Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff

more flashback please!!!!... how about the training he undergone on how he become a dragon.... about the snake sage and everything in that place hmmmm? flashback, flashback,flashback,flashback,flashback i love it....:D:D:D
Flashback ends with Kabuto looking down.
Sasuke: So you think by becoming like Orochimaru you can truly understand yourself?
Kabuto: More or less. Regardless of my decisions, I transformed myself into this for other purposes as well.
Itachi: What purposes?
Kabuto: I needed a strong body and mind to achieve the highest level of doujutsu out there.
Sasuke: You want the eternal mangekyou sharingan?
Itachi: No...he's going for..
Scene switches to Tobi and Naruto
....the rinnegan(shows Tobi on top of Gedo Mazou whos brawling with Bee.
Gai is in the seventh gate who's in front of Naruto who's in sage mode preparing a rasen shuriken.
Naruto: Ready kakashi sensei!
Kakashi; Good, now hold it still!
Kakashi uses Raikiri torrent to stream his lightning inside the rasenshuriken.
Naruto: Woah..
Kakashi: I'm ready, do it Gai!
Gai: Right.
Gai jumps up in front of the statue.
Gai: Bee, move!
Bee jumps out of the way.
Gai: Hirudora!
Tobi: ...and here I thought they knew chakra attacks won't work on me.
Tobi sticks his hand out to try and absorb it, his hand is also controlling Gedo Mazou so theoretically, the Gedo Mazou shares the same body.
Hirudora blasts through Gedo Mazou's hand and continues for it's chest.
Tobi: ....I see, now I know why I couldn't see the attack, it's not made of chakra....
Gai: Howl my youth!
Tobi: Too fast, I can't slip this entire mass through it!
Gedo Mazou is his in the chest, a hole is made right through it.
Tobi: Urgh....I'll regenerate that soon eno--
Out of the smoke comes Naruto and Kakashi.
Naruto/Kakashi: Storm release, RasenRaiShuriken!
The shuriken is launched inside the hole.
Tobi: What are they doing? They just missed Gedo Mazou?
Naruto in sage mode expands the shuriken
The statue takes a heavy hit and is on the ground.
Tobi: Your efforts are futile, my statue can take any attack.
Naruto: You sure about that?
Tobi: !?? What, Why can't I feel it's chakra? I can't even move it?
Naruto: My rasenshuriken destroys chakra cells, your statue won't be able to use any of your techniques anymore.
Kakashi: And if you cannot use any jutsu, you're left with taijutsu, which is where my lightning release came in. Your statue wont be able to move under it's nullified body.
Naruto: Do it Bee!
Tobi: !
Bee: Yeahhhhhhhhhhh Bijuudama!
Gedo Mazou is hit and blows up.
Out in the smoke we see Tobi standing there.
Naruto: Just one left.
Kakashi: Get ready.
Gai: This will be the finale.
Bee: Let's go!
Chapter end.
585- Kabuto ultimate being
Kabuto is laying on the bed, after surgery
Kabuto: still, I dont know who I am!
Kabuto reminds Orochimaru speech about how to find out his right indentify
Kabuto smiles
Next we see Kabuto doing summoning no jutsu and seeing Manda is dead
Kabuto(thinking): What?! Why Manda is dead, maybe Sasuke used it, it is possible. I can't believe that is how Manda ended, but I can't let Orochimaru summon be dead, it would be huge waste.
Kabuto is doing experiments on Manda remains.
Kabuto(thinking):I will recreate Manda, more powerfull, bigger with my special drugs!.
Then we move to another scene, Kabuto is now reading all Orochimaru notes
Kabuto: yes, Yes, The knowledge is my power.
Then we see Kabuto after meeting with Naruto
Kabuto(thinking): Naruto-kun, you are my inspiration of my new being, I will surprass Orochimaru, and I will find out who I am.
Kabuto: It the best for me to use same genious method as you use, Naruto-kun.(grining)
Kabuto: Kage bunshin, with Orochimaru chakra, and other abillities I can use Kage bunshin to speed up my progress, because my amount of chakra increased a lot.
Then we see few differents panels, In first, second, and third we see Kabuto, who is robbing graves, first and second are random's graves, in third in the grave we see body of Uchiha Madara, Kabuto is smilling.
Kabuto(thinking): Edo Tensei, the most darkest technique and most powerfull, with proper knowledge and DNA of strongest shinobi.
In the same time we see other Kabuto , who is studying Orochimaru technique and excersising them.
Kabuto: I almost perfected these techniques(grininng)
And in the same time, we see Kabuto meeting with snake sage. In next few panels, we see Kabuto training sage jutsu and thinkings.
we see Kabuto who is injecting in himself blood of Jyugo, Karin and Suigetsu.
Next page show Kabuto sage mode traning progress.
Next page show Some Ninja coming back to village from mission. They are talking about details of Fourth Great Ninja War. After they are gone, we see snake who is moving behind tree.
Kabuto: Interesting, I think it is time for me to get Uchiha Sasuke, he is last lacking piece in my collection.
Later we see Kabuto evil laughing in hideout.
Kabuto: with everything I have gathered or done. I am ready for Fourth Great shinobi Ninja War!, It is time to meet him
Finally we see End of Kabuto flashback
We see Kabuto with lowered head and he is slowly lifting his head
Itachi, Sasuke:?!
Kabuto: you are right Itachi, I still dont know who truly I am, I am creation of many experiments.. I was building up my false indentify from others people through many times. I am not human any more.
Kabuto: there are only two ways for me find out, First is meet Sage of six paths personally, or I can become be Sage of six paths and posses knowledge about everything.
Itachi, Sasuke:?!
Kabuto: That why , I can't die here, even if you force me stop edo tensei, I will survive to find answer of my indentify!!
Itachi: I am sorry, but you wishes ened here and now, you are under Izanami working.
Kabuto: Sage art: forbidden art of reborn live!!
What will happen to Kabuto, what is the forbidden senjutsu technique
These are not writen by me just want to give people something too read.
i hope next week chapter isn't a flash back

Then why are B and A still alive? Kakashi had the short number of flashback chapters to when Obito died, but that was long before the Pain Invasion, so would you really count that? Gaara never got a flashback, even though he was revived. There's a large hole in that theory, man. Not hatin', just sayin'.

Catharine Auch & Matthew Watson
Whether you want something fancy, personal or someone to transport even your guests
The bride and groom
photographs by Dru Nadler
The New England Patriots winning Super Bowl XXXVIII was not the highlight of the evening for Catharine Cynthia Auch and Matthew Connor Watson; meeting each other was the real touchdown. The two hit it off at a Super Bowl party hosted by a mutual friend. Eight years later, one cozy evening at home, Matthew proposed to Catharine.
Reverend Terence Elsberry officiated the ceremony at the Belle Haven Club, where a reception followed. Katie and Matt, as the newlyweds are known, left the party through an archway of sparklers held by guests to an awaiting boat that took them on an evening cruise.
The bride, daughter of Skip and Lynne Auch of Greenwich, graduated from Greenwich High School and Lafayette College. She is an interior designer for the Greenwich firm Katherine Cowdin.
The groom, son of Bill and Beth Watson of Port Chester, New York, graduated from Greenwich High School, Berkshire School and the French Culinary Institute in New York. Matt is the co-owner of Corbo's Corner Deli in Greenwich.
The newlyweds honeymooned in Spain before returning home to Stamford.

11 NCAA Div. III national team championships
PELLA—In an effort led by the Central College athletic training staff, March has been declared National Athletic Training Month in Pella.
Assistant athletic trainer Dustin Briggs and head athletic trainer Frank Neu headed a delegation of some 30 Central athletic training students at Tuesday night's Pella City Council meeting. Pella Mayor James Mueller signed the proclamation.
"Recently the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) coordinated the fourth Youth Sports Safety Summit in Washington D.C.," Briggs said. "Several initiatives focusing on prevention, recognition, and care of four catastrophic injuries including cardiac events, neurologic injuries, environmental/exertional conditions and dietary/substance-?induced conditions were put forth. The response from this summit has been far reaching and it is every athletic trainer's hope that we can reduce risk and increase the continuity of care of youth athletes at levels through better coverage, training, preparedness, and education."
The promotion is sponsored by the NATA, which represents and supports 35,000 members of the athletic training profession in a variety of settings. This year's theme is "Every Body Needs an Athletic Trainer."
Central's athletic training department seeks to raise awareness in the surrounding communities by promoting the need for athletic trainers in all high schools.
Governor Terry Branstad will sign a state proclamation declaring March National Athletic Training Month in Iowa March 6.

Hello. So, this is kind of weird, but here it goes:
DS is 5 months old, and was an extremely colicky baby through week 12. Milk has always and still does spray out of my breast with the first letdown and leak copiously from the other breast. DS had green, watery, frothy, explosive stools for the first 6 weeks, and then the color got normal, but the frothiness/wateriness/explosiveness has continued periodically to this day. DS also gained weight rapidly at first, 3 pounds in the first 6 weeks. Then his weight gain levelled off to a more normal rate. All classic oversupply symptoms, right?
So, here's where I'm confused: I discovered info. about oversupply when DS was 4 weeks old and began block feeding. I would do 6-12 hours on one breast sometimes. My supply tapered off at about 8 weeks. Sometimes it would even seem a bit low to me b/c DS would suck for long periods of time without swallowing and would fuss at the breast. So, around 8 weeks I started using both breasts at most feedings (would switch him when he started to suck a bunch with no swallow and fuss, usually there had already been 2 letdowns by then). At this point, I was in the throes of trying to identify what was making him cry all the time still. He was fussy almost constantly, but was always much worse when he needed to poop. He would cry and strain for hours, sometimes refusing to eat, until the poop exploded out of him, and then he would immediately eat a good meal and fall asleep. I was constantly looking for GERD symptoms, changing my diet around a whole bunch, etc. Around 12 weeks, the contant crying stopped, concurrent with me going on a rice/chicken/pears diet (that was fun) and concurrent with me consistently pulling him off of the breast to spray the first letdown into a cloth, even though he would complain when I did this. I breathed a sigh of relief. He still had trouble pooping, though, with alot of straining and fussing, and I often had to help him go. If I didn't help him every few days or so, his belly would swell up and he would get fussier and fussier until I finally helped him poop and then he would settle down for awhile. The poops were still very soft, often watery, and sometimes frothy, always accompanied by copious amounts of gas.
So, here is where we are at today: I had long ago stopped worrying about oversupply/overactive letdown. By about 3.5 months, DS actually seemed to like the fast flow and would fuss and complain when it slowed. He will only take a bottle with a fast flow nipple, I think just b/c he is so used to having milk shoot down his throat. My breasts still spray with letdown, and still leak somtimes, but generally leak a lot less than they used to and feel much softer. DS is a much happier baby nowadays, but has continued to have problems pooping. I was still having to help him at least every other day to avoid a very upset baby. I have been gradually adding things back into my diet since the rice/pears/chicken days, watching for reactions. So far, I thought I saw reactions to gluten and dairy, but both times I wasn't entirely sure since he sometimes has fussy days regardless, and he always has trouble with poop no matter what. These days, he is actually gaining weight a bit slowly, which has me a little concerned, but he is active, bright eyed, and meeting all of his milestones so I'm not that worried about it. Our biggest concern of late has been his terrible sleep. He would often eat for only short periods during the day (5 minutes or less), and would pull on and off the breast, and frequently bite the nipple, but would happily wake every 1-2 hours at night to suck away contentedly, half asleep, for long nursing sessions. I have never been able to sleep through a nursing session, and he was starting to get so sensitive to any movement and noise while sleeping, that we finally gave up on co-sleeping (we had been co-sleeping since birth). I was going crazy with exhaustion, and so bought a crib and began a sleep training routine last week (believe me, this was a desperate response for me, I never thought I would be sleep training my baby).
So, here's the question: Since I started the sleep training, I have been feeding him twice/night. This is in contrast to the 6-8 times/night he was eating before. Lo and behold, he is all of the sudden not having pooping problems! He seems to only need to go about every other day, but does so on his own with minimal discomfort. I don't even know he's gone sometimes! This is shocking after 5 months of holding the crying, screaming baby who is trying to poop. I have actually been worrying about him not getting enough to eat during the sleep training since his weight gain had slowed over the past month or so, although the doctor didn't seem concerned and just told me to keep an eye on it. Just tonight, it occured to me that maybe I was still having oversupply/letdown issues after all this time! I had heard that some babies actually gain weight slowly with oversupply. Why is this, by the way? Is it b/c they are having trouble digesting all the milk, or b/c they are refusing to eat enough?
Could it be that DS got used to having a very full belly, and got used to fast letdown, and so was overeating at night while trying to comfort nurse back to sleep? BTW, since we started the sleep training, he is also eating better during the day, more relaxed, longer nursing sessions. His belly is no longer swollen either, and he seems more content during the day, despite the fact that I'm sure he is tired and stressed from the challenges of the sleep training. He continues to have 5-6 wet diapers/day, and doesn't necessarily even eat that voraciously for his two night feeds, so I do think he is getting enough milk. Actually, he used to have more like 10-12 wet diapers/day, and would often have leaks. So, he must be getting less milk than he was, but maybe that is OK, even a good thing?
What do you guys think?

Remarks by the PresidentSeptember 12,2013Editors note: What follows is an edited transcript of the presidents remarks Tuesday night.
President Barack Obama
My fellow Americans, tonight I want to talk to you about Syria why it matters, and where we go from here.
Over the past two years, what began as a series of peaceful protests against the repressive regime of Bashar al-Assad has turned into a brutal civil war. Over 100,000 people have been killed. Millions have fled the country. In that time, America has worked with allies to provide humanitarian support, to help the moderate opposition, and to shape a political settlement. But I have resisted calls for military action, because we cannot resolve someone elses civil war through force, particularly after a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The situation profoundly changed, though, on Aug. 21, when Assads government gassed to death over a thousand people, including hundreds of children. The images from this massacre are sickening: Men, women, children lying in rows, killed by poison gas. Others foaming at the mouth, gasping for breath. A father clutching his dead children, imploring them to get up and walk. On that terrible night, the world saw in gruesome detail the terrible nature of chemical weapons, and why the overwhelming majority of humanity has declared them off-limits a crime against humanity, and a violation of the laws of war.
This was not always the case. In World War I, American GIs were among the many thousands killed by deadly gas in the trenches of Europe. In World War II, the Nazis used gas to inflict the horror of the Holocaust. Because these weapons can kill on a mass scale, with no distinction between soldier and infant, the civilized world has spent a century working to ban them. And in 1997, the United States Senate overwhelmingly approved an international agreement prohibiting the use of chemical weapons, now joined by 189 governments that represent 98 percent of humanity.
On Aug. 21, these basic rules were violated, along with our sense of common humanity. No one disputes that chemical weapons were used in Syria. The world saw thousands of videos, cell phone pictures, and social media accounts from the attack, and humanitarian organizations told stories of hospitals packed with people who had symptoms of poison gas.
If we fail to act, the Assad regime will see no reason to stop using chemical weapons. As the ban against these weapons erodes, other tyrants will have no reason to think twice about acquiring poison gas, and using them. Over time, our troops would again face the prospect of chemical warfare on the battlefield. And it could be easier for terrorist organizations to obtain these weapons, and to use them to attack civilians.
If fighting spills beyond Syrias borders, these weapons could threaten allies like Turkey, Jordan, and Israel. And a failure to stand against the use of chemical weapons would weaken prohibitions against other weapons of mass destruction, and embolden Assads ally, Iran which must decide whether to ignore international law by building a nuclear weapon, or to take a more peaceful path.
This is not a world we should accept. This is whats at stake. And that is why, after careful deliberation, I determined that it is in the national security interests of the United States to respond to the Assad regimes use of chemical weapons through a targeted military strike. The purpose of this strike would be to deter Assad from using chemical weapons, to degrade his regimes ability to use them, and to make clear to the world that we will not tolerate their use.
Thats my judgment as Commander-in-Chief. But Im also the President of the worlds oldest constitutional democracy. So even though I possess the authority to order military strikes, I believed it was right, in the absence of a direct or imminent threat to our security, to take this debate to Congress. I believe our democracy is stronger when the President acts with the support of Congress. And I believe that America acts more effectively abroad when we stand together.
... Its no wonder, then, that youre asking hard questions. So let me answer some of the most important questions that Ive heard from members of Congress, and that Ive read in letters that youve sent to me.
First, many of you have asked, wont this put us on a slippery slope to another war? One man wrote to me that we are still recovering from our involvement in Iraq. A veteran put it more bluntly: This nation is sick and tired of war.
My answer is simple: I will not put American boots on the ground in Syria. I will not pursue an open-ended action like Iraq or Afghanistan. I will not pursue a prolonged air campaign like Libya or Kosovo. This would be a targeted strike to achieve a clear objective: deterring the use of chemical weapons, and degrading Assads capabilities.
Others have asked whether its worth acting if we dont take out Assad. As some members of Congress have said, theres no point in simply doing a pinprick strike in Syria.
Let me make something clear: The United States military doesnt do pinpricks. Even a limited strike will send a message to Assad that no other nation can deliver. I dont think we should remove another dictator with force we learned from Iraq that doing so makes us responsible for all that comes next. But a targeted strike can make Assad, or any other dictator, think twice before using chemical weapons.
Other questions involve the dangers of retaliation. We dont dismiss any threats, but the Assad regime does not have the ability to seriously threaten our military. Any other retaliation they might seek is in line with threats that we face every day. Neither Assad nor his allies have any interest in escalation that would lead to his demise. And our ally, Israel, can defend itself with overwhelming force, as well as the unshakeable support of the United States of America.
Many of you have asked a broader question: Why should we get involved at all in a place thats so complicated, and where as one person wrote to me those who come after Assad may be enemies of human rights?
Its true that some of Assads opponents are extremists. But al-Qaida will only draw strength in a more chaotic Syria if people there see the world doing nothing to prevent innocent civilians from being gassed to death. The majority of the Syrian people and the Syrian opposition we work with just want to live in peace, with dignity and freedom. And the day after any military action, we would redouble our efforts to achieve a political solution that strengthens those who reject the forces of tyranny and extremism.
... Over the last few days, weve seen some encouraging signs. In part because of the credible threat of U.S. military action, as well as constructive talks that I had with President Putin, the Russian government has indicated a willingness to join with the international community in pushing Assad to give up his chemical weapons. The Assad regime has now admitted that it has these weapons, and even said theyd join the Chemical Weapons Convention, which prohibits their use.
Its too early to tell whether this offer will succeed, and any agreement must verify that the Assad regime keeps its commitments. But this initiative has the potential to remove the threat of chemical weapons without the use of force, particularly because Russia is one of Assads strongest allies.
... America is not the worlds policeman. Terrible things happen across the globe, and it is beyond our means to right every wrong. But when, with modest effort and risk, we can stop children from being gassed to death, and thereby make our own children safer over the long run, I believe we should act. Thats what makes America different. Thats what makes us exceptional. With humility, but with resolve, let us never lose sight of that essential truth.
Thank you. God bless you. And God bless the United States of America.MORE IN CommentarySure, you can buy your uncle a necktie that he wont wear, or your niece an Amazon certificate...

Bosley was most honored WVU lineman
MORGANTOWN – Rene Henry wrote from Seattle, Wash., to ask why the late Bruce Bosley's football jersey number hasn't been retired yet.
His reference is to probably the greatest lineman in West Virginia University's football history. He excelled as a tackle and guard, playing both ways, in 1952-53-54-55.
Bosley, who grew up in tiny Green Bank, was the most honored who ever wore the Gold and Blue. He made a school-record 12 All-America first-teams in 1955.
Sam Huff, who was a teammate, was the first football player to have his jersey number retired. And he made only four All-America teams, though he certainly was an all-time great lineman.
So was the late fullback Ira Errett "Rat" Rodgers, who was sole captain of the football, basketball and baseball teams as a senior in 1919. He stayed at WVU as a long-time head coach with football, baseball and golf.
Rodgers' number in football also has been retired.
The only other jersey numbers in retirement were Jerry West's and Hot Rod Hundley's in basketball. They remain the top two in that sport.
There is a criteria to grade whoever has a voice or vote in retiring jersey numbers. And the thought herein is that Bruce Bosley will qualify eventually.
He made a total of 12 All-America first teams in 1955 as a senior. Those were:
Collier, International News Service, United Press, The Sports News, New York News, Williamson Rating System, Hearst Newspapers, Paramount News, All-America Board, Boston Record American, Gridiron Weekly and Players' (Norman Sper).
Henry watched the muscular Bosley perform during a couple of years in the 1950s as interim WVU sports information director. He was filling in for Ellis Barett, who was serving in the military at the time.
So he's certainly familiar with Bosley's ability at WVU and in the NFL, where he was mostly an All-Pro center. He spent most of his career with the San Francisco 49ers.
Bosley is in the WVU Sports Hall of Fame, the College Football Hall of Fame and the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
As a tackle, Bosley became the school's second consensus All-American – the first since Rodgers in 1919. He was a leader as WVU posted a 31-7 record during his four years in the Mountaineers' lineup.
He also earned Academic All-America honors. He played in the College All-Star game, the Senior Bowl and the North-South Game, the latter fresh out of high school.
The Associated Press named Bosley the National Player of the Week following WVU's 19-14 upset of Penn State in 1954, his junior year.
He was a second-round draft pick of San Francisco in 1956 and became an immediate starter at defensive end. Bosley also played tackle and guard before switching to center and excelled as a blocker.
Bosley served as president of the NFL Alumni Association.
"Bruce was elected to the California legislature," Henry noted. "And he died of a heart attack at a black-tie charity event in his honor."

1.) So she can strut around half-naked and there isn't a peep from the FCC - but Janet Jackson's performance a few years ago for something that was practically a non-issue that not everyone saw was flagged inappropriate? FCC claims the Super Bowl is a "family show" - at least wear something on stage
2.) If you watched the entire half time show, there were a number of times when you hear her voice coming through the speakers, but the mic wasn't near her mouth, someone explain that?

Dar Williams
In The Time of Gods
Razor & Tie
Release: 17 April 2012
Dar Williams has always been a household name growing up on the East Coast. She's notably a talented singer songwriter whom I… never paid a single ounce of mind to, for no justifiable reason. I guess when I wanted folk music, I went to Ani DiFranco and never looked any further. I think that "go to" has happened to many of us, but tonight I listened to a Dar Williams album in it's entirely, a few times actually.
First off I will admit this isn't my first choice in music anymore, yet I found myself in a somber place in life tonight and the album greeted me with open arms. Dar writes beautiful songs. She has a beautiful voice and writes beautiful lyrics. If you listen to her music, I can't imagine this album would be anything but a satisfying add to your collection of her albums. For a non listener such as myself, I am going to take away this stand out track: "I will free myself". Next Tuesday when this album drops I ask you to listen carefully to this aforementioned track. I have played it about 10 times so far. Each time as soon as I hear the opening notes, chords, and vocals they force me to pause: and listen. Maybe it's my situation, or maybe Dar has just been this good all along and this is what you miss when you focus on that one artist that's gets you by with what you already know. Makes me grateful to always expand my focus.

Science-based medicine, skepticism, and the scientific consensus
Editor's note: This weekend was a big grant writing weekend for me. I'm resubmitting my R01, which means that between now and July 1 or so, my life is insanity, as I try to rewrite it into a form that has a fighting chance of being in the top 7%, which is about the level the NCI is funding at right now. This weekend, I buried myself in my Sanctum Sanctorum and tried like heck to try to pound the revision into a really good draft that I can distribute to my colleagues for feedback. Fortunately, I have some old posts that I can pull out, tart up (i.e., update a bit, as in correcting the parts that led me to groan as I reread them, thereby hopefully making them better). I think they're quite good, if I do say so myself; so hopefully you will too.
There are some arguments made in blogs, articles, or books that strike me so hard that I remember them, even three and a half years later. Sometimes I even file them away for later use or response if the issue raised by them is interesting, relevant or compelling enough to me. Although this topic is a bit broader than many of the topics I write about for this blog, I think it also goes to the heart of science-based medicine and communicating scientific skepticism about medicine to the masses. A few years back, a Swedish blogger named Martin Rundkvist made a rather provocative observation about skepticism. Specifically, he argued that a "real skeptic always sides with scientific consensus." Among his reasons was this one:
Science presupposes that all participants have a skeptical frame of mind and arrive at conclusions through rational deliberation. If a large group of knowledgeable people working in this way arrive at a consensus opinion, then there is really no good reason for anybody with less knowledge of the subject to question it. Informed consensus is how scientific truth is established. It's always provisional and open to reevaluation, but as long as there's informed consensus, then that's our best knowledge. Humanity's best knowledge.
Although at the time I saw where Martin was coming from, I found this viewpoint somewhat disturbing, leading me to echo Martin's own words in response to his own rhetorical question asking whether accepting a scientific consensus is nothing more than "kowtowing to white-coated authority": Well, yes and no.

No press allowed: A step back for PE transparency
The London School of Economics yesterday held an Alternative Asset Conference at London's Marriott hotel in Grosvenor Square, but why was press reporting restricted?
The press were invited to hear from the world of private equity with press passes printed for Financial News/Private Equity News, Reuters, Bloomberg, The Economist, the Financial Times, Unquote, PEI Media et al. Except there was a last minute hitch: the press were not allowed to attend all but a few of the talks on the agenda.
Canada Pension Plan and Silver Lake raised concerns over the presence of the press, according to two event organisers at the event, and other firms appear to have followed suit.
"We obviously wanted the publicity for the event," one organiser admitted. "But we were told that these speakers might not turn up at all if we allowed the press in."
It's a shame as the private equity industry has been trying to demonstrate to the public that it is a transparent and accountable sector that has nothing to hide from the public. A last-minute press blackout will hardly help shrug off allegations of secrecy and lack of disclosure.
Some of the speakers were also important, including Alain Carrier, a board member of the Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board, a investment body which invests Canadian public sector pension money, whose website says it helps "sustain the future pensions of 18 million Canadians".
However, a revised schedule said his views were off limits. In fact, only four of the day's 13 planned speeches were marked "press allowed" in the revised day's agenda. Other firms that had a press ban on their sessions were: CVC Capital Partners, BC Partners, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, Apollo Global Management, Montagu Private Equity, TPG Capital and Goldman Sachs Alternative Investments & Manager Selection Group.
The few that were happy for press to attend were: Silicon Valley Bank, Dechert, Greenoaks Capital Management, Advent Venture Partners and Intel Capital.
A spokeswoman for the LSE conference said some of the "no press" sections of the event had been expressly requested, while others had simply not specified either way in time for the event. She said she did not know which firms had gone out of their way to ban the press.
A spokesman for BC Partners and Montagu said he had not been contacted regarding the decision to ban the press, KKR said it had not agreed to a press ban, while all other firms were either unavailable for comment in time to respond to this article.

The official action came after trustees accepted Wright's resignation following a closed meeting.
Wright said he has purchased a new home outside of his single member district No. 4, which means he can't represent that district on the school board. Wright has served five years on the board and would have had another year left on his term.
He said he has put his heart into serving the district, more specifically the kids, and making the educational environment in Refugio a good one.
He said he is not considering running again.
"I would not run against anyone on the board. They are doing good work," he said.
He added that if an open position came up, he would consider running again.
"We regret he is leaving," Superintendent Jack Gaskins said.
Gaskins said that after the board's closed session, a discussion on whether to appoint or call for an election to fill the empty position ensued.
Gaskins said school trustees have 180 days to decide on appointing someone or calling an election to fill the position.
In other business, the school board approved cancelling the school board election for single member district No. 6 and single member district No. 7, positions held by Andy Rocha and Ethel Garza.
The board also unanimously approved the purchase of new band uniforms for the 2014-15 school year. The cost for 130 uniforms was $41,578.
The board again gave their approval of Relay for Life using the baseball diamond with no fee. They decided that no fires would be allowed, or small canopies or tents.
The trustees also approved continuation of the tuition charge for pre-kindergarten non-eligible students for 2014-15. The charge is $300, which incudes a free breakfast and free lunch.

Scrutiny is increasing over the spending of private donor money under the tenure of former University of Hawaii at Manoa Athletics Director Jim Donovan.
The small rock garden outside of the athletics department at the lower Manoa campus is just one of the things that Donovan submitted receipts for.
It listed $1,300 for materials on a project that Donovan said included donated labor to give a facelift to a weed patch.
Sounds reasonable and looks nice enough, but is there more to the picture than meets the eye?
Is there more to the stacks of receipts released publicly, which included travel and meals for staff which Donovan said covered what public funding fell short on.
The foundation did reimburse many meals for donors and sponsors, a practice not unreasonable to further advance the UH Athletics program.
It also included meals for print and broadcast sports writers including KITV's.
A media watchdog group cautions about the practice.
"The journalist has to think for himself to accept even a lunch or friendly dinner from a source that I am going to cover. You have to think 'I am going to cover this person, I have to assure the person that I can be fair.' How would that appear to the public that I was presumably serving. It raises some serious questions," said Gerald Kato of the Hawaii Media Council.
And there are questions about the foundation's oversight.
It did reject a receipt for Neiman Marcus candy for the athletics office.
But in the stacks there is a Costco receipt for champagne sent to newspaper publisher Dennis Francis to congratulate him for the merger with the Honolulu Advertiser.
It was initially rejected, but when it was resubmitted, the justification was modified to say it was to encourage relations with the state's only daily paper and it was approved.
Donovan maintains the newspaper is a major corporate sponsor.
Under tenure, he says his efforts increased planned giving from $4 million to $11 million.
Was Donovan's spending out of line? Should there be more Foundation oversight?
Kato's take on it? "The administrator needs to be careful in how you spend the money, whether it's public money or private money, It is still somebody else's money," said Kato.
And, getting back to that rock garden: the Home Depot receipts call for four pagodas and glue to anchor them securely.
But the pagodas are nowhere to be found.
Not a big ticket deal, but certainly something that begs for more scrutiny.

Crystal Yasuda came down to Orient Travel to buy a ticket for her trip to South Korea.
She leaves the day after tomorrow. Yasuda has not visited Korea in 8 years.
She isn't frightened off by Kim Jon Un's threats.
"He try to flex his muscle. He is a young leader so he has to has to show his power," Yasuda said.
North Korea's leader has not only threatened South Korea, but Guam, Japan and Hawaii.
Yasuda thinks the younger Korean leader is a bit of a crybaby, but she doesn't think the country will make good on the threats.
"I don't think they are that crazy," Yasuda said.
Agency owner Albert Kim says while customers are a nervous, there has only been one booking for a party of six that has cancelled outright.
Without a state department advisory, travelers risk cancellation penalties or not getting refunds on airlines tickets or hotels.
So, there are lots of questions.
"Like I said, they have some concerns. Before they actually purchase, almost every one of them is asking is it okay? Is it safe?" said Kim.
Other travel companies say Korea bookings are down from last year.
"As far as tours are concerned it has slowed down in the last two weeks and not too many requests actually," said Kim.
Another customer is confident enough to book a fall trip to Seoul with a group of 30.
"I feel safe because the American government has not warned us not to go. I have faith in the American government." said Honolulu resident Beverly Look.
And North Korea's tough talk isn't about to stop a group of diehard soap opera fans.
"Some of them watch Korean Dramas and they are into the Korean dramas and they want to see some of the sights where they film it,"said Look.
A real-life Korean military drama may be playing out on the international stage, but for now Hawaii travelers are still planning on enjoying the cherry blossoms and Korean food.

Meeting Gisela for the first time, the spanish winner of It's my time, back in New York.
I realize how important is language to communicate, but how irrelevant it could be to express feelings and moods. Gisela was glowing and blooming, with a sincere, innocent smile in her face, enjoying a special moment surrounded by people she just met and she couldn't really understand what they were saying, but everything was surrounded of unspeakable happiness.
How could a young and rookie girl feel so relaxed out of his comfort zone? It was the first time she traveled abroad in these circumstances, the first time she was in a party like that, at the top of the world… oh my God… she was in New York for the next campaign of an international brand like Benetton. But no anxieties, just a contagious, spontaneous, positive and natural state of mind with no room for hesitation.
The day of the session with Josh Olins I thought Gisela would be more nervous, but finally excitation was the word to described her behavior. Jet-lagged, but excited like the others, she entered into industrial space in the Meatpacking District, where the shooting was taking place, with the freshness of a beginner, but, at the same time, with the decisiveness of a veteran. She was impressed by the hugeness of the place, and like me, she wanted to keep all of the wardrobe goodies and all of the Benetton Fall-Winter 2010/2011 stuff!
Despite of the gazillion professional eyes (kindly) analyzing every step, and under the pressure of an amazing photographer in front of her, Gisela rocked the set with her latin flair and her graceful shyness. Well done!

|SS Beagle
|Class 4 stardrive vessel
|United Federation of Planets
|Merchant Service
|Destroyed (2262)
The SS Beagle was a Federation class 4 stardrive survey vessel that was in service with the Merchant Service in the mid-23rd century. The Beagle had a crew of forty-seven and was commanded by R.M. Merik; his flight officer was William B. Harrison.
In 2262, the Beagle was badly damaged by a meteor in the 892 system. Captain Merik and a landing party beamed down to the star's fourth planet to obtain iridium ore for repairs.
While on the planet, they were met by the local inhabitants, led by Proconsul Claudius Marcus. The Proconsul believed it would be unfair, even ruinous, to his highly conservative society if word of its existence should be carried elsewhere. Merik, convinced that this fine world should not be contaminated, had the remainder of his crew beam down. Some of the crew took to their new home and became citizens, but the others, who refused to adopt the ways of this society, were thrown in prison. Regarded as captured barbarians, they were forced to fight as gladiators.
Abandoned, the wreck of the Beagle drifted for six years before it was found, approximately 1/16th of a parsec away from 892. Its debris field included portions of its antimatter nacelles and the personal effects - but not the bodies - of the crew.
The USS Enterprise came to 892-IV to discover their fate. Merik for one had done very well for himself, having secured a high place in imperial politics. As for his crew, Merik told the Starfleet landing party that "those who were able to adapt are still alive". Kirk and Spock, however, witnessing the death of Harrison on Roman television, had heard him sports-commentated as "the last of the barbarians". Were there other Earthmen, unknown to the gladiatorial audience? Or was Merik speaking ironically, considering himself to be the only one "able to adapt"? Kirk did not press him.
Merik would have been removed from the planet to face charges of violating the Prime Directive had he not died saving the Enterprise landing party from Marcus and his machine-gun-toting police. (TOS: "Bread and Circuses")

Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have measured accurate distances to several faint, red galaxies seen in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, confirming that three fourths are among the most distant galaxies yet studied. This is a milestone because the Hubble data provide spectra of objects 10 times fainter than have been studied with spectrometers on ground-based telescopes. This allows researchers to probe the common galaxies in the early universe, which are believed to be responsible for most of the energy output at that time, and perhaps also for ionizing and heating the tenuous gas in between galaxies. Surprisingly, the distant galaxies are similar in many ways to their considerably closer descendants.
Sangeeta Malhotra, Norbert Pirzkal, Chun Xu, and James Rhoads, of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md., are reporting these results June 2 at the American Astronomical Society's annual meeting in Denver, on behalf of the GRAPES (Grism ACS Program for Extragalactic Science) Team.
Spectroscopy is the gold standard for measuring galaxy distances. A spectrum splits up the light from galaxies into finer colors. By detecting the distinct signature of hydrogen in these galaxies, Malhotra and her colleagues are able to confirm that 16 among 22 are really at the distances their colors suggest. The confirmation is an important step because distant galaxies are not the only kind of faint red object in images like the Ultra Deep Field: Indeed, three objects turn out to be much closer galaxies reddened by dust, and three more are cool stars in the Milky Way. "Combining spectra with the UDF images is like adding fingerprints to mug shots," says Pirzkal. "It really boosts your confidence that you have the right identification."
The team also finds that most of the galaxies, which existed when the universe was only about one billion years old, have populations of stars similar to the much closer galaxies that could be up to three billion years old. Some researchers have predicted that the earliest galaxies should be much bluer due to an abundance of extremely hot stars. But Malhotra reports this doesn't seem to be the case in this sample. Many of the galaxies also appear to be interacting, which suggests that we are witnessing their early growth phase.
The observations were made with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys.
This is a montage of some of the earliest galaxies found in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. Their distances (expressed in red shift value) have been measured by the spectrograph on the Advanced Camera for Surveys. They show a variety of structure, some indicating galaxy mergers, which is one of the mechanisms for galaxies to grow.

The lean times continue in Sullivan County as the legislature voted on March 21 to cut the amount of money it gives to the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Sullivan County (CCE) by 20% or roughly $83,000. Before the vote, members of the CCE board addressed county legislators in an attempt to persuade them not to approve the cut.
As part of his remarks, board member Glenn Pontier pointed to the organization's 100-year history. He said, "When Cornell started out, farms were centers of poverty. So Cornell went to them and said, 'here are some scientifically based ways to farm, you rotate crops, here's the kinds of seeds you need.' And then they took home economics to the women and said 'here's how you budget.' And they started a program for kids and that was 4-H. And today young, new farmers are starting out and Cornell is ready to work with them."
Famer and board member Earl Myers said the surrounding counties funded their extensions at last year's levels. He added that Sullivan County was the only county in the region that is gaining farms, mostly in the niche and organic markets, and young farmers starting out needed help from CCE.
The new executive director of CCE, Greg Sandor, said, "I've heard from a few people, 'this cut will make you lean and mean. This will be good for Cornell, it will be a haircut.' It's not a haircut; it's really taking us out at the knees." He said if the cut went through, the entire staff would be switched from a five-day to a four-day week.
But given the financial condition of county finances, the board voted to move ahead with the cut as it did with most of the contracting agencies in the county. (See the contracts chart.)
Support for single-payer health plan
At the same meeting, the legislators were asked to show their support for a single-payer health care plan for New York. On March 7, assemblyman Richard Gottfried introduced legislation that would create a single-payer program, which is typically described as "Medicare for all." In such a system, the role of health insurance companies is eliminated and the state pays for all health coverage through an insurance pool funded by taxpayers.
Priscilla Basset, co-chair of the Sullivan County Senior Legislative Action Committee, told lawmakers that such a system could be created under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, which became law in March 2010, because the act allows states to adopt their own healthcare systems if they are at least as comprehensive as the federal plan.
Also speaking in support of the single-payer plan was Dr. Herman Goldfarb, who said he had retired from his medical practice years earlier because he was disillusioned by the system of care in the state which is, in large part, controlled by health maintenance organizations. He said a representative from one of the organizations once explained their plan to him and quoted the representative as saying, "When you order a blood test for someone, we have a slush fund to pay for that, and we have you down for a certain amount, and if you order fewer blood tests than we've planned for, you'll get a piece of the action." He said what the representative said was "obnoxious." He added, "Health is not a business; people who get sick are not customers."
Seven of the nine legislators voted in favor of a resolution supporting the single-payer plan, although analysts say it has very little chance of passing.
Cooperative extension puts out a call for donations
In response to the cut in funding from Sullivan County, Cornell Cooperative Extension issued a press release, which read in part: "We need immediate help from families, farmers, homemakers, and everyone touched by Cooperative Extension if we want to keep providing services at the same level," said CCE Board President Joan Howard. "We're talking about our core, traditional areas of 4-H, agriculture, and family and consumer science. We know times are tough for everyone, but please consider making a special donation at this time."
A weekly furlough of employees will begin mid-April, announced CCE Executive Director Greg Sandor, as a result of the over $83,000 reduction to the county's contract for programs approved last week.
"I am not prepared to cut any one program right now. Instead, I am planning on reducing staff hours across the board, including my position, and then we will spend the next month looking closely at each program and will begin cutting programs after this 30-day period," said Sandor. "More importantly, by only cutting staff one day per week, they will be able to keep their current positions and retain the excellent benefit package that Cornell University provides to all our local county CCE employees."
This furlough policy will require staff to take one day a week without pay, and affects all employees. All CCE programs and activities at the Gerald J. Skoda Extension Education Center in Liberty will be suspended one day each week beginning in mid-April, until further notice.
"If 1,000 people donate $100 each, it will keep staff on full-time and our doors open five days a week for the rest of the year, giving us time to seek additional resources," said Sandor.

Perhaps Marquette sophomore Haley Loprieno someday will have a future as a track and field coach. She certainly can recruit.
Loprieno, a 2011 Huntley graduate, urged Red Raiders senior Omo Tseumah to check out the Milwaukee school. Once she did, Tseumah loved it. She gave head coach Bert Rogers her commitment in December and signed with the Golden Eagles on Wednesday, the first day of the signing period for football, soccer, cross country and track and field.
"Haley really helped me. She convinced me to look into it," said Tseumah, the Class 3A state high jump runner-up. "It's a great opportunity. All the hard work I've done is paying off."
Tseumah cleared 5-foot-8 last season, but back spasms late in the season hindered her jumping at the IHSA Girls Track and Field State Meet. She made 5-6 and took second to Lyons Township's Emma Hauger (5-7).
Tseumah, who stands 6-0, attended some jumping camps over the summer. She plans on heading to Minnesota for a camp with Kangaroo Track Club coach Hugo Munoz in March, just before the high school season starts.
"I feel really good," Tseumah said. "I've been lifting. I feel really powerful. I have some big goals for myself this season."
Still teammates: Crystal Lake South's Dennis Gardeck was an undersized linebacker as a junior and Zevin Clark was a part-time running back. Now, after both players had strong senior seasons, they will play at D-II West Virginia State.
Gardeck and Clark signed their letters of intent Wednesday morning. They visited the school in Institute, W.Va., two weeks ago and were recruited by South graduate Nick Benedetto, who recently joined Yellow Jackets head coach Jon Anderson's staff as co-defensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator. Frank Benedetto, Nick's father, teaches physical education at South and suggested the contact his son about playing there.
"I was pretty sure I was going to play my senior year and join the Marines," said Gardeck, who is 6-foot, 200 pounds. "Even halfway through the season I thought that. Once colleges showed some interest I thought, 'I need to go play football.' I made sure I was in the wieghtroom every day and I just grew a little this year and put on the mass I needed."
Clark (5-11, 192) became a force for the Gators and finished ninth among area rushers. He said working with former Cary-Grove and Northern Illinois University player Alex Kube at Elite 7 in Barrington made the difference.
"Alex trained me really hard," Clark said. "I failed to get through his workouts a lot of times, but when the high school season came around, I was ready to go. I was more explosive and faster."
The school, founded in 1891 as West Virginia Colored Institute, is located about 8 miles from Charleston.
"We went on a visit two weeks ago and once we were out there I knew it was the place for me," Gardeck said. "Once I decided, I think it kind of helped Zevin's decision."
Clark concurred.
"We really liked it," he said. "Dennis is a good person to go to school with."
Still teammates II: McHenry receiver Jake Braskett and safety Nate Rueckemann will remain teammates next year at D-II Quincy University.
Braskett (6-0, 185) tied for sixth in the area with 29 receptions for 430 yards last season and was a Northwest Herald All-Area honorable-mention selection. Rueckemann (6-1, 190) had three sacks, two interceptions, five pass breakups and a forced fumble on defense. He was a two-year varsity starter.
