*Your pronation type is determined by the natural motion your feet apply throughout your running gait. When you pronate your foot rolls from either the outer edge, inner edge or not at all. If your foot rolls to the outer edge when you run, you are an underpronator, if it rolls to the inner edge you are a overpronator and if your foot doesn't roll at all you are a neutral or stable runner.

quote _NiTrOuS_I like nightmare, He's slow but once you get the hang of him it can be hard to avoid him. I like to use some horizontal attacks and play defensive to get in close, then use a throw and then... well its over. Get someone on the ground and 3 hit that sucker. haha. I didnt use to like him til i messed around in practice mode and figured him out. Anyway, my favorite character is ivy. shes strong fast and has good range and lots of knock downs.The first few posts are a split between me. Nightmare IMO is the worst character, he has no fast move besides his kicks, so his moves are mostly predictable, making him IMO the worst character.
Astaroth on the other hand, has many moves that can executed quickly, also he has some mad reach. That, makes him one of the best I think.
I think that Voldo, overall, is the best. His fighting style is, well, just plain messed up and *bleep*ed. Lol, he is the most unpredictable. He has good stances, can hit close-range to long-range, very quick, and to top it all off, quick.
quote Andy BAstaroth... he's easly beaten by quicker characters.

The Stetson men's tennis team (10-1, 2-0) was defeated by the #17 Drake Bulldogs (14-1) by a score of 7-0 on Monday afternoon at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center.
Drake put Stetson in a hole early by taking the doubles point. The Bulldogs won the first two matches of the day to secure the 1-0 lead, and hand the Hatters their first doubles loss in their last six outings. They held a 7-4 advantage in the third match before it was stopped.
Drake carried that momentum into singles, winning all six matches in straight sets. The Bulldogs are the highest ranked team Stetson has hosted at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center, and are currently 4-1 against ranked opponents. The difficult competition will help prepare the Hatters in their upcoming contests.
"What a great experience it was for our young team to play such a strong program like Drake," Stetson Director of Tennis Pierre Pilote said after the match. "They are where we aim to be in future years."
The loss on Monday ended Stetson's 10-match winning streak, its best start to a season since 1996. Stetson will look to right the ship when the Hatters host Wisconsin-Green Bay on Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. before heading to Georgia for two conference matches against Kennesaw State and Mercer.
"Now our eyes are set to our next challenge," Pilote said. "We play another talented team in Wisconsin-Green Bay on Wednesday."

Finding the "Voice" of Your Business
If you've spent any length of time around writers, discussions of "voice" will inevitably arise. "I'm writing in the first person, but I'm finding the voice a little tough," or "I really admire the richness of Margaret Atwood's voice" or even, "I'm trying to fit my voice into a male character, and it's just not working …"
But if you try to corner one of us to ask exactly what we mean by "voice", you'll find we stammer some half-arsed answer, cry "look, a man wearing an enormous novelty mustache!" and scamper away when you back is turned. "Voice" is a concept writers understand innately, but we struggle to describe.
But "voice" is a concept that's vital for any business owner to grasp, as it's an integral part of your brand. And since I'm a writer who works predominantly with small business owners, I thought I'd do my part to demistify the concept of voice and why it's important for your business.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Industry sources project a continuing 10 to 15% growth in the market for biotherapeutic peptide new chemical entities, and more modest growth of slightly greater than 10% for generic peptides. These projections, however, predate the current global economic downturn and ongoing financial instability, and there is growing concern that some projects presently in corporate pipelines might be stalled and new projects may be delayed, with a worried eye focusing primarily on the biotech sector and companies that rely on venture capital funding.
"There is reduced appetite for risk in the financial markets," observes Johan Devenyns, Ph.D., head of Solvay Peptides, the parent company of Peptisyntha.
What had largely limited more widespread development of therapeutic peptides in the past has been the cost of manufacturing, according to Huw Nash, vp of corporate development and a cofounder of Aileron Therapeutics. Within the past five to ten years, though, "solid-phase synthesis of large helical peptides has become economically viable," says Nash, citing the commercial success of Roche's Fuzeon for HIV infection and Amylin's Byetta for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
Now, instead of worrying about manufacturing and cost issues, peptide drug developers are focused on expanding delivery strategies and improving the pharmacokinetic properties of therapeutic peptides.
The current absence of clear regulatory guidance from the FDA regarding impurity specifications for peptides in clinical trials presents challenges for manufacturers and their clients. "We continue to see drug product sponsors opting for the impurity guidelines for small molecules, even though complex peptides are specifically excluded from these," says Rodney Lax, director of sales and marketing at PolyPeptide Laboratories (PPL). "Given the low toxicity for peptides in general, this approach places unreasonable technical and economic demands on the CMO, particularly for more complex peptides."
"The therapeutic peptides market is still predominantly U.S.-oriented," says Dr. Devenyns. More than two-thirds of demand comes from the U.S. market. The bulk of solid-phase synthesis capacity resides in the U.S., with solution-phase operations primarily located in Europe.
In describing the competitive landscape outside the U.S., Dr. Devenyns points to a trend in which peptide companies have gone through a round of consolidation and are currently looking to the east for increasing the scope of their manufacturing operations.
At Peptisyntha, the expansion under way at its Torrance, CA, site continues. The new QC/QA laboratories and offices, is scheduled to be ready by March. The company has also leased an additional building adjacent to its existing facility that will provide increased production capacity in 2010—predominantly for solid-phase peptide synthesis.
At the Brussels site, where the company's solution-phase manufacturing capability is based, Peptisyntha took into operation new QC labs and a new synthesis pilot over the past 6-12 months. Additionally, new GMP warehouses went into use earlier this year in Brussels for receipt and storage of materials under controlled conditions. All of these expansions were built to comply with cGMP standards.
A key goal for 2009, according to Dr. Devenyns, is the installation and validation of a manufacturing execution system that will automate series of workflow processes involved in peptide production. This will include automated follow-up of the flow of materials moving in and out of the company's new warehouses and will constitute the backbone of a productivity upgrade. Additionally, new pilot capacity for purification and lyophilization will also be brought on-stream. Peptisyntha was inspected in August 2008 by the Belgian Federal Agency for Medicines and Health Products, on behalf of EMEA, and a GMP certificate was granted.
With the acquisition of NeoMPS, previously the peptide manufacturing arm of Isochem, and its facilities in Strasbourg, France, and San Diego, PolyPeptide Laboratories has added substantial manufacturing capacity to its ongoing GMP operations in the U.S., Denmark, Sweden, and India. It also broadened its range of offerings, providing services to organizations seeking catalog peptides, radio-labeling services, small-scale non-GMP synthesis, as well as contract manufacture of amino acid derivatives and organics.
The acquisition of NeoMPS gave PPL a "broader window for pipeline projects," says Lax, in particular enabling the company to pursue more small-scale GMP projects, such as vaccine production, for which initial GMP lots typically require only about 10 grams of peptide, as well as the general ability to compete for earlier-stage projects.
About 35% of PPL's business is in generic peptides, which Lax describes as an established market that will likely remain fairly stable even in the current economic uncertainty. An additional 25% of the company's revenue stream depends on contracts with large pharmaceutical companies, adding to Lax's confidence that PPL is in a good position to weather the economic storm.
The company's new facility in India will be operational later this year and will be dedicated initially to generic peptide production. Expansion of manufacturing capacity is also ongoing in Scandinavia and Torrance.

UNIVERSITY PARK - The line of questioning started focusing on areas of concern for Penn State after Saturday's mistake-filled 23-17 win over Syracuse, so Bill O'Brien attempted to switch the narrative to deflect criticism away from his players.
The coach doesn't want people to forget about the many obstacles the Nittany Lions face trying to win games, and he reminded everyone of that Tuesday.
"I think it's important to look at the positives," O'Brien said before running through a list of things his team overcame.
He talked about his squad finding a way to win despite being on the road, with a freshman quarterback, playing in 104-degree temperature, playing without the team's best receiver in the first half and playing with limited scholarships.
"I just think we should be talking about that a lot," O'Brien said. "I think what's going on here - look, it's just one game, but I think it's an important subject to make sure that we all understand how, again [that] we got a great bunch of kids that have stayed committed to Penn State, and I think it's great fun to be around them."
The Lions' concerns are legitimate - they turned it over four times and went 1-for-16 on third down against Syracuse - but O'Brien understands the balance he has to have in keeping things positive at a time when the program still faces so many negative aspects.
He has never been one to make excuses about the NCAA sanctions, and O'Brien does seem to be keenly aware of how important it is to deflect negative attention away from his players when it comes to football matters.
All coaches have to find the right balance of not being overly critical when a team struggles so much during a win, as the Lions did Saturday. O'Brien could rip the players for all their mistakes, but instead he has no problem publicly falling on his sword and taking the blame when things go wrong.
"Monday we go through the film, and I show mistakes that they made, and I certainly show mistakes that I made," he said. "Nobody in this program makes more mistakes than me, and I tell the guys that. That's important."
On many occasions, O'Brien has taken the blame for things that, on the surface, don't appear to be his fault. For instance, he defended the offensive line Tuesday when asked about why the running game struggled.
"The offensive line, when the play was called properly and the right play was put into the game, the offensive line blocked very well," he said. "We have a very good offensive line. The problem was the coaching; starts with me."
A coach taking the blame can work to a degree, but ultimately the players have to be held accountable for when they make mistakes. The public doesn't see that critical side of O'Brien, but the players do.
"He is balanced," center Ty Howle said of O'Brien. "He sees the positives and the negatives because, obviously, you've got to see the negatives and correct them to get any better."
Regardless of the struggles against the Orange, Penn State won the game, and O'Brien emphasized that point Tuesday.
"Winning is the most important thing, and we won the football game," he said. "It's like saltwater; it cures everything."
The coach then added one of his several jokes when he told a reporter, "You're from Pennsylvania, so you don't even know about saltwater, but I'm from the Cape."
Injury update
Tight end Matt Lehman is out for the season after suffering a left knee injury Saturday. He's a senior who began his career at Shippensburg before transferring to Penn State and making the team at a tryout.
"I just absolutely love guys like that, guys that overcame the odds," O'Brien said.
Linebacker Mike Hull (knee) and tight end Kyle Carter (left arm) are day to day. O'Brien said he's not sure if Carter can play Saturday, but he told BTN on Monday that Hull is probable.
The Lions entered the season with great depth at tight end, but Brent Wilkerson (back) is out for the season along with Lehman, and now Carter is ailing. They still have Jesse James and Adam Breneman, but the group is not as strong because of the injuries.
"It doesn't limit us," O'Brien said.
It could change personnel groupings or force other moves, but the coaches are always thinking about contingency plans.
"I don't think it's as much about limiting, it's more about being able to think out of the box and put guys on the right spots," O'Brien said.
4th down confession
O'Brien's best line of the day came when he admitted that going for it on fourth-and-1 in the first quarter was a mistake.
"I will disclose there, the first time we went for it, I thought we got the first down on the previous play," he said.
Then the coach added a classic pop culture reference.
"It was like Belushi in 'Animal House,' just let him go, like when they bombed Pearl Harbor."
For the uninitiated, John Belushi's character stands and proclaims, "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"
The mistake is caught by another character, who says, "Germans?"
"Forget it, he's rolling," a third character says.
News and notes
Garry Gilliam and Adam Gress are still battling for the starting right tackle job. The depth chart this week lists Gilliam as the starter, but O'Brien said it is still an "or" situation.
Redshirt freshman Akeel Lynch didn't appear in Saturday's game at running back.
"See how the game goes," O'Brien said when asked when Lynch could play. "He's a great kid, working hard in practice, and we continue to evaluate that position every day."

8 Inexcusable Behaviors on Public Transportation: Part 2
So yeah, in 1993 psychopath Colin Ferguson killed 6 and wounded 19 on the Long Island Rail Road by opening fire with a semi-automatic weapon. He's not on the list. Neither is Mussolini even though I'm pretty sure he had something to do with trains. And yes we all hate it when train conductors use needle-nose pliers to remove pieces of our small intestines (especially during rush hour) but it's just not the kind of stuff I'm going for here. So behold a gallery of less obvious, but still infuriating, public transportation transgressors.
The Backpackers
Many of you suggested people who wear their backpacks on the bus and subway, and I'd have to agree. Backpacks take up the space of two people and during rush hour every inch of the subway car is valuable real estate. And yet, I've seen tons of seemingly normal passengers completely oblivious to the carnage they're causing to others by their subtle movements from right to left. And even if they're standing still, that still doesn't solve the problem. Wearing your backpack on a subway is like going to a Nickelback concert: it doesn't matter how you behave, once you've made that decision, you're already an ass.
Etiquette dictates that you take it off and hold it down by your feet where there's more room and where it's less likely to nudge. And if not, then I'm sorry to inform you that New York City Ordinance 4.031 now allows passengers assaulted by backpacks to place no fewer than three live scorpions in the offender's backpack while said backpacker obliviously plays with his iPhone or strokes his hipster moustache.
And trust me, you'll never get the smell of 80s has-beens out of your backpack.
The Nail Clippers
I confess. I've done this. I've been late to work and thrown a clipper in my pocket as I headed out for the train and then discreetly trimmed my nails. I mean, what's so gross about nails? You wouldn't freak out if I scratched your back. Well, I mean you might if you didn't ask me to and I just showed up behind you, suddenly running my masculine blogger's hands up and down your shoulder blades until I reached the small of your back. Sorry, I lost myself for a second, but it's only because you're so damn hot, you itchy little vixen.
The point is, nails only seem to be gross when they're separated from the rest of the body. To my mind, if you clip them unceremoniously in your lap and make a small pile that you take with you, it's a victimless crime. But if you overtly go SNAP, SNAP, SNAP, throwing caution and nails to the wind, well then I can't help you. That's just kinda gross. Grosser still? Toenails. I kid you not. Just last week some Jamaican lady started hacking away in the next row (while talking on her cellphone no less). Know what I did? Got vaguely nauseated and didn't think about it again until I dredged up these nightmares for you. Thanks a lot, jackass.
There. Now we're even.
The Pungent Food Eaters
Much like toenail cutting, I don't have a hard and fast line about eating on a train. You have to understand some rides are over an hour long. Some people are getting off of work and may have skipped lunch. Also, most metropolitan train stations I've seen offer a lot of food and no seating. It's not insane to bring a slice of pizza, sandwich, or Big Mac on a train, but use your discretion people. All food is not created equal, especially when you're going to be ingesting it in an enclosed space for a certain period of time.
Judges? No, I'm sorry. This is not appropriate train food. We were looking for "an apple." Yes, "an apple."
So an egg salad sandwich? No. Lamb Vindaloo? No. Curried Onion Fart Blasts? No. It's not rocket science. Nothing that can be smelled by anyone more than a row away. And if you're eating on public transportation we're assuming it's because you're ravenous so suck it down and move on. No luxurious consumption. Remember, the longer you leave it exposed to subway air, the higher the odds that you'll be sprinkling it with rat feces molecules or flying Jamaican toenails.
The Me-First Taxi Sharers
In big cities it's usually yellow cabs with one fare per customer. But in smaller cities and towns, it's not unusual for taxis to take several people in one cab, charging 3 separate fares. And unless you're riding with Lord of the Flies travel, order of drop off is usually decided by either the order you got in the cab or the quickest overall route for the driver. It is not decided upon your belief that you are inherently better than every other passenger in the car. It is not decided by the quality of your suit or your how nice a car you have (when you're not requiring a taxi)
I live walking distance from my station, but last week when I got off the train, I was caught in a downpour with no umbrella. I took a cab. Another gentlemen entered just as the driver was about to take off for my destination which is literally two blocks off the road that leads to the station. Immediately, the gentleman began insisting he go first:
"I'm five minutes away," he said. "Right off SwaimRapesDogs Blvd."
(That's not the actual name of the street, but I am actively lobbying my local representative for a change.)
"You're gonna hit my house first," I said. "You reach my street, CodyHasSTDs Lane, before you even get to SwaimRapesDogs Blvd."
(It should be noted that I do actually live on CodyHasSTDs Lane).
"Yeah I understand that, but that's if you make a right out of here. If you make a left, I'm only five minutes away."
So let's recap here:
1. I was in the cab first;
2. My destination was far closer to the station than his; and
3. I'm lobbying my congressmen to change one of the streets in my town to SwaimRapesDogs Blvd.
The third point is unnecessary I'll admit, but given the first two, I was pretty shocked that I was involved in an argument. In response, I said nothing and just watched the driver take me home first. "I'll rise above this," I said to myself, and then sat down and wrote mean things about the bad man who was a big jerkface. Because I'm very mature.
Some day ... (sigh)

Unless it's smacking me in the face, like when Noah was sick, I sometimes forget to pray for things. Like, I pray, but usually it's for someone that is hurting, or for health, or as things come up, or a wide covering prayer, not too specific. I am still trying to understand the way He provides because there are so many blessings that come into our life, like Jeff's new promotion (by the way, he got a promotion! And was named Manager Of The Year!)
and some other things that are really frivolous but definitely not un-noticed by me. I wonder, if these prayers said quietly in my heart but not out loud are still answered, what could happen if I am actually on my knees?
Not that it works that way, like a God-vending machine. Prayers go in and and I get what I want. Not at all.
But I know He hears me anyway.
How often I feel like maybe I have everything I really need, so anything extra would be... asking for too much? Who am I to ask for anything? My God, I lie next to my child and think, I didn't ask for my child to breathe today yet she has breath. Thank you. I'm so thankful.
What more could I ask for?
And then I close my eyes and really think about it and outside of my head I see that maybe I need to stop thinking it's up to me. What if what's happening to us is in response to someone else's prayer
someone else on their knees, on my behalf?
It's so big.
Life turns and I spin
and I roll with it
and I want to land where He wants me to be.
Which is probably on my knees.

MENTOR, Ohio – When you're talking about battlegrounds in this presidential election, you can't get any closer to the front lines than little Lake County in northeast Ohio, just two hours down the Thruway from Buffalo.
It may be the smallest county in the state, but if Ohio is a key to winning the presidency, as many believe, the pace is set by these fiercely independent voters of Lake County.
"It's one of those counties that's a good miniature look at the state," said William Angel, professor emeritus at Ohio State University at Lima. "It's a swing county, which seems to go whatever direction the state goes."
That's why President Obama made one of his last campaign stops here Saturday in Mentor, the county's largest community.
That's why every Republican presidential nominee since 1992 has stopped in Lake County to rally voters.
And that's why it's not unusual for Lake County households to be divided come Election Day.
"We're split," said Robert Dubbs, 63, a government worker who voted with his partner early Tuesday morning in Mentor. "I voted Republican, he voted Democrat."
That's how it seemed to go across Lake County's towns and cities – from Mentor to Painesville to Madison – as Obama and his Republican rival, Mitt Romney, battled for this little piece of Ohio.
Who will the people of this county support?
"Romney," said Deborah Hart, 58, a home health-care aide. "I don't like Obama's socialistic attitudes."
"Obama," said Bill McCall, 39, a union pipefitter from Mentor. "I'm a working man."
"Romney," said Chuck Bohana, 42, a salesman. "I don't like the guy who is in office now. I don't like his policies and I don't like the direction he's taking this country."
With 100 percent of precincts reporting in Lake County, Romney won with 50 percent of the vote, or 55,813 votes, to Obama's 48 percent and 53,528 votes. Statewide, with 54 percent of precincts reporting, Obama was leading Romney by 50 percent to 48 percent out of the 3.8 million votes counted as of late Tuesday.
Just east of Cleveland along 31 miles of Lake Erie shoreline, Lake County is home to some 230,000 residents, who count former President James A. Garfield as one of its most famous inhabitants.
The county is about 90 percent white and comprises mostly middle- to upper-middle-class households with a median income of nearly $55,000.
At 6 percent, the unemployment rate here is lower than the national average – another factor Lake County voters were weighing Tuesday.
"I think Ohio is better off than it was four years ago," said Jonathan Vaughn, 40, a painter and Obama supporter from Painesville.
Lake County also has a knack for picking presidents.
Over the past half-century, Lake County voters sided with the winning candidate in every presidential election except one, said Dale Fellows, chairman of the Lake County Republicans.
"We've been a real bellwether for the presidential campaign going all the way back to 1960," Fellows said.
It's the independence of the voters that makes Lake County stand out.
A majority of active voters in Lake County – nearly 65 percent – are not affiliated with a party, according to Scott Daisher, director of the Lake County Board of Elections.
And while there are currently about 10,000 more registered Republicans than Democrats, those numbers can easily flip between election cycles, Daisher said.
In fact, George Warnock, a Republican voter since 1981, cast his ballot for Obama four years ago – and voted for the president again on Tuesday.
"I think there's just too many differences between my thinking and [Romney's] thinking," said Warnock, 49, an environmental scientist.
George W. Bush won here in 2004. Obama narrowly won Lake County in 2008.

Holly Herrick can make a from-scratch hollandaise sauce in five minutes, and saute scallops in less. Voila! Main course done.
Add a bit of wilted spinach, a little rice, and everything is finished in no time. No wonder she wrote a book on French sauces.
With me watching Holly make this traditional hollandaise from her new book, "The French Cook: Sauces" (Gibbs Smith, 2013) was the photographer, who was as spellbound as I. He confessed he loved hollandaise and used packaged because he couldn't make it from scratch.
We both frowned. Truly, as Holly shows and tells, it is easy to make hollandaise.
Hollandaise is one of the five French "mother" sauces, and as such it has many variations, Holly explained. Most of us have heard about eggs Benedict, and putting hollandaise on broccoli, but Holly adds a bit of this and that, and, suddenly, a new sauce appears. In our mini-class, she made a saffron hollandaise sauce.
Holly uses a traditional French slope-sided pan, right on her gas stovetop, but concedes any heavy pan will do. She feels in a slope-sided pan it's easier to get to all the edges and bottom with the whisk to try and prevent the eggs from coagulating.
It's the eggs that are tricky about a hollandaise. They are, as my teacher told me, like a love affair. Too hot and they curdle, too cold and they don't go anywhere.
Holly had all her ingredients ready to go when we got there. Lemon juice, egg yolks, butter and, for the saffron sauce, saffron.
First, she whisked the egg yolks in the pan over the heat. It would, she explained to us, take about three minutes until it was thick enough to add the butter. With the butter cut up into pieces, she continued to whisk while adding part of the butter, some lemon, and the rest of the butter, moving the pan off and on the heat until it was thick. A taste, the saffron, some salt and pepper, and it was done. Five minutes flat.
Then she showed us another trick, pouring the hollandaise into a Thermos bottle that would keep it ready for use up to two hours later.
She sauteed some fat fresh local scallops and suddenly we had a dish of scallops with saffron sauce. It could have had some spinach under the scallops, she explained, or the sauce could have gone on any fresh green vegetable, crab, fish, a juicy steak or chop.
Concerned about those who fear making it from scratch, she showed us how to correct a hollandaise that has broken or curdled. An emulsified sauce will separate if the fat is added too quickly, or if the liquid in the pan has evaporated.
She added some butter willy nilly, and the sauce broke as predicted. In seconds, she pulled out some store-bought Dijon mustard, and whisked the broken sauce into 1 tablespoon of the mustard, which reconstituted the emulsion.
She made it look easy, and it was!
Nathalie Dupree is the author of 13 cookbooks, most recently the James Beard award-winning "Mastering the Art of Southern Cooking." She lives in Charleston and may be reached through Nathaliedupree.com.
Sauce Hollandaise
Yields 11/2 cups
3 egg yolks, room temperature
14 tablespoons cool, unsalted butter cut into 1⁄4-inch cubes, divided
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Sea salt or kosher salt
Ground white pepper
Whisk the eggs together vigorously in a slope-sided saucepan over low heat until it starts to thicken, about 3 minutes.
You will begin to see the eggs leaving space at the bottom of the pan as they start to cook.
Remove from the heat and whisk in 2 tablespoons of the butter until melted. Whisk in the lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
Return to the heat, and whisk in and melt the remaining butter in 2-tablespoon increments.
Continue until the butter is gone.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.

One who games. A gamer does not necessarilly have to play video games. I don't understand why every single definition of gamer on this site says they must play video games. Video gamers are not the only type of gamers. There are the gamers who play Dungeons and Dragons (D&D), gamers who do LARPs (Live Action Roleplaying), and gamers who just play board games. Some poker players even consider themselves gamers.
Video Gamer: Dude, why do your friends suck so much at Halo? I thought you said they were all gamers?
D&D Gamer: Well yeah...but they aren't video gamers. We play D&D twice a month.

THIS IS A GREAT MAGAZINE, IT GIVES YOU A TON OF GREAT RECIPES, AND MAKES YOU THINK ABOUT HOW MANY UNEEDED CALORIES YOU INGEST AT EVERY MEAL. THIS MAGAZINE ALLOWS YOU TO MAKE MOST EVERYTHING YOU WANT AND SAVE ON CALORIES. MOST ALL THE RECIPES ARE GREAT SOME (maybe 2%) ARE A LITTLE LIGHT ON FLAVOR, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE LIGHT VERSION VERSUS THE VERY FATTENING ORIGINAL VERSION YOU SAY WELL FOR THE CALORIE SAVINGS IT WAS WORTH IT. TO BEST SUM IT UP....LIKE I SAY 98% OF THE RECIPES TASTE JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL VERSION AND YOU COOK THEM OVER AND OVER AND CAN STILL EAT YOUR DESERT AND TAKE IN FEWER CALORIES THAN THE ORIGINAL DOSH.
I love this magazine for its delicious recipes. Out of all the recipes I've tried, about 85-90% are a hit with my family's tastebuds and are easy to make. I have acquired a lot of excellent dishes that I cook regularly thanks to this magazine. It also provides the latest food & health information, so its a great resource. Hard to believe that the food is light.
great magazine, great recipes, great ideas
This is a consistently good read for me, and I look forward to it's arrival each month.
I really enjoy getting cooking light magazine. I enjoy cooking and eating healthy and the recipes in this magazine fit the bill perfectly! Everything I have tried has been delicious! I heard about it from my coworker who always came in talking about the delicious dinners he had. He let me know he was getting the magazine and so I decided to try it out too!

Cooking Light Magazine Subscription
I'm also a long-time subscriber to Cooking Light magazine. It all began after I gained the dreaded Freshman 15 in college. (Truth be told: It was 20!) I had to make some changes in my life, and the first step was spending several hours of my week in the gym. In addition to working out, I began to get interested in cooking for myself so I wouldn't have to rely on the campus canteens for my meals.
When I happened upon a copy of Cooking Light at a friend's place, I was instantly mesmerized by the delicious looking healthy dishes that were featured. It seemed to be the perfect way to start down my new healthier path in life. Over time the magazine has made many changes, and I have to say that I'm happier with it now than ever before. With it's bright photography and clean layout, it's an easy and enjoyable read. I'm a very visual person, so I love that it has photos with every recipe, and is not too text heavy.
With food as the focus, the dishes seem to come to life on the pages in front of me. While I sometimes enjoy other food magazines, many of them use exotic or hard to find ingredients in their recipes, and the steps involved in the process are too cumbersome for my busy lifestyle. What I love about Cooking Light is that the cooking techniques are usually very simple, the instructions are easy to follow, and finding the ingredients is a cinch.
In addition to the recipes, I also really enjoy the "Editor's Dozen" section, where there are always new products and interesting gadgets I've never seen before. I've purchased many of the featured items for both myself and to give as gifts!
If you're like me and love to cook then be sure to check out the current Cooking Light subscription offers at Magazines.com and follow my adventures at www.eat-drink-smile.com and @betheats on Twitter!

sorry i'm like almost a year late.. but yes i have heard of that manga/anime, i bought the manga used at amazon.com, because i thought it looked really interesting. the art work is really unique, and its an interesting plot... the songs used in the anime are freaken awesome, the OP song LONELY IN GOREOUS, and the ending songs. yea ur right i read that its about fashion and modeling.. it's a romance/drama thing... and i heard its funny .. well i'll see about that! u should read it on mangafox.com if you're still curious.. have u read it yet?
Lol, I can't get enough of that song! Hate to think what my friends might say if they knew... "Thou art I. I am thou. Thou shalt be blessed when creating Personas of the Headphones arcana....."
why would ur friends think ur crazy just for liking lonely in gorgeous??? i'm SOOOOOOOOo addicted to that song!!!! and i love how its half english have japanese.... so awesome
At least they think they are XD. Who cares?! That song owns! "Thou art I. I am thou. Thou shalt be blessed when creating Personas of the Headphones arcana....."
Murasametal.. i thought ur avatar was a girl till u talked about ur friend's being "nacho" guys...... it's hard to tell what gender people are on this site, cus our avatars are confusing (to me at least)
Seriously? It's a guy! It's Sigma Kurogami from Sigma Harmonics......but it can look like a girl, though "Thou art I. I am thou. Thou shalt be blessed when creating Personas of the Headphones arcana....."
is it good?
look at the previous posts, i kinda explained it, like fashion romance...... and go to that link Yuuchigoth posted... it has info about it
wow...sorry but to me it really does look like a guy..oh and why don't u go check out this forum asking abt which one are u : a girl or a guy?
i really like to know that too
which post?
I never seen it
i'd love to know abt it though
Kitty...Meow.... i have... and loved it....
I haven't seen it.--------Anime Beauty Contest Deadline is July 5, 2010. For more information go to my thread http://www.manga.com/forums/anime-beauty-contest

Martinsburg Council votes to raise property tax revenues by 3 percent
Revenue increase OK'd by city
March 15, 2013
MARTINSBURG — Martinsburg City Council members, at their regularly scheduled monthly meeting Thursday, voted to accept council's budget and finance committee's recommendation to raise revenues......
i'd like to have the $$ in fuel used by city policman who drive the patrol HOME out into the county !!! how many cars ?? more than you'd believe..they're all over the place out here( not in the city limits). how many thousands and thousands of MARTINSBURG tax dollars are being wasted here ????? We're not talking State/County police!!

Nobody wants to pay taxes. Everybody wants the trash to be picked up, the street lights to work, the snow to be plowed, the gas lines to work, the cops and firefighters to be paid, rental housing and new construction to be inspected, water to come of taps, parks to be maintained, roads to be built, etc, etc.
If you don't have a solid specific list of big items to cut, shut up.

Where are all of my "Progressive" comrades talking about all of the good that these "revenues" will create?
If I am lucky in a given year, I receive up to a 2% cost-of-living raise. Now, government (with the use of bully force) just decides that they need 3% more! How charitable of them...

The city council has decided to offset the decrease in property value by raising taxes despite the fact that homeowners are under an economic siege. At some point, they will have to consider a reduction in services just like other cities and govt operations. What part of that do they not understand?

Martinsburg continues to decay structurally, morally and administratively. The race to the bottom continues. This once charming hometown type city has been under siege by criminals, drug addicts and politicians that either make hasty decisions because they are at a loss to sustain any real recovery or are simply overwhelmed now because the problems were not addressed in their infancy. Inheritance of previous problems is a plague facing both the local, state and national levels. We need a miracle or a messiah to restore almost every walk of life right now.

We can fix it!!! Raise taxes again!!! Dumb A....

The appraised value of property in the city for next fiscal year went down 6.2 percent, according to the Berkeley County Assessor's Office...There also were some new properties added to the tax rolls, which brought the total value of property within the city to about $680 million.
So property taxes go up...nice. Wise up people and vote them ALL out.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Mass spectrometry has become a key tool for the analysis of biomolecules in applications that range from discovery of biomarkers to the analysis of drug metabolites. While many of the analytical benchmarks of the mass spectrometer—limit of quantitation or LOQ, signal-to-noise or S/N, dynamic range, mass resolution—are important for these applications, the absolute sensitivity is a key factor that drives these characteristics.
As each new product with added sensitivity is introduced to the marketplace, new applications are enabled, and existing applications can be done more rapidly or with more confidence and better precision. High sensitivity also enables the use of additional techniques that provide improved analytical specificity—techniques such as higher mass resolution, ion mobility/mass spectrometry combinations, or added levels of tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS/MS).
Although LC/MS systems were introduced in the 1970s by some vendors, the technique was not widely adopted until atmospheric pressure ion sources such as electrospray and atmospheric pressure chemical ionication became available in the 1980s.
Introduced in 1982, the TAGA 6000 was the first commercial triple quadrupole, and ion evaporation was the first electrospray-like LC/MS interface. Together they enabled LC/MS at liquid flow rates that were compatible with standard LC systems, with ion sources that were optimized for the analysis of polar biomolecules.
The technique of LC/MS/MS with multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) began to be adopted as a standard method of quantitative analysis by the pharmaceutical industry during the late 1980s and early 1990s, and from that time onward the continual need for greater sensitivity began to drive development of improved methods.
Figure 1 charts the growth of sensitivity, beginning in 1982, for high-flow LC/MS instruments (at flow rates of ~1 mL/min) from AB SCIEX. Plotted as absolute sensitivity on the logarithmic vertical axis (normalized to the data point at 1982), each data point represents another product or product platform, and it shows an increase by a factor of nearly one million over this time period. This is a rate that exceeds the technology benchmark growth rate of Moore's Law of transistors (doubling the density approximately every two years).
In 1982, it typically required an injection of nanogram amounts of a compound to obtain good signal-to-noise. Today, as shown in Figure 2, we are able to quantitatively measure injected amounts of drugs or metabolites at the sub-femtogram level. This represents only ~0.001 part-per-trillion (ppt) concentration in the 1 mL/minute of solvent flowing from the LC into the ion source. Considering the challenges in ionizing, desolvating, sampling ions through an orifice, focusing, mass filtering, and detecting, this is an exquisite level of sensitivity that would not have been imagined during the early days of LC/MS development.
The evolution is a result of developments in many areas of the instrument. Significant improvements have been made in creating more ions in the source region by more effectively evaporating the droplets and desolvating the ions in the atmosphere-to-vacuum interface. However, ions in the source need to be sampled through a small aperture into the vacuum system, where they are focused into the entrance of the mass spectrometer.
The sampling aperture typically represents the largest area of ion losses. Consequently, increasing the size of the aperture results in better ion transfer and increased sensitivity. The aperture diameter—or in some instruments, the diameter of the tube through which ions are sampled—has increased from 0.125 mm in 1982 up to a diameter of greater than 0.5 mm on many commercial systems today. This provides more ions, but also requires more efficient vacuum system designs to handle the gas load.
With as many ions as possible sampled through the aperture, the next challenge is to focus them into the mass spectrometer. A larger aperture results in higher gas flow and higher pressure in the first vacuum stage. The gas expands in a supersonic free jet through the aperture, forming a characteristic barrel-shock structure as shown in Figure 3.
The high gas flow and pressure provide a strong drag force on the ions, carrying the ions down the axis at high speeds making conventional focusing optics ineffective.
Radio-frequency (RF) dynamic focusing fields (so-called RF ion guides) have been developed over many years to provide ion focusing in this pressure regime. At higher pressure, there is a need for better ion guides that contain and focus ions. Some designs employ ion funnels or ring guides, which use a series of aperture lenses to converge the ion beam.
In AB SCIEX systems, we have developed the QJet® ion guide, a form of RF quadrupole that focuses the ions while allowing the gas to be pumped away. For the AB SCIEX QTRAP® 6500 System, our new and highest-performance instrument, we have developed a two-section QJet that captures the ion beam from the first orifice and focuses it through the following aperture with an efficiency of approximately 50%, an impressive figure of merit under the circumstances.
As indicated by the growth curve in Figure 1, the current level of sensitivity achieved by the QTRAP 6500 System represents a significant improvement over the earlier generation AB SCIEX QTRAP 5500 system. This improvement is due to the increased efficiency provided by the heating and desolvation in the IonDrive™ Turbo V ion source combined with the larger orifice and two-section IonDrive™ QJet described above.
An important development in this product has also been to increase the dynamic range of the pulse-counting detection system so that count rates of greater than 50 million ions per second can be measured without saturation. This is a major improvement over the more conventional pulse-counting detection systems that were limited to an upper count rate of only about 5 million ions per second.
The combination of a high-dynamic range continuous-dynode multiplier and a new amplifier that provides low noise and allows operation of the multiplier at a relatively low gain has resulted in a dynamic range of greater than six orders of magnitude, which now better matches the dynamic rage of the ion source.
As the analytical needs of the bioanalysis community continue to increase, more and better approaches to generating, sampling, and detecting ions by mass spectrometry will be required. However, the growth curve of sensitivity will become more and more difficult to maintain as we approach the limit of measuring and detecting nearly every ion injected.
The most significant challenges ahead are in developing mass spectrometry techniques that are more selective (to reduce noise from isobaric interferences), faster, and more cost efficient. The need for creative physicists, chemists, and engineers to answer this challenge in instrument design will continue.

Student Experiences
Student Experiences
By design, Learning Communities often engage in activities outside of the classroom in order to expand instruction and intensify learning. Here are some examples of these activities.
Jocelyn Rosewood, a former student, has this to say:
The Learning Community was most definitely a very unique experience. At times the experience was challenging particularly in the aspect of papers because you had to be able to write in order to please two professors of entirely different fields of study. On the other hand I feel that this strengthened my writing abilities.
Within the Learning Community I felt nourished and supported particularly by Barbara Smith. In high school I never wanted to take a psychology class then I came to college interested in a degree in Neuroscience forcing me to take Psychology 105. I never thought that I would like the class but at the end of the semester I found that not only was I good at Psychology and genuinely enjoyed it.
Over winter break I got to pondering the direction I wanted my life to head and looking back on my first semester in college I realized that the chemistry side of Neuroscience was not the direction I wanted to go. Therefore, I decided to change my major to Developmental/Neuroscience Psychology. So for all those future students that wish to take this Learning Community beware you may be drawn over to the dark side of Psychology : )
Overall I felt that this Learning Community was a nice transition from high school to college.
Tyler Seldomridge, another former student, said the following:
The Learning Community was a very useful tool in the education program at Westminster College. By combining two unrelated courses, the teachers are able to teach two subjects in a way that meshes them together, making the learning very enjoyable. It was nice to be able to apply what we were learning to the real world when we went out in the community to work with elementary school students.

The Fast-Track MBA Program
The School of Management's Fast-Track MBA programs are designed to offer students the opportunity to gain a competitive advantage in the job market, while saving time. These programs do not require extensive work experience prior to enrollment and enable students to receive their MBA with only one additional year of study.
Through Binghamton University's Fast-Track programs, students are able to directly progress into their MBA degree while still academically oriented. Many students find it advantageous to focus on their MBA studies full-time early on, rather than taking evening MBA courses part-time at later stages of their careers. The Fast-Track MBA program provides students with the chance to begin their professional careers at a higher level and to utilize the tools gained in the program early in their career tracks. Their newly acquired skills enable them to excel more rapidly in the working environment than many of their counterparts.
The School of Management offers three distinct Fast-Track Options. The Harpur Fast-Track MBA Program and Watson Fast-Track MBA Program are offered in conjunction with their respective schools at Binghamton University. In general, these programs are set up so that SOM graduate coursework is taken during the final semesters of the undergraduate program and fulfills the "free" elective requirements for the undergraduate degree.
Our Management Fast-Track MBA Program requires that students graduate with an undergraduate degree in business from an AACSB-accredited school or its equivalent within five years. If you meet the requirements, this attractive option not only saves time and money, but also moves you onto your career track quickly with the skills needed for success.
