The anti-intervention movement and violence in remote Aboriginal communities
There is no subject more inflammatory than violence against children and sexual violence, the abuse of innocence, universally sickens and abhors. The vulnerability of Aboriginal children has been central to settler imaginings of Aboriginal people. They were early and routinely said to be victims of infanticide, cannibalism, the 'terrible rite' (sub and circumcision), ceremonial disfigurement and child bride capture and later the more banal crimes of poor hygiene and inadequate discipline. These confections, all based on hearsay and speculation, became commonplace, and they drove the Protection and Assimilation administrative regimes, which did untold damage to Aborigines, 'for their own good'. Given this record, the Northern Territory Intervention and its newer incarnation Stronger Futures should be viewed with deep suspicion. These latest administrations are imposing another assimilationist regime, this one informed by the very neo-liberal economics that are presently tipping over European economies like dominos. With wearying repetition, the government wants the extensive Indigenous land holdings of the Northern territory, because a new frontier is well underway, of mineral extraction. Yet non-Indigenous Australians are faltering with this campaign. They know there is acrimonious disagreement among Aboriginal leaders on the question of the Intervention. They are reluctant to take sides, wary of the colonial strategy of divide and rule and preferring to stay with another colonial staple – that Aborigines are an undifferentiated entity rather than a diverse and contemporary people. Most discordantly they know this time the violence in remote communities is both real and fetishised. This has made it a political no-go zone. Because of the opportunising of the Howard, Rudd and Gillard Governments on the exposure of that violence and the racist identification of it as particular to Aboriginal peoples, along with people's reluctance to shame Aboriginal women and demonize Aboriginal men, it has entered the category of the unspeakable. Those who oppose the Intervention and Stronger Futures omit it and even excuse it. Recently an activist referred to the young men who broke into a campervan outside Alice Springs and gang-raped the tourists inside. She said they were trying to get home. She said 'You can see why these boys get into these things'. Actually, I can't see how stealing a vehicle to overcome a lack of transportation bears any relation to rape. The anti-intervention movement has encountered stalling and evasion from the same people who readily galvanized against Howard's anti-Wik 10 point plan and marched in droves for Reconciliation. Yet facing up to, rather than minimalising, violence against women and children in remote communities, is key to resisting the racial discrimination these latest forays into Indigenous administration have imposed. For this violence is manifestly not Aboriginal. It is everywhere endemic to our society. It is male and the perpetrators are a minority of men. Family violence is first and foremost about gender, not race, but it is more pervasive and extreme in communities where masculinity is in crisis. That crisis is identifiable, around the globe, with communities afflicted with inter-generational disadvantage, and all of the self-destructive behaviors that consistently impact on people enduring the most entrenched socio-economic alienation. Those men, consistently and manifestly, have prehistories of violent subjection, often racial, sometimes colonial. But returned soldiers and institutionalized men are also susceptible. We humans are inordinately efficient at perpetrating violence and paradoxically incapable of enduring it. But gender plays a role here to, for a minority women coping with trauma are more likely to be self-destructive, whereas a minority of men are destructive to the people around them. Violence in remote NT communities is more visible. The collusion of silence to uphold high-stake reputations, the surrounding infrastructure of services and amenities, all conspire to keep it under wraps in the rest of the country. Some have claimed Aboriginal men are customarily more violent to their women and children. Violence has spiraled in some communities because of the coupling of socio-economic disadvantage with the kind of self-destructive behaviors that 'customarily', in all human societies, go together with a crisis in masculine identity: particularly alcohol and substance abuse. It is Orwellian to identify pornography with Aboriginal men. As Rosalie Kunoth-Monks recently, patiently, explained, you won't see Aboriginal people posing in pornographic material. She drew attention to a descriptive cultural disjunct. If anything, porn, most of which has undersold the ideals of libertarianism and sunk into the myopia of misogyny, is an assimilative apparatus to gender relations that I'm afraid have charactised non-Indigenous society as far back as the First Fleet. I'm talking here about the eroticizing of the power asymmetry between men and women and men and children. There is only one solution to male violence, and it applies wholesale across all communities around the world, whenever expressions of masculine identity become, with a minority of men in that community, inextricably bound up in the abuse of power. The women in that community and the non-violent men who support them, should be supported in their demand for the removal of violent men from their homes, communities and lands, until they can guarantee they will cease to pose a danger. Ironically, the exiling of violent men was able to be enforced by the entry permit system that was disbanded under the Intervention. This removal should not be enforced as a criminal matter. These men need to rebuild their lives so they can return to where they are needed most, their homes, families and communities. Before the Intervention women in some remote communities were working together in an attempt to deal with violence. They are not passive victims waiting for whitefellas to rescue them. We need to go back and look at what was already working. We need to empower the Aunties for if they and their men are disempowered, by top-down imposed administrative regimes that humiliate and discredit them, the violence can only worsen. A version of this article first appeared as 'Some Hard Truths about the Intervention', in The Age, 2 July 2012.

Dark and twisty from start to finish, the legal thriller Damages doesn't quite deliver on its season-long promise to give bloodthirsty rivals Patty Hewes and Ellen Parsons the courtroom showdown many fans have long awaited. Which doesn't mean tonight's series finale (DirecTV's Audience Network, 9/8c) is short on fireworks between Glenn Close (a two-time Emmy winner as Patty) and Rose Byrne, who by the time the various convoluted plot strands play out, conclude "we both have plenty of blood on our hands."

He thinks he's landed the case of a lifetime when he's hired to defend a rich playboy (Ryan Phillippe) who stands accused of rape and attempted murder, and eagerly accepts his new client and the massive payoff that's sure to come with him. But Mickey soon discovers that he's become ensnared in a twisted plot where no fee in the world is high enough to pay for the deadly workload, and his only hope of survival may just lay in his own skills as a long-practiced double crosser.

Is it enough to give full compensation to the artists and copyright holders? Or, is it important to give a power to control how their works are used? This is one of the important questions to ask when you think about copyright policies.If compensation is good enough to stimulate creation, the law can take the step toward compulsory licensing system, where people can use copyrighted work without permission and pay back some royalties. This can be the system with very low transaction costs, because you can omit negotiations. Many scholars are proposing such systems. See Chapter 6 of Terry Fisher's forthcoming book, "Promise To Keep" , for example. If compensation is not good enough, we have to ask why. A person from film industry that I interviewed a while ago told me the following: "Well, in that case, we loose all control. It means that first you place the contents, that's it, with some small royalty stream that's coming from the scheme. The royalty tends would be very small. It will change approaches to creation." "It also has stifling effects on technologies. If you can get contents freely, what would be the incentive to have different distribution channels with different prices? The advantage of consumers in the US is that there are so many ways to reach movies. In compulsory licensing system, you loose all these choices." It is true that deciding the amount of royalty and dividing it among copyright holders is, in practice, very difficult. If the amount is too small, it will surely change the manner of creation. However, this problem will be solved if we can make sure the amount is high enough to recoup their costs. What about loosing diversities of distribution channels? I don't think that is true. Won't we rather see more choices and competitions under compulsory licenses? I guess they don't want to loose control and monopoly power over their works. It is often true that the financing structure is based on this monopoly power. You give companies an exclusive right to distribute in cinema, in videograms, on TV etc, and the distributors, in return, provide money for creation. The incentive for distributors to pay money is the exclusivity, because that would make their business easier. Under the compulsory licensing system, we may loose this fund raising system. The movie industry will have to find another way of creation. That sounds like a huge change. However, it is true at the same time, that there are many movies that are old and almost forgotten. There, movie industries are not making much money anyway. Maybe we can start introducing compulsory licensing system in that "outdated film" area, say those more than 3 or 5 years old? And we can experiment how the system works, and decide whether we want to expand the system or not. What do you think?
Anonymous February 28, 2004 at 10:49 am
PermalinkGlad to see the page updated first time since like two weeks ago.
Terry Fisher has been advocating the compulsory licensing system for a while, and that makes sense in the field of music, where in certain genres (e.g. hip-hop), using portion of past works is the essential part of expression. But I'm not sure what it means to use past works in the area of film or literature. Sometimes, of course, a scene from a classic film may be used in order to give a film historical, classy, or whatever atmosphere the director likes to express. But, that is hardly an indispensable part of the art of filming. I'd like it if you clarify a bit what it means to use a copyrighted work in films or any other forms of expression.
As for the wisdom of the compulsory licensing system, although I admit there may be several virtues, the very idea that the government subsidizes all the works in art and decides the value for each work seems to me very unfitting to the concept of art in a free society (unless you life in a Soviet-like communist country).

Steelers put first new piece in place with Jones
Steelers take Jarvis Jones in the first round as we make the transition from speculation to reality
Steelers take Jarvis Jones in the first round as we make the transition from speculation to reality
With just a few days left before the start of the 2013 NFL Draft, the Steelers choice doesn't seem any more obvious than it was two months ago. Steel34D is going to make one last attempt to predict the Steelers' first round pick.
ESPN Draft Analyst Mel Kiper's preseason grade given to the Steelers draft was a B. He moved that to a C after a subpar season from the team's draft class. There's plenty in place, though, to see that grade moving to an A in 2013.
ESPN Draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. has some high praise for the combination of Steelers RG David DeCastro and C Maurkice Pouncey.
Everyone makes mistakes, even people in the spotlight, but it seems that the people in the public eye get reminded of past mistakes far too often. Even long after they've matured and their transgressions are in the distant past. Will Steelers 2nd round pick, Mike Adams, ever live down his college mistakes? I guess we'll have to find out.
The Steelers have used many high round picks on offensive linemen in recent years. Hopefully, this could lead to more scoring and production from their very talented skill position players.
It isn't often that a great value and a major need intersect as perfectly as they did last night for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who selected guard David Decastro out of Stanford with the 24th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.
Mock draft for Day 2 (2nd and 3rd rounds) of the 2012 NFL Draft.

The final edition of BTSC's seven-round(!) mock draft for 2012!
According to Beaver County Times reporter Mike Bires, the Steelers draft board is "98 percent set," with a few final details underway.
The first six picks in the 2012 NFL Draft seem to be taking shape. After that, however, things get a bit more interesting.
Steelers add three 7th round picks to its bounty, giving them 10 overall selections. It's the most the Steelers have had since 2010.
BTSC investigates a few Day 3 prospects in the 2012 NFL Draft. Great players will be found in the middle rounds this year, and here are a few of them.
There is a possibility that the Steelers will lose Pro Bowl receiver Mike Wallace as a restricted free agent, and in exchange, they'll get a first round draft choice as compensation. However, it's not always an even trade. At least not right away.
The Steelers have been enormously successful with their first round draft choices in the past decade. They haven't done as well in the second round. Can we figure out why?
There are some talented players likely to be on the board in the second and even the third round in the 2012 NFL Draft. Here are a few the Steelers could be looking at.
BTSC sits down with defensive tackle prospect Delvin Johnson of Marshall University.

Hightower vs. Poe is shaping up to be the most hotly followed draft argument in recent memory for Steelers fans. Will the workouts of either of these players solidify their bid to become the next Steelers player?
It's an open forum for Steelers fans to discuss the possibility of seeing the Steelers' first round pick working out today.

On Wednesday, police recovered a big piece of evidence that may lead them to the suspect.
For days, they had been looking for a silver truck with a missing passenger mirror and damage on the right side.
Police said a truck matching that exact description was found on in Brooks on Wednesday.
The people at that home wouldn't comment other than to say the truck didn't belong to them.
So the person behind the wheel is still a mystery.
"You know, it just seems like you would know if you hit somebody. If nothing else, if I hit somebody I would stop and be numb or in awe, and I can't imagine hitting anybody and leaving," said Kathy Christy.
"He wasn't even man enough to stop, even to see if he was hurt," said Mike Christy.
Now, the parents are left hoping the driver will soon be found, even though it won't change what has already been lost.
"We just can't bring him back," said Kathy Christy.
Christy left behind two teenage sons.

A new data-transmitting pill could save the lives of firefighters by providing a warning when their vitals are showing signs of heat stress. Researchers in Australia gave the Equivital EQ02 LifeMonitor pill to 50 firefighters during a rescue training exercise and monitored their core body temperature . That information is delivered to a device on each firefighter's chest (which itself tracks skin temperature and heart / respiratory rates) and then sent to an external computer a safe distance from the blaze.
If any of those vitals were increasing at an alarming rate, the system would theoretically allow individual firefighters to be pulled out and given time to rest up — avoiding serious risks like unconsciousness and even cardiac arrest. It's an extra safeguard for brave firefighters so often fueled by adrenaline during their inherently-dangerous work, and one which offers greater accuracy over current methods that measure temperature through the ear. Research utilizing the pill is set to continue in the months ahead as experts look to see how it responds to various temperatures. Interestingly, Felix Baumgarter swallowed the LifeMonitor pill before his unforgettable supersonic free fall, giving his team on the ground a way to track his health throughout the 128,000-foot dive.

There hasnt been much Jrue Holiday hasnt shown during his breakout, All-Star caliber season. In fact, there arent too many folks around the NBA who arent aware of the Sixers point guards talent.
Everybody knows how good Jrue Holiday is, Sixers head coach Doug Collins said.
In Friday nights 108-101 comeback victory over the Toronto Raptors in overtime at the Wells Fargo Center (see Instant Replay), Holiday put his entire game on display and made his best case for an All-Star bid.
Holiday tied a career-high with 33 points on 13-for-23 shooting to go with 14 assists to lead the Sixers back from a 19-point second-half deficit. Better yet, it was Holidays layup with 1.1 seconds left in the fourth quarter to force overtime and give the Sixers their first share of the lead all game.
However, he saved the real fireworks for overtime.
In the extra frame, Holiday scored all 12 of the Sixers points, converting on a three-pointer and three foul shots as they rolled to just their second win of the season when trailing after three quarters.
Even with the hyped-up defense in the third quarter, a victory seemed far-fetched for the Sixers. Aside from the 1-22 record when trailing after three quarters going into the game, the Sixers opened up by missing their first seven shots of the night to spot the Raptors eight points right off the top. Toronto also led by 17 at the half and pushed their lead to 19 points with 10:41 left in the third quarter.
No, it didnt look good for the reeling Sixers.
Guys just got up and got aggressive, thats it, Collins said. It wasnt about schemes. I wish I could say we reinvented the wheel, but we didnt. We just played harder and competed.
Still, after losing to the last-place Hornets on Tuesday night when the Sixers were shredded by the pick-and-roll and showed little in resistance at all on defense, Collins was asked if Friday nights victory was the type that could spur the team into a winning streak.
Not so fast, Collins said.
Id like to think it could revitalize us, but I havent seen it yet, Collins said. They have to prove it.
If thats a challenge for Holiday, he might just have to pile the team on his back the way he did during overtime on Friday night.
Its a confidence booster, Holiday said of the win. Obviously, there are no excuses now. We know every night on defense we have to go out there and do what teams do to us. I feel like we did that tonight.
Holiday didnt do it all himself, though. To give the point guard the chance to hit the game-tying shots and then pile on 12 more points in overtime, Thad Young scored 14 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter. He also grabbed 14 rebounds and was the key to the Sixers defense against the pick-and-roll in the third quarter.
Tonight, it was all about defense, Holiday said.
The turning point for the Sixers came at the start of the third quarter when Holiday and Young spearheaded a defensive attack that effectively took away the Raptors offense. With Young stationed near the foul line and Holiday guarding the ball, the duo jumped ahead of the screens and forced the Raptors to start their offense from a different spot on the floor.
As a result, the Raptors went from shooting nearly 70 percent in the first half of the game to converting on just 5 of 18 field goal attempts in the third, with half the shots coming as long, contested two-pointers.
For a team that went into the game ranked 29th (out of 30) in the NBA in pick-and-roll defense, the second-half stand was a particularly poignant moment.
We just picked it up on defense and tried to be overly aggressive, Holiday said. Thats it.
Young, who often is pushed into the low post on defense, was able to exploit the defensive matchups because the Raptors did not have Andres Bargnani in Fridays game.
A lot of teams keep me out of the pick-and-roll. They dont want me in the pick-and-roll because I blow up the screens and I make guys do what they dont want to do, Young explained. We solved that problem and made it so their bigs couldnt make plays.
Collins agreed, adding that he had no particular message for the team at halftime and the third-quarter surge came about because Holiday and Young decided to take over.
I might not know much, but when Jrue and Thad play with that type of energy, were tough to beat, Collins said.
It was tough to beat that energy even when the Sixers trailed by 19 points. However, it has to be a lot to put on two guys like Holiday and Young to do all of the heavy lifting in every game until Andrew Bynum makes his debut.
Actually, says Young, if he and Holiday dont do it, who will?
Were the captains, Young said. Weve been around. Collins knows what were capable of and he knows what we can do. Sometimes it has to be that way where the lead guys come out and be consistent and play hard and the other guys have to follow.
The Sixers return to action on Monday night when the first-place San Antonio Spurs come to town.

If you answered yes to this question then you must realize finding a long-term solution to your health issues requires changing from treating symptoms to addressing the cause of your health issues.
The solution isn't another prescription medication – and you know it.
Our current health care system is broken because it is built on a flawed system of diagnosing health problems too late. It's built on trying to use prescription medications to solve every ill. All this does is create more health problems with a never-ending cycle of more drugs and more side effects – which do nothing to address what is causing your dis-ease in the first place!
What if there was a way we could take control of our health without drugs?
There is! We need to learn how to Nourish our bodies with the right foods and the right lifestyle habits. We need to get back to using the healing power of food to reduce our risk of chronic disease and stay healthy as we age. Resolving the underlying causes of this trifecta of modern living begins by looking at the GUT. So this is the place to start naturally re-building and repairing your body for true, life long health. This is what I teach you how to do. And the good news is you can re-gain your health, just as I was able to do!
Imagine waking up with out pain and feeling rested and ready for your day.
What if instead of just remembering what it felt like to have energy for an enjoyable evening on the town you actually had that kind of energy back again? What would your life be like if you woke up from a restful nights sleep, refreshed, focused and without pain?
If you're like most people you feel you really do not want to be on medications.
Once you're put on prescription meds it's the start of a never-ending cycle of more pills. You know deep down, that making some lifestyle changes and eating better (i.e. the right foods to help improve your health condition) would increase the odds you'd be able to stay off those drugs. But where to begin?
What I Do
At Nourish Holistic Nutrition I use targeted nutritional therapy (I like to call it food intervention!) to get you back on the path to health. I teach you how to avoid the tri-fecta of modern living by using the power of food and targeted nutrients to give your body what is needs so healing can begin and you stay healthy. Not all foods are good for all people and many people are eating foods that actually exacerbate their health issues! I teach you what to eat (and what not to eat) and show you how to make meal preparation simple so you can spend more time enjoying your new healthy life.
Next: Learn about who I work with: Is This You?
Certified Holistic Nutritionist in Oakland County, MI, Anne Baker helps people with declining health and chronic issues. She provides nutritional therapy and education to get rid of pain, heal the body, and help you feel revitalized.

union 18
Union18 is a design studio founded by the husband and wife team of Todd and Meg van der Kruik. Their focus is on creating sustainable art and interior products through the reuse of discarded and renewable source material. Sadly, up to 800 million square yards of carpet are added to landfills every year. They require 20,000 BTU of energy per pound to produce and will lay in waste for 50,000 years. The revolutionary design of "RAW" is a leap towards change. Each carpet remnant is carefully chosen and pieced together, allowing the varying colors and textures to find a visual rhythm of their own. In some ways they remind one of Tibetan rugs with their quiet, hand¬made elegance. No two will ever be exactly alike, as each element must be found rather than created. Through "RAW" they have found a way to sustain the longevity of that virgin material, conserving energy and protecting the environment in an innovative way.

None of these would have made my top five. First, Democrats, second, Congress, third SCOTUS, fourth goobernment bureaucrats, fifth, my fellow citizens. All these pose a real and consistent threat to liberty and pursuit of happiness. We can survive nuclear strikes for dictator countries but we can´t survive the fascist/socialist assault from those within our country that desires to protect us from the consequences of personal choice.
It looks to me like they left a few options off the list like:- Obama´s purposeful destruction of the US economy- The purposful devaluation of the US dollar- The rapid decline of US hegemony on the world stage- The encroaching statism and attendant loss of personal freedom- Etc, etc & etcI am way-more concerned about a whole host of issues than those options given the surveyee´s.
What? when did we ever start to "Fear" those five things? Everyone I know have their "Fear Focus" a lot closer to home- mainly we fear the "New Brown shirts" at so-called Home Land Security, We fear a leftist take over of our government and the destruction of our Constitutional Freedoms and we fear a destruction of our history and heritage by the leftists here at home. Our enemy is Øbama and his minions!Not some innocuous foreign mystery intrigues.
Here´s my list:#1-4 ... a populace that would vote for Obama and give us a dimocrat senate.#5 an electronic voting system with no audit trail which enables not-so close elections to go to the dimocrats without a trace of fraud.
#1-100...Anti-American liberals living and allegedly working in America.Please pardon my redundancy.
#1 The destruction of the Constitutional Republic.Everything else is secondary..........
#1....The current government
The collapse of the credit worthiness of American bonds and these the dollar.
North Korea should not be included. One attempted nuclear attack on our country should be an excuse for us to destroy their ignorant leadership forever.

Mercury's high density has been a longstanding puzzle in planetary science. Its density means that it must have a significantly higher iron abundance than Venus, Earth, Mars, or the asteroids, probably in the form of a large iron core. NASA's MESSENGER mission has challenged many of the hypothesized ways to create an iron-rich Mercury; a new hypothesis is required.
The existence of a conducting layer near the core/mantle boundary has profound implications for the operation of a dynamo in rocky exoplanets and for our ability to detect exoplanetary magnetic fields.
Detailed atmospheric models reveal that planets can be habitable much closer to their host star than previously thought, provided they have desert-like climates. This expanded definition of the habitable zone increases the number of planets that could support life by a factor of 2-3.
The number of known moons of Pluto has now reached five. What are they like, and how did they get there? Kenyon and Bromley use numerical simulations to answer these questions and determine what else New Horizons may find in 2015.
The asteroid Vesta has been scared by two giant impacts, dredging up material from deep below its surface. New simulations of the impacts allow us to trace where the material should end up and creates a conflict between theory and observation.
Some exoplanets seem to have walked directly out of the best science fiction movies. Taking these planets into example, the question of habitability seems like a joke. But what if we stopped looking at these extreme worlds and turned our eyes to their moons instead? Surely their moons are less extreme. And given that our own Jupiter hosts 67 moons, surely they're more abundant. Can such extreme planets host habitable moons? The 36-page paper written by Heller and Barnes attempts to address this question.
I've got pretty bad eyesight. If I take off my glasses and look at the flowers on my window sill, they look like a fuzzy yellow blob. But with glasses, the petals and the patterns cast on them come into focus. This is how I felt when looking at the new observations of the debris disk around AU Mic. Putting on our ALMA glasses, the fuzzy debris disk around AU Mic is sharpening into something surprisingly consistent with our own Solar System.
Can we infer the presence of multiple planets by monitoring how a star's brightness changes outside of planetary transit?
How long does planetary migration take? Crockett et al. look for the answer by searching for hot Jupiters around extremely young stars.
Astronomers recently announced the discovery of a short period Earth-mass planet in the Alpha Centauri system. Could Earth-mass planets exist in the habitable zones of binary stars?

United States Migration InternalEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
Value of Migration ResearchMountains, forests, waterways, and the gaps between them channelled migration into predictable settlement patterns. Events like gold or land rushes, and Indian treaties also affected settlement. Understanding the transportation systems available to ancestors can help genealogists better guess their place of origin. Connect the place where an ancestor settled to the nearby canals,waterways, trails, roads, and railroads to look for connections to places they may have lived previously. Migration research may help you discover:
Types of U.S. Migration RecordsActual lists of travelers are unusual. A few passenger lists are available at the New York State Archives for the Erie Canal from 1827-1829. But lists of pioneers who settled an area are sometimes available on the Internet, or in the form of county or local histories. The diaries and journals of people on the move may help you learn who they had as companions on the journey, and what their trip was like. Censuses, directories, land and property records, plat maps, tax records, and voting registers can sometimes be used to learn where new arrivals settled. Starting in 1850 federal censuses show where a person was born, and starting in 1880 where the parents were born. Church records of some denominations may indicate a former residence of a family or a place to which they were moving. The minutes of the Society of Friends (Quakers) are especially helpful, since the Monthly Meeting from which the family was moving issued a certificate of recommendation to the Monthly Meeting to which they were going. And the receiving Monthly Meeting recorded in their minutes, the location of the Monthly Meeting from which the family had come. Not all denominations were as diligent in recording this type of information, but some others had somewhat similar records.

elephants swimmingPosted by guide in Bushtops Daily Game Reports |
Reporting Date: 27/03/2012
The long rains are due in April and the hot and dry season continue to bite the maasai mara. The grass is enough but dry and water supply is adequate throughout the reserve and good for the animals. The weather affects not only the vegetation but also the animals forceing them to browse and graze close to watering point incase they need to drink or take a quick wallow. This is evident when today Ferdinand and his guest came across an elephant herd wallowing in a shallow pan. The young ones in the herd seemed to enjoy more than a lot as they repeatedly rolled on their back with their trunks raised up in the water. The guests had nice moments taking pictures of the actions at the same time watching.

Onecare ending Email
Friday, February 11, 2011 7:58 PM
Today I received an Email about onecare ending, there was a part of the message that conserned me which was this
"Your subscription has been modified and will end on April 11th 2011. Your continued use of the Windows Live OneCare services is governed by the same Subscription Terms"
because of this I was wounder if I will be charged on the 11th of April or does this just mean that once the date lands on the 11th onecare will just be gone and done with?
I should point out that I now use norton Internet security due to my previous laptop (which had onecare ) had finally given out after a good long run.

Ok, I'll be honest with you, I'm not sure this is the right place to be posting this. If it is not, I apologize. It is about battling and team building (sort of), but not for any particular metagame. If this is not the place, please direct me elsewhere (I'm new here) :/
I'm looking for the best Pokemon to unleash status effect (Poison, Burn, Paralyze, Sleep, whatever), then quickly swap out via U-turn or Volt Switch. Type and metagame do not matter to me, I just would like to know who would be most effective at using this cripple-and-run technique. Thnx. |

There are several Pokemon that could fill that niche, SimplyG. Rotom-W has access to Will-o-Wisp, Thunder Wave and Toxic as well as a STAB Volt Switch, and it also has solid bulk and a great typing, giving it multiple opportunities to switch in against Pokemon such as Tornadus-T and Heatran and start spreading status. With only a single uncommon weakness, it's very easy to fit onto a team.
Mew has access to a relaible way of inflicting every status bar freeze, and also both U-turn and Volt-Switch in its vast movepool. With Taunt, Roost and a ton of different attacking moves, it can be tailored for almost any role, and it's 100/100/100 bulk is excellent too. However, it does suffer from having a lackluster Psychic typing, which can leave it vulnerable to popular attackers. Amoongus can learn Spore, the only 100% accurate sleep move in the game, which gives it an excellent niche. It can also use Stun Spore to paralyze Ground-types, something few other viable Pokemon can boast. Though it doesn't learn U-turn or Volt-Switch, it does have Regenerator, which allows it to pull off a "hit 'n' run" style set well. It also has great defenses and a decent defensive typing, with a crucial water resistance that's oh-so-useful in the current metagame.

Okay, thanks for the help, Flygon! I would have never thought about something like Amoongus or Rotom-W as a possibility (although maybe that's why he's so popular). I'll have to try a couple combinations. Thanks again.

I'd like to ask a question regarding Toxic Boost, Jolly Zangoose.
On the Smogon main site, the Zangoose analysis I see says to use Night Slash in the moveset. Seeing how this is an Egg move for Zangoose and female DW Zangoose is sort of rare, wouldn't Shadow Claw suffice? I've read other analyses and seen that usually there is an alternate choice followed by a slash (for example, Houndoom's first analysis has Fire Blast/Overheat). Despite the huge similarities between Night Slash and Shadow Claw, it doesn't specify this as an alternate option. Does Night Slash have a blaring advantage over Shadow Claw? If I were to use Shadow Claw instead, would it matter a whole lot? Some extra information if it mattered, I don't play a certain metagame level. The NU forum didn't have a "Simple Question, Simple Answer" thread so that's why I'm asking this here. |

To add to what Shining Kestrel said, Night Slash is technically superior but since Zangoose can hit Normal-typed Pokemon with Close Combat, Shadow Claw is a perfectly fine alternative. The reason it isn't mentioned on the analysis is the fact that the Smogon analyses are primarily geared towards simulator play, where practicality isn't a consideration. To slash in every not-quite-as-good option would unnecessarily clutter the analyses, which is the opposite if the professional look smogon strives for.
This isn't specifically related to your question, but if you feel like a SQSA thread would be a good addition to the NU subforum, feel free to suggest it to the NU staff on IRC. I'm aware the UU thread was spawned un part due to my own suggestion, so there's a decent chance they'll take your suggestion into account provided it's reasonsble and you put it forward in a sensible fashion.

Is there an active list of what move-combinations are illegal, and what justification behind their being illegal out there? I ask because assembling pokemon that aren't illegal somehow is a pain in the butt when you don't know what's allowed or not, and there's really no point in setting up a team without this knowledge that *should* be easy to find, but has thus far eluded me. Thanks in advance.

Why do people prefer Quagsire over Swampert for a bulky water? Swampert is bulkier in every way. Is it because Quagsire has Water Absorb and Recover or am I missing something here?

Quagsire has Unaware, Stockpile, Recover, and Water Absorb. So yes Swampert has better stats but Quagsire has much better abilities and some useful moves that swampert doesn't get. Also Quagsire is still quite bulky considering both of these Pokés are taken out easily by a Grass attack but can tank a lot of neutral hits

Swampert just isn't very good anymore; not having instant healing is crippling for a tank. Unaware also needs special mention as Quagsire is by far the best user of it: if anyone wants Unaware, they're going with Quagsire, and if anyone is using Quagsire, it's because they want Unaware.
Stockpile and Water Absorb aren't significant. The former just isn't worth the moveslot in most circumstances, and when using the latter, Gastrodon is the better option with Storm Drain, having substantially better stats. |

I want a pokemón with ice beam, thunderbolt and focus blast, that got enought spA to make it work. Does anyone know a tool for that? |

Psypoke's Attack Type Analysis Tool provides a good check of type coverage with a number of attacks, while Veekun's Pokemon Search allows you to search for pokemon with just about anything in its stats, movepool, type, etc. Don't know if there's one that combines those utilities, but they should work for what you're looking for.

The site looks great, but it does not work with my 3ds, and to wait to use a computer is out of the question (almost all of my knowledge of the meta game is back when the black2/white2 games where still called pokemon gray and stuff like that, so yah). And I was trying to find out who OHKO and who 2HKO, so if someone else can post who OHKO from the site that can work too.

Ok i got a question if you are creating a thread for a metagame forum does it have to be approved? Or do you only need to get an approval for doing community projects like ccat, mini tournaments, etc. I am a little confused because projects like this http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3474251 have approvals but threads like this http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3473408 and this http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3468690 don't without them seeming to have a warning.
Could someone please explain to me what needs approvals and what doesn't or is it just safe to ask even if it is something as small as the Garchomp analysis above?

It's always a good idea to get approval from the moderators of the forum you want to post a thread in, particularly if it's a community project like the CCAT. For example in the RU forum, if you were going to make a thread that gave points to people, you'd most definitely need the approval of the moderators before doing so. However, most small discussion threads, such as the Garchomp thread, do not need approval. If you have an idea for discussion that is not explicitly covered by another thread, it's usually safe to assume that you can create a thread for it.
If you're OP is well written, and the content unique for discussion (without breaking any rules) it's safe to assume you're free to post it. Just know that your threads will always be 10x better if you discuss with a moderator beforehand on what you want to talk about and how to structure the OP. |

Team Romney has admitted that his tax returns contain explosive material. Ann Romney even used the term ammunition to describe what is in them. Most non-conservatives (and many conservatives too) recognize as George Romney suggested that failure to show your tax returns means that you my be hiding serious character issue(s). And character must be an issue for the presidency.

"Push Girls": Cocktails, guys, wheelchairs
The women of "Push Girls" may be differently abled, but their inane brunch chatter is very much the same
Topics: TV, Reality TV, Entertainment News
I don't know if you've looked at a copy of the Declaration of Independence lately, but if you have, you would have seen the following footnote affixed to the end of this sentence:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.*
*"and the right to say the word "connection" with a straight face should they ever appear on a reality television program."
Sundance Channel's "Push Girls," a simultaneously singular and standard reality TV show about four attractive, wheelchair-bound women, chronicles its subjects as they pursue all of the inalienable rights outlined in this updated Declaration, including life, liberty and a brunch-time discussion with one's girlfriends about the "spiritual connection" one has with a "family-oriented" dude who refuses to stop sleeping around.
This brunch scene comes about 10 minutes into the pilot, after we have met the four women, three of whom were paralyzed in car accidents, and one of whom had a spinal aneurysm when she was 15 years old. The outgoing and bisexual Tiphany, who has already told us how much she likes flirting and sex, tears up as she explains to the three other women, whom she has known for years, that a man named Matt, a guy with an untrimmed soul patch and an interest in seeing other women, would nonetheless like to continue to, "in his words, make love" to her.
Some variation on this scene — the bad guy, the moribund language, the tears — exists in most reality TV shows, and though I rolled my eyes to see it here, just as I do whenever it appears, I was also perversely impressed. This sort of anodyne, vaguely staged girl talk, more than any other of the far more interesting scenes in this first episode, shows just how much "Push Girls" does not want to condescend to its subjects: They may be in wheelchairs, but they do not get special treatment. Just like everyone else on reality TV, they will be allowed, on occasion, to make fools of themselves.

Last night members of the New Zealand Sri Chinmoy Centre participated in a nation vigil for Christchurch organised by the New Zealand Interfaith Group. The event was held simultaneously in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin with various faith, spiritual and interfaith communities participating through video presentation, prayer, song, meditation and reflection. The members of our Christchurch Sri Chinmoy Centre sang two songs dedicated to New Zealand and Christchurch that were written by our meditation teacher Sri Chinmoy – and recited two of his prayers. Members of the Auckland Sri Chinmoy Centre recited a selection of Sri Chinmoy's poems and sang one of his songs – all in the theme of 'hope'. They also offered a short flute recital featuring two of Sri Chinmoy's melodies.
