THREE-DAY ZOA CONV^TION CLOSES; FRISdH ELECTED J\IEW PRESIDENT; AUTONOMY URGED • NEW YORK, (JTA) — The three-day 52n<J annual convention of the Zionist Organization of America concluded here this weeii, i following the election of Daniel Frlsch as president and the adop¬ tion of a resolution insisting upon the administrative autonomy of the American Zionist movemeht in its relationship with the Jewish Agency executive. The 2,000 delegates at the parley also adopted a resolution referring to the Incoming administration for study of the Rlfkind report which recommends basic structural changes In the World Zionist Organization. The resolution on autonomy, which expressed approval of the resignations of Drs. Abba Hillel Silver and Emanuel Neumann from the Agency executive over the issue, stated "that it Is in the interest of the World Zionist Moyeinent and of Israel that the • Influence of the Zionist Organi¬ zation of America in all fund- raising activities and Institutions •in the United States .shall be pre¬ served and its representation on the governing bodies of Ameri¬ can Zionist funds shall be un¬ impaired." It also demanded "thai the administrative autono¬ my heretofore enjoyed by Ameri¬ can Zionist bodies within the frameworit of the World Zionist Movement and its constitutional provisions, shall be vigorously asserted and fully preserved and safeguarded in the future." In his speech of acceptance of the presidency of the organliia- tion, Mr. Frlsch placed special emphasis on the United Jewish Appeal, d^laring that "heroic, Willing self-sacrificing Yishuv" will not tje in a position to con¬ tinue Its open-door policy, "un¬ less we provide the means." The time has passed "when we could afford to Indulge in mere sym¬ pathetic lip service of contribu¬ tions to gene>al funds, however irjiportant. This, is the hour of deeds and more deeds, and we shall accomplish Ihpp . not in anonymity, but in our own name, ia tiie name of the Z.O.A., as well."

"Only with a strong Zionist movement, he continued, "can Israel expect to receive immigrants who -will continue the noble traditions of the Blluyim of Hedera, Dagania, Ein Harod and Ein Hashofet. and keep alive the pioneer spirit." The Ambassador pointed out that there is still a great ne¬ cessity for such pioneers to turn the deserts of the Negev into flourishing areas, to restore the fertility of Galilee, which sus¬ tained several million people in- the old days, and to make the best of Israel's opportunities on the seas and liv the'alr. "Israel is the only country in Asia with direct outlets to both the Atlantic and Indian Oceans," he said, ".Her place on the cross¬ roads of the world's communica¬ tions njakes her one of the most Important air traffic aenters. Here lies one of the, greatest tasks that anj) ZIortist organiza¬ tion and your distinguished or¬ ganization in particular Is called upon to perform: to assist Israel in realizing' these great oppor¬ tunities. Israel nee(,ls not only American money, American 'know-how,' but t(lso pioneers from this country, who should come to settle in Israel and join us in the building of our new State. Whye- the State of Israel will remain the resppnsibility of its citizet)s, and its citizens a- lone," he stressed, "Ule Zionist movement must continue to be the property of the Zionists everywhere." Dr. Silver, outlining the future function of the Z.OjV. in relation to the state of Israel, asserted that "it Is essential to sustain the long-range Interest of Ameri¬ can Jewry in the economic needs of Israel to Insure that in the coming years, when the Israeli honeymoon Is over, the needs of Israel will not be pushed aside." He added that "now is the time to rpake every Z.O.A member a shareholder, an Invejitor—large oj: small—in Israel."

The state of Israel is frantically throwing up housing, erecting medical facili¬ ties, training centers, hornes for the orphaned and aged." "We all know that the finan¬ cial burdens of the state are tre¬ mendous. We have to help now. Millions .upon mlUlons of dollars are neetled, because although the Slate Is established it cannot stand the tremendous financial burden indefinitely. It must build roads,, buy land, develop the resources so that the. refu¬ gees who still keep pouring in' fiom DP camps, from Eastern Kurope and Northern Africa can exist The flow of immigration cannot and must not be stopped. It ma.v well be If we don't give now." Upon the response of those u ho have yet to be .solicited wtll depend the success of this year's campaign, according to the Unit¬ ed Jewi.sh Fund drive chairman.

MOSCOW -- Russian warships are returning to the waters near Syria in a new demonstration of the Kremlin's interest in the outcome of the crisis there.
The Russian Defense Ministry told the RIA-Novosti news agency on Tuesday that four large landing vessels were on their way to the Mediterranean near Syria, three weeks after the Russian navy conducted its biggest maneuvers in the region since the breakup of the Soviet Union.
"Based on the results of the Navy exercises in the Black and Mediterranean seas from Jan. 19 through Jan. 29 ... the Ministry leadership has taken a decision to continue combat duty by Russian warships in the Mediterranean," the ministry said in its statement. "In the future the number of warships in the group and types of vessels acting in the said region will be defined in accordance with the given situation."
Russia has been a close ally of embattled Syrian President Bashar Assad and has strategic and economic interests in the country.

My cluster nodes' IPMI share their physical port with the primary NIC. Before using IPMI, I had to enable it in the BIOS and then assign it an IP address in the BIOS, too. I didn't think of using ipmitool. I wonder if I could do all that using ipmitool, without enabling IPMI in the BIOS first. Anyone know for sure? -- Prentice

Winemaking. It's all about balance, people
By Remy Charest | Published: February 19, 2010
Being in the midst of the Olympics, as the whole world is watching athletes striving to go faster, higher, stronger, it's good to remember that winemaking is not an athletic endeavour. It may be about better, but it's not about bigger and more. It's about balance. It's about working out a set of variables so that [...]

College Outdoors: Creating a Sense of Place
May 28, 2013
For more than 30 years, College Outdoors has introduced Lewis & Clark students to the spectacular natural environments of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. From temperate coastal rainforests to arid deserts, our region offers many diverse ecosystems to explore.
This spring, College Outdoors added a new dimension to its programming by embedding environmental education elements into its regular offerings. "We're shifting our entire approach," says Julia Huggins CAS '13, a student leader in College Outdoors who has spearheaded the effort with support from director Joe Yuska. "We want our trips to include interdisciplinary learning opportunities that emphasize geology, ecology, and pertinent social issues."
In the past, it was up to individual trip leaders to offer supplemental learning opportunities. Now there is an infrastructure and curriculum in place for the entire program. By training more trip leaders to teach, environmental education will become a standard part of the College Outdoors experience.
Huggins believes that as we learn more about our natural surroundings we find a "sense of place" as members of the Lewis & Clark and greater Pacific Northwest communities. Students can explore and enjoy the natural environment in a recreational sense while also gaining a deeper understanding of its complexities. "To fully appreciate and care about our home, our environment," says Huggins, "we have to understand it first."

Way Klingler Young Scholar Awards support promising young scholars in critical stages of their careers. The awards of up to $32,000 are intended to fund $2,000 in operating costs and to cover up to 50 percent of salary to afford the recipient a one-semester sabbatical.
Assistant professor of physical therapy
Nobody has ever conducted brain scans during locomotion of people with stroke, according to Dr. Sheila Schindler-Ivens, but that's what she's setting out do.
Schindler-Ivens, who studies the rehabilitation of stroke survivors and how the brain adapts to regain walking ability, is a recipient of a 2010 Way Klingler Young Scholar Award.
"We're trying to see if there's an actual remapping of the way the brain controls movement or if it's just the stronger leg taking over," she explained.
Her work is supported by a five-year, nearly $600,000 Career Development Award from the National Institutes of Health. The grant pairs Schindler-Ivens with mentors Dr. Kris Ropella, chair and professor of biomedical engineering, and Dr. Brian Schmit, associate professor of biomedical engineering, who will provide support as Schindler-Ivens expands her research using functional imaging techniques. Schindler-Ivens has already used functional MRI to examine brain activity while subjects pedaled on a bike.
"Now we're moving into people with stroke, which is much more challenging," said Schindler-Ivens, who will take a sabbatical this fall to focus on her research.
Assistant professor of psychology
Hoping to capitalize on the newly recognized burst of neural development around pre-adolescence, Dr. Amy Van Hecke is investigating whether social skills therapy in autistic children affects brain activity and heart rate.
Van Hecke will use a therapeutic approach, Program for the Enrichment and Education of Relational Skills, on children with autism 11-17 years old during her Way Klingler Young Scholar sabbatical in spring 2011.
The prevalence of autism has risen from 1 in 2,500 in the 1980s to 1 in 91 children today, and the average cost of life-span treatments for a person with autism is $3.2 million, according to Van Hecke.
"We are excited to ask the question, 'Does social connectivity affect neural connectivity?'" said Van Hecke. "We know quite a bit from animal studies about what social isolation does to the brain, which is nothing good, but we know very little about what social connectedness and having friends does to the brain. So, I'm examining potential change in the connectivity of different brain areas in children who respond well to the treatment."

Washington, DC- With Russian ratification of the Kyoto Protocol now likely, the development and deployment of technologies to reduce global emissions is more critical than ever. While technological change occurs naturally as companies compete in the marketplace, climate policies can spur additional or "induced" technological change (ITC). Induced Technological Change and Climate Policy, by Larry Goulder of Stanford University, explores the use of ITC in climate policy, using state-of-the-art economic modeling and analysis. Goulder finds that models that include ITC produce lower cost estimates for GHG reductions, and that costs are lowest when climate policies are announced in advance. Furthermore, he finds that to reduce greenhouse gas emissions most cost-effectively, both policies that boost technological innovation, such as R&D funding, and policies that limit emissions, such as a GHG cap-and-trade program, are required.
"This research shows us that the costs of meeting a long-term CO 2 emissions target using both R&D subsidies and a carbon tax (or cap-and-trade) is roughly 10 times less than with R&D subsidies alone," said Eileen Claussen, President of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change.
A crucial point is that although studies show different implications of ITC on the overall timing of climate policy, all find that some abatement must begin now in order to jumpstart the critical process of technological change. " Timing is crucial for dealing with this issue in a cost-effective manner; the longer we wait, the more expensive it will be," said the Pew Center's Claussen.
Pew is no longer active in this line of work, but for more information, visit the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions site.

I stepped into the darkened parlor, only a candle illuminated the room from the piano in the corner. A sound like a clock ticking trailed off in the distance. Each tic coincided with the beat of my heart. I moved deeper into the shadows trying to unfold the mystery that lingered, invisible in the air.
I touched the cool wood of the table and felt the soft velvet that covered the sofa. My senses were tingling with anticipation. I felt faint, almost out of breath, I felt as if I had been battered by the tenacious waves of the ocean. Something was coming over me.
I was met by a vision; something loomed heavy in the corner. I knew that there was a messenger here. He had come for me to impart his wisdom. "Show yourself!" I protested. But nothing came from the darkness.
Catching my breath, I sat on the sofa. I pulled the warm air into my lungs and let the scent of musk and roses fill me. There was something different here. Something I had never felt before. Or maybe I was never open to its mystery.
Suddenly it came to me. The figure appeared like a bead of light moving through a dark sky. It was the spirit of change. Some may call it death, others may call it life, but I simply call it change.
The figure held out its hand. I could only make out the slight structure… tall, thin, and able. I felt with every fiber of my being that it was time. Time to let go of the worn-out and the old. Time to move into the future, fearless and alive. I knew it wasn't the end, but actually the beginning.
Loud and clear I heard from within the body of light, "Dance! The secret of life is to dance!"… and then the light receded back into shadows like the dying embers of a fire. Darkness absorbed all traces of light until only I was left, with this vision and this message to carry on in my head.
I closed my eyes. Startled. Moved. Changed. I knew that everything would be okay.

text: I've got a pair of servers running in an ISPConfig3 master/slave configuration, with /var/www synchronised between the two using Unison (as per the tutorial). This all works fine. As an extra backup source I'm trying to use a NAS in my house to downlod /var/www via rsync. I have very little control over rsync at the NAS end as it's configured through a wizard. Having got it up and running the NAS connects, auths properly, and does an incremental backup of /var/www. The problem is that it recursively backs up as far as client level (/var/www/clients/client??/) but only backs up the symlink in that folder and not the 'web??' folders in there. I'm guessing this is a permissions issue. Rsyncd on the server is running with uid and gid 'root' and looking for the daemon using lsof shows it as root. Surely root should have all the necessary permissions to view these folders? I can certainly cd into them when logged in as root over SSH. Any ideas very much appreciated!

The Central College football team needed a do-over on the first 5 minutes of the 2011 season.
Spotting host Wis.-Oshkosh a pair of quick touchdowns, Central clawed its way back before dropping a 31-28 decision in the season opener. The Dutch nearly overcame a 17-point fourth-quarter deficit before faltering. Five turnovers were the difference, including a costly one on the opening kick. It's Central's first season-opening setback since 2004.
After recovering the fumbled kickoff return, Wis.-Oshkosh got a 29-yard touchdown run by Charlie Weissman on the next play. On the next Titans possession, quarterback Nate Wara launched an 84-yard touchdown strike to Caleb Voss and it was 14-0 Wis.-Oshkosh with just 4:57 elapsed.
"When you have games like this, you wish you could go play again tomorrow," coach Jeff McMartin said. "You learn a lot and see things you can do better and you wish you had a chance to correct them right away. But that's not the way football is. You've got to make the most of the opportunities you have."
Still, the Dutch did not depart Wisconsin quietly. A 22-yard Nate Snead pass to Jeremy Snead made it 14-7 before the Titans tacked on a 24- yard field goal. After a scoreless second quarter, Wis.-Oshkosh regained command on its first third-quarter possession with another big play a 51-yard Wara toss to Caleb Voss and it was 24-7.
Snead's 1-yard run completed a 16-play, 78-yard march to climb within 24-14 with 6:20 left in the third quarter. But Wis.-Oshkosh responded with a drive of its own, moving 65 yards in 12 plays as Wara threw a 15-yard TD pass and it was 31-14 entering the fourth quarter.
Snead's second scoring run, from 2 yards out, made it 31-21 with 10:15 remaining, and then he hit Jeremy Snead again on a 17-yard scoring toss to make it a three-point game at the 3:13 mark.
The Dutch defense rose up and forced a Wis.-Oshkosh punt, giving Central a final shot from its own 42-yard line with1:56 left. But Snead was intercepted at midfield, ending the threat.
"The kids never quit," McMartin said. "The whole game, their attitude was great. They refused to get down. I was very impressed with how they were as a team on the field and on the sidelines."
There were lapses in all phases of the game.
"It doesn't matter who you're playing, you can't turn the ball over and you can't allow big plays," McMartin said. "Give Wis.-Oshkosh credit, they played very well. But on defense, offense and in the kicking game, there were some really critical things we did that made it hard for us to win the football game."
The Dutch won most of the statistical battles. Central had 390 yards of total offense to 369 for Wis.-Oshkosh. Snead completed 23 of 40 passes for 291 yards and two TDs with three interceptions and was sacked twice. He was also Central's top rusher with 66 yards on 26 carries. Junior running back Ross Doehrmann was the only other Dutch ballcarrier, with 33 yards on 12 carries. Jeremy Snead had nine catches for 98 yards and two touchdowns, the second-highest reception total of his career. Ben Lechtenberg had a career-best six receptions for 99 yards.
Defensive back Ryan Schmidt had eight tackles, including 2.5 for loss, and recovered Wis.-Oshkosh's only fumble. Linebacker Keith Rush had seven stops, including 1.5 for loss, and linebacker Ryan Steinkamp had six tackles.
Central makes its season home debut next Saturday against perennial playoff contender Augustana (Ill.) in a 1 p.m. game at Ron and Joyce Schipper Stadium.

Motorola gets big points for giving the Maxx a back surface coated in Kevlar fiber similar to the previous generation of Droid handsets. The only physical buttons on the Maxx are located on the phone's right edge, a power key and a thin volume bar. Both are contoured and cross-hatched for easy manipulation by feel alone.
Above the screen is a 2-megapixel front camera and below it sit three capacitive buttons for basic Android control. Around back are the Droid Maxx's 10-megapixel main camera and LED flash. There is a big speaker here, too, which pumps out a huge amount of volume. Just as I found out on the Droid Ultra, this speaker serves up bigger audio than the HTC One and its hyped Boom Sound technology. At 5.4 inches tall by 2.8 inches wide, the Maxx is just as tall and as wide as the Ultra, but also a bit thicker.
The Droid Maxx boasts the same exact big, bright 5-inch HD OLED screen as the Droid Ultra. Its 720p resolution (1,280x720 pixels) doesn't pack the same pixel density as the HTC One (4.7-inch, 1080p LCD) or Samsung Galaxy S4 (5-inch, 1080p OLED), its primary competition. That said, the Maxx's high-contrast display has lusciously saturated colors and impressively dark black levels.
Detail in photos, Web sites, or documents with lots of text wasn't any less sharp to my eyes on the Maxx than the same content viewed on phones with full 1080pscreens. For instance, the Maxx's 720p display didn't negatively affect my serious mobile Netflix-streaming habit.
Hub of mechanism
For internal electronics, Motorola has made a very unconventional move with its 2013 smartphone lineup. Instead of engaging in the brutal processor arms race like practically every other handset maker, the company decided to sidestep the issue completely. All the new Droids, including the Droid Maxx, are powered by a proprietary processing solution Motorola calls the X8 Mobile Computing System.
You will find the same collection of cores and specialized processors in the new Motorola flagship, the Moto X. To be blunt, the X8 is a dual-core 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU and doesn't have the raw horsepower of true quad-core processors, which drive the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4 (Snapdragon 600).
Memory status
While talking about hardware is a healthy 2GB allotment of RAM. Also, unlike the Droid Ultra, which has only 16GB of internal memory, the Droid Maxx comes with 32GB to play with. That said, there's no SD card slot for increasing storage. You unlock the Maxx by sliding a padlock icon outside of a virtual ring on the phone's screen.
As an Android device, the Maxx comes preloaded with all the major Google apps and services. Of course you can delve into the vast Google Play online store for more to download. Unfortunately, because this is a Verizon-branded Droid device, the carrier couldn't resist filling the Max with un-removable bloat ware. Highlights include NFL Mobile, VZ Navigator, Verizon Mobile Security, and Verizon Tones, to list a few.
The Droid Maxx also makes use of the X8 computing platform, like the Droid Ultra and Moto X, to perform nifty voice control tricks. Motorola calls the capability Touch less Control, and as its name implies, speaking a magic phrase will cause the Maxx to drop what it is doing and await your vocal commands.
Motorola's X8 platform may not have the sheer horsepower to stand up to full-blown quad-core processors toe-to-toe. It does have plenty of oomph, though, and I observed that on the Droid Maxx firsthand. The phone was very responsive, opening applications without hesitation. Navigating through settings menus and home screen was also silky-smooth.
The first-rate
The Motorola Droid Maxx delivers astonishingly long battery life, a big, colorful screen, and a durable, attractive design. The phone performs inventive tricks such as responding to voice commands, giving screen-based notifications, and quick-launching the camera, which takes pleasing pictures.
The bad
The Motorola Droid Maxx is expensive.

Hmm, it was okay. The first half was pretty funny when Kirino's plan actually backfires and Manami plays along with it. And they're in the bedroom. How conveient; I think Kirino just helped her brother... And with Kirino in the doorway, watching them. I wonder if she played Yosuga no Sora.
The second half I really didn't care much for; it's like whoa where did this come from? It was a nice kind of resolution with some mutual acknowledgment but I've never seen a story where it resolves so well with so little revealed. So what's wrong with Kirino? What's wrong with Kyousuke; that was a pretty lame flashblack. I guess you really don't need a reason to help someone so close, but that was hardly satisfying given all the stuff we have to go through.
The main problem was the lack of development to this conclusion; after meandering around for so much, and then we kinda jump to this because oh no, it's almost over!
Anyhow, I give this episode a 6 + 1 bonus for a total of 7 because Kuroneko's outfit has a tail (omg cat) . Or she's actually Bernkastel. I don't care.

If we don't ever see a particular character or event in the anime (and that is also never referenced), then it doesn't apply to the anime's continuity, imo.
Also, dude, you rated it 10/10 yourself.

Great episode.
Just... great.
I need to find a gif of the receptionist. That was one of my favorite parts... Where he looks over, and she's looking down the hall at him.
I can only imagine what's going through her mind. You know it can't be anything clean.

Kuroneko is still the cutest by far though. Her handmade cat ears and tail were great, her troll manga was hilarious (I bet she doesn't suspect how spot-on it truly was), and finally, her imouto impersonation was godly and lethal. She totally stole the show once again.
I very much enjoyed seeing Kyousuke finally grow some balls and chew Kirino out as well. This should have happened episodes ago.

I still maintain that the third episode is the best in the series, but I did enjoy this a fair bit.
Like many others, I'd have liked to have seen a bit more clarity in the transition between the first part and second part, but I can also see the logic there. I think Manami being able to decisively shut down her attitude was a crucial step. Sure, she just ended up going the trap route, but the point is that she was made to take a step back from directly bullying, which would give her a space to evaluate her actions.
Again, as always, I am sorely disappointed by the way people are letting moral assessments of characters influence their appreciation of storytelling. Sure, this episode was a little disjointed, but while that is a valid complaint, "Kirino is a bitch, this sucks" is not. The point of the story is that Kirino and Kyousuke have a difficult relationship and there's a lot of distance and pent-up feelings to resolve. If she weren't angry/resentful towards him, we wouldn't have an actual story and this would just be another run-of-the-mill rom-com.
But then, given that the bulk (not all, but the bulk) of the comments that critique the series as a whole because they personally dislike Kirino (and I'm not saying she's not volatile/harsh) usually turn around to talk about how moe/cute they think such and such a character is, I suppose that may be what everyone's wanting.

Fantastic episode, loved it. I more or less echo what Ricky said, but I'll add a bit because I'm just that pretentious.
I think people have become far too accustomed to teenaged or even pre-teen characters in anime acting like mature adults. This series has honestly been refreshing insofar as we have characters of that age range acting, for the most part, like how kids their age actually act: petty, spoiled, flawed logic and reasoning and so on. While there certainly do exist exceptions to the norm of how kids in that age range act and carry themselves they are still, at best, just that: Exceptions. They are not the standard.
And hell, by the end of this episode Kirino shows that she's at least begun to get it. She knows she went way out of line with her treatment of Kyousuke and Manami, hence the party and everything. Does it sweep everything that happened before under the rug? No, it happened and it can't be taken back. But it does go to show that in spite of her outward attitude she genuinely appreciates everything Kyousuke has done and endured for the sake of her and her sanity vis a vis her hobby's less-than-acceptable status.
As for Kyousuke, this episode also shows his inner feelings about all that's happened and it really resonated with me. He did everything so far for her sake out of a sense of obligation to family, and when you get down to it there are far worse reasons to do something than because it'd make your sister/brother/mother/father smile or that it'd help them out. If you can't get that, if you can't understand that family is more important than anything, I suggest you re-examine yourself and your priorities because nothing trumps family. Ever.
And finally, Kyousuke did it all without expecting anything in return, even something as simple as a, "Thanks." To actually get as much from Kirino, in such an honest and genuine fashion? I think it'd bring anyone to tears.
Again, great ep if not as mind-blowing as some earlier eps were in terms of their content and execution. Still a 9/10 for me, and just when I was considering dropping this series from my personal contention for Best of 2010 it jumps right back into the ring.

Why would anybody watch a show if the entire main cast is lacking a redeeming and humanizing character? How can you, as the viewer, sympathize with a character that is totally lacking in any redeeming or humanizing traits? Why should we care about a character like that?
Even somebody like Light Yagami has redeeming and humanizing qualities. His goals are understandable, even if his methods aren't admirable ones.
Most teenage kids do not act as bad as Kirino as acted through out most of this anime. In fact, I didn't know a signal person in my high school (when I attended it back in the 90s) that was anywhere near as bad as what Kirino has been through out most of this anime.
In fact, it could easily be argued that Kirino's level of mistreatment towards Kyousuke is unrealistic.

Again, I am not agreeing with or condoning her actions, but that's not a prerequisite of sympathy. It's enough to be able to parse it out in your head, and I feel like people are showing a very superficial awareness by holding on to Kirino's every harsh action and saying "It's about time she apologized!" and that it "Wasn't enough" when they're perfectly willing to cheer Kyousuke on without any reference to the fact that he ignored his little sister for most of their lives. If you're going to question Kirino's development and persona, question Kyousuke's. If you're going to laud Kyousuke's victories, laud Kirino's, because a real understanding of the story puts them both in the "you made a mess, let's start cleaning it up" bin.

enjoyable episode, too bad it suffered from the lack of time. Would have prefered it if they had put the party + ending of volume4 to the next episode and had spend more time displaying Kyousukes behaviour and some left out scenes in this one.
The episode was nearly too good in giving every Character something to do, felt like a last episode. I even had a flashback when Saori and Kureneko started to clap, hearing faint Omedeto-voices from NGE..
The mother was entertaining, with a bit more time at hand I would like to see more of her to show some similarities between her and the son. Manami was okay, it is a tough job after all to impress the family of your loved one. Didn't liked her action inside Kyousuke's room, but that is typical anime behaviour, so cannot really blame her for that.
Kureneko's manga presentation was well done, another reason to curse the lack of time, would have been worth to extend that one. Saori came a bit short, but in which episode it wasn't like that?^^;
Glad to see they managed to get Kirino's behaviour more on the realistic side again, especially in the first half. Too bad the process of her realizing that she went overboard wasn't shown, but packed episode again.
Kyousuke annoyed me today in the first half though. His social ability disappeared for no reason. Normally he would have grasped the situation and act in a de-escalationally way, but today he set up his 'disgusted face' from the beginning and provoked and teased Kirino. While his actions and reactions were understandable and expected from most persons they did not fit his usual behaviour.
In the second half it is a different story. His social ability returned miraculously, which was irritating after being left out before, with the difference that he would have had now a reason to act as strange as he did in the first half. But being back to his normal self the annoyment towards him vanished at that point (irritation grew with it though).
All in all, good that the show recovered from the episode 8 finally, the pacing is as weird as in the first episodes and characters feel more lively again. leaves hope for a good final episode and a nice online arc.

This episode likely gives me enough of that for me to sympathize with Kirino the rest of the way. Before this episode, though, I honestly found it very hard to sympathize with her.
Now with this episode, there finally has been a significant degree of such moments.

Home of Silent Prayer
At that point, her family knows and basically accepts her hobby, her best friend, while not completely accepting, at least knows about it and still remain her friends, and she even got new friends with the same interest in Kuroneko and Saori. And I don't expect her to suddenly turn into a Manami, no. But like Triple_R said, there isn't any significant difference in how she's treating him before and after to show her gratitude and appreciation to his brother for what he did (which is why the sudden change in this ep feels jarring).
What's more, about the reason that Kyousuke ignores her for her childhood. Sure, that's what we got from her, but from Kyousuke he feels that it's Kirino who has been ignoring her so far, which is why he's determined to be a good big brother now. There's no proof that Kirino can't be wrong or misunderstanding something. Not unless we see what really happen by a flashback, or at least from an account from an unrelated yet close third party (like their parents). But no, even after ELEVEN episodes, we still don't have that yet. And as such, at least until I see that, I find it hard to completely sympathize with her. That being said, this ep does greatly improves my sympathy to her, so let's hope they'll continue from there (although just one last ep makes it doubtful that it's enough time to show and properly resolve what happened, I feel we may need to wait until the 4 net episodes for that).

Great episode
Mom almost catches Kyousuke playing eroge. From his hushed behaviour, she assumes he's watching porn on his sister's laptop again (well, she's not too far off there ).
In the OP, we have interesting stats for everyone:
When Manami comes over, she's very fexible and skillfully works around any of Kirino's attempts. As a reward, she can can an eyeful of his doujinshi and eroge
Spoiler for perhaps a little nsfw:
She's not fazed by that either and happily notices that he's got a glasses fetish.
btw, is it just me, or does that eroge girl looks like Haruhi with glasses?
Second half, we have the girls in meido outfits, but Kyousuke doesn't seem to really appreciate what Kirino has prepared there:
Kirino is intrigued by Kuroneko's tail and ears:
Kuroneko shows her new manga, which has Kirino sniffing at Kyousuke's shorts. Kirino is not amused by this
Finally, at the "main event", Kirino thanks Kyousuke for all he's done for her and shows her deredere side. She presents him with the eroge which she had so much fun with before
Last, we get a happy group shot of the girls together:

I guess Manami doesn't know if she should be happy or angry that Kyousuke's got a glasses fetish XD (she should be happy).
Manami (reading the Nico Douga style messages): Onii-chan is a pervert who only loves little sisters...
Kyousuke: Urghh...
We don't have to wait for a second season (the ban hurts, but I can't put it here).
Wha-? Saori's as heavy as a guy... yet a supermodel... hmm.....

Ten-year-old Christian Bottger loves being in the spotlight.
Ten-year-old Christian Bottger loves being in the spotlight.
It's a good thing, too, because videos of him dancing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers cheerleaders at Sunday's game have made him an Internet sensation.
"He's in awe," said Christian's dad, Ed Bottger, the video production manager for the team.
Videos of Christian's Gangnam Style routine, which he performed alongside the team's mascot, Capt. Fear, have been featured on popular sports blogs such as the Big Lead and have attracted attention from TV shows such as Ellen and Good Morning America.
Christian, dubbed "Little Fear" by the team, is set to appear on the Today show around 8 a.m. today, his dad said. Christian took his first-ever plane ride with his parents Monday night to New York and hopes to meet Bruno Mars — his favorite singer and a fellow guest — after the show.
"He likes the attention, and he just loves performing," Bottger said. "He likes being out in front of everybody."
Christian, who has two older sisters, lives with his family in Largo.
Bottger said he — and some other impressed fans at the game — posted videos of Christian's performance on the Web.
"I'm shocked. I really am," Bottger said about the sensation the videos created. "But I knew it was popular in the stadium. You could hear the roar of the crowd."
Bottger said Christian, who is a fifth-grade student at Fuguitt Elementary School in Largo, has been dancing competitively for five years. He has participated in the Bucs' Junior Cheerleader program for the past three years.
During Christian's first year in the program, he was the only boy who danced to a Michael Jackson medley with about 300 girls, his dad said.
The instructor was so impressed with him, she invited Christian to do a routine with the cheerleaders, Bottger said.
Christian has performed at three games so far and will perform at least at one more, Bottger said.
Christian's dance teacher at StarStruck Dance Studio in Largo, Stefanie Valentine, said she isn't surprised by how popular Christian has become. She said he is never nervous about performing and practices his dancing about six days a week.
"He was born for this," Valentine said. "He's such a star, and he's so special. If you have met him, you don't forget him. I knew this was going to happen. I'm so happy and so proud."

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), English Indian People's Party, pro-Hindu political party of postindependence India. The party has enjoyed broad support among members of the higher castes and in northern India. It has attempted to attract support from lower castes, particularly through the appointment of several lower-caste members to prominent party positions.
Despite a booming national economy, the Congress Party—the "(I)" was by then dropped—polled poorly in the 1996 general election, falling from 260 seats in the Lok Sabha to only 140 (at that point an all-time low). In part, the drop in Congress support…
The BJP traces its roots to the Bharatiya Jana Sangh (BJS; Indian People's Association), which was established in 1951 as the political wing of the pro-Hindu group Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS; "National Volunteers Corps") by Shyama Prasad Mukherjee. The BJS advocated the rebuilding of India in accordance with Hindu culture and called for the formation of a strong unified state.
In 1967 the BJS gained a substantial foothold in the Hindi-speaking regions of northern India. Ten years later the party, led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee, joined three other political parties to form the Janata Party and took over the reins of government. Plagued by factionalism and internal disputes, however, the government collapsed in July 1979. The BJP was formally established in 1980, following a split by dissidents within the Janata coalition, whose leaders wanted to prohibit elected BJS officials from participating in the RSS. (Critics of the RSS have consistently accused it of political and religious extremism, particularly because it was one of its members who assassinated Mohandas Gandhi.) The BJS subsequently reorganized itself as the BJP under the leadership of Vajpayee, Lal Krishan Advani, and Murali Manohar Joshi.
The BJP advocated hindutva ("Hindu-ness"), an ideology that sought to define Indian culture in terms of Hindu values, and it was highly critical of the secular policies and practices of the Indian National Congress (Congress Party). The BJP began to have electoral success in 1989, when it capitalized on anti-Muslim feeling by calling for the erection of a Hindu temple in an area in Ayodhya considered sacred by Hindus but at that time occupied by the Babri Masjid (Mosque of Bābur). By 1991 the BJP had considerably increased its political appeal, capturing 117 seats in the Lok Sabha (lower chamber of the Indian parliament) and taking power in four states.
The demolition of the Babri Masjid in December 1992 by organizations seen to be associated with the BJP caused a major backlash against the party. The mosque's destruction also led to violence throughout the country that left more than 1,000 dead. The party was regarded with skepticism and suspicion by many committed to secularism in contemporary India. To alleviate fear among the public, restore confidence in the party, and expand its base, the BJP's leaders undertook a series of rath yatras ("journeys on the carriage"), or political marches, in which the Hindu god Rama was symbolically invoked as the symbol of cultural renaissance.
In elections in 1996 the BJP emerged as the largest single party in the Lok Sabha and was invited by India's president to form a government. However, its tenure in office was short-lived, as it could not muster the majority required to rule in the 545-member lower house. In 1998 the BJP and its allies were able to form a majority government with Vajpayee as prime minister. In May of that year, nuclear weapons tests ordered by Vajpayee drew widespread international condemnation. After 13 months in office, coalition partner All India Dravidian Progressive Federation (All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazagham) withdrew its support, and Vajpayee was prompted to seek a vote of confidence in the Lok Sabha, which he lost by the margin of a single vote.
The BJP contested the 1999 parliamentary elections as the organizer of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), a coalition of more than 20 national and regional parties. The alliance secured a governing majority, with the BJP winning 182 of the coalition's 294 seats. Vajpayee, as leader of the largest party in the alliance, was again elected prime minister. Although Vajpayee sought to resolve the country's long-standing conflict with Pakistan over the Kashmir region and made India a world leader in information technology, the coalition lost its majority in the 2004 parliamentary elections to the Congress Party's United Progressive Alliance (UPA) coalition, and Vajpayee resigned from office. The party's share of seats in the Lok Sabha was reduced from 137 to 116 in the 2009 parliamentary elections, as the UPA coalition again prevailed.
As the 2014 Lok Sabha elections grew near, however, the BJP's fortunes began to rise, largely because of growing discontent with Congress Party rule. Narendra Modi, the longtime chief minister (head of government) of Gujarat state, was chosen to lead the BJP electoral campaign, thus making him the party's candidate for prime minister. The polling—held in several stages in April and May—produced an overwhelming victory for the BJP. The party won 282 seats outright, a clear majority in the chamber, and its NDA partners added 54 more. Shortly after election results were announced, Modi was named head of the party members in parliament, and he began forming a government that included not only senior BJP officials but also several leaders from parties allied with the coalition. Modi was sworn in as prime minister on May 26.

Macaque, Indonesia (USNM 123144)
Old World monkeys are primates and are more closely related to humans and apes than any other living nonhuman primate group. The Smithsonian Institution's Division of Mammals (http://vertebrates.si.edu/mammals/) houses many Old World monkeys in its scientific collections.
This specimen, USNM 123144 (http://collections.mnh.si.edu/search/mammals/?irn=7246080), is a male southern pig-tailed macaque (Macaca nemestrina) from Indonesia. This individual was collected in 1903 by William Abbott near Kateman River on the island of Sumatra. This specimen weighed 19 lbs and measured 720 mm in total length. The tail measured 190 mm long with a head to body length of 530 mm.
This is a CT scan of the mandible of USNM 123144. These three-dimensional scans are made publicly available through the generous support of the Smithsonian 2.0 Fund, provided from the annual gifts of the Smithsonian National Board to the Secretary to use at his discretion (http://smithsonian20.si.edu/fund.html), and the Smithsonian Collections Care and Preservation Fund.
The main goal of this joint initiative between the Human Origins Program and the Division of Mammals is to make the NMNH's scientific collections of our closest living nonhuman primate relatives available in 3D for education and research.

The pace of foreclosure activity continued to decline at the end of 2012, pushing the nation's foreclosure inventory down 19.5% from a year earlier, according to a new report from CoreLogic.
In December, 1.2 million homes landed in the national foreclosure inventory, down from 1.5 million homes a year earlier, CoreLogic said.
Just from November, the nation's foreclosure inventory slipped 4.2%.
Foreclosure inventory, as measured by CoreLogic, is the share of all mortgaged homes in any stage of the foreclosure process.
The pace of foreclosures also slowed year-over-year, dropping 21% to 56,000 completed foreclosures in December, compared to 71,000 a year earlier and down 3% from 58,000 in November. Overall, the nation recorded 767,000 completed foreclosures in 2012.
Before the housing crisis, a healthy real estate economy averaged 21,000 foreclosures per month, which is still substantially lower than the most recent December figures. But CoreLogic found a silver lining in the numbers.
"The most encouraging foreclosure trend reported here is that the inventory of foreclosed properties is almost 20% smaller than a year ago," said Mark Fleming, chief economist for CoreLogic. "This big improvement indicates we are working toward resolving the backlog of the most distressed assets in the shadow inventory."
"The rate of foreclosures continues to trend down, albeit at a slower rate as we exit 2012," said Anand Nallathambi, president and CEO of CoreLogic.

Air Quality Monitoring & Access to Data
The National Park Service Air Resources Division administers an extensive Air Monitoring Program that measures air pollution levels in national parks. The purpose of the Program is to establish current air quality conditions and to assess long-term trends of air pollutants that affect park resources. The data are also used to determine compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards and to assess national and regional air pollution control policies. Measuring air pollution levels in parks is an essential part of the NPS air resource management program and provides vital information to Congress, air pollution control agencies, academia, and the public.
The NPS Air Monitoring Program consists of a network of air monitoring stations in almost 70 national parks across the country. Several of these sites have been in operation for over 25 years. The Program has three primary components: visibility, gaseous pollutants (mainly ozone), and atmospheric deposition (wet and dry). Meteorological monitoring is also conducted at many locations to aid in the interpretation of measured air pollution levels. For more information, please see the table below.
|Air Monitoring Programs
|Ozone & Meteorology
|Wet & Dry Deposition
|Network Names
|IMPROVE (Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments)
|GPMN (Gaseous Pollutant Monitoring Network)
CASTNET (Clean Air Status and Trends Network)
|NADP (National Atmospheric Deposition Program)
CASTNet (Clean Air Status and Trends Network)
|Parameters Measured
|fine and coarse particle (PM2.5 & PM10) mass, elements, sulfate, nitrate, organic and elemental carbon
scenic views, scattering, and absorption
|ozone, wind speed, wind direction, ambient temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, wetness
|Wet: sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, cations, and mercury in precipitation
Dry: sulfur dioxide, sulfate, nitric acid, nitrate, and ammonium;
wind speed, wind direction, ambient temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, wetness
|Frequency of Measurements
|24-hrs every 3 days
|continuous, hourly averages
|Access to Data
|Visibility Data
|Ozone & Met Data
|Wet Deposition Data
Dry Deposition Data
In addition to long-term monitoring, the NPS is involved in many special studies that tend to be short-term and more intensive in nature. These studies are often initiated to answer specific local and regional research questions, such as identifying sources of air pollution or assessing the potential risk of natural resources in parks.
The Air Resources Division monitors air quality in cooperation with several national networks. This monitoring complements the efforts of other federal, state, and local agencies. The following map shows where different monitors are located within the national park system.

Chris Lau '12 wins a year of work, study in Germany
Award includes classes in a German university, six-month internship
Christopher Lau '12 has been accepted into the 2012-2013 Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange for Young Professionals, one of 75 U.S. students chosen from an applicant pool of over 500 for the study-and-work-abroad fellowship.
The year-long program provides orientation seminars in Washington and Frankfurt, two months of intensive language study, four months of classes at a German university and six months of work or internship in Germany.
"I've always been interested in Germany and decided to take German my senior year," Lau says. "I wanted to get myself to Germany after graduation, looked around online, found this opportunity and miraculously I got in." He plans on going to law school in the future and hopes to secure an internship in Germany related to immigration or LGBT law.
Lau says he received help with the application process from Michelle Duncan, a lecturer in German, and Associate Professor Sabine von Mering, director of the Center for German and European Studies. He says he had a general interest in immigration because his parents immigrated to this country from southeast Asia, and that his interest in immigrants in Europe was sparked by a class with Professor of Politics Jytte Klausen, a specialist in European integration.
Now entering its 29th year, the Congress-Bundestag program is made possible through the support of the United States Congress and the German Bundestag. Participants are between the ages of 18 and 24 at the start of the program, and must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Previous knowledge of German is not required but is strongly recommended. The program is open to candidates in all fields.
As this is a reciprocal exchange, 75 Germans will be living throughout the United States.
The deadline to apply for the 2013-2014 program is in December 2012. Interested students may contact Professor von Mering.
Professor von Mering said the deadline for students to apply for the 2013-14 program is December 2012, and that interested students may contact her for more information.
"Chris' example shows that you don't need to be fluent in German to be a successful applicant," she said. "I hope his success will inspire many more Brandeis students to apply. It's a wonderful opportunity."
