Benthic macrofauna was sampled by grab at 16 stations in Hampton Roads and the adjacent Elizabeth River, Virginia, USA. Samples were taken in February, May and August. Sampling sites and species were grouped by a classification strategy which basically consisted of the Canberra metric dissimilarity-measure and flexible and group average clustering. Following reallocations, 8 site groups and 16 species groups instructively classified the 47 sites and 93 species considered in the analysis. The sites were grouped into "associations" on mud, muddy-sand and sand-bottom, and those in the Elizabeth River. Species groupings distinguished a few species most frequent at Elizabeth River or mud and muddy-sand sites, larger numbers of species restricted to muddy-sand and sand or solely to sand sites, ubiquitous species, epifaunal species which were microhabitat-restricted, and seasonal species. An analysis of numerically dominant species in the different associations indicated the relative importance of ubiquitous species and seasonally abundant species. Community-structure statistics (species diversity, species richness and evenness) showed definite spatial and temporal patterns. Diversity was high at sand and muddy-sand sites and low at mud and Elizabeth River sites. This spatial pattern was predominantly one of species richness. At Elizabeth River and mud stations, diversity increased from February to August because of increased evenness, while at sand and muddy-sand stations, diversity peaked in May in response to both high species richness and high evenness. The applicability of "community concepts", the causes of substrate specificity, seasonality and species diversity, and the effects of pollution on community structure are discussed.

Lender Practices and Code of Conduct
Lender Practices
- Our goals are to help students (and parents) receive in an accurate and timely manner the loans for which they qualify.
- We shall encourage students and families to borrow only what they absolutely need to persist and succeed in postsecondary education.
- We as financial aid professionals support the integrity of the financial aid process and our responsibility to assist our students.
- We shall fairly and accurately disclose all terms and conditions related to loan products to students and families.
- Any participating lender, while not defined as preferred, will disclose and be transparent with their consumer information about loan products offered; including but not limited to, interest rates, and terms and conditions on education loans.
- Any lender listed as a participating lender will demonstrate high quality loan servicing and define additional benefits beyond the standard terms and conditions.
- A participating lender list, applicable to private education loans, is not restrictive and allows students and families the choice to select any lender and understand the process for selecting a lender and applying for a loan, and the school will promptly certify any loan from any lender selected by the borrower.
- A lender will not be included on a list of participating lenders in exchange for a prohibited inducement. A lender included on a participating lender list is based on borrower benefits for the students and families.
Lynchburg College Office of Financial Aid Code of Conduct
Lynchburg College's financial aid professionals/administrators will practice the Statement of Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct for Institutional Financial Aid Professionals as adopted by the National Association of Student Financial Aid Professionals (NASFAA).
Below is an excerpt of that document:
"An institutional financial aid professional is expected to always maintain exemplary standards of professional conduct in all aspects of carrying out his or her responsibilities, specifically including all dealings with any entities involved in any manner in student financial aid, regardless of whether such entities are involved in a government-sponsored, subsidized, or regulated activity. In doing so, a financial aid professional should:
- Refrain from taking any action for his or her personal benefit;
- Refrain from taking any action he or she believes is contrary to law, regulation, or the best interests of the students and parents he or she serves;
- Ensure that the information he or she provides is accurate, unbiased, and does not reflect any preference arising from actual or potential personal gain;
- Be objective in making decisions and advising his or her institution regarding relationships with any entity involved in any aspect of student financial aid;
- Refrain from soliciting or accepting anything of other than nominal value from any entity (other than an institution of higher education or governmental entity such as the U.S. Department of Education) involved in the making, holding, consolidating or processing of any students loans, including anything of value (including reimbursement of expenses) for serving on an advisory body or a part of a training activity of or sponsored by any such entity;
- Disclose to his or her institution, in such manner as his or her institution may prescribe, any involvement with our interest in any entity involved in any aspect of student financial aid."

Focus and Scope
EIoP is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary E-journal in the field of European integration research. Scholarly contributions from all relevant disciplines are welcome, e.g. from legal studies, political science, economics, sociology, and history.
"European integration research" is to be understood in a broad sense. The following hints are intended to circumscribe what we mean by "European integration research":
- legislative and political processes of the EU and its institutions;
- subjects dealing with the growing together of the European states and peoples;
- comparisons between policies, societies or legal systems between at least two European states;
- effects of European integration on the member states;
- policies and activities of other European international institutions (Council of Europe, OECD, etc.);
- common policies of the European states vis-à-vis third countries or other supranational/international institutions.
Section Policies
Editors- Editorial Assistant
Open Submissions | Indexed | Peer Reviewed |
Peer Review Process
Each article will be thoroughly reviewed, usually by two anonymous referees (double-blind system). Their decision, with respect to the eligibility for publication, will be acknowledged by the editors. Proposals for improvements will be forwarded to the authors.
The following points will be considered by the referees when assessing a manuscript submitted to EIoP:
- EIoP publishes only the highest quality papers. Manuscripts should be of the standard required for acceptance in principle by the other major journals in the field, such as the Journal of Common Market Studies, the Journal of European Public Policy, the Common Market Law Review etc.
- The content of the manuscript should be new in the sense that the main findings have not yet been published elsewhere by this author or other scholars in the field. An EIoP paper should add something new to the debate or at least present a topic in a new manner that leads to new insights. Pure summaries of a debate without adding a new point of view are not acceptable.
- EIoP seeks to publish academic papers, not "policy papers". Normative papers that are targeted at a specific policy-oriented readership, and that make mainly policy proposals, are not acceptable. By academic papers we imply papers that try at least to accommodate different points of view on a subject matter.
- The bibliography needs to be comprehensive and up-to-date. We do not accept papers with obviously incomplete reference lists. Papers need to be based on and to reflect the latest academic discourse in the subject.
- Authors are responsible for language and style. Referees are asked to signal if there are problems with grammar, style and spelling.
The referees are given the following options:
- I am in favour of the publication without revisions ~ "publish as is"
- I am in favour of the publication after minor revision of the text in the following sense… ~ "publish after minor revisions"
- I am in favour of the publication after major revision of the text in the following sense… ~ "revise and resubmit"
- I am not in favour of the publication ~ "reject"
Publication Frequency
Because of the continuous mode of publication there are no numbered issues. The current number of the article is the equivalent to the traditional issue number.
The "number of the volume" is, as usual, based on the year of publication. Therefore, the first set is 1997 and, thus, volume 1.
Submission and Open Access Policy
EIoP is a ROMEO Gold and Green publication: All papers are available open access and self-archiving is allowed. In particular, as of August 2008, the following conditions apply to all submissions to the EIoP:
- Papers already accepted or published by another journal are not acceptable as submissions to the EIoP.
- The simultaneous submission to the EIoP and another journal is not allowed.
- The previous publication of a paper submitted to the EIoP in a working paper series and the previous pre-print exposure on a personal website or in a repository is not in contrast with our editorial policy.
- Papers already published in an edited volume in print are acceptable in the EIoP (see however the copyright policy of that publisher!).
- Later publication of an article previously published in the EIoP in an edited volume in print is acceptable. Due reference to the first publication in EIoP is required.
- Later online publication in whatever form as well as publications in other journals is not permissible.
- Authors are, however, allowed to "self-archive" their papers in digital form at their personal homepages or their institutions' archives (pre-print as well as the final, post-refereeing PDF version) provided that they link back to the original URL of publication in the EIoP.
- The authors agree that the papers published in the EIoP are simultaneously submitted to abstracting, indexing and archiving services, such as, for instance, SSCI, SSRN, ERPA, RePEc, RDB etc.
- Requests for re-prints in text books or anthologies should be addressed to the authors directly, not to the editors, as the authors retain their copyright of the papers under the conditions set out above.
EIoP Special Issues
As EIoP is an E-journal with no paper-bound issues, an "EIoP Special Issue" is a slightly different concept: Such a special issue will consist of three or more interrelated articles under a common heading, with a guest editor (or guest editors), and his/her analytical article discussing the research design as well as the main findings of the special issue from a comparative perspective, to be concluded by further thoughts on the basis of these findings, regarding e.g. persisting research desiderata.
Special issue quality policy: The guest editor(s) and the EIoP Editorial Board will be responsible for the quality of all papers part of the special issue. The guest editor(s) has/have to take care of any formal requirements (like abstracts, keywords, author information, and bibliography). The guest editor(s) and all authors of the special issue will be asked to use the Online Journal Management System.
Papers published as part of a special issue are subject to strict peer review procedures, similar to the papers submitted to our journal individually. As a minimum requirement, both the guest editor(s) and at least one further scholar to be selected by the EIoP Editorial Board write a formal review on each submitted paper. The authors have to respond to the referee's reports in writing and to indicate how the revisions were incorporated in the text. The EIoP Editorial Board reserves the right to appoint additional referees.
Note: A guest editor of the special issue is not allowed to be at the same time author of several articles in the special issue. If s/he wants to contribute with an own article, the standard refereeing procedure as with individually submitted articles is applicable.
Please contact our editorial office (firstname.lastname@example.com) in case you intend to submit a proposal for a special issue. Please include in the proposal the intended number, authors and titles of the papers forming the special issue. Please indicate the time horizon for the realisation of the proposed issue.

However, the following special features have to be observed:
Internet address:
In order to initially or again find the article, you have to give the correct Internet address: the internet address for all articles in the EIoP is:Instead of the "xxxx" you should insert the year of publication, instead of the "yyy" you need to insert the current number of the article, e.g.: 2007-003a.
The file structure on the server of the EIoP guarantees, that the internet- (WWW-) address of a contribution to the EIoP will not change.
The articles of the EIoP are formatted in a way that allows precise references to ("virtual") pages. In the HTML version of an article seperators (e.g. --Begin page 3--) are implemented which refer to the respective page numbers in the PDF document.Volume/issue:
Because of the continous mode of publication there are no numbered issues. The current number of the article is the equivalent to the traditional issue number.The "number of the volume" is as usual based on the year of publication. Therefore, the first set is 1997 and, thus, volume 1.

Editorial 20 February 2015
Dear readers,
MANY THANKS for the multitude of extremely kind replies to our last message, also on behalf of our editorial assistants Veronika Pollak and Brigitte Pircher at the Institute for European Integration Research in Vienna (as well as the former longterm editorial assistant Patrick Scherhaufer). It is impossible to reply to all of those nice words directly, we have to ask for your understanding.
A follow-up project with young researchers is being considered by the President of ECSA Austria, Stefan Griller. If that comes to life you will be informed. Related queries please send directly to ECSA-Austria (email@example.com). The association has supported EIoP since its origins and we would like to express our gratitude to all those who contributed, in addition to Stefan Griller particularly also the (former) subject editors for economics (Fritz Breuss, Gabriele Tondl) and law (Thomas Eilmansberger).
All good wishes from Vienna,
Gerda Falkner

Editorial 18 February 2015
Dear readers,
As the editor-in-chief (Gerda Falkner) and the founding editor-in-chief and technical director (Michael Nentwich), it is our pleasure to announce our latest and final publication of EIoP (article details please find at the bottom of this message).
Our work on this project has lasted for about two decades. The first formal publication was in April 1997 but the preparations for that had been laborious since the six kick-off papers were authored by superstars of European integration studies and followed twice by two more papers by other stellar scholars only a few weeks later. Finally, in 2007, the EIoP has even become an SSCI-listed journal! Overall, we published altogether 257 papers in 19 volumes.
We enjoyed the project and we are still in great support of the basic ideas: making top-level research available to everybody around the globe (open access), free of charge for both authors and readers. However, times have changed fundamentally. A shortage of strictly double-blind refereed journals in the field of European integration studies no longer exists. The same is generally true for online publications with easy access (although unfortunately mostly at high prices). In fact, the present times in our view rather suffer from a "write only" culture where, under ever increasing pressure, researchers produce ever more output. This now extends to PhD students who are typically being asked by their supervisors to start submitting to journals rather too soon. Although some of them certainly are of excellent quality, the sheer number of individual PhD submissions puts a heavy burden on editorial offices. The latter, at the same time, suffer from ever shorter resources. That is a shame but, in a nutshell, we feel that the times are gone when the European Integration online Papers had a truly outstanding legitimacy as a unique project in the field and so it is time for the two of us to say goodbye, and thank you to the many people who over all those years have contributed in making the journal a success! There is a chance that the project might be continued by a group of junior scholars around ECSA-Austria.
In any case, all published papers will continue to be accessible as a free service to the scientific community. Should there ever be a failure to reach the current journal address, please visit EIF's website (at http://eif.univie.ac.at) where the papers will also be stored as a kind of double net security location, or write to EIF (firstname.lastname@example.com) to get continued access to the texts.
With all good wishes from Vienna,
Gerda Falkner
Michael Nentwich
(Founding Editor-in-Chief and Technical Director)
P.S. At the same time, the related project European Research Papers Archive (ERPA) cannot be continued any longer. In times of Google Scholar and social networks like ResearchGate, Mendeley or Academia.edu, research papers can be found easily on the Internet. As with the EIoP, we shall provide a static list of all papers ever included in ERPA up to February 2015, but no further papers will be added to the database and the search engine will no longer be available.
Editorial November 2009
Dear colleagues!
I am happy to present the first Special Issue of the European Integration online Papers (EIoP):
Sandra Kröger (ed.) "What we have learnt: Advances, pitfalls and remaining questions in OMC research".
Our policy is that a special issue in EIoP consists of of three or more interrelated articles under a common heading, with (a) guest editor(s) and an introduction to the theme in form of either a very brief note or a refereed article. As always, the articles are subject to a strict peer review process.
On this occasion, let me mention that our next Special Issue is already being finalised. It will cover "Post-accession compliance in the EU's new member states".
As you know, EIoP is the first SSCI indexed online-only and open access journal in the field of European Integration research. Our turn-around time for manuscripts is significantly smaller than is the case with many print journals since only the strict refereeing process consumes a significant amount of time but publication as such takes very little.
We welcome further submissions of single manuscripts or proposals for further Special Issues!
Kind regards from Vienna,
Gerda Falkner
Editorial January 2009
Dear colleagues!
We would like to inform you about a few changes regarding this journal:
- From Volume 13 (2009) onwards, the founding editor of this journal, Michael Nentwich, hands over the role of the editor-in-chief to Gerda Falkner, the long term subject editor for political science of this journal. Gerda is Director of the Institute for European Integration Research of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna and Professor at the University of Vienna.
- At the same time, our long-term subject editor for economics, Fritz Breuss, retires and hands over to Gabriele Tondl. Gabriele is Professor at the Research Institute for European Affairs of the University of Economics and Business Administration Vienna.
- Furthermore, we would like to repeat an announcement made already a few months ago, but of which we understand that technical difficulties seem to have produced incomplete delivery to the subscriber list: The EIoP is now indexed in the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI). Please refer for details in the Editorial September 2008 to be found here:
We send our greetings to all our subscribers and hope that you will have a prosperous and successful year 2009!
The new editorial team is looking forward to your excellent submissions for Vol. 13!
Gerda Falkner
Michael Nentwich
Founding Editor
Editorial September 2008
Dear colleagues!
This summer a long-awaited communication from Thompson Scientific arrived in our mailbox: As of Vol. 11 (2007)
the European Integration online Papers (EIoP) will be indexed in the most prestigious database in our field,
the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI).
The editorial team welcomes this move by Thompson Scientific as the EIoP have for many years already complied
with all requirements: We are proud that Thompson Scientific now confirms the professional character of the journal
and the high standard of the refereeing system as well as the published papers.
As the founding Editor-in-Chief of EIoP I am very satisfied to see this publication series after eleven years finally
being recognised not only by the research community, its authors and readers, but also by this important academic institution.
EIoP is among the very first online-only and open access journals in the social sciences accepted by the makers of the SSCI and certainly the first of its kind in the field of European integration studies. My special thanks go, in particular, to our authors who chose to publish with us despite the novel and evolving character of online publishing, and to our section editors and referees who made sure that the standard of the quality control procedures matches those of the competing established journals.
I am looking forward to continuous submission of your manuscripts. Never forget the outstandingly short turn-around time: With the help of responsible referees, a well organised online medium can manage to go from submission to publication in a few weeks only; this advantage is now coupled with the certainty to get additional credit points because of the journal being listed in the SSCI!
Yours sincerly,
Michael Nentwich
Editorial June 2006
Dear readers of the European Integration online Papers!
We are proud to present a complete re-launch of the EIoP website!
When we at ECSA-Austria planned what later became the EIoP, the Internet was quite a different place from today. Among other things, HTML pages used to be static and editorial software was still in its infancy. Hence, publishing the EIoP was and still is so far a lot more work than it needs do be. However, in the meantime, various initiatives came up with editorial software that makes the demanding task of running such a journal much more convenient. We tested quite a few of them and settled with an open source product developed by the Public Knowledge Project with the name of "Open Journal System" (OJS). From now on, EIoP will run on OJS.
While both all previously published articles (volumes 1-9) and the new ones (from volume 10 onwards) will be available via the known Internet addresses, EIoP users will enjoy a number of new features. EIoP readers can use the reading tools, which offer a comprehensive guidance through each article. For example, you will be able to export the metadata of an EIoP article in the import format of bibliographic software, such as EndNote or ReferenceManager.
For our EIoP authors and referees, this will mean that the whole editorial process will be managed online via the new software. Authors will submit their manuscripts online; referees will give their opinions via the system. The advantage is: authors can track their submissions online; and referees have everything they need (manuscript, guidelines, forms, etc.) available in their personalised section of the EIoP webpage.
OJS supports the editorial team throughout all phases of the editorial process and enables task sharing and access to all necessary documentation asynchronously and independent from the present location of the members of the team. This will ease our task enormously and make the editorial process even faster and more efficient than before!
Speaking of the team: I am pleased to welcome and to introduce the newly appointed managing editor Patrick Scherhaufer, a political scientist working at the Institute of Advanced Studies in Vienna. He has already acquired experience with editorial processes in similar projects in the field of European integration research, including the EUROGOV papers. Please address all correspondence from now on to him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Although we have tested the software extensively over the last months, we expect minor problems as soon as we administer the first submissions and publications. We hope that you will be patient with us and give us constructive feedback where needed.
There is one last point I want to mention in this editorial: the new software gives readers the option to register on the site. We encourage you to do so as soon as possible. While the old EIoP subscribers list will be available for quite some time, we plan to shift completely to the new subscription system in the medium term. Please show your continued interest in this journal by registering with the new system and unsubscribing from the old list. Many thanks in advance!

The Colorado Mammoth welcomed back defenseman Nick Carlson on Thursday hours prior to the NLL's final roster deadline, signing him to a contract for the remainder of the season. Carlson played eight seasons in Denver, and inked a deal as an unrestricted free agent.
"We needed to solidify our defense," said Mammoth president & general manager Steve Govett. "Nick is a local guy with a wealth of experience with the Mammoth and the new coaching staff, and I expect him to contribute down the stretch."
Earlier this week, Govett worked the phones prior to the NLL trade deadline but was unable to find the right deal.
"We weren't going to sacrifice the long-term vitality of our franchise, and those were the only offers we had on the table from other teams," explained the GM.
In fact, only one swap was made league-wide at the quietest trade deadline in years.
Forward Adam Jones will be back in the line-up next weekend after an eight-week hiatus due to injuries. The 24-year-old was leading the league in goals, points and forced turnovers when a shoulder injury on February 1 shut him down. Jones would have returned to the line-up earlier this month had it not been for an unrelated setback – a fluke injury that saw him take a ball to the eye.
"We immediately thought of the eye injury that essentially ended the career of (former Mammoth forward) Alex Gajic," said Govett. "Precautionary measures were implemented with Adam, and we weren't going to take any risks."
The health of forward Casey Powell, who suffered a lower-body injury in Colorado's overtime win over Calgary on March 8, is greatly improved. He's expected to return to action next Saturday.
Colorado also announced that it has placed defenseman Mike McNamara on the Injured Reserve List. He's expected to return to action later this season.
After a bye this weekend, the Mammoth returns to HealthONE Field at Pepsi Center on Sat., Mar. 29 at 7pm MT to take on the Philadelphia Wings on Western Night. Tickets to the game are on sale now at the Pepsi Center Box Office, all Altitude Tickets outlets, online at AltitudeTickets.com, or by phone at 866.461.6556.

I'm a bit afraid to crash with all that stuff too. But theres no other solution, since I have to take care of the CG and the electronics mustn't be to close to the ESC because otherwise there are to many influences |

tripn4days Sry was away for a day, didnt see ur question on the packing tape. I've built three of these now 75%, 100% and 115% The paper delaminate's in flight and distorts with high humidity, removing it and putting on $tree packing tape is straight easy to work/rework. It's lighter and much stronger. It does take longer to build but sooo worth the time. And only add's $1.00 to the cost of the plane

WHICH LEADS ME TO MY NEXT QUESTION: I've got 2 motor options and having never done a pusher before or ever used these tiny pusher props, I'm a bit stumped about which motor I should go with. I will be running a 3s setup, but could do either an 850mAh 15C battery or a twice and big (and twice as heavy) 2200mAh 30C LiPo. My propeller options include 6x4 pusher style, but also "could" include a 9x5 cut down to 7" or a 10x4.7 SloFlyer cut down to a 6 or 7" Ideas? Do's or Dont's? Suggestions? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated OPTION 1: Grayson Hobby 2208-17 Specs: RPM per volt : 1100 Max efficiency: 80% Max efficiency current: 4~7A (>74%) No Load Current / 10V: 0.4A Max Current: 8A/60 sec Max Watts 100W Weight: 34g ESC: 18Amp OPTION 2: EMP C2826 KV1350 |
Dec 01, 2012, 12:05 PM | |
To be honest, if you have not yet purchased a motor, might I suggest the one tried and true setup we've been using on pusher jets for years? It's the Suppo 2212-6 2200kv motor. Pair it with a 30A ESC and an APC 6X4E prop, and a 3S 1300 or higher lipo. This setup will make your jet scream, but make your wallet smile. I sell this combo on my website: http://www.nicohobbies.com/store/ind...roducts_id=244 I also sell the props for it too. Now, just because I sell these doesn't mean I'm just trying to push my wares. Ask most of the guys on this forum, this is the best bang for the buck for pusher jets. Pat |

Well I actually DID order the Grayson Hobby v2 jet setup about 2 weeks ago. Problem is Basil seems to be a complete when it comes to: A) making sure EVERYTHING IS IN THE BOX (this is my 2nd of 2 large orders with missing/wrong pieces) B) Actually following up with order issues. I never received the motor part of the combo nor did I get my dozen control horns.... He hasnt even acknowledged my issue. I got one email saying, your BO'd battery will ship shortly. Thanks Basil; what about the REST of my messed order?! I'll probably just wind up call my CC company at this point. I like to give peopel 2nd and 3rd chances, but when you cant even acknowledge a customer's issue, it can be rather frustrating. |
Dec 01, 2012, 12:08 PM | ||
The EMP 2826 is very similar to what I am using on mine, which is the turnigy D2826-10 1400kv motor. It spins a 7x5 or 7x6 APC IC prop. I run 1300mah turnigy nanotechs in them, I believe it is 20 or 25C. The packs come down slightly warm. The ESC is a 30A ESC, it is marginal for the job. Hope that helps. |

A pizza delivery man exchanged gunfire with two would-be robbers in Tallahassee Monday night.
It happened in the 1500 block of Crown Ridge Road.
Deputies say a Hungry Howies Pizza delivery man was robbed by two men. The victim and the suspects got into a shoot out. The victims car was shot several times, but he was not hurt. Deputies say he did have a concealed weapons permit.
The suspects were described as two clean shaven black men in their early 20's, with thin builds. Both were wearing hoodies, one was colored black and the other grey.
The suspects are still at large.
Not alot of info on this one, just glad another permit holder made it out ok. Maybe the paper will have more in the morning.

eHarmony Spreads the Love Online in the UK with Web-based Compatibility Matching
LONDON, UK, 6 October 2008—eHarmony, the pioneering US relationship matching company, introduces to the UK a new online service that uses scientific analysis to connect users with a compatible partner.
Unlike other online dating websites – where members post a picture and a short biography, before browsing the profiles of other users – eHarmony is a premium service that uses a web-based "Compatibility Matching System" to present users with matches that they would be most compatible with for a long-term relationship.
These matches are based on key dimensions of the user's personality that are scientifically-proven to predict happier, healthier long-term relationships.
Each new eHarmony user completes an in-depth relationship questionnaire and is presented with a free personality profile. They are then matched with other users who have been scientifically evaluated as being compatible with them. Users have total control of when and how to communicate with their matches.
"With our research into the science of human compatibility, eHarmony has developed a valuable understanding of the key ingredients to successful, long-term relationships," said Greg Waldorf, CEO of eHarmony. "We're now looking forward to sharing our unique expertise with people in the UK, to help them find lasting happiness with their ideal mate."
eHarmony was created in 2000 by Dr Neil Clark Warren, a clinical psychologist with more than 35 years experience in marriage counselling. Today, eHarmony is a runaway success in the USA, where on average 236 people every day get married after being matched by eHarmony.*
Buoyed by its success in the US, eHarmony is now going global. Having already launched in Canada and Australia, eHarmony is confident that its Compatibility Matching System will deliver equally successful results in the UK.
Importantly, before eHarmony enters a new market it conducts extensive research and tailors its matching model to address local attitudes towards what constitutes satisfied relationships.
For the UK, eHarmony partnered with researchers at the Oxford Internet Institute at the University of Oxford to gather data which enabled eHarmony to identify the compatibility characteristics that were most integral to lasting relationships for UK couples.
The research revealed that while the UK had many similarities in what determines a successful relationship, there were also some interesting differences. For example, married people in the United Kingdom consistently express greater satisfaction with the amount of consensus they experience in their marriage, such as the time spent together, how they get along with family and in-laws, and their sexual relationship.
Those from the United States, on the other hand, show more satisfaction with interpersonal aspects of the relationship, such as laughing together more frequently, exchanging ideas, and kissing more often.

About eHarmony, Inc.
Santa Monica, Calif.-based eHarmony, Inc. eHarmony, Inc. (www.eharmony.com) was founded in 2000 and is a pioneer in using relationship science to match singles seeking long-term relationships. Its service presents users with compatible matches based on key dimensions of personality that are scientifically proven to predict highly successful long-term relationships. New peer-reviewed research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) ranks eHarmony as number one for producing the most marriages and the most satisfied marriages. Of all meeting places measured, eHarmony also had the lowest divorce rate.b On average, 438 people marry every day in the U.S. as a result of being matched on eHarmony, nearly 4% of new marriages.b Currently, eHarmony operates online matchmaking services in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and Brazil.
bBased on data on 19,131 marriages from 2005 to 2012 by Harris Interactive, couples that met on eHarmony had significantly fewer breakups than couples who met via all other methods combined. Combining methods that account for less than 1% of marriages sampled."

Wikipedia editing courses launched by Zionist groups. Since the earliest days of the worldwide web, the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians has seen its rhetorical counterpart fought out on the talkboards and chatrooms of the internet.
Now two Israeli groups seeking to gain the upper hand in the online debate have launched a course in "Zionist editing" for Wikipedia, the online reference site. Yesha Council, representing the Jewish settler movement, and the rightwing Israel Sheli (My I srael) movement, ran their first workshop this week in Jerusalem, teaching participants how to rewrite and revise some of the most hotly disputed pages of the online reference site.
"We don't want to change Wikipedia or turn it into a propaganda arm," says Naftali Bennett, director of the Yesha Council. "We just want to show the other side. People think that Israelis are mean, evil people who only want to hurt Arabs all day. " Israeli law limits Arab citizenship. The Israeli parliament passed a law preventing Palestinians married to Israelis from gaining Israeli citizenship.
Human rights groups have condemned the law as racist but supporters say it is necessary for security reasons and to maintain the Jewish character of the state of Israel. The law will prevent Palestinians from the occupied territories in the West Bank and Gaza from marrying Arab-Israelis, who make up about 20% of the population of Israel.

Perriman is an attractive man. At five-ten he's not particularly tall for a football player, but his body is lean and powerfully built. He is wearing a cocoa-color Italian suit, one of 25 suits he had custom-tailored for him last year. His shoes are alligator skin. His scalp and face are shaved clean, except for a pencil line of black mustache. On his wrist is a diamond-studded watch, on his finger a large diamond ring. He oozes status.
"Brett, what's up!" shouts a student the moment Perriman pulls up to the school. When he actually enters the building, the chorus of "Yo, Brett!" grows deafening. He strides down the main hall, looking each student in the eye, reaching his hands out to the little boys who know him from his football camps. "Hey, Brett!" calls out a student who happens to be Perriman's nephew. "You still pulling all A's?" Perriman asks. School staffers join the throng. "Brett!" cries a young woman. She wraps her arms around his chest.
"You're a teacher?" Perriman looks incredulous. "Now I know I'm getting old. I remember you when you were a student at Northwestern."
He is steered into the faculty lounge, which doubles as a small closed-circuit television studio. Two students are set to interview him, but not before pictures are snapped with several teachers. Once the interview begins, Perriman sticks neatly to the outline, dispensing homilies about his brother's death, the senselessness of gun violence, and how he can identify with the students because of his own upbringing in the neighborhood. Principal Ronnie Hunter beams.
"They hear me preach it all the time, but it's like I'm a parent," Hunter explains. "It's great to have someone come in who is known in the community as a role model to tell them the same message. They listen better."
The interview over, Perriman is shuttled to a classroom full of drowsy students and told to speak for half an hour. He tells the students about how he flunked seventh grade because of bad conduct, and how that motivated him to improve academically. As poor black children, they have strikes against them, he says. He insists those strikes can be overcome.
Perriman is not the most vibrant orator in the world; his speech is clear and smooth, but he tends to drift from one message to another. Still, he shows a particular talent for connecting with his audience. His concern comes across as genuine. "You are not a troublemaker," he informs one boy, who asks about overcoming a bad reputation. "You are not a head case. You can do it. Everything that has happened in the past is in the past. Y'all special. Anytime you need to talk to me, anytime, anywhere, you can reach me. I will talk to you. I will help you out."
This statement is basically true. Sears says that Perriman may receive 50 calls a week from organizations or individuals looking for him to make an appearance or help out financially. "Brett wants to do so many things that if I wasn't here, he'd try to respond to all of them, which can't be done," she says. "As it is he's got 50 things going on at once."
Sears hooked up with Perriman about a year ago. She holds a full-time position with the Department of Children and Families, aiding foster parents. Her duties for Perriman, for which she is paid, are at least another full-time job. She schedules his appearances, works with the media, and plots the bigger picture with him, deciding which community problems they will address. Two years ago Sears lost a brother to AIDS, which motivated her leap into activism. "We both believe it is part of the grieving process to go out in the community and attack the issues," she notes.
By the time Perriman finishes speaking to a second class, he is running late for an appointment with County Commissioner Barbara Carey. He quickly collects a certificate of appreciation, pumps hands with principal Hunter, and hurries off to the Joseph Caleb Center in Liberty City.
Carey has enlisted Perriman for her campaign against the celebratory firing of guns on the Fourth of July and New Year's Eve. At her request, he has agreed to tape public service announcements for radio and television. "Who better to be a spokesman than someone personally affected by stray bullets," Carey says when the meeting convenes in her office on the top floor of the center.
It wasn't stray bullets that killed Garyn Perriman, of course. Still, more young people are killed by guns in Miami's black community than die of natural causes, according to Carey. "Brett didn't know the role in life that God offered him," she says. "It is to save lives and fight for a better tomorrow. That's his God-given gift. His other talent helped him to be a role model and to achieve success. Now this talent is a way that the whole community can profit from the bad things that have happened to him."
Perriman nods. Carey answers questions from a lone newspaper reporter while Perriman sits silently. He is scheduled to talk to the commissioner about the gun buy-back program he wants to start, but she indicates she has to run off to another meeting. He says he'll discuss it with the television reporters waiting downstairs. "Oh, the media's downstairs?" Carey asks. "Then I'll go down with you." He glances at his beeper as if reading a message, then tells Carey that the reporters have just left. When the commissioner turns away, Perriman smiles at Sears.

It takes a lot of heat for your hair to look flawless—from drying to styling. But when you jump right in, you're not giving your delicate hair follicles a fighting chance.
To prevent damage, and for a better overall look, use a heat protectant. When heat is applied directly to the hair, the hair shaft opens, making it vulnerable to damage or even color loss. But protectants cover the follicle so it stays sealed and the shaft maintains moisture, so your hair's texture, shine, and fluidity will stay gorgeous (plus your heating tools will work better!).
With cold mornings coming, there will be less air drying and more blow drying. Can your strands take the heat? We've gathered our favorite b-glowing Heat Protectants, and all of them will help safeguard your locks while you have fun playing with different looks!
Sachajuan, Straight and Shine Spray: From the beloved brand known for its simple but effective hair care, we love this spray because it cares for you hair in the best ways: heat protection, added shine, touchable texture, and it's easy to rinse out.
Shea Terra Organics, Argan Face and Body Oil: Hailing from Morocco, this specialized treatment is made from the Argania Spinosa tree, which produces oil that has twice as much Vitamin E as olive oil. You'll reap reparative benefits, and it's 100% natural. While you can use it everywhere on your body (score!), it also helps moisturize dry hair.
Oscar Blandi, Pronto Dry Heat Protect Spray: This dry spray is packing keratin proteins that nourish and strengthen, so you're fully covered. We love it because it's also great for restyling, so you can reshape your look throughout the day with added shine and stronger hold.
Rare E'l'ements, Marula Cocktail: No, it's not for drinking, but it is a great mix of nutrient-rich oils. You can use it as a leave-in conditioner for instant shine, added moisture, breakage prevention, shaping, styling, and flyaway and frizz control. It made our list because it's lightweight and silicone free.
Leonor Greyl, Huile de Palme: This treatment can be used as a pre-shampoo or on its own, and it's natural oils work to soften hair. It'll detangle, as well as protect, with gentle, environmentally friendly ingredients.

Our BEAUTY ICON, Rodin Olio Lusso's Linda Rodin is a natural—both at what she does and how she does it. She craves simple skincare with natural ingredients that fight impurities while recovering genuine beauty.
Coming from a style background, we were eager to learn about how the two worlds collide and how they can work together, especially when it comes to b-glowing brands Linda loves!
Describe the perfect Saturday in NYC.
Waking up late, having a cappuccino and going with Winky to the flea market. And having nothing else to do the rest of the day.
As someone who's worked both actively in fashion and now beauty, how important is it that these two styles complement each other?
Well, I think I was very lucky to have been first in the fashion business. It enabled me to have access to the best models, makeup and hair stylists in the world, so I could let them try my products. That's how the buzz happened. Word of mouth
What is the best beauty advice you've ever received?
Always keep your skin clean and fresh
If you were stuck with one piece of makeup what would it be?
Lipstick, for sure
From one woman to the next, whom do you admire?

3 Precious Metals Producers Poised to Prosper
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- As Wall Street and Main Street await what I hope is surprisingly good news from the lips of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, the precious metals sector is quietly poised for an explosive upside rally.
If Bernanke disappoints at Jackson Hole that rally will probably be put on hold.
We've seen this scenario play out before, and it reminds me of the summer of 2010. After Bernanke applied his version of "the golden rule" (He who has the gold makes the rules), the gold and silver producers had one heck of a rally.
Take a gander at this chart comparing the price moves of the Market Vectors Gold Mining ETF (GDX) and the Global X Silver Miners ETF (SIL) over the past four years.
GDX data by YChartsYou can plainly see that at the beginning of 2010 a bottom was established for both gold and silver producers, and that in the summer a base was established from which to launch an impressive skyward rally. The chart also shows similar base-building that led to the current uptrend beginning in August 2012. Caveat: The Man with the Golden Rule (Bernanke) may play cat-and-mouse with us for a while longer, causing the current rally to stall or retrace some its gains. But don't be fooled. At some point between now and Sept. 13 when the Federal Open Market Committee gives its quarterly assessment of the U.S. economy and Dr. Ben gives the FOMC monetary policy statement, we're likely to experience "lift-off" in the precious metals sector. There are two stocks I believe will do especially well in the gold sector and one in the silver-producing business. Let's begin with Yamana Gold (AUY - Get Report), which has a revealing three-month chart that not only show its trajectory but also how flat the 200-day moving average has been. This stock has become a favorite of the better analysts like our own Jim Cramer for good reason. Yamana is fully committed to the exploration, development and production of its mineral properties and it primarily focuses on gold.

Panelists Miss Lasko-Gross, Yali Lin, Danica Novgorodoff, and Nikki Cook are four talented women who stand at the forefront of the graphic novel revolution. Laurel Maury from Publisher's Weekly asked the artists about their backgrounds, influences, current projects, and their opinions on the apparent sea change the comics market has undergone over the last several years.
Maury pointed out the current boom in graphic novel sales, fueled in part by manga, that has radically altered the market landscape. Coincidentally I had received a press release from Viz Media later that night regarding the manga publisher holding 33 of the top 50 spots in Nielsen's BookScan graphic novel list for the week of September 23. Heck, just the fact that Nielsen BookScan had a graphic novel list floored me.
And one thing this graphic novel boom -- as well as the current webcomic phenomenon -- has brought into the world of comic production is an influx of female voices -- voices that are still relatively under-represented in the mainstream comics industry
"I would love to draw Spider-Man," Nikki Cook said in response to a question regarding eventually doing work for mainstream comics. "But I'm willing to wait. I'm more concerned right now about making really good comics."
Cook is currently working on a graphic novel with Brian Wood for Topshelf Comix called Dogs Day End, and is a member of the webcomic collective ACT-I-VATE.
"It seems they are sometimes more willing to go with established male writers from other fields who apparently know what women want to read than some of the women who are trying to pitch ideas to them," Miss Lasko-Gross commented on the topic of mainstream comic industry initiatives to make graphic novels specifically for women.
Miss Lasko-Gross
Lasko-Gross's debut graphic novel, "Escape From Special," is currently out from Fantagraphics Press. She is also a member of the House of Twelve comics collective.
While mainstream comics haven't quite embraced new female talent wholeheartedly yet, mainstream book publishers apparently have. According to Laurel Maury, major publishers are lining up graphic novels & starting lines of manga for teens left-and-right.
Yali Lin
One recent hire has been Yali Lin, who is currently drawing a manga adaptation of "Romeo & Juliet" for John Wiley & Sons. She also teaches Cartooning to young teens in lower Manhattan.
Then there is Danica Novgorodoff, creator of the Isotope Award-winning minicomic "A Late Freeze" whose first graphic novel, "A Slow Storm," will be published by First Second next year.
Watching these artists speak at the "New Voices" panel, I was struck by the fact that I was indeed looking at the next generation of comic book creators, that these women, with their dynamic vision & unique voices, were evolving and shaping, one page at a time, the graphic medium and what it can be.

It is nothing short of a miracle that the English-speaking world just received the fighting game mash-up Tatsunoko vs Capcom. The brawler has a gathering of Capcom characters facing off against creations from Tatsunoko, a decades-old animation house whose name isn't well known outside Japan, though you may know some of its work, like Speed Racer and Samurai Pizza Cats. Considering that the game was made with only Japanese audiences in mind, and that Tatsunoko's properties were tied up in a ton of licensing-related red tape in both the US and Europe, we truly believed we'd never see it released internationally. Yet and the game's finally here, with one small omission – which we'll get to later – and tons of new features, and we've played it and loved it.
But when the average gaming consumer sees the box on the shelf, they may be dumbfounded in puzzlement. With that in mind, let's address the biggest issue in localizing Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars: it's full of insanely obscure characters. Not only are nearly all the Tatsunoko characters unknown to all but the most devoted, long-time anime fans, but Capcom also threw in some of its own creations who haven't been seen in years. So to relieve you of your confusion, we present the following bios on all the characters of Tatsunoko vs Capcom. With our help, and a nod to YouTube, you'll be confused no more.
Unless stated otherwise, all the videos are the openings to the first series that the characters appeared in. And yes, we have posted this once before, but it's now updated and contains all the fighters from the game. Think of it as the paperback edition.
First appeared: Street Fighter III - New Generation
Ostensibly the main character of Street Fighter III – not that he could possibly replace Ryu as top dog – this New York native was known for his more nuanced fighting style that mixed wrestling and strikes and that, despite taking time to learn, was worth mastering. He had the biggest beef with SF III's big bad Gill, the hot and cold speedo-wearer who'd beaten up Alex's trainer, Tom. After besting Gill, Alex decided to continue fighting and improving his skills against new opponents. He hasn't appeared in a mainline SF release since Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike (but we can hope), but he has sought new challenges in crossover titles such as this one and Capcom Fighting Evolution.
First appeared: Rival Schools: United by Fate
The lead character in Rival Schools, Batsu Ichimonji transfered to Taiyo High and got involved in the many fights going on between his new school and competing education centers. He's your usual red-blooded, all-American – er, all-Japanese – teen who's a master of karate and exploding punches. In the first title, Batsu's out to find his missing mother, with the trail leading to Raizo, the secondary boss and Batsu's long-lost dad (awkward). After saving mommy and reconciling with daddy, Batsu was the lead in the sequel (Project Justice) as well, as he fought both attackers and allegations that he was the cause for a new wave of attacks on the schools. Since proving his innocence at the close of that game, this is his first playable appearance.
Casshan (with Friender)
First appeared: Neo-Human Casshan
In a scary future, robots created to serve man have come to the logical conclusion that all man must be killed to save the earth, so they took over. Tetsuya Azuma, after the death of his father (who invented the now-evil bots), transformed into a cyborg to fight them while giving up his humanity in the process. As Neo-Human Casshan (alternately translated as Neorider Casshern), he uses his strength, pulsar gun and extending legs (seriously) to battle the evil androids. Backing him up is his dog Friender, who also became a cyborg to help Casshan by transforming into various vehicles. This duo has more than a little in common with Mega Man and his dog Rush, and probably were a source of inspiration, as the anime predates the Mega Man games by more than a decade. It's only fitting that Casshan should now appear in a Capcom game.
First appeared: Street Fighter II: The World Warrior
What more can be said about the first lady of fighting games? Chun-Li and her insanely huge legs began their fighting journey with Interpol while hunting down the evil organization Shadaloo and its leader M. Bison for years. Her hatred for Bison stems from him murdering her father, which apparently happened on a Tuesday. After Bison's defeat, her purpose receded, but she's always brought back into the world of street fighting, putting her lightning-fast kicks to good use, such as defending an orphan girl in Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike.
Doronjo (with Boyacky and Tonzra)
First appeared: Yatterman
The comical enemies of the Yatterman crew, the sexy Doronjo and her sidekicks Boyacky (in green) and Tonzra (in purple) are always scheming to steal something, typically parts of the Skull Stone for their seldom-seen boss. Doronjo is the comically evil leader of the trio, usually bossing around her two idiot henchmen, and even in the game, they do most of the attacks for her. They're always foiled by the Yatterman team, and basically work like the lovable losers Team Rocket from the Pokemon anime series. Also of note: a recurring joke is for Doronjo to be caught in an explosion, and despite being physically fine, she's usually left in some state of near-nakedness by the blast.
Above: Doronjo and her sidekicks sing in the 2008 Yatterman remake
Frank West
First appeared: Dead Rising
Despite his experience covering wars, freelance photojournalist Frank West was in for the roughest 72 hours of his life when he decided to descend into the town of Willamette, CO to cover an unexplained quarantine on the formerly quiet city. Trapped in a mall with tens of thousands of zombies, a collection of slow or suicidal bystanders, a hot but mysterious Latina, and only a handful of save points, Frank fought his way to the bottom of a conspiracy one spray of blood at a time. Last seen left to his doom being swarmed by undead, Frank returns in TvC sporting some of his most famous weapons, including a baseball bat, a Servbot helmet, zombies (?!?) and his very own Mega Buster.

Bowdoin tied a school record for wins in a season in 2003, going 17-15 overall.
Lemieux stepped in as a rookie to take over centerfield duties for the Polar Bears and had a stellar rookie campaign. The first-year hit .325 with six homers and led Bowdoin with 35 runs scored out of the leadoff position in the batting order. The Maranacook graduate started all 31 games he played in and was second on the squad in total bases (67) and walks (11), while not making a single error in the field all year. His highlight of the season was a two-homer game against Colby on May 3.
Jimmy Shea came into his own as a sophomore, batting .409 to lead the Polar Bears this spring. His 45 hits and .476 on-base percentage were tops on the team and his 27 runs scored placed him second on the squad. The Bangor graduate also led Bowdoin with seven stolen bases on the year. In addition to being named All-NESCAC, Shea was honored as a third-team selection on the All-New England team, chosen by the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association.
