"A writer only creates a character from his point of view.
They might give them a personality, a look and relationships,

Kotonoha, a cell phone novelist fell in love with her tutor Nozomu. When she decided to tell him about her feelings, her world turns upside down: He just got married!
That just being the prologue to the dramas in Kotonohas life, she learns to move on by joining the Modern Literature Club in her school.
Soon her little worlds collides with Akira, a crossdressing writer, who finds out about her secret hobby.

Just away
I want to break out
and never come back again
After all those things that happened during the last days, I just wanted to hide myself.
I snuggled deep, deep down into my futon, with my worries and thoughts all mingled up with each another.
What should I do?
What will happen next?
Suddenly I heard a noise from outside.
It was the door, slowly opened.
"Are you awake?", Kanae whispered, not sure if I was still asleep - As if I could!
"Come in.", I said. My voice was trembling from off-use.
Too much crying.
Too much shouting.
Too much of everything.

The first two guys have barely appeared in the show. I had no idea how big a profile any of these people would have when I made the list!
I think Kit Harington would probably go up a couple of places if I were doing the list now. He's really ridiculously dreamy. Richard Madden hasn't had anywhere near as much chance to shine.
Like everyone else on this show, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau does not benefit from a bad dye job.]]>
Still, I didn't know who the hell the first 2 characters on your list were and so had to look them up.
Harry Lloyd, while probably a perfectly nice guy, plays such a repellant eel, that your glowing review of him seems almost comical (although he does play it well, so point Wheeler I guess.)
I think Kit Harrington outfoxes Richard Madden in the actual show, a little scruff and curling black locks do a lot for the guy, but maybe I'm looking for something different than you are.
I don't know what Nicolai Coster-Waldau's been in before but I can't take him seriously. He looks so much like Dennis Leary Lite, that it's comical and distracting whenever he's on screen. Also his name is Jaime. I'll take Renly over Jaime any day.
One thing I think we can agree on though, Dinklage kills it. A little peroxide in no way diminishes the man's charms.
However, I agree with the main thrust of this article - I can't help but think that the people who say male and female comic characters are equally sexualised just have no clue what a sexualised man actually looks like.]]>
I absolutely agree that submissive does not necessarily equal feminine. I never said otherwise. In fact, I would strike the 'necessarily' from your statement. Submissive does not equal feminine.]]>
Beefcake is not submissive. Even when the guy is beaten, bruised, or tied to a chair, he should be confident and defiant.
Beefcake guys may offer a knowing sneer or a glowing smile, but they do not offer themselves up the way cheesecake girls do. Rather, they present themselves. That's a subtle but important difference. They are still there to be looked at, but they're not there to be taken.
I think there absolutely is room for these elements, even in the most traditional beefcake art. There's room for a lot of fantasies in beefcake, including those of us who enjoy a little male submissiveness in our mindless titillation.
(Also, "submissive" does not necessarily equal "feminine.")]]>
I'd also throw Sandy Ryerson (Stephen Toblowsky's character) in there as Neutral Evil, and bump Santana up to Chaotic Neutral with Puck. In fact, I think a good chunk of the teen cast could qualify as Chaotic Neutral, which is probably why I think Glee feels (or used to feel) emotionally authentic despite being absolutely unrealistic.]]>

Cleveland (Jul. 14)
Judge Lewis Drucker, at present taking a summer course at the University of Chicago, addressed the opening of the United Jewish campaign at Racine, Wisconsin. The other guest speaker from Cleveland was Isaac Carmel, Zionist leader.
Mr. Drucker will also address the opening of this campaign at Madison, Wisconsin, together with Mr. Carmel, who will also speak at the opening rally at Duluth, Minn., during the latter part of the month.
The rallies are in connection with the United Jewish Appeal drive for $3,000,000 for the aid of German Jewish refugees.

About the Book
In April 2009, a group of 21 people from three states and multiple churches traveled to the Petén region of Guatemala. There we visited three communities to do medical clinics and painting projects. Two of the communities were where ex-guerrilla fighters of the civil war now reside. The other community was a Kekchi village. This book is a pictorial depiction of that trip.

Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone else has ever had this issue,
I have 2 IDENTICAL versions of IE9 on different machines both are in IE9 standards mode and IE9 document mode but one of them isn't rendering certain filter elements like drop-shadow and background gradients. Very strange, I don't know what to do now because I worry about whether my users will have this behavior?
Is one on compatibility mode? If so that will cause the page to view like IE7. Depending on how the CSS is worked, filters will only work for certain versions of IE, and unless you account for all the versions of IE, you will have some that don't have the dropshadows/gradients appear :).
Though we will need a site to confirm this, although that's likely the reason for it.
Hey Ryan, It is not in compatibility mode as far as I know but I have uninstalled and reinstalled IE9 now and it seems to have gone away.
Here is my page anyway just for you to confirm. I have deliberately left the terrible text shadow filter on to show you what I am struggling with in IE9, can you suggest an alternative to this. I am using filters for gradients, dropshadow and opacity wherever necessary because as an e-commerce business, many of our customers will have IE7,8,9.
This has been an interesting journey learning to use various CSS3 generators and using a combination of filters and CSS3 rules. I even went to the trouble of creating an SVG image background conditionally applied to IE9 to avoid the square gradient box showing through the rounded corners but I am a bit fed up of how long it takes so I would appreciate it if you could enlighten me on the text shadow issue.
Well you could always use images instead of the filters...
You also have an XML declaration above your doctype. Remove that. It causes quirks mode for IE (unrelated note) :).
Personally I'd be using images instead of filters but it's your call.
The computer I'm on doesn't have IE9 so I can't test my theory.

Val Kilmer: King of the Krewes
Val Kilmer is a big deal at this year's Mardi Gras. And not just because of the 49-year-old actor's increasing girth.
Kilmer was chosen as this year's King of the Krewe of Bacchus, a title whose duties apparently include dressing up like a cross between Henry VIII and the Pope and riding atop a float during the annual King of the Krewes parade. (It also seemingly entitles one to wear a delightful air of manties; use our photo-zoom feature to check them out.)
Hey, the man currently provides the voice of K.I.T.T. on the new Knight Rider series; who else did you think they'd choose?
If Kilmer has his way, this won't be the last position of leadership he holds. The actor revealed last year that he's considering a run for the governorship of New Mexico.
But really, wouldn't that kind of small-town gig be a disappointment after achieving these lofty heights?

lol yes. 11w drops the hammer down on his b-day.
= D In seriousness, this article is spot on. I expect 44 to deliver mega points unless it's on the road against a top Big10 team... or in the round of 16 and beyond. Sadly though that's when we need him the most.

I've been on this site since the horrible news broke about Tatgate up until today. You've been spot on and I'm happy to say I jumped on the 11w wagon long ago.
I've been educating some fools for over a year that for info they need to add you on twitter, fb and visit this site. Keep up the good work.

Fine + 2 game suspension would be fantastic.

The match will kick off at 1 p.m. live on ESPN2 as the conclusion to the first-ever Women's Nike Friendlies, taking place at the HDC from Sept. 28-Oct. 1. While 2006 Residency Training Camp came to an end in mid-September, the U.S. team will return for the pre-match training camp to the familiar surrounding of The HDC where the USA was encamped from April until a few weeks ago. Twenty of the 24 players named to the training camp roster were in Residency Training Camp at some point this year, but Ryan has given first call-ups to three players while veteran defender Kate Markgraf was named to her first roster since the birth of her son on July 18. Forward Danesha Adams will come into her first training camp with the Women's National Team after an excellent performance at the 2006 FIFA U-20 Women's World Championship in Russia last month. Ryan also called in two players from the U.S. team that won the FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship in Canada back in 2002: Keeley Dowling, an athletic central defender, and forward Megan Kakadelas, a former Santa Clara University star. Ryan will choose 18 players from this roster to face Chinese Taipei. The USA will finish its 2006 schedule of domestic friendly matches on Oct. 8 at the University of Richmond against Iceland (tickets). That game kicks off at 2 p.m. ET live on ESPN2.

In the second match two days later, the U.S. got a header from Brandon Zimmerman in the 76th minute to pull out the win.

SWEDEN QUALIFIES FOR 2007 FIFA WOMEN'S WORLD CUP: Sweden has joined Norway, host China, North Korea and Australia as the fifth team to earn a berth to the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup. Sweden needed just a tie against the Czech Republic in Gothenburg to win Group 2 last weekend, but notched a 2-0 victory with both goals coming in the first half from star forward Hanna Ljungberg. It will be Sweden's fifth consecutive appearance at the FIFA Women's World Cup. Europe will send three more teams to China, with Germany needing a win, tie or loss by less than four goals in its midweek (Sept. 27) meeting away at Russia to make it through from Group 4. Group 3 will also be decided on Wednesday as well as Finland travels to Denmark. The winner goes to China with Finland needing only a draw to advance to its first Women's World Cup. France's vital three points from its 2-1 victory over Australia last Saturday set up a titanic match with England on Sept. 30 in France. A victory for Les Bleus sends France to China, a win or a tie for England sends the Three Lions to the WWC '07.
NEW ZEALAND TO HOST FIRST FIFA U-17 WOMEN'S WORLD CUP, CHILE TO HOST NEXT U-20 WOMEN'S WORLD CUP: The FIFA executive committee decided last week to award the inaugural FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup to New Zealand in 2008. That tournament will be for players born Jan. 1, 1991, or after. Three berths each were allocated to Asia, Africa, CONCACAF, South America and Europe, while one will go to Oceania. In addition, FIFA decided that the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup will be held in Chile. That tournament will be for players born Jan. 1, 1988, or after.
ROCHESTER TO HOST VANCOUVER IN USL-1 FINAL: The Vancouver Whitecaps will travel to PAETEC Park to face the Rochester Raging Rhinos in the USL First Division Championship game on Saturday, Sept. 30 live on Fox Soccer Channel at 7 p.m. ET. Greg Howes scored against 10-man Charleston during the first-leg of the semifinal series on Friday (Sept. 22) night, and that is all the Rhinos would need as they played the Battery to a 0-0 draw on the return leg on Sunday. In the other series, Vancouver and Montreal played to a 0-0 draw on Friday night in the first leg in Vancouver before the series shifted to Montreal where the visiting Whitecaps took the game to overtime before winning 2-0. Eduardo Sebrango scored the winner in the 115th minute in front of a crowd of 11,782. Rochester looks to win its fourth USL-1 championship, while the Whitecaps are appearing in the final for the first time.
PEAK PERFORMER: D.C. United's Christian Gomez continues to state his case for league MVP honors, his goal and two assists helping put an end to United's four-match winless run while clinching home field advantage throughout the MLS Eastern Conference playoffs. Gomez tallied the Black-and-Red's second goal in the 4-3 shootout against New York on Saturday night, moving him into a tie for third place in the Golden Boot race with 11 goals to his credit. Gomez tops the league assist board with an equal number of assists, giving the stat geeks all the ammunition they need to anoint the Argentinean the best of MLS in 2006.
MARQUEE MATCHUP: A chance to win hardware. That's what's at stake for the Chicago Fire and L.A. Galaxy when the two meet in the 2006 Open Cup Final this Wednesday, Sept. 27 at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, Ill. Both repeat winners of the Dewar Cup, Chicago (three championships) and L.A. (two) will clash just four days after meeting in league play, the Fire coming away with the 2-1 victory at home.
SOCCER SHOCKER: With three weeks left in the season, who would have thought that Chivas USA would be sitting all alone in second place in the Western Conference? Well, that's exactly where the worst team in 2005 is this week after a remarkable resurgence organized by head coach Bob Bradley and executed by Ante Razov and Juan Pablo Garcia.

OWAIN BROWN knows that time is running out to impress Wales' head coach Iestyn Harris.
The North Wales Crusaders' prop thought he had missed out on a place in Harris' 21-man squad for the clash with France at The Racecourse on Saturday, (2.30pm), after his name was omitted from the initial list.
But Brown's absence proved to be nothing more than a clerical error and he is now eager to stake a claim for a place in the matchday 17 on his home turf.
"I hope I can play in the game," said Brown. "I have two hours to impress Iestyn and force my way into his plans for Saturday.
"I am thinking about the possibility of making my debut but I don't want to build it up too much in case I miss out.
"But, I would never have dreamt of having the chance of playing for Wales a year ago so I want to play and give it my all.
"The whole experience won't sink in until I am told 'you are in the 17' or not."
Brown expects to find out whether he has made the final cut tomorrow evening, but before then he has the chance to catch the eye of Harris and coach Lee Briers in training sessions this morning and tomorrow.
"I am hoping my best will be good enough but there is competition for places," he said. "There is Jordan James, Andy Bracek and Jacob Emmitt and that is with injuries to Gil Dudson and Craig Kopczak.
"If I do find out I have made the squad then I can't imagine I will get much sleep tomorrow night!"
With James and Emmitt plying their trade in Super League and Bracek a seasoned international, Brown is facing an uphill battle to make the matchday squad.
However, the 27-year-old remains pleased with his showings in training over the last six weeks and feels he has done himself justice.
"Training has been really intense," he said when asked how the camps have compared with Championship One.
"For an hour it is a case of concentrating, but that is because the game against France will be like that.
"It has been good training with Super League players and you can tell, even in training, what it takes to play higher up.
"I think I have held my own and given myself a good chance of playing."
Brown, who is joined by brother Iwan, Kriss Wilkes and Christiaan Roets in the 21-man squad, has spent the last few days trying to get over his performance in the 30-28 victory over Oldham on Sunday.
He was left disappointed with his display and was worried that it might have cost him the chance to feature for Wales.
"I was hoping for a big game and was gutted that it didn't happen," he said.
"Up until the weekend I hadn't missed a tackle and within five minutes of coming off the bench on Sunday I missed two.
"I spoke with Clive (Griffiths) and he said to forget it, go away with Wales and return fresh for the week after."

Congestion Ahead: Japanese Automakers in Southeast Asia
For three decades Japanese auto producers, supported by the Japanese government, deployed with extraordinary success market and nonmarket strategies to access the small and fragmented but rapidly growing car markets of Southeast Asia. The last half-decade has presented a series of unexpected challenges, including extended recession and financial reform in Japan; the lingering effects of the financial crisis in Southeast Asia; and the entry of new competitors from South Korea, North America, and Europe. These pressures have split the industry into two. Leaders Toyota and Honda have defended and extended traditional Japanese production networks. Weaker players such as Nissan, Mitsubishi, and Suzuki have accepted subordination to the leading western firms, which are rationalizing their Japanese partners and using them to enter Japan and other Asian markets. This article explores production, trade, and investment data, industrial policies toward autos in Japan and Southeast Asia, and brief case studies of Toyota and Nissan to illustrate the challenges to, and varying responses of, Japanese auto producers in developing Asia. These firms remain committed to Southeast Asia, but the days of Japanese dominance are drawing to a close.

Majestic McIlroy wins USPGA title
Rory McIlroy fended off a fearsome chasing pack to land the USGPA title for the second time in a sensational final round Valhalla - and now he is on his way to becoming the greatest Irish sportsman of all-time.
As McIlroy moved past fellow Irishman Padraig Harrington's haul of three major titles to claim his fourth golden golfing gong and less than a month after he won the Open Championship for the first time, the wonderkid from Holywood joined the pantheon of golfing greats.
At the tender age of 25, McIlroy is the undisputed king of golf and while each of his major title wins have had their own magical quality, this may be the victory that gives him the most pleasure.
As local American heroes Rickie Fowler and Phil Mickelson (below) burned up the front nine and stormed past McIlroy at the top of the leader board, mere mortals would have melted under the pressure and faded in a tournament he has led from the first day.
Yet McIlroy has become the complete golfer in 2014 and having won major titles in runaway fashion and in a slightly edgy manner at Hoylake last month, this was the day when he confirmed his legend.
He started the day with a one-shot lead but dropped two shots in his first six holes and trailed Fowler by three as he reached the turn, Fowler having recovered from a bogey on the second with four birdies in his next five holes.
The par-five 10th had cost McIlroy a double-bogey seven on Thursday but three days later he hit a fairway wood to seven feet and holed the eagle putt to get back into contention in stunning fashion.
Mickelson then birdied the 11th to join his playing partner Fowler in the lead, the pair exchanging fist-bumps as they walked to the 12th tee, and Henrik Stenson made it a three-way tie with a birdie on the 13th.
Stenson had offered a prayer of thanks to the golfing Gods when his approach had just carried the water, only to three-putt the next to drop out of the lead and effectively end his chances of a first major title.
McIlroy missed good birdie chances on the 11th and 12th, the latter after seeing Mickelson in the group ahead hole from 30 feet across the green for an unlikely par, but the world number one made no mistake from eight feet on the 13th to get back into a share of the lead with five holes remaining.
Fowler was the first to crack under the pressure after a wayward tee shot led to a bogey on the 14th, and when Mickelson bogeyed the 16th, McIlroy was back in the outright lead for the first time since the third hole.
As the light quickly faded, McIlroy delivered the killer blow with a birdie from nine feet on the 17th to enjoy a two-shot lead playing the last.
The rush to finish the 18th hole before darkness took hold of Valhalla meant McIlroy made something of a mess of the 18th and nearly pumping his drive into the water with his drive, firing his second in the green side bunker, but he knew a par five would be enough to get the job done.
McIlroy emotion at the end said it all about what this meant to him, as his father joined him on the green to toast his moment of glory.
"I showed a lot of guts out there today to get the job done," said McIlroy. "I never dreamed I could have a summer like this, playing the best golf of my life.
"It was tough at the end. It was so dark and it was tough to get a perception of depth in the bunker shot I had on the last hole. I just wanted to get out of here today as a winner."
The best player in the world of golf is a major champion all over again and on this form, he is as likely to match Jack Nicklaus's record of 18 major titles as the fading Tiger Woods.
Rory McIlroy -16
Phil Mickelson -15
Rickie Fowler, Henrik Stenson -14

The United States of America vs. Tresa Lasley was just one lawsuit that crowded the docket of New Mexico's federal courts last year. But unlike many of the defendants against whom the US Attorney Kenneth Gonzales' office proudly touts its victories, Lasley is no murderer, child abuser or drug trafficker. She's a disabled grandmother who failed to keep up on her payments of $67,782 in student loans—and one of 13 New Mexicans Gonzales' office has quietly prosecuted for defaulting on their student loan debt since 2011.
Lasley, who lives near Farmington in the small town of Bloomfield (pop. 7,968), says she believes in "honoring my debt"—even when the money she borrowed didn't benefit her directly. In 1990, according to court documents, Lasley took out a $4,000 loan for her daughter to attend the Phoenix Institute of Technology. In 1996 and 1997, she took out another $9,655 in loans, this time for herself to attend Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colo.
Lasley defaulted on both loans in 1999, documents show. Eventually, in 2004, she entered into a repayment program offered by the federal government, consolidating a total of $29,104 in student loans. In her program application, Lasley, then 55, listed $564 in monthly Social Security disability payments as her sole source of income. She defaulted on the plan the next year.
Lasley used the student loans to finance her education in psychology at Fort Lewis College. She eventually got a bachelor's degree and had a promising internship at Napa State Hospital in California, she says, until major surgery on a bowel obstruction interrupted her career. Then, she says, "congestive heart failure kicked in." Now 64, she's unable to work.
"I still have days where I'm not OK," Lasley says. "I'm just not OK. And those days find me in my bed, resting."
Lasley's story offers perhaps a worst-case scenario for a generation of college students financing degrees with tens of thousands of dollars in student loans.
Lately, Congress hasn't been helping the situation. On Monday, after Congress failed to reach an agreement, interest rates doubled to 6.8 percent for undergraduate subsidized Stafford loans—need-based federal loans offered to millions of low-income students. House Republicans wanted to tie student-loan interest rates to the US Treasury's shifting interest rates. While they also proposed capping student-loan rates at 8.5 percent, Democrats in the Senate didn't like tying them to the whims of the financial markets, and instead sought to temporarily extend the previous 3.4 percent interest rate. President Barack Obama has espoused a plan somewhere in the middle.
If Congress acts, it could push student-loan interest rates back down to previous levels—but so far, that hasn't happened.
And it's no comfort to New Mexico students caught up in what some experts are calling the student loan bubble. Nationally, in 2012, student loan debt—now more than $1 trillion—surpassed credit card and auto debt. It's the only form of consumer debt that's increased since the financial collapse in 2008, according to a recent New York Federal Reserve study, and the largest form of consumer debt in the US besides mortgages.
While data on student debt was not available for all New Mexico campuses, the Project on Student Debt offers a glimpse at the challenges many graduates face. In 2011, for instance, students at Western New Mexico University graduated with an average debt of nearly $27,000. That's slightly higher than Santa Fe's St. John's College. There—also in 2011—the total cost of attendance was $53,586, according to the college, and graduates averaged $23,973 in debt. That's generally on par with the national average for 2011 graduates: $26,600 per student, a 5 percent increase over 2010.
"The accessibility of this kind of education is becoming more difficult," says Gabe Gomez, spokesman for St. John's. Gomez notes that in counseling students on financing their education, student loans are viewed as "a tool" in a larger package of scholarships and grants offered by St. John's and the state. "Loans are obviously part of the conversation," he says, "but it's not a solution."
Officials at Santa Fe Community College also cast student loans as a last resort. Scott Whitaker, the director of financial aid for SFCC, says about 1,200 of the college's 6,000 total students take out loans to finance their education. Most of those students graduate with about $7,000-$8,000 in debt.
Whitaker says his office is taking a new approach to teaching students about the intricacies of student loans. Previously, SFCC allowed students to take an online course about student loans before they borrowed. But Whitaker found that students typically rushed through answers, so SFCC is shifting to in-person counseling. Whitaker says they made the shift in an attempt to lower the college's default rate—the rate at which graduates default on their loans—which recently jumped to 12 percent from around 5 percent.
"I think that a lot of the students I see, when they're taking out student loans, they're really not thinking about the future," he says. "They're thinking about right now."
And as Congress squabbles about interest rates, lawmakers might be missing a wider point: students are taking out tens of thousands of dollars in principal—the amount of money actually being borrowed—each year. Even paying back $26,600 without interest can leave students on the hook for $2,660 annually, or about $222 a month, in a 10-year repayment plan.
Just ask Lasley: Even without any interest at all, she would still have to find a way to pay back a whopping $46,785.
To make matters worse, student loan debt—unlike other types of debt—is extremely difficult to discharge in bankruptcy proceedings.
Reflecting, Lasley says she "could have done things differently." But she's certain about one thing: Students, paradoxically, are being told they have to "borrow more money so that you can make more money."
"It almost feels like a scam," she says.

July 10th, 2014 (InsideCostaRica.com) The defamation trial of businessman Alberto Rodriguez Baldi, brought as the result of a complaint filed against him by former president Laura Chinchilla over statements he made on Facebook, will begin on Monday, according to an official statement.
The former president filed a defamation lawsuit against lawyer and hotelier Alberto Rodriguez Baldi in June of last year.
The lawsuit was filed just ten days after Rodriguez published a post on Facebook that stated that Chinchilla purchased land worth millions of dollars in Nicoya, Guanacaste.
Rodriguez, who is in the hotel business in La Fortuna de San Carlos, also stated that Chinchilla has business interests in wind energy.
On Facebook, Rodriguez responded at the time by saying that "Doña Laura is free to sue whoever she wishes," and that the case "seems a golden opportunity to question the President."
Communications Minister Carlos Roverssi said at the time that Chinchilla filed the lawsuit as a private citizen and would cover her own legal expenses. Roverssi said that Chinchilla "wants to make it very clear that the only compensation [Chinchilla and her husband] receives is her salary and her husband's pension."

The Japan Sumo Association will hold mini exhibition tournaments featuring sumo wrestlers from the top-tier makuuchi division during a five-day training tour of Taiwan scheduled for this summer, association officials said Tuesday.
The tournaments will be held at the newly built Taipei Dome, which was completed last December, on Aug. 19 and 20 and the winners of each day will meet in a playoff to decide the overall champion.
About 100 people, including wrestlers, stable masters and JSA officials, will participate in the trip which begins on Aug. 17 and is the first of its kind to Taiwan since the end of World War II.
The JSA has decided to forego a trip to Mongolia due to scheduling problems but will continue efforts to arrange a training tour of the country in the near future.
Takeo Oshima, a JSA director in charge of training tours, said the JSA officials involved with the matter have agreed to review the timing of a visit to Mongolia originally planned to begin July 31 this year.
"We concluded that it is unfeasible in light of the sumo wrestlers' health and fitness because they will have to wrestle in the Summer Grand Sumo Tournament until May 21 and then make a training tour of Taiwan in August," Oshima said.
JSA Chairman Kitanoumi said he would like to schedule a visit to Mongolia within the next few years, referring to the fact that two wrestlers from the country currently occupy the top two ranks — yokozuna Asashoryu and newly promoted ozeki Hakuho.

Life at Ithaca College's LA Center
Tuesday, February 15, 2011
I'm back, I'm back. I have a few posts that'll be put up in the next few days, but for the moment, we have a pressing issue to discuss.
It's going to rain … for more than a day. For more than three days for that matter. And the icing on the cake? It's going to rain on a Saturday. This is blasphemy; this is madness … this … is … Los Angeles? I guess so.
I do admit, we have all been extremely spoiled for the last six weeks, and all good things must come to and end. In all seriousness, it was just a matter of time.
But so I've found, there is a bright side here. According to Holly, Administrative Assistant at the Pendleton Center, it's good to have a few days of straight rain. In the past, when LA has been on a dry spell for weeks on end, fires have popped up, thus ruining the plans of SoCal residents, and Ithaca students. So putting it in perspective, a few days of harmless rain is far from some more dangerous scenarios.
And come to think of it, there's another bright side here. Having a rainy day during the weekend will actually force us to do something indoors. Because let's be honest, we'd be perfectly content spending every single weekend outside.
All in all, I think it comes down to this: karma. I've taken plenty of low blows at our friends and family back in Ithaca having to endure freezing temperatures, snow and ice, and now it's our turn for some bad weather. But hey, it's no biggie. We're still on vacation.
Tuesday, February 1, 2011
Despite us giving all the low blows to how amazing the weather is out here, we do care about everybody back in Ithaca.
For us Parkies, being creatures of habit and constantly checking the news, it's hard not to miss the developing story about the blizzard that's barreling down on the northeast.
So, on behalf of everybody here in LA, we send our well wishes to our friends and family in Ithaca and in all other parts of the country being affected by the storm.
I've posted a picture of an LA sunset from last week not to make you sad, but to give you a glimmer of hope that scenics like that will be making appearances in Ithaca just a few long, dark, cold months.
Now if that doesn't make you feel better, which it probably doesn't, the possibility of having a snow day tomorrow should!

Police were asked to look into allegations made by the Evening Standard about Ken Livingstone's crime and equality adviser, Lee Jasper.
He was later suspended from the Greater London Authority and resigned from the Trident black gun crime advisory board.
But police said no criminal allegations had been reported to them about him.
Mr Jasper has been at the centre of a row over alleged funding irregularities to community projects.
Black organisations
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "The Met is investigating six allegations of fraud that have been referred to us in connection with six organisations that received public funding.
"In addition we have received a request asking us to consider the conduct of one individual and his involvement with these organisations.
"To date there have been no criminal allegations reported to us in connection with this individual."
He added: "However matters of alleged misconduct that are not supported by evidence of criminal wrongdoing are not a matter for the police."
'Internal inquiry'
A spokesman for the mayor said: "It is quite clear that the charge of 'a tide of corruption' made by London Assembly member Richard Barnes on 13 December is a criminal allegation.
"He should either present evidence to the police for it immediately or formally withdraw it and apologise."
The allegations concern money paid by the London Development Agency (LDA), the mayor's business arm, to a number of black organisations.
One of them was Brixton Base which is run by Errol Walters, a friend and close associate of Mr Jasper.
An internal inquiry had cleared Mr Jasper of any wrongdoing.
