MCCAIN MAKE HISTORY: CHOOSE HUTCHISON/updates
Yes, I know she says she does not want to be vice president. Biden also said that. If offered she is not going to turn down the opportunity to make history. I know she will not be the first women running for vice president. But she will be the first QUALIFIED woman to do so. Geraldine Ferraro was the first one. But like Barack Obama, she was essentially an affirmative action choice. There can be no questioning of the first US female senator from the Texas, Kay Bailey Hutchison qualifications or her vote getting ability.
Most importantly, women justifiably feel dissed by the Obama's democratic party. Just think how Blacks would have felt had Hillary won the nomination and failed to offer the vice presidential slot to Barack. Greta Van Susteren says that her email box is filled with democratic women expressing their outrage. They are ready to bolt.
McCain should give them a reason to do so as Hutchison has a credible feminist record. She wrote two best selling books celebrating female achievement thereby demonstrating her interest in women's issues. She is pro life enough for conservatives but does not support revoking Roe. Her appearance on the ticket would reassure some women and energize many more.
I cannot imagine any valid reason for McCain not to add much needed pizazz to his candidacy by selecting this talented, worthy lady.
Please, McCain, do not play into Obama's hand by choosing a boring white man. Demonstrate, instead, that you understand that America's women have earned the right to be treated with respect by choosing a well qualified woman as your running mate. Give us an additional reason to vote for you!
Also see, Martin Sieff, Analysis: Kay Bailey Hutchison for veep?
Update:Thomas Lifson of the American Thinker just brought to my attention the fact that Kay Bailey Hutchison is not on the Republican convention speakers roster. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it means what I hope it does. He is also kind enough to link to this blog.
Update 2: Dick Morris, agrees:
Now, John McCain can take advantage of Obama's blunder by coming back with a woman nominee for president. Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison would be an excellent choice. She's been around for decades and is not going to start making mistakes now. Her nomination would be a signal to American women that McCain takes their aspirations seriously, even if Obama does not. Hutchison is not charismatic. But her circumstances would be if she were nominated. The prospect of a woman vice president would electrify women throughout the nation..

Rebuilding a Storied Seaside Resort
After superstorm Sandy ravages his New Jersey hometown, a poet passes along a lesson from ancient Rome
What is the most emotional business? Sports? Prostitution? Entertainment? Politics? I say, real estate.
The "real" in "real estate" is based on the Latin word for "thing." Other kinds of property are merely personal—we can move them around. "Real" property, too, is personal but also immovable by human agency. It is more intensely and stubbornly a thing. Immovable, but moving....

ATLANTA – Rollins announces Paul Hardy's retirement after 52 years with the company. Effective March 31, 2013, the senior technical services director is retiring at age 70. Hardy got his start in the pest management field while working in a Florida orange grove in 1961.
|Gary Rollins and Paul Hardy (right) at luncheon recognizing Hardy's 52 years with Orkin.
Throughout his 52 years with the company, Hardy has held nearly every position in the pest control field, including technician, supervisor, branch manager, sales inspector, region manager and director. With such a wide range of experience, pest control professionals industry-wide have looked to Hardy for advice for decades. He has trained or mentored thousands of professionals, not only at Orkin, but throughout the pest control industry. Today Hardy is responsible for technical issues in termite control services, pest control service, equipment, fumigation, treatment and research and development.
"I have learned a lot of values since I got my start at Orkin," said Hardy . "It took a lot of mentors, and the key to that is to be a mentor in return. It also takes a lot of hard work—nothing comes for free."
In addition to assisting branches with specific pest issues and shaping training initiatives, Hardy has authored numerous pest control articles for professional journals and is a frequent speaker at state pest control associations throughout the United States. Hardy is also very active in the industry, currently holding memberships in the Florida and Georgia Pest Control Associations, the National Pest Management Association, the Entomological Society of America and Pi Chi Omega. He sits on several committees and councils and served as chairman of the Wood Destroying Organism Committee for the Georgia Pest Control Association for 12 years before resigning to accept the title of "honorary chairman."
"I know of no finer 'Orkin Man,'" said Gary Rollins, CEO of Rollins Inc and COO of Orkin. "It has been my privilege to work with Paul for most of these 52 years."
Upon retirement, in addition to traveling and visiting old friends, Hardy plans to do some consulting work, continue to write articles and give presentations. Paul and his wife Judy have four children, seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

text: 1. Please see "Use of Non-IFRS financial measures" section in this press release.2. Based on a comparison of third quarter 2012 expenses to fourth quarter 2011 expenses. 3. The Company consolidated financial results for the third quarter 2012 include the results of Netvision Ltd., or Netvision, for the full quarter, while the consolidated financial results for the third quarter 2011 include Netvision's results for September 2011 only (due to the completion of Netvision's acquisition by the Company on August 31, 2011). Cellcom Israel Ltd. (NYSE: CEL TASE: CEL) ("Cellcom Israel", the "Company"), announced today its financial results for the third quarter of 2012. Revenues for the third quarter 2012 totaled NIS 1,448 million ( $370 million); EBITDA for the third quarter 2012 totaled NIS 430 million ( $110 million), or 29.7% of total revenues; and net income for the third quarter 2012 totaled NIS 124 million ( $32 million). Basic earnings per share for the third quarter 2012 totaled NIS 1.25 ($0.32). Commenting on the results , Nir Sztern , Chief Executive Officer , said , "We are pleased with the implementation of the Company's strategy: the merger of Netvision, operational excellence, and our strengthening as a communications group. The Company has taken aggressive efficiency measures, which led, so far, to an annual savings run rate of approximately NIS 480 million [2], while focusing on operational excellence. It is our intention to continue the efficiency measures in the fourth quarter this year, as well as in 2013. We continue to leverage and expand the comprehensive services we provide as a communications group, addressing all customer segments, and seeing great success with our "Cellcom Total" marketing plan, which was launched in July of this year, followed by "Cellcom Total for Businesses", a beneficial, comprehensive communications package for small and medium businesses. At the same time, we witness Netvision's contribution to the Company's success, presenting a third quarter EBITDA of NIS 75 million, through leveraging Cellcom-Netvision synergies, and reducing cost redundancies between the companies". Regarding market competition, Nir Sztern noted: "In the third quarter, the Company recruited approximately 5,000 net new subscribers. This is an impressive achievement in light of the intense competition. The positive net adds is a result of the "Cellcom Total" success as well as the beginning of IDF subscribers' transfer to our network, whereas the majority of the IDF subscribers will be joining in the following quarters. This quarter, the Company also presented a record growth of private landline telephony subscribers.

3. Family MattersMature
I stood outside the cave, scanning the trees for any sign of Willow and Jasper. It was almost eleven. Shade was getting nervous, his sturdy black form fidgeting next to me.
We had taken the form of wolves, finding it would be easier to last the night on the run in a powerful animal.
The cold crept in under my fur and my paws were frozen to the cold rocks, but I stayed still. I looked back at the sound of a whimper. Faline's soft brown pelt stood out against the dark russet of Brooke and Rusty. She whimpered in her sleep and shuddered against the cold night air, pushing closer to her brother's pale body for warmth. Leo sat up and looked around before moving to settle down on the other side of the shivering female.
"It's really cold for a July night..." I said softly, laying down on the cold stone.
"The caves are always cold." Shade replied as he settled down next to me, his warm body chasing away the cold.
The stars glittered far above us in the cloudless, velvet sky. I wondered where Willow and Jasper were. And if they were safe.
"They'll be fine, Echo, just relax. Willow and Jasper have been on the run together for longer than most of us have...." Shade's voice was soft as he watched the trees.
I wanted to call to them. I had just found this family, I didn't want to lose them so soon. "What about the Hunters? What if they've been caught?"
"Relax, ok? They will be here soon..." It sounded as if he was trying to comfort himself more than me.
His breathing slowed as he fell asleep beside me, his great, black pelt rising and falling with a steady rhythm. I couldn't sleep. I wanted to know that Willow was safe.
I swiveled my ears at every sound, a snapping twig, a rustle in the bushes. It was close to eleven-thirty now. I was scared. In half an hour i would have to wake the pack and move deeper into the trees.
I could hear footsteps, human, too heavy to be a shifter, too loud, all shifters moved quiet, no mater the form, as a survival skill.
Getting up, I listened closer. Voices, male voices, rough words that i couldn't quite make out. Were they Hunters?
Moving silently through the bushes, I followed the sounds, the closer I got the more I picked up. I could smell gun smoke and blood.
"We know there are more!" A gruff voice ordered, a strangled yelp answering his demand.
I caught sight of a large man in Hunter gear holding a slight woman by the hair.
Willow! I wanted to call out to her, to rescue her, but there were five other men, all holding large guns and silver pistols on their hips.
Jasper was thrown against a tree, blood dotting the corner of his mouth. Was it his or one of the Hunter's? I couldn't tell. Around his throat, something shiny cause my eye.
Silver! Of course! that was why they didn't shift and take these guys down. Silver was the only material that could contain a shifter, it couldn't hurt us in the form of chains or cages, but it prevented our power from working. And I could almost bet those guns were loaded with silver bullets.
I turned on a paw, racing back to the caves as fast as I could. They were looking for us, and they already had two.
"Shade! Shade!" I barked, trying to push him to his feet. "They have them! The Hunters have them!!"
"What? Echo, calm down..." He looked up at me. "What do you mean?"
"Willow and Jasper! The Hunters caught them! They have them chained with silver and they are coming for us next!"
He was on his feet in a heartbeat. "Wake the others, we have to move."
"But what about Willow and Jasper!? We can't just leave them!"
"What happened to Willow and Jasper?" Rusty's head raised up out of the clump of bodies.
"The Hunters have them." Shade explained. "Wake everyone up." He looked at me. "We can't risk the younger ones."
"But we can't just leave them!" I snarled.
"Leo, Brooke and Faline are plenty old enough to keep themselves safe." Salem said, his sandy pelt brushing mine as he stood beside me. "We need to rescue our packmates."
Rusty nodded. "I agree. Together they will be fine. Willow and Jasper, they are the ones in need right now."
Leo, Brooke and Faline stood side by side at the cave entrance. "We will be fine..." Brooke assured us. "Go rescue our family..."
My heart went out to those three as we left them in hiding. They were so brave for ones so young. I knew I was never that brave. I just hoped everything was going to be ok.

The program "Tensions rise in Nagorno-Karabakh conflict" broadcasted by Germany's international broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW) on July 31, 2015, is biased, one-sided and beyond the principles of objective journalism, head of the press service of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Hikmat Hajiyev stated.
According to the Ministry's spokesman, the DW's sending its camera crew to Azerbaijan's occupied territories is the violation of the territorial integrity, sovereignty and laws of Azerbaijan.
"The program deals with Armenian aggression against Azerbaijan and false statements of "military and civilian representatives" of the so-called regime established by Armenia in the occupied territories. However, the program purposefully includes no information about the rights and sufferings of more than a million Azerbaijani refugees and internally displaced persons who were the victims of the conflict and subjected to ethnic cleansing. The program serves the promotion of bloody ethnic cleansing committed against the Azerbaijani people, Armenia's occupation and aggression against Azerbaijan and so-called criminal regime created as a result of it, thus it is disrespect for more than one million refugees and internally displaced persons and the Azerbaijani public," he said.
Hajiyev said though DW claims that one of its main objectives serves the understanding between cultures and peoples of the world, it serves escalation of religious and ethnic dissension via this program.
"Distorting the true nature of the conflict, broadcasting a biased program, "DW" also demonstrates its contempt for the local and international audience. Such an approach is also considered to be a violation and abuse of freedoms of expression and press. The most serious concern is the fact that DW, which is a public broadcasting company, is financed by the state budget of Germany. Azerbaijan's embassy in Germany will officially appeal on the matter to the country's relevant authorities.
We hope authorities in Germany will thoroughly investigate the issue of the preparation and broadcasting of this programme, which is in contrast with the spirit of Azerbaijan-Germany ties, the official position of Germany – as a member of the OSCE Minsk Group – regarding the conflict, and freedom of press, and will issue an adequate statement in this regard," stated Mr Hajiyev.

Chapter 36: Clandestine
For once, Tsunade read a mission report lower than A-ranked. Shizune couldn't have been more grateful as she skipped out of Tsunade's office, her arms laden with C and D rank missions. Tsunade, on the other hand, couldn't have been grimmer. A nasty part of Team Gai's report stood engraved in her mind with a bad after taste.
When going over the surveillance footage, we could only identify two people going down into the high security vaults. Gai wrote.
Tsunade picked up the picture again and squinted at it. The photo was grainy and pixilated, as though someone had enlarged it too much.
As seen in the picture, the taller one had long black hair and the shorter one had platinum hair pulled back. Because no one else was seen going down to those vaults on this day, we have to assume that these people are the culprits. The video shows that they went down into the basement, but there aren't any security cameras around Vault 26, but we assume they went it. However, after that, they did something very strange. They ran back up the stairs to the section of the library designated to Hokages and appeared to kidnap someone who was reading a book up in there.
Tsunade picked up a picture of two blurs racing up the stairs and compared it with another picture of two blurs grabbing someone. Whoever they were, they were training ninja; only ninja can move that fast.
It's difficult to tell, but we think they dragged him back down into basement. Then stayed there for approximately 10 hours and then came back up, however it looks like only two people left.
Tsunade narrowed her eyes at the pictures of the two people leaving. The long, black-haired one led the way, but the short platinum-haired one seemed to have gained weight. The short haired one may actually have been two people, but with the graininess of the photo, it was difficult to tell.
Tsunade spread the pictures out on her cluttered desk and began to examine them closer. The two culprits… one with long black-hair, one with short white hair, tied back… She knew two people who fit that description, who were smart enough to break into a maximum security vault, and good enough ninjas to never look directly at the camera and move quickly enough to avoid detection. Just the thought of both these people made Tsunade sick.
She bit her lip and began a letter to Jiraiya. If those two were involved, even if there was the slightest chance that Orochimaru and Kabuto were in Zosho, Jiraiya needed to know.
Three days at sea brought little comfort to the three teammates. The fight with Lee was still fresh on their minds.
"You think they were there because of us?" Naruto whispered as he stared out into the sea.
"I don't know." Sakura put her hand on top of her wig for security reasons. "but I can't think of anyway they could have found out about us being in Zosho. We were disguised."
"But we weren't on our trip to Lightning Country."
"Yeah, but Fire Country ninja aren't allowed to go up there." She sighed. "I think it's safer to assume that Konoha was alerted when we got Shodaime's scroll. I just hope our cover hasn't been blown."
"I don't think so." Naruto rested his chin on the railing and let the sea spray his face. "Lee told us that we were dead."
"That's true." Sakura rested her chin on the bar as well. "We can't take too many chances though. We should probably lie low for a while."
"Hmmm." Naruto hummed in agreement, and they both looked sideways, 20 feet away, at Sasuke. The black haired boy stood, gripping the cold metal railing on the other side of the boat, in the same place he'd been for three days.
"You think he's okay?" Naruto asked.
Sakura didn't answer. If only there was a medical remedy for this sort of thing.
Naruto crossed the divide between them to inspect his friend, closely followed by Sakura.
Sasuke looked out into the black ocean. Days seemed like an eternity to him, and yet, as they drew closer to their destination, he felt as though time had gone by too quickly. He didn't respond to his teammates and they tried everything to get him to snap out of it. Naruto went as far as challenging Sasuke to a duel, right there on the boat. Sakura quickly put an end to it, but a small part of Sasuke wished she hadn't; a fight might have taken his mind off their destination.
The air began to smell like Sound Territory, a mixture of trees and blood, bringing back memories Sasuke thought he could lock away. He heard screams, the splash of blood against a wall, felt the damp chill of dark places. Sasuke shuddered and tried to hide his face in his collar.
The boat slowed to a halt and bumped against a long wooden pier. All the muscles in Sasuke's body tightened to stone as he looked down the rickety bridge of a dock seeing nothing but fog engulfing the opposite end of it. He didn't know if he could detach his hands from the boat's steel guard rail. Little did he know, his companions shared his uneasiness.
Naruto and Sakura had been into Sound Territory only a handful of times, but none of those memories had been happy. Beyond those times, the only hints at what happened they got, were the looks on Sasuke's face. Every time the subject came up he looked sick, which only increased their curiosity more.
Indeed, right now, Sasuke looked very sick. Naruto stood three feet away from him, unsure whether his friend was going to crack the beam he clutched so tightly or throw up. It occurred to Naruto that Sasuke might do both and, from then on, stood four feet away from him.
A warm breeze plucked at Naruto's brown wig, but it wasn't a nice sort of breeze like in Zosho or Sea Breeze Island. This stuff was gross and sticky. It clung to the inside of Naruto's yellow shirt and made his neck feel oily. It was as though the air was rotting. He didn't want to breathe it; in fact, he didn't want to get off the boat, but the one-legged captain shooed them off cane. They were left on the edge of the creaking wooden pier watching the old man disappear into the humid fog.
Tentatively, they looked behind them. Supposedly, there was land somewhere on the other side, though, none of them wanted to reach it. In fact, Sakura was getting pretty comfortable with the plan of just staying right there on the moldy, lonely pier and living out the rest of Orochimaru's endless life there, but Sasuke stepped forward. And then he did it again. And again, until he was actually walking toward the shore.
"C'mon," he whispered hoarsely, "The sooner we get there, the sooner we can leave."
The other two didn't need much more motivation; they quickly scampered behind him as he walked stiffly through the mist. For several minutes, they walked in a void of white. Sakura began to wonder how far exactly was this pier, Naruto kept feeling like Zabuza was going to jump out and kill him. The path made several sharp turns and finally opened up to a larger, smellier dock. Other people meandered around on it, if you could call them people. They were more like shadows, all dressed in the same dirt brown cloak, faces turned to the ground.
The three passed a dusty immigration station. It had grown as one with a twenty-foot high wooden wall, which swooped around as far as they could see. The top was lined with spikes; a few seemed to be tinted the black of dried blood. At one time, not too long ago, the station may have seemed intimidating and foreboding, but now the entire wall had fallen to disrepair. The wooden columns smelled of piss and people had taken no time to carve chunks out of it; phrases started out as simple as "Ichigo was here" to large obscenities, sometimes sprawling 10 feet in length. The immigration house had been torn to pieces and looted, leaving nothing but the dying wooden frame and smashed out windows. With no one sitting at the post to meet them, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura moved into the town.
They stepped out onto a cracking cobble road covered with dirt, grime and filth. People were everywhere, walking down the main roadways, sitting against the rotting buildings, all drenched in the same dirt-colored robes. It felt as though everything was being played in slow motion. Few people talked, and if they did, they did so in hurried and hushed whispers. The wooden buildings, broken and beaten, hummed with the empty voices of the people inside.
Naruto felt like an unsightly blemish on the face of this town. He could feel people looking at him, but every time he turned his head, they immediately looked away. He had the distinct feeling that they were whispering about him too, but couldn't pick up any conversation.
The solemn shadows walked, heads down, through the streets. Many of them carried large packs on their backs or hauling wheelbarrows, the contents covered in the same brown cloth as their owners. All the people seemed to be moving in the same direction, toward the city gates.
"It's like everyone's leaving…" Sakura whispered.
"Maybe they're migrating," Naruto rubbed his chin, "like birds."
Sakura threw him a dirtier look than the road they were walking on.
"Idiot." She muttered.
"What?" He cried. "It's a possibility."
"With a city this broken, I wouldn't want to live here either." Sakura said, ignoring Naruto and looking at the monochrome of the buildings and people. "With Orochimaru gone, these people probably don't even have a police force or anything…"
"You're giving Orochimaru too much credit." Sasuke interjected harshly, speaking for the first time since they entered the port city. Both of his teammates perked up and stared at him. "It's been a long time, but…" He looked around. "I've been here before, with Orochimaru and, sure, some of the houses had windows, but it wasn't much different."
Sakura opened her mouth to say something, but couldn't think of anything, so she closed it again. Her unspoken words clogged the air and they fell into an uncomfortable silence. Naruto squirmed and searched drastically for something to break the tension.
"Um…" He began. "Shouldn't we find a place to stay for the night?"
Both the other two turned to look at him. Sakura gave him an incredulous look.
"Are you serious?" She asked.
"Um…" Naruto rubbed the back of his head. "Yes?"
"Naruto, we're trying to reach the Northern Ribbon as quickly as possible!" She cried, slightly inclining her head toward Sasuke. They needed to get out of the country quickly for his sake. Sasuke seemed to pick up on this gesture.
"Yeah." He said. "Let's find a place to stay."
"What?" Sakura exclaimed. "But-"
"Don't worry about it." He said and walked off toward a side street. "It's not very good to travel around here at night anyway."
Naruto and Sakura trotted after him, wondering what he was concocting in his mind, but they soon found they had little time for that. Sasuke turned a corner on to a residential street and the hunt for shelter began. Finding an empty house was the easiest thing Naruto had ever done; most of the apartments were abandoned, but this too became a problem. The first place didn't have hot water, the place next to it had a cockroach problem, and the entire block next to those didn't have electricity. It became like Christmas shopping; so many gifts but none you could give to your mother.
Finally, they found a small place on the second floor of a complex about two blocks from the main road. The lights worked, the water worked… sort of, but some of the floorboards were loose. They all rolled out their sleeping bags and stared at each other, not knowing what to say. After a few minutes, they made a silent agreement to climb into their sleeping bags and go to bed,
Earlier that day, many miles from away, Neji stuck his hands in his pockets and stared down at the tablet labeled "Uzumaki Naruto." A brisk summer breeze whistled through row after row of grave markers and pushed his long hair into his face, but Neji didn't care. His mind kept floating back to the three people he'd seen in Zosho. He stared down at Naruto's grave as though it was a slug, disgusting, small, and not nearly adequate for Naruto. He wanted to kick it really hard.
Neji looked to his left, saw Shino standing beside him and looked back at the grave. Both stood in cold silence, ignoring each other, yet secretly curious as to why the other was there. On the rare occasion the Hokage gave you some time off, why would you spend it in the cemetery unless you had something hanging over your mind.
Unbeknown to the other, Shino felt the same way Neji did, except Shino understood why he want to kick the grave. It was a lie. Ever since Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura had been "cremated", Shino went to the cemetery every chance he got to see if the graves had been moved and the real ashes had been put there. So far, there was no difference; the graves looked the same as ever.
The wind tossed a petal off the stem of the flower Hinata had brought earlier and it went tumbling against Shino's jacket and then away down the hill. The petal hit someone else as he made his way nonchalantly toward them, but neither Neji nor Shino cared to look.
"Neji, Shino." A voice called them out of their reflective trances. They both looked to the left and saw Shikamaru coming down the row towards them. Neji quickly deemed him less interesting than his morbid reflecting and turned back to the grave stone.
"What are you two doing here?" Shikamaru persisted as he came and stood next to Neji.
"Nothing." Neji said quickly. There was something reverberating in the word that made the two boys look at him. The snappy, reserved, yet resigned tone that Neji used led Shikamaru to believe that he was hiding something
Shikamaru leaned in to try and get a good look at Neji's face, but Neji avoided his gave.
"Neji," Shikamaru continued to glare into the boy's cheek, "I heard you just got back from Zosho. Tenten told Ino that you were acting strange towards the end. Could it be…" Shikamaru's glare intensified, "… that you saw something?"
Neji's head whipped around. Shino looked up from the grave stone, his sunglasses hiding wide eyes as he stared at Shikamaru.
It couldn't be…?
Neji and Shikamaru glared at each other. Shikamaru had the impression that Neji was staring right through his eyes, through his skull and into his brain, trying to figure out what was going on in there. After a minute, Neji turned back to the grave.
"No…" Neji muttered, not taking his eyes off Shikamaru. "Why..?"
Shikamaru straightened. He hadn't had a conversation this intense since he confronted that Sasuke-Look-A-Like… what was his name? Takkun or something. He was just opening his mouth to answer when another voice called out to them.
"Neji? Shino? Shikamaru?"
They all jumped as though they'd been caught spray painting Naruto's grave and turned to look.
"Iruka-sensei…" Shikamaru whispered, and so it was.
"Good afternoon." Iruka beamed at them at them as he made his way over. He clutched a cup of dry instant ramen in one hand and a coffee thermos in the other. "My, my, so many people coming to visit today. You have a lot of friends, Naruto."
He moved around Neji and approached the grave, placing the instant ramen next to Hinata's flowers. He peeled back the paper lid halfway, unscrewed the cap of the thermos and filled the noodle cup to the line with boiling water. He pulled the paper lid over the cooking ramen and reached into his pocket, producing a pair of chopsticks. Iruka pulled the chopstick from their wrapper and, without breaking them apart, stuck them upright into the cup-o-ramen. After replacing the cap on the thermos, Iruka straightened up and clapped his hands in prayer. Feeling a little foolish, Shikamaru, Neji and Shino did the same, then felt foolish for feeling foolish.
"Iruka-sensei," Shikamaru piped up. "Why instant ramen? I thought Naruto's favorite was Ichiraku's."
"It is." Iruka fingered his cheek, "but I can't afford that all the time. I'm on a teacher's salary." Iruka beamed sadly down at the cold rock slab. "I'll bring him Ichiraku this weekend." He whispered.
A pang of guilt ran down the spines of Shikamaru, Neji and Shino, though none of them understood it.
"You bring him ramen a lot, Iruka-sensei?" Shino chimed in. eager to shake off the feeling.
"As often as I can." Iruka smiled at him. It was a sad sort of smile, the kind men use when their masculinity prevents them from crying.
This is bullshit. Neji's fists tightened. He suddenly had the urge to kick Naruto's grave again.
"Iruka," He said. Iruka looked at him. "Don't you-" his fingernails bit into his palms. "What if they're.… Isn't it possible…?" Just tell me I'm not insane!
Neji took a deep breath
"What if they're not dead?"
Shikamaru and Shino shot straight upright, staring wide-eyed at Neji.
Could it be..? Shikamaru's brain scrambled around as though it were on white hot coals. He did see something in Zosho!
Iruka merely smiled and look sadly at Naruto's grave again.
"I like to think he's alive somewhere." Iruka sighed. "Sometimes it would make more sense; it's hard to believe Naruto would be brought down by something as insignificant as an explosion, but I don't know if I think that that way because it's true or because I want it to be true. Nothing would make me happier than to see him now, alive and well, but at a certain point, you have to just accept what's true. My brain says the Hokage-sama is right and he's dead, my heart makes up theories about him being alive somewhere, but all I know for certain is that he's not here."
Iruka looked into the blue sky.
"I wish I had Kakashi-san's strength." He whispered.
"What about Kakashi-san?" Shino asked. Now that he thought about it, he hadn't seen Team Seven's leader since the recovery mission.
"Nothing, nothing." Iruka looked back down again and smiled.
"There's only one other thing I know for certain." He went on. "Wherever Naruto is now, whether it's this world or the next, he's with his closest friends. Wherever he is, he's happy."
Naruto was miserable. No matter how he tried, he couldn't sleep. His head felt hot under his wig.
Whose stupid idea was it to wear these 24/7 anyway? And why'd I have to suggest we stay here overnight anyway? He grumbled. This town gives me the creeps.
He looked over at Sasuke, a dark huddled mass on his left. Naruto couldn't begin to imagine what was going on in his head. Naruto was no fool; Sasuke treated his days with Orochimaru like Gaara treated the days before he met Naruto. Naruto could see pain and anger behind those eyes. He'd been there too.
While Naruto's brain kept him awake with these thoughts, he hardly noticed that they had a visitor. A small figure poked its head from under a loose floorboard, saw three sleeping mounds and, more importantly, three traveling packs, and grinned. It moved the floor board aside and crept out of the hole, slithering toward the luggage. Looking cautiously at the sleeping residents, the small creature wiggled its greedy little fingers and silently pulled a bag toward itself.
As it struggled with the draw string latch, it heard a sound from the ground at its feet and felt something cold next to its big toe. It looked down at its sandal and saw a yellow-handled stainless steel dagger pinning the sole to the floor. A hand held the dagger in place. The intruder followed the arm to the yellow sleeping bag and came across the face of Naruto, glaring evilly at it in the dim moonlight. The creature jumped, or would have, if Naruto's dagger had not been there.
"Idiot." Naruto whispered. "Don't think that just because you're quiet I don't know you're there. And don't think just because they look asleep that they didn't know you were here either."
Before Naruto was halfway done with his sentence, the intruder had begun to pull its foot out of its shoe, slipping out and away from Naruto.
"Hey!" Naruto cried as the little figure bolted.
With some effort, Naruto wriggled his way out of the sleeping bag and dashed after the small creature. It slipped through the hole in the floor boards and moved them back just in time for Naruto to nose dive into them.
By this time, both Sasuke and Sakura had pulled themselves free of their sleeping bags. Sasuke dashed for the door, Sakura yanked Naruto to his feet and followed Sasuke out. They all looked over the balcony and down to the ground floor where they saw a small figure running out from. A flickering street lamp doused the creature in light for a moment, just long enough for Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura to see that the small bandit wasn't some unearthly being, but, in fact, a child. It was dressed in dirt brown clothes and a hat that seemed 5 sizes too large that made it impossible to tell gender. They all vaulted off the balcony and began to chase after it.
For such a small person, it was very fast. It weaved in and out of alleyways, out running three well-trained ninja.
"That little…" Naruto cursed as the child slid under a fence. He scrambled over some trash cans and crawled over the spiked wood. His hand slipped and Naruto face-planted on the other side, nearly landing on top of the kid.
Naruto cursed again as Sasuke gracefully hurdled over the fence, landed on his feet beside Naruto and ran after the child. Naruto barely had time to think insults when Sakura came plowing through the fence like a bulldozer.
"Idiot, what are you doing, just sitting there?" She cried, grabbing his wrist and yanking him to his feet.
Sakura spotted the kid climbing up a drain pipe to the third floor of a nearby building. Sasuke had just reached the base of the structure when the kid hopped on to the third floor landing and ran toward an empty apartment. In direct line of sight, 100 feet away, Sakura locked on to her target. She glared and grabbed Naruto by the front of his shirt with one hand, the button front of his cargo shorts with the other.
"Wait, Sakura-chan, what are you-!" He blushed and flailed helplessly against her grasp.
"Think fast, Naruto!" She cried and with one swift motion, she lifted the protesting Naruto into the air and threw him like a javelin at their target.
"GYAAAAAHHH!" Naruto screamed as he flew through the air like a rocket. Then he realized he didn't have time for screaming; he was about to hit the third floor cement railing.
"Rasengan!" He cried, curling his hands together at his side, mixing the chakra into a tight ball. He smashed the sphere into the railing and it crumbled away like stale bread. The kid turned around to see the commotion, but only saw the nanosecond before Naruto came plummeting into it, grabbing the child around the waist. The two were sent smashing through the apartment door and tumbling into the room.
Shaking off his dizziness, Naruto pinned the kid to the floor. The child struggled like a dying animal until its hat fell off. Long blonde hair spilled out on to the floor and Naruto found himself on top of an angry, brown-eyed young girl. In realizing the awkwardness of his situation, Naruto let his guard slip and she head-butted him. Hard.
Naruto cried out, cursing, and tumbling off her, clutching his forehead in pain. The girl had underestimated how solid Naruto's head was and likewise clutched her temple and groaned.
As he messaged his forehead, Naruto snuck a peek at the girl. He could see very little of her face beneath the shadow of her hands; she was biting her lip in pain. Suddenly, she stopped, a sinister smile creeping over her mouth. Naruto ignored the blood running into his eyes and gawked at her.
A distant crash echoed from outside. Naruto jumped up and ran to the door. He squinted in the direction of the sound and saw the abandoned apartment where they were staying. Many other small creatures were leaving it, each carrying arm loads of goods, of which Naruto recognized his own personal belongings.
"Goddam it!"
Author's Note: Firstly, this chapter is dedicated to my roommate, who really helped me when I was stuck using the same words over and over. man, this chapter did not want to come out. I swear, everything got in my way of writing it. I made several fatal errors that took forever to correct and then when I looked at them again, I realized they weren't so fatal. >. Sorry this chapter is somewhat shorter that the last ones have been. I moved a lot of stuff around and took out about half of the chapter itself. Don't worry, it'll all make it's way back in there somehow.
A little on the chapter: Firstly, if you couldn't tell, Orochimaru and Kabuto weren't in Zosho, I can't emphasize enough how Tsunade was seeing Sasuke and Sakura, not the other two. Also, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura aren't in the Sound Village yet, I wasn't very clear about that, but they're only in a port city at the moment. And lastly, you should all be hating Iruka right now. If he hadn't said all those mushy things about his opinions on Naruto's death, I'm certain Shikamaru, Neji and Shino would have spilled the beans to each other and would've figured the whole thing out. Funny how the only ninja who have some proof are those least likely to talk about it. ;)
Next Chapter: The origins of the little brat! An a dillema for Sasuke! what will he dooo?

In signing with the Ottawa Senators Tuesday, the goaltender indicated he was motivated to return by last season's event in Detroit, when his image took a beating. He was criticized because he showed up out of shape and then announced in February that he was out for the season before the Red Wings were willing to make that declaration.
"He wants to prove that he can do it again," said Senators general manager John Muckler. "He's trying to show that he's best goaltender in the world again."
Before signing the two-time MVP, Muckler insisted on a lengthy interview with Hasek. He spent two days with him "because I wanted to know why he wanted to play again."
Muckler could sense that pride was Hasek's prime motivation, and he demonstrated that by accepting a contract that puts him among the highest-paid players only if the Senators go far into the postseason. For next season, Hasek would receive $2 million, but he has bonus clauses that could earn him more than $4 million more if the Senators win the Stanley Cup. There's a second-season option for a base salary of $3 million, plus the bonuses.
"He's playing for the right reasons," said Muckler, who knew Hasek from their days together in Buffalo when Muckler was GM. "He even told me if there is no season (because of the anticipated lockout), he would play in the minors or in Europe."
It has been 25 months since Hasek helped Detroit win a Stanley Cup, and he will turn 40 in January. No goalkeeper 40 or over has helped a team win a Stanley Cup since Johnny Bower, then 42, showed goalie duties with Terry Sawchuk during the Maple Leafs' 1967 title.
"Jacques Plante and Johnny Bower (had success) into their 40s," Muckler said. "You can't play a 40-year-old in 80 games, but there is no reason to believe they can't have success."
The Senators were a trendy pick to win the Stanley Cup last season, and goaltender Patrick Lalime became a scapegoat for the team's playoff failures. He gave up two weak goals in Game 7 of a first-round loss to Toronto and was traded to St. Louis at the NHL draft late last month. The theory is Hasek's presence alone will add another layer of confidence to the Senators' talented cast.
"I wanted to play for a team that I believe can win the Cup," Hasek said at his introductory news conference in Ottawa. "And I believe that with my help, all together, we can do it."
One presumption is new coach Bryan Murray will open up the offense just a bit, and that could result in the team giving up more shots. Also, the Senators are expected to add some toughness and that could mean more power-play chances for the opposition. That would seem to suit Hasek, who traditionally has been sharper when he faced more shots.
The biggest question about Hasek has been his health. He has had some history with groin injuries. However, Muckler said the team's research showed that the kind of surgery Hasek had is "successful 90% of the time."
Muckler said Hasek owns a "shot machine,"and he has been facing 100 shots a day for three weeks during his dry-land training. He will resume skating Aug. 1, and he will come to Ottawa to skate with teammates in late August.
"You can see the enthusiasm he has in his face," Muckler said, echoing the joy Hasek feels.
"Ottawa was my first choice and I was very excited when my agent called back and said they were very interested in me," Hasek said. "And today I'm here."

Gibraltar's regulator recently issued its ILS guidelines. Michael Ashton, senior executive at Gibraltar Finance, tells Intelligent Insurer what this means for the jurisdiction and how it is seeking to establish itself as a leading ILS domicile.
As the insurance linked securities (ILS) markets continue to grow, competition is becoming fierce between domiciles to become the preferred jurisdiction for these deals. But while Bermuda dominates North American-based deals, Gibraltar eyes an opportunity to grab market share for European deals.
The Financial Services Commission (FSC), Gibraltar's finance regulator, has issued new ILS guidelines that it hopes will help attract more deals. They deal with the approval process, the fee structure, and the types of transaction that can be based in Gibraltar.
Michael Ashton, senior finance centre executive at Gibraltar Finance, says the rules reflect dialogue with EIOPA and are also designed to factor in Solvency II. "The Gibraltar regulations have transposed the Reinsurance Directive, the principal European Union legislation which sets the standards to be followed for the establishment of special purpose vehicles (SPVs), and are Solvency II-compliant based on the most up-to-date EIOPA technical standards for SPVs," he says.

Steve Rampley asked the Naked Scientists: Do you figure there Is there any scientific way to prove or disprove "free will?"What do you think?
Quote from: tkadm30 on 22/12/2015 13:02:18consciousnessWhat is this?
The concept of free will vs predetermined destiny is a question that only is based on belief and not a hypothesis that can be proved imho.
As far as personal opinion I believe in free will, but to prove free will is as illusory as trying to prove evolution to a creationist, Loved Ben Carlsons comment n Oprah today, how could it not be intelligent design if creatures are able to adapt to their environment.
Freewill is realized through the act of choosing between alternatives. The act of choosing is a product of ignorance. If you had complete knowledge you would not choose because you would already know the correct alternative.
The greater the knowledge the less the need to choose and the greater the responsibility for making bad choices. Question: why do punish individuals who due to their biological make-up and limited intellectual capacity, make bad choices? Answer: because we choose to ignore the reality of the human condition.

Urine glycyl-L-proline increase and skin trophicity

Glycyl-L-proline (gly-pro) is an end product of collagen metabolism that is further cleaved by prolidase (EC 184.108.40.206); the resulting proline molecules are recycled into collagen or other proteins. We postulated a relationship between defective gly-pro hydrolysis, increased collagen degradation and skin destruction. This relationship was tested using HPLC to measure the gly-pro in urine. 24 hour urine samples were collected from 27 old people (86 ± 6 years old), of whom 15 were suffering from skin pressure sores of the sacrum or calcaneus. The urine from patients with pressure sores contained significantly more gly-pro than the urine from the control. A cut-off at 7μmol/ mmol creatinine gave the test a positive predictive value of 70%. Collagen breakdown was also increased as indicated by the increase of hydroxyproline (hyp) in the urine. But this breakdown seemed to stop at the gly-pro step.

A PRIZE presentation ceremony was conducted yesterday by the Language and Literature Bureau (DBP) at the Dewan Balai Sarmayuda, DBP building, for the winners of the 'Batuturan Dialek Kitani' Competition and the 'Bicara Minda' Competition held in conjunction with the Language Month 2014.
Present as the guest of honour to present the prizes was Awang Haji Mohd Rozan bin Dato Paduka Haji Mohd Yunos, Permanent Secretary (Media and Cabinet) at the Prime Minister's Office.
Chairing the event was Dayang Hajah Nortijah binti Haji Mohd Hassan, the Acting Director of the Language and Literature Bureau.
A total of 83 participants in categories A and B took part in the 'Batuturan Dialek Kitani' competition in which 37 participants competed in the Brunei Malay dialect, 13 participants in the Belait dialect, six in Bisaya dialect, four in Murut, 12 in Dusun, four in Kedayan and seven in the Tutong dialect.
However, seven participants from the Bisaya, Murut and Kedayan dialect sections pulled out of the competition leaving only 76 competitors in the fray.
The first place winners of the Category A are Ainaa Zunah Insyirah binti Hj Abd Manap in the Brunei Malay dialect; Alya Sofiyya @ Roszie Rudzdarwisyah in the Belait dialect; Elis Erwany binti Pitar in the Dusun dialect; and Muhammad Mateen bin Husin in the Tutong dialect.
The first place winners of Category B are Dayangku Nurul Syafiqah Hakeemah binti Pengiran Shaiful Rezal Malek Faesal in the Brunei Malay dialect; Nur Haziratul Hafizah binti Tahirudin in the Belait dialect; Nursyafiqah binti Muhd Hamizan in the Dusun dialect; and Dayangku Umi Aqillah binti Pengiran Isa in the Tutong dialect.
The objective of the competition was to introduce languages or dialects to the society in order to strengthen the language or dialect of indigenous groups so that it will not face extinction.
Moreover, the competition aimed to uncover the talent in students for storytelling using their own language and dialect casually and convincingly, as well as to enhance their skills in using their indigenous languages or dialects, including to foster a sense of pride within the younger generation towards their language or dialect that will enable them to be more knowledgeable and appreciative of the stories of their heritage, in addition to building their self-confidence to compete more efficiently.
The 'Bicara Minda' Competition was divided into three categories.
In the Pre-University Category, Dayang Siti Nur Syazwani Rizawati binti Mohammad Shari obtained first place, while Awangku Mohammad Aziman bin Pengiran Haji Rakawi won the first place in the University Category.
The objective of the 'Bicara Minda' Competition was to increase awareness among youth on the importance of the Malay language as the official language and the language of knowledge be it in spoken or written forms; to add on reading material in the Malay language aside from elevating the Malay language as the language of knowledge and the country's official language; to encourage the culture of reading, noting, writing, creativity and to inspire the mind as a vehicle for the development of idealism.
Prizes were also given for the Best Student in the Malay language and Literature Subject for the GCE Brunei Cambridge 'O' Level Examination 2013 from the Tutong and Belait districts.

Policy for Renewal Training Courses for Water System Operator Recertification
This policy establishes criteria for renewal training to ensure that the training is under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instructors. The criteria established are the minimum requirements and are meant to assure that drinking water operators will receive professional development opportunities needed to complete their job duties and responsibilities, which is to supply safe drinking safe to the public.
Recreational Use Policy
Maximizing drinking water quality to protect public health is of the highest priority to public water suppliers. Public water suppliers recognize that multiple barrier protection of drinking water supplies and their watersheds is essential in order to meet these goals.
It is a fundamental principle of water supply development and protection that water should be obtained from the highest quality source feasible, and every effort should be made to prevent contaminants from entering the source. When faced with efforts by recreational users or others to increase recreational access to water supply reservoirs and/or surrounding land, utilities should oppose such efforts on the basis of increased risk and communicate those risks accordingly.
Massachusetts Water Management Act Policy - 2006
The New England Water Works Association (NEWWA) has been asked to comment on the effectiveness of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection's (MassDEP) Guidance Document for Water Management Act Permitting Policy, effective date January 17, 2006. This Policy applies to Permit and Permit Amendment Applications and 5-Year Reviews. The Policy has received extensive criticism from communities and water suppliers throughout the Commonwealth, directed in part at MassDEP's lack of meaningful public involvement in its development. Another concern that has been repeatedly expressed is the use of the Stressed Basin Report, which was issued by the Massachusetts Water Resources Commission in 2001, to categorize permittees in terms of the standards they must meet.
NEWWA is fully supportive of protecting and managing water resources, including streamflow. However, one of the major objections has been that the requirements of the Policy will not be effective in achieving the stated goal of mitigating and restoring streamflow and may harm efforts for continued and sustainable economic growth throughout the Commonwealth, another stated goal of the Water Management Act (WMA).
