Quite possibly.

Randomness: I first learned of Todai as a shortened form of Tokyo Daigaku (University) from Love Hina ( ANN | ANFO ). Anime can be educational~
If I remember the characters correctly when I was there, it's either 'big star' or 'celebrity'

Does George Lucas know his target audience at all? Actually, does he even have a target audience besides himself?
"It's not like the old 'Star Wars,' " Lucas told theater owners at the ShoWest convention. "This one's a little bit more emotional. We like to describe it as 'Titanic' in space. It's a tearjerker."
Lucas knows many fans wanted the prequel trilogy to introduce Vader early on rather than trace Anakin's downfall from nice little boy to bratty teen to dark knight of the galaxy. "Revenge of the Sith" presents Anakin in Vader's black get-up only at the very end of the movie, Lucas said.

"Obviously, fans would love to see a movie about Darth Vader running around killing people," said Lucas, who also was on hand to receive a "galactic-achievement award" from ShoWest organizers. "I'm not telling that story, and I'm not interested in that. That's not what the movie is.

"This first trilogy is really about the father, the struggles of a father, or a man, basically, to find himself, and at the same time fall into a trap of wanting certain powers, making a pact with the devil and basically spending the rest of his life regretting it."

Hacking Google Print. I'm glad I don't have to think about things because the internet does it for me.

Science has now confirmed what I have long held to be true:

Teen-age Christian girls are all about sucking cock and taking it up the ass

"Although young people who sign a virginity pledge delay the initiation of sexual activity, marry at younger ages and have fewer sexual partners, they are also less likely to use condoms and more likely to experiment with oral and anal sex, said the researchers from Yale and Columbia universities."

But a person who posted on the site of the Libertarian National Socialist Green Party identified himself as "Jeff Weise, from the Red Lake 'Indian' Reservation." The writer said he disliked interracial mixing among the American Indians on the reservation where he lived.
*Ahem*

Libertarian Socialists?

Somewhere, Karl Marx is turning over in his grave.

Actually, it's "National Socialist", or Nazi. As I recall from history class, the Nazis were a reaction against the socialist/communist movements that were growing in popularity. Calling themselves socialists was just a propaganda move.

That said, fascism is still pretty hard to reconcile with libertarianism.

Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging

 


The Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA) is an ongoing longitudinal study of how biology and behavior change as people get older. A longitudinal study is a type of research study in which the same group of people is studied and tested at intervals over a long period of time.


The BLSA began in 1958 as a small project involving a few men, but it now includes more than 1,100 men and women who undergo testing. Every two years, participants return to the National Institute of Aging's Gerontology Research Center in Baltimore, Maryland, to undergo two-and-a-half days of tests to assess attention, problem solving, memory, personality, and other behaviors. The BLSA is the longest running study of human aging. Its many findings have influenced medical practice, changed our view on aging, and influenced the directions of aging research.
UMDNJ-SOM is apparently one of the top 15 schools for geriatric medicine. Too bad I'm not really all that interested in geriatric medicine.

Oh, I think you'll change your mind. When you're 70 years old and looking for some doctor-on-patient action. Or maybe you'll just hang out at the local college with a wad of cash conspicuously hanging out of your pocket. Even when you're 70, expensive teenage ass is much better than a geriatric slut.
