Intraoperative Imaging
Dear Sir or Madam,
During an operation it can be very useful to see whether a stent or implant fits the patient perfectly. This is made possible by intraoperative imaging. But which equipment can be used for this purpose and is it worthwhile for hospitals to invest in this technology? For an overview, have a look in our current topic of the month

Intraoperative imaging - patients in the focus
Topic of the Month
Intraoperative imaging has already been established in vascular surgery, but is also used in other medical areas. It enables a gentler treatment and offers more therapy options. But it is also a very expensive method, because the construction of a hybrid OR requires intense planning and training for the complete personnel involved. Learn in our current Topic of the Month September why it still pays well.

Congrats, BGS! Pad Thai Popcorn From Food Wishes
Burwell General Store has a whole new look and feel! I've relaunched the site, incorporating more adventure and fun into the food! Fellow food blogger, and I daresay partner in crime, Chef John of Food Wishes stopped by to say hi with a delicious treat for us:
Welcome back, Burwell General Store! Congratulations on the relaunch, the great new look, and most of all, for embracing the concept of food as adventure-enhancing accessory. Famed North Pole and Antarctic explorer Roald Engelbregt once said, "Adventure is just bad planning." While that may be true for half-frozen Norwegian explorers, when it comes to food, it's the "polar" opposite. With good planning, even the most insipid snacks can become adventurous, and this Pad Thai popcorn is a prime example.
Instead of bringing along some sleepy bag of plain popcorn, explore the Asian aisle of the nearest grocery store, and pick up the ingredients to make this seriously addictive treat. If you do make this for your next adventure, be sure to let it cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Also, don't add the cilantro until you're ready to eat, as the moisture will make the popcorn go soggy, which will turn this into more of a misadventure.
Special thanks to Christianna for allowing me to share this exciting snack, and I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I'm sure you're going to enjoy Burwell General Store 2.0!
–Chef John, Food Wishes
Recipe and photo reposted with permission from Chef John, Food Wishes Video Recipes. His really awesome post and video is found in its entirety here.
"Pad Thai" Popcorn
Ingredients for about 8 cups:
2 tsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup popping corn kernels (need roughly 8 cups prepared popcorn)
1 cup very finely chopped dry-roasted, salted peanuts
For the sauce:
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup corn syrup
2 or 3 tsp fresh lime juice
1 tbsp freshly grated lime zest
1 1/2 tbsp Asian fish sauce
1 rounded tablespoon Sambal red chili sauce, or very finely diced fresh hot chilies
generous 1/4 teaspoon baking soda (not baking powder)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line baking sheet with foil sprayed with non-stick oil, or a baking mat.
Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a large saucepan. Add popcorn; cover and cook, shaking often, until popped, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl, leaving unpopped kernels in the pot. Add the chopped peanuts.
Combine brown sugar, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, corn syrup, lime juice, and fish sauce in a large saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and quickly stir in sambal, lime zest, and baking soda. Quickly pour over popcorn, stirring with a spatula to coat evenly. Transfer popcorn to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, tossing with a spatula every 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely before serving or storing. Toss with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.

Audi car, truck, or SUV owners have become used to a certain level of sporty handling when driving their S4 around town. Make no mistake, you bought your S4 because you wanted to buy long-lasting quality and dependability both rolled up into one vehicle. You bought your S4 because its sporty handling and German engineering appealed to your senses; so why would you settle for second rate when it comes to superior quality auto parts? Your Audi dealership isn't the only place to locate genuine or original equipment quality repair parts to fix your S4.
Heat is every engine's enemy, and liquid coolant always expands when it gets too hot. Your Audi S4 is operating at a temperature close to 200-degrees Fahrenheit, and in order to stop it from boiling the pressure must be around 15-20psi. That means your Audi S4 coolant expansion tank will need to retain a fixed amount of liquid coolant. If you find a crack in the coolant reservoir, then you are going to lose coolant quickly.
Ordering new Audi parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement S4 parts on the internet. Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents on the phone with enough expertise to help you select the correct Audi S4 part for your needs.

I do have to say I have a soft spot for monster movies. It's the kid in me, really. You could have the most boring premise in the world but as soon as the word "monster" is uttered, you've got my attention.
Thus the reason I took note of a press release we got this past weekend for a new film called Scourge, directed by Sasquatch and Ripper II helmer Jonas Quastel.
An ancient evil escapes from it's primitive containment system and begins making life difficult for the residents of a small town. The beast finds it's way inside a host body and assumes control of motor functions, driving the person's body to need massive amounts of calories. Eventually the beast leaves the host body, and with it the remains of the innards it's been feeding on. Needless to say, it's not pretty.
Scourge is on the road to AFM for distribution, but on the way the producers shot Dread Central a look at some pics from the film, most of which involve some sort of gory mess. Cause that's how we roll! God I'm hip!
Check out more pics below and over on the film's page at PHD Productions' site. Keep it here for more info on Scourge very soon!
Wonder what's holing up inside you in the Dread Central forums!

Author | exchange4media Mumbai Bureau | Monday, Nov 10,2008 5:29 AM
The Indian Readership Survey (IRS) has shown a decline trend across most publications and a severe drop for magazines. The data available with exchange4media show figures of as many as 161 magazine titles. Of these, only 19 titles have shown growth. And of these, 13 publications have shown single digit growth. According to media observers, one reason why magazines had been launching titles despite the decline in readership was the combined market share that a particular group could then offer.
Some of the magazines that have shown the highest growth include Malayalam magazines Nana and Mathrubhumi Illustrated Weekly. With Tamil magazines like Mangayar Malar, Aval Vikatan and Deviyin Kanmani also among the top order of the growing titles, media observers stated that it did appear that at least the South publications were still able see more numbers coming in.
Harish Shriyan, Managing Partner, OMD India, explained, "There are magazines that are doing well too in languages like Hindi and so on. Femina launching a Hindi title shows that publications are still expecting growth from the genre, and they may see it too. On the overall scene, magazines across languages are an important medium."
Manoj Malkani, Business Director, Mindshare, however, was of the opinion that it would still be wrong to assume that the growth trend was unique to south publications. He said, "There also are Hindi, Gujarati and English titles that have grown. But the bigger point really to note is that the more niche titles from the larger groups like Outlook Traveller have grown."
"These magazines see growth even when the mainline title itself has seen loss. In a sense that explains why magazine publishing houses have still been on a launching spree despite the constant decline that the genre has been seeing. On the overall level, there is still the opportunity to aggregate audiences and perhaps that is one more way for magazines to grow," explained Malkani.

Happy Birthday Mr. Rogers: 35 Facts about Mr. Rogers and Why He Was Amazing
In 1969, Fred Rogers appeared before the United States Senate Subcommittee on Communications. His goal was to support funding for PBS and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, in response to significant proposed cuts by President Nixon.
Here's his acceptance speech for a Lifetime Achievement Award in 1997
It's also super long, but please read this as it's amazing.
ONCE UPON A TIME, there was a boy who didn't like himself very much. It was not his fault. He was born with cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is something that happens to the brain. It means that you can think but sometimes can't walk, or even talk. This boy had a very bad case of cerebral palsy, and when he was still a little boy, some of the people entrusted to take care of him took advantage of him instead and did things to him that made him think that he was a very bad little boy, because only a bad little boy would have to live with the things he had to live with. In fact, when the little boy grew up to be a teenager, he would get so mad at himself that he would hit himself, hard, with his own fists and tell his mother, on the computer he used for a mouth, that he didn't want to live anymore, for he was sure that God didn't like what was inside him any more than he did. He had always loved Mister Rogers, though, and now, even when he was fourteen years old, he watched the Neighborhood whenever it was on, and the boy's mother sometimes thought that Mister Rogers was keeping her son alive. She and the boy lived together in a city in California, and although she wanted very much for her son to meet Mister Rogers, she knew that he was far too disabled to travel all the way to Pittsburgh, so she figured he would never meet his hero, until one day she learned through a special foundation designed to help children like her son that Mister Rogers was coming to California and that after he visited the gorilla named Koko, he was coming to meet her son.
At first, the boy was made very nervous by the thought that Mister Rogers was visiting him. He was so nervous, in fact, that when Mister Rogers did visit, he got mad at himself and began hating himself and hitting himself, and his mother had to take him to another room and talk to him. Mister Rogers didn't leave, though. He wanted something from the boy, and Mister Rogers never leaves when he wants something from somebody. He just waited patiently, and when the boy came back, Mister Rogers talked to him, and then he made his request. He said, "I would like you to do something for me. Would you do something for me?" On his computer, the boy answered yes, of course, he would do anything for Mister Rogers, so then Mister Rogers said, "I would like you to pray for me. Will you pray for me?" And now the boy didn't know how to respond. He was thunderstruck. Thunderstruck means that you can't talk, because something has happened that's as sudden and as miraculous and maybe as scary as a bolt of lightning, and all you can do is listen to the rumble. The boy was thunderstruck because nobody had ever asked him for something like that, ever. The boy had always been prayed for. The boy had always been the object of prayer, and now he was being asked to pray for Mister Rogers, and although at first he didn't know if he could do it, he said he would, he said he'd try, and ever since then he keeps Mister Rogers in his prayers and doesn't talk about wanting to die anymore, because he figures Mister Rogers is close to God, and if Mister Rogers likes him, that must mean God likes him, too.
As for Mister Rogers himself…well, he doesn't look at the story in the same way that the boy did or that I did. In fact, when Mister Rogers first told me the story, I complimented him on being so smart—for knowing that asking the boy for his prayers would make the boy feel better about himself—and Mister Rogers responded by looking at me at first with puzzlement and then with surprise. "Oh, heavens no, Tom! I didn't ask him for his prayers for him; I asked for me. I asked him because I think that anyone who has gone through challenges like that must be very close to God. I asked him because I wanted his intercession."
—he turned into Mister F*** Rogers. This was not a bad thing, however, because he was in New York, and in New York it's not an insult to be called Mister ** Anything. In fact, it's an honorific. An honorific is what people call you when they respect you, and the moment Mister Rogers got out of the car, people wouldn't stay away from him, they respected him so much. Oh, Margy Whitmer tried to keep people away from him, tried to tell people that if they gave her their names and addresses, Mister Rogers would send them an autographed picture, but every time she turned around, there was Mister Rogers putting his arms around someone, or wiping the tears off someone's cheek, or passing around the picture of someone's child, or getting on his knees to talk to a child. Margy couldn't stop them, and she couldn't stop him. "Oh, Mister Rogers, thank you for my childhood." "Oh, Mister Rogers, you're the father I never had." "Oh, Mister Rogers, would you please just hug me?" After a while, Margy just rolled her eyes and gave up, because it's always like this with Mister Rogers, because the thing that people don't understand about him is that he's greedy for this—greedy for the grace that people offer him. What is grace? He doesn't even know. He can't define it. This is a man who loves the simplifying force of definitions, and yet all he knows of grace is how he gets it; all he knows is that he gets it from God, through man. And so in Penn Station, where he was surrounded by men and women and children, he had this power, like a comic-book superhero who absorbs the energy of others until he bursts out of his shirt.
ONCE UPON A TIME, Mister Rogers went to New York City and got caught in the rain. He didn't have an umbrella, and he couldn't find a taxi, either, so he ducked with a friend into the subway and got on one of the trains. It was late in the day, and the train was crowded with children who were going home from school. Though of all races, the schoolchildren were mostly black and Latino, and they didn't even approach Mister Rogers and ask him for his autograph. They just sang. They sang, all at once, all together, the song he sings at the start of his program, "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" and turned the clattering train into a single soft, runaway choir.
HE FINDS ME, OF COURSE, AT PENN STATION. He finds me, because that's what Mister Rogers does—he looks, and then he finds. I'm standing against a wall, listening to a bunch of mooks from Long Island discuss the strange word—a foreign word—he has written down on each of the autographs he gave them. First mook: "He says it's the Greek word for grace."Second mook: "Huh. That's cool. I'm glad I know that. Now, what is grace?" First mook: "Looks like you're gonna have to break down and buy a dictionary." Second mook: "What I'm buying is a ticket to the Lotto. I just met Mister Rogers—this is definitely my lucky day." I'm listening to these guys when, from thirty feet away, I notice Mister Rogers looking around for someone and know, immediately, that he is looking for me. He is on one knee in front of a little girl who is hoarding, in her arms, a small stuffed animal, sky-blue, a bunny.
"Remind you of anyone, Tom?" he says when I approach the two of them. He is not speaking of the little girl.
"Yes, Mister Rogers."
"Looks a bit like…Old Rabbit, doesn't it, Tom?"
"Yes, Mister Rogers."
"I thought so." Then he turns back to the little girl. "This man's name is Tom. When he was your age, he had a rabbit, too, and he loved it very much. Its name was Old Rabbit. What is yours named?"
The little girl eyes me suspiciously, and then Mister Rogers. She goes a little knock-kneed, directs a thumb toward her mouth. "Bunny Wunny," she says.

Revenues Revenues from the Company's Fiber-To-The-Premises ("FTTP") business grew 34.8% to $4.9 million in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012, as compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2011. FTTP revenues represented 32.7% of consolidated revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012, as compared to 24.6% of consolidated revenues for the fourth quarter of 2011. Consolidated revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 were $14.9 million, a 1.6% increase compared to $14.7 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2011, mainly attributed to the growth of the Company's FTTP business. For the year ended December 31, 2012, revenues from the Company's FTTP business grew 39.9% to $18.2 million from $13 million last year. Consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $59.9 million, an increase of 3.8% compared to consolidated revenues of $57.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Customer Expansion The Company's total number of FTTP customers as of December 31, 2012 was 9,460 compared to 7,267 FTTP customers as of December 31, 2011, representing an increase of 30.2%.The increase in the Company's customer base is a result of our expansion into additional communities and increased penetration. Average Revenue Per User for all of the Company's fiber markets is approximately $393 per month for business customers and approximately $101 per month for residential customers. The FTTP network build out is primarily financed by $99.9 million in funds from the Federal Broadband Stimulus Program, of which 45.9% is in the form of grants and 54.1% is in the form of low cost long-term loans. New Market Progress During the fourth quarter of 2012, NTS continued its sales and marketing efforts to build upon the customer base it has established in 14 communities in Texas. Following the close of the fourth quarter, NTS began signing up fiber customers in Iowa Park, Texas and also added customers in Wichita Falls, Texas where the Company is targeting more than 1,000 potential business customers. Additionally, NTS continued construction on its FTTP network in southern Louisiana, where its fiber network will eventually include residential and business customers in the communities of Hammond, Ponchatoula, Natalbany, Tickfaw, Independence and Amite, Louisiana, adding approximately 11,500 FTTP passings.

Golden Maple Chicken I
Recipe by Judith N.
This is a quick and sort of glorified chicken kind of succotash! It is so tasty! You gotta try it! Serve with a salad and bread and you've got a meal
Top Review by Linda B
This dish is OK, but the flavor of the liquid from the beans almost completely masked the flavor of the maple syrup and the spices. Perhaps using only one can of beans or partially draining the beans would help. The only taste we got was beans and corn. Also my chicken was tough although I followed the directions exactly.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 -3 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cubed (depending on taste)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup

En/FRUM neurons functions as interneurons within a copulatory neuronal circuit
En/FRUM neurons are likely to be interneurons, since their processes do not leave the CNS, and based on their position, size, and similarity to En neurons in other insects. These En interneurons could belong to one or more classes of interneurons including 1) sensory interneurons processing incoming primary sensory information, 2) pre-motor interneurons that contribute to the activity of motorneurons affecting copulation behavior, 3) neurosecretory cells that modulate the activity of other neurons via release of neurochemicals, or 4) neurons forming part of a descending control pathway in which higher centers in the CNS influence the function of neurons in the thoracic and abdominal ganglia
The examination of En neurons throughout development and the timing of FRUM expression suggests that most of the FRUM/En neurons are born post-embryonically, as opposed to embryonic neurons that persist into adulthood and are remodeled for adult-specific functions. Based on the small numbers of embryonic En neurons in the brain, the increase in neurons added during larval and pupal development, and their small size, the E/F-brain and E/F-VNCmid are very likely post-embryonic. With these properties, we speculate that these neurons function as local circuit interneurons within a single ganglion. E/F-brain neurons likely belong to the MC2 lineage described by Kumar et al.
We expect that the local circuit interneurons in the prothoracic ganglion coordinate the movement of the legs and/or wings and that the local circuit interneurons in the abdominal ganglion mediate bending of the abdomen and/or activity of the reproductive organs. A previous study of

We have identified a small subset of FRUM neurons distributed in the brain and ventral cord of males by their co-expression with in En neurons. FRUM expression begins during early to mid-pupal period in neurons already expressing En. Most En/FRUM neurons have a distinctive segmental pattern and contribute to only a part of an En neuronal lineage in the prothoracic midline, anterior medial brain or abdominal ganglia. Only in the four large medial neurons is FRUM expressed in the T1, T2, and T3 segmental homologs. Our data further suggests that the En/FRUM neurons are not unique to males but present in females and
Our data strongly support a model in which different groups of FRUM neurons regulate different aspects of courtship and copulation behavior
Our findings show that the loss of FRUM expression in the small cohort of En/FRUM neurons results in a high frequency of male sterility. Because some
Fly stocks and crosses
Fly stocks were reared in a 12h: 12h light: dark (12h L/D) cycle at 25°C on standard dextrose medium supplemented with 0.1% Nipagen (p-hydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester; Sigma, St. Louis MO) to inhibit mold. The Canton-S strain,
Central nervous systems (CNSs) from sexed larvae, pupae and adults were processed for immunohistochemistry according to standard techniques
Imaging and image analysis
Confocal images were obtained on a Zeiss 510-Meta confocal scanning microscope while DIC images were captured from an Olympus Vanox-TX microscope with a Sony DKC-5000 digital camera. Images were subsequently processed for contrast using PhotoShop 5.0.2 (Adobe Systems Inc., San Jose, CA).
Neuronal analysis
The number of En neurons was counted in anti-En labeled CNSs visualized by DAB and analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by Multiple Comparison Procedures, Dunn's Method (SigmaStat, version 2.03, SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL). Fluorescently labeled neurons were counted from stacks of confocal images.
We assessed the anti-FRUM signal in En/FRUM neurons to gauge the level of FRUM depletion in
Fertility assays
Single virgin males aged for 3–7 days or males used in courtship tests were placed with 2–4 virgin CSA females. Fertility was scored by the presence of progeny after seven days.
Courtship assays and data analysis
Males for the behavioral tests were reared at 29°C on a 12h L/D cycle, collected within 24 hours of eclosion and aged singly at 29°C for 4–6 days to promote the most effective expression of the RNAi transgene
Courtship assays were performed between 6 to 10 hours after lights on. A female and then a male fly were aspirated into a courtship chamber (1.0 cm diameter × 0.5 cm high) the pair was video-recorded until copulation occurred or for 10 minutes. We measured the latency to courtship initiation (lat Courtin) as the interval after adding the male to his first wing extension. After courtship initiation, the percent of time the male courts is defined as the courtship index (CI; cf
Copulation assays
For some experiments, copulation durations were determined for pairs video recorded for 30 minutes. Statistical comparisons of copulation duration intervals were carried out with a Kruskal-Wallis One-Way ANOVA on Ranks, followed by All Pairwise Multiple Comparison Procedures (Dunn's Method). After copulation, female reproductive tracts were dissected within 60 minutes of copulation and examined for the presence of sperm and mating plug

cocoons sunglasses ore comfortably without any danger of snapping them off. brilliant glasses look more expensive than they are very well made and by god are they dark fit well under a motorcycle helmet in fact im going to order a 2nd pair as a spare These are OK for the price I paid. I wanted a cheap pair of sunglasses and these matched my criteria. They are cool looking but I suspect they might get scratched easily. I am disappointed that they have 'Police' written on the frame when they clearly are not. Ov New Orleans best value inn ralph lauren outlet down the collar of your shirt/wearing them drunk is not safe and will inevitably lead to them smashing, I was looking for my next 'victims'! These are a pretty robust pair of glasses and the thicker arms made these the perfect choice! Great value from the trader and delivery was pretty prompt! Looking forward to buying a replacement pair!!! 5 stars because they suit me well and that is most important to me. The arms feel a bit creakMontpelier ray ban website best toasters .
as it is so dark... so would the colour be exactly as in the picture, i'd love them!
Fast delivery, excellent glasses. Nice and light lovely clear orange lenses. Brought a second pair of glasses from this seller very highly recommended.
Great purchase, Product come with fast delivery service with UPS. Quality wise was superb, genuine product at competitive price.
These are cool sunglasses. We are off on holiday in May & I was concerned about the sun in my baby's eyes. These glasses are ex cheap ralph lauren shirts r arrived. I am absolutely delighted with them - they look very classy and provide very good protection. One minor issue is that they don't fold totally flat so there is the risk of breaking the frame/legs when putting them into a bag, but otherwise I would definitely buy this brand again.
I got these glasses because of having eye surgery and needed glasses that stopped the glare fr sunglasses for women re fishing.
Aside from that they are well made and perfect for my skinny head.
The only real downside are the comments from 'funny' people who throw up the usual 'hilarious' Matrix comments. I'm thinking of taking some martial arts class so that I can beat the living wee out of these people whilst living up to their Matrix r.

The hotel is always locked on both sides, the front and back entrance, with a "secret" way to get in for people who are actually staying in the hotel. The location is amazing, it's a three minute walk to the center of Dahab. The manager of the hotel is an amazing person, he helps with every step of the journey, literally helping you plan each part and day of your trip down to the hour. He has a weird sleeping schedule where he stays up very late and then wakes up around 12-1, not that it matters

Old crusty mech by GalifordWatch
©2006-2017 Galiford
Another mech conceptual design. Crusty old open top mech war machine.
my fave heavy mech girl!
Looks like somthing i have seen in a VERY OLD Acard game.
But it look good
But it look good
"I like it!"
Love the idea. It has a distinctly ancient feel to it, as if this was the prototype of some newer and more powerful model.
Add flamethrower, dead pilot.
Nice. It has a kind of Magitek FF6 and Metal Slug sorta feel to it.
I love how her feet dangle in the stirrups below the cockpit, great idea.
That reminds me of a design Ive seen some time ago for an old game... Captain Commando They used mechs very similar to your design but they were a bit bigger in size.
Great work!
Great work!
Quality design
Good job!
Yet another great peice. Keep up the good work!

Lookbook: Golden Globes Inspired7:00 AM
Did you watch the Golden Globes last night? Oh goodness, so many pretty looks on the celebs last night! These are my favorite looks, love everything about them!
I was also inspired to create my own red carpet look out of my own closet. My inspiration for the look was all these gorgeous black and white looks! I love color but I think when you want glamour, you can never go wrong with a classic black and white look.
Got some questions about this dress from my haul post and size wise I got the Size M as I've found SheInside can run small in their dresses and I was correct with this one as it fits just right. For reference I'm typically a size 0 or XS in most brands. The quality of the skirt part is nice and thick with just the right amount of "poof". The top has a leather-like lining at the top that makes the neckline a bit wonky but I solve that with either wearing another top over it or covering it with a big necklace like I did here. For a less than $40 dress, I'm happy with it!

The Darkshine Knight is a major antagonist in the game Seiken Densetsu 3. He is an immensely powerful Chaos Knight and the third-in-command of the Dragon Emperor (one of the three possible final bosses). As such, he plays a large role in Duran's and Angela's story. He is in fact Duran's late father, whose soul was enslaved and reincarnated by the Dragon Emperor.
The Darkshine Knight was once a human named Loki. He was the mightiest Knight of Gold (elite knight) of the grasslands kingdom of Valsena (Forcena in the unofficial translation), as well as Prince Richard's best friend and right-hand-man. Loki took part in the war described in the game Heroes of Mana, (which takes place nineteen years before Seiken Densetsu 3) where he served as a playable character.
Around fifteen years before the begining of the game, Loki left his wife Simone, and his two children Duran and Wendy, in the care of his sister-in-law, because he had to fight alongside Prince Richard and the Valsenian army against the forces of the demonic Dragon Emperor, who threatened the entire world of Fa'Diel. At some point in the game, Duran manages to go back in time and tries to warn him, but Loki does not listen. Loki ultimately engaged a fight against the Dragon Emperor, and they both fell into a bottomless pit, ending the war at the cost of his life.
However, the spirit of the Dragon Emperor survived and retained all his evil power. Acknowledging Loki's immense skills, the Dragon Emperor resolved to use it for his own gain. He enslaved Loki's dead soul, which he sealed in a dark armour, turning the brave Knight of Gold into the fearsome Darkshine Knight. Some years later, they met a young Altenian wizard in training named Koren, who ran away from home because he was "useless with magic". The Dragon Emperor granted Koren incredible magical power in exchange of a part of his soul, thus enslaving another human. Now helped by two extremely powerful servants, the Dragon Emperor hatched a plan to regain his body and became the new God of Fa'Diel, by releasing and using the eight dreaded God Beasts.
Once a noble and stalwart, if a bit too confident, knight, Loki is now a cold and cruel killing machine who only talks when he has something to say, killing the rest without so much as a word, whose soul is bound to the Dragon Emperor's. However, he retains a soft spot for his son, whom he would like to have by his side, even though he is bound to try to kill him if he refuses.
In game
The Darkshine Knight obeys Koren's orders and leads the Dragon Emperor's armies of monsters, which he likely helped to raise. If neither Duran nor Angela was selected as the game's first protagonist, then Koren and the Dragon Emperor will be killed by the final boss of the storyline. The Darkshine Knight survives long enough to reach the Mana Holyland and to tell what happened to the game's protagonists, but as he states himself, his "life" was bound to the Dragon Emperor's and he shall soon disappear forever.
When the protagonists reach the Mana Holyland, the location of the Mana Tree (the Mana Goddess' earthly avatar) the Darkshine Knight helps Koren and his lord to get rid of the other villains. He then stays by Koren's side, when the evil Wizard of the Crimson Lotus takes the legendary Sword of Mana from the protagonists and uses it to release the God Beasts, before unleashing the Dragon Emperor's army of monsters on the world.
After slaying the eight God Beasts, the protagonists head for the Glass Desert when they battle the Darkshine Knight, whom they manage to defeat. If Duran is in the party, even if he isn't the game's main hero, the Darkshine Knight reveals his identity and asks Duran to join the Dragon Emperor's side, mirroring Darth Vader's and Luke Skywalker's first confrontation. Then, when the Darkshine Knight is defeated, Loki's soul appears and thank his son for freeing him. If Duran isn't among the protagonists, the Darkshine Knights attacks without a word and his secret vanish along with him.
Boss Battle
Level 44 . Life-Points 17132 The Darkshine Knight is regarded by many as the hardest boss among the three third-in-commands. Be well prepared as he is very powerful, very dangerous and very long to defeat. The stronger your characters are, the better it will be.The Darkshine Knight attacks only with his sword but he can also cast the self-describing spells Power Up and Protect Up on himself. Better avoid fighting at close range, for he delivers powerful blows which can strike several characters, or strike a character twice, and his counterattacks are very dangerous. The knight uses nearly every special sword techniques that Duran can learn. He mostly uses a combo with Whirlwind Sword (he charges around the screen in a circular motion with his sword whirling around him), Vacuum Sword (he sends countless twisters around him with his sword), and Eruption Sword (he stabs the ground and causes a blazing explosion on his targets). All his special techniques are highly powerful and strike every target; and he launches them in quick succession. The Darkshine Knight is weak to the Light element, so cast the Light magic on your weapons and harass him with every Light based magic you can. Also try to decrease his strength and speed, while raising your own might and defence. Never stay close to him longer than you have to, use your best spells and special techniques and heal every time your character's life-points decrease under at least 100 before his next attack.

Born: September 10, 1962 (age 50)
Education: Austin
Current Position: Head coach, University of North Carolina
Record: 42-23 (.646)
Playing Career: Austin (1981-84)
Family: Wife, Christi, son, Dillon and three daughters, Sydney, Peyton and Hallie.
Coaching Stops: Austin graduate assistant (1986), Garland (Texas) High School (1987-90), Baylor wide receivers/tight ends/running backs (1991-96), Air Force quarterbacks/wide receivers (1997-98), Middle Tennessee offensive coordinator (1999-2001), Florida offensive coordinator (2002-04), Oklahoma State offensive coordinator (2005-07), Southern Miss (2008-11)
Larry Fedora is the definition of an up-and-comer. His success at Southern Miss has catapulted him into the head coaching job at North Carolina, who is going through a rough transition period following the Butch Davis era, which ended following an NCAA investigation and sanctions.
Fedora led the Tarheels to an 8-4 regular season and a first-place ranking in the ACC Costal Division in his first season, but they are ineligible for the ACC title and a bowl game following the aforementioned NCAA issues under Butch Davis.
Under Fedora's leadership, Southern Miss cruised to a 34-19 record in four seasons and a 2011 Conference USA Championship that saw them end the season with a No. 20 AP ranking. Southern Miss closed out that Championship with a win over No. 6 and unbeaten Houston. Their 12-2 record was the first double-digit winning season since 1952.
Fedora's 2011 team was among the best in the country on both sides of the ball. Southern Miss finished 17th in the nation in total offense, averaging 461.4 yards per game, and No. 14 in scoring offense with 36.9 points per contest. On defense, the Golden Eagles were No. 7 pass efficiency defense, No. 26 in scoring defense and No. 29 total defense.
Southern Miss developed into an explosive offensive program during Fedora's tenure, gaining more than 5,000 total yards of offense in each of his four seasons, including a school-record 6,459 yards in 2011.
Fedora also has knowledge of the Southeastern Conference having coordinated the offense for the Florida Gators from (2002-04). In 2004, Fedora's Gators ranked first in the SEC in six different categories including passing offense (271.1), total offense (426.9), third down conversion percentage (47.8), touchdown passes (29), pass attempts (407) and pass completions (243).
Fedora also knows the state of Tennessee having coached with Middle Tennessee State as an offensive coordinator from 1999-2001.
Fedora is the hot name. He has had success at the small school and took over North Carolina under tough circumstance and had a great season. North Carolina currently has the No. 22 recruiting class in 2013 according to FOX Sports NEXT and is a major player for four-star wide receiver Marquez North, who Tennessee desperately needs.
Fedora may be an up-and-comer, but by in large, up-and-comers are a gamble. That is exactly what he is — a gamble. He has a winning record, which puts him a step ahead of former Tennessee coach Derek Dooley, but he doesn't have a resume of long-standing success at a major college football school.
