Trade Notebook: Smith, Howard in similar situations; Bucks available
Story Highlights
Josh Smith, Dwight Howard speak often about their situation with trade requests
Bucks C Andrew Bogut, guard Brandon Jennings could both be gone by Thursday
More: Chandler still in talks; Nicolas Batum likely to stay; Rockets set to deal
For Josh Smith and Dwight Howard, preschool pals who rose from their Atlanta upbringings to NBA stardom, the innocence of the game has long since been lost.
Basketball is a business, they have learned, a multi-billion dollar venture where there's a price to be paid for their lavish lifestyle and fame. The scrutiny is part of it now, as is the speculation. And this week, of course, it's all about the suspense.
The lifelong friends are the cream of the trade deadline crop, their talents available to any team able and willing to do a worthy deal between now and Thursday's 3 p.m. ET deadline. Howard's longstanding trade request still holds, but it remains to be seen if he actually leaves Orlando. Smith's situation in Atlanta has recently resurfaced, as he reportedly told the Hawks he would like to be moved and sources say the request is being considered.
Both players are in their eighth season with the same team, their careers defined by playoff successes but never the championship ring that they covet. They see a change of scenery as a possible solution and want the chance to grow elsewhere. Another shared experience, it seems, could be coming soon. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on Thursday that Smith requested a trade. Smith -- the All-Star snub who is averaging 17.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, two blocks and 1.5 steals for the 24-17 Hawks - didn't deny it in a chat with SI.com Sunday night.
"You know, nobody's been traded [recently], and that's very rare at the trade deadline, so they have to talk some stuff up," said Smith, who is slated to earn $12.4 million this season and $13.2 million in 2012-13. "Me personally, if I were to say something directly about getting traded, I would obviously be getting fined by the NBA, so I'm just playing.
"I think people on the outside looking in see that there might be some more growth to me somewhere in another place. I've been with this team so long. It's kind of rare, so they probably feel like maybe if they talk about it it'll get a team involved or thinking about giving me away. But as long as I'm here, I'm going to put my best foot forward and not worry about anything else other than winning basketball games with this organization and this team. ... If it happens, it happens. I'm not worried about it. No hard feelings to anybody. I'm just here. And as long as I'm here, I'm going to put my best foot forward."
While Smith and Howard speak frequently, they last met face to face over in Orlando on Feb. 9 before the Hawks downed the Magic in overtime the next night. Howard, Smith said, was conflicted about his decision.
Those in communication with the Magic's situation continue to predict that Howard won't be traded. Despite his list of trade destinations including the Nets, Lakers and Mavericks, sources close to Howard reiterated that the Nets are the only real threat via trade unless the Lakers can do some 11th-hour convincing.
But New Jersey's assets haven't been enough to get a deal done for months, meaning a trade involving more than the two teams is likely needed. Howard has told people close to him that he doesn't want to join the Lakers, while trade options aren't there for Dallas.
Should the Magic hold onto him with the hopes that he stays, Howard could still play out the final year on his contract, worth $19.5 million. He is hoping to take the most lucrative path, as he can sign a five-year deal with 7.5 percent raises with the team that has him at season's end versus signing a four-year deal with 4.5 percent raises elsewhere. That's a contract worth $109.2 million total versus $81.1 million.
"He's definitely up in the air and confused about what he wants to do," Smith said. "I think right now he wants to win basketball games, and he wants that nucleus around him.
"It is very frustrating when you want to win so bad and you want to get a certain type of DNA around you and your team and it's not happening. It gets frustrating, and you might say some things that you don't mean."
Beyond Howard's own desires, Smith said his friend is struggling with the idea that Magic fans everywhere would turn on him if he leaves.
"He's definitely conscious of what everybody else thinks," Smith said. "He's the type of player, no matter where he plays, that if he leaves that organization they're going to hate him. It's just like how [Cleveland fans] hate LeBron [James]. But at the end of the day, they'll come around to forgive him for whatever they felt like he did to betray him. But I think that he just needs to worry about, and pray on, what he can do to make himself happy and his family as well as everybody around him."
The relative silence continued on Sunday, when league executives were in far less a frenzy than normal this close to the March 15 deadline.
It has everything to do with the lockout-shortened season, as the top decision-makers aren't used to having to multi-task quite this much this time of year. College conference tournaments commanded their attention over the weekend, and the widespread sense was that business wouldn't be booming until Monday.
If it booms at all, that is.
But the big men continued to offer the most intrigue around the league, including a recent addition to the group of players known to be available in Milwaukee center Andrew Bogut. Players wearing walking boots don't typically enter these types of discussions, but it's apropos that any team considering a Bogut deal would have to do so while he's out of commission.
The seven-year veteran and former No. 1 pick fractured his left ankle on Jan. 25 and is expected to miss at least another month, this after averaging just 66 games in his first six seasons. The temptation for interested executives is simple: Talented centers are at a premium these days, and Bogut's many injuries -- while unfortunate -- have been circumstantial as opposed to chronic (a la the Trail Blazers' Greg Oden). As was first reported by the Bay Area News Group, sources told SI.com that Golden State's interest is very real.
While the Warriors are still hoping to shock the basketball world by landing Howard in a rental deal, they would love to land the Australian, who has averaged 12.7 points and 9.3 rebounds for his career. Sources confirmed that the Wizards also inquired, but the talks went nowhere. The Rockets -- who are also willing to rent Howard in its pursuit of a big-time, big man -- are not believed to be in the mix.
A source close to the Bucks said they are doubtful that now is the time to get maximum value for the injured Bogut, meaning any and all suitors will have to make a strong push to do a deal. Bogut is owed a combined $27 million for the next two seasons, and -- as was reported by ESPN.com -- Milwaukee is indeed looking to unload the contracts of either Stephen Jackson (one season remaining at $10.1 million) or Drew Gooden (three seasons remaining for a combined $20.1 million) in any Bogut trade. For all the justified talk of Bogut's career being forever affected by his many ailments, the Bucks appear ready to move past this disappointing chapter either now or perhaps this summer. Bogut's presence has led to just one winning season since he was taken first overall in 2005 -- the ill-fated 2009-10 campaign when Bogut broke his right hand, sprained his wrist and dislocated his elbow with just six games to go in the regular season and never returned. Milwaukee fell to Atlanta in seven games in the first round of the playoffs without Bogut.
Bogut isn't the Bucks' only core player who could be on his way out of town.
Sources said Milwaukee has made third-year point guard Brandon Jennings available "for the right price," as one executive who has spoken to the Bucks put it. Jennings, who was drafted 10th overall in 2009 and has been considered the team's future franchise player, irked Bucks officials with his comments to ESPN.com in early February about a possible departure.
"I'm going to keep my options open, knowing that the time is coming up,'' he wrote in an e-mail to the Web site. "I'm doing my homework on big-market teams."
The comments made little sense considering the Bucks have most of the control over Jennings' future. Even if he declined an extension offer this summer, Jennings would be a restricted free agent in the summer of 2013 so long as Milwaukee issued the qualifying offer. Jennings could be an unrestricted free agent in 2014 if he signed the qualifying offer.
While it's not known whether the Kings (14-27) have fielded calls regarding Tyreke Evans, it's safe to say the third-year player's long-term future with the team is uncertain.
The 2009-10 Rookie of the Year is no longer considered the centerpiece of the Kings' new core, with that distinction clearly belonging to second-year center DeMarcus Cousins. Evans is eligible for an extension this summer but it's looking unlikely to be offered unless he shows major improvement.
His poor outside shooting remains an issue, and Evans' role changed drastically last month when he was moved from the point guard spot to small forward. Coach Keith Smart is using him as a point forward at times, a move that was inspired both by the poor play of veteran small forward John Salmons and the surprisingly good play of rookie point guard Isaiah Thomas. But the 6-foot-6 Evans is struggling with the adjustment, in large part because he isn't used to playing off the ball so frequently or not having a significant size advantage over his counterpart. The presence of guard Marcus Thornton has changed matters, too, as he is leading the team in shots per game at 15.5 (to Evans' 15.2 and Cousins' 14.2).
Evans, who has one season remaining on his rookie contract and could be a restricted free agent next summer, simply doesn't shine like he did in his debut. And if the Kings are convinced that Evans is likely gone after next season, they might be willing to move him for someone who can help expedite this slowest of rebuilding efforts.

Ok. Before you all go sarcastic with the sneaker release and the nickname, let's all take into consideration delivery issues or actual sneaker availabilities. New Balance PH has done a decent job in bringing exclusives and Made in US/UK silhouettes, all building towards the brand's overall popularity. Inspired by UK's Three Peaks Challenge, New Balance hand crafted three pairs of the 576 for this limited edition release. Unfortunately New Balance PH only received 2 of the 3 (Ben Nevis and Snowdon, with Scafell Pike being the missing link), and is still available at select New Balance stores and retailers. The New Balance 576 UK 'Three Peaks' retails for Php 11,495.

Sustainable Development
Expanding Project Humsafar
Recognising the importance of educating truckers who play an important role in the supply chain, SABMiller India recently launched project 'Humsafar' at HBL, its award winning brewery at Sonepat. The primary focus of the programme is to spread awareness of HIV/AIDS among the truckers who are identified as a potentially vulnerable group. The programme includes the facilitation of group discussions, distribution of free awareness materials, condom demonstrations and distribution, one-on-one sessions and talk shows.
Our priorities: HIV/Aids
Working with farmers to save water
At its Rochees brewery in the water-stressed Alwar district in Rajasthan, SABMiller India has initiated a number of programmes to protect the water supply for the brewery and local farmers. The region has traditionally suffered from over-extraction and poor water management. This has resulted in a significant drop in the aquifer level which poses serious risks to both SABMiller India and the livelihoods of local communities.
Our priorities: Water
Protecting the route for returnable bottles
For many years, SABMiller India has used returnable bottles to package its products (such as those in the photo below), but were generic bottles that were shared by between brewers. In 2011, the businesses introduced patented bottles– a move that formalises the returnable bottle market, protects the condition in which these bottles are returned and also promotes its brands.

Good project
Really great. I can manage all my publications within a few simple steps. Also the output alternatives are really good. The only plug-in I need is an output manager, like I can manage the output html style, output script functions into a separate file. One major missing attribute is ISBN.
Just a short comment on version 2.9.2 I like JabRef and especially it's auto file link functions combined with the auto generation of BibTeX keys. But after I installed v. 2.9.2 the file synchronization doesn't work anymore and BibTeX keys are generated in capital letters which I can not (or maybe after searching a lot still don't know how to) change. Both a big problem if handling my old databases. Thus I'm a bit disappointed about the new version which I uninstalled and changed back to v. 2.6. where everything is working fine. I liked the new feature of finding unlinked files which is missing in 2.6 though.
The function "Seach" is poor. I think it needs to improve the way to show the searching results.
Added to my list of best free software, thanks!

OBO, Central African Republic (October 29, 2012) — In a hospital pediatric ward, three babies are recovering from malaria. Moris Mbodoli is looking after his son Anissa. "When Anissa had fever, vomiting and diarrhea, I brought him here. We have been here for three days now. He is getting better and will be able to leave today," he says.
Outside the maternity ward, a stream of mothers and children are being vaccinated.
But providing healthcare around Obo has been full of challenges.
Conflict has plagued this part of the Central African Republic for three years.
As of July 2012, continuous attacks on civilians by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) had forced over 6,700 internally displaced persons and 2,000 refugees to seek protection within a security perimeter set up around the rural town of Obo, cutting them off from already scarce basic services. Access to the secure area by road is hazardous. After one attack that left the regional health director slain, other medical staff fled the area, and services were much reduced.
With funding from the USAID Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA), UNICEF's partner Merlin, an international health charity, started supporting the local hospital in 2012.
Dr. Calvin of Merlin describes how healthcare has been restored for the people of Obo: "In January, a team of one doctor, two midwives, three nurses, a lab technician and a community health worker arrived from Merlin. Medicines and equipment arrived by road and air.
"The hospital treats around 80 patients a day now, and there are enough staff to attend to them. The staff can now carry out operations and deal with emergency cases. We are also pleased there has been a high demand for vaccination."
An ambulance and four motorbikes are now available for emergencies and outreach services. To provide the clean water and hygiene vital to running a hospital, with support from the Government of Japan, UNICEF partner Action Contre la Faim (ACF) has installed two water pumps.
Efforts to remove the security threat of the LRA are ongoing. But, the many displaced families in Obo are unable to return to their villages and will continue to rely on this hospital for healthcare.
"The progress made to improve the hospital facilities and equipment has made a huge difference to the lives of local people," says UNICEF Chief of Child Survival and Development Pierre Signe. And funds have continued to arrive. "In August," he continues, "UNICEF received more funds from OFDA to keep the hospital services operational, support and train medical staff and to ensure supplies of medicines, delivery kits and other essentials."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 18, 2013
Media contactsPVH Foundation | Erica Siemers | Senior director | 970.237.7400 | email@example.com Flood and Peterson | Chris Richmond | President | 970.266.7104
"The cancer center initiative has been a shared vision of our community and our world-class hospital," said Flood and Peterson president Chris Richmond. "We feel strongly that by supporting this project, we can help to relieve some of the tremendous burden that accompanies a cancer diagnosis, and provide a new platform for the state-of-the art cancer care that our hospital provides."
Flood and Peterson has been a longstanding partner of the Poudre Valley Hospital Foundation, contributing more than $160,000 over the past 25 years to support health care in northern Colorado.
"Flood and Peterson's generous gift to support the cancer center is helping us to make our vision for a hub of comprehensive cancer care a reality for our community," said Dr. Matt Sorensen, oncology service line medical director for UCHealth's northern region.
The $11 million two-story center center will be located on UCHealth's Harmony Campus in the city's southeastern area. Construction of the 30,000-square-foot facility is expected to be completed in 2014.
The center will adjoin the existing Cancer Center of the Rockies, one of the foremost oncology physician clinics in the region, as well as UCHealth's northern Colorado radiation oncology department, which underwent a $7.1-milllion expansion in 2011 to make room for a TrueBeam STx linear accelerator. The linear accelerator, regarded as the world's most advanced technology for treating cancer and other potentially life-threatening illnesses, delivers targeted radiation to "zap" tumors.
In the new Fort Collins-based center, already well-developed programs will better deliver patient navigation, oncology counseling and research services to patients. Patients undergoing treatment will choose to socialize with peers, have private family time or enjoy fresh air and mountain views on the second floor.
"We are grateful for this outstanding contribution from Flood and Peterson," said Kevin Unger, president and CEO of Poudre Valley Hospital. "This gift demonstrates the company's commitment to our community and will help us continue to advance the quality of cancer care in northern Colorado."
UCHealth, a partnership of Poudre Valley Health System and University of Colorado Hospital, enhances services to cancer patients by strengthening the ongoing partnership between community and academic physicians. Specifically, the affiliation will expand research access for patients, building on over a decade of partnership with University of Colorado Cancer Center, Colorado's only National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center.
To learn more about the cancer center project, visit pvhs.org/cancercenter.
University of Colorado Health employees dedicate themselves to providing patients and other customers with world-class care and service. Outside organizations recognize that, calling University of Colorado Health's hospitals some of the best in Colorado and even the best in the nation. Some of those accolades are listed below:

In Hurricane Sandy's aftermath, most of Fire Island's dunescape was flattened, leaving Villages once shielded by imposing walls of sand and vegetation naked to the elements.
The dunes on Fire Island are to its residential dwellings what Fire Island is to the South Shore of Long Island —protection from the sea. Our dunes protect structures and lives on Fire Island from violent ocean swells; Fire Island protects homes, lives, and essential infrastructure on Long Island in essentially the same way. There is little doubt that without Fire Island, the densely populated South Shore of Long Island would have been devastated by Sandy.
In the wake of hurricane Sandy, we were promised assistance without "red-tape". Yet, when as simple and vital an activity to our survival as replenishing lost dune is broached, "red-tape" is unfortunately all we see. For example, to prepare for the November 7 nor'easter it was recommended that we "backscrape" our dune line: a slow and ineffective process of moving sand displaced by the hurricane in the residential district back onto the dune. The more conventional, and far more effective, method of scraping sand directly from the beach onto the dune was prohibited.
But, in today's reality both traditional beach scraping and backscraping are woefully inadequate, as we need much more sand than either method could possibly yield. There is more than enough sand to go around, but Fire Island cannot be forgotten!!

A Washington D.C. watchdog group is attacking Aetna for "surreptitiously" spending more than $7 million to influence elections.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics has sent a letter to Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini asking him to stop using corporate funds to influence elections. The watchdog group, CREW, provides supporting material that includes an SNL Financial article, Aetna's state political contributions, a transcript of Aetna's annual shareholder meeting.
Take a look at page 25 for Bertolini's comments about transparency. Also take a look at page 31, which shows how much money it gave to two groups. The documents are here .
CREW says that last exhibit, the disclosure on page 31, is an Aetna filing with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. It shows a $3 million donation to the American Action Network Inc. and a $4 million donation to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
The American Action Network is a 501(c)(4) that describes itself as encouraging and promoting "center-right policies based on the principles of freedom, limited government, American exceptionalism, and strong national security." CREW calls the action network a "shadowy" organization that "broke both tax and campaign finance laws in its quest to influence the 2010 elections."
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has been against federal health care reform and says it is "working to reduce the burden of the new government health care law."
Bertolini responded, saying of the chamber and action network, "No funds were provided to these organizations for lobbying purposes; however, we have provided funds to these organizations for educational activities. Furthermore, amended filings clearly show the changes we made to the reports and are available to the public."
A full copy of Bertolini's letter is here.
Without question, Aetna is not the only insurance company spending money on politically active groups, and certainly many industries have big bank accounts that hand out huge sums for lobbying.
My question to blog readers: what do you think of this? Does this illustrate some loophole in how companies donate funds — as educational rather than political? Is Aetna unfairly targeted when other insurers, other businesses and other industries also spend money on lobbying, or for political ends?

Duke our oldest Basset has arthritis in his hind quarters, when he is warm he romps and gallumps but when he is cold he drags his rear legs more than walks.
Last night took a pair of old socks, cut them to size, fittied them to Duke, took a sheet strap and went over his back, suspenders for the socks, sewed some leather where he would drag, and wala no drag sores, and he has no problem wearing them.
There is a market for this, there are 'drag bags' for arthritic and paralyzed dogs where hind quarters are in a 'bag' that you got to clean out when nature calls, but now we got chaps for dogs, or momma may design a 'pant' open in all the appropiate areas. Maybe we can start a bussiness in stylish pants and drag chaps for arthritic and paralyzed dogs.
Duke has had this problem for years, winters are hard on him, but in warm weather he is fine. Yesterday he and Roscoe were rompin the yard, Duke in his wheelchair, and Roscoe bounding around him. They had a blast, this am found em both on the futon in the rec-room sleepin. Duke got up there on his own during the night, and Roscoe bounds up there all the time.
Normally Duke is a floor pad make a nest from and old blanket sleeper,allways has been, now it looks like he and Roscoe are now futon sleepers.
Also going to make a lightweight 'racing' wheelchair for Duke out of PVC, his steel one is heavy and now that he has a play buddy see him wanting to run more than saunter around the yard.

I'm pregnant with my first child, and my planning to go totally natural. I have a nurse/midwife already picked out. I'm just wondering if anyone on here had a completely natural first labor? Since I've never had kids before I have no idea what to expect but I'm willing to try it, I'm just a little scared.
First of all congrats on your pregnancy, that is so exciting! I think it's great that you have a nurse midwife all picked out and are planning on a natural birth. My best friend had both of her girls at home with the help of a midwife and Anna and her family had a wonderful experience...and has two beautiful and healthy daughters. There are many advantages in working with a mid-wife and I think that one of the greatest advantages is that the birthing experience is a holistic one! Nurses do a wonderful job of taking into account the entire baby, mom and family when planning, preparing for and during the birth (mental, physical, and spiritual health). I'm just so excited for you! Please continue to post with questions as they arise or even if you are just needing some support.
Congratulations! I am so excited for you. While I didn't have a natural childbirth, I admire those that do. I have several friends that did it and they couldn't have been happier with their choice. Good luck and let us know how it goes! When are you due?
November 21st:)
Congrats on your new baby, i tried doing a natural birth with my first but unfortunatly i did not have the help of a midwife to coach me on so i become very fustrated and couldnt stand the pain any longer. also while in labor you get really tired and thats what happen to me. i wanted to rest but couldnt because of the pain and i was extremely restless so i ended up getting the epidural. now that i am pregnant again and have a little knowledge about delivering a baby im going to try to go natural again. Good Luck! and wish me luck
congradulations! i just like to let you know i personally had all 3 of my kids natural. i didnt have any problems with anything. i am a baby when it comes to pain but when i was in labor thing prgressed really quickly so i had no time to worry. so do your best and whatever you choose remember to enjoy the outcome of all your hard work.
Well my child wasn't exactly "natural" because I did have an epidural but by the time I had her the medicine had worn off. My doctors had me quit taking it because I could not feel contractions to begin with but by the time I had her I felt everything. I can honestly say that if you are scared of pain don't be. The contractions are the worse part and all I felt was the cramping like long cramps then short ones and then you are in such a different place in your mind that you won't feel any pain. I tore 2 layers and didn't even realize it. I was in labor 17 1/2 hours after they had me stop taking it. Plus I fractured my back in 5 different places while in labor and didn't care all you want to do is see your baby. Be strong and have your baby the way you want. Back in the day everyone did it natural
Since your baby is due in November you will have plenty of time to get well prepared for your delivery. Good luck and congratulations!
I am pregnent with my first one to and nevous after seenin what my sister went though havin hers last month. i am scared.
I talked to my midwife yesterday and she told me if I can make it to 7cm then I can make it all the way. She said the pain doesn't really get worse from here, it's just a different type of pain. I'm sure You'll do great:) good luck!!
That is so good to hear! I am sure so many moms will take comfort knowing that if they can just get to 7 cm then it won't get any worse. I am due in August and would love to try to go naturally, but it hasn't worked out that way so far! I may just give it a go now that I know I just have to get to 7 cm!
when she told me that I felt better.
hooo God!!! i would like to hear that before!! i just had my baby 3 weeks ago and i planed to have it naturally, or having any madication if i needed, but i was in labor only 4 hours, the pitocin did a good job lol. i was already 3 cm and no pain when i got to the hospital to induse my labor because my baby head was very low. i only handle until 5cm with no madication and i was already crying (don't scare, others womens handle better that me), i thought it was going to be worse and i asked for the epidural. but now you tell me that if you get to 7cm you could be alright with the pain. ok, maybe the next time...lol.. good luck you can do it, if my grandmas and my mother did it 4 times completly naturally, now every women can do it.
Do you plan on taking any classes or reading some books? If you do, I'd love to know which ones were most helpful for you! I'm pregnant with my second and plan on skipping an epidural this time. You can do it! :-)
It's not as bad as u think. I just had my first baby and had it natural it was not as bad as everyone made it out to be. It was actually a touching experiences for me and I will diffidently have all my kids naturally

Samurott is one of the few Water-types that can hit hard physically and specially, making it unpredictable because each set has its own counters. It has a usable movepool on both sides, as well as Swords Dance, to limit the amount of Pokemon that can wall it, including access to moves such as Megahorn, which are rarely seen on a Pokemon of its type. Thanks to its above-average defenses, it also can take a hit or two when it needs to, even without any investment. Despite these quirks, Samurott is a bit slow and often finds itself outpaced, a problem considering it has no way to boost its Speed. The individual sets suffer from a bit of competition with other Pokemon such as Feraligatr and Slowking, which have similar options. Despite its status as an NU Pokemon, Samurott is a threat to watch out for in RU.
Samurott's great Special Attack and good coverage, backed by a decent Attack stat, makes Samurott a fearsome wallbreaker that is difficult to switch into. While its Speed isn't that great, it's enough to outspeed many of the Pokemon within the tier, including almost all walls and neutral natured base 80 Speed Pokemon such as Kabutops and Gallade. Hydro Pump is the main STAB option here as it powers through many Pokemon in the tier with ease. Grass Knot's power is inconsistent, but most of the Water-types in the tier, such as Poliwrath and Feraligatr, will be hit harder by Grass Knot than Hidden Power Grass. However, if Lanturn, which is lighter, is an annoyance, Hidden Power Grass can be used to hit it hard. If these Pokemon aren't an issue, Samurott can use Aqua Jet to revenge kill foes such as Magmortar and Moltres. Ice Beam hits Grass- and Dragon-types, both of which resist the combination of Grass and Water, for super effective damage. The final slot is used for a physical option. Megahorn hits the many Psychic-types in the tier, such as Uxie and Jynx, very hard, while also hitting Slowking harder than Grass Knot. However, if these Pokemon are not a concern, Samurott can use Superpower in order to blast through Clefable and Ferroseed, which would otherwise completely wall this set.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Usually, when you think of a Swords Dance using Water-type in RU, you think of Feraligatr or Kabutops, as the former has a better bulk while the latter gets STAB Stone Edge, and both are stronger and faster. However, Samurott has one trick up its sleeve; Megahorn. With this move, Samurott can get past Grass-types far more easily, meaning Pokemon such as Tangrowth cannot wall it—assuming it has a Life Orb, it OHKOes Tangrowth at +2. Water and Bug also gets good neutral coverage, with only a few Pokemon resisting the combination, many of which are irrelevant in RU.
Other than that, Samurott functions fairly similar to the other two Pokemon. Swords Dance allows Samurott to get a boost and obtain 598 Attack at +2. Waterfall demolishes any Pokemon that doesn't resist it, and Aqua Jet picks off faster foes. Thanks to Torrent, Samurott hits a lot harder when at low health with its Water-type moves, allowing it to destroy Pokemon that could have previously taken its hits. Megahorn, as mentioned before, is the advantage of using this set—hitting as hard as a STAB Waterfall on neutral targets, and it is a powerful move that blasts through Psychic-types and especially Grass-types.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Samurott has a few other options to consider. Samurott's physical bulk is fairly good, being equal to that of Quagsire's, and its access to moves such as Scald, Encore, and Dragon Tail are interesting, but a lack of recovery and good defensive ability results in it being outclassed most of the time by other bulky Water-types. A Choice Band allows Samurott to hit hard immediately, but its movepool isn't really enough to fit in a Choice set on the physical side; using Choice Specs results in a similar fate. Return is interesting because it creates Water + Normal coverage, which is resisted only by Ferroseed and Shedinja in RU, but Feraligatr's higher Attack stat makes this option outclassed.
Checks and Counters
To deal with Samurott you first must know what set it is running, and even from there many Pokemon must be careful if they switch into the wrong move. In general, Grass-types stand out as the best checks due to their resistance to Samurott's STAB. Ferroseed is arguably the best option to take down Samurott, as it can take all hits aside from the rare Superpower with ease and wear it down with Leech Seed or set up entry hazards. Other Grass-types need to be careful about Ice Beam and Megahorn, but faster ones such as Sceptile, Rotom-C, and Lilligant can destroy Samurott with their STAB moves and also resist Aqua Jet, making them decent checks to both variants of Samurott. Although Samurott can hit Amoonguss hard with Ice Beam, Amoonguss can use Spore to temporarily shut down Samurott or heal itself with Giga Drain.
The mixed attacker set is particularly difficult to deal with due to its great coverage, but Lanturn has an easy time dealing with it due to its resistance to Water- and Ice-type moves, its light weight reducing Grass Knot's power, and its Special Defense ensuring that even Hidden Power Grass won't be doing much. It is also not weak to any other coverage move Samurott has. Electric-types such as Manectric and Rotom cannot switch into Samurott due to their general frailty, but they can easily OHKO Samurott with Thunderbolt thanks to its relatively low Special Defense. Due to a high Special Defense, Roselia takes hits fairly easily from the mixed attacker, including Ice Beam, and it lacks a weakness to Megahorn as well. The Swords Dance set is arguably a bit easier to defeat, although a +2 Aqua Jet, possibly backed up by Torrent, ensures Electric-types cannot revenge kill it without taking tons of damage. Thanks to Intimidate and its resistance to Megahorn, Qwilfish walls this particular Samurott and can paralyze it or set up entry hazards—note that despite not being weak to anything the mixed attacker has, Hydro Pump can actually 2HKO 252/0 Qwilfish despite the resistance! Poliwrath is similar to Qwilfish, and although it cannot inflict a status on Samurott, it gets healed by its Water-type STAB and can phaze out Samurott, ridding it of its Swords Dance boosts. Finally, although Altaria is not seen often in RU, its good Defense and resistance to both Waterfall and Megahorn mean that Altaria can set up on or wall Samurott lacking Ice Beam.
Samurott gains Shell Armor through the Dream World. This prevents Samurott from getting hit by a critical hit; however, Torrent is more useful as it gives Samurott a boost to its Water-type attacks when at 1/3 health or less, and this is especially useful for Aqua Jet so Samurott can take out revenge killers easily when it has almost bitten the dust.

Open Office 3.0 – Release Candidate 1
After some stops and starts, the first release candidate for Open Office 3.0 is finally ready; after some discussions the project team decided today to go for a second try.
Release candidate 1 is already available on some mirrors and a download link is to be found on the project homepage. This test release is made available to allow a broad user base to test and evaluate the next major version of OpenOffice.org, but is not recommended for production use at this stage.
The publication brings the project another step towards completion and whereas September has been quoted as a deadline for the final release, October seems now a more likely possibility.
Project member Florian Effenberger says the download version will already have a new splashscreen, another major change is the way the software handles extensions.

A lot of techniques are developed to treat soils polluted by hydrocarbons pollutants: incineration, thermal treatment, extraction, chemical oxidation, bioremediation… Some of these techniques are very energy consuming (incineration, thermal treatment…) and often need a subsequent treatment of the generated gases or liquids. Of all the decontamination methods, bioremediation appears to be the ...

Going for 10 days, either June. Or September ...all feed back as usual always helpful
I will be flying to Vancouver the end of June this year and am trying to make plans for a tentative itinerary. I've done some research and I would really like to explore vancouver Island (tofino specifically) as well as vancouver. Is it reasonable to travel to tofino for a 7 day trip spanning between both island time as well as time in the city? I just would hate to spend that much time traveling to Tofino and be disappointed. I was also curious how Hornby Island is and if it would be worth stopping at one night on the way to Tofino?
Tentative Itinerary with comments/suggestions welcomed:
Day 1 - Fly into Vancouver YVR and take ferry to Nanaimo. Rent Car and drive to hornby Island
Day 2 - Explore Hornby Island in the morning and then drive to Tofino in the afternoon
Day 3 - Explore Tofino, possibly hot springs?
Day 4 - Explore Tofino and Long Beach in Pacific Rim Park
Day 5 - Drive to Nanaimo and take ferry back to Vancouver
Day 6 - Explore Vancouver
Day 7 - Explore Vancouver
Day 8 - Fly Home
Hello< I was wondering about the safety of the TTC subway station parking lots, especially the ones stated above. My family had been through a bad experience with a car break in (smashed window) and was wondering about if there are many car break-ins/thefts at these parking lots? Also are there security guards/police officers around these parking lots? I know people break into cars when they see something and I will try not to keep any valuables in my car and no item in plain sight.
Here are some links I've looked up

Hi there,
I will be spending 6 days in the western province, mainly to visit Gros Morne National Park. I believe 6 days will be more than enough and was wondering if there are sites worthwhile driving to or visiting outside of the park (i.e. driving north)? Any input would much be appreciated!
Hi there,
I am travelling with my boyfriend to Newfoundland in mid June for for 10 days. We will be spending 4 days in St Johns and then flying to Deer Lake to hit the western side of the provide for the last 6 days. I've called a few car rental dealers for quotes and it seems that it can get quite pricey especially if requesting for unlimited milege. They quoted me $550 for 10 days, not yet including insurance. I was wondering if any one out there knows of a budget car rental dealer and whether unlimited milege is even required given that I will be flying from the eastern side of the province into the western side. Any advice/feedback would much be appreciated.
Thanks so much!
Am looking to take city bus from Scotia Square Terminal to Lord Nelson Hotel in near future. How would I go about it? And thanks.
Looking to do a half season from around New Years to the end of March. Anyone know the typical availability of mid-term accommodation during the peak time of the year? Won't have a car so walking/bussing is necessary. Would love to be in village but if it is significant savings to be a little further out that's okay. How much will a room in a 3-BR typically run me? What about a 1-BR? Or is this very hard to do?
Price range is $800-$1300
Where is the Cruise Terminal in Vancouver?
Going for 10 days either June or September when is better. Going to rent from vrbo.. Is car needed...best things to do and see..... Looking for some help.... We are experienced travelers....love to go to out towns and places.
I'm celebrating the big 60 - so I want to make this day special towards the end of June
Planned itinerary: Hotel is in Patricia Ave Jasper
Early trip on Parkfields Iceway - first trip out! continue to Maligine Canyon - Google puts this round trip as 56 minutes - then approx. 2 hours for Parkfields Iceway
Then head in the opposite direction to Moose Lake, Berg Lake - OK I accept we have to come back into Jasper first as Moose Lake is in exactly the opposite direction. Google maps puts this at 54 minute drive
We tend to leave the hotel at about 8am, arrive back by 8pm having eaten and head straight to bed - case of seeing as much as we can - we adjust itineraries on the day as some places are too far. I might be 60 but I'm super charged and have been know to wear my sons out with our previous sightseeing!!
Evening meal: yes I want something nice but restaurant prices seem horribly expensive - could possibly take in lunch instead - thinking of Downstream Restaurant or Jasper Brewing Company - both seem to have reasonably priced food with a fairly decent selection. We can't afford to go too much upmarket as we're on a budget.
Plan to do Lake Louise Lake Bow and others from Canmore
Hoping someone can make my big 60 special! Thanks
Is it possible for a non-lodge, Anglophone South teacher to rent a Gut-A-Moose cabin for a weekend during the off-season? If so, who would I contact, and how?
We are a family of four (boy 19 and girl 14) and will be flying from Calgary to Vancouver for a week only and would like to visit Vancouver, Seattle and Whistler. How many days in Seattle would you recommend? what about Whistler, over night stay or two nights? I was not sure if we should go straight to Seattle from Vancouver on day we arrive from Calgary. This will be our first Vancouver visit. Three years ago, we drove from Calgary to Victoria, so we want to avoid Victoria this time. Any recommendations for sightseeing in Vancouver that we can do in three or four days?
Our summer/fall is open. What's the best time for wildflowers in Canadian Rockies and best time for clear skies? I realize the latter is very unpredictable!
Do I need to reserve a car in advance or are the deals better if I wait until I arrive?
Given that there are 3 hot springs within the par - Banff Hot springs, Radium & Miette which is the best - we could do either of them - more interested in the scenic views. We will be there 22 June until 1st July - will it be warm enough outside in a swimsuit?
Any other addition advice for a newbie visiting Canada for the first time much appreciated. Driving from Canmore through to Jasper on the Canadian Trans high way and looking forward to it. Trying to sort out fuel stations en route - any recommendations please?
Many thanks
Pomerol, where do I pick up "Bus 14" in Scotia Square? Will be dropped off there by Metro X bus from airport. Thanks.
Do you just need to submit verification of full time student status at the beginning of the season when you buy the student season pass? Or do you have to periodically prove student status?

CENTERBURG Have you ever wondered why Knox County is shaped ... funny? Did Centerburg have anything to do with it? Did you know Centerburg was once considered for the capital of Ohio? Was Rich Hill rich?
On Sunday, Feb. 12, at 2 p.m., learn the answers to these along with many other fascinating stories of early life and politics in the town and surrounding area including Hilliar, Liberty and Milford townships with local history expert Gloria Parsisson. Centerburg Joint Recreation District is sponsoring the program, which will take place in the Centerburg Town Hall located above the library at 49 E. Main St.
Gloria Parsisson is an amazing treasury of local lore and history, said Gary Moore, program director for the CJRD. As a sixth-generation local descendant, her interest began with family stories and grew through extensive research on local history. Gloria not only has incredible knowledge on the early days of Centerburg and surrounding area including Hilliar, Liberty and Milford townships, she also has one of the most comprehensive collections of early area photographs including buildings and businesses which will be on display along with handouts and items to view and discuss after the program while The Heart of Ohio Womens Club provides light refreshments.
This would be a good time to bring your questions, artifacts and share your stories, said Parsisson, and also to learn about local geology, early inhabitants, and our relationship to the new country, when townships were formed and how Knox County came to be a boot shape in 1848. Gloria has participated is several CJRD programs including our Winter Hike Series and is a fabulous resource person, said CJRD Administrator Dave Beck. Her participation and historical knowledge adds considerable interest for our program participants.
The Centerburg Joint Recreation District was created to provide Centerburg area residents greater recreation opportunity and variety. The mission of the CJRD is to physically and financially assist in the enhancement of recreational facilities and programs, and also to expand and develop additional recreational facilities and programs in the Centerburg School District. For more information contact Beck at 625-5123, or check www.cjrd.org.

Defining experiences, at home and abroad
In August 2012, Luis Lopez, '09, received an email asking if he was interested in applying to be a fellow with the Obama campaign and within a few short weeks, he was working long hours to propel the President's reelection efforts.
By September 8, the Obama campaign promoted him to one of five Deputy Regional Field Directors for Region 5. This region includes Pasadena, Calif. and the surrounding areas all the way down to San Diego. Lopez was one of two directors working out of Pasadena. Lopez had always wanted to work on a political campaign, but never took the opportunity until after he graduated with his master's degree.
Raised in Los Angeles, Calf., Lopez was recruited to Whitworth by his high school friend Alyson Tucker,'07. Lopez graduated from Whitworth with a degree in political science. He was involved in ASWU, the Whitworthian, the Natsihi, theatre, radio, and providing campus tours to prospective students. Lopez is also very thankful to have had the opportunity to study abroad in England, Scotland, and China during his four years at Whitworth and notes professors Dale Soden, Julia Stronks, John Yoder, and Patrick Van Inwegen all as being influential during his undergraduate days.
In July 2011, Lopez began his studies at Syracuse University's television, radio, and film master's program. As part of his program, Lopez was required to have an internship, so after graduation from Syracuse in June 2012, he traveled across the world to Mumbai, India.
"All of my classmates looked at internships either in L.A. or somewhere on the East Coast. I wanted a unique experience, so I sought out programs that took place abroad," Lopez says. "Once I found out about the India internship program, I knew I had to take the opportunity."
Lopez' internship in India was a particular highlight. As an intern in the television industry, Lopez worked on a show called Coke Studio @MTV and transcribed episodes of a makeover show to help translate the show into other languages. Lopez notes that "the most beneficial aspect of the internship was observing and seeing how an Indian television show operated."
Upon returning to the United States in July, he hunted for a job until he received a position with the Obama campaign. As a fellow with the campaign, Lopez had certain goals to meet each week like meeting a quota of hours making phone calls. Then, as the Deputy Regional Field Director, he primarily trained others on the campaign and contacted locals in the Pasadena area to ask them to volunteer.
"The most rewarding aspect of the job was working with the volunteers that would come into our office," Lopez says. "It just blew me away to see people so dedicated to a cause!"
Other high points of the job included meeting a number of celebrities and being introduced to senior advisor to the president, Valerie Jarrett. Lopez was also present at a fundraiser in Los Angeles where there were appearances by President Obama himself, Stevie Wonder, Bon Jovi, Jennifer Hudson, and Earth, Wind, and Fire, among other celebrities.
On the other end of the spectrum, working an average of 12 hours each day, seven days per week, was simply exhausting for Lopez and others on the campaign. It was the first time that he had a job that demanded so much time. Now that the election is over, Lopez is glad that the long hours of making phone calls are over. "We did what we set out to do," he says, "which was to re-elect the President."
Lopez is not sure what is next for him, but hopes to go back to school soon to earn his PhD and then teach at the college level.

Three reasons why Bradley's move to Toronto FC makes sense
A full day after the stunning news first broke that Michael Bradley is apparently headed back to Major League Soccer, the biggest, most obvious question remains.
Why on earth would Bradley, the decorated midfield general for AS Roma and the U.S. national team, leave Europe at age 26 and return to North America -- with hapless Toronto FC, no less?
If/when the deal becomes official -- and it doesn't appear to be an if at this point -- and Bradley is introduced in Canada's largest city holding up a red TFC shirt, it will surely be the first question he's asked.
Until then, on the surface at least, the transfer is a head-scratcher for a player who has always spoken openly about his ambition to play at the highest level of the club game -- not least because that was exactly the track Bradley was on this season with the Giallorossi, which currently sit second in Italy's vaunted Serie A, a spot that would qualify them for the UEFA Champions League next season.
Upon closer inspection, though, there are a number of compelling reasons the move makes sense for Bradley now, even as he enters the prime of his career.
Here are a few of them:
1. Bradley needs playing time now
After starting 26 games for Roma last season -- his first with the club -- Bradley has found time on the pitch more difficult to come by this season. The early-season ankle injury he suffered while on international duty in September didn't help, and even if Bradley appeared in all but two of the games he's been available for during the current campaign, there were no guarantees his playing time would increase in the new year. Once Roma brought in Belgian defensive midfielder Radja Nainggolan, the writing was on the wall for Bradley. Shortly after, according to multiple sources, the U.S. midfielder asked out.
"The arrival of Nainggolan at Roma has also contributed to Bradley's choice," Bradley's Italian representative, Alberto Faccini, explained. "At Roma, he never felt like an important player for the team."
With the World Cup now just five months away, being a bit starter anywhere apparently wasn't a risk the Americans' most important player wanted to take.
2. The other options weren't that attractive
You can believe that if embattled Manchester United boss David Moyes had come calling with the promise of a significant role for the Reds, Bradley would have jumped at the chance.
Instead, the two English Premier League clubs he was most recently linked to -- Fulham and Sunderland -- are candidates for relegation this season. Even if one of those struggling teams was willing to pay Roma's high asking price, for Bradley it would have meant trying to break into a desperate team midseason, something he was unable to do during an unsuccessful loan to Aston Villa in early 2011. He's a better player now, of course. But there still was the very real possibility that, if his new club went down, he'd be on the hunt for a new employer again this summer. According to Faccini, Serie A clubs Verona and Bologna were also interested.
For a player who has worked in four different countries since leaving MLS as a teenager in 2006, the long-term deal offered by Toronto means stability for Bradley, who has a young family to consider. Like Clint Dempsey, who left Tottenham for the Seattle Sounders last year, Bradley is a family man, and family considerations certainly came into play here.
3. Financially, it's a no-brainer
According to reports, Bradley's net salary with Roma, after taxes, was about $1.1 million annually. Multiple MLS sources told ESPNFC.com colleague Jeff Carlisle that the deal with TFC would be worth "in the neighborhood" of $6.5 million per season.
Even taking into account Canada's higher income tax rates (compared to the U.S.), a deal like that would be a significant increase in salary. He would also get a percentage of a transfer fee that's reportedly in the $10 million-plus range. That's a significant investment from the club, especially on the heels of England striker Jermain Defoe's impending arrival from Spurs. In total, the deals for Bradley and Defoe will cost owner Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment close to $100 million, according to the Toronto Star. With former L.A. Galaxy chief Tim Leiweke at the helm, it's clear that the club is truly committed to fielding a winning team after seven playoff-less seasons, even if it's among the most expensive in MLS. Add it all up, and Bradley's shocking move back to MLS starts to make a little more sense.

Between 3/1/2014 and 11/14/2014, there are still ways to get health insurance coverage. To purchase a marketplace plan with the essential benefits outlined in ACA, you must have a qualifying event or you can purchase a short term health plan to keep yourself covered until the next open enrollment period.
During Open Enrollment, anyone can enroll and purchase health insurance as well as use a subsidy if they are eligible for one. The next Open Enrollment period for 2014 is November 15, 2014 through January 15, 2015.
If you don't have health insurance coverage in 2014, you'll have to pay a tax penalty. This fee will increase every year. Depending on your income, you may qualify for financial assistance; our form help will determine whether or not financial assistance is available.
All Government Health Insurance plans sold, on or off the health insurance exchange must offer the same essential benefits like maternity care, prescription drug coverage, and you cannot be denied coverage. Compare our health plan rates to the health insurance marketplace.
Obamacare includes private health insurance and federally-sponsored health plans; it does not create health insurance plans. You can buy health insurance outside the Government Health Insurance Exchange and in many cases, this will save you money.
Our short form will let you know if you're eligible for financial aid to help pay for your health care plan. If you are, we will match you to the right provider so you can get the most out of your subsidy.
Individual health care plans are designed for single people and can usually be tailor made to your specific insurance needs. For the best rate, you should compare private individual health insurance plans to plans from the Government Health Insurance Marketplace.
Family health care plans are great for the self-employed or when you work for a smaller company that does not provide health coverage, family health insurance offers affordable protection for you, your family. Compare our rates to the healthcare marketplace.
If you run a business and want to help your employees find health coverage, a group health insurance plan will allow you to provide health coverage for employees.
Emergency health care plans are typically well suited for young people who only require very basic health coverage and coverage in emergencies. They are usually less expensive than standard health insurance plans.
You can quickly compare rates for inexpensive ACA-approved Government Health Insurance plans & apply online. You can also compare government subsidized plans quickly and easily.
You will find out if, based on your income and household size, you are eligible for a subsidy (government financial assistance) and if that's your best option, apply the subsidy to your health premiums.
HMOs, or Health Maintenance Organizations, offer health care from a network of health care providers. HMOs tend to have respectable premiums and deductibles, but offer limited flexibility for choosing doctors and hospitals. Under an HMO plan, you need a referral from your primary care physician to see a specialist and you may have to pay 100% of cost if you see a doctor out-of-network.
PPOs, or Preferred Provider Organizations, also have affordable premiums and deductibles – however, they offer more flexibility to see any doctor you want and don't require a referral from your primary care physician to see a specialist (as is required from an HMO). Under a PPO, out-of-network costs are covered, but at a lower rate than in-network costs.
High Deductible Health Plans, tend to have lower premiums than both HMOs and PPOs, but much higher deductibles. Deductibles are the out-of-pocket expenses you have to pay before insurance starts to cover you. You can use an HSA to lessen the financial burden of covering the high deductibles. These plans generally have similar flexibility to PPO plans.
HSAs, or Health Savings Accounts, are growing in popularity for a variety of reasons. Though they may not be for everyone, if you can afford to put up the money up front, you can benefit from tax savings, and people typically save a decent chunk of money when all is said and done because they don't have to pay the expensive premiums.

Jynx is a high-risk, high-reward type of Pokémon. That Special Attack stat is awesome, Jynx's types work together well as attacks, and the few things that can handle her attacks easily can get put to sleep and get chipped away. Jynx also has enough Speed to be faster than most common Pokemon in standard GSC play. However, Jynx's biggest liability is her defenses. She simply cannot afford to take more than one hit unless it's Ice Beam or Psychic, so be careful in bringing her in and leaving her in. When using Jynx, make sure to surround her with things that can take advantage of what she has to offer. For example, something like Starmie can absorb Jynx's attacks easily, but it can be put to sleep with Lovely Kiss; once it's asleep, it's a lot easier to bring in something like Machamp, who can now Curse at least once without fear of Starmie using Psychic or Reflect.
This Jynx is a hardcore special attacker. You might want to hold off on Lovely Kiss for a bit, otherwise you might put something like Zapdos (a very common RestTalk user) to sleep when you'd have been better off just attacking it. As for her attacks, she makes the most of her typing with STAB on both Psychic and Ice Beam, and she can hit quite hard with that Special Attack; the only standard things that resist both attacks are Starmie and Forretress, but the beauty here is that you can put them to sleep and open the door for something to set up on them and sweep. Substitute will prevent Jynx from getting hit with status moves and will partially shield Jynx from physical attacks. Jynx won't be sweeping any teams with this set, but this blend of status and attacking power can be a handy tool indeed.
This is the Perish Trapping version of Jynx, and it can be almost unstoppable at times. Mean Look when they switch, and then Perish Song away. Protect keeps Jynx from getting harmed. The last move is up to you. Ice Beam capitalizes on Jynx's stellar Special Attack, and also receives STAB. This is ultra convenient because most common phazers are Flying- or Ground-types, both of which are punished by Ice Beam. Another option is Substitute, which works as another turn of guaranteed added protection (at the cost of 25% of its health) if Jynx is faster than its opponent. Since Jynx is so fragile, it's certainly an option since Protect only has a 50% chance of working the second consecutive time it is used. Note, however, that Jynx will be left without an attack, and thus have no way to directly damage anything.
The philosophy here is to Mean Look whatever switches in, and if you have an advantage, put it to sleep. Normally a special wall would wall this, but then you can flip the tables on them and use Nightmare, which takes away 25% of the victim's health as long as it is asleep. Nightmare in conjunction with Jynx's STAB Ice Beam will kill most things in 3 or so hits. This set is great to surprise threats that would otherwise wall Jynx (such as Blissey, Umbreon, Snorlax, and Tyranitar). This can be a very high-risk set, since there is no kind of protection for Jynx, who is very fragile, but the payoffs can be amazing. As with the other sets, be on the lookout for RestTalk users that Jynx can't kill with Ice Beam as well as Water-types that resist Ice Beam.
Other Options
Since Jynx is always female, and most things are male, Attract will certainly be an annoyance, and can help you fire off another attack to KO. The last two options are for Jynx's bad Defense. Physical attacks really nail Jynx hard, so an unexpected Counter will send the attacker packing. Reflect will bolster Jynx's Defense (as well as the rest of the team) for 5 turns, again giving you a chance to attack again or put something to sleep.
Checks and Counters
Snorlax and Blissey both can take Ice Beams and Psychics from Jynx all day. However, remember that these can both be put to sleep with Lovely Kiss, and both Snorlax and Blissey are at the bottom of the list of things to use as sleep sacrifices. Note, though, that some Snorlax carry Sleep Talk, and a Sleep Talking Snorlax will counter just about everything Jynx can do.
The main Dark-types--Tyranitar, Houndoom, and Umbreon--can also give Jynx problems, especially since all three often carry Pursuit. Houndoom in particular is a perfect foil, as its Speed mirrors Jynx and it resists both Ice Beam and Psychic. Tyranitar can hit hard, but it can be put to sleep and, if it doesn't carry Pursuit, Jynx can wear Tyranitar down with repeated Ice Beams on the switch in. Umbreon has high Special Defense and usually totes Pursuit, but note that its Pursuit does not break Jynx's Substitute, so if Jynx does not want to put Umbreon to sleep, it can Substitute and switch out without sustaining much damage.
Starmie, Slowbro, and Forretress all resist Ice Beam and Psychic and have their ways of disarming Jynx, be it status moves or direct attacks. Keep in mind, though, that these three usually play somewhat of a defensive anchoring role on their teams, so putting them to sleep can really put the pressure on them to stop your offense.
Finally, there are some RestTalk users that can foil Jynx, but these are usually more defensive-based. Snorlax was always mentioned, but others include Raikou and Suicune; Raikou has enough Special Defense to survive repeated hits and can hit back with Thunderbolt or Crunch, while Suicune's defenses make it basically impervious to Jynx's hits when coupled with RestTalk.
