AASPA ScholarshipsTweet
The AASPA is proud to offer scholarships to deserving PA students who are interested in a career in surgery. It is one of just many benefits that we offer to our student members.
Jordan is a student at the University of Alabama-Birmingham Surgical PA Program and will graduate in December 2013. She has wanted to be a surgical PA since she was very young (wearing homemade x-ray glasses & a stethoscope!) and pursued this dream throughout her high school career taking extra science courses and graduating with 53 college credits. She received her undergraduate degree from Berry University where she qualified for a Presidential Scholarship.
Jordan has volunteered for over 800 patient care hours and, in 2010, went on a medical mission trip to Brazil with the International Children's Heart Association, assisting in pre– and post-op care of pediatric cardiac patients. Seeing the critical need and lifechanging impact of this mission trip crystallized her pursuit of a surgical PA career. The Scholarship Committee and the Board of Directors of AASPA wish Jordan continued success on her surgical PA journey and are proud to be able to contribute to easing some of the financial burden.

Alabama has one of the highest percentages of couch potatoes in the nation, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In a new report, the CDC found that Alabama residents -- along with residents of Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Tennessee -- are the least likely to be physically active during leisure time. In each of those states, physical inactivity rates are 29.2 percent or greater for more than 70 percent of the counties.

Basic first aid and health care that may include diabetes maintenance and other specialized healthcare procedures are available at our schools. It is the parent or guardian's duty to arrange care for sick children promptly. A student who needs to see the School Nurse must have a pass from his/her teacher, sign the register, and will be seen by an administrator, secretary, or clinic aide when the School Nurse is not available. An up-to-date health record, which includes immunizations, screening results, and other pertinent medical data, is maintained on each student. Each parent should keep the school and the registered nurse informed yearly about any special medical information that would be important should the student have a medical emergency that needs attention. To keep information updated, a Student Health Information Form should be completed by the parent/guardian each year. All current Health Service forms may be found on the Health Service page.

Similar numbers of American men and women overall have high blood pressure, but in younger age groups, men are much more likely to have hypertension issues. The chart shows two key age groups and the percent of people with high blood pressure.
Dr. William J. Scarpa Jr. is a clinical cardiologist working for Wake Forest Baptist Health's North Wilkesboro office. He has more than 20 years of experience, with his areas of interest including all aspects of non-interventional, consultative cardiology, nuclear cardiology, stress testing and diagnostic modalities.
Here he discusses hypertension, heart and and health issues, particularly as they relate to men.
Learn more about the Heart Center and Vascular Center at Wake Forest Baptist Health.
Q. In today's world, with all that's out there about healthy lifestyles and advances in technology, how frequently do you come across men who haven't had their blood pressure checked or are unaware they are at risk for hypertension?
A. Men tend to go to the doctor less frequently and at a later time than women. Women have already established with primary care physicians at a much younger age because of child bearing.
Men have a tendency to show up later, and they usually show up when there's a problem. Or better yet when their wife suspects there's a problem. They literally get dragged into the office screaming, digging their heels in.
Q. Why are men so reluctant to get a check-up?
A. One of the things they really don't pay attention to is hypertension and their cardiac risk factors. There is a denial and a fright factor. Men are usually the breadwinners of the family. They're working, bringing in money. They're scared to find a problem. Scared to open a Pandora's box, so to speak. The engine's running, don't open the hood attitude.
Q. How have lifestyle changes affected health?
A. There are definite changes in our lifestyle and in our environment that have impacted upon hypertension, especially in men. The first thing, stress issues now are greater than they were 20 years ago.
It's arguable, but with the Internet and the philosophy of everything needs to be done immediately, instead of mailing a check – you have to put on a stamp, walk to the mailbox, walk to the post office – now we just do everything electronically sitting at a desk.
You take care of these things faster so you think you would have more time to exercise and go to the gym and so on, but I think by nature human beings have a tendency to fall into a lazier lifestyle. Also, the fast-food issues – everything is prepared quickly, there's a lot more processed foods, a lot more sodium in foods. All of these factors are impacting hypertension rates.
Q. What are the key cardiac risk factors?
A. Obesity, diabetes, smoking and hypertension. All those four things are easily treatable. We can manage and take care of all your cardiac risk factors with the exception of family history. We can't change that.
Q. Does everyone have to be on medication to control high blood pressure?
A. A lot of times not. If someone doesn't have other risk factors (family history, diabetes), you have a tendency to use non-medication means. What that comes down to is diet and exercise.
Q. What are the most important steps men can take to control high blood pressure?
A. I bring it back to the patient and say 'You're a young guy, you're in your 40s. We can make a direct impact to your health if we start treating your blood pressure and get you on an exercise program and loose weight. The sooner you do things, the better off you'll be in the long run.'
Q. What about the stories of people who've been taking medicine for high blood pressure and still get strokes or heart attacks?
A. A lot of patients come in with a history of hypertension and they're on treatment, but they're not adequately controlled. Patients have to take more of a primary role in treating blood pressure. I recommend for almost every patient that I have that has hypertension to invest in a home blood pressure monitoring device.
Q. At what age should men think about monitoring their blood pressure?
A. There's no guideline in terms of recommending when you should start to monitor it. But I would say it's never too soon to at least be aware of your blood pressure readings, especially if there's a strong family history of hypertension.
Q. What are the worst things men do to their bodies that put stress on their heart?
A. The worst thing is smoking. Forget about food, lifestyle, job stress; the worst thing anybody could do to their body is smoke. It will affect every organ in the body. It destroys your intravascular lining, and that's why it is a problem with heart attack and stroke. It will affect the lungs causing COPD, as well as increase the risk of different types of cancer.
What I've found since moving to North Carolina is the incidence of heart disease and hypertension is much more prevalent. In the South, not only is the incidence much more prevalent in numbers, but at a younger age … the common thread, and this is across the board, every one of these young people came in with a heart attack or stroke, the common thread was smoking. Period. End of story. That was it. Every one of them.
Q. What other issues should men be worried about when it comes to heart health and hypertension?
A. If you're a young middle-aged male, and you think that you might have a problem, or you have had a thought that, 'Well, you know my parents had heart disease. Should I get checked?' or 'I was out this weekend biking and hiking and I had a little chest pain and it might be a problem.' If there's any sort of thought that there might be an issue, get it checked. Don't wait. Don't ignore it.

A stage IV prostate cancer is said to exist if the final evaluation shows that the cancer has spread to distant locations in the body, which usually includes bones. Stage IV disease may be further classified as the following depending on the extent of the cancer (tumor):
The tumor has spread to pelvic lymph nodes or is obstructing the ureters (the tubes from the kidneys to the bladder), or both.
Cancer spread (metastasis) to lymph nodes outside the pelvic area, bone involvement, or spread to other distant parts of the body.
Prostate cancer diagnosed in this stage is often difficult to cure, although patients may live for several years with effective treatment.
A variety of factors ultimately influence a patient's decision to receive treatment of cancer. The purpose of receiving cancer treatment may be to improve symptoms through local control of the cancer, increase a patient's chance of cure, or prolong a patient's survival. The potential benefits of receiving cancer treatment must be carefully balanced with the potential risks of receiving cancer treatment.
The following is a general overview of the treatment of stage IV prostate cancer. Circumstances unique to your situation and prognostic factors of your cancer may ultimately influence how these general treatment principles are applied. The information on this Web site is intended to help educate you about your treatment options and to facilitate a mutual or shared decision-making process with your treating cancer physician.
Most new treatments are developed in clinical trials. Clinical trials are studies that evaluate the effectiveness of new drugs or treatment strategies. The development of more effective cancer treatments requires that new and innovative therapies be evaluated with cancer patients. Participation in a clinical trial may offer access to better treatments and advance the existing knowledge about treatment of this cancer. Clinical trials are available for most stages of cancer. Patients who are interested in participating in a clinical trial should discuss the risks and benefits of clinical trials with their physician. To ensure that you are receiving the optimal treatment of your cancer, it is important to stay informed and follow the cancer news in order to learn about new treatments and the results of clinical trials.
Patients diagnosed with stage IV prostate cancer can be broadly divided into two groups. Patients with cancer locally confined to the pelvis, but involving adjacent organs or lymph nodes have localized stage IV or D1 prostate cancer. Patients with disease that has spread to distant organs, most commonly the spine, ribs, pelvis and other bones have metastatic stage IV or D2 prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer may not be diagnosed until it has invaded adjacent organs, such as the rectum or bladder, or spread to lymph nodes in the pelvis. When this occurs, surgery (radical prostatectomy) is seldom an effective treatment. Current treatment involves a combination of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and hormone therapy. Hormone therapy deprives a man's body of male hormones necessary for prostate cancer to grow. In localized stage IV prostate cancer, hormone therapy and radiation therapy are often given together; however, new treatment strategies that offer patients a chance of cure are needed.
Patients with prostate cancer documented to involve the pelvic lymph nodes have an average time to cancer progression of approximately 18 months and this is reduced to less than 12 months in patients with high-grade cancer. Historically, standard treatment of these patients has involved hormonal therapy, surgery or radiation therapy. Treatment with either hormonal therapy or radiation therapy is associated with an approximate 55% chance of patients surviving 5 years without evidence of cancer progression, compared to approximately 20-40% for patients treated with surgery.
It has been demonstrated in several other cancers that multi-modality treatments that use combinations of chemotherapy, surgery, radiation and hormonal therapy improve cure or survival rates compared to treatment with a single therapy. In order to evaluate whether combination therapy could be beneficial in the treatment of prostate cancer that involves pelvic lymph nodes, a clinical study compared radiation therapy followed by immediate hormonal therapy to radiation therapy followed by delayed hormonal therapy, which was initiated only at the time of cancer progression.
Patients treated with radiation therapy and immediate hormonal therapy were more likely to be alive 5 years from initiation of treatment without evidence of cancer progression or development of distant metastatic disease than patients treated with radiation and delayed hormonal therapy. Both treatments, however, produced a similar chance of survival 5 years following treatment. The results of this clinical study suggest that the combination of radiation therapy and hormonal therapy reduces the time to cancer recurrence and development of metastatic disease, and may improve a patient's quality of life. The combination of radiation and immediate hormonal therapy increased the survival of some patients.
Clinical studies are ongoing comparing hormonal treatment to radiation treatment alone to determine whether radiation is necessary. Perhaps of greater interest, however, is whether the addition of other anti-cancer treatments directed at controlling cancer that has spread away from the prostate could improve the outcome of patients when combined with hormonal therapy, radiation therapy, or both. In other cancers, delivery of systemic treatment (hormonal therapy or chemotherapy) prior to radiation therapy has been demonstrated to improve both local control of the cancer and long-term cancer-free survival. Delivery of hormonal therapy or chemotherapy prior to radiation treatment (neoadjuvant therapy) may also be a more promising way to combine these treatment approaches.
Prostate cancer that has spread to distant organs and bones is treatable, but not curable with current standard therapies. Hormonal therapy has been the standard treatment of metastatic prostate cancer for many years. Metastatic prostate cancer usually can be controlled with hormone therapy for a period of time, often several years. Eventually, however, most prostate cancers are able to grow despite the hormone therapy. To learn more, go to Hormonal Treatment of Prostate Cancer.
Some patients with metastatic prostate cancer may not have any symptoms from their cancer. Previously, many of these patients were "observed" and only treated when problems did eventually develop. The results from a clinical study conducted by doctors in England comparing immediate hormone treatment to hormone treatment at the time of worsening cancer has shown improved survival for men treated immediately compared to those receiving treatment at the time of cancer progression. Complications from metastatic prostate cancer were also less frequent in men receiving immediate treatment. Patients with metastatic prostate cancer are currently being treated with hormone therapy using medications or orchiectomy soon after diagnosis.
Patients with advanced prostate cancer can have cancer cells that have spread to their bones, called bone metastases. Bone metastases commonly cause pain, increase the risk of fractures, and lead to a life-threatening condition characterized by an increased amount of calcium in the blood called hypercalcemia. Treatments for bone complications may include bisphosphonate drugs or radiation therapy.
Bisphosphonate drugs: Bisphosphonate drugs can effectively prevent loss of bone that occurs from metastatic lesions, reduce the risk of fractures, and decrease pain. Bisphosphonate drugs work by inhibiting bone resorption, or breakdown. Bone is constantly being "remodeled" by two types of cells: osteoclasts, which break down bone; and osteoblasts, which rebuild bone. Although the exact process by which bisphosphonates work is not completely understood, it is thought that bisphosphonates inhibit osteoclasts and induce apoptosis (cell death) in these cells, thereby reducing bone loss. There is also evidence that these drugs bind to bone, thereby blocking osteoclasts from breaking down bone.Cancer cells release various factors that stimulate osteoclastic activity, causing increased breakdown of bone. By inhibiting osteoclasts, bisphosphonate drugs effectively reduce the detrimental impact that cancer cells have on bone density.
Bisphosphonate drugs that are FDA-approved for the treatment of cancer-related skeletal complications include Zometa® (zoledronic acid) and Aredia® (pamidronate). Of these two drugs, Zometa® appears to demonstrate the strongest activity. An added benefit of Zometa® is that it is administered in a dose ten times lower than Aredia®, which considerably reduces the administration time from several hours to 15 minutes, resulting in a more convenient regimen for patients.
Zometa® has been shown to be a safe and effective treatment in prostate cancer patients with bone metastases. Zometa® significantly reduces the proportion of patients who experience skeletal complications, extends the time to first skeletal complication, and reduces the risk of skeletal complications.[1]
Zometa® also appears to benefit patients with prostate cancer undergoing androgen deprivation therapy, or "hormonal therapy". Hormonal therapy in the treatment of prostate cancer has been shown to cause bone loss.[2]
Researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital and 5 other medical institutions conducted a clinical trial evaluating Zometa® in patients with localized prostate cancer being treated with androgen deprivation therapy. This study included 106 men who were randomly selected to receive either Zometa® or a placebo for one year. Bone mineral density in the spine, hips, and legs increased among patients who were treated with Zometa® and decreased in patients who received placebo.[3]
Radiation therapy: Pain from bone metastases may also be relieved with radiation therapy directed to the affected bones. The side effects of radiation therapy for relief of bone pain depends on the area of the body being treated. Another method for treatment of bone pain is the use of radioisotopes, such as strontium-89. Strontium-89 is given intravenously and accumulates in the bones where it kills prostate cancer cells by delivering small amounts of radiation. Clinical studies have shown that bone pain and the need for pain medications can be reduced in the majority of patients treated with strontium-89. Since strontium-89 is given by vein, it can affect all bones in the body, whereas external radiation therapy is limited to only small areas of the body. The major side effect of strontium-89 is a reduction in blood cell counts.
The progress that has been made in the treatment of prostate cancer has resulted from development of better treatments in patients with more advanced stages of cancer and participation in clinical studies. While some progress has been made in the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer, the majority of patients still succumb to cancer and better treatment strategies are clearly needed. Future progress in the treatment of prostate cancer will result from continued participation in appropriate clinical studies. Currently, there are several areas of active exploration aimed at improving the treatment of prostate cancer.
Chemotherapy: Because hormone therapy is not curative and only controls metastatic prostate cancer for a certain amount of time, efforts are underway to discover more effective systemic therapy. Recently, several chemotherapeutic drugs have demonstrated the ability to kill prostate cancer cells in patients with recurrent cancer. Developing and exploring single or multi-agent chemotherapy agents as a treatment approach for patients with metastatic prostate cancer is an area of active investigation. In particular, the chemotherapy drugs Novantrone®, Taxotere®, paclitaxel and estramustine are being evaluated in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer.
Select patients with recurrent prostate cancer have been shown to live longer when treated with Taxotere compared to standard chemotherapy.
In a direct comparison of treatment with Taxotere®/prednisone to the historical standard treatment–mitoxantrone/prednisone–patients treated with Taxotere survived more than a year and a half (19 months), on average, compared to 16.5 months for patients treated with mitoxantrone.[4] There also appears to be a similar improvement in survival when Taxotere is combined with the chemotherapy drug estramustine.[5]
Combination Therapy: The growth of prostate cancers can be slowed but not eliminated by using drugs that block the effect of hormones on prostate cancer cells. Combining hormonal therapy with chemotherapy treatment appears promising.
Targeted Therapy:A targeted therapy is one that is designed to treat only the cancer cells and minimize damage to normal, healthy cells. The addition of targeted therapy to conventional therapy may offer the advantage of increasing the intensity of treatment delivered to the cancer and improving outcomes without increasing treatment-related side effects.
Vaccines: The purpose of a vaccine is to help the patient's immune system destroy the cancer by activating the patient's immune cells against the cancer. Vaccines are made from a variety of substances that often include the actual cancer cells removed from the patient. A difficulty in preparing vaccines is that the patient's cancer cells must be processed immediately following surgery. Patients and their surgeon must therefore prepare in advance to ensure the removed cancer cells can be handled properly for vaccine preparation. Vaccines are currently being evaluated in clinical studies.
Phase I Trials: New chemotherapy drugs continue to be developed and evaluated in patients with recurrent cancers in phase I clinical trials. The purpose of phase I trials is to evaluate new drugs in order to determine the safety and tolerability of a drug and the best way of administering the drug to patients. Vitamin D analogues, monoterpenes, flavopirodol and anti-angiogenesis drugs are currently in development.
Gene Therapy: Currently, there are no gene therapies approved for the treatment of prostate cancer. Gene therapy is defined as the transfer of new genetic material into a cell for therapeutic benefit. This can be accomplished by replacing or inactivating a dysfunctional gene or replacing or adding a functional gene into a cell to make it function normally. Gene therapy has been directed towards the control of rapid growth of cancer cells, control of cancer death or efforts to make the immune system kill cancer cells. Gene therapy offers the hope of changing the way cells function and is beginning evaluation in prostate cancer patients.

The time was confirmed as show up at 8:45 and troop 9:30 to 10:30. I'm pretty sure no Leias have signed up yet other than a young Boushh/Leia.

My Leia belt is missing. I'll probably go as Jedi, since that's the only thing that's complete & weather appropriate.

Great product, good value, easy installation.
Louisville, KY
Customer Rating:
I had been looking around for some good flooring for a home gym and I came across great mats. the extra $150 to have it shipped to beat the quality you can get at any Lowe's type of store seems well worth it to me now. When I called they were very helpful and it shipped out within a couple of days. The install was very easy and I was able to cut the pieces and lay it within a few hours.

great product. easy to install. can barely see the seams.
Spring Branch, TX
We purchased this for our basement gym. We installed Barricade over the concrete (insulated underlayment) and put the rubber tiles on top. It turned out great. The product is better than expected. There's some slight odor, but it's dissipating nicely. We would use this again. Also, we found Great Mats really nice to work with - very helpful on the phone; fast shipping.

Mods- You delete a TD that offers alternative to Fannation is what...5 minutes?
But you can't be bothered to actually police your own site.
What does it tell you that so many good users are leaving? We've tried so many suggestions over the past months and years, but nothing really changes.
The lag and the nonsense is too much.
I've heard that there's been some smack talk about the sportsnickel forums and about Daywalkers.
Most of you users know me, at least by name, and know that I'm a good enough guy...or at least reasonable.
So here's the deal.
If DW seemed exclusive here, it was because we weanted to keep control of our own group. We had to self-moderate. We weren't trying to be exclusive or exclusionary. If it came off that way, it was not waht we intended.
Yes, we're keeping the group the same for the time being, but I'd encourage anyone who has gripes about FN to come check out the forums. Be active there. It'll be an improvement.
It doesn't have TDs, but it will develop into a great place for sports forums, and we want ALL good users to join in.
I know this'll be deleted in short order, but if you read it, spread the word.

Declined Offer
Neutral Experience
Average Interview
I applied through college or university - interviewed at MassMutual in March 2012.
Interview Details I handed my resume to the recruiter at my college's career fair in the fall. Early spring I received a phone call about their interest and I scheduled an on site interview. I went to their main headquarters in Springfield and it seemed like I was there during a large internship hiring process as there were many other young college kids. I was interviewed by the man I would be working under, which lasted around 30 mins. It was a very formal interview, however after I received a little gift bag and a water as I left which was nice.
Interview Question – What did you struggle most with so far and how did you overcome it? Answer Question
Reason for Declining – The offer came very late after I had interviewed and I received another internship.
Would you like us to review something? Please describe the problem with this {0} and we will look into it.
Your feedback has been sent to the team, and we'll look into it.
Sorry, but your feedback didn't make it to the team. Your input is valuable to us – would you mind trying again?
The difficulty rating is the average interview difficulty rating across all interview candidates.
The interview experience is the percentage of all interview candidates who said that their interview experience was positive, neutral or negative.
Your response will be removed from the review – this cannot be undone.

Latios is widely regarded as one of the best Dragon-types in BW OU, sporting an amazing Special Attack and a blistering base 110 Speed stat, allowing it to outspeed every other unboosted Dragon-type. In the DW metagame, it retains its lethal status, but due to the presence of common threats such as Choice Scarf Genesect and Choice Scarf Shadow Tag Chandelure, Latios finds itself hard-pressed to compete with its Dragon-type brethren, most notably Garchomp and Dragonite. However, Latios does have some perks over its brethren. Although its secondary Psychic typing might seem like a thorn in Latios's side due to its susceptibility to Pursuit as well as its weaknesses to Bug- and Ghost-type moves, it lets Latios easily revenge kill one of the most common and dangerous threats in the DW metagame: Keldeo. In addition, Latios has the highest Special Attack of any Dragon-type in the metagame, which allows it to pose a significant threat to common walls, such as Forretress and Skarmory. Psyshock allows it to break through not only Keldeo, but also Blissey and Chansey, something that other special attackers have difficulty doing. Despite Latios's more obvious flaws in the DW metagame, it is still a potent threat that many teams can be unprepared for.
This is Latios's best set; it hits hard yet still has the ability to switch moves. Draco Meteor is insanely powerful, obliterating anything that doesn't resist it with the exception of Blissey and Chansey. Even some Steel-types can be 2HKOed. If the Special Attack-lowering side effect a turnoff, Latios can use Dragon Pulse over Draco Meteor, although the drop in power is quite noticeable. Surf is an excellent complementary move to Dragon Pulse or Draco Meteor, as it provides great coverage and hits threats such as Tyranitar for super effective damage. Latios can also take advantage of rain to pound the opponent with a boosted Surf. In the third moveslot, either Psyshock or Hidden Power Fire is a viable option. Psyshock is the preferred move, given the ubiquity of Keldeo in the DW metagame, as it allows Latios to OHKO Keldeo regardless of how many Calm Mind boosts it has obtained. Hidden Power Fire allows Latios to OHKO Genesect, Ferrothorn, and Forretress, though it doesn't really do much else and lowers Latios's Speed IV. Roost is used in the last slot in order to stave off some of the recoil damage from Life Orb, and it is a very useful move in general.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Choice Latios is an extremely potent threat. It can use either Choice Specs or a Choice Scarf very effectively; with the former, it can smash most of the metagame to pieces with its STAB, Choice Specs-boosted Draco Meteor, and with the latter, it outspeeds virtually every other common Choice Scarf user, including Garchomp and Genesect. Draco Meteor is Latios's most powerful move, decimating anything that doesn't resist it and even 2HKOing some Pokemon that do. Surf is a great secondary move, as it provides useful coverage. Hidden Power Fire completes that coverage by conveniently roasting Genesect and Ferrothorn should they try to come in and wall Draco Meteor, although it does come with a lowered Speed IV. If Genesect and Ferrothorn are not a problem, then Dragon Pulse can be used in place of Hidden Power Fire for a reliable STAB move that doesn't lower Latios's Special Attack. The last move is simply dependent on what your team needs covered. If your team has trouble with Keldeo, then Psyshock is the way to go, as it OHKOes even through Calm Mind boosts. However, Trick is a great move to cripple Pokemon such as Chansey and Ferrothorn that think they can switch in for free.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Latios has access to a great boosting move in Calm Mind. Although this set is rarely seen and somewhat less effective in the DW metagame, it can be devastating if allowed to set up. After one Calm Mind, Latios has 538 Special Attack, and with its excellent type coverage in just two or three moves, it can easily sweep mid- to late-game. Dragon Pulse is the STAB move of choice; it is reliable, decently powerful, and has great neutral coverage. Surf complements Dragon Pulse nicely and hits threats such as Tyranitar, Heatran, and several others for super effective damage. The last moveslot can vary depending on your team's needs. Psyshock is a foolproof way of dealing with any variant of Keldeo, Hidden Power Fire deals with pesky Genesect and Ferrothorn, while Roost allows Latios to heal off any damage taken, including Life Orb recoil, and gives it a much easier time setting up and more staying power. However, it is important to note that Hidden Power Fire lowers Latios's Speed IV, making it impossible to Speed tie with other base 110s, such as Gengar, Latias, and opposing Latios.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Latios has quite an extensive special movepool, consisting of additional coverage moves such as Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, Grass Knot, Shadow Ball, and other Hidden Power types, including Hidden Power Fighting to hit Tyranitar. However, these moves usually don't offer better coverage than the listed moves, especially on the Choice set, on which a STAB Draco Meteor hits harder than any of them. Expert Belt is an option to feign a Choice item, although the power output is rather mediocre unless the move hits the target super effectively. Although Latios is usually better off running an offensive set of some sort, it does have access to Light Screen and Reflect, as well as a fast Memento, which makes Latios a formidable and reliable dual screener. Otherwise, there aren't any "viable" options, as Dragon Dance is somewhat pointless on a special attacker with only a base 90 Attack stat.
Checks and Counters
Latios is most susceptible to Pursuit trappers such as Tyranitar and Scizor and to Shadow Tag Chandelure. Its Defense is average at best, and pounding it repeatedly with powerful physical attacks can wear it down quickly, especially if they are super effective. Latios is one of the fastest Dragon-types in the metagame, tying only with its sister, Latias, meaning that other Dragon-types are forced to equip a Choice Scarf if they want any hope of beating Latios. Excadrill in the sand can outspeed and OHKO with a +2 Return or X-Scissor, but it cannot switch into Surf or Hidden Power Fire and cannot OHKO without a Swords Dance boost. Choice Scarf Genesect is a decent check, as it can outspeed Latios unless it carries a Choice Scarf of its own and easily OHKO with a Download-boosted U-turn. Ferrothorn can easily take any attack that Latios can throw at it bar a Hidden Power Fire and either paralyze it with Thunder Wave or wear it down with Gyro Ball and Leech Seed.

Those who attended last year's event watched as Rodney Owens, Beth Rogers, Hardy Jackson, Ronnie Smith and emcee Derek Brown roasted and toasted JSU President Bill Meehan.
"We laughed a lot that night," said Mandi King, who serves as the board secretary. "And it was all for a good cause."
Brown, a longtime supporter of the Center of Concern agrees, and that is why he is returning as emcee this year when Phil Webb, owner of Webb Concrete and Building Materials, will be hailed as the "Man of the Hour."
Phil graciously agreed to take his turn in the "hot seat" to raise money for the center, a non-profit charitable organization that has served the needy in this area since the 1950s.
"The center was originally founded as a food and clothing bank but has expanded over the years to include medical assistance and help with utility bills or transportation," explained Chairman of the Board Bert Oelschig.
Tickets for the event include a three-course dinner provided by Classic on Noble owners David and Cathy Mashburn. Cathy, a Center of Concern board member, is also co-chairing the fundraiser along with Donna Barton. Tea will be served with the meal and a cash bar will be available for other types of liquid nourishment.
The evening begins with appetizers at 6:30 p.m. followed by dinner at 7. At 8 p.m., the roasting will get underway. This year's roasters include Larry Deason, president of Farmers and Merchants Bank; David McCormack, CEO of Regional Medical Center; Julia Segars, vice-president of Alabama Power's Eastern Division; and Rick Dawson, co-owner of Dawson's Vision Center.
A word of caution to the roasting panel: Once you're done having your fun, it will be Phil's turn to share a story or two about you — that's what they call having the last laugh.
Tickets are $50 per person, and are on sale at Classic on Noble, Webb Showroom in Oxford and Farmers and Merchants Bank on Quintard in Anniston. Tickets can also be purchased from any Center of Concern board member including Hank Waide, Bill Manning, Dianne Green, Judy Myers, Mary Jones, Dee Rochester or Father Bryan Lowe.
Tables can be reserved with a credit card by calling Donna Barton at 256-237-1713. Reserved tables seat six to eight guests and the cost is the $50 per person ticket price plus an additional $200.
"The sooner one calls, the better," Donna cautions. "It will be first come, first served on table location."
Board member Charles Doster and his wife, Juliette, were the first to reserve a table and are looking forward to a fun night out with friends. More information can be found at annistonevents.com.

Ah, mortality. Smith is at a point in his life and his career when it is natural for men to ponder such things.
Ditka was hired by George Halas; fired by his grandson Michael McCaskey.
Smith was hired by McCaskey and Jerry Angelo; now brother George McCaskey and Phil Emery are in charge.
Eventually, this may be a problem for Smith as it was for Ditka.
But if he gets the team he believes is his best to perform close to expectations, it's not going to be a problem for at least the next three seasons.
Smith sure appears to be buying himself time.

By David Whitford, editor-at-large
FORTUNE -- It will be a dark and stormy night; I'm counting on it. But it's early yet. The sky is blue, the sea an unfamiliar shade of turquoise, and the air, room temperature. Maybe a little blowy, but I'm not complaining. I woke up this morning in Boston (we had some snow this winter -- maybe you heard), and here I am, two hours out of Logan, in Bermuda.
I came down with Malcolm Gosling Jr. Malcolm, who just turned 50, was born and raised in Bermuda. He looks the part: cleft chin, square jaw, blue blazer, white shirt open at the collar. He talks as if he has a mouthful of marbles. Malcolm's great-great-great-grandfather was Ambrose Gosling, whose brother, James, the oldest son of William Gosling, a London vintner, arrived in Bermuda from England in 1806 aboard the barque Mercury, carrying 10,000 pounds sterling of wine and spirits. Bermuda was not the Mercury's intended destination. James meant only to stop, but he lingered (I'm not surprised), and eventually Ambrose joined him.
Business was shaky, initially, but Ambrose persisted, and nearly two centuries later his descendants -- among them Malcolm; his sister, Nancy Gosling, who's CEO; and his cousin, the Right Worshipful Charles Gosling, mayor of Hamilton -- preside over an eclectic and prosperous family enterprise. They're the biggest distributors of wine, beer, and spirits on the island, and among the biggest retailers of same. They control the duty-free franchise at the airport. They own real estate. And they blend rums -- notably, Gosling's Black Seal.
You used to be able to walk into any Gosling's store on the island with an empty container and fill it with rum straight from the barrel. Bottling -- using champagne empties salvaged from the officers' mess at the British garrison -- began only after World War I, in response to demand from participants in the annual Newport Bermuda yacht race, who bought cases of Gosling's to bring back home. It's front-of-the-shelf behind every bar from St. George's to Somerset (where you'll find the last Gosling's store that still sells Black Seal on tap). But until fairly recently, if you had a craving for genuine Gosling's rum, you had to go to Bermuda to satisfy it. More

One of the smartest ways to add warmth and comfort to a plain looking room is by adding molding. Crown molding runs along the top of the top of the wall and intersects with your ceiling. There are many different styles to choose from depending on your desired effect. You can also add a chair rail and wainscoting which will give your room an even more traditional look as well as protect your wall from nicks and scrapes. And the final piece of railing to install is the baseboard molding which will finish the look.
Your local hardware center will have the supplies you need to do this yourself and it does take time and patience as well as a little know-how with a table saw. There are pre-made molding kits which make the process easier but they do cost more.

Clay O'Connor 4 Times The Legal Limit
by Kimberly & Beck
posted Sep 17 2013 5:56AM
Here is 27-year-old Clay O'Connor. Newark Village PD arrested him just after midnight on Saturday and charged him with DWI, Aggravated DWI and Refusal of a Breathalyzer. When he got back to the station he was recorded with a BAC of .36 (FOUR TIMES THE LEGAL LIMIT). He looks like he's wearing a Vikings jersey, too bad they couldn't score 36 points against The Bears...

39 Downing St, New York, NY | Directions 1001440.729303 -74.003774
M-Su 6pm-11:30pm
Neighborhoods: West Village, Downtown
Chef Galen Zamarra helms this immaculate West Village jewelbox, where service is perfect and the food follows a cultivated, rustic style. Sourcing from farmers markets and local farms, Mas features black trumpet mushrooms, farm-raised chicken, and Vermont cheeses. The servers are professionally knowledgeable about food and wine to the extreme, with background information about the farms and vinyards items are sourced from. Wines focus heavily on France and biodynamic, organic vinyards.
Perfect place to impress a date or treat yourself to an absolutely delicious dinner, with all the important key words: "local, sustainable..." Prix fixe is the way to go. Must try Yellowfin Tuna l'Occidental appetizer. Drinks taste so refined, yet get you really buzzed.
New Yorkers who consider Blue Hill to be the ultimate expression of twee, refined locavore food have clearly never been to Mas (farmhouse), a very fine, very stylish, and very pretentious restaurant that nonetheless serves some of the best food in the city. The name is cringeworthy, and no one will be getting portions larger than what a well-behaved 9-year-old might expect, but for a certain kind of diner this is an ideal place to experience American food at its best and purest.
Super Duper Super – So super yummy....absolutely perfect!!!
Best Dinner Ever – Had dinner the other day and it was absolutely amazing. Don't go without having the tuna. Be ready for a fabulous dining experience. I will definitely go back.
Absolutely One Of The Best Dining Experiences Of My Life – Having eaten at Mas the other day for the first time, I was a bit baffled by some of the negative reviews. Apparently, the owner chef built the place back in 2004 after leaving Bouley and has been running it since then. Yet one review states that management of the place has changed....odd...Anyway, you can see the care and tenderness he has put into all aspects of the restaurant. The soft shell crabs were absurdly good while the peach crumble with nectarine sorbet and red currants was one of most wonderful desserts I have ever eaten. I dined with two guests and was celebrating an engagement. It was really a special night and can't say thank you enough to everyone at Mas (farmhouse) for making everything perfect.
Salty Food, Non-filling portions, and rude waiter – The 6-course tasting menu is not filling enough. Also, in cases where the cheff's selections were not up to par (2 of the 6 course meal were sent back for being too salty), we were charged for replacement plates, and the obnoxious waiter refused to budge . Two of the 6-course menu were good, and the choreograohed meal delivery was great - for which i gave the 2 stars. Otherwise, this place is not worth it!
Excellent – One of a kind! Food was out of this world!
Finally! – The Emperor Has No Clothes!
This is one of the most overrated restaurants in New York.
Beware – Do Not Be Fooled by these glowing reviews written by the new owners or their friends this is NOT the same restaurant that I celebrated my anniversary in last year.
There is not exactly an "Under New Management" sign on the front door. Was there something wrong with my clothes? (Pucci dress and pumps, not fake thanks). Was I not hip enough? (I was younger by 15 years than the other diners) We were greeted like maybe we were covered in dead fish and brought to a back table by the kitchen door when there was only 10 other people in the restaurant the entire time. I dont expect anyone to remember us from 2008 but we were dressed up and ready to spend money on a nice meal--
you are a restaurant. Get it?
We brought our memory of a romantic meal, some of the best food in Manhattan. The waiter weirdly sold my husband wine before he knew what we were eating, or he thought he had taken our order already. I vote for number two because after an hour when we walked out, and we did walk out, we paid the bartender not him and he didn't exactly chase us down the street for his money (or the other waitress who took our order).
HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS for this mistake!
The appetizer recommended was tuna with brown butter. The tuna was FROZEN in the center. Just guess how much they are charging for this appetizer!!
Forgettable entrees were thrown down in front of us.
"Service" was our water glasses filled again and again...
At these prices? cynical, cynical, cynical!
Surprised by how good this was – My husband and I went to Mas for a birthday meal. We were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful wood-and-stone accents throughout the restaurant, and how well the tables were spaced. We were seated in the small back alcove room, and it was almost full the whole night. There was always a pleasant hum of conversation but it was never noisy.
The food was excellent. We both had the $68 tasting menu. We each had three dishes plus dessert, starting with an excellent caviar course. My husband also thought his cheese course was outstanding. The supplemental charges for the caviar course ($9 each) and his cheese course in place of dessert ($3) were very reasonable.
My only complaint, and it's not a strong one, is with the service. Although Mas's food rating in Zagat's is equal to the top tier, the service is not. The host who poured our champagne put huge heads of foam on both glasses and slopped drips of wine on the table, repeatedly. Our main waitperson was a little silly and overly friendly in her attempts to 'engage' us. There was a reasonable pause between the first and second courses, but the entree course came much too quickly and they were handing us the dessert menus seconds after the entree course was cleared. Also, the coordination between wine and food wasn't great - our glasses were dry before we were asked if we wanted more, and the glass of wine ordered specifically for one course came a good 5 minutes after the course was served.
Our Favorite Restuarant in New Yoke – In a recent trip to New York we tried Mas for the first time. Our food was incredible. The atmoshere extremely warm - particularily for New York - and the service could not have been better.
Our server had spent time in San Francisco, Chicago and New York at some terrific restuarants including Blackbird in Chicago(another one of my favorites). We let him choose our entire meal and he asked some thoughtful questions and made perfect recommendations!!!
Pretentious and Rude – "I had high hopes for this place.... The food was definitely good, but the service was pretentious and rude. I took my mom there for Mother's Day. Right away the waiter was pretty distant and pretentious but after we ordered it was even worse! We had eaten a late lunch so we decided to just split an appetizer and an entree. Also, she had to drive home after dinner and the wine was $16/glass so we didn't get any drinks. Well, they weren't fans of our order. The waiter said "That's all you want?" and then later in the meal sort of made fun of us for sharing. My mom also saw the waiter go over to the host and tell them we were sharing and they started laughing. The whole rest of the meal, he was totally rude to us. I could understand having a little attitude if we were taking up a whole table at prime time and only ordering drinks. But we basically each had a meal's worth of food and eating at 6:30pm when half the tables were empty. If a restaurant frowns upon sharing, they should mention it on the bottom of the menu. I still think that's a bit pretentious, but I respect the directness, instead of laughing about it behind our backs (or more like in front of our faces.) Restaurants should appreciate their customers, not make them feel unwelcome. You can get food as good at places that are fun, upbeat and welcoming."

Several organizations assembled Monday morning on a shady patio in Port-au-Prince to discuss a series of reactions to the new school construction standards released by the Haitian Ministry of Education in May (download the English translation here)(or the original document in French). This is the School Standards sub-group [of the UN Education Cluster] dedicated to the standards' review–sitting in the back yard of PARQE–"Programme d'appui au renforcement de la qualité de l'education" ("Program to support the strengthening of quality in education"). An air conditioner unit and a colony of unseen insects jostled for control of the ambiance. Somebody asked, in broken French, for the chairwoman to speak up.

Distressingly little repair or rebuilding has occurred since the Gaza War (2008-2009). The Gaza strip is one of the most densely populated areas in the world, and residential zones suffered significant damage during the war. Over 15,000 homes sustained extensive damage during the War, displacing over 100,000 Palestinians and leaving thousands of families living in sub-standard conditions. The conflict left approximately 1,400 Palestinians dead and countless families without income due to loss of wage earner, multiple disabled family members, and increasingly high unemployment rates. The vast destruction calls for more than hasty, temporary solutions; in order to effectively help the communities in need, we must understand the importance of alternative, innovative, and sustainable solutions.

"Hey Karl, come take a look at this." I'm in the office we share with Habitat for Humanity. Eric, or Program Manager, had made me stick around for his meeting there as the rest of the team went home, probably because I had to go back to the house earlier to get some equipment. Now he's interrupting my work and beckoning me outside. Now what, I mumble. Eric's been making me do stuff ever since I arrived in Haiti. "Walk here." "Eat this." "Document that site." He's an earful.

On the 5th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is hosting a design competition in New Orleans. The focus of the competition is helping the local community rebuild after the storm. Students and young professionals will be able to showcase their most innovative and sustainable design concepts to a select panel of jurors.
The Natural Talent Design Competition, now in its eighth year, is in collaboration with Salvation Army's EnviRenew Initiative. The competition will challenge entrants to design an affordable 800 foot LEED for Homes structure for an elderly resident in the Broadmoor neighborhood. Winners will be announced at the Greenbuild International Conference and Expo in Chicago in mid-November and they will actually see their designs built.

Several members of the Haiti team revisited Good Shepherd, a small community school near Cité Soleil, on Monday to present schematic designs and charrette with several teachers, the school director and members of the Child Sponsorship Program.
The Team presented preliminary designs for review. The school is rather large, 1100 students, and requires the construction of 20 classrooms. The design proposes a permanent school to be phased in room by room while children are attending class throughout the next school year. Presently classes are being held in the church and under a series of tents.

Michelle Kaufmann visited Architecture for Humanity headquarters for our weekly Lunch and Learn session to talk about sustainable design. Her firm, Michelle Kaufmann Studio, works to make thoughtful, sustainable design more accessible. She said the average San Francisco home emits 8,000 lbs. of waste. One way to reduce waste by as much as 50 to 75 percent is to utilize modular construction, she said. A modular home is created in the factory but built to suit a specific site. You can check out a video of a modular home (designed by Michelle Kaufmann's firm) being set up here: http://michellekaufmann.com/2010/03/smart-home-a-home-in-90-seconds/.

Alex Duquelia looked aroud the classroom we were all sitting in and said "you see this construction is no good." He pointed at the walls that were built just three months ago "these are three feet too low" (they were 8' high) and up at the exposed roof truss "this does not support the ventilation we need to FEEL" and at the wide window opening he was facing, behind the rest of us "and this, the most senseless mistake: I stand here, see that and cannot see the faces of my students." Haiti may have started rebuilding, but a poorly designed school is almost reduced to impotence. Thankfully this was only a "transitional" school, in the sense of being a placeholder for a more ambitious campus plan–more specifically the campus of the Université Quisqueya ("UniQ"), where members of Architecture for Humanity were visiting architecture department students and staff. Alex headed the architecture department and was kind enough to receive us. The word on his lips: "patrimoine."

Former TTU President Angelo Volpe honored for his positive impact on higher educationTennessee Tech University President Emeritus Angelo Volpe was recently honored by The Roundtable of Vanderbilt University's Peabody College for his positive influence in higher education.
Volpe was nominated for the honor by Tennessee Higher Education Commission Director Richard Rhoda and his wife, Nancy.
"As president of Tennessee Tech, Dr. Volpe was the ideal university president," said the Rhodas. "He was a role model for thousands of students. He is the ultimate scholar practitioner, a true friend and colleague."
Among this year's other honorees are Mike Campbell, vice chancellor of the University of California at Merced; Mary Brown, math department chairperson at the Francis Parker School in San Diego, Calif.; Amy Harris-Solomon, director of Easter Seals McWhorter Family Children's Center in Nashville; and others who've had positive impacts in the lives of Roundtable members.
Volpe and all the other honorees were recognized at the recent Peabody College Leadership Dinner in Nashville.
The Roundtable is often described as "the foundation of philanthropy to Peabody College," because its members contribute more than 70 percent of the college's unrestricted gift donations each year.
The organization was established in 1982 by alumni, parents and friends who recognized Peabody College as "a private institution with a public mission," and the support of Roundtable members has helped the college rank in the top tier of American institutions in the fields of teacher education, school reform, social policy and human development.
Honorees from previous years have included teachers, spiritual leaders, coaches, counselors, professors and other education-related professionals.
