|Naruto Episode #219

|Voice Actors
Seimei (セイメイ, Seimei) was the founder of Takumi Village, known for creating weapons for other shinobi villages.
During his short appearance, Seimei acted calm, cold and aloof, believing his opponents efforts to be in vain against his power, openly laughing at them, showing his arrogance and pride. It was only when his opponents managed to successfully strike back or elude his attacks that Seimei lost his cool. Seimei was also credited by Gaara as believing ninja to be nothing but weapons. As the founder of Takumi Village, he was also extremely loyal to it. He also seemed to be of a cruel and selfish nature as when Gaara was in extreme pain he only cared about his revival and infinite chakra supply.
Seimi was a fair-skinned man with long, spiky silver hair, held down by a gold circlet. He had grey eyes with a red lining underneath them. His attire consisted of an oversized beige kimono with red stripes along the cuffs, with the Takumi Village crest embroidered on the front, and white jika-tabi for footwear.
Seimei was considered a great and powerful shinobi to the point that the villagers of Takumi considered him to be the ultimate weapon. His mastery of weapons, along with the ability to skilfully utilise both Fire Release and Wind Release nature transformations, certainly testified to his power. Seimei also showed quick analytical and deduction skills when he merely glanced at the cage imprisoning Gaara to understand what had transpired before his resurrection.
Seimei has shown being capable of combining the Infinite Armour, Weaknessless Soaring Shortswords, Garian Sword, and Hōki's Fire Sword, to truly become the "Ultimate Weapon". His mastery over the weaponry and armour of the Four Celestial Symbols Men was great enough for him to be able to use their abilities telekinetically and without any necessary movement. In addition to combining the weapons, Seimei was also given the ability to float on a globe of chakra. The globes seem to be the green orbs in the three swords as they disappeared after the orbs appeared.
Part I
Sunagakure Support Mission
Hōki, Kujaku, Ryūgan, and Suiko removed his body from his crypt with the power of the Shukaku. Hōki then sacrificed his body to revive Seimei. Once the preparations were complete, Seimei used the weapons from his dead comrades to create the "ultimate body". He was later killed by Gaara. Though Seimei was difficult to kill, the fight was essentially over when he was hit by the Ultimately Hard Absolute Attack: Spear of Shukaku in his chest, demolishing the so-called "indestructible" armour. Gaara wasn't taking any chances, and followed up with a Sand Waterfall Imperial Funeral in the pit of sand he had created using minerals from bedrock, killing both Hōki and Seimei.
- Seimei's name is likely taken from the legendary onmyoji Abe no Seimei. Strangely, the Seimei of legend was supposedly born from Kuzunoha, a kitsune, while in the Naruto universe, Seimei was revived through the chakra of Shukaku, a giant tanuki (a species known for its rivalry against the kitsune in folklore).
- (To Gaara) "Pathetic, shinobi have no need for emotions, those that kill their emotions become more powerful, and that power is the only justice. You're already finished."

Many of us are realizing that our education system is not preparing us or our kids to adapt to new realities, like a shrinking economy or climate change. This issue of YES! brings you an education in the things we need to create successful adults and kids: How do we learn to improve our communities, think critically, develop trusting relationships, and use our gifts to make societal contributions? No matter where you are in life, it's never too late to learn.
This discussion guide will focus on the following articles:
- John Taylor Gatto, "Take Back Your Education"
- Julia Putnam, "A Lifelong Search for Real Education"
- Daniel Fireside, "Life's Best Lessons are Outside the Classroom"
- Ron Miller, "Grounded Learning"
- Parker J. Palmer, "Know Yourself, Change Your World"
Take Back Your Education
Author John Taylor Gatto, a former New York State Teacher of the Year, invites you to reject schooling and reclaim education. Instead of salvaging a public school system that prioritizes obedience and "dumbed-down" curricula over a student's self-discovery and personal strengths, Gatto says we need to return to a classical education in which independent thought trumps achievement tests. Today's education objectives are failing our students, says Gatto, but we have the power to change the system.
- Compare your education with the education you see students getting today. How has the education system changed? What do you think is missing from today's education system?
- Gatto says, "Nobody gives you an education. If you want one, you have to take it." What have you done to claim your own path in education, either inside or outside of formal schooling? Have you had mentors who have influenced your life choices? Were you encouraged or discouraged from discovering your personal strengths and abilities in school?
- How can we increase opportunities for self-discovery and mentorship in our schools?
- What's the appropriate role of testing in schools? Are grades a relevant way to measure student success? How might we evaluate kids on their creativity, critical thinking, and contributions to community, rather than just their test-taking skills? Should we separate grades and degrees from personal worth?
A Lifelong Search for Real Education
Julia Putnam describes how meeting education reformists Grace Lee and Jimmy Boggs turned her life around and signaled the start of her "real" education. Putnam became one of the first participants in the Boggs' Detroit Summer program, a project to revitalize one of America's most neglected communities. She realized that helping rebuild her city gave her life more direction than getting good grades—and trusting teens with hard work and tough challenges helps them learn the confidence and self-reliance to claim the lives they deserve.
- When did your real education begin? Who shaped it? What did you learn?
- Putnam writes that there are as many paths to success as there are children in a room. What was your unique path to success? What kinds of self-discoveries guided your personal journey?
- Putnam says kids long to hear supportive messages: "Since we are all counting on you for our very existence, we need you to be your best self—to be healthy and kind and committed." Think about the young people you know. How might you or your community build their confidence and help them understand the power they have to be their "best selves"?
Life's Best Lessons are Outside the Classroom
In many schools, policies like No Child Left Behind place so much emphasis on test-taking drills that students have little time left over for hands-on learning. Daniel Fireside reports on a group of schools that are taking a different approach: They're connecting children to their communities by giving them a stake in local interests such as food, neighborhood housing, and politics, and they're raising test scores in the process. The schools are involved in place-based education, which engages kids in service and uses community members as mentors. Students not only learn about their local environments and neighborhoods; they actively seek solutions to the problems they encounter.
- How important is it for schools to help students practice good citizenship?
- What engaged you most as a student? Was it a school project, a special teacher, or an extracurricular activity, such as Boy Scouts, 4-H, or a music ensemble? How did the experience help you learn about your skills or your community?
- What could you or your community do to supplement the education students get in school and to teach them about their local economy, politics, or natural resources? What steps might your community take to provide opportunities for students to engage in practical skills and critical thinking?
Grounded Learning
Teacher and author Ron Miller contends that our society needs a "great reskilling"—instead of preparing ourselves for careers in office cubicles, we need to learn to feed, clothe, and nourish ourselves using the resources of our local communities and bioregions. Miller is now educating himself this way, getting his hands in the dirt and teaching himself about permaculture. He says the Earth can no longer afford an education system that prepares us for an unsustainable, fossil-fuel-driven lifestyle.
- Do you agree that a sustainable future will require us to retrain in practical, hands-on skills? What practical skills might you acquire? How would you learn them? How might such an education be rewarding?
- What skills do you think your community will need to acquire to become more sustainable and adapt to a changing world and economy? How might our education system incorporate training in those skills?
Know Yourself, Change Your World
In an interview with executive editor Sarah van Gelder, educator and author Parker J. Palmer says that the key to a quality education and career is a better understanding of our inner lives. If people "mine their emotions for knowledge," we can improve our sense of trust and make positive changes in society.
- Have you encountered a situation at the workplace in which you witnessed or were asked to carry out unconscionable tasks, like the doctors Palmer mentions in the interview? What, if anything, did you do about it? How did it change your mind about the people you worked with or the environment you were in? How might our education system prepare us to make difficult moral decisions or question unethical practices in our institutions?
- Does a larger mission guide your work and your choices? If not, how might you find that sense of moral purpose? How can you strengthen your contributions to that purpose?
- Palmer quotes Socrates: "The unexamined life is not worth living." Have there been pivotal events in your life that have caused you to reassess your place in the world or your quality of life? How did those events change your outlook or habits?
- Many of the problems Americans face today—inadequate health care, recession, and environmental crises— stem from a lack of "moral agents." How can we instill a sense of morality in the choices that governments, corporations, and everyday people make? How can we make this part of everyone's basic professional training?
- Palmer challenges us to stand and act in the "tragic gap," reconciling the harsh realities we face with the great things we know are possible. What issues in our world require us take on that gap? And what possibilities for change might we be overlooking as a society? How can we encourage others to consider those possibilities?
What are you doing? How are you using this discussion guide? How could we improve it?

Cards preparing new ways to handle plays at plate
With MLB likely moving away from collisions, catchers will take new approach
JUPITER, Fla. -- Two months after the Major League Baseball Playing Rules Committee announced its recommendation to ban home-plate collisions, the rule change remains merely a proposal.
The Cardinals, however, are not waiting for it to become law.
Whether or not the rule change is implemented by Opening Day, the Cardinals will be asking their catchers to handle plays at the plate differently than they have in the past. As manager Mike Matheny said on Monday, shortly before spending time tutoring the catchers on new mechanics, "We're moving forward that it is a must-slide, must-tag play."
Matheny has been on the front lines advocating for the elimination of home-plate collisions and has used his career, which ended prematurely due to concussions, to demonstrate the risks catchers face. He spoke to members of the MLB Playing Rules Committee about the issue at the Winter Meetings, after which the committee proposed a ban.
As of the January Owners' Meetings, MLB was still in the process of writing the rule changes. Those would then have to be approved by the MLB Players Association and World Umpires Association before becoming official.
While the specifics remain up for debate, the Cardinals have designated chunks of instruction time to prepare their catchers for the change.
"We have to completely revamp the mechanics from where we set up and how we go about placing a tag," Matheny explained. "But our catchers have been extremely open to it understanding the reasoning and they have adapted real well. We have accomplished a lot already in just two times working on it. [We] already have come a long ways figuring out mechanically what we can do."
The mechanics are all a work in progress, partially because the team does not yet know exactly how the rule is going to be written. The Cardinals have long taught their catchers to leave the back point of the plate open for the baserunner, even while setting up on the corner of the plate that touches the third-base line.
The organization is now instructing its catchers -- regardless of where the throw is coming from -- to plant their feet on the other corner of home plate, along the right-field line. That leaves the plate open and will require that the catcher get in a low position, where he can then make a swipe tag at any point over the plate.
"We're probably going to show all of the plate," Matheny said. "We're going to show the whole plate, give them somewhere to slide and then be in position to where we can make the tag before they can get to that point."
The instruction is not all that different than what the Cardinals give to their third basemen. The difference, of course, is that baserunners cannot do a quick swipe of the back corner of third base as they can at home.
"You have to make adjustments," catcher Yadier Molina said after Monday's exercise. "Obviously, it's not going to be the same. Right now, we can block the plate. It's going to be different for us. That's why Spring Training is going to help. You're able to practice it and then finally you've made the adjustment yourself."
The adjustment isn't necessarily an easy one, as it is a forced change to what has become an instinctual play. Tony Cruz, for example, said he is still figuring out how best to make a tag from the new position in front of the plate. His instinct is to tag with two hands and block the plate. Now, he's likely to grab the ball with two hands but tag with one.
"The first day we did it, I had to really think about it," Cruz said. "Today we did it again, and it flowed a little bit better. We'll have to see when game speed does come about. ... It's something that's evolving. We're trying it and seeing how it works. We're still trying to come up with the best way to make that play."
The Cardinals will continue to tinker with catcher positioning throughout these spring drills. There will also be an element of baserunning instruction so that all players know how to best approach home plate as a runner when anticipating a bang-bang play.
"There are little nuances there, but I'm real happy with how the guys have been, one, open to the idea, that they believe this is an idea that's going to help them," Matheny said. "They're embracing the concept, and they've jumped all over how to try and maximize it. ... We're going to be taking an angle to make sure our guys are safe."

Better managed natural resources expand livelihoods
Naranbek Ristan slings his binoculars and notebook around his neck and mounts his horse with graceful ease. He is setting off on a monthly patrol of 6,000 hectares of community land to check on wildlife.
The country he will cover is harsh, magnificent and daunting. But for Ristan, most importantly, it is home. Ristan comes from the Kazakh ethnic group and lives in the community of Akhbastau (literally "White Springs") in the Altai Mountains of Mongolia's extreme west. People here are herders and horsemen living in gers (yurts) decorated with colourful floor and wall carpets.
The Altai Mountains, which harbour endangered species such as the snow leopard and Argali sheep, are a critical area for global conservation. Life here is tough, with long and brutal winters. Fierce gales combined with drought create a catastrophic phenomenon called the dzud. The 2009 dzud killed one in five domestic animals in the country. Wildlife numbers are declining as a result of overhunting and overfishing, and livestock pasture lands are deteriorating.
Highligts :
- Over the past six years, the Altai Sayan Project has worked with herder communities in the Mongolian mountains to manage natural resources while improving and expanding livelihood opportunities for herders
- More than 7,000 herders received training for new trades, which help make them more resilient to external shocks to the agricultural system.
- The government designated 12 nationally-protected areas totalling nearly 8 million hectares, an area three times as large as The Netherlands.
- 64 officially-registered community groups, including 912 herder families, manage natural resources on land covering more than 500,000 hectares.
- The US $11.2 million project was supported by UNDP, the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the Netherlands and several other partners.
Overgrazing is one of the main causes of environmental degradation in the range, worsened by climate change, and many herders have stopped traditional rotational grazing methods.
But over the past six years, the Altai Sayan Project has worked with communities to manage natural resources, while improving and expanding livelihood opportunities for herders. The project was supported by UNDP, the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the Netherlands and several other partners.
Training herders in new trades
Through project support, more than 7,000 herders received training in new trades, including weaving and felt-making; dairy processing and marketing; tourism; and wildlife management. The project provided small loans and grants to community groups in the region for this training.
Diversification of livelihoods makes the herders more resilient to external shocks and reduces pressure on pasture land.
The initiative instituted 20 environment units within the local government office to support community groups. The project also helped create eco-clubs to foster environmental education in 20 local primary schools, each equipped with a club room and library materials.
Once these herders began managing their own natural resources, they started to support each other in additional ways, coming together to shear sheep, rotate their livestock and make hay ahead of winter. Many communities even decided to decrease the number of livestock to only what the grasslands could support.
They also established a hospitality ger for tourists, with 15 percent of income put into the community fund, and the rest divided among the households.
"We now have more options and different income sources," Ristan says. "And we are better prepared for harsh winters. The dzud impact in this community was minimal last year, which I believe is owing to our organization."
In 2011, the initiative culminated in important, nationwide changes.
Mongolia's Environmental Protection Law was amended to include clear legal provision for community-based natural resource management. The government designated nationally-protected areas, and official community groups managed natural resources on some of those areas.
After the project ended, the local government environmental units took over to support the community groups and their conservation efforts.

Back when I hosted server for demo I used 2 slots for making it non-empty and other reasons
which was pretty easy. All I had to do was to put 2 lines in
- Code: Select all
game.createlocalplayer Player 1
game.createlocalplayer Player 2
Now I'm running a key-hashed based server on full (BF1942_w32ded-1.612-keyhash_all_clients)
So I presume it's a bit more complicated, I've already tried putting it in serverautoexec.con with no luck.
How to do it then? Or will this only work for the non-keyhased based server?
Thanks in advance!

Q: At a recent operations meeting, I whispered a comment to a colleague about an inaccurately quoted statistic being discussed. Suddenly, my boss called my name and proceeded to ask if I'd heard what was just said.
Feeling my face flush I answered no and tried to explain what we were talking about. In a superior tone, I was told I needed to learn to pay attention. I was so embarrassed! I couldn't concentrate and sat in seething silence for the rest of the meeting.
I'd like to give my boss a piece of my mind, but I don't want to jeopardize my job. Do you have any advice?
A: Our negative self-talk tends to ramp up when we're in conflict with others, and it can be really difficult to stay focused. Afterwards, we re-play the scene over and over in our mind's eye, justifying our position and making assumptions.
Anger and resentment further fuel our thinking, challenging our ability to judge the situation clearly. More often than not, the stories we tell ourselves sabotage our learning opportunities.
Be prepared to have a discussion with your boss if you want to resolve this. First examine the situation from a curious, learning focused mindset versus a judgmental one. This will help you navigate through your experience more accurately and identify what you want.
Re-think the situation using Gervase Bush's Experience Cube exercise. It's based on four key questions: What am I observing about this situation? What do I think as a result of my observations? How do I feel based on my observation? What do I want as result of my observations?

UNIBEN lecturer caught in the actHeadlines Wednesday, January 9th, 2013
From TONY OSAUZO, Benin
A senior lecturer of the University of Benin (UNIBEN), has landed in trouble for extorting N100, 000 from a female student . The lecturer (name withheld), who is in the Faculty of Law was arrested by the university's security personnel and handed over to the police after he allegedly collected the marked money from the student to change her course of study from English Language to Law.
It was learnt that the arrest of the lecturer had led to the busting of a syndicate that specialized in extorting money from students in the institution. Informed sources at the university revealed that the suspect, said to have strong links in the committee constituted by management to coordinate students' inter-faculty movement every academic session, used his vantage position to compel the female student to pay N150,000 to approve her request for a switch from the Faculty of Arts to the Law faculty.
It was gathered that the student, who could not immediately raise the money, following pressure mounted on her by the lecturer, reported to another lecturer, who decried the planned extortion and encouraged her to formally lodge a complaint with the higher authority in the institution. Following the advice, the student played along and called the lecturer that she could only raise N100, 000, which she was promptly directed to pay into a certain account given her by the lecturer.
Luck, however, ran against the lecturer when he called the girl's mobile phone, asking her to discontinue the bank arrangement and instead, to bring the money to him in his office, just when she was going to pay the money into the bank account earlier given to her. Sources told Daily Sun that no sooner that the female student delivered the marked money to the lecturer than the alerted personnel from the security unit swooped on the unsuspecting lecturer and handed him over to the police.
A search in the lecturer's office by the university security personnel was said to have led to the discovery of a list of 18 students, including the female student who paid the N100, 000.00. When contacted, the Public Relations Officer of the university, Mr Harrison Osarenren, confirmed the report, saying "with the arrest, we will try and rid the system of bad eggs."

Creating Controllers and Actions
This feature is supported in the Ultimate edition only.
The following is only valid when Ruby Plugin is installed and enabled!
When creating a controller, use the IntelliJ IDEA approach described in the section Creating Rails Application Elements.
IntelliJ IDEA suggests two ways of defining actions in controllers. First, you can define actions on creating a controller. Alternatively, it is also possible to edit the source code, enjoying the powerful IntelliJ IDEA coding assistance features.
To create a controller and define actions and options in it, follow these steps
- As described in the section Creating Rails Application Elements, do one of the following:
- On the main menu, choose .
- With the editor, or the Project tool windows having the focus, press Alt+Insert, or choose on the context menu of the Project tool window. Then choose .
- In the pop-up window, type
- In the Add New Controller dialog box, type the controller name and actions delimited with spaces.
Next, click the right arrow to reveal the fields for entering directory and additional options:
- In the Options section, specify the target directory and options, and then click OK:
Alternatively, open the desired controller in the editor, type the def keyword, then the action name, and press Enter. IntelliJ IDEA automatically adds the closing end keyword, and marks the new action with the view icon in the left gutter.
Using private and public modifiers results in hiding or showing view icons in the gutter, and, respectively disabling or enabling creation of views. In the Project tool window, such methods are marked as and icons respectively.

Carmelo Anthony had the highest scoring game ever at Madison Square Garden last night and surpassed Bernard King's 60 for the franchise record of points scored in a game. Once Melo passed King (and Kobe Bryant's MSG record of 61 points) he was removed with over seven minutes remaining because the Knicks were thrashing the Bobcats in a game that went final at 125-96. You might say, "well, they were playing the Bobcats." And you might be right—Charlotte is now 19-26 and holding on to the last playoff spot in a weak conference—but you'd be forgetting that "they" were the Knicks. This was desperately needed.
The Knicks, entering the game at 15-27 and looking up at the playoffs, are all sorts of fucked up. Who knows what's going on with J.R. Smith. Bargs is gone indefinitely. Amar'e Stoudemire is back in street clothes. Worse, these pass as actual concerns for the team. Anthony's performance gave everyone something to cheer about and ended a five-game losing streak, an outcome that was a mere eventuality come halftime.
Said Anthony, after the game: "When I made the shot at the half, I told myself the zone was there." The Knicks were up 21 at the half and Melo had so mesmerized the Garden crowd that they would be chanting "MVP" and "We Want Melo!" by the end of the night.
Melo shot 66 percent on 23-35 from the field and the zone he was talking about was essentially everywhere, except from the right elbow out.
Anthony was also a perfect 10-10 from the free-throw line and even had LeBron James making up hashtags to describe the night. But the most apt description came from beleaguered teammate, J.R. Smith. Usually a wordsmith, he was at a loss for them:
"I've seen him score a lot of points, but that was some performance right there.

I can hardly believe this is going to be the third year of organising the Heroes of the Mobile Fringe Festival in Barcelona. And on top of that, it will be my eighth Swedish Beers party in Barcelona. It has been quite the journey and certainly one that isn't over yet.
The success (or not) of the festival is really down to YOU. I'll be organising Swedish Beers (the bar is booked for Wednesday 26 February and I'll have more details coming soon but feel free to connect on Facebook and Twitter to get updates). I am also organising an event with the UKTI aimed at investors on Sunday 23 February. And maybe one or two more things. But everything else is up to you and for you to make of it as you will. My goal in this is to help the right people get together and to help you make the most of the week.
How to get involved?
Create an event. Whether it's a small round-table, a panel discussion, a lunch, a dinner, a party or something else entirely, as long as it's related to mobile, falls within the 23 to 28 February 2014 and is interesting*, then it's in. It does not have to be held in Barcelona either – if you'd like to put something on in your town or city during those dates, then feel free. There were events in London and Helsinki last year – can we add any more this year?
Once you've created an event, please add it here so I can include it as a listing. There is no charge to list your event. I repeat, there is no charge to list your event!
If you need a venue, I may be able to help. I know some people locally who can help source, or I can recommend a few places. Barcelona is full of lovely bars and restaurants and many of them are very happy to welcome new guests.
If you have an event idea, but need some help fleshing it out, then feel free to run it past me – just add it to the list or drop me a line. I charge reasonable rates for organising events for clients. And if I'm not the right person to do it, then I probably know someone who is.
If you're not up to organising your own event, but would like to sponsor something, then please get in touch. There are a couple of sponsorship slots available for Swedish Beers and there are a couple of other events I'd like to see happen subject to sponsorship.
If you have an event and would like to give it a bit extra marketing push, then get in touch. I can offer paid-for marketing services in this respect. Or I can make some recommendations.
Alternatively, you can offer your services as a volunteer or as a media partner.
And before you ask me about how to score an exhibition pass for Mobile World Congress, that's the subject of another post. I don't have a secret stash of them. In fact, I don't even have one for myself.
See you in Barcelona!
*I have the final decision whether or not to include something in the festival or deem it interesting. Avoid the sales pitches and we should be good to go!

For Edward Norton making movies isn't just about giving a dynamite performance. It's about collaborating on a piece of entertainment that reflects his view of the world — and pulls that off without preaching to the audience.
He leaped into stardom just 14 years ago as a choirboy accused of murder in the tricky thriller "Primal Fear." But he set the tone of his career with 1999's "Fight Club," in which alienated Gen Xers got in touch with their inner primates via bare-knuckled scraps.
"Stone," the new Norton film that opens Friday, could have been called "Primal Angst."
Norton plays the title role, combining the shape-changing virtuosity that made him stand out in "Primal Fear" and the hunger for transcendence that underlay his fisticuffs in "Fight Club." A corn-rowed convict with a seductive line of backwater jive, Stone will do anything to get out of prison. That includes using his sexy grade-school teacher wife ( Milla Jovovich) to manipulate his reticent big-house case-worker ( Robert De Niro).
The plot sounds like rote pulp fiction about a ruthless couple who put the squeeze on an uptight official in more ways than one. But Norton's elusive jailbird is disarmingly complex.
"I think that Stone, in the beginning, is defined not so much by evil but by anxiety," Norton said over the phone last week. "He's anguished with fear at the prospect of not being released. He wants so desperately to know what he needs to do to get out."
Norton's fast-talking arsonist is scarily observant, freakily open to spiritual and aesthetic revelations, and often brutally frank, especially about the woman he calls an "alien" — his wife. Stone realizes that he must know himself and his position in the universe even if he's stuck behind bars.
He's the opposite of De Niro's burned-out bureaucrat, who can't find love in his marriage or spiritual comfort in his church and has bottled-up his violent emotions all his life.
Norton said that the film emerged from his desire to work with John Curran, who previously directed him in "The Painted Veil," a story about the difficulty of marriage that was also about, in Norton's words, "the arrogance of Western rationality."
"I pulled him into 'The Painted Veil,'" Norton said, "But he pulled me into this one. It took a while."
Curran saw potential in the script that Norton and De Niro couldn't fathom.
"Both to me and to De Niro he kept explaining how he wanted to make it more than a noirish kind of prison film. He wanted to go after deeper themes: how people change and redeem themselves; what constitutes a real spiritual experience; what are the consequences of living behind the artifice of marriage and church if you're not authentically feeling it."
As Norton grasped Curran's vision, he said, he "began to feel that in many ways John was catching people's fear and frustration in the wake of the economic collapse. He was capturing the sensation people feel when what they see as stable is suddenly unstable. I think that permeates the film."
Norton stays tuned to the Zeitgeist, but he balks at tackling topical issues head-on. He'd rather go at them sideways, as in "Stone" and " Pride and Glory," a New York City cop movie about police venality that's also about "the institutional lying" that swept through America at the time of Abu Ghraib.
Norton doesn't make message movies. "That implies you're imposing a point of view on an audience. I don't think that leaves the audience any room to do any thinking for themselves."
As Stone, for example, he must depict a mystical transformation after witnessing a terrible atrocity. A viewer has to wonder whether this spiritual change will really alter Stone's ethics and behavior.
But Norton, as an actor, knew exactly how he wanted to play it. "To me, the shift he makes is from agitation toward calm. It's a shift toward a kind of peaceful acceptance of his need to grapple with who he is no matter where he is."
That change is the opposite of calming for the audience.
"It's challenging," Norton said. "People are scared of ambiguity when you talk to them about it. But it's often ambiguity that allows audiences to participate. It allows them to see the movie through the lens of their own experience. It enables them to argue about meaning and think a little more actively."
Norton had already acted with De Niro in Frank Oz's caper film, "The Score." But acting with De Niro in this film was a bit of poetic justice.
"Definitely, the films that most affected me would fit this category, going back to De Niro's old movies, from 'Taxi Driver' to 'King of Comedy.' Those are very ambiguous films. They unsettle you and they don't resolve things for you," he said. "When my own films have had that kind of impact, like 'Fight Club' or 'American History X' or 'The 25th Hour,' it's because the filmmakers were very comfortable leaving audiences with a lot of questions in their heads."
Norton knows that it's more difficult to find backing for these films, because the men and women who put up money for them "are afraid people won't understand them. But I think, paradoxically, it's what makes people actually feel more of a participatory relationship with the film. They think harder about it and want to see the movie again. They form a deeper relationship to it. When you make absolutely sure that every single minutia of the point you're trying to make is clear, all you're doing is letting people go to dinner and talk about something else. You're not really respecting your audience much."
For a happy example of a man who had "a successful commercial career" but also respected his customers, Norton can look to his maternal grandfather, James Rouse, who created the planned community, Columbia, where Norton grew up.
"Even his business was an opportunity to serve, and he was exuberantly engaged in the life of his city and his country. The great thing is that he wasn't in any way the kind of guy who had this saintly feeling about him. You got the sense that he was just having fun all the time. He wore Madras jackets and yellow pants and fishing hats all his life; I don't think he ever wore a suit. He was one of the least serious serious people that I've ever met."
Norton, for all his seriousness, has a playful, adventurous spirit of his own. Consider the pet projects he's been nurturing for years: a film adaptation of Jonathan Lethem's "Motherless Brooklyn," about a detective with Tourette's syndrome; and "Undaunted Courage," an HBO miniseries based on Stephen Ambrose's book about Lewis and Clark's voyage of discovery. (He promises both will happen, though he doesn't know exactly when.)
Norton said that he feels lucky to have learned from Rouse "that engaging with your community doesn't have to be seen as a duty. It can be seen as a source of joy and an expansion of your life."

Welcome to a series of lessons about early American immigration! These lessons are part of a six week unit my district is implementing all about the United States of America, including the people, The Preamble, and the presidents. This week, we'll work on reading informational text and historical literature to meet the 50/50 ratio of fiction to informational text in the Common Core. The students take a step back in time, to enjoy a daily update from our principal narrating a historical journey from being an emigrant to becoming an immigrant of the United States. Please watch this short video to see some highlights of these lessons. Thank you!
*Please note: Lessons one and two were taught in the same day. We used our computer lab time to complete lesson one, and then completed lesson two during our shared reading time.
Immigration clip art in lesson banner, and other documents purchased from MelonHeadz.
Principal's Immigration Script: Each day this week, our principal is narrating a pretend historical journey beginning with the emigration from our homeland through becoming an immigrant of America. I've specifically included facts and details that the students will be encountering while reading their informational text and literature this week. This will help them make connections, review, and get them excited as they hear an update from their principal daily. Thank you, principal Gravel! (See Resource File: Principal's Script Immigration Week - Thursday)
We're continuing to read the informational text Ellis Island (A True Book).
Vocabulary: To support the students with their content vocabulary this week, I've created an "Immigration Vocabulary" page with important words, and a place for students to add new words. I introduced this page on Monday, so today I just remind students that they can use the page as a reference for content vocabulary, and add their own words to the back as they're reading. This helps my travelers work toward RI3.4, determining the meaning of general academic and domain-specific words. (See Resource File: Immigration Vocabulary and Student Sample)
Sequencing: Today, we continue to read and sequence the steps of emigration through immigration in early America. I begin by reviewing the skill of sequencing, or putting something in chronological order. Today, we read chapter four, "On American Soil at Last", and take notes about an what happened to an immigrant when they arrived at Ellis Island. As we read, we are careful to pay close attention to the nonfiction text features, and monitor our comprehension. After finishing the chapter, we go back, skim, and scan to find the most important steps of this chapter. Students record their chronological steps on Post-it notes.
8. Get off ship - more doctors check you out
9. Legal inspections - morals (beliefs) and literacy
Please note: I've included a photo of a student's Post-it notes from the end of the week. This is after the whole book is read. (See Resource Files: Sequencing Poster; Chronological Post-its)
Today, I keep my review of Dreaming of America: An Ellis Island Story short. I go through answering the Who?, When?, Why?, Which?, Where?, What challenges?, and What adjustments? questions stems, as well as the character paragraph. I answer any questions my students have, and send them on their way to complete their own historical immigration story and work. (See Resource Files: Historical Fiction Literature Immigration Stories Chart; Teacher Sample Character Paragraph)
The students finish reading their historical immigration story. They are working on their Historical Fiction Immigration Analysis. I walk around the room and assist and monitor as needed. (See Resource File: Historical Fiction Immigration Analysis)
Tonight, I sent home the students' immigration stories. They were asked to read the story with an adult. At my school, we use "Oral Reading Slips" to have parents evaluate how well their child read and comprehended the story. This is a great way to form a partnership between school and home. If you notice, all of the reading slips have the same questions that the students are working on answering on their Historical Fiction Literature Analysis. This is a great way to reinforce learning at home. (See Resource Files: Six Immigration Titles Oral Reading Slips)
I was contacted by a few teachers that are interested in my literacy posters, so I've included them here. You'll notice the "Sequencing" poster used within the lesson above, and others used in my other lessons on BetterLesson.
I use these posters throughout the day, across the curriculum. I created them, then had them enlarged slightly to about 11 X 14 size at a local office store. I hope you find them helpful in your classroom. (See Resource Files/Posters: Ask Questions, Author's Purpose, Cause and Effect, Compare and Contrast, Connections, Context Clues, Drawing Conclusions, Fact and Opinion, Figurative Language, Main Idea and Supporting Details, Making Inferences, Predictions, Sequencing, Story Elements, Summarizing, Visualize and Use Senses)

During a raid, Commanche, Kiowa, and Caddo Indians in Texas kidnap nine-year-old Cynthia Ann Parker and kill her family. Adopted into the Commanche tribe, she lived a happy life until Texas Rangers recaptured her and forced her to return to live again among Anglo-Americans.
Silas and Lucy Parker moved their young family from Illinois to Texas in 1832. To protect themselves against the hostile Indians in the region, they erected a solidly constructed civilian stockade about 40 miles east of present-day Waco that came to be called Parker's Fort. The tall wooden stockade was reportedly capable of holding off "a large enemy force" if properly defended. However, when no Indian attacks materialized for many months, the Parker family and the relatives who joined them in the fort became careless. Frequently they left the bulletproof gates to the fort wide open for long periods.
On this day in 1836, several hundred Commanche, Kiowa, and Caddo Indians staged a surprise attack. During the ensuing battle, the Indians killed five of the Parkers. In the chaos, the Indians abducted nine-year-old Cynthia Ann Parker and four other white women and children. The Commanche and Caddo bands later divided women and children between them. The Commanche took Parker, and she lived with them for the next 25 years.
Like many Plains Indian tribes, the Commanche had long engaged in the practice of kidnapping their enemy's women and children. Sometimes these captives were treated like slaves who provided useful work and could be traded for valuable goods. Often, though, captives eventually became full-fledged members of the tribe, particularly if they were kidnapped as young children. Such was the case with Parker.
Anglo-Texans first learned that the young girl might still be alive four years later. A trader named Williams reported seeing Parker with a band of Commanche near the Canadian River in northern Texas. He tried to purchase her release but failed. The Commanche Chief Pahauka allowed Williams to speak to the girl, but she stared at the ground and refused to answer his questions. After four years, Parker apparently had become accustomed to Commanche ways and did not want to leave. In 1845, two other white men saw Parker, who was by then 17 years old. A Commanche warrior told them he was now her husband, and the men reported "she is unwilling to leave" and "she would run off and hide herself to avoid those who went to ransom her."
Clearly, Parker had come to think of herself as Commanche. By all accounts, her husband, a rising young warrior named Peta Nocona, treated her well, and the couple was happily married. She gave birth to three children, two boys and a girl, and Nocona was reportedly so pleased with her that he rejected the common practice of taking several wives and remained monogamous.
Unfortunately, Nocona was also a warrior engaged in brutal war with the Anglo-American invaders, and he soon attracted the wrath of the Texas Rangers for leading several successful attacks on whites. In December 1860, a Ranger force attacked Nocona's village. The Rangers mortally wounded Nocona and captured Parker and her daughter, Prairie Flower.
Returned to Anglo society against her will, Parker was taken to her uncle's farm in Birdville, Texas, where she tried to run away several times. However, with her husband dead and her adopted people fighting a losing battle to survive, Parker apparently resigned herself to an unhappy life among a people she no longer understood. Prairie Flower, her one connection to her old life, died of influenza and pneumonia in 1863. Depressed and lonely, Parker struggled on for seven more years. Weakened by self-imposed starvation, she died of influenza in 1870.

Cavenia Bryant has been arrested for her involvement in the Oakland beauty shop beating posted on You Tube. "We're close on bringing them in. We don't want to scare them by releasing the names publicly," said Jeff Thomason, Public Information Officer for the Oakland Police Department.
The May 5 assault took place around 5:50 p.m., but the victim, Melissa Seals, didn't call the Oakland Police Department until around 7 p.m., Thomason reported. Officers responded and took Seals' statement: six women entered her Oakland hair salon as Seals cut a customer's hair, they locked the door from the inside, then two of the women proceeded to beat Seals for several minutes. Three other women watched the attack and a fourth videotaped the beating.
After giving her statement to the responding officers Seals declined to press charges or identify any of the women involved in the attack, according to OPD records. Seals' refused to press charges for the misdemeanor assault; the officers were obligated by department policy to take a report and close the case without further investigation.

Mac OS X encoding: ffmpegX
ffmpegX describes itself as: "20 Unix tools in a single application to quickly encode and author video in any format." That description is rather apt and with that comes a bit more configurability and with it, a bit more complexity than the Quicktime Pro method. This method also has the advantage of being completely free, but requires you download a few files.
Despite the relative "complexity" of this method, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to people who're new to video encoding; the ffmpegX application is laid out well and you can make it as easy or as difficult as you'd like. First we need to install the application:
ffmpegX installation
1. Download ffmpegX
2. Download the mencoder and mplayer binaries from the same page
3. Follow the instructions for installing ffmpegX properly
4. If you don't already have the ffmpegX application window open, go to your Applications folder and double click on its icon.
5. For your first time through, just click "Try for free." If you find yourself using the software a lot, I highly encourage you to donate US$15 to the project, because it really is a fine piece of software.
Encoding with ffmpegX
Now you should be looking at the main ffmpegX interface. The summary page has two main parts, a source pane and a target pane. To encode a video file to an iPod compatible format follow the steps below. There will be a few configuration changes, so please read carefully or you may not end up with a suitable video file:
1. Click the "Open…" button and pick your video file
2. If you'd like to save the output somewhere besides the automatic default, click the "Save As…" button and pick a new location
3. To make sure ffmpegX can decode your video file, click on the "Play" button. If a window pops up and the video plays as you would expect, we're ready to start configuring the application.
4. Click on the small disclosure arrow in the "To" field of the "Target format" pane. .
You'll get a really long list of formats. The one you want to choose is labeled "MP4 H.264" and is near the top.
5. Click on the "Video" tab and make sure your "Video parameters" are set to "Video Size: 320x240" and "Autosize: 4:3."
Note: Take a quick glance at the "Video Bitrate" under the "Bitrate calculator" and make sure it doesn't exceed 2500 Kbps. If it does, you may have to fiddle around with some settings to get it lower. However, at 480x480 and lower, I seriously doubt it'd get that high
6. This step is optional, but I like to change the audio from 96 kbit/s to 160 kbit/sthe maximum the iPod video format can take.
You can stop at this point and click "Encode" if you like, and you'll get a perfectly fine video file that will work with iTunes and the iPod. If, for whatever reason, you'd like to get a bit more quality, follow these steps:
Click on the "Options" tab and change the "Scaling Method" to "Bicubic", the "ME function" to "Exhaustive" and tick the "Two-pass encoding" checkbox.

MONTREAL — After a shaky season start (2-3 record), the Montreal Alouettes are praying for a turnaround Thursday against the Toronto Argos (Molson Stadium, 7:30 p.m. TSN, RDS) under Jim Popp, the team's general manager who took on his third stint as Als coach last week to replace fired coach Dan Hawkins. As well, Doug Berry now oversees offense.
But injured receiver Jamel Richardson is out, requiring surgery after tearing LCL and ACL ligaments in his left knee Sunday, and running-back Jerome Whitaker is iffy due to a sore shoulder.
Regardless of the lineup, though, word is the Als machine is working more smoothly.
Berry's tweaking things, quarterback Anthony Calvillo told Herb Zurkowsky. "The transition has been great. Everything seems to be much clearer for us. We're not frustrated or worrying about small, little things. Things have been better. Things are working a lot better. Overall, we're all very happy."

There is no single imaging test that can accurately diagnose cancer. The complete evaluation of a patient usually requires a thorough history and physical examination along with diagnostic testing. Many tests are needed to determine whether a person has cancer, or if another condition (such as an infection) is mimicking the symptoms of cancer. Effective diagnostic testing is used to confirm or eliminate the presence of disease, monitor the disease process, and plan for and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment. Tests may be for staging, to determine the extent of cancer and if it has spread, or they may be done to assess prognosis or select specific therapies. In some cases, it is necessary to repeat testing when a person's condition has changed, or if a sample collected was not of good quality, or an abnormal test result needs to be confirmed. Diagnostic procedures for cancer may include imaging, laboratory tests (including tests for tumor markers), tumor biopsy, endoscopic examination, surgery, or genetic testing. Tests are often repeated regularly throughout treatment to re-stage, that is, to determine the effectiveness of treatment and the cancer's response to it.
Imaging is the process of producing valuable pictures of body structures and organs. It is used to detect tumors and other abnormalities, determine the extent of disease, and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment. Imaging may also be used when performing biopsies and other surgical procedures. Listed below are various types of imaging tests that may be used.
X-rays are diagnostic tests that use invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs on film. X-rays may be taken of any part of the body to detect a tumor or cancer.
A noninvasive diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce both horizontal, or axial, images (often called slices) of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than general X-rays.
A lymphangiogram is an imaging study that can detect cancer cells or abnormalities in the lymphatic system and structures. It involves a dye being injected into the lymph system.
A mammogram is an X-ray examination of the breast. It is used to detect and diagnose breast disease in women who either have breast problems such as a lump, pain, or nipple discharge, as well as for women who have no breast complaints. Mammography cannot prove that an abnormal area is cancerous, but if it raises a significant suspicion of cancer, a biopsy must be performed to confirm a cancer diagnosis. During a biopsy procedure, tissue is removed by needle or open surgical biopsy and examined under a microscope to determine if it is cancer. Mammography has been used for about 30 years, and in the past 15 years technical advancements have greatly improved both the technique and results. Today, dedicated equipment, used only for breast X-rays, produces studies that are high in quality but low in radiation dose. Radiation risks are considered to be negligible.
This diagnostic procedure, without the use of X-rays, uses high-frequency sound waves and a computer to create images, called sonograms, of blood vessels, tissues, and organs. Sonograms are used to view internal organs as they function and to assess blood flow through various vessels. Tumors in the abdomen, liver, and kidneys can often be seen with an ultrasound. (Ultrasound is not useful in the chest because the ribs block the sound waves.) Ultrasound can be used through a probe that can be inserted into organs, such as the anus, vagina, or esophagus and brought closer to the internal organs, producing a more accurate picture.
MRI is a diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of a large magnet, radiofrequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body. An MRI is often used to examine the heart, brain, liver, pancreas, male and female reproductive organs, and other soft tissues. It can assess blood flow, detect tumors and diagnose many forms of cancer, evaluate infections, and assess injuries to bones and joints.
PET is a specialized radiology procedure used to examine various body tissues to identify certain conditions. PET may also be used to follow the progress of the treatment of certain conditions. PET is a type of nuclear medicine procedure. This means that a tiny amount of a radioactive substance, called a radionuclide (a radiopharmaceutical or radioactive tracer), is injected into the body during the procedure to assist in the examination of the tissue under study. A special type of camera can then detect the radioactivity in the body. Specifically, PET studies evaluate the metabolism (utilization of tagged glucose molecules) of a particular organ or tissue, so that information about the physiology (functionality) and anatomy (structure) of the organ or tissue is evaluated, as well as its biochemical properties. Thus, PET may detect biochemical changes in an organ or tissue that can identify the onset of a disease process before anatomical changes related to the disease can be seen with other imaging processes, such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). More recently, PET/CT performs PET and CT at the same time and produces a composite image that can both produce a picture of an organ and measure its utilization of sugar.
These scans take pictures after injecting into the body a substance called radionuclides that release a low level of radiation. Special cameras create pictures of where the material travels and collects. A tumor may show up as a "hot spot." These scans are used to detect tumors and bone abnormalities. Some common nuclear scans are bone scan, PET scan, thyroid scan, MUGA scan, or gallium scan.

Men with type 1 diabetes appear to be better at blood sugar control than women, but there is no significant difference in blood sugar control between boys and girls. These are the findings of new research presented at this week's annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Barcelona, Spain. The research is by Professor Sarah Wild, University of Edinburgh, UK, and colleagues from the International quality of care for type 1 diabetes group.
Since there are limited data showing differences in blood sugar control in type 1 diabetes between the sexes, Wild and colleagues investigated this issue using a large international dataset analysing patients from 12 countries (Austria, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Latvia, New Zealand, Norway, Scotland, Slovenia, Sweden, Ukraine, United States), representing a total of 142,260 child and adult patients.
The researchers analysed blood sugar control over the previous 12 to 24 months derived from both population-based registers and clinic databases. The comparison was the proportions of people with HbA1c ≥7.5% (58mmol/mol) for females compared to males, adjusted for age and duration of diabetes within three age strata that broadly represent paediatric (<15 years), young adult (15-29 years) and adult populations (≥30 years).
The team found that proportions of people with HbA1c ≥7.5% (and therefore worse blood sugar control) ranged from 64.4% in boys <15 years of age to 74.0% in women of 15-29 years old. In the youngest age group there was no statistically significant difference between boys and girls. In the two older age categories, women aged 15-29 years were 8% more likely to miss the target and have HbA1c ≥7.5% then men of the same age, and women aged 30 years and over were 6% more likely to miss the target than men in the same age group.
Dr Wild concludes: "In this analysis of type 1 diabetes data from several countries males were more likely to have a better blood sugar control profile than females. Further work is required to investigate explanations for this finding."
She adds: "One explanation could be that women tend to have lower haemoglobin levels than men which could explain the higher HbA1c levels, but further research is required to confirm this."

San Francisco 32, Chicago 7: In his first career start, Colin Kaepernick out-dueled Jason Campbell and it was not even close. Kaepernick had 243 yards and two touchdowns to Campbell's 107 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. The usually sticky-fingered Bears defense forced zero turnovers and the offense was therefore the only show in town—not a good show.
Really, all you need to know about the game is this Frank Gore block on Lance Briggs, which allowed Kaepernick to find Vernon Davis midway through the first quarter to give San Francisco a 10-0 lead. They could have stopped right then.

For some people, this Kiss Transmission Device is the closest they'll get to the real thing – so please people, try and curb your snark for a few minutes while I tell you about how the Japanese devices link up over the internet, replicating the users' manipulation of the straw-like tool in their mouth. The person on the other end of the wireless line can feel, and respond in turn, to their kiss.
"The elements of a kiss include the sense of taste, the manner of breathing, and the moistness of the tongue. If we can recreate all of those I think it will be a really powerful device," claims the Kajimoto Laboratory creators. And that's just if it's contained to the mouth. Think about it.

Basic camera settings
The opening or aperture of a lens, also known as the iris, greatly affects the amount of light reaching the sensor. The f-number of the lens is the quotient of the focal length of the lens and the diameter of the opening. For example, a 50 mm lens with a 25 mm aperture would have an f- number of 2.0, as 50/25=2. The higher the f-number, the smaller the opening will be, and vice versa. A lower f-number means that more light will reach the sensor.
The aperture also affects the depth of field, that is, how much of the scene that is in focus at the same time. A wide open lens will have a very shallow depth of field. Objects slightly closer to or further from the camera than the set focus point will be out of focus. By increasing the f-number (thus closing the aperture), the depth of field increases, and the objects can be brought back into focus.
Another camera setting directly connected to the amount of light available in the scene is the shutter speed. This is the amount of time that the shutter is opened for, allowing light to enter and hit the sensor and create an image, for example 1/50th of a second. When there is more light available, the shutter does not need to stay open for as long, so faster shutter speeds are possible. As the light decreases, the shutter speed needs to be slower, to allow the sensor more time to get enough light to form an image. When the shutter speed is very slow, anything moving in the scene will appear blurred in the image, as the object's position changes during the capture. This is called motion blur, and has a negative effect on both image quality and usability of video.
Many cameras employ an internal boost of the image signal, called gain. To enable image capture in low light without affecting the shutter speed or the depth of field, the weak sensor signal can be electronically amplified, resulting in a brighter image. A side-effect of this is that tiny imperfections in the image are also amplified and are reproduced as image noise.
Axis cameras automatically adjust the aperture, shutter speed and gain to produce an image that is always correctly exposed. It is also possible to specify a priority setting to favor either low noise or low motion blur, depending on your requirements.

(The Smoking Gun) After demanding that the mother of a crying toddler "shut that ni--er baby up," a male passenger allegedly slapped the 19-month-old across the face as a flight prepared to land in Atlanta last Friday evening, The Smoking Gun has learned.
The shocking February 8 incident aboard Delta Airlines Flight 721 resulted in Joe Rickey Hundley, 60, being charged with simple assault, according to a U.S. District Court affidavit. Hundley is president of an aircraft parts manufacturer headquartered in Hayden, Idaho.
In an interview, Hundley denied striking the toddler or using a racial slur, though he did acknowledge that he "asked the mother to quiet the child." Hundley, who said he was traveling to Atlanta to visit a hospitalized relative, described himself as "distraught" on the flight, during which he said he consumed a single alcoholic drink.
