Daniel DePrey lists a top-five finish in a Mid-American Junior Golf Tour event and making the cut at the Illinois State Amateur Championship at Makray Memorial among his summer highlights.
But those two accomplishments, impressive as they are, cannot top what DePrey pulled off Monday at Bowes Creek in Elgin. The Cary-Grove senior followed his first-round 71 – which was par – with a 6-under-par 65, his best round ever, to win the final Illinois Junior Golf Association event of the year.
That victory vaulted DePrey from third to first place, earning him IJGA Player of the Year honors for ages 14 through 18.
"I knew I had to win that tournament [to get first]," DePrey said. "I was 5-under through 10 on the first day and that motivated me to keep it together the entire round instead of breaking down."
DePrey had 25 putts on his career-best round and finished 11 strokes ahead of Orland Park's Mike Misheck. He is brimming with confidence heading into his fourth varsity season for the Trojans this fall.
"I feel really good about my ball-striking and short game," DePrey said. "I don't think it could be much better right now."
DePrey works a lot with his friend Paul Schlimm's father (Paul) and brother (Dan). The younger Paul Schlimm plays for Crystal Lake Central. The DePreys and Schlimms play at Marengo's Blackstone Golf Club.
"My short game's improved night and day from last year, it's 10 times better," DePrey said. "The Schlimms and my dad [Jeff] let me figure things out on my own, then they take a look at it."
DePrey wants to maintain his roll through the high school season and improve his standing with college coaches. He has been contacted by NCAA Division III Carthage College, but hopes he can make it to a scholarship school at the D-I or D-II level.
All for Jodi: The Run for Jodi, a benefit for former Woodstock North cross country coach Bruce Farris' wife, had 676 participants Saturday at the high school.
Jodi Farris suffers from multiple sclerosis and one of Farris' former runners started organizing a race in her honor, with the money raised going to the National MS Society. Bruce Farris said $40,000 was raised through entry fees, sponsorships and contributions.
"The Run for Jodi was a huge success," he said.

Michael Molina, Deputy Executive Director of External Affairs
Michael Molina was appointed to the position of Deputy Executive Director of External Affairs for Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) in March 2010.
Professional ExperienceFollowing seven years of service as chief of staff to Los Angeles 15th District Councilmember Janice Hahn, Molina joined LAWA in 2008 as Senior Director of Government Affairs. In that position, he was responsible for coordinating all of LAWA's legislative activities and serving as liaison to local, state and federally elected officials.
"He successfully steered LAWA through the legislative process here in the City as well as in Sacramento and Washington, DC," LAWA Executive Director Gina Marie Lindsey said.
Later in 2008, Molina duties were expanded and his position title was changed to Senior Director of External Affairs to reflect those new responsibilities, which included managing the activities of LAWA's Government Affairs, Public Relations, Community Relations, Air Service Marketing and Business and Job Resources divisions.
Lindsey said Molina's responsibilities are being expanded to include a newly structured customer service function. "These new responsibilities put him at the center of LAWA's critical engagement with communities, agencies and government, along with its delivery of passenger service."
Molina is a graduate of California State University, Dominguez Hills.

And just prior to becoming "a little bit Rock & Roll," I was a teeny bit Doo Wop as well. This week the Bethel Woods Center for the Performing Arts (www.bethelwoodscenter.org [2]) became my second home as I returned to the site of the 1969 Woodstock Festival—repeatedly!
The White Lake Saltshaker Reformed Presbyterian Church (www.whitelake [3] church.com) sponsored a "classic" car show on the grounds of Bethel Woods this past Saturday, in conjunction with the Doo Wop Festival scheduled for the same evening on the main stage. Lovingly restored vehicles were on display for several hours, along with their owners, and the event served as a fundraiser for the Shepherds Pantry food bank, which serves the community on the second Thursday of each month.
The vehicles represented two decades, ranging from the fabulous '50s through the early '60s, and people milled about, inspecting everything from interiors to fins, while reminiscing and celebrating the "golden age" of automobiles. Banion Felders' 1932 Ford was awarded "best in show" and White Lake resident Dick Morey took home the people's choice award with his 1961 Buick convertible. The cars were a perfect backdrop for the Doo Wop show that followed, and by the time I had perused the lot, I was more than ready for the music that followed.
As thousands cheered, '50's and '60's vocal adrenaline hit the stage with an onslaught of memories. While on the cusp (I was born mid-'50s) I can recall being in my playpen (whatever happened to them?) as my mother played "happy homemaker" (before women's lib) swaying and bopping to the radio while ironing and dusting before Daddy-O would get home in time for Dean Martin on the black & white.
The Fireflies, Chantels, Crickets and Planatones (do the walk) joined combo-group Brooklyn Reunion (Mystics, Classics and Passions) sounding incredible, though there were many silver streaks in the pompadours and bouffants. Major chart-toppers like "Maybe," "Till Then," "Peggy Sue" and "That'll Be The Day" paved the way for the (all original members) group The Drifters, as they hit the stage in their matching red suits, performing the signature choreography and ultra-smooth sound ("Under the Boardwalk") that helped define a generation.
It was a gorgeous night, and couples could be spied slow-dancing on the lawn in a really sweet flashback moment that invoked what could be interpreted as a kinder, gentler era.
On Sunday, back at Bethel Woods, that same lawn transformed into a Country Western extravaganza as The Band Perry sang its heart out just before the sensational Luke Bryan opened for consummate star headliner, Tim McGraw (and the Dance Hall Doctors). I wasn't prepared (although dressed in my best country finery) for how good this guy truly is. Until this weekend, I had kept my love for country music (and the boots) in the closet, but let it all hang out as I sat back and soaked in the electrifying atmosphere. McGraw was using a cane and acknowledged that he "wasn't going to let a bum leg keep him from his fans" as he strutted the stage, causing the females to swoon and the males to whoop it up throughout his full set.
No point in mincing (pun intended) words: McGraw is (IMHO) sexy, sexy, sexy. I joined the other 20,000 fans, flinging my cowboy hat into the air as this wildly talented entertainer delivered hit after hit, building excitement in the crowd to a thundering crescendo that had everyone on their feet hootin' and hollerin'. The stage was gussied up with two full drum sets and a backdrop of LCD screen filling the house with gorgeous images of rain, lightening, trains, trucks and swaying lanterns, adding to the overall effect of a superstar doin' his thang.
The staff at Bethel Woods was omnipresent, but not intrusive at all, allowing the fans to whoop it up (in a safe and sane manner), endlessly screaming, stomping and celebrating this country crossover sensation, who was making his first appearance in Sullivan County. "The whole reason we've been doing this for 25 years is you, the audience," Mcgraw shouted to the crowd, "and we're gonna have a good time, I guarantee."
Honestly, a "good time" doesn't even begin to describe what went down under the stars over the weekend. The cars, the tight harmonies of the Doo Wop and the down-home country charm all combined to create a joyous melange of music, music, music that had me cryin' for more and delighting in living close enough to Bethel Woods (just down the road a piece) to visit over and over again.
I'll be puttin' on the tie-dye and love beads next week for "Furthur," but plan to reinstate my country look immediately following the rock tribute, since I'm (now admitting) that I'm both a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll. Bethel Woods? Be there or be square y'all.

The biomarkers will be the subject of clinical studies in ovarian cancer and mesothelioma, including a potentially pivotal study of VS-6063 in mesothelioma expected to initiate later this year.
"The identification of patients most likely to benefit from targeted therapy is critical to accelerating the drug development and approval process," said Henri Termeer, Verastem Lead Director.Clinical assay validation is an integral component to all companion diagnostics entering an FDA approval process.
Pioneering research by Robert Weinberg, Ph.D., Verastem cofounder and chair of the Scientific Advisory Board, and others have demonstrated that FAK signaling plays a central role in the tumor-initiating capability of cancer stem cells and ultimate disease progression. VS-6063 is designed to target and kill cancer stem cells by inhibiting FAK signaling.
Mesothelioma tumors lacking the tumor suppressor Merlin appear to be particularly sensitive to FAK inhibitors. As shown recently at the EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics, sensitivity due to lack of Merlin is evident in both research models and early clinical proof-of-concept.
"We believe the approximately 50% of mesothelioma patients lacking Merlin may be particularly responsive to treatment with FAK inhibitors," said Dan Paterson, Verastem Vice President, Head of Corporate Development and Diagnostics. "LabCorp is the perfect partner to progress our research on Merlin into a companion diagnostic for VS-6063."
"We are pleased to collaborate with Verastem in guiding the clinical development of cancer stem cell-targeted agents," said David P. King, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LabCorp. "This relationship represents another example of our accelerating initiatives in companion diagnostics and personalized medicine."

- Title
- Cultural influences on consumer behaviour
- Author(s)
- Nayeem, Tahmid
- Abstract
- This study investigates the differences between individualism-collectivism and consumer behaviour in relation to automobile purchases. In this study the author looked at several stages of the consumer decision-making process and identified the possible differences between individualist and collectivist consumers and how it influences purchase decision. Based on a sample of 211 respondents from individualist (Australian-born) and collectivist (Asian-born) backgrounds, an established scale (Cultural Values Scale: Singelis, Triandis, Bhawuk, and Gelfand, 1995) was used to confirm the cultural values among the participants, if the respondents are aligned with the particular group (i.e. Asian-born with collectivism and Australian-born with individualism). Hypotheses were tested using independent sample t-test. Results found that there were no differences in individualism observed between Australian-born and Asian-born respondents; however, there were differences in collectivism observed between these two groups, such that Asian-born participants scored higher on collectivism. Results also found that Asian-born consumers are more brand conscious and involve a number of family/friends in their decision making. In contrast Australian-born consumers do not believe in group decision making and uses internet as the most important source of information. The findings will provide insight into how automobile companies could position themselves with respect to their marketing strategies in different cultural settings.

Arrest for lighting cat on fire
The West Sacramento Police Department has just announced that it has arrested a 17-year old local boy for "felony cruelty to animals," after a cat was set on fire on May 2.
The police did not identify the juvenile.
[adrotate group="10″] Witness saw a "ball of fire" moving near Circle Park in West Sacramento the night of May 2 — and it turned out that someone had used an accelerant to set a friendly local stray cat on fire. The cat was taken to UC Davis Medical Center for treatment, but was euthanized.
"A detective from the West Sacramento police was assigned the case and was able to establish leads which led to the arrest this morning," said Lt. Tod Sockman of the West Sacramento Police Department in a press release today.
The News-Ledger's original report, with a photo of the cat, is here.

GUEST COMMENTARY: join up & fight tobacco
Yolo County Tobacco Prevention Coaltion
The Yolo County Tobacco Prevention Coalition is seeking new members!
An article in The Sacramento Bee entitled "Wealthy Counties Top the List of California's Healthiest," published on April 4, stated that Yolo County citizens have a far lower smoking rate than the majority of counties in California. This is a huge achievement for Yolo County and we must keep it up. Community members that are willing to do their part to help stand against the effects of the tobacco industries are the key to upholding this consistently low smoking rate, and play a key role in increasing awareness and supporting efforts for a healthier community.
[adrotate group="9″] Tobacco use is the No. 1 cause of preventable death globally, taking over 5 million lives a year. Today's cigarettes deliver nicotine more efficiently to the brain, addicting kids more quickly and making it harder for smokers to quit. Smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke cause immediate harm to the human body, and can lead to cancer, heart attacks, and lung disease.
The purpose of the Yolo County Tobacco Prevention Coalition is to prevent and reduce tobacco use through education, social norm change, and individual empowerment in our culturally diverse county. The coalition tries to reduce exposure to secondhand smoke, counter "Big Tobacco" influences, reduce the availability of tobacco to minors, and promote and provide help with quitting tobacco. A few of the coalition's recent accomplishments include assisting Yolo County cities and supervisors in reducing cigarette sales to children (via licensing retailers), and supporting Woodland and Winters City Councils in adopting resolutions to offer more smoke-free apartments.
[adrotate group="7″] There are so many benefits to joining the coalition! Coalition members are a group of advocates representing the general public and various agencies including those from the Yolo County school districts, law enforcement, and healthcare professionals. Make a difference in your community, be part of the decision making process, and make your community a healthier place. The coalition meets every other month to network, plan activities, and address current tobacco issues affecting Yolo County.
If you have an interest in preventing another generation from becoming addicted to tobacco products, being part of this coalition is a great opportunity to make a difference.
Please contact Steven Jensen with the Yolo County Tobacco Education Program at (530) 666-8616 or email email@example.com.

The rate is significantly higher than last year's rate of 18.7 cents, which was the lowest in the State of Texas.
Karnes County Judge Richard Butler explained that the higher rate will provide more revenue for the county – financial resources that are desperately needed due to the impact on Karnes County by the Eagle Ford Shale oil and gas boom.
According to information from the county auditor's office, Karnes County's total taxable property values – often referred to as the county's "tax base" – for this year are $7.18 billion.
The 30 cent rate, if approved, will generate an estimated $21.55 million in property tax revenue for the county.
To put this in perspective, the estimated property tax revenue paid to the county last year was $5.11 million.
The county has many other sources of revenue in addition to property tax revenue, however, such as sales taxes, fees, permits, etc. and when this was all added to the $5.11 million in property tax revenue, a total of $20.8 million were listed as estimated receipts in last year's budget.
The 30 cent rate will generate $10.64 million in County Energy Transportation Reinvestment Zone funds, and in addition to that, the road and bridge department will receive $7.7 million in state grant funding for a total of $18.34 million in funding for the county's road and bridge department which has been struggling to keep county roads in good repair.
As bad as they are, however, roads are not the only need for Karnes County right now, Butler said, as the oil boom has impacted and increased the cost of every part of county government.
The total amount the county plans to spend in the coming fiscal year, however, won't be known until the budget is made public later this week.
Butler said the proposed county budget will be posted by Aug. 29 and open to public inspection. Hearings will be held on the tax rate Sept. 16 and Sept. 22. On Sept. 26 the court will vote to approve the budget and tax rate.
"This is not an adoption of a tax rate," Butler said. "We may well adopt a different tax rate. There will be the hearings available for everyone to have the discussion about that tax rate and also the budget."
Work is continuing on a county budget based on requests from county department heads and anticipated needs for the county in the coming fiscal year, Butler explained. Not every request has been included in the current working version of the budget, he emphasized.
"We think we have hammered out a budget that this county can live with, that will actually move us forward, give us enough personnel and money to function in the way that the people of this county have the right to expect us to function," he said. "That will all be in the budget that we will see final before the end of this week."
Butler said that the tax rate in Karnes County before the oil boom was about 48 cents, which was in 2009.
"Due to the way that tax law is structured, that rate has plummeted," he said. "I studied that law and tried to figure out what happened – how did it happen? Why did they design this law to cause the tax rate to fall precipitously when there is increase in valuations."
Butler said the law was designed to keep tax revenue proportional to the needs of county governance. The theory was that rapidly expanding mineral values does not cause any increased needs for the county government.
"Well as we have seen, that is not true," Butler said. "We have much more pressure on law-enforcement agencies, much more need for law-enforcement personnel, our roads are just getting beat up like nobody can believe."
"Nobody has seen a development in oil and gas like this, with this much intensive traffic," Butler said. "The rigs, huge equipment being transported – ever in oil and gas exploration activity before."
"This is unique," Butler emphasized.
"The way the statute works, we have ended up with these plummeting tax rates and what has happened is it has overwhelmed our ability to keep up with the growth and the needs caused by this expansion."
"And it has caused a real threat, which is, when the oil and gas business plays out – when there is a slow-down in this economic activity and when those appraisals on the oil and gas and mineral interests and properties start to drop, we will have no way to fix them. We would have to have an astronomical tax rate."
The tax revenue from oil and gas production activity will be gone by that point, Butler noted.
"The time to strike – to make sure that everybody pays the same fair amount – and takes care of these resources is now," Butler said. "We have effectively given big tax rebates to oil and gas producers by allowing these tax rates to plummet the way they have."
Butler said he can remember tax rates as high as 80 cents per $100 valuation to keep the county running.
"We don't need that now, but there is no reason to let that drop to 12 or 10 cents," he added.
Butler then made a motion to approve the proposed 30 cent rate, although he cautioned that the rate will be subject to a possible petition for a tax rollback election. He emphasized that it was important for county leaders to convey to the public the need to do this as a way to avoid a possible rollback election.
"Thirty cents per $100 is going to generate a lot more revenue than 17," County Commissioner James Rosales said.
"Oh yes it will," Butler responded. "Without that increase, we can't properly fund the government and then we will be sliding even further down in the years to come and we are going to end up in a situation where we end up a broke county who has no money, our facilities will be dilapidated and destroyed, our roads will be in terrible shape and we will have no way to fix them. When we need to make the capital improvements to this county is now, while we can get 85 percent of the contribution made by the mineral interests... That is the time to get it done or we will be too late."
County Commissioner Shelby Dupnik seconded Judge Butler's motion and the court voted unanimously in favor of proposing a 30-cent tax rate.

What is in this article?:
- Top 10 farming-related law stories of 2010 (Part Two)
- Wetlands/NCC v. EPA
- Number One
- Last year, a bevy of court decisions and actions by Congress impacted agricultural law. Among the top five:
- Bona fide purchaser defense under Superfund
- Food Safety Modernization Act
- Attempt to extend jurisdiction over "prior converted" wetlands
More About:
In 2010, a bevy of court decisions and actions by Congress impacted agricultural law.
In mid-February, Farm Press spoke with Roger McEowen, director of Iowa State University's Center for Agricultural Law and Taxation (CALT), about what he sees as the most significant agriculture-related developments over the past year.
In reverse order of importance, his top five picks are:
(for picks 6 through 10, see Part One)
5. Bona fide purchaser defense under Superfund
"We tend not to think of Superfund in an agricultural context. But it can be very important.
"When you buy agricultural land, someone in the past may have placed hazardous chemicals on that property. There are a lot of ag properties with a remote area that was used in the past as a dump: pesticide and herbicide containers, oil, all of the types of chemicals used on a farm…
Many of the chemicals and substances used in a farming operation are classified as 'hazardous' waste under the Superfund law.
"When you buy land, the last thing you want is to be held liable for the conduct of someone who owned, or operated, the property before you. There are ways to avoid that liability. One of those is to conduct 'all appropriate inquiry' concerning the status of that property. In other words, you ask the seller a list of questions and get them to certify there's no problem with the property, they know of no problem. … That way, if a problem is discovered once you own the property, you won't be held liable.
"Well, we've never really had the framework for figuring out what it takes to be a bona fide purchaser and what is the defense. … We now at least have a framework for how to establish a bona fide purchaser defense."
4. FDA Food Safety Modernization Act
The Food Safety Modernization Act was passed by Congress and signed by President Obama in late 2010.
"It's the biggest change in U.S. food safety law since the 1938 federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act.
"It heightens inspections by, about, a factor of seven over the next five years of 'food facilities.' That will be paid through a tax on those facilities which will be passed on to consumers in higher food costs…
"All food facilities have to produce 'risk-based preventative controls' and undertake periodic hazard analysis.
"Meat, poultry and dairy products are covered under different legislation.
"Also, the FDA is given mandatory recall authority over covered food products, except alcoholic beverages. Most food companies will have to write and implement food safety protocols designed to minimize potential food hazards. The cost of that additional administrative burden will, again, be passed on to consumers."
The act "also provides whistle-blower protections for employees of employers engaged in the manufacture, process, packing or importation of food. And the FDA has the power to 'harmonize' U.S. food and dietary supplement industries with internationally recognized standards. That means basic food staples will be genetically modified. Indeed, Monsanto was a major supporter of the act because of that provision.
"It will cost about $1.4 billion over the next four years. The additional costs to the private sector haven't been estimated.
"The thing that's interesting is that Congress passed this and the president signed it into law in spite of data showing the incidence of food-borne illness has dropped by a third over the past 14 years."

Will cold weather help you lose weight?
Research says the cold can help you slim down
The cold is taking a toll on our bodies. But it can't be all bad when new research said it can help you lose weight
Personal trainer Juliete Pellicane doesn't usually workout inside.
"I feel like I'm stuck in a dark box all the time," said Pellicane, who would rather run outside, but the constant cold has kept her captive.
"I remember after Thanksgiving we had that one really nice Sunday," she said. "That was the last time I went outside to work out."
A new study reported in "Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism" suggests being chilly, though, can help you lose more weight.
"Is it going to show up on a scale?" UW Kinesiology Professor Ron Carda asked. "You're going to have to do a whole lot of shivering."
Professor Carda said lower temps increases your body metabolic rate, which burns calories. In fact, shivering raises that rate up to five times. Although a thermostat, recommended at 65-degrees, is nothing like when the mercury falls below zero.
"I think it's trying to put a positive spin to an uncomfortable situation," Carda said.
UW-Madison engineering student Christopher Poellinger braves the cold and runs around campus every couple days. But he dresses appropriately for it.
"I kind of layer it so, I wear a pair of running tights and then running sweat pants over that," Poellinger said.
The Professor also recommends running into the wind to start, with it at your back near the finish.
Nobody really likes the cold, but maybe new research can convince Pellicane to ditch her old workout and conquer the cold.
"I just want the sun and ice to go away," she said. "They have warm weather gear so you can stay warm, but that only does so much."
If you plan to change your thermostat, researchers suggest starting out at 70-degrees and lower it in two-degree increments and over time, you sort of get used to it.

June 3, 2004: Three huge intersecting dark lanes of interstellar dust make the Trifid Nebula one of the most recognizable and striking star birth regions in the night sky. The dust, silhouetted against glowing gas and illuminated by starlight, cradles the bright stars at the heart of the Trifid Nebula. This nebula, also known as Messier 20 and NGC 6514, lies within our own Milky Way Galaxy about 9,000 light-years (2,700 parsecs) from Earth, in the constellation Sagittarius. This new image from the Hubble Space Telescope offers a close-up view of the center of the Trifid Nebula, near the intersection of the dust bands, where a group of recently formed, massive, bright stars is easily visible.See the rest:
The Trifid Nebula, cataloged by astronomers as Messier 20 or NGC 6514, is a well-known region of star formation lying within our own Milky Way Galaxy. It is called the Trifid because the nebula is overlain by three bands of obscuring interstellar dust, giving it a trisected appearance as seen in small telescopes.
The Trifid lies about 9,000 light-years (2,700 parsecs) from Earth, in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius.
This new image from the Hubble Space Telescope offers a close-up view of the center of the Trifid Nebula, near the intersection of the dust bands, where a group of recently formed, massive, bright stars is easily visible. These stars, which astronomers classify as belonging to the hottest and bluest types of stars known, type "O," are releasing a flood of ultraviolet radiation that dramatically influences the structure and evolution of the surrounding nebula. The stars illuminate a dense pillar of gas and dust to the right of the image, producing a bright rim on the side facing the stars. At the upper left tip of this pillar, there is a complex filamentary structure also on the side closest to the center of the nebula. The structure has a bluish color because it is made up of glowing oxygen gas that is evaporating into space.
Star formation is no longer occurring in the immediate vicinity of the conspicuous group of bright O-type stars, because their intense radiation has blown away the gas and dust from which stars are made. However, not far away there are signs of interstellar material collapsing under its own gravity, leading to ongoing star formation. One such example is a very young star that is still surrounded by a ring of gas and dust left over from the star's formation. These circumstellar rings, called protoplanetary disks, or "proplyds" for short, are believed to be the locations where planetary systems are formed. A proplyd in the Trifid Nebula is visible near the lower right of the main Hubble image. An image enlargement of the proplyd is shown in the lower left box, where its elongated shape can be seen.
In the box at upper right, a jet of material is seen being ejected from a very young, low-mass star. The jet, extending to the lower right of the box, protrudes from the head of a dense pillar and extends three-quarters of a light-year out into the surrounding thin gas. The jet's source is a very young stellar object that lies buried within the pillar. Previous Hubble images of the Trifid Nebula, taken in 1997, show very small, but noticeable changes in the knotty material being ejected from this jet.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
neither they both would suck at that bad :D

Sasuke: personality and some cool jutsus (but I'm not an Uchiha so a lot he can't teach me)
Naruto: personality (sage mode and rasengan)
I'll go with Naruto if I'm not an Uchiha, or if I have a biju. But if I am an Uchiha, Sasuke all the way
Sasuke, cuz he can teach me how to swag
Sasuke can also summon hawk
Teach Samari techniques
Teach ration and katon
Teach shurikens
Snake summon
good taijutsu
Genjutsu and hatred
Naruto has sage mode
Shadow clones
Toad summons
Rasengan variants
Fuiton and will of fire ...
Naruto is better choice and can pass on more
Deff Sasuke no doubt in my mind.
I'll take shikamaru, because narutowill be hokage befo being naruto sensei, and sasuke is likely to kill me.

(@ Bold )Third, Sasuke didnt copy everything that shows how much you read. He actually created different variant from another technqiue . And created his own technique. None of Jiraya students, did anything like this. (Minato sure he created rasengan but it was incomplete. Naruto perfected rasengan but he had help Sasuke didnt. )
Also, the trash student(Kabuto) you mentioned didnt he turn out , to be extremely powerful ?
I wasn't actually talking about Susake. I know you're in love with him but I forgot about him. I was talking about Anko & Kabuto.
Susake isn't the only one with variationof a jutsu Naruto is Jiraiya's student and his jutsu are a variant of the Rasengan.
Further more Nagato killed him that only shows how good of a teach he was that his student had to withhold Intel to keep the upper hand on his master. Anyone of Jiraiya's 3 main students can beat beat Orochimaru's 3. Maybe you should read the manga.
Naruto simply because he would "tolerate" me being his student because just like him, I don't learn stuff on the second or third try.
Sasuke has natural talent and a prodigy. He would be totally exasperated with me that I didn't learn one of his moves right away.
I would personally prefer Naruto, His determination, and his willpower is unmatched, he sets goals and promises and he fights for those reasons, and he has mastered wind style, earth style, and Sage Mode, He has an Excellent amount of chakra control and manipulation, and he has some pretty sweet techniques.
Naruto who believes in practice to perfection.
Sasuke would make a good sensai but his abilities peak in sharingan techniques in which I couldn't learn. Naruto would have much more to offer and would be a lot more fun to train with.
Naruto doesnt have anything to offer me, so Sasuke all the way

I mean it comes down to preference but alot of the replies im reading in this thread are
trying to compare jutsus. You can't base somebody's ability to be a good sensei off what
jutsus they posess alone.
Madara no doubt
Naruto no doubt
Sasuke would b a pathetic teacher scolding all the time..his attitude will also get on my nerve

Marble Museum seeks tenants rent freeBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | January 28,2013PROCTOR – The Vermont Marble Museum is looking for a few good tenants to fill space in the building that houses the museum – rent free.
Building owners Marsha and Martin Hemm are putting the word out that they're looking for industrial, retail, studio and office tenants to occupy the remaining space in the factory building with up to eight months of free rent.
The Hemms signed a deal at the end of last year to sell most of the museum collection to the Preservation Trust of Vermont for $250,000. The Trust also has a one-year option to buy the building from the Hemms for $480,000. Of that amount, the Trust has raised $125,000 toward the purchase. including a $100,000 donation from the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board.
"It will ease in the long term operation (of the museum) to have additional tenants in the building for sure," Paul Bruhn, executive director of the Preservation Trust of Vermont, said Monday. "And I think it will make a difference to donors or potential donors to know that the building will be self-sufficient long term."
There are six existing tenants in the building, including small manufacturers, retail, studio/workshop, office and storage, Marsha Hemm said in an email.
That leaves 16,735 square feet available to lease: 3,000 square feet of finished, air conditioned office space, with conference and lunch room; a 4,835- square-foot, three-bay garage and workshop with mechanics pit, office and bathroom; 800 square feet of retail space; a 600-square-foot studio; and 7,500 square feet of light production space.

In spite of low performance and relatively low quality, the popularity of netbooks has increased dramatically in the past few years. However, they will never replace fully-fledged notebooks, according to Dell, one of the world's largest makers of personal computers.
"There's been some over-exuberance on this product in the marketplace. Some of our competitors have positioned [netbooks] as a replacement device, and then you see feedback from customers that are disappointed when they gave up their notebook for a netbook and find that it's not quite as fast or doesn't have quite the same functionality," said Steve Felice, president of Dell's consumer and small and midsize business unit, during a conference call with reporters, reports IDG News Service.
Interestingly, but in the first quarter of 2010 shipments of Intel Corp.'s Atom processors – which power the absolute majority of netbooks – fell. According to IDC, the share of Atom chips decreased from 24% to 20% in spite of overall microprocessor shipments increase.
Unlike companies like Asustek Computer, Dell does not plan to expand its netbook range in the foreseeable future.
"We think we're selling the appropriate number of these products to the appropriate set of needs," said Mr. Felice.

Each residence hall room and the living rooms and bedrooms in the apartments have outlets which connect to the University's television distribution system. A basic and standard cable television line-up is provided to all rooms, as per the University's contract with Comcast Communications. No direct billing to students is necessary, as CATV charges are included in student fees.
Students interested in obtaining other services from Comcast, including any Premium channels, Digital Cable, or Cable Modem services, must contract directly with - and be billed monthly by - Comcast Communications. Questions can be addressed to: Residence Life Technology Office at 610-436-2344 or go to www.comcast.com for more information. Any additional services for students will be billed individually by Comcast, but since the basic tier of service is on the WCU account, the Residence Life Technology office can assist you with the information necessary to open a "stacked" account through Comcast Bulk Client Services.

Extra Academic Help To Disadvantaged Students
The U.S. Department of Education invites the private school community to participate in a program that can help ensure that every child receives a high-quality education. Under the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), private schools that are approved providers of "supplemental educational services" may receive payment to help eligible disadvantaged public school students improve academically by offering them tutoring and other academic enrichment services.
Signed into law by President George W. Bush in 2002, NCLB provides for supplemental educational services for disadvantaged students. Supplemental educational services are tutoring and other academic enrichment provided outside of the regular school day to help improve students' achievement in reading, language arts, and math. Parents of eligible students may obtain these services for their children free of charge from an approved provider of their choice. Under NCLB, private schools, along with other faith-based and community organizations, are eligible to apply to provide this help.
Where this help is needed
Every year, each state department of education identifies the public schools in the state that are "in need of improvement." The law requires that supplemental educational services be made available to students from low-income families attending Title I public schools that state departments of education have determined to be in need of improvement for two or more years.1 Check your state department of education's Web site for listings of such schools, or call your local school district to learn if students in schools in your area are eligible for this extra help.
How to provide supplemental educational services
Your private school must apply to your state department of education to become an approved provider. Once your school is approved, you may market your services so that parents of eligible students can choose your school to provide supplemental educational services to their children. After parents choose your school, you will enter into an agreement with the local public school district of the students you will serve.
"I want to ask you to offer your services for this important cause. The president and I hope you will consider becoming providers of supplemental educational services."
U.S. Secretary of Education
Margaret Spellings
How a provider becomes approved
Each state department of education must develop and apply objective criteria for approving supplemental educational services providers. The criteria for approving providers, as well as the list of approved providers, must be published.
To receive approval, a provider must:
- Have a demonstrated record of effectiveness in increasing student academic achievement;
- Use instructional strategies that are high quality, based upon research, and designed to increase student academic achievement;
- Provide services that are consistent with the instructional program of the local school district and with state academic content and achievement standards;
- Be financially sound; and
- Provide supplemental educational services consistent with applicable federal, state, and local health, safety, and civil rights laws.
A state department of education has flexibility in developing its approval process, but it must provide an opportunity at least annually for new providers to apply for inclusion on the state list, and it must ensure that interested providers are adequately informed of the application process. A state may establish a reasonable period of time during which additional providers may apply, be approved, and be added to the list of providers.
How a provider is paid for its services
A local school district pays each provider for the supplemental educational services the provider delivers to the district's students. The school district enters into an agreement with each provider that includes, among other things, the schedule of payments. The amount of funds available per student will vary from one school district to another. To find out approximately how much is available in your area, visit the U.S. Department of Education's Web site at www.ed.gov/about/overview/budget/titlei/fy05/index.html. The figures listed on this site are updated for each school year as information becomes available.
A supplemental services provider, merely by being a provider, is not considered a "recipient of federal financial assistance." As a result, certain federal requirements that apply to recipients of federal financial assistance are not directly applicable to a provider unless the provider otherwise receives federal financial assistance for other purposes. For more information, please see Supplemental Educational Services Non-Regulatory Guidance, C-3, available at www.ed.gov/policy/elsec/guid/suppsvcsguid.doc (882K).
Are religious private schools eligible to be supplemental educational services providers?
Yes. A religious private school is eligible to become a provider of supplemental educational services on the same basis as any other private entity, if it meets the applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. In approving potential providers, a state department of education may not discriminate against a religious private school on the basis of the school's religious character or affiliation.
A religious private school or other faith-based organization that becomes a provider may retain its independence, autonomy, right of expression, religious character, and authority over its governance. As with other faith-based organizations, it may retain religious terms in its name, continue to carry out its mission, and use its facilities to provide services without removing or altering religious art, icons, scriptures, or other symbols from areas where supplemental educational services are provided. As a provider, a religious private school may not discriminate on the basis of religion against students receiving supplemental educational services.
Federal funds may not be used to support religious practices, such as religious instruction, worship, or prayer. (Religious private schools and other faith-based organizations may offer such practices but not as part of the supplemental educational services.) Religious private schools, like other providers, must ensure that the instruction and content of the supplemental educational services they provide are secular, neutral, and nonideological.
For more information, please see Supplemental Educational Services Non-Regulatory Guidance, C-9, available at www.ed.gov/policy/elsec/guid/suppsvcsguid.doc, (882K), and Regulations on the Participation of Faith-Based and Community Organizations in Department Programs, 34 CFR § 80.36(j), available at www.ed.gov/policy/fund/reg/fbci-reg.html.
Where to look for more information
For information about supplemental educational services opportunities for private schools, contact:

[1] A "Title I public school" is a public elementary or secondary school that receives federal funds under Title I, Part A, of NCLB because it has a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families. More than half of all public schools (55 percent) are Title I public schools. A Title I public school uses federal funds to provide additional educational services to students who are failing, or most at risk of failing, to meet the state's high academic achievement standards. Under NCLB, all public schools must be held accountable for the achievement of their students by making adequate yearly progress (AYP). If a Title I public school does not make AYP for two consecutive years, it is identified as "in need of improvement."

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.

Are you a student at another Penn State campus and are looking to transfer to Penn State Behrend to complete your studies? Our academic advisers, staff, and faculty will work with you to ensure your transition is a smooth one.
Students with questions concerning a change of campus to Behrend should contact Jane Brady, the Behrend College Registrar.
First-year undergraduate students who are admitted to the University may begin their studies at one of twenty Penn State campuses. All of these campuses generally provide the basic foundation courses required for first- and second-year students, and students are expected to complete two full years of academic work at the campus to which they are originally admitted.
Students requesting an early change of campus to Behrend must obtain the approval of their current campus as well as have the approval of the Behrend College Registrar's Office in order to process the change.
Students generally declare their academic major at the end of their second year of enrollment during the entrance to major (ETM) process. If a student applies for a major that is not offered at the student's current location, the student will be required to select an approved location during the ETM process. If the student participates in the entrance to major process, completes the requirements of the intended major and has earned more than 43.1 credits by the end of the appropriate fall semester, then a change of campus will be automatically processed. If the student has less than 43.1 credits or is not part of the ETM process, the student must file a change of campus request at the Registrar's Office at their location. In all cases, the student is notified of the decision electronically.
Once students' change of campuses to Behrend are approved, students will be assigned advisers. Pre-major students with academic goals and major students are assigned advisers in Behrend's academic schools. Students can also seek advising assistance in Behrend's Academic and Career Planning Center (ACPC).
Change of campus students who wish to apply for on-campus housing at Penn State Behrend must do so through the eLiving Housing Contract System. Those students planning to live off-campus should review housing opportunities made available through the Division of Student Affairs at Behrend.

Health officials confirm several cases of an illness caused by the waterborne parasite cryptosporidium in northern Milwaukee suburbs.
The North Shore Health Department says eight cases of cryptosporidiosis are confirmed in Bayside, Fox Point and Whitefish Bay, and there are also 12 probable cases.
Both children and adults have been affected.
Health officials say the crypto source is not drinking water, but they are looking at pools and lakes.
WISN-TV (http://bit.ly/1awtl9e ) reports children at two schools were sent home with letters because students had the illness.
The health department says the cases first started being reported in early September.
Symptoms include stomach cramps and diarrhea.
In 1993, the parasite entered Milwaukee's municipal water supply, leading to the deaths of as many as 100 people and sickening hundreds of thousands more.
