Daily headlines report grotesque gun massacres, hurricanes, political fights, tornados, Mideast slaughter, tsunamis, earthquakes, etc. All this mayhem obscures the reality that human life slowly is becoming better.
"Examine the data over time, and you'll find irrefutable evidence of progress: the decline of war and violent crime, the increase in lifespans; the spread of literacy, democracy, and equal rights; the waning of privilege based on race, gender, heredity, beliefs."
That 's how The Christian Science Monitor described a special report on gradual improvement in living conditions around the planet.
The national newspaper said horrifying events "can make us beat our fists on the table and ask where was God." But quietly, relentlessly, little-noticed, betterment keeps advancing. The Monitor outlined:
"Extreme poverty is declining. HIV is no longer a death sentence. Technology is transforming everything from African agriculture to urban transportation. Drug violence is decreasing in Mexico. Travel is safer almost everywhere. Crime rates are falling. Somalia is emerging from a long night of anarchy. Myanmar [Burma] is coming out of its dictatorial shell. ... Freedom lives in 7 billion hearts."
This hopeful outlook is a fine way to begin a new year. It's the same message that Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker delivered last year in his landmark book, "The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined."
Dr. Pinker cited data showing that warfare has receded dramatically, democracy steadily proliferates, human rights keep advancing, illiteracy is retreating, and the like. He calculated that war deaths are only one-thousandth as bad today as in bloody past centuries.
The same conclusion was reached by American University professor Joshua Goldstein in his book, "Winning the War on War." He said:
"Despite all the hand-wringing, fearmongering and bad-news headlines, peace is on the rise. Fewer wars are starting, more are ending, and those that remain are smaller and more localized than in past years. Incredibly, no national armies are still fighting one another; all of today's wars are civil wars."
As 2013 brings new opportunity, it's great that humanity's chances look brighter. Frankly, we think the march of progress was aided when American voters re-elected President Obama and endorsed the Democratic Party's agenda of helping average families.
Therefore, the new year begins on an upbeat note.

Fox News.com reports that an Oklahoma City student was forced to turn his shirt inside-out because he was wearing a University of Michigan T-shirt, violating the district's dress code.
Fox 25 reports that the 5-year-old kindergartner violated a 2005 rule created by the Oklahoma City Public Schools banning clothing with sports team logos unless they are from Oklahoma colleges or universities. The rule, which was established due to gang affiliations some teams carry, excludes all professional teams, including the Oklahoma City Thunder.
"If it's not offensive, I think they should wear what they want to wear," said Shannon Barton, the student's mother.
Several parents told Fox 25 they think the rule is ridiculous, saying it's especially harsh at the kindergarten level due to the likelihood of gang activity at that age.
"I don't think wearing different team shirt is going to disrupt class or something any more than an OU or OSU shirt would," one mother told the station.
OKCPS Superintendent Karl Springer said the district will determine if the rule is outdated.
"In cooperation with the Oklahoma City Police Department Gang Task Force, the policy was approved in 2005 after concerns that nationwide gangs used popular sports clothing to represent individual gangs," the statement reads. "As when any policy is questioned, OKCPS administration will review the policy to determine if changes need to be made."

Corin is an award-winning journalist who joined Action News in March 2005 after spending six years producing the highest-rated morning newscast in the country at our sister station in Houston, KTRK-TV. He prides himself on breaking exclusive stories such as his series exposing exactly who was getting released from the Fresno County Jail for overcrowding including violent criminals. His exclusive series on loopholes in jail policies and AB-109 allowing sex offenders to avoid jail despite violating parole even got reaction from the state government. And he was the first reporter to interview the Valley Marine who robbed two banks just after he was released from the VA on a PTSD diagnosis and who later got help from President Obama to regain control of his life. The Radio-Television News Directors Association also recognized Corin with an award for his reporting on the brain drain out of the Central Valley.
Corin toddled through his childhood traveling the world, living in Germany, Canada, New York City and Fargo, North Dakota, where he caught the journalism bug while putting together a junior high school newspaper.
After graduating from the University of Houston Honors College with a B.S. in biology, Corin rediscovered his passion for journalism, and broke into the TV business after earning a Houston Press award for his writing at a local newspaper.
While he isn't a native of the Valley, Corin has planted roots here. When he's not in the newsroom, he loves spending time with his wife (a Clovis High School graduate) and daughter. Favorite pastimes include baseball, visiting Yosemite or Kings Canyon, catching the live music scene in Fresno or Visalia, eating at Charlotte's in the Tower, and running.

MaidPro's team makes people want to dance. "I did a little jig around my house after they left," confessed one client, and another raved that her housecleaner "renewed my spirit as she brought order to my home." Not only are MaidPro's staffers efficient—they follow a 49-point cleaning checklist—but they are also trustworthy; more than 90% of clients hand over their house keys and private memoirs to the background-checked employees. As crews scour bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, and living areas, they can dissolve dirt with a lineup of well-known products or fulfill requests to use cleansers that boast the Green Seal of eco-friendliness. If a client ever spots a spot within 24 hours of cleaning, MaidPro's staffers will return to reclean the area free of charge.
The Ready Project's virtual shelves contain all the necessary tools, gear, and food for outdoor expeditions, camping trips, and natural disasters. Emergency supplies outfit homes with survival kits and water-treatment kits, as well as emergency stoves and communication devices such as radios or weather-proof carrier pigeons. Survival gear allows nature explorers to create shelter with knives and tools, as well as guarding against castaway fatigue with signal mirrors, emergency flares, or air horns. To bolster homes with long-lasting food supplies, The Ready Project's monthly doses of food storage packs 2,000 calories in daily meals. Nineteen gourmet dishes such as potato soup and chili come to life with the mere addition of water, and remain safely on shelves for 20 years.
Logan Cassell noticed an unfortunate trend: homeowners were hiring multiple contractors for large projects because they specialized in one type of service. That's why he created Outside-In Improvement. As a licensed sole proprietorship for professional services, Outside-In can tackle multiple types of projects at once. If time remains after technicians landscape lawns, clients can have them detail cars, paint rooms, install bathtubs, or reglaze especially meaningful donuts.

I have tingling in the back of my head. left arm and hand and my fingers will lock up, I am also vomitting every day and nothingPosted by em1984 I am in pain all of the time with my interstitial cystitis but feel that this is not the reason for the vommitting. ONce the tingling and numbness and locking of my fingers on my left side and back of head got worse so did everythign else. I am desperate to get some sort of an idea, as this is not being addressed. I have been into the ER multiple times within a week and all they do is give my naseau meds even though they have seen this episode. All I can find is stuff about strokes and what not, but aren't I too young for that. Another thing is that I have a history of blacking out yet they have checked my heart, the heat is too much for me. All I am needing is somewhere to start so I can be on my way to getting better. I have now lost 22 pounds and only weigh 98 pounds. So anything would help! Thank you |

"A playful primer on insincerity for budding poets. This mischievous collection is sure to engage the devilish side of readers of all ages."
"Readers will enjoy sharing the surprising selections, which will make them rethink what they thought they knew."
Booklist (starred review)
"Levine models more than 40 poems after William Carlos Williams's "This Is Just to Say," taking its quasi-repentant tone to a whole new level. Poetry fans fine-tuning their sense of sarcasm need look no further. "
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Gleeful false-apology poems. Taking as her model William Carlos William's poem about purloined plums, "This Is Just to Say," Ms. Levine has devised verses written from the point of view of any number of unrepentant malefactors. Matthew Cordell's comic drawings leaven the mordant wit."
Wall Street Journal
"Gail Carson Levine's gleefully snarky poems in "Forgive Me, I Meant to Do It" go a long way in turning this high-minded literary form into a joy for youngsters – and their adults."
Sacramento Bee
"The collection overall possesses appealing irreverence and vitality. The open and breezy format adds accessibility, with each spread offering one or two of the terse verses offset by Cordell's humorous art, monochromatic, wittily scrawled images often containing their own exclamations or sound effects."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
Praise for A Tale of Two Castles: "A thoroughly delicious romp from the author of Ella Enchanted. The plot is winningly unpredictable, the characters easy to relate to, the humor subtle and the action well-paced. Newbery Honor-winner Levine has once again breathed new life into old stories."
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Praise for A Tale of Two Castles: "Readers are certain to be pulled, like Elodie herself, right into the midst of the rich and swirling life of Two Castles."
School Library Journal
Praise for Writing Magic: "Levine encourages readers to take their work seriously while remembering to have fun. An informative and encouraging must-read for young writers."
School Library Journal (starred review)
Praise for Writing Magic: "A veritable treasure trove of advice and guidance for writers across a range of ages."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
Praise for Writing Magic: "Writing Magic is a great introduction to writing for children. The "voice" is upbeat and not condescending. It is clearly written, and includes examples when they are needed. As far as I know, there is nothing else like this available."

Prattville, AL (Sports Network) - Katherine Hull birdied the 17th hole and shot a five-under 67 Sunday to win the Navistar LPGA Classic by one shot over Brittany Lincicome.
Hull, a 28-year-old Australian, captured her second win after the 2008 Canadian Women's Open. She finished with a 19-under 269, making just one bogey in 72 holes.
Lincicome, chasing her first win since the '09 Kraft Nabisco, made two late birdies for a 65 and took second place alone on a crowded leaderboard at 18- under 270.
Cristie Kerr carried a three-shot lead into the final round, but closed with a 72 and dropped into a tie for third place at 17-under 271 with Na Yeon Choi (69).
Hull made several keys birdies on the back nine, including a six-foot putt at the 14th that tied her with Lincicome for the lead. But none of them was bigger than the slippery 15-footer she made at the 17th.
The putt broke left-to-right into the hole, giving Hull a one-shot lead over Lincicome and Kerr.
She sealed the win with a two-putt par at the 18th -- making a gutsy six- footer to finish it off -- and walked away with the $195,000 first-place check.
Her 269 broke Lorena Ochoa's tournament record from last year.
"It's a little overwhelming, actually. It probably won't hit me until later," said Hull. "You just get so focused on executing and just finishing, that you don't think about anything else. I'm definitely on a high right now, and probably won't come down for a while."
Hull started her bogey-free round on the Capitol Hill's Senator Course with a birdie at No. 1. She strung together eight consecutive pars after that and wasn't really a factor until the back nine, where four birdies gave her an inward 32.
She came from three shot back for the win.
"It's actually really validating," said Hull. "I feel like my game's the best it's ever been, and I know it's going to get better, too. I think I've always struggled to try to put four good rounds together, and I was able to do that this week."
Lincicome had the clubhouse number to beat for a while after making birdies at the 15th and 16th holes to break a five-way tie for the lead. But it didn't hold up against Hull.
"You know, 65 on the final day, that's pretty cool," said Lincicome, who earned $119,198.
Kerr, the world No. 3, was chasing her 15th win and third this year. She made eight straight pars to start the round, then a bogey at No. 9 to shoot a 37. Two birdies on the back nine weren't enough.
"Everything was kind of a little bit off. Couldn't get any momentum going," Kerr said.
In the end, consistency is what put Hull over the top. Her only bogey of the tournament came at the 17th hole on Thursday. She went the last 55 holes without making another.
"Stress-free golf," she said.
NOTES: Kerr dropped to 11-7 in her career with the 54-hole lead...Next week is the CVS/pharmacy LPGA Challenge, where Sophie Gustafson won last year.

Great service and a warm and friendly atmosphere. I imagine their afternoon tea service in the beautiful lounge is worth a try... | ||
Sandra from Pembroke, Bermuda would recommend this hotel to a friend |
The staff are extremely friendly and efficient, they made us feel very welcome and our every request was dealt with speedily and with a smile. Our room was cosy and bright. The bed unfortunately was uncomfortable, the first time I have had this problem in a hotel as generally I'm not fussy about a hard or soft mattress. This one however was lumpy. It's a measure of the wonderful atmosphere of this hotel that despite not sleeping well as a result of an uncomfortable bed, we actually would go back (and ask for a comfortable bed the next time). | ||

Gary J. Lye, Parviz Ayazi-Shamlou, Frank Baganz, Paul A. Dalby and John M. Woodley
AbstractMicroscale processing techniques are rapidly emerging as a means to increase the speed of bioprocess design and reduce material requirements. Automation of these techniques can reduce labour intensity and enable a wider range of process variables to be examined. This article examines recent research on various individual microscale unit operations including microbial fermentation, bioconversion and product recovery techniques. It also explores the potential of automated whole process sequences operated in microwell formats. The power of the whole process approach is illustrated by reference to a particular bioconversion, namely the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of bicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-6-one for the production of optically pure lactones.

AbstractFor bioprocess optimization, plug-flow behaviour is an option in many cases. However, many bioprocesses require oxygen to be supplied into the bioreactor. Plug-flow-like behaviour with aeration is feasible in a series of bioreactors. This article reviews the range of aerated bioreactors available for the approximation of plug-flow behaviour and introduces a new type of serial air-lift bioreactor. The optimal design of cascades of serial bioreactors is also discussed.

The development and applications of thermal biosensors for bioprocess monitoring
Kumaran Ramanathan, Morten Rank, Juraj Svitel, Anatoli Dzgoev and Bengt Danielsson
Enzyme thermistors are biosensors that use thermal resistors to measure the heat change caused by an enzymatic reaction. They combine the selectivity of enzymes with the sensitivity of biosensors and allow continuous analysis in a flow-injection mode. They can be used to monitor fermentation systems, biocatalysis, enzyme-catalysed synthesis and clinical and food technology. This article gives an overview of the general principles of enzyme thermistors, the sampling process and the ongoing developments in the field of bioprocess monitoring.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- In its fifth-annual study of outbound email and data loss prevention issues ( http://www.proofpoint.com/outbound ), Proofpoint, Inc. found that large enterprises continue to incur risk from -- and take action against -- information leaks over outbound email, as well as newer communications media such as blogs, message boards, media sharing sites and mobile devices.
Outbound email remains a key source of risk for U.S. enterprises with a record 44% of surveyed companies reporting that they investigated an email leak of confidential information in the past 12 months. 41% of the largest companies surveyed (those with 20,000 or more employees) reported that they employ staff to read or otherwise analyze the contents of outbound email. 22% of these companies said they employ staff primarily or exclusively for this purpose. Other key findings in the survey include:
-- 40% of companies surveyed investigated an email-based violation of privacy or data protection regulations in the past 12 months. -- 26% of companies surveyed terminated an employee for violating email policies in the last 12 months. -- 23% of U.S. companies surveyed said their business was impacted by the exposure of sensitive or embarrassing information in the last 12 months. -- 34% of the largest companies (20,000 employees or more) reported that employee email was subpoenaed in the last 12 months.
Email is not the only source of risk for information leakage, however. Respondents to the survey indicated significant risk resulting from employee use of blogs, message boards and media sharing sites (such as YouTube), as well as mobile devices. Some of the key findings include:
-- 27% of companies surveyed had investigated the exposure of confidential, sensitive or private information from lost or stolen mobile devices in the past 12 months. -- 11% of U.S. companies surveyed disciplined employees for improper use of blogs/message boards in the past 12 months. -- 13% of surveyed companies disciplined employees for social network violations and 14% for improper use of media sharing sites in the past 12 months. -- 14% of publicly traded companies surveyed had investigated the exposure of material financial information (such as unannounced financial results) on blogs or message board postings in the last 12 months.

Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer over ∼130 Basepairs in Hyperstable Lac Repressor-DNA Loops Biophysical Journal, Volume 84, Issue 2, 1 February 2003, Pages 1131-1145 Laurence M. Edelman, Raymond Cheong and Jason D. Kahn Abstract Lac repressor (LacI) binds two operator DNA sites, looping the intervening DNA. DNA molecules containing two lac operators bracketing a sequence-directed bend were previously shown to form hyperstable LacI-looped complexes. Biochemical studies suggested that orienting the operators outward relative to the bend direction (in construct 9C14) stabilizes a positively supercoiled closed form, with a V-shaped LacI, but that the most stable loop construct (11C12) is a more open form. Here, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is measured on DNA loops, between fluorescein and TAMRA attached near the two operators, ∼130 basepairs apart. For 9C14, efficient LacI-induced energy transfer (∼74% based on donor quenching) confirms that the designed DNA shape can force the looped complex into a closed form. From enhanced acceptor emission, correcting for observed donor-dependent quenching of acceptor fluorescence, ∼52% transfer was observed. Time-resolved FRET suggests that this complex exists in both closed- and open form populations. Less efficient transfer, ∼10%, was detected for DNA-LacI sandwiches and 11C12-LacI, consistent with an open form loop. This demonstration of long-range FRET in large DNA loops confirms that appropriate DNA design can control loop geometry. LacI flexibility may allow it to maintain looping with other proteins bound or under different intracellular conditions. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (666 kb) |
Mechanisms of Receptor/Coreceptor-Mediated Entry of Enveloped Viruses Biophysical Journal, Volume 96, Issue 7, 8 April 2009, Pages 2624-2636 Sarah A. Nowak and Tom Chou Abstract Enveloped viruses enter host cells either through endocytosis, or by direct fusion of the viral envelope and the membrane of the host cell. However, some viruses, such as HIV-1, HSV-1, and Epstein-Barr can enter a cell through either mechanism, with the choice of pathway often a function of the ambient physical chemical conditions, such as temperature and pH. We develop a stochastic model that describes the entry process at the level of binding of viral glycoprotein spikes to cell membrane receptors and coreceptors. In our model, receptors attach the cell membrane to the viral membrane, while subsequent binding of coreceptors enables fusion. The model quantifies the competition between fusion and endocytotic entry pathways. Relative probabilities for each pathway are computed numerically, as well as analytically in the high viral spike density limit. We delineate parameter regimes in which fusion or endocytosis is dominant. These parameters are related to measurable and potentially controllable quantities such as membrane bending rigidity and receptor, coreceptor, and viral spike densities. Experimental implications of our mechanistic hypotheses are proposed and discussed. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1387 kb) |
Anchoring Nascent RNA to the DNA Template Could Interfere with Transcription Biophysical Journal, Volume 100, Issue 3, 2 February 2011, Pages 675-684 Boris P. Belotserkovskii and Philip C. Hanawalt Abstract During normal transcription, the nascent RNA product is released from the DNA template. However, in some cases, the RNA remains bound or can become reattached to the template DNA duplex (for example, through R-loop formation). We have analyzed the effect on transcription elongation of nascent RNA anchoring to the template DNA duplex. Because the RNA polymerase follows a helical path along DNA duplex during transcription, the anchoring would result in wrapping the nascent RNA around the DNA in the region between the anchoring point and the translocating polymerase. This wrapping would cause an unfavorable loss of conformation entropy of the nascent RNA. It consequently would create an apparent force to unwrap the RNA by disrupting either the transcription complex or the anchoring structure. We have estimated that this force would be comparable to those required to melt nucleic acid duplexes or to arrest transcription elongation in single-molecule experiments. We predict that this force would create negative supercoiling in the DNA duplex region between the anchoring point and the transcribing RNA polymerase: this can promote the formation of unusual DNA structures and facilitate RNA invasion into the DNA duplex. Potential biological consequences of these effects are discussed. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (270 kb) |

The protein-DNA complex, involved in the lac operon of enteric bacteria, is paradigmatic in understanding the extent of DNA bending and plasticity due to interactions with protein assemblies acting as DNA regulators. For the lac operon, two classes of structures have been proposed: 1), with the protein tetramer lying away from the DNA loop (wrapped-away model); and 2), with the protein tetramer lying inside the DNA loop (wrapped-around model). A recently developed electrostatic analytical model shows that the size and net charge of the Lac protein tetramer allow the bending of DNA, which is consistent with another wrapped-around model from the literature. Coarse-grained models, designed based on this observation, are extensively investigated and show three kinds of wrapped-around arrangements of DNA and a lower propensity for wrapped-away configurations. Molecular dynamics simulations of an all-atom model, built on the basis of the most tightly collapsed coarse-grained model, show that most of the DNA double-helical architecture is maintained in the region between O3 and O1 DNA operators, that the DNA distortion is concentrated in the chain beyond the O1 operator, and that the protein tetramer can adapt the N-terminal domains to the DNA tension.

2nd March 2014Aargh, Jim lad! Hoist the parrot and feed the Jolly Roger. It's pirate time!
We tend not to think of the 18th century as being a great time for pirates and for most of it that is true. But up until 1725 there were plenty of pirates still on active duty.
Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard, is probably the most famous but the Dread Pirate Bartholomew Roberts also rates a mention as do several of his contemporaries. The two best known female pirates - Anne Bonny and Mary Read - both belong to this period.
For your delectation therefore I present to you Pirates of the 18th Century.
Have fun.

Hola me amigos! If you are a fifth grader at Broken Arrow then you are reading My Brother Sam is Dead. (P.S. Sam dies!) I would not recommend this book to you because it goes by really slowly. Also it is boring. Now, this may just because I do not reading about the Revolutionary War, but in my opinion it is not really good. If you are bored to death, then read this book. If not, then do not read it.
It is told in the point of view of young Tim Meeker. When his older brother Sam comes back home from college wearing a Rebel uniform, Tim knew that he and their father were going to get into a huge fight. The Meeker family lived in Tory country, Redding, Connecticut. Sam goes into the war while Tim is left to care for the animals and clean the tavern all by himself. When Tim and his father go to the Hudson River for the first time together, Tim's father said that there may be cow-boys. Will they make it home OK? Will Sam live?(NO!) Do not read the book to find out!

Pokemon: FireRed is a Role-Playing/Third-Person 2D RPG video game for Game Boy Advance developed and published by Nintendo on September 7, 2004. It's rated Everyone by the ESRB and 383 of our users have voted it 4.4 out of 5 stars.
Our newest cheats for Pokemon: FireRed were added October 25, 2013.
Go to CERULEAN CITY then go up to the house with the backyard and go to the top flowers the last one and hit A or with the VisualBoyAdvance Z.
There is a shiny Onix on victory road. It looks golden.
You must have the National Dex to do this. Go to Five Island and head to Resort Gorgeous. There are 2 Ladies there, Lady Gillian and another one whose name escapes me. The one lady has a Lv. 48 Hoppip and a Lv. 50 Skiploom, and both have Nuggets. Gillian has 2 Lv. 47 Mareeps that both have Stardusts, and a Lv. 49 Flaaffy that has a Nugget. Gillian gives Y9800 for beating her and the other lady gives Y10000. If you use the Amulet Coin, these double to Y19600 and Y20000. So, have a level 100 Alakazam with Trick and another Pok�mon with an Amulet Coin and you will rack up money like crazy.
Delibird can be found in Icefall Cave on Four Island. FireRed only!!!
10 caught Pokemon: Route 2 gate; HM05 (Flash) 20 caught Pokemon: Route 10 Pokemon Center; Everstone 30 caught Pokemon: Route 11 gate; Itemfinder 40 caught Pokemon: Route 16 gate; Amulet Coin 50 caught Pokemon: Route 15 gate; Exp. Share
To get past the four guards go to Celadon city and in the mansion and talk to the old lady then she will give you tea. Go to the guards they will ask for the tea give it to them and they will let you through. All guards will let you through even the ones who you didn't give the tea to.
When At Any Pokemart, Go to the little sheet and say Link Together With All. The Owner will say somethings. Save and Restart. The mystery gift will be under the new game.
If you want to have a really strong team to prepare for the Elite Four, and you have all three starter pokemon, you should have venusaur learn Frenzy Plant and SolarBeam, Charizard learn Blast Burn and Fire Blast, and Blastoise learn Hydro Cannon and Hydro Pump. Blast Burn, Hydro Cannon, and Frenzy Plant are like the fire, water, and grass versions of Hyper Beam and cause as much damage as Hyper Beam (not counting weaknesses and strengths).
Ok if you are in need of cash best way to get extra. $$$. Is to catch a MEOWTH as early as possible in the game, you can get one in CERULEAN CITY just before you get to the pokemaniac BILL. I got mine in lv10 aside from having the ability to pick up items including NUGGETS. It will lern PAY DAY which at LV20 will give you an extra $100 cash for everytime is use and it will go up $5 a LV. So if you use it 10 times in a poke battle at LV20 you will get an extra $1000.
Okay, in the safari zone, you have a limit of about 600 steps. So, if you are repeatedly spending money trying to get a chansey or tauras, this is the trick to getting them without losing steps. All you do is go to the area you want, for example, area two. Then go into any patch of grass or water, and lightly tap the pad in any direction. If you tap the pad light, then you will turn and face the direction you tapped, and you will not move. And, you still get Pokemon! Once you've caught the pokemon you desire, you can just hit start and retire.
You beat the Elite Four twice then sail to island 1 and fix the net work machine.
This Strategy helped me beat 5 out of 8 gym leaders, Make sure that your party has Lapras, that the Lapras knows knows Perish Song, and that the Lapras has high speed or is holding Quick Claw. This only worked part of the time, but use your other Pokemon to get the Leader down to one Pokemon so he can't switch pokemon, then switch to Lapras, and use Lapras's Perish Song, so the leader's pokemon will faint in 3 turns. If you don't want to lose Lapras, switch it out and use your Pokemon with a strength against the leader's, or with high HP because the leader's pokemon will use it's most powerful attack, in a feeble chance to win.
Computer Analyzed Gameboy Anvanced Recommendation System
According to the C. A . G . A . R . S System, the recommended six party pokemon team and moves are:
Charizard (Fire, Flying)-
Fly, Blastburn, Flamethrower, Dragon Claw
Raichu (Electric)-
Thunderbolt, Thunder, Double Team, Body Slam
Nidoking (Poison, Ground)-
Toxic, Horn Drill, Earthquake, Sludge Bomb
Lapras (Water, Ice)-
Ice Beam, Surf, Sheer Cold, Hydro Pump
Golem (Rock, Ground)-
Earthquake, Explosion, Double-Edge, Mega Kick
Blissey (Normal)-
Psychic, Fire Blast, Thunder, Softboiled
If you have unlocked the first three of the Sevii Islands, go to One Island and head to Mt. Ember. Search the area after the first trainer battle inside Mt. Ember for a shiny Rapidash. It is a Cream-color with Blue flames, and it'll be at level 39. Also, there is a path where you can go through the grass to get an ether. Look through the grass to find a level 38 shiny Fearow. It'll have the Pokerus disease and is a bright gold color.
So basically the 3 starters are Charmander,
Squirtle, and Bulbasaur.
Charmander: Best choice if you want ATK power,
plus, He learns good moves, and the first 2 gyms
you may have trouble with, but they won't know
any powerful moves. Have other pokemon to help you
Squirtle: Okay choice, but you'll want to have
other pokemon, Squirtle has a solid DEF, but he
won't learn many good attacks, so you may have
Bulbasaur: worst choice, because he doesn't have
alot of strong points, and too many weakneses.
although he can't be poisoned, his move list is
rather pathetic.
Surf south from Fuschia until you hit a barrier. Then, Surf west to the Seafoam Islands. When you see boulders, push them into the pits to reach the legendary bird Articuno.
First, make sure you have beaten the Elite Four twice. Next, catch a Wobbuffet in Cerulean Cave. Its Shadow Tag keeps the Legendary dog from escaping. Use moves like Counter to weaken it.
Go to the island with the volcano on it. Once you get to the volcano, go to the very top. You will see a bird that looks like its wings are on fire. Before you confront it, you should make sure you have some ultra balls. About 50 of them. Save the game before you confront it. That way if you accidentally kill Moltres, or you run out of Ultra Balls, you can just shut of the game and try again.
To get more Rare Candies, look for some Meowths. You are 30% likely to get one
Go to Two Island and go to the house where the lady teaches you the special move. Go behind her house. Walk foreword until there is rooom for one more step. Then press "A". (It is hidden)
When you have Action Replay for GBA they will have cheats that you can give the game. Once you have checked it off start the game and all of your pokedexes will be complete.
When you beat the pokemon league, later on, go to 2 island and go to the tent mart. The clerk will sell lavacookie, timer ball, and repeat ball.
Zapdos is found near the rock tunnel. Right on top of the rock tunnel is a patch of grass. There is a lake on top of the grass. Surf on that lake. Then you get to an abandoned power plant. Then go to the back of it. And there lies a level 50 Zapdos.
After you beat Blaine, say yes to Bill's offer. He will take you to One Island. After you hear what his friend Felix has to say, walk back down to the ship and go to three island. On the beach part of the island, you will see a cave opening. go through the cave and you will find a small patch of grass. This is the only place you can catch Dunsparce!!! Though it is a pretty useless pokemon to battle with...
To Duplicate Eevee, go to the four island and make sure you have a Ditto. Put Eevee and Ditto in the day care center, so you can get an egg. To hatch the egg ride your bike up and down cycle hill.
To get a Master Ball you have to have gotten the Tea from the Old Lady in Pokemon Mansion(first floor front entrance). After you get to Saffron City, train your Pokemon until they are around Level 30-35 so when you face your Rival they will be all around level 40. After you get the card key, go down to the second floor and go to a room all the way on the left. Step on one of the teleport tiles and it will take you to a small room with a man who will give you Lapras and your Rival. AFter you fight your rival and get the Lapras go into the teleportation tile and it will take you to the eleventh floor where you will fight Giovanni(Team Rocket Boss) and a Rocket Grunt. YOu should be able to wipe out Giovanni if you have a really powerfull water or grass pokemon (Blastoise or Venusaur). AFter defeating Giovanni go talk to the President and he will give you the Master Ball. Master Ball will catch any Pokemon without fail and no matter what the HP. Also, you should save the Master Ball until you get to either the THree Legendary Dogs or Mewtwo.
When you choose your starter, later on in the game, depending on your choice, you will have the chance to catch a legendary dog. The dog you will receive has an element that adds a strength to your Pokemon. * Squirtle: Raikou * Bulbasaur: Entei * Charmander: Suicune
You can only go to the Unknown Cave after you beat the elite four the second time and fix the machine in Island 1. Head to Cerulean City and go north and Once you've crossed the bridge, go surf on the left a path and you will see a cave. It filled with powerful Pokemon level 40 and 50 or more. At the end of the cave a legendary Pokemon - a level 70 Mewtwo.
These are the prizes you can get for exchange coins beside the Game Corner in Celadon City.
Left side counter Smokeball 800 coins Charcoal 1000 coins Mystic water 1000 coins Miracle seed 1000 coins Yellow Flute 1600 coins Middle side Counter Abra 120 coins Clefairy 750 coins Pinsir 2500 coins Dratini 4600 coins Porygon 6500 coins Right side Counter TM 13 4000 coins TM 23 3500 coins TM 24 4000 coins TM 30 4500 coins TM 35 4000 coins
Pikachu -> Raichu - Thunder Stone Nidorina -> Nidoqueen - Moon Stone Nidorino -> Nidoking - Moon Stone Growlithe -> Arcanine - Fire Stone Poliwhirl -> Poliwrath - Water Stone Weepinbell -> Victrebell - Leaf Stone Shellder -> Cloyster - Water Stone Exeggcute -> Exeggcutor - Leaf Stone Clefairy -> Clefable - Moon Stone Jigglypuff ->Wigglytuff - Moon Stone Vulpix -> Ninetales - Fire Stone Eevee -> Vaporeon - Water Stone Eevee -> Jolteon - Thunder Stone Eevee -> Flareon - Fire Stone Staryu -> Starmie - Water Stone Skitty -> Delcatty - Moon Stone Lombre -> Ludicolo - Water Stone Nuzleaf -> Shiftry - Leaf Stone
To do this you must have 2 gameboy advances(Or GBA player/ GBA SP) and 2 copies of Fire Red, or A copy of Fire Red, and a copy of Leaf Green. 1st, start both games, then pick a starter pokemon. Catch 1 other pokemon. Then, in the games, get to a part where you can trade, and trade your starter pokemon into the other game. Keep erasing and restarting your game, until in 1 game, a person is equipped with 2 Charmander, 2 squirtle, and 2 Bulbasaur. The other game should have any 1 pokemon. Trade back one of each, and you will have all 3 starter pokemon! (You can also use Ruby/Saphire as a storage unit for this trick, but that requires a normal link cable, and the pokemon will NOT show up on the pokedex!)
There is a special attack that your pokemon can learn. It has to your begginer pokemon though. They each have the same power points (150) and accuracy (90). Blastoise learns Hydrocannon, Charizard learn BlastBurn, and Venasaur learns Frenzyplant. They don't learn it on their own. To get this move you have to go to two island and somewhere after their there is a lady who says that she an attack thats like the future a sight or something like that. But make sure your starter pokemon is in front.

Ranking the Biggest Free Agency Priorities for St. Louis Rams
By Dan Gruchala ,
The St. Louis Rams, being as close to the salary cap as they are, will not be able to bring in six starters through free agency like they did in 2012.
Most estimates suggest that the Rams will have roughly $10 million in cap space once the free agency signing period begins on March 12.
But keep in mind they will need to use a sizable chunk of that money to sign their draft picks and any of their own free agents they wish to bring back.
The Rams need to fill seven holes in their roster this offseason: offensive tackle, offensive guard, safety, tight end, wide receiver, running back and kick returner. Fortunately for them, they possess four of the first 78 picks in the draft—more than any other team.
With another solid draft, the Rams should get four starters out of those picks, and they may kill two birds with one stone if they draft a wide receiver who could also perform kick return duties (Cordarrelle Patterson?).
But that still leaves two to three holes the Rams will have to fill with free-agent signings.
Let's see if we can help them out by prioritizing the needs they should look to address through free agency.
The Madden curse has to end sometime, right?
Ever since the 2010 season in which he ran for 1,177 yards and 11 touchdowns and caught 61 passes for 477 yards, Peyton Hillis has been a shadow of his former self.
Like all victims of the fabled Madden curse, Hillis has been plagued by injuries since appearing on the infamous video game cover. He missed six games in 2011 and suffered a high ankle sprain early in the 2012 season that limited his effectiveness in nearly every game he played afterward.
Hillis' 2012 stats (85 carries for 309 yards and one touchdown) are weak enough to ensure that he won't make much if any more than the league minimum in 2013. If the Rams need to replace Steven Jackson with a big bruiser, Peyton Hillis could potentially fill that role quite nicely while only requiring a minimal financial risk.
Sure, Hillis has earned the reputation as a less-than desirable teammate, but if the Rams were willing to take a chance on Titus Young, why not Hillis? The upside is huge and the risk is practically nonexistent.
However, the Rams may be perfectly happy to enter the 2013 season without making a move to add another running back even if Jackson opts out.
Jackson's exit could pave the way for the New York Jets' 2012 sixth round selection, Terrance Ganaway—whom the Rams picked up after the Jets cut him just prior to the 2012 season—to assume the big, bruising running back role.
Ganaway was no joke in college. In his final season at Baylor, he led the Big 12 in rushing before putting an emphatic exclamation point on his season with 200 yards and five touchdowns in the Alamo Bowl.
At 6'0" and 239 pounds, Ganaway has the size to fill Jackson's role. And, in a refreshing story, it appears he has a much clearer and more focused head on his shoulders than many NFL players.
But, if Jackson opts out and the Rams aren't entirely sold on Ganaway's ability to contribute in 2013, Peyton Hillis is the type of back they will need with a price tag that will fit their narrow budget.
As a team need, wide receiver ranks No. 1 or No. 2.
But, considering the Rams salary cap situation, the considerable price tags that are likely to be attached to Greg Jennings and Dwayne Bowe and the enormous drop-off in value after the top three free agent wideouts (including Mike Wallace, whom the Rams shouldn't consider because they already have a burner in Chris Givens), the Rams are not likely to be major players in the wide receiver free-agent market.
But, if they can somehow free up the cash and come to realize the benefit of bringing in an established No.1 instead of drafting another rookie who may or may not meet expectations, Greg Jennings would look awfully good in the blue and gold.
Despite their indisputable need for more explosiveness on offense, the Rams are reportedly not interested in pursuing Jennings or Bowe (per Sports Illustrated's Don Banks):
If St. Louis does lose Amendola, it doesn't mean they're going to be in the chase for a big-name, big-money free agent receiver like Greg Jennings or Dwayne Bowe. That's not in the plan for the Rams, who consider Jennings an injury risk himself after his 2012 season, and like many teams are wary of Bowe's decreased effort level after he earns a big payday.
It's hard to fault their logic with Bowe, as he has displayed a disconcertingly low level of effort multiple times throughout his career, but proclaiming Jennings to be an injury risk is a bit of a reach.
Yes, Jennings missed three games in 2011 with a knee injury and eight games in 2012 with a sports hernia, but before that he played in 16 games for three straight years.
If they are willing to give $6 million or so for Danny Amendola (who has played in 16 games only once) it would be illogical not to instead give Jennings $2 to $3 million more to come in and be an immediate upgrade over anyone the Rams have had at the wide receiver position since Torry Holt left for Jacksonville in 2009.
There is no denying the Rams' need for a safety. They could possibly need two of them if Quintin Mikell becomes a salary-cap casualty.
In 2012, Mikell proved himself to be one of if not the best "box" safeties in the league. Ideally, the Rams would pay him his 2013 salary and then use the draft to provide a "center fielder" at the free safety position.
The 2013 NFL draft is rich in safety talent, so rich, in fact, that even if the Rams cut ties with Mikell, they may choose to fill both safety positions with rookies.
However, if the brain trust is reluctant to have rookies at both starting safety positions, there is one free agent at whom they would surely take a hard look.
William Moore played strong safety for the Atlanta Falcons in 2012, but his 11 interceptions in three seasons as a starter have shown he has the range and the ball-hawking proclivities to excel at the free safety position.
And he couldn't have stronger ties to the state of Missouri. He grew up in Hayti, a small town on the eastern edge of Missouri's boot heel, then spent his college years at Mizzou.
What separates Moore from Jarius Byrd, the prize of the free agent safeties, is Moore's injury history. He has missed eight games in the last three seasons, not Danny Amendola-like, but concerning nonetheless.
His injury concerns may cause him to fall into the Rams' price range. If the Rams cut ties with Mikell, they couldn't find a more talented, versatile replacement than William Moore.
With an offense nearly devoid of explosiveness, field position is a hugely important factor for the Rams. The best way to "flip the field" on the opposing team is to have a dynamic kick returner who can make people miss with the ball in his hands, something the Rams have not had in a very long time.
This is a need the Rams may have a good chance to address via free agency; There are a few quality names out there who shouldn't require a steep financial commitment to reel in.
Ted Ginn Jr. represents not only a proven and dynamic return specialist, but also an opportunity to weaken a divisional opponent. Ginn is coming off of a one-year $1.375 million contract and his worst year as a receiver statistically. If the Rams can lure him to St. Louis with a similar if slightly larger contract, it might be the steal of the offseason.
Cleveland's Joshua Cribbs is also a free agent. His recent concussion issues may give some teams pause, but they may also drive down his asking price.
Leodis McKelvin, ranked as the most effective kick returner in the league by Pro Football Focus, is also a free agent. His contract will likely be the steepest, but he would be worth it if the Rams have the cash.
Be it through the draft or free agency, the Rams have to find someone who can not only fill this role, but excel in it.
All Lance Kendricks criticism aside, the Rams need him to become an offensive force in 2013. With the NFL having become a league in which two tight ends capable of functioning as legitimate offensive weapons are necessary, they also need to add another player at the position who holds that potential.
There are two top-tier tight end prospects in the draft: Stanford's Zach Ertz and Notre Dame's Tyler Eifert. With the Rams having more pressing needs at offensive line, safety and wide receiver, they are not likely to use a first-round pick on either player, and neither player is expected to be available when the Rams second-round selection (46th overall) comes up.
Consequently, the Rams could be serious players in the tight end free-agent market.
Tennessee's Jared Cook is the most intriguing prospect of the group. Jeff Fisher selected him in the third round of the 2009 draft, so we know the coaching staff likes him. His play-making ability and athleticism have both been widely lauded, and it's possible that he is no longer very happy in Tennessee, having finished a disappointingly-low 24th among NFL tight ends in targeted passes.
The New York Jets' Dustin Keller is another possibility, as is the Giants' Martellus Bennett and the Oakland's Brandon Myers.
It is well established that Jeff Fisher has never taken an offensive tackle in the first round of the draft, preferring instead to coach up a later-round pick.
But what about bringing one in through free agency?
If this is an avenue that Fisher and Rams' GM Les Snead choose to pursue, they will doubtless take a long look at Minnesota's Phil Loadholt.
Loadholt stands 6'8" and weighs 343 pounds, a mountain of a human being.
He is known as a prolific run blocker who struggles at times in pass protection, not exactly ideal—with protecting Sam Bradford being high up on the Rams list of priorities, but those pass protection struggles combined with the general sense that Loadholt (per Tom Pelissero of ESPN1500.com) "doesn't appear to be ascending among the NFL's best at his position," could cause his contract demands to fall into the area of affordability for the Rams.
Loadholt also played with Sam Bradford at Oklahoma, part of the stellar offensive line that played a major role in Bradford's success by keeping his jersey clean thereby allowing him to carve up opposing defenses.
New England's Sebastian Vollmer is another tackle whom the Rams may consider, though his contract demands are expected to be higher than Loadholt's.
Cincinnati's Andre Smith was recently arrested for attempting to board a plane with a loaded gun in his carry-on bag. He's not going to win any awards for his intellect, but the incident may have lowered his value enough to allow the Rams to contend for his services.
Other options for the Rams include Detroit's Gosder Cherilus and the New York Giants' Will Beatty.
The Rams' top two offseason priorities revolve around Bradford. Providing him with more weapons and better protection are both equally essential pieces of 2013 success for St. Louis' gridiron heroes.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Except he doesn't call it a bug. They are going to "change the effect." This sounds like "we listened to the mage community feedback about how putting all freezing effects on the same DR would break the frost tree for pvp, but we don't want to admit it, because to admit that we listened would admit that we really don't know what we're doing with the mage class at all, because we thought this was balanced."
Maybe I'm just cynical.

Enterprises have a variety of choices when deploying big data applications in the cloud, and the amount of choices continues to rise. Having more choices means IT teams have some important decisions as well. Should they rely on a cloud appliance or build the necessary infrastructure themselves?
The first wave of big data cloud appliances started to hit the market last year. Cloudera Inc., EMC Corp., Yahoo spinoff Hortonworks Inc., Infobright Inc., MapR Technologies and YottaStor all entered the game.
Using a big data appliance could have several advantages for enterprises, first of which is convenience. But often the high cost of third-party big data tools refutes that benefit.
"Vendors configuring these types of appliances have deep, direct experience with big data analytics, so they try to put together appliances with the appropriate storage, memory, bandwidth -- the networking aspects required of big data are often overlooked -- and software," said Evan Quinn, analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. As a result, IT shops no longer have to determine how to configure the system.
In addition, appliances often come wrapped with management software and maintenance services that not only focus on appliance hardware but also help enterprises meet business objectives.
"To be successful, a big data project needs to deliver a compelling business benefit," said Charles Zedlewski, vice president of products at Cloudera. "Sometimes, enterprises focus on their technical elegance and do not have clear business objectives."

There are some potential downsides to big data tools, including security concerns. Companies involved in financial services and health care may not want to put their data on a third-party provider's cloud.
Additionally, performance can suffer. Big data vendors typically offer generic platforms that may not be optimal for a company's unique application.
Cost can be another issue. "There are huge variations in price, starting at $10,000 and sometimes [reaching] well over $1 million," said Zedlewski.
While big data cloud appliances simplify deployments, they are not simple drop-in systems. There are several support and maintenance issues. IT shops need to track versioning issues; they still have to get data into a big data tool and mine results from the appliance. Therefore, enterprises need to put procedures in place to back up and migrate data as it changes.
ESG found that, while big data cloud appliances represent a minority of implementations -- about 10% to 15% -- that number is rising. "Over the coming 12 to 24 months, I expect big data vendors to come up with more compelling cloud appliance offerings," added Quinn.
