Samsung Under Fire for Slow Report of Deadly Gas Leak
Samsung is once again being dogged by accusations of poor worker-safety protections at its chip plants, following a poisonous hydrofluoric acid gas leak that killed one employee and injured four others last weekend.
The leak occurred Sunday at a Samsung plant outside of Seoul, and while the company and its subcontractor — STI Service — were quick to repair it, neither reported the incident to the police until an employee exposed to the gas died. That belated response has landed Samsung in hot water with local authorities, who say the company's failure to promptly report the incident is a violation of South Korea's Toxic Chemicals Control Act. They're threatening to fine the company up to one million won for the misstep.
Now, one million won is a pittance — about $923 U.S. Clearly, it won't cause Samsung any pain at all. But the scrutiny the incident has drawn to the company might. Yonhap reports that government officials are investigating the leak and the manner in which it was handled for evidence of a cover-up. Their probe will determine whether or not the leak originated from a pipe that was in need of repair, and if plant workers had been provided with proper safety equipment.
"We will thoroughly investigate to clarify who is responsible for the incident as someone died due to poor administration," an official told Yonhap. "We are investigating in four different ways to determine the exact amount of leaked gas, the secondary damage, how the incident was handled by the firms afterward, and the relevant law."
Bad news for Samsung, which has been drawing fire for its labor practices for awhile now. Last November, the company was slapped with a slew of labor abuse accusations in China. Now this. News of the leak and Samsung's handling of it come as other tech industry heavyweights like Apple are taking very clear — and very public — steps to ensure fair labor practices and safe working conditions at their manufacturing partners.
Reached for comment, a Samsung spokesperson provided the following statement: "A small amount of diluted hydrofluoric acid leaked during maintenance at one of the chemical supply systems at the Hwaseong site. Five contract workers at the scene were sent to hospital for treatment. Four of them have been discharged, while one worker died due to complications. Samsung would like to offer its deepest condolences to the deceased contractor and his family. The situation has been contained and Samsung will be investigating the circumstances of this unfortunate incident."

Were this any other transition period for the video game industry, GameStop stock would be soaring these days.
(Read More: Gaming Industry's Latest Idea: Free Games )
Instead, the stock has been largely flat — climbing less than one point year to date, noticeably underperforming the market's seven percent gains — as well as other companies in the gaming space.
At issue are a pair of clouds that refuse to go away: used games and digital distribution.
(Read More: SnapChat Sees Big Future in Erasable Media )
Used games are the bread and butter of GameStop's earnings. In its most recent fiscal quarter, 28 percent of the company's overall sales were from used video game products — bringing in $496.3 million. Used games represented over 48 percent of GameStop's gross profits.
So reports that Microsoft's next iteration of the Xbox won't allow the use of used games has investors nervous. Adding to the agita is remaining cloudiness about how Sony's PlayStation 4 will handle them.
While Sony officials said they don't plan to block used games on the system, people familiar with the PS4 say that technology is built into the console — but Sony has left the decision up to individual game publishers on whether to utilize it through the use of watermarked game discs.
"Used games are a big frustration among publishers," said John Taylor of Arcadia Investment. "I'm guessing there are a lot of discussions between the console companies, the publishers and GameStop on how to share that windfall of profit. … The catalyst of new platform is changing the stakes at the table. It's increasing the leverage the content people have over the distribution people. … In a zero sum world, that's going to be viewed as a negative for GameStop. "
While Microsoft's not addressing the rumors and Sony has said its peace for now, GameStop isn't letting the whispers go unanswered. The company has used the media to warn console manufacturers that internal surveys of its customers show they would be much less likely to purchase a system that didn't support used games.
Analysts have downplayed talk of a used game 'ban,' noting that neither Microsoft nor Sony would risk alienating players that way. And publishers, they note, would have to change their terms of business.
"The missing link is you need a publisher to say we're not selling packaged products anymore, we're selling a one-use license, like Microsoft does with Office," says Michael Pachter of Wedbush Securities.
While the fate of used games remains a question, investors are equally worried about the rise of digital distribution with new consoles.
In the near term, no one is expecting any sort of sea change—but the PS4 and next Xbox are both expected to offer day one downloads on most big titles. And as consumers get more comfortable with buying digitally — and distribution methods improve — that could further impact brick and mortar retail.
"To the extent that the industry evolves and the medium evolves, that has implications on their physical presence.," Taylor said. "I can see a scenario in 3-5 years where their store base is smaller than it is now, but they're doing a lot of Amazon-type business and still able to do alright. But it's going to look a lot different. … What GameStop management is tasked with now is, in a sense, changing from spots to stripes."
To make that transition, GameStop has begun selling downloadable content (DLC) in its stores — offering it as an up-sell when a customer buys a game. Buyers who choose to do so receive a code they can redeem on their Xbox or PlayStation at home, where it will download.
That's not an ideal way to buy DLC, though. In a perfect world, customers would purchase the content at GameStop; then the retailer (through a secure handshake with the console company) would confirm the transaction had taken place and the DLC would be instantly put into the user's Xbox or PlayStation account. And that's something the company is painfully aware of.
"We thought we'd have to have that in place," says Brad Schliesser, director of digital content for GameStop. "Making this a little easier for consumers is the icing on the cake. Our goal on this is 'let's make it a better process for the consumer. … Our goal in 2013 would be to get one partner to convert to a 'push to box' model."
Schliesser says GameStop is still on track to reach its goal of $1.5 billion in digital revenue by the end of its 2014 fiscal year. Physical sales, though, are likely to continue to suffer — and even if digital sales do take off, the company still faces an uphill challenge due to, you guessed it, its reliance on used game sales.
"The problem with a digital sale for GameStop as opposed to a disc sale for GameStop is every time you sell a disc, you sell something into someone's library that can be recycled," Taylor said. "When you sell a digital copy, there is no second sale. … Digital distribution could have a cascading effect on used game business."

Administration spokesman Robert Gibbs' angry retort that left-wing critics of President Obama ought to be "drug tested" because they are "crazy" marks a crucial benchmark in the accelerating evisceration of Obama's public support, even amongst liberals who, having exalted Obama as some kind of savior, are now realizing that he is merely a servant to the banking elite.
Gibbs' meltdown occurred during an interview with The Hill newspaper, in which he slammed the "professional left" for criticizing Obama for failing to live up to his ideological promises.
"I hear these people saying he's like George Bush. Those people ought to be drug tested," Gibbs said. "I mean, it's crazy."
While some of the criticism coming from the left is undoubtedly over side-issues like gay marriage or gays in the military, much of it centers around Obama's continuation and indeed intensification of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as his failure to close Guantanamo Bay, in addition to his cosying up to Wall Street while abandoning Main Street as the economic decline worsens.
Our warnings right at the beginning of the Obama presidency, explored at length in Alex Jones' documentary The Obama Deception, are now coming to fruition, as Americans from across the entire political spectrum come to the understanding that they've been the victims of a monumental hoax.
The HIll article leaps to Obama's defense, claiming he is "Overseeing the end of the Iraq war, with the U.S. on schedule to end its combat operations by the end of this month."
However, as we have previously documented, Obama now has more American troops deployed than at any time under Bush. The date for withdrawing troops from Iraq is continually pushed back, and even then it is admitted that a "residual force" of tens of thousands of troops will remain to occupy the country.
In addition, Obama has also expanded the Bush-era bombing raids into Pakistan.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:49}
Of the troops that do come home from Iraq, the vast majority look like they'll be needed for the next invasion, should Obama support an Israeli attack on Iran as many expect in the upcoming months.
As we have previously documented, Obama has broken every major promise he made during the campaign trail, from ending warrentless secret surveillance of American citizens, to bringing Bush administration officials to justice for the illegal torture program, to closing the Guantanamo Bay detention camp.
With the millions of Americans who were hypnotized into voting for the corporate marketing creation Obama now waking up to the fact that they were lied to and that Barry Soetoro is nothing more than a sock puppet for the elite, the administration can be expected to become increasingly desperate in its bid to cling on to power.
As we have warned, a war on Iran could prove to be the perfect distraction from Obama's domestic troubles, rallying the country around an external threat and reversing his plummeting approval ratings.
Fresh food that lasts from eFoods Direct
Ironic it may be that the "peace candidate" will be forced to play the war card as a last resort to rescue his political dynasty, but he can count on the support of an army of neo-cons who have been calling for an attack on Iran since the early years of the Bush presidency.
Similarly, as Robert Shapiro, former senior advisor to President Bill Clinton, made clear in a Financial Times article last month, a terror attack on the scale of 9/11 or the Oklahoma City bombing would do wonders to address Obama's "growing credibility crisis" and reinstate Americans' belief in his leadership.
Whether the string pullers behind Obama will make a late and desperate lunge to rescue his tattered credibility, or whether they will merely hand over the baton to another neo-con to continue the same globalist agenda, remains to be seen. But what we can now say for certain is that Brand Obama has been completely demolished, with the reality behind the facade exposed for all to see, and Obama's political legacy being forever characterized by deceit, deception and misplaced hope.

Marlins eager to start full workouts after rain
JUPITER, Fla. -- Sidetracked by steady rain on Thursday morning, the Marlins will begin their first day of full-squad workouts on Friday at the Roger Dean Stadium complex.
Pitchers on Thursday were limited to throwing bullpen sessions in the covered cages. They were able to long toss in a drizzle, but were not able to do much else. The energy level and intensity should be different at 1 p.m. ET on Friday when position players join the workouts.
"Today was kind of a buzz saw with the rain," manager Mike Redmond said. "Not much we can do. Hopefully, we will be able to get on the field for the first full-squad workout."
Pitchers officially started on Tuesday, although a number of them have been in Jupiter for at least a week.
Closer Steve Cishek is eager to face some batters.
"I've thrown I don't know how many bullpens now, and I haven't faced any hitters yet," Cishek said. "But having a hitter step in is sort of a visual. It obviously helps out in Spring Training. Really, you just want to compete. When a hitter steps in the box, it sets in another gear for you."
Physicals wrap up in the morning, and after a team meeting, the Marlins will be ready to go in full force.
"Really, I'm excited to start the full-squad workouts and get this thing progressing," Redmond said. "I think, when it's just the pitchers and catchers, it feels like something is missing. It's always better when you get the full team out there, and everybody is working together.
"That's really where the camaraderie comes into place. Guys are having fun. I know they're not looking forward to facing those pitchers for the first time in those pitcher's [bullpen sessions]. I know I never looked forward to that, either. We're looking forward to getting on the field. Put last year behind us and move forward."

I opened the Star Wars Advent Calendar 2011 early and I don't get what the set on the first day is. I'm not much of a Star Wars fan I guess. I can't identify it as any particular ship and my only guess is it's a part of a bigger set for later.
And the worst part is I can't find it on the box anywhere. Lego is usually really good with the imagery and usually exaggerates the final product (by making it look bigger or whatever) but it seems only a fraction of the 25 mini models are shown on the box.
Has anyone else opened it up?

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) Offensive linemen are usually the unsung heroes, the guys who only get talked about when they screw up.
Not at Alabama, where the second-ranked Crimson Tide's road to the BCS championship game has been paved by five talented 300-pounders, including two-time All-American and four-year starter Barrett Jones.
``This has a chance to be the best offensive line I've ever played on, and we've had some good ones over the past few years,'' Jones said.
No. 1 Notre Dame's offensive line doesn't have quite the star power or balance. The Fighting Irish don't hide the fact that they lean left - at least when it comes to running the football. Notre Dame has made a living running behind tackle Zack Martin and guard Chris Watt.
``We certainly use the left side of our offensive line I'd say at a ridiculous rate,'' Irish offensive coordinator Chuck Martin said. ``I'm not giving away any secrets. They're not very good at what they do if they don't know some of the tendencies we have running the football. We typically like to go left. It's not by accident.''
When the Irish and Crimson Tide meet Monday night in Miami, the BCS championship could very well be on the lines - the offensive lines to be specific.
That the smart and personable Jones has become the face of the Crimson Tide seems rather apropos. Alabama has reached the BCS championship game for the third time in four seasons with a power running game as its foundation. No spread offenses, read-options and up-tempo in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Jones, from Germantown, Tenn., played guard in 2009 when he was opening holes for Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram. Last year he was Alabama's left tackle, helping Trent Richardson become a Heisman finalist. This season Jones moved to center and has been as good as ever. According to Alabama, he has missed only six assignments, playing 731 snaps. And Alabama has two 1,000-yard rushers in T.J. Yeldon and Eddie Lacy.
``He's just a smart player,'' Notre Dame guard Louis Nix III said. ``He knows what he has to do. He's strong at the point of attack. Just an overall great player.''
As good as Jones is, he's not even the best NFL prospect on Alabama's line.
Left guard Chance Warmack holds that distinction. Guards tend not to get picked in the first round, but Warmack is projected to be one of those rare commodities. Right tackle D.J. Fluker might jump to the NFL as a junior after the BCS title game. Sophomore left tackle Cyrus Kouandjio is a rising star who could develop into Alabama's next great tackle, joining the likes of Andre Smith and Chris Samuel. Steady right guard Anthony Steen is a two-year starter.
``We don't play running back but we got skills, too,'' Fluker said.
Those skills were never more on display than in the Southeastern Conference championship game against Georgia. The Tide fell behind 21-10 in the third quarter and went to the running game to shift the momentum. Alabama finished with 350 yards on 51 carries and all that running set up AJ McCarron's 45-yard, go-ahead touchdown pass to Amari Cooper off play action.
Against Notre Dame, Alabama will face possibly its toughest test of the season. The Fighting Irish front seven, led by All-American linebacker Manti Te'o and stud defensive linemen Nix and Stephon Tuitt, has allowed only two rushing touchdowns this season.
``Great O-line,'' Nix said. ``Arguably, the best O-line in the country.''
If you ask Notre Dame coaches, they will tell you they have the best offensive lineman in the country in Martin. The two-year starter from Indianapolis has been a rock for the first Notre Dame offense to average 5 yards per rush since 1996.
``Ridiculous,'' Chuck Martin said of his left tackle. ``He should have two scholarships. He's been so good every week. So consistent every play. He rarely misses his block. He's been such a dominant, dominant force for us.''
Watt, a senior, is Zack Martin's right-hand man.
``I would say we certainly don't use it 50-50 right and left,'' Chuck Martin said. ``(Zack Martin) and Watt get the lion share of tough blocks.''
The Irish also have a center who ranks among the best in the country in Braxston Cave, a third-team All-American. On the right side, Mike Golic Jr. holds the guard spot and Christian Lombard is the other tackle. It's a group that has started every game and allowed only 18 sacks while protecting a first-year starting quarterback in Everett Golson.
Chuck Martin gives plenty of credit to line coach Harry Hiestand, who is in his 30th season in coaching and first at Notre Dame. Martin said Hiestand has taught toughness and technique and Notre Dame will need both to run the ball against an Alabama defense that allows only 2.5 yards per rush, anchored by powerful nose guard Jesse Williams.
``Technically, he's as good as anybody in the world at teaching guys how to move people,'' Martin said of Hiestand. ``If you play with great technique you've got a chance. If you don't play with great technique, you've got no chance. That's what we're up against with Alabama. We have to play with great technique every snap up front or we'll have zero chance to ever get a yard rushing. If you do (play with great technique), it'll still be hit or miss, but hopefully you cover up enough people, you'll get a little bit of movement.''

NUTMEG NUGGETS: Spring means IMPACT 2013 is on its way
Time flies, as the saying goes. So does snow -- but we won't mention the nearly 30 inches that landed on us last week! Some roads are still barely passable, but spring is only 28 days away. And spring means Nutmeg Ballet's spring production "IMPACT 2013" will hit the stage at the Warner Theatre's Carole and Ray Neag Performing Arts Center on March 23 at 8 p.m.
It seems like just the other day I was telling you about last year's production. Which was wonderful. Read the reviews.
"IMPACT 2013" presents contemporary and classical ballet repertoire taught by the masters: the instructors at Nutmeg and guest artists.
This group of international instructors have performed and/or taught across the globe and pass on the valuable learned experience to Nutmeg students. This is invaluable to all of the students and especially for those planning a career in dance.
"We are an international ballet school," said Nutmeg Executive Director Sharon Dante. "Our teachers and guest artists have danced and taught all over the world. Alexei Tchernichov is from Russia." Tchernichov, Special Advisor to the Men's Program, trained at the Bolshoi Academy in Moscow and is a graduate of the Vaganova Choreographic Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Pyotr IlyichTchaikovsky composed the melodic music for the Sleeping Beauty ballet, which premièred at Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg in 1890. Highlights from the ballet, staged by Artistic Director Victoria Mazzarelli, Ballet Master Tim Melady, Resident Coach Eleanor D'Antuono, and Children's Ballet Mistress Susan Szabo, will be premiered by students from the Nutmeg Conservatory for the Arts as part of the "IMPACT 2013" show. Tchaikovsky loved the Sleeping Beauty story based on a Brothers Grimm's fairytale, and that is believed to be the reason the music is infused with sweetness and warmth.
In keeping with the international aspect of Nutmeg, let me tell you that Melady, who also choreographed a ballet for IMPACT, has danced all over, or, as he says "danced around the world." Melady has performed in more than 40 countries and on five continents.
"Tim was inspired to choreograph a ballet by a piece of Tchaikovsky's music," Mazzarelli said. Melady's choreography is always interesting and much appreciated by audiences. I can promise that this ballet will be no exception.
Let's step away from the Soviet for a minute and focus on Switzerland and Artistic Director Mazzarelli, who was a prima ballerina with the Zurich Ballet.
She spent nearly 20 years traveling and dancing and learning in Europe and brought it all back to Nutmeg, where it all began for her as a four-year-old ballet student of Executive Director Dante.
This year Mazzarelli has reworked a ballet piece for three trios that will be showcased in IMPACT.
Guest artist Brian Simerson, who is working with the student dancers on a piece for IMPACT called "Raga," has performed in 44 countries as a star performer with the famed dance troupe MOMIX. You don't get more international than that!
Award-winning choreographer and Associate Director Joan Kunsch traversed the world too. She has worked in world cities including London, Stockholm, Oslo, and in Iceland, Canada, and The Hague. Her choreography includes works for concert stage, sacred space, television and outdoor sites.
Next week expect to read more about "IMPACT 2013" and my interview with Brian Simerson. For now, take my advice and order your tickets today.
"IMPACT 2013" performances at the Warner Theatre's Carole and Ray Neag Performing Arts are March 23 at 8 p.m. and March 24 at 2 p.m. For tickets call the Warner Theatre at 860-489-7180 or go online at www.nutmegconservatory.org

I have a database which stores information about various items. In particular, for each item I need to store the name, type and color. Each type can have a various amount of different colors. For example, I need to be able to ask 'what color can an item of type A have?'
I'm struggling to see how I should best structure my database. Each item has a color and a type, but I also need to capture the fact that each type has a unique range of colors available.
currently I have these ideas:
items (ID(PK), name, types_and_colors_ID (FK))
types and colors (ID(PK), type_name (FK), color(FK))
types (ID(PK), type_name)
colors (ID(PK), color_name)
items (ID(PK), name, type(FK), color(FK))
types and colors (type (PK FK), color (PK FK))
types (ID(PK), type_name)
colors (ID(PK), color_name)
items (ID(PK), name, type_color_id(FK))
types (ID(PK), type_name))
type_colors (type_color_id, color_name (PK), type_id (PK))

They... they actually did a good job. A mostly great job. WOW. This episode pretty much went against my expections in many aspects, and that is a Very Good Thing. (And it followed my expectations in some other things which isn't very good, but well, at this point that's neither here nor there.)
I'll write a proper reaction post, but until then:
NAMIKAWA DAISUKE. The guy should get an award for this series. GIVE HIM ONE.
And while we're at it, give awards to Taneda Risa and Kaji Yuuki, too, they were both ridiculously awesome.
Also, I'll just leave this here (spoilery, but no main characters or anything)...
Spoiler for screenshot from last episode, duh:

So! Last episode... what a ride it has been. Warning, this is going to be long. (I'm tempted to use the tl;dr tag...)
The OK, the good and the great, in no particular order...
Spoiler for YESSS:
The grumbling, or rather, stuff I just don't get...
Spoiler for the "akki":
Spoiler for the usual:
Spoiler for Shun and the last part:
About the overall tone of the episode...
Spoiler for novel comparison, I guess:
Before the subs come out and the thread eventually descends into chaos XD;; I'd just like to say that as much as I groused about some changes in the last arc, I think this was, hands down, one the strongest anime I've ever seen, even with its flaws. It's quite unlike anything I've seen before - sure, much of that is due to the source material. But there's also:
- the visuals - sure, it was made on a very tight budget but even so there are some striking visuals in this show (quite a number of them in this last episode), and there was of course the first ending sequence that was simply awesome. There were also some nice camera angles, visual ideas, etc.
- the designs - I've heard people hating on the character designs, but I think they worked well, and the character designer should get into fashion stat.
Spoiler for last part of the episode:
And I really loved how they designed the various creatures in the world - the minoshiro, the fujouneko, etc.
- the music - everyone loves that haunting bgm that plays during key scenes, but the rest is pretty nice, too - not flashy, but it does what a BGM needs to do. The first ending, Wareta ringo that was simply awesome. (Let's just forget about the second ED.)
- the seiyuu - the voice acting was brilliant. Namikawa Daisuke is the star here, sure, but Taneda Risa, Kaji Yuuki, and the rest of the cast also did a fantastic job. (This fall/winter season seems to have the theme of "voice actors doing something I wouldn't have expected them to be good at" - Namikawa Daisuke as Squealer, Fukuyama Jun as Marian in Ixion Saga, and Suwabe Junichi as Inaba in Cuticle Detective Inaba.)
All in all, I'm happy that I met this anime. I'm glad the sponsors were willing to invest money in this, even though they must have known that it wouldn't be much of a success (or at all, as the case might be), and that despite everything the production team seemed to do their best at all times in spite of the budget, the time and the difficult to adapt source material. In the end, Shinsekai yori had flaws, including questionable writing/directorial decisions, but it was a powerful show, and it will stay with me for a long time.
Oh! and one more thing.
I'd like to take the opportunity to give a shout-out to the person who, during all these months, faithfully kept copying my Shinsekai yori posts and posting them as their own at the MAL forums. Hi, plagiarist! ^o^)/

*sniff* Probably at least another 3 hours before us non-Japanese literate people can watch.
So, this is the last episode, and kuromitsu is happy. Ah, the speculations.
At the very least, my dream ending of Squealer x Saki BDSM is probably out of the picture.

Just finished the episode and my immediate incoherency is making me think nothing but THESE TEARS ( ;∀;)
Spoiler for music:
Spoiler for Akki stuff:
Spoiler for Epilogue:
This show is probably the first ever where I've not wanted to punch a Kaji Yuuki character for constantly yelling or just straight up overdoing it. If he's capable of acting like this, it makes me sad that his other stuff I've heard him in tends to all sound the same and with very little acting involved (off the top of my head: Guilty Crown, Accel World, Magi, some other random shows that were so terrible I didn't finish them and don't remember their names). Thus, I applaud the voice acting director of the show for keeping him in line with the atmosphere
I've some gripes with some bits of the storytelling and characterizations, but the overarching story itself and its themes are very powerful.
All in all, a great ending to what has been a fantastic show throughout its entire run. I'm very glad to have discovered such a work and overall find its conclusion quite satisfying. I'll really miss having SSY to look forward to every Friday.

I wish other series would take a hint and do epilogues with time skips like this episode. Gives you more satisfaction with the end. Needless to say, I'm glad Saki and Satoru finally got together. It's a shame they didn't show more of their interaction but anime.
I found it particularly funny that Satoru was the one blushing and not Saki. Silly boy.

All in all superb, the twist at the end was bleaker than the anime made it to be. We were made to feel cheated that we are actually the poor bakenezumi just becoz we had no powers and that the heros and heroines are actually jes privileged class abusing their powers.

simp for Lyria
Even though I HATED Squealer throughout the series for his constant betrayals(but LOVED his cunning), and couldn't wait to see a horrible, HORRIBLE punishment finally befall him, I must admit, that speech he gave at the trial MOVED me. I mean, I actually sympathized with what he said, even agreed to it. It almost felt like the humans, laughing and making fun of him, were the ones that were evil. To see our protagonists go through all of this because of the ideals of one 'man', hating that one 'man', yet still is able to give him a both logical and emotional reason for his actions to make me sympathize with him is simply amazing.
In hindsight, many stories harbor characters such as Squealer to be the protagonist, leading the rise against an completely oppressive power(whether gods, or otherwise) that enslaves them. I can't even call his actions "evil" anymore. It isn't anymore evil than what Kiroumaru was planning. Immoral? Yes. Evil? Only if you're on the opposing side.

Now that I think about it, this is a bit of a Psyco-path ending. "Humans are retards (and even bigger retards if they have psychic powers)" must be the overall message.

In general I was quite happy with this but let me get it out of the way what I disliked the most:
The humans got off way too easy. Yeah I realize a lot of them died and a lot of loved ones were lost. But they are still at the top and (with the exception of Saki and Satoru) they seemed to learn absolutely nothing.
Everyone here knows I was pretty anti-Squealer (well not as a character but as human...) but I was so angry when they laughed at him. And I didn't think he deserved that horrible fate (I was glad that Saki ended it). The story actually leaves it a bit open if Squealer just wanted power or really cared about his people (perhaps I will admit it was a little bit of both). I did like Saki's last line that he always was a liar. Oddly enough the only thing he probably didn't lie about was the "we are humans" line. It seems ironically fitting.
Speaking of which I am really proud of myself that I guessed exactly what the monster rats were. Well I wasn't entirely sure if it happened naturally or experimentally but I did guess the scientist group was involved and I even mentioned the scene that Saki flashed back to of Shun asking the library what happened to the other groups.
The Akki battle was quick but for some reason I think that was for the better. I much rather get the aftermath the way we did.
Anyways the series actually didn't turn out to be a tragedy like I expected. I have mixed feelings about that because I think it might have been stronger if it was a true blue tragedy but I can't say I didn't love that Saki and Satoru got a happy ending. Even if the PK users didn't grow or learn anything, I think Saki and Satoru did grow a lot. I think it is up to Saki and Satoru to create a better outcome for both monster rat/human relationships and for what is happening with the children.
It's not just fanservice that Saki and Satoru are expecting their first child. They are happy and not fearful. This to me is a testament to the fact that Saki and Satoru believe in change and are moving forward with it. Their child will have a full life and they will make that happen. Even though Saki is writing to the future, I could also see her writing to her own child. I also loved the last written line. "The power of imagination changes everything". It's a really beautiful sentiment that Tomiko didn't make a mistake to give group 1 free will.
Finally I know this series might not have had the biggest budget but I think what they did with the limited budget was highly impressive. I thought this series looked creatively beautiful, and some of the background shots in this last episode were absolutely lovely. Quite honestly I would rather watch a series with a small budget and a creative look then one with a high budget but that looks like every other anime out there.
So yeah overall I leave this series with very good feelings
On another note fansubs state the fiend was a girl. I know this was the opposite of the book but did the fansubs get it wrong or did the anime just change the gender?

California's second largest city is home to the country's technology industry and many of its major players have their HQs here. But San Jose is more than just an exciting city for business, with its vibrant centre and plenty of things to do, San Jose is a great place for a holiday.
You might not think of San Jose when you hear music, art and culture, history and great food, but the city is teeming with things to do. The past decade has seen major changes to this city, and thanks to investment from Silicon Valley, San Jose's centre is now buzzing. There are plenty of historical sights, such as St Joseph's Cathedral Basilica and the Plaza de Cesar Chavez – dating back to the 1800s this is the oldest plaza in the city. Beautiful green spaces include Alum Rock Park and the Municipal Rose Garden, where you'll no doubt witness a bride having her picture taken, or head to a theme park such as California's Great America or Raging Water, or one of the many museums and art galleries.
Downtown is home to plenty of eateries offering delicious dishes – from the street food trucks dotted around the city and traditional brunch spots to award-winning fine dining and experimental menus.
San Jose has a rich seam of culture running through it and wherever your interests lie you'll find something to please your eye: the explorative Children's Discovery Museum, the modern art of the San Jose Museum of Art, and the artefacts on display at the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum.

Frugal Friday~
And what are we making today, Wendy, you ask? Why, a button wreath, of course!
- Lightweight cardboard (I like to collect this so I have it around for various projects...things like the cardboard that comes in folded shirts, large tags from clothing etc.)
- Scrapbook paper (ideally this should be the color of the buttons you will be using.)
- Two glasses (or other round objects) one smaller than the other.
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Stick glue
- Hot glue gun
- Hot glue sticks (I went through about 2 of these)
- Buttons (lots - I used about 80 or so for my small wreath) I like white vintage buttons best, but you could use any color and you can buy them new - of course.
- Ribbon
- Using the stick glue, start by gluing the scrapbook paper to the cardboard. Remember, stick glue is your friend...be very generous.
- Using a pencil, trace the rims of the glasses onto the paper. The larger glass outside and the smaller glass inside to create a wreath form.
- Cut out the wreath form. If you're the perfectionist-type you can gently sand the edges so they are smooth (using a sanding block), but keep in mind that they will be 90% hidden by the buttons.
- Now comes the fun part. Gather your buttons. I like to sort them into sizes before I get started gluing...makes the whole gluing process a little easier.
- Start by gluing a layer of large buttons to the form.
- Now glue a layer of slightly smaller buttons on top of the larger ones, staggering them to cover the spaces between the larger buttons.
NOTE: I like to play around with where I will put the buttons because I want to vary the shades of the buttons...especially when using white buttons, because it creates more texture and interest.
- Continue gluing on buttons using smaller buttons each layer, and filling in the blank open spaces. This will create a rounded effect. Then I go back and add smaller buttons to the empty spaces left on the edge between the large buttons in the first layer. (That description is about as clear as mud, but hopefully, you get what I mean.)
- And that's it! Loop a pretty length of grosgrain ribbon around the top and tie with a bow...then hang it somewhere that will make you smile when you look at it.
So simple...so pretty!
Now it's your turn.

text: In late March, CAST released a new version of CAST Workbench, 3.72, to interface with SQL Server 7.0. In 3.72, CAST renamed three components. DB-Builder is now AppViewer, DB-Analyzer is Impact Analyzer, and Object Designer is Object Viewer. According to a CAST engineer, the new version will use ODBC and not DB-Library to connect to SQL Server. Also, it will contain an API for source-code control systems, and CAST will provide an interface with Visual SourceSafe. The new version will recognize and analyze multiple triggers of the same type on a table. Although the debugger will step into recursive triggers, it will not step into multiple triggers. (This design makes sense because you can't predict which trigger will fire first.) Finally, CAST Workbench 3.72 will have an enhanced capability for analyzing Visual Basic (VB) projects and including VB objects in the database diagrams.

From a taste of the Middle East in Bay Ridge to farm fresh fare in Ditmas Park, these far-flung hidden gems offer unbelievable, unforgettable local flavor that's definitely worth the trip.
The Farm On Adderley
Historic Victorian homes aren't the only reason to visit charming Ditmas Park. This bustling, family-friendly neighborhood favorite isn't on a real farm, of course, but you really wouldn't know it from sampling the fantastically fresh menu.
The folks at the Farm have truly embraced the greenmarket (conveniently located down the street) and all its seasonal bounty, serving upscale, locally sourced fare with a focus on pasture-raised and organic ingredients.
The dishes are simple, satisfying and affordable, such as the endive salad with bacon, blue cheese and walnut vinaigrette or the Farm burger, served on a toasted English muffin and homemade fries with curry mayo.
Those in the know flock to the Farm for its hearty brunch menu, where the basic Farmer's Breakfast of scrambled eggs over Swiss chard with brioche, parmesan and home fries ($8) is about as wholesomely delicious as they come.
1108 Cortelyou Rd, 718-287-3101
www.thefarmonadderley.com The Good Fork
All hail the delicious homemade pork dumplings!
Nestled on a relatively desolate stretch of Van Brunt Street in Red Hook- yes, Red Hook-a culinary revolution is underway, and the unassuming, homey Good Fork is already ahead of the neighborhood's nascent edible curve, packing in hungry crowds night after night.
Chef Sohui Kim's flavorful and eclectic menu, which includes a fried oyster po' boy and bacon wrapped pork tenderloin, is sprinkled with a few innovative Asian influences including said dumplings, kimchee rice side and Korean style steak and eggs.
Staying local is also a focus of the cuisine and many of the ingredients are sourced directly from Red Hook's Added Value Farm. The Good Fork is comforting (and affordable) slow food with a tasty twist. Your taste buds will thank you for making the trip.
391 Van Brunt St., 718- 643-6636
www.goodfork.com Di Fara Pizza
What more can be said about this famed Midwood mainstay? Yes, it's that good. Although some may argue that nearby L&B Spumoni Gardens serves up the best in the borough, Di Fara's decadent pie speaks for itself- and the experience is truly one of a kind.
The mouth-watering, wafting aromas of bubbling cheese, slightly (perfectly) charred crust and fresh tomato sauce tingle the taste buds all the way down the block. Watching owner/founder Domenico DeMarco, Di Fara's sole pie-maker, patiently and affectionately create his masterpieces for the hungry masses every day makes devouring the deliciously crispy slices that much more special. There's truly love in every bite. Even the toppings such as porcini mushrooms, wild onions, baby eggplant, artichokes and zesty, thick-cut pepperoni prove it's not your average pizza joint.
The ingredients are fresh and imported, right down to the extra virgin olive oil and the fresh-cut basil, which DeMarco generously garnishes on top of each pie with crowd-pleasing flair. The inevitable wait and $5 price per regular slice is still well worth it.
1424 Avenue J, 718-258-1367
Deep in the heart of Bay Ridge, those hankering for the unmistakably tangy zip of homemade tabbouleh or outrageously tender cuts of luscious lamb can be found jockeying for a coveted table at tiny, unassuming Tanoreen, which has been serving up authentic Middle Eastern cuisine since 1999.
Owner Riwa Bishara has truly elevated the oft-forgettable eggplant- a major ingredient in many a Mediterranean dish- to a delicate, delicious star in several of Tanoreen's house specialties.
You can't go wrong with the scrumptious Eggplant Napoleon (crispy slices layered with smoky baba ghanouge and topped with a fresh basil/tomato salad). The special "Tanoreen spices" which are also found throughout the menu pack a palatable punch.

Modern Greats
Anyway, the question of what might constitute "modern greats" in the novel genre continues to intrigue (as do A Philosopher's suggestions, a couple of which I just picked up at the library). Anyway, I thought it would be helpful if I went ahead and posted the post 1940 section of Bauer's list (which is the part I'm wondering about -- perhaps as someone pointed out because it's too soon to tell what is "great" in that period).
Native Son, Richard Wright
The Stranger, Albert Camus
1984, George Orwell
Invisible Man, Ralph Ellison
Seize the Day, Saul Bellow
One Hundred Years of Solitude, Gabriel Garcia Marquez
If On a Winter's Night a Traveler, Italo Calvino
Song of Solomon, Toni Morrison
White Noise, Don Delillo
Possession, A. S. Byatt
Now, of these I've only read 1984 and The Stranger, and a bit from the beginning of One Hundred Years of Solitude (MrsDarwin then took possession and read it -- and I never got around to continuing).
Of the two I have read, 1984 is certainly an essential piece of cultural literacy, but I'm not sure that I'd label is as a great novel qua novel. The Stranger certainly helps you understand some things about mid 20th century intellectual movements, though I think you might be better off reading No Exit by Sartre instead (though that's not a novel, so I guess that doesn't count here.) However, I'll admit to finding The Stranger pretty darn unsatisfying just taken as a novel.
My point here is definitely not to attack Bauer's choices -- my literary education gets pretty spotty after 1940, so I'm in absolutely no position to do that. However, I'm trying to understand what sort of list this is. Is it more a "this is what English departments study" (Bauer is, after all, a grad student in English literature), or is it a list of novels that typify major 20th century intellectual trends, or is it an attempt to identify the "great" works of the period? (My impression from her introduction to the novel and various schools of novel writing is that it's one of the former two, but the overall plan of the book would just the last possibility.)
Whatever it is, I do have ambitions of improving on my knowledge of modern novels one of these days, so I'm curious as to whether these, or perhaps some other list, are what I should be reading.

I think she says that her list is by no means complete but just to give a good jumping off point. She mentioned that she chose books for their cultural importance, like 1984, and also books that show trends of thought (since ideally you're reading these books in order from Don Quixote on up).
It's been a while since I read it (got my copy from the library too) but it seemed she was pretty open about everyone needing to tweak their own lists.
- Anonymous said...
My general impression of the list as someone with both a BA and an MA in English, is that it is, as you suggested, the kind of things that English depts study.
Though I'm not sure that's going to be much different than a list that tries to identify major intellectual trends as that is one of the criteria for English depts. But Possession, for example, is the kind of book that really appeals to English dept types... as the protagonists are themselves literary scholars.
I agree that an attempt to identify great works is premature. At least one of the criteria should be that a book stands the test of time and speaks to later generations.
- rose said...
Well, I'm not familiar with most of those books, but my teachers would have been willing to let me do Possession for my senior thesis. Whether or not that means it's studied in most universities, I can't say.
Personally, I enjoyed Possession--the fake lit crit alone is worth the price of admission--but I'm not sure I'd really term it great. The author's ability to mimic period works is impressive, and I enjoyed the interweaving of plot threads, but . . . I don't know, nothing about it struck me as amazingly skilled or insightful. Also, I thought some of the female characters were rather unconvincing--which was odd, as the author is herself female.

SHORT STORY CONTEST- A time to write: Grisham returns as judge and jury
You've read stories by John Grisham, but now he wants to read your story. Even though the world-renowned author of The Firm, A Time to Kill, and his recent non-fiction hit, The Innocent Man, has a new book called The Associate slated for publication later this month, he has again accepted the challenge of wielding a gavel in the literary world by judging the Hook's annual short story contest.
Prizes and such
Surely the idea that one of the world's top-selling authors wants to read your work should be incentive enough to enter, but there's also the $1,000 in cash prizes.
The grand-prize winner receives $700, second place $200, and third place, $100.
Next comes the fame. The grand prize-winning story will be published in the Hook in late March when lots of literary types are in town for the Virginia Festival of the Book.
In addition, all three winners will be officially saluted at the opening event of this year's Festival (vabook.org) on Wednesday, March 18. This year's Festival hotshots (besides you, of course) include another lawyer turned novelist, David Baldacci, Duke professor Dan Ariely, author of Predictably Irrational (on the timely topic of behaviorial economics), as well as Big Stone Gap's top native novelist Adriana Trigiani, author of the upcoming Very Valentine.
The Rules
All manuscripts must be typed in 12 pt. or larger font, double-spaced, on 8 1/2" x 11" paper.
All manuscripts must be bound with one staple at the upper left corner, and be accompanied by a cover sheet containing the author's name, address, phone, email, and word count clumped within a match-book-size area on the cover sheet (so we can temporarily hide your name during the judging). Entries with your name in a header or footer on each page will be discarded and your fee refunded.
We're looking for short stories under 3,500 words that have not been published either in print or electronically. Any that exceed the word count will be discarded and your fee refunded.
By entering, you give The Hook permission to use your name, story, and even your smiling face in our pages and on our website. A new rule this year is that entrants must live in Central Virginia, which we define as Charlottesville and the counties of Albemarle, Orange, Madison, Louisa, Greene, Nelson, Fluvanna, and even Buckingham and Augusta.
In keeping with this newspaper's name, make sure your story "hooks" us from the first page, and please make sure it offers conflict, dialogue, action, and resolution. Mr. Grisham does not want to read essays, memoirs, and slices of life. He will not read cover letters. In fact, he judges the stories blind, so he will not ever see your name (unless you win, of course).
Anyone– professionals and amateur– can win, and everyone retains rights to re-publish the story in other places after it has run in The Hook.
Please check your manuscript for errors; we can't accept hand-corrected copies. No emailed or faxed entries!
Those whose stories withstand the steely scrutiny of Covesville's leading baseball booster will be notified by the end of the day Thursday, March 5.
There is a limit of two (2) manuscripts per author. Please enclose your entry fee of $5 for one entry or $10 for two entries. Any fees received exceeding the $1,000 prize-money will be donated to Grisham's ball park.

VANCOUVER -- An unnamed Vancouver police constable made a whopping $177,036 last year, ranking him sixth highest paid officer, just behind a VPD Supt. Andy Hobbs ($188,193) and Deputy Chief Warren Lemcke ($195, 580).
The top three incomes within the VPD were Deputy Chief Adam Palmer ($207,106), Deputy Chief Doug LePard ($223,284) and Chief Jim Chu ($314,021).
The police chief was also paid $13,284 as expenses last year, compared to $6,849 in 2010. Chu's salary in 2010 was $311,562.
The second highest paid civilian in the police force last year was Paul Patterson, the director of public affairs, who was paid $152,082, up from the $144,896 in 2010.
The salaries are included in list of employees whose earnings exceeded $75,000 last year.
The list, released Thursday by the police department, is posted online at: http://bit.ly/IqSAAB
The VPD list only discloses the names of senior-ranking officers, not constables.
A first-class constable earns $83,000 a year after four years of service, so the constable had to be making considerable overtime to make $177,000 a year.
Here is the range of salaries for constables, as of October 2011:
Probationary Constable - $58,695
4th Class Constable (after 1 year) - $62,887
3rd Class Constable (after 2 years) - $67,080
2nd Class Constable (after 3 years) -$75,465
1st Class Constable (after 4 years) - $83,850

I hope to discover for myself and share the strange magic that I see in the world around us. I am a witness to this world. I enjoy what I see by bringing others to see it too."

The Big Picture: Next Light
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 NEXT
4:21 - This was my EXACT verbatim reaction to the twist at the end of the first episode of The Walking Dead. I haven't picked up the show since.
Here's the very short version:
Probably because it wasn't bad on all counts like Twilight was.
In Twilight it's basically "I like the pale one better but the warm one keeps stalking me."
Oh God... it will never end, will it? But that's what girls are into these days, so they have to make more of it, just like they do with boys and repetative shooter/sports games. ...I hate people, I really do.
I'm not saying these will turn out bad... though I'm not partial to the one with the zombies. Isn't that necrophilia?
I thought Schlocktober ended already O_o
I just read the reveal...I can't wait for the watchdogs to come out of the woodwork after that...
Wait, what twist?
I see you've been following someones Twitter as well. I know how that feels, but I cant help myself and also find it amusing. Still mean though. :P
OT: Saw "Taylor Lautner" in the move Abduction (was dragged there by a group of girls) and OH GOD was that movie painful to watch. The girls loved it, so I can see what bob means and what we can expect to come.
I would give my left nut to see the Leviathan series on screen. It's a steampunk/biopunk alternate history WWI with interesting and believable characters, and NOBODY CARES ABOUT IT.
no justice, I tells ya.
I love how everyone just comes together to rip on what the teenage girls like. You may not like it, it may be badly written, but that doesn't mean you should you diss it. Everyone likes stupid shit when they're teenagers and even if they still like it into adulthood, what's it matter to you? Don't like it, ignore it.
It just pisses me off a tad whenever I hear nerds complain about getting bullied or teased for what they like then turn right around and bully or tease others for what they like.
I don't understand the point of getting upset or annoyed with what other people enjoy when it doesn't interefere with your life more than having to watch a movie trailer from time to time or see the books on a shelf in a store.
Hey, don't call the mortal instrument series the next Twilight. Its actually written well, with rounded likeable characters. The action is good and it really goes old school on monster lore. Its more of a love child between Buffy & Harry Potter than a Twilight clone.
Also the twist you worry about will probable blow over quickly as it is countered by another twist in the 3rd book.
...actually, thats all I got...
John Malkovich AND Rob Corddry in a film together?... never occurred to me before, but that's kinda... dopplegangerish. Just cuz bald.
And all yous guys saying Hunger Games is the next Twilight... no. This is coming from an adult male: it isn't that bad. Derivitive as hell, but at least competent and not insulting. Sure, it has a teenage female protagonist with a silly name, and a love triangle, but other than that, it reminded me more of Logan's Run or Soilent Green. Or 1984. Or Running Man. Or Lord of the Flies. Or Battle Royale. Oh wait, THIS MOVIE SU/////
50 Shades is gonna be the next Twilight, Bob.
Waaaaaait... Did anyone else see the cop from They Live, in the preview of the last movie he talked about. I don't mean an actor, that was the mask they used for the Aliens in They Live... and if not, it looked a LOT alike
Oh god, please don't bring up anything to do with Cassandra Clare on this site - she is a ... we'll go with c-word. Seriously. Was around the Harry Potter fandom when all this was going down and she was not nice about anything at all. I have refused to ahve anything to do with her since - she was pretty damn horrible back then.
... And to keep me from getting in too much trouble...
I'm looking forward to Warm Bodies - it looks interesting and I may have to pick up the book.
well twilight has end and i ignored them all so i can do the same for these too
the mortal instinct relationship thing won't go well with main stream audiences? i wounder why but i don't care enough to look it up my self.
edit- i found out why the main stream will not like it in the comments.
I'm not so sure if it's the content, as much as it's the fact that Twilight is very badly written from a technical stand point. People shouldn't read trash novelists, not because of the content of the novel as that's subjective, but because of the general lack of effort and skill they have to convey their thoughts. I usually bring up J. K. Rowling in such situations because, while Harry Potter is loved by many, it is not loved by me. The content of the Harry Potter series is great, it's just not my cup of tea from book five and beyond, but the actual writing is great and I can respect that. Stephanie Meyer, however, writes like a fan fiction or romantic novelette writer (I sincerely apologize to those who write smut novels because even those are edited better) who decided to just copy-paste her hastily written screen play and put it into a book. I can't respect a "writer" who doesn't know how to write and pushing these out to kids adults and getting fantastic praise just goes to show that you can put no effort into what you do and become great because you're a lazy ass with a decent idea. Not great values to impress upon anyone, frankly.
None of those films look remotely interesting to me. If it is just being made to make money and for no other reason, I'm out before the get go.
I remember reading some webcomic that parodied Twilight with a fake in-universe book series about a girl falling for a zombie. So Warm Bodies could be hilarious depending on how much they're leaning on that angle as opposed to making it the kind of movie most think of when they hear "romantic comedy". (I.e. straight romance story with some funny bits thrown in to broaden the potential audience.)
Psst. Bob, you forgot to mention Red Riding Hood when you were talking about Twilight cash-ins that have already happened. Didn't that one even have the same director as the first Twilight film?
That's because I imagine most guys wouldn't see two girls wanting them as a dilemma, but an opportunity. ;)
That his wife was alive and boning his best friend.
Thank you for making my day, Bob.
Thanks Bob for the reminder of why I only go to the theatres a max of twice a year, and I've already spent my yearly allotment on Wreck-it Ralph and The Avengers.
I know the same people who produced Twilight are starting to work on getting the book The Fault in Our Stars by John Green off the shelf and onto the big screen. He has a couple of different teen love stories, could be the next big thing, and I know his audience for his writing is super excited to see it happen. We're talking international best seller here. And WAY better than Stephanie Meyer.
The tone when Bob said the last line was hilarious.
Eh. These are new paranormal romance movies, but none of these are Twilight (okay, maybe the Host if Ms. Meyer starts ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL of her awful project). Twilight was about finally dragging the entrenched, functionally retarded zillions in the world out of hiding so we could laugh at them en masse. Now they've just gone back into their holes again. They haven't stopped existing, being dumb or making the world worse, though. So beware.
I think the ship has long since sailed for the Dark Materials books. They're in more the Harry Potter boat rather than Twilight, and we've more or less gotten past the rush to make those movies that gave us such memorable adaptations as The Seeker, Bridge to Terabithia, and Percy Jackson. Also Narnia too, but that was riding the wave of both Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, and who knows if they'll continue it all the way until the end.
I also had that initial outrage that I experienced myself when the author didn't acknowledge Battle Royale, but honestly it's a foreign film/novel meaning it's not common knowledge that it even exists to a lot of people, and the whole putting people in a survival death match situation that's viewed as entertainment, or just plain sports where people die instead of getting injured, is hardly limited to Battle Royale.
Anyone else hear shadowhunter and start thinking Gabriel Knight? :P
Hoho, fucking hell! Well a certain other Sci-fi film already sort of did that... kind of...
OT: I really hoped Maven had been worrying for nothing but... oh well.
all those movies look like syfy channel fodder, seriously mute the audio and watch them again, doesnt it look like a bunch of movies you'd take 5 seconds to figure out that look like garbage?
Well there goes my guess based on Bob's pitch of the concept, I assumed that Shadow Hunters, being supernatural entities, didn't have naughty bits, which can cause some problems in a relationship.
Is it just me, or does warm bodies seem like something ripped from the fallout series. humans hate all ghouls, even though non-feral ghouls are sentient and like normal people.
