Han (ハン, Han) was a shinobi from Iwagakure and the jinchūriki of the Five-Tails. He was at some point captured by Akatsuki and had the Five-Tails removed from his body, causing Han's death.
Han was possibly one of the jinchūriki that loathed humanity, due to being neglected and hated by his village, as indicated by Akatsuki member Deidara.[3] Han makes a habit of leaving his right hand tucked inside his kimono. He was rather amicable and friendly when he first met Naruto Uzumaki appearing to be a calm and reserved individual, crediting his and fellow jinchūriki's attitudes due to them witnessing how Naruto had been recently treating Kurama.
AppearanceHan is a very tall man, seen as the physically largest jinchūriki, easily standing a head taller than Killer B. He is also heavily armoured, wearing what is called "Steam Armour" (蒸気の鎧, Jōki no Yoroi) with a furnace on the back that emits steam. He has light brown eyes and his armour extends all the way to the bottom half of his face, covering it up. Underneath the armour covering the bottom half of his face, he wears a white cloth which also covers both sides of his face and the top of his head. Aside from his red armour, he also wears a red kasa (conical straw hat) over the white cloth and it seems to be composed of the same material of his armour and furnace. He wears his Iwagakure forehead protector on a black cloth, and over his armour, Han wears a black gi, with the sleeves seemingly torn off and black gloves. He also wears what seems to be a bronze-coloured ring around his neck which he wears over his red armour. Also, the armour covering his arms and torso is plated.
Han was a powerful shinobi, enough to be reincarnated by Kabuto Yakushi. After his reincarnation and serving as one of Tobi's Six Paths of Pain, Han is seen with both the Sharingan and Rinnegan. Combining the perceptual and predictive abilities of the former with the shared field of vision ability of the latter, allowed Han to use his attacks in a more precise and coordinated fashion as well as react to enemy attacks more efficiently, both individually and in conjunction and with the other jinchūriki.
Physical Prowess and Nature Transformation
Han's fighting style seemed to revolve around taijutsu. He covered his body in a special armour with a furnace on his back that stores large amounts of steam, borrowed from Kokuō's Boil Release, the simultaneous mixture fire and water-natured chakra, which boils Han's chakra to the highest temperature. By regulating the amount and pressure of the steam, Han can severely magnify his physical strength and the force behind his taijutsu attacks. The power behind his steam-enhanced strength is enough to send opponents flying away with a single attack. When his normal attacks are not strong enough, he uses the steam to bolster them, taking his opponents by surprise. This was seen when he sent Naruto in his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode flying into Killer B with such force that both were launched across a significant distance in the forest.
Jinchūriki Transformations
Main article: Jinchūriki Forms
As Kokuō's jinchūriki, Han is granted a significant amount of chakra and stamina from the beast. The full extent of his control is unknown, but he could form at least one of the beast's tails upon his reincarnation.[4] Later on, when attacked and immobilised by B's ink clone, Han transformed into his 'Version 2' form to escape being sealed. He was also able to fully transform into Kokuō, while in this state Han displayed strong ramming power, using his horns to heavily wound the Eight-Tails and B as well sending them back a considerable distance. He is also able to utilise chakra arms in his Version 2 form like most other jinchūriki.
Part II
Fourth Shinobi World War: Confrontation
In preparation for the Fourth Shinobi World War, Han was reincarnated by Kabuto Yakushi to fight against the Allied Shinobi Forces, before being mobilised alongside the other deceased jinchūriki. As dawn broke on the second day of war, it was revealed that Tobi had turned the reincarnated jinchūriki into his own customised Six Paths of Pain, with each having a Rinnegan and Sharingan in place of their left and right eyes respectively. Each jinchūriki also had their respective tailed beast resealed within them and a chakra receiver embedded into their body.
Fourth Shinobi World War: Climax
Han later travelled together with Tobi, in pursuit of Naruto Uzumaki and Killer B. Encountering their targets, the reincarnated jinchūriki were sent into battle. With the enemy blinded by Fū's technique, Han attacks them directly alongside Yugito Nii, where he clashed with Naruto. When his punch was blocked, he released steam from his armour and overwhelmed Naruto with his strength. However, when this initial assault failed, he, like the others, unleashed the power of their respective tailed beast by materialising the first of its tails.
As Naruto tried to destroy the chakra receiver embedded in Rōshi's chest, Han intercepted him with a steam-enhanced kick, sending him hurtling backwards. Incapacitated in the wake of the Eight-Tails' devastating attack, after B's recent transformation, Han was then restrained by the latter's sealing technique. However, before the sealing's completion, he managed to escape by adopting his Version 2 form. Han then assumed his full Five-Tails form and proceeded to gore the Eight-Tails.
When the Five-Tails temporarily regained control of itself and tries to attack Tobi, after Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy's intervention, the beast was restrained and forced to revert to Han's Version 2 form. Regrouping with the other reincarnated jinchūriki, Han then charged towards Naruto but was instead intercepted by Kakashi and Guy. Confronting the Konohagakure jōnin, he took advantage of the Six-Tails' Wisdom Wolf Decay bearing down upon the pair, creating multiple chakra arms in preparation to attack them. However, when these are quickly severed by Kakashi, the jinchūriki ready themselves for another attack. As Son Gokū was resealed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Han was forced to re-enter his full tailed beast form, as Tobi prepared to go all-out.
Unleashing a Tailed Beast Ball along with the others, the jinchūriki instead resorted to a direct assault when these attacks are deflected by Naruto, only to then be repelled as the latter adopted his Tailed Beast Mode. In the resulting chaos, Han attempted to gore the Eight-Tails again, but in a complete reversal, finds himself sent reeling. With this, the rival beasts regrouped and prepared a collaborative Tailed Beast Ball, launching it towards their opponents only to have it diverted by an opposing one.
Attempting to remove the opposition's chakra receivers in the ensuing blast, Naruto enters the joint consciousness of the tailed beasts, where he met Han along with the other jinchūriki and their respective beasts. During this encounter, he told them how they had only happily gathered together after Son and Rōshi's disappearance, thanks to Naruto. With this, Han introduced himself alongside his tailed beast, Kokuō. After Kokuō was resealed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Han and the other jinchūriki's unconscious bodies were collected by B and held in Gyūki's tentacles. With the release of the Impure World Reincarnation, Han and the others were enveloped in a light of sorts before their bodies started to deconstruct and Han's soul returned to the afterlife.

- In order to prevent the jinchūriki from turning traitor, it is tradition for the host to be selected from the family of the village's own Kage. Due to this, Han may have been connected to one of the Tsuchikage.
- Han was possibly one of the jinchūriki that were captured before Gaara.[3]

Labor is inviting its own downfall
Whether there will be a leadership coup against Julia Gillard, by Kevin Rudd or anyone else, I have no idea. But journalists are not making up reports of poor party morale and despair. Heavy defeat six months hence now seems inevitable.
When luck and momentum are against you, adversity piles up. Power, authority and legitimacy are drifting away from Gillard's government, but also from her administration.
The small ''g'' government - the bureaucracy - has not suddenly ceased to be neutral or professional; nor is it already sidling up to its future Liberal and National party ministers. But the modern administration can smell death a good deal better and a good deal more quickly than most. All are now imagining how they will be responding to the next government's needs, and briefing themselves on just what those needs are.
The Canberra Times has carried a number of reports recently about how ministerial offices are showing increased signs of hesitancy, indecision, paralysis of will and uncertainty about the future. Even in its death throes Labor is not seeking help, but looking for others to blame.
It can hardly be a surprise that able and ambitious bureaucrats are taking extra care about being apolitical, and manifest a little less enthusiasm for government stunts and whacko ideas. All the more so when some of the minder class seems to think that the poor odour of government is a consequence of poor administration, rather than poor philosophy, management and sense of direction - matters now directed almost entirely from Capital Hill - indeed, as often as not, from the prime minister's private office.
Meanwhile, the pratfalls, paralysis and constant speculation - each feeding on the other - mean the engine of government is slowing, and the bureaucracy is shifting away from being an academy of ideas. Those waiting at the counter for their benefits will notice no difference. But those serving ministers are finding them increasingly distracted, peevish, and inclined to blame and criticise, increasingly interested not in the boring business of routine administration, or in long-term planning, but on gimmicks that might help this government get out of its hole.
This is a time very similar to that described by then secretary of Treasury, Ken Henry, in a speech to Treasury officers six months before Howard lost power. It had not been a speech that Henry had expected to see leaked, and he was frank and cynical, though not in the partisan sense for which he was accused.
He had congratulated officers on a few achievements, but reflected, sombrely, that Treasury had been bypassed in a few recent Howard government announcements, particularly on water reform and climate change. He did not say, but did not have to, that this had not been because Treasury had lost arguments on the merits, but because Howard had consciously excluded them from the debate.
''All of us would wish we had been listened to more attentively over the past several years in both these areas,'' Henry said. ''There is no doubt that policy outcomes would have been far superior had our views been more influential.''
He warned that Treasury could not necessarily expect to be listened to or to win arguments as a matter of course. It had to have the best arguments, and to put them well. It had to be there when the arguments were taking place. Treasury officers had to remember good policy was about making choices - and putting extra resources, or people, or money into one area was usually at the expense of withdrawing it elsewhere.
''In a pre-election period, we need to be particularly vigilant in balancing our duty to be responsive to our ministers with the need to be non-partisan, non-political in the advice we provide,'' he said. ''Divisions will be under pressure to respond to the growing number of policy proposals . . . at this time there is a greater than usual risk of the development of policy proposals that are, frankly, bad.
''More so than at other times, we need to be mindful of the high opportunity cost of proposed policy actions, to advocate sound and wellbeing-enhancing policy actions - capacity-building measures, better functioning markets, less system complexity and greater fiscal discipline - and to educate others on the full implications of policy interventions in the current economic circumstances,'' he said, adding that ''both the probability and the cost of policy error in the current circumstances are high.''
Henry was not talking of a caretaker period. He was simply talking about a political cycle - a point which is, right now, at about the same time out from a vote. In 2007, and today, there was a whiff about the party in power - though the stench about Howard was minuscule compared with that about Labor now.
The sense of doom is compounded by Gillard's seeming inability to make the luck run her way. She is not in control of the agenda, or even of her own party. Abbott and his team are outgunning Labor, and Labor's line of attack - which is pretty much confined to monstering Abbott and warning of disasters he will cause - is not being pressed successfully, chiefly because of the ineptness of the salespeople. It cannot be for lack of resources, for never in the history of federation has a governing party had as many well-paid partisan attack people on the public payroll. This is not a government with a communications problem, but a government with no message to communicate.
The disaster-in-waiting is not a consequence of Gillard's having announced the election date, which was, more or less, the date expected anyway. Nor is it a function of the so-called perpetual election campaign. In fact the opposition is marking time, content to watch Gillard and her government implode.
But the working environment - and trust between ministers and departments - is made worse by the virtual certainty that a good deal of the political news over the next six months is going to be very bad for Labor - particularly in NSW. The Obeid-Macdonald message will run and run, and in the process more figures from the NSW Right, including figures who have been very close to Julia Gillard will have their reputations further ruined, if that is possible. What is in prospect is not only the further contamination of the ''federal Labor brand'' by the stench from the NSW Labor brand, but the identification of means by which some of the more corrupt players corrupted and poisoned federal as well as state processes. The interests of Eddie Obeid and his faction in dominating decision-making and preselections, and in bullying those they had chosen, was not confined to state seats. Nor was the rorting of unions - such as the Health Services Union - focused only to self-enrichment: it was equally concerned with seats in Parliament.
The NSW implosion is not an unhappy coincidence. Gillard has contributed by her own close involvement in the factional system, and by the way that she let her ambition fall hostage to just the NSW, Queensland and Victorian right-wing power brokers that the electorate will be gunning for. Neither as Prime Minister nor before has Gillard given any serious support to fundamental party reform; nor will the cosmetic changes being advocated by organisers hoping to repackage themselves as reformers make any difference. It is doubtful that reaching back into the past, or into the future, can prevent Labor's fate, but it may make the scale of it less certain.

Remembering Don Haskins
Former Air Force basketball coach Reggie Minton last spoke to his dear friend Don Haskins on Thursday. Minton sensed the time was near.
"He wasn't happy," said the deputy executive director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches.
Tuesday, Minton was en route to El Paso for a final farewell to his larger-than-life mentor.
Yes, Haskins made his national name when he placed an all-black lineup on the floor to win the 1966 Final Four championship game against tradition-bound and very white Kentucky. Forty years later, the "Glory Road" team was finally given its overdue recognition at halftime of the title game two years ago.
But up and down I-25 Front Range corridor Haskins was just "one of the boys" in the glory days of the WAC. He shuffled into Colorado Springs, Fort Collins and Laramie, chatted with the host school sports information directors and local media. He changed from his plaid wool shirts into a starched white dress shirt with a clip on tie. Usually before his players changed, he was back in his hunting lodge shirt.
Friendships with coaches superceded any officiating calls, wins or losses. "There was a camaraderie then. There's less of it today. Maybe it's the big contracts," Minton said.
The Mountain West Conference, comprised of former WAC schools, is celebrating its 10th year. Each school is at least two coaches removed from the last coach to face Haskins in the mid-to-late 90's. The proud heritage is fading.
That's why is was so good to chat with Minton this week and reminisce. We recalled the grace Haskins showed when he lost at Air Force at a time no one was "supposed" to lose to Air Force. AFA had three upsets over UTEP from 1992-1998. The 1992 Miners team advanced to the Sweet 16.
It's hard to believe UTEP has gone through four coaches since Haskins retired in 1999 when Haskins was there 38 years. "He was meant for El Paso," said Minton. "He was cut from a special cloth."
Any number of coaches have since stopped by the neighborhood, some thinking they were legends in the making.
There was only one real deal. Rest in peace, dear coach.

This log store keeps on needing filled (as they like to grammaticise in Scotland).At the moment I seem to be mostly cutting and moving wood around. The logs above are old. From about 3 or 4 years ago cuttings. Straight-grained and ash, but no longer use for much else than fire logs. I'm needing to move them out of the Bodgery wood pile to make room for more recent stuff, like this ash I collected this morning at 7:20am.
Here it is in the wild, on the canal bank. I had to do a 90 degree right-hand turn from a busy trunk road into a fairly narrow field gate opening, hence the early hour.
You can see why one of them was taken down by contractors to the canal trust, going hollow. You may be able to make out a shiny round label on one of the logs. It has a number on it and shows where there is a geocache. I could see the stash between the roots. This is going to cause a few people some consternation when they come hunting for it. Seemed a pity that some of the good-sized straight-grained stuff was going to end up as logs or rot away.
Making progress with this beech limb, the wallers can get at the repair work now. Hope they do a lot better job than this mess, a bit further along the road:
Right next to this is a rather jauntily leaning beech tree, that really ought to come down before it falls on the road. I'm finding out about closing the road for a couple of hours to take it down.
I guess it got a bit carried away with splitting its stem, and then the SW gales have been at it.
The wood on the left is where all that action is. The wood is gradually creeping up the moor side, you should be able to make out the stems of the silver birches climbing up the hill toward the sky-line. Well at least it used to be all silver birches, but now things are changing a bit.
Here's a pretty well established oak tree (with ivy creeping up it). And in the back ground the underwoods are starting up – small holly bush, good and green in Winter.
Ah Winter, we are on its tail end here, but my walk was peppered with hail showers.
I was leaning over here to get a look at yet another tree that's fallen on top of a wall needing removed (as they might say…). One benefit of living in a valley is that you can see what weather is coming next.
The build up of the new woodland now also includes some ash, here are a couple of little saplings.
See how the floor is changing as the canopy of this beech tree fills out and blocks the light. That's bilberry bushes retreating.
Here's some more regeneration; an oak tree which has almost died with dead branches sticking out of its canopy. But regeneration is coming along with lots of new growth closer in to the stem of the tree. It almost looks like one tree behind another. Known as a stag's horn oak when those dead branches poke out of the top.
Back at the ranch, hedge laying is finished, just need to burn the brash.
And functional things like guttering, doors, electricity and drains are all coming along at the outstead.

Blade Kitten's level design is also a missed opportunity in the visual area. Though there are plenty of hidden areas and things to explore, none of it looks particularly interesting. Levels generally find a comfortable color scheme, insert a few new elements (like a building and a few new baddies), and stretch these few elements into an overarching world. This type of visual scheme is not only boring to look at, but can also be disorienting, as backtracking to similar areas can get you seriously lost if you are trying to find a certain area that looks like another part of the stage.
The only aspect of Blade Kitten that is consistently good is the animated cutscenes. Although most of these are brief with forgettable dialogue, the cutscenes are animated in a very high-quality cel-shaded style. All the animations are fluid, and the game really hits all the right notes for the anime style they wanted. The main characters feature some fun facial expressions and lightning-fast movement. However, even the cutscenes are hampered by poor voicework, which often comes across as wooden and completely unemotional.
As far as replay value is concerned, Blade Kitten definitely doesn't have much going for it. Although the game has several unlockable items, including new weapons, costumes, and battle-enhancing consumables, the game's currency is dispersed a little too liberally, and it is very possible to unlock all of this content before you've even reached the halfway point. This might be a good thing if you are just trying to run through the game, but if you are looking for a game you can play and then explore, Blade Kitten doesn't have much for you.
Blade Kitten certainly could have been a good game. It started out promising, and I was excited to experience an old-school platforming title with fun characters that played off the anime/manga tropes we've all seen over the years. However, what I got was a game with bad mechanics, repetitive level design, and little incentive to keep playing past the first few levels. If you are looking for a good platformer on your digital distribution network, there are plenty of choices, but I would recommend staying away from this kitten, as she seems to be a little misguided.

I hope you are not refering to me? I would have started a website to promote a book or products and that I haven't. Also a spammer would give the web address which I didn't. Not everyone is it for the money, some do actually want to help and support others, as we know how annouying and restricting this condition is.
hi Nat, no not at all. There have been about 10 user accounts setup by a person sole bent on promoting this book and only this book. They have emailed members directly and repeatedly, hence I needed to disable emailing users directly.

I'm slowly reading the New Jersey chiropractor's book. I don't agree with everything in there, but his book is motivating me to eat better, work on increasing elimination, not indulge in negative thinking patterns, etc.
It might be interesting to let the idiot spammers do their thing, and let the good folks here directly fend off the spammers, and put them in their place. Have you thought of trying that?
In the chiro's book, he says that he didn't write the book until he had quite a few years of good results of his psoriasis patients trying his dietary suggestions, etc.
In his book, he says he's for anything that helps, including sunshine, phototherapy, various salves, salt water bathing, etc.
He seems to be less threatened by your website's phototherapy products, than your website seems to be, about his book. Am I misreading what you've written?
Anyway, good luck to you, and good luck to all!
I'm trying everything, not just one thing.

Praise for The Rite
"There are chilling descriptions of exorcists battling demons in The Rite … Baglio has strong storytelling skills, and constructs a narrative that travels a long distance quickly."
– LA Times
"Matt Baglio's book is a wake-up call. It smashes the many myths created by Hollywood movies and other amateurs on the subject about exorcism and the role of the exorcist in the Catholic Church."
— Father Basil Cole, O.P., professor of moral and spiritual theology of the Pontifical Faculty at the Dominican House of Studies, Washington, D.C.
"Journalist Balgio follows a Catholic priest through the latter' s training to become an exorcist in this incisive look at the church's rite of exorcism and its use in contemporary life. Baglio began delving into the topic after hearing about a course at a Vatican-affiliated university, where he met and befriended the Rev. Gary Thomas, a priest in the diocese of San Jose, Calif. Thomas took the exorcism course at the request of his bishop and subsequently apprenticed himself to a seasoned exorcist. Keenly aware of the misunderstanding that abounds about exorcism through film images, Baglio sets about dispelling misconceptions and does so skillfully, separating the real from the imaginary in the mysterious and unsettling sphere of the demonic. Both Thomas and Baglio were changed by their exposure to the rite. Thomas grew spiritually during the process, which bolstered his desire to help his parishioners, and Baglio, previously a nominal Catholic, reconnected with his faith. For anyone seeking a serious and very human examination of this fascinating subject, one that surpasses the sensational, this is absorbing and enlightening reading."
— Publishers Weekly, starred review
"The Rite is in my opinion one of the best books ever written on the topic of exorcism. I have read very few books that give a description as appropriate, as precise, or as detailed, and the author's deep knowledge of the subject makes it a true instrument of knowledge useful for many people."
– Fr. José Antonio Fortea, author of Interview With an Exorcist: An Insider's Look at the Devil, Demonic Possession, and the Path to Deliverance
"Truth is stranger than fiction … and far more terrifying. Forget what Hollywood tells you about demonic possession and exorcism; The Rite will open your eyes to the awesome truth about such things. I've been investigating paranormal events for some time, but this book taught me much that I didn't know about the timeless battle for the human soul waged between the forces of good and evil. Fascinating, inspiring, and scary, a great read."
— John Kachuba, author of Ghosthunters: On the Trail of Mediums, Dowsers, Spirit Seekers, and Other Investigators of America's Paranormal World
"What sets Baglio's book apart from many other contemporary works on the same subject is its sober, measured tone and steady refusal to sensationalize the subject."
– Amy Wellborn

Options for Heart Valve Repair
The goal of heart valve surgery is to cure the problem or lengthen life by restoring the function of your heart valves, whether they are diseased or damaged.
Repair or Replace?
When possible, it's generally best to repair a valve and preserve a person's own tissue in the heart. However, when the tissue is too damaged, a replacement valve may be used from another human heart, an animal or a manufactured mechanical valve.
Repair Procedure: Balloon Valvuloplasty
View an animation of valvuloplasty.
For many, valve tightness can be relieved during a procedure called balloon valvuloplasty. It is done as part of a cardiac catheterization, which is less invasive than general surgery or open heart surgery.
In a balloon valvuloplasty, a small catheter holding an expandable balloon is threaded into the heart and placed into the tightened valve. Next, the balloon is expanded to stretch open the valve and separate the leaflets.
In some cases the valve cannot be successfully treated by balloon valvuloplasty, and a different surgical treatment is needed to open the valve and allow better blood flow.
Treatment results can vary depending on the experience and training of your medical care team; hospitals can become very proficient at managing care around certain conditions, too. When a valve problem is complex, it is very important to choose an experienced team to do the repair.
How do I find a doctor experienced in treating valve disease?
Treatment for heart valve problems may require you to visit a highly specialized cardiologist or surgeon. Many times family practitioners or general cardiologists – who are qualified to treat a variety of heart problems – may feel more comfortable referring valve disease patients to a "specialist" who focuses almost exclusively on heart valve problems and repair.

"I love working with the feminine form. The female embodies so much in terms of imagery and symbolism. For things such as nature, oppression, beauty, love, emotion, sexuality there are so many layers and facets one can glean from representing the woman. As I approach the idea of femininity I bring with it my own experiences growing up as a woman and the difficulties and struggles that I have fought. The psychology of how women are portrayed in art and the media are amplified and exposed in my work. In turn, I've reinterpreted my experiences and how women are portrayed in today's society to also extend to how it seems that we as individuals and as a race have objectified, commodified and exploited women, animals, and nature.

Brett was Striking
Good to see Brett and Chase come through last night in DC.
Brett threw strikes and that was the difference. Of the 88 pitches, 63 were strikes. He had only two strikeouts but nine ground ball and nine fly ball outs. He is the key pitcher on the staff.
Chase delivered the long ball and also hit the ball hard in his other at-bats.
Tim Redding tonight. He's been tough on us.
J-Roll numbers
Scott Lauber had an interesting note in Sunday's Wilmington News-Journal, which has been updated.
When Rollins scores a run, the Phillies are 26-8 this season. Last year: 67-34. In his career: 405-195.
Rollins was on base for Chase's homer.
Players of the Week
A pair of first-year players are the winners of last week's Minor League Player and Pitcher of the Week in the Phillies system:
This Date
In Phillies history……….
1995 Richie Ashburn and Mike Schmidt are inducted in Hall of Fame in Cooperstown before estimated 25,000, a record. That was a day that will be forever etched in our memory.

Pictures from the annual Coney Island parade.
Coney Island has always had a flair for the old-fashioned, with its wooden roller coaster and parachute jump. The Mermaid Parade is no exception.
The event - dubbed "Brooklyn's answer to Mardi Gras" by the New York Daily News - turned 30 this year. Parade-goers were just as salacious as ever, decked out in hand-made costumes (some of which consisted mostly of body paint) of mermaids and various other sea creatures. Floats of lighthouses and amusement rides (seriously! One of the FAQ questions on the parade's official website asks "I'm building a float that's a 1:1 model of the Parachute Jump. Will I have clearance to march it on the street?") also abound.
Each year, a celebrity king and queen rule over the proceedings "cutting through Ribbons representing the seasons, and tossing fruit into the Atlantic to appease the Sea Gods," according to the parade website. Judges hand out prizes for the best outfits, and they are not above reproach. Again, according to the site:
Our Judges are paradigms of fine jurisprudence, and as such actively discourage all bribes. Having said that, in year's past there have been isolated incidences of bribery. And coincidentally it seems many of those proffering the best bribes seems to often go home with the top awards. And it is also a coincidence that many of those awards appear to be a bit greasy -- this clearly being a function of the culinary delights of Coney rather than some kind of metaphorical greasy palm.
Below, pictures of the parade by Reuters photographer Eric Thayer.

The California Attorney General's office today announced that Kevin Bollaert, one of the operators of now-defunct revenge porn site YouGotPosted, was arrested and charged in a San Diego state court with thirty-one felony counts of identity theft and extortion. The complaint is here, but the arrest warrant contains much greater detail linking Bollaert to the site and its extortionate companion, "ChangeMyReputation.com". I wrote in some detail about the ties between Bollaert, YouGotPosted, and the "independent takedown" website "ChangeMyReputation" last December.
These are first criminal charges filed against the operator of a revenge porn site in the United States. On first blush, although criminal law is by no means my forte, the complaint against Bollaert will be difficult to sustain: the Communications Decency Act bars certain state-level criminal charges against the operators of a website, assuming the identity theft charges treat Bollaert as the speaker (as opposed to the persons who provided the nude photos to him). Whether the extortion charges are barred by the CDA is a more complicated question.
Notably, the complaint repeatedly references a co-conspirator, and the arrest warrant notes that the site's other proprietor, Eric Chanson, asked that Bollaert not associate Chanson's name with the site in July of 2013. In August, Chanson told a Federal court that he had sold his share in the YouGotPosted enterprise to Bollaert in March. I am unaware of any information publicly available in July 2013 that would tie Chanson to the site, so it's unclear why he would send such an email unless he were still somehow involved.
This is only the summit of Bollaert's legal woes. In September, Bollaert and his company, Blue Mist Media, were hit with a $300,000 default judgment by a Federal court in Michigan.
More on this story as it develops and I have time to analyze the complaint against Bollaert.

Hurricanes Katrina and Rita had a huge impact on the populations within Gulf Coast region for the second half of 2005. Katrina also significantly impacted the Louisiana Cancer Registry's ability to report data for that time period. In an effort to provide the most accurate and complete data and statistics possible, the SEER Program made several changes for the releases of data and statistics that include cases diagnosed in 2005.
SEER Research Database
Because of the impact on Louisiana's population for the July - December 2005 time period, SEER excluded Louisiana cases diagnosed for that six month time period. By definition, Louisiana cases for 2005 are only included in SEER's Research Database if they were diagnosed in the first half of 2005 (January - June). The Hurricane Katrina Impacted Louisiana Cases are provided with the data, but they are considered supplemental data and are not typically reported by SEER. In SEER*Stat, Louisiana cases are treated differently by session type:
- For prevalence calculations and incidence-based mortality databases, all Louisiana cases are excluded for all years by default.
- For multiple primary standardized incidence (and mortality) ratios, all Louisiana cases for all years are included.
- For all other sessions, including incidence rates, survival, left-truncated life tables, frequencies, and case listings, SEER excludes Louisiana cases diagnosed for the six month period, July-December 2005, by default.
Katrina/Rita Population Adjustment
The U.S. populations included with the data release have been adjusted for the population shifts due to hurricanes Katrina and Rita for 62 counties and parishes in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas (See U.S. Population Data for more information).
Once the populations were adjusted for the counties and parishes within the four states, the resulting total U.S. population was lower than the July 1 total U.S. population. The difference represents people displaced by the hurricanes who went to other parts of the U.S. A separate dummy state has been introduced that represents these people. It is labeled "Hurricane Katrina/Rita Evacuees - Populations Only - 2005" and is included by default in rate calculations over the total U.S. There is no population adjustment for prevalence databases.
Statistical Reporting with the Population Adjustment
Using SEER Incidence Data
Although each incidence database distributed with SEER*Stat includes "<Katrina/Rita Population Adjustment>" in the name, these adjustments are only applicable to the SEER 18 and SEER 21 Registries data, which include Louisiana.
Using U.S. Mortality Data
When SEER reports on the total U.S., populations for the dummy state created to represent the evacuees, " Hurricane Katrina/Rita Evacuees - Populations Only - 2005", are included in the analyses. Based on an analysis of Postal Service, ESRI data by the Los Angeles Times1, we know that the majority of those evacuees relocated to the following eight states: Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, or Florida. When reported rates include those eight states, " Hurricane Katrina/Rita Evacuees - Populations Only - 2005" are included in the analyses. If one or more of those states is excluded, then the evacuees are also excluded.

Banana Yogurt Muffins and Little Banana Bread Loaf
How many banana bread and banana recipes does one person need? If you're like me, more than thirty.
I don't think it's possible to have too many because there's always a banana about to over-ripen.
I didn't have a recipe for banana muffins and it was high time to post one. Well, I do have one for Banana Nut Muffins (vegan, gluten-free) but it's from 2009 and life, cooking skills, and photography skills have changed dramatically since then and I was overdue for an update. Truthfully, most of my banana bread recipes can be made as muffins rather than loaves but I normally just bake loaves.
One reason I don't make many muffins or cupcakes is because I find them to fussy to deal with. I'd rather bake a whole loaf of bread or a whole cake, than individual muffins or cupcakes. Filling up the liners, trying to not drip batter all over the pan, and then decorating each individually is time-consuming and tedious. I like to slap it all in a big pan and be done, but I made an exception for these. I made them before I even knew it was National Banana Bread Day on February 23.
The beauty of the recipe is that it goes from ingredients-in-pantry to muffin-in-mouth in 30 minutes and your house smells ridiculously amazing for the rest of the day. Something about banana bread baking is just so comforting and is a sure-fire way to get the family racing into the kitchen. The batter is made in one bowl, by hand, which saves on dishes. I try not to spend my weekend mornings doing baking dishes.
And because I baked sprinkles right in, I didn't have to worry about glazing, frosting, or decorating them, another time-saver. Although muffins don't technically need to be decorated, cupcakes definitely do. No one wants a bald cupcake and even with muffins, usually they're a little dry or boring and need a glaze to jazz them up.
Muffins are prone to dryness, which is a total deal-breaker, but I assure you these aren't dry at all. Bananas do such a fabulous job of keeping batter moist and soft, and I also used Greek yogurt, another workhorse in the tenderizing and moistening department.
To make the muffins, add two-and-one-half bananas to a large mixing bowl. I used three bananas total; mashed 2 1/2 and the remaining half-banana is reserved, sliced and later garnishes the top of the little loaf before baking. I made 1 dozen muffins and a little loaf since I had a bit more batter than I had muffin pans or patience.
Mash bananas with a fork, and then an egg, sugars, yogurt, oil, vanilla, cinnamon, and whisk it all together. I used the new banana Low-Fat Chobani Greek Yogurt. I think they made it just so people could bake banana bread with it. It's good on it's own, but it's tailor-made and perfect for baking. It helped boost the banana flavor of the muffins, but use what you can find.
Sour cream will work and if using it, consider adding an extra tablespoon or two of granulated sugar since the yogurt is sweetened. When you crack the seal on your yogurt or sour cream, if it has separated into a solid with water on top, pour off the water before adding the solid to the batter. That pure, thick, creamy yogurt or sour cream is what you're really after.
I used oil rather than butter because nothing says soft and moist like an oil-based muffin, bread, or cake. I was going to add butter a bit of butter for flavor, but decided to omit it in an effort to keep things relatively healthy and it wasn't missed at all.
Add the dry ingredients and fold them in until just combined, making sure to not overmix so you don't create tough, rubbery muffins. The less you mix, the less you develop the gluten, which translates to softer and more delicate muffins. They're not light and airy; the bananas, yogurt, and oil keep them dense, but they are soft, fluffy, and not tough in the least.
Pour the batter into a lined 12-cup muffin pan, filling each cup three-quarters full. The old rule of thumb about filling two-thirds full creates short, squat, and skimpy-looking muffins. For bigger, puffier, bakery-style muffins with a bigger muffin top, fill the cavity three-quarters full. If you overfill slightly, the worst that can happen is the batter rises while baking and the overage rests and bakes on the muffin pan. Hello muffin top.
Don't you just want to rip that little mushroom cap right off? I created Muffin Top Bread so I could have a whole loaf that tastes like muffin tops so that I don't have to dismember muffins.
I put a pinch of sprinkles in the center of each muffin before baking, which helps dress up the muffins so they don't look bald and bare after baking. They also add a tiny bit of texture and sweetness, and if you have kids, eyes will light up. It's a scant teaspoon well spent.
After filling the dozen liners, I had enough batter for probably 6 more muffins but I was muffin'ed out. I reached for my trusty 8-by-4-inch baking pan and poured in the remaining batter. I sliced the reserved half banana into thin rounds, placed them on the surface, and sprinkled away.
I baked the muffins at 350F for 20 minutes, and the loaf for 30 minutes, rotating pans once midway through baking. When done, the muffin tops and surface of the loaf should be set, springy to the touch, and a toothpick inserted will come out clean.
I served Strawberry Butter with them and it stellar. Strawberries, bananas, and sprinkles are a winning trifecta.
The muffins are about as sweet as regular banana bread and make for a healthier breakfast option. One cup of sugar spread over 12 muffins and a loaf of bread isn't excessive in the least, and coupled with the yogurt, they're on the healthier side. I'm sure you could veganize them by substituting a flax egg and using a soy-based yogurt. I'm sure you could use applesauce, whole wheat flour, and all sorts of other things to make them lighter, lower, healthier, and so forth. But I'd rather not. I loved them just as they were.
My husband loves muffins and isn't really a cookie guy. What a shame. He loved these. They're soft, tender, moist, and fluffy; thanks to the softening and moistening powers of yogurt and bananas. The crumb was dense and well-formed, so much so that when ripped in half, the halves wanted to stay hinged and I had to lightly tug to separate them, a true testament to the moistness.
I love the taste and sensation of little sprinkles in my teeth, especially in between a few chunkier bites of banana. I always mash my bananas with a fork and don't over-mash so they stay a little chunkier and retain some texture.
The little loaf baked up adorably and I used it as the bread for mini peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Why not.
I can never have too many recipes for banana bread. Or banana anything.
Banana Yogurt Muffins and Little Banana Bread Loaf
These muffins are so moist, tender and soft, thanks to the addition of Greek yogurt. The batter is make in one bowl, by hand, in mere minutes and the muffins go from idea to mixing bowl to oven to mouth all in under 30 minutes. Because there's sprinkles baked right in, no need to bother with a glaze. The batter makes enough for 12 standard muffins plus 1 small 8×4 loaf, or bake as about 18 muffins. I like baking the extra batter as a loaf because it's easy to wrap it up and freeze for a rainy day.
1 to 1 1/4 cups mashed banana (3 medium/large ripe bananas)
1 large egg
6 ounces Greek yogurt (I used Lowfat banana Chobani, sour cream may be substituted))
1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 to 2 teaspoons cinnamon, or to taste
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
pinch salt, optional and to taste
about 1/4 cup sprinkles, divided; optional but recommended
- Preheat oven to 350F, line a 12-count muffin pan with liners or spray with floured cooking spray; set aside. Recipe make about 18 muffins so either prepare a second muffin pan or spray an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan with floured cooking spray; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash 2 1/2 of the 3 bananas, reserving half of one banana for garnishing the little loaf. Add the egg, yogurt (if using sour cream, add an additional 2 to 3 tablespoons granulated sugar to compensate because the yogurt is sweetened), oil, sugars, vanilla, cinnamon, and whisk to incorporate. Mixture will be lumpy because of the banana chunks.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, optional salt, and mix until just combined; don't overmix or bread will be tough. Pour batter into prepared muffin pan, filling each of the 12 wells to three-quarters full (fill past the old two-thirds full rule to create domed and fuller muffins). Add 1 scant teaspoon (a generous pinch) of sprinkles to the center of each muffin. Bake for about 20 to 22 minutes, or until tops of muffins are set, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes clean. Muffin tops should feel springy to the touch when done. Allow muffins to cool in pan for 10 to 15 minutes before removing.
- With the remaining batter, either pour into prepared loaf pan, smoothing it lightly with a spatula; or make more muffins (I'd guess about 6 more). With the reserved half banana, slice into thin rounds, about 1/8th-inch thick, and lay the slices on the top surface of the bread. Liberally shake sprinkles over the top. Bake for about 28 to 30 minutes, or until tops is set, and a toothpick inserted in the center comest clean. Top of bread should feel springy to the touch when done. Allow muffins to cool in pan for about 15 minutes before removing.
- Muffins will keep in airtight container (or for the bread wrap it in plasticwrap and place inside a large ziplock) for up to 5 days, although are best enjoyed sooner rather than later. Consider freezing extra muffins or the loaf if you're not going to consume within a week. Optionally serve muffins or bread with Strawberry Butter

Height 5-11, Weight 165, B/T: R/L, DOB: 2/6/1987
2009 Redlegs Baseball Prospect Ranking: #19
Travis Wood took a huge step forward in 2009, establishing himself as one of the best lefthanded pitching prospects in all of the minor leagues.
In last year's scouting report on Travis Wood, I wrote the following in the conclusion:
"It's not uncommon for young prospects to struggle in their first taste of double-A ball. The competition level is a significant jump from high-A ball, so an adjustment period is only natural. However, Wood will have to demonstrate a better curveball if he is going to find success at double-A. The higher he climbs the ladder, the more varied his repertoire will have to be. He'll need to improve his polish on the breaking ball and maintain the 88-91 mph velocity on his fastball to compliment his stellar change-up, as pitchers have a much more difficult time finding success at the upper level by relying heavily on just one pitch.
It won't take long in 2009 for Wood to reveal whether his 2008 struggles at double-A were the standard struggles of a young prospect or symptomatic of his inability to command an effective breaking ball. Travis Wood still wields the best change-up in the system, but he'll need to show more than that to find success at double-A next year. For now, he checks in at #19 on the list."
The 2009 season was obviously going to be a significant data point for Wood and, fortunately, it didn't take him long to establish that his true level of performance was substantially higher than he demonstrated in 2008.
At the time, I thought his success was going to be driven by improvements in his curveball. He already had a plus change-up and a solid fastball, but to be an effective starting pitcher he was going to need a third pitch, a breaking ball, to change the hitter's eye level and give him an additional arrow in his quiver.
Of course, Wood's breakthrough to a new performance level actually came about by basically putting the curveball on the back burner. Instead of improving it, he went in an entirely different direction. In its place, he installed a shiny new cutter, which gave him a very effective third offering. Prior to the introduction of the cutter, Wood struggled to keep righthanded hitters from diving out over the plate to attack his fastball and change-up. He had a good fastball and a change-up with late fade, but the introduction of the cutter gave him a pitch to keep righthanded hitters honest. The addition of the cutter gave Wood offspeed pitches that move in each lateral direction. Instead of only having pitches that are straight or fade away from righties, the cutter enabled Wood to attack righthanded hitters with a pitch that broke in on their hands. The addition of the cutter enabled Wood to effectively work both sides of the plate and attack both left and right handed hitters.
In 2009, Wood was remarkable over two different levels. He started out in double-A Carolina, where he posted a 1.21 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, and 103/37 K/BB ratio in 119.0 innings and 19 starts. He had strong ratios, including a 2.8 BB/9 and a 7.8 K/9, which is a nice blend of power and control. His ERA was ridiculous and probably a touch lucky, as he boasted a .246 BABIP, 2.65 FIP, and most alarmingly an 82.8% strand rate.
If ever a performance warranted a promotion, it was Wood's. And, the Reds promoted him to triple-A Louisville to finish out the season. For Louisville, Wood posted a 3.14 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and a 32/16 K/BB ratio. His ratios weren't quite as strong as they were in double-A, as evidenced by his 5.9 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9. His component stats regressed somewhat, as seen in his .273 BABIP, 3.96 FIP, and 79% strand rate.
Wood was one of the minor league leaders in ERA throughout the season, which was impressive given the large sample size, but also probably unsustainable in light of his overblown strand rate. Wood stranded runners at a much higher rate than is to be expected. Even so, it was a massive step forward for Wood who also managed to log a career high of 167.2 innings pitched. Unfortunately, Wood has neutral flyball/groundball tendencies, as evidenced by his 0.98 GB/FB ratio in 2009. Obviously, he would benefit by generating more groundballs in Great American Ballpark, but he may not have the repertoire to do it.
Wood still possesses the best change-up in the system, but his fastball velocity has never returned to the consistent 93-94 mph it attained in high school and his breaking ball continues to be inconsistent. His fastball sits in the 88-91 mph range, which should be sufficient for a southpaw to be successful at the highest level. Wood is still trying to refine his curveball, which can roll and stay up coming out of his hand. That said, Wood does possess a top notch change-up, which is one of the best weapons a pitcher can possess. The change-up is a true pitcher's pitch and one that fewer pitchers actually master than one might expect. It's one thing for a pitcher to succeed just by reaching back and cutting a good fastball loose, but it's an entirely other thing for a pitcher to succeed by changing speeds and hitting his spots. The former is typically a thrower, while the latter is a pitcher. Wood features a circle-change that breaks down and away from right-handed hitters, which may make it a nice weapon for combating a heavy platoon split. And, of course, the newest addition to his arsenal is the biting cutter that he can command effectively inside the strikezone.
Wood possesses good, clean mechanics. His wind-up is carried out at a faster tempo than average, but it's not a concern because he manages to keep his body in sync. Here are some frames of his wind-up courtesy of "mwlguide:"
In frame 1, he starts off in a pretty standard ready position.
In frame 2, you can see that he begins his windup with the small side-step that is popular in the modern game, rather than the step back towards second. And, as to be expected, the small side-step is accompanied by bringing the glove to the chest (which you can also see in frame 2) and not over the head like in the good the old days. In frame 3, he is beginning his leg kick and demonstrates good body control and balance.
In frame 4, you can see the nice high leg kick, the good body coil, the toe pointed to the ground, and how he has effectively created energy while maintaining his body over his plant leg. Note back in frame 3 how the line of his hips runs basically from 2nd base to home plate, while in frame 4 the line of his hips runs almost from 3rd base to 1st base. The high leg kick and coiling of the body enables him to store up energy to later impart on the baseball. In frame 5, he has already broken his hands and started driving to the plate. He is hiding the ball well, which increases his deception as it increases the difficulty of the hitter in picking up the baseball.
In frame 6, he has driven off the mound and released the pitch. He gets good extension in his arm action. He hasn't thrown against a stiff leg, which allows in frame 7 for his upper body to finish over his glove side leg. His body is squared up and he finishes in good fielding position.
In last year's scouting report, I wrote that one mechanical issue with Wood was his occasional tendency to pitch against a stiff glove side leg. Instead of getting out over the top of his plant foot, he occasionally throws against it, which results in his upper body being pushed back towards the rubber. You can see the difference in these two photos:
In photo 1, Wood has a bit more flex in the knee and he is able to get out over his front leg. However, in photo 2, you can see how he throws against a stiff glove side leg. Given the position of the glove side leg in photo 2, it will be very difficult for his momentum to carry his upper body out over the top of his legs. The stiff plant leg leaves no other option than to pitch against his leg. His momentum will not get out over the top of his legs, but rather will be checked and pushed back towards second base by the stiff plant leg. Not only may it lead to inconsistency in his pitches, but it may also increase the stress on his body, as pitching against a stiff leg is a bit jarring and the body won't be able to absorb or distribute the shock very well. He may be advised to shorten up his stride a bit, as throwing against a stiff front leg and failing to get out over your plant foot is often the result of over-striding.
Again, you can see his MLB scouting video here. Here is another look at Wood in action, courtesy of TheBamaone on YouTube:
Overall, as you can see, Wood has smooth and efficient mechanics. A few things that jump out at me in this video. First, the video better illustrates how he coils his leg kick to create potential energy. Second, his arm action is very smooth and easy. He's not a max effort pitcher and his arm action isn't herky-jerky. Finally, his body control is strong. He has good balance and never seems out of sync, as evidenced by his consistently strong finishing position.
One potential cause for concern, however, is Wood's slight build. He's only 5-11 and weighs in at 166 lbs. Given his height, he is not going to be able to pitch on a downward plane, which isn't ideal because his fastball only sits in the 88-91 mph range as it is. So, he may have to work harder to maintain acceptable velocity. It may benefit Wood to add more strength to his lower body, as that may help take some strain off of his arm and potential give him a tick or two more velocity on his fastball. The best and most efficient pitchers throw with their entire body, not just their arm. While Wood does a nice job coiling up his body and driving off the mound, increased lower body strength may lower his risk of an arm injury.
Travis Wood took a big step forward in 2009 and his emergence gives the Reds a stable of quality pitching prospects that they have had in as long as I can remember. He lost out in the Spring Training battle for the 5th spot in the rotation to Mike Leake, so he'll head back to triple-A in hopes of winning a role in the majors. Ultimately, Aaron Harang and Bronson Arroyo are likely finishing up their respective Reds careers, as both contracts expire after the 2010 season. The Reds hold a team option of $12.75M on Harang and $11M on Arroyo, but given their mediocrity and the wealth of cost-effective young pitching, it's difficult to imagine the team exercising either option.
Overall, the addition of the cut-fastball has made Wood a much more intriguing and legitimate pitching prospect. It remains to be seen if he has "enough stuff" to succeed at the MLB level, but a bit more development time should help him continue polishing his skills. As of now, many scouts still view Wood as having a ceiling of only a #4/5 starter, despite his awesome numbers in 2009. Regardless, Wood continues to strive to get better, as he spent the offseason working out with fellow Arkansas native Cliff Lee, which may have given Wood an extra boost of confidence and a greater understanding of what it takes to succeed at the highest level. Wood called Lee a "mentor" and he'd be hard pressed to find a better one. The Reds haven't had an effective southpaw in the MLB rotation in quite a while, but Wood and Chapman will be looking to change that in the near future.
Wood's cutter and stellar 2009 season are enough to land him at #4 on the list. I've always appreciated Wood's change-up and mechanics, but it's the cutter that could make all the difference for him.

'Opening Act' Recap: Nicki Minaj Offers Coveted Spot to Gotham Citi, Thanks Them for Gracing Her Stage
On tonight's (Aug. 27) episode of 'Opening Act,' Brooklyn-based boy band Gotham Citi were given the chance of a lifetime. They were invited to open for pop music's favorite femcee Nicki Minaj on one of her Pink Friday tour dates. The four-piece, which formed a year ago, is an a cappella group that meets up in the city and practices in places like Central Park. They've been blessed with the gift to sing, and they want to share that gift and entertain others.
They were chosen because they are a Boyz II Men or Jodeci-style R&B act, and there is certainly a hole in that marketplace that they could veritably fill. Their smooth style, good looks and God-given talent made them a perfect support act for Minaj. Gotham Citi are the type of act her crowd and her fans would embrace and "get."
The foursome's first performances were a little rough, with one of the members needing to tone down his sexiness and to stop trying to sell it.
The quartet also had a recording session with legendary music producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who've worked with everyone from Usher to Janet Jackson to Mariah Carey.
They left NYC for Miami, essentially from the frying pan to the fire. There some infighting about not "feeling" the Jam/Lewis song, until they rehearsed all night and got it down. They also changed it a bit. They were swagged out but shaking upon arriving at the venue to open for the current queen of hip-hop.
Overall, Gotham Citi won her crowd over with their smooth stylings.
Gothan Citi met Minaj after both their sets. She low-key and graciously thanked them for opening for her, and for gracing her stage with their presence, noting that the Barbz loved 'em. That was a different strategy, since usually the act being opened for meets the opener before hand to offer some advice. Instead, Minaj came after the fact and offered her sincere appreciation.
It appears to be just the beginning for Gotham Citi.
