Have you qualified for Boston? I want to interview you!
Message me!
Thanks for the welcome, Jeff. However, I had a false start there and should be rebooted to June 5th. Now that I know people are watching, I am going to have to make sure to stay on my game!
That is one of the best benefits of this group - knowing that we are all watching definitely helps to keep you on your game and keep the streak going.
Also, once your streak gets higher, just knowing how much time and effort you ahve put into it will make you think twice about skipping a day and resetting back to zero.
Best of luck
Just knowing I was stringing together five days got me out in the pouring rain this evening!
One day at a time
Good job, Sean! I had the same experience just this morning. It's supposed to rain for the next three days, too.
Welcome to three new members:
Father Russia
We have a really great group of people here, all to help keep us motivated to running every day.
Happy Streaking
PS - Let me know your start date of your streak and I will add you to the chart on the front page.
Another new member today
Welcome to cderuyter!! If you can send me your start date I can get you added to the charts on the main page of the group.
happy Streaking
Welcome Kathy, This streaking has gotten me out the door on many occasions when I didn't want to go for a run and have actually had found I felt great. Don't forget to add the Streak Widget on your Training Log. It is really motivating to see that number getting higher.
Yes, but dont look at the widget until you ahve logged your run for the day, otherwise it reads ZERO. That can be demotivating.
Welcome to a few more members:
Who are both already off to a running start. See, now there's some motivation to keep the streak going. YOu need to not start over just to stay ahead of the new members that keep coming in.
Welcome again and Streak On!!
And thanks to Eric's AWESOME widget I am able to get your streak dates for the chart.
Another new member today
Welcome to cderuyter!! If you can send me your start date I can get you added to the charts on the main page of the group.
happy Streaking
Thanks Jeff,
My start date is 5/26/09
Another new member today. Let's all welcome Liligo to the group. Lili, if you can give me your start date for your streak I will add you to the chart on the main page (or if you track it in RA, just open up your log and I can get it from there).
New welcome to Slomike. Let me know your start date, or open up your log if you log on RA, and I can get you on the charts.
Nice to see lots of new members here lately, as the group grows so does the encouragement to keep going (just think how far down the list you are going to be now if you have to start over)

Castro hits third as Porter continues to tweak lineup
SEATTLE -- With the exception of Jose Altuve hitting leadoff as he's done for all eight games this year, Astros manager Bo Porter continues to tinker with the lineup to try to find the right combination. That meant catcher Jason Castro was hitting third for the first time this season Tuesday against the Mariners.
Chris Carter (four games), Carlos Pena (two games) and J.D. Martinez (one game) have hit also hit third this year as the Astros have used eight different lineups in eight games.
"We're just trying to find the right combination and get guys into slots where they're going to be productive," Porter said.
Castro had never started a game higher than the No. 4 spot prior to Tuesday. The third spot is typically reserved for the team's best hitter, and the Astros are still trying to identify who that might be.
"It's obviously a great spot in the lineup," said Castro, who singled and scored in the first inning Tuesday. "A lot of action is going on. There's typically a lot of guys on base in front of you. Hopefully, getting this opportunity I can capitalize on it. It's somewhere I like to hi. I'll do any job they need me to do, and hopefully I can go out there and show them it was a good idea to have me in the three-hole today."

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
When we are introduced to someone, remembering their name is often difficult. This is because you must successfully store their name in your memory and then successfully recall it later. One previously discussed strategy for storing is to repeat their name when you are being introduced.
Studies have shown that if you are given someone's name at the beginning of a conversation, you are less likely to remember it than if you get their name after a few minutes of chatting. This is because if you already know something about the person, their name is more meaningful to you. Additionally, you have more ways to cross-reference the information in your memory. If you are the introducer, you can take advantage of this by repeating the names of the people you are introducing after they have been talking for a few minutes.
If you are trying to recall someone's name, try remembering as much information about him or her that you can. Think of their profession, where they live, where you met them, what their face looks like, etc. All of this extra information will help cue your memory.

First Amendment Film Festival presents "The Front"
Oct 02, 2012

|Add event to calendar
As part of Banned Books Week (September 30-October 6) the library will be hosting a First Amendment Film Festival. We will show four movies that deal with censorship and violation of First Amendment rights.
Tonight's movie will be "The Front." The film stars Woody Allen as Howard, a cashier and bookie approached by blacklisted television-writer Alfred to act as a "front," i.e., the alleged author of Alfred's works. The scam proves hugely successful. Soon Howard is fronting for several other banned writers, taking a cut from every sale to the networks, and basking in praise (and romantic attentions) for his prolific talent. It all unravels when congressional investigators dig into Howard's past for Communist ties and squeeze him to name others with supposed links to the Red Menace. Written by, directed by, and starring various talents blacklisted during the McCarthy-era witch hunts of the 1950s entertainment industry. Rated PG. (95 min.)

YORK City Knights boss Gary Thornton reckons another impending age change for academy teams at Championships level has plus-points for head coaches – despite the short notice and a "puzzling" inconsistency with the amendment at Super League level.
The Knights' new under-19s squad for 2013 are to have their first official get-together tonight under coach and first-team player James Ford – when they will be told their competition structure is to change to U20s level. It had only moved from U18s to U19s at the end of last season.
Details have yet to be confirmed by Rugby Football League chiefs but The Press understands U20s teams will play at least 12 matches next season and be allowed to field two overage players in each game – possibly more with agreement from their opponents.
The system is a half-way house between the Championships' two junior levels of last season – the U23 reserves, where teams could field up to five overage players, and the U18s.
One reason behind the change is that only six Championships clubs had U23s last season and only eight had U18s, two of whom (Sheffield and Featherstone) played in the corresponding Super League competition. Even fewer were to run such teams next year – the Knights being one of the clubs to withdraw their U23s – due to associated costs. More clubs expressed an interest in playing U20s than U19s and U23s.
Thornton said: "We've got a squad together to compete at U19s, and now it's being changed to U20s.
"There are some pretty young fellas in there – 16 and 17-year-olds – who would have found it tough at U19s, so now it's changing to U20s the balance of the side might change. Some of the younger lads might not get a lot of game time.
"It's a late decision – and typical rugby league for changing things at short notice. But, looking at the reasons behind it, I can see why they've done it."
Among the Knights' first-team squad members who now also qualify for the academy team are Sam Orange, Ed Smith and Tyler Craig.
Thornton said: "From my point of view, if I'm selfish, it's probably better as more of my first-team squad will qualify for U20s, and the ruling that allows us to play two overage players means I can keep them match-fit by giving them regular matches if they're not getting into the first team.
"It helps with first-team preparations and serves a purpose in that respect – 20 is a more reasonable age to test players out for first-team level as very few U19s will push through.
"They're also trying to reach a compromise between U23s and U19s."
Super League, meanwhile, had U18s and U20s teams last year, but will have only U19s next year.
Thornton, the former U20s academy chief at Castleford, added: "It's a bit confusing why they scrap U20s at Super League level, in favour of U19s, and introduce U20s at Championship level. Why is it an acceptable pathway for Championships but not for Super League? It's puzzling.
"It's a mystery to me why they changed it in Super League – it seems like a rushed decision based around saving costs."
Ford will remain as coach of the Knights' U20s, with development officer Jack Stearman as manager and Will Leatt, a youth coach at New Earswick ARLC, also involved.
Mick Cook, the former first-team boss who stood down as a first-team assistant-coach at the end of last season, is also poised to assist Ford.
The Press understands dual-registered players at partnership clubs – in York's case, Hull – will be eligible to play U20s at Championships level.
Thornton added: "We can use Hull players in our U20s if we want to have a look at them before putting them in our first team. If they're too old to play for Hull's U19s, this gives us a chance to have a look at them."
RFL director of performance and coaching Jon Roberts said: "As of November 30, only three teams in the Championships had committed to running an U23 team so the programme has had to be adapted for 2013 and the U20 competition was seen as the best solution.
"There would have been a negative impact on clubs if the U23 competition had been mandated, and the U20 competition meets clubs' objectives
"The structure will be reviewed again in 2013."
• Castleford have signed prop Keith Mason, 30, on a one-year deal following his exit from Huddersfield.

HOUSTON - We all hate standing in long lines at the Texas Department of Public Safety office, but that's all expected to change with two new driver's license Mega Centers.
The two centers opened Friday morning in Spring and in Rosenberg.
An old Super Kmart store in Rosenberg was transformed into the new facility, along with an old Albertson's grocery store in Spring.
The Rosenberg office is 24,000 square feet and will have 30 customer service stations, 51 employees and will be capable of serving more than 1,000 customers a day.
"I walked immediately to the teller that was waiting for me and it took like 5 minutes," Ronnie Beck said.
"It was a surprise for us this morning that it was so efficient, so now we can go and get ready for Santa Claus," Nancy Lewis said.
"I actually came in here and didn't have the proper ID and so I had to go home and come back," Melee Bailey said. "They saved my spot."
The mega center in Spring will have 36 employees, and has the capacity to serve more than 700 customers a day.
You can reserve your spot online even before you set foot in the door.
Instead of taking a number, all you have to do is make a couple of clicks on your desktop or cellphone. After you reserve your spot, you're locked in. You can check your status and adjust your time if you're running late.
Both locations opened at 8 a.m. Friday.
Texas was allotted $63 million to open six facilities across the state.
There are two in the Houston area, two in Dallas, one in Austin and one in San Antonio.

Lessons Learned: Grantee Leslie Chekin shakes up Shakespeare for English Language Learners
Tell us about your plans for your NEA Foundation grant project.
Our NEA Foundation grant project is "Using Shakespeare to Teach Vocal Technique to English Language Learners." While producing an adapted version of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night," students will improve articulation, projection, and delivery. In addition to classroom instruction and rehearsals, students will participate in several voice workshops with Synetic Theatre.Tell us about the students involved in this project.
Most of our students pursue theater while juggling multiple responsibilities such as work, caring for younger siblings, religious duties, and managing a full schedule of courses in English, including International Baccalaureate (IB) classes. The students come from Bolivia, Honduras, El Salvador, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Vietnam, Korea, Pakistan, Iran, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Sudan, and Eritrea— quite the international mix.How do you think your NEA Foundation grant project will help your students?
The program fosters an appreciation for the universality of literature and the arts. While its primary function is to improve students' English proficiency skills, it has a tremendous impact on their self-esteem. All of these elements enhance students' academic success at school and the potential for achievement in the future. For example, Wilson Tosta Buruca, a senior, is succeeding in Advanced Composition and is a veteran tutor in the school's writing center. In addition, a number students in the class are also enrolled (and doing extremely well) in an advanced level IB Language and Literature class.
The project will positively influence our students in the following ways:
- Exposing students to Shakespeare, the performing arts, and local theater
- Building self-confidence through vocal training
- Learning to interact effectively with a group
- Developing self-awareness through character study
- Providing a creative and engaging avenue for learning English
We attended Synetic Theatre's production performance of "Twelfth Night." For many students, this was the first time they had seen live theater, and they transferred their enthusiasm into their own student production.
A rapport and mutual respect developed between the class and our student directors. And when we moved our rehearsals from the confines of the classroom to the stage, students showed a burst of energy and enthusiasm.Featured NEA Foundation grantee Leslie Chekin teaches ESOL at Annandale High School in Annandale, VA. Find more information about how to apply for grant funding and how to support this grant program. The next deadline for application is June 1, 2014.

Just wondering. I don't yet have one, but I am looking to buy one. I really hate printing hundreds of pages of text, when I could quite easily store them on a mobile device and save physical space, money and the environment.
You can just read them on your computer, too. No need to get a separate device.
I know, but it's the tactile feel of the book I am after. It something is small enough and allows you to navigate through. I recently spotted some nifty iPad apps that would be awesome to be using whilst reading a digital book. I think soon will be the stage to jump on the iPad wagon and make life a little easier.
Yeah, I use my galaxy note 2 to read my eBooks but, mostly on my computer.
I use a Galaxy Tab and my computer. It really depends where I am
I seem to have a problem taking things in when read on any electronic device! I much prefer a paper copy; they can also be read in the bath
Oh, I prefer paper too... by far. but unfortunately there is not enough room in my house to have all the books I would like and sometimes it is handy to carry them with you... to read while in the bus and so... and you can't use the tablet PC in the bath too
Having said this, Kindle and other products are more suitable than a Tablet PC. It is hard for the eyes if you read for too long.
But if I can choose, I prefer the paper copy
Most of the people do that, but now technology is advanced people use tablate, it has big screen and easy to read everything.
I am thinking of maybe getting a Kiddle. I already own a couple of eBooks and I have an feeling that it won't let me just upload them. Amazon might lock me into purchasing exactly the same books via Amazon Store.
I always prefer traditional books, with that in mind I don't have a lot of space for all these books. iPad would be the best equivalent, considering you can do so much with it, but I don't think it would be suitable for long reading. Kindle might be my best option.
Yeah, It can be read on Mobile device without wasting money on getting hard copy.
Kindle is probably the best for this job since heck, is made for it.Easy to hold and with no eye hurting.
I do use my mobile phone to read ebooks when I am on way or traveling from one place to another...
Iam the one who do read ebook through the phone because iam keep on travelling as my job is in marketing and all the work is done, by using my smart phone.
I use my iphone to read ebook. It is really amazing.. We can read our favorite pages anywhere. on raod, in traffice area or anytime they are always with us.
It helps alot that u can read any book on your smartphones where-ever you are. It makes you busy and keep informing you about the think which you are crazy for.
Mantano reader on an Asus Transformer.The transformer also doubles as a notetaking tool with its keyboard dock.
I have read books online but I can't say that I liked them. For me nothing equals to the feeling of reading a book held between both hands, and dozing off while reading.
i read ebooks both on my ipad and iphone... but i like it more on ipad cause of bigger screen ^_^
I read most of ebooks on my phone, This is because i keep on traveling.
Yes i do read eBooks on my cellphone but not always because it's not comfortable at all!

Maurice A. Auerbach Inc., Secaucus N.J., in late December moved into a new building.
Adjacent to a New Jersey Turnpike exit 15 miles from its former South Hackensack, N.J., location, the 60,000-square-foot-operation includes 47,000 square feet of refrigeration.
The building doubles the space of Auerbach's former operation and doesn't break the cold chain from truck unloading to reloading, said Paul Auerbach, president.
The plant gives Auerbach eight times as much refrigerated area, he said.
The building includes modern docks that feature automated levelers for improved food safety and efficiencies, modern packaging equipment, different temperature zones and updated food safety processes, Auerbach said.
"We have been planning this for a couple of years," Auerbach said.
"We found a place and it took almost a year to set up. The cold chain is maintained the second the truck hits the dock and when it leaves the dock. As we're moving rapidly towards a lot more Baltimore and Philadelphia business, we are ideally situated for service in this area that serves the whole Northeast."
In other news, Deborah Fernandez, who was a saleswoman for a fruit and nut company, joined Auerbach in sales in the fall.

David Broder doesn't like lies -- but doesn't mind Sarah Palin's
Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
David Broder does not like politicians who lie. I know this because he said so himself, in an infamous 1998 Sally Quinn article about why the Washington Establishment was so angry at Bill Clinton for lying about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky:
"The judgment is harsher in Washington," says The Post's Broder. "We don't like being lied to."
That suggestion -- that Washington, DC's elite residents take greater offense at being lied to than the simpletons outside the nation's capital -- is the kind of thing that would draw heaping piles of scorn from the political media had it come from a liberal Democrat. But it came from David Broder, beloved "dean" of the Washington Press corps, and so nobody said much of anything about his preening moral superiority.
Anyway: David Broder does not like politicians who lie. He does not like being lied to. Lying, according to David Broder, is a Very Bad Thing. So bad that David Broder suggested Clinton should resign because "he may well have lied to a federal grand jury." May well have -- the mere possibility that Clinton had lied about sex was enough for David Broder, who very much does not like lying politicians, to call for resignation.
Since I know how much David Broder hates politicians who lie, it was a little odd when he refused to call for President Bush's resignation, though Bush lied about matters far more grave than Monica Lewinsky, and though Broder denounced Bush as a "lawless and reckless" president who "started a war he cannot finish, drove the government into debt and repeatedly defied the Constitution." I mean, if the possibility that Clinton had lied about sex was enough to necessitate his resignation, surely the certainty that Bush had lied, coupled with his "lawless and reckless" defiance of the Constitution should require nothing less?
I mean, it simply can't be that David Broder holds Democrats to a higher standard than Republicans, or that he thinks lying only counts as lying when it's about sex. Can it? No: That does not sound like the esteemed "dean." It can't be. Must be a fluke.
So, this morning I read Broder's celebration of Sarah Palin's virtues. Now, Sarah Palin, as you might remember, has built her entire national reputation on lies. From the moment John McCain plucked her out of obscurity in the summer of 2008 until the time she finishes her next sentence, she will have said little of any real significance that was true. Her repeated "bridge to nowhere" boast -- a remarkably enthusiastic and frequent lie. That bit about selling a state jet on e-Bay? Bunk. Her claim that Alaska produces 20 percent of America's energy? A lie in 2008, and still a lie today. "Death panels"? The lie of the year. You get the point: Sarah Palin tells lies.
But, oddly -- because, remember, he does not like being lied to -- David Broder didn't mention Palin's history of untruths in his column today. Well, I thought, Broder must have thought he had covered that ground often enough in the past that it could go unmentioned today. So I fired up the way-back machine and read all 23 Washington Post columns in which David Broder has mentioned Sarah Palin, certain that I would find numerous harsh denunciations of a politician who displays an open hostility towards the truth.
In doing so, I found Broder gushing over Palin's "deft humor and pointed questions" and wondering "Why in the world has the McCain campaign kept Palin under wraps" and praising her as "cool as a cucumber, comfortable with her talking points and unrattled by anything that was thrown at her." But that wasn't so shocking -- Broder did, after all, note in today's column that her tea party speech last weekend "was not the first time that Palin has impressed me."
But this part ... Well, this was a little surprising: Not once -- not one time -- in those 23 columns has Broder so much as hinted at Palin's dishonesty. Not even in a casual, polite "that wasn't quite true" kind of way.
Well, you could knock me over with a feather. I mean, David Broder can't stand being lied to. He told us himself. You remember: Back when he was talking about a Democrat, and the lies were about sex rather than everything else.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/1/2013 (1685 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Oh, those CFS employees and their rules. They love them. They call them "best practice." They swear they follow them zealously unless they're really, really overworked, or devolution is making a hash of their files, or they forget they're not supposed to take their notes home and destroy them. That sometimes happens, but that is not best practice.
The inquiry into the circumstances surrounding Phoenix Sinclair's life and death heard about one such diligent CFS employee on Thursday. She was working the phones at the Winnipeg CFS after-hours unit on March 5, 2005, when a woman called with information that five-year-old Phoenix might be in danger.
The caller, who cannot be identified under a publication ban, is also a CFS employee and a licensed foster mother. She was calling at the request of her adult foster daughter, a friend of Samantha Kematch. The foster daughter told her she was afraid Phoenix was being locked in a bedroom and left alone, and that she'd heard what sounded like whimpering. She was afraid the child might be sexually abused.
The foster daughter wanted her to make the call because she thought they'd listen to the older woman. She didn't know CFS had rules about that, too. The foster mother called immediately. It was the only time the girl had asked her to do anything like that, she said, and "I trusted her judgment on it completely." But the after-hours worker didn't want to hear it.
"I started to tell the woman on the phone the concerns that had been related to me. I was told, 'I can't accept this information because it is third-hand,' " she testified.
The caller wasn't backing down. "I got pretty angry with her. I told her she would have to accept the information from me because it was valid and important information."
When the after-hours worker said she needed an accurate address for Kematch, the foster mom snapped.
You should have a file on her "a mile long or a metre deep," she said.
They did, of course.
She had one parting comment for the telephone operator. "I told her if anything happened to that child, I would hold her personally responsible."
The foster daughter was afraid of Kematch. She testified she was with another friend of Kematch's when that young woman called CFS and related their concerns. She claimed she told her own long-term social worker, Della Fines, about her worries.
Fines threw her under the bus when she testified Thursday. She said the young woman never discussed Samantha Kematch or Phoenix with her. She characterized the young woman as someone who pointed fingers at other people to deflect blame.
"She would express to me she was a good mom and other people around her were doing a worse job than her," Fines said. "She didn't want to deal with the fact that there were issues in her home. She wanted to deflect, to move the conversation away from her.
"She wanted me to know attention should go to other people in the community."
No specifics, just general, ongoing whining, Fines seemed to say, and all of it intended to get the heat off her. The problem is that even a broken clock is right twice a day and the young woman was dead right about the danger posed by Kematch and McKay.
The young woman testified she was worried because Phoenix was spending a lot of time with McKay, having toilet accidents and touching herself inappropriately. She said she shared her concerns with Fines. The social worker didn't remember any of this.
"I believe that this information never came to me as a social worker. I believe that she never gave me this information or reported concerns to me."
Because if she had, Fines would have followed up on those concerns. CFS has rules about that, too.
All this took place as the storm clouds of devolution gathered. Fines was seconded to an aboriginal agency. She remembers 2005 as "a very stressful time, the emotion surrounding the devolution and what was happening with us and our careers."
Still, if she'd been told about Phoenix, she would have written it down and reported it. She assured the inquiry that even under emotional stress, "I believe I continued to meet the standards."
God knows even as warning bells were clanging, as they did for all Phoenix's short life, those paid to keep her safe claim they were observing best practice.

This year's annual Dare to Dream Awards Gala (our 17th!) was an action-packed night to remember as we honored 29 young people as our Global Young Entrepreneurs of the Year, sponsored by The Goldman Sachs Foundation, and 25 educators as our Teachers of the Year, as well as several prominent members of the business community: BlueMountain Capital Management LLC, Eddie C. Brown and Diana Taylor.
The energy in the room as high as nearly 1,000 people gathered to support NFTE, helping us to raise more than $1.2 million to fund our programs around the world. Mary Calvi, CBS 2's Weekend News Anchor, served as MC in tandem with hosts Adrena Prioleau-Womack and Brian Sessions, a student and teacher pair from our Baltimore program.
Several of our alumni were singled out with special awards throughout the evening:
Samson Tan, from the Bronx, New York, won the OppenheimerFunds Award for Social Entrepreneurship for his nonprofit organization, Knight Lacrosse, which introduces the sport to low-income kids in the Bronx.
Dana Laurie, from Bayside, Queens, was honored with the Daniel Treanor Memorial Award, which honors students who have succeeded while faced with health or physical challenges. Dana launched Purus Cosmetics several years ago and continued to operate her business while battling pituitary cancer.
Catherine E.H. Shows from Summerville, South Carolina was awarded our first ever Green Business Award for her company, Carolina Style Fashion Accessories, which recycles materials from Goodwill stores into beautiful accessories.
You can read about these three remarkable young people, as well as the rest of the students and teachers who were honored, on our website.
A big thank you to everyone who came out to support us this year! Your generosity is helping thousands of young people unlock their entrepreneurial creativity and reach their potential!

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo baseball team has been ranked 28th in the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper Division II Pre-Season Poll, it was announced during the holiday break. The squad, who finished the 2013 season with their best record since 2001, is set to begin the 2014 season on the first of February.
Head coach Sean O'Connor has named 23 newcomers to the roster this season and the outlook is bright for the green and gold. In addition, key returners will carry the team through the tough Sunshine State Conference schedule.
The only other SSC team to receive a pre-season ranking is No. 1-ranked University of Tampa, who took home the NCAA D2 National Championship last year. Saint Leo earned one of Tampa's twelve losses last season during SSC play.
The Lions' squad will begin the 2014 season on Saturday, Feb. 1 when they travel to the University of North Georgia to take on the Nighthawks. The first pitch of the single game will be thrown out at 6:00 p.m.

While no one knows with certainty where Edward Snowden is heading after leaving Hong Kong on Sunday, Ecuador appears to be his most likely destination – a small country on the equator, as its name tells us, with fiery Rafael Correa as its outsize president. However, Correa is not the only larger-than-life politician that Ecuador has produced for the world. Indeed, for much of its history, Ecuador seems to have drawn its political inspiration from the gigantic volcano Chimborazo depicted on its coat of arms. Furthermore, like many of the titans who have dominated Ecuadorean politics, Correa has brought a rare stretch of political continuity to his country, although, as critics might argue of him but certainly his forebears, it has been at a cost.

Serena Williams still wearing a bikini
Tennis star Serena Williams went surfing yesterday in Hawaii with her rapper boyfriend Common. Whoa, wait. I understand she's built for strength not beauty, but she's dating Common? Jesus, I wonder how often they have this conversation:
COMMON: Baby, I did it again – with a grizzly bear. I really, really thought it was you this time. Honest. I'm so sorry.
COMMON: Damn! Gimme that sugar.
COMMON: I'm gonna make this right, girl.
SERENA: *enters room* Common?
COMMON: Go away, bear! I'm trying to love my woman.

(Reuters) - The Los Angeles Lakers responded to the axing of coach Mike Brown by belting the Golden State Warriors 101-77 at the Staples Center on Friday for their second win of the season.
After a close first quarter, the Lakers went on a tear with Kobe Bryant scoring 27 points, much to the delight of the home crowd.
Having fired Brown earlier in the day after starting the season 1-4 and losing all eight pre-season exhibition games, the Lakers displayed new vigor and style under interim coach Bernie Bickerstaff.
The home fans, however, made no secret of who they wanted to fill the vacant position, chanting "We want Phil" throughout the night in reference to former coach Phil Jackson who helped the Lakers to five of their 16 championships.
Bryant claimed the side still used a little of the "Princeton" style offence Brown was trying to implement in the side before his dismissal but admitted instinctual play was the real help.
"We just had to focus on our execution. It was about coming out and playing hard," Bryant told reporters.
"We really just went out there and played almost like a pick up game.
"We opened up the floor and when we had the opportunity we actually ran some of the Princeton stuff in terms of flair picks and back picks and things of that nature but we really just tried to read each other and react."
Pau Gasol stepped up for the home side in support of Bryant's scoring efforts, pulling in 16 rebounds and scoring 14 while bench man Jordan Hill contributed 14 points also.
"Pau was fantastic," Bryant said.
"He played with the type of intensity we're accustomed to seeing from Pau. The important thing is he needs to keep up that intensity.
"He's so talented he can come out and coast to a 20 points and rebound game but we need this intensity."
The Warriors dropped to 3-3 with the loss.

It's not quite hot chocolate season yet, but with this rainy weather we've been having I'm ready to get a kick start on this cold season favorite. La Maison du Chocolat offers their supremely rich and bold hot chocolate drink in stores, but what's the secret to replicating it at home?
This: the Tasse de Chocolat ($18)—a gold-lined tube of little chocolate pearls, dark chocolate, of course. It's enough to make precisely four decadent cups—melt into a blend of hot milk and cream for a richer, vibrant concoction, or substitute the cream for water to create a more pure and intense hot chocolate.
These pearls are pretty versatile, too: increase the ratio of chocolate to cream and simmer the mixture over the stove for a few extra minutes. The result? A very velvety and deep chocolate sauce. Bring on the vanilla ice cream!

Allah reveals in the Qur'an that people's earthly desires contain two distinct elements. One of these is the "conscience," which commands what is good and prohibits what is evil; the other is fujoor, which commands what is evil. The word fujoor means engaging in sin and rebellion: telling lies, turning one's back on what is right, disobeying just laws, moral collapse and that which is an affront to godliness. In other words, the concept referred to here as fujoor includes all the negative features of the human ego. In the Qur'an, Allah reveals that He has inspired both fujoor and conscience, which impels human beings to avoid the former:
And [I swear by] the self and what proportioned it and inspired it with fujoor [depravity] or taqwa [sense of duty], he who purifies it has succeeded, he who covers it up has failed. (Surat ash-Shams, 7-10)
The second important feature of immoral desires drawn attention to in the Qur'an is "passion" and "greed." Someone who contents himself with the life of this world and fails to consider the Hereafter is devoted to all he possesses with "passion" and "greed." He or she starts to live as if death and the Afterlife were far away. In fact, in societies which live far removed from the moral values of the Qur'an, peoples' passions are praised and honored. The more people are attached to the life of this world and the more efforts they make to attain its benefits, the more they are esteemed by others who share the same twisted mindset. Yet this is a grave error. Of course, a person must strive to have a pleasant life and must always seek to do his or her best. Yet that determination and will must be directed at the kind of life approved of by Allah. Otherwise it would be a terrible mistake, in forgetting our Lord, Who gives them all they possess, for people to be caught up in worldly desires and to live a life far removed from the moral values of the Qur'an.
Attention is drawn to unbelievers' passionate attachment to the things of this world in the verse, "And you have an insatiable love of wealth" (Surat al-Fajr, 20). In another verse, "The enjoyment of this world is very brief. The Hereafter is better for those who guard against evil" (Surat an-Nisa', 77), Allah reminds us that the blessings people are so passionately fond of are the enjoyment of the life of this world. The word "enjoyment" in this context means worthless things, ultimately condemned to vanish. The blessings of this world which people so greedily desire are false and worthless compared to those of the Hereafter.

The man accused of killing Sarah Cafferkey has appeared briefly in court today.
Steven James Hunter, 47, appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates Court at 10.27am charged with murdering Ms Cafferkey on November 10 at Bacchus Marsh.
He was arrested in Hawthorn East yesterday afternoon before appearing in an out-of-sessions hearing last night where police alleged he had made admissions to the murder.
Police claimed Hunter had stabbed Ms Cafferkey multiple times at a flat in Simpson Street, Bacchus Marsh.
He then allegedly moved her body to a house in Fongeo Drive, Point Cook, the next day. Her body was found by police on Saturday, dumped in a wheelie bin.
Prosecutor Luke Exell told the court today the police brief of evidence against Hunter would be sent to his lawyers by February 13 next year.
There was no application for bail.
Magistrate Donna Bakos remanded the tattooed Hunter, whose hair was dyed blond, to appear for a committal mention on March 27.
Hunter's arrest came 10 days after Sarah, 22, was last seen.
Sarah was reported missing by her distraught mother on November 12, three days after she had been at their Bacchus Marsh family home.
Hunter was arrested by heavily armed special operations group police at about 12.30pm yesterday.
He had been staying with an associate in a second-storey flat in Caroline Street.
Since his arrest, police have warned people against posting hateful comments on social media sites, as they may affect court proceedings.

Ouch. They just showed the 2002 New Year's Eve game in Raleigh, which dredged up all sorts of bad memories for me … spending all those New Year's Eves on the road. That one was particularly terrible. I remember the game was bad (the Rangers won, but good God were they bad). I remember the clown at the hotel bar wanted to close before midnight. There was another New Year's Eve in Denver where these rednecks were firing guns in the street. There was one in Edmonton when it was 14-below.
For that 2002 game , it had already been determined that I was leaving the beat. I was down to my last few games at that point, and with a lot of mixed emotions.
That Rangers decade in review they just showed on MSG was pretty good, but it shows you how bad the decade has really been … that those were the top 10 moments. Yeesh.
Thought I'd give you another clean slate here because the other one was already getting crowded and we expect some heavy traffic tonight. Even Jerkins Perkins is back!

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind. Observing, experimenting, and analyzing human and other minds is our focus. How we do this varies greatly. We can, of course, look at the brain itself to understand the mind and we increasingly do so, as new technologies allow. But the measure of behavior is our primary method to understand the mind.
These are just some of the many questions psychologists attempt to answer, and which psychology undergraduate students consider in our many courses and research opportunities:
• How do we perceive the physical world?
• Is our view of it consistent with reality?
• How do we make sense of the social world?
• Can we really understand the minds of others?
• Do the groups others belong to matter?
• How do memories form and how do we forget?
• Can we be said to have a memory even if we can't "remember"?
• What are the rules by which we reason and think?
• Are we rational beings or only boundedly so?
• How much of our behavior is influenced by conscious mental processes and how can we study our own consciousness?
• What's the role of emotion as expressed in the joy, surprise, sadness, anger and fear of everyday life as well as in depression, schizophrenia, and other disorders?
• What are the causes of these kinds of disorders, and how can they be treated?
• How do all these processes develop from infancy to adulthood, including the ability for language?
To answer these and other questions about the mind, psychologists pay attention to evolutionary factors, the biological bases of behavior, cultural and social inputs, as well as the day to-day situations in which individuals find themselves. Most of the research conducted in Harvard's Department of Psychology concerns basic psychological processes such as attention, perception, memory, categorization, reasoning, decision-making, language, cognitive and social development, social cognition, intergroup relations, and morality. In addition, some members of the department conduct research on the etiology, development, and treatment of psychopathology. All members of the department share the common goal of understanding mind, brain, and behavior through empirical investigation, and our teaching and research reflect this goal.

why does it say at his ocuppation: hokage???—This unsigned comment was made by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs) .
- should we add unnamed dojutsu to the list, and also to danzo's? 126.96.36.199 (talk) 12:18, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
Shisui and the 4th Mizukage?
On page 15 of chapter 459, Ao strongly implies that, at some point, Shisui used his eye technique to manipulate the 4th Mizukage, which was discovered by Ao.
Maybe it's not a certain enough accusation to be put in the article, but I think it bears mention. --220.127.116.11 (talk) 14:29, 10 August 2009 (UTC)Oser
- You misinterpreted what he said. Ao only stated he saw through the jutsu that was controlling the Mizukage, making him an unofficial expert when it comes to recognizing when someone is being controlled. ~SnapperTo 19:06, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
- The Mizukage makes reference to a possible connection between Shisui's eye technique and the one used to control the Mizukage in chapter 461, page 11. I think it merits mention. Bvdan (talk) 07:42, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
Can someone who is less inept with Japanese confirm this? The lone translation I could find doesn't go so far as to say he really did commit suicide, and Itachi is pretty blunt about the fact that he killed Shisui. ~SnapperTo 03:25, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
I think that Itachi did kill him. Cooltamerboy (talk) 03:43, 15 August 2009 (UTC).
- I think Snapper is waiting for a direct translation, and not a guess.....--AlienGamer--Talk-- 03:45, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
I thought Itachi confessed that he killed Shisui. That's how he got his Mangekyo Sharingan. Why does it say Shisui committed suicide? Yatanogarasu 20:56, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
- The reference that editor gave has this to say about Shisui's death:
- -The mystery of Shisui Uchiha's death-
- The reference that editor gave has this to say about Shisui's death:
- Shisui's suicide happened around the time of Itachi's disaster. The death of he who was observing Itachi brought even more discord between Itachi and the clan.
- Although it appears to state that Shisui committed suicide, the fact that it is titled "The mystery of Shisui Uchiha's death" already shows that there is more going on. The second databook doesn't make any clear statement on Shisui's death. All we have to go on are Itachi's words that he did kill Shisui. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 12:24, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
Can someone show me the chapter page where Itachi "confessed" that he killed him? Cause I've never seen that, and it looks to me like some assumption made by someone. Like I said before, the manga presented the possibility of murder or suicide, and the databook confirms the suicide. [1]
I really don't know what else people want in regards to "proof" when it says he took his own life. The "mystery" is that we don't entirely know what circumstance caused him to do this as we for example know what caused White fang to kill himself, but the fact of the matter is Itachi didn't kill him. Wreiad (talk) 17:01, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
- I remember Itachi confessing it in the anime....Not sure of the epi, but well, its during Naruto's fight with Sasuka at the valley of ends...when sasuke goes down memory lane...--AlienGamer--Talk-- 17:25, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
- Chapter 225:
- Sasuke: Kill my closest friend...?!
- Itachi: Just as I did...
- [reminders about Shisui]
- Sasuke: You killed Shisui?!
- Itachi: And now I have the eyes.
- He's at the very least taking responsibility for it. You can argue, of course, that this is only another one of his lies. ~SnapperTo 18:26, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
I've read: "...Um... Brother... Brother Did you kill Shisui-san!?" "Thanks to him, I was able to obtain this "eye"."
That doesn't sound like much of a confession or taking responsibility to me, and could easily mean that he got the eye from witnessing his death as Sasuke did. As for people using that as "proof" that he killed him, he said in chapter 222 page 18 that he didn't, so that's not good enough. Wreiad (talk) 19:16, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
- Maybe those two sentences translated like that don't, but look at the whole conversation:
- "You too are a person who can obtain the Mangekyō Sharingan, the same as me" (「お前も オレと同じ万華鏡写輪眼を開眼しうる者だ」, "Omae mo ore to onaji Mangekyō Sharingan o kaigan shi uru mono da")
- .........
- "However, there is a condition" (「ただしそれには条件がある」, "Tadashi sore niwa jōken ga aru")
- "That is killing... your closest friend" (「最も親しい友を...殺すことだ」, "Mottomo shitashii tomo o... korosu koto da")
- ......!
- (Thinking) "Killing your closest friend...!?" (「最も親しい友を殺すこと...!?」, "Mottomo shitashii tomo o korosu koto...!?")
- "Just like I did..." (「このオレの様にな...」, "Kono ore to yō ni na...")
- [insert flashback to Itachi's questioning by the three Uchiha cops here]
- "...That... Did Nii-san..." (「...あれ...兄さんが...」, "...Are...Nii-san ga...")
- "Did Nii-san kill Shisui-san!?" (「兄さんがシスイさんを殺したのかよォ!?」, "Nii-san ga Shisui-san o koroshita no ka yoo!?")
- "Thanks to that, I obtained these 'eyes' " (「そのお陰でこの"眼"を手に入れた」, "Sono okage de kono 'me' o te ni ireta")
- The bold lines are Itachi's. This conversation comes from chapter 244, page 19 and chapter 245, pages 2 and 3. It is quite clear that Itachi at least claims he killed Shisui. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 20:54, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
- Maybe those two sentences translated like that don't, but look at the whole conversation:
...Body Flicker Technique?
Does this really need to be listed under his jutsu? Most ninja can do it, and on top of that, have we seen him using it?--Hasofcd (talk) 20:41, September 24, 2009 (UTC)
- "Actually when a generic jutsu is used by a character much like a signature technique we do list it": Dantman's edit summary when he added it. Even though we didn't see him using it, he was famous beacuse of the speed of this jutsu...--AlienGamer--Talk (contribs)-- 20:49, September 24, 2009 (UTC)
Ya kinda like me I let my mind wander, and my signat ure technique is transformation, make my arm a sword, put a hole through my torso for dodging kunai, both my signature transformations.
It said Itachi thought of him as a BIG brother. So if we new what age Itachi was say 16 we could say he was +16

River's Location
Is this the same river where Sasuke was seen practicing his Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu in Episode 130? It's the only river I've seen that's close to the Uchiha Clan. So, could it be where Shisui was drowned? -- Fmakck - Talk - Contributions 01:59, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

Anime Image
Has the anime always been this bad? Shisui's eyes are supposed to be much rounder and the lines around his eyes should be whole. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 00:30, March 4, 2011 (UTC) Also, he looks like he's pouting...

[2] Shisui's eyes are now drawn different, could we possibly discuss if this chance is enough to only show the anime image??? --Gojita (talk) 14:14, August 3, 2011 (UTC)Gojita

I realize the anime messed it up,but could we atleast have the image in the apperence section?the black and white page is abit unsettling considering how old a character he is.. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 15:35, August 3, 2011 (UTC)
- But the anime image is greyscale except for his eyes. There's no real difference in colour.--Cerez365™ 15:45, August 3, 2011 (UTC)
- Why are we still using the two different images for Shisui? In his first Manga appearance in comparison to his anime appearance was because his eyes weren't completely encircled by a black mark. Yet in his second Manga appearance we can clearly see his eyes aren't completely encircled. This is clearly not a defining trait of Shisui's appearance nor should something this minor be a reason for two identical images.
- While I can understand a second image for pages like Hanzo where they miss an obvious difference in Hanzo's eyes or Konan/Yahiko where they use the incorrect colour for their eyes having one for pages for when Kishimoto does slight differences in his drawing style shouldn't warrant one.
- For that matter this can transfer over to over pages such as the Fourth Raikage, Onoki, Mei, E T C ... to where there is no difference between the two images other then who drew them. For a case like that the coloured one drew by Kishimoto has superiority. Quality of images should be defined by obvious common sense levels when displaying the Infobox image.
- Coloured Manga Images by Kishimoto
- Uncoloured Manga Image (Anime fails to capture an obvious descriptive point)
- Anime Image
- Manga Image (Identical to Anime Image but lacks colour)
- There are a whole list of characters after the Invasion of Pain arc because Kishimoto started to colour the characters more in the opening pages. Cutting things down to one image in the infobox should be a necessity with the page contain the image based off the list I showed above. --¥ Super Novice ↔ Talk 2 Me ¥ 19:01, August 5, 2011 (UTC)

itachi said he implanted the eye in the crow so the real not an illusion created by his genjutsu also temari use a sneezle or what animal it was to defeat flute girl so crow real and it has the mangekyou sharingan and its little body cant be doing that over and over again again shisui was the owner of the jutsu so he can use it anytime he wants along he had chakra the crow physical not imaginary thats why it come out naruto mouth and use its mangekyou sharingan on sasuke but that plan failed —This unsigned comment was made by 18.104.22.168 (talk • contribs) .

Danzo stole his eye?
Where in the manga did it say that? Itachi said that "Danzo had already taken one eye". That doesn't mean he was necessarily stolen. Shisui could have gave him the eye.

Why revive him?
My first post on here. Not trying to make this a forum but why would anyone want to revive him?

Protect Konoha?
It says that Shisui's Mangekyou was programmed to "protect Konoha" and that he told Itachi to protect Konoha. Does this mean that Shisui knew about Itachi's secret mission to eradicate the Uchiha clan in order to "protect Konoha?" Sparxs77 (talk) 19:24, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

There are two conflicting statements in the Background section. At the second paragraph it says he was found drowned in the Naka River with the suicide note.

Shisui part of the Anbu Root ?
In the manga seems that it was implied that Shisui was a member of Root
- Now, look at the tanto strapped to the back of Torune's right shoulder.
- Look at the tanto strapped to the back of Fuu's right shoulder.
- Look at the tanto strapped to the back of Sai's right shoulder.
ANBU Root is distinguished from ANBU Black Ops by the weapons they carry. "Normal" ANBU carry Katana (see also Itachi in the night of the massacre), and ANBU Root carry tip-less Tanto. Could we add this info about the probablity of Sishui as part of the Danzou's Root in the trivia section?.--JK88 (talk) 20:36, September 9, 2011 (UTC)
Having a tanto doesn't mean he was apart of Root, or even the regular ANBU. If I remember correctly, Root members were mostly orphans that Danzo trained form a young age. Also, there is nothing that says a regular shinobi can't carry a tanto. In my opinion there not enough evidence to say he is a Root member.--Deva 27 20:43, September 9, 2011 (UTC)

Itachi told Naruto that he couln't use KA when he fought with Sasuke, thus it was on cooldown then. The cooldown was said to be 10 years, yet:
- This indicates that Shisui has used it during the Massacre, but we are told that he only wanted to use it but not happened ... if he did, on whom was that ?
- Itachi was 13 back then and fought Sasuke as 21 years old ... that's 8-9 years at max as we don't know months, unless the current 4th Shinobi World War happens already over a year as he could use it on himself, he shouldn't have had been capable of doing so as it wasn't 10 years ... unless Shisui has used it some time before the Massace with the other eye Danzo took.

- A plothole exists when you have a full story but something doesn't add up. Not when you have parts of a story and your assumptions don't add up and here Kishimoto has more than enough room to be able to explain himself on this matter in the future if he chooses to. You can't take two words out of an entire convo and then base everything off it. If we had actually seen Shisui's efforts to cast Kotoamatsukami, then we could draw more accurate conclusions. I don't understand why people make such a big deal out of minuscule stuff like this for.--Cerez365™(talk) 16:58, June 20, 2012 (UTC)
Shisui wanted to use KA on Uchiha to prevent them taking over the village and start a war, but he didn't. Itachi was given his eye (it doesn't matter if with KA on cooldown or not) and he later said to Naruto that he couldn't use it on Sasuke during their fight ... so either Kishi made a mistake or Itachi has used it himself since he got it, but he again couldn't as that wouldn't be 10 years when he could use it on himself during the war. I don't know how to call that other than plothole ... error, mistake or timeline fucked up on Kishi's part.--Elveonora (talk) 17:08, June 20, 2012 (UTC)
Shisui could have been planning to use the right eye that Danzo stole on the Uchiha. Maybe he had just recently used the left one he gave Itachi so it wasn't quite ready yet at the time when he fought Sasuke. This is assuming that both eyes have a separate use and cool down period, which I'd say is fairly likely seeing as they did once they were separated.--BeyondRed (talk) 20:20, June 20, 2012 (UTC)
If Shisui has used KA before giving an eye to Itachi, that would explain the eye being ready just during the 4th Ninja War. But he said it himself that he only wanted to do so, but didn't. So he either lied or Kishi can't count to 10. BUT, we can clearly see that the remaining eye of Shisui's was a Mangekyou, so he has not used KA. Then Itachi must have used it himself, but also that doesn't explain it not being 10 years and who the person affected by Itachi's KA is--Elveonora (talk) 00:31, June 21, 2012 (UTC)

Adding Jutsu
Shouldn't the great fireall jutsu be added to the list seeing as how all uchiha have to master the technique to even wear the clan emblem on their backs which he had, plus he was one of their most talented members, im just saying its a safe bet to add it and also shouldn't fire release be addded to his chakra nature section cause all uchiha have a affinity for fire, i feel that is also a safe assumption. Also the genjutsu: sharingan technique because genjutsu is a normal, natural ability of the sharingan. Me1 | Talk 8:12, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
That's not entirely true. Sasuke wore Uchiha attire before learning this technique. His father told him he could now 'shamelessly wear the emblem. This was already discussed a while back, just as easily as that statement could be true, it could be false. Suppose Shisui turns out to be an exception to all of those? This is one of those cases where, if they haven't used it, then they aren't added as users.--Cerez365™(talk) 11:19, September 21, 2012 (UTC)

Shisui ANBU/Root round 2.
Okay, just now I noticed that he ain't listed as one in his infobox and stumbled upon the convo above. To me it's more than obvious he was part of the Root, he was directly under Danzo--Elveonora (talk) 22:09, December 30, 2012 (UTC)
- I don't think soo...i hardly see Shisui, given his personality background, being involved in a shady organization such as the Root, though i do believe he was envolved with the ANBU in general. Darksusanoo (talk) 23:19, December 30, 2012 (UTC)
He was given direct orders from Danzo to put his own clan under genjutsu to prevent the coup d'etat and not by Hiruzen, this say "root member" to me. The thing that he gave Danzo his eye on request is another proof--Elveonora (talk) 00:31, December 31, 2012 (UTC)
- I don't remember reading that...i remember Shisui trying to stop the clan with his genjutsu on his own but Danzo, un-trusting of him, ripped his eye off...if he willingly gave it to him, why did he gave the other one to Itachi? Plus Danzo was one of the highest-ranking and respected ninja of the village, his standing appeared to be second only to the Hokage himself, soo i'm guessing he has some overall pull in the village even outside Root. Darksusanoo (talk) 00:40, December 31, 2012 (UTC)
I don't remember it ever being implied that Danzo literary came and ripped out Shisui's eye, it's not like Shisui wasn't one of the strongest Uchiha and genjutsu master at that time... It doesn't seem any hostility occurred. Also remember Shisui's corpse vanished, that's pretty much Body Elimination Technique or similar thing, as that's what ANBU are trained for. From what I get, this is how it happened:
- Danzo: "give me your eye, I don't trust you completely, maybe you are a double-agent or weak enough to betray your own kin"
- Shisui: "NO"
Let's say that a fight did happen, but it's not like it's possible in the middle of combat to rip out someone's eye without damaging it and any other wounds present on the person. Thus the only explanation in such case would be Danzo's Juinjutsu
- Shisui: "Okay"
- Danzo: "thanks"
The reason why Shisui gave Itachi the other eye is cause they were friends, and as Danzo might have been Shisui's superior, there wasn't enough trust. Everything Danzo did was for the good of Konoha, but he was power-hungry and cruel kinda. Itachi was a fail-safe against Danzo, would he turn evil let's say--Elveonora (talk) 02:36, December 31, 2012 (UTC)
- Danzo is also a powerful ninja in his own right, plus we can see that even then he already had that freaky arm of his, and he had a small army of ninja at his beck and call and Shisui's most powerful technique could only be used once in a decade. From what i see it Shisui was ambushed and had his eye ripped off by Danzo. Either way i don't see a person like Shisui, a follower of the Will of Fire following a war-monger like Danzo and the fact his we don't have a shred of proof that Shisui ever was envolved with the Root. And Shisui's body was found, drowning in the Naka river, and Itachi was even considered a possible suspect. Darksusanoo (talk) 02:52, December 31, 2012 (UTC)
Oh, ur right, forgot about that. Then it must have vanished afterwards. At least I tried ._. --Elveonora (talk) 03:19, December 31, 2012 (UTC)
Assuming that Shisui was even Anbu affiliated: Root was not always a shady organisation. It was a legit faction at some point in time, which would mean that Danzō would have had "authority" over Shisui, legitimately without him being a Root ninja. Secondly Shisui didn't show any of the traits of a Root Anbu, at all i.e. he had a personality. Thirdly, Homura, Koharu and Danzō all command(ed) respect on the same level of the Hokage. Him following Danzō's orders Anbu or no is not surprising because of Danzō position in the village and Shisui didn't agree with his clan's plan. Also Danzō wasn't the one to tell Shisui to put the clan under genjutsu, that was his plan which was taking too long in the warhawk's opinion.--Cerez365™(talk) 05:34, December 31, 2012 (UTC)
So what's with the whole: "Danzo took my eye, he doesn't trust me" pretty obvious they knew each other on personal level and that it wasn't by force in that sense of the word. EDIT: "Danzō has also trained its members to lose their emotions by growing up as brothers from a young age, only to later be made to kill each other" Yeah ;D I don't remember Shisui ever being questioned or accused of his close person's murder, likely because he didn't murder the said person with evilness in mind. How could possibly such a good guy as Shisui get a Mangekyo??? Oh, wait ._.--Elveonora (talk) 02:30, January 1, 2013 (UTC)
- By that standart, Kakashi is the same, since he killed Rin and gained a Mangekyo...Darksusanoo (talk) 03:04, January 1, 2013 (UTC)
We don't know why he did, but obviously he was saddened, thus it wasn't on an evil purpose. Itachi compared Shisui's ideals and mindset to those of Naruto--Elveonora (talk) 05:38, January 1, 2013 (UTC)

The collapse of Eike Batista's business empire has dominated the headlines about Brazil in recent weeks. With good reason. The brash entrepreneur's rise and fall has become a metaphor for the end of the country's economic boom.
After growing 7.5 per cent in 2010, Brazil's economy expanded by a paltry 2.7 per cent in 2011 and sputtered to only 0.9 per cent last year. This year it is forecast to grow by 2.5 per cent. Meanwhile, inflation is stubbornly high at 5.84 per cent in October (on a yearly basis) – well above the official target of 4.5 per cent. To keep expanding, the country will need to boost its productivity by eliminating growth bottlenecks, improving infrastructure and encouraging investment.
Here are some of the best articles from the FT and elsewhere about the end of the "Samba economy".
