High school student Hoshi Izumi (Nagasawa Masami) loses her father suddenly in an accident. One day, Sakuma (Tsutsumi Shinichi), the waka gashira of a small and weak Yakuza gang in Asakusa – the Medaka Gumi – pays Izumi a visit along with the gang members. The death of their former kumicho (Boss) puts Medaka Gumi on the verge of a breakup. Therefore, Sakuma begs Izumi, the former boss’s only distant relative left, to succeed to the kumicho position. Izumi is taken by surprise and keeps refusing at first. However, she ends up becoming the 8th kumicho of the Medaka Gumi!
The police tell her that her father’s death may possibly be a homicide case. There’s also Mayumi (Koizumi Kyoko), a mysterious woman staring closely at Izumi’s father’s photograph at his funeral. The situation becomes complicated when the drug-dealing vicious yakuza, Hamaguchi Gumi, comes into the picture as well as Sandaiji Hajime (Ogata Ken), a politician whose public stance is to eliminate drugs.
Proper ball position is critical to executing accurate drives. Too far back in your stance will leave the ball out to the right, while a ball played too far forward will promote pulls. Learn how to master the correct ball position from Tim Mahoney, Director of Education for Troon Golf.

Politics is the entertainment branch of industry. - Frank Zappa
/ Is 'Disaster Capitalism' merely a hot short-term investment opportunity for you? Or is it a national 'crisis,' a warning bell, a 'shocking' call to ... rein in the 'military-industrial complex' mindset that's pushing America into a disastrous, self-destructive future?
"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable an ignorable war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." - Albert Einstein
This episode of the Longines Chronoscope with Frank Knight features James A. Farley, the former United States Postmaster General. Farley expects to see Governor Stevenson win the next election for the presidency. Governor Stevenson should be able to carry the entire south and with a couple big wins throughout the U.S., perhaps win the presidency. Farley sites the fact that governments do not usually change hands while people have jobs. People with steady jobs are less likely to be looking critically at the President. Also, the opposition, General Eisenhower, has seemed to be slipping. Eisenhower has not spoken out or taken a stand on many of the issues, and the lack of stance seems to have really hurt him among his supporters. Farley expects to see a strong support from the labor unions, minorities, and farmers across the U.S. Democrats should be able to control the House of Representatives, Senate, and Presidency in this election.

Last winter we decided VBS had to do a story on the Oil Sands of Alberta. So far no American media outlet had comprehensively covered it and even the local press's approach has left a lot to be desired. No one seemed to even know what it was. It's strange that as we hit peak oil and the global oil reserves go on the decline, we have heard next to nothing about the fact that Canada, due to improved oil extraction technology and record oil prices, is poised to become a major player in the geopolitical market place. The big question going in is what does this sudden access to previously unobtainable oil mean? Is this our get out of jail free card for the present energy crisis or is it another pipe dream being hyped up by the very corporations and lobbyists who stand to gain the most from it? Traveling through the haze of Ft. McMurray did nothing but fortify our stance on fossil fuel. It's dirty, expensive, and--most importantly--nonrenewable.

Victimized in High School due to no fault of his own, except for his nonviolent stance and light skin color, Martin Datalis now seeks to save a dying city from its own badness. Masquerading around town in a black costume and illegally-confiscated hi-tech equipment, he soon realizes the complexities that come from living a double life. If that wasn't enough, he now must face a masked copy-cat who wants to unmask him and undo all the good he's brought upon the community. Can Martin, under his new identity, disarm his new foe while keeping his identity secret so as not to end up in prison with the very thugs he apprehends?

Chamara Silva first arrived on the scene as a slightly-built 19-year-old in 1999, a beneficiary of the youth policy adopted by Sidath Wettimuny, the chairman of the selectors at the time. He began with a promising 54 on his ODI debut against Australia. His mannerisms while batting - particularly bow-legged stance and the flamboyant cover drives - immediately attracted comparisons with the great Aravinda de Silva. But despite being prodigiously talented, he failed to nail down a regular place during tours to Sharjah (1999), Zimbabwe (1999), Pakistan (2000) and England (2002). After the England tour he dropped out of the selectors' radar and returned to domestic cricket where he captained Panadura Cricket Club. Over the next four years he was a prolific run-scorer, especially after a move to Sebastianites for the 2004-05 season. Eventually he caught the eye of Tom Moody, who could not understand why he was not in the national squad.
Although noted more as a villian in cinema, actor Victor Buono did release a comedy album of poetry called "Heavy". This segment of the album raised eyebrows at the time for it's stance against abortion.
