John Stark principal leaving at end of the yearBy NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent
January 30. 2013 10:18PM
WEARE - After three years of being far from home, John Stark Regional High School Principal Chris Mosca will be heading back to Maine and the search is on for a new administrator.
In a letter posted on the school's website, Mosca said he has informed the school board of his resignation effective June 30, the end of the school year. Mosca lives in the Augusta, Maine area, according to Asst. Supt. Pamela Shepard, but leaves his family to spend his weeks in Weare during the school year.
" . Because my work at the high school requires me to live a considerable distance from my family, I concluded after much reflection that I would like to seek career opportunities that could provide a greater sense of balance for me personally and professionally," Mosca said in the letter.
Shepard said Mosca's leaving will be a loss for the school district and credited the principal with bringing greater student involvement to a variety of areas at John Stark.
"There are now student representatives to the school board, he revived the student council and introduced an advisory program," Shepard said. "He has made a lot of positive changes for the school in the time he's been here."
The school board has been advertising for candidates to fill Mosca's shoes and will accept applications through Feb. 15. In the meantime, the school board is assembling a screening committee that will sort through the applicants. Shepard said the board is compiling a list of groups that should be represented on the committee, including teachers, members of the public at large and administrators, but hasn't selected the committee members yet.
From Feb. 15 through March 15, the committee will select three to four finalists to recommend to the superintendent. The finalists will be invited to interview with the superintendent and school board.
"We hope to have a final nomination by the April 10 school board meeting and the superintendent will select the new principal," said Shepard.

With people living longer, and the divorce rate hovering around 50 percent, many people are falling in love later in life, getting remarried, and sometimes combining assets.
With people living longer, and the divorce rate hovering around 50 percent, many people are falling in love later in life, getting remarried, and sometimes combining assets.
The potential result of late-blooming love is disagreement between adult children and the parent's second (or third) spouse. A recent example of such a "will contest" involves a well-known South Carolina family.
Former University of South Carolina football coach Jim Carlen had three children with his first wife. In the early 1980s, Carlen divorced his wife and married his second wife, Meredith. Carlen and Meredith had one child together.
Based on allegations in court documents, Carlen apparently wrote a series of wills, among other estate planning documents. All his wills were similar, leaving assets to his wife and children, with substantial property going to the children.
In 2009, Carlen was diagnosed with dementia. In 2010, with Carlen already in poor mental and physical health and unable to drive on his own, he was allegedly driven to a new attorney who presented him with a redrafted will. Carlen signed the document. According to the new will, his estate, worth about $10 million, would pass only to his second wife, Meredith. Carlen's first three adult children and 12 grandchildren from those children would receive nothing.
The three children from Carlen's first marriage didn't find out about the last will and their disinheritance until after his death last year. They filed a petition in court, asking the judge to void the 2010 will, because, they said, it was the product of undue influence by Meredith at a time when Carlen had diminished mental capacity.
The petition states, in part: "Unlike the 2007 will which provided for both Coach Carlen's children and his wife, Meredith, the 2010 will left all of his property to his wife Meredith and left nothing whatsoever to his children or grandchildren: not money; not personal property; not a photograph; (nor) memorabilia from any point in Coach Carlen's career or a token for them to remember him by."
Steps to preventing these sorts of "will contests" include not using wills in the first place. When wills are used, they must go through probate court.
It is easy to fight a will, and your assets are disclosed for the world to know.
Trusts avoid probate, and are private. It is more difficult to fight a trust.
Whether using a will or a trust, you must be of sound mind to sign either document.
When it comes to elder law estate planning with "blended" families, that is, new spouses and children from past unions, careful planning using trusts is usually recommended.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyBoth adults and larvae of this beetle are voracious predators, taking a wide range of prey including fish. They actively search for prey, and periodically swim to the surface in order to take in air (3). Adults often fly at night, and may land on glass surfaces or roads, mistaking them for water (2). When threatened, they exude a foul-smelling fluid from the anus that deters potential predators from eating them (5). Females lay their eggs in cavities, which they cut in the stems of water plants that protrude from the water. The eggs hatch after a number of weeks (5).

Horn elected NH GOP chair, lauds party's 'passion'By TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 26. 2013 5:00PM
BEDFORD — Jennifer Horn of Nashua was elected Saturday to lead a state Republican Party that its leaders say needs to reunify.
"Thank you to all of you," Horn said after her selection was announced. "Your passion, your energy, your voice is what defines our party and makes us strong."
After an early round of voting made Horn the victor by about 30 votes over Bristol's Andrew Hemingway, he called for committee members to make Horn's selection unanimous by casting one vote.
"I was running a campaign to bring the voice of the grass roots to the table, and at the end of the day, it was a very close race, and that's what the people chose," he said.
Former presidential candidate Andy Martin also ran for the post, but failed to receive a nomination.
In another contested race, Fran Wendelboe of New Hampton defeated Jeff Newman of Concord for assistant secretary. J.P. Marzullo of Deering was elected vice chairman. Marzullo ran unopposed to replace outgoing Vice Chairman Cliff Hurst.
Saturday's NHGOP annual meeting also served as a platform for state Republican leaders to tell the 428 committee members who attended that the party must avoid becoming fractured or seeing a third party break away.
Executive Councilor Chris Sununu said he had a conversation in the parking lot of Bedford High School, where the convention was held, in which he was told that there was an opportunity "to break away into a third party."
"You're nuts, to that gentleman who said that to me in the parking lot," Sununu said. "A third party idea in the Republican Party is the greatest thing the Democrats could hope for right now. It is absolutely what they want us to do. They are dying for this room to become fractured."
Sununu said the party should instead unify, the way it did in 2010, when Republicans swept elections for the House, Senate, Executive Council and the congressional seats up for election that year.
"We have to find that common ground," he said.
U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., told the group that the party has to recognize its losses from 2012, including races for governor, Executive Council and the House, and the near loss in the state Senate in order to focus on winning elections in the future.
"When Republicans lose, New Hampshire loses," she said. "When Republicans lose, our country loses.
"There is too much at stake for us to fail." she said.
Ayotte also called for party unity.
"We cannot afford to be divided," she said. "Today is an opportunity for us to come together, to rededicate ourselves to the principles that are so important in the Republican Party.
"When we stop fighting ourselves ,and we start fighting the real problem, we win," she said.
Sununu said Republicans have to find ways to win to keep Democratic policies under control.
"They have good intentions. Those knuckleheads actually have good intentions," he said of Democrats. "But those intentions lead to absolutely horrible policy, and they continually erode and decay that foundation, those fundamental principles, that built this state up."
State Sen. Andy Sanborn, R-Bedford, said Republicans need to help each other to fight the "tax-and-fee agenda" of Gov. Maggie Hassan and other Democrats.
"We need to recognize who our enemy is," Sanborn said. "Because Maggie Hassan is not our friend. Maggie Hassan is not the friend of the taxpayer. She's not the friend of the small-business community. She's not the friend of people who have a belief in family values, personal freedom and personal responsibility."
Ayotte also praised outgoing Chairman Wayne MacDonald, calling him "a quiet hero of the party." She presented MacDonald with the state GOP's Norris Cotton Award. State Sen. Jeannie Forrester, R-Meredith, was presented with the Gov. Meldrim Thomson "Putting Principle Above Politics" Award.
The delegates also considered nine amendments to the party's bylaws. Just one, to forbid the state party to impose a fee or tax on members, passed, according to state party spokesman Meg Stone. Those that failed included proposals to provide the chairman a salary, creating a "chairman emeritus" position and not allowing government employees to be a state committee member.

Four-alarm blaze caused by cigarette displaces 60 in ManchesterBy PAT GROSSMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
July 29. 2013 6:58AM
MANCHESTER – An overnight four-alarm blaze in a three-story Washington Park Estates apartment building sent about 60 people fleeing from their homes in the middle of the night, a fire official said.
"It was the scariest thing I have ever been through in my life," said Alexander Morin, 26. It wasn't a fire alarm that woke him about 3 a.m. Monday but a strange crackling sound.
"I woke up and looked out and saw the light," he said. Flames had engulfed his third-floor balcony, sweeping upward from the first floor, and though he did not know it at the time, had already made it into the attic of the 40-unit apartment building.
He yelled to his sleeping wife, Jessica, waking her, and then grabbed their 4-year-old son. The family fled just ahead of flames sweeping into their living room.
"We were heading out our door and the fire was literally in our living room and I cried," Jessica Morin said. "I cried."
The young family ran down the third-floor hallway, down the stairs and out the door to safety. She was dressed only in a towel, while her husband and son were in undershorts.
They lost everything in the blaze, but Morin said they have rental insurance.
Fire Chief James Burkush said the fire was caused by the improper disposal of smoking materials. Told how the blaze began, Morin said, "Again? That's so outrageous. It was a non-smoking building."
The Morins, who have lived at the Washington Place complex for about four years, moved into the building because it is specifically a non-smoking building.
Previously, they lived at 22 Country Club Drive, which on July 21, 2012, shortly after they moved out, caught fire when someone carelessly tossed a cigarette off a balcony.
An alarm directly wired to the fire station alerted firefighters at 3:02 a.m. to the blaze. Burkush said smoke detectors inside the building did not go off immediately because the fire was on the outside of the building. He believes once flames got into the attic, a heat alarm alerted the station to the fire.
Soon after, 911 calls began pouring in.
When fire crews from the Hackett Hill station arrived, flames were shooting up the three balconies on the Front Street side of the building. A few people were already outside, but firefighters immediately entered the building and went door to door to ensure everyone made it to safety.
A second alarm was quickly sounded and then a third, bringing all off-duty firefighters to the scene, and then a fourth. About 100 firefighters battled the blaze, which was brought under control in about 90 minutes.
The 40-unit building has fire walls, dividing it into three sections. A third of the building, in the area where the fire started, was destroyed, including the Morins' apartment.
No resident was injured, but one firefighter suffered a minor injury to his knee when he tripped and fell, Burkush said.
Fire crews managed to save about two-thirds of the building, according to Burkush, but damage still is estimated at between $750,000 and $1 million. None of the apartments are habitable, since power to the building is disconnected.
Thirty-eight of the apartments were occupied, according to Lisa Venditti, vice president of CPM, which owns the building.
She said they are grateful for the work of the firefighters, police and the Red Cross who are assisting an estimated 60 residents. "We're very relieved everybody got out safely," Venditti said.
The American Red Cross, New Hampshire Disaster Action Team of volunteers are working with the displaced residents.
Maria White, chief executive officer, said they are working with management of the apartment complex to determine if a temporary shelter is needed to accommodate the displace residents. At this time, residents may check in at the clubhouse to receive assistance.
Residents also are asked to call the Red Cross' emergency assistance line at 1-800-464-6692.
Earlier story follows:
MANCHESTER – An overnight three-alarm blaze in a three-story West Side apartment building sent about 60 people fleeing from their homes, a fire official said.
Flames were shooting up three balconies at 24 Country Club Drive when the first fire truck arrived on the scene after numerous 911 calls were received just after 3 a.m. A second-alarm was quickly sounded and firefighters went into rescue mode, entering the Hilltop Apartment building to make sure everyone got out safely. The third alarm brought in all off-duty firefighters.
No one was reported injured. Fire officials said this morning the cause was a cigarette carelessly disposed on a first-floor porch. Damage estimates are between $750,000 and $1 million, according to a release and fire officials on scene.
The building contained 40 apartments, 38 of them occupied, according to a spokeman for the property owner.
Fire crews managed to save about two-thirds of the building, according to a fire official.

Mission and History
The Gould Center for Humanistic Studies enhances CMC's mission to educate leading minds by providing opportunities for research, study, and experience in art, literature, history, philosophy and other fields as a means to understand and develop the power and use of the imagination. The Gould Center provides mutual research opportunities for students and faculty in the humanities and emphasizes the relationship of the humanities and the moral imagination through special programs in a range of fields including music, art, and literature. The Gould Center accomplishes its goals by sponsoring research and visiting fellowships, lectures, seminars, artistic and musical performances, and traveling fellowships.
The Center for Humanistic Studies was established in 1985 under the guidance of Ricardo Quinones, then professor of comparative literature. The focus of the Center was the exploration of how science, industrialization, and changing values affected literature and the arts since the Renaissance. In 1989, the name of the Center was changed to The Family of Benjamin Z. Gould Center for Humanistic Studies to honor a $2 million grant from the Shirley H. and Benjamin Z. Gould Foundation and the generous support of Mrs. Shirley Gould, her daughter, Barbara Gould, and son, Edward S. Gould '65. The grant allowed for a program of student fellowships, faculty research grants, a visiting fellows program, and seminars.

What are Tics vs. Stereotypical Behaviors?
Is there a difference between tics and stereotypical behaviors? We are not sure what my son has, possibly Asperger`s, sensory issues, ADD, anxiety, etc. Could be some Tourettes in the mix. Anyway, he is taking ADD meds, despite the warnings about tics and doing much better in school, but the movements are worse. Is there a difference or does is matter?
Tics and stereotypical behaviors are different. Tics are involuntary movements, while stereotypical behaviors are more ritualistic or habit-like. They can be hard to tell apart sometimes. Tourettes is a variation of a tic disorder that includes vocal tics or utterances, so again, this can be hard to distinguish from a stereotypical behavior. These symptoms can be seen in ADD, in Asperger's, and by themselves.
While ADD meds may provoke tics, most research has shown that they are safe to use in people with tic disorders. The decision to continue the medicine is a judgment made by the family and physician together: How much better is your child in school, how much worse are the movements, what is the best balance of improving school and tolerating worse movements? There is no single answer for every child.
Does it matter if these movements are tics or stereotypies? To some extent it does. Behavioral treatments may be more effective with stereotypies than with tics. If medication is considered, different medicines may be used for tics than for stereotypies.

Eric D. Ely, the school superintendent who on Nov. 14 was placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of a complaint of misconduct, resigned Friday afternoon, School Committee Chairwoman Patricia Woodruff said Saturday.
Teachers, administrators and the school board have been notified, and payments to Mr. Ely have stopped, Ms. Woodruff said.
On Nov. 20, during an executive session, the committee voted to appoint lawyer Edward Doocey of Quincy to investigate the misconduct allegation.
The investigation is complete, but Ms. Woodruff said she did not know if its findings could be made available to the public.
She said she wanted to talk to the district's lawyer to see how much information could be released.
In a text message Saturday, Mr. Ely said any response about his resignation would come from his lawyer, Mike Long.
Attempts to reach the lawyer were unsuccessful.
Mr. Ely said he plans on looking for a job where he can help kids, as he's tried to do for
the last 31 years.
He said he wished nothing but the best for Southbridge and appreciated the opportunity.
School Committee member Scott S. Lazo said, "The Eric Ely administration will go down as a failed administration. I saw it — I tried to expose it — people didn't want to listen to me. And in the end now they see it."
Mr. Ely was hired June 30, 2010, to replace the retired Dale M. Hanley, who served from 2005 to 2010.
Mr. Ely had resigned as superintendent of the Schenectady City School District in New York, a post he had held since 2006.
Mr. Ely had come under fire in Schenectady after the sentencing of former school department Facilities Manager Steven Raucci. Mr. Ely was accused of tipping off Mr. Raucci to a multi-county investigation against him. Mr. Raucci was convicted of placing bombs on homes and vehicles to intimidate the owners. According to published reports, some of his victims were school employees he had argued with about school issues.
The Southbridge committee at the time appeared unfazed by the situation in Schenectady, noting Mr. Ely had improved that district's graduation rates and put programs in place while working with a large minority population.
At the time, Mr. Lazo was the most laudatory, saying he was impressed with how Mr. Ely and his staff handled the shooting death of an 11-year-old student, not on school grounds. "In my time in government as a councilor and a School Committee member I have never seen an administrator deal with minorities the way this guy does," Mr. Lazo said at the meeting announcing Mr. Ely's hiring.
But things began to unravel as Southbridge prepared to open a new middle-high school on Torrey Road.
Before Mr. Ely's arrival, the school, which opened to students in September, was pitched as a Grades 6-12 facility that operated as two separate buildings with two principals under one roof.
However, in December 2011, Mr. Ely told the School Committee that the state would view the school as one building, and he asked the panel to endorse his proposal to create a single principal's position for the building.
The majority of the committee resisted, and tabled the matter.
On July 24, the School Committee, with two new members, voted, 4-3, to endorse Mr. Ely's plan to abolish middle and high school principals' jobs. A week later, Mr. Ely named district math director Tammy M. Perreault principal of the new middle-high school.
At the time of Ms. Perreault's appointment she held only a license to be a principal in Grades 5-8. Though she had qualifications to be a licensed principal for high school students, she hadn't submitted the paperwork until a week after the appointment. Mr. Lazo said the license issue with the first-year principal was the latest in a series of lies told by Mr. Ely, and on Aug. 14, Mr. Lazo sought to relieve Mr. Ely of his duties. His motion failed during the meeting, 4-3.
On Dec. 21, more than a month after Mr. Ely was placed on leave, Ms. Perreault was placed on paid administrative leave, where she remains. No reason was given for the action, which was made by then-acting superintendent Terry L. Wiggin, the district's director of finance and operations.
On Jan. 2, the district hired Basan "Buzz" Nembirkow, a retired Brockton superintendent, to serve six months as acting superintendent. He is being paid $500 per day.
Mr. Ely was making about $135,000, according to Mr. Lazo.

Here's the thing- let's say you've been doing a ton of pumping and get yourself into a place where you are making 3-4 oz an hour or something like that. Not a huge oversupply, right? Then you go back to work. And instead of nursing/pumping every 1-3 hours, you're routinely going 3 or more hours without removing milk. By the time you get to your pump, you're likely to be very uncomfortably full. And getting that full, that uncomfortable- that can lead to nasty things like engorgement, plugged ducts, mastitis... That's why moms are not encouraged to pump themselves into oversupply before a return to work, particularly if pumping opportunities at work are difficult to come by.
I would think that your supervisor would rather have you back in the office and taking more pump breaks than at home on FMLA trying to build a stash. I'd give her a call soon and discuss pumping options. No-one here wants you to have to compromise patient care, but we also don't want to see you needing to supplement with formula because your work doesn't accommodate normal human needs!

AUBURNDALE, Fla. – The GC club faced off against Ripon College Thursday, March 17, in day three action of their spring break road trip. Greenville, 0-6 in Florida, fell 13-2 and 7-3 in the double-header while looking for their first win of 2011.
Leading Greenville in the opening loss was senior center fielder David Massengill. Massengill went 1-3, with a run scored.
In the first game of the double-dip, Ripon never trailed, taking a 3-0 lead in the top of the first. The first run came on an RBI single, while the other two came via a triple by Ripon's Ryan Paul. The Red Hawks added one run apiece in the second and third inning, before exploding for seven runs in the fourth in which the first six batters reached base. RC would finish with three more runs and control the Panthers 13-2.
Michael Wittmer was saddled with the loss for the Panthers, pitching six innings and giving up five earned.
Ripon College's Jason Wierschke picked up the victory, allowing two runs on three hits in six innings of work.
Ripon completed the sweep with a 7-3 victory in game two, which saw the Red Hawks rally back from a 3-1 deficit. Though Greenville jumped out to an early 2-0 lead on a Kenny Trager sacfly that drove David Massengill home, and an error that scored Kyle Hobar, the Panthers would only add one more run (third inning) and struggle offensively for the rest of the game.
A huge effort in the mid-inning by Ripon put the game out of reach, scoring five runs on two hits in the fourth.
Red Hawk pitcher Tom Albrecht tossed five innings for the win, allowing two earned runs on five hits.
Greenville freshman Tyler Mitchell was charged with the loss, pitching 3.2 innings while allowing only three hits and two earned.
Greenville College Baseball will conclude their spring break 2011 campaign against St. Norbert on Friday. The double-header will take place in Leesburg, Fla. as the Panthers look to claim their first win of the road trip.

A graceful slipper-footed design enhanced with additional period details.

In Colonial America, prior to Paul Revere's famous midnight ride, colonists adopted many of the lifestyles of English citizens. One such behavior was afternoon tea. Of course, you couldn't be of a wealthy class and partake in tea without having the necessary serving implements – including a tea table.
Tea tables came into vogue in the early 1700s and were built in many designs such as tray-topped, round-topped and porringer-topped tables with either carved cabriole legs or turned cabriole legs. A tray-topped design with carved legs was by far the most high-end table one could possess.
After the tea party in Boston, the idea of afternoon tea all but disappeared in the American colonies, but the furniture design survives to this day.

ASUS GTX 580 Review
Introduced just two short weeks ago, the GTX 580 from NVIDIA gave us what we had been waiting for since November 2009 — a Fermi-based graphics solution that was not a cut-down version of the architecture. We finally got the fully functional version with its 512 CUDA cores instead of 480 or fewer with the lower class cards, the GTX 470 and 460. The performance delivered by the GTX 580 rivaled that of the HD 5970 2GB in some games and easily out performed the GTX 480 and the best single GPU card in the AMD product stack, the now year+ old HD 5870. This means that the green camp has a new performance leader with the GTX 580. It runs cooler, uses less power (for those who use that as a measure of a successful product), and just plain kicked ass when put to the test!
While I have looked at the reference version of the GTX 580, this one is from ASUS and comes to us equipped with a slightly higher clock speed on the core and the ability to tweak voltages using the ASUS Smart Doctor utility for added performance — something that was not available with the reference version. The claim from ASUS on the voltage tweaking ability is an improvement of "Up to 50%" by using this technology. Without the voltage tweak ability, the reference card delivered less than stunning overclocking increases based on a percentage basis. But after playing with the Smart Doctor software, the ability to increase the voltage brings on the pain without the fear of the hardware-based current monitoring kicking in to limit performance. So let's see just what ASUS gives us with its version of the GTX 580.
Closer Look:
The packaging of the ASUS GTX 580 has pretty much remained unchanged over the past year with the warrior on his stallion looking to take your gaming experience to another level. The packaging stands out on a shelf as it should with that kind of visual appeal. The green background lets you know this is an NVIDIA card in lieu of an orange or red background. The front of the package has a large Voltage Tweak medallion that touts the 50% faster performance logo. Underneath are the features of the NVIDIA GTX 580 that include 1536MB of GDDR5 memory, Full DirectX 11 support, CUDA and PhysX support, with the GTX 580 name underneath. The back side lists the features of this series. To the right is an image that illustrates the connectivity options with messages about DirectX 11 and the Voltage Tweak software to the left.
Opening up the packaging, you get the elegant-looking black cardboard shell that holds the GTX 580 and the accessory bundle for this card. The bundle is split between the thin box on top and the compartment to the right. The card is stored underneath, encased in a foam enclosure, keeping it safe in transit.
The accessory bundle that comes with the GTX 580 is slim by most accounts, but it comes with what you need to get it installed in your system. You get the driver and utility disk, a manual, dual 6-pin PCIe to a single 8-pin connection, and a single mini HDMI to HDMI adapter to round out the package. Like I said, slim, but containing what you absolutely need to get the job done.
We've seen the packaging and what is included with this card from ASUS, so let's delve a little deeper into the card.

DENVER An early look at voters' views of Tuesday's elections, according to preliminary exit poll data conducted in Colorado for The Associated Press:
COLORADO STATE OF MIND: More than half of Colorado voters say the economy is the most important issue facing the nation, more than the federal budget deficit, health care or foreign policy and about three-fourths think it's not in good shape.
About 4 in 10 think the U.S. economy is getting better. About half say George W. Bush is more to blame than President Barack Obama for current economic problems, while about 4 in 10 say Obama is more to blame.
GUN LAWS: Just months after the mass shooting at a movie theater in a Denver suburb, 6 in 10 voters say they see the state's gun control laws as about right. Roughly one-quarter call them too weak.
IMMIGRATION: Two-thirds of voters think illegal immigrants working in the U.S. should be offered a chance to apply for legal status, while a quarter think they should be deported.
OBAMACARE: More than half of voters think at least part of the nation's 2010 federal health care law should be repealed, while 4 in 10 think it should stay the same or be expanded.
The survey of Colorado voters was conducted for AP and the television networks by Edison Research. A total of 1,029 voters who voted early or absentee were interviewed by landline or cellular telephone from Oct. 29 through Nov. 4. Results for the full sample were subject to sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points; it is higher for subgroups.

Yeah, I know what you mean, Crunchyroll only gets anime like catgirls ... fighting hollows ... playing soccer ... harboring a crush on her female classmate ... and saving the world from climate apocalypse ... on a hyperpowered motorcycle ... while delivering mail in a shadowy fantasy landscape.
Its like all so similar.
All sarcasm aside, what evidence is there that Crunchy did not want Sengoku Basara 2? The more obvious explanation is that Funimation licensed it for streaming, and so far Funimation has not streamed any of their shows on Crunchyroll.
Most of ecchi, magical girls, slice of life and loli. How but something else.
Why i am i not on CR anymore?
I was waiting for a few more airing shows to start my trial, so I'll check this out and the rest and decide to go back to free viewing or not. To be honest though, there are plenty of shows I'd want to watch on the site without ads, but...
It's actually better than I thought, it has enough "lack" of ecchi to make it bearable, but the reason (title) for this anime is kinda stupid, aliens came because they wanted to play..........but anyway that Momiji girl or w/e might start some cool fights in the next episodes :P.
You've described most of the current broadcast lineup in Japan.
But when I look at the present simulcasts, I see Bleach, Giant Killing, Heroman, Naruto, Occult Academy, and Reborn.
That is 6 out of 13 (6.1 out of 13.1 if I include Tono to Issho)..
And in the catalog just to take one genre, there are 24 SF titles, the majority of which are mostly not ecchi, magical girls, slice of life and/or loli (some are, of course, because there's a market for that).
8 years as a premium member, but no more
Yes, that's my real age
It's a better anime then I thought it would be, a good plot and some cool characters
asobi can mean "sex".
After watching the second episode im kind of torn, the first one was actually pretty enjoyable, yet the second episode was not very impressive at all. all the buildup from the first one just kind of comes crashing down in the second one and it started going the usual ecchi route. I am willing to give it a few more episodes as a try though.
Great, more big breasted fanservice. Can we actually get a show with, I don't know, an actually good plot?

Valley Stream South High School opened its doors in 1955 and just shy of 60 years later, the boys' basketball team has won its first-ever Nassau County Class A championship. It was a longtime coming for the program, and after making the semifinals for the first time last season, a championship this year makes it all the more sweeter for the South community.
"I knew we'd have a good team," said High School District Athletic Director Scott Stueber. "There were a lot of good teams that got knocked out. You hope, you prepare, but I don't think you ever expect to get to this point."
From start to finish, South (18-3) had its best season in program history, on its way to a 66-56 victory against Hewlett in the county championship game last weekend. The Falcons had their toughest playoff test against the Bulldogs, but solid guard play and an inside post presence sealed the win in the fourth quarter.
"It's a great victory," said senior Dimitri Badette, who had 10 points in the win. "We're really happy. We deserved it."
The Falcons had comfortable victories earlier in the playoffs, including a 15-point win over Carey in the semifinals, but against Hewlett, South was down early and had to make a comeback. Badette said he and his teammates were able to win after being down due to their great team chemistry.
South's cheering section was loud and enthused all game and many people even stayed to watch from outside after the gymnasium at Adelphi University reached its maximum capacity of 1,800 people.
"I'm beyond excited," South Principal Maureen Henry said after the game. "I'm so proud. The boys and the coaches worked so hard to attain this. It's just unbelievably great history for South."
Henry said the halls of South were abuzz the week leading up to the game. Social studies teacher Pete Mastrota, who has worked at South for 12 years, said the game was all anyone would talk about during their free time.
"It's incredibly exciting," Mastrota said. "There's been a jolt of excitement in the air at South. You could feel it."

All eyes are on the Federal Reserve.
Gold's choppy overnight trade kept the metal above $1,380, and it rallied to $1,388 shortly after midnight. Traders will be tuning into Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's testimony in Congress on Wednesday morning for any clues about the bank's bond purchasing program.
Additionally, the Federal Open Market Committee Meeting minutes will be released in the afternoon, and traders again will be looking closely. The big question is when the Fed will stop or taper quantitative easing.
(Read More: Hilsenrath: Here's What Bernanke Will Say)
(Also: Don't Expect Bernanke to Talk Taper...Yet, Pro Says)
With Consumer Confidence at the highest levels in years, and the equity market continuing to rise, gold has taken a back seat as investors flock to more attractive investments. The metal was able to trade well off the lows it put in on Sunday night, but gold has been capped at $1,400. Only a close above $1,404 will be able to signal a potential bottom in this market.

Signs of Life :: Cities Eat Local
Cities Eat Local
Increasing numbers of U.S. cities are looking to lessen their climate impact by growing and eating local food.
The city of Berkeley, California, has approved a climate-action plan that sets a target for reducing citywide greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent by 2050 and includes measures to localize the food sector. The plan will fund new community gardens and park projects, develop a community orchard on vacant city land, and provide financial incentives to restaurants that sell local organic food.
Last year San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom convened a panel of experts to find ways to make food grown within 200 miles of city limits available to locals. On July 8, the mayor's office directed all city departments to identify unused city land that could hold community gardens, and required all farmers markets operating in the city to accept food stamps.
The city of Minneapolis recently passed a resolution that creates a local food task force and opens up city land to community gardens.

Fight in principal's office sends student to jail
19-year-old arrested in Flagler County
Fight in principal's office sends student to jail
19-year-old arrested in Flagler County
FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. —
A Flagler County high school student is accused of knocking down an assistant principal when she lunged over the principal while fighting with two other students at the school.
Victoria Dove, 19, was arrested at her Palm Coast home Tuesday morning. She was picked up on a warrant from January when sheriff's deputies said Dove and two other students met with the assistant principal for mediation at Flagler-Palm Coast High School and started fighting each other in the office.
Deputies said Dove lunged over the assistant principal to punch one of the other two in the face, knocking the assistant principal down.
Two of the three fighting students fell on the assistant principal. She was pushed a second time while trying to restore order.

About Emilia Azcarate
Emilia Azcárate is a painter who explores unconventional and ever-expanding ways of creating marks and forms on canvas. She has been known in the past to use smoke stains and cow droppings to create her compositions, while she has made more recent paintings by cutting forms out of a stretched canvas with a scalpel, allowing the cutaway pieces to hang off the work. The results could be considered both painting and sculptural relief. For other works she cuts open and reveals the interior of notebooks. In Azcárate's own words, "the stroke of the blade is as accurate as the brush, but the result is a loosening and transformation of the shape which ends with the birth of a sculpture."
Venezuelan, b. 1964

The July 11 release of "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" can't come soon enough. In the meantime, get your fill of ape-on-human warfare with "Firestorm," the official "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" prequel novel written by Mark Bomback, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver.
Hero Complex has an exclusive excerpt of the book's first chapter, in full below. "Firestorm," due out from Titan on May 27, promises to bridge the gap between the upcoming sequel and the 2011 hit film "Rise of the Planet of the Apes."
"Dawn of the Planet of the Apes," directed by Matt Reeves ("Cloverfield," "Let Me In"), is set 10 years after the earlier movie, a reboot of the sci-fi franchise inspired by Pierre Boulle's 1963 novel that brought in more than $480 million at the worldwide box office. The new film from Warner Bros. posits a world in which apes have developed their own community and human sightings are rare.
When a group of survivors — including Jason Clarke's Malcolm, a single father and former architect; Keri Russell's Ellie, a nurse; and Gary Oldman's Dreyfus, the leader of the human colony in the ruins of San Francisco — seeks to restore electrical power to San Francisco, it comes into conflict with the rapidly expanding troop of apes, led by Andy Serkis' Caesar. The orphaned offspring of a laboratory chimp has evolved into the leader of his own expanding tribe that includes wife Cornelia (Judy Greer), teenage son River (Nick Thurston) and a council of close friends.
Conflict between the survivors, however, seems likely to lead only to all-out war, with explosive imagery glimpsed in the latest trailer.
"Firestorm" promises to catch up fans on the background and context to the impending standoff. Reeves recently told Hero Complex that "Dawn" is an "ape-point-of-view movie." The ape perspective is even more fully indulged in "Firestorm." Read on….
FIRESTORM: Chapter 1
For some reason, the orangutans always heard the helicopters first, and from their disturbed calls Caesar knew that one or more of the flying machines must be approaching again. He quickly worked his way to the top of the canopy, followed by Rocket, a gray, almost hairless chimpanzee who was one of his seconds.
For a moment he could only stare, caught as always by the wonder and magnificence of the woods. The morning fog was all but gone, and the tops of the great trees bent under a gentle breeze. A blue-colored bird with a black crest was complaining noisily about his presence, and, above, a much larger bird drifting above on expansive wings. He remembered the first time Will had brought him here, how the forest seemed to shape itself around him, take him in, fill something inside of him he hadn't understood was empty.
He shook off the reverie and set himself to the task at hand—keeping his troop alive and safe.
Rocket spotted the helicopter first, and a moment's observation showed the machine coming straight for them.
Find this many, he signed to Rocket, holding up six fingers. Go, and be quick. Then he raced back down, leaping from tree to tree, toward the main body of his troop. Most were in the middle canopy, and he searched through them, making low calming noises, until he found one of the orangutans, Maurice. Maurice knew the hand language that Caesar had been taught.
Calm them, he told Maurice. Make them quiet, and lead them in that direction. He pointed off toward a thicker region of the woods, away from the approaching helicopter.
Then he moved further on down, to those who were too injured to climb or walk well. Most had been hurt in the fight at the bridge, some badly. Most of them did not know the hand signs, although a few of them were learning quickly.
As his feet came to ground, he saw a young female tending to an injured gorilla. She looked up and then bounded toward him. He recognized Cornelia—she wasn't wounded, but had taken it upon herself to care for those who were. She put her head down and held out her hand when she got near, but only just in time, as if she was reluctant to do it at all. She seemed agitated, but that often seemed the case with Cornelia.
Helicopter coming, he told her. That way. Stay with Maurice.
She raised her head, a little defiantly.
Moving hurts them more, she signed, gesturing at the injured. Need rest.
Caesar shook his head.
If rest, die, he told her. Go. I lead them away.
Need rest, Cornelia persisted.
Caesar pant-barked at her, a clear threat. Cornelia's eyes widened, but then she put her head down, backed away, and went to help the wounded to their feet.
Satisfied, Caesar took back to the trees. Moments later Rocket joined him with three orangutans and three other chimpanzees, one of whom was Koba.
Caesar had found Koba at the Gen Sys labs. The bonobo had been given Will's mist, as had the apes from the San Bruno refuge. He was smart, and he was tough, and thus far had proven very useful. But he was a little unpredictable.
Together, the eight of them rushed toward the upper canopy, straight toward the sound of the flying machine.
He had prepared them for this, just in case, and the seven who accompanied him knew what they would have to do. But the beating of the blades grew louder, and then the shadow fell against the uppermost boughs. Caesar was suddenly fearful that they were too late.
When he reached the top of the tree he saw his worries realized. The machine was already past their position, headed straight toward his troop.
He cast about desperately until his hand found a dead branch. He snapped it from the tree and hurled it with all of his might. He watched it turn, end-over-end, and hooted with triumph when it struck the rear rotors of the helicopter. He shook the treetop, screaming at the top of his lungs as Rocket and the others joined him and added to the din.
The helicopter banked and came back toward them.
Good, Caesar thought, in relief.
Dallas, a young chimp, screeched and braced to hurl himself at the helicopter.
"No!" Caesar shouted. Dallas hesitated, then aborted his leap.
Something hissed through the air and struck a branch.Caesar recognized it—one of the darts that made apes fall asleep. He flicked his gaze up and saw the shooter perched in the aircraft, taking aim again.
Follow, he commanded.
Dallas was so excited he almost disobeyed, but then he submitted, and they all went, launching themselves from tree to tree, dipping out of sight into the canopy but always reappearing, trying to keep the flying machine occupied and draw it away, always away from the troop, toward the high ground to the north.
The sun was on the horizon when Caesar called the seven of them down. Hoping they had drawn the hunters far enough, they settled beneath the protecting branches of the trees and the fog that had rolled in from the sea. They waited for the helicopter to leave.
But it didn't leave. It kept circling, and after a time, Caesar heard another join it. And another.
Sam, another chimp, began to whimper.
What? Rocket wanted to know. What to do?
Don't know, Caesar replied. Wait.
But he didn't like it. Soon it would be dark. Humans couldn't see any better than chimps. Everyone would be blind. Why were they still there? Could the machines see at night? He knew it wasn't impossible.
Caesar glanced over at Rocket, who rewarded him with a look of utter trust, and he felt his gut tighten. Because he knew something Rocket didn't.
Back in the "shelter" where he had been held prisoner, he had known what he wanted to do, and he had worked out how to do it, piece by piece. First he had figured out how to get out of the cages at night, then how to gain dominance over Rocket and the others, then how to escape the facility. He had gone to Will's house and found the mist that made apes smarter. One thing at a time, all put together beforehand.
He had had a plan.
Now he was just reacting. He hadn't expected them to follow him out here. This was where apes belonged— people belonged in the city. Things had been wrong before, but now they were as they should be. It seemed to him so obvious that he thought the people would understand, especially since he had been careful to hurt as few of them as possible. He didn't want humans as enemies. He didn't want them as anything.
He just wanted apes to be free.
In hindsight, he should have known better. But his plan had ended with them in the woods, safe, and free. He hadn't thought it through any further.
They were free, but they were far from safe. His only hope was to evade the humans long enough that they decided it wasn't worth the trouble.
His thoughts were interrupted when bullets began shredding the leaves above them. He knew from the sound these weren't the kind that knocked apes out—these guns sounded like the ones humans had used on the bridge. Loud. It was unexpected. Since the bridge, the humans had tried to capture them, but never to kill them.
Down, he commanded.
They scrambled to obey and, one by one, the eight apes dropped as quickly as they could without injuring themselves. By the time they reached the rich leaf mold of the forest floor, it was very nearly dark. The ground here was steep and somewhat rolling. Caesar motioned for them to follow, and they began moving away from the helicopters. He felt exposed and out of sorts. When it was dark, apes were supposed to be in a tree, as high as possible.
They moved through the fog. There was a moon, but very little of its light worked its way through the vast, leafy ceiling above.
He heard something and stopped, tapping Rocket on the shoulder. Rocket passed the order around by touching the rest.
Caesar heard the sound again—a thin, faint human voice, like he used to hear coming from the phone when Will was using it. He looked around frantically, trying to find the source.
"Up!" he whispered to the others.
As they started back to the trees, guns barked, this time the quieter hiss-pop of tranquilizer rifles. A dart thudded into the redwood inches from Caesar's face. He saw them now—men in black clothing, wearing some sort of masks.
I did exactly what they wanted me to do, he understood suddenly. Stupid.
They swarmed desperately up into the trees, darts hissing past them. He heard a human cry of fear and then an explosion of real gunfire. An ape screamed in pain, but Caesar's ears were ringing enough that he couldn't distinguish who it was. They were fleeing in absolute darkness now. He flung himself into space, reaching for the next limb, hoping it would be there.
It wasn't.
He fell with a yelp, arms flailing. He caught a branch, and it felt as if his arms were being pulled off, but he swung from it, again reaching into the night, trusting this place he loved, desperately hoping it would save him.
More guns chattered in the darkness. He went desperately higher, knowing the helicopters were still there, hearing the dread beating of the wind they made, but knowing he had to get away from the men with the guns.
They gathered together in the middle canopy in the shelter of a mass of twisted limbs.
Caesar tapped Keling, one of the orangutans. He couldn't see any better than Caesar, but orangs were better at finding their way through the branches, day or night. Keling understood, and allowed Caesar to climb on his back. The others followed his example, the chimps each climbing on to the orangs' backs, and soon they were creeping slowly from tree to tree. There were a few more pop-hisses of gunfire, but it seemed random.
The sound of the helicopters faded as they went, and Caesar reasoned that if the machines weren't following them, the humans probably weren't either. He signaled Keling to take him down. They couldn't stay in the area, not with these humans who could see at night, and although it went against his instincts, they could travel much faster on the ground and lead any humans who might track them even farther afield.
Caesar kept them going uphill until dawn, and then they collected together.
In the light he realized Dallas was missing. Everyone else was tired and sore, but otherwise unscathed.
Wearily, Caesar led them back into the trees, where they changed their direction, hoping to intercept the others from the troop. Hoping as well that the false path they had just made would keep the humans occupied for at least a day or so.
The next morning, after some decent coffee and a bagel, Talia rolled into work feeling pretty good, and reasonably hopeful. Mornings usually weren't too bad, especially in the middle of the week.
This morning, however, the waiting room was almost half full, and the triage nurses were getting a workout. Her first hit was a three-year-old boy whose index finger had been all but severed by having it inserted into the hinge side of a door somebody had slammed. The kid was fairly calm, all things considered, especially after they gave him something for the pain. But his parents were hysterical, especially when the boy was wheeled off to surgery.
When Talia picked up the paperwork for her next patient, she saw right away that he had flu-like symptoms, and was bleeding from the nose.
"Hold him in triage," she said. "I want to check something out."
Randal wasn't around, but she found the room assignment for his patients, and called that floor.
Ravenna was staring at her as she put down the phone. Talia heard someone sneeze in the waiting room, followed almost instantly by a loud expression of disgust.
"What is it?" Ravenna asked.
"There were two women in here last night," she said. "Both had a fever and some kind of sinus thing. One crumped last night, and the other is circling."
"What killed the one?"
"Multiple systems failure, it looks like," Talia replied. "But they haven't done a post mortem yet."
"What is it?"
"I don't know," she said. "But I have a feeling we're about to see a lot of it. How many have come through triage this morning with these symptoms?"
"So far I think we've had six," Ravenna said. "Not all of them are bleeding—some just have the fever."
"Okay," Talia said, letting out a deep sigh of resignation. "This is out of my league. Who is the health coordinator?"
Herrin, the health coordinator, had a voice so smooth it was almost oily, and an attitude that "patronizing" wasn't strong enough to describe.
"Dr. Kosar," he explained over the phone, "We haven't been notified by the CDC or the World Health Organization of an outbreak or even of the possibility of an outbreak."
"Of course not," Talia said. "Because it's happening here, in the ER, and not at their facilities."
"Nevertheless, eight cases isn't enough to declare an emergency," Herrin said.
"One of those eight is dead," she replied. "And the other probably will be before this call is over." She scanned the latest report from the front desk. "And actually, we're up to ten now. We don't know what this is, we don't know how contagious it is—"
"Dr. Kosar," Herrin said, cutting her off. "You're primarily a surgeon, aren't you?"
"I'm an ER doctor," she said, trying to keep the pretty swear words where they belonged, way down in her belly.
"But you mostly deal with and refer trauma, not infectious disease, is that correct?"
"Yes," she said. "That is correct. But I damn well know an infectious disease when I see one, and this one is nasty."
"Then we need someone whose specialty is infectious diseases," Herring said. "I'll look into it—when and if the situation demands it."
"There's a reporting process, right?" Talia persisted, feeling the discussion getting away from her. "Because the CDC can't declare on outbreak unless someone gets the data to them."
"There is indeed a reporting procedure," he assured her, "and it will be followed."
"Great," she said, knowing it was useless. "But we need to set up our isolation procedures now," she added. "While you look into it."
"I'll get back to you, doctor," Herrin said. She heard the line go dead.
"Oh, …—no he didn't!" she exploded.
"What?" Ravenna asked.
Talia looked at the phone and considered calling Herrin back just to swear at him. But she knew she wouldn't get him this time. His secretary wouldn't even put the call through.
"From this moment on," she told Ravenna, "Everyone in this ER is going to wear a face mask, do you understand? Patients included."
"Okay," Ravenna said. "I just hope we've got enough."
"If we don't, go 'borrow' some from upstairs," Talia told her.
Six hours later, the old lady was dead, and so was a young man who had come in that morning. She got a call from Herrin's office. The CDC and the WHO had both declared the outbreak of an unknown viral infection, and the hospital was prepared to implement isolation and quarantine procedures.
Hanging up the phone, Talia swore colorfully in both Czech and English for a few moments, before returning to work.

When The Paris Review appeared in 1953, its format was familiar to aficionados of literary periodicals: the first issue featured poems, short fiction and a pair of essays on trends in French and Italian literature. But there was one surprise: a thirteen-page Q&A with E.M. Forster, headed by an image of a manuscript page of thirty-three dense lines of spidery script, beginning with the words "Gentlemen. Gentlemen," culled from an unfinished novel. The interview itself, conducted in Forster's high-ceilinged rooms at King's College, Cambridge, was refreshingly blunt. "interviewers: [We] have also never felt comfortable about Leonard Bast's seduction of Helen in Howards End…it came off allegorically but not realistically. Forster: I think you may be right." Subsequent Q&As with Dorothy Parker, William Faulkner, James Thurber, Nelson Algren and Truman Capote helped to establish The Paris Review as a vibrant new literary periodical, and Ernest Hemingway remarked, "I have all the copies of The Paris Review and like the interviews very much. They will make a good book when collected."
The first collection of those interviews, titled Writers at Work, was published by Viking Press in 1958. A second volume, featuring Q&As with Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot and Mary McCarthy, appeared in 1963. More than a dozen other volumes would follow, and the editors eventually expanded the series to include discussions with playwrights, biographers, nonfiction luminaries, editors and the occasional literary critic; but novelists would always remain at the heart of the enterprise. Nearly all of the interviews were overseen by George Plimpton, who, until his death in 2003, edited the transcripts (and the published collections, most of which are now out of print) with devotion and dramatic flair.
In the decades that followed the journal's debut, perhaps only the Q&As in Playboy equaled its own in quality and reputation. But the two publications adhered to very different editorial practices and procedures. The Playboy interviews were often combative and controversial, and Playboy's editors were not generally inclined to defer to the needs and whims of the subject during the editing process. (Playboy, moreover, did not limit its Q&As to literary figures: the magazine published interviews, up to 25,000 words in length, with Malcolm X, Jimmy Hoffa, Bertrand Russell, Fidel Castro, Albert Speer and John Lennon.)
The Paris Review settled on a more conciliatory approach. As Philip Gourevitch explains in his introduction to a new edition of Paris Review interviews, a four-volume compilation of greatest hits, "A Paris Review interview is always a collaboration, not a confrontation…. The purpose is not to catch writers off guard, but to elicit from them the fullest possible reckoning of what interests them most." To guarantee that outcome, editors have always granted the subject final approval of the transcript. Gourevitch, a distinguished reporter who recently completed a five-year stint as PR's editor, admits that its protocols are "unapologetically at odds with journalistic practice."
The logistics of a PR interview varied widely. Herbert Gold mailed questions to Vladimir Nabokov at the Montreux-Palace Hotel in Switzerland. When Gold arrived at the hotel, he found an envelope waiting for him: "the questions had been shaken up and transformed into an interview." Saul Bellow polished the transcript in hamburger joints and on park benches near the University of Chicago. Don DeLillo answered questions at an Anselm Kiefer exhibition in Manhattan and in "a comically posh bar." Cynthia Ozick sat at her dining room table with a typewriter and spontaneously typed out answers to questions posed by an interviewer seated a few feet away. Jorge Luis Borges met PR in a "large, ornate, high-ceilinged chamber" at the National Library in Buenos Aires, surrounded by Piranesi's etchings. Pablo Neruda was interviewed on a stone bench facing the sea at his home in Isla Negra, Chile.

WeberDev.com has posted part 14 in their (never ending) "PHP 101" series today. This part talks about poll creation - display, voting, administration, and tracking.
Over the final two chapters of this tutorial, I'm going to guide you through the process of creating two real-world PHP applications. Not only will this introduce you to practical application development with PHP, but it will also give you an opportunity to try out all the theory you've imbibed over the past weeks.
The first application is fairly simple. It's a polling system for a web site, one which allows you to quickly measure what your visitors think about controversial issues.
They start with setting up the database to hold the votes - two simple tables, questions and answers. Then, it's on to the code - first displaying the form the users will vote with, then handling their response. Of course, what would a good application be without some kind of administrative utility to help manage and view the results - so they build one. It helps add/remove questions and check out the results of the polls.
