I'll believe it for myself when I see a FOSS game with the same graphical quality and entertainment value of an AA-grade game (forget AAA-grade, not gonna happen) found on Windows, the PS3, the Wii, the Xbox or even the DSi / 3DS or PS Vita.
If an analogue / comparison is desired, think Crysis 1-era graphics. The day I see a complete FOSS game that matches the gameplay value and graphical quality of Crysis 1 on 'Ultra' settings with the highest MSAA settings running on 60fps using open drivers is the day I'm convinced.

Pueraria mirifica, also known as Kwao Krua, is a root found in northern and north eastern Thailand and Myanmar. In Thailand, the plant "Kwao Krua" is considered to be a rejuvenating adaptogenic herb and has a history of use in folk medicine. Although the name "Kwao Krua" had been applied to several species of plants having tuberous roots, it was definitively identified as Pueraria mirifica in 1952 from which an unusual estrogenic phenol miroestrol was isolated. There are two kinds of Kwao Krua roots, namely white and red. The White Kwao Krua is the herb used by females and the Red Kwao Krua is the herb used by males. White Kwao Krua has a high concentration of phytoestrogens, while Red Kwao Krua is used by males and has aldosterone, which is a natural hormone. What does Pueraria Mirifica do? Pueraria Mirifica not only improves the nutritional support the woman's body but speeds up the process of enhancing the breasts and has the ability to maintain the increasing breast size permanently. A perfect choice for menopausal issues. It also improves nutritional support for breast care and the firmness of the breast and cleavage. Pueraria Mirifica is a real "multifunctional" plant which works perfectly when taken correctly. Your body will feel younger, energic and looks healthier. Your skin will be beautiful, in top condition, full of nutrients and feel smooth and elastic. Pueraria Mirifica is not just for breast enlargement & firming. It also helps to promote healthier skin. It's good for women who suffer all kinds of skin problems. Hair growth is better and stronger after 3-8 weeks of daily usage, your scalp feels like it has been "reborn". First signs of effects are usually skin related. Facial skin feel less oily and more elastic, this usually happens between 10 and 30 days. At this point breasts will start to get firmer while Pueraria Mirifica does its miracle work. Not only does it improve the nutritional support for the female body, but speeds up the process of enhancing the breasts. Pueraria Mirifica has the ability to maintain the increasing breast size permanently. Phytoestrogens promote breast tissue development and stimulate the development of mammary tissues. BIOVEA® Pueraria Mirifica Breast Cream Also Contains: • Evening Primrose Oil: May be more familiar as a gamma linoleic acid oral supplement. However, it is also a useful oil in creams with its excellent moisturising qualities. It is best used for dry, ageing skin. • Jojoba Oil: It is light-textured and deeply penetrating, making it a valuable oil for all skin types. The chemical composition of jojoba closely resembles sebum, the skin's natural lubricant. This gives jojoba oil exceptional moisturising and emollient properties. • Avocado Oil: Is a deep penetrating oil and has a slightly nutty aroma. Avocado oil is very rich and nutritious and is suited to undernourished, dry, dehydrated and mature skin. It is high in monounsaturated fats and Vitamin E. Avocado oil is regenerative and it has excellent moisturising qualities. • Shea Butter: Protects and regenerates the skin. High in Vitamin A, E and F. It provides skin with all the essential elements it needs for good balance, elasticity and tone and can be used on all skin types. The chemical composition of shea butter is close to vernix, the substance found on newborns at birth. Its excellent for the prevention and treatment of stretch marks and other kinds of scar tissue. Shea Butter has a high concentration of nonsaponifiable fatty acids, which promote cellular growth, helping to restore damaged skin.

One of the classic slasher films of the 80s – "A Nightmare on Elm Street" – made a star of Freddy Kreuger and the house where he supposedly came to life in the basement.
While the movie was based in a small fictional town in Ohio, the real house that was used for the film is in LA, conveniently located near Hollywood. Years after the film was released the house was neglected by the owners and fell into disarray – chipped paint, broken concrete and a black pool, to name a few. Fortunately, that and the property's ties to Freddy Kreuger didn't deter current homeowner Angie Hill from purchasing the cottage six years ago and spending a year of time and energy into giving it a badly needed lift.
She burned sage to get rid of the negative energy and gutted the interior, transforming it from a dated, dark and cluttered shelter to a bright and contemporary oasis – hardly a place a scabbed face slasher would hide out in. Not to worry, the exterior is still recognizable as the house on Elm Street. As AOL Real Estate writes:
People stop and take pictures, and there's a tour bus that goes by three times a day," Hill said. "Sometimes people come to the door and say stupid things like, 'Do you know what house this is?' "
But, she admits, the home's fictional history of horror still has a very real effect on her.
"I used to be afraid to go in the basement," she said.

City of Belleville Winter Parking Restrictions
Winter parking restrictions are in effect between Nov. 2 and Apr. 14 and apply to all City streets between the hours of 1 and 6 a.m. Vehicles left on the street pose an obstacle to snow-clearing activities, making it dangerous for both maintenance crews and the public. The goal is to restore safe motorist and pedestrian travel and to facilitate Fire, Ambulance and Police Department responses to emergencies. Overnight parking is also not permitted in City-owned parking lots. Motorists parking on City streets, or in a City-owned parking lot, between 1 and 6 a.m. run a high risk of having their vehicle ticketed and possibly towed. The City's parking enforcement staff and road crews, including staff operating road and sidewalk snow plows, wish to thank motorists for their co-operation in heeding parking restrictions.
The City of Belleville has completed a Master Planning process in accordance with Approach No.1 of the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) process to develop a wet weather and wastewater servicing master plan.

An item (Japanese: どうぐ tool) is an object in the Pokémon games which the player can pick up, keep in their Bag, and use in some manner. They have various uses, including healing, powering up, helping one to catch Pokémon, or to access a new area.
Obtaining items
Items are obtained in several different ways. They can be given to the player by characters within the game, be bought at a Poké Mart for money, or found by the player throughout the Pokémon world. The latter form of items are contained within item balls, spherical containers resembling a Poké Ball. To obtain the item, players move next to it and press A while facing it. In Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, many items are found in treasure chests modeled after Poké Balls; in addition, items are often found in bulk from these chests, rather than only singular. Another method introduced in Generation II is picking Berries off a Berry tree. Join Avenue was introduced in Pokémon Black and White 2, allowing players to buy certain items in bulk, as well as Berries and some rare items. Pokémon encountered in the wild will sometimes be holding items, which can be obtained by catching them using a Poké Ball or by using either Trick, Thief, Switcheroo, or Covet. Also, in certain areas in Generation VI, various scenery will appear in the background during some battles. Using specific moves, depending on the kind of scenery, will break the scenery and cause an item to be found at the end of the battle, with the message "<player> found a <item> in the aftermath."
Most items can be obtained at any time, but there are a small number of permanently missable items in some games that become unobtainable after the player has progressed beyond a certain point.
Item ball images
|A standard item ball from Generation I. The gray color will change depending on the game. It has the same design as a Poké Ball.
|A standard item ball from Generation II. This is the same basic image as Generation I, but with standardized colors to make it look more like a Poké Ball.
|A standard item ball from Generation III. The image has been further altered, making it clearly look like a Poké Ball.
|A standard item ball from Generation IV. The image is close to being exactly the same as Generation III, but with slightly different shading.
|A standard item ball from Generation V. This image is slightly more compact, with a more vivid coloring than previous generations.
Hidden items
Items can also be hidden from view rather than found in an item ball. These items typically aren't visible to the player without the use of an item finding tool. Many times, a seemingly empty path can lead to a hidden item. In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, some hidden items are revealed by a momentary flash when a player enters a room. In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, some hidden items can be found in visibly different tufts of grass. These are most commonly in Berry Forest, where Berries reoccur in these spots after a certain amount of time.
Recurring items
| The contents of this section have been suggested to be split into Recurring items.
Please discuss it on the talk page for this section.
| This section is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: Missing at least Gen. VI items.
Recurring items, aside from those bought in Poké Marts, are somewhat rare within the Pokémon series. Generation I had no recurring items whatsoever. Generation II introduced recurring items with Apricorn trees and Berry trees, on which new Apricorns and Berries would grow every day.
Generation III introduced more recurring items, with Shoal Salts and Shoal Shells, the first recurring items to be found on the ground rather than grown in a tree. Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald expanded upon the idea of a Berry tree introduced in Generation II by allowing players to grow their own Berries. However, in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the Berry tree was removed and replaced by recurring Berries hidden on the ground in Berry Forest, where Berries may regenerate every 512 steps. Treasure Beach, south of One Island, also held recurring items, including Ultra Balls and valuable items.
In Generation IV, the main recurring items are the items found in Turnback Cave after defeating or catching Giratina in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum--a Reaper Cloth, Rare Bone, or Stardust. Furthermore, in Generation IV, Honey will regenerate at the rate of two per day in Floaroma Meadow after the player has gathered them on the initial trip through. These may be found in any of the spots originally found, randomly generated.
In Black and White, TinyMushrooms will regrow, though they will remain hidden. Primarily, these are found on Route 6 and Route 12, but can also be found in Icirrus City in the Winter. Additionally, a Pearl and Stardust may wash up on Route 13, by the Black Belt, or at Undella Bay, on the shore, once per day. Another Pearl may be found periodically on Route 18 near the Battle Girl. The Lemonade found on the road on Route 9 will also regenerate occasionally. Outside of Pinwheel Forest, there is a Challenge Rock that invites Fighting-type Pokémon to smash it. Doing so will produce a Star Piece once per day.
In Black 2 and White 2, the recurring items differ slightly, as do the locations. A TinyMushroom may occasionally regrow in the fenced-in "garden" outside the Season Research Lab, and a Big Mushroom may occasionally regrow in a patch of grass in the trees to the immediate south of the Mistralton Cave entrance. A TinyMushroom may occasionally regrow behind the Celestial Tower on Route 7, and on a small rise on Route 12 as well. A Heart Scale may wash up on one of the shorelines of Undella Bay, or on a patch of sand in Humilau City, once more near the Black Belt on Route 13, or next to the rock at the bottom of the staircase immediately east of Lacunosa Town. A Pearl may wash up on the beach between the two staircases in Undella Town (in front of the Sage). A Big Pearl may wash up on the small dune near the Treasure Hunter on Route 13, north of the Parasol Lady. Some items may also wash up on Route 9 over time. The Challenge Rock also returns; however, only a Stardust is produced.
Many items gained recurring status in Black 2 and White 2, as they are found in Hidden Grottoes, the contents of which regenerate.
In Generation VI, Honey will regenerate in at least four locations periodically: one next to the railroad tracks on Route 18, one in the top-right corner of the fenced-in patch of grass outside Shalour City on Route 12, and two in the Pokémon Village, one in the topmost pavilion and one across the river from it. Pretty Wings will regenerate in at least two places periodically: one in a bush immediately south of the Pokémon Center in Couriway Town and one beneath the tire in the Pokémon Village. Prism Scales will randomly regenerate in the middle square of grass in the waterfall above Couriway Town. An Oval Stone will periodically regenerate in the Unknown Dungeon along the left-middle stalagmite. A Tiny Mushroom will regrow occasionally in the farthest-right mushroom stalk in Laverre City. As in Generation III on Treasure Beach and Generation V along the beaches in Unova, items will randomly wash up on the beaches in Kalos, including along Routes 8 and 9 and in Shalour City. As in previous games, some of these items include many valuable items.
Generation VI also reintroduced the idea of recurring Berries. In these games, a rare Berry drops from its tree approximately once per week for the player to collect. There is one Berry tree found on nearly every Route. The list of Trees is as follows:
- Route 5: Oran Berry (bottom of the grind bar)
- Route 6: Aguav Berry (middle of the left-hand grass patch)
- Route 7: Persim Berry (end by the Ambrette Town cave entrance)
- Route 8: Mago Berry (beach below Ambrette Town)
- Route 10: Iapapa Berry (right-hand side of path below Menhir stones)
- Route 11: Sitrus Berry (below cave entrance)
- Route 12: Aspear Berry (behind Cut tree below fenced-in grass outside Shalour City)
- Route 14: Roseli Berry (farthest-right path through swamp below Laverre City)
- Route 15: Leppa Berry (over bike jump after Laverre City gate)
- Route 16: Lum Berry (clearing after winding through very tall grass)
- Route 18: Wacan Berry (behind Cut tree before bridge)
- Route 19: Yache Berry (on mesa across bridge)
- Route 20: Kasib Berry (left-hand path past Mossy Rock clearing)
- Route 21: Figy Berry (across pond behind Cut tree)
- Route 22: Tanga Berry (bottom of waterfall, end of farthest-right path)
Recurring gift items
Certain items may be given to the player once per day by non-player characters, often for fulfilling a certain task.
In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, various non-player characters in Hoenn will give items, usually Berries, simply when spoken to.

Fake items
In some indoor areas such as the Kanto Power Plant, item balls may in fact turn out to be Voltorb or Electrode, in which case interacting with them will instead initiate a battle with said Pokémon. In Generation V, within forested areas or on Route 10, item balls may be Foongus or Amoonguss.
Item types
- Main article: List of items by type
Throughout the Pokémon world, the Bag is used to carry items. Since Generation II, Items have been separated into categories to help with overall organization. These categories are altered slightly with each game. Some of the common categories consist of:
- General items - Escape Ropes, Repels, Battle Enhancers, Mail, etc.
- Medicine - Potions, Status condition healing items, Stat-boosting items, etc. While originally part of the general Items Bag section, it has had its own since Generation IV.
- TMs & HMs - All move teaching devices, by which Pokémon can learn moves such as Surf, Dynamic Punch, and Psychic. HMs cannot be discarded; in Gen V and onward, TMs have this trait as well, as they are reusable.
- Poké Balls - Different type of balls are all used for capturing Pokémon.*
- Key items - Special items that players can only obtain once, that either aid the progression of the storyline or traveling. They rarely have anything to do with the player's Pokémon and are mostly specific to the game. These types of item include Tickets, Keys, and the popular Bicycle. Key items can never be discarded, however, certain items will disappear from the player's Bag during storyline events.
- Held items - Items that can be held by a Pokémon, then used by them in some way. There are many varieties of these.
- Berries - The items were introduced in Generation II, and expanded upon in Generation III with the creation of many different types of Berries, as well as adding a separate Bag slot for them.
The preceding basic classification holds mostly true for Generations II and III. However, in Generation IV, items have been arranged into further categories. New categories include Medicine, Battle Items, and Mail. Generation I did not have any form of categories in the Bag (as it held a very limited number of items), though the categories can still apply.
Item storage
Items that are obtained are stored in different places. Initially, when an item is obtained, it is placed in the player's Bag, and from Generation II onwards, into a specific pocket of that Bag. When a section of the Bag becomes full, players will not be able to pick up any other items of that type. To make space, players must store their items within their PC, accessed at a Pokémon Center as <Player>'s PC. In Generation IV, this problem is eliminated by having no limit on items in the Bag, and the player's PC is used for other purposes. The player also has the ability to toss items away: this will delete them from the Bag. Key items, HMs, and, starting in Generation V, TMs cannot be tossed.
Held items
- Main article: Held item
Since Generation II, certain items have been able to be held by Pokémon to heal or to enhance their power. Healing items can be used in battle without taking up a turn, but must be natural for them to work. Artificial items such as Potions and Full Heals cannot be used by Pokémon during battle. Held items also have other uses, such as an aid to evolve during trading or battle. Mail was also introduced as a hold item, in which players could send customizable messages with their Pokémon upon trading.
In the TCG
- Main article: Item card (TCG)
In the Pokémon Trading Card Game, items from the games were originally Trainer cards. However, starting with the HeartGold & SoulSilver Collections at the start of the LEGEND era in Japanese, and Black & White in international releases, they are classified in their own category, Item cards.

The CTA, which is hiking the price of fare passes by as much as 74 percent in 2013, is offering a New Year's Eve toast to riders by giving free rides for six hours starting late tonight.
MillerCoors is the first corporate sponsor of the annual CTA penny rides program, which is in effect from 10 p.m. New Year's Eve through 4 a.m. Jan. 1, to provide a safe holiday transportation alternative.
Although the CTA is required by statute to collect fares from passengers, bus drivers and rail station attendants frequently wave revelers aboard on New Year's Eve without paying the 1-cent fare.
Now that policy will be semiofficial under the $1.3 million sponsorship that MillerCoors is paying to the CTA under the three-year deal, CTA President Forrest Claypool said in announcing the sponsorship agreement in early December.
Claypool said every penny counts at the CTA -- which in 2013 will raise the price of one-day, three-day, seven-day and 30-day passes -- to help balance the agency's operating budget.
Latest Breaking News
But collecting the penny fare on New Year's Eve has been more trouble than it is worth, saying that customers sometimes try to stick a penny into the wrong slot on bus fareboxes, jamming the machines, he said.
An average of 150,000 bus and train rides are taken on New Year's Eve, CTA officials said.

NMR at Harvey Mudd College
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the most powerful spectroscopic tools available to chemists, providing a means to study molecular properties and structure.
NMR Resources Instrumentation
The Harvey Mudd College Department of Chemistry has a Bruker DPX 400 – a Fourier transform system with a 400MHz cryogenic magnet and gradients capable of spectroscopy on a wide range of nuclei, ranging in resonant frequency from 109Ag to 31P.
Data Analysis Software
TopSpin is the data acquisition and analysis package running on DPX400. Quick-start (PDF) instructions for how to set up and execute experiments using TopSpin are available. You are encouraged to analyze your data off-line with one of two software packages:
- TopSpin (PDF) as served by the NMR workstation for use from PCs and Macintoshes. TopSpin can analyze one-, two-, and three-dimensional data generated on DPX400. Instructions for saving your output as graphics files (PDF) are also available.
- NUTS (PDF) runs on Macintoshes and PCs. Nuts can analyze one-dimensional data.
Information via NMR
There are three types of easily-accessible information available in NMR spectroscopy:
- Chemical shift, which provides information about the average effective magnetic field (due to nuclear shielding) present at various locations within a molecule.
- Spin-spin coupling (coupling constants and spin multiplicities), which derives from through-bond interactions between spin-active nuclei.
- Signal intensity, measured as the integral of the signal, which derives from the number of equivalent nuclei present in a given environment.
Of course, it is possible to garner additional information via other processes, such as the nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE).
IconNMR is the data acquisition software available for walk-on users of the DPX400. IconNMR provides an easy-to-use software interface for common 1H and 13C experiments in a range of common NMR solvents.
While IconNMR also provides an interface to experiments on other nuclei (such as15N, 19F, and 31P), such experiments at present require manual tuning and matching of the probe. Thus, if you wish to acquire spectra on nuclei other than 1H and 13C, you need to acquire the spectra manually.
IconNMR handles the following tasks in setting up, running, and processing an NMR experiment:
- Prompts for sample insertion;
- Prompts for data file name, solvent, and type of experiment;
- Locks on the solvent;
- Shims the magnet;
- Acquires the FID;
- Processes the FID by Fourier transformation and does phasing;
- Integrates 1H spectra;
- Does peak-picking;
- Plots the spectrum.
Of course, your data are available for off-line processing at any time. This may be useful if you do not like the phasing and/or integration done by IconNMR. You may also wish to expand or replot a section of your spectrum.
Learn more about IconNMR (PDF) and its use.
TopSpin is the full-featured data acquisition and analysis software running on DPX400. You may also use XWinNMR to analyze data on any of the Chemistry Department SGI cluster machines. More information regarding TopSpin (PDF) is available.
Experiment Name – PROTON & PROTON128
This is the simplest, most straight-forward NMR experiment, taken right out of your Carbon Compounds textbook.
In this experiment, a short radio-frequency pulse centered on the Larmor precession frequency of protons in the static magnetic field created by the cryomagnet causes a net transverse magnetization of the protons. This transverse magnetization is monitored as the sample decays exponentially towards its equilibrium state, providing a Free Induction Decay, or FID. The FID contains all of the spectral information in the time domain. Subjecting the FID to a fast Fourier transform produces the spectrum in the frequency domain. Before it can be read, the spectrum must be phased. Subsequent processing allows for integration and peak picking.
Note that you can select PROTON (16 scans) or PROTON128 (128 scans). More scans buy you better signal-to-noise (S/N), but take longer to execute. Since it takes roughly 5 min for the spectrometer to lock and achieve a good shim, the extra 5 min required to move from 8 scans to 128 scans isn't really that excessive…
Recall that S/N ratio is proportional to the square root of the number of scans you take; doubling the number of scans increases your S/N by a factor of 21/2. More advanced users may wish to set the NS (number of scans) parameter manually.
In this page and following pages, a series of spectra are presented for ethyl benzene:
The triplet at 1.25 ppm with integral of 3 corresponds to the protons Ha in the methyl group, whereas the quadruplet at 2.65 ppm with integral of 2 corresponds to the methylene protons, Hb. The multiplets at 7.25 ppm with integral of 5 correspond to the aromatic protons Hc. The singlet at 0 ppm is due to the internal standard, tetramethylsilane (TMS).
Note that the chemical shifts, when expressed in ppm of applied magnetic field, do not change with field strength. The spin-spin coupling (J-constants) are not field-dependent, either.

13C Without Decoupling
The 13C experiment without decoupling of attached protons is quite similar to the standard 1H experiment. A short radio-frequency pulse centered on the Larmor precession frequency of 13C nuclei in the static magnetic field created by the cryomagnet causes a net transverse magnetization of the carbon nuclei. This transverse magnetization is monitored as the sample decays exponentially towards its equilibrium state, providing a Free Induction Decay, or FID. The FID contains all of the spectral information in the time domain. Subjecting the FID to a fast Fourier transform produces the spectrum in the frequency domain. Before it can be read, the spectrum must be phased. Subsequent processing allows for integration and peak picking. Note that both 13C and 1H are spin 1/2 nuclei. We expect to see a signal for each magnetically-unique carbon, split into n+1 peaks, where n is the number of protons attached to the carbon. Of course, the signal from 13C is much weaker than that of a proton because only 1.1% of all carbons present in a molecule are 13C–the balance is 12C, which does not give an NMR signal. This also explains why we don't see spin-spin coupling from adjacent carbons–the chance of two adjacent carbons both being 13C are 0.012% (pretty small!). Also, the magnetogyric ratio for 13C is only 23% that of the proton. All things considered, this is a difficult and time-consuming experiment to attempt, which explains why we don't do it very often. Note the triplet at 77ppm due to CDCl3 (solvent) in the spectrum below. This signal is very strong because the sample is mostly CDCl3. The carbon in CDCl3 is split into a triplet because the D attached to it is a spin +1 nucleus: the D can be in any one of three spin states (-1, 0 or +1). Thus, any given carbon in the solvent "sees" one of three distinct environments, depending upon the spin state of its attached D.

ExperimentsC13CPD & C13CPD32/
Whereas 13C spectroscopy without decoupling is time-consuming and sometimes difficult to interpret, decoupling the protons from the carbon nuclei while obtaining the carbon spectrum yields stunning results. We obtain a singlet for each magnetically-unique carbon. 13C spectroscopy garners information about the backbone of an organic molecule. The wonders of Fourier transform instruments allow us to surmount S/N problems associated with the low isotopic abundance of 13C and its rather poor magnetogyric ratio.
In CPD (Composite Programmed Decoupling) technique, we decouple the protons from the carbon by means of an intricate radio-frequency pulse sequence directed at the protons. This means that the protons are continually changing spin state during the time the carbon spectrum is acquired. As a result, the carbon "sees" only one net proton environment, yielding only one peak for each magnetically-unique carbon.
The area under the peaks is generally not proportional to the number of carbons present in these experiments, due to relaxation effects. In order to achieve good results in integration, you must wait 10-20s between pulses. Typically, we are too impatient to do so.
This is the fastest 13C experiment to carry out. As a result, it is the "standard" 13C experiment on newer spectrometers. In the spectrum below, the peak at 15 ppm is the methyl carbon Ca and the peak at 28 ppm is the methylene carbon Cb. The quarternary carbon in the benzene ring Cc (the one without an attached proton) is at 144 ppm. The remaining three peaks at 125, 127, and 128 ppm are the remaining aromatic carbons. Note that even though there are five additional carbons in the ring, there are only three magnetically unique signals. Also note the triplet due to CDCl3 (solvent) at 77 ppm in the spectrum below.

13C DEPT and APT
Experiment C13CDEPT45
This DEPT experiment (Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer) is an example of a carbon-editing pulse sequence. Systematic changes in the internal delays in the complex pulse program make different carbons respond in different fashions, based upon the number of protons attached.
The DEPT 45 experiment yields a positive peak for every carbon with attached protons: Ca at 16 ppm, Cb at 29 ppm, and Cd, Ce, and Cf at 128.5, 128.9, and 129 ppm, respectively. Note in the spectrum below that carbon in the CDCl3 solvent does not give a signal since it has no attached protons.
Spectrum of Ethyl Benzene
Experiment C13CDEPT90
In this variant of the DEPT experiment, only CH yields peaks; CH0, CH2, and CH3 are invisible. In our example, we see only three lines due to Cd, Ce, and Cf in the aromatic range from 126 to 129 ppm.

2D NMR: HC Correlation
Two-dimensional HSQC (Heteronuclear Single Quantum Coherence) proton-carbon COSY (COrrelation SpectroscopY) experiments allow you to determine the connectivity of a molecule by determining which protons are correlated with which carbons. In these examples, "correlated" means directly bonded.
HSQCGP is an inverse-detection experiment observing protons while utilizing magnetic gradients along the bore of the sample. There are many advantages to this approach; this experiment will yield superior signal-to-noise ratios in shorter times than traditional experiments.
In the spectrum below, the proton spectrum appears across the top, while the "imputed" carbon spectrum appears along the left-hand side. Peaks within the grid arise from correlations between a given proton and carbon signal. For example, the methyl protons seen at 1 ppm on the proton axis are coupled to the methyl carbon at 16 ppm on the carbon axis.

Experiment – COSYGP
Two-dimensional COSY (COrrelation SpectroscopY) experiments allow you to determine the connectivity of a molecule by determining which protons are spin-spin coupled. Of course, one could accomplish the same task by a detailed analysis of spin-spin splittings, given high enough resolution. Nonetheless, COSY spectroscopy, when practiced with the aid of magnetic field gradients, is a quick method of establishing connectivity.
In the example shown below the proton spectrum for ethyl benzene is plotted on each of the two axes. Note that the diagonal within the box is also the spectrum for ethyl benzene as seen from "above." Off-diagonal peaks denote splitting between protons on adjacent carbons. Note the coupling of the methyl protons at 1.1 ppm to the methylene protons at 2.8 ppm. The aromatic multiplet at 7.2 ppm is coupled with itself. Also note that neither the methyl or methylene protons are coupled to the aromatic protons at 7.2 ppm.
This COSY experiment gives information regarding three-bond couplings (from a proton to its carbon, to the adjacent carbon, then to that carbon's proton). More extensive COSY spectra may be generated by advanced techniques, allowing one to view four-, five-, and occasionally six-bond couplings.
Finally, another class of experiments, know collectively as nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) experiments, provide information on through-space rather than through-bond couplings. Such experiments are very important in the use of NMR to establish tertiary and quarternary structure.

Welcome to my new and second blog. My intention is to identify consumer products that work well or badly, focusing on design and and quality. No I am not an engineer, but as I mention in my blog profile, I love mechanical and electronic things. My experience includes working in factories and machine shops and a very good lay understanding about how motors and things you'd find in those venues work. My first blog, by the way, was The Dodge Report at my former publication, Electronic Business .
My first victim is the suction cup bracket that came with my Garmin GPS nüvi 350 . The nüvi is a great little GPS unit, but the suction cup that holds the unit to the windshield sucks. Or actually, it doesn't stay sucking like it should, constantly falling off the windshield even though it feels solidly built and looks smartly designed. Part of the problem might be that I keep removing it so as not to advertise the presence of this nifty little $600 unit (which tied for first place in Consumer Reports tests on portable GPS devices). Still, it should stay put every time I affix it to the windshield. Such irony: Garmin can get the sophisticated electronics right, but blows it with something as trivial as the bracket. When the whole thing collapses, it's very irritating and what will be even more of a travesty of a mockery of a sham is if the nüvi ends up breaking the next time it crashes against the console of my car.
The nüvi is a great little GPS unit, but the suction cup that holds the unit to the windshield sucks.

Find the right golf shoe for your game.
Former University of Georgia product, Brendon Todd cruised to a two shot victory at the HP Byron Nelson Championship. Todd's final round was blemish free, not making a single bogey to four birdies for a four-under par round of 66.
Beginning his day in a tie for the lead, Todd made birdies at 2, 5, 9 and 10 to race to 14-under par on the week. Todd made several crafty par saves on his way to the clubhouse including a left handed, back of the wedge shot on the par-3 13th that set up perhaps the best up and down of the week. None of his chasers could catch him giving Todd his first PGA Tour win in 77 starts.
Todd relied on DryJoys Tour golf shoes and the Pure Touch Limited golf glove throughout his winning performance.
The win gives Todd a two year exemption on the PGA Tour as well as an invite to the 2015 Masters.

WGC-Bridgestone Invitational
Hunter Mahan won for the second time this year, coming from four shots back to start the day to win the World Golf Championship - Bridgestone Invitational. Mahan ran off five birdies on the front nine to take the lead, then had three clutch par saves down the stretch to finish off a 6-under 64 and a two-shot victory over fellow FJ player, Ryan Palmer (FJ ICON style #52005). While both players wore FJ ICON golf shoes, Hunter went with a custom design through the MyJoys program. Hunter also wore a StaSof glove while Palmer opted for SciFlex. Mahan's victory locked up a spot on the United States Ryder Cup team as he is now No. 2 in points with only this week's PGA Championship remaining before the top eight Americans qualify. Hunter has played on the last three U.S. teams as a Captains Pick."That was my goal at the beginning of the year, to make the team on my own," Mahan said.Hunter shot a final round 6-under 64 to finish with a 12-under 268 total. He became the third American with multiple victories on the PGA TOUR this year, and likely will move to a career-best No. 12 in the world.Turning Stone Resort ChampionshipMeanwhile at the Turning Stone Resort Championship, it was a major accomplishment of a different sort for FJ player Bill Lunde (FJ ICON). Less than five years after he quit competitive golf, he earned a spot in next week's PGA Championship by winning the Turning Stone Resort Championship. Lunde shot a final round 6-under 66 to rally for a come-from-behind victory with a 17-under 271 total. "All these guys out here, you're never far from playing good. You can sit here and say, 'I'm playing awful, I don't know how I'm going to break 80 today,' but you're never that far off."Lunde made the weekend cut by one stroke and but trailed by only four heading into the final round following a 64 on Saturday. Lunde climbed to the top of Sunday's leaderboard with six birdies and a 30 on the front side. None of the success seemed possible to Lunde in 2005 when he stopped playing after a tough year on the Nationwide Tour. He went to the PGA TOUR's Q-School in November and didn't qualify for the second stage so found a job in real estate in Las Vegas. He returned to the Nationwide Tour in 2008 and took advantage of his second chance. He won the Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitational that year and finished fifth on the money list, which earned him a spot on the PGA TOUR in 2009."I tried to make an agreement with myself when I started playing again to ... if I could just have a better attitude right off the bat, I'd become a better player than I ever was before," he said. "And that was kind of my goal. Obviously it doesn't happen every day, but it's definitely better than it was and something I'll probably battle for the rest of my life. I'm just so competitive. I can't handle not playing well or bad breaks. It gets me down."
Paul Goydos (FJ ICON black smooth calfskin bicycle toe, SciFlex glove) became just the fourth person to fire a 59 on the PGA Tour when he scorched TPC Deere Run yesterday during the first round of the John Deere Classic. Goydos birdied every hole on the back nine except for No. 15, where he holed a six-foot par putt to keep a sub-60 in sight. He finished off with three birdies, the last one from seven feet to join the most exclusive club in golf. You can read all about the round on pgatour.com or hear about it from Goydos himself in the video below (click here if video does not appear). One of the most amazing aspects of the day yesterday, in addition to Goydos' feat, is that it was nearly matched by the man who previously help the course record, Steve Stricker (Custom all-white DryJoys MyJoys, Pure Touch Limited glove). Needing an eagle at the last to reach 59, Stricker's approach appeared headed for the cup but curled around at the last second, leaving him a 2-footer for birdie and a first round 11-under 60. With a morning tee time on Friday, Stricker will have first crack at a repeat performance and also the opportunity to set the tone heading into the weekend. Stay tuned, this could get pretty wild!

I told myself I'd only review text fonts, but every once in a while I come across a lovely display font that sings cross browser… and I've decided if I'm going to take the time to test and approve, I might as well share.
I recently tested and used Rochester for a client. She's an independent children's illustrator who's been in the business for decades. Due to her illustration style, I needed a font that referenced handwriting, showed a slightly quirky side, and didn't feel too elegant or messy. It also needed to work with all of the letters in her name, and the connections needed to… well… connect properly.
Rochester has a vertical stress and significant contrast between thick and thin strokes. The strong vertical strokes and the round bowl give the font a slightly "bubbly," slightly digital feeling — not overly elegant. I have to admit, I don't care for Rochester's lowercase z or f, but luckily my client's site uses neither in the heading. When I tested it cross browser, the spacing, connections, strokes, and curves all remained lovely.
Rochester comes in 1 style (as all great handwriting fonts do). It is available via Google Web Fonts.

Gina McDonald netted a pair of goals and an assist in an 8-1 win over Connecticut (Gil Talbot).
Video Highlights: Harvard at Connecticut
STORRS, Conn. – An offensive onslaught in its first game back from Winter Break saw the Harvard women's hockey team dominate from start to finish in an 8-1 pounding of Connecticut Tuesday night at Freitas Ice Forum. The win is Harvard's fourth in a row and third straight over a Hockey East opponent.
The Crimson got a huge opportunity to jump out to an early lead when Connecticut picked up a five-minute major less than a minute into the contest. However, the Husky penalty kill proved to be a greater foe than Harvard had expected and the five minutes passed without a goal.
Harvard did break the scoreless tie at even strength, netting the game's first goal at 9:09 of the opening stanza. Kaitlin Spurling collected a loose puck in her own zone and bolted up the left side of the ice with Gina McDonald skating free to her right. Spurling timed the pass perfectly and McDonald was able to shove the puck past UConn goalie Nicole Paniccia for her fourth tally of the season.
The guests doubled their lead 3:50 later, taking advantage of their second power-play opportunity of the night. Spurling fed Hillary Crowe near the goal and while Crowe's shot was blocked by Paniccia, Kalley Armstrong was there to stuff home the rebound for a 2-0 edge. Lyndsey Fry got in on the scoring at the 14:13 mark of the first, putting home a close-range shot off passes from Jillian Dempsey and Samantha Reber.
It was more of the same in the second period as the Crimson poured in four more goals to take a 7-1 lead into the second break. Spurling found the back of the net 6:34 into the period, and after Connecticut snuck one past Laura Bellamy, Dempsey stretched the lead back to four with her 10th goal of the season at the 11:04 mark. Crowe put home a redirect with just over two minutes remaining and Fry notched her second with 1:32 left in the second to give Harvard a commanding advantage.
Harvard finished the scoring in style, potting its second shorthanded effort of the season as Fry fed McDonald on a two-on-two rush. Fry finished the game with two goals and an assist, while McDonald also tallied a pair of scores. Spurling had a three-point night with a goal and two helpers, and Dempsey recorded a goal an d a pair of assists in the win. Bellamy needed just 14 saves to record her ninth win of the season.
The Crimson returns to conference play this weekend as it travels south for a pair of ECAC contests. Harvard takes on Princeton Friday night at 7 p.m., and faces Quinnipiac the following afternoon in a 4 p.m., game.
