Court Opinions
CRIMINAL PRACTICE: Murder, Armed Robbery, Burglary, Effective Assistance of Counsel, Jury Selection, Juror Qualification; EVIDENCE: Witness Credibility, Impeachment, Prior Inconsistent Statement, Hearsay
Alert: The defendant fatally shot the victim after kicking in the door to his home and stealing money and marijuana.
Subject Matter Index: Convictions, affirmed, as evidence authorized jury to find that defendant fatally shot victim after kicking in door to his home, and stealing money and marijuana; defendant failed to show that defense counsel was deficient for not moving during voir dire to strike for cause prospective juror who was state probation officer, instead of using peremptory strike, since juror affirmatively answered yes when asked if she could "listen[] to the trial and judg[e] the evidence . . . without any bias to either party;" defense counsel was not deficient for failing to object and move for mistrial after State's witness gave testimony inconsistent with his previous statement to police, since counsel testified at new trial hearing that he strategically decided to portray witness as liar, rather than object to his testimony; trial court harmlessly erred in admitting certain hearsay testimony, which was cumulative of other properly admitted evidence.
Headnote: The Supreme Court affirmed Tamarkus L. Wright's convictions for malice murder, armed robbery and burglary, holding that the evidence authorized the jury to find that Wright fatally shot the victim after kicking in the door to his home, and stealing money and marijuana. The Court also held that Wright failed to show that defense counsel was deficient for not moving to strike for cause, instead of using a peremptory strike, on a state probation officer during voir dire, since that juror affirmatively answered yes when asked if she could "listen[] to the trial and judg[e] the evidence . . . without any bias to either party." Next, defense counsel was not deficient for failing to object and move for a mistrial, after a state's witness gave testimony inconsistent with his previous statement to police, since counsel testified at the new trial hearing that he strategically decided to portray the witness as a liar, rather than object to his testimony. Finally, the trial court harmlessly erred in admitting certain hearsay testimony, which was cumulative of other properly admitted evidence.
Text: Melton, Harold D., JusticeFollowing a jury trial, Tamarkus Lekeith Wright was found guilty of malice murder, felony murder, armed robbery and burglary in connection with the robbing and shooting of Joseph Ray.1 On appeal Wright contends that his trial counsel was ineffective and that the trial court erred in allowing improper testimony at trial. We affirm.
1. Viewed in the light most favorable to the jury's verdict, the evidence reveals that, on or about March 21, 2006, Wright, Ryan Danrico Simmons, and Elliott May went to Ray's home with the intent to rob him. Wright and Simmons kicked in the door to Ray's home, and Wright shot Ray. Wright and Simmons ransacked the home, stealing some money and marijuana. Wright then returned to Ray, who was still breathing, and shot him again. By the end of the incident, Ray had been shot four times, and he later died from the gunshot wound that he had received to his chest.
The evidence was sufficient to enable a rational trier of fact to find Wright guilty of all of the crimes for which he was convicted beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979).
2. Wright contends that his trial counsel was ineffective because (a) he failed to strike for cause a state probation officer during voir dire and instead used a peremptory strike to do so, and (b) he failed to object and move for mistrial when a State's witness testified to inadmissible character evidence.
In order to succeed on his claim of ineffective assistance, Wright must prove both that his trial counsel's performance was deficient and that there is a reasonable probability that the trial result would have been different if not for the deficient performance. Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (104 SC 2052, 80 LE2d 674)(1984). If an appellant fails to meet his or her burden of proving either prong of the Strickland test, the reviewing court does not have to examine the other prong. Id. At 697 (IV); Fuller v. State, 277 Ga. 505 (3)(591 SE2d 782)(2004). In reviewing the trial court's decision, " '[w]e accept the trial court's factual findings and credibility determinations unless clearly erroneous, but we independently apply the legal principles to the facts.' [Cit.]" Robinson v. State, 277 Ga. 75, 76 (586 SE2d 313) (2003).
(a) Wright has not shown that the state probation officer was subject to a juror strike for cause. See, e.g., Jordan v. State, 247 Ga. 328, 340 (6) (276 SE2d 224) (1981) (trial court did not err in overruling challenge for cause to juror who "was working at the time of the trial for the State Board of Pardons and Paroles as institutional parole supervisor" where juror stated affirmatively that "he had no fixed opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the defendant"). Indeed, here, the prospective juror responded "yes" when asked if she could "listen[] to the trial and judg[e] the evidence . . . without any bias to either party." Under these circumstances we cannot say that trial counsel rendered deficient performance by using a peremptory strike to have the juror removed instead of moving to strike the prospective juror for cause.
(b) Wright also asserts counsel was ineffective for failing to object and move for a mistrial with respect to the following testimony from State's witness Horace May:
Q: [W]hy did you think it was [that Wright] . . . put [a gun] in your shed?
A: At the time, okay, there was something going on about an air conditioner with a guy named Tim Simms that my name came up in, and with this guy, Tim Simms, however it went, and, I mean, [Wright] wanting to shoot Tim, kill Tim about whatever Tim supposed to been going around saying, so I decided I'm going down to the house.
Wright's counsel testified at the motion for new trial hearing that he did not object to this testimony because it was his strategy to use the witness' words against him to portray him as a liar on cross-examination. In this connection, the witness had previously told police that another man, not Wright, had placed a gun in the shed, and the witness had said nothing about Wright being involved with a gun at the time that he was initially interviewed by Wright's counsel. Because counsel's strategy to portray the witness as a liar rather than object to his testimony was reasonable, Wright has not met his burden of showing ineffective assistance. See, e.g., Washington v. State, 276 Ga. 655, 659 (3) (a) (581 SE2d 518) (2003) ("The manner in which an attorney attacks the credibility of a witness falls within the ambit of trial tactics") (citation omitted).
3. Wright also contends that the trial court erred in allowing the admission of certain testimony at trial. Specifically, he contends that (a) Ronald Williams was improperly allowed to make inadmissible hearsay statements during his testimony and make statements that improperly bolstered the testimony of Elliot May; and (b) Horace May was improperly allowed to make inadmissible hearsay statements during his testimony.
(a) Ronald Williams testified that he heard Anwayne Anderson and Little Lee Anderson tell Wright's girlfriend, Tasha Anderson, "You know your boyfriend fixing to go do some bump. . . [and] some f*cked up sh*t," meaning that Wright was allegedly planning on committing a robbery. However, even though this testimony constituted inadmissible hearsay (see OCGA § 24-3-1), we find no harm from its admission, as it was merely cumulative of other properly admitted evidence at trial from this witness and one of Wright's accomplices indicating that Wright said that he was "down for whatever" in order to get some money "out here in these streets," and that he had spoken with Simmons about making "some easy money right quick [by robbing this] old school dude [who] got money" immediately before traveling to Ray's house to rob him. See Smith v. Stacey, 281 Ga. 601, 601-602 (1) (642 SE2d 28) (2007) ("The admission of hearsay testimony is harmless when it is cumulative of legally admissible evidence showing the same fact").
Similarly, we find no harm from the admission of Williams' testimony regarding a jailhouse conversation that he allegedly had with Elliot May following Ray's death. Although Williams' testimony in this regard constituted inadmissible hearsay because it was given without May ever having the veracity of his own testimony challenged at trial (see Johnson v. State, 289 Ga. 498 (4) (713 SE2d 376) (2011)), we find no harm from its admission given the fact that other properly admitted evidence showed that a robbery involving multiple gunshots had taken place "in the victim's [home] . . . . [a]nd [Williams] did not mention [Wright] or place him at the crime scene. It is clear, therefore, that any improper bolstering of [May's] testimony by [Williams'] hearsay testimony had no real effect on [Wright's] convictions." Id. at 502 (4).
(b) With respect to Horace May's testimony regarding alleged statements made by Wright to Elliot May following Ray's death, Wright made no contemporaneous objection to this testimony at the time that it was offered. He has therefore waived review of this issue on appeal. Devega v. State, 286 Ga. 448, 449 (3) (689 SE2d 293) (2010) ("By not raising [a] double-hearsay objection at the time the testimony was introduced, [the defendant] waived that objection") (citation and punctuation omitted).
Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.
1On May 25, 2006, Wright was indicted for malice murder, felony murder (predicated on burglary), armed robbery, two counts of burglary, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The trial court severed one of the burglary counts and the possession of a firearm count from the remaining counts, and, following a September 22-25, 2008 jury trial, Wright was found guilty on all of the remaining charges. On September 25, 2008, the trial court sentenced Wright to life imprisonment for malice murder and armed robbery, and twenty consecutive years for burglary. The felony murder count was vacated by operation of law. See Malcolm v. State, 263 Ga. 369 (4) (434 SE2d 479) (1993). Wright filed a motion for new trial on October 17, 2008, which he amended on November 17, 2011. The motion was denied on November 18, 2011. Wright's timely appeal was docketed in this Court for the April 2012 Term and submitted for decision on the briefs.

SAP Java Connector for Pentaho Announced
Version 4.0 gets an open source plugin
The Aschauer firm in Vienna has announced an open source SAP Java connector plugin for the data integration components of the Pentaho version 4.0 business intelligence suite.
The new SAP connector will go into the next version 4.0 of the Pentaho Data Integration Community Edition as a plugin. It allows Pentaho's software for business intelligence (BI) to call up SAP's Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI). A user can thereby integrate the BAPI into Pentahos' extract-transform-load (ETL) process to get to the SAP data. ETL is a method to transform extracted data of various formats to fit operational needs on a target database or data warehouse. On the SAP side, explains Aschauer EDV GmbH, the user integrates the SAP Java Connector (SAP JCo), which is available free with every SAP system installation, into Pentaho. Integration will also require a GUI for bringing in SAP functions and parameters.
The data integration components, which have recently come out in a preview to version 4.0, belong to the open source multi-module Pentaho framework. The framework includes the BI suite as well as components for data mining, reporting, analysis, and various admin and user dashboards. Pentaho is under GPL and available in cost-based and community versions (see a comparison). Aschauer provides support and further software development services, among them for Pentaho (based in Orlando FL). Aschauer's managing director Bernd Aschauer says, "We are proud to contribute to the community. It allows businesses who run SAP a larger degree of independence."

Using NICE Support for commissioning
Commissioners should ensure that they consider both the clinical and economic viability of commissioned services, and any related services, and take into account patients´and service user views when making commissioning decisions.
NICE Support for commissioning provides support for the local implementation of NICE quality standards, clinical guidelines, public health guidance and NICE technology appraisals. They do not constitute formal NICE guidance.
Each resource should therefore be used in conjunction with the relevant NICE quality standard or NICE guidance and current national guidance on commissioning.

About A. Nnoyed
Once the authorities target and access a citizens computer, they can upload illegal felonious content without the owners knowledge. Like when the cops plant an illegal substance on a person then arrest them for possession of an illegal substance. One citizen got lucky when a computer technician reported him for possessing illegal images. After the arrest a computer forensic expert determined the citizen a victim of a malware attack that allowed unauthorized third parties to use his computer as a drop box. The prosecution was short circuited because there was no way to determine who uploaded the illegal images. A judge dismissed the case.
Amazing. I would have expected the Girl Scouts to advise the MPAA to shove it as a result of this shakedown by ASCAP in 1996. How quickly they forget.
From the New York Times December 17, 1996:
"Like everyone else, Mr. Berle had read with disbelief that the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers wanted to charge the Girl Scouts -- the Girl Scouts! -- for songs around the campfire."
The entire story can be read here:

Where is the NSA when you need the NSA. Conservatives that want to implement draconian laws about restricting the uses of the internet always claims that the restrictions are about protecting the children. I don't hear the conservatives cries, that failing to continue to support correcting security issues related to Windows XP endangers the children. While Bill Gates is interested in helping the children in foreign countries, Microsoft is unwilling to protect the children using Windows XP, by failing to continue to patch XP security issues. If one goes through most newspapers archives, since Windows XP was introduced, they will find articles about organizations that refurbishes old donated computers and gives them to poor children. A family that cannot afford a computer for their children cannot afford a new operating system or have the technical skills to install the new operating system, even if the hardware will support the new operating system. Unless Microsoft forces XP users to stop using their computers, all of those unpatched computers will serve as vectors to spread viruses.
When Keurig's management mentions customer safety they are hypocritical. Keurig failed to properly test a Mr. Coffee Keurig Pod Coffee maker they licensed. As a result a recall was ordered on August 30, 2012 here:
Furthermore Keurig management failed to learn from Tassimo's experience with proprietary pods. In 2006 most stores that sold small appliances sold Tassimo coffee makers. I am now unable to find Tassimo brewers sold anywhere but on line. I was originally a Tassimo customer but replaced the Tassimo with a Keurig around 2009 because it was difficult to find Tassimo Pods and because of Tassimo's restrictions preventing me at the time, from making French Vanilla Coffee in the Tassimo Brewer. By requiring customers to use proprietary pods, Keurig management is writing there own epitaph.
It was reported that building departments here in Florida have been using satellite imaging to find property improvements where the owner did not apply for building permits or receive inspection certificates. Unfortunately there have been some homeowners accused inaccurately, of improving their property without a permit because the building departments were incompetent at record keeping. In many cases the improvement had been permitted and inspected. In one case a homeowner was accused of having a sun room (enclosed porch) on their property, observed via satellite, that the building department claimed was constructed without permits or inspections by the previous owner. The current owner was ordered to remove it, bring it up to current code or pay a $250.00 a day fine if the property did not comply within 30 days.
The building department wound up with egg on their face when the current property owner checked the document package, the previous owner gave them at closing. The current property owner found the building permit and inspection certificate for the sun room in the package. The management of the building department did not keep accurate records of the building permits and inspections. In this case the homeowner was assumed guilty until they proved themselves innocent.
It appears that the copyright parasites, by promulgating these bogus figures, are trying to establish a foundation by claiming bogus losses, to establish a fee for all broadband subscribers to be paid to them. The RIAA successfully convinced lawmakers to mandate a fee to be added to the price of high fidelity cassettes and music CDR's to compensate the record labels for bogus losses caused by home copying, even if the media in question was never used to copy copyrighted material. So the copyright parasites are looking to be paid something for nothing JUST IN CASE.
Problem solved here in Florida. Authorities will send the ticket to the owner. We have traffic signal cameras all over Central Florida. If a vehicle runs a red light the owner receives the citation even if they were not driving the vehicle. In one case an vehicle owner was ticked while the vehicle was in the possession of the dealer servicing the vehicle. The vehicle was driven by a mechanic taking it out for a test drive. Then came the BS when the dealer tried to weasel out of the fine. It turns out that the work order had a time stamp and the time stamp proved who had control of the vehicle. Dam the Constitution full speed ahead.
I wonder if Amazon Management is changing policies to bleed more money out of customers. I am a prime member which means that I am entitled to free two day shipping on any item sold directly by Amazon.com when I purchased my membership.
Two days ago I attempted to order some low cost merchandise from Amazon (under $10.00). Each item had a flag beside it "ADD ON ITEM". When I added the item to the cart it did not give me an opportunity to go to check out. When I clicked on the ADD ON ITEM flag, a text box appeared indicating that the items were add on items and would include free shipping if I purchase merchandise that costs $25.00 or more. I was not given a way to pay for shipping in order to obtain the merchandise without purchasing other merchandise for $25.00 or more. When I purchased my prime membership one of the features of the membership was free shipping even if the cost of the merchandise was less than $25.00.
It took me several minutes to find a way to contact Amazon. The customer service representative had to manually enter my order in order to enter it into their system.
I wonder if the scheme effecting customers moving to Canada, preventing customers from taking books that they purchased to Canada, is another method to squeeze more money out of the customer. The reason I like hard copy books is that the publisher cannot dictate where I can read the book and when traveling, an airline stewardess cannot force me to put my book away during takeoff and landing.
A reinvention of an old scheme. The Welcome Wagon did most of this manually. The Welcome Wagons local office collected lists of new residents, renters or homeowners, in their area from the Telephone Company or other Utility Companies and sent representatives to spy on them. The Welcome Wagons representative would knock on the residents door and offer them a gift usually a basket of fruit. Once they entered the residents home they would grill the resident to learn as much as possible about them. The conversation appeared to be small talk but was actually a script designed to squeeze as much information out of the resident possible. Welcome Wagon then sold these reports to those that subscribed to Welcome Wagon Reports.
Verizon's technology can be applied to any Set Top Box, it does not have to be a DVR. If you think you can place tape over the camera lens to block their snooping, all they have to do is make the camera the remote control receiver.
I live 25 Miles from Sanford Florida and am very concerned that the Trayvon Martin case may eventually lead to rioting if George Zimmerman is found not guilty. I have tried to start a dialog in the Trayvon Martin section of Huffington Post to defuse the anger. Any comments about the case are either not shown or immediately deleted after being posted. Several of my comments have been Faved only to be deleted. All that is posted is the columns are incendiary language between the pro Trayvon Martin faction and the pro George Zimmerman faction. The first thing that must be done is to discredit the people who are instigating the incendiary rhetoric. The Huffington Post seems to be trying to keep the anger alive rather than quelling it. Any criticism of the race baiters and haters agitating their base is deleted.
This is nothing new. I still remember that during the Olympic games in Atlanta in 1986 the Olympic committee sued a restaurant named the Olympic something to force them to change their name. The restaurant had been in business for I believe longer than the one in Philadelphia and the name was registered by owner as a trademark. The problem was that like the victims of copyright trolls the restaurant owner could not afford the cost to defend the good name of his restaurant. The restaurant owner should have sued the Olympic Committee and demanded that they change their name. Remember the financially strong can always beat up the financially weak.
I fully agree that smart TV's are not so smart. Years ago, when consumers purchase their DirectTV and Dish Network Receivers, Sony manufactured a large screen projection TV with built in Direct TV receiver.
In mid 2005 I was looking for a home in Central Florida. I always asked the homeowner the availability of Cable TV and Broadband and how they received pay TV. I noticed that one homeowner had one of those Projection TV's with a built in Direct TV Receiver and a Direct TV receiver on the top of the set. I asked why the DirectTV receiver on the top of the set. He stated that he used the receiver in the set for a while but the receiver in the set would not work with the new Multi-Satellite DirectTV system, so he had to use an external receiver. Therefore Smart TV not so smart!
Megaupload: If the MPAA Government Puppets read the BetaMax decision by the Supreme Court they might have gotten it through their corrupt skulls that Megaupload conformed to that precedent. Just like the VCR, Megaupload had both infringing and non infringing uses. The Supreme Court found in favor of Sony because of the non infringing uses. Why doesn't the same law apply to Megaupload?
Silicon Valley: Since the BetaMax decision the RIAA and MPAA cartel has developed psychotic delusions that everyone is stealing their stuff. Each time new technology is developed the cartel requires that more draconian copyright protection be applied to the new technology. Compare the copyright protection applied to DVD's and Blue Ray DVD's. Silicon Valley has been a victim of this psychosis. Hardware developers fear that the copyright cartel will withdraw content for their hardware. The cartel trashed Sony, by refusing to release new movies in Beta format until long after they were released in VHS format. Consumers stopped buying BetaMax VCR'a and started buying VHS VCR's.
Remember when the DVD was developed. The Copyright Mafia refused to release any content until copyright protection was developed for the DVD. In reality even though the movie studios state in their advertisements of a movie "Own It Today" in reality the purchase price is a one time right to use fee and consumers do not really own the content the movie studio retains ownership. Then of course there was the prosecution of that kid in Sweden, under the DCMA, for creating the DVD copyright protection decode and publishing it.

Victini's cute looks have been the source of deception for many players, unaware of its true potential outside its competitively worthless title of 'Legendary'. Indeed, 100 base stats across the board are still solid, but by no means impressive in the current generation of Pokemon. Even in UU, the threat of entry hazards, Pursuit, and the ever-common Sucker Punch serve to make its lifespan remarkably short for all of its bulk. Without Rapid Spin support, it is hard for Victini to function at all.
However, if you're looking for a reason to acknowledge this creature as a threat, halt the search at V-create. Victini's signature move happens to be one of the strongest attacks in existence. Although a handful of Pokemon can safely withstand the attack, Victini's supplementary movepool serves it well against even these. Powerful attacks such as Focus Blast, Thunder, and Blue Flare profit from the accuracy boost of Victory Star, and STAB Psychic 2HKOs some of its robust enemies, including Kingdra and Arcanine.
It wouldn't be a stretch to say that, in many cases, Victini is a threat even before the battle begins. Alongside Darmanitan and Chandelure, it is one of the main incentives to pack an especially sturdy Fire-type resist on your team, and it can use U-turn to weaken its checks before launching V-create with reckless abandon. As it stands, Victini is a powerful wallbreaker that eliminates many key contenders in the UU metagame. Don't be surprised to find the words 'not very effective' scroll uselessly onto the screen as one of its checks is reduced to ashes.
With overall average stats and no appropriate boosting moves, it is well established that Victini is not designed to sweep; however, one thing it does well that no other UU Pokemon can do is deliver crushing blows with V-create. V-create's colossal Base Power of 180 makes it the strongest Fire-type attack in Pokemon and one of the defining traits that make Victini the monster it is. As an example of its destructive power, a Choice Band-boosted V-create soundly 3HKOes standard Rhyperior, one of the most physically bulky Pokemon in the tier, and even Kingdra, whose natural bulk and handy double resistance to Fire-type attacks ensures it can take a V-create better than most. You might even be wondering at this point what keeps Victini from asserting its dominance with exclusive access to such an incredible move and the stats to back it up. The answer becomes readily apparent after its first use: Victini's defenses and Speed lower by one stage each time after use. This makes it easier to force out after a KO, and exacerbates its Pursuit weakness for Krookodile, Weavile, and Snorlax to readily exploit.
As recklessly as Victini plays, it does have at least one safe option to open the game with in U-turn. U-turn allows Victini to attack without risk in the presence of its checks, some of which are immune to V-create and can use a Flash Fire boost to threaten the team. A Jolly nature helps Victini stand toe-to-toe with Shaymin and Zapdos, while maintaining the advantage over Darmanitan and Roserade. Outside of Speed, the only other real reason not to choose an Adamant nature is mercy; Adamant Victini makes even physically defensive Milotic cry, soundly 2HKOing it with V-create after Stealth Rock damage. Even Slowbro and Suicune are reduced to prey, as the increased damage allows Victini to 2HKO with Bolt Strike. An Adamant nature also makes it slower than Gligar after a Speed drop, unfortunately, so the support of another teammate is recommended to rectify this flaw. Calm Mind users such as Suicune, Cresselia, and Bronzong can easily set up on Gligar.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
If you've ever thought to yourself, "Damn, I wish Victini's best move didn't lower its Speed," then you were probably looking for this set. Choice Scarf is another effective item for Victini, putting to use its power and scouting ability for checking sweepers rather than breaking walls. The ability to ram through Milotic and Rhyperior with resisted hits will be missed, but in spite of that, its resume improves with a list of foes it dared not cross previously, such as Mienshao, Cobalion, and Mismagius. Even Raikou and Azelf, two of the tier's most dangerous sweepers, live in fear of not knowing Victini's item right away, as it could spell the difference between an easy sweep and the fiery cinders of defeat.
There are some drawbacks to using this set, however; without a Choice Band, defensive checks have an easier time switching into Victini, and the Speed loss from V-create makes it even worse for maintaining momentum. Substitute users can also exploit this weakness by forcing Victini to V-create until it is slower, and move in for the kill under the safety of their Substitute. Flare Blitz helps remedy these issues by ensuring Victini will always have the speed to check what it needs to, and allowing it to pull off some timely end-game sweeps without having to use V-create. Zen Headbutt is Victini's only chance at damaging Kingdra and Flygon, two very important targets in UU.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Victini feigns its ability to be a brilliant special attacker through sheer coverage and the threat of a seemingly inevitable V-create. The gist of this set is to cause major damage by fooling the opponent, as most players would not think to switch their special wall into Victini until their Rhyperior meets a Blue Flare or Psychic. For this set, the primary STAB can be either Blue Flare or V-create, depending on whether or not you want to play the mixed attacker angle. With some prediction and entry hazard support, most special walls switching in are annihilated by two consecutive Focus Blasts, including Porygon2, Umbreon, and Clefable, but V-create allows Victini to defeat those checks with even less prior damage and no prediction. Its downfall, however, is that the stat drops make it harder to maintain pressure against an offensive team. In most cases, Psychic is a safe attack to open up with, as it can catch some of Victini's checks off guard, such as Chandelure and Blastoise, and 2HKO them. Last, but not least, Grass Knot terrorizes Swampert and Rhyperior switch-ins, and makes the opponent think twice before switching their Suicune, Milotic, or Slowbro in.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Yes, I agree that Victini has no need for "Other Options" with its signature move being as ridiculous as it is, but Quality Control is making me do this. Shadow Ball is useful almost exclusively for killing Chandelure, but since it's such a major threat in UU, it might find a way home on your own custom special attacker set. Flame Charge seems cool on Victini, but it's a much cooler idea for Pokemon with higher offensive stats that can feasibly sweep a team after the Speed boost. Final Gambit is Victini's substitute for Explosion; use it with 252 HP EVs (or preferably, not at all) to waste any non-Ghost-type under 404 HP attempting to switch-in. It will cost you your Victini, though. Finally, there's Trick Room. It is not recommended, but if you are so inclined, you should keep in mind that Victini is faster than most walls even at its lowest possible speed, and it will still have to muscle its way through sturdy defensive checks before attempting to sweep.
Checks and Counters
Victini's power and versatility do not lend themselves to full counters, but it does have many safe checks. Physical attacking sets are walled consummately by Rhyperior, defensive Arcanine, and defensive Swampert; three very common Pokemon in UU. Defensive Water-types, such as Suicune and Slowbro, can easily halt Victini's path to victory, provided it only uses its STAB attacks as Bolt Strike is a 2HKO on both with Stealth Rock on the field, even with Choice Scarf. Chandelure can steal momentum from Victini like no other by discouraging the use of V-create, lest its Flash Fire-boosted attacks pulverize Victini's teammates. Houndoom's STAB Pursuit and Sucker Punch can take Victini out of the match quickly, although it has a tough time switching into anything but Victini's STABs. Despite not taking its STAB attacks well, Flygon is another very common check to Victini; it can take at least one of each of its moves and retaliate with Earthquake. Weavile, Snorlax, and Krookodile take advantage of V-create's Defense drops with Pursuit, effectively trapping Victini once enough prior damage has been dealt.
V-create also makes checking Victini a hell of a lot easier. Once its trump card is played, Victini sits at a harmless 218 Speed (327 with Choice Scarf) with lower defenses; enough for any sweeper in UU to take advantage of. Quite possibly the greatest punishment for a thoughtless V-create is the use of Substitute Dragon Dance Kingdra. Under the safety of its Substitute, Kingdra can set up and ram through almost anything not named Empoleon.

I can't say how often I've heard ordinary Americans defend Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and their popular TLC television show, 19 Kids and Counting. "I wouldn't choose to have nineteen kids," they say, "but if they can manage it, who am I to question their choice?" "The kids look happy and healthy," they say, "look how polite and well mannered they are." I hear these comments and I just have to sigh.
First of all, I want to pout out that I would have concerns about the Duggars even if they were your ordinary family plus seventeen extra children. For one thing, there is no way any two parents can give nineteen children the individual attention and time they need. It's just not feasibly possible. The Duggars like to say that "love multiplies," but the thing is, time doesn't. And then, of course, there is the population issue.
But it's not these things I'm going to discuss here. The fact is, the Duggars aren't just your ordinary family plus seventeen extra children. There is a great deal of editing that goes into making TV, and one thing that gets edited out are the Duggars' religious beliefs and their beliefs about child rearing. There is much, much more going on here than you see on TV.
I know this because I grew up in a family very much like the Duggars. We had a third fewer kids and we didn't have a TV show, but otherwise it was about the same. Our beliefs were nearly identical to theirs, as was our way of living. When I look at the older Duggar girls, I see myself. I was them. With that in mind, I'm going to take a moment to outline nine specific concerns I have about the Duggars.
1. Isolation and Indoctrination
The Duggar childern are homeschooled in part in order to shelter them from bad influences, i.e. from other kids and teachers who hold different beliefs or live different sorts of lives. The Duggar kids don't have friends who aren't pre-approved by their parents. In fact, the Duggar kids aren't even involved in church activities – their family participates in a "home church" where they and several other like-minded families get together on Sunday mornings and worship together.
Furthermore, even the older Duggar children are not allowed to go anywhere without having an "accountability partner," i.e. another sibling, to keep tabs on them. When one of the older boys volunteered at the local fire department, one of his sisters always went with him to keep an eye on him and make sure he didn't get in trouble.
Another reason the Duggar children are homeschooled is in order to teach them "God's truth." This means that they use religious textbooks, creationist science curriculum, etc. I understand that we have this thing called "freedom of religion" in our country, but I also believe that children have a right to an education, and teaching children one side of everything becomes indoctrination rather than education.
Not surprisingly, the Duggars' computers have internet access limited to about seventy "approved" websites. To get unlimited internet access, the children – even the older ones – have to get a password from their mother and then have another sibling sitting by them watching the screen as they surf the web to make sure they stay out of trouble. The main reason for this is likely to keep the children from viewing internet pornography, but it also helps ensure that they don't get subversive information or other viewpoints.
2. Children raising children
If you think Michelle is the one raising all of those kids, think again. Those older daughters, some of them already adults, are the ones who are actually doing the majority of the cooking, cleaning, and childcare. They are, in effect, raising their younger siblings.
Now I'm not saying Michelle sits back and watches soap operas while the kids work, but rather that with that many children there is simply too much for her to do on her own. She doesn't have the time or energy to raise her children without her older daughters' help. And fortunately, because the Duggars homeschool, those older daughters are available to help 24/7.
The Duggars have this thing called the "buddy system." When each new child is born, that child is assigned to one of the older children. In this way, the older children are responsible for dressing, feeding, and even educating the younger children. Michelle hadthis to say about the buddy system:
This house would not work if we didn't have the buddy system. The older children mentor the younger ones. They help them with their little phonics lessons and games during the day, help them practice their music lessons. They will play with them or help them pick out the color of their outfit that they want to wear that day, and just all of those types of things.
I'm all for siblings helping each other and playing together, but this goes way further than this. This is siblings raising each other. And as we'll see, this means a lot of sacrifice for the older siblings doing the raising. [Read more...]

While the company has yet to make it official, Daniel Bryan is expected to defend the WWE championship against Kane at Extreme Rules 2014. Since fans might view it as a lackluster match up, there are talks that management might turn it into a gimmick match, especially since that would fit in with the theme of the pay per view.
April 21, 2014
After beating Triple H, Randy Orton and Batista at Wrestlemania 30 for the heavyweight championship, a lot of fans wondered who WWE will choose to work with Bryan in his first month as champion. As of right now, it looks like management is leaning heavily towards Kane to be his first major opponent. The two are expected to work Extreme Rules 2014 together.
April 15, 2014
A video tribute for the Undertaker using his action figure. WWE features his character destroying the likes of Eddie Guerrero, Kane, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, John Cena and others.
April 14, 2014
A video from Monday Night Raw of the Shield rescuing new WWE champion Daniel Bryan from Triple H, Kane, Randy Orton and Batista. This is essentially the face turn of Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins.
April 11, 2014
In one of the more awkward moments at the hall of fame, Mr T had his induction speech cut short when WWE sent out Kane. The A-Team star took to Twitter to vent a bit about the situation, where he stated that his speech really wasn't too long at all. He reiterated that his mother told him to stand up for what he believed in and has vowed to post the remainder of his speech online somewhere.
April 10, 2014
At Wrestlemania 30, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns completely destroyed Kane, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn in a six man tag team match. The Shield captured the win over the Authority with a triple power bomb on both members of the New Age Outlaws at the same time. That led to an easy pin fall victory for the Shield at Wrestlemania.
April 6, 2014
Many were wondering how WWE was going to handle the Paul Bearer induction speech since he is no longer alive. Management opted to use multiple people instead. First, Kane gave an entertaining speech about his former manager. Then, the two sons of Paul Bearer gave a very brief speech before Undertaker came out in character and did a quick pose.
April 5, 2014
A slightly embarrassing situation took place during the Mr T induction speech during the hall of fame ceremony tonight. He spent quite a bit of time talking about his childhood and his mother as opposed to telling any wrestling related stories. WWE tried to resolve the situation by sending Kane out there to let Mr T know that he was over the time limit.
April 5, 2014
While plans are constantly being changed throughout the week, WWE currently has Kane, Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins in the opening match at Wrestlemania 30. The belief is that the audience in New Orleans should give these guys a nice pop since all six guys are fairly over.
April 5, 2014
While fans were expecting either Kane, Undertaker or even Mick Foley to be chosen as the person to induct Paul Bearer into the hall of fame at Wrestlemania 30 weekend, it now appears that WWE is going in a different direction and allowing the sons of the legendary manager to give the speech on Saturday night instead.
April 3, 2014
When the picture of the four of them together initially spread across the internet, there was not a lot of details as to why John Cena was standing in the ring united with Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. It has now been revealed that the four of them teamed up in a dark match main event at the Smackdown taping against Kane, Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan.
March 27, 2014
Since management was having trouble trying to figure out where to put everyone, a last minute decision was made to do a six man tag team match so that WWE could get Kane, Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins on the Wrestlemania 30 card. Reigns initially had a much bigger role on the pay per view.
March 25, 2014
When WWE announced their new Slam City cartoon, the characters announced were John Cena, Mark Henry, Rey Mysterio, Kane, Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio, Dolph Ziggler and Randy Orton. The company is expected to expand that with more performers. Stephanie McMahon recently revealed that the Rock will become a character soon.
March 21, 2014
In a sign that they still have a good amount of backstage power, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn have been pushing management to let them work with the Shield before WWE has Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins going their separate ways. It looks like the company will be giving them that chance at Wrestlemania 30 in the Kane story line.
March 21, 2014
While a lot of fans are under the assumption that Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins are now good guys, their face turn is actually temporary. It is only designed to get them a match against Kane and two mystery partners at Wrestlemania 30. The long term plan is for Ambrose and Rollins to remain as heels, while Reigns becomes a big face.
March 21, 2014
A trailer video for the new WWE Slam City cartoon, which features John Cena, Damien Sandow, Kane, Sheamus, Big Show, Mark Henry, Dolph Ziggler, Rey Mysterio and Randy Orton. The story is that the wrestlers are fired and are all needing to find day jobs.
March 18, 2014
In a move that signals that his professional wrestling career is coming close to an end, Kane has opened up an insurance company in Knoxville with his wife. He has told people for the longest time that he wants to retire, but it is just hard to do so because the money that he makes in WWE is a considerable amount each year.
March 14, 2014
It looks like Kane and Big Show might be sneaking on to the Wrestlemania 30 card after all. Management has been planting the seeds to have them work a filler match at the pay per view, and the events at Smackdown was the start of that. The idea for the match has been around since February, but management had other priorities to take care of first.
March 11, 2014
After Monday Night Raw went off the air last night, Big Show and John Cena stormed the ring to save Daniel Bryan from an attack by Kane and Triple H, who managed to escape to the backstage area. Randy Orton, however, was not as lucky, as he was left out there alone with the three baby faces. Each of them hit their finishing move on the WWE champion.
March 4, 2014
Since the company wants to protect the Undertaker character, the belief right now within WWE is that the top candidate to induct Paul Bearer into the hall of fame at Wrestlemania 30 is Kane. With the way Mick Foley has been bashing the product over the last couple of months, it appears that there are a few people in management who are voting against him doing the induction speech.

Sun Publishes Source Code of Darkstar Game Server
Sun published the server and client source code for the Sun Game Server (project name "Darkstar") under the GPLv2 this weekend.
Sun describes its game server as a high-performance, scalable server technology for online multiplayer games, saying that users should be able to run any kind of online game on the platform. Server side programming is simpler and is expressly targeted at smaller developers: the developer environment hides the complexity of the network technology giving programmers the ability to focus on developing games.
The developer package includes an API and software for the developer server and/or client. Clients can be implemented using MonkeyEngine or Panda3D, for example. Programming has been in J2SE only thus far; APIs for C/C++ and J2ME are planned. It is necessary to compile the code to create Java bytecode, however.
The development server in the Software Development Kit (SDK) runs on a single host, and lacks several features of the production game server (Sun Game Server, SGS), for example the ability to build server clusters. In its comment on the project website the team does not disclose when the clustering-capable version of the game server will go Open Source. Source code and a binary archive are available for downloading.
The Darkstar project is one of ten projects run by the Sun Labs research department and has been classified as "System Software" by Sun. Other fields of research include "Network Clients" with ten projects, "System Science" with four and "System Hardware" with three projects.

Pros – The job flexible schedule and friendly co-workers. Great for those who are college students that needs a part time job.
Cons – Everyone is laid back which is a double edge making task become more upon yourself while lower employees do it all.
Advice to Senior Management – Unstable management and at times are not around when scheduled. Alot of miscommunication and does not apears to be improvement anytime soon.

Said A. Goueli, Kevin Hsiao, and Bob BulleitPromega Corp., Madison, WI USA 53711
Protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation are well recognized to play an important role in many cellular processes. The enzymes catalyzing the phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of cellular proteins are pivotal to cell growth, development, differentiation, and apoptosis. Many of the protein kinases are receptors for growth factors, oncogenes, or substrates for other kinases. Similarly, protein phosphatases are not only anti-oncogenes, but they also can act to stimulate oncogenesis. Thus, the identification of such enzymes will help in understanding their function. Hence, there is a need for an assay that measures the activity of these enzymes accurately and with high sensitivity in order to screen compounds for new inhibitors of these enzymes and the development of future drugs. Here we present a novel, robust assay to measure the enzyme activity of low concentrations of several protein kinases and phosphatases with high specificity. The principle of the assay is based on the use of enzyme substrates (Rhodamine 110, bis-peptide amide) that are fluorogenic (no fluorescence) and the generation of reaction products that are fluorescent; and that the fluorescence output in the reactions are directly related to the amount of enzymes. This is because the peptide/R110 conjugate can be cleaved by a protease if it is not phosphorylated and generate a fluorescent product but cannot be cleaved if it is in the phosphorylated form. Thus upon phosphorylation, the phosphopeptide is not cleaved, resulting in a very low fluorescence, and the decrease in fluorescence output can be used as a measure of the activity of the kinase under study. The same principle is used to assay for protein phosphatases using phosphopeptide/R110 conjugate, but here the increase in fluorescence output is directly related to the activity of the phosphatase in the reaction. We were able to detect the activity of kinases and phosphatases at low nanogram level and accurately assess the IC50 values for known inhibitors. In addition, on screening of a chemical library of 640 compounds for their effect as inhibitors of kinases or phosphatases, we successfully identified the selective inhibitors for these enzymes. We will show representative data we generated with multiple kinases and phosphatases. Finally, the assay is rapid, can be completed in less than 2 hours, and can be carried out in multiwell plate formats such as 96-, 384-, and 1536-well plates. The signal-to-noise ratio is very high (40) with a Z′ of over 0.8. Finally, the assays are easily adaptable to robotic systems for drug discovery programs targeting protein kinases and protein phosphatases.

Racket (formerly PLT Scheme) is a programming language suitable for implementation tasks ranging from scripting to application development, including GUIs, Web services, etc. It includes the DrRacket programming environment, a virtual machine with a just-in-time compiler, tools for creating stand-alone executables, the Racket Web server, extensive libraries, documentation for both beginners and experts, and more. It supports the creation of new programming languages through a rich, expressive syntax system. Example languages include Typed Racket, ACL2, FrTime, and Lazy Racket.
Unifdef is useful for removing #ifdef'ed lines from a file while otherwise leaving the file alone. You specify which symbols are defined or undefined with -D and -U flags, and unifdef removes the corresponding ifdefs, and the enclosed code if appropriate. It's especially useful for removing those "#ifdef BROKEN" and "#ifdef PRIVATE" clauses from code before you release it. Unifdef acts on #if, #ifdef, #ifndef, #elif, #else, and #endif lines, and it knows only enough about C and C++ to know when one of these is inactive because it is inside a comment or a single or double quote.
CLIP is a Clipper/XBase compatible compiler with initial support other xBase dialects. It features support for international languages and character sets. It also features OOP, a multiplatform GUI based on GTK/GTKextra, all SIX/Comix features (including hypertext indexing), SQL and ODBC drivers, a C-API for third-party developers, a few wrappers for popular libraries (such as BZIP, GZIP, GD, Crypto, and Fcgi), a multitasking client and application server based on TCP/IP sockets, object data base utilities, and a functions library.
Youhp3 (Youpee's One Unlimited HTML PreProcessor) is an HTML preprocessor that allows you to embed code of any script language, as well as calling any external program to generate text files. It is specifically designed to work with HTML/XML documents, and provide traditional features, such as define, include, macro, conditional tests, and loop.
EmPy is a system for embedding Python expressions and statements in template text. It takes an EmPy source file, processes it, and produces output. This is accomplished via expansions, which are special signals to the EmPy system and are set off by a special prefix (by default the at sign, '@'). It can expand arbitrary Python expressions and statements in this way, as well as a variety of special forms. Textual data not explicitly delimited in this way is sent unaffected to the output, allowing Python to be used in effect as a markup language. Also supported are callbacks via hooks, recording and playback via diversions, and dynamic, chainable filters. The system is highly configurable via command line options and embedded commands.
distcc is a parallel build system that distributes compilation of C/C++/ObjC code across machines on a network. It can be set up in just a few minutes and makes builds up to ten times faster. It does not require machines to share a filesystem or have the same libraries or header files, and installation does not need superuser privileges.
SPYCE is a server-side language that supports simple and efficient Python-based dynamic HTML generation, otherwise called Python Server Pages. Those who like Python and are familiar with JSP, PHP, or ASP should have a look at Spyce. Its modular design makes it very flexible and extensible. It can also be used as a command-line utility for static text pre-processing or as a Web-server proxy.

KDE OBS Generator Builds KDE Packages for Various Distros
Building distro-specific packages is not one of the strengths of most developers. The KDE OBS Generator should solve this problem with the help of openSUSE Build Services.
The idea for kde-obs-generator emerged from CampKDE and FOSDEM. Since then, Novell employee Lubo Lunák has uploaded its first developer version on kde-apps.org. The program creates RPM and Debian packages for openSUSE Build Services (OBS) supported distros without having to know very much about package building. A few command line commands in kde-obs-generator will easily create packages, according to Lunák. He has tested it on Plasma, KDM and KSplash themes, simple wallpapers and, of course, KDE apps themselves. The tool should greatly simplify uploading content to the kde-apps.org site, for example.
The list of supported distros currently includes openSUSE, Fedora, Mandriva, Kubuntu and the SUSE Linux Enterprise products. Unfortunately Debian is currently excluded because "Lenny," the only supported release, does not deliver KDE 4 packages. First attempts to solve this problem are under way.
Lunák ends his blog with a request for non-SUSE users to find a better solution than the current manual installation using http://download.opensuse.org. There's always hope that OBS will provide the repositories sometime soon.

Syslog is the primary source of information about intrusion-related activity on a Unix system. Searching for known messages and patterns in syslog data is easy to do, and many tools are available for doing so. However, information and patterns that are not already "known" -- those that have not been seen or derived already, may provide even more information about attacks and intrusions. Data mining techniques can help us discover and analyze that information, but, the general lack of structure in syslog data makes it impossible to apply these techniques directly to the data.
To address the problem, we are researching methods of generating patterns from an archive of system logs which can uniquely identify syslog messages by the variant and invariant elements of the messages. Once syslog messages can be uniquely identified, data mining techniques for use in intrusion detection or forensic analysis will be far more useful.
