CTPartners Research Reveals 50% Increase in Fortune 250 Female CFOs Since 2009 One Female CFO in 2001 Compared to 20 in 2011 Reflects Both Progress and Stubborn Obstacles Business Wire NEW YORK -- October 15, 2012 According to research from executive search firm CTPartners, the Fortune 250 has gone from one female CFO at the start of 2001 to 20 in 11 years, with half named since 2009. The data show that eight percent of Fortune 250 CFOs are women. Thirty-five percent of those women held CFO roles in other companies before being hired into their current positions, and 65 percent were internal hires. Thirty percent had 19 years' internal experience before being named CFO. Highlights from the research: 8% Current F250 CFOs are women (20) All sitting female CFOs, except one, hired 2001 or later (1 in 1997) 50% sitting female CFOs named in 2009 or after (10) 35% hired in as CFO from outside (7) 65% were internal hires (13) 30% had 19 yrs. internal experience or more before being named CFO (6 out of 20) 15% had 27 yrs. internal experience or more before being named CFO (3 out of 20) Barry Bregman, managing director at CTPartners and head of the firm's CFO practice, said, "The increase in female CFOs, especially since 2009, is an encouraging trend, but the still small percentage reflects the corporate Catch-22 limiting more aggressive progress. More companies are committed to hiring women CFOs to strengthen diversity and performance of their companies. The problem is that most large public companies will only consider women with prior CFO experience. As a result, Fortune 250 companies are facing a highly limited talent supply." Bregman added, "There are many qualified women who deserve to advance to the CFO role, but they aren't getting a chance because of companies' excessive caution. In effect, it's hard to become a CFO if you aren't already a CFO. Companies need to rethink their criteria if they are serious about diversity." CTPartners analyzed the Fortune 250 to identify female CFOs and supporting data from 1990 through 2011. Interviews by Barry Bregman with male and female CFOs added insight. The list of Fortune 250 female CFOs is available on request. About CTPartners CTPartners is a leading performance-driven executive search firm serving clients across the globe.

Compiled by
*Indicates player
is a true freshman
2005 First Team
Pat White, West Virginia – Other quarterbacks had better numbers,
but no freshman meant more to his team's success than White did to Sugar
Bowl-bound West Virginia. Channeling a young Michael Vick, he lit a
spark under the moribund Mountaineer offense, breaking down opposing
defenses with his feet and stamping himself as the heir apparent to
Rasheed Marshall. In just over half a season, White ran for 875 yards
and accounted for 14 touchdowns.
Offensive Freshman of the Year
*RB Tyrell Sutton, Northwestern – Not long after leaving high
school, Sutton developed into a workhorse back and an ideal complement
to Brett Basanez and the Northwestern passing attack. He runs low and
hard and is very difficult to get a clean lick on. Sutton accounted for
1,719 yards and 18 touchdowns, both tops among this year's freshman
*RB Darren McFadden, Arkansas – In less than one year at the
college level, McFadden already has the look of a future star. He's big
and fast and runs with the kind of attitude inherent to so many great
backs. In a two-game stretch against Georgia and South Carolina, he
tore off 377 yards, and finished the season with 1,113 yards and 11
scores on the ground.
Sidney Rice, South Carolina – Rice is the first of many Gamecocks
that are going to get rich because of Steve Spurrier's offense. He
didn't test all that well coming out of high school, but passed with
high marks this year, catching 58 passes for 952 and 12 touchdowns, and
earning All-SEC first team honors. Rice has all the gifts to be the
best wide receiver Spurrier has ever coached.
WR James Hardy, Indiana – The 6-6 Hardy blossomed beyond
expectations in his first year, catching 61 balls for 893 yards and 10
touchdowns. Oh, not only does he create match ups nightmares for every
Big Ten defensive back, but he also has soft hands and catches the ball
very well in traffic.
Chase Coffman, Missouri – The son of former NFL great Paul Coffman
looks like a chip off the old block. A backup to Martin Rucker, Coffman
still surpassed all freshmen tight ends with 39 catches for 404 yards
and three catches, saving his best game for Kansas State, dad's alma
OT Max Unger, Oregon – Had he not injured his hamstring, Unger
would have been a key contributor as a true freshman. As a redshirt, he
protected the blindside of Duck quarterbacks and displayed the toughness
and leverage that led to All-Pac 10 honorable mention recognition.
OG Cole Popovich, Fresno State – In 2004, Popovich was the first
true freshman offensive lineman in the Pat Hill era to start, but was
lost for the season in game two, and forced to burn a redshirt. The
year off did nothing to stunt his development. Popovich enjoyed a
terrific season as one of the Bulldogs most reliable run-blockers.
C Eric Wood, Louisville – On a veteran Cardinal line that allowed
just 21 sacks all year, Wood manned the pivot like an old pro. His
development began in the summer, allowing Jason Spitz to remain at
guard, and continued throughout the fall.
OG Jeremy Perry, Oregon State –
Perry harbors a nasty streak that's becoming legendary around Corvallis,
a real asset for any lineman. His run and pass blocking skills are so
advanced that league coaches voted him Pac-10 Co-Freshman of the Year
and Beaver coaches foresee an Outland Trophy in the future.
OT Sean Sester, Purdue – Sester improved each week of the
2005 season, culminating in a spot on the All-Big Ten honorable mention
section. Boiler coaches adore his work ethic and athleticism, and
believe he'll be an anchor once he adds a little more mass to his 6-8
*DE Steve Davis, Minnesota – Davis came to the Gophers as an
outside linebacker, but is growing into a terrific edge pass rusher with
an explosive first step. He led Minnesota with nine tackles for loss
and six sacks, earning All-Big Ten honorable mention honors for his
DT Mitch King, Iowa – King helped fill an enormous void for a
Hawkeye D-line that broke in four new starters this fall. Despite being
built more like a linebacker at 250 pounds, he was named honorable
mention All-Big Ten, a testament to his work ethic and relentless motor.
DT Rashaad Jackson, Clemson – Jackson's emergence was a big boost
for a Tiger line that was sorely lacking depth early in the season.
He's got a very solid base, which enabled him to collect 34 tackles, six
in the opposition's backfield.
DE Brian Orakpo, Texas – Orakpo showed enough in a reserve role
to be named Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year by league coaches. He
lacks prototypical size, yet is a sensational all-around athlete with
the strength of a tackle and speed of a linebacker.
*LB Michael Brown, Duke – Brown supplanted the injured Codey Lowe
early in the year, and cemented his spot at middle linebacker through
the 2008 season. He's a bit undersized, but has great instincts and
pursues very well, as evidenced by his team-leading 92 tackles, 10
tackles for loss and three forced fumbles.
LB Rashad Bobino, Texas – It takes a special freshman to make
immediate contributions on a defense that's as deep and established as
the Longhorns. Bobino is just such an athlete. He started all year for
Texas, flashing great sideline-to-sideline speed and a knack for
delivering quite a pop. Of his 53 tackles, seven were for negative
*LB Freddie Fairchild, Arkansas – A force at the strongside,
Fairchild is a big part of the youth movement that's sweeping through
Fayetteville. He's already showing a keen nose for the ball, collecting
57 tackles and six for loss, despite not beginning the year as the
CB Alphonso Smith, Wake Forest – Smith made his mark in the
spring and summer, and just kept getting once the season began. He
makes crisp breaks on passes, and was seemingly everywhere this fall,
racking up the tackles and tackles for loss like a safety, yet picking
off three passes and breaking up nine.
*S Courtney Greene, Rutgers – Greene didn't get too involved with
pass defense, but was absolutely ferocious whenever opposing offenses
ran the ball. He sheds blockers very well for a young player and led
the Scarlet Knight defense—and all freshmen—with 104 tackles.
Defensive Freshman of the Year
*S Kenny Phillips, Miami – Phillips assimilated very quickly into
the veteran 'Cane defense, grabbing a starting job after Anthony Reddick
tore his ACL and immediately sending notice that he's the next big thing
in Miami safeties. He plays on the edge and with attitude, but also
backed it up by finishing third in tackles on a Miami defense that's
jammed with future pros. Phillips will be a Thorpe Award candidate
before long.
*CB Joe Burnett, UCF – UCF's shocking turnaround from an 0-11
season was fueled by underclassmen, and few were more significant than
Burnett, the team leader in interceptions and the conference leader in
punt returns. He is a superb all-around athlete, and his selection to
the All-C-USA first team portends an extremely bright future in Orlando.
Special Teams
Chris Miller, Ball State – Miller is the reason Ball State finished
third in the MAC in net punting. He averaged nearly 44 yards a boot,
best among freshmen, and pinned opponents inside their own 20 on 20
occasions last fall.
K Sam Swank, Wake Forest – Along with punter Ryan Plackemeier,
Swank gave the Deacons the best special teams unit this side of Boulder,
Colo. Swank proved to be more than just a huge leg, nailing 19-of-24
field goals, including both attempts from outside 50.
*KR Felix Jones, Arkansas – Jones is an explosive talent, even if
he was somewhat lost in the long shadow of fellow freshman RB Darren
McFadden. He averaged more than six yards on his 99 carries and led the
country with a gaudy 32-yard kickoff return average.
*PR Joe Burnett, UCF – Burnett pulled a rare double play, picking
up First Team Freshman All-America honors as both a cornerback and a
punt returner. On special teams, he was No. 6 nationally in punt return
average, going the distance in each of the last two UCF games.
Second Team
QB Drew Weatherford, Florida State – It
was a trying season of ups and downs for Weatherford, who threw 17
interceptions and was pressured relentlessly, yet matured exponentially
since September and has already won his first ACC title. Particularly
late in the season, his development was stunted by an O-line that was
struggling in pass protection.
*RB Steve Slaton, West Virginia – In a season filled with
surprises, Slaton's emergence as an All-Big East stud ranked near the
top of the list. Someone was going to pile up yards in this offense,
but everyone figured it would have been junior Jason Colson or fellow
freshman Jason Gwaltney. Instead, it was Slaton who carried the load,
running for 14 touchdowns and more than 100 yards in six of the final
seven games.
*RB Jamaal Charles, Texas – Even on the crowded Longhorn offense,
Texas' gamebreaking back was able to account for 1,000 yards and 13
touchdowns from scrimmage. He's a homerun hitter, who averaged almost
eight yards a carry and might have been a first-teamer if not for some
injury woes in the middle of the year.
*WR Earl Bennett, Vanderbilt – Bennett established a new SEC
record for freshman with 79 for 876 yards and nine touchdowns. Three
times in the final month of the season, he caught at least 10 passes in
a game, which wisely motivated AP voters to include him on the All-SEC
second team.
*WR Davone Bess, Hawaii – Hawaii's WAC Freshman of the Year can
leap out of the stadium and was a nightmare for defensive backs to
contain this season. He quickly developed a rapport with new hurler
Colt Brennan, pulling a freshman-best 89 balls for 1,124 yards and 14
TE Shawn Nelson, Southern Miss – After top receiver Antwon
Courington was lost for the year with a knee injury, Nelson took over as
Dustin Almond's preferred target, catching a pass in every game this
season. He finished the year with 29 grabs for 419 yards and three
OT Ryan Clady, Boise State – Clady is a Bronco behemoth, who
formed quite a bookend this fall with All-WAC linemate Daryn Colledge.
Following the bowl game, Colledge is off to the NFL, meaning Clady
instantly becomes the pillar of the Boise O-line for the next three
OG Dallas Reynolds, BYU – Reynolds is a 345-pound drive blocker,
who's following in the large footsteps of brother Lance, a preseason
Rimington Trophy candidate. He started every game for one of the
nation's top offenses, and with his LDS mission in the rear view mirror,
won't have any breaks in his athletic development.
*C Jonathan Luigs, Arkansas – Luigs was lightly recruited, but
wound up being one of this year's biggest surprises for the Hogs. He
spent most of the season at guard before filling in for injured center
Kyle Roper, and is expected to take over at the position full-time in
OG Antoine Caldwell, Alabama – The 2005 season was a transition
period for the young 'Bama O-line, but the growing pains will pay
dividends for years to come because of players such as Caldwell. He
displays terrific athleticism and footwork, and in a pinch, can also
shift inside and play center.
OT Yemi Babalola, Texas A&M – A starter for all 11 Aggie games,
Babalola was named honorable mention All-Big 12 by the media. He's an
extremely physical lineman, who beat out veteran Jami Hightower in
August and is quickly earning a reputation as A&M's most consistent
deliverer of pancake blocks.
Barry Turner, Nebraska – As a situational pass rusher for the
Blackshirts, Turner blocked a pair of kicks and notched a school
freshmen-record six sacks in his first season out of high school. He is
blessed with the kind of speed and athleticism that portend plenty more
sacks over the next three seasons.
*DT McKinner Dixon, Texas Tech – Dixon is the type of lineman
that typically winds up in Austin or College Station, and Tech fans are
absolutely geeked he'll be in Lubbock the next three years. A former
end, who's grown into a tackle, Dixon picked up six tackles for loss and
some valuable reps en route to becoming a future star in the Big 12.
DT Nick Vacardipane, Western Michigan – Vacardipane was one of
the unsung Bronco heroes in the resurgence that took place in Kalamazoo
this past year. He used a nice blend of size and speed to collect 50
tackles, eight tackles for loss and five sacks in his first season.
*DE Matt Shaughnessy, Wisconsin – Badger coaches absolutely love Shaughnessy, and why not? He's very
big and very quick, and was maturing into Wisconsin's best pass rusher
before tearing his ACL in November. Shaughnessy was named All-Big Ten
honorable mention and Wisconsin's rookie of the year for 2005.
*LB Greg Trent, Washington State
– Trent did a pretty believable Will Derting impression after the
perennial All-Pac 10 linebacker was lost to injury. Manning the middle
like a veteran, he was in on 69 tackles, second best on the Wazzu
LB Jason Phillips, TCU – A backup fullback just nine months
ago, Phillips parlayed 63 tackles and 7½ tackles for loss into becoming
just the fourth freshman in Mountain West history to be named to the
league's all-conference team.
LB Bryant Haines, Ball State – At 6-5, Haines is destined for
defensive end once he adds some much-needed girth. For now, he's a
pretty disruptive linebacker, who paced the Ball State defense with 83
tackles and added seven tackles behind the line.
*CB Louis Delmas, Western Michigan – Playing one of the most
demanding positions for a first-year player, Delmas immediately excelled
in the Bronco secondary. Flashing good quickness and instincts, he had
82 tackles and three picks, which helped solidify a spot on the All-MAC
second team.
S Patrick Chung, Oregon – The Ducks' big-hitting rover finished
the regular season with a pair of interceptions and 79 tackles, good for
second on the team. He brought a much-needed attitude to the Oregon
secondary and was named honorable mention All-Pac 10 last month.
S Michael Hamlin, Clemson – Hamlin cracked the starting lineup
midway through the season, and made the promotion look like a stroke of
genius. He contributed 53 tackles in six starts at CAT safety, and at
6-3 and 200 pounds, can pack a wallop like a linebacker.
*CB Mike Mickens, Cincinnati – Head coach Mark Dantonio was in
dire of need of a lock down corner this season, and it didn't take long
before Mickens accepted the role. He was active in run support, but
more important, broke up 15 passes in 10 games, which was second best in
the nation.
Special Teams
*P Justin Brantly, Texas A&M – Brantly wants to follow in the
footsteps of former Aggie All-America Shane Lechler. He's off to a
smashing start after averaging more than 43 yards a kick just a year out
of prep school and smashing his idol's school mark for freshmen set a
decade ago.
*K Jordan Congdon, Nebraska – Congdon picked up where he left off
his All-America high school career, connecting on 81% of his field goal
attempts and setting a Husker record with 18 three-pointers in a single
season. Just 19, he's got the unflappable demeanor that usually doesn't
develop until a kicker reaches the NFL.
KR Cedric Peerman, Virginia – Before spraining his knee in early
November, Peerman was leading ACC rookies in all-purpose yards and
appeared headed for an all-conference season. Despite the setback, he
finished the regular year second in the ACC in kickoff return average.
*PR Brandon Tate, North Carolina – Tate was one busy Tar Heel
this fall, fielding 50 returns and finishing third in the ACC in both
punt and kickoff returns. For his efforts on special teams, he was
given honorable mention on this year's all-conference squad.
Third Team
Tim Hiller, Western Michigan – Thrust into the starting lineup
midway through the season, Hiller was a revelation and the eventual
Freshman of the Year in the MAC. In just five full games, the polished
teen threw for 1,334 and 20 touchdowns, while getting picked just three
times and helping guide the Broncos to their best season in five years.
*RB Ontario Sneed, Central Michigan – Asked to replace incumbent
Jerry Seymour just before the season began, Sneed stepped into an
impossible situation, yet authored one of the most productive years in
Chippewa history. In 11 starts, he scored 11 times and produced 1,498
yards from scrimmage, second among freshman to just Northwestern's
Tyrell Sutton.
*RB James Davis, Clemson – Before injuring his wrist in mid
October, Davis was a sensational blend of power and speed, and the best
thing in a Clemson back in years. His numbers were stunted by the time
off, but Davis was still honored as the ACC Rookie of the Year.
WR Deon Butler, Penn State – A former walk-on, Butler quickly
became Michael Robinson's favorite target and ended up leading Penn
State receivers in every statistical category. After stud freshman
Derrick Williams was lost for the year at the midway point, Butler
actually elevated his game to fill the gaping void in the receiving
WR Ryan Grice-Mullen, Hawaii – With all due respect to Florida
State's Greg Carr and Arizona's Michael Thomas, both of whom had
breakthrough seasons, it's just impossible to ignore the kind of numbers
Grice-Mullen posted this year. Yeah, Hawaii throws the ball a million
times, but 85 catches, 13 touchdowns and a freshmen-best 1,228 receiving
yards are incredible for any first-year player.
*TE Martellus Bennett, Texas A&M – At 6-7 and 250 pounds, Bennett
has the potential to be one of the game's premier pass-catchers,
however, his biggest impact in 2005 was as a run blocker in the Aggie
ground game. Bennett suffered from a bad case of the drops in
September, but improved as the year progressed.
*OT Jared Gaither, Maryland – At 6-9 and way north of 300 pounds,
Gaither is bigger than any lineman—or power forward—to ever play in
College Park. His size is surpassed only by his potential, and despite
struggling at times in his rookie year, Gaither exhibited flashes of
greatness as a starter in the second half of the year.
OG B.J. Stabler, Alabama – Stabler broke into the starting lineup
in week three, and never looked back, locking down the job at right
guard for the balance of the year. Like the rest of the young Tide
front, he took his share of lumps this past fall, but should be better
for it by the time the 2006 season begins.
C David Washington, Oklahoma State – Washington won the starting
job in the spring, and wound up being an 11-game rock in the middle for
the Cowboys. Washington is particularly adept at the shotgun snap, a
necessity in Mike Gundy's offense.
*OG Michael Oher, Ole Miss – One of Ed Orgeron's prized recruits
from his first class has already paid dividends. Yeah, Oher missed his
share of assignments, but the 330-pund teen started the Rebs' last 10
games and is on the fast track to a cult following in the grove.
*OT Alex Boone, Ohio State – The hulking teen stepped into the
lineup for injured starter Kirk Barton in October and quickly showed why
he was one of the most coveted recruits in the nation earlier in the
year. With senior Rob Sims vacating his left tackle spot, Buckeye
coaches will find a way to get Boone on the field more regularly in
Kevin Grant, Akron – From his bandit position, Grant finished the
regular season fourth on the Zips with 10½ tackles for loss and third
with 4½ sacks. He's only 6-2 and 235 pounds, but makes up for his size
with outstanding acceleration and field awareness.
*DT Chase Moline, UCLA – Moline didn't get many looks coming out
of high school, however, he's turned plenty of heads ever since. He
compensates for a lack of off-the-charts size and speed with
intangibles, such as toughness and work ethic, and has been a starter on
the Bruin interior since September.
DT Jason Chapman, Wisconsin – For a 6-4, 280-pound lineman,
Chapman exhibits the quickness and athletic tendencies of a defensive
end. He stepped into the lineup after starter Justin Ostrowski suffered
a preseason knee injury, and exceeded the coaching staff's expectations.
DE Craig Rusch, Northern Illinois – Despite missing nearly a
third of the season, Rusch helped solidify the Huskie defensive line and
led the team with six sacks. He has a non-stop motor, and if he winds
up adding some bulk, could eventually move inside for Joe Novak.
LB Clint Sintim, Virginia – Sintim has his sights set on becoming the next great linebacker to
play for Al Groh. He's off to a fine start. Sintim started every game
at outside linebacker for the Cavs, finishing the regular season fifth
in tackles and third in sacks and tackles for loss.
*LB Corey Smith, Cincinnati – Someone was going to benefit
from the mass exodus that took place on the Cincinnati defense last year
and Smith made sure he was one of the chief beneficiaries. Before a
shoulder injury curtailed his season, he was making plays everywhere and
leading the young Bearcats in tackles with 64.
*LB Daniel Holtzclaw, Eastern Michigan – Holtzclaw performed well
enough in his rookie year to even overcome the anonymity of playing in
Ypsilanti, Mich. In 11 starts, he contributed 86 stops, 5½ tackles for
loss and led EMU with three interceptions.
CB Tony Carter, Florida State – What Carter lacks in stature, he
makes up for with quickness and developing ball skills. He got banged
up at times during this first year, but saw enough action to break up
eight passes while building a solid foundation for the next three years.
*S Reggie Smith, Oklahoma – Smith gave hints as the starter this
season why many around Norman feel he'll develop into the next in a long
line of great Sooner strong safeties. He has all the tools to be a
force in the Oklahoma secondary real soon, and picked up some valuable
on-the-job training in 2005 as the program as a whole began to grow up
S Jason Venson, UCF – Had it not been for a knee injury, Venson
would have earned plenty of reps last year as a true freshman. Instead,
he flourished this fall as the Knights' leading tackler and a versatile
safety, who showed a steady knack for really dishing out the punishment.
CB Keenan Lewis, Oregon State – As a whole, the Beaver secondary
took its lumps in 2005, and Lewis can't be excluded. Opposing
quarterbacks looked his way often, however, he got off the turf every
Saturday, and finished the season with a team-best 11 passes defended.
Special Teams
P Britton Colquitt, Tennessee – Britton is the next in a long
line of Colquitts that have handled punting duties in Knoxville. He
averaged a modest 41 yards a punt, but got better as the season
progressed and dropped more than a third of his kicks inside the
opponents 20-yard line.
*K Kevin Kelly, Penn State – For the first time in three years,
the Lions could count on a consistent kicker when drives stalled. Kelly
missed just five field goals all year, and set the Penn State
single-season record for points by a freshman.
KR Jessie Henderson, SMU – A reserve running back with a great
burst, Henderson led C-USA in kickoff return average and took one back
for a touchdown in the September loss to Tulane.
*PR B.J. Hill, Ball State – Hill was second to just Miami's Ryne
Robinson in MAC punt returners, averaging more than 11 yards each time
he shunned the fair catch. At just 5-7 and 170, he showed a penchant
for getting lost behind his blockers and squirting through small cracks
of daylight.

Dawn's Togekiss
this wiki
Dawn's Togekiss is one of Dawn's Pokémon.
Originally belonging to Princess Salvia, Togekiss was given to Dawn after she let Princess Salvia take her place in a Pokémon contest. Togekiss has many powerful attacks, like Aura Sphere, that allow it to be able to hold its own in battle and create amazing appeals.
Personality wise, Togekiss may be carefree and happy, but it can be strict and tough at times, like when Ash's Gible used Draco Meteor and nearly hit Dawn's Piplup, Togekiss knocked it back to Gible and gave it a stern talking-to, telling it never to do it again. Dawn compliments on its personality as being the big sister of her Pokémon roster. Togekiss is like the mother Pokémon to Dawn's team and is always looking out for them. It helped Piplup from one of Gible's out of control Draco Meteors and it let Piplup express its feelings about leaving the gang.

text: God save me from my friends; I can take care of my enemies.That thought must be coursing through the mind of President Obama right now as his White House rigs for silent running in the murder trial of George Zimmerman.Obama foolishly inserted himself into this volatile case weeks ago, and injected the issue of race. Expressing empathy with the family of Trayvon Martin, Obama flashed a signal of racial solidarity:�If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon.� Obama also implied that he shares the liberal perspective that America is a country where black kids must walk in daily fear of white racist vigilantes. �All of us have to do some soul-searching to figure out how does something like this happen. And that means that we examine the laws and the context for what happened, as well as the specifics of the incident.� Translation: The death of Trayvon tells us something is wrong with America.To most Americans, this is a slander against their country, refuted by the statistics on interracial crime. Obama, however, buys into it.Angela Corey, the special prosecutor, says that the charge against Zimmerman of second-degree murder was based on evidence and not influenced by the weeks of demonstrations, demands and threats from black leaders.Perhaps. But from what the pubic knows, a charge of second-degree murder, which carries a sentence of 25 years to life, does not seem to stand up. To convict, prosecutors must convince all 12 members of a jury that not only was Zimmerman in no danger of bodily harm, he did not believe he was in danger of bodily harm. He simply killed Martin in a �depraved� state of mind.Nothing revealed so far seems to support that theory.Zimmerman saw a tall stranger, hooded and acting suspiciously. He called the cops. He did not tell them the man was black. They had to ask him whether the suspect was black, white or Hispanic.�He looks black,� said Zimmerman.The CNN report that Zimmerman, on the call to the cops, used a racial slur, �(bleeping) coon,� has been withdrawn. What Zimmerman said was that it was �(bleeping) cold� outside.Came then the fight. Two eyewitnesses say they saw Zimmerman on his back being beaten and screaming for help. A cop at the scene said Zimmerman had a bloody nose and a gash on the back of his head. Zimmerman's family says Trayvon banged George's head on the sidewalk. Film of Zimmerman entering the police station that night shows bruising on the back of his head.Trayvon was found lying face down. If Zimmerman had been on top and shot him, would not Trayvon have been found on his back?Zimmerman's family says Trayvon started the fight with a fist to the nose, and George went down. Trayvon is not here to tell his story. But a natural question arises:Why would Zimmerman, with a holstered gun to protect himself, close with and start a fistfight with a teenager half a head taller? A grown man with a gun his adversary does not know he has � would he not more likely stand some distance away, to pull it out if needed?The prosecutors must have discovered new evidence to indict for murder. For all of the testimony from Zimmerman's side and the eyewitnesses seems to create more than a reasonable doubt that he committed a murder.Where is Obama's political problem?With the election on, the case has begun to divide the nation along racial lines. And Obama's allies are doing it. It is Jesse Jackson and the Black Caucus crying that Trayvon was �hunted down like a rabid dog in the street,� that he was �murdered and martyred,� that it was a �hate crime.� �It's a disgrace that man (Zimmerman) hasn't been shot yet,� says Mike Tyson. The New Black Panther Party has put out a poster offering a $10,000 reward that reads, �Wanted: Dead or Alive.�The face on the poster is George Zimmerman. Trayvon is the victim here, but George Zimmerman is beginning to look like a victim � of lynch law and mob rule.With the Panthers and Tyson calling for vengeance and vigilante justice, where is Attorney General Eric Holder? Out congratulating Al Sharpton for bringing political pressure on Florida to indict.Is this how justice is advanced in Obama's America?Mayor Michael Bloomberg has denounced Florida's �Stand Your Ground� law � which may be Zimmerman's defense � as �a license to murder� and an excuse for �vigilante justice.� Bloomberg seems about to lead a crusade against the National Rifle Association and for repeal of stand-your-ground laws in the two dozen states that have enacted them.Given their huge emotional investment in this case, how will black leaders and black America react if Zimmerman walks?And how will the rest of America react to that reaction?And if Zimmerman, Trayvon, race, guns and stand-your-ground become voting issues this fall, how good is that for Barack Obama?

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
The third part of the popular and comprehensive series Photoshop CS6 One-on-One follows industry pro Deke McClelland as he plunges into the inner workings of Adobe Photoshop. He shows how to adjust your color, interface, and performance settings to get the best out of your images and the most out of Photoshop, and explores the power of Smart Objects, Shadows/Highlights, and Curves for making subtle, nondestructive adjustments. The course dives into Camera Raw to experiment with the editing toolset there, and returns to Photoshop to discuss toning, blur, and blend modes. Deke also teaches tried-and-true methods for sharpening details and reducing noise, as well as creating quick and accurate selections with Quick Mask, Color Range, and Refine Edge commands.
In this movie, we'll apply some more modifications to the selection outline in the Quick Mask mode, and along the way, I'll show you how to view the Quick Mask along with the image, as we've seen so far, as well as on its own. I have still got my selection outline intact, so I'll press the Q key to enter the Quick Mask mode, and at this point, it's a little bit hard to tell what's going on. I don't really know which areas need to be painted away, and which areas need to stay, so I am going to turn off the RGB image, and view the Quick Mask independently.
So if you're working along with me, switch over to the Channels panel, and notice that the Quick Mask is active, as well as visible, whereas the RGB image, and all of its channels are visible, but inactive. To make them invisible, just click on the eyeball in front of RGB, and that will show you your selection outline as a standard black and white mask. So everything that's masked appears black; everything that's unmasked, and therefore selected, appears white. Now, there is also a keyboard shortcut for showing and hiding the full color image, and that's the Tilde key, which is the key just to the left of the 1 key on an American keyboard.
So Tilde shows me the RGB image, and then pressing Tilde again hides the image. Now, at this point, I obviously need to increase the contrast of my mask, and I'm going to do so using the levels command. So I'll press Control+L, or Command+L on the Mac, in order to invoke a static application of Levels. You can't apply adjustment layers to masks inside Photoshop. I'll click in the black point value, and notice that we've got a kind of spike of dark colors over here on the left-hand side of the histogram.
Let's move the black point to the right of those dark colors by pressing Shift+up arrow a couple of times to set the black point value to 20. Next, I'll select my white Eyedropper tool over here on the right-hand side of the dialog box, and I'll click on one of the darker pixels in the cheekbone there in order to make it white. And if you see some gray values hanging in there, then click again to try and see if you can get rid of them. Ultimately, you should come up with a white point value of 160, so that we are clipping all of this stuff away. Now go ahead and click on the OK button in order to increase the contrast of that mask. All right.
That's a pretty big modification, so I am going to go ahead and save my changes as an alpha channel. Another way to save your Quick Mask edits as alpha channels is to go ahead and drag that Quick Mask item at the bottom of the Channels panel, and drop it onto the little page icon, and that will create an unnamed alpha channel. If you want to name the channel as you create it, then press the Alt key, or the Option key on the Mac, and drag Quick Mask, and drop it onto the page icon, and you'll see the Duplicate Channel dialog box. And I'll call this channel Levels enhancement, and then I'll press the Enter key, or the Return key on the Mac, to create that channel.
All right, now I am going to press the Q key to exit the Quick Mask mode, and convert the mask to a selection outline, and because I've already backed up the selection, I'll press Control+D, or Command+D on the Mac, to deselect the image, because I want to show you something else. When you're working inside of an alpha channel, for example, I'll go ahead and click on Levels enhancement to select it, you also have the option of hiding or displaying the full-color image, and once again, you do so by clicking in the eye column in front of RGB, or you can just press the Tilde key. So Tilde will show the image, and then pressing Tilde again will hide it.
Now, what's interesting about this is, each one of the alpha channels has its own overlay color associated with it. For example, if I press on the base selection channel, and then press the Tilde key, you can see that I have a red overlay, and that's because I created this channel before I changed my Quick Mask color, whereas if I click on QM refinement, and then press the Tilde key, you can see that by this point, I had switched to Cyan. And you can assign a different color to each one of your alpha channels. I'll switch to Levels enhancement, and then press the Tilde key.
It appears cyan right now, but if I want to change its color, I just double-click on the thumbnail in order to bring up the Channel Options dialog box, and I click on the color swatch, and let's say I decide to make this color a bright green by dialing in a Hue value of 120 degrees. Then I'll click OK twice in order to apply that modification. And that's how you view any kind of mask, with or without the full-color image, here inside Photoshop.

25 October 2013 17:56 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (ICIS)--The end-of-year destocking period that is often seen in the European methanol market is unlikely to take place to any significant degree this year, sources said on Friday.
Three reasons were given as to why such a process - which is usually undertaken so as to enter the new year with lower levels of working capital - is not expected this year.
The first is that few players are believed to be operating with high inventories, meaning there is little material to destock.
Secondly, there are already expectations – admittedly only stated by sellers – that the contract price will increase again in the first quarter. As such, sellers reasoned that consumers will try to build stocks at the lower fourth-quarter price.
Finally, with EU duties on imports from many key producing countries set to increase by 3.5% in 2014, sources expect storage facilities in Rotterdam to be maximised in December, so as to minimise exposure to the higher rates.

It is now getting ready to conduct clinical
trials with human subjects
Institute developing an artificial heart valve
that will help patients undergo MRI scans
NEW DELHI: There is some good news for insulin-dependent diabetic patients. Soon, they may not have to undergo painful jabs of insulin injection to keep their sugar levels under control. They may just have to pop in a tablet or gulp down a spoon of the medicine.
The Thiruvananthapuram-based Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute of Medical Sciences and Technology has successfully demonstrated the possibility of developing an oral insulin preparation in experiments on mice. It is now getting ready to conduct clinical trials with human subjects to establish its efficacy and viability. Institute Director K. Mohandas said the technology was based on nanotechnology. The technology, which recently passed the proof of concept stage in experiments with mice, has been transferred to US Vitamin, a Mumbai-based company, for further development.
"We are now getting ready to conduct clinical trials in association with US Vitamin. We will decide whether it should be a tablet or in a liquid form later."
Speaking to reporters here, he said the institute was developing a new artificial heart valve that would help the patients undergo MRI scans, if required. The new valve would make this possible as its casing would be made of titanium. Now, the casing was made of a cobalt-chromium alloy. The Chennai-based TTK Health Care, making and marketing the present valve, was also involved in the development of the valve, which might cost Rs. 16,000 a piece, almost the same as the present valve, Dr. Mohandas said.
The Union Science and Technology Ministry has put out on its web site a draft of the proposed legislation to regulate the medical devices industry for eliciting public opinion. The legislation is aimed at increasing the share of domestic manufacturers by laying down standards for the devices.
Science and Technology Minister Kapil Sibal said 85 per cent of the medical devices were being imported in the absence of standards. "The industry is now valued at Rs. 15,000 crore, with an annual growth rate of 12-14 per cent. Of this, imports accounted for 85 per cent. We want to change the situation and ensure that the share of domestic industry is increased to at least 50 per cent in the next 10 years," he said.

The letter from Republican election judge Paul Bennett (�Election judge admits ballot error,� Sept. 12) rebutting charges in the Aug. 30 front-page article �Pettis GOP files complaint� should have been published on the front page, where it would have been seen by the same group of readers (headline skimmers) who saw the first story.
As Bennett said, �This charge was meant to be and was political in nature� at a time when the GOP is trying to undermine the county clerk, who has served the county as a public servant rather than an ambitious politician for a number of years. The facts concerning the GOP�s complaint and Bennett�s testimonial � �To my knowledge, Pam Doane has done an outstanding job, as has her staff, for the number of years I have worked the polls� � should have gotten the same prominence.

NEW YORK (April 18, 2012) - This Friday night, in a special edition of ShoBox: The New Generation on SHOWTIME®, former undisputed 160-pound world champion Jermain Taylor (29-4-1, 18 KO's) meets the undefeated Caleb "Golden" Truax (18-0-1, 10 KO's) in the 10-round main event. The 10-round co-feature will pit former Cuban amateur standout Erislandy Lara (15-1-1, 10 KO's) against Ronald Hearns (26-2, 20 KO's). Both bouts will be shown live this Friday, April 20, on SHOWTIME (11 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast) from Beau Rivage Resort & Casino in Biloxi, Miss. The card is promoted by DiBella Entertainment (DBE) in association with Golden Boy Promotions.
Seeing action on the untelevised portion of the undercard will be three of DBE's top up-and-coming
prospects, J'Leon Love (10-0, 6KO's), Kelvin Price (12-0, 6KO's) and Steven Martinez (11-1, 9KO's).
The Detroit-native Love, who now lives and trains in the boxing hotbed of Las Vegas, NV, is looking to keep his unbeaten record intact when he takes on Ibahiem King (10-6, 4KO's) in the middleweight's first scheduled eight-rounder. Love has gained invaluable experience within in the last year, first serving as one of the main sparring partners for Antonio Margarito during Margarito's preparation for his rematch with Miguel Cotto this past December, and is now currently in camp with pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather, as Mayweather prepares for his upcoming May 5 fight against Cotto. This will be Love's second fight of 2012. In his most recent outing, Love won a convincing six-round unanimous decision over Elie Augustama on January 6.
Price got a very late start into the sport of boxing, and had only one amateur fight before turning pro in 2007. What Price lacked in experience though, he made up for in athletic ability and size. Standing at 6'7" and weighing in usually around 235-plus pounds, Price was a standout basketball player and track star growing up. After playing his college ball at UNC-Charlotte, Price spent some time playing professional basketball overseas, before coming back to the States and falling in love with the sport of boxing. Price's biggest win as a professional came in 2010 when he decisioned fellow undefeated prospect, Tor Hamer. Price is scheduled to take on Aaron Lyons (12-11-1, 9KO's) in his first scheduled 10-round contest.
Rounding out the five-bout card will be the exciting junior middleweight Martinez. Martinez, a three-time NY Golden Gloves winner and 2008 National Golden Gloves Champion is looking to rebound from his first career loss, a close majority decision to fellow prospect Denis Douglin on ESPN's Friday Night Fights earlier this year when he takes on Marcus Thompkins (5-6-1, 2KO's) in a six-round junior middleweight matchup.
The special edition of ShoBox: The New Generation is promoted by DiBella Entertainment in association with Golden Boy Promotions. The main event features former undisputed middleweight champion Jermain "Bad Intentions" Taylor (29-4-1, 18 KO's) taking on the undefeated Caleb "Golden" Truax (18-0-1, 10 KO's) in a 10-round middleweight matchup. In the co-featured bout of the evening, former Cuban amateur star Erislandy Lara (15-1-1, 10 KO's) takes on Ronald Hearns (26-2, 20 KO's) in a fight originally scheduled for February 11 as the co-feature to Victor Ortiz vs. Andre Berto II, but that was rescheduled after a Berto injury caused a postponement of the event. SHOWTIME® will begin live coverage starting at 11 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast).
Tickets, priced at $150, $100, and $50 plus tax and service charges, are available online at www.beaurivage.com, by phone at (888) 566-7469, or in person at the Beau Rivage Theatre box office. Beau Rivage room reservations can be made by calling (888) 567-6667 or visiting www.beaurivage.com.
Dungiven ace says hes comfortable on the big stage Heffron out
Eamonn OKane believes fighting on the Kell Brook vs. Matthew Hatton undercard was the perfect preparation for his Betfair Prizefighter all-Irish Middleweights appearance at Kings Hall in Belfast on May 5, live on Sky Sports.
The Dungiven man beat local boy Wayne Reed at the Motorpoint Arena Sheffield on St. Patricks Day in his fourth professional bout. The 30 year old put Reed down in the fifth on the way to an impressive 60-53 points win in their six rounder and now has his sights set firmly on the Betfair Prizefighter trophy and the £32,000 winners cheque and the big fights and title shots that victory would bring.
The night in Sheffield was a great night, I hadnt fought since September so it was nice to blow the cobwebs out before Prizefighter, OKane said. It was great to be on such a massive card. It was the biggest crowd Ive fought in front of. Ive fought in the Odyssey Arena and that was seven or eight thousand, this was near enough 10,000 in Sheffield. It was fantastic.
It was my fourth professional fight and it started slowly, but then I started to find him and I caught him with some good shots and had him down in the fifth, said OKane. I was happy with the power I was showing. He was a game opponent and I like people who come to fight, so in the end it was an interesting fight.
He told me afterwards that he was struggling and under pressure in there so to make up for it he was winding me up and I got caught up in it. I shouldnt have, I shouldve just boxed. But youre learning all the time and it while it wasnt a perfect performance, it was a good one and a win so I was happy with it.
OKane had extremely successful amateur career, the highlight being his Commonwealth Games gold medal in 2010, and he thinks that experience will give him the edge in the Kings Hall.
All of my boxing career, both as an amateur and a professional, everything Ive learned, especially from that night in Sheffield, will help me in Prizefighter, said OKane. When I won gold I knew it was live on TV and the stadium was full all those experiences are going to help me to do well on May 5.
Theres going to be hundreds of thousands of people watching it on Sky and internationally, and the Kings Hall will be packed out with people screaming and shouting for different guys. Its going to be amazing on the night. Hopefully most of them will be screaming for me, but it will be a great night either way.
OKane is joined in the 24th edition of Matchroom Sports eight-man, one night tournament by Anthony Fitzgerald, Joe Rea, JJ McDonagh, Simon ODonnell, Ryan Greene and Darren Cruise, with the final name to be added in the next 24 hours after Mark Heffron pulled out with a hand injury.

Stephen Smith vs. Francisco Urena on May 11th
Liverpool star Stephen Smith returns to his home city on Friday 11th May to headline the Olympia, live on BoxNation (Sky Ch. 456/Virgin Ch. 546).
Smith will make the first defence of his World Boxing Organization (WBO) Intercontinental Super-Featherweight title against tough Spaniard Francisco Urena.
The 26-year-old is aiming to stay on track for a rematch with Lee Selby who inflicted the first loss on his record last September to take the Scousers British and Commonwealth titles in one of the biggest domestic upsets of last year.
He roared back with back-to-back first round wins over Arpad Vass in February and Ben Jones last month to win the title and hell be keeping an eye on rival Selby who defends his titles two weeks later in Newport.
And the Liverpool FC fanatic will be looking to make it a hat-trick of first rounders against Urena who has never been stopped in 21 fights.
Smith said, Im looking forward to returning to Liverpool to fight in front of my loyal home fans again and give them a good performance to show that Im back to my best,
Urena looks like a tough challenger, but I havent seen too much of him yet, from what Ive heard he likes to come forward which will play into my hands,
It would be great to stop him in the first round, like the last two have gone, but I dont go in looking to end things early its just the way things have worked out and if I see an opening I go for it,
Of course, I want the fight with Selby again to have the chance to reclaim my titles and to put things right and I know Ill get him down the line,
Im fighting regularly, keeping sharp and improving all the time so when I do face him Ill beat him.
The Olympia undercard features unbeaten super-middleweight Rocky Fielding in an eight-rounder; unbeaten light-middleweight prospect Joe Selkirk; Ellesmere Port super-flyweight Paul Butler, plus Liverpools Andy Coulqhoun and Lyndon Newman.
Tickets are priced at £30, £40 and £60 and are available from Frank Warren Promotions on 01992 550 888 and Olympia Box Office on 0151 263 6633.

by Joel R. Glucksman on October 12, 2012
There has a been a wealth of publicity surrounding high-profile business bankruptcies, such as American Airlines, Hostess, and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, leading many individuals to believe that bankruptcy is on the rise. However, the latest report from the American Bankruptcy Institute reveals that filings are actually falling among the nation's businesses as the economy slowly improves.
Data reveals that corporate petitions for protection under bankruptcy law declined 22 percent during the first nine months of 2012 from where they stood one year ago. Between January and September of this year, companies filed 44,750 bankruptcy requests, compared with 57,613 filings during the same period in 2011. Chapter 11 bankruptcy petitions, specifically, dropped 11 percent to 5,889.

Global Chiral Technology Market Report
DUBLIN, April 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ –
Research and Markets (
http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/zxblrf/global_chiral) has announced the
addition of the "Global Chiral Technology Market Report"
[http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/zxblrf/global_chiral ] report to their
offering. <start_newscom>
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769 )
The analysts forecast the Global Chiral Technology market to grow at a CAGR of 14.53
percent over the period 2013-2017. One of the key factors contributing to this market
growth is the favorable governmental regulations. The Global Chiral Technology market has
also been witnessing the increasing outsourcing of pharmaceutical production to the APAC
Region. However, the complexity of chiral chemistry could pose a challenge to the growth
of this market.
The report, the Global Chiral Technology Market 2013-2017, has been prepared based on
an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the
Americas, EMEA, APAC region; it also covers the Global Chiral Technology market landscape
and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the
key vendors operating in this market.
Many global pharmaceutical companies are nowadays facing several challenges such as
patent expirations and pricing pressures. As a result, these companies are on the lookout
for cost containment measures. For instance, drug manufacturing in Asian countries is less
expensive than it is in western countries. Further, the growing prominence of Asia as an
end-user market and its growth in terms of manufacturing as well as human resource
capabilities is expected to contribute to the growth of the market during the forecast
According to the report, governmental regulations that support the use of chiral
technology constitute a major driver in this market. Healthcare authorities in many
countries have introduced guidelines and policies that provide incentives for investments
made in developing single enantiomer drugs.
Further, the report states that one of the main challenges in this market is the
complexity of chiral chemistry
[http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/zxblrf/global_chiral ]. The complexity of
chiral chemistry is higher in the case of molecules containing multiple chiral centers. As
a result, the selection of an appropriate technique for the synthesis and resolution of
such molecules becomes challenging.
The report also includes a discussion of the other vendors operating in this market.
The other vendors in the market are Bachem Holding AG, Cambrex Corp., Codexis Inc, Johnson
Matthey plc, Novasep Inc., Phenomenex Inc., Regis Technologies Inc., Solvias AG, and Strem
Chemicals Inc.

Rockies fall to Padres 3-2
San Diego The Colorado Rockies were done in by one of their former prospects and a lack of production from the middle of their lineup.
Everth Cabrera, who began his career in the Rockies organization, had two hits and twice beat throws to the plate, and Will Venable drove in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning as the San Diego Padres won 3-2 on Sunday.
Carlos Gonzalez drew two walks, but was the only one of the Rockies' hitters from Nos. 3-6 in the lineup to reach base safely in the game.
"They shut us down offensively today, that's what it boils down to," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. "We had four hits in the first two innings of the game and over the course of the next seven. When your (Nos.) 3, 4, 5, and 6 hitters don't get anything going, it's going to make for a tough day offensively."
Dale Thayer (2-2) pitched 1 1-3 innings of scoreless relief to earn the victory for the Padres, who have won seven of nine and three straight series for the first time this season. Huston Street retired the side in order in the ninth to convert his 16th save in as many chances.
Eric Young opened the game with a triple against Ross Ohlendorf and scored on Marco Scutaro's single. San Diego answered in the bottom of the inning when Alexi Amarista scored on Chase Headley's sacrifice fly against Christian Friedrich.
Friedrich gave up two runs on three hits in five innings while striking out two and walking three.
"I got a lot of 2-1 outs and 3-1 outs, which usually don't happen," Friedrich said. "But our plan was to go inside today and we stuck to it, but I just couldn't make adjustments to get back over the plate a little more."
Cabrera, who stole home a week ago to tie a game in Los Angeles, singled to lead off the seventh against Adam Ottavino (2-1). Cabrera came to San Diego in 2008 in the Rule 5 draft.
Tracy brought in left-hander Matt Reynolds to face John Baker and Venable, both left-handed hitters. Baker sacrificed Cabrera to second and Venable, who had only three at-bats in the series and entered in the top of the inning as part of a double switch, singled to right as Cabrera beat Tyler Colvin's throw home to put San Diego on top 3-2.
"It's tough for me because it's not something I've been accustomed to or learned how to do yet," Venable said of substituting late in games. "It was nice to have that opportunity to get a big knock there."
Venable has mostly face right-handers this season, having only 55 at-bats and a .213 batting average against lefties.
"That was big for Will," Padres manager Bud Black said. "Will got a big knock, the biggest knock of the day. Will, against Reynolds, who's tough on lefties, got it done."
Cabrera also scored the tying run in the fourth on a single by Baker and crashed into catcher Jordan Pacheco, who dropped the ball before the collision. Pacheco made his first start at catcher this season since Wilin Rosario was unavailable due to an ankle injury and backup Ramon Hernandez had caught two straight games.

I'm an adult who is young at heart. I walk boldly into the "teen" sections of nearby libraries to pick up manga. This world is dark enough already without my entertainment choices all being full of violence and pain. There's nothing wrong with wanting some sunshine in my life, with cheering for the hero, or with sighing over the impossible romance. I embrace the pure, vibrant spirit of youth...
Which means that my tastes and favorites aren't ever likely to grow up. Sorry for anyone who hoped I'd move into more mature territory one day. XP
I use exactly 200 words in my anime and manga reviews, which is enough to be helpful, but too few to be dull. (Hopefully.) I'd love it if you read a few and let me know what you think! ^_^ The exceptions are long-running series, one shots, and any other misfits I encounter.
After realizing that the more anime I watch the more pointless my old rating system became, I asked Sunagan if I could steal hers. Because she's awesome, she consented. ^_^ I added 1 and 0.5 stars because I didn't want to change the way I had rated the worst shows thus far.
I've started compiling my most noteworthy anime achievements. These are feats that I don't recommend, because they left me reeling for a while. Don't expect the list to grow longer any time soon. After all, if these were easy, they would really be achievements, now would they?
Anime Achievements:
Manga Achievements:
I should also challenge myself to do something else that's impressive. Hmmm...
4,248 total episodes
You watched ALL of the Naruto fillers without hating it at the end?
YOU. Are. God!!! (bows down before almighty) Damn you are a true fan! :D
And 50 episodes in 48 hours? (does math) That doesn't add up right O_o
I bet you skimmed ._.
But no matter, you ROCK!! :D
I am a fan of your top anime list. Skip Beat is pretty great as is OHSHC and Toradora. Tried Trinity Blood but got confused half-way through and am currently wondering whether I really wanna finish it or not.
Hey Duskfey,
I know I had said to not submit descriptions, but wanted to give a heads up that ones like this are really good: http://www.anime-planet.com/forum/completed-character-submissions/54001-complete-spencer-hale-pokemon-movie-3-submitted-duskfey.html
Of course, main characters may need more info, but this one was well written for sure - I literally didn't edit it at all. The Fairy Musketeers ones weren't as easy to work with but if you can write ones like Spencer's, they'd be a breeze :)
So what I suggest is, if there's more popular series that you think you can write char descrips for, try it on for size. Mainly it's just tough for moderators when it's rare series, if a person isn't trained already... as the mods can't easily confirm. But if you want to get up to speed on descrips (something few people are able to do), submitting them for popular series means it'll be easier to confirm and give feedback :)
Hi! I want to join the FYAB group for Baka to Test Shoukanjuu. When are you planning to watch it?
Hey hey!!
Whats up with you these days. Haven't talked you in a while now. I've been watching a heck of alot of anime online lately, hopefully iy doesnt effect the bandwidth usage too much haha. Your in college right? What class are you taking, im not sure if I asked you this before so I figured now is as good of time as any.
