This anime seems generic to me. 16 episodes in and my opinion hasn't changed. There is nothing special about this anime that sets it apart from any other and it feels like it's simply following the Shounen formula. The main character is goofy, easy go lucky and stupid. I don't have a problem with goofy/go lucky/stupid but I feel like is a trend in Shounen that's starting to get annoying. Plus goofy/go lucky is ok but if he was capable of critical thinking during a fight where he is underpowered it would make the show more creative and entertaining, not to mention it would make the main character more deep. This anime is mediocre at best and it doesn't need to be more sense its aim at people around the age of 14. If anything is a good watch if you are just trying to kill time and can be used as an appetizer for the good animes.
look people this show is awesome, the story doesn't start off WOW like naruto or deathnote and the monsters don't blow your mind their just bugs in the beginning but just keep watching and youll sort of find it like bleach even better i hope as the show continues, the show strts off freshly normal and easy to understand but mature enough to get u interested. that's not all the main protagonist of the show reminds me of rock lee sorry is ROCK LEE PERIOD, hes silly, funny, energetic, kind, punishes himself after silly reasons. the supporting characters are awesome too. the protagonist starts off like a rookie and trys too climb his way to the top. I don't know what this AERORA guys all about and saying this show sucks and he barley saw a whole episode about it frankly this guy is an idiot hes probably a fan of Fairy tailor something fucken childish. its nothing like tht. once u continue wtching it gets interesting especially around episode 5
Ok I'm 5 minutes in and I can tell... this is horrible. There's not much of a story to it. How do i know? Easy, if there's a scene where a character you haven't even gotten attached to or learned nothing about 5 min. in explains the core structure of the entire anime, instead of the story itself playing out, you know it's going to suck. Not very well written at all.

First State Flag
by Jill Holt, Curator of Textiles
Oklahoma became a state on November 16, 1907. The first state flag was adopted in 1911. It featured a five-point white star edged in blue centered on a field of red. The number 46 was in the center of the star in recognition of Oklahoma being the 46th state admitted to the Union. According to the Chronicles of Oklahoma, the first flag was dubbed the "red rag of sedition" and was viewed in a negative manner following the Russian Revolution of 1917. The flag was also not popular due to the association with red flags hung on homes to indicate quarantines for smallpox and Spanish influenza.
In 1925, the Daughters of the American Revolution sponsored a contest to adopt a new flag. The winning design was created by Louise Fluke and featured an Osage shield on a field of blue. The state's name Oklahoma was added to the flag in 1941.
There are two examples of the original state flag in the collections of the Oklahoma Museum of History. Both flags are made of weighted silk and have suffered degradation from the metallic salts in the silk. The flags have become brittle and frayed. One of the flags had cellophane adhesive tape placed over the frayed areas in a flawed attempt at conservation. This has caused additional damage leaving behind adhesive residue and stains.

Washington (AFP) Nov 30, 2010
It looks and acts like something best left in the hands of Sylvester Stallone's "Rambo," but this latest dream weapon is real -- and the US Army sees it becoming the Taliban's worst nightmare.
The Pentagon has rolled out prototypes of its first-ever programmable "smart" grenade launcher, a shoulder-fired weapon that uses microchipped ammunition to target and kill the enemy, even when the enemy is hidden behind walls or other cover.
After years of development, the XM25 Counter Defilade Target Engagement System, about the size of a regular rifle, has now been deployed to US units on the battlefields of Afghanistan, where the Army expects it to be a "game-changer" in its counterinsurgency operations.
"For well over a week, it's been actively on patrols, and in various combat outposts in areas that are hot," said Lieutenant Colonel Chris Lehner, program manager for the XM25.
The gun's stats are formidable: it fires 25mm air-bursting shells up to 2,300 feet (700 meters), well past the range of most rifles used by today's soldiers, and programs them to explode at a precise distance, allowing troops to neutralize insurgents hiding behind walls, rocks or trenches or inside buildings.
"This is the first time we're putting smart technology into the hands of the individual soldier," Lehner told AFP in a telephone interview.
"It's giving them the edge," he said, in the harsh Afghan landscape where Islamist extremists have vexed US troops using centuries-old techniques of popping up from behind cover to engage.
"You get behind something when someone is shooting at you, and that sort of cover has protected people for thousands of years," Lehner said.
"Now we're taking that away from the enemy forever."
PEO Soldier says studies show the XM25 is 300 percent more effective than current weapons at the squad level.
The revolutionary advance involves an array of sights, sensors and lasers that reads the distance to the target, assesses elements such as air pressure, temperature, and ballistics and then sends that data to the microchip embedded in the XM25 shell before it is launched.
Previous grenade launchers needed to arc their shells over cover and land near the target to be effective.
"It takes out a lot of the variables that soldiers have to contemplate and even guess at," Lehner said.
If, for example, an enemy combatant pops up from behind a wall to fire at US troops and then ducks behind it, an XM25 gunner can aim the laser range finder at the top of the wall, then program the shell to detonate one meter beyond it, showering lethal fragmentation where the insurgent is seeking cover.
Use of the XM25 can slash civilian deaths and damage, the Army argues, because its pinpointed firepower offers far less risk than larger mortars or air strikes.
The result, the Army says, is "very limited collateral damage."
The Pentagon plans to purchase at least 12,500 of the guns -- at a price tag of 25,000 to 30,000 dollars each -- beginning next year, enough for one in each Infantry squad and Special Forces team.
Lehner said the XM25 was special in that it requires comparatively little training, because the high-powered technology does so much of the work.
"This system is turning soldiers with average shooting skills into those with phenomenal shooting skills," he said.

i was just thinking about it and Unending has everyone even Landry (in the field) and since Jack was the main character for 8 years and he has the best relationship with the Asgard why was he not there??
i was just thinking about it and Unending has everyone even Landry (in the field) and since Jack was the main character for 8 years and he has the best relationship with the Asgard why was he not there??
Ohhhhhhhh WHAM BAM THANK YOU MA'AM
yeah, he should have been. especially in the scene where they are saying goodbye to thor . i agree, it would have made sense if jack insisted in going with them and he went instead of landry. then him and sam could have hooked up
Probably RDA didn't want to do another episode. By the time the cancallation had come all his episodes were in or had finished production
Richard Dean-Anderson signed on for five episodes for SG-1's tenth season. He was hoping for this big, recurring role that would give his character some resolution. When he arrived to film them, three were shifted over to Atlantis.
3-6 "The Real World" (Atlantis)
3-10 "The Return, Part 1" (Atlantis)
3-11 "The Return, Part 2" (Atlantis)
10-14 "The Shroud" (SG-1)
When the show was cancelled, all five episodes had already been filmed. The bottom line was that he either wasn't available due to the last-minute finale or they couldn't afford him. I'm going to guess it was the latter.
I don't believe his not returning had anything at all to do with money. He said in an interview that he had more than enough money, so it wasn't something he could be enticed with. The times he returned also didn't have to do with money, for the same reason. He went because he wanted to, and because he "missed" seeing the old gang. Of course, he did get paid for his appearances, but money was certainly not the issue.
He apparently has also said somewhere along the way that he was surprised he wasn't contacted to be in any way involved in the final episode.
Mostly it had to do with issues between Rob Cooper and himself. Coop wanted things his way and if that meant never mentioning RDA/O'Neill, so be it. He didn't care who he offended as long as he got to be in charge.
I guess it was the problem of avalibility/producer conflict. It's a shame when issues prevent the main star of the show from appearing because he should of been in Unending. Not only would that have provided the missing element the episode needed but it could of made it into something more. Granted I liked the episode but it felt like it was trying to end the show with the current characters instead of the people we've come to know and love. The producers should of just said "screw it" to the whole conflict of interest thing and personally beg to RDA for him to come back on SG1 for the last episode; I mean he's RDA, he was an essential part of SG1 right? Right?
Back from the grave.
Considering it was the last episode; yes. Would I have wanted him in it? I honestly don't know. Seasons nine and ten were a major disappointment to me so they probably would have ruined it anyway and the episode itself didn't really do anything for me, so if they'd managed to get him in it I would have been 'forced' to rewatch it since I like his character.
I think the least they could have done was mention his name. As others have said, one would think that Thor might have mentioned his name, given how much Thor and the Asgard thought of Jack.
Or even had Sam say something about how General O'Neill would feel about the loss of Thor and the Asgard.
I don't really see the point of mentioning Jack's feelings for the Asgard. It seems largely unimportant. The Asgard are smart and seemed pretty informed of US politics. Their S9 and S10 interactions with them should of made them aware of his promotion.
Got to say, this never occurred to me as a problem until reading it here. I adjusted to the casting changes during season nine. It would have felt false to me to suddenly insert O'Neill into command of the ship and SG-1 for the final episode.
Absolutely Jack should have been in Unending. There were so many things left unsaid and undone. It leaves a devoted fan with a bad taste for the francise.
No-one should have been in Unending. They'd be much better off without it ever existing.
Banner By JME2
Ohhhhhhhh WHAM BAM THANK YOU MA'AM
At the end it didn't exist. Except for Teal'c's skunk stripe and the end of the Asguard.
I'd have preferred Jack too. But they had already used up RDA's 5 eppy contract - 3 on SGA. They sure weren't going to throw away money to get a guest of RDA's stature on a series ender. Not when they already had someone under contract they could use.
But I'd have preferred no Vala or Mitchell either so either way I wasn't impressed. After 200 I figured I might as well watch the rest of the train wreck.
Mourning Sanctuary.
Thanks for the good times!
Personally, I didn't mind that he wasn't in the finale, given that he pops up in Continuum. Had there not been movies following the finale, then I'd have been upset.
as hedwig said i don't think it had anything to do with money. from interviews i saw i got the impression that RDA would have done the episode for limited pay. but at least he was in contiuum which in my mind is the series finale.
while i liked unending the first time i watched it, i have yet to see it again and i don't plan on watching it again either.

Mashkail, Pakistan (AFP) April 18, 2013
More than 12,000 Pakistanis living in a remote, impoverished southwestern desert region near the Iranian border have been affected by this week's huge earthquake, a relief official said Thursday.
The 7.8-magnitude quake, centred in southeastern Iran on Tuesday was the Islamic republic's most powerful in five decades and killed 41 people -- all but one of them were in Pakistan.
In Pakistan the worst-affected area has been Mashkail, in Baluchistan, where the lack of paved roads, electricity, mobile phone coverage and medical facilities have hampered the rescue effort.
"We have done a rapid survey and found that over 12,000 people have been affected by the quake in Mashkail," said Mehboob Ali, a district coordinator for the Balochistan Rural Support Programme charity.
He said more than 3,200 homes, made mostly of mud, were either damaged or no longer habitable, forcing people to sleep out in the open or in makeshift shelters for a third night.
The military on Thursday continued to fly in medicine and tents, but more supplies are desperately needed, said local official Syed Mureed Shah.
"There's growing impatience among the people affected by the quake as they are not receiving relief goods," Shah said.
Rauf Jamal Dini, an official with Quetta-based charity Sahar, also called urgently for more supplies, saying neither the military nor government authorities had been seen in areas visited by his aid workers.
"People are making complaints. They are in dire need of relief goods. We are conducting a rapid survey to assess the damage," he said.
But military and civilian officials said they were doing what they could.
Sohail Islam, a district health official, said four doctors and 10 paramedics on the ground had treated around 170 injured people since Wednesday.
"Most of the people have fractures and other injuries to limbs, and most are women and children. The seriously injured have been shifted to (provincial capital) Quetta while rest have been sent home," he said.
Captain Shoaib Elahi from the Frontier Corps paramilitary said troops had treated 85 injured people in Mashkail, most of them women and children.
"Now they have moved to their houses. We have only two beds in an FC, mud-built health facility and only have two patients in the facility, a woman and an elderly man, whose beds are in open space," he said.
Baluchistan, which also borders Afghanistan, is plagued by Islamist militancy, attacks on the Shiite Muslim minority and a separatist Baluch insurgency.

SPIFF payouts range from $25 to $200 per deal.
- Lead-Gen Programs: In 2013, Kaspersky Lab is placing a priority on lead generation, allocating significant resources and budget to ensure a strong digital marketing program that generates significant numbers of qualified leads for the Kaspersky Lab sales team to engage with partners on. As this engine ramps up in Q1, the company expects to see more than a 300 percent increase in lead generation over Q1, 2013.
- Video Assets: Kaspersky Lab now offers a number of new assets that help partners to demonstrate the superior protection that Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business offers. Most notably, new videos cover different aspects of the product as well as messaging that helps position the product with customers.

Alan Colmes and Cal Thomas had a humorous exchange about the media's love for Obama on Saturday's "Fox News Watch."
After Thomas asked when the press will come to their senses and admit they were wrong about the messiah-like powers of the former junior Senator from Illinois, Colmes replied, "You keep presuming the media is supporting this guy and they're not" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CAL THOMAS: You know what the press is really reluctant to do, and I think they're going to have to do it at some point? We've said on this show before they were cheerleaders leading up to 2008 election. This was the guy who was going to part the waters. He was going to smooth out the crooked places, do all of these things, cure tooth decay, falling hair, everything else, and now they're realizing he's mortal just like every other president. When are they coming to their senses and say, "You know, we were wrong about this guy?"
ALAN COLMES: You keep presuming the media is supporting this guy and they're not.
THOMAS: Well, they certainly did in 2008.
COLMES: They're not.
THOMAS: Well, then they were wrong.
COLMES: You know what, whenever some liberal gets elected, and he's not even that liberal…
THOMAS: [Laughs]
COLMES: …it's the media that did it. Whenever a conservative does, it's the people have spoken.
So Colmes doesn't only believe the media haven't been supporting Obama, he also thinks the current White House resident isn't that liberal.
Do you need to know anything more about the value of his opinions?

All but the smallest IT departments tend to compartmentalize skill sets. After all, hiring high-quality network, server, and storage admins is hard enough without attempting to recruit candidates who are strong performers across multiple IT tasks. Plus, "siloing" skills works as an organizing principle: It cleanly separates responsibilities among different members of the team and ensures that each portion of data center infrastructure gets its due.
Too bad technology is trending in a completely different direction. Data center technologies are become increasingly converged and virtualized, and as I've pointed out in the past, it's getting harder and harder to survive as a network guy who knows nothing about storage -- or vice versa.
But that's not the only drawback to the siloed approach. Another side effect of siloing is that the infrastructure team invests too little effort in understanding what makes applications tick from a technical perspective.
In most IT organizations, each mission-critical application has its own dedicated administrators. But these application-centric administrators seldom have a deep understanding of the infrastructure running underneath and depend on the infrastructure team for design, implementation, and support. In turn, the infrastructure team, which could generally care less about the application, depends upon the software vendor for guidance on how to deploy the application so that it gets the resources it needs.

Gillon McLachlan is now the most visible man in football, having become the AFL chief executive, but he had a long and fulfilling career at local level in the years before he joined the big time. He was a player at University Blues in the Ammos for a decade. He also served in administration and was made a life member. The Ammos loved his leadership qualities so much that he was the captain of the rep team from 2000 to 2002.
As is now widely known, McLachlan's other sporting proclivity belies his upbringing in a prominent South Australian family on a gazing property out of Adelaide. The Blues coach in the late 1990s, Andrew Smith, whose first coaching job was as an assistant at VFA club Brunswick, was astonished when told his ruckman would miss a match because he was playing polo. Whenever the Blues ventured out to St Bernard's in West Essendon, the gnarled supporters who watched from the old scoreboard would tell him to "go and ride your pony".
On the footy field, McLachlan was skilled and agile despite being 200 centimetres. He was also a good mark. Joe Sturrock, a former back pocket who is now the Blues president, said there was a game against Old Xaverians in the late 1990s in which McLachlan marked almost every Xavs kick-out from full-back. ''It sounds stupid, but he would have taken 30 marks,'' Sturrock said. ''He was easily best on ground. But there were no handball receives, that's for sure. He was a shocking kick but he'd never bloody handball."
McLachlan is often ribbed not so much about his handball, but his inelegant kicking. And every time his riposte is, ''But what about that goal against Marcellin?'' It's one of those goals that gets better with the passing of years. The current version is that McLachlan grabbed the ball from a thicket of players, baulked and weaved and then slotted the ball from the boundary at the University Oval. Bob Girdwood, the Blues president at the time, said, ''The crowd went wild and kept going wild.'' Footage of the goal was played ''a hundred times'' that night in the pavvy, the university's famous football social rooms.
John Kanis, the former Blues player and coach and all-round Ammos identity, said McLachlan's kicking was underrated, especially in terms of kicking for goal. He remembered a match against Old Ivanhoe in which McLachlan booted six in the second half to win the match. ''But I reckon all ruckmen are good shots for goal,'' he said.
Kanis said that while McLachlan was lean, he was strong in a pack. ''He'd hold his weight, put his arms up in the air, and hold them.''
Kanis bears testimony to McLachlan's persuasive abilities. It was McLachlan who turned him around towards coaching before the 2004 season. ''If he wants something he'll keep driving it,'' Kanis said. ''He's very persistent. But he does it with a sense of humour, charm and warmth.''
McLachlan also persuaded a colleague at AFL House, the former Fitzroy champ Mick Conlan, to coach the Blues and he persuaded yet another AFL colleague, Quinton Gleeson, to join the Blues as a player. Gleeson went on to become the Blues captain, leading the team to the A-section premiership in 2004, and this year he's the Blues' coach as they sit on top of the old B-section.
Kanis said McLachlan had a profound impact on turning the Blues around from their nadir in the early '90s: "It's his ability to unify people, engage them and get them along for the ride.''
Girdwood said McLachlan drew on his many contacts, even in his playing days, to get things done. ''He always knew who to talk to.''
Sturrock recalled a time when he went to McLachlan for advice about a potential change in career from finance to sport. The chat began in the pavvy after training on a Thursday night before progressing to an appointment at AFL House. The advice was rudimentary - go with your passion - but the exercise in talking through matters helped him come to a decision to move towards sport.
Being an administrator, even at local level, must have its curly moments. A decade ago there was a push from senior figures at University Blacks, the Blues' brother club, towards unifying the two strands to play as the Melbourne University Football Club. The Blacks honchos thought they might have persuaded McLachlan of the merits of a singular club and were hugely disappointed when he came down on the side of retaining separate Blues and Blacks outfits.
In recent years, McLachlan has had no official capacity with the Blues, but he's helped out when asked with some well-placed phone calls, and he's been a regular fixture at home matches, taking his three daughters with him, and standing with old teammates such as Tom Hutchins and Andrew Wilson. There must be some doubt about whether McLachlan will get to many games this year, but he'll still have the University Blues at heart.
3 minutes to midnight for... Nic Naitanui
Who gets a chance to find some form against GWS today. In his Sunday column Matthew Lloyd says the young ruckman needs to get fit before he can justify the big wraps on him.
Jack Brabham knew all about hero status, but rising motor sport star Matthew Brabham has achieved something his grandfather never did in his illustrious career by winning a race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Brabham, 20, claimed a maiden win in the Indy Lights series at the revamped road course. His three-time F1 world champion grandfather raced on the Indianapolis oval course four times in the Indy 500 but could only manage a best finish of ninth.
... is ban the use of the phrase "an unbelievable performance" as popularised by leading sports commentators. By their estimation, all sporting performances of note are considered "unbelievable performances" . A key forward kicking five goals in a game or a Test batsman making a century has put in "an unbelievable performance" as opposed to it being expected of them as part of their role in the side. It would scarcely be believable if said key forward or the Test batsmen did not put in these unbelievable performances on a regular basis and expected to be kept in the side. - SIMON BOGLI

I'm don't have much fat on my body, I'm very "thick" all over from muscle though. Probably a dumb question but can you transfer muscle to the hips/butt? I don't want to ruin my body by gaining 30 lbs just to have a bbl. I kinda look like the picture below. Also I'm in the Orange County and looking for a doctor who does the bbl the way where it takes over 3 hours(manually transferring instead of using a machine). The manual results are far better and last much longer than the machine results.
BBL? Im Big but All Muscle Not Fat? (photo)
Doctor Answers 5
Muscle Transfer to The Butt
Muscle cannot be transferred in your case to the buttocks. A far better choice would be to have buttocks implants placed if you are unwilling to gain the fat for a Brazilian Butt Lift.
Transfer Muscle or Brazilian Buttlift
Although a muscle can be transferred it involves removing a muscle from one area of the body and transferring it to another while connecting all of the blood supply together. Much more involved and much more expensive with many obvious downsides. If you only have muscle, then you could consider buttock implants. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
Brazilian Butt Lift, candidate
The woman in the picture looks muscular and lean not thick.
Only a portion of the fat present in any area can be harvested and only a fraction of that can be used for injection.
The Brazilian Butt Lift can improve contours and shape but not increase size significantly in lean patients.
Please consult in person with an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon prior to making treatment decisions.

Butt augmentation
Dear Suzannedee,
Thanks for submitting your picture. You have a great muscular and thin body. You are definitly, not a candidate for fat injection - you have no fat ! Moreover, in my experience in the last year, 9 patients who had fat injection to the butt by other doctors, their injected fat disappeared completely or almost completely within a year. It is illogical to believe that such a large amount of fat can survive without circulation. Butt implants are soft, look and feel natural. Most importantly, they do not disappear. Consult with board certified plastic surgeons who are experienced with butt implant surgery. Check their before and after pictures and make sure that you like the results. The implants come in different shapes and sizes, and they can be placed in different anatomical locations.
Best of luck,
Dr Widder

Enough fat to transfer?
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, without being able to examine you, it would be hard to determine if you have enough fat to harvest and transfer. If you did have enough fat to harvest, the next question would be, do you have enough fat to transfer that you would be happy with your results? It would be best if you could consult with an experienced brazilian butt lift surgeon to help you better determine your options and what realistic results you can expect if you decide to move forward with the procedure. A surgeon might recommend that you put on weight first to aide in harvesting more fat. Once again, without examining you, I can't determine what I would recommend. I wish you the best of luck.

AN ANIMAL lover wants to see better protection for abused and abandoned dogs.
Kath Gorick, who runs Abbey Road Grooming, in Abbey Road, Popley, has appealed to Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council to look at ways to hand more powers to dog wardens to allow them to enter people's homes when an animal is in distress.
Her call comes after she had to watch a helpless dog spend days locked in the garden of a local property.
She told The Gazette: "When it is on your doorstep, it's something you just cannot ignore. Knowing I work with dogs, one of the neighbours came to me but really there was nothing I could do.
"It is unacceptable to leave dogs and not look after them properly, and I feel that there are no laws that protect the interest of abused and abandoned dogs.
"The RSPCA cannot be everywhere. I want to see dog wardens given more powers to be able to enter people's homes when a dog is in danger."
Mrs Gorick put her case to the borough council last month. As a result, an overview and scrutiny committee, made up of councillors, will later this year consider what new powers could be granted to dog wardens.
Councillor Elaine Still, Cabinet member for the environment, said she agrees that more should be done to protect dogs. She told The Gazette: "I think local authorities should have more powers, but, of course, our hands are tied at the moment because all we can do is report it to the police.
"The RSPCA do have those powers, along with the police, to take control. But as the council, we are the eyes and ears on the ground and it is only right that we should be able to do something about it.
"I think this problem is on the rise, particularly with the economy the way it is at the moment."

The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma (edition 2010)
by Trenton Lee Stewart, Diana Sudyka (Illustrator)
Work details
The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma by Trenton Lee Stewart
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Definitely my favorite of the series, maybe because it was the one that finally stopped telling us so much about the children's particular quirky personalities and just let then be who they are. As such, it seemed a little (but just a little) like a successor to the Lemony Snicket novels, and that's as much as I can ask from these books.
When an unexplained blackout engulfs Stonetown, Benedict Society members Reynie, Kate, Sticky, and Constance follow clues on an adventure that threatens to separate them from their families, friends, and even one another.
Provides a clever outline of the original Prisoner's Dilemma, along with a twist on its solution / meaning given the four kids. Again the kids have a mission which necessitates they are separated from their elders, but this time Constance also is separated from the other three, leading to a motif in which at various points, they split up. Whether intended as an allegorical exploration of friendship and identity and security, or not, it plays nicely into dynamics typical of the kids' ages. Scenarios involve risk of losing friends, consequences of not supporting one's friends, and how to remain fair while seeking an authentic self.
Again the plot and puzzles emphasise both individual talent and collaboration. Emblematic is that final effort to help rescue Benedict, so in turn he can rescue them: Kate's lasso, Constance's mind reading / messaging, Reynie's plan, Sticky's solution to Curtain's original question "electromagnetic waves". It all seems too tidy written out this way, but on the page it unfolded in a quite satisfying way.
The series is definitely getting better as there is less need to explain the characters and more time given to the actual story.
Was glad to see some resolution but felt this one was not on par with the first two. Still quite enjoyable.

Belmont pool ready to splash June 1
EAST FRANKLIN — Summer is right around the corner and for many that means chilling out by the local pool.
Gary Montebell, director of Belmont Complex, said the outdoor pool — which holds 365,000 gallons — will be ready for opening day on June 1.
"We're all set," he said, noting that the swim team is preparing to start practice for the season and that school groups will be hitting the pool next week.
The Olympic-size swimming pool also features a 150-foot water slide, diving area and children's zero-entrance play area.
Swim activities and the pool's open season will not be affected by the current construction project at the complex, Montebell said.
The wheelchair accessible addition will include an ice skate rental and sharpening shop, a new concession and first aid area and will have two new locker rooms and a family restroom.
The whole front of the building also is being remodeled, said Montebell.
The $2 million project was made possible through grants garnered by state Sen. Don White and from county-matched funds.
And although construction will continue through the pool season (with a completion time estimated to be around mid-September) construction areas will be fenced off to ensure public safety, said Montebell.
"There will still be plenty of space (for swim-related activity)," he said.
Montebell noted that anybody younger than 18 interested in trying out for the swim team should contact the Belmont Complex.
For more information, call 724-548-5455 or visit www.belmontcomplex.net.

Symptoms of anxiety, panic, chronic pain and depression can all be signs of dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system. Motor vehicle accidents, surgery, anaesthesia and assault serve to dysregulate our nervous systems. Responses such as fight, flight and freeze, when incomplete, result in a kindling of the nervous system. Kindling can show up as insomnia, panic and anxiety and tension in the body. Our bodies have the natural capacity to return to regulation, resulting in a healthier experience of life.

Torres offers direct flights to Eleuthera
Guardian Business Editor
Published: Jan 10, 2013
A New Orleans developer in the Family Islands will offer daily service from Florida to Eleuthera shortly after his $30 million labor of love is completed in March.
Sidney Torres IV, owner of the Cove Eleuthera Resort, has set aside a Hawker 800 XP and Falcon 50 as part of a special amenity package for guests. The planes' interior and exterior are now undergoing a refurbishment and should be put into service as of March 15.
Enlisting private aircraft for guests is indeed an innovative move by the hospitality veteran.
While the pristine beauty of the Family Islands is undisputed, driving airlift to these lesser-known destinations has been an ongoing challenge for both the private and public sector.
Torres believes he not only has an innovative solution for Cove Eleuthera, but also for the development of his brand across The Bahamas.
"The flights will leave from Fort Lauderdale and we're going to make it affordable," he told Guardian Business. "We had to do this. I decided to do this because we're also looking to do other resorts in Family Islands. I want to duplicate this model."
Torres had already established the brand Caribbean Boutique Hotels for this purpose.
The daily flights, exclusively for guests at the hotel who purchase the amenity package, leave from the Executive Airport in Fort Lauderdale and land at the White Crown terminal in North Eleuthera.
Guests will travel by limousine to the airport in Fort Lauderdale, fly to the island on the private plane and be transported to the resort in a Range Rover. Hors d'oeuvres and champagne is served upon arrival.
The package costs $1,200 per person, while a night at Cove Eleuthera will range from $195 per night to $7,000 per night for a villa with a private beach and pool.
The announcement comes on the heels of Cove Eleuthera's soft launch on March 1.
Torres said that the property's transformation is nearly complete, with half of the 120 new rooms at the resort coming online at this time. Executives are keen to gain momentum slowly while waiting for extensive furnishings for the remaining rooms, which are all being crafted locally.
Construction has indeed made a noticeable impact on the Eleuthera economy.
The resort employs 150 people and has a monthly payroll of $500,000. When it opens, the payroll will be reduced to around $200,000 per month and up to 120 people should receive employment.
The all-villas resort boasts three restaurants, 24-hour room service, gift shop, organic farm and movie theater.
The developer has even invested in 500 pallets of cashmere Zoysia grass, similar to the feel of a golf-course fairway, providing a "natural carpet" for guests.
Prime Minister Perry Christie and his government has shown a strong interest in the development since its inception. Back in October, Christie visited the Eleuthera project and insisted that it has his government's support.
"He had created something that I would call exotic," he explained.
"It's different and something that my government has committed to support because it's an interesting model that he is putting in place that could work. So we want to make this a success given the investment he is making."
The Cove Eleuthera has been described as having a Far East feel, similar to Bali, while also evoking a Bahamian spirit.

Cornerstone Farm is one of the most beautiful farms in Historic Adams County, Pennsylvania. This gracious home and peaceful setting offer country living at its best. Currently a Gentleman's farm, it is well suited for horses, cattle, farming or just a quieter lifestyle. Located just seven minutes from downtown Gettysburg, Cornerstone Farm is close to the Battlefield and various tourist attractions but just far enough out of town to enjoy horses grazing, country roads, peace and quiet, and a sunset over the South Mountain Range.
The grounds at Cornerstone were used by Confederate troops for encampment after the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg. Bordered by streams on both east and west, this farmland offered troops and cavalry a much needed source of water and safe haven.

During the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863, what is now Cornerstone Farm was a property owned by Isaac M. Bucher. His farm was located along a quiet country lane (now called Crooked Creek Road) that connected Cashtown-Chambersburg Pike and Mummasburg Road. It was an area of peaceful Mennonite farms and a small sawmill, along the Marsh Creek. Historical records indicate that Confederate troops were present on these lands from June 19th through July 6th, 1863. Troops from the leading Hospital Corps of General William Dorsey Pender were present on the property from July 1st to approximately July 10th, 1863. Christian Shank, Bishop of the Mummasburg Mennonite Church, was Bucher's closest neighbor. Shank's home and barn were commandeered by the Confederates for use as a hospital.Records of the Department of the Auditor General, Board of Claims 1862-1890, quote Isaac M.Bucher as asking to be reimbursed for "two horses and cattle taken by the Rebels, July 1-3, from my fields". There are similar recorded claims from all of Bucher's neighbors ( Daniel Shank, John Shank, E.W Stahle, Andrew Heintzelman Sign of the Seven Stars Tavern and others).
Additional interesting information about Crooked Creek Road:
On June 26th, 1863 just a few days prior to the Battle of Gettysburg, men of the newly formed 26th Pennsylvania Emergency Militia Regiment, "a hodge-podge unit of young farm boys, old men, shopkeepers and businessmen" were sleeping behind fences along the Chambersburg Pike near the banks of Marsh Creek. They were under the command of Colonel William W. Jennings, a wealthy factory owner who used his friendship with Pennsylvania Governor Curtin to secure a commission and a command. That morning, scouts from he accompanying 21st PA Cavalry detachment of Captain Robert Bell reported that a large Rebel force was approaching from the west, marching along Chambersburg Pike towards Gettysburg. Eyes straining under crisp newly issued blue forage caps, the 26th Militia saw the vanguard of the legendary Army of Northern Virginia. Knowing they were ill-prepared to meet Virginia's best, Jennings wisely ordered his men to withdraw "across a narrow dirt lane (now Crooked Creek Road) to reach the Mummasburg-Hunterstown Road". They did so to avoid the mighty forces of Colonel Elijah V. White's 35th Virginia Cavalry (know as White's Commanches) who "were coming down the Cashtown-Chambersburg Pike from the Cashtown Pass in South Mountain" headed for Gettysburg.The 26th Militia would live to tell of their role at Gettysburg, "the turning point of the Civil War."

By MORETN JESPERSEN
DENMARK, one of the leading development partners of Nepal, has taken charge of the EU presidency since 1 January 2012. In that context, Danish ambassador to Nepal MORETN JESPERSEN spoke to NEW SPOTLIGHT on various issues, including Denmark-Nepal relations and development cooperation.
How do you see Nepal-Denmark relations at present?
Nepal has been a partner country to Denmark since 1989 where a long-term partnership was established. Denmark seeks to assist Nepal in this important time and our relationship is based on mutual respect, close cooperation and dialogue. Denmark provides bilateral development assistance to Nepal, we have visa- and consular services for Nepali citizens going to Denmark and for the first half of 2012 we continue to be responsible for the local EU Presidency in Nepal on behalf of the EU-delegation and the present EU-missions.
Since Denmark is one of the largest development partners of Nepal, what are the areas Denmark has been providing assistance to Nepal?
The Danish development assistance in Nepal is based on Nepal's own priorities and development strategies. In 2012, Denmark expects to grant app. USD 35 million in development assistance to Nepal through which the objectives of poverty reduction, political stability and economic growth are pursued. The main focus areas in Denmark's engagement are education, renewable energy, human rights and good governance, the peace process, and growth and employment. We also promote partnerships between Nepalese and Danish companies and support culture initiatives in Nepal.
As Nepal has been passing through a crucial phase of constitution writing and peacemaking, how do you observe it?
Denmark welcomes the progress made so far in the peace process on the categorisation of the former Maoist combatants. We trust that all parties will now show commitment to complete the integration and rehabilitation process. We also continue to encourage the Government and the opposition parties to give high priority to issuing a draft of a new Constitution – a Constitution which commits Nepal to democracy and upholding its citizens' fundamental rights and freedoms in line with Nepal's international obligations.
As Nepal is facing a severe power crisis, how do you see the alternative energy program supported by DANIDA?
Despite Nepal's great potential of hydro-power, the country is facing a severe power crisis. The electricity generated so far meets less than 40% of its demand and the electricity networks are mostly located in the major urban areas. Nepal has many remote areas with low density of households and difficult terrain to extend the grid system. Therefore an exploration of renewable, sustainable, alternative energy sources, which can be operated at a decentralized level and affordable to meet the demands of the poor and deprived people, is urgently needed. For more than 20 years, Denmark has supported Government efforts to provide electricity and sustainable, renewable energy solutions to millions of the rural poor. Denmark's current programme aims at improving rural access to renewable energy in the form of improved cooking stoves, solar panels to households and micro-hydro installations in areas where there is no access to the national electric power network.
What will be the focus areas for Denmark during its local EU presidency in Nepal the coming sixth months?
EU's main objective in Nepal is to support Nepal's own, positive development. During the Danish Presidency, the EU-missions will continue to focus its efforts on a range of political- and development-oriented areas: We will continue to encourage progress on issues related to the peace- and constitution drafting process; we will continue to maintain dialogue with the Government, civil society and national human rights institutions on human rights, impunity and transitional justice; and we will continue to contribute to a sustainable social and economic development in Nepal.
There is debate going on recently in Nepal regarding to give blanket amnesty to those involved in heinous crime during the conflict by brining the Truth and Reconciliation Bill and Disappearance Bill. How does EU look at it?
The bills on the Truth and Reconciliation- and Disappearance Commissions are still being discussed in Parliament. Denmark continuously stresses the need for Nepal to live up to fundamental human rights, and the need for the two commissions to meet the standards of international law. Should the bills enable blanket amnesty, it would risk putting Nepal in breach of its obligations under the international human rights treaties it has signed. There is not one model of transitional justice but there are minimum standards. The provisions for broad amnesties for serious crimes will frustrate Nepal's efforts to end impunity and heal the Nepali society.
"Advertisements are made just to win Crity awards"
-- President of Advertisers Association of Nepal – Raj Kumar Bhattarai.
How much has the Crity award expanded Nepal's advertisement market?
When we analyze the number, Crity awards have made a good impact. When the award started, the total advertisement transactions were of NRs 2 billion. Within 7-8 years, the market has doubled and is worth more than 4 billion rupees now. Not only transactions, but the market has expanded as well. The quality of advertisements has gone up and the trend of making advertisements in Nepal is also on the rise. These things must be credited to Crity awards.
The media are growing in quality and quantity, but advertisements have not gone up likewise. How can we manage this?
This is today's main concern. Media have proliferated, but the advertisements have not gone up. I'm concerned there might be an unhealthy competition in the media sector for advertisements. Some newspapers have raised their prices, which lessened their dependency on advertisements. Overall, I'm worried this might create problems in the near future.
You are saying there is a lack of proper rule and regulation, what effects do the government's decisions, which are announced time and again, have on ads?
The government has to think for the long term before making any decision. If the decisions are made to create impacts in the short term, then those regulations certainly have effects. The government decided to remove all hoarding boards, but there was no time limit set in that decision. It would have been better if the government had said hoarding boards should not be placed after six months. The government has to do more research and study before bringing any rule and regulation into effect to make them work.
How will the advertisement market work in the coming days?
As long as there are proper rules and regulations, we have to work with mutual understanding. I'm feeling that the government has not paid proper attention to this field, so proper rules and regulations are needed.
We are expecting to cross the 5 billion rupees mark this year, but load shedding and other issues have increased the problems. The advertisements have been rising by 15-20 percent every year.
"We can introduce pay police for the security of businessmen," Rajendra Khetan, chairman of Khetan Groups and CA member.
There were always talks of political involvement in the cases of kidnapping of businessmen. But now this has been proved. What are your thoughts on that?
In the span of five years, 65 cases of kidnapping have been registered. Among them, many don't have any records, but among the cases whose records are found, we have seen three kinds of kidnapping. First, criminals from Bihar perform kidnapping when they enter Kathmandu after the security around the border is tightened. Secondly, kidnapping is done under political protection due to resentment. Finally, kidnapping is also done by international criminal groups which are running their businesses here in Nepal. But, first and second kind of kidnapping is found mostly in Nepal. Pawan Sanghai's case also falls within these two kinds.
Didn't the criminal activities drastically decrease in the recent times?
Yes, during the time when Ramesh Kharel and Navaraj Silwal were Chiefs of Metropolitan Police Kathmandu, the criminal activities were near zero. But, after the case of Sanghai, we are again scared, though we are relieved now.
What do you think of the role of police in Pawan Sanghai's case ?
Personally I'm very pleased with the work of police in the case. I also used to fall in the group of people who used to doubt the competency of Nepali police, but now I'm very pleased with police's hard work and commitment.
Although there has been reduction in other crimes, have the crimes under the political protection increased?
Earlier, Nepali politics was limited within Congress and CPN-UML. But after the Maoists entered politics, Nepali politics reached another level. Then, after that, regional and religious parties entered politics and it reached even higher level. People need money to do politics. And shortage of money leads to criminal activities.
How much feasible is it in providing personal protection to all the businessmen?
We have to understand the limitations of the government and have to adopt security measures ourselves as well. But, amidst everything, we have to go to pay police system. This will increase the employment and will also have a psychological edge as they are still the police.
"People willing to take the role of executive should accept the position farsightedly"
-- Ashok Rana, CEO of Himalayan Bank Ltd
Everybody is worried about the situation after Poush. What are you expecting after that period?
Poush comes as a big event for every bank and financial intuition as it is the time to register half year's profits. Along with that, huge amount of money goes out of banks as taxes. Liquidity of banks goes down after Poush.
Every bank is worried about their investment in the realty sector. Rastra Bank is also querying bankers about the introduction of asset Management Company.
After a lot of discussion, the government has decided that people wouldn't have to show their income source for up to 10 million in stock transactions. Is this a welcome step for BFIs?
I don't think so. There is a lot of money with people who haven't paid taxes. They are worried as government looks for their income source and the government is thinking people will come out and invest if their sources are not scrutinized. Those who are working legally have to pay taxes up to 35 percent but those who hide their income receive tax waiver. If this is the case then it will affect those who are paying taxes. Who will pay taxes then?
Likewise, even if the loan limit in the realty sector is increased, it will not solve the problem.
Everybody is looking for a decrease in the interest rates. What are your thoughts?
It is difficult to decrease the interest rates straight away. Still, banks are taking deposits at 12 percent. 25 percent banks are new in business; it will take five years for them to settle. Till that time, the interest rates won't go down.
The problem in the Himalayan Bank has surfaced like in other banks, why?
In the recent times, all banks are facing troubles. Lack of organizational disciplines is seen. If people want power, they should take the executive title. Without taking the title, you cannot enjoy the executive power. This is the main reason for all the troubled banks.
In some cases, people take the executive power but don't work accordingly. If people want, they should take the position farsightedly and it will be beneficial for both the company and the person himself.
Israel Embassy Shares Activities
Embassy of Israel in Nepal organized a press meet at 11 January 2012 to share the Embassy's activities of the year 2011. Ambassador of Israel Hanan Goder shared the activities focused mainly on children, education, health, and agriculture sector.
"Last year (year 2011), we focused on activities and programs related to children but it not only focused on one aspect but was a holistic approach where programs such as opening of children learning center, trainings on ECD and Mother and Child Health were organized along with introducing Medical Clowning," said Ambassdor Hanan.
There are lots of activities in pipeline for 2012, stated the Israeli Ambassador.

SANTIAGO – Around the world, private schools are booming, especially in developing countries. The Economist reports that in 2010, there were an estimated one million private schools in the developing world, and the figure has since risen quickly. From Latin America to Africa and South Asia, private schools have been moving into communities – mostly poor – where the state has been slow to provide services.
This trend has proven controversial. The marriage of education and markets attracts three main criticisms. The first focuses on distributive justice: if everything – including education – is for sale, those who have more money will buy more of it. Inequality in knowledge (and therefore income) in one generation will be transmitted to the next, perhaps in amplified form.
This is an important concern, especially given the increasingly skewed income distribution in developed countries. But economists have long understood that the distribution of wealth, as John Stuart Mill put it in his Principles of Political Economy, is "a matter of human institution solely." In other words, market-based production is one thing; distribution is quite another, and it can be influenced by policy.
Vouchers are one example. Pupils receiving a voucher, such as those used in Sweden or Chile, can obtain as much education as the voucher – not their family's income – will allow. There are valid criticisms of such schemes, including, as in Chile, that the vouchers may be too small to purchase a quality education; but, at least in principle, vouchers and other forms of financial aid can make a private education, if desired, accessible to all.
A second criticism is that education markets perform poorly. We know from research in the economics of imperfect information that markets run into trouble when what is bought and sold cannot be observed or measured. Education would seem to be rife with such problems.
Pupils, especially young ones, cannot observe a teacher's pedagogical effort. Parents, especially if short of education themselves, cannot easily evaluate the quality of their children's schooling. So for-profit schools may deliver low teacher effort and insufficient quality.
Much research has gone into measuring how serious these problems are in practice, and therefore whether private schools perform better or worse than public schools. There are abundant examples, in rich and poor countries alike, of fly-by-night for-profit schools that dupe parents and neglect students (Donald Trump's sham Trump University being a case in point). But such research is inconclusive for several reasons, not least that public schools face incentive problems of their own, leading to low effort, absenteeism, and frequent strikes.
Moreover, it is difficult to separate statistically the educational value added by the school from the characteristics of the families whose children attend. If motivated families choose private schools, for example, their kids will perform better, but not for any reason having to do with private schooling.
The third criticism is that education can be degraded by being sold and bought. Harvard's Michael Sandel has argued that there should be limits to markets, and that there are things that money cannot (or should not) be allowed to buy.
We all intuitively know, for example, that hiring someone to act like a friend is not the same as having a friend. Because of the inherent dignity of human beings, modern societies do not allow people to sell themselves, or their children, into slavery. And democracies do not allow citizens to sell their votes, because that would debase elections.
Is education in the same category? Professors (I have long been one) would like to think that we do our job because of our love of learning and teaching, and that our effort and dedication is not something money can easily buy. Critics claim that the commodification of education somehow degrades it.
Parents in poor countries, who have been flocking to private schools, may beg to differ. In Chile today, 53% of all children attend voucher-financed private schools (many of them until recently run for profit), despite the top-up fees they often charge. Parents are willing to make the extra effort simply because the local public schools are not good enough.
Nor is it obvious that education is so different from health care, another essential service where issues of dignity and respect loom large. Private (sometimes for-profit) clinics are common worldwide, yet do not confront the opposition that for-profit schools elicit. Conditional cash transfers are also widely accepted in poor countries, and de facto they involve paying mothers to do such things as send their children to school or take them to clinics to be vaccinated.
A more damning charge is that market incentives change behavior in socially damaging ways. Sandel mentions the much-cited study of Israeli daycare centers where parents, once they faced fines for late pickups, began showing up even later to fetch their kids. The apparent explanation is that parents treated the fines as fees, and did not feel guilty about paying them.
But market incentives may also have the opposite effect, improving motivation or other valuable traits. A 2012 paper examined what happens when students are allowed to choose (presumably better) schools after winning a lottery. It finds that truancy rates go down as soon as students learn about the lottery outcome; and once they move to the new school, their test scores rise significantly.
Contrary to what zealots in either camp claim, neither public nor private schools perform better than the alternative at all times. So it makes sense to consider how to combine the virtues of both systems, instead of simply choosing between them.
In the area of college education, a recent paper by Harvard's David Deming, Claudia Goldin, and Lawrence Katz concludes that in the US "for-profits appear to be at their best with well-defined programs of short duration that prepare students for a specific occupation." In other areas, traditional not-for-profit colleges perform better, with higher completion rates and superior labor-market outcomes.
Finally, despite legitimate concerns about "teaching to the test," there is evidence that properly designed teacher evaluations can improve incentives and performance in public and private schools alike.
More broadly, recent research makes clear that many factors affecting education outcomes have nothing to do with whether schools are public or private. A recent World Bank report calls on countries to leave behind the "great schooling wars" and adopt a "pragmatic approach" to education reform. That seems like an approach worth trying.

Make Alphabet Blocks
This a great way to increase your child's vocabulary and learn beginning sounds all in one activity. Create your own set of alphabet blocks— you can make just a few or all 26! Select pictures that begin with a particular letter or choose a theme for your custom set of blocks.
What You Need:
- 3" x 2" x 3" boxes (any quantity)
- Clip art or pictures from magazines
- Paper
- Glue
- Scissors
What You Do:
- Cut pictures from magazines or cut out clip art pictures. Each box can display one letter and four pictures or two letters and 3 pictures. (If you use old magazines for pictures, complete this step of the activity with your child asking him or her to help identify pictures that begin with the letter(s) you are working with)
- You can either type the corresponding beginning letter for the pictures on your computer and print and cut them, or simply write the letters directly onto the boxes.
- Glue the pictures onto each box. Glue the beginning letter(s) on either side or just the top of the box.
You now have a set of alphabet blocks that your child can enjoy reviewing—and stacking!—time and again. This combines letter and sound recognition with kinesthetic learning, as your child moves and plays while she learns!

Is there a standard library for packaging up a directory's contents to a bytestream, and vice-versa? I suspect .plt is supposed to be a partial answer to this, but it seems like overkill for what I want. If there's nothing out there, I'll just cook something up with pathlist-closure and file/gzip, file/gunzip, but if someone's already done the work, I'd like to reuse.
