Bringing together poetry published during the last six years, Strange Attractors is the most recent and extensive collection by the Prague-based award winning writer Louis Armand. Armand's themes shift between New York cityscapes and the Moroccan desert; from dissections of contemporary aesthetics, philosophy and politics, to reflections on human intimacy, the sympathetic faculty and violence. Among the most prolific and widely received poets of his generation, Armand's work has been described by Miroslav Holub as luminous with verbal innovation and critical insight. As the editor firstly of the Prague Revue and later of the PLR (Prague Literary Review) – Armand has participated in, and often presided over, many of the literary transformations and reformations of the decade since communism's collapse in central Europe. At the same time, Armand's work has remained strongly internationalist, eschewing the facile temptations of literary nationalism This volume confirms Armand's standing as a major figure of the Prague renaissance and the post-fin-de-siècle of English-language poetry internationally.
'Louis Armand seeks to create a different kind of poetry. A voice that is both immediate and reflective, vital and residual. His is a poetry of extraction and distillation that merges myth and presence, that is elegiac and celebratory, ironic and sincere.' —John Kinsella
'Armand pursues the complex challenges language poses and his own language is luminous and original, both in structure and in poetic form.' —John Millett
'Armand's ideal poet controls not primarily with language's rhythmic music, but with how words collide and warp upon themselves …' —Ethan Paquin

The Ministry of Justice has refused to reveal how a convicted murderer serving a life sentence escaped a courtroom with a weapon before he was stopped by security guards outside Kingston College.
Richard Kwakye from Twickenham managed to flee from Kingston County Court on June 18, with a piece of wood with a screw fixed to the end, before guards caught up with him in St James Road.
He had attended court for a family related matter, but was able to escape and even pushed a Kingston University student off her bike in the attempted getaway.
Kwakye was sentenced to three years in jail time last month in addition to the 35 years he is already serving for the murder of 19-month-old toddler Siariah Letang who died from smoke inhalation.
In a letter to the Surrey Comet, a spokeswoman from Her Majesty Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) said: "HMCTS holds the information you have asked for, but we will not be providing it to you.
"We have concluded the public interest favours withholding the information.
"HMCTS takes the issue of security within courts extremely seriously and has a robust system to protect all court users."
The Surrey Comet will be appealing the decision.

Senate Democrats are committed to fixing the economic crisis inherited from Republicans but to do so we must make critical investments in our nation's future – including investments in education so that all Americans will be able to compete in the global economy. Democrats believe everyone deserves access to a complete and competitive education from childhood to college and beyond. Our budget invests in better teachers and better schools, sharpens our focus on teaching science and technology, and ensures all students can afford higher education.
By investing in education, Democrats are investing in the future of America and our next generation of leaders. After years of neglect and funding cuts during the Bush Administration, Democrats are committed to the belief that quality, affordable education is crucial for our nation's future economic strength. The inherited fiscal and economic crises underscore the need to invest in education and training programs to build a highly-skilled workforce ready to compete in the global marketplace.
Eight Years of Inaction and the High Cost of Education
Skyrocketing College Tuition Costs. Since the 2001-2002 academic year, college costs have risen by 43 to 58 percent. Average tuition, fees, room and board costs at four-year private universities have increased by $10,276, or 43 percent, from $23,856 to $34,132 in the 2008-2009 academic year.[1] Tuition, fees, room and board charges at four-year public colleges jumped from $9,032 to $14,333 for the 2008-2009 academic year – an increase of $5,301, or 58 percent.[2]
Soaring Student Debt. The rising cost of a college education means that average student loan debt has soared, to more than $19,000. Without adequate federal grants funding, students and their parents must rely more on student loans to finance their college educations. According to the Institute for College Access and Success, more than 60 percent of college seniors graduate with debt, with an average $19,200 in debt per graduate.[3] Finally, as more students and families rely on student loans, banks are increasing their lending standards due to the credit crunch.[4] Students and their families remain concerned about continued access to student loans.
Senate Democrats Create Opportunities for Americans to Learn
In the 111th Congress, Senate Democrats have already passed significant legislation that will create American jobs, invest in America's future, and improve educational opportunities for all Americans. These Democratic initiatives address inherited problems neglected over the past eight years.
In February, the Democratic-led Congress enacted the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009(Recovery Act) (P.L. 111-5), to help our nation recover from recession and make long-term investments to strengthen our economy in the future. Through the Recovery Act, Democrats secured funding to create jobs, maintain critical programs, and ensure that children are not shortchanged in the classroom.
In March, continuing their record of fiscal responsibility, Senate Democrats passed the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009(Omnibus). The Omnibus (P.L. 111- 8) reflects the priorities of America's families with funding for high quality pre-school and after school enrichment programs, financial aid for students attending college and initiatives to assist disadvantaged students reach their potential.
These investments will address the budget crisis currently gripping state governments. Already 21 states have implemented cuts to k-12 education and 28 states have cut public higher education or instituted increases in tuition. The Recovery Act provides $53.6 billion for the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund including $39.5 billion for local school districts and public colleges and universities to prevent further cuts, preserve teaching jobs, and maintain important programs for students. Senate Democrats are committed to ensuring that our students are prepared for the challenges ahead even in the midst of state budget gaps.
Early education. Educational opportunities at the start of life are critical on the path to success. The Recovery Act and Omnibus directed $9.2 billion to Head Start and Early Head Start, two programs aimed at providing educational, health, nutritional, social and other activities for young children. The Brookings Competitive Initiative reports that children who participate in early education programs are more likely to graduate from high school, less likely to commit crime and more likely to secure a job. Democrats understand that investing in our youngest students is the key to long-term success in school and in the workplace.
Support for disadvantaged students. The Title I Grants to LEAs program of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act provides resources to local school districts to help disadvantaged students succeed academically. The Recovery Act and Omnibus direct $24.[5] billion for this program. In addition, these two bills invest a combined $3.5 billion for the Title I School Improvement Grants program, which provides funding to help turn around struggling schools that have been designated in need of improvement under the No Child Left Behind Act.
Support for students with disabilities. Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) authorizes aid to school districts to help them pay for the costs of educating students with disabilities. TheRecovery Act and Omnibus provide $22.8 billion for this purpose. This investment will help students with disabilities achieve success in the classroom.
Afterschool programs expand learning opportunities. 21st Century Community Learning Centers provide a safe and supervised environment for students before the school day begins and after it ends. The Omnibus provides $1.1 billion to serve 1.7 million children who rely on these Centers for care and instruction. These programs continue the learning experience for participating children by providing enriching opportunities while their parents are at work.
Improve teacher quality. The Recovery Act and Omnibus provide funding for numerous programs that will improve teacher quality and give teachers more tools to help raise student achievement. The programs and combined funding levels include: nearly $300 million for performance-based pay incentives; $150 million for teacher quality partnership grants to improve the quality of and support for new teachers and recruit highly qualified individuals to join the teaching force; and more than $900 million for education technology grants, which will give students access to 21st century learning tools and provide teachers with professional development.
Reduce the barriers to college. Pell grants are the foundation of federal financial assistance that helps low- and middle-income undergraduate students and their families pay for the costs of post-secondary education and vocational training. The Recovery Act and Omnibus direct more than $36 billion to Pell Grants and other federal student aid programs that help millions of families pay for college. The maximum Pell Grant award for the 2009-2010 school year will be $5,350, an increase of $619 over the 2008 level. Democrats are committed to assisting families struggling to meet the rising costs of attending college. This commitment will allow students to continue to attend school, a critical investment in their future and our nation's competitiveness.
Senate Democrats Create Opportunities for Americans to Serve
As Americans face the numerous challenges created by the economic crisis, the need for service to our communities is greater than ever. On March 26, 2009, the Senate approved the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act (H.R.1388). The House passed the legislation on March 31, 2009, and the President has indicated he will sign the bill.
This legislation reauthorizes the National and Community Service Act of 1990 and the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973, and authorizes nearly $6 billion over five years to expand opportunities for Americans to engage in service throughout their lives.
Currently, programs such as Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and Learn and Serve America, support almost four million Americans in service to more than 70,000 community organizations. These services have had the empowering and inspiring effect of mobilizing an additional 2.2 million volunteers. This army of volunteers has the power to transform and inspire communities across America.
The bill would expand the mission of the Corporation for National and Community Service (the Corporation) and increase the number of national service participants in the AmeriCorps program from 75,000 current members to 250,000 over the next eight years. An analysis of AmeriCorps shows that every $1 invested produced returns of up to nearly $4 in direct, measurable benefits. By creating the ServeAmerica Corps, the Corporation will be able to target service in four areas in need of increased assistance in low-income communities, including: Clean Energy, Education, Health Futures, and an Opportunity Corps to boost financial literacy.
The Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act (H.R.1388) renews a spirit of national service and encourages volunteerism in all age groups. An Encore program will also be developed to engage the retiring baby boom generation, which has a multitude of talents to share. A Veterans Service Corps will also be established to support the service of veterans.
Two new programs would be created under the National and Community Service Act of 1990, including a Youth Engagement Zone to Strengthen Communities program and a Campus of Service program. The Youth Engagement Zones aim to engage high school students and out-of-school youth in the transformative experience of service through partnerships between community organizations and schools in low-income communities. The Campus of Service program would support and recognize institutions of higher learning with outstanding service-learning programs and provide funding to support students' pursuit of careers in public service.
The Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act (H.R.1388) wouldcreate a Summer of Service program to enlist middle and high school students in volunteer services at home, including a $500 education award to be directed for the cost of college. The legislation would also increase the education award in AmeriCorps to match the Pell Grant award. It would raise the award to $5,350 and tie it to future increases in the Pell Grant. The bill permits the education award to be transferrable to the children or grandchildren
At the time of this writing, the House had not considered the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act (H.R.1388), as passed by the Senate.
Senate Democrats Focus Budget on Education
This week, the Senate is considering the Fiscal Year 2010 Budget Resolution (S.Con.Res.13). The Budget Resolution recognizes that a high-quality education is the key to individual success in today's global marketplace and is crucial to securing our nation's future economic strength. To maintain our competitiveness in the world economy, American students of all ages, including adults who find themselves in need of retooling their skills to meet the demands of a new economy, must be equipped with the tools necessary to succeed in the 21st Century. Unfortunately, the rising cost of education, compounded by the economic downturn, has depleted families' savings and threatened the possibility of higher education for many students. The Budget Resolution addresses these critical needs by providing our students with critical support and resources.
Supporting President Obama's Priorities. The Budget Resolution fully funds the President's request for discretionary education and training programs over the five-year budget window.
Expanding Early Childhood Education. Building on investments made in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (P.L. 111-5), the Budget Resolution supports the President's goal of expanding number of children served by Head Start and Early Head Start. These proven, effective programs prepare low-income children to enter kindergarten ready to learn by providing child development, education, health, nutrition, and other services.
Increasing Support for Children from Disadvantaged Backgrounds. The competitive educational advantage Americans used to enjoy, relative to other nations, has eroded, and our global competitors now spend less money per student, but have better educational outcomes.[5] We cannot afford to allow our students to be outperformed. The Budget Resolution calls for a significant investment in building human capital through programs that target low-income students, such as Title I, and for innovative and effective strategies to reduce achievement gaps and improve student learning.
Improving Student Aid. In 1979, Pell grants covered over 70 percent of tuition and fees a public four-year university. Today, Pell grants cover about a third.[[6]] As the cost of attending college has risen, federal assistance to students and their families has not matched the need. The Budget Resolution provides a deficit-neutral reserve fund to support a $5,550 maximum Pell Grant award in the 2010-2011 school year. As the primary source of federal need-based student financial aid, over 75 percent of all Pell Grants are awarded students from families making $30,000 or less.[7] Pell Grants are indispensable for millions of students who might not otherwise have had the financial resources to pursue a college degree. The reserve fund will also allow authorizing committees to consider the President's proposals for student aid, such as expanding and strengthening Pell grants, or to provide tax incentives for higher education.
Preparing and Supporting a Quality Education Workforce. The quality of our education workforce is key to our students' education success. Building on investments made in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the Budget Resolution invests in programs designed to improve the skills and effectiveness of America's educators.
Encouraging National Service. Building on the recently-passed Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act (H.R.1388), the Budget Resolution provides the President's requested funding level for the Corporation for National and Community Service, and encourages Americans to serve their country and community.
Building on Success, Committed to Excellence
Senate Democrats are committed to repairing the economy through long-term investments, including in education, in order to address inherited problems which have been neglected over the past eight years. We will build on the success of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (P.L . 111-5), the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009,(P.L. 111-8), and the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act (H.R.1388) by passing a fiscally responsible budget plan that addresses the fiscal and economic crises inherited from the Bush Administration and lays the foundation for the long-term economic security of the United States. The Budget Resolution sets the stage for future legislation considered by the 111th Congress, and it is built on the belief that excellence in education is critical to helping Americans compete in the global economy.

- I'm in here now, 24 hours. --ChiefjusticeDS 00:22, February 10, 2010 (UTC)
|OK, the humour here isn't too bad, and there are some amusing parts to the article but at the same time there are some problems that are making this one harder to enjoy. The first thing that struck me upon finishing your article was that despite having read the whole thing, I was still unsure what the main driving focus of the article had been, you may wish to blame this on me being thick, but I thought that the structure was somewhat incoherent and not particularly conducive to your humour. Permit me to expand; the sections in your article are obviously there to explain who and what a CEO is in the manner you desire for the article, however each of your sections doesn't really connect to the others and they all seem to be driving at something different. My problem was that as I finished your preamble and moved into the first section I was anticipating the continuation of either the trait of abusing large amounts of power or the inhuman nature of CEO's to be used here, but instead you begin writing about something completely separate. You return to some of these themes later in the article but only briefly, for example when you say "Well many CEOs do good things, for instance they often say thank you to the plebeian who squeezes their toothpaste" that is the sort of thing I would like to see more of since it exploits what we already know for the humour. If you take a look at some of the featured articles on similar topics to this you will notice that they all tend to have a theme behind them and that all the humour is geared towards this theme. As far as your article goes my feeling was that you have a theme, that CEO's are essentially psychopathic and evil, but you are trying to reach it in such a way that your humour doesn't seem to be driving in this direction.
My recommendation is that you go back and take a second look at the whole article and you try to establish a running joke, running jokes are really useful for guiding both your writing and a reader's interpretation of the article so the absence of an obvious one in your article marks a significant point for improvement. My advice for coming up with a running joke for your article is to work with what you have written down already, consider the existing jokes you are making in the sections and try to find a common element that they all share, it is also worth considering writing an entirely new set of jokes into the article just to bind things together a bit more. I'm not trying to say that what you have done is utterly lacking in humour, because it isn't, as I will expand on below, but rather you are trying to get the point of the article across by using each of the sections to present a different aspect of the character, and while this does work to an extent it doesn't get your humour across as well as if you steadily built it up.
The issues above aside there are a couple of other problems that you might wish to have a second look at. I noticed that on a couple of occasions you tend to throw a lot of jokes at the reader, in the "History and Purpose" section particularly, there are different jokes from sentence to sentence, there is no real necessity for this, it tends to overwhelm the reader and jokes cease to be amusing, try slowing things down and pruning a couple out. What I am essentially recommending here is that you carefully, and with the help of HTBFANJS if you feel it is necessary, go through and make sure that the article doesn't overwhelm at certain points. I won't go on about this further since you have plenty here to look at. Remember your humour isn't bad, it the way it is being presented is what is causing the problem, sort this and the article will get much better very swiftly.
|The concept is OK, but the tone is letting you down here. You started very well on this one and I certainly wasn't anticipating the problems that you run into later on. It is a simple matter of deciding whether or not you want to use the encyclopaedic tone or whether you want to be informal. You are being predominantly encyclopaedic here so I would recommend changing some parts of the article to make sure it fully conforms to this tone, try to avoid being informal and starting sentences as though the narrator of the article is speaking to the reader, the whole point of the encyclopaedic tone is to present the information carefully, and to be subtle when presenting a view or opinion. If you want a good example of some excellent ways to do it take a look at this article as it does it very well. Otherwise not much to say on this one, as I already said, you made a good start, you just need to replicate it through the rest of the article.
|Prose and formatting:
|Generally good on this one, the spelling and grammar is of a pretty high standard and I could only find a couple of errors, the best thing I can recommend to you is to proofread your work carefully just to make sure you get any of these errors. Good practice in doing this would be to carefully check any new edits you make to your humour as spelling errors and grammar problems can really cause problems for your article. Beyond that my main recommendations regard your image formatting, it is generally good. My main problem is that formatting as you are encourages the images to cover the entire side of the article, just make sure that if you are doing this the images are sized correctly to remove any major white space. That is the majority of the formatting problems.
|Your images are generally good, beyond the formatting problems I mentioned above I think the only thing that you should do now is to take a look at your captions; you need to make sure that they fit with your humour and your tone, since you could go in any direction you like with your humour I will not suggest things that you should do, I am only attempting to remind you of the importance of your captions to your images. My general feeling is that if you sort the humour in the main body of the article and then see what you can do with the captions with regard to linking up the humour, then you will have a far easier job.
|My overall grade of the article.
|Final Score:
|I think that you have some excellent ideas here and that you should definitely work to bring these ideas out in your article, currently a reader has to focus carefully to extract the humour from the article, if you can remedy this problem then the article will be infinitely better. All you need here is to make some careful edits to the article, if done properly this should exponentially improve the article very quickly. If you have any questions or comments then feel free to leave them on my talk page. Good luck making any changes.

I agree wholeheartedly on LoGH and DYRL, but it's sad to know they'll never be brought over, ever. If you're a diehard anti fansub person, you're going to miss out unless you like stuff comparable to Warriors of the Wind. Oddly enough, I'm playing that in my anime club tomorrow simply because it deserves to be seen. I chose early in the semester for a reason, because more people show up than later on.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes is definitely my most pressing desire to have licensed for R1. It's my second favorite anime series, a real sweeping epic that actually feels enriching just watching it.
As much as I'd like Space Adventure Cobra licensed, Max should be aware that the so-called "fifth version" of the Saiyan Saga DBZ fans are buying is the Dragon Box, damn it.
I also agree about Macross: Do You Remember Love? It's still beautiful.
I don't know about Ideon, though. To be honest, I found the TV series to be almost unwatchably corny and Be Invoked nothing but a lurid snuff film. Though, I suppose the same might be said of Evangelion, to some degree.
What I'd like to see is a proper release of the TV series Space Battleship Yamato. Voyager Entertainment had the movies, but of the TV series, it was all Star Blazers DVDs.
I wouldn't mind Turn A Gundam, either. That and more Lupin III.

Dag nabbit, I was gonna write in telling how much I wanted to see Violinist of Hamelin get a release here.
How can you not love a show where a guy carries a piano around on his back in order to fight evil with the power of classical music? That show is so awesome it hurts.
Beyond that we definitely need a release of the second half of Cat's Eye. Anything by Tsukasa Hojo is gold in my opinion.
Also, major seconds on wanting some Dirty Pair TV.

About the fluke, isn't that just the normal con cold? You put thousands (and thousands) of people together and over half only make a small attempt at personal hygiene, eating and sleeping. It's easy to catch a cold that way. Even if you don't catch a cold, you'll still feel like crap when you get home. Lack of sleep and proper food does that to you.
As for the Japanese, they appear to be extremely scared of germs, so they take all sorts of weird (and next to useless) precautions. It's just something they do.

Many titles mentioned by replies of Answerfans are available "outside of Japan" unless, of course, one defines "outside of Japan" as "United States."

Hrum, meant to write this week for a manga title- Living Game. The collector in me screams for it, especially because it is my favorite manga of all time. But I suppose I'll have to settle for my digital copies.

Why the hell wasn't Rose of Versailles ever brought here to the States anyway? Just because something's old does NOT mean it should be looked down on! Same goes for The Door into Summer, Nineteen 19, LOTGH, Bobby's in Deep, Gundam ZZ (How did Zeta Gundam even do anyway?), the original Captain Harlock (Read: Not the Americanized adaptation, Captain Harlock and the Queen of a Thousand Years), the Galaxy Express 999 TV series, the rest of Lupin III (The green jacket series, the rest of the red jacket, and the pink jacket show) and every other Macross series that isn't SDF or Plus! (Also, FUNimation needs to get off their asses and get the rest of Kodocha yesterday!) And then there's the matter of Sailor Moon Sailor Stars...along with the rest of Sailor Moon, so that future generations can watch it in its original, unaltered, un-Macekred format. (If anyone can pull that off, FUNi can, since they and Toei are like this. -----> **whips out crossed fingers**)
Stupid kids these days with their precious Naruto, K-ON!, and Kaze No Stigma don't appreciate the classics! How dare they! Without these olschool shows, they wouldn't have the stuff they're watching now!
Why the hell doesn't anyone get the whole legal mess surrounding Macross sorted out yesterday? Or, better yet, just screw the whole thing and release it all here anyway instead of being so stingy about it!

I've heard Rose of Versailles is very expensive to license, but I wonder if that is true. The manga (and anime as well?) is available in Germany, France and a bunch of other countries.

@The question about American animation, I know it's over a decade old, but the Spawn series that aired on HBO is excellent and clearly shows that Western animators can handle more mature material.
Actually, include the 90s Batman series and Gargoyles. Plus I'm sure there's tons more.
Such as, The Boondocks (Seriously)
If you want an amazing drama, check out the third season of Moral Orel (Also totally serious about that)
And finally... 12 Oz. Mouse
Not. Joking.

I typed most of this Friday but then I realized I had typed a ridiculous amount so I was going to edit it, but then school started and I forgot to e-mail my answer. I would still very much like to share my answer and see if there are fellow fans who feel the same.
Well off the top of my head I'd have to say Anal Sanctuary because it sure sounds like more fun than half the fantasy shoujo manga series I've never wanted to finish.
I kid. I've had a very ready answer to this question for years now.
Daa! Daa! Daa!
Also known as UFO Baby, this series is so dear to me that in 2006 when I returned to Taiwan after not having been there for 5 years, I sought to find all 9 volumes of the manga in Chinese and the 2 volumes of it's sequel, Shin Daa! Daa! Daa!.
When I was a little kid, I used to travel to Taiwan a lot so I grew up with a lot of anime and manga since they have long been popular all over Asia. I remember fondly buying goods of my favorite shows and then feeling disappointed when there was little to be found in the US. It's an out-of-place feeling that makes me believe that what I'm yearning for is not only a visit to Taiwan again but nostalgia. Daa! Daa! Daa! reminds me of this.
The manga series ran in Nakayoshi from 1998-2002 and was adapted into a 78-episode anime series which ran from 2000-2002. The total circulation of the manga reached approx. 2.8 million copies. Basically it was a pretty popular shoujo series for a young audience. And when was the anime bubble where we saw the most R1 releases of sometimes random things? Like 2000-2004, right? So it would seem logical for some company to have licensed this series. Yet neither the manga or anime (which are both thoroughly enjoyable since the anime has some of its own stories) have been licensed so far.
I can see maybe why it hasn't been licensed yet. Cardcaptor Sakura, another series from Nakayoshi, had big success and it is an even earlier series than Daa! Daa! Daa!. However CLAMP, the mangaka, have had several successful series after that. Daa! Daa! Daa!'s mangaka, Mika Kawamura, has not, making it harder for a company to want to pick up an older series nowadays. Let's see... Kodocha, another young shoujo manga was released in the US in 2002. Later, the anime's first season was released in 2006 but due to a lack of sales the second season release was canceled.
But hope is on the horizon! I just discovered that Del Rey announced at Comic-Con that they have acquired one of her more recent series Panic x Panic from 2005. Sort of a weird choice since from what info I can find online it's only 2 volumes long and has no anime adaptation. I'd really like to know the reason behind this or if there is hope that Del Rey will license Daa! Daa! Daa!.
So back to Taiwan: In 2006, years after Daa! Daa! Daa! had ended I went to manga shops trying to find every volume. I managed to find one in basically the underground market (the manga was right next to computer goods). But I only found the first 8 volumes and the sequel, so I was missing the last volume of the first series. Then it was even more difficult trying to find just the last volume! I was about to give up until somebody pointed out to me that it was the last day of the Taipei Comic Exhibition. Only one booth was carrying older releases and when I got there I saw the complete set 1-9, and individual volumes 1-8.
"Do you have any more individual 9's?"
"No, it's the last day of the exhibition."
Well I bought the complete set.
P.S. If anyone happens to have Vol. 9 in Traditional Chinese, I BUY.

It's the sad truth about western animation - you might get anime fans to support a long form series - but too many people would pass it by because they either have the "cartoons are for kids and weirdos" stigma or the "it's not Japanese, therefore it can't be good" stigma, thus not making it profitable for the executives to budget something like that.
Maybe if the Avatar creator duo wins the lottery and bankrolls their own projects...
As for Answerfans, my "OMG so old and no one would ever license it series" got licensed - Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl (I love you AnimEigo) I didn't think Sailor Moon applied because it had been licensed before, but if we're including expired licenses, then yes, I would like to see a rerelease - with a dub that had actors trying to act based on character and not worried over imitating the Japanese, like with Cloverway.
Rose of Versailles would be amazing. Marmalade Boy and Nurse Angel Ririka SOS so that I could compete my shoujo collection...

Yeah there are definitely some highlights among Western Animation, but I think no matter how hard they try, it'll never have huge mainstream appeal. I don't think the majority of people will ever get over the whole mindset of "All Animation="Cartoons"=Kiddy (with the rare exception of Prime Time Animated Sitcoms" Just like the people who think Anime is some kind of perverse past time of Tentacles and fanservice.
Anyway, I'm kicking myself for missing this week's question, I always seem to do that. I look at it and go "Cool question, think I'll answer it later when I can collect my thoughts", and I forget.
I would say having a large chunk of subtitled Classic Tatsunoko titles would be nice. It's kind of annoying when in interviews for Tatsunoko vs Capcom they say "Well, we watched a lot of episodes to make the character's portrayal of characters as accurate as possible. Lots of hidden episode references. Watch the DVDs if you can."
A couple of obscure VHS Anime titles I'd like to see re-released is the Final Fantasy OVA based of FFV and the Fire Emblem OVA. The latter really frustrates me. I know it's nothing amazing, but it's just so facepalm-worthy that ADV released this on VHS just a few years BEFORE Fire Emblem became well known in the states. They really could've made a killing.

One Day on Earth is the result of an effort to use the Internet to amass footage from across the globe and turn it into a free online archive and feature-length film while building and maintaining "a global online community."
This epic 'time capsule' was created from footage collected by amateur videographers around the world on Oct. 10, 2010 by Kyle Ruddick and Brandon Litman, two graduates of the University of Southern California. Kyle Ruddick, a Topanga resident for many years has said he came up with the idea of documenting every corner of the world on a single day after attending a world music festival and watching various sonic styles mingle.
Topangan Kyle Ruddick who founded the project and helmed the monumental task of working over 3,000 hours of collected video, assembling it into a cohesive, poetic and profound work of art is thrilled to be able to share the film with our community, and what better place then the Theatricum. Many Topangans have participated in the film and will be on hand to celebrate.
Filmmaker Kyle Ruddick will be on hand to introduce the film and discuss this amazing journey.
From the 101: Take the Topanga Cyn Blvd exit S. Continue South on Topanga Cyn Blvd for approximately 5.5 miles. Theatricum Botanicum will be on your right.

Choose from the following tours:
Yosemite Escape 3 Day Camping Tour- Adlt $359 Chld $339
Yosemite 2 Day Hotel Tour- Yosemite Lodge $509 Cedar Lodge $419
Yosemite in a Day Tour- $149
Yosemite Escape 3 Day Camping Tour:
Departs May-October
Explore America's favorite National Park on a camping trip that will take you off the beaten path-to trails and sights unseen by most who venture here. 3 days and 2 nights of camping, hiking, and swimming, in a fun-filled, friendly atmosphere.
We leave San Francisco in the morning after pickups from your accommodation. Once out of the city we stop to purchase fresh food for our time in the park. Once we have all of our provisions we will cross the central valley and through the Gold Country on our way into the mountains. Once in the park you will have a 1 1/2 hour guided tour as we descend into Yosemite Valley, which is the most famous and picturesque part of Yosemite with some of the world's tallest waterfalls and incredible vistas made famous by the photographer Ansel Adams. While in the valley your guide will give you an orientation to the park as well as an explanation of the itinerary and options that you will have for the next two days. After a some time in the Yosemite Village you will head for the campsite to set up the tents and cook a delicious meal, ending the day with some drinks around the campfire as you decide what to do with your next two days in the park.
Rising early we prepare breakfast and lunch, clean up camp and head off in the van for a fun day in the park full of hiking, sightseeing and exploring. The itinerary can vary depending on the chosen hike for the day but we normally go up into the high country to explore the beautiful mountain lakes, snow melt waterfalls, amazing granite rock formations and trails as high as 11,000 feet. On this first day we can also hike down to the Giant Sequoia trees, the largest living things on earth. The hike through the Sequoias is shaded and pleasant and brings you right up close to these massive wooden monuments, some of which are over one thousand years old and measure up to 30ft wide & 300ft tall. At the end of the day we head back to camp for dinner and to unwind by the campfire.
This is what we call the free day where the exact itinerary is flexible, based on the interests of the group. Normally we head into Yosemite Valley where you can choose one of the number of great hikes, rent a bike or relax in the shade by the emerald green Merced River. After another full day in the park we head back to San Francisco arriving in the city around 9pm.
This adventure includes camping equipment (except a sleeping bag), six meals (DBLDBL), park fees, tax, and transportation. If you need to borrow a sleeping bag, we will rent it to you at a rate of $30 for the trip. Trips depart every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday from May 23- October 19. Come enjoy the good times with M06040.
Camping is easy, but cooperation is important. Don't worry if you've never camped before, many people haven't. We supply all the camping equipment necessary for a trip of this nature, using quality tents, camping and cooking equipment. Everybody is expected to participate in setting up and breaking down camp. We camp at the best campsites, most with hot showers and swimming in rivers, pools, or the ocean.
We provide the food, but not the chefs. You guys are the cooks, waiters, dishwashers and of course the guests. On leaving a city we stop at a supermarket and buy everything we need. The fare is a mixture of chicken, beef and vegetarian, all you can eat and very tasty. Most people eat better with us than they have done previously on their travels.
We use 15 passenger vans with air conditioning and stereo for a comfortable ride. Our vehicles are fueled by Biodiesel, a vegetable oil-based diesel fuel, to promote green business. All of our vans have large roof racks for your luggage and the camping equipment.
Sleeping Bags
For camping, you will need a sleeping bag. If you don't have one, we will rent one to you for $30 for the two nights.
What to Bring
On our journeys you will need sneakers or hiking boots, shorts, T-shirts, swimwear, sun protection, a water bottle, flashlight, and something warmer in case there is a change in weather.
June through September Yosemite is hot and sunny. May and October days are warm with cooler nights and occasional showers.
Who Goes
Most of our travelers are young international backpackers. Whether traveling on your own, or with friends, M06040 is a great way to meet others, see the sights and really explore Yosemite.
Yosemite 2 Day Hotel Tour
Year-round Departures
*There are two hotel options for this tour. Yosemite Lodge is located in the heart of the valley and close to all major valley highlights.
Cedar Lodge is located about 10 minutes from the park along the peaceful Merced River valley.
Yosemite is the flagship of America's National Park Service. You will be able to enjoy more time in the park than on any other overnight tour because your guide stays at the same hotel. On our tour you get to spend all day in the park and then your guide will deliver you to the door of your hotel room for a comfortable night's rest. The next day you will be driven directly into the park to take advantage of another full day. There's no need to waste time waiting for shuttle or bus transfers to get to/from the park.
The two days in the park are divided between Yosemite Valley and the High Country. Yosemite Valley is a glaciated valley famous for waterfalls and rock formations including Yosemite Falls (the tallest waterfall in North America and fifth tallest on Earth), El Capitan, Half Dome, Bridalveil Fall, Sentinel Dome and many more. The valley is approximately 1 mile (1.5 km) wide and 7 miles (10 km) long so we conduct our tour by stopping and getting out for a number of photo opportunities. During the tour you will see the valley from a number of great vantage points, possibly the best of which is Inspiration Point at 4,500 feet above sea level. Yosemite is a mecca for rock climbers and the sight of people climbing El Capitan's 3,000 ft (1 km) sheer rock face is quite amazing (seasonal).
The High Country of Yosemite ranges from 8,000ft to the peak of Mt. Lyle which is over 13,000ft high! Most often we visit Glacier Point (seasonal) on these tours where you can look down on the valley from a bird's-eye view 3,000ft above. In addition to the spectacular views you can take a hike to the top of Sentinel Dome or Taft Point. On one of the days you will have the opportunity to hike amongst the Giant Sequoias, the largest living things on the planet. This plant species is found in one area of the world only, the western slope of the Sierra Nevada.
We stay at the Cedar Lodge which is situated in the picturesque Merced River canyon close to the river. The river flows heavy in spring and early summer but is beautiful to swim in during August and September. Cedar Lodge has private beach access on the Merced River along with a heated indoor pool and jacuzzi as well as another pool outdoors. All you need to take with you on this tour is a day pack with what you need to hike. This way you can leave your larger luggage items at your hotel in San Francisco and travel lightly with no hassles.
Yosemite Valley, the High Country, Giant Sequoias, and the comfort of a bed: Our overnight hotel trip has it all.
Yosemite in a Day
Year-round Departures
Hailed as the "crown jewel" of the National Park Service, Yosemite is truly a breath of fresh air. On this day tour you'll spend 5-6 hours snapping photos of waterfalls, and watching climbers scale granite cliffs. As with all our tours, the price includes the entry fee so you won't be surprised by unexpected costs when you get to the park.
The day begins with picking you up from your lodging between 6:30 and 7am and heading east across the Bay Bridge offering great views of San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island and Fisherman's Wharf.
On the way we stop at a fruit stand in the Central Valley. Famous for its rich volcanic soil, the Central Valley is a booming agricultural region best known for almonds, grapes, tomatoes, peaches and strawberries.
After our rest stop we begin our journey up through the cattle and horse ranching lands of the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Continuing on through California Gold Country, and the old gold rush town of Groveland, we wind our way into Yosemite National Park.
Maps and guides in hand we begin with a one and a half hour guided tour through Yosemite's glaciated valley with its famous waterfalls and rock formations including Yosemite Falls -- the tallest waterfall in North America and fifth tallest on Earth, El Capitan, Half Dome, Bridalveil Fall, Sentinel Dome and many more. The valley is approximately 1 mile (1.5 km) wide and 7 miles (10 km) long and we conduct our tour by stopping and getting out for a number of photo opportunities. During the tour you'll see the valley from a number of great vantage points the best of which is Inspiration Point at 4,500 feet above sea level. Yosemite is a mecca for rock climbers and the sight of people climbing El Capitan's 3,000 ft (1 km) sheer rock face is quite amazing (seasonal).
After the tour we stop for the afternoon near the base of Yosemite falls (seasonal). Here you'll get a chance to walk to the base of the falls, get some lunch, visit the main visitor's center, The Ansel Adams Gallery, The Ahwahnee Hotel, rent a bike or hike some of the shorter trails. Although you could spend three weeks in Yosemite, the three hours you get on your own is time enough to experience what has made Yosemite one of America's most popular national parks. We know you'll be impressed.

Stanford CA (SPX) Jul 23, 2013
Most big data centers, the global backbone of the Internet, could slash their greenhouse gas emissions by 88 percent by switching to efficient, off-the-shelf equipment and improving energy management, according to new research.
The carbon emissions generated by a search on Google or a post on Facebook are related mostly to three things: the computing efficiency of IT (information technology) data center equipment, like servers, storage and network switches; the amount of electricity a data center's building uses for things other than computing, primarily cooling; and how much of the center's electricity comes from renewable or low-carbon sources.
Adding renewable power to the mix can help reduce a data center's overall emissions by 98 percent when combined with other strategies, but renewables are not the first choice for reducing emissions, the analysis shows.
"Of these three, improving the efficiency of the IT devices is overwhelmingly the most important," said Jonathan Koomey, a co-author of the study, "Characteristics of Low-Carbon Data Centers," published online June 25 in Nature Climate Change.
It's about the processors
Big, outward-facing companies whose business primarily is cloud computing have solved the sustainability problem for data centers. In addition to Google and Facebook, companies like Amazon, eBay and Expedia have instituted most or all of the changes, motivated by cost, publicity and pressure from environmental organizations. eBay even discloses its data center efficiency publicly at dse.ebay.com.
"These companies were hearing a lot of noise from Greenpeace and others. Apple went 100 percent renewable so they didn't have to hear about it, and with their high margins, they could afford to do that," said Koomey. "Electricity is a major cost for these companies, and in many of the countries where they operate, carbon emissions have a cost, or soon will."
Other ways to avoid wasting electricity include faster computers that pay for themselves fairly quickly and using flash memory on the motherboard instead of hard disks.
Not following best practices are innumerable companies and institutions that are not primarily cloud-computing entities and are more inward-facing. Examples include the major media companies, airlines, government, universities and others supplying the vast data that feed the Googles and Expedias of the world.
Nowhere near what's possible
Department heads at such organizations typically want to keep control of their servers rather than centralize, which eliminates most potential optimization. And the managers who order and operate the equipment are often not accountable for energy costs or efficiency - a major institutional barrier to sustainable computing.
"The utilities and IT departments have separate budgets, and neither operates with the goal of saving the company money overall," said Koomey. "The IT people don't care about putting in an efficient server, because they don't pay the electric bill. Once you fix the institutional problems, then the company can move quickly, because the needed equipment is off-the-shelf and the energy management practices are well understood."
This principal-agent problem applies elsewhere in energy, too. "Who designs and builds your cable box? The cable company. Who pays the electric bill? You do," said Koomey. "So, you end up with a cat warmer on your shelf."
Koomey noted that the computing efficiency problem is sometimes exaggerated. Data centers consume about 1.5 percent of the world's electricity and are responsible for about 0.5 percent of carbon emissions. And the Internet overall is reducing greenhouse gas emissions because it distributes goods digitally that once were delivered physically, like books, music, publications and mail.
Easy reductions
A key measurement of efficiency is the ratio of electricity used to perform computations to the amount of power consumed for secondary support, like cooling and monitoring systems. Typically that ratio is about 1 kilowatt-hour for computing to 0.8 kWh for the facility.
"State-of-the-art data centers have reduced the ratio to about 1 to 0.1 kWh," said study co-author Arman Shehabi of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's Environmental Energy Technologies Division.
"They locate server farms in cool climates like the U.S. Northwest, Sweden and Iceland. They purchase processors that are less sensitive to heat. And they use efficient cooling equipment and air-flow management."
Of the potential 88 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, though, IT device efficiency accounts for about 80 percent and facility energy management for only about 8 percent. Once those two areas are maximized, sourcing electricity from renewables like wind and solar power, plus green handling of retired equipment, can get a typical data center's emissions down 98 percent.
Policymakers and environmental organizations, however, tend to focus on the third option - renewable energy, which the study finds to be a misplaced priority.
"For data centers, as for all uses of energy, efficiency is always the first thing to do. It's cheapest and allows you to get more mileage out of your equipment," said Northwestern's Masanet.
"Most centers get their electricity from the local utility, rather than generate it themselves," he said. "So, high-energy data centers that pay their utilities a premium for renewable power unnecessarily tie up low-carbon electrons that might otherwise be used to reduce emissions from other customers."

Thornley has joined on non-contract terms and is set to make his Conference bow at Scarborough on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old started his career at Old Trafford before spending three years with Huddersfield and briefer spells at Aberdeen and Blackpool.
"Ben is looking for a club at the moment and could be with us until the end of the season," boss Chris Wilder told the Halifax Courier newspaper.
Thornley started this season with hometown club Bury but was released after making five appearances and recently spent time at Partick Thistle.
Meanwhile, Wilder, who has been looking to add some experience to his attack, has told former Rotherham midfielder Danny Hudson that he will not have his contract renewed in the summer.

Contrary to what we saw on the floor last night, apparently some Sixers are upset that they got blown out to end their season. After the jump we'll take a look at some quotes and Coach DiLeo's post-game press conference.
DiLeo, after the game:
My only response is he better not take too much time off. They're going to need him to get back to what he does best, evaluate talent, for the draft.
I will however, come out now and officially say I don't want him back coaching next season. For me, a head coach has to perform a handful of tasks very well in order to get his team to play up to its level.
- Motivate his team
- Install a system on both ends of the floor
- Draw up a game plan heading into games
- Adjust that game plan at halftime according to what's happened on the floor
- Manage the game (rotations/timeouts etc.)
I'd like to take a look at quotes Theo Ratliff made after the game now, particularly this one:
"The coaches are responsible for guys [being] prepared and playing," he said. "They have to hold guys accountable. It's been that way all year, so you couldn't expect anything different."
Earlier in the story, Jasner paraphrased Ratliff's thoughts as follows:
He didn't like what he perceived as a lackadaisical approach during the day, and how that filtered insidiously into a game in which the Sixers never had a chance, never gave themselves a chance.
I touched on this in a post heading into game 6. I saw it with my own eyes. If you want to know how a team which shows such unbelievable heart in games like the win at the Lakers, or in game 1 of this series, but then comes out and gets embarrassed when it's all on the line, this is the simple answer. Winning basketball isn't just about what you do on the court for those 48 minutes, it's about tireless preparation and practice. It's about an attitutde. Especially as a young player, if you're fooling around during pregame instead of running through your reps, you won't be prepared come game time.
As far as I'm concerned, the responsibility for this lackadasical attitude falls on the shoulders of not only DiLeo and his assitants, but the leaders of the team as well. That's what makes these quotes from Andre Iguodala troublesome to me:
OK, so if the team as a whole has a problem communicating, it's your job, as the "leader" to communicate with those younger guys. It's your job to kill any inner turmoil. It's your job to get in someone's face when they have a mental lapse. It's your job to make damned sure everyone is "there." If you scour the internet, I doubt you'll find a bigger supporter of Andre Iguodala than me. I've written thousands of words on how I think he's under-appreciated as a player. I still stand by that. He's the best player the Sixers have, he's a top ten player in the league. As a leader, though. He has a long way to go.
"We weren't always there."
"We had mental lapses."
"We had inner turmoil."
"We have a young team. At times, I think we have a tough time understanding the importance of communication as a whole," Iguodala said.
Last night in the fourth quarter with the Sixers barely clinging to any semblance of hope, they turned the ball over. It was kicked ahead to Pietrus, Iggy was tracking him down the floor. If you wanted to send a message. If you wanted to fire your team up. Heck, if you just wanted to play tough, playoff basketball you would've fouled him to prevent the breakaway dunk. Instead, you went for a half-assed block, and he jammed it down your throat.
Throughout the game, he watched as Thad Young was abused on the blocks by Rashard Lewis. He stood on the opposite side of the floor checking Hedo Turkoglu or Pietrus. A leader doesn't stand there and lament the mismatch. A leader tells Young it's time to switch. Rashard tried to back down Iguodala twice in the game when the Sixers switched a screen. The first time, Iguodala stripped the ball and it ignited a fast break. The second time, Lewis didn't have the strength to push Iggy into the lane, so he wound up taking an 18-foot fadeaway instead of a five-footer. It was an airball. Coach DiLeo should've made that adjustment, but you know what, Iguodala could've taken it upon himself as well.
This Magic series was a far cry from the embarrassment of the Detroit series for Iguodala. I thought he played 4 very, very good games and he tried desperately to take over game 5 as well. He almost succeeded. As a player, I saw great signs. As a leader, not so much.

Dog Veterinary
Ask a Dog Vet and Get Answers to Your Dog Health Questions
Thanks for the question.While I cannot diagnose this over the internet I can tell you the following :
The good news is that peppers are not toxic to dogs as such, but they will cause the same sensations as in people which can be unpleasant but they are not considered poisonous in any way and any effects should pass in a few hours.
If it they were ingested by accident, feeding some milk or bread may help with the symptoms. However if the symptoms do not pass or you become further concerned you should have a vet check him over just to on the safe side.If I have not covered your question fully enough or you would like to ask more I will be online for the next hour or so and I will be at your disposal.Scott Nimmo BVMS MRCVS

All the good things Los Angeles Angels GM Jerry Dipoto did during the 2012 off-season is erased in a single trade. The Angels have shipped Dan Haren to the Chicago Cubs for Carlos Marmol. Granted, I said earlier today that the Angels needed to bolster their bullpen, but Marmol is not the answer to that problem, especially if Haren is dealt.
This is a huge win for the Chicago Cubs. Not only do they get their inconsistent closer off their books, they acquire a frontline starter in the process. Sure, Haren struggled this season, but he was a 5.5 fWAR pitcher on average since 2007. Marmol, on the other hand, has about as much control as Charlie Sheen would have in Amsterdam; although, he was pretty solid in the second half.
This trade tells me two things about the Angels. First, the Angels are true to their word about going all-in on Zack Greinke. There is no way the Angels make this deal without pushing hard for Greinke. Secondly, the Angels obviously feel the need to cut payroll as quickly as possible… kinda.
I said kinda because Marmol is due to make nearly $10 million dollars in 2013, so why on earth is LA doing this again? Maybe I am just a Haren fanboy, but there is no way Marmol+$4.5M equals Haren's production going forward.
Even if the Cubs have a makeshift offense for 2013, they have a really good starting staff. Worse case scenario for the Cubs is they move Haren for a better package once he proves he's still an elite pitcher.
This is definitely one thing Cub fans should all be happy about.

I'm having some troubles with ettercap.
I'm running BT2 inside VMware server 1.05, and was able to get ettercap up and running with a bit of mucking about. Any websites that used SSL popped up with a confirm box, and if you hit yes it captured the password. In fact it seemed to be working a little too well where everyone in the host list (only one computer was added to the right column target list) was getting popups for certificates, even though the target computer was the only one being recorded. Once I removed everyone from the host list but the target computer it all seemed to work fine. I had a nice little list of certificates being collected.
Today though upon booting up I cant get it to work for the life of me. Every time I turn on ARP poisoning my internet slows to a crawl. If I then go to a site that has an SSL certificate, my internet drops out. I have to shut down ettercap and disconnect and reconnect the target machine to the network. One the one occasion I was able to capture a certificate, it had an X next to it in the profiles tab, but no IP address.
Now, some details:
1) Wireshark still works fine in promiscuous mode
2) Ive edited the comments out in the etter.conf file
3) Thinking that it was having troubles sending files back to the router, I added the virtual machine IP to the DHCP list on the router.
4) I am currently using my host machine (the one running the virtual server) as the target machine as xxx.xxx.xxx.111, and the virtual server as the attacker as 112. Could this be causing problems trying to ARP attack myself from the same machine? It seemed to be working fine yesterday.
So Im out of ideas. Why would turning on ARP poisoning kill my whole internet? Why wouldnt it be recording certificates anymore? What could have changed since yesterday?

2012 Audi A8 Hybrid Revealed With a 4-Cylinder Engine
Audi has just released official details on a new hybrid version of its A8 luxury flagship sedan, powered by a 4-cylinder engine. The 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder (what else?) is mated to an electric motor and makes a total of 245-hp with 345 lb-ft of torque while achieving an average fuel consumption of 36.75-mpg (on the European test cycle). Even more impressive is that the luxury sedan can travel up to 62-mph on the electric motor alone and can cover 1.86-miles at a speed of 37-mph with zero local emissions.
Separately, the 2.0L TFSI produces 211-hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, while the electric motor puts out 54-hp and 155 lb-ft of torque. Combined, this helps power the A8 hybrid to a 0-62 mph time of 7.7 seconds – a reasonable though hardly impressive time. Three driving modes are available to the A8 hybrid driver, an EV mode that gives priority to the electric drive, a "D" mode that efficiently controls both the electric and gas engine and an "S" mode can be combined with the tiptronic gate to provide a sporty driving experience.
On the outside, the hybrid version sports subtle differences than its gas-only counterpart. The 10-spoke wheels are unique and come in an 18-inch sizing as standard, with a 19-inch upgrade available as an option. Hybrid badges adorn the body while Arctic Silver is an exclusive paint finish to the hybrid model. Standard to the model are metallic paint, three-zone automatic air conditioning, LED headlights and a Bose sound system.
No pricing was announced for the A8 hybrid.

To some extent, China is making a virtue of a liability. It is behind the United States, Japan and other countries when it comes to making gas-powered vehicles, but by skipping the current technology, China hopes to get a jump on the next.
Japan is the market leader in hybrids today, which run on both electricity and gasoline, with cars like the Toyota Prius and Honda Insight. The United States has been a laggard in alternative vehicles. G.M.'s plug-in hybrid Chevrolet Volt is scheduled to go on sale next year, and will be assembled in Michigan using rechargeable batteries imported from LG in South Korea.
