Anime Saimoe Tournament 2012 (Japan)
Welcome to the official AnimeSuki thread for the 11th annual Anime Saimoe Tournament, one that has become somewhat of a favoured pastime for some people here. Nominations for the 2012 tournament started over a week age on May 25th, and is scheduled to go on for about a month. More information on the tournament will be added to this post and the supplementary websites as it becomes available.
Anything in strikeout is presently unavailable. Links, info, etc. will be provided when available.
The Anime Saimoe Tournament (Saimoe or AST for short) is a tournament held annually on the 2channel Japanese forums. People all around the world participate in the tournament to vote for the most moe anime character of the past year. (Though if last year was any indication, odds on you'll be blocked out from voting unless you're in Japan.) The tournament page is currently here and the nomination page is here, both in Japanese only. However, a plethora of information in English can also be found at this site which does live tracking of the tournament as well. For those IRC-savvy, you can try chatting with some of us here: #saimoe @ irc.rizon.net
The rules of how to properly participate in this thread:
Character Nomination
Any female characters (including female characters without names, gyroids, and guys who become girls at least once in a series) who have appeared in any anime which has aired, is airing, or will air in Japan between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012; appearances on these dates also make a girl eligible. For OVAs, the release date must be between or on these dates. For films, the premiere date in Japan must fall between or on these dates.
Girls are nominated by the first kana letter of their family name, if it's a Japanese name (foreign names use the first letter of the first name, which will usually be the given name). The letters are grouped in the traditional Japanese way, by grouping letters by the starting letter of the letter row. All starting letters have あ sounds. If you're not familiar with this aspect of the Japanese language, go here or ask about it in this thread.
Nominations are ordered by the first Japanese letter of anime. This also applies to anime with non-Japanese titles. Different letters enter nominations on designated days. In order to nominate this year, you need a code.
Each date and time listed is in JST (Japan Standard Time). To find out how your computer's internal clock compares with JST, here's an international clock.

Oh lordy. That time of the year again. Chock full of characters this time around -- hopefully, everything will be nuts.
And no Western participation allowed again, huh? Carry on...

It's that time of the year again! I think Saimoe's been on a Newbie-Veteran-Newbie schtick so odds are this year is for the vets. I mean all 4 Ries, Hayate no Gotoku, Saki and K-ON are still in it this year.
Personally, I'm rooting for Urabe Mikoto this year. Oh wait Gahara-san's eligible. Oh wait Nadeko is too. Oh wait Ika-musume. Oh wait Ami-tan- Oh wait Kurisu- Oh wait. . . Oh god it's overload this year.
I'll be up on arms this time. Full-time Saimoe 2012-blogging commitment plus sigmaking plus character cards (I wanna try the whole ISML thing).

I'm still new to this Saimoe League thing but I hope see Madoka, Index, Black Rock Shooter, Persona 4, and Dog Days characters make the cut. I can't wait to see the match-ups, I can tell that the choices are going to get tough this time.

Anyway, from top of my head, I've returning girls from K-On (Movie), Working (S2), Ika-Musume (S2), Denpa Onna (Ep 13), HnG (Movie), Milky Holmes (S2), IS (OVA), Strike Witches (Movie), Toradora (OVA), Nisemonogatari, A-Channel (OVA), Hanasaku (Continue), Aria (Continue), ZnT (S4), Shana (S3), Rotte (OVA), Fate/Zero, Kaminomi (OVA), Zombie (S2), Amagami (S2), Saki (Achiga...not sure where the cutoff will be but I guess appearing for even 5 seconds count...) and of course, Gintama and Conan. And I'm pretty sure I'm missing a few series...
Of course, with that returning list, we'll have, for probably one and only time, 6 Kugyu tsunderes.
To be realistic, though...
1. Don't see K-On going far. You can still call them favorite but their main hour has long past.
2. Will see if Nagi finish 2nd, again. Shana doesn't look as strong as she's over in ISML, Louise is guarantee to assassinate someone again, Taiga will be a shadow of herself (Doubt they'll want a repeat winner that only gets in b/c of an OVA). Aria is never that strong, and Rotte? She only got into Final 8 last year b/c of the madness...
3. Will see how Poplar-chan and Yamada do. This is no ISML where people keep voting for the same girl, over and over again.
4. New girl wise, Niku is favorite for obvious reason. Kobato is close behind. This season wise there's Chitanda and Kuroyukihime that contends from Day 1. Then there's also Karuta & Rinchiyo that'll surely contend. Last but not least, \アッカリ~ン/
5. Of course, there's also Saki. Most of the girl from the original series make a cameo. New girl wise, Toki and Kuro are the two that standout.

I'm also not too concerned about the single series domination happening again, as I'm inclined to believe that last year's Madoka★Magica onslaught was an exception; the likes of which we'll probably never see again. In all this time, such domination only happened once after all; and this is already the Eleventh Moe Grail War we have brewing here.
As for the declining amount of votes, we know the problem isn't exactly the number of voters, as I'm sure there are many others out there willing to cast their votes; but rather the amount of voter IP bans, which even extend to some Japanese IPs. The expansion of these bans is what's clearly killing the tournament.

We have a strong amount of shows and characters for this year's AST, so hopefully there will be more voter participation, even if the number of voter IP ban appears to be still on. I am expecting shows like Inu x Boku an Haganai to make it to the finals. Saki is highly likely going to have one or two girls in the final. The rest seems up for grabs. Maybe Makise Kurisu can take one, possibly Takakura Himari as well.

Y'know what would be funny? Someone remaking a "new" Anime Saimoe with a more open voting policy, AND taking the previous history of the tournament along with it. What can these people do? File a lawsuit?! LOL

Final wise I expect some Id@lmaster characters making it if their faction doesn't fall apart of course, even though to be honest this year's final might be extremely hard to predict. I feel like shows like Haganai or Inu Boku SS will pass round 2 but won't make it to finals. While I think the veterans doing worse than usual is expected. For Precure series wise it seems like Smile Precure looks strong enough it'll probably have at least 4 of its main girls making it in round 1 at least and it won't be too surprising if its Kise Yayoi turns out to be stronger than expected. Also of course I am expecting a Kugimiya Rie character making it into the finals as well.
For top 10 this year
1. Kise Yayoi (Smile Precure)
2. Aioi Yuuko (Nichijou)
3. Shijou Takane (Id@lmaster)
4. Shirogane Naoto (Persona 4)
5. Katsura Hinagiku (Hayate no Gotoku)
6. Amaha Miu (Mashiroiro Symphony)
7. Koko Hekmatyar (Jormungand)
8. Aoki Reika (Smile Precure)
9. Kurokami Medaka (Medaka Box)
10. Shana (Shakugan no Shana)

Public Meeting on 2012 E. Long Island Sound Dredged Material Supplemental EIS
Release Date: 11/08/2012
Contact Information: David Deegan, (617) 918-1017
(Boston, Mass. – Nov. 8, 2012) – EPA has released a Notice of Intent to prepare a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement to evaluate the potential designation of one or more dredged material disposal sites in Eastern Long Island Sound, and will host a public meeting in Groton, Conn. on Wednesday, Nov. 14.
The Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) is being developed with the input of other federal and state "cooperating agencies" and a wide range of stakeholders from the states of New York, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. The SEIS will update and build on the analyses that were conducted for the 2005 Long Island Sound Environmental Impact Statement that supported the designation of the Central and Western Long Island Sound disposal sites. As EPA works on the SEIS there will be numerous opportunities for public review and input throughout the entire process.
Next week's public meeting will present EPA's plan to proceed with this work and will be an opportunity for members of the public to provide input. The meeting details are listed below:
Date: Wednesday, November 14, 2012
Time: 4:00pm – 7:00pm, registration will begin at 3:30 pm.
Location: University of Connecticut Avery Point
Academic Building 308
1084 Shennecossett Road, Groton CT 06340
Directions: Available at (http://www.averypoint.uconn.edu/about/directions.html)
A meeting previously scheduled in Port Jefferson, N.Y. for Nov. 15 has been postponed due to the Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts on Long Island. EPA intends to reschedule a meeting in Port Jefferson in early January 2013.
More information:
- EPA's Notice of Intent was published in the Federal Register on Oct. 16, 2012 (https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2012/10/16/2012-25420/notice-of-intent-designation-of-an-ocean-dredged-material-disposal-site-odmds-in-eastern-long-island)

What impresses you most about women?
Their strength. In Sweden, there's a lot of talk of gender equality. That discussion isn't as prevalent in the U.S. I feel that successful American women are tougher than Swedish women — they create their space.
Do you have any relationship regrets?
I've hurt people unnecessarily when it was about my own insecurities. But you have to make those mistakes to become a better person. I've learned to steer away from the wrong kind of woman for me.
Any advice for couples who are thinking about moving in together?
Moving in is almost a bigger step than getting married. I love living with my love. But you have to lower your expectations a bit and understand that everything is not going to be the way that it was. The guy might be sloppier. The girl might need it more clean. You won't win all the battles, so pick the right ones and compromise.
Best date ever?
The one that got me into the relationship I'm in now.

And spoke the law to shape our way,

We eat and drink, and view thy death,
And live thy law in love, that we
May all be quickened by thy breath.

That's why every practice should have a pharmacist on staff for counseling, mtm, and formulary management. We could save the doctors thousands of dollars and hours in wasted time fighting with insurance companies. We'd also be much more objective with updating doctors about new drugs. Yes, I realize that they drug reps take you all out to lunch.....I'm not so good at the brown nose stuff.....

I kid you not, I got a lecture on formulating just this kind of statement today. Graduate school: ruining future scientists one lecture at a time. At the rate I'm going, I won't have a rational/sensible thought left by the time I graduate. I'll simply speak in acronyms and form ridiculous hypotheses. *headdesk*
On the other hand, the girl in front of me in class today who--again, I am not making this up--wore jeans that rode down far enough to show the back of her entire thong (including the large bow on the back) and had her Lexus keys and iPhone thrown under her chair and nothing on the table (not taking any notes whatsoever), well, I hope to god she ends up as a drug rep instead of as a scientist or physician.

Helpful Drug rep: Tell them to think of the last time they saw a white horse

Helpful drug rep: exactly! It works every time! They will be so busy thinking about the horse the hiccups will go away
Thanks for the priceless medical advice Mrs. SmartRep

Besides the hot exploding robot action the one thing we're most looking forward to in the Total Recall remake is watching Bryan Cranston go off the rails as the big bad Vilos Cohaagen. So just how bad is Cranston's Cohaagen, what does he want now that this version of Total Recall is set on Earth (not Mars), and what sort of futuristic weapons does he play with? We asked, he explained with the vigor and delightful fury that only comes from Cranston.
Was it a tough decision to get on board with this [a remake]?
Bryan Cranston: I pitched Len Wiseman on how I would play it, and he liked it. So that's how we did it. And I thought what if he [Cohaagen] was thinking, "I've got better ideas! Follow me people and I will take you to utopia! There is no unemployment in my world. Yes, there is a class system. And yes those of us who enjoy the fruits of labor will still do that. And then there are those of us who should be laborers, right?" Hauser, Colin Farrell's character, is just like a rebellious teenage son. I love him. I want to get him in line and punish him a little bit with a little tough love, but he'll come around.
Ronny Cox's character was an Oxygen Baron. What is your character's motivation, besides creating a utopia?
Bryan Cranston: There's this insurgency that's going on in the underground, I like to call them terrorists, because I think we all agree we don't like terrorists. So I like to call them terrorists. They are trying to undermine the greater good. If it was up to them they would blow up the res... we can't have that. They're just... they're like gnats at a picnic. You get tired of killing all like this. And you gotta just root them out, find out where they nest, get rid of them one and for all, and we'll all live happily ever — well, I'll live happily ever after. And I think people want me to live happily ever after.
We've seen seen the hand phone, what sort of gadgets do you get to play with?
Bryan Cranston I have all the gadgets. I play with things that go boom, and rise and separate. I have a serum that I play with. Oh yeah. You've heard of the date rape drug? This is like the motherlode of date rape drugs. This goes beyond that. This rapes your mind. That's what I play with.

Meningitis is an infection of the meninges, the membranes that protect the spinal cord and the brain. When the meninges become infected, they start to swell, putting pressure on the spinal cord or brain and causing potentially life-threatening complications. Meningitis is called an acute condition because symptoms strike quickly and suddenly.
Although meningitis is most often caused by viruses, bacterial meningitis is more serious. The bacteria that cause bacterial meningitis are just about everywhere—they even live inside your respiratory tract. But they don't always make you sick. Experts don't always know why bacterial meningitis occurs. Some people get it when their immune system is down or they've recently been sick. Suffering a head injury may also increase your bacterial meningitis risk.
It's important to know what's causing your meningitis. Even though all types affect the same area of the body, they can have different outcomes and require different treatments.
Facts about bacterial meningitis
Although viral meningitis isn't usually serious, bacterial meningitis can lead to significant brain damage. Swelling of the meninges can result in paralysis or a debilitating stroke. In some cases, bacterial meningitis is fatal.
Bacterial meningitis can be caused by many different types of bacteria, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitides, and Haemophilus influenzae, and vaccines are available that target many of them. Children now routinely get a meningitis vaccine around ages 11 to 12, followed by a booster vaccine at age 16. Bacterial meningitis is usually more common in infants under 1 year of age and people ages 16 to 21. College students living in dorms or other close quarters are at increased risk, as are adults with certain medical problems, including those without a spleen.
The most common symptoms of bacterial meningitis are:
Painful, stiff neck with limited range of motion
High fever
Feeling confused or sleepy
Bruising easily all over the body
A rash on the skin
Experiencing a sensitivity to light
These are symptoms to look for in children:
Vomiting from a high fever
Frequent crying
Swelling of the head
Lack of appetite
Seizures (sometimes also seen in adults if the meningitis is advanced)
Symptoms typically come on quickly, in as little as a couple of hours or up to a day or two. If you think you or your child may have bacterial meningitis, go to an emergency room right away.
To diagnose bacterial meningitis, a doctor will usually perform a spinal tap (also called a lumbar puncture) to take a sample of fluid from around the spinal cord. The fluid is then analyzed for bacteria. The doctor will also talk to you about your symptoms and perform a physical exam, as well as check your joints for flexibility.
Other tests may include:
CT scan of the brain
Blood and urine testing
Swab of fluids from your nose or throat
Prompt treatment of bacterial meningitis is crucial—it can save your life. Once a doctor has confirmed a diagnosis of bacterial meningitis and identified the type of bacteria that's causing the infection, you'll start taking antibiotics to kill the bacteria.
Antibiotics are given intravenously, through a needle placed into a vein (usually in the arm or hand). They may also be given along with a corticosteroid to help alleviate inflammation and swelling. Treatment also includes plenty of fluids to ward off dehydration.
Vaccines are available to help prevent bacterial meningitis. Ask your health care provider if you are a good candidate for one of them. Also call your health care provider to talk about preventive strategies if you've been around someone who has bacterial meningitis, because it can be contagious.
Up to 10 percent of people with bacterial meningitis don't survive. Some who survive the illness may battle seizures, brain damage, hearing loss, and disability for the rest of their life. But many people with bacterial meningitis survive without any permanent complications, usually thanks to quick diagnosis and treatment.
Key points to remember
If you feel like you've got the flu with unusual stiffness in your neck—if, for instance, you can't touch your chin to your chest—it could be meningitis. It's a good idea to get any symptoms checked out and treated as soon as possible to help ward off potentially grave complications.

getitnowmarketing = drellisdee?
If so, is this version identical to RC2 on XDA?
If not, is this some sort of co-operation?
re: xda-developers - View Single Post - Section for the LG Optimus One P500
Yup, that works fine.
P500 Optimus One
Thanks I'll update my script soon so other's that have enabled swap on sd can mass-storage mount sdcard in recovery untill then use the above commands if you have partitoned sd card for swap.
I have the new Verizon LG Vortex which I understand used to be the Optimus One. If this is correct, can I apply these root programs, etc for the Optimus One onto my Vortex? Thanks.
You must use vortex recovery. You can use the enable jit one though. Diff devices.
Where is the file "install-recovery.sh" adb returns me:
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
failed on '/system/etc/install-recovery.sh' - No such file or directory
I guess this is because the file "install-recovery.sh" is missing. Where can i find it ? And how do i put it in my Lg O1 ?
You dont want that file there as it keeps recovery from "sticking" its not in all roms usually there ater you do an ota update. That command removes it. If its not there move on to next step.
Thank you very much, problem solved
How come I can't see the picture above when I do "reboot recovery" on CMD, and when I do Power + Vol. Down + Home key while off? Is there something I still need to do....?
Did you flash it as per the entire instructions?
Only one question before I do this: how do I get back to the original recovery ? Just in case I have to take the phone to waranty or something like that
Nevermind, I installed it now on my phone. For backing up nand, do I need the phone to be USB plugged?
No you do not. it goes to your sd card
I tried this, but i get the warning
"mount permission not granted"
I have tried issuing the commands through ADB and through droid explorer.
Im using win 7 x64.
please can you advise...I have root access through z4root.
I followed these instructions and was able to flash 1.1 recovery image to LG OPTIMUS S.
From adb shell, I was able to do reboot recovery and get to recovery menu and I was able to take backups successfully
However, I am not able to get into recovery mode when I press Vol Down or Home Button during Power ON cycle.
Is there a way to get into recovery mode during switching ON the phone
Also, I tried to flash 1.2 version of this. I got bad mount sector error.
1.1 works good, but cannot go into recovery mode during power ON.
I just want to fix this before I flash custom ROM.
Any help is appreciated.
Hello everyone, I wanted to know how to do a reset after putting the smartphone Custom recovery and jit.
menu backup / restore you can do a reset to bring the smartphone to factory settings, keeping the recovery and jit
Thanks to all for replies and sorry if the text is garbled, but I use google translator!
Bump Bump,
I have tried everything, I can run the mount command and this gives me output, but when i try to run:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
I get mount permission denied
I have tried to use root explorer to mount RW then i manually copyed in the flash_image which worked, I now have the flash_image in /system/bin/
but when i issue chmod /system/bin/flash_image i get:
unable to chmod /system/bin/flash_image : Operation not permitted
When i try to restore a nandroid backup, the recovery says: run "nandroid-mobile.sh recovery" from adb... why? i can make a backup but i can't restore it... Wow
After installing this and rebooting the mobile phone, I'm getting this message on the screen:
Fastboot mode started

-- portchange --
STALL GET_DESCIPTOR 128 6 3840 o 5
fastboot: processing commands
What am I supposed to do now?
Thanks for the helping
same problem for me as for magicknot followed the instructions but ended up with fastboot mode on boot and nothing happens. please help (a)
Same problem with me also ,i think i bricked my device,plsease help me
I had problems with restoring from backups with message
run "nandroid-mobile.sh recovery" from adb"
but when I did this the script complained that it could not mount the sdcard.
It turns out that my sdcard was formatted with no partitioning and hence incorrect partition names were being used in the script.
The solution was:-
1. save the whole contents of the sdcard on my PC.
2. repartition the sdcard, using either the recovery program's built-in tools or a linux box with an sdcard adapter (don't forget to format your partition if going the linux route).
You will want a FAT partition for your storage, an ext2 partition for later use by app2sd, and some swap space too. I also added via linux a fourth partition for the debian linux distribution at some point.
3 Add your saved data back to the card.
3. reboot recovery mode with the new sdcard and and you should now be able to restore backups.
Doesn't work for me, I did everything as mentioned, but it opens up a LG recovery ( I think) which asks me to set Language,date etc :/ and all my apps and stuff is gone :/.What is this, can someone help?
Hi, I have problems making the recovery, here's how I did it if anyone knows where I could be wrong:
z4root.1.3.0.apk I installed the file and I run, it has created the icon z4root "I opened and I put" Permanent Root "with prior activation of" USB debugging "because it will not let me root , while doing the "Permanent Root" the terminal rein) and after reinciciar I turn to get into the "z4root" and verify that this root because it makes (your device is Already rooted) in the notifications I get (# superuser z4root Superuser Has Been Granted permission), also has created an icon called "superuser" when you open this program "z4root" I select and I put afford. Having done all this I run the program "Terminal Emulator" and putting the first two lines I get the following in the mobile:
$ # mount-o remount, rw-t yaffs2 / dev/block/mtdblock1 / system
$ cat / sdcard / flash_image> / system / bin / flash_image
cat / sdcard / flash_image> / system / bin / flash_image: Operation not permitted
If I put the # on each line as shown below do nothing:
$ # mount-o remount, rw-t yaffs2 / dev/block/mtdblock1 / system
$ # cat / sdcard / flash_image> / system / bin / flash_image
$ # chmod 755 / system / bin / flash_image
$ # mv / system / etc / install-recovery.sh / system / etc / install-recovery.sh.bak
$ # mount-o remount, ro-t yaffs2 / dev/block/mtdblock1 / system
$ # flash_image recovery / sdcard/recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img
$ # reboot recovery
I sorry, my English is very bad, I translated with google translator.
Dont type the "#" thats just the cursor prompt showing you have a root # shell not a user $ shell. To change the $ to # you have to type su first.

Our schools are in the middle of their UIL contests this time of year. The UIL web site states:
The University Interscholastic League exists to provide educational extracurricular academic, athletic, and music contests. The UIL was created by The University of Texas at Austin in 1909 and has grown into the largest inter-school organization of its kind in the world.
These state-wide contests motivate kids, teachers and schools to strive for excellence in academic subjects, athletics and the arts. To give you an example of how AMAZING Middle School kids can play, here is an audio clip of the Tejeda Middle School Honor Orchestra playing two movements from the Leyden Serenade last week at their UIL contest. All three judges gave them the highest possible scores. (DISCLAIMER: My wife, Paula, is their teacher and I coach the bass players a few mornings every week before school, so I'm definitely biased. However, the judges agreed with me that these kids are great!)
Listening to this recording reminded me that we are in the middle of a real budget crisis in Texas and a horrible recession. But, why is it that the first thing that folks talk about eliminating from our schools is the arts? Study after study proves that this is a bad policy and will hurt our kids and our future. Nobody suggests cutting football from every school!
The Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) has a web site with tons of materials for arts advocacy.
These materials show that the study of performing arts leads to:
* improved test scores (music students in Texas All-State perform 22% better on the SATs than their peers. Students just enrolled in the arts perform 13% better.)
* a high state of motivation that produces the sustained attention necessary to improve performance. (In Texas, highs schools rated "Exemplary" have a 60% participation rate in the fine arts. Schools rated "Low Performing" only have 43% arts participation rates.)
* there are specific links that exist between high levels of music training and the ability to manipulate information in both working and long-term memory
* there are specific links between the practice of music and skills in geometrical representation
The arts train students for the future. Best selling business author Daniel Pink says, "We need to make sure we are preparing our kids for their future and not our past . . . What I see in businesses is a premium on novelty, nuance and customization. That's what business is about today. And I fear that our schools are going exactly in the opposite direction. They are increasingly about routines, right answers, and standardization at precisely the moment that the economy is no longer about those things."
I'm proud to have the opportunity to work with the young musicians at Tejeda Middle School. I know this early training will help them in all their studies throughout their entire academic careers. Let's just hope that these programs don't disappear.

Interesting to think about Honda's history in the U.S. In the early 1960s, it was the Nifty Thrifty Honda Fifty, the 50cc motorbike whose ads (with a nod toward the Hells Angels and their Harleys) suggested that "you meet the nicest people on a Honda."
In 1969, they revolutionized the motorcycle industry with the electric-start (what? electric starting? with a button?) four-cylinder, disk-brake-equipped 750cc touring bike.
In 1975, they brought Americans the Honda Accord, which made its own history. Yes, the same Accord brand as the one you see now.
So here's a tongue-in-cheek video that kind of sums up the Honda brand.

Jon Fitch (24-4-1 MMA, 14-2-1 UFC) still dreams of being a UFC champion, but he doesn't think he'll have a shot this year.
The 34-year-old American Kickboxing Academy product believes Georges St-Pierre will down Nick Diaz in their UFC 158 meeting and that Strikeforce title holder Nate Marquardt will likely earn the next shot at "GSP."
In other words, if Fitch needs a shake-up at the top to earn a second crack at the welterweight title, he doesn't think it's going to happen in 2013.
"I think a shake-up could have happened if Johny Hendricks would have gotten the title shot," Fitch told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "I think right now it looks like 'GSP' will probably defeat Diaz. The way it looks, I think there's a strong possibility the fight after that will probably be Marquardt just because it's champion vs. champion."
Fitch, of course, has long been considered one of the top welterweights in the world. In 2008, an eight-fight octagon win streak earned him a shot at St-Pierre's belt, but Fitch wound up losing the UFC 87 headliner by unanimous-decision.
Fitch rebounded with a five-fight win streak but has hit a few roadblocks in recent times with a 1-1-1 mark over his most recent three fights. Those results have forced Fitch down a few notches in the 170-pound rankings, but his impressive UFC 153 win over Brazilian Erick Silva have left some wondering if perhaps the 17-time UFC veteran should again be considered as one of the division's elite fighters.
The first few months of 2013 present an interesting time for the UFC's welterweights, as no less than six of the division's best fighters, including St-Pierre and Diaz, square off at March's UFC 158 event. Fitch also has his next assignment: Demian Maia (17-4 MMA, 11-4 UFC) at February's UFC 156 event. Depending on how things shake out, a victory could prove very meaningful for Fitch. However, he insists he's not allowing himself to consider the possibilities.
"I think one of the mistakes I made in the past was thinking about what this next fight is going to bring me rather than just focusing on the fight, itself," Fitch admitted. "Throw all of my attention, all my energy, into one fight at a time and make sure I get the most out of that one fight. I think that showed. When I do that, that's what happened in the last fight. If I continue that process, it's going to be a lot more great fights like that."
And since he's convinced the UFC's welterweight title is all but locked up through the end of the year, it's what happened in his last fight that provides his current motivation. Fitch turned in a gutsy, impressive effort against the flashy Silva, and he said the potential for more crowd-pleasing efforts is providing all the motivation he needs to grind away at the gym.
"Fight by fight," Fitch said. "Each fight is it's own fight.
"This is a big thing. I need the money. I need the fight. I need to perform, and I love what I do. The motivation is that in itself."
UFC officials have yet to announce what comes next for St-Pierre should he get past Diaz, which isn't a given. Marquardt is a possibility, but he currently has a fight with Tarec Saffiedine schedule for Jan. 12 at Strikeforce's final event. With all of the moving parts, there is a slight chance that Fitch could find himself in a favorable position come year's end, but he accepts that now is not his time. in fact, as far as he's concerned, the welterweight titile schedule has already been written.
"I'm not even going to think about taking any kind of top-seed-type stuff for the whole 2013," Fitch said. "I think that's already booked, honestly."

THE Romsey 5 road race retains its allure to runners from around the area – even after the latest of a number of location changes inspired by traffic considerations.
This year the race transferred to Broadlands Estate after many seasons at the Greatbridge Industrial Estate, using a circuit around Fishlake Meadows.
This attraction no doubt swelled the numbers of entries taken on the morning at Crossfield Hall.
Once the gates to Broadlands were opened nearly 500 competitors flooded into the grounds and enjoyed a three-lap course as flat as a billiard table and entirely traffic free.
It was easy to navigate, despite the lapping of some slower runners towards the latter part of the race, and race organisers Concept Sports even managed to conjure a calm morning to allow the runners to feel the benefit of the fast terrain.
Toby Lambert of Winchester AC built up his speed gradually, being more used to much longer distances, and pulled progressively away from the long crocodile of runners twisting around the paths of Broadlands.
He won in a time of 24mins 24secs from Southampton's Steve Phillips (25.09), who enjoyed a solo run similar to Lambert.
The third man home was John Collier of Westbury Harriers, who came into the race fresh from his Parkrun win at Eastleigh the day before, and he finished in a time of 25.46.
Top veteran in the men's race was Andy Morgan Lee, now running in Thames Hare & Hound colours.
The first two ladies home had both travelled long distances to take part at Romsey, Joanna Emery of Coventry Godiva just managing to hunt down and pass Camilla Briggs of Bristol & West AC in the last 400 metres, winning in 29.05 with a six-second margin over Briggs. Third lady and top veteran was Helen Wallington from Totton.
The 'home' teams of Romsey Road Runners and Halterworth Harriers had predictably large contingents in the race.
The Harriers had 19 runners taking part, with Michael Tanner the first Harrier home in just 28.42, taking over two minutes off his personal best and finishing 14th place overall and fourth in his category.
He was closely followed by Mark Sills and Jon Tilt.
First woman home was Ann Bartholomew, running it in just 36.11 (and coming first in her category), with Rachel Shimell (37.17, fourth in category) and Jane Heyer (37.26, second in her category ) c o m - p l e t i n g the women's A team, which came second overall in the team event.
Carol Anderson (38.17, third in her category) followed close behind.
Newcomer Eleanor Wilde, who was celebrating her birthday and running as a birthday treat.
The Road Runners had 18 runners taking part, with the Romsey Ladies' A team of Amanda Hull, Lynne Whitaker and Hannah White finishing first in the team event.
The women's B team, of Anni Dawes, Julia Abab and Pippa Archibald finishing in fourth place.
In addition to the two fantastic ladies' team performances, the Romsey men also put in some great individual displays.
Jimmy Hunt was the highest placed Road Runner in 29.53 (26th overall) closely followed by Marc Balistrari, who clocked a personal best time of 30.18.
E l s e w h e r e , Romsey's Ali Longworth finished the Gloucester Marathon, his first in eight years, in a time of 3.36.58.
