An awful year for the Co-operative Group – which slumped to a loss and was forced to relinquish control of its banking arm – has led to a slowdown in the annual growth of the wider movement and a fall in membership, according to a report published on Monday.
However, trading performances from Midcounties, the largest independent society, and John Lewis, which while technically not a co-op falls into the scope of the definition used by the researchers, protected the sector from the Co-op Group's catastrophic year.
The research from lobby group Co-operatives UK shows that the memberships of co-ops around the UK fell last year by about 300,000 people.
Total turnover across the movement increased by 0.7% to £37bn, the slowest rise in the past five years. The number of co-ops rose 2.5% to 6,323, but membership fell to 15.1 million from 15.4 million.
The report described 2013 as a "testing year" for the sector with troubles at the Group and the bank having a "negative impact" and having "attracted unflattering media attention".
Ed Mayo, the secretary general of Co-operatives UK, said that, while it had been an awful year for the Co-op, the rest of the sector was in good health.
In the foreword to the report he said that co-ops – defined as businesses owned and run for the benefit of their members – needed to focus on customers to be successful.
"Focused on member needs, co-operatives have the responsiveness, support and momentum to make them the most resilient form of enterprise in the UK. Without that clarity, and faced with the challenge of restoring the Co-operative Bank back to health, the Co-operative Group has indeed faltered".
"However, while co-operatives are not immune to the stresses and strains faced by conventional businesses, this report is concrete evidence that the expanding co-operative sector is made up of resilient, ambitious and profitable enterprises," he added.
"However, while all that was playing out in the public eye, the untold story is that, behind the scenes, the rest of the co-op sector was putting in a more than impressive financial performance."
The Co-op Group – which is selling its farms and pharmacies to focus on its supermarkets and funeral homes – slumped to losses of £2.5bn last year after problems at its bank. The bank is now 20% owned by the group after raising £1.9bn to plug a capital shortfall.
The report by Co-operatives UK is based on turnover, which in the Co-op's case fell to £12.8bn from £13.6bn the year before. But despite that tumble, turnover across the overall sector rose.
"What happens to one co-operative can affect others, and there may yet be further fallout in brand terms from a year of turbulence at the Co-operative Group. However, overall, the mutual model still carries higher trust and affection than business at large, so being a co-op will still give a business a most welcome competitive edge," Mayo said.
The report also picked out some examples of co-ops working with large corporations, including the Green Pea Company, a co-operative of 230 farmers that supplies all of Birds Eye's peas, and the English Mustard Growers – which supplies all the mustard seeds in Colman's mustard.

Ryanair said its full-year profit would come in between 380 million (£330.3 million) and 400 million, up from the previous 350 million to 375 million, as chief executive Michael O'Leary said "all the trends were going in the right direction".
Later he said he expected Ryanair's fares - and air fares generally - to increase "over the next couple of years". He added that charges for those who want to take checked-in bags on Ryanair flights would also go up: "Charges will carry on going up until everyone gets the message that hold luggage is verboten."
Ryanair's passenger numbers grew 10% to 40.1 million in the half-year to November, and average fares rose 12%, as the airline charged more for new, longer routes.
These also made it easier for Ryanair to sell extras such as meals and scratchcards, as revenues rose nearly a quarter to 2.18 billion. For the six months to November, profits grew 17% to 451.9 million.
It is the latest sign of the aviation industry's recovery, after British Airways last week returned to profit for the first time in two years and easyJet last month upgraded its profit forecast.
However, some airlines have warned the Government's new air passenger duty could reverse that trend, but O'Leary predicted that it "wouldn't last long".
"The Government thought if we impose a tax we'll make a lot of money'. But in fact it'll lose far more from the lost tourism spend," he said.
"The Spanish, Dutch and Italians have already scrapped passenger taxes. It's only a matter of time before the British and Irish follow that strategy."

6 surprising ways to use pink
Pink is a hot colour this season – use these pink room ideas for a quick style update.
In an all-white room a flash of pink will stand out beautifully – as with this floral Roman blind (above). Use a large-scale print to give the scheme a modern edge and bring the look together by adding cushions and fresh flowers in similar shades.
Create a focal point with a super-size piece of wall art placed above a sideboard or console table. This print works well with its unusual combination of shell pink and gold in an eye-catching geometric design. For a similar print try Holly's House, or search out a graphic wallpaper or even a stunning wrapping paper to frame.
Try this paint effect to bring an extra interest to a plain wall. Any shade of pink looks great with grey and this coral and rose are no exception. Measure up for your bands of colour and mask off with decorator's tape. When the painted bands are dry remove the tape and gently brush over the edges with a little paint to soften the lines.
Mix and match chairs in soft pastels for a relaxed dining area with contemporary charm – great in a sunny conservatory, extension or garden room. Team with pale wood, crisp white paintwork and blush table linen.
Refresh a monochrome scheme with a dusky pink feature wall. It's a simple trick that gives the room extra character and prevents it feeling too clinical. Pale grey towels bring a softness to the look.
Take a neutral sofa in a bright new direction with a set of fuchsia cushions. Contrast is the key to success – vibrant pink stands out against a mid-tone grey but on a darker fabric choose a more subtle shade like coral.

if i dont wear a bra i get a rash. there really arent any options for me as far as containing them. they fall out of bras, EVEN sprotsbras. i have to wear my bra so tight that i get chest pain, or the skin falls out of the bottom. since i lost more weight and the skin has worsened, i have to tuck the skin in, which has been making my breasts start to ooze and ducts swell, sometimes i think theyre infected cause i get weak and get the chills when they hurt. ive even been tested for prolactinoma.
Am I Eligible for Breast Reconstruction? (photo)
Doctor Answers 12
Breast reconstruction?
I advise you to consult a board certified plastic surgeon concerning a dermal mastopexy, a breast lift which may be done by various techniques. This may conserve breast tissue to maintain volume, or size, at the same time reducing the excess skin cover to keep from spilling out.
Breast reconstruction is for mastectomy patients
Breast reconstruction is for people who have undergone breast resection for cancer or prevention. You do not qualify for breast reconstruction. However, you may benefit from breast reduction if they are too large. Your breasts appear too droopy and you need a breast lift, which is not covered by insurance.
Best Wishes,
Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Breast surgery
You are an ideal candidate for a mastopexy and probably do not even need implants. A mastopexy takes about two hours and there is not much pain post operatively. However, it would not be considered a reconstructive procedure if you were hoping to have insurance pay for it. They will consider it a cosmetic surgery. Nonetheless you are a great candidate and should look into it further. Good luck!

Weight loss and breast lift
If you need a breast lift this is not a covered procedure. You will have to pay for a lift yourself. Good luck.
Body contouring breast surgery after significant weight loss
Your posted photos show a lot of extra breast skin with the breast tissue itself at the bottom of this large envelope of skin. As you mentioned in a bra all the extra skin is bunched up or folded over to fit into your bra. All of the breast skin looks intact. If you have recurrent rashes or skin breakdown due to this documented in your medical records the corrective surgery would be covered by health insurance. Unfortunately most patients do not get these rashes or areas of skin breakdown so the procedures are not covered. The best option of course is removal of the extra skin (a breast lift). Since your right breast is larger than the left you will need some breast tissue removed at the time of surgery. Because the skin has lost its elasticity removal of breast tissue at the time of the lift is recommended to lower the risk of recurrent drooping.
My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.
Triple cleavage
With large weight losses, it is common to get very droopy breasts with excess skin leading to multiple cleavage folds when a bra is worn.
The solution is a breast lift or reduction mammoplasty, depending upon the desired final volume.
Please note that in both operations skin is removed and the nipple is transposed to a higher position.
Breast reconstruction usually follows mastectomy for cancer.
Eligible for Breast Reduc? #breastimplants
You do not fall into the category of breast reconstruction. We commonly talk about breast reconstruction for women who have had some large portions of breast tissue removed or a mastectomy for cancer. You would be a great candidate for either a reduction if you want to be smaller or a breast lift if you want more rejuvenated breasts. If you desire more upper pole volume it might be recommended to you by a board certified plastic surgeon to place a breast implant and have a lift. Of course that would make you slightly larger but the breasts would be carried much higher on the chest wall. You should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon and I think you will find that you have ample options to help you out. Most of the procedures I have mentioned would not be covered by insurance with the exception of breast reduction which may or may not be covered.
Fix my breasts? (photos)
In agreement with other responders, breast reduction-lift would offer you immense relief. You would feel and look better. Breast reconstruction is that category of procedures indicated after partial or complete loss of one or both breasts, usually to ablative surgery for breast cancer.
Breast Reconstruction
By looking at your pictures, it seems you would be a great candidate for Breast Lift surgery, which is not covered by insurance. Insurance with cover Breast Reduction with very strict criteria. I would schedule an appointment with a local Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for a consultation. The information would need to be submitted to your insurance to determine if coverage applies to your case.
Eligibility for breast reconstruction
It sounds like you have symptoms that a breast lift will help relieve. However, whether this is considered a "covered procedure" by your insurance company is a decision that they will make. Some insurance companies do not cover any type of breast reduction surgery...others may be compelled by a persuasive letter from your doctor and a plea from you(the policy holder).

EU Organ Donation Directive. The Human Tissue Authority (the Authority) has been selected as the body that will set standards
for the quality and safety of transplant organs across the UK under the EU Organ Donation Directive.
The Authority has been named as the Competent Authority for England and Wales for the EU Organ Donation Directive (EUODD) and we will take the lead on developing the first formal regulatory framework for the donation and transplant of organs and its implementation into legislation by August 2012. The Scottish Government and Northern Ireland Assembly have also asked us to be their Competent Authority for the EUODD and we have accepted these roles.
The EUODD is a European requirement that aims to bring all EU countries up to the same high quality and safety standards. With better organs available in the EU, more UK citizens may benefit from the availability of suitable organs transferred from across Europe.
Public Health Minister Anne Milton said: "I am pleased the HTA has agreed to carry out this important role. Organ transplantation in this country has an excellent safety record and can transform a patient's life. The HTA are extremely well placed to build on the successful system we have already to make sure the standards for quality and safety are upheld."

The Greens have committed to a Senate inquiry into Australia's "cruel" treatment of refugees and clean air legislation as part of their election platform.
The Greens leader, Christine Milne, will also use her policy launch to warn voters against giving the opposition leader, Tony Abbott, total control of both houses of Parliament, in a clear indication the Greens believe the Coalition is likely to win the 7 September election.
Treatment of asylum seekers is the centrepiece of the strategy, following the announcement of the Papua New Guinea policy which stops any "boat people" from ever settling in Australia.
"Refugees have long been our nation's chief political football, but this election the race to the bottom has hit new lows," Milne said.
"I haven't seen such an outpouring of shock, disgust and anger towards the atrocious, cruel policies of Labor and the Coalition since the Tampa crisis.
"People expected this kind of behaviour from John Howard's protege Tony Abbott, but Labor has joined him in tit-for-tat one upmanship. Across the country our candidates have had countless people tell them this time they can't vote for either of the old parties."
As part of their election platform, the Greens are calling for an inquiry conducted through the Senate to "rigorously scrutinise the legal financial and moral implications of the cruelty done in the name of Australia to refugees".
The inquiry, which would require the support of a major party, would focus on the long-term health effects on asylum seekers held in detention. It would also investigate whether Labor and the Coalition's policies contravened international obligations such as the UN convention on refugees and the international migration convention.
"Refugees from all over the world have made our nation richer – wave after wave from Europe after World War II, Vietnam, Somalia, Sudan we have welcomed and in turn they have given back to us many times over," Milne said.
"Kevin Rudd and Tony Abbott are aiding and abetting each other in ways to treat innocent, vulnerable people in the most unimaginably cruel way – cruelty in pursuit of power shames us all, drags down our international standing as we break international law. It demeans us as a people but I know Australians are better than this."
The launch comes at a time when Greens have been battling on many fronts over preference deals. Having lost Liberal preferences after a "captain's call" by Abbott, they also suffered at the hands of the WikiLeaks party. WikiLeaks said it had been an "administrative error", though the high-profile Victorian candidate Leslie Cannold quit over the move.
The Greens were also embroiled in a fight with Labor over its preference deals. The party has been attacked by the Victorian Labor party for "ratting" on the deal in how-to-vote cards. This time, the Greens claimed an "administrative error".
At the launch on Saturday the Greens will also introduce legislation for a clean air act to develop national standards and regulations for air quality, focusing on coalmines and coal-fired power stations.
The legislation, which would need to garner support of at least one major party, would drive the installation of an air quality monitoring network.
All coal trains passing through population centres would need to be covered and the legislation would impose regulations on emissions for new sales of non-road petrol engines, such as lawn mowers and boats.
Milne made a clear reference to breakdowns in relations with the major parties, including Abbott's decision to remove Liberal preferences from the Greens and Labor's split with the Greens last year, breaking the agreement forged at the beginning of the hung parliament in 2010.
"There's no doubt we are the underdog, the David to their Goliath," Milne said.
"The Greens rely on volunteers and people power – not deep pockets. We are outmatched a hundred times to one by the spending power of the old parties.
"But still, in this campaign – and in the year leading up to it – both old parties have spent almost as much time attacking us as they have attacking each other."

On the input side, every time I run across something interesting on the web, it takes a single click to stash it. However, on the output side, this ease of capture becomes a disadvantage. Now a huge pile of dishevelled data awaits proper classification. Sigh!

- On top of the provided data fields, an additional user-defined sort key would help.

This is wonderful software. Now I can easily cite text from any source on the internet easily and effortlessly. It has useful features for creating and maintaining several collections. It also works in any Internet Explorer based program, too, so that I can use it in other programs that use the IE, and not just the browser. I use it all of the time, and it is so easy to edit the citations. You don't have to copy the URL for the page--Cociter does that for you. Just enter in your comments, and voila, your citation is complete! You can also edit the comments and re-organize both the collections and the citations within the program. I love this simple freeware.

This program is great for saving plain text, but I wish the HTML formatting would be preserved, especially the links in the text because I use this program mainly to grab articles which are harder to read withour original formatting. Organizing capabilities are awesome - it is very easy to choose the folder to save the text into, to move folders, to move saved texts... Anyway, if you look for a free, fast and stable plain text grabber, look no further!
"Useful little tool. Doesn't grab images though."

This tool is not complicated but can be extremely useful if you are searching for information on the net. It would be much better to be able to save images and other HTML elements into the collection though. For text grabbing, it's sufficiently useful.

Winnipeg Jets reveal logos
|07.22.11 at 5:31 pm ET
Good new, Bruins fans. When Blake Wheeler and Mark Stuart roll into town on Nov. 26, they'll actually be wearing jerseys. After going logo-less since the Thrashers' move to Winnipeg, the Jets on Friday revealed their new logos.
The logo isn't exactly reminiscent of the olden days, but it certainly gets this scribe's approval. Images courtesy of NHL.com.

We had a very enjoyable time taking a break at a corner cafe and watching all the interesting characters scurry by. Bicycles were everywhere and it was really cool how every major road had nice wide bike lanes on each side. We've included many pictures and a couple short videos. This week was also high school graduation and the tradition is that the students ride around celebrating in large vehicles for days, honking, whistling and screaming.
We loved Nyhavn (pronounced Nuhavn), a quaint fishing canal with lots of boats, restaurants, and sidewalk cafes
After breakfast and checking out of our room this morning, we hiked across the river to a commune section of town called Christiana, where many live "off the grid" in their own handmade homes.
Near Christiana we saw the Church of our Saviour which has a really cool spiral steeple with 400 steps to the top where a statue of Jesus represents the victory of Christianity over Europe many centuries ago.
We stopped at a nice little bakery for some coffee and tea then headed back to Nyhavn where we boarded a harbor tour boat. It was very relaxing but the sun was starting to beat down on us and we were happy to get back to some shade.
Then, a little more shopping at Magasin du Nord, a very nice, very large department store and on to the train station and the airport for our trip back to Cambridge.
We had a lovely time in Copenhagen and are looking forward to coming back some day. Although prices are a little on the high side, we would recommend it to anyone.
Another Switzer mishap occurred on the trip to the airport when Shelby and I jumped on the train but the doors closed before Maggie could join us and so she had to catch the next train. Fortunately, the train to the airport ran every eight minutes so she soon found us. Whew...
Back at Cambridge, we ate at Shelby's favorite vegetarian restaurant, The Rainbow, followed by scrumptious desserts at La Margherita.
We will all be going together to the airport tomorrow morning since our flights are only an hour apart; Shelby to Kuala Lumpur and us back to Blythewood.
What a wonderful trip! See you all soon!

Vibrancy is a term that means many things in many settings. To color, vibrancy is a lively, bright, rich, energetic hue. The use of vibrant colors in a project also extend that feeling. Keep the tone of your project in context with the colors you choose.
Vibrant colors on a monitor are even more vivid as colors on a monitor are mixed with light, lending even more vibrancy than usual.
Vibrant colors in the physical world are often harder to mix and use and often should be used in pure states. This means that we do not overmix them, thereby, dulling them down.2013 Tracy Berry

~*Disclaimer: I… don't own Inuyasha. There. Are you happy now? *sob*
"…" - speech
'…' - thoughts
~*~*~ - change in scenery or timeFinal Decision
It was over.
Naraku had been defeated.
The Shikon no Tama was complete.
Kohaku had been laid to rest.
The kazaana in Miroku's hand was still there, but it would not be passed down to his heirs, nor would it swallow him.
It was really over.
But that meant there was no longer a reason for Kagome to stay. There was no longer a reason for the well to continue allowing her to pass through time. If she jumped into the future, she would have to stay there.
Saying goodbye was the hardest thing she ever had to do- even more difficult than her math tests in school. The little shard-hunting group had become her second family over the past three years. She had to go home, right? She belonged in the future- she was born there! But a suspicion told her that her home was here, in Sengoku Jidai.
What was that jii-chan had told her? Oh yes. Home was not a place, nor a dwelling. Home was the people. Home was where the heart was.
And right now, her heart was definitely here.
But could she leave her family?
Miroku had been understanding. He had given her a grope-free hug, and wishes for her well being.
Sango had cried once she discovered her best friend had to go home forever, but also knew the value of family, after all, she had lost hers.
Even Kirara had given her a friendly purr.
Shippou had been inconsolable. He had cried in her arms while sobbing about not wanting her to leave. That it was probably Inuyasha's fault. It was like losing his parents all over again.
And Inuyasha?
He didn't know yet. He hadn't even been seen since dawn. It was now sunset. And Kagome was headed to the Goshinboku Tree to tell him goodbye. Although she had a suspicion he knew…
She walked through the now familiar forest named after the hanyou who had slept there for fifty years. Soon, there was a small clearing, and the god tree stood before her. Kagome walked up to it and put a hand on the wide trunk. So long ago had she freed him from here. Her hand traced an arrowhead shaped scar in the tree. This was where her adventures had begun. And now, this was where she would say goodbye.
She peered tentatively into the gently swaying branches above.
"Inuyasha?" Her voice was soft.
There was no reply except for the sigh of the winds through leaves above her.
She tried again, slightly louder. "Inuyasha?"
There was a louder rustle, and a reddish silver figure fell on to the ground in front of her. Inuyasha landed gracefully with a soft plop. He stared at the grass-covered ground.
"…Nani?" His voice was unusually quiet.
Kagome looked away, swallowing past the lump that had already grown in her throat at the sight of the hanyou.
"I-I…" She took in a deep breath. "I have to go home now…"
"When will you be coming back?"
His voice grew louder. "When will you be coming back?"
Tears threatened to over spill her eyes. "Never."
His head snapped up. And his voice caught. "N-never?" He disguised his sadness with anger. "Wh-what do you mean never, wench!?"
Kagome smiled a sad smile. She had always been able to tell what he was truly feeling.
"I mean I'm never coming back, Inuyasha."
He glared at her. "But the Shikon no Ta-" He was cut off.
"Here." She raised a shaking hand and grabbed one of his own clawed ones. Inuyasha felt a smooth, round object being pressed into his palm as her hands closed his. She looked into his eyes. "The Shikon no Tama is yours now. After all, I promised it to you."
Inuyasha shook his head. "But I don't need this. I don't need to become full youkai any more. I don't WANT that thing."
Kagome lowered her eyes to the ground below her again. Her voice was soft, but he could still hear her with his sensitive hearing. His ears twitched. "Then you can use it for something else. Maybe you could even bring-" She broke off. "M-maybe you could even bring K-kikyou back…" She looked up at him with a forced smile, although her eyes brimmed with tears. "You could live together, Inuyasha, imagine it. Just like you had promised each other before Naraku made you betray each other."
"…" He was speechless with shock. "Kagome…"
She averted her eyes and they fell upon the indigo coloured rosary Kaede had thrown on him three years ago. "And that thing… y-you don't need it any more. I'll take the rosary off as well…"
Her quaking hands rose to remove it when callused ones stopped her. She looked up into his face.
"No. Don't remove it. I… I want to remember you." His eyes were shadowed by his silver bangs.
So that was it.
He had accepted her decision. But Kagome wasn't supposed to be surprised; she had to go home, right? And nothing he said could have stopped her.
But why then, did she step back from him with tears rolling down her cheeks?
Why then, did she feel a breaking feeling inside of her as she slowly backed away from the only boy she had ever loved?
Did she hope he would hear her whispered words?
Did she hope that he would stop her and plead her to stay even as she sped towards the bone eaters well?
Did she hope he would suddenly appear in front of her and tell her of his undying feelings for her?
And did she hope he would be there to block the well even as she stood facing the hole that had brought her here…?
Inuyasha stood there with clenched hands. There were slight cuts on his hands from where his claws had pierced the skin. But he did nothing to stop the blood from falling from his hands to the ground below. The physical pain was much easier to deal with than the emotional suffering. Besides, they would be healed before long.
His entire frame shook slightly as a few glistening tears dropped from his face to wet the ground.
The wind blew softly past him, carrying with it her last whispered words… "I love you…"
His head snapped up, shock written on his face. She… loved him? His heart swelled before reality sunk in, and he realised that she was leaving. Eyes widening, Inuyasha raced off towards the bone eaters well, sprinting faster than he had ever before.
Kagome stared into the depths of the well. There hadn't been any recent youkai attacks on the village, so the dirt bottom was smooth. She had been standing there for a few minutes. Hoping somebody would come up with a reason for her to stay. But nobody had come.
He hadn't come.
She had been half prepared to stay. She would readily give up all the modern conveniences of her era just to be with her friends in this one.
All she had needed was a sign that they wanted that too.
All she had needed was a sign that Inuyasha wanted her to stay.
She climbed up onto the smooth wooden blocks that bordered the hole, and swung her legs over the edge. Her salty tears continued to flow down her cheeks.
So this would be her final time in the past. She would continue her life in her world, like nothing had happened. She would go to school and deal with the whispers regarding her absences. She would go to Wacdonalds and joke with her friends. She would laugh and smile even if she had no reason to. She would be a normal girl again. Even if she didn't want it anymore.
She jumped.
But didn't fall.
A clawed hand prevented that.
A clawed hand gripping her upper arm almost painfully.
Inuyasha pulled her up and held Kagome tightly against him, inhaling her addictive scent of the wild flowers of her shampoo and something that was strictly Kagome.
"Don't go."
Kagome was surprised. "I- inuyasha?"
"Don't go. St-stay with me- with us! Damnit, woman, can't you see we need you!?" His voice softened. "Can't you see I need you?"
Kagome was immensely relieved, but there was still that ever present shadow of doubt on the edge of her mind. "But Kikyou…"
He tightened his hold. "Kikyou's dead."
She rolled her eyes. "Well, yes she's technically dead, but she's still walking around…"
"No. She's dead. Gone. She's moved on."
Kagome pulled back slightly to look into his amber eyes- were those tear tracks on his face? She arched an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?"
"This morning. She came, and tried to take me down to hell. But I couldn't leave. Maybe in the past, I would've, but not now. I couldn't. I- I had no reason to. I had defeated Naraku for her. The old Kikyou would have accepted that. That- that… clay pot didn't. SHE was the copy, not you. So…" He broke off.
Kagome lay her head against his chest. "…So?"
He smiled slightly at her. "So I laid her to rest. Kikyou has moved on. And I'm not going to let you leave too. You, are going to stay here. With Me. Forever"
Kagome was shocked to say the least.
"Did you just…" She got over it, and hid a smile. She used a haughty voice. "And who says you're one to control me? Maybe I won't go through the well, but I'll bet Kouga-kun will be really happy once I tell him I'll be his ma…"
Kagome didn't get a chance to finish. She was cut off by a pair of lips covering her own.
'My first kiss-!'
They broke apart.
He smirked at her.
"That kiss was pretty mutual. I'd say you won't be showing up around that wolf shit for a while." He encircled her in an embrace. "Let the wolf shit come. You're *MY* woman now."
A slightly dark expression over came Kagome's face.
"Inuyasha…" She took a few steps away from him. "Sit." He did. " I'm nobody's woman. I didn't wait all this time for you just to be called 'your woman.' I'll be in the village with Sango-chan if you need me."
Inuyasha was left in a pile of dust as Kagome decided to go back and tell her friends the news. Even as she walked towards the village, Kagome was smiling. Her home was in the past now, with her friends and Inuyasha.
He had given her that little push.
Her family in the future would understand.
After all, home was where the heart was.
And her heart would always remain in the past.
With Inuyasha.
[So, there's a possible ending for Inuyasha… sorta…]

Gisele in Cartoon Series as Environmental Superhero
Gisele Bündchen is all set to reach out to her fans with the new cartoon series "Gisele & the Green Team". The series debuted on Tuesday on AOL Kids. It has a group of young women who are featured as environmental superheroes. Thus the program has an environmental focus to it. This web-based animated series intends to teach younger viewers how they can help save the earth.
The model who also happens to be the United Nations goodwill ambassador says that this is an educational show aimed at children, and through them she could get the message to the parents also.
Bündchen is a regular contributor to environmental causes and also owns an environmental cause sponsored by her, called Agua Limpa, in the south of Brazil, which is her native place.
Moreover, she is also fond of watching cartoon films, thus Gisele & the Green Team makes the perfect combination.
The environment enthusiast is all excited about the cartoon version of herself in the series. She says that it is fun to have a cartoon version of one's self. But character in the series does not look exactly like her. It rather resembles her.
Along with the 26-episode series, AOL is also introducing a new site within AOL Kids that Bündchen helped design and that will reinforce the green-friendly and girl-power messages of the show. Watch the video here.

Battle-Tested events are customized to the needs of your individual team. We help equip your team with the mental toughness and character they will need to be better prepared to win battles they will face on and off the field.
Our events help draw teammates closer together and helps foster respect for the strengths that each person brings to the team. There's something about working hard with each other that creates a lasting bond.
We believe that character drives performance. The greater the character of your team members, the better they will perform. We challenge their character to help them consider where they may need to improve.
Our team building events are portable so we can come to your location reducing the risks and costs associated with offsite transportation. We can also meet you at a destination of your choice.
Battle-Tested was a great experience not only for my athletes but for the coaching staff as well. We used this program to help our athletes build confidence, improve their character, and promote overall teamwork. Each challenge allowed the girls to work together towards a common goal while maintaining a positive attitude. This was a great way to start our season and we will continue to use this as momentum when the season gets tough. Thank you Battle-Tested for challenging the girls and building their confidence. We loved every moment. Truly an amazing day!
Renee Rybak, Head Softball Coach, Bremen High School
Battle-Tested is best team event we have done as a program. It was a perfect pairing for our Big Brother-Little Brother mentorship program we have in place. The boys had a great time and the values and morals Blake taught the boys was perfectly in line with what we teach.
Sean McCaffrey, Head Boys Lacrosse Coach, St. Charles North High School
As a coach, you are consistently preaching the messages of character, leadership, and a team first attitude. Battle-Tested brings those messages to life. The competitions that we did enabled our team to see how they needed each other to be successful, and the stories that were told enforced the core values that are important to us as a team. Our team grew a tremendous amount from Battle-Tested and learned life lessons that will carry over to the field and beyond.
Pete Lotus, Head Baseball Coach, St. Laurence High School
Over the three hours, I learned a lot about the individuals in the gym and I truly believe they learned about themselves, their perceived limits, and how much potential each of them hold. For the next week, the Battle-Tested event was the only thing my program, coaches included, could talk about. Even almost 2 months after the event, players still refer back to the camaraderie they experienced that day and the lessons they learned to get through losses or tough stretches in practices or games. I would highly recommend this event to any coach, as it is something players will remember fondly and be able to refer back to throughout their lives.
Paul Kowalyszyn, Head Boys Basketball Coach, Streamwood High School
For 13 years we have been doing team-bonding activities and I can honestly say I thought Battle-Tested was the best experience we have ever had. Not only did Blake test them physically but he taught them life lessons that will help them be successful this year and in life in general. From the physical activities to the story time, Battle-Tested was a GREAT experience for our team and one that I would highly recommend everyone give a try. Looking forward to doing it again next year.

iXsystems has hosted the Quality Assurance Tinderbox used within the FreeBSD ports infrastructure for several months. The Quality Assurance Tinderbox (QAT) is an automated QA system used to identify problems in FreeBSD ports and packages, by building ports and generating the corresponding binary packages, then generating automated failure notifications. Recently, iXsystems decided to help the FreeBSD community improve upon QAT's existing capabilities by updating the existing QAT server hardware.
The previous QAT server ran only FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE AMD64, which limited its ability to detect issues that port builds may have with other FreeBSD versions and architectures. In order to increase the functionality of QAT, iXsystems upgraded the hardware to increase speed and to extend its quality checks to other versions of the FreeBSD operating system. The new QAT server is housed in a 1U form factor with dual quad-core Intel® Xeon® 5400 Series processors. This machine features 8 total processing cores, 16GB of memory, and two 1TB SATA hard drives. QAT is being heavily refactored to utilize these new hardware resources as efficiently as possible.

- How keep routines as the context for child skills
- How to plan for the time between visits, when intervention actually occurs
- Using family consultation (instead of expert consultation)
- Responding to families' priorities of the day
- Working with details of child functioning (EISR; "dig deeper")
- Joint problem solving/solution finding rather than providing all the answers
- Using functional, family-chosen child level outcomes as the home-visiting agenda;
- Helping families with basic parenting skills
- Using informal and community supports to meet needs
- Addressing family-level needs also with family consultation
- Providing or ensure emotional support.

Happy days at Turf Moor, where the Ginger Mourinho is working miracles and Michael Duff is football's eighth wonder of the world.
Long-serving Duff has played at the top eight levels of England's professional ladder, from Carterton Town in the Hellenic League to the Premier League with Burnley.
He took the scenic route, through the Southern League and Conference pyramid with Cheltenham, to playing against Manchester United and Liverpool at the top table, and the Northern Ireland defender is believed to be the only man to achieve the feat in the prescribed batting order.
Now, Duff, 36, is the last man standing from the Clarets' one-season stopover in the Premier League under Owen Coyle and, after working his way up from the cellar, he has unfinished business in the penthouse. "I tore my ligaments in the last minute of our last pre-season friendly in 2009," said Duff, whose Twitter profile candidly boasts that his day job is to "head a ball for a living".
"I had to wait until around Christmas to make my Premier League debut and, after a decent start, the disparity between our budget and turnover and the financial muscle of other teams in that division, caught up with us.
"A lot has changed since then, a lot of water has gone under the bridge and I'm just about the only one left at the club from that era – an old man in a young squad who are hungry to upset the odds again."
It was harsh on Duff that Burnley managed only one point in the 12 Premier League games he played during the tailspin which followed Coyle's defection to Bolton four years ago.
Although he is out of contract this summer, he would dearly love another crack at the big time, and the chance to collect three points in the top flight, to complete his set of wins in eight tiers of English football.
But, at £30,000 when they signed him from Cheltenham in 2004, Burnley have already enjoyed outrageous value for money from Duff's 323 appearances for the club.
And they can take a huge step towards a second coming among exalted company in today's battle between second and third in the Championship at Turf Moor.
Steve McClaren, who rebuilt his reputation impressively at FC Twente in Holland and on his second coming at Derby, steps into the Claret juggernaut's path, knowing the Rams can move into the automatic promotion places for the first time this season – if they win.
Duff is relishing the contest – not to mention next week's Dingles derby down the M65 at Blackburn– as Burnley, a remote 80-1 shot with William Hill to win the Championship last August, close in on a wonderful achievement.
Sean Dyche – the 'Ginger Mourinho' of Lancashire's cotton mills – would be the obvious choice as Manager of the Season if they stay the course.
And Duff said: "There's no getting away from the fact that Derby is a big game, for them and us, but our approach has not changed – the boss expects a minimum requirement of maximum effort.
"It would be wrong to change that approach, with 14 games to go, when it has served us well.
"I'm proud to have worked through eight levels of the pyramid in ascending order and, at 36, I'm more appreciative of where I am and the level I'm playing.
"To reach the Premier League with Burnley was amazing – to do it twice would be incredible."
