Jason Stackhouse is a fictional character from The Southern Vampire Mysteries book series by author Charlaine Harris. Introduced in the first novel, Dead Until Dark, Jason is Sookie Stackhouse's older brother and road crew supervisor for Bon Temps, Louisiana.

Jason is known as a ladies' man and is sexually associated with many women in Bon Temps and its neighbouring communities. Initially portrayed to be callow and selfish, Jason's character changes as the series progresses and he begins to mature and become more supportive of Sookie (and her supernatural issues).

In the first book, Jason is suspected of killing a series of girls in Bon Temps. Videotapes of his sexual encounters with each girl were damning evidence against him. Jason is eventually found innocent. In later books he is implicated in other crimes, and despite his innocence these accusations continue to erode his reputation.

In Dead to the World, Jason disappears. This occurs shortly after he begins dating Crystal Norris from Hotshot, a community of werepanthers near Bon Temps. Finally, Sookie discovers that he was kidnapped by a jealous rival, who bit him repeatedly to turn him into a werepanther.

Jason is shown to greatly enjoy hunting with the werepanthers; but they don't fully accept him because he was not born a werepanther.

Relationships
In the novels, Crystal gets pregnant with Jason's baby, but she miscarries.  When she gets pregnant again, Jason happily marries her in a wedding in Hotshot. Sookie claims that Jason loves Crystal, but Crystal isn't sure that she loves Jason.

The immature twosome quickly encounter marriage troubles, such as Crystal spending the household money on shopping instead of necessities. When Jason discovers that Crystal is having an affair, he tricks Calvin Norris and Sookie into catching her in the act. After that, Crystal moves back to Hotshot and Jason is shown to be dating other women.

Jason has been friends with Hoyt Fortenberry since they were children. Since Jason became a werepanther, their relationship has been strained; and it appears to end when Jason marries Crystal.

Jason then befriends werepanther Mel Hart, with unfortunate results. Crystal ultimately dies when she is crucified outside of Merlotts, and Jason again becomes a suspect, but eventually his innocence is proven.

Like Sookie, Jason has fairy ancestry; many other characters assume it is the source of his sexual attractiveness.

Television portrayal

In True Blood, an HBO series based on the books, this character is played by Ryan Kwanten.

Season 1
In the series, Jason's reputation is tarnished when women he's been involved with, including his grandmother, are murdered. He becomes a suspect after having sex with Maudette and Dawn, both of whom are later found dead. Jason later falls in love with Amy, who is also murdered. In the first-season finale, it is revealed that all four murders were committed by Drew Marshall, clearing Jason's name.

Season 2
Jason joins the Fellowship of the Sun church and becomes popular for his physical prowess, and performance as a vampire hater. Sarah manipulates and uses Jason to escape from her abusive husband and have an affair with him. Steve orders Jason's death under the assumption that he is a spy for the vampires after they capture Sookie, but Jason beats up Gabe and escapes. Sarah shoots Jason with a paintball gun as revenge, but he saves Sookie's life by shooting Steve with a paintball gun. Jason later apologises to Godric for being kept prisoner at the church, and Eric tells him he will call it even on the condition that Jason never does V again. Jason survives a massacre and apologises to Bill for his past behaviour. He bonds with Sookie over watching Steve and Sarah's disastrous TV debate. When they arrive in Bon Temps, vandals greet them, and Jason rescues Andy and Sam from Maryann's followers with a chainsaw and a nail-gun, but Sam surrenders to Maryann to save them.

Season 3
In season three, Jason feels guilty about Eggs and wants to confess but Andy convinces him to stay quiet. Jason blackmails Andy to join the police force, becomes attracted to Crystal, and helps tip off the Hotshot residents about a drug raid. However, this leads to Crystal being kidnapped by Felton. Later, Jason kills Franklin Mott to save Tara and confesses to Sookie and Tara about Eggs.

Season 4
In the year since Sookie's disappearance, Jason has become a police officer partnering up with Andy Bellefleur. Both he and Andy attempted to locate Sookie (including setting up a website and calling local news stations) but eventually came to believe Sookie had been killed by vampires. Not wanting to be reminded of the painful memories of Sookie's house, Jason sold it to an unknown company, later determined to be actually owned by Eric Northman.

Keeping his promise to Crystal, Jason also spent the year providing the Hotshot residents with food and supplies as he promised Crystal. On one of his visits, Felton returns and traps Jason in an old freezer. He later awakens tied to a bed and is greeted by Crystal and Felton. They reveal that their intentions are to change him into a werepanther so that they can use him to breed more werepanthers with Crystal as Felton is infertile. To this end, they bite him numerous times in werepanther form, feed him Viagra, and proceed to have the women of Hotshot (including Crystal) rape him while he suffers from fever. After numerous women rape him, Becky, a 12-year-old girl, is forced to participate. To prevent this from happening, Jason convinces her to free him, and Jason quickly escapes on foot after knocking out Luther and taking the knife. Felton doggedly pursues him as a werepanther, but Jason eventually takes him by surprise kills him with a sharpened stick. Crystal appears afterwards, gleeful over Felton's death, and wishes for Jason to return to Hotshot to resume his role as a "ghost daddy." Jason vehemently refuses the offer and tells her he is done with her and Hotshot for good. Crystal lets him go under the belief that Jason will return on the full moon when he'll transform. Jason limps away, only to collapse later that night on the roadside. He is found by Hoyt Fortenberry and Jessica Hamby, who promptly revives him with her blood. As he is nursed back to health, he begins fantasizing about Jessica and, oddly, Hoyt.

Thinking he will turn into a werepanther through the upcoming full moon, Jason handcuffs himself to his bedpost to protect others. Sookie finds him and learns about the situation - she assures him that she will make the best of the situation and will not shoot Jason. When night falls, Jason flees into the woods to protect Sookie, who subsequently chases him. Jessica, who is working at Merlotte's, senses Jason in fear (since she had fed Jason her blood) and quickly finds Jason to protect him. It's eventually revealed that despite being bitten, Jason cannot turn into a werepanther because weres and shifters only get that power from being born as one. Jason, relieved, bonds with Jessica. They eventually part ways, though it's clear that feelings have developed between the two of them.

Jason is visited by Hoyt, who is clearly distressed by his relationship problems with Jessica. The next day, he looks for Sookie to tell her the good news about his non-turning but she is concerned about Eric, who has been bound by silver chains to prevent him from walking out into the sun (due to a dangerous witch spell by a newly resurrected Antonia). Realizing Jessica is in danger, Jason sprints to the mansion to rescue her. He is stopped temporarily by a guard, who he shoots (presumably non-fatally). He rushes to promptly save Jessica by throwing her back into the mansion. The spell is soon released and Jessica, indebted to Jason for saving her life, kisses him on the lips, which he returns. She apologizes and Jason places her back in bed under chains to rest and prepare for another possible spell. As per Bill's suggestion, Jason agrees to not report that Jessica killed the guard, a human. In turn, Jason would not be punished for the guard he shot "in the shoulder" outside. At night, Jessica visits Jason and tells him that she and Hoyt have broken up. Jason is angry that she would hurt his best friend and not only rejects her feelings for him but rescinds her invitation to his house.

The next day Jason gets a call from Hoyt - a possessed Lafayette has taken Arlene and Terry's baby and has threatened Hoyt with a gun. Jason responds to the call with Andy but cannot make much headway with Lafayette until Jesus comes and eventually puts the grieving mother spirit at peace. Later, Hoyt asks Jason to give Jessica a box of her belongings. Jason delivers the box - although he at first remains hesitant to get close to Jessica, they eventually make love in Jason's truck. Afterwards, Jason feels guilty knowing that it will ruin Hoyt if he finds out.  He asks Jessica to glamour him to make him forget but she refuses and leaves angrily to feed on someone else.

Jason helps Sookie's cause to rescue Tara and other humans from Moon Goddess Emporium, which Bill plans to destroy in order to end the war with Antonia. He, Sookie, Jesus, and Lafayette approach the Emporium during daylight but Jesus discovers it is protected by a spell. Jesus proves his worth to Antonia by breaking through the barrier, and warns Sookie in his mind that Marnie has now turned sympathetic towards Antonia's cause. Soon the prisoners are broken free temporarily when the spell is lifted and Tara and Holly run out to the embracing arms of Sookie and Lafayette. Jason lags behind slightly and is caught on the outside of Antonia's newly cast spell, which causes everyone else to be cast inside the shop. When Pam, Jessica, Eric, and Bill come armed to defeat Marnie, they are unable to make any progress because of the barrier. Marnie asks Eric and Bill to sacrifice themselves for Sookie's release, and while they both agree, Pam does not and launches a rocket launcher at the barrier, causing a massive explosion and injuring Jason severely. Jessica feeds him her blood again. Eventually, Marnie casts a spell to draw the vampires towards the deadly barrier, but Jason holds them back long enough before the spell is broken (when Jesus draws Antonia out of Marnie). Marnie is then killed by Bill and the prisoners are released.

Jason tells Hoyt about his relationship with Jessica, and Hoyt does not take it well as he beats Jason up. Later that night, on Halloween, Jessica visits Jason and he invites her in. They have sex, and Jessica suggest they should just stay friends as she is not ready for a relationship and Jason agrees to be friends .

Season 5
At the beginning of Season 5, Jason is visited at home by Steve Newlin, who reveals he is a recently turned vampire and is a "Proud Gay American Vampire". Jason is flattered (calling it the nicest "I love you" from anyone) but politely declines because he's not sexually attracted to Steve. Steve gets angry and attempts to bite Jason.  Jessica arrives and threatens Newlin as she is basically the Queen of Louisiana since Bill is gone (unbeknownst to her, he and Eric have been arrested by the Vampire Authority twice and Bill is no longer the monarch of Louisiana).  Jason takes back his invitation from Newlin, who leaves immediately. Jason then goes to Merlotte's to see Hoyt, who is with his other 'true friends', but is coldly turned down. Jason still has feelings for Jessica and thinks the feeling is mutual, but upon going to visit her at Bill's she denies this, explaining she was just saying that to protect Jason from Newlin. Jessica is throwing a party, and Jason attempts to make a move on her but another guy makes a move before he can. A jealous Jason takes a sorority girl to have sex, but instead he takes her home.

Jason is later visited by an old school teacher with which he had sexual relations previously. They have sex but immediately afterwards Jason begins to feel like he is being used for sex and this causes Jason to remember his past with his teacher as it really was (his teacher talked Jason into having sex with her while she was married and when he was only a student) and leaves her house in a hurry. Jason realizes that he was raped by his teacher and that his sexual desires early on are because of his teacher's influence; that all he had to offer anyone were sexual encounters that have ruined chances for a real loving relationship with anyone and starts to straighten up his life now that he has faced his past.

Later on, Sookie visits Jason and emotionally confesses that she killed Debbie and had Tara turned into a vampire. Jason recommends that she keep things to herself. The next day Andy tells him that Debbie's parents have left because they found what they were looking for. Jessica then glamours him into forgetting about the case, doing Jason a big favor. That night he, Andy, and Judge Clemens take a trip to a Fairy nightclub and there Jason meets his cousin Hadley, who believes Sookie is dead after disappearing at the end of Season 3. She firmly believes that Sookie needs to be protected from vampires, though Jason believes otherwise. She lets slip that vampires killed Jason's parents (while he had thought it was a flood) but she runs away before revealing more information. Jason pursues her but things turn violent in the club and he and Andy are thrown out. The next morning Jason has a dream about his parents that turns violent when he visualizes their violent deaths by vampire fangs. He later tells Andy that the nightclub they had visited the previous night was indeed for fairies. Jason visits his parents' graves and seems to start believing that what Hadley had said is true. He visits Sookie and asks her to accompany him to the fairy club once more. Sookie is told that vampires did in fact kill her parents, and she angrily lashes out but her powers are fading - she eventually finds out since she is half fairy her powers will drain soon. Jason visits Jessica to find comfort about what he has discovered about his parents, and bonds with Sookie. He stops Sookie from draining all her powers and convinces her to use her powers to find out who killed their parents. They return to the fairy nightclub and attempt to connect with the spiritual world to discover their parents' killer. Sookie sees a vision but cannot identify the killer.

Jason is disheartened when he finds out that Hoyt wants to forget his time in Bon Temps and particularly wants to forget his first love Jessica, and Jason. Jessica glamours Hoyt, who then leaves town to go to Alaska. Jason stops him in the police cruiser to try and prevent him from leaving Bon Temps, but he knows that Hoyt is happier this way and reluctantly lets him go. Jason and Sookie dig closer to the truth in regards to their parents' murderer, and they learn that there is a war coming between the vampires and the fairies. Jason meets Jessica, who has been commanded by a psychopathic Bill to turn Jason into a vampire. Jason shoots both guards dead before he is turned, and learns from Jessica that Russel Eddington is on the loose. He then goes to warn Sookie at the Faerie Night Club. Jason, Sookie, and the faeries develop a plan to take down Russell by Jason acting as bait to lure Russell and Steve to the night club to attack the vampires when they're distracted by the scent of their blood. The next night, Russell and Steve show up and glamour Jason into giving away the location of the fairy nightclub. When the three of them arrive, Russell and Newlin cannot find the entrance - the Fairy Elder appears and stops Steve. However, she is unable to stop Russell and accidentally hits Jason with a ball of light which throws Jason into a tree where he gets a nasty concussion. Russell then drains the Elder Faerie and is able to see the entrance to the nightclub because of her blood. Although the fairies combine forces to attempt to stop Russell, it doesn't affect him. Eric suddenly appears and stakes Russell when he's caught off guard, killing him once and for all. Jason wakes up from being knocked out and begins having hallucinations of his parents, who begin to feed on his growing anger towards vampires. When Eric, Tara, and Nora request his and Sookie's help to stop the Authority and rescue Bill, Jason agrees to come along to protect Sookie and because he believes a war is about to erupt between vampires and humans. When they infiltrate the Authority, Jason kills many of the Authority guards while Sookie and Tara rescue Pam and Jessica while Eric and Nora disable the security system. Once Jessica and Pam are rescued, they take the elevator out while Sookie and Eric confront Bill. Jessica admits feelings for Jason but he rebuffs her, saying he cannot love a vampire. In an extended scene, after Jason exits the elevator and kills another Authority guard, he announces he's coming for Warlow next. Nora, shocked at this, asks Jason what he knows about Warlow, revealing that she's also familiar with him.

Season 6
When Season 6 begins, Jason is escaping the Authority with Jessica, Pam, Tara, Nora, Eric, and Sookie in order to evade the new Bill/Lillith entity that was created at the end of Season 5. On the news, the mayor indirectly declares war on vampires, calling for a vampire curfew and numerous other measures. As the group takes refuge at a beach, Nora believes that Jason knows more about Lillith and Warlow, and glamours him into getting more information. Jason is angry at this, and threatens to shoot Nora unless she reveals what she knows about Warlow. The others see the conflict and Sookie says that Warlow was the enemy, not the entire vampire race. Jason takes this as Sookie taking the vampires' side, and he angrily storms off, leaving the party. He gets picked up by a mysterious driver, and Jason eventually begins to calm down after realizing the hallucinations of his parents are causing him to act crazy. When the driver possibly reveals himself as Warlow, Jason attempts to shoot him, but the stranger disappears and later uses light to stop the car before it crashes. The stranger then reveals himself as Jason and Sookie's fairy grandfather, Niall. Niall warns of Warlow, who he discovers has escaped, and says his powers are not to be underestimated. When Sookie returns home, Niall introduces himself and later explains over dinner that the Stackhouses are part of a royal bloodline. He trains Sookie to control her powers. Later that night, Warlow attacks and Niall tries to catch him but fails. Jason gets ready for action but inexplicably collapses. The next day, Sookie tends to him as he recovers from his "concussion", during which Sookie reveals that their parents were not in fact racist against vampires but simply afraid of Sookie's powers. Later that night, Bill visits and restrains Jason while pleading Sookie for her blood so they can synthesize it. She refuses and their relationship is officially over.

Another attack occurs later that night and Niall discovers it is Nora, tracking Warlow as well. Jason convulses again and Ben Flynn, who turns out to be half vampire in addition to being half fae, gives him his blood. He recovers quickly, much to Sookie's surprise, and Jason, high on V, does a lot of pullups and has sexual fantasies of Ben. Concerned, he sees Niall and they conclude that Jason must've been fed V to hallucinate like that. They pursue Ben at his hotel room but get caught in his trap. Ben turns out to be Warlow, who glamours Jason into forgetting the whole situation and to not feel guilty about letting his grandfather fairy get captured by Warlow. Warlow eventually casts Niall into the same prison that he himself was trapped in. Back on the job and out of the house (Sookie has plans for Warlow), Jason and Andy go to a gas station to investigate where Andy's now-teen fairy godchildren have gone, but find that the clerk has been glamoured. When Jason returns home that night, he finds Sarah Newlin waiting for him outside, where she confesses that she has loved him ever since they met at the Fellowship of the Sun. They proceed to have sex. Afterwards, a distraught Jessica arrives and is still in shambles after killing most of Andy's fairy daughters but gets distracted when Sarah comes out and calls Jessica a dead vampire whore. Sarah is upset that Jason has had sexual relations with Jessica in the past. Jessica and Sarah struggle but Sarah eventually rescinds the invitation to the house, forcing Jessica out and right into the hands of the police that Sarah had called.

The next morning, Jason leaves a message for Sookie saying that he messed up with Jessica and has been acting irresponsibly. He promises to make it up to her and everyone else. Jason then enters an army recruiting agency to join the LAVTF in order to rescue Jessica. He later shares stories with other soldiers, where he sees Sarah Newlin and privately tells her not to interfere with his plans. To torment Jason, Sarah takes him to see the fornication room, where Jessica and another vampire named James are supposed to have sex for research. Jessica is reluctant and stalls then James refuses to be a rape Jessica and she is taken away. Jason privately meets with Jessica and wants to take her away but she refuses, accepting her fate. She does ask to meet James, whom she would like to thank for being a gentleman, and Jason arranges this meeting, where James and Jessica make love. Sarah later throws Jason into Gen Pop now that the governor cannot protect him, but not before having his arm bled, making him vulnerable to the women vampires. Tara jumps to his protection. Violet claims Jason as her own as they get to know each other, and she successfully seduces him. Violet exclusively feeds on Jason in a special room and hence does not drink the tainted Trublood. When Eric, fueled by Warlow's blood, raids and kills all the guards in the compound, he finds Jason, drained of blood from Violet. Eric feeds him his blood to revive him and Eric asks Jason when he dreams about him to think nice things about him . Then Jason takes Eric to the "white room" where they discover that although Sarah has opened the hatch exposing the sun, Bill has entered the room and allowed himself to be fed on by all the vampires to give them immunity to the sun (although Steve Newlin is left to burn by Eric). Jason then realizes that Sarah is still on the loose so he chases her down and almost kills her, but eventually lets her go free because he doesn't want more blood on his hands. He and the rest of the vampire revelers celebrate at Bill's mansion, where he and Violet's relationship has intensified to the point where Violet does not allow Jason to even look at other women (like Jessica). Bill enlists Jason and Violet to ask for Andy and Adilyn's help to save Sookie from becoming Warlow's vampire/fairy wife. The group uses Adilyn's fae powers to teleport to the fairy realm where Sookie and Warlow are, where Jason shoots the chain binding Sookie and rescues her. Everyone but Bill and Warlow teleport back and they travel to Sookie's house to let Sookie rest. However, Bill and Warlow take their fight to the house, where Warlow locks Jason, Andy, and Adilyn in the cellar and knocks out Violet. Warlow finds Sookie in the bathroom and is about to take Sookie away when Niall returns from the dark realm and pins Warlow—Jason, who has escaped thanks to Adilyn, then stakes Warlow.

Six months pass, and Hep V has mutated and transformed vampires into zombie-like creatures that run rabid at night. Jason and Violet have had a sexually active life but he has not had sex with her; Violet reminds him that she said she was going to make it hard for him. During a joint church session, newly elected mayor Sam announces that he and Bill have come up with a plan: to have all humans join in a monogamous relationship with a vampire in exchange for protection against Hep V mutated vampires, which is met with mixed reactions. Later, at the newly renamed Bellefleur's Bar & Grill, there is a party where all of Bon Temps enjoy food and drinks. Unbeknownst to them, a group of Hep V mutants are approaching the party.

Season 7

Episode 1: "Jesus Gonna Be Here"
Season 7 begins with a violent attack at Bellefleur's. Arlene, Holly, and various other people are taken. Jason himself is almost killed but Violet saves him. In the grisly aftermath, Jason calls Andy to request assistance. Everybody is upset but before things get too hectic, Bill suggests finding the H-Vamps before they get to them, who will most likely be sleeping in windowless rooms. Andy tells Jason to search Old Reeve's Place. Along the way, Jason asks Violet how many people she's seen die, and she says she's lost count. At the house, they find Vince, an anti-vampire politician and vigilante who plans to succeed Sam as mayor, leading a gang of anti-vampire haters. Jason says they are acting irrationally, but Violet escalates things when she threatens to kill them. When the group disbands, Jason is unhappy with the way the situation was handled. Afterwards, Jason is angry at Violet for what happened, and they proceed to have sex.

Episode 2: "I Found You"
The next day at the church, Jason falls asleep and proceeds to have a sexual fantasy with Eric (due to taking Eric's blood in the previous season). When Eric asks him if he's happy being in a relationship with Violet, Jason hesistates and then lies that he's happy with it, indicating he's unhappy with their relationship. Jason is later jolted awake when a congregation outside church is meeting. Sam suggests that people keep busy and be indoors by sundown, only going out at night with a vampire. To find the kidnapped civilians, Sookie suggests searching a dead body she had seen earlier. The girl is from Saint Allis, so she, Jason, Alcide, Sam, and Andy travel to the nearby town only to discover the entire town is abandoned and full of dead bodies. When they find the girl's house, Jason gathers that it's been a few days since the attack and that the vampires keep coming back. After discovering no significant leads, they return to Bon Temps.

Episode 3: "Fire in the Hole"
Jason discusses a future with Violet and proposes the idea of children. Violet laughs and says he has softened up, but Jason assures her he's still a warrior but also a modern man. Andy arrives and tells them about Vince's posse. Adilyn thinks they might be after Sookie. There is a tense moment between Violet and Jessica before they set out to find Sookie. Jason leaves another message for Sookie on her cell phone, which had been tossed away earlier. The group encounters Vince's posse. Maxine Fortenberry, who is in the group, wants to deal with Jason and Jessica personally. She shoots Jessica in the shoulder, which leads to Violet ripping her heart out. Jason realizes Jessica is not healing and not even Jessica knows why. The group later ambushes a group of Hep-V vampires attacking Sookie, who was being used as bait, and successfully kills the infected vampires. Alcide is shot and killed in the fight.

Episode 4: "Death Is Not the End"
The next day, Jason must be the bearer of bad news as he calls Hoyt and tells him his mother was killed. He is heartbroken because Hoyt had been glamoured and does not remember their friendship, and refers to Jason simply as officer. He and Sam also visit Rosie and tell her that Sheriff Deputy Kevin Ellis has died. Later, Jason, Sam, and Sookie visit Andy's house to ask Holly what happened to the rest of the prisoners. Sookie finds out that they are being held in Fangtasia. In a tense scene in the car, Sam wants to ambush Fangtasia head on but Jason threatens him with a gun and orders him to turn around. Sam reluctantly agrees. A crew is assembled to assault Fangtasia, which includes Sookie, Bill, Jason, Eric, Pam, Jessica, Violet, and 2 others. Sookie and Eric create a diversion in the front while the rest of them sneak in, but before much can be done, Vince's posse attacks with Molotov cocktails. In the chaos, Arlene, who had been violently fed on by the Hep-V vampires at Fangtasia, almost dies but is saved by vampire blood from Keith.

Episode 5: "Lost Cause"
The next night, Jason and Violet attend a party at Sookie's house that Lafayette and Alcide's father throws in order to cheer Sookie up. At one point in the night, Jessica runs up to Jason and begs her to dis-invite her boyfriend James because he found him cheating on her with Lafayette in their car. Jason immediately rescinds the invitation. He consoles a distraught Jessica and lets her know that her girlfriend Violet is not perfect and is rather off. The two share a kiss and end up having sex, which Violet hears from the hallway. Jason returns to Violet's home later that night, where Violet has a romantic evening in store for Jason in order to win his affections back. The next morning, after a steamy night, Jason gets a call from Jessica, who asks that he bring Sookie over to the Compton estate because she has news for Sookie that she must tell in person. Jason sneaks out to see Sookie. Violet, who presumably heard Jason's conversation with Jessica, seethes with anger and plots revenge. At the Stackhouse residence, Jason wakes Sookie up and insists that she go talk to Jessica in person. When they finally meet Jessica at the Compton estate, she breaks the news that Bill is Hep-V positive. Sookie and Jason don't believe it, but Sookie remembers that she had been exposed to Hep-V blood in the bloody aftermath of the shooting that left Alcide dead. Because she had an open wound from letting Bill feed on her, she thinks she may be infected. She get tested and later finds out that she is indeed positive. Jason tries to comfort her.

Episode 6: "Karma"
He later returns to Violet's but finds that the basement is ransacked. Violet has left a note stating that the relationship is not working. Jason is relieved.

Episode 7:  "May Be the Last Time"
As he cleans his house the next morning, he gets a call from Arlene at Bellefleur's. She says that Hoyt is back in town to visit his dead mother. He goes over to the restaurant and is immediately struck by how beautiful Hoyt's new girlfriend Bridget is. He tries to stop looking at her, but he can't help himself as he is invited to eat breakfast with them. Later, at the police station, Hoyt grieves over his mother's body and Bridget quietly asks Jason (who somewhat knew his mother) to comfort Hoyt in his time of need. Jason says some kinds words and Hoyt embraces him while Bridget also joins the hug. Jason looks uncomfortable.

Episode 8: "Almost Home"
Later that night, Jason, Hoyt, and Bridget look through Hoyt's photo album. When Bridget casually brings up kids, Hoyt becomes upset that Bridget would think about children when he is grieving for his mother. Bridget apologizes but is interrupted by Jason, who has received multiple picture messages of Adilyn, Wade, and Jessica from Violet, who has them all tied up and gagged. Jason quickly leaves but not without Bridget, who is growing frustrated at Hoyt for not listening to what she has to suggest. Jason tries to convince her to stay and Hoyt apologizes, but Bridget refuses to not come along. Jason reluctantly takes her to Violet's house. At the house, he gives a gun to Bridget to protect herself while he goes inside to investigate. Only minutes after he steps inside the house, he is abducted by an angry Violet, who puts him in a room where Wade, Adilyn, and Jessica are being held prisoners. Violet threatens to torture all of them before she breaks down and confesses that she only wanted Jason to love her completely. Before she can finish, she is shot by Hoyt and meets the true death. Hoyt frees everybody and makes up with Bridget, who is following close behind. Jessica is surprised to see Hoyt and they rekindle some of their old romance. Bridget talks to Jason afterwards, who appears quite sad. She asks him if Jessica is his girlfriend, to which he says he doesn't really know what to call her. Jason drives Jessica home that night, where Jessica shares that her relationship with Jason has been one of the only things in her life recently that hasn't been confusing, and that he has always been there for her. Jason confesses that he loves spending time with Jessica but he feels that they are in a bubble when they are together. He doesn't know what to call that. Jessica calls it a beautiful friendship, before giving him a kiss and heading off.

Episode 9: "Love Is to Die"
The next morning, Jason has breakfast at Bellefleur's and is joined by Hoyt, who says that while he should have been thinking about his mother or Bridget last night, he can't stop thinking about Jessica. Jason and Arlene are both concerned. That night, Jason gets a call from a distressed Bridget, who has just broken up with Hoyt after Jessica comes over and reveals that she and Hoyt used to be lovers. Jason rushes to Hoyt's house to find Hoyt and Jessica talking. Jason tries to reason with Hoyt about what Jessica might have told him, but Hoyt swiftly knocks Jason out. Jason awakens inside his car, where Bridget is driving to the hospital so Jason can get his head treated after suffering a concussion. He laughs and says he has dealt with worse concussions before. He offers to go back to his place, but warns her that he and Bridget will not have sex tonight. Bridget laughs and says that won't happen, especially after she just broke up with Hoyt. Later, Bridget tries to book an airline ticket back to Anchorage for the next day, but is unable to convince the airline attendant at Delta. Jason takes the call and quickly convinces her to book the flight for Bridget, which impresses her. He then bids Bridget good night, and tries not to think about having sex with her. A few hours pass and Bridget cannot sleep because her head is spinning and she is hungry. Jason offers beer and he finally reveals the situation between Jessica and Hoyt, confirming that they used to be lovers and Hoyt had been glamoured so he did not remember Jessica but she remembered him. Jason calls himself a bad person for interfering in the relationship but Bridget constantly assures him that he is a sweet and caring person who is more than just a good looking person. Instead of having sex, they simply lie next to each other in bed and proceed to bond over their personal lives.

Episode 10: "Thank You"
The next morning, Jason is awaken by Sookie, who tells him that Bill wants Sookie to give him the True Death. Jason confesses that he has little advice to give regarding the situation. Later, he receives a call from Hoyt, who asks him to be his best man (he and Jessica have decided to get married). After getting dressed and picking some flowers, Jason and Sookie head over to Bill's house for the wedding. Jason and Hoyt bond over their childhood and reconcile their differences. Jason is glad to have Hoyt back in his life. The wedding goes as planned. Afterwards, Jason asks Sookie what is on her mind, and Sookie reveals that she can now read Bill's mind, which makes no sense to either of them. Sookie also tells him that she approves of Bridget and that he shouldn't have to worry about having sex with her now that Hoyt is married. Jason insists that he won't and sends Bridget to the airport.

Almost 4 years later, after Sookie agreed to stake Bill, leaving her heartbroken, New Blood has been released to the market and the Hep-V epidemic is ended. Jason and Bridget are married with many kids. The last scene shows family and friends of Sookie and Jason enjoying dinner at the Stackhouses.

Content
Fourth album release from KAT-TUN including the songs "Don't U Ever Stop," "White X'mas (album version)," "One Drop," "Rescue," and more for 15 songs total. Regular edition includes one bonus track "Moon". Limited Edition includes special booklet.  Features alternate jacket artwork. Adam Greenburg on Allmusic gave the album three out of five stars, stating that "this [album] probably isn't the best KAT-TUN album by any measure, but it shows a lot of incremental gains in ability and composition over previous efforts. The rawest energy and emotion captured by the band in some other releases may not always be present, but on Break the Records KAT-TUN nevertheless take a lot of steps in the right direction toward being a more mature band."

Franz Hillenkamp (March 18, 1936 – August 22, 2014) was a German scientist known for his development of the laser microprobe mass analyzer and, with Michael Karas, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI).

Early life and education
Franz Hillenkamp was born in 1936 in Essen, Germany. He attended high school in Lünen, graduating in 1955. He received a M.S. degree in electrical engineering from Purdue University in 1961. He received a Ph.D. (Dr.-Ing.) from the Technische Universität München in 1966 with a thesis entitled “An Absolutely Calibrated Calorimeter for the Measurement of Pulsed Laser Radiation.”

Academic career
Hillenkamp was a professor at Goethe University Frankfurt in Frankfurt from 1982 to 1986. In 1986, he became a professor on the Medical Faculty of the University of Münster where he remained until his retirement in 2001.

Laser microprobe
In 1973, Hillenkamp developed a high performance laser microprobe mass spectrometer with a spatial resolution of 0.5 µm and sub-attogram limit of detection for lithium atoms. This instrument was commercialized as the LAMMA 500 and was one of the first laser desorption mass spectrometers to be used for mass spectrometry imaging of tissue. The later LAMMA 1000 was also based on a Hillenkamp design.

MALDI
In 1985, Hillenkamp and his colleague Michael Karas used a LAMMA 1000 mass spectrometer to demonstrate the technique of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI). MALDI is an ionization method used in mass spectrometry, allowing the analysis of large biopolymers. Although Karas and Hillenkamp were the first to discover MALDI, Japanese engineer Koichi Tanaka was the first to use a similar method in 1988 to ionize proteins and shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2002 for that work. Karas and Hillenkamp reported MALDI of proteins a few months later. The MALDI method of Karas and Hillenkamp subsequently became the much more widely used method.

Awards
In 1997, Hillenkamp and Karas were awarded the American Society for Mass Spectrometry Distinguished Contribution in Mass Spectrometry award for their discovery of MALDI. Hillenkamp and Karas received the Karl Heinz Beckurts Award, Germany's most important award for outstanding promotion of the partnership between science and industry, in 2003. Hillenkamp received the Thomson Medal from the International Mass Spectrometry Foundation in 2003.

Bertil Bäckvall (22 February 1923 – 28 October 2012) was a Swedish footballer and manager. He mostly represented Hammarby IF and AIK, and won two caps for the Sweden national team.

Playing career

Hammarby IF
Born and raised in Stockholm, Bäckvall started to play football with local club Sandsborgs IF as a youngster. In 1939, he made his debut for Hammarby IF in Allsvenskan, Sweden's first tier. Bäckvall played four league games throughout the season, as Hammarby suffered a relegation, and scored a brace in a 7–1 home win against Gårda BK on 2 June 1940, making him one of the youngest ever goalscorers in Allsvenskan, at age 17.

Back in Division 2, the Swedish second tier, Hammarby IF finished in the top four for the next six years. Bäckvall established himself as one of his side's offensive key players, together with Holger Nurmela and Kurt Kjellström. He had his major breakthrough in 1942, playing 18 games and scoring eight goals, as his side placed second behind IK Brage on goal difference, barely missing out on the play-off spot.

In 1943, Bäckvall spent a few seasons with rival club AIK, but the transfer ultimately fell through. Bäckvall made his debut for the Sweden national team on 26 August 1945, whilst still playing in the domestic second division, in a 7–2 friendly win against Finland national football team.

He left Hammarby in the summer of 1946, being replaced as a left winger by the future club legend Lennart Skoglund, who would become one of the most renowned Swedish players.

AIK
In 1946, Bäckvall completed a transfer to AIK in Allsvenskan. He made his competitive debut for the club on 8 September the same year, in a 2–1 home win against Degerfors IF. He became a frequent starter, getting known for his pace and fine scoring efficiency. Other key players in this era included Börje Leander, Sune Andersson and Henry Carlsson.

AIK finished in the top four for the next four Allsvenskan seasons, but failed to win the Swedish championship title. Although, he won Svenska Cupen, the biggest domestic cup, in both 1949 and 1950 with the club. On 13 May 1949, Bäckvall won his second and final cap for Sweden, in an impressive 3–1 win against England.

In 1950–51, the club suffered a relegation from the top division for the first time in its history, but Bäckvall decided to stay with AIK and won an immediate promotion the next season.

He decided to retire from top-level football in 1953, after seven full seasons with the club, due to an injured achilles tendon. In total, Bäckvall played 133 league games for AIK and scored 40 goals.

Managerial career
In 1954, Bäckvall became the player-coach of local Stockholm club Hagalunds IS in the lower divisions, where he stayed for one season. He later worked as a coach in AIK's youth organisation.

Bäckvall was recruited by Östers IF in 1958. He was a player-coach during his first two seasons in charge, making a comeback to the pitch after three years, before working as a full time manager. During his tenure, the club was promoted from the third level Division 3 to the second level Division 2. He is credited with implementing a sense of work ethic and professionalism in the club, but left in 1963.

He later worked as a coach for Kalmar FF and IK Brage in Division 2.

Yao Xia (Simplified Chinese: 姚夏; Pinyin: Yáo Xià) (born 28 January 1974) is a Chinese football coach and a former international footballer who played as an attacking midfielder or striker.

As a youngster he would make a name for himself with Sichuan Quanxing where due to his speed he was nicknamed Cheetah ("猎豹") by the fans. After leaving the club he moved to Qingdao Etsong before settling  within another Sichuan province football team with Chengdu Blades where he stayed for several seasons until he retired from playing.

Biography

Club
Yao Xia started his football career at Sichuan Quanxing and was part of the team that saw the club become a professional unit at the beginning of the 1994 Chinese football league season. He would rise to prominence at the end of the 1995 football league season when he played a large part in the fight against relegation for Sichuan Quanxing who survived on goal difference. From then on Yao was part of Sichuan's most successful team which came third in the 1999 top tier division, which also saw him score 11 goals and saw him personally some third within the goal scoring charts. The following season saw Sichuan once again finish third within the 2000 league season, however by 2002 Sichuan went through a disruptive ownership dispute and Yao Xia decided to leave at the end of the league campaign.

Surprisingly Yao Xia moved to Qingdao Etsong at the beginning of the 2003 football league season, a team he helped relegate in the 1995 league season. His time at Qingdao was fairly disappointing, despite playing a large part within the team Qingdao were constantly flirting with relegating and Yao was eventually loaned out to second tier football club Chengdu Wuniu. The move back to a Sichuan province football club seemed to be a personally fairly successful transfer and by the following season he would make his move permanent while the club renamed themselves Chengdu Blades. After several seasons of improving results Yao would be a vital part of the squad that won promotion to the top tier when the club came runners-up in the 2007 league campaign. Despite his advancing age Yao would still remain a constant regular within the team and his experience would help guide Chengdu to become a regular mid-table club  until the end of the 2009 league season saw the club relegated when it was discovered that Chengdu Blades fixed several games during their promotion campaign and were relegated to the second tier at the beginning of the 2010 league season, nevertheless Yao decided to stay loyal and remained with the club.

Since his retirement in October 2010, his shirt number of 18 has been retired in honour of his contribution to Sichuan football by Chengdu Blades. Yao Xia's time at Chengdu Blades would further continue when he took the team leader and deputy general manager position soon afterwards before coming in as the club's caretaker manager on December 7, 2012 where he took over the club's training during the off season. On September 16, 2013 Yao was asked to once again take on the management position when the club fired Patrick Aussems after a string of results saw the club in the relegation zone, his appointment saw the club immediately win two games in a row against Yanbian Baekdu Tigers F.C. and BIT F.C.

Yao made his comeback in July 2014 after Korean manager Lee Jang-Soo took charge Chengdu Tiancheng who struggled in the bottom of the league.

International
Yao Xia would make his international debut against Mexico in a 3-0 loss in a friendly game on the third of November 1993. Once Yao Xia became a regular at Sichuan he would also quickly establish himself as a regular for the national team as well and play a major part in China's unsuccessful 1998 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign. He would have more success when he was able to help China qualify for the 2000 AFC Asian Cup, however while playing a major part in qualification he was left out of the squad to actually go to the tournament. He would play his last game against Yugoslavia on March 25, 2000 in a 1-0 friendly loss.

The men's 200 metres at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics was held at the Olympic Stadium, Berlin, Germany on August 18 and August 20.

The race favourites were Tyson Gay and Usain Bolt. Gay entered the competition as the reigning world champion, championship record holder, and 200 m world leader with 19.58 seconds. Bolt, the current Olympic champion and world record holder, had a season's best of 19.59 seconds. The last time the two athletes raced was at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, where Gay beat Bolt by a margin of 0.15 seconds. Osaka bronze medallist Wallace Spearmon was the only other athlete to run under twenty seconds that season and former Olympic champion Shawn Crawford was also competing. Up-and-coming athletes Alonso Edward, Steve Mullings and Ramil Guliyev were among the season's fastest sprinters prior to the championships.

After hurting his groin during his American record run in the 100 metres two days earlier, Gay withdrew from the race, effectively rescinding his second world title. The withdrawal of Dwain Chambers, Churandy Martina and Jaysuma Saidy Ndure also reduced the quality of the field.
There were no surprise eliminations in the heats, where Crawford, Mullings, Robert Hering, and Martial Mbandjock were the fastest qualifiers, and Mullings had the fastest time of the quarter-finals round, with all the favourite athletes progressing. On the second day of competition, German number one Hering was eliminated. Bolt and Spearmon were the two semi-final winners, while the third-fastest, 19-year-old Alonso Edward, demonstrated medal winning form.

In the final race, Usain Bolt, the clear favourite, had another world record-breaking run following his 9.58 second record in the 100 metres four days earlier. After having the fastest reaction time of the race, Bolt came out of the bend in first place and extended his lead further in the home straight, beating his previous mark of 19.30 seconds set at the Olympics by 0.11 seconds to take the gold medal and Championship record. Crawford, second fastest at the bend, was overtaken by Edward and Spearmon and eventually finished fourth. Edward vastly improved his previous best to set a South American record of 19.81, while Spearmon was third with 19.85 seconds. At 19 years, 255 days old, silver medallist Edward became the youngest ever world medallist for the men's 200 m.

Although the race between Gay and Bolt had not materialised, Bolt's world record of 19.19 seconds was a highlight of the championships. The overall quality of the event was also high: Edward had improved from 20.62 to 19.81 seconds over the course of one year. Also, with Crawford running 19.89 seconds, it was the first ever 200 m race to see four athletes run under 19.9 seconds. Bolt's winning margin of 0.62 seconds over second-placed Edward was the biggest in World Championship history. He received a $100,000 bonus for his performance, which was 0.13 seconds faster than Michael Johnson's former world record, a mark that had been regarded as one of the best records in the history of athletics.

The Metropolitan-Suburban Province was a three-member electoral province of the Western Australian Legislative Council, located in the metropolitan region of Perth. It was created by the Constitution Acts Amendment Act 1899, and became effective on 29 August 1900 following a special election to fill all three seats. Historically taking in many coastal and riverside areas in the western suburbs of Perth, it was considered safe for the Nationalist Party for most of its existence.

At the 1950 elections, it was renamed Suburban Province, losing Claremont and Subiaco and moving inland. In 1963–1964, electoral changes to the Legislative Council, which abolished the 10 three-member seats and created 15 two-member seats in their place, resulted in the seat's abolishment, with its area being divided between North-East Metropolitan Province and South-East Metropolitan Province.

Geography
The province was made up of several complete Legislative Assembly districts, which changed at each distribution. It had a more restrictive franchise than the Legislative Assembly, however, so not all voters in the corresponding Assembly districts were eligible to vote in the Council.

Lydia Echevarría (born October 14, 1931 in Caguas, Puerto Rico) is a Puerto Rican actress who was convicted of plotting the murder of her husband, Puerto Rican television show producer, Luis Vigoreaux.

Early years

Echevarría met producer Luis Vigoreaux in 1960 during the presentation of a show called "La Hora Cero" (Zero Hour), which Vigoreaux produced with actor Mario Pabón. On February 10, 1960, after they were married, Echevarría joined her husband as co-host in the 1960s and 70s in the television shows Pa'rriba Papi Pa'rriba and Sube Nene Sube transmitted through WAPA-TV. Vigoreaux and Echevarría had two daughters, Vanessa and Glendaly Vigoreaux.

Films
Among the films and Novelas (soap operas) in which Echevarría has participated are the following:

Doña Ana (film) - as Dona Ana  (2003)
Life During Wartime (film) -  as Evangelina  (2009)
Novelas
Vivir para tí (TV series) - as Clara (1982)
Yo sé que mentía (TV series) - (1982)

Conviction
In 1982, Luis Vigoreaux allegedly began an affair with model Nydia Castillo, and in 1983, he was found burnt to death inside his car. Almost immediately, a large part of the public started pointing fingers at different people, and in 1984, Echevarría was formally accused of her husband's death. Her trial was one of the most sensational in Puerto Rican history, with a media circus atmosphere because of the celebrity status of the couple.

In 1986, she was found guilty and sentenced to 208 years in a women's prison in Vega Alta, Puerto Rico. However, her health deteriorated and in 1999, Governor Pedro Rosselló allowed her to leave jail to live at home under a curfew. In 2001, she resumed her acting career with the presentation of a play titled  (meaning, women prisoners) in the same prison where she served her time. Since then she has appeared in plays and some TV shows, on the condition that she be home by 8 p.m. every night. Glendaly Vigoreaux, the couple's eldest daughter, died by suicide in her Arizona residence on July 15, 2008, however, her lawyer, Fátima Seda Barletta, stated that she may have been murdered and that the investigation was incomplete.

Equanimal was a Spanish non-profit animal rights organization, formed as a merger, in 2006, of the organisations Alternativa para la Liberación Animal ("Alternative for Animal Liberation"; founded in 1986) and Derechos para los Animales ("Rights for Animals"; founded in 2002). In 2012, it merged with the International animal rights organization Animal Equality.

History
Equanimal focuses on ending animal exploitation, such as animal testing, fur farms and the use of fur as clothing, the abandonment of animals, circuses that use animals and zoos, hunting and fishing, and bullfighting.

The methods they use are mainly awareness through media campaigns, protest acts in public places, such as embassies, demonstrations and sometimes open rescues.

Since 2007, they are involved in the sabotage of the Copa Nacional de Caza del Zorro ("National Fox Hunt Cup"), held every year in Galicia, in which they pursue the hunters making noise with megaphones to scare foxes and thereby prevent them from being killed. They also pursue actions that have had the most impact such as entering the ring at the end of a bullfight, and protesting with banners in the Cibeles catwalk during a parade.

Occasionally they have worked with similar organizations in situations such as protests against seal hunting in Canada. Equanimal became a part of the International farmed animal organization Animal Equality in 2012.

Genetic admixture occurs when previously diverged or isolated genetic lineages mix. Admixture results in the introduction of new genetic lineages into a population.

Examples
Climatic cycles facilitate genetic admixture in cold periods and genetic diversification in warm periods.
Natural flooding can cause genetic admixture within populations of migrating fish species.
Genetic admixture may have an important role for the success of populations that colonise a new area and interbreed with individuals of native populations.

Mapping
Admixture mapping is a method of gene mapping that uses a population of mixed ancestry (an admixed population) to find the genetic loci that contribute to differences in diseases or other phenotypes found between the different ancestral populations. The method is best applied to populations with recent admixture from two populations that were previously genetically isolated. The method attempts to correlate the degree of ancestry near a genetic locus with the phenotype or disease of interest. Genetic markers that differ in frequency between the ancestral populations are needed across the genome.

Admixture mapping is based on the assumption that differences in disease rates or phenotypes are due in part to differences in the frequencies of disease-causing or phenotype-causing genetic variants between populations. In an admixed population, these causal variants occur more frequently on chromosomal segments inherited from one or another ancestral population. The first admixture scans were published in 2005 and since then genetic contributors to a variety of disease and trait differences have been mapped. By 2010, high-density mapping panels had been constructed for African Americans, Latino/Hispanics, and Uyghurs.

Salary inversion refers to situations in which the starting salaries for new recruits to an organization increase faster than those for existing employees, and consequently junior employees out-earn their senior colleagues. It typically happens in areas where the demand for suitably qualified professionals exceeds the supply of such professionals in the market. For example, the information technology (IT) industry in recent years has experienced this phenomenon. Salary inversion is also common amongst university faculty in certain fields in which the global demand for qualified academics is increasing rapidly. Here, salary inversion occurs when universities lack the resources to raise existing professors' salaries while continuing to hire new faculty, and may legally constitute a form age discrimination.

Kasetsart Football Club (Thai: สโมสรฟุตบอลมหาวิทยาลัยเกษตรศาสตร์) is a Thailand football club under the stewardship of Kasetsart University based in Bangkok. They played in Thai League 2.

History
Kasetsart won the Khǒr Royal Cup (ถ้วย ข.) in the 2008 season and gained promotion to the third level. They achieved a 7th-place finish in their first season in the 2009 Thai Division 2 League Bangkok & field Region league. The following season, the club finished 11th in the expanded 13-team 2010 Thai Division 2 League Bangkok & field Region.

In the 2010 Thai League Cup qualifying round, Kasetsart were penalized with a 2–0 loss after they walked off the pitch during the middle of a game with Nonthaburi F.C. The decision to walk off proved costly as a victory over their opponents would have set up a first-round tie with Bangkok Glass.

Big things were expected for the 2011 season with a vastly improved budget and several signings from the Thai Division 1 League. Kasetsart won the Bangkok Division 2 league title but their playoff campaign ended disastrously both on and off the field. The side finished bottom of Group A, collecting five points while their home stadium was unusable due to the 2011 Thai floods. Because of the damage caused to their stadium by the flooding, Kasetasrt had to relocate to their Kampaeng Saen campus in Nakhon Pathom for the 2012 season. Yet again the season ended in disappointment as the Emerald Nagas were pipped for a playoff spot on the last day of the season.

Genie Workbench is a suite of film and television production software that assist filmmakers in various production tasks. Genie Workbench is the result of the collaboration between the Business Process Management Group (BPM Group) of Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and the Centre for Screen Business (CSB) of  The Australia Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS). Genie Workbench is released as an Open Source software under the BSD License and hosted on Google Code.

History
In 2005, the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation (CCI) invited QUT and AFTRS into one of CCi's research track "Enterprise Formation and Sustainability" under the project title "Business Process Management". The objective of this research track is to "Bring BPM to the Creative Industries".

In 2007, the research team embarked on the YAWL4Film initiative. Inspired by Yet Another Workflow Language (YAWL), YAWL4Film explores the creation of tangible software artifacts that aim to automate many film production imperatives. The first prototype of YAWL4Film focusing on production life cycle was based directly on YAWL Process Model and was successfully tested on two AFTRS student projects.

In May 2008, a revised prototype focusing on call sheet generation of YAWL4Film was successfully pilot run on a full feature film. Having this initial success, the YAWL4Film team started designing and working on Genie Workbench. The team took a role-based approach to design and developed Genie Workbench based on the roles held by key-appointment holders in a production setting (i.e. assistant directors). The result is set of software modules specifically developed for different roles.

The first version of Genie Workbench was launched on 27 March 2009. This phase consists of three software modules, namely: Genie Schedule, Genie Cast and Genie Crew. All three software modules are free to install and use, using Java Web Start. Each module runs as a software application on the desktop (supporting both Mac OS and Microsoft Windows). On 25 May 2009, v0.1.2 of the Genie Workbench was launched. The software is now aligned with Mac OS and Microsoft Windows (supporting .dmg and .exe setup files). Support for Java Web Start is available for users who have downloaded v0.1 but is not prevalent.

Software modules

Genie Schedule

Genie Schedule is a film production scheduler. It provides a drag-n-drop interface on both stripboard and calendar view. Schedules can be created in PDF format and printed out. It is intended for producers and assistant directors who performs production scheduling. The Genie Schedule icon is inspired by the scene strips on a stripboard.

Genie Cast

Genie Cast is an artist contact management software. It supports the shortlisting and casting process based on the character list, and is intended for casting directors and managers. The Genie Cast icon is inspired by inverting the shape of a mask to form a triangle.

Genie Crew

Genie Crew is a production crew contact management software intended for producers and production managers. The Genie Crew icon is inspired by the shape of a camera lens.

Arabis macdonaldiana is a species of flowering plant in the mustard family known by the common name MacDonald's rockcress. It is native to northern California and Oregon, where it grows on newly exposed, barren serpentine soils in openings in temperate coniferous forest habitat. It is a rare and endangered plant known from several sites in California and approximately two occurrences in Oregon, where it is threatened mainly by mining, particularly of nickel, which is one of several metals plentiful in the serpentine. On September 29, 1978, this was the second plant to be federally listed as an endangered species.

Description
This is a perennial herb growing one or more slender stems from a small, branching caudex, reaching 10 to 30 centimeters tall. There is a basal patch of leaves with edges lined in small, widely spaced teeth which are sometimes tipped with spines. The leaves may lack teeth and have wavy margins. There may also be a few smaller leaves along the stem. The top of the stem forms an inflorescence of a few flowers, each with four bright rose-purple petals. The fruit is a flat, straight silique about 3 centimeters long which contains several oblong little seeds.

is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Fumi Yoshinaga, her debut work. Originally serialized in Hanaoto magazine, the individual chapters were collected and published in two tankōbon volumes by Houbunsha in March 1996 and February 2000, respectively. It follows the romantic relationships of high school teacher Ida, his lover, a student named Kobayashi who develops a crush on Ida and is rejected, and the fellow student whom Kobayashi comes to love afterwards.

The series is licensed and published in English in North America by Digital Manga Publishing. It was nominated as one of the Young Adult Library Services Association 2008 Great Graphic Novels.

Plot
High school student Kobayashi goes to the home of his history teacher, Ida, to confess that he is in love with him. When he arrives, he overhears Ida arguing with his lover Hashizume. A talented chef, Hashizume is planning to move to Kyoto to work at a famous restaurant and wants Ida to come with him. Ida, however, cannot transfer out of the city and would have to quit teaching to go. He debates doing it as he would lose his job anyway if someone found out he was gay, but eventually decides not to as teaching is his life dream. Kobayashi begins visiting Ida regularly and cooking meals for him. Eventually he kisses Ida and asks him to date him, but before Ida can reply Hashizume arrives. He quit the Kyoto job and found one instead there in Tokyo, and asks Ida to live with him. Heartbroken, Kobayashi runs off. Eventually he gets over the rejection and remains friends with Ida, visiting him at school and acting as his confidant about his relationship with Hashizume.

Hashizume and Ida begin searching for a place to live together, but no one wants to rent an apartment to two unrelated men, saying they would be messy and less reliable for payments and renewing. Kobayashi wonders if it's an excuse to avoid renting to a gay couple. Ida suggests one of them adopt the other, which would be the equivalent of gay marriage. This would also allow them to say that they are brothers for the purposes of renting. Hashizume initially rejects the idea, causing Ida to think he does not love him. They have an argument in which Ida accuses Hashizume of having never said "I love you" and Hashizume ends up slapping Ida and running off. Crying alone, Ida remembers how they first became a couple and that Hashizume said the words the first time they kissed. Hashizume returns, bringing the adoption forms as well as an old marriage registry showing he had wanted the same thing for a long time.

Kobayashi's English tutor and friend Naru gets hurt in an accident, so she arranges for her older brother to take her place in exchange for Kobayashi making him lunches. Their initial sessions are very antagonistic, with Toyo complaining about Kobayashi's lack of English skills, and Kobayashi complaining about Toyo's pickiness about food. Eventually they become friendlier, but then Naru confesses her feelings to Kobayashi, though she knows he is gay. He gently rejects her, and despite Kobayashi's worries, Toyo does not get mad at him. Their friendship continues deepening, and Toyo realizes that Kobayashi is always watching him. After confirming with Naru that Kobayashi is gay, Toyo confronts him and Kobayashi confirms that he is in love with him. Due to an incident in his past, Toyo initially rejects his feelings, but one night during a storm Kobayashi is hurt protecting Toyo and they go back to Kobayashi's house to treat the wound. Toyo tells him about a man he was in love with, but rejected publicly out of fear of his friend's reactions and because the man was moving away. Toyo finally accepts Kobayashi's feelings. They initially keep their relationship secret from Naru, afraid of hurting her, but she quickly realizes what is going on. She yells at Kobayashi for lying because they are supposed to be friends, then tells him she is okay with their relationship. After they part ways, she walks along crying and runs into Ida, who comforts her.

A year later, Hashizume's boss aids him in opening his own restaurant, which he names "Ida." Kobayashi is accepted into the same college that Toyo is attending, and Toyo has passed the government test to work in the Ministry of Finance. Naru is continuing to get past her rejection. As more time passes, Hashizume's restaurant grows popular and he hires a single female assistant, Kaori. Ida grows uneasy about his being close to a beautiful woman until Hashizume points out that they are both gay, so why should he care. To ease Ida's mind further, he tells Kaori about him, which does not bother her at all. Two years after Toyo begins working at the Ministry of Finance, Kobayashi is now teaching world history at his old high school alongside Ida. After his supervisor asks him about his box lunches, Toyo demands Kobayashi stop making them out of fear someone will find out that he is gay. Work becomes so busy Toyo does not have time to call Kobayashi for forty days. When he finally has a free day coming up, he confesses to his supervisor that his "girlfriend" is a "boyfriend", then goes to Kobayashi. After they make love, he tells Kobayashi he may quit. Kobayashi tells him he told his students on the first day that he was gay, and says that they cannot fire him from a public job just because he is homosexual. The next working day, Toyo asks his supervisor to "gracefully and tactfully" let people know he is gay. At the end of the series, Ida and Hashizume go to visit Ida's parents to "come out" to them. Kobayashi has already told his parents, and Naru promises to be Toyo's supporter when he's ready.

Publication
Originally serialized in Hanaoto magazine, the individual chapters were collected and published in two tankōbon volumes by Houbunsha in March 1996 and February 2000, respectively. Digital Manga Publishing licensed the series for English language release in North America and released the two volumes on March 14, 2007 and July 4, 2007, respectively. The manga is licensed in Taiwan by Sharp Point Press.

Reception
The Moon and the Sandals was nominated by the Young Adult Library Services Association for inclusion on its list of 2008 Great Graphic Novels for Teens. In 2008, Yoshinaga was nominated for the Eisner Award for her work on The Moon and the Sandals and Flower of Life.

Lyle Masaki of AfterElton.com commends the manga for illustrating "the challenges gay men face in Japanese society", and for not following the traditional mode of student-teacher romantic relationships in "Boys Love" titles, opting instead for a friendship where both characters discover more about what it is to be a gay man. Holly Ellingwood at Active Anime commended the first volume its unique artwork, and praised the plot for its "bittersweet" poignancy, and for showing unrequited love rather than being a simplistic story about "winning the guy". She felt the second volume had "unusual pacing" and came off as "abrupt" peeks into the lives of many different couples. Mania.com's Danielle Van Gorder praised the manga for its characterization and ability to reflect reality. Erin Finnegan of Pop Culture Shock criticized the story for Ida and Hachizume adopting each other, essentially getting married, before having sex, which she regarded as unrealistic. Comic World News's David Welsh says that Yoshinaga's characters, even in this early work, have layers, and that it is enjoyable to see how the frank student inspires the adult characters to communicate better. Coolstreak Cartoons's Leroy Douresseaux criticizes the manga for its inability to focus on one couple. Robin Brenner described the plot as being "an engaging meditation on how crushes are wonderful, but oh, how they can hurt."  Jason Thompson regarded the story as having been "padded out", but enjoyed the theme of "love and loss" in the manga.  Johanna Draper Carlson felt it was novel for the treatment of sex in the first volume to consist of a character making sure they would be able to satisfy their partner.  She felt the second volume was strange for being largely sex scenes.
