The Economics of Open Access Publishing
AbstractThis special issue of Economic Analysis and Policy is devoted to try and understand the academic publishing industry and in particular the recent move towards open access, as EAP has done in 2008. The various articles examine the motivations, the challenges and the roadblocks for authors, editors, publishers, libraries and readers. It also highlights some of the benefits of open access beyond the obvious increase in readership. Several examples from journal editors, content management providers and bibliographic data distributors are also provided.

Chapter 45: The Grand Finale0 Reviews
Harry Potter/Ninja Turtles 2003 crossover. Read the first three books first. Harry's fourth year at Hogwarts is marked by the return of the Triwizard Tournament. More complete summary in profile.
In the Healer's Pavilion, the Dark Assassins rushed Don and Usagi, in an attempt to finish the two off once and for all. Don used his Bo staff to barely block a pair of swords before springing up and knocking the two Dark Assassins back a few steps. One of the Dark Assassins whipped his chain forward, striking Don in the back of the head. He leapt up with the sickle end of the Kusari-Gama but Don managed to barely hold him back with his Bo staff before kicking the Dark Assassin back.
Due of lack of a weapon, Usagi was battling a group of five Dark Assassins hand to hand. He punched one of the Dark Assassins before leaping up and kicking one back. Another Dark Assassin struck Usagi in the back with the wooden end of his spear before spinning around and kicking the samurai rabbit back into the wall. Don sprang up, clanging his Bo staff against the wooden handled of the Dark Assassin's spear but a pair of Dark Assassins leapt up into the air, striking Don back. Don flew face first into the wall, connecting with a sickening crack! The turtle's Bo staff flew out of reach.
"Donatello this is about to get bumpy but we need to remain in the battle and protect the Daimyo from these Assassins," said Usagi, who managed to stun a Dark Assassin briefly with an uppercut punch.
"And if we can't," said Don, who barely managed to kick a Dark Assassin back who was attempt to slit his throat with a sword.
"Then we shall perish with honor," said Usagi, twisting the Dark Assassin's arm around before flipping him to the ground. The Dark Assassin attempted to kick Usagi but Usagi caught the leg before he pushed the Dark Assassin back.
"Let's leave the whole perishing bit out, okay," said Don before he was knocked back by a vicious punch to the stomach by one of the Dark Assassins. Don turned himself over, looking on in horror as Five Dark Assassins made their way to the Daimyo, swords raised, ready to finish the job they started earlier.
Thankfully, Usagi leapt up, managing to kick the five Dark Assassins away from the Daimyo but it only delayed the assault rather than knocking the Dark Assassins out, as it appeared to be only a matter of time before the Dark Assassins finished off the Daimyo.
On the streets, Harry looked around for any sign that might point him to the others and a conversation between two aliens caused Harry to hit pay dirt.
"It appears that the Daimyo was attacked by some assassin," said one of the aliens. "This has been a rather eventful tournament, especially with the organizer being taken out."
"Indeed, I'd hate to be those Turtle creatures or that boy with that lightning bolt scar when they find out their sensei has been implemented in the crime of attacking the Daimyo and locked in the dungeons," said the second of the aliens. "Although that Leonardo turtle might not survive due to the fact that I heard the healers are focusing all of their attention on attempting to revive the Daimyo before he expires."
"Indeed, he's laying in the Healer's Pavilion, a few inches from death," said one of the aliens. "Not my concern but just passing on the word that I heard."
Harry breathed, it appeared that Leo had been severely injured but the Daimyo was also clinging onto life.
The Boy Who Live straightened up at a sudden thought and quickly moved, attempting to locate the Healer's Pavilion. If his theory was correct, the same person attacked both Leo and the Daimyo and they would be looking to finish them off in their weakened state. Harry hoped he wasn't too late. Once Harry got through with taking care of the attacker, he would have to bust his Sensei out of the Dungeons.
In the Battle Nexus Arena, the Ultimate Ninja looked down at the competitors, with the Gyoiji hovering at his side.
"Competitors and spectators, I bring you a bit of unfortunate news," said the Ultimate Ninja in a sad tone of voice. "My father, the beloved Daimyo of the Battle Nexus Tournament, will not be able to be here to see the end of the tournament."
The people in the stands gasped in horror as the Ultimate Ninja bowed his head silently for a brief moment before lifting his head back.
"Unfortunately, he was attacked by a cowardly assassin, who has since been locked up in the dungeons to rot for all eternity. Still, despite the best efforts of our top healers, it is my unfortunate duty to inform you that my father is likely to expire shortly. Still, the Tournament shall continue, as that is what my father would have wanted," said the Ultimate Ninja in a broken up tone of voice. "There are four competitors in the Tournament left. You four have proven yourself to be excellent warriors thus far and I salute your accomplishments in the tournament. As the next two rounds come forth, I would like to impart on you that the fact you made it this far through the tournament is a grand achievement and as the field further gets cut in half with the next round, I wish you luck."
The people in the stands applauded as the Ultimate Ninja turned to address the Gyoiji.
"Gyoiji, I have pressing matters to attend to," said the Ultimate Ninja. "I trust you will make the next stage of the Battle Nexus Tournament run smoothly."
"Of course, young Master," said the Gyoiji nodding his head eagerly.
"Good," said the Ultimate Ninja, walking off.
The Gyoiji vanished into thin air before appearing right by the four competitors left in the Battle Nexus Tournament.
"Champions prepare yourselves for the Semi-Final round of the Battle Nexus," said the Gyoiji before waving his mystical paddle, making a portal appear. "Step through the portal for your next contest. Fate shall randomly pair you with your next challenge in the Tournament."
Gen stepped through the portal, followed by Kluh. Then Ia stepped through. Mikey looked at the portal tentatively, waving his hand in front of it.
"Well, here goes nothing," said Mikey, before stepping through the portal.
The semi final pairings turned out to be Ia against Mikey and Kluh against Gen. The Gyoiji gave the signal and the next round of the Battle Nexus Tournament began.
The Ultimate Ninja watched the proceedings from his palace as Drako walked up behind the Ultimate Ninja.
"So," said Drako in an agitated voice.
"Yes, Drako, what is it?" asked the Ultimate Ninja.
"The war staff, give it to me as per our agreement," said Drako. "You do remember our deal. I help you become Daimyo and I get the mystical war staff."
"Just a bit longer of a wait Drako, I'm awaiting the word that your minions have eliminated the Daimyo," said the Ultimate Ninja. "Once that has happened and once I officially become Daimyo, then I shall uphold my end of the agreement. The war staff is in a safe place until that time. All I advise is a bit more patience."
The Ultimate Ninja walked off, without another word to Drako. Drako was not too pleased about the news that the Ultimate Ninja gave him.
"Bah, patience, well my patience has just run out," said Drako. "That war staff will be mine one way or another. Anyone who gets in my way will be annihilated!"
Drako growled angrily before setting off in pursuit for the mystical war staff.
On the streets of the Battle Nexus, Traximus and Raph were harassing one of the Battle Nexus officials. Traximus had the Battle Nexus official pinned up against the wall as Raph twirled his Sai.
"Master Splinter, where is he?" asked Raph in a threatening voice. "You better speak up, or else."
"I'm afraid I have no idea what you're talking about, so put me down," said the Battle Nexus official.
"Well then I guess I'm not going to stop my friend from eating ya," said Raph as Traximus licked his lips. "Dig in Trax."
The Battle Nexus Official squirmed in terror before breaking.
"Wait, wait, wait, please don't eat me," said the Battle Nexus official in a horrified voice. "You can find your sensei in the main palace, in the dungeons. Now please put me down."
Traximus dropped the Battle Nexus official who quickly scurried away as fast as he could from the Triceraton.
"I knew you'd see it our way," said Raph.
In the Healer's Pavilion, Don and Usagi kept with the battle against the Dark Assassins but the two warriors were beginning to weaken and lose badly. One of the Dark Assassin's advanced on the Daimyo, with the spear that had Usagi's sword sticking into it. The Dark Assassin raised the spear, ready to jam it right through the chest of the Daimyo but Don leapt over, before he grabbed Usagi's sword.
"Excuse me, but I believe this belongs to my friend, Usagi," said Don, kicking the Dark Assassin back at the same time that he yanked Usagi's sword out of the middle of the spear.
"Indeed Donatello and believe I have something of yours as well," said Usagi, kicking the Dark Assassin back before picking on Don's Bo Staff and whacking the Dark Assassin hard across the midsection. "Let us trade, shall we."
Weapons were exchanged as Don now had his Bo Staff and Usagi had his sword. Usagi rushed forward, yelling and clanging his sword against the spear of one of the Dark Assassins but a second Dark Assassin tossed the chain from his Kusari-Gama, knocking Usagi back into a support beam. Another whip and Usagi was wrapped around the beam, his arms pinned back and unable to defend himself.
Don was knocked back to the ground on the other end of the Healer's Pavilion and looked up in horror as a Dark Assassin moved forward towards Usagi, spear pointed towards the rabbit, ready to move in for the kill.
"Time to skewer the rabbit," said the Dark Assassin in a sadistic tone of voice but as he jabbed his spear forward, he found it blocked by a pair of katanas.
A weary, but awake Leo kicked the Dark Assassin backwards but the Dark Assassin attempted to jab at Leo but Leo managed to catch his spear and use whatever bit of strength he could muster to flip the Dark Assassin over. Leo then stepped forward, slicing Usagi free from his chains.
"Ah, Leonardo, I see you are awake and well," said Usagi, as he kicked a Dark Assassin back.
"Maybe not well but at least I'm breathing now," said Leo in a weak voice before blocking a sword swing from one of the Dark Assassins with one of his Katana before kicking the Dark Assassin in the leg.
"We need to finish them off but there is still too many of them," said Don in an anxious voice as he was kicked from behind by two Dark Assassins.
"There may be a lot of them but we need to at least keep them away from the Daimyo," said Leo, slicing his swords towards the chest of a Dark Assassin threateningly, causing him to back off.
One of the Dark Assassins pulled himself off the ground, before picking up a sword. He advanced on the Daimyo, raising his sword. The two Turtles and the rabbit were busy fighting his fellow Dark Assassins as there will be no way to stop him from finishing the Daimyo now.
Harry pushed open the door to the Healer's Pavilion, looking relieved that after an intense search, he had found what he was looking for. However, he saw the sole Dark Assassin going after the Daimyo so Harry pulled out his Portus-Amulet before transporting himself behind the Dark Assassin.
"A-hem," said Harry, tapping the Dark Assassin on the shoulder. The Dark Assassin turned around and Harry punched the Dark Assassin in the face, causing him to fall to the ground.
Another Dark Assassin charged Harry, Kusari-Gama in hand, swinging his chain, wrapping around Harry's weapon but Harry quickly turned the tables on the Dark Assassin tying him to two of his fellow Dark Assassins while using the chain. The Dark Assassins found themselves trapped and Harry grabbed the end of the Kusari-Gama not binding the Dark Assassins before tossing it up onto the pillar, hanging the Dark Assassins from the ceiling. Harry then stepped back, kicking the trapped Dark Assassins into another pair of Dark Assassins, causing the Dark Assassins to topple over.
Harry leapt over the attack, blocking the sword from the Dark Assassin's attack before spinning around and kicking him back. Springing up, Harry took another Dark Assassin out by kicking him in the face.
A Dark Assassin leapt up, cutting his fellow Assassins down from the ceiling. They hit the ground before pulling themselves back up. Usagi, Leo, and Don continued the battle but the Dark Assassins backed off, before vanishing into the wall. Harry, Usagi, Leo, and Don looked around but it appeared that the Dark Assassins had fled the scene, as the odds shifted against them despite having the advantage in numbers.
"Okay, could someone please explain to me what the hell is going on here?" asked Harry. "What exactly were those things?"
"It's a long story," said Don.
Outside the palace dungeons, Traximus and Raph were creeping around but the front entrance appeared to be guarded.
"Damn," muttered Raph. "Guards blocking the front entrance, this is going to be a bit more difficult than I had thought."
"Maybe there is another way in, unguarded, Raphael," suggested Traximus.
Raph looked upwards towards a balcony high in the palace tower, an idea forming in his head.
"So Traximus tell me, can Triceratons climb walls?" asked Raph.
In the Battle Nexus arena, the two semi final bouts were full into swing. Gen vainly attempted to block the swings from the spear from Kluh with his sword but the rhino was backed off as Kluh seemed hungry for the glory of winning the Battle Nexus Tournament. Mikey swung his nunchucks at his opponent, Ia, but she leapt over the top before kicking at Mikey, who narrowly ducked underneath. Mikey managed to wrap his hands around his opponent's trident but she stuck the trident forward, causing Mikey to fall on his back.
"Oh no, no please no!" said Mikey as he rolled out of the way of the trident connecting the ground.
Gen was getting assaulted badly by the attack from Kluh. Kluh swung forward, catching Gen flush in the chest with the wooden handle of his spear.
"I wonder if it's too late to change my bet and put my money on this guy," said Gen, who ducked a jab with the spear before batting the sharp ended of the weapon back with his sword. "Look, you seem to be a competitor with marginal intelligence, so perhaps if you just forfeit the bout, I can cut you in on a share of the winnings."
Kluh remained uncaring at Gen's offer, as the rhino barely managed to block another jab of the spear with his sword.
"Uh, how about twenty-eight," said Gen desperately but Kluh kept on the assault. "Or, thirty-seven. Maybe forty-sixty. Or perhaps you are more comfortable with getting cut in fifty-fifty."
Kluh stopped his assault and Gen thought for a brief second he had avoided a savage loss.
"I'll tell you what, I'll cut you fifty-fifty," growled Kluh before renewing his assault, jabbing his spear forward which Gen barely blocked with his sword. "Maybe right half and left half or perhaps top half and bottom half."
"Well, there's no need to be a jerk about it," said Gen but Kluh kicked Gen back, before swinging the handle of his spear but Gen crouched down, blocking the spear handle with his sword. Kluh knocked Gen back with a kick before attempting to slice his spear down right on the center of the head but Gen vanished into thin air, giving Kluh the victory in his semi final bracket.
Meanwhile, Mikey vainly dodged every attempt that Ia was making in getting Mikey into a position where she would in the Semifinal. Mikey managed to kick Ia's weapon out of her hand but she continued on the attack, attempting to kick Mikey's legs out from underneath him but Mikey managed to leap into the air before catching Ia with a vicious kick to the chest. Mikey swung his nunchucks but Ia disappeared into mid air, allowing Mikey to advance in the Battle Nexus Tournament.
"Ah yeah, I'm good," said Mikey cockily before turning around to see Kluh standing in front of him grinning sadistically. "Oh you have got to be kidding me. I've got to fight the big purple guy in the finals of the Tournament."
Kluh looked down at Mikey with a dangerous expression on his face. It was payback time for the turtle mocking him earlier. Kluh advanced on Mikey, preparing to finish him off but the Gyoiji appeared in mid air, cutting Kluh's fun short once again.
"Warriors, it is time to be transported to your final arena," said the Gyoiji, waving his paddle, causing Kluh and Mikey to vanish for a brief second before reappearing in the final arena for the Battle Nexus Tournament.
In the upper floor of the palace, a window busted, sending shards of glass flying everywhere. Raph and Traximus stepped out of the window, looking around to make sure the palace was free of guards.
"Okay, it looks like the coast is clear," muttered Raph, looking around but his sight falling on a giant curtain hanging right next to the balcony that they had came from. "Bring the curtain, Traximus, I've got an idea."
In the throne room, a group of heavily armed guards were guarding the war staff but at least half of them were knocked down to the ground. They advanced forward but Drako leapt up, taking one of the guards out with a vicious kick. Another guard was wiped out by Drako's tail as the nasty dragon swung around. One of the guards jabbed his spear forward but Drako caught it before pushing the guard to fly back, smacking heads with another guard. The final guard rushed Drako but Drako let a vicious uppercut fly, knocking the final guard back.
"Now, for what is mine," said Drako in a triumphant voice, moving towards the war staff. However, it was yanked out of Drako's reach as the dragon had his finger tips on it. "What!"
The Ultimate Ninja stepped out from behind a tapestry, the war staff in his hands.
"Ah Drako, I knew you would betray me but I just wanted to see the look on your face when I snatched the war staff away from you when you had your fingertips on it," said the Ultimate Ninja. "Did you really think I would allow you to have the staff, which is my birthright and mine alone? Now, I shall execute you for your crimes of treason against me."
The Ultimate Ninja powered up the war staff, pointing it towards Drako but the staff began to vibrate, shooting a beam of energy nowhere near the Ultimate Ninja was planning. The staff continued to vibrate, causing the Ultimate Ninja to back off as the war staff fired beams in every which direction except for where Drako was standing.
"The staff, it fights me!" yelled the Ultimate Ninja in an incredulous voice as the staff continued to randomly fire beams of light every which way but Drako.
"You fool, you should have spent more time learning how to control the war staff," said Drako, leaping up and knocking the Ultimate Ninja down with one kick. The war staff slid across the floor and Drako stepped forward, before picking up the war staff. "I on the other hand have spent years of my time studying its ways and its immense power!"
Drako powered up the war staff before blasting the Ultimate Ninja in the chest, causing him to get knocked down. The Ultimate Ninja ran off, attempting to avoid the continued assault from Drako and his newly acquired war staff.
"Run you coward but you cannot hide from my power. I shall incinerate you for daring to even think for a second you could pull one over me," said Drako as he followed the Ultimate Ninja, the war staff in hand and beams of energy blasting at the Ultimate Ninja's retreating back as he ran for his life.
In the palace, two guards were greeted by a very peculiar sight. A large figure covered in a cloak with a small head was approaching them. In reality, it was Raph sitting a top of the shoulders of Traximus underneath the curtain that they had taken. The guards stepped forward, preparing to draw their weapons at the first sign of trouble.
"I have come to speak to the captive," said Raph.
"Halt, none shall pass by the decree of the new Daimyo," said one of the guards, as the two guards pointed their spears, preparing for trouble.
"Hey point your spears away, I don't want any trouble," said Raph. The two guards stepped forward but the large arms of Traximus flew from beneath the curtain, punching both of the guards flush in the face and knocking them unconscious. "Heh, it's old hat but it works."
Raph kicked the curtain off before leaping down from the shoulders of Traximus and rushing forward to get to Master Splinter. Splinter leapt up, looking pleased at the arrival of his son.
"Raphael, you need to get me out of here," said Splinter. "I fear Leonardo and Daimyo are in grave danger and I pray that we are not too late."
"Working on it, Master Splinter," said Raph, taking out his Sai and attempting to pick the lock but this tactic wasn't just working as Raph was unable to pry the door open.
"Allow me," said Traximus, stepping forward and clutching onto the bars of the cell before yanking them apart, causing a large gap to appear. The gap was large enough so Master Splinter could step out and to freedom.
"Thank you, noble Triceraton," said Splinter graciously. "Now, let us get to the Healer's Pavilion, we have little time to waste. I'll explain on the way."
Splinter, Raph, and Traximus rushed off, straight towards the Healer's Pavilion.
In the Battle Nexus Arena, Mikey backed off as Kluh spun his spear, looking down at Mikey menacingly.
"I shall crush you little turtle," growled Kluh, before charging before but Mikey managed to avoid Kluh's assault but Kluh droved the handle of his spear into Mikey's stomach on the rebound.
Mikey flew up into the air and landed on his feet, before pulling his nunchucks out but Kluh used his spear to rip Mikey's weapons out of his hand.
"Uh, did anyone ever mention that purple looks good on you?" asked Mikey but Kluh just punched Mikey, causing the turtle to fly up into the air and land on the ground.
"Now, prepare to meet your end, weakling," said Kluh, raising his spear high above his head.
Fortunately for Mikey, the attention of Kluh was diverted as the Ultimate Ninja was blasted from the palace doors. Drako advanced forward, blasting the Ultimate Ninja again with the war staff, causing the Ultimate Ninja to fly right into the Battle Nexus Arena. Drako leapt down, raising the war staff, which sizzled with a spiral of red injury.
"Now, your end will be complete!" growled Drako, raising the war staff and preparing to blast the Ultimate Ninja with a blast of magical energy that would turn him into ashes but the Gyoiji appeared in mid air in front of Drako.
"Halt the contest. Battle Nexus rules clearly state…" started the Gyoiji but Drako blasted the Gyoiji with a jet of red light. The Gyoiji flew back.
"Any other protocol you'd like to state," said Drako, raising the war staff before turning to the Ultimate Ninja. "Now, the end of you shall be complete!"
Outside of the Healer's Pavilion, Splinter and Traximus were helping the severely weakened Daimyo walk, and Harry, Don, Leo, Raph, and Usagi were walking behind the others.
"Be strong old friend, as there is a pressing matter that must be attended to," said Master Splinter.
The Daimyo looked down weakly and what he saw horrified him.
"Drako has returned and he's got his hands on the war staff!" exclaimed the Daimyo, looking completely horrified. "The staff focuses power from the heart but there is no telling what could happen if true evil such as Drako uses it."
The Daimyo looked forth as Drako laughed evilly and sent a blast of light which the Ultimate Ninja barely avoided.
"Come, we must get the staff away from Drako's grasp," said the Daimyo, grasping his hands together, causing a dome of energy to engulf Harry, Don, Leo, Raph, Usagi, Splinter, Traximus, and himself. They disappeared before reappearing in the Battle Nexus Tournament. The Daimyo turned his attention towards Drako. "Drako, desist with using the war staff!"
Drako turned his head but his eyes fixed upon the face of one Harry Potter. The brat did indeed resemble his famous ancestor, the same one that banished Drako to that infernal realm and now Drako would take his revenge after stewing over his own defeat for the past several centuries.
"You!" exclaimed Drako, focusing the war staff towards Harry before blasting a jet of red hot light.
"Protego!" muttered Harry, wandlessly applying a shield charm. The power from the war staff blasted Harry's shield into nothingness but at the same time, the shield prevented the war staff from striking Harry.
Drako focused the war staff, preparing to blast Harry into another dimension but the staff began to vibrate in Drako's hands before the energy swirling at the top of the staff turned from red right into black!
"I was afraid this might happen," said the Daimyo. "Drako, drop the staff immediately."
"Never!" yelled the dragon but as he attempted to shoot the newly formed black energy from the staff, the staff arched upwards, blasting a swirling black vortex into the sky. In shock, Drako dropped the war staff but the damage had already been done.
"He has created an interdimensional wound that will destroy all that it touches," said the Daimyo as the arena around the Battle Nexus stadium slowly became devoid of gravity as the Turtles, Usagi, Kluh, Traximus, Harry, The Gyoiji the Ultimate Ninja, and Drako began to levitate into the air, going right towards the vortex that Drako had opened with his use of the war staff.
The war staff began to twitch on the ground but Raph managed to leap down, pinning it down with his Sai, causing it to remain immobile on the ground. The Gyoiji cried in terror as he spiraled in mid air before getting sucked right into the black vortex in the sky of the Battle Nexus and disappearing into oblivion.
Mikey whipped out one of his nunchucks, jamming it tight into the ground, managing to keep him from floating into the vortex. Swinging his nunchucks, Mikey latched upon the foot of Kluh, who was dangerously closed to also getting sucked into the vortex. A few more feet and Kluh would have been put straight in.
Traximus slammed his axe down into the ground, managing to grasp on.
"Hang on!" yelled Traximus, as Don, Harry, Usagi, and Leo managed to grab on, avoiding getting sucked right into the vortex.
The Ultimate Ninja and Drako still floated around, spinning uncertainly high above. Leo reached up, managing to grab the wrists of the Ultimate Ninja, preventing him from getting sucked straight into the vortex. Dangling close to the vortex, Drako managed to grab onto the legs of the Ultimate Ninja, hanging on for dear life. The Ultimate Ninja fought back, attempting to kick Drako and launch him straight into the vortex.
"Stop doing that you fool, you are going to make us both flying into the Vortex," growled Drako.
"Rot in the abyss, Drako," said the Ultimate Ninja sadistically as he continued to kick Drako but Drako managed to hang on, even if it was barely.
"Stop fighting, you're slipping," said Leo but the Ultimate Ninja gave one final kick which dislodged Drako but it also unfortunately caused Leo to inadvertently let go of the Ultimate Ninja. The Ultimate Ninja and Drako spiraled in mid air, hurdling straight towards the vortex.
The Daimyo looked up in horror as both his son and Drako were sucked right into the vortex and began being put to a one way trip straight into oblivion. A disgusting sizzling sound was heard the moment they passed through.
"My son, no!" screamed the Daimyo in horror but he prevented himself from running forward, as if he had stepped one foot underneath the vortex, there was a good chance he could be sucked straight through.
Raph managed to inch the war staff out from underneath his Sai before lifting it up.
"Master Splinter, catch!" yelled Raph, sending the war staff flying into the air. Splinter accurately caught it.
"Daimyo, you must act now," said Splinter, handing the war staff to the Daimyo.
"Yes, of course," said the Daimyo, taking the war staff. "I must close this rift before any others are destroyed passing through."
The Daimyo raised his war staff high above his head, shooting a beam of pure white light into the interdimensional wound. The wound slowly closed, being healed by the pure and just power that the Daimyo wielded with the war staff.
Everyone breathed a sign of relief as the wound closed but that happiness was rather short lived as everyone spiraled down from the sky, landing on the ground with a thud.
Kluh pulled himself up from behind Mikey, as Mikey attempted to yank his nunchucks out of the ground. A final yank caused Mikey's nunchuck to whip back, connecting with Kluh's head with a large crack, knocking him unconscious. Mikey turned around, looking to address Kluh.
"So ugly, does that mean we have to…fight now," said Mikey who looked rather amazed that he had knocked Kluh unconscious, even if it was rather inadvertent.
"The winner of the Battle Nexus Tournament, Michelangelo!" announced the Daimyo, causing a trophy to materialize in Mikey's hands which made both Mikey and Harry extremely happy. Harry stepped quickly off; he needed to go collect something before he departed.
"Mikey won?" asked Raph in a horrified voice.
"Yes, that's what it does look like," confirmed Don.
The crowd cheered as Mikey posed with his trophy but the Daimyo hung his head in a depressed matter before turning to Master Splinter.
"I only wish my son hadn't been led down the path of evil and hadn't been destroyed on this evening," said the Daimyo. "Now he's gone forever and there is nothing I can do to bring him back."
"Perhaps he is not as gone as you think, Daimyo," said Splinter in a gentle voice. "The Battle Nexus holds many secrets, so perhaps your son is still out there somewhere."
"Perhaps," said the Daimyo but his voice had a slightly skeptical tone. "Still, I don't want to put a damper on your celebration of your son's victory so I will be sending you home in a few moments."
Harry returned, discreetly hiding a bag of gold behind his back as he joined the rest of his family. It was extremely fortunate that Second Earth and the British Magical World had the same monetary system.
Usagi turned to Leo to address him.
"Leonardo, I must say it has been an honor battling along side you and your brothers," said Usagi.
"It is I who is honored, Usagi-san," said Leo. "Perhaps some day our paths may cross again."
"Perhaps, my son," said Master Splinter, who was listening in on the conversation. "Now let us go home."
The Daimyo touched his war staff to Mikey's trophy, transporting the Turtles, Splinter, and Harry back to the lair.
"Wow, it was like we never left," said Don.
"Interdimensional travel isn't it grand," said Harry. "We can be gone for several days and not miss a minute on earth which makes what we went through never happened."
"Oh it happened Harry, because I have the trophy to prove it," said Mikey, pointing to the trophy in a gloating matter. "See that, it says Battle Nexus Champion, which is me! The greatest warrior in all of the multiverse, which is me!"
"You only one on a technicality," growled Raph.
"Uh technically, I kicked your sorry butt in one of the bouts," said Mikey which caused Raph to launch onto Mikey, attempting to punch his brother out for that comment. Leo, Don, and Harry rushed forward, attempting to pull Raph and Mikey apart as Master Splinter observed his sons, while leaning on his walking stick.
"Ah yes, it is definitely good to be home," said Master Splinter.
Elsewhere, thousands of miles away from Earth, in throne room of the Prime Leader of the Triceraton Republic, Prime Leader Zanramon was drumming his fingers impatiently on the arm rest of his throne room. The door opened, revealing Commander Mozar walking into the throne room. Mozar kneeled down, facing the Prime Leader.
"Mozar, report," said Zanramon in a curt voice.
"Prime Leader, we have traced the teleportation trail from the Fugitoid's transmat," growled Mozar. "The final destination, the third planet from the sun."
"Excellent. Prepare for a full scale invasion of that primitive planet," ordered Zanramon. "If we must, we will rip that world apart piece by piece until we claim the Fugitoid for the glory of the Triceraton republic!"

Students decorate Christmas creations
Date: December 3, 2009
by: Loren Mayo | Staff Writer
There was evident excitement in the air, while Bay Haven third-graders began their celebration of the holiday season by making gingerbread houses in their classroom Dec. 1. Under the direction of their teacher, Michala Magenheim-Morganti, known to her students as "Ms. M&M," the youngsters created four houses covered with gumdrops, candy canes and gummies nestled on "snow-covered" roofs.
This is the first time the youngsters have competed in the annual Community Youth Development gingerbread-house event sponsored by the Sarasota YMCA. It takes place this weekend at Westfield Sarasota Square Mall.
And, the kids are also engaged in another holiday project. The class has adopted, through the Sarasota YMCA, 40 homeless teenagers and is gathering items for Christmas stockings for them. Each stocking will be accompanied by handmade cards from the students.
Assisting with the gingerbread house project were parents Victor Sosa and Jennifer DeMichele.

- Thank you for including this story! The youth and adult groups that participated had a great time and we look forward to offering this again next year.
Just for clarification - the Sarasota YMCA was not a sponsor of this event. University of South FLorida Sarasota-Manatee and Neal Communities were the sponsors.

Elnett Hairspray: The Best Ever?
Photo from Target
I've been hearing about L'Oreal's Elnett hairspray ($14 from Target) a lot lately. Lucky magazine wrote about it, Penelope Cruz is in the European commercial for it, and supposedly it's the best hairspray in the world. It holds well without being stiff and brushes out easily.
But did you know it was banned in the United States since 1987?
Apparently, it was forbidden because of the ozone damaging chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). But women (and hairstylists) who love it have smuggled it in to the States from Europe for years.
It's great to ban things that are bad for the environment, but I do think it's kind of funny how they went after hairspray and not something bigger, like say, the bus exhaust that blows black clouds all over NYC. But every little bit counts.
Well, Elnett is no longer contraband -- L'Oreal reconfigured the product and delivery so it's a more eco-friendly spray.
I haven't tried it yet, but am so curious.
Have you try Elnett? Is it the best hairspray ever?

It better be good for $14. I would love to try it, but can't justify the price.

I think the best hairspray I have ever used (and have been using for 2 years now) is Dove Extra Hold Hairspray. It is amazing :) I have extremely curly hair and with a little leave-in conditoner, a diffuser and Dove hairspray, I have ringlets everytime. It is not stiff, sticky or flaky. I sing it's praises to everyone!

I am a licensed cosmetologist, and personally, me and most of my friends (who are stylists as well) and most of my clienst are in love with Kenra 25....if you walk in any salon they will know what you are talkin about. I know it cost more than reg "over the counter" brands, but i think is worth it. I dont say that about many things, cuz i know how espensive they can be. I myself have never heard of the hairspray but it does cost abou tthe same as kenra
- --
LuminousMomApril 8, 2009 at 10:59 PM
I agree with Rhiannon... my stylist uses Kenra religiously. She gave me a free sample bottle that was like.. 2oz.. and I was so sad when it ran out! Kenra products have never done me wrong and yes they cost a bit more, but they last longer too.
I dont use hairspray all that often anymore now that my hair is long, but I might buy a can of this just to try!

RanaAuroraApril 8, 2009 at 11:04 PM
I'm going to say NO.
Why? Made by L'Oreal, meaning it's tested on animals and co-owned by Nestle.
- --
LuminousMomApril 9, 2009 at 3:54 AM
Yes.. Rana's right... L'Oreal also owns/operates : Brands: Biotherm, Cacharel, Garnier, Giorgio Armani, Helena Rubinstein, Lancôme, Matrix Essentials, Maybelline, Ralph Lauren Fragrances, Redken, Soft Sheen, Vichy
...all of which are tested on animals.
Non animal testing companies : Avon, Bobbi Brown, Clarins, Clinique, Estée Lauder, Revlon, Urban Decay and Victoria's Secret, Body Shop, and Lush.
- --
LuminousMomApril 9, 2009 at 3:58 AM
PS... to those who don't know what the actual testing is or what it consists of..
(this is just a few examples...) the product is put in the animals eyes, soft tissues (aka.. their anus and so on.. to test for reactions) its put in their mouths... they force the animals to ingest the products often.. force them to "huff" or sniff the products.. in order to document adverse reactions.
Now. I know some people would say "its just a mouse"... but when we can do these tests using SCIENCE and not ANIMALS.. why don't we? Oh.. because a mouse is cheaper? Pathetic excuse. Every creature on this earth can feel pain.
I am guilty of buying products without doing my research first.. I am going to remind myself from now on that companies who test on animals no longer will get a dollar out of me.

I never knew how products were tested on animals until now. What hair products aren't tested on animals. Thanks so much for the info!

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Two small children critically injured in a flash fire in Albany Friday night continue to fight for their lives at the Burn Center in Augusta.
Both 3-year-old Jeremiah Fenn Junior and 1-year-old Ja'el Fenn are critical.
Friday night, an intense flash fire in the 1600 block of Ken Gardens Road badly burned the two and their mother Jessica Fenn was also burned as she tried to save them.
Fire investigators say vapors from a gas can that was left in the utility room of the home are likely to blame.
"It's not an uncommon occurrence, I should say," said Albany Asst. Fire Chief Ron Rowe. " think if you went around town, you would find many people with the same situation. I think it is a reminder though, maybe we should double check on safety measures at home."
The children's father, Jeremiah Fenn is a police officer for the Marine Corps Logistics Base. He formerly worked at the Dougherty County Police Department.

Northern Michigan Forum-Share Events, Travel Ideas, Photos, Videos
Rico Cruz (front) and Brian Price on cross-country skis, cutting through the cattails near Shell Lake in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.
I have a friend who loves to cross-country ski, but avoids trails. For him XC means sticking to the roots of the sport—leaving the trail as soon as possible and busting off through the untracked snow in forest and meadow and in the occasional swamp. This Sunday, to enjoy the off-road XC gestalt, we headed to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore about 9:30 in the morning. The snow base was frozen to a solid mass from the chill night, and a very smooth and gloriously slippery 3 inches of fresh snow was sitting on top. We were out for about three hours, just wandering around on cross-country skis, basically. At one point, Brian (the guy who loves to leave the trail) said, "I've never gone from here through the swamp to Shell Lake, but this snowpack might make it possible—let's try it." My other friend, Rico, said, "sure." And we crashed on through the cattails with 6-feet-long skis. Believe it or not, it wasn't really all that crazy. But at one point, even Brian conceded the mission was probably more fit for snowshoes than skis, given the increasingly thick tangle of fallen trees and we turned back. Overall, though, most of the skiing was across open meadow and forest—easy peasy. So anyway, point of this short story is that it's always good to get outside with friends and family and wander around, especially when it's cold out because it makes you feel so alive.
A steep ridge rose to the west, and we skied along its base.
A bit of sun came out, adding a nice touch to an already great Sunday morning.

Narrowing My Career Differential
After having spent a bit of time in every rotation, I am beginning to have a better idea of what career paths interest me. This is important as the fourth year elective selection process begins.
- (Cardiac Surgery)
- (Community Medicine/Public Health/Preventive Medicine)
- (Diagnostic Radiology)
- Emergency Medicine
- Family Medicine
- Rural Family Medicine
- General Surgery
- Internal Medicine
- (Laboratory Medicine)
- (Medical Genetics)
- (Military Family Medicine)
- (Adult Neurology)
- (Paediatric Neurology)
- (Neurosurgery)
- (Nuclear Medicine)
Obstetrics and Gynaecology Ophthalmology Orthopaedic Surgery Paediatrics
- (Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation)
- (Plastic Surgery)
- Psychiatry
- (Radiation Oncology)
- (Urology)
What once was not a major consideration for me, psychiatry has peaked my interest. There was something very enjoyable about the slow methodical pace and the time spent helping an individual. I will look into this more.
Surgery, though I leave on the list, is fading in my aspirations. It just is not offering the balance that I am looking for though I enjoy the procedural aspect of its craft.
I find myself further and further exploring the life of a general practice. I will need to spend more time in each to have a better impression. But my, how things change!
Disclaimer: The specialties in parenthesis and italicized are those that I have not had experience with. To that end, I cannot comment if these specialties will appeal to me and will not cross them out just yet. The full list is a representation of all Canadian medical residency programs.

Sky7 was over the scene of a house fire in New Hampshire Monday where explosions were reported and two people were killed.
Neighbors said they heard explosions inside the home in Mooresville Road but firefighters were unable to confirm this. Officials did say that when they arrived several windows had been blown out and the front of the home had already suffered "significant damage."
Neighbor Kathy Burtram saw and felt what happened.
"My car shook and the roof line of the house opened up and insulation and smoke just started pouring out of the roof of the house. My daughter said 'Mom, that house just blew up,'" Burtram said.
The fire was reported around 2 p.m. and emergency personnel were on the scene shortly after. Firefighters say they still don't know how the blaze started, but they did say there was no natural gas running to the home.
The two people were found dead by firefighters, but they have not been identified. An elderly couple who lives in the house was recently on vacation, it is not clear if they had returned yet or not.
"I don't know what to think right now. I just hope they weren't inside, that's all I can say," Laura Mitchell, the homeowners' grandniece said.
"I was hysterical because I was right here. I couldn't help them. That's terrible," Burtram said.
Relatives have been unable to reach the couple, or their adult son, who was last seen leaving the house earlier in the day.
Police, fire and ATF officials are saying little about the investigation, they do say everything's on the table including the possibility of foul play.
"Basically, it's like a jigsaw puzzle we have to find all the pieces of the puzzle and put those pieces together to figure out what happened in there," Rob Farley, Manchester Fire Marshall, said.
Investigators won't say if there was trauma to the bodies, they haven't released the sex or the age of the bodies they found in the house; they say it's still too early in the investigation to give those details.

After God loses faith in humanity, the archangel Michael (Paul Bettany) is the only one standing between mankind and the apocalypse. This time using angels as the act of Biblical judgment, God's wrath descends on Earth to exterminate the world's population. In a desperate, last-chance gambit, Michael leads a group of strangers to a small, New Mexico diner to protect a young waitress who may be pregnant with Christ in his second coming.
Basic Information
- Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1
- Filming Locations: New Mexico, USA
- MPAA Warning: Strong bloody violence, and language
- Production Budget: $26 million
- Production Companies: Bold Films
- Production Schedule: March 2008 - May 2008
Featured Articles
2010 Guide Analysis: "Having played two priests and a monk in recent years, Paul Bettany as an angel doesn't seem like much of a stretch. The film on the other hand looks like pure hokum, essentially yet another exposition heavy warrior angel take on Christian mythology seen before in the likes of "The Prophecy," "Gabriel," "Fallen," and one of the most consistent series on TV lately "Supernatural".
Yet there's stuff that could work. The small group trapped in a doomsday scenario is usually effective, the angel effects and wings do look good, and the cast is pretty decent considering the material. Many of the cast claimed to have signed on because of writer/director Scott Stewart's script focusing more on building complex characters than justifying its otherworldly premise. We'll know either way in a few weeks."

If you hadn't noticed from Volvo's "naughty" S60 ad campaign from last year, the company wanted you to know that its midsized sedan, with its turbocharged six and all-wheel drive, could hang with ultimate driving machines and made progress through technology. In a series of commercials featuring the new S60 in full-on hoonage mode, complete with a hard-driving guitar soundtrack, Top Gear-esque quick edits and the sound of tires begging for mercy, you'll eventually get the message that, no, this is not your father's Volvo.
At the end of the commercial titled, "The Slalom Test—Naughty Level 2," the question is posed: "Want it even naughtier?"
Yes, we do, Volvo, because we're a little jaded.
Well then, say hello to Polestar. Unfortunately, Polestar isn't what you get when you combine a pole dancer with a porn star. (Sometimes they do both, don't they?) Polestar Racing is essentially Volvo's equivalent to AMG or BMW M and, according to the literature, is known more formally as Volvo's "Official Racing and Performance Partner." Since 1996, Polestar has raced Volvo 850s, S40s and S60s in regional and worldwide Touring Car racing series, with titles in both the Swedish and Scandinavian Touring Car Championships in 2009 and 2010.
They've been racing the C30 since 2008, so they know it inside and out. This one was built to showcase Polestar's expertise and promote their line of Performance Power Optimization products. Volvo gave them free rein to create a vision of the ideal roadgoing C30.
And instead of just building something naughty, Polestar got raunchy. They took a turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder and replaced the pistons and con rods with beefier pieces. Then they added a KKK 26 turbo and put in a bigger intake cam and larger intercooler to create an engine that puts out 400 hp and 376 lb-ft of torque.
That much power would be useless going through just the front wheels, so Polestar also took the Haldex all-wheel-drive system from a V50 and then adjusted the power distribution to get it to handle the way they wanted. Thinking even that wouldn't be enough to keep things under control, Quaife differentials are used front and rear. A reinforced Sachs clutch sends power through the six-speed manual gearbox, and the exhaust is a 3.0-inch stainless steel custom piece of work.
Stepping into the stiff clutch is like doing your last rep on the leg press machine with just one leg. Pressing the starter button is a lot easier and fills the interior with the booming, unfiltered, worble-n-woofle of the inline five. The shifter is light and gears are easy to find, but engagement with the clutch is either on or off.
Once on the move, it's easy to modulate the power. As you feel your way around the throttle's travel, you're rewarded in kind. It's more than willing to knock your head back and plaster you to the seat, if that's how you get off. Or you can play the sadist by punishing the tarmac and scaring your passenger. Master or servant, giver or receiver, it doesn't matter.
The turbo comes on shortly after 2000 rpm and its power curve is fatter than a deep-fried, triple-bacon-and-cream cheeseburger. It's juiciest at mid revs and sets the car up perfectly to explode out of corners using all four of its tires. For this, Polestar set up the suspension with Ohlins coilovers, ultra lightweight 8.75x19 BBS Forged Individual wheels and the new Michelin Super Sports in 235/35. It's a combo that produces astonishing levels of grip and stability, letting you dive hard and fast into turns without protest. After the apex, it's just a matter of pointing and shooting.
For brakes, Polestar went with Brembo six-piston calipers and 15-inch discs in front and four-piston calipers and 13-inch discs in rear. They're classic Brembo: firm pedal, hard-biting and fade-free. Polestar also put in a faster steering rack. It was direct and quick, but there were times, especially mid-corner, when I was trying to hold the line, the steering went light and lifeless when it should've been resistant. On a production car that's a no-no, but on a concept car it's an idiosyncrasy.

Keeping Up with the Fast Moving World of Web Design
The web design and development is a fast moving entity that carries the tag of cutting edge technology on its back and never sleeps!
Web design today, has given a whole new look, feel and experience to marketing and has evolved as the most economical, quick, state of art and innovative platform for companies to market their products and services. It has also become the most common, practical and effective form of communication between various entities for almost all needs. Whatever is the objective of the design whether e-commerce, social networking, art and design, entertainment, filming, media, real estate, education, transportation or travel, can all be accessed over various mediums. With just a click on your computer, tablet or mobile you can access a world of information.
Web development is about a variety of things and some of them are:
- Niche marketing
- Brand Management
- Innovative design and architecture
- Widgets and applications
- Communication and networking
- Search engine optimization
- Multiple media design and development
- Open source and custom solutions
- Security and encryption
With soaring demand there is a quantum increase in the opportunities and avenues it has opened for everyone. Where there are opportunities and avenues there is also that much competition. Winners are of course people or companies that are ahead in the race and come up with unique and innovative ideas, whether the objective is to showcase their product, service or skill.
How does it work?
From conceptualization to hosting a website there is a lot involved to ensure the website draws the attention it is suppose to. Conceptualization includes deciding on the purpose and strategy behind the website, followed by conveying the product, service or skill one needs to broadcast. The next step is really on the 'how to' part of the design which is where one can choose to get professional help like web designers, graphic designers, programmers and network specialists. These skilled professionals guide you through channels, designs, platforms and application options for you to select the most appropriate choices for completing your website. Alternatively if you are a tech savvy person or company you can design your own website provided you have some know how of applications that are required like Dreamweaver, word press, Photoshop etc.
There are a lot of companies that provide end to end web development services for your website and you must consider giving business to a company that has created a niche for itself in the business. The success of your business will truly depend upon the way your website has been designed therefore do your research on selecting the right web service provider.
For all you customers who live in the city of Los Angeles in California state are blessed with a lot of options in having your website built by professionals. It always helps if you know what kind of provider you are looking for and that is the least effort you can put into your website. Listed are a few pointers that can help you select the right provider for your web development needs:
- Check on what can they do for you: As a customer you can always enquire a service provider on their USPs and how are you benefitted if you were to give business to them.
- Check on what technologies do they use in building websites and then map your requirement versus technologies they use.
- Check on whether they use Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to ensure traffic for your website. In addition also enquire on the components they use within SEO.
- Check with them if they have a skilled staff for graphic designing, programming and content writing.
- You can ask them to share a few websites they have developed to understand and view platforms, designs and SEO effectiveness on those websites.
- Check to see how interactive are the websites that they have developed.
With all the information now available on the internet research and selection is not all that difficult. Some providers also put up testimonials, which is an indicator of how professional or helpful they have been in promoting their clients' business. Once a website is developed and hosted it needs to be maintained so it is a good idea to check with your provider on their site maintenance policy and rates.
Interestingly, the top 10 providers that are pulled up on various search engines are more likely to attract traffic for your website as they have done it for themselves.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."
This polupare and very appreciated quote is told by Jules (alias Samule L. Jackson) during two memorables PULP Fiction scenes: the first time is when Vincent and Jules are in Brett 's house. In that scene, Jules is still a very bad guy and uses to quote this Bible's quote to impress his victims. In the following you can see one of the our famouse picture's quote of the scene (you can easily share it on facebook, twitter and whatever).
The second time is in the final scene (in the coffe shop, during a breakfast) when Pumpkin and Yolanda try to steel him the wallet and the briefcase. This time Jules is a different man, a converted guy convinced that God saved him through a miracol. For that reason don't shoot Pumpkin boy, give him some money and let him and his girlfriend go (but he don't give them the misterious briefcase wich must be returned to his owner: the boss Marcellus Wallace).
Enjoy one the picturequote:

A little about me...
I enjoy learning, and take every opportunity available to increase that capacity of self. I enjoy reading, driving, dinners, and long drives on the highways, traveling, or walking on the beach. I enjoy movies, fishing, riding a bike, bowling, and long walks. Sometimes, I also enjoy being still and listening to jazz. Love Barbara Streisand movies, like Prince of Tides and Nuts. Only series I watched were the Sopranos. I try to be objective, and a great listener.
About the one I'm looking for...
Communication is important, so I'd love someone who is not afraid to share what's going on, instead of having me try to guess. I'm a little romantic, I enjoy candle lit dinners, long walks, museums. I'd like to have healthy debates. I enjoy football, boxing, and some basketball. Loved the Olympics.
I'd just like to add...
Pretty proud and close to my children and family. Professional and with the ability to be concerned about civil and social matters, and is capable of both of us being on the opposite sides of a debate..

The Ice Cream Lifestyle #2
I wish I had remembered to take photos! I had a 'Ice Cream Soiree' at my home last night with some fabulous friends. The flavors on the table were:
Mexican Coffee
Coconut & Cherries
Blackberry Sorbet
Papaya-Lime Sorbet
Goat Cheese & Pears
Vanilla Peach & Blackberries
It was so much fun, and even more so to receive glowing compliments from my foodie friends/ice-cream tasters.
@Faustfatale: Blown away by @lilita_yaya 's ice cream as usual. Fave flavors: Pistachio apricot and coconut with roasted cherries. Also papaya lime sorbet
@ChanningHansen: @lilita_yaya makes the best ice cream ever. Yes, better than Scoops. Honey Goat Cheese + roasted pears (w goats milk) is to die for.
Aw! Better than Scoops? Wow, what a compliment!
On June 26th, 2011 I am going to be at the Pasadena Food Swap with some homemade ice cream. I have never participated in a public food swapping/sharing event before and I'm both nervous and excited. Sign up! Join in! See you there!

Something Different
Something different
That's all you foresee?
But can you accept
the different in me?
Physical messiness devours
my starving outside
Innocent soul screams
Tidiness cowers inside
Love crashes against my
brick wall of hurt
A constant reminder of her words
flung in dirt
Yet her smiles soften my heart
oh so syrupy sweet
Kisses cotton soft
Kill battles,scratch defeat
Different is a curse in a
world filled of Eros and hate
Different in me emits
passion etched keys,unlocking all gates
Something different,
that`s all you foresee?
But will you accept
the different in me?

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Heals ARE getting a nerf. We'll have more health to play with, and thus heals will either be more expensive or heal for less total, meaning getting someone back to full quickly won't be easy in PvP or PvE. I think there will be more instances in Cata of DPS running around at half health more often because heals have to be selective about who they heal and about which heals to use.

Molecule of the Week
March 17, 2014
Paraquat (1,1′-dimethyl-4-4′-bipyridinium dichloride) is a nonselective contact herbicide. (The dication alone is also called paraquat; disubstituted 4-4′-bipyridinium salts are known as viologens.) Reports of the synthesis and properties of viologens date back to 1870, but paraquat was not recognized as an herbicide until 1955. Although it has been banned in some countries, it is one of the world's most commonly used herbicides.
Paraquat is toxic and often fatal to mammals: It causes acute respiratory distress and ulceration of the digestive tract. Because of its ready availability, it is frequently used in suicides in developing countries and was used as a poison in some notorious murders.
Like rotenone, paraquat has been implicated in Parkinson's disease. Many epidemiological studies show a Parkinson's–paraquat link, but neurological studies on paraquat-treated mice have been inconclusive.
More about this molecule from CAS, the most authoritative and comprehensive source for chemical information.

Media Release
Senator the Hon Robert Hill
Leader of the Government in the Senate
Minister for the Environment
11 February 1997
Federal Environment Minister Robert Hill has launched Australia's first national assessment of river health AUSRIVAS (Australian Rivers Assessment Scheme).
2000 river sites across Australia will be monitored using AUSRIVAS, the first such assessment on a continental scale.
Senator Hill says programs such as AUSRIVAS will help set priorities for the clean up of our rivers under the Natural Heritage Trust.
"Given the critical importance of rivers to the nation's social, environmental and economic well being, it is essential that we can rapidly and objectively evaluate river health.
"The need for a national system for assessing the health of Australia's rivers was emphasised in the recent State of the Environment report.
"AUSRIVAS includes a computer model based on the monitoring of macroinvertebrates that will assess the ecological health of rivers.
"The AUSRIVAS program will help assess the pollution in our rivers, assist in improving water quality management, and provide much needed input into other environmental monitoring such as State of Environment Reporting and the National Land and Water Audit."
The national implementation of AUSRIVAS has been made possible by the strong cooperation and support of all States and Territories.
The government is also funding complementary research into techniques for managing water flows in rivers.
The Howard Government is also committed to improving the health of Australia's waterways through the National Rivercare Initiative and Murray Darling 2001 Project under the Natural Heritage Trust.
