Let me just say that I wrote this out of complete and total boredom so it might stink... It's just a simple story and I don't own any of the characters... Well besides putting myself and a random weapon thingy... Also I don't know much about the anime so don't yell at me please.This story is about Kaylea(me) enter the school with her partner, Midnight, who is a long sword and her friend Brooke. Brooke's partner is Sebastian who forms into a gun. I won't tell you much more so you'll have to read the rest so enjoy the show! I'm also going to put this... I am not going to write what the already cast looks like so look them up... ;p
Chapter 1
Kaylea was waiting for her friends at the front of the gate, her arms crossed. "Hurry up, guys!" Brooke came running up, panting, with Midnight and Sebastian right behind her. "We didn't want anyone stealing our rides," Midnight says, pushing his bangs out of his face. Midnight had long black hair for a guy, deep blue eyes, and looks that made girls drool on him. Brooke was taller than Kaylea by a few feet, had long brownish black hair, brown eyes, and rather cute, even if she wears black almost everyday. Sebastian wore glasses, had long green hair, green eyes, and was lean, but in a cute way. Kaylea was the plain Jane girl, brown short hair, brown eyes, and a tomboy. "Lets not stand here and chat. We're going to be late," Sebastian says, in his quiet way. As they headed that way, Black Star ran past them, came back and says, "Hey, look what this star found! A couple of new guys! I'm Black Star, the biggest star out there! See you around!" With that he ran off. Brooke sweatdrops and says, "Well, that was odd... Lets go in to see what else will pop out at us." They entered the school at last and saw that it was huge on the inside. Teens were everywhere, trying to hurry to their class. "Oh, crap! We're so going to get lost in here," Kaylea exclaims, already seeing herself getting lost and never being found. "Only you would, sis," Midnight says, patting her on the head. Then Sid walks up to them and tells them, "I'm Sid, your first class teacher. I'll show you to your classroom this one time then you're on your own." Then he was walking away with the group following him.
When they got to the room all the other students were there. "Okay, class, these are the new kids! Kaylea Omega, Midnight Omega, Brooke Battlefield, and Sebastian Firebird. Be good to them or else you'll end up bloody," Sid announced to the whole class. "Now find a seat and wait 'til the bell rings for class," he says, leaving the room. Kaylea sweatdrops and looks around, putting her hands in her pocket. Brooke grabs her arm and pulls her towards four empty seats. They all sit down and sigh at the same time. "Hi, new people. I'm Maka and this is my weapon Soul. Pleasure to meet you," Maka says, in front
of their desk. Soul grunts, heading to his seat. "Pleasure is ours. I'm Brooke, the black haired one is Midnight, the glasses is Sebastian, and the tomboy is Kaylea," Brooke introduces them. "Yo," the others say together. Maka grabs Death the Kid, Tsubaki, and tells Liz and Patty to come over. "The lady is Tsubaki, the boy is Death the Kid, the small girl is Patty, and the tall girl is Liz. Death the Kid is Death-san's son," she says, pointing at each one. "No way! We totally couldn't tell by the
name..." Kaylea says in her lazy way. Midnight punches her lightly on the arm. Kid chuckles and says, "Aren't you a little viper? I wonder how you are in a fight." "I can hold my own pretty well, Kiddo-kun," she says, yawning. Patty burst out laughing all of a sudden. "Wh-what the heck? What is it this time, Patty," Kid asks. "She called you what I calls you!" "Uh, it's 'call' not 'calls' Patty-san," Sebastian says, trying not to insult her. "Oh, right! Thank you, Sebby-kun!" Kaylea sweatdrops and looks away, thinking how she could ditch this place. Midnight lightly elbows her and shakes his head. She shrugs and lays her head on the desk. The bell starts ringing and Sid comes in. "Okay today we're gonna-" Sid begins and class starts.
At the end of school, Kaylea is walking down the hall by herself. The others were going to hang with Maka and Soul to learn how to find their way around the school. "Hey, Kaylea-san," Kid says from behind her. She turns around and says, "Hey, Kiddo-kun... What's up?" "Nothing, where are your friends?" "Hangin' with Maka and Soul... I'm looking for a way outta here... But I seem to be lost..." "Oh, you could follow me. If you want to," he says, holding out his hand. Kaylea hesitates, shrugs and takes his hand. Kid leads her threw the maze of a school. When they got outside, no vehicles were left, not even
Midnight or Sebastian's motorcycles. Liz and Patty were waiting at the gate. "Hey, Kaylea-chan. Your friends said they're
going to Maka's place to eat. They also said don't get angry, have fun with Kid, Patty, and me," Liz says, grinning. "They left me?! Again?!" Kaylea shouts, an anger mark showing. "Again," the three asks together. "Nevermind. I'd hate to ask but could I hang with you guys until they call me whenever?" Kid says, "Sure. Would you like to come to our place?" "That'd be great.. How will we get there?" Kid flips out a flying skateboard and asks, "Are you afraid of flying?" "No, I'm afraid of falling..." Kid laughs and Liz and Patty transform. "Just wrap your arms around my waist and you won't fall," he says, stepping on it. She gulps and steps on, hurridly wrapping her arms around him. Then went flying off towards his mansion.
When they got there, Kaylea was panting from the speed. "You alright?" Kid asks gently, unwrapping her arms
from him. Patty and Liz went back to their human forms and ran inside. "Y-yeah, just need to get used to it..." she mumbles,
trying to get her breathe back. "So, there'll be a next time?" Kid asks, smiling down at her. Kaylea blushes and brushes her
one side of her hair behind her ear. His eyebrows twitch and he brushes the other side behind her ear and lets out a breathe.
"Sorry, I have symmetriphobia which makes me go weird when something isn't balanced.." Kaylea was blushing and stutters,
"It's okay, no one's perfect." "N-not that you don't look cute it's just-" "Kiddo-kun! Stop putting your foot in your mouth!"
Patty shouts, running over and dragging them into the mansion. Kaylea's jaw fell all the way to the ground when she saw it
looked bigger inside. "Liz is making shrimp and other foods! Shrimpy," Patty yells, running into the kitchen. Kid follows her
to the kitchen and Kaylea snaps her mouth shut, following them.
In the kitchen, Liz was making fried shrimp and french fries in hot grease and drinking a beer. "Hey! Kay-chan,
would you like a beer?" Liz asks, taking a swig of her beer. "No, I don't. I'm not old enough..." Kaylea says, a little embarassed
for sounding like a goodie two shoes. "No worries, Kay-chan! Nobody else drinks here either! Onee-chan is the only one
because she is the irresponsible one," Patty says, rubbing her cheek on Kaylea's shoulder like a cat. Kid chuckles deeply from
his throat. "Yeah, yeah. I'm the bad one, Patty's the slightly dim one, and Kid's the weird one. One big happy family." Kaylea
giggles and smiles softly. "Onee-chan, is food done?" "Oh, yeah... Here you go!" Liz says, putting a tray of food on the table.
Kid's eyebrow twitches and he glares at the flung about tray. "Uh oh, Onee-chan! Kiddo-kun's gonna throw a fit! Lets use
our new secret weapon! Kay-chan," Patty shouts, pushing Kaylea towards Kid, making her lose her balance. She thought she
would hit the ground but arms went around her waist. Looking up, she was inches away from his face. Pulling back, she
mumbles an apoligy. Kid helps her back into her seat and smiles sweetly. Liz and Patty were eating the food and watching as
if it were a movie. "Hey! Don't eat it all with out me," Kaylea cries, grabbing a handful and starts munching on a french fry.
The twins laugh and grin at her. All through the afternoon they talked about the most random things. "No, a puppy is cuter
than a kitty," Patty yells. Liz yells back, "No way! Kitten's are way cuter than puppies!" Kid and Kaylea were watching the
arguement like a tennis match. "How long do these arguements last?" she whispers to him. "Oh, it depends on how serious
they are on the subject. I think this one will last at least five more min.," he whispers back to her. Then her phone starts
playing Linkin Park's 'Bleed it Out.' Kaylea flips it open and says, "Are you going to come pick me up now?... Thanks, jerks, I
have ask for a favor again!... You guys always do this to me," she flips it shut and asks, "Hate to ask but... Could you give me a
ride to my house?" "Yes, yes, yes! I wanna see Kay-chan's house! Say yes, Kiddo-kun," Patty shouts, grabbing his arm. He
chuckles and says, "I have to now, or you might kill me." She squeals and Liz and her transform into guns. Kid and Kaylea
walk outside, he brings his skateboard out and says, "Tell me how to get there." Kaylea tells him the directions and gets on,
wrapping her arms and his waist. Then they were off to her house.
Arriving at her house, Patty and Liz look at the house in awe. "It has a homey feeling around it..." Patty says, while
Liz just nods. The house was a pretty decent sized house and it was surrounded by trees. Midnight walks out and says, in a
formal tone, "Welcome to our noble home. Will the ladies come inside with the other ladies?" "Shut up, jerk. Or else I won't
do the cooking and then you'll be screwed," Kaylea says, walking past him and hitting him with the door. When they were
inside, they saw that the house was neat and tidy, but not girly either. "Kaykay-chan! I see you found a ride, huh?"
Sebastian says, petting her head. Brooke tackled hugs her and cries out, "I'm sorry, Kaylea-chan! I forgot about you for a
moment and then it was to late to get you! I'm so sorry! I'll pay more attention to you!" Kaylea tries to get out of her bear
hug but couldn't get out and asks, "Can somebody save me from her? I think I'm going to die of extreme hugging!" Patty and
Liz start hugging her as well. "I'm going to suffacate! I don't wanna die yet! I-I'm closterphobic!" Then Black Star suddenly
appeared and started hugging as well. "Please! I'm begging you," she shouts frantically, trying to get out. Midnight hurridly
brakes the group and tries to soothe her. Kid was watching her as she was trying to breathe steadily. Kaylea says, shakily,
"I'll be in my room... I'm sorry for this..." She then leaves the room and went down the hall to her room. "You can't blame her
it's hard on her here... Bad history, don't ask," Midnight says, then bows his head and leaves the room. "Why doesn't she like
people hugging her," Patty asks, looking hurt. "No, Patty, it's just she can't stand small places and being in the middle of the
circle was making her panic, badly," Sebastian explains, in a patient tone. "Like Kiddo-kun, but she won't go nuts, in a way
she can't breathe," Liz says, too. Kid has an anger mark and growls, "Not everyone is perfect." Tsubaki sweatdrops and gets
out of her chair. "We have to leave. It was nice meeting you. Lets go Black Star." "Same with Soul and I. Pleasure getting to
meet you," Maka says, getting out of the house with Tsubaki. Patty and Liz were looking around the living room. Soul walks
up to Brooke and says, "Thanks for having us over. Sorry for all the trouble today. When Maka gets mad it's best not to get
in her line of fire. I'll see you around, right?" "Oh, yes! You'll see me around a lot! I-I mean you'll see me a lot because we go
to the same school and all," she stammers, blushing slightly. He chuckles and leaves, waving once. "Guess we should go, too.
Lets go Patty and Liz," Kid states. Liz autimatically transforms while Patty says good-bye to Sebastian. "See you, Seb-kun.
Can you get Kaylea to come over again?" "I'll see what I can do. Be good, Patty-chan." She transforms and they leave for
their home.
Well that's it for this chapter. I couldn't think of anything else to do for this chapter. I hope you enjoyed reading this. If you
have any ideas on how I could improve I'll gladly take the advice. Not saying I'll use it since I'm horrible at remembering stuff.
See you in chapter 2!!! =3 Also I'm going to edit this later so just read it like this for now...

"Absolutley perfect!! I doubled the berries, sugar, and cornstarch/water to make it thicker to use as a filling for a cake. Then added the blueberries and it worked amazingly.

"We are tapping into something, clearly," said Wu. "I'd love to give credit to Zephyr and I, but I really think there's something going on in this state and frankly in this country."
In Albany on Thursday, Wu criticized the environmental record of Governor Andrew Cuomo's running mate, former Congresswoman Kathy Hochul.
"She's going to play the traditional, lackey-like position of lieutenant governor, which in my opinion is a waste of a constitutional position, of a constitutional office," Wu said.
After that, Wu went across the street to attend a pro-labor rally on the steps of the state capitol.
Wu said he'd use the job of lieutenant governor as an independent and activist one.
"I think of the position, I can serve as a public advocate. My whole life I've put the interests of the public first," said Wu.
Hochul, meanwhile, defended her voting record in Congress in a three-minute YouTube video released by the state Democratic Committee. She said she never backed down from core Democratic values of pro-choice, pro-marriage equality and pro-worker.
Both Cuomo and Hochul have not responded to invitations to hold televised debates with Teachout and Wu. Wu said he would prefer to have a one-on-one debate with Hochul rather than respond to her in news conferences.
"If she wants to clarify her views on her record, as opposed to having these weird conversations where she puts out videos and put our dossiers on her record piece by piece, we could actually meet in a debate and see who's right," Wu said.
Teachout later in the day appeared at a rally in Albany on the steps of the state Education Building. She said Hochul's record is too out of step with Democratic voters.
"The best way to establish your bonafides as a Democrat is to vote like a Democrat when you're in Congress," said Teachout.
Hochul's campaign account, meanwhile, reported receiving more than $60,000 in donations in the last 24 hours, with contributions coming from key labor groups and an LLC with ties to prolific Cuomo donor, Leonard Litwin.

Fox Revels As Hussein's Favourite Actor
Veteran British actor Edward Fox is delighted he is popular among the political elite - even if his biggest fan was the late Saddam Hussein.
Fox, 68, rose to fame as the lead in the 1973 thriller The Day of the Jackal, and he revels in the fact the former Iraqi dictator once named him as his favourite star.
He says, "Did you know that was Saddam Hussein's favourite film? I was his favourite actor!
"I wished he'd asked me to his palace in Iraq. I could have advised him on matters and perhaps things would have turned out differently."

Blue isn't a color that I wear too often on my nails but recently I am completely loving it.
Maybe it is the warm weather? Or maybe it is just completely gorgeous!
I am using all Julep polishes. Jessica, Vanessa, and the Fast Dry Top Coat.
Something about the irridescent glitter in Vanessa works beautifully with the blue creme of Jessica.
Hope you liked my Nail Of The Day! What are you currently wearing on your nails or toes?

The real value of women in Mexico
We live in a society where family is important and having one on their own must be the principal achievement for all women. However, violence and disrespect toward women have always been present in our society, and it is a problem that is now evident in the increasing number of women's deaths. We live in a male chauvinistic society. Everything in our behavior reflects that condition. We all learn and grow up with this. People don't realize it but even the insults that we use refer to women and reflect the value that society gives to women. For example, insults like "chinga tu madre" and "hijo de puta" make reference to women. In some cases it is explicitly referring to "your mother", in others just using the feminine gender of the word. Insulting the mother is the worst offense that you can make to another person, but at the same time it is frequently used in colloquial speech when referring to things that are not working well for us.
This negative assumption has been present in the evolution of our Mexican society. And now as a result of this, this negative assumption crossed the borders of respect and human rights. With all this said it is incredibly scary to see the negative perception that feminist women could have. They seem like "crazy women that don't want to settle down", that want their freedom to become a libertine, or in best of cases as unruly groups. This irrational argument has tried to discredit these women's work to guarantee the respect of human rights. And in some cases is taken seriously. That is one of the reasons why the crimes in Ciudad Juarez haven't been prosecuted, why the domestic violence is increasing in conservative or rural communities.
This is not the only problem that Mexico has, but I think this is a problem that can be overcome using tools like PulseWire to support the efforts made in the country to educate our population and re-educate women about their own value and capacity as women. Women educate boys and girls on how to treat women. And we need to empower organizations that seek gender equality and human rights. In Mexico each governmental level has a gender equality office that works most of the time without real political support and with limited funds to educate women in rural communities. We need to use this forum to facilitate their communication with the world, to promote their work and contribute to build their capacity as institutes in charge of guaranteeing the respect and empowerment of women in Mexico
Pasión mujer!
que pasión en tu escrito Daniela, increible! es cierto necesitamos foros, y no solo derechos humanos leyes y gobiernos, pero mucho también en las casas, verdad? también crecí con estos estereotipos que no me dejaban encontrar esa paz, que ahora apenas estoy alcanzando. Y con mucho gusto, estoy contigo en esta busqueda de foros, de trabajo y comunicación.
Buen trabajo
Hello, its so unfortunate
Hello, its so unfortunate that what happens to women in Mexico is what happens world over. Women continue to be discriminated, with their needs and interests not given due consideration. And right now what the world needs is a critical mass of young men and women who are gender sensitive because unless the youth, who are the leaders of tommorrow are inculcated into a culture of gender equality, all efforts vested into achieving it will continue to face formidable resistance.
Web 2.0 technologies spot on, since young people love them. And if they use them for the right reasons like fighting for human and women's rights, the world wil be a better place in the coming future.
I encourage you to continue doing what you are doing right now i.e using social media to push for women's rights. Wish you all the best :-)

Friday Night Lights Spoilers: Season Four Castby Steve Marsi at . Comments
Here's interesting Friday Night Lights spoiler / tidbit from EW's spoiler chat this morning pertaining to the show's cast - if the show continues ...
Q: If Friday Night Lights gets picked up for a fourth season (as has been rumored but is not official just yet) who among the cast will return?
A: The only locks are the core Taylors (Kyle Chandler, Connie Britton, Aimee Teegarden) and incoming senior Landry (Jesse Plemons).
Beyond that, exec producer Jason Katims is keeping his options open. "I want to wait until I get the [fourth season] pickup before I really decide," says Katims, who cautions fans not to read too much into the events of the season 3 finale.
"Things might change in the time between the finale and where we start with season 4. The truth is, some people go off to college and it doesn't work out. Something brings them back to town. And some people never end up leaving town."
Cuts will eventually have to be made, Katims concedes. "It's a phenomenal cast," he says. "It's not easy for me to say I'm willing to let go of any of them."

A pair of rockets slammed into a car dealership and a residential building in strongholds of Lebanon's Hezbollah militia in southern Beirut on Sunday, wounding four people and raising fears that Syria's civil war is increasingly moving to Lebanon.
Lebanon's sectarian divide mirrors that of Syria, and Lebanese armed factions have taken sides in their neighbour's civil war.
There was no claim of responsibility for Sunday's attack. However, a Syrian rebel commander threatened earlier this week to strike against Hezbollah strongholds in retaliation for the militia's military support for Syrian President Bashar Assad. Hezbollah is a Shiite Muslim group, while most of the rebels are Sunnis.
Street fighting between rival Lebanese groups has been relatively common since the end of the country's 15-year civil war in 1990, but rocket or artillery attacks on Beirut neighborhoods are rare.
The rockets struck hours after Hezbollah's leader, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, vowed to help propel Mr. Assad to victory in Syria's civil war and warned that the Syrian leader's overthrow would give rise to extremists.
One rocket struck a car dealership in the Mar Mikhael district on the southern edge of the capital, wounding four Syrian workers and damaging two cars, according to Lebanese security officials and witnesses.
Another rocket hit the second floor of an apartment building in the Chiyah district, about two kilometres away. It damaged the facade and a door leading to a living room, but no one was wounded.
A security official said rocket launchers were found in woods in a predominantly Christian and Druse area in suburbs, southeast of Beirut.
An ongoing battle in the Syrian town of Qusair on the Lebanese border has laid bare Hezbollah's growing role in the Syrian conflict. The Iranian-backed militia and Syrian troops launched an offensive against the town last weekend. After dozens of Hezbollah fighters were killed in Qusair over the past week and buried in large funerals in Lebanon, Hezbollah could no longer play down its involvement.
Col. Abdul Jabbar al-Aqidi, commander of the Syrian rebels' Military Council in Aleppo, appeared in a video this week while apparently en route to Qusair, in which he threatened to strike in Beirut's southern suburbs in retaliation for Hezbollah's involvement in Syria.
"We used to say before, 'we are coming Bashar.' Now we say, 'we are coming Bashar and we are coming Hassan Nasrallah,'" he said, in reference to Hezbollah's leader.
"We will strike at your strongholds in Dahiyeh, God willing," he said, using the Lebanese name for Hezbollah's power center in southern Beirut. The video was still online on Youtube on Sunday.
Interior Minister Marwan Charbel blamed "saboteurs" and said- "We hope what is happening in Syria does not move to Lebanon."
Mr. Nasrallah's speech on Saturday offered the clearest public confirmation yet that the militia is directly involved in Syria's war. Mr. Nasrallah's remarks were also the first since Hezbollah fighters have pushed to the front lines of Qusair.
In his televised address, he said Hezbollah members are fighting in Syria against Islamic radicals who pose a danger to Lebanon, and pledged that his group will not allow Syrian militants to control areas along the Lebanese border. He pledged that Hezbollah will turn the tide of the conflict in Mr. Assad's favor, and stay as long as necessary to do so.
"We will continue this road until the end, we will take the responsibility and we will make all the sacrifices," he said. "We will be victorious."
Lebanese Sunnis sympathetic to the Syrian opposition have also been fighting in Syria alongside the rebels. Mr. Nasrallah urged both sides to fight for their side in Syria "and leave Lebanon out of it."
The fighting next door has repeatedly spilled over the border. For the past week, Mr. Assad's opponents and supporters have been clashing in the Lebanese port city of Tripoli, using mortars, grenades and machine guns to attack densely populated areas.
Syria's main opposition group, the Syrian National Council, slammed Mr. Nasrallah's speech as an "an attempt to pit the Lebanese people against their Syrian brothers and sisters who have revolted against the brutal dictator."
In a statement on Sunday, it said his speech "has the potential for serious ramifications in the region."
"It explicitly declares Iranian interests as superior to the basic, inherent rights of people across the region," the statement said.

Beware of Cryptolocker Virus
A relatively new ransom ware trojan virus has been actively attacking campus users and computers. This virus is best known as Cryptolocker.
Cryptolocker's goal is to encrypt your data and request a payment in order for you to retrieve it. Once your files are encrypted, there is no way to decrypt them without paying the ransom. You will no longer have access to your files. A screenshot of the Cryptolocker ransom page can be seen below:
Currently, this will only affect Windows based computers but is expected to follow suit of "FBI Ransomware" and "Browlock"; viruses that infected Apple and Linux operating systems.
The main entry points of this virus are by counterfeit emails with the virus attached (email attachments), downloads from infected web sites, and inclusion in additional malware downloaded by other trojans already infecting a computer (botnets).
Currently, antivirus applications have been able to detect Cryptolocker, but none have been able to successfully block it before it encrypts files.
Paying the ransom is not recommended, however, once your files are encrypted, the only sure way to get them back without paying up is from a backup. Prevention is much better than a cure. Some way to protect your files are to:
If you believe that you are infected with any malware, and not just Cryptolocker, contact the iTech Help Desk at (601) 266-HELP (4357) or email@example.com for assistance.
Potential Disruption to Online Systems, 6-8 p.m. Oct. 17
Access to online systems, including usm.edu, for all Southern Miss campuses may be intermittently disrupted Thursday, Oct. 17, between 6-8 p.m..
This potential disruption is necessary to improve the services of both local and non-local communications and has been scheduled during the fall break in an effort to have the least impact possible.
If you have any questions, contact the Help Desk by phone (601.226.4357) or email (firstname.lastname@example.com).

The Ticket's Sean Bass and His Sobering Stance on...
By Anna Merlan
It takes smart operators to make quality entertainment this dumb (and brave ones to dredge up that maddening "Popcorn" single of yesteryear). Although the deadpan eloquence of the dialogue never quite achieves the zenith of Raising Arizona ("Her insides were a rocky place where my seed could find no perch"), the overall effect still tickles the same ribs. There is stealthy precision involved when Curtis blurts that "Good luck doesn't happen to people like us! Good luck happens to Madonna!" The movie may seem blithe and silly, but it's not just Drive Momma Off the Cliff, as it walks a careful line between mean-spirited mockery (Midler, generously ghastly) and affectionate imitation (DeVito).
With projects as focused as this and the sweetly sung Living Out Loud, DeVito keeps establishing himself as an actor of unassuming gravity. Here, his work is particularly convincing, especially in contrast to Affleck. The young dude puts in some wry twists and indulges in a very funny flare-up, but his mush-mouthed delivery quickly grows tedious. Still, even his bewildered squire seems undeserving of the abrupt and vicious threat that Rash eventually lays on him. Anyone who's ever tangled with a mawkish girlfriend's insane daddy will tell you exactly how funny that scene isn't. Perhaps that's why, overall, Drowning Mona scores its other chuckles so well: Its trite trash feels authentic enough to make one squirm.

Drug Halts Progression to Type 2 Diabetes
Diane Fennell
April 1, 2011
Once-daily treatment with the diabetes drug pioglitazone (brand name Actos) was able to halt progression of prediabetes to Type 2 diabetes in a majority of people, report researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Center and seven collaborating institutions. Prediabetes currently affects an estimated 57 million people in the United States.
Pioglitazone is an oral medicine typically taken once a day, with or between meals, by people with Type 2 diabetes. The drug works by improving insulin sensitivity and decreasing the production of glucose in the liver. To see if pioglitazone could affect the progression from prediabetes (a condition in which blood glucose levels are elevated, but not yet within the diabetic range) to Type 2 diabetes, researchers recruited 602 people who were at high risk for diabetes based on their family history, obesity, and fasting plasma glucose levels between 95 mg/dl and 125 mg/dl. (Partial funding for the research was provided by pioglitazone's manufacturer, Takeda Pharmaceuticals.) The participants were randomly assigned to take either pioglitazone or a placebo (inactive pill) once a day in the morning and were followed for an average of 2.4 years.
At the end of the follow-up period, the researchers found that, compared to placebo, pioglitazone reduced the progression from prediabetes to Type 2 diabetes by 72%. Additionally, use of pioglitazone was associated with a reduction in the rate of thickening of the carotid artery, which brings blood to the brain, as well as a lowering of blood pressure and an increase in the amount of HDL ("good") cholesterol compared to placebo.
According to senior author Ralph DeFronzo, MD, "It's a blockbuster study. The 72 percent reduction is the largest decrease in the conversion rate of prediabetes to diabetes that has ever been demonstrated by any intervention, be it diet, exercise, or medication." Robert R. Henry, MD, President, Medicine & Science, of the American Diabetes Association, noted that "It is the most efficacious method we have studied to date to delay or prevent the onset of Type 2 diabetes."
The medicine did have a number of side effects at the dose used in the study, including significant weight gain and fluid retention. (Another drug in this class, rosiglitazone [Avandia], was recently restricted by the US Food and Drug Administration due to safety concerns.) Additionally, it is unclear both what happens when a person stops taking the medicine and whether treating people with prediabetes is more effective than treating people after they have developed diabetes in terms of preventing complications. In an interview with Fox News, Jill Crandall, MD, a diabetes researcher at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, said, "Lifestyle change, such as weight loss and exercise, remains the best option for those who can do it."
To learn more about the study, read the article "Drug Prevents Type 2 Diabetes in Majority of High-Risk Individuals" or see the study's abstract in The New England Journal of Medicine. And to learn more about pioglitazone, click here.
This is a most curious article/study. I was on Actos for a number of years and till I got serious exercise/walking and correcting carbs control and diet; it was the only drug that would getmy glucose number down ( to 180) My kidney Doctor wanted me off it as prior to corrections; body was full of extra fluid, couldn't lose a pound etc. Today, with liver under control, hearty exercise and carbs control enforced at 1200 cal diet, BG now under control, eye hemorages healed, kidney stabalized and slowly improving and weight dropping - ACTOS gone. ACTOS is a curious drug and will stuff more glucose in cells when nothing else works. So I find study most curious. My type 2 worsened while on this drug and things only improved with hearty exercise and shutting down liver dawn and dump escapades that would ram BG skyward. I am not against ACTOS - only find study curious.

I didn't get a chance to see if it worked for me. I got laid off and lost my medical coverage. my doctor prescribed it to me but I can't afford to buy it. It really stinks when there is a drug that COULD work for you but it is out of your reach because of cost.
Posted by: Diana L Simone | Apr 06, 2011 02:14 PM
I had good luck on Actos for a period of 5 years, then side affects of swelling, weight gain, and fatigue. Most medicare health plans will not cover this drug, $290.00 for 15 30mg. tabs is way out of line. I have increased exercise and diet and am doing great without this product!
Posted by: j lally | Apr 06, 2011 07:26 PM
Diana, when I was on Actos, Takeda Pharmaceuticals had a rebate coupon I sent in monthly for a rebate of up to $50 off the Rx. Look up their customer service number on the internet to see if they have any programs to help with the cost of the drug. I found them to be very helpful! Most of the diabetes manufacturers are...my favorite is Roche/Accu-Chek Plus meter folks. Good luck! S2

I was on actos for years until my ophthalmologist told me that I had macular edema(swelling). He said that there was evidence that actos and avandia helped caused this. I took this to my diabetic doctor and he said that we might as well be sure of this, even though he hadn't read any studies on this. He took me off the actos and doubled my metformin. Within about 2 months the swelling had gone down.

I am very disappointed with Diabetes Self Management Magazine. Why would an editor allow for this article Titled "Breaking News" to be printed, about a drug that has been marketed by its maker since July 1999. This study is bogus due to the fact the drug manufacture Takeda partially funded this study. I was on Actos, however my Doctor pulled me off of this drug when the FDA black labeled this product recently. Not only is edema, a problem, but there is a very high risk of Congestive Heart Failure, Fractures, Heart Attacks, and Stroke. Folks this is a dangerous drug that has been around for several years, and since the Black Label has been given to this drug, the manufacture has lost millions in sales, so they have released this bogus study in hopes of increasing sales they have lost. I again am very, very disappointed with Diabetes Self Management Magazine for printing this article. Editors should use a little more care instead of getting people excited about a new drug that is not new.

Whoa: the feedback here maps directly to my experience and not just one only. Thats not good! Most interesting is the comments about getting exercise, diet and metformin and getting off this drug. Cost was always an issue. Why does the study not relate this info?
Posted by: jim snell | Apr 08, 2011 02:02 AM
Hi E Storer, Thanks for your comment and for sharing your experiences with Actos. The article does not claim that Actos is a new drug; as you note, it was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 1999. What is new, however, is the information gathered in this recent study indicating that Actos may potentially have a role in preventing Type 2 diabetes in people who are at risk. My apologies for any confusion. Also, just to clarify, it was Avandia (another diabetes drug in the same class as Actos) that recently had a black box warning added to its label, not Actos. Thank you for your interest in Diabetes Self-Management. Sincerely, Diane Fennell Web Editor
Posted by: Diane Fennell | Apr 08, 2011 10:02 AM
Yes, the FDA has not gotten to blacklisting Actos yet! The data and experience is not good nor acceptable. I was surprised to learn that Takeda had supposedly funded this study. Is that correct? My Doctor's said after Avandia, that the good folks would get to focusing on Actos as well. Same class and family of drugs.
Posted by: jim snell | Apr 08, 2011 12:20 PM
Hello Mr. Snell, Thank you for your comment. Yes, as indicated in the second paragraph of this article, "Partial funding for the research was provided by pioglitazone's manufacturer, Takeda Pharmaceuticals." Thanks for your interest in Diabetes Self-Management. Sincerely, Diane Fennell Web Editor
Posted by: Diane Fennell | Apr 08, 2011 02:01 PM
Given that Actos is now linked to bladder cancer, it seems like it should only be used as a last resort. http://www.newsinferno.com/pharmaceuticals/actos-linked-to-bladder-cancer/35942 Also, wasn't the blackbox warning about heart attacks issued on the entire class of TZD, including both Actos and Avandia?

How far back did Dr. Paul call for abolishing IRS?Submitted by cseman on Mon, 05/20/2013 - 09:16
Somebody tried telling me Allen Keyes suggested it before Ron Paul. I didn't even know Allen Keyes suggested it at all, but I'm sure it's somewhat recent. How far back can we show that RP was for the abolition of the IRS?

Why does it matter? The point is that the IRS needs to be abolished.

You may find something earlier than 1988. Don't know how long Keyes has been talking about it, but Ron Paul has been talking about it for decades.

Generic word for drugs of all kinds. The term comes from butyrate dope, which is a modeller's form of aircraft dope, or plasticised lacquer, which inhaled could cause altered states, as in huffing glue. Any model rocket builder who has painted with butyrate dope knows how strong its fumes are, even from a small can.

By Josiah M. Hesse
Gabriel's Daughter begins with a slave auction during which Clara is separated from her husband and her child, Eliza Jane. Though the opera doesn't shy away from depicting the horrors of slavery, it doesn't dwell on them. We learn nothing of Clara's experiences as a slave (perhaps there's little on record), and pretty soon, she's told by her owner's tearful and affectionate wife and daughter that he has died, and she is free. She leaves immediately for the West in search of Eliza Jane.
There's a hint of evil here, when Clara encounters Colonel John Chivington, who loathes Native Americans and plots with Colorado politicians to make the state more attractive to settlers through what amounts to ethnic cleansing. Later Clara learns of his role in the infamous Sand Creek Massacre. Though her reproaches are brief and dignified, we're given to understand that he's somewhat abashed by them. None of the music is ugly or dissonant however, and Chad Shelton, who plays Chivington, has a tenor that melts your heart. If you disregard his words, the trio he sings with Clara and another freed slave, Barney Ford (Alfred Walker, a fine baritone), is more gorgeous than ominous.
It's fun to track the historical and local references in Gabriel's Daughter. The opera is thronged with gold miners, whores and politicos. The first editor of the Rocky Mountain News puts in an appearance. It's all pure Americana, and the music pays homage to movie Westerns, Broadway shows, gospel, Aaron Copland. There's even a moment of Jewish liturgical chant -- delivered by a guilt-ridden Jewish miner patronizing the whorehouse.
Gabriel's Daughter is brilliantly conducted by John Moriarty, Central City's artistic director emeritus. This is fitting. When the company decided to commission an original opera by Mollicone -- whose The Face on the Barroom Floor has been part of CCO's summer season for 25 years -- it was Moriarty who shepherded the idea to its completion.
Lori Brown Mirabal, who plays Clara, has a rich, full mezzo-soprano. She's also a wonderful actress. The role may be somewhat one dimensional as written, but she breathes life and feeling into it. When her voice joins with the soaring soprano of Sumayya Ali, who sings the long-lost Eliza Jane, the result is magical.
So magical, unfortunately, that it moved the woman sitting directly in front of me to start unwrapping a candy. Slowly and deliberately. Crinkle. Crinkle. Crinkle. When she finally had the thing freed, I breathed a sigh of relief. Ali and Mirabal's singing came back into clear, heavenly focus. The woman handed the sweet to her husband and began unwrapping a second.

This is one of the most common questions I get.
Simple, give it the dry rub with time to penetrate and then slather it with yellow mustard before smoking. A catch pan is highly recommended.
Sounds tasty, what kind of smoker do you use?
"People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people." - VPrimary: NothinSecondary: Shady Lord RIS, Water to Barleywine, Pumpkin wine, burnt mead Kegged: Crappy infected mildBottles: Apfelwein, 999 Barleywine, Oatmeal Stout, Robust Porter, Robust smoked porter, Simcoe Smash
My home smoker is a simple 2 barrel offset. The comp one, also an offset, is a friends trailer that can hold 4 whole hogs.
Is the mustard what crisps up? I've only use my smoker once and it was a pork butt with a dry rub but no mustard. not much of a bark on it.
Yep works like a champ. I learned this trick from EdWort. He makes some killer BBQ on his BGEs.
I have heard of mustard before the rub but not after. Maybe I got it backwards
I do mustard then rub. Also squirt the butt about every hour with a 2 to 1 mix of Apple juice and apple cider vinegar. Always end up with a nice bark. I use a Great Outdoors Smoky Mountain propane smoker.
Yes the bark is the crusty outside.
I prefer a rub for seasoning, as compared to a marinade so yes I rub, allow to season, slather. If you do it after I suggest mixing the rub and mustard for a marinade, add a little apple cider vinegar in there as well.
Bark is easy. Just turn up the temp a notch for the duration of the smoke.

HBO Renews Luck for Season 2by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Just two days after the premiere of its latest drama, HBO is feeling lucky.
The network has renewed Luck for a second season, despite merely mediocre ratings for the David Milch/Michael Mann-produced horse racing series. Just over one million viewers tuned in for the 9 p.m. showing on Sunday.
Still, a 10-episode second season will kick off in January 2013.
"We couldn't be more thrilled with the critical response to this beautiful piece of work," said head of HBO' programming, Michael Lombardo. "And we are very excited about where David and Michael plan to take these incredible characters."
What did you think of the pilot? Grade it now:

Oh yes...he can call me "Sookie" atiynme...any time at all.Of course, I'm more of an Eric girl myself. Yum.
Hey Bob, tell us how you really feel.
ONe of the producers of this says he has owned race horses. Some cheap trainer must of bent him over the wheelbarrow in the stable barn. He must hate racing to have the distorted view. Someone must be funding this mediocre program. Next season expect naked people as that will be only draw left for mindless people to watch it. I feel good about not having hbo if this is what they call "real" programing. Lots of talent and great photography with no relevent reality of society.

If you have $4000 (or anything up to that) sitting in a savings account earning no interest, you can "park" it into a certificate of deposit at Navy Fed for 1 year.
You can't take money out of it for the year - but at the end of a year you will have earned $160 in interest for leaving $4K in there. You will not find any better deal than that.
FANTASTIC!!! Thank You - Printing to give my partner now!
*** Let me add though it looks like you have to have at least $300 Direct Deposit from work within 90 days of opening certificate and keep it going for the year of the certificate I think if reading correct to get the 4%.

Gulf of Tomini
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the languages spoken in northern Sulawesi, Indonesia, see Tomini–Tolitoli languages.
The Gulf of Tomini (Indonesian: Teluk Tomini) is a gulf located along the equator, off the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia.
It is bounded on the north and west by the Minahassa Peninsula, and on the south by the East Peninsula. To the east it is open to the Molucca Sea.
The Togian Islands sit near the centre of the gulf.
The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) defines the Gulf of Tomini as being one of the waters of the East Indian Archipelago. The IHO defines its eastern limit as "The Western limit of Molukka Sea [sic]", which is defined as "Tg. Pasir Pandjang (0°39′S 123°25′E / 0.650°S 123.417°E) and across to Tg. Tombalilatoe (123°21'E) on the opposite coast".[1]

minor medical illnesses, known collectively as acute mountain sickness (AMS) or major life threatening illnesses (i.e., HAPE or HACE) (see Cymerman, Chapter 16 in this volume).
The challenging environmental conditions at high altitudes include hypobaric hypoxia, dry air, and extreme variations in external temperature. Each of these conditions elicits physiological responses that appear to allow the individual to remain conscious and functional during the first hours and days at high altitude (Cymerman and Rock, 1994).
The governing biophysical factor at high altitudes is the decreasing barometric pressure that characterizes increasing altitude (Cymerman and Rock, 1994). Although the atmospheric concentration of oxygen remains at a constant 20.93 percent at all terrestrial altitudes, the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2 = 0.2093 × barometric pressure) falls along with the decline in barometric pressure. As altitude increases, the lowered oxygen pressure (pO2) in pulmonary alveolae causes a declining saturation of hemoglobin in arterial blood, and a lower oxygen pressure gradient throughout the body, especially at the level of the capillaries, where the pO2 may be close to zero. With low pO2 the blood flow is too rapid to allow appropriate gaseous exchange, resulting in unfavorable conditions for oxyhemoglobin dissociation. Exercise of any kind becomes difficult. Respiratory rate and heart rate increase in response to chemoreceptor activity with resultant modest improvement in oxygen delivery.
The dry air found in high environments adds to the problem of oxygen delivery at altitude. Because air must be moistened to protect the respiratory epithelium, water is added to the air inspired at each breath. As a result, alveolar pO2 is further reduced. This process adds about 47 mm Hg of water vapor pressure to the alveolar gasses. Further exacerbating the alveolar ''crowding" is expired CO2, which contributes 40 mm Hg with normal breathing and increases transiently at altitude. With the higher respiratory rates characteristic of high altitudes, the concentration (and thus partial pressure) of alveolar CO2 declines somewhat with time, allowing alveolar pO2 to increase somewhat with length of exposure (Milledge, 1992; Buskirk and Mendez, 1967). The increased rate of respiration increases fluid loss through the lungs, creating the potential for dehydration if fluid intake is not maintained.
The oxygen dissociation curve for hemoglobin is another important physiological factor at high altitudes. The curve "breaks" at about 14,110 ft (4,300 m), at which point hemoglobin saturation is already decreased to 85 percent of that seen at sea level. At even higher altitudes, small declines in the pO2 of alveolar air result in large declines in arterial blood and hemoglobin saturation, making even the act of breathing hard work.
As altitude increases, ambient temperature decreases at a rate of approximately 3.6°F/984 ft (2°C/300 m) rise in elevation. However, work at high altitudes has the potential for creating extremes of temperature for the individual, with sweating one minute as a result of strenuous work in heavy

Random BSOD Errors
Hi everyone. This is my first time on Seven Forums, as I thought it would be a good place to see if I could get help with my problem. I've owned my ASUS U56E Laptop for almost a year now. Never really had any problems, but since yesterday, I've experienced a Blue Screen of Death three times. It's occurred at random times, the desktop freezes and then just goes to the BSOD, then restarting and working fine again. I wasn't sure if this was a big deal but I read that BSOD's mean something is critically wrong. Here is the Seven Forums.zip folder from the SF Diag tool. Hopefully I can get this fixed. Thanks!

Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate: x64 (SP1)
Hello Nashiz and welcome to Sevenforums!
You've provided the files just fine, except that we'll need the minidumps. Minidumps are necessary for us in order to look at different pointers and stacks of your BSOD.
Your Minidump content should be in the folder at the path C:\Windows\Minidump. If there's no files inside, make sure minidumps are enabled by -
Go to Start, then Run, then type in "sysdm.cpl" (without the quotes) and press Enter
Click on the Advanced tab
Click on the Startup and Recovery button
Ensure that "Automatically restart" is unchecked
Under the Write Debugging Information header select "Small memory dump (64 kB)" in the dropdown box
Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as "%systemroot%\Minidump" (without the quotes)
Click OK twice to exit the dialogs, then reboot for the changes to take effect.
Thank you!

Every XrMath App provides a virtually limitless supply of question to let students DO math.
Intended for classroom use but also suitable for individual work.
Questions can be repeated as often as needed - the numbers are random.
The list of questions is color coded to show the degree of difficulty. The question difficulties range over several grades.
Those students that need to can start with easier questions.
Those who finish quickly can move on to more challenging ones.
The teacher and student chose where to work. They can go back or skip forward, at any time, to get questions that are appropriate.
There are tutorial screens - intended for revision.
Every question has a Example screen showing a worked example, but with different numbers.
The question selection list is updated to show how many times each question has been correct answered, so both teacher and student can monitor progress.
The App generates the question and marks the answer, leaving the teacher free to work one-to-one with individuals or groups of students.
In this app the questions are carefully graded from easy up to difficult in 28 steps.
What comes next 3, 2, 1, 0, ? or 8 + -6 = ?
-4 - -6 = ? or 32 ÷ -8 = ?
up to :
(6 - -4) - (-2 + -5)
What's new
