Last week, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer announced the release of the new Microsoft Office consumer preview, which you can download at office.com/preview. Designed specifically for compatibility with the upcoming Windows 8 (set to release in October), this newest edition of the world-class Office software sports a uniquely intuitive interface which focuses on stylus, touch and mouse input.
In addition to the touch/stylus centric interface, the new Microsoft Office is -unlike its predecessors- not designed as a traditional software application, and instead has been reincarnated as a continually updating cloud service.
Here are some highlights of the new Office, from Microsoft's press release:
Windows 8 Compatibility
- Touch everywhere. Office responds to touch as naturally as it does to keyboard and mouse. Swipe your finger across the screen or pinch and zoom to read your documents and presentations. Author new content and access features with the touch of a finger.
- Inking. Use a stylus to create content, take notes and access features. Handwrite email responses and convert them automatically to text. Use your stylus as a laser pointer when presenting. Color your content and erase your mistakes with ease.
- New Windows 8 applications. OneNote and Lync represent the first new Windows 8 style applications for Office. These applications are designed to deliver touch-first experiences on a tablet. A new radial menu in OneNote makes it easy to access features with your finger.
- Included in Windows RT. Office Home and Student 2013 RT, which contains new versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote applications, will be included on ARM-based Windows 8 devices, including Microsoft Surface.
Office Is in the Cloud
- SkyDrive. Office saves documents to SkyDrive by default, so your content is always available across your tablet, PC and phone. Your documents are also available offline and sync when you reconnect.
- Roaming. Once signed in to Office, your personalized settings, including your most recently used files, templates and even your custom dictionary, roam with you across virtually all of your devices. Office even remembers where you last left off and brings you right back to that spot in a single click.
- Office on Demand. With a subscription, you can access Office even when you are away from your PC by streaming full-featured applications to an Internet-connected Windows-based PC.
- New subscription services. The new Office is available as a cloud-based subscription service. As subscribers, consumers automatically get future upgrades in addition to exciting cloud services including Skype world minutes and extra SkyDrive storage. Subscribers receive multiple installs for everyone in the family and across their devices.
Office Is Social
- Yammer. Yammer delivers a secure, private social network for businesses. You can sign up for free and begin using social networking instantly. Yammer offers integration with SharePoint and Microsoft Dynamics.
- Stay connected. Follow people, teams, documents and sites in SharePoint. View and embed pictures, videos and Office content in your activity feeds to stay current and update your colleagues.
- People Card. Have an integrated view of your contacts everywhere in Office. The People Card includes presence information complete with pictures, status updates, contact information and activity feeds from Facebook and LinkedIn accounts.
- Skype. The new Office comes with Skype. When you subscribe, you get 60 minutes of Skype world minutes every month. Integrate Skype contacts into Lync and call or instant message anyone on Skype.

Tantalum Mining in Mozambique
Tantalum previously known as tantalium is a hard grayish-blue lustrous transition metal recovered from ore minerals such as columbite and tantalite. The metallic powder of tantalum is widely used in production of electronic components including resistors, capacitors and also in production of watches. Often associated geologically, but with different end-users, tantalum production has been hampered over past years. Tantalum is found in nature in various forms including tantalum carbide, tantalum alloys and many other forms.
What is Tantalum Mining?

I purchased the Lola & Foxy blue bird dog collar & leash for my black standard poodle. It looks amazing on him -- the green really pops on him. He has only had it a couple weeks and everyone who sees him comments on his collar. This is the second Lola & Foxy collar I have purchased. He has the blue seashells collar and leash; he received a lot of compliments on that too! That set is 3 years old and it still looks like new -- hasn't frayed at all. The craftmanship of these sets are top notch! I ordered it on a Monday and it was in my mailbox on Thursday. Love doing business with this company.

Sean Lowe's Dad To Officiate His Upcoming Wedding
November 29, 2013 09:00 AM by Lisa Princ
Let the countdown begin Bachelor fans! There's less than two months left until we get to watch Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici tie the knot on live television, and little by little, details of their upcoming nuptials are leaking out. Now, we've learned that The Bachelor's dad will actually officiate their wedding!
And here we thought that Chris Harrison would be officiating the upcoming wedding of The Bachelor star Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici, but as it turns out, Lowe's father will be the one officiating his son's big day. That's right, in the new issue of Life & Style Magazine, Lowe confirmed the news that it will indeed be his father who will be officiating his wedding.
"I can't think of a more godly man to conduct the ceremony. My dad has had such a powerful and positive influence on my life, I thought it was only fitting to have him officiate our wedding," Lowe explained. Hmm, I guess that squashes all the rumors that suggested that Lowe's family did not like Catherine, huh? Actually, in an interview earlier this year, Sean's dad spoke out and had nothing but wonderful things to say about his future daughter-in-law.
Lowe and Giudici, who have been extremely busy preparing all the details of their big day, are set to tie the knot live on ABC on January 26, 2014. We don't know about you, but we can't wait!
What do you think of Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici televising their wedding? What do you think of Sean's father officiating his son's big day? We know you have an opinion and we want to hear from you! Sound off in the comments section below!

Wake Forest Field Hockey Travels to NCAA Championships
Nov. 17, 2005
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - The No. 2 Wake Forest field hockey team travels to Louisville, Ky., for the semifinals of the 2005 NCAA Championship Tournament, where the Demon Deacons will face Duke, Friday night at 7:30 p.m.
Entering the semifinals as the three-time defending national champions, the Demon Deacons have the opportunity make history by winning their fourth consecutive title. Although Old Dominion, North Carolina and most recently Wake Forest, have all won three consecutive titles, no Division I field hockey team has won four in a row.
Wake Forest will begin its quest to the crown against Duke, a team that the Deacs meet frequently in the NCAA Tournament. The Deacs carry a 3-0 record in the NCAA Tournament play against the Blue Devils, defeating them in the championship game in both 2003 and 2004 and in the second round of 2002. Overall, Wake Forest is on a two game winning streak in the series, including a 2-1 victory earlier in the season.
If the Demon Deacons advance to the championship game, they will face either Maryland or Old Dominion on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. Against the Terps, the Deacs will look to avenge the last meeting, a 3-2 victory by Maryland in the finals of the ACC Tournament. The match-up against Old Dominion will be a relatively new one for Wake Forest, having last played them during the 2001 season. In that game, the Deacs fell, 2-1.

Shailene Woodley: "I'm Not a Feminist, Because I Love Men"
Well, this is awkward.
Shailene Woodley may have some backpedaling to do. After the Divergent actress revealed to Time magazine that she's not a feminist — and her confusing rationale behind her declaration — has resulted in a lot of criticism from just about everybody.
So what was the offending statement? When asked if she's a feminist, Shailene replied, "No, because I love men, and I think the idea of 'raise women to power, take the men away from the power' is never going to work out because you need balance."
Shailene — and, let's face it, many other people — must subscribe to this misconception that feminism is about bringing men down, or that all feminists must hate men. Not true! Feminism is all about equality, and if society can reach the balance that the feminist ideology calls for, everyone benefits.
"I'm 50 percent masculine and 50 percent feminine, same as I think a lot of us are," the 22-year-old actress continued. "And also I think that if men went down and women rose to power, that wouldn't work either. We have to have a fine balance."
Shailene's misinformed opinion was met with both confusion and even a little bit of anger as many different outlets like The Huffington Post hurried to report on her comments. We can't help but feel bad for Shailene, but we understand the media storm. Why would an actress who takes on such girl power-fueled roles (like Tess in Divergent) make such a statement?
But no matter what her understanding or views on feminism are, we do agree with Shailene on one thing: women (and people) in general need to start being kinder to each other.
"There's so much jealousy, so much comparison and envy," Shailene said. "And it's just so silly and heartbreaking in a way."
Being nice to each other? That we can get behind.

The goal of this project is to develop and verify diagnostic assays for infectious diseases currently presenting significant threats to public health, including Dengue, Malaria, and HIV. The reporting elements in these assays are paramagnetic beads, which are detected using a CMOS based platform. Our goal is to demonstrate improved protocol simplicity compared to ELISA, the current immunoassay standard, with special emphasis on the applicability of the assay in a point of care or at home setting where the advents of a research laboratory are not available.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Tomás Bruha, a junior center for the Tulane men's basketball team, underwent season-ending surgery of his left knee last week.
Coach Ed Conroy said Friday that Bruha's surgery was to reconstruct his anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
The Prague, Czech Republic, native, was averaging 1.8 points and 2.3 rebounds for the Green Wave in 18 games with 10 starts before injuring his knee. Bruha was averaging just under 10 minutes a game.
Conroy says losing Bruha is a tough loss for the team. He says he was an important part of the inside game both on the offensive and defensive ends of the floor."
Bruha also missed all but nine games last season with an injury to his right knee.

OF ALL the objective criteria of the status of a patient in shock, the level of the arterial blood pressure is by far the most commonly used in estimating the clinical state and prognosis. This is reasonable, since the level of arterial tension is one of the major factors in the delivery of nutrient blood to the various organ systems. Hypotension of sufficient severity and duration is fatal. Thus all measures which will restore the blood pressure to normal have potential therapeutic usefulness. In most instances of surgical shock the restoration of fluid volume by use of electrolytes, plasma, blood, or colloids is adequate for the correction of the shock state. However, there is a significant group of patients in whom the response to infusion is slow in appearing or does not appear at all. Additional methods of treatment are necessary in this group and the most logical of these

Quote kingof12:If that is the
problem it's annoying as only had the Dav about a year. Surely these units sgould last
longer than that.
Quote:Could my rack or the
position of the unit in the rack be causing this.
Quote kingof12:Right thanks
Hugh. If that is the problem it's annoying as only had the Dav about a year. Surely these
units sgould last longer than that. Could my rack or the position of the unit in the rack
be causing this. My rqck os a 4U made.of mdf. Have you any idea of how much will it cost
me to fix a prob like this? Again any advice appreciated.
Quote kingof12:Okay thanks to
you both for taking the time to reply. I have been in contact with Mick Hinton of Dav
electronics and he has confirmed thqt he will fix the unit under warranty.
Quote:He suggested it
might be a smoothing capacitor on the phantom power.
Quote:Is it unreasonable for me to ask DAV to cover my postage

KISS theater officials, Amato discuss move
Officials from the KISS Children's Theatre are considering moving to another location: the East End Centre in Wilkes-Barre Township.
Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, owner of the Wyoming Valley Mall, recently asked the children's theater to vacate its location in the mall to make way for a restaurant. The theater serves hundreds of children.
Theater officials met with former champion drag racer and developer Joe Amato on Monday to look at space in the East End Centre, which he recently purchased from Bryn Mawr-based WP Realty for $3 million.
Christa Manning, the theater's artistic director, said it's still preliminary but she is "ecstatic" to open a dialogue with Amato about space in the largely vacant shopping center.
"He seems to be someone interested in revitalizing the community," Manning said. "He is someone very interested in our plight."
Amato said the details haven't been finalized, but, "We're committed. We're going to try to do something."
"We're trying to work it out," Amato said. "They're going to try to do a fundraiser and get community support to help them move and we're going to help with space. They do such a great thing. I think the community should jump in and help."
State Rep. Phyllis Mundy recently submitted a letter to PREIT, asking the organization to reconsider its decision to ask the theater to leave its current location, according to a press release.
"I am disappointed to think KISS Theatre may not be part of the Wyoming Valley Mall in a few months," said Mundy, D-Kingston. "It is so important to make sure we support groups like KISS Theatre, which provide a safe place for our children to learn, socialize and grow."
Some local businesses are helping the theater raise funds.
Pizza Bella locations in Ashley, Forty Fort, Nanticoke, Plains Township and Dallas donated $2 from large pizzas ordered Tuesday and the promotion will continue next Tuesday.
Bruno's Hair and Nail Boutique at 17 E. Carey St. in Plains Township also donated $2 from services Tuesday and will continue next Tuesday. The hair and nail boutique also serves as a drop-off area for donations, owner Sue Bruno said.
Bruno said she decided to hold a fundraiser because the theater is a "good thing to keep kids out of trouble." One of her employees is also involved in the theater.
"It's a great outlet and I support all the arts in the valley," she said.
Iced Bakery is holding a fundraiser for the theater online at www.icedbakery.com/#!kiss-theater-fundraiser/c6au. Half of the purchase price from items on the page are going to the theater. So far, the bakery has raised $700 for the theater.
Additionally, PNC Bank donated $250. For information about donating to the theater, call 570-829-1901 or 570-956-1982.

Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0595381359, Paperback)Sally Ramage is an established writer of legal books, articles and academic papers on the subject of serious financial fraud. This is Book 3 in her Fraud Law Series, the first being SERIOUS FRAUD AND CURRENT ISSUES, the second being FRAUD AND THE SERIOUS FRAUD OFFICE.
This third book concentrates on serious corporate fraud in the United Kingdom. Ms Ramage thinks that it is imperative that, to detect corporate fraud, one must have a good understanding of the company law of the country in which the fraud takes place. So her Book 3 Fraud Law will teach you UK COMPANY LAW in a simple, easy to understand way. It then illustrates the breaches of the law with Serious Fraud Office prosecutions. The cases are a startling reminder that this very serious subject is more disturbing as it reveals that it is the professionals, solicitors, accountants and senior executives, who perpetrate such clever, cunning and unscrupulous deeds.
The author would appreciate feedback and if you find this book useful and if you would like her to write similar volumes for other countries, please put forward your suggestions to her.

Watch Orange Is the New Black Take On Cronuts
"We finally tried a bagnut."
Perhaps you're like us and spent the majority of your weekend watching a marathon of Orange Is the New Black's second season, which is good, because you'll need next weekend free to chase down Netflix's show-themed "Crazy Pyes" food truck. In case you missed it, there was a clear, blink-and-you'll-miss-it Cronut reference in the dialogue of the show's fourth episode, courtesy of Larry (Jason Biggs). Stumptown gets a very special shout, too. How soon until Dominique Ansel starts cooking up bagnuts of his own?

WASHINGTON (CBSDC/AP) — The Obama administration has incorrectly stated on three separate occasions the effect of the $85 billion in sequester cuts.
CBS News reports that the statements came over the past 10 days.
The first time came Feb. 24 when Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said on "Face the Nation" that teachers were getting fired because of the cuts.
"There are literally teachers now who are getting pink slips, who are getting notices that they can't come back this fall," Duncan said. He later backtracked, saying he "misspoke" when no evidence was found to his claim.
When President Obama held a press conference about the sequester cuts on Friday, the president said that janitors at the U.S. Capitol would have to receive a pay cut. CBS News reports that Carlos Elias, the superintendent of the U.S. Capitol building and the Capitol Visitors Center, had to email his employees after Obama's statement saying it wasn't true.
Then, this past Monday, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said that lines at airports grew by 200 percent at checkpoint lines, but those claims were also unfounded.
Despite the misstatements, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney says there are efforts "to muddy" the facts of what the sequester cuts mean. Continue reading via CBSDC/AP...

Record Setting $30 Million For A Mercedes
An auction was held by the Bonhams Auction Company in England, where a 1954 Mercedes-Benz racecar was sold. The purchaser, who has not yet been named, took the bidding up to a record setting $30 million. Previously, the record for a vehicle sold by auction was a 1957 Ferrari Testa Rossa Prototype that sold for $16.4 million in California in 2011.
The Mercedes-Benz that sold for astounding amount was a W196R Formula 1 racecar in 1954. The engine is a 2.5-liter eight-cylinder, and the car itself was part of a group that won nine out of twelve World Championship-qualifying Grand Prix races in the years 1954 and 1955.
This specific Mercedes racecar won two of those races, and was driven by the Legendary Argentinean-born, Juan Manuel Fangio. Also, it is the only one of the W196 racecars currently not in a museum or owned by Mercedes-Benz. Fangio won 45 percent of all the races he entered and started on the pole in almost 60 percent of them. He won championships with four different teams; one of them was at the age of 46 in 1957, which is currently the record for the oldest formula one champion.
Racing historian Doug Nye, told Bonhams, "If he were here today Fangio would shake his head and smile his slow smile. He was a humble man, originally a mechanic from a potato town in Argentina and never forgot his roots. As a driver, he was simply a genius."
It is believed the reason for the high price of the sale is that the car is mostly original and in unrestored condition. Only a few hoses had been replaced. The W196 still had the scrapes and scratches from on track mishaps imbedded into the body. To collectors now-a-days, classic automobiles in this condition are worth more to them than restored ones.
Jonathan Klinger from the collector car insurance company who inspected the car closely, said, "This car still had scuff marks from racing mishaps and places where the paint was chipped off."
For auctioning off the car, Bonham received a twelve percent commission from the $30 million.
"I have handled some of the world's most desirable and important motor cars during a motoring auction career spanning five decades, but I have reached a peak with this legendary grand prix car. It was a personal privilege to preside over the sale of this vehicle, which is not only one of the most significant motor cars of the 20th century but also the most important historic grand prix racing car ever offered for sale," said Robert Brooks, Bonhams chairman.
According to market watch, the racecar was sold to a British collector sometime after it was retired from racing. A French collector then purchased the car, followed by a German collector who purchased it next. And now it has been sold for a record amount at an auction.
Other items that were auctioned off relating to the W196 was a child-sized drivable replica with a 50cc engine that sold for $8,688, a one eighth scale version sold for $5,288, and a Fangio-signed photo of him in a W196 sold for $1,133.

on in many districts. Maintenance was to be done only if we received a complaint and none of the DUDA officials or beneficiary has complained about the constructed toilet till now. Training and seminars were conducted in all the districts, which convinced the beneficiaries to get the toilets constructed in the first place, said Jha.
Imam said, We have already conducted a biometric survey of beneficiaries for the scheme in 2008. However, since the number of cards to be made is over 73,000, the process is still going on. He said the toilets were constructed between 2009 and 2011 and the payment was made by SUDA only after the DMs submitted their report verifying the construction of toilets.
A few months ago, Chintamani and Srivastava, along with officials of Sulabh International and other NGOs, were named in an FIR lodged by SUDA officials in Rampur district when it was found that payment had been made against alleged fake construction of toilets.
Similar irregularities were also unearthed in Meerut and Bareilly districts, after which the government ordered district magistrates of all 53 districts to physically verify the construction of toilets under the scheme and submit their reports by November 2. Most of the reports are still awaited, said Yaduvanshi.

Stay Away!: Creepy As Hell 'Extra Eyes' Face Paintings
This is a series of creepy face and hand paintings by Choo-San, who obviously has zero regard for me sleeping at night. Call me sensitive, but-- "You're a sissy." You know what? For the sake of making your life a passive-agressive hell for the next week, I'm just gonna pretend you didn't say that. Now, call me SENSITIVE, but I don't just don't need this kind of imagery before bed. Also: the silhouette of my roommate in the doorway whispering, "Your ass is mine." I've only napped during the day while he's at work since 2011, true story.
Hit the jump for a bunch more freaky-deaky.
Thanks to Becca88, who's perfectly happy with the number of eyes she has now. Come on -- you've never wanted some in the back of your head?!

Look of the Week: Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is the perfect excuse to get all dolled up whether you're headed out for a night on the town or staying home for a more intimate evening.
When searching for an ensemble that's sure to get hearts racing, we steered clear of the clichéd reds and pinks associated with the sugar-coated holiday and instead opted for a romantic dress in the perfect shade of winter white. And to play up the sexy silhouette, we topped off the look with edgy accessories and the most adorable ring we've ever seen.
Now knock 'em dead.

Officials of Shelbyville-based Citizens Union Bank issued a statement Thursday that said the lawsuit filed against them last week by former CEO Billie Wade was "without merit."
Wade, whose retirement was announced in March, is suing the bank, its holding company and three individuals for wrongful termination and defamation of character, among other things.
Shirley Sherrod's firing at Dept. of Agriculture last week ignited America's ugly history of racism into a media frenzy again. As the talking heads talked, Sherrod's remarks reminded me of Rodney King's "can't we all just live together?" in 1991.
Spencer County High School Dance Team spent this week at UDA Convention Dance Camp in Sharonville, Ohio. They worked hard learning several new routines, as well as participating in technique and tricks/lifts classes. The highlight of the week was joining in a Master hip-hop class taught by Brandon Bryant, a star on "So You Think You Can Dance" from season 5.
Football season will soon be upon us, meaning that the hard work begins now, in the midst of the heat and humidity of mid-summer. You can see that if you drive by one of the practice fields in the community this week and watch boys in sweat-drenched shirts blocking, passing and tackling.
The 2010-2011 SCHS Lady Bears traveled to Versailles this past weekend to open their season in varsity scrimmage play.
Saturday they battled through the high temperatures to a 4-2 win over Owensboro and a 0-1 loss to Male. Sunday morning they came out flat against Beechwood 0-1.
In the final game, they won a decisive victory over Paducah Tilghman 2-0 to bring home the bronze medal.
The flashing lights. The smell of elephant ears and corn dogs bathing in hot grease. The screams of delight coming from the carnival rides. It must be time for the fair.
Spencer County's 2010 Fair, which began last night, continues tonight through Saturday. Each evening promises prize-winning livestock, roaring motors and home-grown beauties of all ages. Literally, something for everyone.
Dwight Martin said his hopes are that people will forget their worries this week and enjoy all that the fair has to offer.
Local quilter Jan Darnell's art quilt, Running Free, was accepted to be part of the juried show, A Horse's Tale, at the National Quilt Museum in honor of the 2010 World Equestrian Games. This is the first time the Equestrian Games is being held outside Europe. Darnell is one of 24 quilters chosen for the exhibit from around the world and one of only six quilters from Kentucky.
The following property transfers were recorded in the Spencer County Clerk's office during the month of May 2010.
Acting on an anonymous tip, local and state police converged on a quiet Elk Creek subdivision early Monday morning in search of an illegal plant growing operation.
What they found was a relatively small amount of marijuana in various stages of growth with an estimated street value of $26,000 and a much larger hallucinogenic mushroom supply worth approximately $100,000.
"This is the first time in my 21 years that we've dealt with mushrooms here," said Spencer County Sheriff Steve Coulter.
"Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt."
So goes the much-honored oath of Special Olympics, an organization for athletes with intellectual disabilities that holds competitions in 181 countries.
"That's my favorite quote," said 17-year-old Zachary Newton, who spent last week in Lincoln, Nebraska representing Kentucky, as well as Taylorsville, in the 2010 Special Olympics USA National Games which brought together over 3,000 athletes, 2,000 coaches, and 8,000 volunteers from 33 states.

Unconditional Maximum Likelihood of an AR(10) model.
Is it possible to estimate the Unconditional Maximum Likelihood of an AR(10) model (see Hamilton pp.123 [5.3.6]) with maxlik library and loglik proc? If yes can you explain how to write the retp( ??? ) part of the procedute?. If not what do you suggest doing?
Thank you very much.
3 Answers
For Maxlikmt you are required to write a procedure that returns the log-likelihood of your model.
From your description I'm assuming you have a univariate time series and you want to estimate an AR(10) model. The log-likelihood procedure takes two arguments, a PV structure containing the parameters of the model, in your case a vector of 10 autoregression parameters. The second argument is a DS structure containing the time series. To us the varmaml() function in the Run-Time Library you must remove the means from the data, i.e., there'll be no interecept. You can compute an intercept after you have the estimates.
So in your command file you'll have initialized a PV structure and a DS structure:
struct PV par; par = pvPack(pvCreate,.01*ones(10,1),"AR"); load y[500,1] = "mydata.txt"; // assumes a vector of time series data // in a text file called mydata.txt struct DS ts; ts.dataMatrix = y; // your procedure looks like this proc ll(struct PV p, struct DS d); // res = varmares(w,phi,theta); // we'll compute the residuals and compute // the log-likelihood from that. // This procedure assumes a univariate time series. // It will have to be modified for multivariate series local e,ar,ma,oldt,sse; ar = pvUnpack(p,"AR"); ma = error(0); oldt = trapchk(2); e = varmares(d.dataMatrix,ar,ma); trap oldt,2; // we trapped the call to varmares because if it fails it'll // return a missing value and MaxlikMT might be able to // recover and try some different ar parameters if not scalmiss(e); retp(lnpdfn(e)); else; retp(error(0)); endif; endp;
The varmal() function in the Run-Time Library computes an unconditional VARMA log-likelihood. Call that procedure in your log-likelihood proc.
Could you please give me a simple example how to combine these to procedures (varmall and loglik) or/and give me some reference?

Just saw on Twitter that Bob Feller passed away around 8:15 p.m. tonight.
Wow. RIP Bob!
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
Great Ballplayer, Better American. R.I.P. Bob.
That sucks...
So who gets his stuff?
RIP Mr. Feller. You were one of the true greats, not only in Baseball, but for your service to your country in the prime of your career. You will be missed.
"Rapid Robert" ...the 1st MLB pitcher clocked over 100 mph. And certainly a true veteran to his country. I remember my grandfather telling me about the times he'd stop at Bob Fellers house in Vanmeter, and delivered their bread. This was before he got into baseball. R.I.P.
What a great career Bob Feller had in the golden era of baseball.
Home grown in the state of Iowa. RIP
Twitter: @HBforTHREE
Dont worry about the horse being blind-- Just load the wagon.
RIP Bob
This does suck. I had the pleasure of being able to get to know Mr. Feller back when I was in little league. He was friends with my coach at time. He, on more than one occasion, taught me a lot about pitching and how to throw a curve ball properly. He was one of the nicest persons I have ever met. This is a sad day but he lived a wonderful, long life. I will cherish my memories and the few photos I have of him and I.
R.I.P. Bob Feller!
*Rest in peace corn dog chick and #Hoiball
When I go to sign into the funeral book I'm going to charge the family $25.
My grandpa tells me stories of playing against Bob when he was at Van Meter.
Says he threw 95-100 in high school there.
My grandpa is proud to tell the story of his 3 hits off of Bob in the
district finals.
RIP Mr. Felller.......you were a great man!
Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.
I was really sad to hear about his death. My wife took the news harder than I did since she is related to him. Rest in peace Bob!
RIP. Feller is an Iowa legend. It's pretty cool that theres a lot of people around the state than can say they met him.
RIP i got to meet him and get his autograph when he came back to vanmeter around 2000 or so. it was cool to meet the guy and look through the museum, he will be missed

Just state my opinion, don't you all think that this manga drag the fight very long? Is like watching the same chapter every week
Just state my opinion, don't you all think that this manga drag the fight very long? Is like watching the same chapter every week
yea it take way to long but i felt that good cause thestory is good too i love it and actually i want it longer
i respect waikiki sensei so much if u read his biography i guess u willl understand what i mean
Clearly neither of you have read dragon ball z. These fights are as short as a minute compared to those. I don't get why people complain over how long fights are in manga and anime. They're long, because they help the plot and story along. Otherwise, there probably wouldn't be a reason for them to be so long.
maybe what kronos mean was compare the first conquest this conquest was longer
I don't think it's long at all and that the fighting is considerably ok considering other mangas.
Dragging the fight for too long? If you're thinking TWGOK on the same lines as other shonen mangas that have an action-oriented male protagonist, then you're a bit wrong as the fight is already being dragged ever since chapter 1. Frankly, the "fight" that is happening in TWGOK is not the typical action fight scenes you see in action-themed mangas. Instead, these "fights" are fought using minds. I know that there are real fight scenes that happened in TWGOK like the Haqua-Lune fight but these fights are pretty much overshadowed by the psychological fights. These psychological fights include forcing the weiss out of their hosts so that they can be captured. Heck, the weiss are mostly invulnerable to psychical damage and the only thing that can hurt them is a well-calculated plan (usually from Keima). If we take the phrase "The pen is mightier than the sword", it would appear that the "fight" that you're talking about refers to an even bigger fight where the winner is the one that can outsmart the other.
To be honest, fights revolving around minds are much more difficult than those revolving around physical power as you don't see who will win until it's too late.
The thing that I learned with every manga and anime I read and watched:
Never trust a minor character who appears in the story often with no reason at all. They're the biggest shockers ever.
Chihiro fans will like this:
Note: The link in this spoiler is on Fanfiction.net
is that so??i think this manga is give me deep impression though,because from chapter one up till now there is some connection,,i often think that wakaki sensei is actually already think plot quite far ahead since beginning chapter,and i enjoy it
I think you mean story? Cause there isnt alot of fighting in this manga...

You see, in the academy, it's is all about encouraging free speech
— That is, when that "free speech" comes from a sawed-off Messianic Iranian mouthpiece for theocratic despots, the kind of terror-sponsoring reactionaries whose attitude toward women and gays is, to be kind, rather parochial.
Whereas HATE SPEECH…well, that's a different story entirely.
And it must be stopped, even if doing so means shouting down the speaker so that he is ultimately unable to make his argument.
Remember: nothing shows how much you care more than your refusal to tolerate intolerance.
(h/t Stacy McCain)
update: More here.

Colleges are scary. But you can get your degree without going to really a whole lot of guest speakers. I have proof.
So much in life is learning about flying under the radar anyway.
I'm shaped like a Stealth Bomber.
Yes, but they disagreed with the speech, and since they are themselves good people who would never disagree with something good, then it's almost as if God himself came down and stopped the speech. For the good of the people.
Besides, hasn't history clearly shown that the best way to shut down hate groups, like the Klan or Republicans, is to make sure they are never allowed to spread their vile message.
The argument that George Washington and Columbia are two unrelated things unsubsumable under the name "academy," but Santorum and email@example.com are the same thing, should arrive shortly.
There have been too many of these stories for me to care anymore. I'm all outraged out when it comes to academia. Let 'em sleep in the bed they made until having a college degree is a definite minus in the job market and we all turn to the apprenticeship model.
There is no hypocricy on the left (and there is much) as insidious or infuriating as their intolerance of intolerance. I was once in a very long argument with a moonbat about various topics but I kept turning his arguments about tolerance and such back on his intolerance of Nazis,etc. until he finally admitted what I knew all along.
"They shouldn't be able to say that because they are wrong."
So, I asked him if him how, in a pluralistic society, we should determine what "right" is. He copped out but basically insinuated he should be dictator. Niiice.
Of course, the left has never been a very big fan of actually, you know, listening to the little people; just using them for votes.
Someone's gonna end up getting shot, going down this road. Or maybe they'll do that acid in the face thing. Either way, if I were at all unorthodox I would steer clear of college campuses or else change my views so that colleges found them more acceptable and I could go there without fear of causing any controversy.
I'm shaped like a Stealth Bomber.
It's hard to have sex when you're covered with black, flat, brittle, angular panels.
Not saying from experience, but you know. The mechanics of the whole thing…
I've long since passed the point where I wonder if anything short of actual corporal-punishment discipline would have any effect. Historically, physical pain is the only reliable deterrent for rampant stupidity.
Well, that and death. But fatal levels of stupid are their own reward, really.
They should have clapped instead of booed. IF that's not allowed either, maybe foot tapping?
andy puts in all in perspective: booing is considered an intelligent rebuttal in ProggSpeak, you see. As well as throwing bricks, spitting and flinging shit. Who the fuck are you to "not allow" it?

Shares Plunge over US Scandal; WORLDCOM: Telecoms Giant Uncovers Pounds 2.5bn Accounting Fraud
Byline: SI'N BARRY
SHARES on the London Stock Exchange plummeted yesterday following the news that US telecoms giant, Worldcom, had uncovered a pounds 2.5bn accounting fraud.
An investigation by the US company's WorldCom's board of directors has uncovered nearly $3.8bn (pounds 2.5bn) in improperly booked expenses, revealing what appears to be one of the largest cases ever of accounting fraud.
WorldCom's chief financial officer, Scott Sullivan, has been sacked and trading in Worldcom shares have been suspended.
The news that one of the US's biggest companies was in such dire straits sent shock waves through the London Stock Exchange, knocking almost 200 points of the FTSE 100 index and although prices rallied later in the day it was still a day of painful losses for some of the City's biggest players. Worldcom's admission that more than $3bn (pounds 1.9bn) of expenses in 2001 and $797m (pounds 530m) for the first quarter of 2002 were wrongly listed on company books as capital expenditures, came as a further blow to confidence in the already flaky equities markets. And the involvement of disgraced accountancy practice Arthur Anderson as the company's auditors only added to the feeling that Worldcom was in the words of one city analyst ``another Enron''.
The discovery of the misrepresentation of Worldcom's accounts means the company will have to restate its earnings for all of 2001 and the first quarter of 2002. …

Westpac Posts Smallest Profit Growth Since 2009 on Margin
Westpac Banking Corp., Australia's second-biggest bank, reported the smallest increase in first-half profit since 2009 as competition to attract deposits squeezed margins.
Cash earnings, which exclude one-time items and some costs, rose less than 1 percent in the six months to March 31 to A$3.20 billion ($3.3 billion) from A$3.17 billion a year earlier, Westpac said today. Net income fell 25 percent to A$2.97 billion, matching analysts' estimates, as the prior period was boosted by tax benefits from buying St. George Bank.
Europe's debt crisis has made it more expensive for Australia's biggest banks to raise funds overseas, squeezing margins as credit demand and home sales dwindle. Westpac Chief Executive Officer Gail Kelly today forecast "modest" increases in lending and further competition for deposits at home, putting further pressure on profitability.
"These banks are fighting for funding, particularly for those deposits, and while that's happening, their margins are going to be under massive pressure," said Chris Weston, a dealer at IG Markets in Melbourne. "But expenses look like they're under control."
Lending increased 5 percent in the six-month period, more than the 4 percent growth in expenses, Westpac said. The bank's net interest margin, a measure of lending profitability, fell 4 basis points to 2.17 percent from the year-earlier period, mostly because of higher interest rates paid to depositors.
Higher Shares
Westpac shares today rose 1 percent to A$22.91 at the close in Sydney after the bank's first-half dividend of 88 cents a share beat the expectation of analysts including David Ellis at Morningstar. The S&P/ASX 200 index fell 0.2 percent.
"The aggressively higher dividend underscores the attractiveness of investing in the major banks," Ellis, Morningstar's head of banking research, said in an e-mail.
Even with the smaller margins, Westpac's net interest income advanced 6 percent as loans and deposits swelled. Non-interest income rose 6 percent on higher trading earnings.
Kelly told reporters she's attempting to switch Westpac's focus to "a deposit-raising culture from a lending culture." The outlook is "challenging and difficult," she said.
Business and consumers are "cautious" and "low" credit growth will continue, she said. In a presentation to investors, the bank forecast further pressure on margins from higher funding costs in the second half.
'Lower Demand'
Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd., Australia's third-largest bank, yesterday reported a larger-than-expected decline in lending profitability in the six months ended March 31 as it paid more for deposits and overseas funds. Foreign income drove a 10 percent increase in earnings. In Australia, there's "persistently lower demand for credit," CEO Michael Smith said.
National Australia Bank Ltd., the fourth-largest bank in the country, on April 30 reported a 16 percent decline in net income for the six months ended March 31 as it booked charges to shrink its U.K. business. The bank will report details of its earnings, including lending margins, on May 10.
Sales of new homes in Australia fell in March to a record low, according to the Canberra-based Housing Industry Association. The prices declined in the three months through March, extending the longest losing streak in at least a decade, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said this week.
Australia's central bank on May 1 cut benchmark borrowing costs by a larger-than-expected 50 basis points to spur economic growth, saying Europe's debt crisis may shock the market for some time.
Rate Cuts
The crisis is pushing up fundraising costs for Australia's banks, even as the Reserve Bank of Australia cut benchmark borrowing costs. The divergence is forcing lenders to withhold some of the central bank's rate reductions to protect lending margins.
National Australia Bank yesterday kept more than a third of the RBA cut, trimming its variable mortgage rate by 32 basis points. Commonwealth Bank of Australia said today it will cut its variable mortgage rate by 40 basis points. Westpac said it plans to announce its rate decision tomorrow.

A little over four years ago, the Clipse made it clear that they weren't afraid of being vocal about their disdain and disregard for Lil Wayne. After the Cash Money star publicly wrote off Clipse as non-entities in the Rap game, the duo infamously called out Weezy for what they claimed was his attempt to "rap like Jay-Z, dress like the Clipse, become a coke dealer after 5 albums, and now dress like Jim Jones."
Wayne responded to the comments almost a year later in an interview with Complex Magazine, convinced that the Clipses' "Mr. Me Too" video was about him. He assured readers that his net worth and prolific music was reason enough for him to consider their statements void: "I'm on a million-dollar bus going around the world charging people from $50,000 to $150,000 for verses," he'd said. "Do the math; you think I'm trying to be like you? No sir."
Well, after four years, one stint in jail, and a meeting in Miami, Pusha T says the beef between them is over. He told Complex that things change as time passes, and he's gotten a sense of a bigger picture.
"Ever since Lil Wayne went to jail, that whole little stint is really dead and over with. I don't have any ill words towards Wayne, Cash Money, or any of them. There was definitely a time period when I felt a certain way [about him] but as of right now I don't. That's just where I once was. I don't even like speaking on it. [On my mixtape Fear of God], I actually said, 'They had freed Weezy, congratulations.' When I seen Wayne in Miami, I told him, 'Congratulations on getting out of jail.'"
Pusha explained that as he's matured, he's come to get a better idea of the difference between beefing in interviews and beefing in music.
"I looked at [Wayne] like, this man has got some real problem and real issues too. This man really went to jail. So it's way bigger than some Rap shit. That's all it was ver to me, some Rap shit. Even when the little jabs where we were going back and forth, it was never nothing personal like, 'I hate your guts.' It was on wax and who can be the cleverest. It was something I would never have talked about even in interviews. I think the whole interview thing is what makes it different. Things are different in interviews versus songs."

I really don't dig this since I live in the country and it is creepy (yeah as a man I can admit this) when riding in the dark out here. I have plenty of lighting for my bike so I guess that will help. Anyone else doing any night riding?
