Soccer Shutout in Colorado
A trip to Colorado yielded no goals for the St. Cloud State soccer team who were shutout in a pair of matches this weekend in Durango. The Huskies fell in a heartbreaker on Saturday by a score of 1-0 to Fort Lewis College and also dropped a 1-0 contest Sunday to Mesa State College.
For the first time under Coach Becky Heiberger, the Huskies fell in their season opener. St. Cloud and Fort Lewis played to a scoreless draw until the game's 89th minute when Torrey Larson scored for the Skyhawks with only 59 seconds left in the game. In Sunday's game, the SCSU offense was again unable to get on the scoreboard as the Huskies find themselves 0-2 to start the season.
St. Cloud hosts the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Festival this weekend, and KVSC will be broadcasting Sunday's game between the Huskies and Moorhead live on 88.1 FM. Ben Prchal and Zack Fisch will have the call with kick-off slated for 2 P.M.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz Has A Hit Coloring Book
A St. Louis publisher says it has already sold out of the first two print runs of the kids book Cruz to the Future, starring the Republican senator going hunting, giving speeches and more.
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. A book on dinosaurs is usually the top seller for a St. Louis publisher of coloring books. This week its best seller stars Senator Ted Cruz. It's not a spoof, it really is meant for kids. The cover shows Cruz pointing to a tea plant with leaves reading Ten Commandments and gun rights. Kids can color in the senator giving a speech against Obamacare. Or for those who prefer blue to red, the publisher always offers an Occupy Wall Street book. It's MORNING EDITION.

Keeping Things Whole
by Mark Strand
Analysis: Speaker
Who is our speaker? Sheesh, how would we know? This guy vanishes when he stands still.
But in all seriousness, it's hard to say. He likes small words, short sentences, few adjectives, and no drama. Maybe he's the quiet type, or maybe he's like a wise old sage who doesn't see the point in wasting words. In fact, the vagueness of his identity reinforces the poem's theme of absence and presence. He's like the invisible man of his own story.
We'll say he's a man, but there's nothing in the poem that suggests a gender for the speaker. We have no idea what he looks like, how old he is, where he is (aside from a field). In fact, this poem follows a minimalist style. In order to get down to the core of his "reasons for moving," the speaker tells us as little about himself as possible, but reveals a lot about how perceives his presence in the world.
A cool way to think about this is to say that the speaker is telling us what he thinks about how he feels, and how he feels about what he thinks. We couldn't write a biography of him to save our lives, but we can tell you he's preoccupied with feelings of isolation and absence. He's a deep thinker, meditative, and thinks of himself as someone who disrupts the unity of nature. Those are big themes for such a little poem, and our speaker knows how to capture it all in just a few short lines.

Data Envelopment Analysis: Measurement of Educational Efficiency in Texas
Date: August 2012
Creator: Carter, Lacy
Description: The purpose of this study was to examine the efficiency of Texas public school districts through Data Envelopment Analysis. The Data Envelopment Analysis estimation method calculated and assigned efficiency scores to each of the 931 school districts considered in the study. The efficiency scores were utilized in two phases. First, the school district efficiency scores were combined with school district student achievement to evaluate effectiveness with efficiency. A framework was constructed to graph the scores on an x-axis of student achievement scores and a y-axis of efficiency scores to further illustrate the data. The framework was evaluated with the full statewide sample and with school districts categorized into similar peer groups. Then, using variables selected from related scholarly literature, a regression analysis identified which factors impacted school district efficiency statewide. The non-discretionary variables included in the study were total student enrollment, the percentage of non-white students and the percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The discretionary variables selected included the teacher-to-student ratio, teachers' average years of experience, the percentage of teachers with master's degrees and the average teacher base salary. Amongst the seven factors selected for regression analysis, five statistically significant variables were identified as impacting statewide school district efficiency. All ...

The Demographics of Corporal Punishment in Texas
Date: May 2012
Creator: Phillips, Stephanie
Description: This dissertation examined the student discipline policies of 1,025 Texas school districts, as well as data from the Texas Education Agency's Academic Excellence Indicator System in order to identify demographic patterns regarding corporal punishment policies in Texas schools. the study also studied the relationship between a district's corporal punishment policy and student achievement. the dissertation utilized legal research methods and document analysis as its research methodology. Document analysis was the primary methodology used to answer the research questions whereby individual school district policies were identified and classified based on a number of demographic characteristics as well as the variations in corporal punishment policies among the various districts. the results of the study found that although more Texas school districts permit corporal punishment than have banned the practice, 60 percent of Texas school children go to school in districts where corporal punishment is not permitted. Corporal punishment is generally permitted in rural areas, with the majority of school districts in West Texas and the Texas Panhandle still allowing it by policy. a case study affirmed a finding from a national study regarding the type and locale of a student that is most likely disciplined using corporal punishment. the study determined that ...

A Descriptive Law and Policy Analysis of Corporal Punishment in Florida Public School Districts
Date: December 2012
Creator: Goodson, Christopher B.
Description: Corporal punishment is banned by state statute in 31 of the 50 U.S states. The 19 states that still allow the practice are largely located in the South and the Rocky Mountain West. However, data indicate that the practice of corporal punishment is still largely a Southern phenomenon. In the 19 states that allow the practice to continue in schools, many have seen the use of the disciplinary technique decline. Existing research documents the negative effects and very little research supports any positive benefits of corporal punishment. This study analyzes school board policies from the 67 public school districts in the state of Florida to determine if trends in policies and incidents of corporal punishment are similar Texas and North Carolina. Research on Texas and North Carolina indicate corporal punishment is used more frequently in districts with smaller enrollments, and in more rural areas. Data from this study suggests that the decrease in the number of incidents of corporal punishment as well as the concentration of the practice among school districts in Florida school follows the same trends of declining use that exist in Texas and North Carolina public schools. Findings illustrate a need for continued research of corporal punishment ...

A Descriptive Review and Analysis of the Creation and Development of an Advisory Program in an Inner-City Middle School
Date: May 2001
Creator: Hunter, Matthew P.
Description: This study described and analyzed the development and implementation of an advisory program at one urban middle school. Development of the advisory program began during the 1997-98 school year. The implementation of the program was examined during the 1998-99 and 1999-2000 school years. This school site was chosen because of the in-depth research and planning of the program beyond the typical amount performed by many schools, and the wide-scale staff participation utilized in the program's development. In order to follow the processes of development and implementation, several models of change, innovation, and organizational analysis were used to provide focus for analysis of events that occurred during the three years of the program examined in this study. Data was collected in multiple manners. A complete review of school documents concerning the advisory program was performed, and over 50 percent of the faculty were interviewed through individual and team interviews. The findings of this study include various elements concerning the development and implementation of the advisory program. Data was collected and analyzed in three main categories including a) driving and resisting factors for beginning and implementing the program, b) processes used to plan, maintain and develop the program, and c) the periods ...

A Descriptive Study of Personnel Decisions Appealed to the Texas State Commissioner of Education August 1981 - August 1986
Date: May 1989
Creator: Hughes, N. Sue Cothran
Description: The problem. --The problem in this study was to describe the issues arising in employment decisions appealed to the Texas Commissioner of Education. Decisions made in courts are binding on school officials, and they are published in law reporters found in most libraries. The Commissioner's decisions are also binding on school officials, but they are not published or widely reported. Thus, this important body of information may not reach those who are responsible for its application. Methods. --The decisions of the Commissioner were examined to determine the issues and the underlying rationale used by the Commissioner in the process of deciding the appeals. A series of data reductions allowed a determination of patterns found in the outcomes of the decisions which favored the employee and those which favored the school districts. The analysis produced a set of data from which implications for decision making could be drawn.

Determining Factors that Influence High School Principal Turnover Over a Five Year Period
Date: May 2010
Creator: Sheppard, Rebecca Replogle
Description: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of salary, compensation and benefits, accountability, job stress, increased instructional responsibilities, changes in student demographics, lack of support, politics, advancement opportunities and promotion on tenure and turnover among high school principals in the state of Texas. The participants in the study included 60 Texas high school principals who left a high school principalship for a different high school principalship within the past 5 years. The participants completed the Texas Principal Survey and data were analyzed using binary logistic regression. The data indicated that salary, compensation and benefits was a significant factor in predicting an increase in the odds of principal turnover for principals who had been in their prior principalship 5 or more years over principals who had been in their prior principalship less than 5 years. Additionally, advancement opportunities was a significant factor in predicting a decrease in the odds of principal turnover for principals who had been in their prior principalship 5 or more years over principals who had been in their prior principalship less than 5 years. Responses from an open ended question asking principals why they left their prior principalship suggested that principals left for reasons ...

Early College High School: Hispanic Students' Perceptions and Experiences From a Texas Campus
Date: May 2012
Creator: Brenner, Rose K.
Description: Early college high school (ECHS) is a dual enrollment program that allows high school students to earn college credits while in high school. ECHS was developed with the intention of attracting students to pursue a 4-year college degree, especially students who might not attend college without intervention. The program targets students from low-income families, students who have low academic achievement, and students from minority groups including Hispanics, African Americans, and Native Americans. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions and opinions of Hispanic students about their experiences in an ECHS, and to better understand how their ECHS experiences affected motivation to engage in academics. The expectancy theory and college-going culture provided the theoretical framework for this case study. Semi-structured interviews captured the experiences of the participants. The study focused on 10 Hispanic students, 5 seniors and 5 juniors, enrolled at an ECHS located on a community college campus in Texas. The study found that students with higher motivation to work at high school and college courses had several reasons for choosing to attend ECHS. The reasons included a chance to earn a high school diploma and associate's degree simultaneously, free college tuition, and an accelerated program to ...

Early Literacy: An Examination of the Principal Behaviors That Impact Reading Achievement
Date: December 2003
Creator: Baker, Brenda
Description: Literacy is fundamental to formal education, learning, and training for future career related skills. It provides not only the means of acquisition of information and skills during schooling, but it is a vital predictor of a person's general level of education in school as well as successful completion of schooling. Literacy skills serve as the major foundational skill for all school-based learning and without it, chances for academic and occupational success are limited. Despite the efforts of teachers, a significant portion of students continue to fail to achieve success in early literacy in school, with severe consequences for their subsequent educational progress, career opportunities and life chances. The extent of this problem varies throughout school systems. All of our children are affected by their reading ability, and as educators it is critical to provide for all students the most effective literacy programs and strategies which are research based, data-driven and successfully replicated. Because of the psychological, social and economic consequences of reading failure, it is critical to review the research to determine the risk factors that may predispose youngsters to reading failure, and the instructional practices that can be applied to ameliorate reading deficits at the earliest possible time. The ...

Educational Performance: Texas Open Enrollment Charter High Schools Compared to Traditional Public High Schools
Date: December 2012
Creator: Jackson, Nokomis "Butch," Jr.
Description: The study examined mathematics and English student achievement, attendance rates, dropout rates, and expenditures per pupil for Texas high school students in both open-enrollment charter schools and traditional public high schools for the 2009–2010 school year. All data were assembled using archived information found at the Texas Education Agency (TEA). This information included the TEA report entitled Texas Open Enrollment Charter Schools Evaluation; TEA Snapshot Yearly Report; and Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) data files. Microsoft Excel (Version 2010) was used to randomly select traditional public high schools categorized as Title 1 and non-Title 1 for comparison with Title 1 and non-Title 1 open-enrollment charter high schools. The IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) (IBM Statistics Version 20) was used for a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) conducted between one independent variable (charter or traditional school) and five dependent variables (mathematics exit-level TAKS scores, English exit-level TAKS scores, attendance rates, dropout rates, and expenditures per pupil). Traditional public high school students had higher or better average mean values than charter schools for mathematics exit-level TAKS scores, English exit-level TAKS scores, attendance rates, dropout rates, and expenditures per pupil. The ANOVA found that four of the five dependent variables ...

The Effect of a Telementoring Program on Beginning Teacher Self-efficacy.
Date: August 2007
Creator: Muehlberger, Linda S.
Description: This study examined whether the telementoring program had a positive impact on beginning teacher self-efficacy. Telementoring is an adaptation of mentoring, using telecommunications technology as the means to establish and maintain mentoring relationships between the participants. The program was intended to create an atmosphere of community; to provide expert training in the profession; to retain good teachers; and to offer support for the new teacher in times of self-doubt. A quasi-experimental design and mixed methods measures were used to determine the effect of a telementoring program on beginning teacher self-efficacy. Participants were members of a district induction/mentoring program. An experimental group of 20 first-year teachers that participated in a supplemental telementoring program were compared to 20 first-year teachers who did not. The Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Scale was used to collect data on beginning teacher self-efficacy. A pretest was administered prior to the treatment and members completed a post-test at the conclusion of the study. Results were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance. The experimental and control group results from both assessments were measured and compared. No statistically significant differences were found between the experimental group that participated in the telementoring program and those in the control group who ...

Re: Student Loan Rehabilita
tion And The Effect On Tradelines
tburns - i had a similar thing happen after my 9th payment. I made it in early june, then i got a letter asking for the final payment which i already had made. they explained that all nine were recieved and to not make that payment, and disregard the letter. I just got something in the mail yesterday from DOE saying that they forwarded the info to the treasury dept to stop taking my federal tax return, which is great news...I've been forking that over for the past 5 years. I am still waiting to hear from direct loans, which should be within the next 2 weeks to confirm the turnover and negotiate my payments. Nothing else yet to report, but I am keeping a close eye on the dates, I would hate to blow this whole thing on a mistake on their end, so I'm making phone calls to the DOE and DL from here on out.

A very good site for quick info on HP:
Sites to help you identify/correct a Mary Sue problem you may or may not have. Check ups should be given to all characters (especially original ones) every 3-5 chapters in order to create the most believable character possible:
06-06-12 - Currently working with my lovely betas on Sanctuary. We're enhancing the historical accuracy of the plotline / politics / characters, which I am really excited about. Once all of this is done I will have a faster turnaround on chapters. Thank you so much to everyone who has read / reviewed so far, your criticism and encouragement is greatly appreciated!
Summer 2012 - I have a fanfiction project or two in the mix. Sometimes plots for stories just come to you, and they enter your mind so loudly and vividly, that you just have to go with it.
In October 2008, I chose to discontinue my fanfictions, as I had a lot going on in Real Life, and quite honestly didn't feel connected to my work in the same way anymore.

User Reviews
As a big fan of the Ultima games and a wannabe game developer, I'd call Nazghul a dream come true. It comes with a full game, Haxima, which brings back nostalgic memories of Ultima IV or V--only this time with more modern enhancements, such as a log to keep track of quests and some fancier graphics. And besides that, if you don't like the way the game runs, you can design your own game in a fairly uncomplicated scripting language and run it with the same program. Thumbs up to the Nazghul team, and keep up the good work!

In this groundbreaking pamphlet, based on testimony he delivered before Congress, Ralph Nader describes how corporations are picking our pockets, and what we can do to stop them.
While the United States continues to experience unprecedented cuts in social service programs and millions of Americans go without health insurance, massive corporations continue to reap huge sums of taxpayer money through "corporate welfare"—corporate subsidies, bailouts, giveaways, and tax escapes. Cutting Corporate Welfare details numerous appalling examples of corporate welfare, including: the giveaway of the public airwaves, which by definition belong to the people, to private radio and television stations (including the latest $70 billion gift of the digital spectrum); taxpayer subsidies for giant defense corporation mergers and commercial weapons exports to governments overseas; and the practice of making patients pay twice for drugs—first, as taxpayers subsidize the drugs' development, and again, as patients, after the federal government gives monopolistic control over the chemical's manufacture to a price-gouging drug company.
Cutting Corporate Welfare sounds a wake-up call for those concerned about how we are being pick-pocketed by big business, and what we can do to stop it.
About the Author

Fischer Brings on Guest to Explain 'It Really All Stands To Reason' That Few Women Get Pregnant from Rape
Bryan Fischer is the type of person who doesn't believe that HIV causes AIDS, but rather that the disease is caused by gay men taking "poppers" in order "to make it possible to have numerous encounters on the same night."
So when Rep. Todd Akin set off a firestorm of controversy by saying that women have a biological defense against pregnancy in the case of "legitimate rape," it was no surprise that Fischer was one of Akin's earliest and most vocal defenders, declaring that Akin is "absolutely right."
In fact, Fischer dedicated much of his program yesterday to defending Akin, even bringing on Brad Mattes of Life Issues Institute to explain the various reasons why instances of women becoming pregnant via rape are extremely rare, such as women are only capable of conception for a few days every month, lots of women take contraception, lots of women and even rapists are sterile, and in many cases there is no penetration or deposition of sperm.
On top of that, Mattes explained, there is "a great deal of anxiety and hormones being released that would prevent [a victim] from becoming pregnant," which is why fertility specialists recommend to women who are trying to get pregnant to reduce the stress in their life.
"So it really all stands to reason," Mattes claimed, before he and Fischer went on to praise Todd Akin for having always been a staunch anti-choice zealot whose ascension to the Senate would be a huge boost to the movement and lamented that Republicans are "throwing him under the bus" instead of holding him up and "helping him weather this storm and controversy":

Hawaii jury convicts man in death of Asheville man
Published: Thursday, July 10, 2008 at 4:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, July 10, 2008 at 4:15 p.m.
HONOLULU (AP) A Honolulu jury has found a local man guilty in the one-punch killing of a law school prospect from North Carolina.
The Circuit Court jury found 23-year-old Less Schnabel Jr. guilty of manslaughter in the death of 34-year-old Christopher Reuther. Deputy prosecutor Darrell Wong said he will seek the maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
Reuther died two days after the April 22, 2007, incident. Authorities said Reuther had taken a photo of Schnabel on a West Oahu beach when he was hit. Reuther had only been in Hawaii a few hours.
Wong said Reuthers mother, Judy Wilson, was overcome with emotion when he told her of the verdict. Reuther grew up in Asheville, N.C.

text: Sunny Day Parade AKA Voodoo Pimp is a Putz I managed to peak over 1955 with this team so far. (That's my highest peak on anything ever.) I recently won the first Double Mini-Tour with this team (except for the Finals Match where my opponent and I used different teams, but it was still fun.) So recently, a new metagame was created, called Smogon Standard Doubles. Thanks to Zarel, we even have our own Ladder! Since now it's an official game, I decided to make an RMT based upon my current team. I've been playing around with VGC quite a bit recently, taking a break from the OU metagame, and realizing Doubles is probably the best game ever. Several normally banned Pokemon, including Shaymin-Sky, Blaziken, Excadrill, and all Deoxys forms have been released into the field for this new doubles game and I decided I wanted to play around with Sun and Blaziken, one of my favorite starters, who was blessed with the most game-changing ability it could receive, Speed Boost (although it could have gotten Reckless and I would've been overjoyed by that too.) Anyhow, I hope you like it, and I hope if you have any suggestions for how it could be better, you'll comment below. Team At A Glance In-Depth Teambuilding Process Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide So as I mentioned in the opening statement, I wanted to build a team around Sun Blaziken, so I had to take Ninetales along too! Now I knew I'd need a Rain check, as well as something that could function in Trick Room, since Blaziken just gets faster and faster. I chose Ferrothorn just for these reasons and I've never looked back on that decision. Next, I wanted a Chlorophyll Abuser to really mess with the opponent. Venusaur was my first thought, but looking through the list on-site, I saw that Lilligant was faster, and had access to multiple status effects, so I decided to throw it in. It works perfectly. Now after playing around a little while with the team, I wanted something bulky and slow that could reset Trick Room. Who better than the gold standard in doubles, Cressalia? Finally, I wanted another Sun Abuser, and as I already had the physical side covered with Blaze, I wanted a Special attacker. With Doubles, hazards are fairly rare, and I felt Volcarona would really shine. After a while, I felt Volcarona was too frail for the team, and swapped to Heatran as my Special Sweeper. Sadly, Blaziken was far too frail and lacked some of the power I wanted if I lost the weather war, plus Sand could be an issue sometimes, so traded out my founding member for Terrakion, who thrives in Sand. At this point, I thought the team was set, but I found myself with a slight disadvantage versus Fighting types. I traded Heatran back out for Volcarona and updated some EV spreads and Voila! 1955 peak! And that's the team as it stands. Now let's do an in-depth look. Set Lists and Such Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide Ninetales @ Leftovers Trait: Drought EVs: 252 HP / 124 Def / 132 SAtk Relaxed Nature IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spd - Heat Wave - Will-O-Wisp - Energy Ball - Protect Iron Ball Ninetales pretty much guarantees Sun on Turn 1 as it outslows everything...somehow. Heat Wave for Sun, STAB and spread damage. WoW is for crippling physical threats, as well as increasing her bulk. Sunny Day is to reset weather if I don't feel like swapping her out. Protect is Protect. I've also toyed with the idea of Imprison over Sunny Day, which prevents opponents from using any moves I have, notably Protect and WoW, but also Heat Wave from other Sun Sweepers. In singles, Ninetales Defensive leanings usually give it troubles, as it's not able to KO threats, but in Doubles, it's actually a boon, being able to resist a lot of hits before succumbing, while Burning things in the process, while its partner cleans house on the newly crippled threats. Edit: Changed the set and Item on Ninetales. Iron Ball was pretty much wasted considering at 0 IVs and Relaxed, I could outslow most weather starters, or just bring in Tales on the second turn if I was unsure. Leftovers gave me added longetivity, and Energy Ball lets me hit Water types and Balloon Heatran. Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide Terrakion @ Life Orb Trait: Justified EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef Jolly Nature - Close Combat - Rock Slide - Earthquake - Protect I replaced Blaziken with LO Terrakion, as I had a bit of a Sand weakness, as well as a problem with Rain Ferrothorn. This guy can also help me with my Psychic weakness when paired with some speed control, like Paralyze, or Icy Wind from Cress. He can also answer the threat of Excadrill. Honestly, this guy is just about as frail as Blaziken, but it hits a bit harder with Rock Slide and Close Combat, and can actually dent Psychics. It also doesn't need a turn to Protect to start rushing the other team, and it doesn't rely on Sun as much, or get completely fucked by a badly predicted protect, or 90% accuracy miss. It does mess with my Heatran/Blaze core, but it really makes up for the loss with raw power. Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide Ferrothorn @ Leftovers Trait: Iron Barbs EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def Impish Nature IVs: 0 Spd - Leech Seed - Protect - Power Whip - Toxic Ferrotank! This thing has won more than a few games with a clutch Leech Seed, or by Stalling out the opposition. Power Whip 2HKOs Politoed. Protect/Leftovers/Leech Seed makes Ferrothorn hard to kill even in the sun. He makes rain teams cry, makes Sand teams cringe and lures other Sun teams into a sense of false confidence. With dual Seeding, you can rack up damage against both opponents while protecting, can Toxic + Seed Stall and rack up huge damage over time, all while healing up and causing headaches to everyone involved. Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide Lilligant @ Lum Berry Trait: Chlorophyll EVs: 180 HP / 140 SAtk / 188 Spd Modest Nature IVs: 30 SAtk / 30 SDef - Giga Drain - Sleep Powder - Hidden Power Ground - Protect When making a Sun Team, you want a Chloro Abuser. I looked hard at Venusaur, but looking through the list, I noticed another couple Chlorophyll users, including Sawsbuck, Jumpluff and this beauty, Lilligant. Lilligant has access to several forms of status inducing moves such as Sleep Powder and Stun Spore, and is only beaten by Jumpluff in terms of fast sleepers, but Jumpluff is even frailer Lilligant and lacks any sort of attack stat, where Lilligant sports a fairly decent 110 Special Attack and can easily OHKO the bulkiest spread of Politoed with a Leaf Storm to the face, or it can paralyze Excadrill not carrying X-Scissor. Yes, Whimsicott is faster with Prankster and has about 116 Base Speed and Chlorophyll as well, but it really can't do anything but annoy things and it's easily predicted and shut down. Lilligant can also get KOs on things like Keldeo, Terrakion, Tyranitar and Excadrill, which are usually big issues for any sun team. Lum berry gives me a Trump card against Prankster Whimsicott, and gives me a backup against speed ties with other Lilligant, which is getting more popular suddenly. Edit: I changed the spread to a much bulkier one. Also, I can stand getting locked into Giga Drain much better than I could with Leaf Storm. I can now take Ice Beams, except from weird things like Specs Politoed, but no one runs that, right? It runs 188 Speed EVs to outspeed max speed Politoed out of Sun, unless it's Scarfed. Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide Cresselia @ Leftovers Trait: Levitate EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SAtk Bold Nature - Moonlight - Psychic - Icy Wind - Calm Mind The Great Wall of Flying Duck Thing! I totally stole this set from Voodoo_Pimp's RMT, and it replaced my TR resetter set. It's really, really, REALLY hard to kill, and it gets very powerful, very fast. Moonlight gives back 2/3 HP in the sun, and still gives back 1/3 in Sand/Hail/Rain. After a Calm Mind or two, almost nothing can kill this thing. Even TTar's Crunch can barely dent it, and pairing Cress with Blaziken is a quick way to remove the bloated Dinosaur. Icy wind is for Speed Control, which helps against Sand where Excadrill can give me issues. This is one of my go-to pokemon for Rain teams as well, as it helps dispatch of Politoed, slows down Ludicolo/Kingdra, walls Rotom-W, and hits Dragons for SE damage, as well as the Genies. Psyshock is for obligatory STAB and hits Conkeldurr and Hitmontop hard. Psychic can be subbed in to hit Conkeldurr over Tops harder, but usually Shock is usually a better idea for things like QD Volcarona or anything else that would normally boost up on Cress. Her versatility makes her pair off easily with anyone on my team, and helps everyone out, especially with Speed Control options. Leftovers increases its bulk even more and helps against Sand/Hail damage, as well as just making it harder and harder to kill over time. Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide Volcarona @ Charti Berry Trait: Flame Body EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 Def Modest Nature - Giga Drain - Heat Wave - Quiver Dance - Bug Buzz Bulky Volcarona is very strong, much stronger than people give it credit. With a Charti Berry equipped, it gets a one time pass against Rock Slide spammers, and at +1, it outspeeds Base 110s easily. It counters Lati@s, Cresselia, Water Types, Steel Types, Fighting Types, and patches up quite a few weaknesses on my team, without gaining any new ones (except a Flying one and a greater Rock one I suppose). Flame Body trolls things like Hitmontop, Scizor, and other priority users. Just swap out with Terrakion and let the lulz begin! Final Thoughts This team has gone through a lot of changes. I've been looking at making some changes, but I'm unsure, so I'm bringing it to you folks to give me some ideas. I can't see it for myself anymore, so that's where you come in. If you like the team, give it a try. If you like it, steal it, etc, leave a comment, luvdisc or rate! Importable Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide Great Wall (Cresselia) (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Levitate Shiny: Yes EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SAtk Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Psychic - Calm Mind - Moonlight - Icy Wind Tinderbox (Ninetales) @ Leftovers Trait: Drought Shiny: Yes EVs: 252 HP / 124 SAtk / 132 Def Relaxed Nature IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spd - Heat Wave - Will-O-Wisp - Energy Ball - Protect Discordia (Lilligant) (F) @ Lum Berry Trait: Chlorophyll Shiny: Yes EVs: 180 HP / 140 SAtk / 188 Spd Modest Nature - Sleep Powder - Giga Drain - Hidden Power [Ground] - Protect Ferrobawse (Ferrothorn) @ Leftovers Trait: Iron Barbs EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 Atk Impish Nature IVs: 0 Spd - Leech Seed - Protect - Power Whip - Toxic Mothra (Volcarona) @ Charti Berry Trait: Flame Body EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 HP / 4 Def Modest Nature - Giga Drain - Heat Wave - Quiver Dance - Bug Buzz Bully (Terrakion) @ Life Orb Trait: Justified EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef Jolly Nature - Close Combat - Earthquake - Rock Slide - Protect

- I was wondering if runtime system and compatible layer are the same thing? They both seem to be some software, running of which allows some other software to run on them. Links to Wikipedia for the two concepts have been provided above.
- Are they both virtual machines? The Wikipedia article for virtual machine mentions that run-time system is a kind of virtual machine.
- Why is Cygwin said to be a compatible layer as its type in its Wikipedia article? Is it an emulator of Linux OS, and/or a run-time system?
Although there appear to be a lot of similarities, there are some key differences:
A good example of a Runtime System would be the Java Virtual Machine which provides a consistent cross-platform environment for [compiled] Java byte code.
A good example of a Compatibility Layer would be WINE, which allows users to run unmodified Windows applications directly on Linux and Unix. Compared to WINE, the compatibility layers can also be quite small, such as a single library that the main code base uses to access OS-specific features (e.g., opening a file, communicating over the internet, etc.) which provide a consistent API for the application to effectively hide all the ugly OS-specific differences.
The disadvantage of a Runtime Environment is that the entire environment must be available to whatever code it will be running, which can require a lot of development effort.
The disadvantage of a Compatibility Layer is that is doesn't necessarily provide consistency, and can be more difficult to debug.
The advantage of a Runtime Environment is that, after being ported to a new platform, the applications will run without modification.
The advantage of a Compatibility Layer is that to support a new platform, only a new layer (or set of layers) needs to be created, and the main application can be compiled for the new target platform with minimal changes.
Virtualization is like an extremely extensive Runtime Environment, but the different there is that a CPU instruction set (and any required devices) are being virtualized or emulated very well.

A Tiki Island man is in jail today accused of shooting another man at a bayside bar just north of Tiki Island.
Mark Anthony Martino, 56, was arrested late Monday evening, according to the Galveston County Sheriff's Office. He was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and is being held on $60,000 bond, according to the sheriff's office.
