text: Summative assessments are assessments of student learning. They are given at a point in time to measure the students' achievement in relation to a clearly defined set of standards. These assessments are given after learning is supposed to occur. The results of these assessments have a variety of uses. They are used to report to the community the academic proficiency of students in both the community and the state. They are used to assist both school districts and the Department of Education in making decisions about the effectiveness of the curriculum used, the number of staff to hire, the goals of professional development, and budgetary needs. Students and parents use the information from these assessments to make personal decisions and set personal goals. Community members use the information for promotional and budgetary decisions. The following table provides examples of common assessments used in Iowa schools.

Are Tankless Water Heaters a Worthwhile Investment?
When it comes to heating the water in your home that will be used for the showers, sinks, and other temperature controlled running water outlets in your living space, there are a number of different product options that a consumer can choose. The traditional water heating device utilizes a large tank in which heated water can be stored, but in today's modern age, there are new water heating appliances available which do not require a tank at all.

In order to further inform homeowners and those individuals who have ever asked themselves the question, "are tankless water heaters a worthwhile investment?", some of the pros and cons of tankless water heaters will now be discussed.

There is an erotic erogenous zone that can boost arousal and even magnify orgasmic intensity. The outer edge of the ear is a C-shaped pleasure zone that responds to finger caressing, warm or cool breath, kissing, licking, sucking and delicate biting.
Don't rush, take your time and be gentle as you tease your lover by moving your tongue and lips gently around the C-spot. Just the right kind of stimulation can be so seductive, it sends erotic chills and creates sexual anticipation of what's to come.
The C-spot has infinite nerve endings and for some people it is the highest sensitivity in their bodies that can result in an "eargasm" during foreplay or while making love.

BlackBerry 10 UI and apps get some clean new screenshots
0. phoneArena posted on 17 Dec 2012, 11:39
As expected, more and more leaks are coming about BlackBerry 10 as we move closer and closer to the launch event which is scheduled for January 30th. Today not only brought the news that RIM is planning to seed pre-release BB10 devices to enterprise and government "customers" for beta testing, but now we're also getting more high-quality screenshots of the BlackBerry 10 UI, including the homescreen, notifications, BlackBerry Hub, and various apps that will be available at launch...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
23. PhenomFaz posted on 17 Dec 2012, 14:03 2
seems like a blend of ios desktop with android's internal appearance and with a few swipe gestures from WP...totally uninteresting!
28. MC1123 posted on 17 Dec 2012, 16:47 5
i dont know if you're being sarcastic or what... but that makes it very likeable!
35. PhenomFaz posted on 17 Dec 2012, 21:19 0
nah i was just being sarcastic :)
but i like your comment...guess you were caught in a fix whether to thumb me up or down :)
I wish the best for BB as more players ensures no monopoly but I am not so impressed by what I've seen so far but hey who knows...they might surprise me with the final release!
41. Mittal posted on 17 Dec 2012, 22:52 1
Yes but i am afraid that they will also overprice BB10 devices like microsoft and face a cold reception!
45. MC1123 posted on 18 Dec 2012, 06:08 0
no, i didnt put a thumb down on your comment...
36. JC557 posted on 17 Dec 2012, 21:22 0
Considering this is supposed to be a corporate device the UI looks quite professional looking and not aimed for teens and young college students.
If it's fluid and not resource heavy I can see this working very well. Hopefully RIM will bring OS updates to their OS10 phones unlike in the past where many phones don't move past their released OS version.

i dont think Melissa Mayer and the like will dump their new iPhones and Androids just to buy BB10
All that BB10 can attempt to do is salvage the remaining big clients
5. phljcnth posted on 17 Dec 2012, 11:55 4
The sreen should make up for this boring UI. Or else,
7. RaKithAPeiRiZ posted on 17 Dec 2012, 12:02 3
many will want this over windows phone however ,considering it has bbm
10. bigbmc26 posted on 17 Dec 2012, 12:08 5
Maybe, just maybe they don't like Android? Why is everything so one sided nowadays? I like BB using and don't like using Android or iOS. There is your reason someone would want this over Android...
30. nwright94 (unregistered) posted on 17 Dec 2012, 17:00 2
It's really only this website in particular where you can't like any other OS.
8. squallz506 posted on 17 Dec 2012, 12:05 1
I hope rim is holding something special aside for the release. So far all these leaks are nothing new. If this is all bb10 has to offer I should call my stockbroker and sell everything I have in rim.
9. Captain_Doug posted on 17 Dec 2012, 12:05 1
I really like the minimalistic look. It kinda looks like a holo themed gingerbread ui. Looks great though. If they can get the hardware behind this and expand their app selection they may avoid extinction like Palm.
11. Jyakotu posted on 17 Dec 2012, 12:09 2
I'm actually interested to see a BB10 phone and seeing the new OS in person. Looks to be shaping up nicely.
12. Rocksteady posted on 17 Dec 2012, 12:17 1
I feel it's taken some elements from every other OS, like the notification tray is pure Android; at the home screen, the top bar containing battery meter ,time, and signal indicators are from WP; the toggles at the notification tray (Wifi, Bluetooth, silent mode, rotation lock...etc) are again from Android.
But yet, I hope they succeed in getting into the smartphone market, the more the competition, the better.
16. pkiran1996 posted on 17 Dec 2012, 12:52 1
Agree. The dark greys and neon blue lines are elements from the Holo theme on stock Android.
13. gwuhua1984 posted on 17 Dec 2012, 12:23 2
Looks good... but I'm smelling more lawsuits from Apple...
37. JC557 posted on 17 Dec 2012, 21:24 0
To be honest there's only so much you can do for a usable graphic smartphone UI. I hope we don't see anymore BS lawsuits in the future as it gets really annoying after a while.
44. gwuhua1984 posted on 18 Dec 2012, 01:51 0
Agreed... it's just unfortunate that so much generic patents was approved.
17. theBankRobber posted on 17 Dec 2012, 13:19 4
I don't see anything wrong with keeping up with the competition, so many android kids down playing Rim just as a few years ago apple kids down played android. If you don't like Blackberry then you should stop coming into blackberry articles and posting the same crap. All I see are android users talking s**t in every Blackberry article and really we don't need trolls .
33. phil2n posted on 17 Dec 2012, 18:36 1
im not a BB hater but i saw that the messages are messy
34. Googlethis posted on 17 Dec 2012, 18:47 0
Im more curious than any thing this phone will more than likely end up in my collection if it doesn't prove it to be any more usefull than my iphone 5 and my galaxy note 2
21. SaM1X posted on 17 Dec 2012, 13:49 2
The UI looks better than iOS6. But not compared to Android. But i'll get BB10 device for sure. Good luck Rim.
22. GoldenJoe posted on 17 Dec 2012, 14:02 0
Am I mistaken, or does this look ALOT like Android?
24. mas11 posted on 17 Dec 2012, 14:08 0
the calendar app looks exactly like google's except in green
25. cripton805 posted on 17 Dec 2012, 15:31 4
If it's UI is smooth and isn't filled with bloatware trash, I might consider one of these. I'm quite fond of what the UI looks like actually. Not too flashy, but not too simple. If it looks more professional instead of a toy looking phone with bright neon colors. This would be a great alternative to a more serious professional user like Blackberry used to be. If the specs and hardware can compete with the big dogs, I will switch over in a heartbeat. Will look good walking out of the office in a suit, holding a briefcase, and a BB10 on hand.
26. rex1213 posted on 17 Dec 2012, 15:56 0
It looks like a mixture of iOS, Android, WP, and MeeGo.
But I'm definitely interested to play with a BB10 handset on a store, that's for sure!
27. tonygoz posted on 17 Dec 2012, 16:07 3
looks fantastic... competition is good...... remember when apple fan boys kept shooting androids outta the sky, u droid kids cried and sucked ur dame fingers screaming no fair, now i see ur fingers have been replaced by claws and u think u can scratch now... blackberry is loved and appreciated by loads of people who don't run down unstable robots called droids at any given chance.... its called maturity, simply stop reading the dame articles and go fix a broken robot(droid)
29. MC1123 posted on 17 Dec 2012, 16:50 3
oh again... so many negative trolls that dont want another platform to challenge android!!
as far as i know, people who are negative towards another thing are jealous or feel threaten!!
so android fans are you feeling threaten?!
32. Imaxxacre posted on 17 Dec 2012, 18:26 2
My favorite right now is Android, but I'd like this OS to take off so we can have more variety on the market and more competitive innovations. However, I have a strong feeling that this OS will not succeed.
39. Nikolas.Oliver posted on 17 Dec 2012, 21:30 1
the problem is ON YOU, not others, you are such a blind fanboy who can't accept the fact that android is on the top of the game
rim's own ceo even said : "we have a clear shot of being a #3 os"
46. MC1123 posted on 18 Dec 2012, 06:13 0
thats why this is a challenge right!?
so stop hating!!
and im not blinded... you on the other side is the blinded one! why dont you accept the fact that BB10 will be a good competitor?!
47. Nikolas.Oliver posted on 18 Dec 2012, 06:55 0
it still yet to be released, you haven't even touch bb 10 with your own hands, how do you know that bb10 will be good?

USDA chief: Rural America becoming less relevant
WASHINGTON (AP) — Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has some harsh words for rural America: It's "becoming less and less relevant," he says.
A month after an election that Democrats won even as rural parts of the country voted overwhelmingly Republican, the former Democratic governor of Iowa told farm belt leaders this past week that he's frustrated with their internecine squabbles and says they need to be more strategic in picking their political fights.
"It's time for us to have an adult conversation with folks in rural America," Vilsack said in a speech at a forum sponsored by the Farm Journal. "It's time for a different thought process here, in my view."

Billy Gibbons, Frank Beard and Dusty Hill are nearing completion on the follow-up to their 2003 album Mescalero and are gearing up for ZZ Top tour dates across th country. ZZ Top has had the same line up for over 40 years and they sound like it. Since the mid-1970s when they hit their peak, ZZ Top tickets have been pleasing concert goers who flocked in record numbers to see the band. Career-making classics like Legs, Sharp Dressed Man and Give Me All Your Lovin' off their most popular album Eliminator only sound better with age.

ZZ Top were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 and are the subject of a tribute album featuring covers by Nickelback, Kid Rock and the Foo Fighters. Billy Gibbons appears regularly on the Fox detective drama Bones and the band is working with legendary producer Rick Rubin to recreate their La Grange-era sound.

So I'm on day 16 of following a very strict paleo diet and yet I'm not losing any weight. I'm frustrated and need advice as to what I am doing wrong...here some details about myself and my diet to this point;
I'm a 31 year old female, 5'8 145lbs who is highly active, 3 x per week training with a trainer cross fit, and 3 x per week various high intensity cardio (rowing, spinning class, running and sprinting) I recently had my BMI tested with a bod pod and I was 25 percent body fat.
I have never eaten so to say poorly but have tweaked my diet substantially to go full paleo. After the first ten days of not losing weight I limited my nuts and fruit intake and I am willing to cut those fully out. I generally eat, 2 hardboiled eggs in the morning, salad with grilled chicken breast and avocado for lunch with balsamic oil dressing I make, dinner is usually fish and or some type of meat and some type of veggie, and 2-3 x per week I have some sweet potato
I drink maybe once a week but only wine.
With regards to how I feel or my clothes fit, I feel fine and my clothes fit fine...I know that the scale should not be the deciding factor but I can say I feel like I have physically looked better at my lower weight....bottom line it doesn't seem possible that I'm not losing weight with the removal of the certain foods I have taken out
My goal weight is 135 and I have been able to carry that weight on a much more unhealthy diet so I just don't get what I am doing wrong.

PHP manages freeing all resources. Users does not required to free file handle resource, database resources, memory, etc, unless programmer need to free resource during script execution.
(All resources are released after script execution)
PHP4 also have reference count feature. For example, memory for variables is shared when it assigned to other variable. If contents has been changed, PHP4 allocate new memory for it.
For example, programmer does not have to use pass by reference for large parameters for better performance with PHP4.
It would be a nice section for new PHP users, if there is "Resource Handling" section or like. Explanation about reference count feature in PHP4 would be very helpful to write better PHP4 scripts also.

Introduction: I bought this car after it was involved in an accident, it is a Y reg. So I am in a good position to comment on costs of parts and availability, quite simply they are very easy to find and cheap. It has had a MLS head gasket put on so head gasket issues should no longer occur, also I have fitted a uprated Viton inlet manifold gasket, this is a cause of HGF. It uses no coolant or oil at all and runs sweet as a nut, 40MPG can easily achieved. Insurance is cheap.
Engine & transmission: The engine has 103BHP and it is a gem of an engine, it revs freely and from 4500-7000 RPM the car really pulls like a train and the engine sounds delicious. When cruising around the engine is silent, you do wonder if it is still on, but when you put your foot down you get a nice throaty induction roar. The gearbox has a positive change, it has the R65 gearbox, the only issues is that the clutch bite is quite high and reverse is difficult to engage when cold.
Handling & comfort: The car steers brilliantly, there is plenty of feel and the steering is well weighted, the car feels stable and corners really well. The ride is superb, it is very smooth, but firm enough so that it has a sporty edge to it.
Practicality: The boot is huge especially with the seats folded, I am 5 foot 10 and I find there is lots of leg/knee & headroom, more so then the new Ford Focus, the new Focus is bigger and very cramped. The driving position is good, but the seat could be too high for some.
I have owned a 2004 Rover 25 Sxi for 2 years now, I think its a great looking car with the new front and back bumpers and new head lamps. My car is realy good on fuel and is lovely to drive. THE ONLY RESION WHY THE HEAD GASKET GOES ITS THAT YOU NEED TO CHANGE IT AROUND 65,000. IF YOU DO THAT THEN YOU WONT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, so get the head gasket done before it goes and you will have a great car.
I feel that the Rover 25 get's a lot of stick, and quite rightly so in some ways, but it's a decent little runner. Okay, so the cabin trim is a bit dull, and the quality is a bit suspect, i.e. rattles etc., but it's economical, tax band C, and a decent car to drive. Because it's only small but relatively wide it holds the road well, however it's no sport machine of course! To be honest, I've had this car for almost a year, and touch wood I've had no major problems with it, and if something sis need replacing, the parts are reasonably cheap, and there are plenty of them. This car makes a great everyday runabout - fact.

I have owned this car for almost 2 years, bought from a used dealer with 60k on and later found it was a ex rental car.... the insurance was cheap…

I posted a little about my experience of seeing Twilight: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 on my personal blog today, but seeing as how I've not seen a true post-mortem on this particular film, I thought I'd divert a little of my time to pick up the scalpel and dissect the Twilight phenomenon.
Fans, you may want to avert your eyes.
To go ahead and get the bona fides out of the way: I read the first book, have seen all of the movies with my wife, and in general don't dislike the notion of paranormal romance. So if I'm a hater, I'm at least a hater who tried.
And I did try. Really, I did. My wife read all of the books, and when I ask her questions about them, she answers in a way that makes them sound kind of interesting. Her enthusiasm for the story and its characters is what compelled us to the movie theater to see Twilight in the first place. And I genuinely went with an open mind.
But 13.83 seconds after watching Kristen Stewart wince her way through the movie's opening scenes, I knew I would never be able to like the movie. Let alone the entire franchise. I simply could not abide Kristen Stewart's portrayal of Bella.
Remember, I'd read the book. And what was a somewhat charming, slightly klutzy, sadly lost young woman on the page became an utterly bland, slightly constipated mess on the screen. Watching Ms. Stewart's Bella on screen in Twilight (and each subsequent movie) I suddenly came to realize just why my grandmother's preferred cure-all for any ailment was an enema. It certainly seemed appropos in Bella's case.
Compounding the issue was that the character became even more unredeemable with each sequel. Bella went from being whiny to being needy to being incomprehensibly selfish to being someone that I actively rooted against in the most horrific of ways.
Put it to you this way: in Breaking Dawn - Part 2, when the big evil vampires from Italy show up to kill Bella and Edward and their clan, I was the only person in the theater openly cheering for the so-called bad guys to succeed.
I got some stares that were scarier than anything onscreen.
Truthfully, what bothered me most about Bella as portrayed by Kristen Stewart (and honestly, about Bella in general) is that she was an incomplete person without her "soulmate," Edward. She was a half-measure; and while I can appreciate that Stephanie Meyers was trying to write a love story that emphasized chastity and finding your perfect mate, she really only succeeded in creating a character that was so myopically selfish that she had to end up with a vampire because no human being would take her.
That's not exactly the kind of heroine I want my daughter emulating.
Actually, calling her a heroine is a bit of a stretch. Sure she morphs into something powerful in Breaking Dawn, but before that she's just the object of desire for two different men. Her greatest gift is being attractive. And while you can certainly spin the idea that female empowerment can be found in utilizing looks to advantage, you can't really say that it makes for a compelling hero arc. Nor can you say that it's something all women can (or should) use for themselves.
I know I sound like an idiot. Like I posted on Twitter, my disdain for the character of Bella is irrational, and probably closer to unhinged than anything else. But for me, the series dies when I ask myself: is this someone I would want my daughter to know?
After watching all of the movies, but in particular Breaking Dawn - Part 2, my answer is an unequivocal NO.
Deanna Allen
3:53 pm on Monday, November 26, 2012
I don't think you sound like an idiot at all. I've read the books several times. Watched all the movies. Own the first four. Will buy the fifth when it comes out on DVD. And through it all, the character of Bella has bothered me. I don't know anyone who likes the series because of her. It's the vampire and the werewolf that carry the attraction. From the beginning, for me, I was staunchly Team Edward. Upon first read, I was enthralled with the idea of an individual being totally devoted to me. Because, let's be honest, I'm much more deserving of Edward's attentions than Bella (let's pretend he isn't forever stuck at the age of 17 and really more than 100 years old 'cause that makes things a little weird). Then upon subsequent reads I actually paid attention to his character and he's actually scarily devoted. Obsessed, really. And that's creepy. I can still love the character (it's really Robert Pattinson and his hair I adore) but recognize the relationship between Bella and Edward is unhealthy.
Back to Bella, though, she's far from what I would hope parents would want for a role model for young girls. And I can't even go into my disdain for Kristen Stewart's performances in all the movies. I was all for recasting Bella after seeing Twilight.
Wow. I just typed quite a lot. And really, I just wanted to say I totally agree with you about Bella and KStew. Now I'm curious to know if you've read The Hunger Games ...
Jason Brooks
5:17 pm on Monday, November 26, 2012
Deanna - thanks for the feedback. Glad to know I'm not alone on the Bella/Kristen Stewart thing.
As for Hunger Games...read the first book and saw the movie. Enjoyed the movie much more. Haven't read any of the other books, as I just didn't care for either of the main characters.
Maybe I have a compassion deficit problem for literary figures?

On an other note (but same concening movies and good stories for girls) - have you seen BRAVE? I love Merida. They call this movie the first princess movie without a prince. Merida is her own person and has no pretenses at all. Her relationship with her mother, while strained, is at least honest. The story is wonderful that it shows the destruction born in pride and the reconciliation and blessing that comes from "mending the bond torn by pride." There is a real life moral to the story (can apply to any of us) and the characters are very honest and true to themselves and each other. And nope, I couldn't get into the vampire thing either. Bad acting in my opinion and I'm sorry, but I just don't see the attraction to Edward.
Jason Brooks
9:31 pm on Monday, November 26, 2012
Tammy - I did see Brave...with my daughter. We both loved it. She loves all things princess (which is another blog post soon to come) and I thought Merida was the right tone for her age. She's been getting TOO interested in boys lately, in part because princesses always have to have a prince, right? But since Merida didn't need one, I'm hoping she'll hop on her bandwagon...

I have two grandaughters who are various princesses even in the grocery store. Always in character. Funny story that you might appreciate... My daughter, Kelly, told me once that she felt that she and her husband had probably been using Disney movies a little too much to babysit. They were distracted by some temporary issues, and plopped my grandaughter Selah down in front of a dvd too often and she had proof. Seems that Selah had gotten into some trouble and got disciplined by her mother. Kelly felt that Selah needed to understand why she had to be punished, and she ended her explanation with, "Besides, I'm your mother!" Selah looked at her through big crocodile tears and said, 'Well, you may be my mother, but you're not the QUEEN!"
Of course, I told my daughter that she missed her big opportunity. She could have picked up the phone and called me....the real Queen. I could have fixed that situation in a heartbeat. lol
Tammy Osier
9:47 pm on Monday, November 26, 2012
jason, I went out and bought BRAVE. The more I watch it, the more the story takes on life. I like buying the dvd's because they have the special features. One part of the special features had the writers explaining the depth of the storyline. There's a lot more to get out of it once you know why they wrote it the way they did. Sometimes we have to suffer the consequences of our decisions and come to the end of ourselves before we can see the truth clearly.
Also, I loved the relationship between Merida and her Dad.

I don't think you're crazy to dislike Twilight, or the character of Bella in particular. I wouldn't want my daughter to emulate that dependence (nor her boyfriend to model any of the rather stalker-like behavior). I can kind of shrug it off, because hey, it's a movie about vampires and werewolves and at least Bella manages to finally come into her own in the end (this is even more apparent in the books). But it will never be my favorite.
Personally, I'm kind of hoping my daughter goes along with the model of Eowyn from Lord of the Rings. :-) That's just me.
I will say/ that Meyer did a very good job at capturing the mindset of many teenage girls (not all, of course, as everyone is different). I hope that I will be able to provide my daughter with the grace and confidence not to be that self-conscious or dependent. But, having been a teenage girl myself, I know that hormones do funny things to the brain. Hopefully, my relationship with my husband will provide her with a better example

Eowyn is one of my all-time favorite characters. Such a strong female literary role model for girls!

I think you are right as a parent....but as a Twilight fan, I have to say that I think the scene of Edward and Bella in the meadow together in the first movie captured my heart....and I don't care how much she scowls throughout the rest of the films! Hate on KStew all you want, but she definitely has an energy that breathes from within, and it is captivating to watch on screen...

Athens Mama - I'm hoping that Kristen Stewart's post-Twilight opportunities give her more of a chance to shine. I know that I was really impressed with how much Jodie Foster (Kristen's "Panic Room" co-star) believes in Ms. Stewart's talents, so I'll be curious to see how she chooses to flex her acting abilities beyond Bella.

I was impressed with Kristen Stewart's performance in The Runaways. As far as being captivating to watch in The Twilight Saga, I must disagree. I think it's painful to watch her in any and all of the Twilight movies, with the possible exception of Breaking Dawn Part 2. But maybe that was the point. She doesn't come into her own, as Marne M says, until that movie.

You don't sound like an idiot but...if my oldest son would think he should emulate every movie character he saw as a teen he would have a split personality by now. Teens know the difference between fantasy and real life The Twilight thing is fantasy. I was 14 when I saw the Exorcist ..I did not think that I would suddenly be possessed by a demon and spit pea soup all over every body. My youngest watches a few movies a month he knows the difference too.Some characters teach our girls what the don't want to be. Some inspire and some are just what there are a character..and that's all.

Comprehensive patch suggestion list
Sun Jun 17, 2012 12:54 pm
Sat Jun 16, 2012 6:28 pm
Hi there,
I am a prestige 5 lvl 45 on xbox with near 100 hours played. Having played all the characters quite extensively, these are the things I would change for each, not only to bring balance between the characters, but also add new tactics and depth to the game.
This is a comprehensive list of changes i would make to all characters as well as just in general
Insert small indestructible turret under the overhang of the solar drill, this turret does half the damage of the regular turrets
Reverse superdroid spawning conditions so the team that lost the turret gets the super droid
Bot's levels automatically scale with the average level in the game
Enable a option to change the max number of bots/players per team. This easily opens up 2v2/1v1 game types
Fix the leaderboards
Enable a consecutive win bonus, starting at 2k, stacking up to 10k, this bonus is lost when you quit a match that has more players than bots.
Drones no longer 'confuse' turrets when up close unless the the forcefield upgrade has been purchased
Voltar speed upgrade also adds a 'half jump'
Voltar recieves no solar bonus for healing Leons clones
Make Twisted nightmares (invert heal) free, or at least substantially cheaper (50)
Does not suffer a movement penalty when healing
Time warp has no activation start up
Increase default time warp duration by 1 second and cooldown -1 second
Make carpet bombing round up the damage that is spread equally between the mines (results in slight increase to overall mine damage)
Leons strikes only cause Yuri to fall from flight if he is hit from behind
Lonestar missile's do not cause him to fall from flight, dynamite still does
Map Yuri's laser attack to the right stick (Still unable to move when firing)
Increase Tongue cooldown by 0.25 seconds
Increase cost of 'Tongue Stretcher' to 150 solar
Increase 'Cheese & Garlic mints' (silence) duration: 0.75 seconds - 1.5 seconds
Make dummy's attacks replicate weapon effects too (slow, back stab ect), dummies max damage to turrets is 8
'Electrifier' works on a cooldown against enemy awesomenauts: slow duration 1 seconds, cool down 2.5 seconds, also slows attack speed, no changes against droids.
'Magnet Piercing' also gives 10% solar from damage to any enemy awesomenaut, increase cost to 220 solar
Leon can be knocked out of stealth after being invisible for 5 seconds
Leons strikes only cause Yuri to fall from flight if he is hit from behind
Leon can no longer back stab turrets
Fix explosion radius
Increase slow amount on for 'Grease Lightning Snail'(+25%, +50%), upgrade also increases charge duration by .5 seconds per upgrade
Increase default missile flight speed slightly
'Improved Homing Sensor' also increases range of missiles, increase cost to 220. Missles curve away from enemy turrets when fired out of turrets range
Replace blueprints container with new upgrade,"Ejection chamber", Cost 200: Reduces respawn time by 5 seconds, clunk is 'Ejected' from ship at light speed, skipping solar collecting section and always obtaining max possible solar.
Missile cost increased to 230, no longer causes splash damage, increase re-loading time by 0.25 seconds, missles fire in succession instead of simultaneously
Cyber bull works at point blank range
Lonestar missile's do not cause Yuri to fall from flight, dynamite still does
Increase techno viking helmet explosion radius, or change it to a wide cone in front of the bull
[Optional]:Replace 'Raging Bull' (movement speed) with a new upgrade "Barbed Horns" that makes the bull have a pull effect (sticks enemies to the front of the bull)
Froggy G
Fix Splash dash radius so it stays within what the animation outlines
'Can't Touch This' (tornado shield) no longer over absorbs damage
Increase 'Icecubes' (stun duration) cost to 180
Increase default range of blaster
Increase 'Twister Tweeters' (tornado explosion) effective radius
New map
Also I would add a new map with a turret layout that hasn't been done yet, keeping with max 4 turrets per side
AI station layout 2-1-middle-1-2
Ribbit 2-2-middle-2-2
Sorona 1-2-middle-2-1
New map 1-2-1-middle-1-2-1 (this map would be slightly larger)
Current map themes are Desert, jungle, Technology and each has some added effect (sorona worm, AI station anti grav & droid spawner ect.)
New theme
Snow/ice (Possibly in theme with yuri, soviet style tundra with bunkers ect)
environmental effect
'Radar jammer'
With my suggested layout of 1-2-1-middle-1-2-1 the jammer would be team controlled in the jungle area either above or below the middle. It's effective radius would be the middle to the 2nd row of turrets and it would jam intermittently with visible pulses. Each pulse disables enemy mini-map and droids briefly, becoming weaker the the farther the wave travels and stronger the closer the enemy is to the jammer. To capture the jammer an awesomenaut merely has to touch it to covert it to his side. It would also be placed in a hide-able area. The jammer would overload and explode once either sides drill core is exposed, making it an early game tool to fight over.
So thats me, some of these might sound strange (like clunks slow) but these are the changes I think would balance the game overall, creating new strategies and builds adding much more depth, and depth is good!
The list is quite extensive but I hope you enjoy reading the changes I propose, because this game is just so great and all I want to do is help make it better. so what do you reckon?

Nearly all of these are great idea's but I think giving the hyper bull a sticky upgrade is to OP, because you could "stick" them to your turret killing them to quickly

That happens anyway though even without slow as long as your good at predicting their paths mid jump, and besides your opponents should know if your going to try bull them into a turret, it's not too hard to avoid. If they have burst damage ready they can kill it in 1 go as well.
I was thinking it would just open up the option better for combining it with bull damage and being able to pin them against walls. Again though this is already possible, but it would just make it easier to pull off.

Current super droid spawning mechanics exist as an incentive to protect your own turrets. The enemy cannot destroy the core if there are turrets standing in the way. Super droid/minion spawn mechanics in other MOBA's work in similar ways.
What you propose will give players an incentive to intentionally allow the enemy to gain the following:
1) Map control. So many players underestimate the ability to free roam the map.
2) Solar advantage. Destroying turrets grants solar to your entire team. Or in this case, the enemy team.
3) Access to your core. Because your team forfeited map control.
4) More free solar for destroying the super droid.
Is all of that worth the risk in order to spawn a super droid?
Switching the super droid spawn action will completely alter game play mechanics of MOBA for the worse.

Interesting how you put it with the super droid, i hadn't quite thought about it like that before.
With the super droid spawning reversed the way I saw it was more of a way for the team who just lost a turret to get back on their feet and not be steam rolled so easily, not only that but it also gives the defending team an incentive to protect their super droid since having it destroyed could likely grant a solar bonus to the enemy. It would also give a last line of defence for the drill core once the last turret was destroyed, delaying the drill core destruction.

Now that is something worth looking into. Increasing the reload sounds legit and successive firing is interesting. However, I do not see anything wrong with the splash damage or the knockback ability (in reference to disabling Yuri in flight).

The knockback effect on missiles needs to go, between dynamites knockback, missiles, and bull, yuri cannot channel a laser for more than 2 seconds.
A lonestar pretty much hard counters yuri, he can destroy mines, he can knock him out of the sky with ease, and if yuri dares try to get in a DPS war with lonestar, his laser wont get past the 2 damage mark because of lonestars braindead missiles popping yuri into the air. Im all for working as a team, but yuri cant even think of defending himself when a Derpstar shows up with his missile button taped down
Also, towards the suggested change to Improved Homing Sensor, i very much disagree with this suggestion. i love its cost/effect ratio as it is. Adding more range would be a bit obnoxious combined with his bigger missiles. The suggestion to remove its ability to hit turrets is silly, every character has ways to damage turrets unscathed if left alone, and i would very much like my missiles to hit the guy standing just barely in front of the turret instead of awkwardly curving away in a silly direction in attempt to avoid the turret...
"They should just nerf his selection button, too. Half the time it should just select Clunk and tell you that other players might get sad if you play as him."

Leon is supposed to be Yuris hard counter, not lonestar. The missiles basically make him like leon when fighting against yuri. He doesn't need the missiles knocking him out of the air since he can already do that with dynamite AND bull. Let's not let all lonestars abilities annihilate Yuri. Clunks default missiles do the same damage as lonestars and don't cause knock back or splash damage(Except big pete/without AoE upgrade),so why not give clunk knock back and splash for the cost of 1 upgrade too? because that would be ridiculously unbalanced.
As for the homing sensor, the idea was it would only curve away if there was no enemies at the turret, so if one was there it would still lock on to the nearest enemy awesomnaut and hit the turret/them(So you could use it to avoid damage against defending awesomenauts). The way i see it with homing sensor is it's only really a good upgrade to get if your against froggy G or you dont use snare with bite (I'm a beast at aiming that bite
The reason for the increased range was to make the upgrade useful when firing down lanes, since if your just standing there shooting droids/awesomenauts in front of you, the homing doesn't really add anything. Homing sensor also pretty much requires firing speed upgrade since the standard missile flight speed is just far too slow.
Though obviously the idea of missile homing away from enemy turrets, actually helping them survive seems quite silly. I couldn't really think of another solution to prevent him from easily wailing on a turret from afar with increased range, something no character should be able to do so easily without having to buy a few upgrades to be able to do it (Lonestar bouncing dynamite)

I like the suggestions. Some I'm not so sure about.
The problem is this all looks pretty good on paper but how would it actually perform in game that's wherein the problem lies.
Then there is the point that Ronimo might be already in the final stages of their patch and might have already done their own tweaks based on previous input. You would have to play the new build and see if your suggestions are still viable for a possible next patch or if new issues arise.

I do, considering that a competent Lonestar can outrun a Yuri with Flash running since he gets completely crippled by missiles, and knockbacks can even be chained with the Blaster alone if he's hit from high enough. On top of that, both his Dynamite and Bull have knockback (and the bull is far worse for Yuri than most characters). Putting them together means getting hit once by Lonestar is going to kill you unless he makes a mistake. Successive missiles would make it even easier to stun lock him to death.

The purpose of this Children's Oncology Group study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of cixutumumab in combination with temsirolimus in children with sarcomas that have returned despite prior therapy or have stopped responding to standard therapy. Cixutumumab is an investigational drug; temosirolimus is approved for use in adults with kidney cancer, but its use in children is considered investigational.
Cixutumuab inhibits a protein involved in cancer growth called type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor. Temsirolimus blocks a protein called mTOR, an important regulator of tumor growth. Laboratory studies suggest that these two drugs work well together. Both drugs are given intravenously (by vein).
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:

We stay open in the summer because music never takes a day off. Our students may continue to take private lessons in the summer. If a student wants to try a new instrument summer is a good time to do that. Each summer we also offer several additional music programs. Enrolled students can register for summer programs by filling out summer registration form.
Day 1: Introduction to improvisation, learning to listen, improvisation exercise, learning a blues form.
Day 2: Introducing songs for improvisation. Learning to make shapes with sounds. Creating "horns" and "rhythm" sections. Working in sections.
Day 3: Improvisation warm–up. Listening to recordings of the songs we are working on and the importance of listening/ emulating this music. Group improvisation. Playing through the melodies of the songs. Jam! Working on arrangements.
Day 4: Improvisation warm–up. Reviewing of arrangements. Group rehearsal. Working in sections. Sections playing together.
Day 5: Improvisation warm–up. Group improvisation exercises. Reviewing of the songs. Forming performing groups. RECORD!
Jazz Improvisation and Composition Workshop
This week long intensive group course introduces students to the art and science of jazz improvisation. The students will learn their role in a typical jazz combo setting while learning the basics of improvisation; how to read jazz charts, simple chords, how to play in a group; "trading" (jazz's musical conversation) and taking solo's. Students will also learn about jazz style and swing through exercises and listening. They will build confidence and creativity while learning tunes. At the end of the week long session students will record their newly learning tunes as a group and each student will be able to take home their own CD with his or her first jazz performance recording. All instruments are welcomed.
There is also an opportunity to learn jazz improvisation in a private lesson setting.
Singing in the Sun
No matter what age, we can help kids find their own tune. This summer we are introducing two summer programs—"Disney Tunes" (for 8-9 years old) and "Road to Broadway" (for 10-12 years old). Each program consists of 8 group one-hour weekly lessons. The students will learn the foundations of good singing technique, including proper breathing and singing in a relaxed, natural fashion with their voice. They will learn basic musicianship: how to follow a piece of music even if they don't quite know how to read sheet music yet; basic note names and rhythms, and musical symbols. They will also learn easy harmonies and how to sing as a member of a group (listening skills). At the end of the program the students will have a graduation recital. The size of the groups is limited to 6 students. Please contact us for days and times of the lessons.
Please contact us For more information about our summer music programs .
Music Camps
Music Takes You All over the World
Sharon Music Academy is not just our students' gateway to music but it is also their gateway to the world and its culture. Through our affiliation with an extensive network of international music camps in Europe and the US, we provide a unique opportunity to learn from the best musicians in the world.

Artismo.com is changing the landscape of the framed art print industry. Introducing a catalogue of framed art prints, with hand-made frames and regular featured artists, Artismo is making big waves online.
(PRWEB) January 03, 2013
Artismo.com, a new online store that specializes in custom framed art for homes and businesses. The company, which deals exclusively in prints and decorative objects, was launched this year offers numerous pieces across all styles and genres.
Unlike many art print websites, Artismo focuses on prints of original works by contemporary artists. Part of the website's mision is to offer businesses and homeowners a selection that goes beyond the same well-known pieces that are hung over and over at other venues. Instead, they offer prints of new and recent works by up and coming artists, supporting the arts scene as well as delivering cutting edge art.
Artismo also stands out from its competitors by offering their prints with hand-cut, custom built wooden frames. The company's frames are constructed, fitted and packaged in the United States by the hands of experienced local craftsmen. The moulding is made of high quality wood and is precision-cut for each customer's print. The prints are mounted and specially packaged so that the frame and artwork arrive safely at their final destination. International shipping is available.
As part of its policy of supporting contemporary artists, Artismo regularly spotlights a "featured artist." The site's first featured artist is Florida-born Kate Archie, a sculptor-cum-painter whose designs feature textured natural elements and evoke the outdoors. Archie says she "was inspired to create by the beauty... found in the natural habitat [I] grew up with: the Everglades." Archie's prints will remain on center stage as Artismo officially opens to the public.
Artismo's catalogue is loosely divided into contemporary, global, traditional, and country style artwork, but it can also be searched by keyword, subject, artist or even predominant color.
About Artismo:
Artismo.com is a rising star in the world of framed art prints, offering the widest selection of any online dealer. The company abides by a firm commitment to American made craftmanship and exposing the world to the work of brilliant new artists. Conceived with a mission to bring high-quality framed art prints to the public at affordable prices, Artismo can be contacted at artismo.com.

A ruling consolidating all federal lawsuits against the New England Compounding Center (NECC) for its role in a national fungal meningitis outbreak holds advantages for plaintiffs, says Robert K. Jenner, attorney with Janet, Jenner & Suggs. The firm represents more than 50 families across the country that have been harmed by this tragic outbreak.
Boston, MA (PRWEB) February 21, 2013
A ruling by the Judicial Panel on Multi-District Litigation that consolidates all federal lawsuits against the New England Compounding Center (NECC) for its alleged role in a national fungal meningitis outbreak holds some distinct advantages for plaintiffs, says Robert K. Jenner, attorney with Janet, Jenner & Suggs, LLC. (JPML Case No. 2418)
"Consolidation of the federal cases will streamline the process and hopefully result in families that have been harmed by the conduct of NECC getting closure and receiving compensation more quickly," said Jenner, who is a partner in the firm and heads the firm's Mass Torts Division.
Some 150 cases already filed in federal courts will be transferred to Boston as a result of the ruling, noted JJ&S attorney Kimberly Dougherty, "I wouldn't be surprised if you see an influx of filings now that they know where they're going," Dougherty said. "I think this is just the beginning."
Jenner also praised the selection of U.S. District Judge Dennis Saylor, of Boston, to preside over the MDL.
"Judge Saylor has exercised diligence and fairness in his rulings regarding NECC lawsuits and has the depth of knowledge and experience in handling complicated litigation that this MDL will require," Jenner said. "Massachusetts was the best choice since that is where NECC is located and where NECC's bankruptcy is pending."
Under the MDL designation, federally-filed cases against NECC will be consolidated for pre-trial motions and discovery, Jenner explained. The panel also will appoint lead attorneys to coordinate the cases for these purposes, he said.
When it comes to settlement negotiations or trials, however, each case will be looked at separately by the court and handled by plaintiffs' individual attorneys, he noted.
The now-closed New England Compounding Center, located in Framingham, is accused in the lawsuits of allegedly supplying the steroids linked to an outbreak of fungal meningitis last fall. According to the Centers for Disease Control, as of Feb. 19, over 700 have been sickened, 247 contracting meningitis, and 47 deaths have been linked to the outbreak.
Janet, Jenner & Suggs
Janet, Jenner & Suggs, LLC, represents victims of defective products, medical devices, prescription drugs and medical malpractice.

The firm has offices in Boston (75 Arlington St., Suite 500, Boston, MA 02216, phone number (617) 933-1265); Baltimore, Maryland (Commerce Centre East, 1777 Reisterstown Road, Suite 165, Baltimore, MD 21208, phone number (410) 653-3200); Columbia, SC; and Asheville, NC.

for the dressing:1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil2 Tbs grainy Dijon mustard2 Tbs honey2-3 Tbs apple cider vinegar (or red wine vinegar)
1 medium-large red onionolive oil and salt and pepper for seasoning sliced onion2 7-ounce boneless skinless salmon filletsolive oil and salt and pepper for seasoning salmon
Add those to a medium mixing bowl and add about 1 Tbs minced garlic and 1 Tbs finely minced fresh rosemary, a little olive oil and salt and pepper to taste and toss to combine.
Preheat the grill and use a larger mixing bowl to combine 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil with 2 Tbs grainy Dijon mustard, 2 Tbs honey and 2 Tbs apple cider vinegar and whisk it up.
Peel and slice the red onion into 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick rounds, place whole slices on a baking tray brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper and olive oil.
Get the onions and the potatoes going first on the grill and, as far as the potatoes go, you just want to get some grill marks on those and make sure they're hot all the way through and then take them off of the grill.
Once the onions are grilled and soft, take those off of the grill and add them to the bowl with the dressing and let them marinate for a few minutes.
All that is left is to grill the salmon to your liking. You may need to use a spatula to help carefully flip it as it cooks.
Serve it up while everything is still nice and warm with the grilled salmon right on top of the potatoes and the grilled onions and dressing over the top of everything.
