in business after natural disasters and crop loss. My administration has also expanded farm credit to help more than 100,000 farmers struggling during the financial crisis to keep their family farms and provide for their families. And as farmers continue to go through hard times because of this drought, we are expanding access to low-interest loans, encouraging insurance companies to extend payment deadlines and opening new lands for livestock farmers to graze their herds. I endorsed the bipartisan Senate Farm Bill and intend to do everything I can to get a comprehensive and long-term farm bill sent to my desk. Now, the House needs to do its part and pass this bill. Protecting American farmers is too important to let it slip through our fingers.
Governor Romney: I support passage of a strong farm bill that provides the appropriate risk management tools that will work for farmers and ranchers throughout the country. In the near term, my immediate priority should be given to enacting disaster relief for those not traditionally covered by crop insurance as this year's drought has worsened. My running mate, Congressman Paul Ryan voted for this relief in the House. Unfortunately, the Democrat-controlled Senate went home for August break without enacting them. On the broader question of farm programs, we must be cognizant that our agricultural producers are competing with other nations around the world. Other nations subsidize their farmers, so we must be careful not to unilaterally change our policies in a way that would disadvantage agriculture here in our country. In addition, we want to make sure that we don't ever find ourselves in a circumstance where we depend on foreign nations for our food the way we do with energy. Ultimately, it is in everyone's interest is achieve a level playing field on which American farmers can compete.

"The pentagon uses, on average, about 666 rolls of toilet paper every day."
I sure hope I'm not starting some new Apocalyptic conspiracy theory by mentioning that, though.
Why am I mentioning it, you ask? Hell if I know. Just some silly factoid I ran across after I saw this story:
Presidential Campaigns Cost $2 Billion
Two billion! Oh, my God!
That story, by the way, details some of the big money going to Republicans and Mitt Romney, but says nothing about money spent on Obama and the Democrats. Go figure.
Anyway. I remember reading, in election years past, that Americans spend more on toilet paper annually than on the presidential election. I became curious, and found:
Twenty-six billion rolls of toilet paper, worth about US$2.4 billion, are sold yearly in America alone.
Two-point-four billion. That's more, America. We spend more money wiping our butts than we do choosing the Leader of the Free World!
But that's Wikipedia, which I don't completely trust, and also a couple of years old. My usual amount (5 minutes or so) of internet research was, unfortunately, not enough to answer the question "how much do Americans spend annually on toilet paper" to any degree of certitude (although I did find this interesting data at the Census Bureau's website), but: if we spent $2 billion on the presidential elections, that comes to about $6.50 per person in the U.S.
$6.50 is almost enough to buy a 12-pack of Charmin Sensitive, and more than enough to buy a 12-pack of Angel Soft Double Rolls at your local Wal-Mart.
So the question is: do you use more than a 12-pack of toilet paper in a given year? If so, you spent more on toilet paper than on the election. If not, then you use less than one roll per month, and should really see a doctor.
Fiber, man! Eat some fiber!
But back to this post's title. During my extensive research, I also found:
Proving that yes, no matter what the subject, somebody somewhere is writing about it on the web.
How was toilet paper used in the Desert Storm War?
The military used toilet paper to camouflage their tanks in Saudi Arabia, during the Desert Storm War.
Really? Weird. Were they supposed to look like turbans?

It's a part of my paleo fantasy, it's a part of my paleo dream
There are many fallacies that undergird alternative medicine, which evolved into "complementary and alternative medicine" (CAM), and for which the preferred term among its advocates is now "integrative medicine," meant to imply the "best of both worlds." If I had to pick one fallacy that rules above all among proponents of CAM/IM, it would have to be either the naturalistic fallacy (i.e., that if it's natural—whatever that means—it must be better) or the fallacy of antiquity (i.e., that if it's really old, it must be better). Of course, the two fallacies are not unrelated. In the minds of CAM proponents, old is more likely to have been based on nature, and the naturalistic fallacy often correlates with the fallacy of antiquity. Basically, it's a rejection of modernity, and from it flow the interest in herbalism, various religious practices rebranded as treatments (thousands of years ago, medicine was religion and religion was medicine—the two were more or less one and physicians were often priests as well), and the all-consuming fear of "toxins," in which it is thought that the products of modernity are poisoning us.
Yes, there is a definite belief underlying much of CAM that technology and pharmaceuticals are automatically bad and that "natural" must be better. Flowing from that belief is the belief that people were happier and much healthier in the preindustrial, preagricultural past, that cardiovascular disease was rare or nonexistent, and that cancer was seldom heard of. Of course, it's hard not to note that cancer and heart disease are primarily diseases of aging, and life expectancy was so much lower back in the day that a much smaller percentage of the population lived to advanced ages than is the case today. Even so, an implicit assumption among many CAM advocates is that cardiovascular disease is largely a disease of modern lifestyle and diet and that, if modern humans could somehow mimic preindustrial or, according to some, even preagricultural, lifestyles, that cardiovascular disease could be avoided. Not infrequently, evolutionary and genomic arguments are invoked, claiming that the estimated 10,000 years since the dawn of human agriculture is not a sufficiently long period of time for us to have evolved to handle diets rich in grains and meats and that we are "genetically wired" to exist on a diet like those of our paleolithic hunter-gatherer ancestors. For instance, in 2004, James H. O'Keefe Jr, MD and Loren Cordain, PhD wrote an article in the Mayo Proceedings entitled Cardiovascular Disease Resulting From a Diet and Lifestyle at Odds With Our Paleolithic Genome: How to Become a 21st-Century Hunter-Gatherer that asserted in essence, just that. Over the last decade, Cordain has become the most prominent promoter of the so-called "Paleo diet," having written The Paleo Diet: Lose Weight and Get Healthy by Eating the Foods You Were Designed to Eat and multiple other books advocating a paleolithic-mimetic diet as the cure for what ails modern humans. Meanwhile, diets thought to reflect what our hunter-gatherer ancestors ate, such as the Paleo Diet consisting largely of animal and fish that can be hunted and fruits and vegetables that can be foraged for in the wild, have been promoted as a near-panacea for the chronic diseases of aging, such as cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Young heroes
BERLIN Parent Josh Badger hadnt felt completely well for several days, but never expected to be crediting his three elementary school aged children with the 9-1-1 phone call that may have saved his life.
Badger began to feel acutely ill after a family outing to a local restaurant on March 23. The first signs of trouble were difficulty with his vision, namely, seeing multiples of objects. After arriving home his children helped him remove his coat and boots and sit down. Minutes later, Badger reports he had a seizure, striking his head on the family piano and landing unconscious on the floor.
Badgers three children, Cole, 11, Clay, 10, and Chelsea, 8, all students at Berlin Elementary, took immediate action.
I was in the kitchen and heard someone fall, Cole Badger said. And then I saw Chelsea pointing to our dad.
What the children didnt realize was that several days of illness had resulted in their fathers dehydration and inability to keep down his anti-seizure medication, and that his body no longer contained the therapeutic medication level necessary to prevent seizures.
It was Clay Badger who placed the potentially life-saving 911 phone call to Emergency Medical Services. I told them that my dad had a seizure, then I told them where we lived, Clay Badger said.
As Clay Badger remained on the line and answered a series of questions from the emergency dispatcher, Cole Badger put the familys dogs in another room and Chelsea Badger stayed near her father. For several minutes, until the arrival of the ambulance, the three took turns tending to their father, who remained unconscious. Clay Badger went outside to flag down emergency responders.
Josh Badger awoke during his ambulance ride to the hospital and is on track to make a full recovery.
I knew it would eventually happen, he said of having a seizure with his children present. We had a plan for what to do in the event that we were in the car, but not for this.
They are my heroes, Josh Badger said of his children during an interview from the Berlin School. They are amazing. I can never repay them enough.

Performance Evaluation Reform Act (PERA)
and Senate Bill 7
Latest News
- Approved Providers of OAED PERA Training for Board Members(5/19/16)
- PERA Implementation Guidance Documents
Board member training that satisfies Section 10-16a of the Illinois School Code (added by Public Act 097-0008) is available via the Illinois Association of School Board's Online Learning Center. Senate Bill 7 authorizes ISAB to conduct this mandatory training and additional providers may be approved by ISBE (in consultation with IASB) for this training in the future. Additional information and course information is available at on the IASB website, http://www.iasb.com/.
The Performance Evaluation Reform Act (PERA) (Senate Bill 315; Public Act 96-0861) was passed by the Illinois General Assembly and signed by the Governor in January 2010. In summary, PERA requires, among other things, that:
- Upon the implementation date applicable to a school district or other covered entity, performance evaluations of the principals/assistant principals and teachers of that school district or other covered entity must include data and indicators of student growth as a "significant factor".
- By September 1, 2012, principals, assistant principals, teachers in contractual continued service (i.e., tenured teachers) and probationary teachers (i.e., nontenured teachers) be evaluated using a four rating category system (Excellent, Proficient, Needs Improvement, and Unsatisfactory).
- Anyone undertaking an evaluation after September 1, 2012 must first complete a pre-qualification program provided or approved by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE).
PERA established the Performance Evaluation Advisory Council (PEAC) comprised of teachers, principals, superintendents and other interested stakeholders to advise ISBE on the development and implementation of improved performance evaluation systems and supports. The PEAC has been meeting monthly in Bloomington, Illinois and will continue to do so through 2017. The PEAC web page, which includes a substantial amount of helpful information, can be found at: http://www.isbe.net/peac/. Recently, the PEAC has provided ISBE with recommendations for minimum standards for principal/assistant principal and teacher evaluations as well as "model" principal/assistant principal and teacher evaluations. At its November 19, 2011 meeting, and based on the recommendations of the PEAC, the ISBE approved administrative rules to be published for public comment (the "PERA Administrative Rules"). ISBE expects that the PERA Administrative Rules would take effect, with any revisions based on public comment, around February or March of 2011.
Meanwhile, from late 2010 through April 2011, education stakeholders negotiated an education reform bill that stemmed in part from PERA. The bill was Senate Bill 7 and was signed into law by the Governor on June 13, 2011. Senate Bill 7 addresses, among other things:
- A standard upon which the State Superintendent may initiate certificate/license action against an educator for incompetency;
- Requirements for the filling of new and vacant positions;
- Acquisition of tenure;
- Reductions in force/layoffs and recall rights;
- The system for the dismissal of tenured teachers;
- Required school board member training; and,
- Processes related to collective bargaining and the right to strike.
This ISBE Nonregulatory Guidance document addresses questions that ISBE has received regarding various provisions of PERA and Senate Bill 7 (P.A. 97-8, effective June 13, 2011) (a trailer bill making limited changes to Senate Bill 7 was signed that same day, P.A. 97-7). This Nonregulatory Guidance: (a) does not contain all of the information you will need to comply with these laws and any related administrative rules, but is intended to allay confusion and differing interpretations in the field (b) provides ISBE's interpretation of various statutory provisions and does not impose any requirements beyond those included in any applicable laws and regulations; and (c) does not create or confer any rights for or on any person.
For additional information about PERA or Senate Bill 7, please contact the Office of the General Counsel, Illinois State Board of Education, 100 North 1st Street, Springfield, Illinois 62777. Telephone: (217) 782-8535.
If you are interested in commenting on this guidance, please email your comments to firstname.lastname@example.com. ISBE will continue to review this Nonregulatory Guidance and may publish clarifications or modifications of specific sections when appropriate. The Nonregulatory Guidance and any updates to this Nonregulatory Guidance will be made available on ISBE's web site.

Students gave a school janitor in Kentucky the surprise of a lifetime this week.
Ricky Spaulding's son is in the military and is stationed overseas. Spaulding hadn't seen his son in more than a year, and had never met his new grandson, Lexington TV station WLEX reported.
He was called to the gym at Anderson County High School to clean up "a mess."
"They said they had a spill and of course that's my job so I went to clean the spill up," Spaulding told WLEX.
But instead of a spill, students presented him with a bag of money they had collected.
"My son is stationed in Italy and we are going to see him," Spaulding said. "Words can't describe the joy that I feel right now."
The secret donations started earlier this year and totaled $1,900.
Ricky's wife, Lisa Spaulding, called the money a miracle and said they plan to try to make the trip this winter.
"It just shows how much they care and I just think it's amazing," she said.

Why is this technique under Water Dragon Blast technique? Dan translates as bullet or projectile. Hatsu is blast. Though I understand it from an English or a colloquial perspective it isn't an accurate translation at all.Rayfire 02:33, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Hand seals
I think there is a fault with the hand seals. Comparing with the manga shows that there should be 43 seals, but there are only 42 in the article. -- sp-oO-ky
- Going off of the manga, there should actually be 44. The two missing kanji look like 主, but I can't say for sure. ~SnapperTo 18:00, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- Looking at the manga, I can count forty-four hand-seals: 丑 → 申 → 卯 → 子 → 亥 → 酉 → 丑 → 午 → 酉 → 子 → 寅 → 戌 → 寅 → 巳 → 丑 → 未 → 巳 → 亥 → 未 → 子 → 壬 → 申 → 酉 → 辰 → 酉 → 丑 → 午 → 未 → 寅 → 巳 → 子 → 申 → 卯 → 亥 → 辰 → 未 → 子 → 丑 → 申 → 酉 → 壬 → 子 → 亥 → 酉.
- In English, this would be: Ox → Monkey → Rabbit → Rat → Boar → Rooster → Ox → Horse → Rooster → Rat → Tiger → Dog → Tiger → Snake → Ox → Ram → Snake → Boar → Ram → Rat → ? → Monkey → Rooster → Dragon → Rooster → Ox → Horse → Ram → Tiger → Snake → Rat → Monkey → Rabbit → Boar → Dragon → Ram → Rat → Ox → Monkey → Rooster → ? → Rat → Boar → Rooster.
- The two hand-seals I marked as ? in the previous list are called 壬 (Jin). This isn't a part of the Chinese zodiac, the so-called Twelve Earthly Branches, but a part of a sister cycle called the ten Heavenly Stems. Each stem is named after an element and is either Yin or Yang. 壬 is Yang Water.
- I guess it's the name of a special hand-seal, not included with the twelve standard hand-seals. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 20:07, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
No water?
It says the second Hokage didn't need water to use this, but he had just spat out a bunch to use the Water Wall. He used that water. Look at the battle in the manga, it looks pretty obvious to me. (I don't have an account, in case someone asks why I didn't sign in.).—This unsigned comment was made by 184.108.40.206 (talk • contribs) .
- It means that he doesn't need a source of water, since he can make his own. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 15:35, March 13, 2010 (UTC)
- Ok. I know all of that. It just sounded like it was implying he spat it out when using THIS one. We haven't seen him do that, so I was just wondering if it could be more specific. Sorry if I sounded ignorant or imposed on anyone.(Same guy from the first post, obviously.)
Could it be possible that you can use the water inside a humans body??? —This unsigned comment was made by AnimeFreak911 (talk • contribs) .
- Too much water is formed for that to be the source not to mention that would have serious negative effects on the user.
¥Super Novice ↔ Talk 2 Me ¥16:43, March 13, 2010 (UTC)
- I know this is an old post, but actually, as the amount of water is proportionate to the skill of the user, one could theoretically use the water from an enemy's body as a source. Or the user can probably decide how much water they want to use, though how MUCH is limited by skill. Just a thought. (ZPRN, not signed in)18.104.22.168 (talk) 06:31, December 18, 2010 (UTC)
"However, Tobirama Senju was able to produce one with only one hand seal, and was able to perform the technique without an external source of water." As Snapper2 mentioned above, the part about not using an external source should be removed. And Tobirama doesn't use the technique in the anime, which was the only place Tobirama used one hand seal; such a feat is not mentioned in the manga or databook. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 20:50, February 5, 2011 (UTC)
- Somewhere, either manga or anime, I don't remember, the ANBU watching the fight said they were amazed that Tobirama could use Water Release without water, it was mentioned. About the single hand seal, if this wasn't shown in the anime, it definitely was in the manga. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:55, February 5, 2011 (UTC)
- The ANBU makes the comment after Tobirama uses Suiton: Suijinheki http://ani-haven.net/hr-alpha/Naruto/121/4 . But wouldn't condensing the entire sequence of seals down to one warrant some comment be it in the manga or the databooks? Yet, neither mention such a feat. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 21:02, February 5, 2011 (UTC)
- The databook entry for the technique states it can be used without water if the users skill is high enough.--Deva 27 (talk) 20:57, February 5, 2011 (UTC)
- Anyway, didn't the anime mention that he taught this technique to Kosuke Maruboshi?--LeafShinobi (talk) 21:21, February 5, 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, the Second said he would teach Kosuke his jutsu.--Deva 27 (talk) 21:33, February 5, 2011 (UTC)
- So should he be listed as a user also in anime???--LeafShinobi (talk) 22:24, February 5, 2011 (UTC)
- We never actually saw him use it, but going from what Kosuke said, logic would follow...--Cerez365™☺ 11:35, May 3, 2011 (UTC)
- But did Second told olny about Water Encampment Wall or also about this jutsu?--LeafShinobi (talk) 12:03, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
- I'd assume it was both.--Cerez365™☺ 13:01, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

Is this the Same Jutsu Tobirama used in NUNS and Generations? --Kieronrob (talk) 06:11, February 7, 2013 (UTC)
- Not sure about UNS, but his ultimate technique in UNSG isn't this one, it's a derived technqiue, which we already have an article for. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:51, February 7, 2013 (UTC)
In which episode did Hooki used this??? I can't find it...--Omojuze (talk) 22:25, December 25, 2011 (UTC)
- Original episodes 166 and 167 was a double episode. He used it somewhere in the middle, right after he showed his true appearance. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 07:47, December 26, 2011 (UTC)
Mei Terumi
In tha latest chapter, 577, she used this technique after a defensive suiton jutsu, without any handsels. She just transformed the water into a dragon. So I think she's worth adding to the trivia along with Tobirama. User:Domynyk 19:18, Marc 7, 2011, (UTC)
Another question, Mei called this technique Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet (水遁・水龍弾, Suiton: Suiryūdan) with dropping the word "Jutsu" (We can say the same thing when Kosuke Maruboshi used this technique against that Iwa kunoichi in the filler history arc). It known that this technique has an official name in the databook, but is it better to write this note as a trivia until the tankōbon version will be released to check it again? Shakhmoot (talk) 09:46, March 8, 2012 (UTC)
Just list it as an alternate name in the infobox and should the volume release add the "no Jutsu" again, drop it. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:42, March 10, 2012 (UTC)
Should Itachi really be added as a user? As far as I know he only used this in the illusion of Izanami (chapter 587), or did I miss something? Arrancar79 (talk) 22:25, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
- Izanami's not that kind of genjutsu, it loops occurrences not create them.--Cerez365™(talk) 22:35, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
- I'll have to disagree as that didn't happen irl, it seems to me that Izanami is reacting in a way that will keep the loop going. That is to say, Kabuto can't learn Itachi's moves and expect to win by anticipating them as Izanami will change it up on him and keep him in a loop. Arrancar79 (talk) 22:42, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
I think many people still don't understand what Izanami is ...--Elveonora (talk) 22:47, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
- No doubt about that :) but can it be said that Itachi only used Water Dragon bullet within Izanami? Arrancar79 (talk) 22:51, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
But it doesn't have to "react" because it a set series of events that will find a way to loop itself no matter what. That doesn't mean however, that what is going on edgewise isn't something the users are cabaple of themselves since I haven't seen them do anything out of their norm since it was cast in 580. Saying that though would mean that Kabuto can't use Water Release for real either or only in Izanami.--Cerez365™(talk) 22:52, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
The events of Izanami are looped reality, not looped Tsukuyomi. Anything within Izanami could happen in the real world--Elveonora (talk) 22:59, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
Sasuke only used that shuriken summoning technique in a genjutsu as well, and that even got itself a databook entry. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:32, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
- Just to clarify: Itachi used Tsukuyomi after Sasuke used "Summoning: Lightning Blade Creation" in their shuriken battle. After Tsukuyomi ended, you could see the large amounts of broken shuriken on the floor. Yatanogarasu (Talk) 01:07, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
But that aside, since Izanami uses scenarios from reality to create the loop, Itachi planted the Water Dragon Bullet from reality into his illusion just to prevent Kabuto from escaping the loop easily. Yatanogarasu (Talk) 01:07, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
They still used genjutsu before Itachi cast Tsukuyomi. There were two fake Itachi sitting in a throne, that was even before genjutsu Sasuke dissolved into snakes. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:35, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
@Yatanogarasu, I wouldn't say 'planted' the technique, as all he did was use the sharingan's ability to copy the technique and then use it himself. Izanami just seems to change parts of the loop so as to keep up the end/beginning, hence the water dripping on his shoulder later. Joshbl56 01:56, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
@Omnibender, yes but the shuriken battle did happen in reality, genjutsu being cast or not. After the crow and snake clone genjutsu, they had a shuriken battle, and then Tsukuyomi. Yatanogarasu (Talk) 02:23, May 25, 2012 (UTC)
龍kanji usage 竜
pretty much in all the articles that use 龍, such as this one, why don't you use the shinjitai (新字体)equivalent, 竜
Binatang (talk) 03:50, August 10, 2012 (UTC)
We use the kanji that has been used in the series, both in the manga, and I think in the databook. And not all articles use the same kanji, look up both in the wiki and you'll see. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 03:59, August 10, 2012 (UTC)

Arboviral Infections (arthropod-borne encephalitis, eastern equine encephalitis, St. Louis encephalitis, California encephalitis, Powassan encephalitis, West Nile encephalitis)
Last Reviewed: November 2006
- Versión en español
- Further information on arboviral infections from Wadsworth Center for Laboratories and Research
What are arboviral infections?
Arboviral (short for arthropod-borne) infections are caused by any number of viruses transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes and ticks. These infections generally occur during warm weather months, when mosquitoes and ticks are active.
Who gets arboviral infections?
Anyone can get an arboviral infection but the elderly appear to be most susceptible. Young children may experience more severe illness with eastern equine encephalitis and certain types of California encephalitis.
How are arboviral infections transmitted?
Most arboviral infections are spread by infected mosquitoes. Fortunately, only a few types of mosquitoes are capable of transmitting disease and only a small number of the mosquitoes will actually be carrying a virus at any one time. Occasionally, migrating birds have the ability to carry viruses from one area of the country to another; humans, however, cannot become infected by birds, only mosquitoes. Some arboviral infections, such as Powassan encephalitis, may be transmitted by infected ticks.
What are the symptoms of arboviral infections?
Symptoms of the various types of viral infections transmitted by mosquitoes and ticks are usually similar, except for their severity. Most infections do not result in any symptoms. Mild cases may occur with only a slight fever and/or headache and bodyaches and resolve with no complications. Severe infections are marked by a rapid onset, headache, high fever, disorientation, tremors, convulsions, paralysis, coma or death.
When do symptoms appear?
Symptoms usually occur three to 15 days after a bite from an infected mosquito or tick.
Does past infection with an arbovirus make a person immune?
Infection with an arbovirus may provide immunity to that specific virus and perhaps to related viruses.
What is the treatment for an infection due to an arbovirus?
Health care providers will usually attempt to relieve the symptoms of the illness, but there is no specific treatment available for arboviral infections.
How can arboviral infections be prevented?
To minimize exposed skin, insect repellents containing DEET can be used by persons spending time outdoors in mosquito- or tick-infested areas. Be sure to follow label directions carefully. Consider wearing long sleeves and tucking pants into socks and shirt into pants when in tick habitat or outdoors at dusk or dawn, the time of day when mosquitoes are most active. Wear light-colored clothes to spot ticks easily.
To reduce the mosquito population around your home and property, reduce or eliminate all standing water:
- Dispose of tin cans, plastic containers, ceramic pots or similar water-holding containers.
- Remove and recycle all discarded tires on your property. Used tires are a significant mosquito-breeding site.

FRANKFORT — Calling it "the best way to keep hundreds of millions of dollars here at home," Gov. Steve Beshear and Sen. Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown, announced their plan Feb. 14 to introduce an expanded gaming bill in the Senate.
The bill would authorize a statewide vote to amend the state's constitution to allow expanded gaming in up to seven locations in Kentucky.
State Rep. Royce Adams, D-Dry Ridge, withdrew Feb. 10 from his bid for a sixth term as legislator of the 61st District amid health-related issues.
The 73-year-old Adams announced he will retire from the legislature at the end of the year.
With the filing deadline extended several days, two Grant County residents have decided to become candidates in the upcoming election.
Republican Brian E. Linder of Dry Ridge filed for state representative of the 61st district, which includes Grant, Owen and part of Kenton County.
Linder is currently a magistrate with the Grant County Fiscal Court.
He joins Scott Bruce in the Republican primary race in May for the right to go against the Democratic primary winner in November.
When spring returns, area children will have something new to play on at the Grant County Park in Crittenden.
Thanks to a matching grant received by the Grant County Parks and Recreation, a new play structure will be installed at the park designed for 2- to 5-year-olds.
The $12,000 playground equipment, which includes a small slide and climbing wall, will replace existing equipment near the Bobby Gibson Field at the park.
State Rep. Royce Adams, D-Dry Ridge and state Sen. Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown will have some competition in their re-election bids.
Adams has filed for his sixth term as state representative in the 61st district, which includes Grant, Owen and part of Kenton County.
Two Dry Ridge residents — Wanda Crupper Hammons and Camilla "Kay" Patton — have filed to challenge Adams in the Democratic primary in May.
Barring any other Republican candidates, Scott Bruce of Mason will await the primary winner in the November general election.
The city of Williamstown may be home to a Love's Travel Center.
Dr. Floyd Poore approached the city council at the end of 2011 about whether such a venture would be welcome.
Before the proposed development could be constructed, the city council will have to decide whether or not to make a text amendment to their zoning ordinances that would allow a truck stop in a highway commercial zone.
The Grant County Public Library is hoping the community picks up some books as the temperature drops this winter.
While the library has long offered a summer reading program, for the second year they are offering the "Hot Reads For Cold Nights" winter reading program for teenagers and adults.
"There's always a big push to read during the summer, but when it's winter, it's cold outside," said Wynita Worley, public services librarian. "It's a great time to read some books."
Cutting staff and operating near a deficit are just two of the financial hardships facing local school districts as they look ahead to next year's budget.
In a bleak budget address, Gov. Steve Beshear announced a $742 million budget shortfall for the state.
With most agencies likely to receive deep, painful cuts, school districts too will have to decide how to provide services for an increasing amount of students with limited funding from the state.
Two local elected officials will not run for U.S. Congressman Geoff Davis' Kentucky's Fourth District seat after his retirement this year.
Davis, who was elected in 2004, surprisingly announced in December that he would not run for re-election as representative of the 24-county district that includes Grant County in order to spend more time with family.
Potential candidates that have been discussed to run for the Republican's open seat have included Grant County
Judge-Executive Darrell Link and state Sen. Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown.
Parents can get their children "Ready to Read" at an early childhood fair at the Grant County Public Library.
The inaugural event will be from 4 to 7 p.m. Jan. 27 as local businesses, childcare centers, preschools, organizations and agencies will present information for families with preschoolers aged 0 to 5 years old.

Items needed:
I would love to get an "Elmo" unit and projector for my music classroom. This would enable me to show any printed material on a screen where the whole class could see it and would save so much time and paper copies! I know it is kind of a big-ticket item, but it would be used with nearly every child in Fall River School and would really benefit children with reading difficulties. The children could follow me on the projected music and not get lost on their own pages. Music literacy can benefit children in so many ways! Please help!

How to Prep and Frost a Cake
Watch and learn our techniques on how to frost a layer cake in this video from EVERY DAY WITH RACHAEL RAY magazine, plus get tricks and tips from the test kitchen on the best way to use buttercream frosting. From our collection of Step by Step cooking videos.
-Hi, I'm Tracey Seaman, the test kitchen director at Every Day with Rachael Ray Magazine. Today, I'm gonna show you how to prepare a cake for frosting. I have recipe here called the chocolate snack and cake, which instead of baking in a 13 x 9-inch pan, I did it in 2 rounds, which lends itself to more of a celebration cake. I'm gonna take one of the rounds, and right here I have. I'm gonna show you what I'm working it. I have a spinning cake stand, which you can get at cake supply store, at a craft store. Sometimes, you get plastic ones or you can get heavy duty metal ones, which are great too. Then, I have a beautiful plate that I'm gonna put my bottom layer on, but I'm gonna start working with the top layer first. I have this on a cardboard round, which you can also get at a baking store or craft supply store, and the first thing we wanna do, we wanna make sure that both of the layers are level on top, so the cake looks perfect when you frost it and doing this is much easier than you think. As could see, there's a little bit of lift to the cake, so I'm gonna start with my serrated bread knife. Now, since this is a 9-inch cake, this is a perfect size knife to use. If I was gonna make a bigger cake, I would want a bigger knife for ease. I'm gonna start at one edge and my knife is perfectly horizontal. I'm gonna turn the cake as I begin to slice into it. I don't wanna slice across. I wanna go all the way around. Okay, I'm all the way around, and I'm gonna keep slicing toward the center, and by the time I get around a couple of times, the whole top will be loosened, have a nice flat surface, just about there, okay. Now, these scraps are great for snacking on too. I'm gonna wipe my hands a little and them I'm gonna do the same exact thing with the other layer, but I'm gonna put that on the decorative plate. Now that both of my cake layers are trimmed and ready, I'm gonna show you how to use a pastry bag. I have a 16-inch long canvas pastry bag, which has a waxy coating on the inside. I like this best for decorating because they are easy to handle. You can kind of keep a good grip while you're working with frosting. This is something called the coupler. This is an extra large and then there is a smaller medium size one. What's great about this is it makes it for you to change tips from the pastry bag. Now, brand new pastry bag has a pretty narrow end. I have the star tip here, which you can insert this right in the bag, but it's safer to use a coupler, because you don't have to worry about anything, any icing leaking out, but this is a little bit narrow, so I'm gonna trim about an inch or so off the top. Okay, and then taped the inside of the coupler, put it inside the back, and I wanna squeeze it really hard so it's firmly down in place. I'll put the tip o the top and screw the cap on. This will prevent any icing from oozing out of the tip of the bag. Okay, I have my pastry bag already. So, now, what I'm gonna do I have some great Vanilla Swiss Merengue Buttercream, which is nice and fluffy, which is perfect for this technique that we're gonna do. I'm gonna pull the top of the pastry bag down and this serves 2 purposes. One is that it serves as a handle for when I'm filling the bag with icing. The other one is it's going to keep the icing from being on the edge. If I have icing around the edge, it can get the back all greasy, get all over my hand, and my shirt and my face, everywhere. So, we don't want that. Okay, so I'm gonna fold this down, I'm gonna fill it about two thirds full with the frosting. Now, this is a pure buttercream, which is the most delicious kind. Okay, now, once you get some frosting in there, you're gonna jerk the back a little so that it goes down, gonna putt just a little bit more. I'm gonna fold the top back up and then start at the top. I don't wanna have too much air be in the back, but I wanna make sure that nothing comes out of the bag top. All right, I'm gonna spin this around to sort of seal it and then you wanna push on it in case there's any air. This seems pretty good. You could have burped the bag a little bit. All right. Now, you should use your dominant hand to squeeze and then your secondary hand to kind of keep it stable as you go around the cake. First thing I wanna do is pipe a ring around the top of the cake right by the edge and I guess I'm right above the cake just barely above half an inch to an inch above the cake. Now, I'm gonna keep the pastry bag in my hand just like this so doesn't empty out and spoon some frosting in the middle. And this is the kind of technique you wanna use if you wanna just do a different kind of filling. We're icing and filling the cake with same frosting. The ring around the outside keeps the filling from oozing out of the cake. Use a little offset spatula or you could use a butter knife even to spread the filling in, and if you feel like you have too much filling, which I think I do, I can take some off and scrape it back into the bowl, but we wanna cover everything and then the ring may push that a little bit more, but were gonna deal with that a little bit later. We got a nice even layer filling inside the cake. If it makes you feel more secure, you can put a rubber band around this, but I'm gonna just lay it on the counter, and I will take my other cake layer. Now, this cake layer is right side up with the trimmed edge toward the filling. This one I'm gonna flip into my hand so that have it up side down because the bottom of the cake has a nicer edge just so it looks a little bit more professional, and I put this on top and just gently press it around, make sure that the edges are even and matching up, and I wanna take any crumbs especially when you're working with the chocolate cake with white icing. You wanna try to keep the crumbs-- extra crumbs that are on the plate to a minimum, so gonna brush all of them off, get them out of the way, I take my little spatula, scrape it off. You could go around the cake just in case there's any little things you wanna get rid of and this will smooth out the filling and see this is also gonna take off any crumbs that might get in your way as you're working, and again brush off the plate, and I'm gonna go back to my pastry bag. Now, we wanna start at the bottom edge of the cake. I'm gonna squeeze as evenly as I can and I'm gonna go-- I'm gonna go up and down and as I'm squeezing-- I'm squeezing the icing down as I need more icing to the top of the bag. Okay, now that I've cut all the way around, I'm gonna smooth out the frosting. Using a slightly larger, more than slightly larger offset spatula and any excess frosting I'm gonna scrape into the bowl going straight all the way around. Now, if I have a kind of troubled spot here just gonna zigzag over it because the icing wasn't sticking into the cake, it was a little bit heavy. So, I'm gonna take more off, do this all the way around. That looks good, gonna refill the frosting bag and do the top in the same way. I'm gonna start from the edge and spiral around. Because the star tip is pretty wide, I don't have to go exactly even. Keep going around. It looks there's about ¾ inch of frosting that comes out of the back, so even though I have some space in between, it's gonna smooth out just fine, and as I said, you could use a butter knife to do this or if you only have the smaller offset spatula, that's okay too. Okay, so smoothen the top covering any chocolate cake, and then I want to make the top nice and level, then I'm gonna go around the sides again to smooth up the sides. This is going to bring the excess frosting up over the top, just go quickly around, smoothing the icing towards the center of the top, and there you have it, it's a nice professional looking cake that you can do at home very easily. This is Tracey Seaman from Every Day with Rachael Ray. Thanks for watching and I'll see you next time.

GOP Rep. Todd Akin apologized today for comments he made regarding rape and vowed he will stay in the U.S. Senate race in Missouri.
"I made that statement in error. Rape is never legitimate. It is an evil act," Akin told former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee in a radio interview. "I used the wrong words in the wrong way."
Akin continued: "I don't know I'm the only person in public office that suffered from foot-in-mouth disease here. ...I'm not a quitter."
President Obama denounced Akin's original comments as "offensive. "Rape is rape," Obama told reporters today.
Akin, a six-term House member, also back tracked on his comments that women can't get pregnant from rape. "I do know that people become pregnant from rape."
In an interview Sunday, Akin told KTVI-TV in St. Louis that a woman's body could prevent pregnancy in the case of a "legitimate rape." The six-term congressman later said he "misspoke."
Akin's comments have been widely denounced today by other Republicans, including presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney. GOP Sens. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Scott Brown of Massachusetts called on Akin to step down as the party's Senate nominee in Missouri.
Here's what Akin said Sunday in response to a question on whether he supports abortion in cases of rape:
It seems to me first of all from what I understand from doctors that's really rare. If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.
Akin is running against Democratic incumbent Claire McCaskill in a Senate race that could help determine which party controls the chamber.
He said no one from the Romney campaign or the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which is charged with electing Republicans, have asked him to leave the race. Akin vowed to move on and eventually defeat McCaskill, who has been a GOP target this election cycle.
"We're going to take this thing forward and, by the grace of God, win this race," he said.
The House Democrats' campaign operation is also circulating a petition to remove Akin from his post on the House Science and Technology Committee. "Someone who believes nonsense like this has no part overseeing science policy," the petition states. The petition garnered more than 70,000 signatures in three hours.
In the interview with Huckabee, Akin reiterated his views opposing abortion rights. "People and life are tremendously valuable," he said. "We believe that life is something that comes from our creator."

Do all objects fall at the same rate under the influence of gravity? Does air friction affect objects moving at low speeds through the atmosphere? In a partnership with the Beeville ISD, George West students participated in a lab to determine variables such as these. Beeville ISD instructor, Ben Barris, has been teaching GW Pre-Advanced Placement Physics students via video conference each day. However, last Friday, Mr. Barris came to George West to conduct lab experiments to determine vector and velocity of moving objects, as well as how acceleration is affected by gravity.
Meanwhile, down the hall of George West High School, Glenda Locke's Anatomy and Physiology students were conducting an Enzyme Lab. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of reactions that would otherwise happen more slowly. In the lab, students were to measure the effects of changes in temperature, pH and enzyme concentration on reaction rates of an enzyme catalyzed reaction. It is important for students to be able to explain how environmental factors affect the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions.

decent read, but I'm not buying keeping marbury, not for strictly basketball reasons, but for business reasons.
i don't care who we get this summer, short of a legit, dominant Big man, Marbury is not worth 20+ million.
btw, marbury is 29, and will be 30 next year.
i dont wanna repeat everything i've been saying, but Marbury needs to go for many reasons. If, however Isiah can pull of a masterful deal to bring in that dominating big man, then I'm all for keeping him.

Carmelo was brutal in the 4th yesterday and followed that up with another choke job tonight. I understand his thinking to some extent - because he has so much faith in his ability to shoot - that it's better to stay outside where he has space/separation, as posed to going down low where he's surely to get hacked (and he'll never got the call).
But he fails to realize he misses these "game-on-the-line" shots far more often than he hits one. He may be one of the best at doing it, but we're still talking 33% or something. In baseball those may be good odds....
For the most part, he has himself to blame because he constantly cries foul to the refs, and this distracts him. Arguing calls isn't professional and it does nothing to help you get a call later... So why foolishly belabor the fact?
Also, he is a big forward. Ergo, of course guards get the call more bc of the simple style differences (how they attack the rim).
Carmelo still doesn't get it. His best bet in these situations is a quick, decisive first step attacking basket or defender. Just like what Rose did. Do not let defense set, and cause your base to get stationary. And stop settling! Take the pass and attack. But he isn't coordinated like a guard, or can he handle ball or his control his body. He knows a turnover, charge, no-call or something bad is the likely outcome.
I can live with the shot he took at end of game though. It was an open look. He choked. I think the previous 4 touches though were a disgrace. Another turnover in a clutch situation. I absolutely hate those spin corner fadeaway jumpers.
Bottom line, Anthony has been ice cold both games and when it got down to it in these fourth quarters... He takes the easy way out and pulls up for jumpers. Carmelo is a streaky shooter. It's not like he is a pure shooter. I don't want him take long range shots with the game on the line.
i think Dolan released those expectations as a shot at Carmelo tho. Meaning if he cannot deliver this season, with his best team yet, then he can opt out and run.... Because he won't be worth a max contract as he enters his thirties. Worst thing for the Knicks is to be a second round team for 4 years. I agree too.
Last year things broke perfectly for this team to get to Eastern Conf Finals. Melo couldn't deliver.
And the idiot starts out this campaign by opening his big mouth, talking nonsense about free agency? How dumb can a guy be? Did the weight of that impact his performance the last 48 hours? Let's face it, when Rose is in top form again, Bulls will be blowing us out by 25 points.
i admit the officials were terrible again. Phantom travel on Anthony took 2 points away, Felton never got a call while Kirk gets to the line if you blew on him. That Reach-in foul on CHi shouldn't have been called b/c it spoiled a NYk fast break. That cost us 2 points.
... and Woodson was awful again with his rotation and lack of any semblance of coaching down the stretch.
What we've learned is we are not good enough to beat MIA, InDY or Chi in a 7 game series. We have no answer in the half court set except ISO to Melo, which doesn't work. We will never get calls from refs, and our coach crumbles when we need him most. Expecting the results to change when you deploy the same strategy is insane. It's exactly why Woody and Melo have been disasters in the playoffs. Basketball is all about movement. You get stagnant, you lose.
Sure, we'll win 48-52 games. If we get a top 3 seed, we probably win a playoff series. Then it will all come crumbling down. Shump will never be more than a tease, STAT is done.
i so hope I am wrong. I hope Bargs and JR are enough to compliment Melo, and that Felton and TC stay healthy and that Shump and Hardaway become stars. And that Melo goes DIRK for us and has a miraculous run come June. But, if it were my money, If we lose in the first or second round again and Melo opts out.... I don't give him the max. I let him walk. He will look like a fool, for forcing himself out of Denver to come here and then running away. I let him walk. I suck for a season, get a top pick and clear the payroll and reset everything.
I am just tired of this Melo-drama. It's ugly basketball. And he's just not that good. And even if he were a top 10 player in the NBA, he still needs a sidekick. We do not have a second star. We don't even have a third star. We have some good players.... But that's not enough.
It's the Ewing era all over again. The early 90s. We know CHI, Indy and MIA are going to best us... We watch anyway.... But no matter what happens the next 80 games.... We know it's coming. Melo goes ice cold in June. 6-23. Clank, brick, and then we go home.

just goes to show, how much a team can improve over the space of one year... its not easy but Miami landed a dominant player in Shaq, surrounded him with a great pick in the draft, in Dwayne Wade, and a whole bunch of high flyers and 3-point shooters.. they're a fan's dream.. except if your playing them
Wade was a rookie last year before they had Shaq.Originally Posted by Peach_NYK_21
I agree with Raddy, we can not lose 4 times to the Heat.

i know that, but even if he was there before him, he is still part of his supporting cast
Time for my predictions:
Knicks Win 107-106

Knicks win 99-97. Down with 1 with 12.7 on the clock crawford gets foules and makes them all.
Its time for change!!!!!!!!

Has anybody notice how bad these refs have been. It's not even like I am making a excuse, they are so bad. They bail the Heat out everytime something goes in favor of them.

crawfords early birthday present was an a** whooping
what im starting t wonder is what chicago would look like with Crawford still there.. wow they would be unstopable
No win against miami this year...Too bad the team shot just 38.8% . TT's last 3 or four games were really good, and there, he didn't show up...
