LAKE FOREST Top-ranked Mission Viejo used its regular-season finale to provide another decisive example of how dangerous it can be heading into the Pac-5 playoffs.
Quarterback Ian Fieber threw three touchdown passes in the first half as the Diablos clinched the South Coast League title by overwhelming El Toro, 60-25, on Friday at El Toro High.
"It was important for us to have a game like this before the playoffs," Fieber said. "We have to continue to keep grinding, buy into what the coaches tell us, and stay together as team."
Mission Viejo (10-0, 4-0) completed its second straight undefeated regular season.
The Diablos, ranked No. 2 in the Pac-5, have won 24 consecutive regular-season games dating to 2011.
It is also the Diablos' eighth straight victory over El Toro (4-6, 1-3), a streak that began in 2000.
"We really wanted that undefeated record and this was a good win for us," Diablos coach Bob Johnson said. "This is a great group of kids and it's been a fun year.
"We are now looking forward to the next stage."
Mission Viejo wasted little time taking control, scoring five touchdowns in the opening quarter. Running back Alex Suchesk scored the first on a 2-yard run.
Sean Modster added a 7-yard touchdown reception three minutes later to make it 14-0.
After a 23-yard touchdown run by backup quarterback Hunter Bland and a 1-yard rushing score by Tony Williams that was set up by a blocked punt, defensive back Julian Owens capped the outburst with a 34 yard interception return for a touchdown.
Fieber, who completed five passes for 135 yards, displayed excellent touch on his downfield passes in the second quarter.
He connected on scoring plays of 26 yards to Modster and 56 yards to Jaloni Miller, as the Diablos took a 54-6 lead at halftime.
The Diablos' offense achieved perfect balance in the first half with 338 total yards – 169 passing and 169 rushing.
El Toro quarterback Trey Tinsley completed 23 of 54 passes for 283 yards and three touchdowns and three interceptions.
Receiver Dominic Collins surpassed the 100-reception mark for the season.
He caught nine passes for 104 yards and a touchdown.

September 8th, 2008, 00:23 Posted By: wraggsterHere in the States, Qore subscribers will be able to fling mud across the startled faces of both friends and enemies alike in the Motorstorm: Pacific Rift demo which is due out this week for those who purchased the fourth installment of Sony's online gaming mag. Unfortunately, Qore number four isn't available on the PSN in other territories -- however, a recent news brief from unofficial PlayStation blog Three Speech hints that Europeans will receive the demo soon -- albeit in a fairly unconventional manner.
Three Speech reports that random European PS3 owners will be receiving vouchers this coming Thursday via email which will allow them to download the Pacific Rift demo on PSN. We're not entirely sure why Sony decided upon this "Golden Ticket" approach for the demo's release -- sure, the hype built from all the exclusivity will likely pay off, but will all the disappointment felt by the unchosen really be worth it?
September 7th, 2008, 16:39 Posted By: wraggsterThe Guitar Hero: Aerosmith demo has launched on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 we're told.

September 4th, 2008, 17:21 Posted By: wraggsterWhile we can't say if it represents a general sentiment at Samsung or not, the company's UK director of consumer electronics, Andy Griffiths, sure went out on a bit of a limb in a recent interview with Pocket-lint, with him saying that Blu-ray has, to paraphrase David Bowie, only "five years left," and that he "certainly wouldn't give it ten." He did say, however, that he thought 2008 would be Blu-ray's year, adding that "it's going to be huge", and that Samsung is "heavily back-ordered at the moment." As for Samsung's future after Blu-ray's supposed demise, Griffiths seems to think that OLED will be the next big thing, and he's pegging 2010 as a possible date for it to become mainstream and replace LCD. He didn't offer a prediction as to when it will die out though.

Announced today in Denver, Cambridge Audio has revealed that it too will be producing a BD deck in early 2009. The 640BD will be designed to complement the Azur range of AV receivers, and it will boast full HDMI 1.3 output (including bitstream output of all the latest Dolby / DTS tracks), a full set of analog video outputs, Ethernet, S/PDIF, Toslink and a set of separate, dedicated 7.1 / stereo analog outputs. Unfortunately, that's all the details the company has prepared for this year's Expo, but we'll certainly be hearing more as CES time draws near. Per usual, the full release is after the break.

Just as we were complaining about a lack of innovation from Resident Evil 4 to Resident Evil 5, we get word that the whole point might be moot. At a recent Microsoft Media Briefing, producer Jun Takeuchi said that players could expect a new control system, similar to Gears of War, when they hunted digital zombies at the Tokyo Game Show.
Of course, one could argue that "innovation" isn't necessarily synonymous with "cribbing the controls from another game." But hey, Gears was inspired by Resident Evil 4 in the first place, no? It is, as Sir Elton says, the circle of life.
September 3rd, 2008, 17:14 Posted By: wraggsterWhile playing LittleBigPlanet may be old hat to some of us, you, the commoner, may be getting your hands on a Sackboy as soon as September. That's this month! According to a post from the official PlayStation forums, a public beta test for the PlayStation 3 is planned for sometime this month, the details of which are unfortunately largely detail-free.
There will be a limited public beta test for LittleBigPlanet in September. If it will be possible to "sign up" for this test, full information on how to do so will be made public in advance of the test. Similarly if the test is going to be conducted in an invitation-only we will let you know ahead of time.
That means it could be as simple as downloading a PS3 theme, as Sony did with the Home beta. However, should the powers that be decide that an early look at LittleBigPlanet will require sending in your severed pinky, we suspect the turnout would still be pretty darn good.
September 3rd, 2008, 16:58 Posted By: wraggsterNewly released today:
Aside from the Final Fantasy VII spin off, Drag-On Dragoon, and its sequel Love Red, Ambivalence Black, too is added into the Ultimate Hits series.
The controversial games have caused quite a stir in the gaming community. The kill all action system provided a lot of excitement and flying on the dragon's back is exhilarating, however the plot elements are anything but sunny and cheerful.
Violence and gore are graphically depicted, while revenge takes center role, incest and cannibalism are key issues that fuels plot development. The first game Drag-On Dragoon tells the tale of revenge of a prince from a small small country, the sacrifices he has made and the bitter ends he came to.
The second game takes place 18 years after the events of the original game and wrap up the loose ends that results from the past events. Aside from new heroes, and weapons, old characters such as the black dragon and the tragic villainess Mana showed up again as key characters.
Voiced by a star studded cast and a theme song Hitori by Nakajima Mika, Drag-On Dragoon and its sequel Love Red Ambivalence Black are available as Ultimate Hits versions and are sold at the same price of US$ 34.90 only.

My Favorite Cornbread Recipe
This post was originally published on September 23, 2007. It's one of the oldest recipes on the site and the pictures were in desperate need of an update. Below is the easy recipe for my favorite cornbread.
Let's talk cornbread.
If I go to a restaurant and open the menu and see cornbread listed somewhere, I feel like I've hit the jackpot. Bonus points if it's served in a piping hot cast iron skillet. The absolute best restaurant cornbread I've ever had was at Copper Canyon Grill in Rockville, Maryland. I could eat the entire pan and make it my meal… amazing.
When I make cornbread at home, I gravitate towards pan-baking my cornbread versus skillet baking. For some reason, I've always had better luck with those recipes turning out a bit tastier, and the leftovers tend to stay fresher longer. I've been making this recipe for over eight years now, and it continues to be my go-to when I want to throw together a pan of fresh cornbread.
This is a perfect recipe to keep on hand when you need a quick and easy cornbread. If you keep some corn in the freezer and buttermilk in your refrigerator, you will likely have everything you need to throw this together in less than 10 minutes. All it takes is a bowl, a blender or food processor and a spatula. That's IT!
The resulting recipe is crusty on the outside, moist on the inside and loaded with bits of real corn. I served this on Sunday with my slow cooker BBQ ribs and it was the perfect sidekick.
I'm a cornbread lover for life!

Best Cornbread Recipe
Yield: 10 to 12 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 to 35 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
I've been making this easy cornbread recipe for nearly 10 years - it results in moist, fresh-tasting cornbread each and every time!
1½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon table salt
¼ cup light brown sugar
¾ cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square baking dish (glass is recommended) with non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt until combined; set aside.
3. In a food processor or blender, process the sugar, thawed corn kernels and buttermilk until combined, about 5 seconds. Add the eggs and process until well combined (corn lumps will remain), about 5 seconds longer.
4. Using a rubber spatula, make a well in the center of the dry ingredients; pour the wet ingredients into the well. Fold the dry ingredients into wet, giving the mixture only a few turns to barely combine; add the melted butter and continue folding until the dry ingredients are just moistened (do not overmix!).
5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the surface with a rubber spatula. Bake until deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then invert cornbread onto wire rack, turn right side up and continue to cool until warm, about 10 minutes longer. Cut into pieces and serve.

I'm sorry Michelle, I love your recipes but I couldn't imagine cornbread not made in a cast iron skillet. If only you could replicate that deep golden crust that the bacon fat creates as it fries the batter pouring into the hot cast iron pan, yielding a crisp crust encapsulating an ever moist and delicate crumb – yum!
I was just going to suggest that she heat up oil/bacon grease in the cast iron skillet before adding the mix. That is the way my grandma's always made it, and I agree, so delicious.
My folks put half a stick of butter in the cast iron skillet, and lets it melt in the oven while the oven preheats. It makes all the difference–you don't need it to stay fresh more than a couple days, because it won't be around that long!
Also, I can't begin to say how wrong adding sugar to cornbread is. To each their own, I guess.

MMA Fantasy League!
Members of the MMA Forum, let me invite you to join the first ever MMA Fantasy League.
What the MMA Fantasy League?
The MMA Fantasy League imagines that you are the coach of a team in the forthcoming International Fighting League. There are differences between the real IFL and this Fantasy League variant. Instead of only four teams, the MMA Fantasy League has twenty spread over four divisions of five (and two conferences).
Making up for this gigantic increase in the number of teams will be a list of over four hundred fighters (not only free agents and current IFL members, but also fighters presently in the UFC and PRIDE FC) available to select for your team. To ensure that this is done fairly the league commissioner (myself) will oversee a fighter draft prior to the start of each season.
Just as in the real IFL each team in the MMA Fantasy League consists of fighters from each of the following weight-classes: Heavyweight, Light Heavyweight, Middleweight, Welterweight, and Lightweight. Though in this version of the IFL coaches will select two fighters from each weight-class for injury reasons (explained later).
Coaches are also responsible for selecting their teams name and rule set (PRIDE or UFC) when they apply for membership into the league.
The Draft:
The MMA Fantasy League Draft works the same as any professional draft; coaches are called to select one at a time until the all the teams are fully selected. Coaches may draft there ten fighters in any order they feel necessary.
The full draft list is found in the MMA Fantasy League Draft List Thread.
When a coach is selecting a fighter he should private message the commissioner his selection. The commissioner will then post the coaches selection on the main thread along with a number of previous and upcoming selections. The next coach on the draft list then has twelve hours to make his selection or he will be pushed back. He will still be able to draft fighters while he is being pushed back, but so will the coach(es) directly following him. If a coachs draft pick eventually is pushed to the end of the current round the commissioner will make a selection for him.
It is suggested that everyone create a depth charge of the fighters (in the order they wish to pick them) and Private Message it to the commissioner. This will speed up the drafting process immensely and can be used by the commissioner if a coach disappears or his time runs out.
Expansion Drafts and later Entry Drafts will be discussed when/if the time comes.
Just as with the draft, trades inside the MMA Fantasy League work the same way as on professional sport. Fighters can be traded for other fighters and draft picks (only during the draft). Multi-fighter deals are also a possibility (2 for 2, 2 for 1, etc), but teams must never have more then ten fighters at one time (two in each weight-class). Teams that have more the ten fighters must release fighters into free agency (discussed later) and teams that have less then ten fighters must select fighters from free agency (from the proper weight-class).
All trades must be cleared by the commissioner via Private Message before being ratified. It is suggested that trades are arranged in the same manner and must be Private Messaged to the commissioner by both parties involved.
Free Agency:
Following the conclusion of the draft the unselected fighters will be released into free agency. Coaches may add players from free agency to their team at any time with verification from the commissioner via Private Message. Coaches must also specify which fighter (must be in the same weight-classes) is being released, unless the selection is the result of a player shortage because of a multi-fighter trade.
Teams in the MMA Fantasy League do combat in the same manner as the real IFL. Two teams are chosen to battle each other, and those teams choose five fighters (one in each weight-class) to fight in the impending event. Each event follows the same fighting pattern, Heavyweights vs. Heavyweights, Middleweights vs. Middleweight, etc. Before every fight coaches should send a private message to the commissioner containing the fighters that will be representing their team in the next event. If no Private Message is receive, the best fighters in each weight-class will be selected. There is no crossing of weight-classes.
Fights within the MMA Fantasy Draft are conducted via the commissioners
No Holds Barred: MMA Simulator v 0.97
. The commissioners post containing a fight recap and outcome is final.
I suggest everyone familiarize themselves with this program before the MMA Fantasy League begins.
If a fighter undergoes a serious injury (as determined by the NHB: MMA Simulator v 0.98.) in a match, he will be force to sit out his teams next event. After sitting out the upcoming event he may then return to action.
Joining the MMA Fantasy League:
Joining the MMA Fantasy League is a simple as posting your intent to join within the MMA Fantasy League Teams thread at the Official MMA Fantasy League Forum. Of course, along with the following information:
Team Name:
Rule Set: (Pride or UFC)
Venue: (Name and Location)
Post this and as long as there is room you may join.

Historical Traveler Reviews Torre Guelfa Hotel Florence
Worth it for the view alone!!!
My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights in June.
This is an incredibly beautiful and charming hotel and it is a great location -- right in the heart of Florence.
Sure, maybe the rooms are nothing to write home about. But the reason you are staying here is because it is a 14th-century medieval tower!!
And the view from the tower -- especially at sunset -- is spectacular!! Get a glass of wine, head up there with your camera and you will have memories that will last a lifetime.
I also highly recommend eating at Nella, the restaurant around the corner. Great food, friendly staff and reasonably priced. Antico Fattore, just a block or two away is also very good.
Great stay
We stayed one night at the Torre Guelfa in Sept. and just loved it. Our room was large with the beautiful canopied bed. Location was perfect for easy sightseeing, yet quiet. Best of all though is the tower. You must go up there to watch the sun set over Florence while enjoying a drink - perfect!
Hotel Torre Guefla .... a Gem
A recent trip to Florence found us in the heart of beautiful Florence in a beautiful, well-appointed hotel. Torre Guelfa is not only in a prime location,but provided us with just the right mixture of old world charm and 21st century convenience!
Mixed Reviews Revisited!!
Like a previous reviewer I have mixed emotions about how to fully evaluate this Hotel. I chose Room #15 at Rick Steve's advice. Keeping in mind it was mid-August, the AC was poor: hate to admit it but we moved bed forward to place it under vent, even then we were uncomfortable and we usually don't complain that often.Regarding Location, I don't think you can get better, very close to everything!! Would suggest you stroll over to Ponte Vecchio after dark and be entertained!! Regarding room #15, very steep steps just to enter living area. If friends are staying in hotel or near by the private terrace is worth it, otherwise it was way too hot to enjoy and the view isn't as good as the Medieval tower, which was nice!! I awaken early so I wished breakfast would have been served earlier, 7:30am I think.A quick and easy to locate Resturant can be found by exiting hotel,take a right and turn right at first alley which takes you to Via delle Terme, the resturant is on corner called Trattoria Nella, affordable and tasty! It's possible that if it were October, I might view this hotel a little differently. Also, I've not stayed at any other Florence Hotel to compare. Room size is a lot larger than other European hotels, similar to US hotels, bathroom was small but modern and no smell. The Hotels web-site makes the Hotel seem more charming than it really is. The staff veried in quality, but none were rude.
Odd room layout
We stayed in Room 25 the 2nd week of June 2004. There were 3 single adults. We had one Queen size bed and then one step measuring about 4 inches up to the pull out sleeper. This step was a killer at night to the bathroom. Speaking of the bathroom, the toliet is in a closet by itself. You have to leave there and turn right into the bathroom that has the sinks and tub to wash your hands. This room is very large. This was also the first time in Italy I only got a tub, no shower or curtain. Miniscule bars of soap. The air conditioning worked fine and the wine bar on the roof was small but offered great views. It gets crowded with only 3 tables up there! Overall it met our needs, very loud outside noise but that's pretty much all of Florence I think.
Like being a guest in small palazzio
The public rooms with their palladium windows, tasteful antiques, crown mouldings, classical music, etc. make you feel like a guest in a mansion...It's fun to climb the winding staircase of the tower (very "Frankenstein-esque") and the view is breathtaking for evening cocktails. The room I had, on the 1st floor, across from the front desk was large & grand, with high ceilings & palladium windows...it felt like authentic old world"Tuscana". Steps away from the Ponte Vecchio, I can't wait to stay there again....
Torre Guelfa: super location and relatively quiet
The small Torre Guelfa is located right near the Ufizzi and within walking distance of most everything in Florence. The torre (tower) has magnificent views. In season, guests can enjoy beverages up there. We were there in January (brrr) and got to see snow on the rooftops.Rooms are quaint and bathrooms tiny. Breakfast is served in an attractive room. The public rooms are large and inviting.
Full of charm, friendly staff - a touch of Florentine Life
I've stayed at the Torre Guelfa twice now and recommended it to friends. It has a lot of charm and may not be the smartest of hotels for some people's tastes but it is centrally located and when you climb up to the bar at the top of the Tower you have the most marvellous 360 degree view of Florence in all her glory - the Ponte Vecchio, the Oltarno, San Lorenzo, Via Tornabuoni, Palazzo Vecchio and Piazza della Signoria. Before I get too gushing, the breakfast could do with a little improvement! The airconditioning is a little noisy but in the temperatures last summer it is allowed to be, besides this is Florence not New York! My last room was gorgeous right at the top of the hotel with views over the rooftops to the Piazza della Signoria.
Pros and Cons
I have mixed emotions about the Torre Guelpha. On one hand the public rooms and the much vaunted Tower are absolutely marvelous. Most evenings after dinner I would climb to the top of the tower for the fantastic view of the Duomo, Palazzo Pitti, Palazzo Vecchio, et al. I was even lucky enough to watch a thunder storm over the Tuscan valley.
However, the rooms leave something to be desired. They are dark, old and somewhat tired, although I loved the iron beds with their curtains.
The day we arrived in Florence was probably the hottest day of the year and the air conditioner in our room (never the best) was not functioning at all. After repeatedly asking to have it fixed it was finally taken care of the next day. Additionally the bathroom was smaller than the armoire in the room and had a distinct sewage smell.
The staff was competent but not overly friendly. One last note, they recommended a restaurant called Antico Fattore that was terrific, especially the fried zucchini blossoms, we ate there twice and enjoyed every morsel.
Great Find!
Great find, we stayed on the first floor. The hotel was worth the money and the room was big. The toliet was something to be talked about later.
The watch tower is very romantic and breakfast in the cute room accross from the lobby is perfect. Overall, worth going visiting again, and again.

We walked through the Boboli Gardens, which were mainly trees and shrubs with fountains and an amphitheatre - no blooms this time of year.

Arrivederci Rome Buongiorno Florence
... Dropped of our bags and we were off. We made our way into the Centre and we decided to climb the Duomo - all 414 steps. Have to say it felt like 1014. Everyone started off at a great pace but it soon slowed down thank goodness. The steps up into the cuppolo were very steep - I had to come back down backwards. My hips and ankle are not amused but they'll get over it - you only live once.
Today we left Siena. We left at around 830 and snuck out of town
before the traffic got bad though it was a Sunday so perhaps we
worried for nothing. I had a drive for the first part of the day.

Groton - Joe C. Quaratella Jr. cut the hair of a young man Wednesday who graduates from officer training school on Friday but can't move to his next training program because his paperwork's tied up.
Quaratella, owner of Nautilus Barber Shop near the Naval Submarine Base in Groton, met people who tried to shop at the commissary on the base, but found the grocery closed.
"The government has had three years to settle this," Quaratella said.
Nearly 1,300 people arrived to work Tuesday at the sub base and the Connecticut National Guard facilities, only to find they had to wrap things up and leave.
They left not knowing when they'd be back after the federal government shut down for the first time in 17 years.
The Republican-controlled House of Representatives passed a continuing resolution to extend the current spending rates for six weeks but also to delay the Affordable Care Act, which Senate leaders would not agree to.
The government closed at midnight Monday.
Ed Ettinger of Mystic, interviewed Wednesday in the barber shop, said he had tickets to fly to Annapolis, Md., though he wasn't sure what he'd end up doing.
"I am heading to the now non-existent Navy-Air Force game this weekend," he said. It was unclear whether the game would go on as planned.
He said there was plenty of blame to go around among federal officials.
"I'm quite upset because I feel the Republicans are being held as the villains but the other side won't compromise," he said.
Sean Bosselman was among three members without at least one of their jobs. Bosselman, interviewed outside Groton Head Start, said he bagged groceries at the commissary until Friday. Bosselman's brother, who works full-time at the commissary and at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, has three young children and is out of one job.
Sean Bosselman also said his father, who works in supplies on the base, is temporarily not working.
"Honestly, I don't even know what happened," Sean Bosselman said. "They're not really saying much." As for the close of the commissary, he added, "Stop & Shop is going to be loaded."
Alysha Uhler of Norwich, who works at the Groton Stop & Shop, said Wednesday the store was busier than usual.
"Yesterday we had lines down the aisles," she said. Employees were hustling to keep up with the demand, she said.
At the barber shop, Quaratella cut hair while commenting on the lack of federal wisdom. He's run the shop more than 50 years and cut the hair of Clarence B. Sharp, the former mayor for whom Groton's highway is named. Quaratella's also seen his share of U.S. presidents.
"This president couldn't run the Poquonnock Bridge Fire Department," he said, referring to the local fire district near bankruptcy.
Customer Steve Skrabacz, who works for Electric Boat and lives in New London, said the federal government standoff has become like a game of chicken.
"Like who's going to flinch first," he said. "It's a shame, but that's how it works, I suppose."

This well written monograph is based on continuous studies with the cardiotachometer, conducted on 356 persons over periods of from twelve to twenty-four hours. An interesting historical review of pulse mensuration introduces the work. This is followed by an intimate, lucid description of the cardiotachometer, the technic of cardiotachometry, the difficulties encountered in its use, and the means of obviating these. The normal heart rate during waking hours, the basal rate, the minimum rate, the range of normal heart rate, the rate during sleep, the effect of exercise, eating, body functions and mental and emotional activities on heart rate, the rate during various anesthetics and operations and the rate in organic and functional heart disease and in exophthalmic goiter are appropriately discussed and correlated with a review of the pertinent literature. Historical touches are included from time to time. Their observations give a more truly representative picture of the heart

Kitchen Remodeling
Your Dream Kitchen Versus Everyone Else's
Survey reveals 'What people really want most in their kitchen'. Not only is the info fun, but it may have a substantial impact on your resale value. After all, trends in kitchen countertops, and wall colors, and cabinet styles will shift and change, but the fundamental fixtures and features of homes change more gradually.
Grill Up a Grin This Summer
According to the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association (HPBA), more than 75 percent of all U.S. households include an outdoor grill or smoker. Grills are frequently included in outdoor living spaces, which are a popular home improvement trend in 2014. "The kitchen has always been the heart of the home," says Mitch Slater, owner of Danver Stainless Steel Cabinetry in Wallingford, Conn., in DIY Networks'." And that idea is happily expanding to outdoor living as more homeowners create or remodel outdoor living areas with fully functional kitchens.
The 1, 2 Counter Punch: Functionality & Warmth
While a lot of planning and research can go into the perfect kitchen design, it results in a warm, functional space that invites the conversations, cooking collaborations, and memories a good kitchen can foster. Warmth and functionality in your kitchen can be enhanced by mindfully choosing the dimensions and features of your cabinets and counters.
'Triangulate' the Perfect Kitchen
There's a lot of measuring that takes place in a kitchen: cups of flour, tablespoons of oil, and teaspoons of sugar. But before any of that can take place, the "recipe" for a perfect kitchen requires its own measurements. Creating your dream kitchen, just like preparing a delicious meal, requires careful attention to the proportions from the beginning to get the result you want.

Featuring three peer-reviewed articles on monoclonal antibody (MAb) analysis from the latest issue of our Biopharma Solutions enewsletter (more on the enewsletter plus a link on subscribing to it at the end of this post).
Article: Accurate Determination of Succinimide Degradation Products Using High Fidelity Trypsin Digestion Peptide Map Analysis
The formation of byproducts, such as succinimide, is quite common during the MAb degradation process and, therefore, need to monitored. In this journal article, Genentech scientists detail their research in the detection and characterization of succinimide-containing variants in MAbs to determine their functional effects on biological activity. They used our mass spectrometer (Thermo Scientific LTQ-XL Orbitrap Mass Spectrometer) to perform high-fidelity peptide mapping and used the resulting high resolution/accurate mass (HR/AM) MS data to detect and estimate levels of each succinimide variant species.
Article: Enhancement of therapeutic monoclonal antibody production in CHO cells using 30Kc6 gene
When manufacturing MAbs, optimizing cell cultures is essential to maximize MAb production and improve product quality, especially with large-scale cultures. In this study, researchers discovered that you can prolong cell life span by harvesting cells that over-express anti-apoptotic genes and then depriving these lines of serum during the culturing process. By growing these specialized reengineered CHO cultures in serum-free medium, researchers were able to inhibit cellular apoptosis and increase MAb production.

Article: Characterization of a unique IgG1 mAb CEX profile by limited Lys-C proteolysis/CEX separation coupled with mass spectrometry and structural analysis
Increased regulatory expectations on the characterization of MAb impurities and charge heterogeneity make it essential to compile a complete stability profile of the biologic in the drug development process. In this study, Amgen researchers used our protein cation-exchange column (Thermo Scientific Dionex ProPac WCX-10) column to identify a unique MAb charge variant profile and take a more in-depth look at the protein's stability. This particular aglycosylated MAb exhibited an unusual cation-exchange chromatography (CEX) profile, highlighted by a heightened amount of acidic species. The ProPac WCX-10 column proved to provide the sensitivity and resolution required to separate this unique profile. When coupled with MS, the method provides comprehensive stability analysis that can be used for characterizing MAbs. (Here is a downloadable 2-page PDF of Tips & Tricks Guide on Improving the Performance of the ProPac WCX-10 column.)

With Notre Dame and UCLA hitting rough patches the past few years, I went researching to find USC's biggest rivals as of right now?
I considered results in the past five years, and how these results impacted the Trojans' seasons. Also playing a role is how good it feels to win a game against a certain opponent, because we all know, the bigger the rival, the sweetest the victory tastes.

Bright Lights, Flop City
Working at a glossy magazine, chasing women, reading colleagues' email and longing for lunch with the boss.
In the enduring quest myth, the plucky hick leaves the family hearth to seek his fortune in the big world. He encounters fearsome masters, avaricious sirens and other perils but survives and prevails with the love of a good woman. Then there is the counter-myth, in which he is crushed and ends up befuddled in a puddle of flop sweat. Guess on which library shelf "Lost on Treasure Island" should be stashed?
Steve Friedman's new book could be mistaken for a roman à clef about the magazine business called "The Devil Wears Zegna." A lot of it takes place in the sleek offices of GQ—Conde Nast's male counterpart of Vogue—where our hero alternately preens and cringes under the dread stare of the editor, Art, who, like Bono, needs only one name. But before long, it becomes clear that "Lost on Treasure Island" is actually an addiction memoir in drag.
Like other confessional authors, Mr. Friedman tries to disarm readers by a brave show of candor about the character defects his narrative is shortly to unfurl in punishing detail. "Everything here is true," he proclaims in a prefatory note. "True, as in, it happened. . . . Almost all of it. Just about everything."
We first meet Mr. Friedman, fresh off the plane from St. Louis (where he has been fired as editor of the local monthly slick for unspecified reasons) as he goes to an audition lunch with one of Art's deputies. "I don't mention," he reports, "that the writer who told the GQ editors about me is the old boyfriend of an editorial assistant I slept with when she was living with a different old boyfriend, or that at approximately the same time I also slept with the woman's boss."
He gets the job—editing GQ's grooming and fitness section—even though it turns out that in daylight the gray suit he wore to New York was lime green and that he is tormented on the way back to the GQ offices by a mocking street mime, who whispers "nice suit."
Lost on Treasure Island
By Steve Friedman
(Arcade, 304 pages, $24.95)
Embarking on one of the more ignominious careers in magazine lore, Mr. Friedman does 38 drafts of his maiden piece, an 800-word "Babe of the Month" on the "minxlike" actress Mary-Louise Parker. He turns in 6,000 words for a 1,500-word profile of another actress, Barbara Seagull (formerly Hershey). He savages the Christian pop singer John Tesh when Art instructs him: "Make it meaner!" Mr. Tesh sends a note: "You are a liar and a cheap imitation of a journalist." Mr. Friedman blithely hacks into his colleagues' email.
All the while, he is using his "Personal Best" section to meet perky PR women for grooming and fitness products and to get them into bed—which they seem crazed to do in exchange for ink in GQ. He even falls desperately in love with one, "a woman who looks like a major-market weather girl." In fact, when he isn't moping about why Art won't invite him for lunch in his "personal" leather booth in the Grill Room of the Four Seasons, Mr. Friedman is busy chasing tail.
We are introduced to a cavalcade of women he has sex with—younger, older, Russian, American, married, separated, single, smart, not so smart. He is ostensibly hunting for Mrs. Friedman. Even a decade of ministrations from his Hungarian therapist fails to help. This may be because her treatment plan offers a choice of psychotherapy or a psychic reading.
He thinks that he has finally found Ms. Right—on the Internet, as it happens—in "Violet," as he calls her, a celebrated poet and best-selling memoirist with a toilet mouth. Mr. Friedman and Ms. Right exchange voluminous email reading lists and have deli dinner at which the poet pulls pieces of hot pastrami from her sandwich and stuffs them in her mouth. In the end, she goes back to an old flame—as a remarkable number of Mr. Friedman's potential mates do after flings with him.
He drools over some of his conquests, especially that PR woman, who flashes him in her black silk kimono while instructing him how to flatter Art. But Mr. Friedman can't resist savaging or ridiculing practically everyone else he encounters. He describes in pitiless detail a nightmare Thanksgiving with the family of his latest love, a woman with an autistic child. He peeks as she takes furtive nips from airline miniature liquor bottles she hides in her purse.
He even rats out his boss—Art Cooper, the longtime editor in chief of GQ, who died in 2003 not long after suffering a massive stroke in the Four Seasons booth to which he'd never invited Mr. Friedman. "Art accepts free clothes from designers GQ covers," he tattles.
Early on, Mr. Friedman mentions that he had spent a month in drug and alcohol rehab while in his 30s and no longer drinks. Besides womanizing, he has a fierce addiction to programs whose daily meetings attract those seeking spiritual realization, especially troubled women.
In the last laps of "Lost on Treasure Island," banished from GQ and freelancing for women's and outdoor magazines, he is attending several of these meetings a day. Afterward, he and his wingman, an unappetizing fellow he calls "the Angry Belgian," repair to a diner where they slurp coffee and make fun of the other participants, among them "Clinically-Insane but Smoking Hot Melissa," "Soft-Talking Probably a Lesbian Stacy" and "Jesus Juliet."
At one meeting, he encounters "the Fat Man," a beefy grotesque in black leather, who shares a story about how he was talked down from a homicidal rage by a buddy who urged him to eat a cheeseburger and take a nap. It worked, and the Fat Man instructs the group: "We are all lonely cheeseburger whores."
Just in time for the last chapter, Mr. Friedman has a convenient, faux-Salinger epiphany. Standing before a large meeting, he realizes that "all we have is each other . . . love is what's important . . . I want to tell them that I'm the Fat Man, that the guy in the back row is the Fat Man, that we're all the Fat Man . . . and that we can all be saved."
But when he addresses the group, he can't get beyond: "I'm Steve . . . I . . . I . . . " Lost, indeed.
Mr. Kosner is the author of "It's News to Me," a memoir of his career as the editor of Newsweek, New York magazine, Esquire and the New York Daily News.

Cooking with Linux - Because Nothing Says High Performance Like a Good Race
Repeat what you just told me, François. No! Don't tell me that! Yes, François, I know I told you to repeat what you told me, but I was sincerely hoping I was mistaken and that I had heard something entirely different. Something like, "Patron, I lost the key to the filing cabinet", not, "I lost the key to the wine cellar." In my first restaurant job, François, this would have been considered a firing offense. No, mon ami, I am not going to fire you, but this is terrible! What shall we serve our guests?
Non! I see them walking toward the restaurant now. Quickly, François, think of something. Why you? Because you locked up the wine cellar minutes before opening time, then proceeded to lose the key. That's why. Quoi? Serve beer from my personal réfrigérateur de bière? That is not a bad idea at all, mon ami. You live to serve another day, non? Don't look so hurt, François. We have guests. Quickly!
Ah, welcome, everyone, to Chez Marcel, where fine Linux fare is served with the most excellent wines from one of the world's premier wine cellars—that is, except tonight. It seems my faithful waiter has lost the keys to the wine cellar. Never fear, mes amis, though I love that wondrous liquid fruit of the grape, your Chef also enjoys a good beer, be it lager or ale. So, tonight's menu will be accompanied by selections from my own réfrigérateur de bière. Please, sit and make yourselves comfortable. François can offer you several excellent selections, all favorites of mine, including Alexander Keiths' India Pale Ale, Kilkenny Irish Cream Ale, Sleeman's Original, Unibroue Maudite and several others.
As you know, mes amis, this issue's theme is high performance, which we all know can refer only to racing and automobiles. If the words high performance and Linux don't immediately generate the same association in your mind, you should know that in point of fact, Linux and car racing go very well together. The 2007 Indianapolis 500 featured the first ever Linux-sponsored car. The brainchild of Ken Starks, aka helios, the Tux500 Project succeeded in its aim to raise enough money to place Tux, the familiar Linux mascot created by Larry Ewing, on the hood of an Indy car. For more details, go to www.tux500.com.
In honor of this momentous event, the first race game on tonight's menu, SuperTuxKart, features the very same Tux at the wheel. SuperTuxKart, maintained by Joerg Henrichs, is an updated and enhanced version of the original TuxKart, created by Steve Baker. If you've played the original, you'll be impressed by the new, hugely improved, SuperTuxKart. The game features slick new graphics, new tracks, cool characters, racing adventures and more. You take the controls as one of several characters, including Tux, Penny (his friend), Mr. Ice Block, Sushi the Octopus (Figure 2), Yeti and others. You can get SuperTuxKart from supertuxkart.berlios.de.
Your next step is to choose whether you want to race on your own (for practice) or enter a race with other players. These can be other humans (masquerading as SuperTuxKart characters, of course), or they can be computer AI players. Once your cast is assembled, it's time to select a race type and course. You can indulge in a Grand Prix event that takes you through all 13 courses, a handful, or simply go for a single race and select a time trial.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Reliever Heath Bell and right-hander Brian Bannister were also mentioned as members not on the team, but neither has been with the team for a week. Both were sent home, along with Mike Pelfrey and Philip Humber, as the team readied mentally for the playoffs. The roster must be finalized by 10 a.m. ET Wednesday.
Backup infielder Anderson Hernandez and third-string catcher Mike DiFelice are still with the team.
Milledge, widely considered the team's top prospect entering the season, finished his first major league experience batting .241 with four home runs and 22 RBI in 56 games.
Not happening: It would have been an interesting matchup, had the Dodgers selected Greg Maddux to pitch Game 2 of the Division Series at Shea Stadium on Thursday, pitting the 40-year-old right-hander against former teammate and golfing buddy Tom Glavine.
But the two will have to settle for pre-game pleasantries and icy stares from across the field. Glavine is getting the call in Game 2, but the Dodgers will save Maddux for Game 3 on Saturday, instead opting to use left-hander Hong-Chih Kuo on Thursday.
Looking ahead: At SI.com, Jon Heyman reports that the entire Mets coaching staff has been told it will be returning for 2007, and states that the next step would be giving Randolph a much-deserved pay boost.
That, of course, is barring outside movement – Mets infield coach Manny Acta has been named as a potential candidate for a number of managerial openings in recent weeks, with his solid performance in the World Baseball Classic not overlooked by many.
Picks: The Daily News' Bill Madden sees the Mets bounced in five games, with the Dodgers moving on to the NLCS … The New York Post sees the Mets using 'sticks, speed and Shea' to their advantage, then predicts New York wins the NLDS in four games.
The Wright Flight: David Wright's Delta plane, a MD-88 that will serve New York, Washington and Boston, was dedicated Monday at LaGuardia Airport. The event was just the latest in a series that has been dizzying, the 23-year-old third baseman said.
"To be put in a situation of starting in an All-Star Game at 23, to being on Letterman, to having your name on a plane, it doesn't hit you," he told The New York Times.
On tap: The Mets will work out at Shea Stadium at 1 p.m. ET Tuesday. The Dodgers are in town and will take the field at 3 p.m. ET.
