Getting their basketball season underway before the Thanksgiving break, the women of Chestnut Hill College got out to an 0-3 start, but showed signs of progress in these early road games against challenging opponents. After falling to the University of the District of Columbia, 86-51, and New York's Molloy College, 65-43, the Griffins played a much more competitive contest at the New York Institute of Technology, losing 80-70 to a Lady Bears squad that includes three transfers from NCAA Division I schools.
"We've played some terrific competition, but that will make us well-prepared for conference play," observed new head coach Laura Pruitt, who came to Chestnut Hill after serving as both a player and assistant coach at Dowling College on Long Island.
Commenting on the November 19 clash at NYIT, the new skipper said, "I felt we were the better team for 35 minutes, then we missed foul shots down the stretch, and had too many turnovers. At one point we had four freshmen on the floor."
In the early going, Pruitt has been trying to give each of her players a chance to display their skills, not an easy task with 16 on the roster. The team's blend of experience and fresh talent was reflected in the box score from the battle with the Bears.
Junior forward Lindsay Alexander (5'11"), an impact player since her freshman season, scored 15 points and pulled four rebounds, and the Griffins got 10 points and a team-high eight boards from senior Ebony Washington, a six-foot forward who shored up CHC's inside game when she arrived as a transfer last winter. At the guard spot, junior Marqesah Spicer produced 14 points and a pair of steals.
Two rookies also gave strong performances. Lila Jones' 12 points and four assists helped her clinch Rookie of the Week honors in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference, while fellow guard Tenisha Townsend-Mobley had nine points, five rebounds, and two assists.
Washington and Alexander are team tri-captains this year along with senior forward Ashlen Stayrook, who has been with the squad all four years. The other two seniors on the squad are swing player Aiesha Smith, who averaged four points a game for the Griffins last year, and reserve forward Jenn Delahanty.
Guard Latoya Laing, a junior, appeared in all 26 of the Griffins' contests last season, averaging over four points per game. Other players back from last year's squad are the backcourt trio of junior Asha Jones and sophomores Victoria Mazzeo and Megan Shaughnessy.
Alexander and Washington appear to be the constants in the line-up, but aside from that, Pruitt revealed, "I'm the type of coach who tends to go with the people who are playing well, so the girls on the bench have to be ready to go when they get the opportunity."
As to the overall nature of her team, the new mentor said "We're a defense-oriented team, and we'll switch things up and throw a lot of different looks at our opponents. On offense, we're looking to play team basketball and have a lot of movement off-the-ball."
One nagging problem in the early games has been a struggle to maintain ball possession.
"It feels like we were leading the nation in turnovers," said Pruitt, who saw the Griffins give up the rock 32 times in the NYIT game. "Obviously, we need to take better care of the basketball or we'll be putting ourselves at a huge disadvantage in every game."
A player who will become eligible in the new year should help with the ball handling chores and the perimeter offense. Freshman guard Olivia Gorczynski is a 1000-point scorer from Bishop McCarrick, which is located in a basketball hotbed in central New Jersey.

Very brilliant indeed, and very very sad.
I loved the puzzles.
This is a wonderful little game, I must say.
The story being told is simple, but strong enough to keep you from wanting to quit. You really do find yourself wanting to know more about this boy and girl and how their relationship goes. Of course, this story doesn't quite have a happy ending, but stories would become boring if everything ended happily ever after, wouldn't they? Yeah, I think they would. Overall, the tale is powerful even if it is fairly simple, and it keeps you thinking even after the game has ended.
The gameplay is also simple, but the game is challenging enough to make you think long and hard about the puzzle you're being confronted with. But as stated before, your desire to continue the story helps prevent you from giving up. And that's definitely a great accomplishment. I also would like to add that I deeply enjoyed the little leitmotif you had going on throughout the game; ya' know, that eerie music? It definitely gives you the feeling of being in some kind of dark factory, but it doesn't completely scare you away. It's strangely mystical, much like the story. So it was a wise decision to add it to the game. I commend you for that!
All in all, it's a very nice, challenging game with a thought provoking, sad story. I may not necessarily return to it, as it's quite short (that shortness being the reason it's getting a 4.5 rather than a complete 5 stars) and there's nothing else for it to really offer besides the story, but I will be sure to keep it in mind for quite some time. And I'm very glad that I played it. It really did earn the honor of being called an "art game".
Thank you for sharing this game with everyone online.
it not nice game
It's a nice game,wouldn't go back to it though. (sorry)

What's new at Antrim 1844? Not much, really.
If it wasn't your thing then, it still won't be now. But If you enjoyed coming up to Taneytown for your 30th anniversary dinner at the Smokehouse Restaurant, you won't regret the drive up to northwest Carroll County for your 40th. For one thing, the fixed price for six-course meal is $68.50, which is only $8 more than it was in 2002.
The dining rooms, set on a lower level of the 1844 mansion, are as you remember them, formally set with pretty china and glassware, but cool and comfortable. As ever, the service is on point but not haughty, and the Antrim wine list, both in depth and variety, is still first-rate.
Michael Gettier, the popular Baltimore chef who arrived at the Antrim in 2001, is still signing his name to the menu — literally. Diners are given a menu signed by Gettier as a keepsake of their special evening.
Your entrance will be greeted, just as you remembered, with an invitation from the staff to "make yourself at home." In the spring and summer, you can stroll the pretty grounds, but in the late fall and winter, you'll gather for "cocktail hour" in the inn's formally decorated parlors with other guests, couples and families celebrating their own special occasions.
There are fireplaces and a pianist to distract you from thinking too hard about trying not to knock anything over while you're waiting to be called to your table.
This parlor scene goes on for about 45 minutes past your reservation time, which makes it feel more like a first act than a prelude. I'm not sure you could skip it even if you wanted to.
Waiters will be around to serve cocktails. These are added to your bill, even when they bring you scotch when you asked for rye. They come around with hors d'oeuvres, too, which are complimentary. There were several passes of a tasty artichoke tartlet and one pass of a fig and prosciutto stack that we wish had come back.
The hors d'oeuvre we were offered first and most often, though, was pigs-in-the-blanket. They were announced as Coney Island dogs, but they were plain old pigs-in-the-blanket. They were not, in case you're wondering, "house-cured bison in phyllo dough with stone-ground mustard." They were those hot dogs in pastry that you're happy to see at a wedding.
The menu's six-course format has remained consistent. Diners choose from five or so appetizers and entrees. The other courses are all predetermined. In other words, you take them or leave them.
We wanted to leave most of them. The opening amuse bouche of venison bologna and honey mustard was neither amusing nor a thing you could eat in one bite. A salad jolie consisting of lettuce, grape tomatoes, papadam crackers, and jaggedly cut cubes of smoked salmon verged on an insult. The iced intermezzo tasted like cranberry cocktail. The panache of chef's desserts, an arrangement of swan-shaped cream puff with balls and foam, came across as wedding food.
With four of the courses laying eggs, the appetizer and the entree have to work extra hard. The closest anything came was an entree of pan-seared, marinated lamb rib chops. Served with a white-wine demi-glace, the two chops were beautifully browned, perfectly cooked and handsomely presented over bacon- and sausage-braised cabbage.
There were other good moments. With the appetizers, I liked the grilled halloumi and roasted pineapple mustard on the fruit and cheese plate. The oysters in the crispy fried oyster appetizer were plump and pleasantly briny under a golden crust. They were presented oddly, though, on a piece of toasted bread that you could neither easily slice through nor pick up without getting sauce on your fingers.
Predominating the meal were things that were OK but not special. These included a grilled chicken corn chowder that offered little beyond its superficial flavors, as well as a pan-seared black Angus filet mignon, served with duchesse potatoes. Sliced and served with both a red wine demi-glace and a Bearnaise sauce, the steak was underseasoned and overcooked.
But there's still considerable pleasure to be derived from an Antrim evening, especially if you approach it not so much as a dinner as the performance of a dinner, in which you're both the audience and a willing participant.

When Maj. Chris Costello of the Pennsylvania National Guard received his fourth overseas deployment in a decade, this time to Kuwait in 2012, he decided to go back to school — in the Arabian Desert.
Along with 20 other soldiers at Camp Buehring, about 10 miles south of the Iraqi border, Costello enrolled in an online MBA course through Marywood University, more than 6,000 miles away.
Camels would roam the outskirts of the base. Most of the servicemen and -women lived in tents. And sandstorms sometimes knocked out the basewide Wi-Fi and sent some of the soldier-students scrambling through the stinging wind for a better connection in the recreation hall. As an officer, Costello had the benefit of living in an air-conditioned apartment on the base with his own Internet connection.
"The biggest challenge I had was dusting the place," chuckled Costello, now 48 and living in Telford with his family.
The modern comforts and technological advances of online education are allowing more people to get degrees when life prevents or discourages a trip back to a brick-and-mortar school.
According to the Babson Survey Research Group, which has tracked students in online education since 2002, more than 7.1 million higher education students took at least one online course in fall 2012, the most recent time for which data is available. In the fall of 2002, 1.6 million students stayed home from class and took a college course on their computer screen.
A little over a third of all higher education students took an online course in 2012, an all-time high, according to the research group.
Costello, who is back to working as a military instructor at Valley Forge Military College, and other middle-aged students with full-time jobs and families, rave about the flexibility of an online program, which allows them to hop on to a computer after children go to bed to post in a mandatory online discussion or watch a recorded video lecture on a tablet on a lunch break.
Andrew Trinovitch, 47, from Spring Brook Township, said he takes the online MBA program at the University of Scranton as a way to boost his résumé without sucking up all the time in his life.
"I want to spend as much time with my children as possible. Pretty soon (my 15-year-old son) will be hitting me up for gas money. My daughter still thinks I'm the greatest, but in a couple years …" he trailed off with a laugh.
Concerns about a lack of face time with the instructor and the quality of online education are overblown, several online students said, pointing toward the ease in which most people operate and communicate via the World Wide Web.
And "the technology today has advanced to a point that a lot of those drawbacks are disappearing," said Kingsley Gnanendran, Ph.D., a professor of operations management at the University of Scranton who also oversees the online MBA program there. "What we try to do is mimic a freewheeling classroom discussion."
Videoconferencing software allows online classes to get guest lectures — What The Fork food truck chef and co-founder Mario Bevilacqua addressed the military Marywood class in January — and mandatory posting requirements on message boards mean students had better know their stuff before they put themselves out there, Gnanendran said.
But online education is not for everyone. Nearly half of the 20 soldiers who started the program with Major Costello dropped out or have put a freeze on their studies, he said. This type of strenuous education is for self-starters who can organize their time and get the work done while juggling everything else, said Trinovitch, who will sometimes arrive early to pick up his son from Boy Scouts just to steal an hour to do coursework on his iPad in the car.
That spinning-plate act is also paying off for Costello, who is scheduled to graduate in the fall. The former Iraqi military trainer is considering using his skills to become an entrepreneur after he leaves the military.
"I never thought I would own my own business," he said. "But if there's a good opportunity, that may be a road I go down, and it's all because of this class."

So, I began making battle reports for various games a little while ago and I finally got a chance to do a battle using BrikWars. I've been posting them to Flikr (I'll have to find someplace better soon) for a (very small) handful of viewers but I felt I would be remiss in not posting it here, despite the fact that some of its elements weren't very BrikWarsy. I wrote up the accompanying story later and tried to remain true to at least the spirit of the brikverse. Pretty sure I took liberties, though.
I wasn't sure how to handle the post here, though. The report consists of a little over 100 pictures. Not to mention my overwhelming verbosity. So I thought I'd just post the flikr link here:
Hope you enjoy it.

Wood helps Cubs beat Reds 3-0
CINCINNATI — Travis Wood got his first win in months and impressed his former pitching coach along the way.
Wood pitched six innings of two-hit ball against his former team, leading the Chicago Cubs to a 3-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night.
Wood (8-11) struck out five and walked one in his first victory since he pitched eight innings in a 3-0 win at Philadelphia on June 15. The left-hander, who made the All-Star team last season, was 0-6 with a 5.45 ERA in his previous 12 starts.
"That was nice," he said. "My command was good. I was able to keep the ball down in the zone and get some quick outs."
Arismendy Alcantara hit a two-run shot and Anthony Rizzo connected for his 30th homer for the Cubs, who have won four in a row for the first time since June 30-July 4.
Cincinnati was shut out for the 12th time this season. Johnny Cueto (15-8) struck out eight in 6 1/3 innings in his second straight loss after winning seven consecutive decisions.
Wood improved to 2-5 with a 3.30 ERA in nine career starts against the Reds.
"He was commanding both sides of the plate with his cutter," said Cincinnati manager Bryan Price, who was the pitching coach when Wood was with the Reds. "He didn't give us anything good to hit."
Neil Ramirez struck out the side in the seventh, Pedro Strop pitched the eighth and Hector Rondon finished for his 22nd save.
Rizzo went deep with two out in the first, driving a 2-1 pitch into the seats in right. He joined Miami's Giancarlo Stanton as the only two National Leaguers with at least 30 home runs.
Starlin Castro, in his first game back from the bereavement list, followed with a single as the rain increased, forcing a 50-minute delay just five minutes into the game.
Cueto blamed the rain for Rizzo's home run.
"I was upset," he said with catcher Brayan Pena serving as his interpreter. "They knew it was going to rain. They should've called timeout and not started the game. I was afraid I was going to hit him with a pitch. I couldn't grip the ball."
Wood stayed loose by throwing in the cage about every 15 minutes. That work, plus throwing 96 pitches, led to manager Rick Renteria lifting him.
"To be honest, that was an easy decision," Renteria said.
Alcantara followed Matt Szczur's leadoff single in the seventh with his fifth homer of the season and second in two games. He also homered on Sunday against Baltimore in Chicago's final home game before embarking on a seven-game, six-day road trip.
Tuesday's 50-minute rain delay was the 21st for the Reds this season.
The Cubs have hit at least one home run in 10 consecutive games for their longest such stretch since a 10-game run from Aug. 2 through Aug. 12, 2011.
RHP Daniel Corcino celebrated his 24th birthday by making his major league debut, pitching the ninth for Cincinnati. He was recalled from Double-A Pensacola on Friday.
Cubs: RHP Jacob Turner makes his first start for Chicago after two relief appearances since being acquired from Miami on Aug. 8.
Reds: RHP and new father Mat Latos, hurt by blown saves in two of his last three starts, makes his second start of the season against Chicago.
Cubs: RF Ryan Sweeney left after the top of the second. He grabbed his left hamstring while running out a grounder. Rizzo left the game in the eighth with lower back tightness.

|Mobile, AL
|High School:
|Marion Military Academy
Major: Electrical Engineering
Why did you choose to come to the Coast Guard Academy? I chose to come to the CGA because it was the best idea for my future. I attended prep school last year, which helped me solidify my decision in coming to the academy. Also, the Genesis Invitational helped me want to come to the Academy because of how small the school is, and the family atmosphere that I would experience here.
How long have you been sailing? How did you start sailing? I have been sailing for only a year. After sailing during Swab Summer I thought that it would be something different and a good experience.
What is your favorite thing about the sailing team at Coast Guard? I like the camaraderie on the team. We all get along and have fun on and off the water. Everyone challenges each other and is always willing to help a shipmate out.
What other activities/positions/clubs are you involved with on campus? I am part of the Spectrum Club, Genesis Club, IEEE, and SWE.
What is the sailing achievement that you are most proud of? Almost winning in a women's regatta, and competing well during the season.
What are your future sailing plans and career goals after graduation? I want to become a better crew, and upon graduation I would like to go Sector and then into another branch of the Department of Homeland Security, possibly the NSA.
Tell us something that your teammates would be surprised to know about you. I love all things computers, and I am a videographer, photographer, and graphic designer.

How Experian Sold Consumer Data To Popular ID Theft Service
from the oops dept
Basically, U.S. Info Search had an information sharing deal with a company called Court Ventures -- who was purchased by Experian in early 2012. The deal between USIS and Court Ventures was that both parties could sell their data, but in both cases, they're supposed to only sell it to registered US businesses. Apparently Court Ventures wasn't all that careful about that requirement. It appears that Ngo convinced Court Ventures that he worked for a US-based private investigator, and that was enough for Court Ventures. Krebs spoke to the CEO of U.S. Info Search, Marc Martin, who provided more info, which he found out after hearing about all this from the Secret Service:
While the private investigator ruse may have gotten the fraudsters past Experian and/or CourtVentures' screening process, according to Martin there were other signs that should have alerted Experian to potential fraud associated with the account. For example, Martin said the Secret Service told him that the alleged proprietor of Superget.info had paid Experian for his monthly data access charges using wire transfers sent from Singapore.There's a lot more in Krebs' piece (go read it), about what happened here (as well as more info on Ngo). But the open question is whether or not the FTC might also go after Experian for allowing this to happen. It also raises questions about how well the giant data brokers protect consumer info (answer to nearly all of those questions: they don't). Furthermore, the piece details how the FTC has been taking an increasing interest in these kinds of issues, but hasn't really done much for many years, and how that's more or less allowed these kinds of scams to happen with frightening regularity.
"The issue in my mind was the fact that this went on for almost a year after Experian did their due diligence and purchased" Court Ventures, Martin said. "Why didn't they question cash wires coming in every month? Experian portrays themselves as the databreach experts, and they sell identity theft protection services. How this could go on without them detecting it I don't know. Our agreement with them was that our information was to be used for fraud prevention and ID verification, and was only to be sold to licensed and credentialed U.S. businesses, not to someone overseas."

1. Re: Adobe Color Management Module 64bit supportdonkom Nov 29, 2010 1:06 PM (in response to Ro_Gi)
I'd really like this as well. I just downloaded Canon's IPF plugin for Photoshop 64bit and it cannot use Adobe CMM because no 64-bit version exists yet.
I would hopefully assume that since this software from Canon was just recently released, and allows you to select Adobe CMM (which doesn't yet exist in 64-bit), that it will be coming soon. I wish Adobe would respond to this and similar requests as to the fate of Adobe CMM
2. Re: Adobe Color Management Module 64bit supportBodaciously Jan 25, 2011 7:15 PM (in response to donkom)
Same here. Could really use 64-bit version of Adobe CMM. Could someone update us as to where this stands? Thanks!
3. Re: Adobe Color Management Module 64bit supportockley Mar 31, 2011 12:29 AM (in response to Ro_Gi)
The last thing I heard was, that there have been little to no demand for a 64-bit version. Of course, you show some demand here, but I now that you will be listened to, if you contact Adobe at:
or even better. maybe the newly announced http://feedback.photoshop.com It's primarily for Photoshop, but CMM is vital for many users Photoshop-experience. Go ahead - give it a try :-)
4. Re: Adobe Color Management Module 64bit supportBodaciously Mar 31, 2011 6:55 AM (in response to ockley)
I know for a fact that I am far from alone in needed a 64-bit version of CMM. People might not be expressing their needs here (even thought they should) but they are expressing it elswhere. While the number might not be as large as users of the 32-bit version, the numbers are far from insignificant. Essentailly the all the people using Photoshop 64-bit, would want CMM in 64-bit. Every user of Canon's iPF pro photographic printers wants this because their excellent print plug-in runs off CMM. When you speak to Canon about it, they don't understand why Adobe has not done CMM in 64-bit. They get calls about it all the time. I'll follow the links and avenues you suggest and make my needs (and the needs of many others) known. Thanks for the info.
5. Re: Adobe Color Management Module 64bit supportockley Mar 31, 2011 12:54 PM (in response to Bodaciously)
@StuckInVirginia: It's good to hear you being verbose. Adobe is monitoring, but sometimes information from forums like this, vaporizes because it's read by a person with another mindset at the moment, or someone not seing the full potential/value in the topic covered.
Please, contact at the official channels (as you said yourself), and your request will be managed, and placed in the right "stack" - that is the only way to make sure you are heard.
You got some good point in your comment, and I will bring them to attention by channels I can reach. Maybe we will end up getting a result you can accept :-)
Feel free to contact me if you have other concerns or people you know are in need of a 64-bit version. Best way is probably twitter @ockley
Kind Regards

yes, i think the best thing to do is go on adobes new 'suggestions' website and voice something there. for nothing has been answered in this forum
regarding it since it was first asked over a year ago, and i have sent emails to various adobe support, who has always helped over the years, but none of them answered regarding this, which was a first (no answer) so it's unnerving that it is such a dead letter office.

8. Re: Adobe Color Management Module 64bit supportRonald Yabroff Jun 1, 2011 5:40 AM (in response to Ro_Gi)
I would also like to have a 64 bit version of CMM? In the meantime, is there a work around that is not too onerous?
9. Re: Adobe Color Management Module 64bit supportterranaut Jun 1, 2011 8:04 AM (in response to Ronald Yabroff)
if you want to give your 'vote' to having this in 64bit, go to this more in-depth thread
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/please_give_us_a_64_bit_version_of_a dobe_cmm
the workaround is to do the color profile conversion within photoshop, and not within the canon plugin....

Hey adobe, welcome to the 21st centry. Notice how it is really hard to even buy a computer than does NOT have 64 bit? We are running 4 ipf's and we do not want to change workflow as a "work around".
11. Re: Adobe Color Management Module 64bit supportVictor Wolansky Apr 29, 2014 9:00 PM (in response to ziplock1229)
So no news on this? There is no more 32 bits photoshop....
12. Re: Adobe Color Management Module 64bit supportcg277 Sep 17, 2016 3:29 AM (in response to Victor Wolansky)
This is strange. On my PC there is a 64 bits Adobe CMM version (version 1.1.1) in the "program files" directory. I've checked the DLL, confirming that it is a 64 bits exe. I've the 32 bits version as well is the "program filesx86" directory.
Here is a screen capture of the PE deconstructor window, a utility to check for DLL and PE executables headers, confirming that it is a 64 bits version (the "32-bits words" characteristic would be checked if it was a 32 bits version).

Bedouin Handicrafts go Global through Small Businesses
Since 2006, Yosra El Sayed, a 25-year-old mother of a two, had been struggling for the survival of her small Bedouin handicraft shop, which competes against the big bazaars of Beer El Abed in Northwest Sinai.
- Yosra El Sayed is one of 9,000 small business owners who received training on how information and communication technologies can make their enterprises more efficient, better connected, and more competitive.
- This programme supports Egypt's socio-economic development by raising awareness on the development potentials of information and communication technologies and making them more accessible and affordable. The programme is currently being implemented across 21 out of Egypt's 27 governorates.
Yosra has an innate talent that yields high quality products, but without the adequate management and entrepreneurial skills, her business did not live up to her full potentials.
Lacking the necessary business tools, Yosra had to dig deeper into her savings over the past two years as she lost clients and business opportunities.
Determined to acquire the means to grow her business, Yosra enrolled, in 2009, in a three-week training course at the Beer El Abed Community Development Association in Sinai, tailored especially for micro, small and medium enterprises.
The course was part of a programme designed to support micro, small and medium enterprise, employing information and communication technologies to enhance productivity and competitiveness.
The programme is the product of a collaboration that started in 2006 between UNDP and the Egypt Information and Communication Technology Trust Fund jointly lunched, with support from Canada's International Development Research Centre, the Government of Japan, the Islamic Development Bank and Microsoft Egypt.
"The training provided me with a great opportunity to expand my basic computer knowledge and skills," recalls Yosra, "but more importantly, it changed my mind-set and helped me start to think as a true entrepreneur".
After the training, the change was remarkable. Yosra started digitizing her business files, using databases for client records and spread sheets to organize her finances, and venturing into e-marketing to expand her business prospects online.
"For me, the programme was a huge leap forward," says Yosra. "Before, I was merely fighting for survival. Now, beyond my wildest dreams, I am competing in a global market, outside my local borders here in Sinai."
Six months after her training, Yosra got the opportunity to market her products online through the Ayadina portal (http://ayadina.kenanaonline.com/), which is one of Kenanaonline's Community Development Portals specialized in developing micro, small and medium enterprise through online marketing.
Kenanaonline is the product of another collaborative effort between UNDP and the Egypt Information and Communication Technology Trust Fund.
Yosra El Sayed's efforts have finally paid off. She completed her first deal to export Bedouin products to Sicily, Italy and has just received a big, five-figure cheque from that deal, her biggest sales record ever.
Yosra has started plans to expand her export activities of Bedouin products, especially to Italy where she has identifies very promising markets.

St. John's IceCaps score 4 unanswered goals to blow past Manchester Monarchs 5-3NHL.com @NHLdotcom
MANCHESTER, N.H. - The St. John's IceCaps overcame an early deficit to score four unanswered goals and beat the Manchester Monarchs 5-3 in American Hockey League play Saturday.
Down 2-0 after the first period, the IceCaps' offence exploded in the second with goals from Carl Klingberg, Aaron Gagnon and Patrice Cormier.
A power-play goal by Spencer Machacek at 8:24 in the third gave St. John's (22-27-3) a 4-2 lead.
Brandon Kozun got one back for Manchester at 14:40 but Jason Jaffray scored into an empty net to cap the scoring.
Kozun finished with two goals for the Monarchs (22-23-5), while Tanner Pearson opened the scoring 3:55 into the game.
IceCaps goaltender Chris Carrozzi made 15-of-16 saves in relief of starter Mark Dekanich, who was pulled after giving up two goals on five shots.
Martin Jones meanwhile stopped 33 shots for Manchester.

Halloween is an exciting time of year for kids. Do you remember ember the excitement of picking out a costume? Or the thrill of going through your bucket, filled to the brim with candy, as soon as you got home? And trying to eat as much of your favorite candies as you could before you went to bed?
Times are different now, and with Halloween right around the corner, it is important that both parents and children know how to stay safe while having fun.
To keep Halloween night as thrilling as it should be, keep these tips from the American Academy of Pediatrics in mind to help make the festivities fun and safe for trick-or-treaters.
• Pedestrian injuries are the most common injuries to children on Halloween. Remind Trick-or-Treaters to watch out for cars and remind drivers to watch out for trick-or-treaters and to drive safely. Don't assume you have the right of way. Motorists may have trouble seeing Trick-or-Treaters. Just because one car stops, doesn't mean others will!
• Plan costumes that are bright and reflective. Make sure that costumes and shoes fit well to prevent tripping, entanglement or contact with flame. Fasten reflective tape to costumes and bags to help drivers see you.
• A parent or responsible adult should always accompany young children on their neighborhood rounds.
• Make sure your children look both ways before crossing the street. Remain on well-lit streets and always use the sidewalk. If no sidewalk is available, walk facing the traffic at the far edge of the roadway. Use established crosswalks wherever possible. Teach young children basic pedestrian skills, such as "look left, look right, look left again for traffic" to lay a foundation of good safety skills that will keep them safe when they are old enough to walk alone.
• Examine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before eating them. Allow your children to eat only factory-wrapped treats. They should not eat homemade treats made by strangers.
Try to limit the amount of treats you and your children eat.
Follow these guidelines to help make the festivities fun and safe for everyone!
Keeping children — and all pedestrians — safe is also the responsibility of the entire community. Through the Building a Healthier Independence initiative, the Independence Health Department is working to improve pedestrian safety, especially for our children.
The City's Public Works Department has been a great partner in this project, building more than 12 miles of new sidewalks and trails and repainting more than 290 crosswalks near schools. They also keep trees and shrubs trimmed away from stop signs so that drivers are able to see them more easily.

One rarely hears the sin of usury discussed by Catholics today.
If it comes up at all, it is usually presented as an example of the Church changing its teaching by folks who would like to see the Church change its teaching on other matters. The basic argument is that the Church repeatedly condemned usury up until the year 1836, then fell silent on the matter, and finally overturned the teaching in 1917, when the Code of Canon Law allowed those responsible for the Church's financial affairs to invest in interest-bearing securities. There are, therefore, two reasons why Catholics should be interested in a discussion of usury: first, because if this is still a serious sin, then our financial conduct ought to be guided by a desire to avoid it; second, because if it is an example of a change in the Church's teaching on morals, it would seriously undermine the doctrine of infallibility.
Usury is the practice of exacting interest on loans. According to Vix Pervenit, an encyclical promulgated by Pope Benedict XIV in 1745: "The nature of the sin called usury has its proper place and origin in a loan contract. This financial contract between consenting parties demands, by its very nature, that one return to another only as much as he has received. The sin rests on the fact that sometimes the creditor desires more than he has given. Therefore he contends some gain is owed him beyond that which he loaned, but any gain which exceeds the amount he gave is illicit and usurious" (No. 3).
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states: "Contracts are subject to commutative justice which regulates exchanges between persons in accordance with a strict respect for their rights. Commutative justice obliges strictly; it requires safeguarding property rights, paying debts, and fulfilling obligations freely contracted. With commutative justice, no other form of justice is possible" (No. 2411). The traditional understanding of commutative justice centered on the idea of a "mutuum," a form of contract concerning the loan of consumables, such as wheat, wine or money. Commutative justice demanded that when consumable goods were loaned, the lender would receive back exactly the same amount of comparable goods as had been lent.
Within a capitalist economy where people are almost conceived of as having a right to profit, this seems like a strange idea. What motivation would a lender have for lending if they didn't expect to profit? Church teaching answers: "The goods of creation are destined for the whole human race.... The right to private property, acquired or received in a just way, does not do away with the original gift of the earth to the whole of mankind. The universal destination of goods remains primordial, even if the promotion of the common good requires respect for the right to private property and its exercise" (Catechism, Nos. 2402-2403). Lending is conceived of as a duty which is binding on Christians. "In his use of things man should regard the external goods he legitimately owns not merely as exclusive to himself but common to others" (No. 2404).
Although usury is rarely discussed explicitly within Catholic discourse today, the same economic principles that led to its condemnation are still promulgated by the teaching authority of the Church. On those occasions when usury is mentioned, as in the encyclicals Rerum Novarum (on capital and labor) or Caritas in Veritate ("Charity in Truth"), it is always discussed as a grievous injustice.
Vix Pervenit did not allow for profit, but did allow for the existence of "extrinsic titles." An extrinsic title is a repayment for aspects of lending and borrowing that are not directly related to the loan. A lender might have legitimate overhead costs, or he might charge a reasonable administrative fee for his labor in overseeing his loans. He could also have a legitimate claim to be repaid more than he lent if the repayment represented the prevention of a loss. So, if the value of the original goods diminished over the course of the loan, then the lender would be entitled to receive back a value equivalent to what he had loaned. In contemporary economic practice it would, for example, be reasonable to take inflation into account when working out what is owed. A lender making loans to a number of potentially insolvent borrowers was permitted to charge for the risk of the loss of his capital, and a lender who lent out money that he would otherwise have used to turn a profit could legitimately charge the borrower for the loss of profit. A contract that was just according to these principles would have been considered morally valid even if the nature of the extrinsic titles was not made explicit.
Over time, economic systems have become increasingly baroque, and theologians are less able to judge adequately whether or not the rate of interest charged conforms to legitimate moral specifications. When Vix Pervenit was published the Church was able to see that the emerging world financial system was one in which the practice of loaning at interest would become almost ubiquitous, and in which, as a result, it would be increasingly difficult to differentiate just from unjust economic practice. The Church's attempt to oppose the creation of such a system ultimately failed. Today, it is practically impossible to interact with money without in some sense participating in a usurious system, and as a result the Church has become less stringent in the application of its doctrine in individual cases.
This is similar to the tack that St. Paul took with the Corinthians regarding the eating of meat sacrificed to idols. The decree of Jerusalem established that pagan converts to Christianity must abstain from such meat, and the consciences of some of the Corinthians were disturbed because in Corinth any roast that you picked up in the marketplace might have been consecrated to Diana. Paul told the Corinthians not to scruple; "Eat anything sold in the market, without raising questions on grounds of conscience" (1 Cor 10:25). He recognized the practical difficulties and wanted to avoid placing onerous burdens on the consciences of his Corinthian converts.
The Church today behaves in the same way regarding usury. She recognizes that the vast majority of Catholics seeking to invest on a small scale don't have the economic knowledge or theological training necessary to work out whether their financial dealings are, or are not, strictly usurious. For this reason the Church has chosen to concentrate on promulgating sound economic principles for individual Christian life, and has focused criticism on systematic evils and injustices such as usurious international loans.
Contemporary economic evils tend to be systematic, so it is important for Catholics to engage with the economy in a way that encourages responsibility and justice. In Caritas in Veritate, Pope Benedict XVI points to micro-finance, credit unions and consumer associations as possible means by which laypeople can help promote just financial practices. "It is good for people to realize that purchasing is always a moral — and not simply economic — act. Hence the consumer has a specific social responsibility" (No. 66). Catholics can oppose usurious systems by choosing credit unions over major banks (particularly for large loans), by investing in ethical funds, by demanding just practices on the part of any financial organization that they support, and by placing their own wealth at the service of the common good.

Information by Country
Madagascar: Press releases
Orange, France Telecom and UNICEF unite for girls education in Madagascar
UNICEF is pleased to have engaged the private sector in promoting education in this country, said UNICEFs Officer in Charge, Francisco Basili. We are confident that our partnership with Orange/France Telecom will contribute to keeping more girls in school as well as to encourage other corporations to engage in the cause for childrens rights.
While Madagascar is one of the few countries in Africa where hardly any disparities exist in primary enrollment rates between girls and boys, fewer girls complete the five year cycle. They also face greater challenges in continuing their studies.
Funding from Orange/France Telecom will be targeted to those areas of the country where girls often drop out, either because schools are far, or because they are sent off to work as domestic servants or because they are married off early or become pregnant.
In these areas, in partnership with Madagascars government, UNICEF has launched a Girl-to-Girl strategy that links younger and older girls from the same village. Older girls take the younger ones to and from school as well as help them with their homework and school life. Parents and community members are actively encouraged to support these mentoring activities, which have shown to have learning and confidence building benefits for all the girls involved.
Orange and France Telecom will also support activities to promote sports and better literacy skills in the schools targeted by the Girl-to Girl strategy.
We know that keeping girls in school has tremendous benefits for the girls themselves, their families and communities. This is why we were so inspired by this project when we first heard about it, added Oranges Director-General in Madagascar, Patrice Pezat. We have a corporate responsibility to the people we serve and particularly the next generation.
About UNICEF
For 60 years UNICEF has been the worlds leader for children, working on the ground in 156 countries and territories to help children survive and thrive, from early childhood through adolescence. The worlds largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS.

Sea Otter
California Tax Check-off
In 2006, Defenders of Wildlife worked with California lawmakers to pass legislation that would establish the California Sea Otter Fund for sea otter research through a voluntary tax donation check-off box on state tax forms. Appearing on the forms for the first time in 2007, the tax fund needs to reach a target amount set by the California Franchise Tax Board each year to return the following year forms.
Philippe Cousteau urges California tax filers to
support Sea Otter Fund.
The Problem
Sea otters have struggled to make a comeback in California. The 2012 population index – a three-year average of the annual surveys – was 2,792. That is a slight increase from 2011, but that figure indicates that sea otter recovery is still at a plateau.
How We're Helping
Donations to the California Sea Otter Fund go to research by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and the California Coastal Conservancy into sea otter mortality, and programs to improve near-shore ocean habitats and protect sea otters.
The sea otter tax check-off program, through voluntary donations, has managed to reach the target amount set by the tax board each year and return the following year. In 2015, Californians donated $324,059 to the program. The Sea Otter Tax Check-off continues to make a difference for sea otters thanks to the generosity of CA taxpayers. And now that we've well exceeded our minimum for 2016 (by nearly $15k and counting!), the check off is guaranteed a spot on next year's tax form. Hooray!
In 2015, Defenders of Wildlife worked with California State Assemblyman Bill Monning (D-Carmel) to introduce legislation that would re-establish the tax check-off for an additional 5 years. Defenders' supporters sent in tens of thousands of letters to the assembly, senate and governor urging them to pass this legislation, which is so vital to sea otter recovery. Governor Jerry Brown signed the bill into law in September 2015, extending the tax check-off to 2021.

Circuit breaker enhancements promote safety, protect equipment
Eaton Corporation expanded its circuit breaker capabilities to offer enhanced ground fault protection and non-fused current limiting breaker modules for the Eaton Series G circuit breakers. Equipped with a built-in sensor and ground fault relay, Eaton's Earth Leakage Modules are designed to protect against equipment damage and increase personnel safety by limiting current. Additionally, the current limiting breaker modules are designed to meet the increasing capacity of electrical source, which provides increased fault currents. They provide advanced system protection during overloads and both low and high-level short circuits.
"Eaton continues to develop industry-leading products and services designed to improve safety and equipment reliability," said Chad Murff, product manager, Eaton. "Fundamentally, the expanded circuit breaker capabilities are designed to increase personnel safety and protect equipment against damage by limiting electrical currents."
Eaton's current limiter module provides automatic reset after interruption, unlike fused current limiters with a one-time use. The molded case circuit breaker can be reset to restore power to the system, without having to find replacement fuses. Eaton manufactures non-fused current limiting modules in combination with Series G E-Frame breakers with interrupting capacities up to 150 kiloamperes (kA) at 480 Volts alternating current (V ac).
The Series G current limiter module uses the stationary and moving contact arm design, creating a second set of contacts to assist during high fault interruption. During interruption, the second contacts open at the same time the main breaker contacts open, and the breaker trips to clear the fault. The current limiter module automatically resets after interruption.
Eaton's Earth Leakage Module is designed to limit the current returning along an unintended path toward the source. The unintended current path can cause damage to sensitive machine control or risk personnel injury, if the current exceeds 30 milliamperes (mA). Offering superior Class 1 ground fault protection and improved ground fault coordination capabilities, Eaton's Earth Leakage modules allow for protection sensitivities down to the 30 mA level and can be field installed.

The Cobras then played
The Cobras then played the Pfeiffer Falcons for the 7th spot in the tournament. The Cobras would go down 2-1 in doubles again, with their win coming James Schroeder and Esteban Teran at the No.1 spot. The Cobras then picked up four singles wins from senior Duncan Grew, senior Dustin Yager, sophomore Esteban Teran, and freshmen James Schroeder. Grew cruised winning in two straight sets and it took Teran, Schroeder, and Yager to win in three sets to clinch the victory.
The Cobras will now enter the off-season and prepare to replace three seniors and make a run at the conference championship next season.

West Coast Trip Ends with 14-7 Loss at Redlandsby Brent Harris • March 12, 2011 Share:
Wabash ended its spring break trip to California on Saturday afternoon with a 14-7 loss at the University of Redlands.
The Little Giants 4-0 before scoring their first run of the game in the fourth inning. Montana Timmons laced a single to third and scored two batters later on an RBI double by David Seibel. The Bulldogs answered with two runs in the bottom of the fourth, then exploded with a five-run fifth inning to take a 11-1 lead. A three-run sixth put Redlands (11-4) up 14-1.
Wabash mounted a late rally in the seventh inning, sending 11 batters to the plate to score six runs. Seibel had two hits in the inning, including a two-run single in his second at bat of the frame. John Pennington added a two-run single, while John Holm and Chris Deig also produced run-scoring singles.
Seibel went 3-for-5 to lead Wabash in hitting. Deig and Timmons each added two hits out of Wabash's total of 11.
Chris Widup took the loss, giving up 14 hits and 10 earned runs in 4-2/3 innings. He walked one and struck out three Bulldog batters. Nate Adams pitched 2/3 of an inning with three runs scoring on four hits and one walk. JT Miller worked a scoreless 2/3 of an inning, allowing only one hit and one walk. Andrew Swart gave up one hit in two innings of relief pitching with a walk and two strikeouts.
Wabash returns to Indiana with a record of 2-10 overall after going 0-8 during its California trip. The Little Giants return to action Wednesday afternoon with a 3:30 contest at DePauw University.
Redlands 14, Wabash 7 (box score)

The last short is definitely the best of the three--outstanding in every way as far as I'm concerned. Even if you got turned off by the previous arcs, you should definitely watch the last one!
Maybe wao and someone who've watched the raws can help me out here regarding something that bugs me...

I definitely loved the second arc because of its story, but WOW does the third arc deliver. The art is unique, the animation is unique, and the protagonist (for now) is just seething with bad@ss. The OP animation of this arc is just so damn cool. I'm like WOW.

Argh, I only just managed to watch episode 11 (raw) because my computer was lagging so badly and ***ny hates me -_- But... but...
This show is definitely in my list of Best Anime Of All Time. For sure.
Very much for sure.
Wow... if you thought the first 2 were great, then the 3rd practically throws you off your feet and smacks you in the face. Seriously - there are so many interesting things you discover in it, and the directing was just flatout excellent! They used the white-text-on-black-background thing VERY effectively and conveyed the drama very well, and the actual story behind the Bakeneko was revealed in such an excellent way... You really couldn't guess it until the 3rd episode (well, that's what I felt anyway). Oh, and if you think the medicine seller dude is really cool (like I do, of course), you ain't seen nothing yet!
And needless to say, the animation was absolutely excellent. 33 Key animators, and many of them are highly skilled, and it shows. The fight at the end was one of the best fights I have ever seen - and excellent colours, by the way - and there's this animation of a kitten that sends me , a cat addict, screaming into closets and banging on tables because IT'S SO CONVINCINGLY CUTE. It shows EXACTLY what I love about little kitties.
And when you compare it to what the Bakeneko really is, and the truth of the situation... It's just so beautiful I don't know what to say. From a seemingly fine beginning of ep 1 it just spirals down into madness... It's horrific! (Well, considering it's Japanese Classic Horror...)
Excellent, excellent job. Toei did something right for once, getting this brilliant team together! I cannot stop recommending this to anyone... it's a pity not many are really aware of the nature of the series (i.e. 3 separate arcs) so if they watched the first few eps and were bored, they're missing out on so much... OK, I shall advertise this more... Time for a change of avatar then!
I look forward to whatever works the director and designer have next - if they can work together again I am most definitely watching it!
runpsicat: Regarding your question I'm not entirely sure (my pathetic knowledge of Japanese largely fails when it comes to the dialogue in this show) but from what I understood,
Thank goodness the raw finally downloaded, at least!

Yay, the third story is finally out and people can prostrate themselves before its awesomeness! *_*
wao: thanks for answering!
I wish they'd make a separate series featuring the same crew/cast...

First of all, I'd like to say thanks to the [gg] group for subbing this extremely underrated series of 2006. (I really do hope you could sub the DVD versions as well.) Thank you for your time and patience with this series.
Second of all, I'd like to praise superfluously and excessively the final arc of Ayakashi. Everything is just pulled off together excellently. And in every succeeding episode, up to the culminating one, the creators just manage to up the ante every single time. My adoration for these series of episodes is just so sky high that I felt I had to change my avatar and profile title to suit this show. I was just totally blown away.
The first arc was so-so in my standards; the second arc was great; but this third arc, is beyond excellence. This third arc is beyond grasp, beyond words. No, wait, it can be encapsulated in two words: FUCKING AMAZING.
Despite having really little sleep yesterday this arc made me widen my eyes in expectation of what will happen. In all honesty, this was the only arc that gave me the creeps. The hero here is also unforgettable. He's smart, quiet ... AND HE PWNZOMGWTFBBQZORZ!!!!!oneoneeleven ...
Of course, the OP and ED just became more fitting with this final arc, having more kick for me that I've downloaded both because of the fact that the final arc played the animation to the tune so well that all I could do was be wide-mouthed.
I don't find anything wrong with the final arc. This is one show I love ... the content, the depth, not to mention the consistent animation and coolness (damn you, Ergo Proxy!!). I also personally couldn't guess WTF was going on in the arc ... until it was elaborated upon in the third episode with the ominous black-and-white (black background, white text).
Spoiler for a question:

I am THAT excited. The 3rd arc is simply BRILLIANT! I couldn't even blink in that final fight. It was so unique and beautiful and it totally blew my mind away! How could one seemingly boring series turn into something so outstanding? I was so into the story it pained me to watch the past. It's so depressing... And yeah, this one totally creeped me out. Never had I been creeped out so much by an anime. The last was Paranoia Agent, but the intensity level here is much higher. It drives me nuts wanting to know the truth behind it all. Man, the last arc totally altered my initial rating for Ayakashi. I now have to give it a 9. Too bad but I can't cheat and put 10 coz I didn't enjoy the first 2 arcs.
I'm really, really glad that I picked up this title.
And... I <3 Medicine Seller so very much!

Anyways, I sort of expected separate story arcs but not that they'd have differend production budgets and look / feel altogether.
Also, in general most anime series tend to start strong and then lose steam, with some rare instances (usually involving psychosis) that things get so fucked up it becomes actually good.

As for the Brera thing, do be honest I don't see that they even have much time for that. He'll react and get over it quickly. From the looks of things Frontier will not be anywhere near Ranka until the end of ep 24 or ep. 25.
I've always been the pessimist and thought it would be a RankaxAlto end, but this ep does give me some hope. However, I'm still wary. To me ep 21 just shouts RankaxAlto end. I'm afraid they might make SherylxAlto and then kill her off and throw RankaxAlto together.
I hope something works out and she gets cured. Because I want at least ONE of the two couples I've been shipping lately to win. Cause I don't think Kalulu is going to work out in the end. So SherylXAlto must win!

I just saw the raw, If thats pity I'll eat my hat. I cried , that was the most powerful scene ever, so much emotion shown by alto & sheryl, even if I didnt understand a single word they said, it moved me to tears. I refuse to believe alto's not in love with Sheryl after that, I cant see him going back to ranka, I just cant, not after that. I loved alto's show of emotion, his voice, eyes, the hug, everything. This episode rocked.
If alto/ranka happens after this, I swear, I'm going to haunt Kawamori for life.......it just would be sooooo inconsistant & soooo disappointing.

If Alto abandons Sheryl for Ranka....man, I don't know what to say. Not after the things he said in that scene. The only way I could see it happening is if Sheryl is dead. Which of course, could happen unfortunately. But if he does go Ranka chasing and abandons his pledge to stay with Sheryl while she is alive then he is lower than dirt.

Seconded! He'd be the biggest asshole ever! But it'd be totally out of character for him to do something like that, sure he can be a jerk sometimes but I dont see him sinking to a level as low as that. I dont think kawamori would bastardize his character like that without any purpose. ( ranka getting her alto in the end would be a very sucky reason , IMO, Plot obviously doesnt require it, so why would he?)

The Sheryl/Alto scene was beautiful, but I agree with what others have said in that it's not all entirely clear whether it's Sheryl and Alto are a done deal. Has Alto really connected with Sheryl on the emotional level as a significant other or is he moved by empathy to her tragic predicament? Perhaps it's a mixture of both, but it's still ambiguous.
I'm curious though, as to what path Alto will ultimately take, after Ozma posed that question during their duel. Has he already decided to stay back on Frontier in order to protect Sheryl? Many decisions are practically made by circumstances--Alto missed his chance when he had to stay by Sheryl's side. By the end of the episode though, he is extremely frustrated with everything that has happened. How the story then turns out, I think, will largely depend on Alto's choices in the final episodes as the last scenes seem to hint.
Just like those Galaxy entities, I was elated when the Vajra planet was revealed. Never has the prospects of seeing massive Itano circuses and dogfights in a real sky been so good (frankly, no Macross series would be complete without a real atmospheric battle).

Darkwing... I understand you
I find it funny that people are making assumption like they kissed in that scene although they didn't show it.
In episode 20 they showed sheryl over alto but no one here dared to say(even if at the end it was confirmed she fainted), that they were lovey dovey because it would have put sheryl on the bad role.
Now yesterday, they just showed Alto wipe away her tears but this was good for alto and sheryl so it happenned, they kissed ...
You see what you want to see....
I read here people talking about alto who didn't confesses to Ranka unlike her, so this is over...
He didn't confessed to sheryl too and worst, unlike Ranka ,she is dying....
If he really loved her like people are saying here, he would have confessed already no? since this is the perfect time to do so.
People were taking me like crazy when I talked about the romance between alto and Ranka but THIS episode was full of it for those two and was it resolved,? no .
The " If you really want to sing then I will be with you" is kind of disturbing no,?
I call it staying with a dying person out of pity at this point.
People here don't want to make the link with episode 20 -21 ?
Michel died, Ranka leaved and now sheryl is dying .
For the first time since episode 1 he saw her crying, people assume because he takes her in his arms that yeah, he loves her... but she is her only friend(Luca and him are not that close). Mickail and Ranka are not here anymore, of course he doesn't want to lose her...
Looks like you should go out of your bubble. you're all win, win celebration party... People tell i don't get it, but was I wrong in what I said since the beginning? no.
People think it's already over... you are too predictable.
And for the person who said the image i posted didn't have anything to do with the romance. Alto didn't make his choice unlike Ozma and Ranka but why would Ozma tell him " for what are you wings for" if not for Ranka ? In what taking his VF has something to do with sheryl ?
She is in Frontier and doesn't plan to move since she is ill. So this is between staying with sheryl or going to Ranka no ? But if he stays with sheryl he can says byb bye to the sky and his VF.... (Ranka is gone,the vajra too so NUNS has no use now ..)
Someone also posted something about anata no oto for the final in linking it to Sheryl but people may have forgot this is Ranka's song and the played part for sheryl and Alto was already played.....
Don't bury ranka yet. She will surprise you.

All I know right now is that I like the Alto x Sheryl interactions and to never trust Macross... especially after what happened in SDF with Minmei and Misa.

Oh I'm still pessimistic and think they'll shove RankaxAlto at us in the final episode. Though part of me strongly hopes not. It is looking more and more like there will be a bitter sweet ending. Sheryl dying or something like that.
Of course, I do think Ranka will have a big move. She certainly will be the key to bringing peace among both humanity and the vajra. Will she win Alto? Maybe. Who knows. But you also seem to not be considering that neither Sheryl nor Ranka will win in the end. We could get the unresolved end. Sheryl dying, Ranka staying with the Vajra.

That said, dunno if it's only me but I did have the impression that the main reason why Alto didn't go with SMS was to be with Sheryl. Besides he had just finished telling Sheryl that he would be with her till the end and running away with Ozma right after would've been a bit ridiculous ^^;
The last part of the episode felt weird though cause Ozma & co are clearly depicted as the "good guys" (quite obviously since we know what Leon has been scheming), but then what's the role of Alto, Sheryl and Luca right now? Allies of the bad guy without knowing that he's a bad guy maybe? I wish they showed what was that Ozma sent to everyone in SMS D:

I remember about you and your post. No offense, but how old are you ?
This has nothing to do. It's better for her to live even if alto loves Ranka no ?
Now that they made Alto finding out about sheryl's illness before choosing the girl... this is pretty obvious Alto and sheryl will not happen.
They perfectly know Ranka's fan will say the Alto and sheryl pair is a false since he took her because of her disease, not because of her...
Why did they do that ? To prepare sheryl 's fan for the shock which will follow.
Yes, and reading the post here, i think this is working...
they are showing you some hints not, prooves about a sheryl who is winning over alto but where this is wrong, is with alto finding out the thuth about her.
And this lead us towards what I said a while ago about sheryl's disease who is the one who make alto being in a closest relationship with her.
Some people overanalized the characters saying this is not true... well this episode proves me right.
And Kawamori said alto will make his choice.... so episode 24 with Ranka's come back ?

Being an outside observer and not rooting for either of the two girls I think Sheryl has the upper hand, even though he knowing she is dying make it look like pity.

You do realize that Alto could make his choice and still not end up with that person? Like I said, Sheryl dying or Ranka going with the Vajra. Kawamori won't necessarily give us a happy ending.
Oh he doesn't have to only go to Ranka if Sheryl dies. The writers are free to do whatever with him. I'm just saying that if he goes chasing after Ranka after he has already pledged to stay by Sheryl's side that is a pretty shitty thing to do imho. That's all. Doesn't mean he won't do it of course. Though maybe Sheryl will actually encourage him to go after her. That's a thought. If that was the case it would be slightly less reprehensible on his part.

Hi Has anyone who has had an EasyOne account from KEB ever used it AFTER they turned in their ARC and left the country? I think each remittance made through the EasyOne account is tallied under your annual remittance allowance using your ARC number. If your ARC has been turned in, does the EasyOne account stop functioning correctly? Since the exchange rate has been growing more favorable, I'm thinking of leaving funds with a relative, who would then deposit them into my EasyOne account number when the won's rise seems to be stalling and I give the go-ahead.

Across from the entrance, which is flanked by servants quarters, are guest quarters, behind which are more servants quarters and the main residence. In the southwest part of the main quarters is a guest house where Kim Myeonggwan and the workmen supposedly lived during the construction of the house. This house comprises anchae or the main house, sarangchae or the men's quarters, the servants' quarters on both sides of the gate and a detached house.
Korea is one of the oldest continuous civilizations in the world with over five thousand years of history. According to the original creation myth, the world we live in today is the work of the Heavenly Prince Hwanung, whose father was the King of Heaven.The Heavenly Prince asked his father to give him some land to govern, so the Father sent him down to Mount Taebaek. With him the Prince brought the Minister of Clouds, the Earl of Rain and the Chancellor of Wind. They also brought three thousand helpers.Under the shade of a sandalwood tree the Prince founded a holy city called Sinsi, the City of God. He put his Ministers in charge of three hundred and sixty areas of human culture, teaching them to grow crops and to make laws concerning what is good and what is evil.A tiger and a bear living in a nearby cave saw this city and desperately wanted to become human. Every day they came to the sandalwood tree at the center of the city to pray fervently for becoming humans.Hwanung saw their devotion and gave them instructions to remain in the cave and fast for one month, eating nothing but garlic and mugwort. The tiger was too impatient to stand the long and boring days in the cave, so he gave up and left, but Bear maintained the fast. At the end of the month she was transformed into a beautiful woman who became the mother of the Korean people.Her first son was Don-gun, the First King of the Korean people. When Don-Gun passed on the throne to his own son, he became a Mountain God. It is interesting that mountain gods are still worshipped today in Korea.Text by Steve Smith.

Roche drug hope for breast cancer patients
Stockholm, September 25, 2011
Women with an aggressive type of advanced breast cancer can live significantly longer without their disease getting worse if they are treated with an experimental 'armed antibody' drug from Roche, researchers said.
Data from a mid-stage clinical trial of the new combination drug, trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), in HER2-positive breast cancer found patients given T-DM1 had a 41 percent improvement in the time without their breast cancer worsening compared with those given trastuzumab, or Herceptin, plus chemotherapy.
Side effects were also significantly reduced in the T-DM1 group, a factor that was 'particularly important and very clinically meaningful', said the study's lead investigator Sara Hurvitz, since far fewer T-DM1 patients opted to stop treatment during the phase II trial.
The results are a boost for the medicine, which the Swiss drugmaker Roche has been developing with ImmunoGen as a successor to its blockbuster Herceptin. Herceptin had sales of more than $5 billion in 2010.
'These provocative Phase II data illustrate that first-line treatment with T-DM1 provides a longer time for patients to live without cancer progression and with fewer side effects than standard chemotherapy plus trastuzumab,' said Hurvitz, director of the breast oncology programme at University of California, Los Angeles, who presented her findings at the European Multidisciplinary Cancer Congress (EMCC) in Stockholm.
In the trial, which involved 137 patients who had not previously had chemotherapy or HER2-targeted therapy, those on T-DM1 had an average 14.2 months without the disease worsening versus 9.2 months for those given Herceptin plus chemotherapy.
The proportion of women who stopped treatment due to side-effects was 7.2 percent in the T-DM1 arm compared with 28.8 percent in the standard therapy arm of the study.
T-DM1 is a new kind of so-called 'armed antibody' drug that can carry a cell-killing payload into cancer cells.
It combines trastuzumab, an antibody and the active ingredient in Herceptin, with the agent DM1 -- a derivative of an extremely powerful type of chemotherapy called maytansine.
'Maytansine was a chemotherapy that was being developed in the 1980s, but it was so toxic that they shelved it,' Hurvitz told reporters during an EMCC briefing. 'So what they've done now is to figure out how to link it to the trastuzumab' -- so that it is not activated until it reaches the cancer cell.
'The magic is in the link,' she said. 'The whole thing is internalised within the cell. It's actually quite unique.'
The fact the drug delivers its toxic payload directly into cells is also thought to be key to why it causes fewer side effects like hair loss and low white blood cell counts.
Trial data showed that only 4 percent of patients in the T-DM1 treatment group suffered hair loss, compared with 67 percent of those in the standard treatment group.
As well as having fewer unpleasant side effects, Roche believes its new drug also offers greater convenience, since it is one drug and eliminates the need to administer chemotherapy.
Commercially, it should help protect Roche's breast cancer franchise, since Herceptin could be exposed to so-called 'biosimilar' generic competition in Europe from around 2015.
Consensus forecasts from Thomson Reuters Pharma show analysts see T-DM1 generating sales of $694 million by 2016.
It also keeps Roche in the breast cancer innovation race in the face of newer medicines that aim to rival Herceptin, like British drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline's Tykerb.
Oncology experts described Hurvitz's study as important and said the results were promising but would need to built upon by further late-stage studies.
Roche is conducting several Phase III trials of T-DM1 and Hurvitz said the results from one of these -- looking at T-DM1 versus GSK's Tykerb plus Xeloda, another type of chemotherapy also made by Roche -- are expected in the first half of 2012.
Hurvitz said that if those data are positive, Roche will then apply to US drug regulators for a licence for T-DM1. - Reuters

Just adding yet another positive review for this little gem of a polish! You can't go wrong with the price either, I got this for about $2 at Target. You get great coverage in just one coat and the color is so opaque that it's a dream to use for nail art as well as other fun nail looks. Right now I'm wearing this color on the tips of my nails (like a silvery French Tip Mani!) over a clear basecoat and China Glaze Techno on top of the tips to add a bit of a holographic gradient glitter look. I can definitely see myself purchasing this again when I run out, great price, great coverage, great wear and application is a dream. LOVE!

I was looking for grey shades or something that was neither dark or too pastel. This looks great. It is very light catching. It gets compliments and makes a statement, but is not over the top. It would look good on anyone and silver matches almost everything. In low light, it looks like your nails shine in the dark. Definite repurchase.
Formula: Mixed. With two coats and a top from the Invisible, I don't see major chipping for up to 5 days. The range is wide, great pigmentation, and it's cheap. On the other hand, not crazy about the brush and it takes forever to dry. Even when it does dry, it seems to smudge very easily in the following hours. I've tried to combat this by painting with thinner coats and more drying time, but it's still not perfect. Still I do not wear polish often so these cons aren't too bad. This is still one the best nail polish lines I've used in terms of value for money.

This product is amazing! It coats wicked well, I have been wearing just one coat for 3 weeks, and finally got around to painting the second coat. I had not liked it before, but when I was running out the door for a semi-formal wearing flip-flops, I realized how terrible my toes looked a speed-painted them with this, and I was incredibly impressed on how well it turned out! The color matches everything perfectly. I've been wearing flip-flops everyday since then, and I have received many compliments, even from guys saying how shiny they are! They haven't chipped at all, and I don't plan on removing the color anytime soon. I think I will be wearing this color from now on!

I love this! it looks a little weird/harsh on my nails, but I added decorations on it, and painting another color that is a little sparkly(I used the Sally Hansen extreme in red carpet ) and it looked fabulous! it lasts very well, set fast and easily and doesn't really chip that bad, mines kinda just fading, I used it like Sunday or Monday and its still somewhat on (I'm very hard on nail polish)

I was looking for a new silver/grey nail color after I threw my other one out and I got this on a whim at my local Dollar General a couple of weeks ago. It's the perfect shimmery, silver color for me! I love it! It's really shimmery, but they are small shimmers, and if you put a shimmery top coat over it, the color is GORGEOUS. You really only need to apply one coat of this but I apply two just to be sure it is really silver and it dries super fast. It is really a must have. I would repurchase.

With two coats and a top coat I can wear this up to a week without chipping. Looks awesome on its own, or paired with a chunky glitter top coat, and I've even used it as a french manicure tip colour paired with black polish. For $1.99 this is a steal of deal for a high quality polish.

The silver nail polish looks cool on its own, applies very evenly too, but I have an even better use of it: to add silver glitter to other nail colors such as red/pink/blue/purple. To add a silver glitter, just scrape the brush along on the rim of the bottle until the brush is almost dry, then lightly stroke across your nails so that it leaves a beautiful silver glitter across the nails. You can control the amount of glitter you want, and it always looks really good and fancy!!! Bravo for a really great product!!
