Salamence has always seemed like the best because of its stats, and Garchomp too since it's always banned as Uber. But Dragonite will always be my favorite, with Flygon next. :x
Well, my Dragonite got her butt kicked by a Kingdra's Ice Beam, despite having a Yache Berry, so I'm gonna go with Kingdra.

A good recovery move
And is pretty speedy to boot

Well I've loved Dragonite ever since I first saw Lance throw it out back when I was a little boy playing pokemon red, but I do have say that Kingdra types do provide resistances that other dragons don't. But I like Dragonite, so I'm going to say Dragonite is the best dragon, nay the best pokemon ever (I'm also biased, it's fun).

I think that salamance is the best.

Dragonite. Tough, hits hard, Speed is good enough, learns tons of things, and its just so lovable. You know you'd give it a hug.
My fav is dragonaire because it is just so majestic.
They are all cool! I think I'll say Garchomp for Gen 1-4, it is really good and has nearly unresisted STAB moves.

Garchomp is actually the best competitive battling-wise.

Memories Are The Only Things Which Are Truly Eternal
if used right Garchomp
What don't people understand about "older gens"?
Anyway, for sweeping potential, DDmence is best, alongside DDnite if pulled off correctly. Nite has special bulk over Mence, which too many people overlook without considering.
Flygons never worked for me, all it does is force switches, and Kingdra is far too easily walled by the likes of Blissey and Regice.
I don't play 4th Gen or 5th Gen.

Each is special in their own way, however the One Dragon who has made the difference in a critical battle has been my Salamence. Run a Naive Nature with 252 Spd and you'll outrun Garchomp (unless Chomp is Naive/Jolly). Most people I have seen using Chomp run an Adamant Nature Chomp, and that is what gives Mence the edge. Salamences Stats are just in the Right place, 135 Atk, 110 SAtk, 100 Spd, and the second most diverse movepool of all the dragons (Dragonite has the most diverse). Salamence can really destroy a team.

Gonna choose garchomp with this set
Garchomp (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Veil
EVs: 255 Atk / 255 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Substitute
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Dragon Claw
NOTE: Sandstorm needed :P
The Passion Of Waters
Pokemon White Team
Haxorus, has swords dance and a 147 base attack and is very fast so it bests them all
Salamence and Garchomp are faster than Haxorus. Garchomp has a base 102 Speed and Salamence has a Base 100 while Haxorus has a Base 97 speed.
One thing I have to say is, it doesn't matter about how high their attacks are, the one to hit first with a Dragon Attack (Dragon -v- Dragon) is going to win, except now for maybe, Dragonite and Multiscale. Multiscale is pretty much the only reason Dragonite is still OU in the 5th gen because Mence and Chomp in the 4th made Dragonite look bad. Combine Dragonites Bulk with its ridiculous Attack, tag on Multiscale and Dragonite is a formidable opponent now...
wascos1Friend Code:0948-1608-2091

I'd say Dragonite since it's heavily diversed than its other Dragon-type counterparts.
You guys do realize all other dragons are chanceless in a battle against garchomp? It outspeeds and one hits all of them.
Haxorus adamant natured with choice scarf is beast
but overall Garchomp or Salamance is the best. Haxorus is up there too^^

R&R door LATCH
How do I get the driver door LATCH disconnected from the rods? I have everything else out and pulled back. The clips are holding the rod like a starving alligator.

OK...here's what I did next:
I'd copy/post the text but this forum doesn't seem to allow it.??? Anyway, that's the thread with the info. Next step is to clean up the old latch and see what exactly is wrong with it. Then, replace it with a new one, or repaired original. I'll try to take pics and document the procedure.Last edited by dallas916; 01-05-2010 at 02:41 PM.

Just to add to the info:
I got the rods off by inserting a flat scewdriver into the clips and forcing them open a bit, then using pliers I forced the end of the rods through the hole (one jaw against the rod tip, the other against the clip). I wrestled the latch out through the access hole right below it.
I cleaned and lubed the latch mechanism (several times) and it seems to work as it should. All the rod connections will activate their respective levers and those will activate their respective alter-direction levers. From the outside handle lever the spring loaded "cam" will push the latch release part past the latching piece, and it will open the door (simulated). From the innner handle rod lever it will push the "cam" far enough to push the latch release piece out of the way of the latching piece. It is, however, very, very stiff.
I attached the inner rod to see how much travel it requires....only about 3/8" horizontally to move the lever enough to move the "cam" and release the latch. The inner handle actually looks solid, and it has much more travel ability than what is required to move the latch lever 3/8". The inner handle stuck out a little before I started this adventure, but would move fully inward by pulling the rod toward the latch. Ie, the handle doesn't seem to be the problem because it can move fully. I put pressure on the handle lever on the inside while I moved the handle to see if it bent or "gave way". It didn't. So, maybe the handle is ok (of course..that's the cheapest part of the mix).
I cleaned and inspected the inner rod. Seems ok, but I have no way of knowing just how long it should really be due to the numerous bends. I also have no way of knowing if it is "giving way" (flexing?) too much to force proper movement of the latch lever(s). I guess I'll have to find a new one to compare it with.
Back to the latch: Since I don't know how stiff this mechanism is supposed to be without being installed and set up properly I guess I'll have to find a new one of these (probably at a dealer since no one local seems to have new ones) and play with it. I have heard of sloppy or worn out springs, but this does not seem to be the problem since it takes a lot of pressure to move the parts by hand. Maybe too much pressure. BUT.....BUT...if it so stiff and pushes back so hard against manual operation, why doesn't it push the inner rod back far enough to fully close the inner handle??????
The outer handle worked and returned to its position perfectly (at least it did before I got hold of and took it out). Soooooo..the outer handle does everything correct, but the inner portion of the mechanism resisted complete opening operation...even though they appear to work with sufficient pressure manually. Maybe it is that dang rod. I should be so lucky!

In Chicago and Northern Illinois
CHICAGO, IL – February 15, 2011 - The Better Business Bureau (BBB) serving Chicago and Northern Illinois is warning consumers who are considering using a company operating as Shipping Express Philippines, 5009 N. Tripp Ave. in Chicago. A review of consumer complaints filed shows a pattern of consumer allegations. Since August 11, 2010 - 33 complaints have been filed against this company and 17 of those complaints are currently pending.
Consumers allege that items sent through Shipping Express Philippines have not been received at their destinations. According to consumers, the company has provided no explanation regarding these delayed deliveries. Consumers also allege that they have not been able to reach the company's offices in the United States and the Philippines. They claim the US phone number goes directly to a full voicemail box and there is no staff at the company's office to answer their inquiries. Additionally, consumers allege that calls to the company's office in the Philippines were answered by a third party who claimed the company had moved.
"Inquiries into freight forwarding increased 29-percent in the last 12 months," said Steve J. Bernas, president & CEO of the Better Business Bureau serving Chicago and Northern Illinois.
John Dauz of Lombard stated, "I paid them $50 to ship six pairs of shoes to my family in the Philippines for Christmas. They were supposed to get there by November 10th. I called when they did not get there and they said the package was delayed in Customs. They said it would get there during the month of November. It did not get there and that was the last time they ever answered the phone."
Nena Lazar of Arlington Heights said, "My aunt bought a house in the Philippines and moved there. I told her that I would ship her all of her things; all together they were probably worth $10,000. It was around 22 boxes. I also sent some gifts to the Philippines. Nothing ever got there and now when I call them their voice mail is always full."
The BBB offers the following tips when shipping goods overseas:
· Have copies of all required documents. Each country has specific document requirements for international shipments, like a Bill of Landing which is issued by a carrier to a shipper listing a receipt of goods for transport and specifying the terms of delivery. Make sure you have filled out all the required forms and keep copies on file.
· Make an inventory list. You should create a detailed inventory of the items you are shipping, along with the value of the items.
· Ship your packages early enough to allow for shipping delays. Holidays are the busiest time of the year to ship packages and you should always expect delays. Always double check with the shipper that you are going to use about deadlines for shipping.
· How are you being charged? Determine if the shipment charge is done by weight or by cubic inch, as it may vary by company. Prices also vary whether you decide to ship via air or sea. Determine what best meets your needs and budget before making a decision.
· Compare their reputations. There are several carriers who offer international shipping service for packages. Before making a decision to ship goods overseas, free Business Reviews are available at www.bbb.org
Additional things to consider when sending a package abroad include the issuance of a tracking number, delivery confirmation and insurance.
For more information on shipping goods overseas visit, www.bbb.org
As a private, non-profit organization, the purpose of the Better Business Bureau is to promote an ethical marketplace. BBBs help resolve buyer/seller complaints by means of conciliation, mediation and arbitration. BBBs also review advertising claims, online business practices and charitable organizations. BBBs develop and issue reports on businesses and nonprofit organizations and encourage people to check out a company or charity before making a purchase or donation.

"Basically, we have come back to the scenario where the market is driven by liquidity," said Ben Kwong, chief operating officer at KGI Asia, noting that the 400 billion yuan ($63.5 billion) to be injected into the Chinese banking system would allow stocks to continue their recent run.

On Saturday, the People's Bank of China announced the amount that major banks must keep in reserve will be cut to 20.5% from 21%, with effect from this Friday.
The broad gains came ahead of a euro-zone finance ministers' meeting set for later Monday, where approval of further bailout funds for Greece is widely expected. U.S. index futures also edged up during Asian trading hours.
Peter Chatwell, a strategist at Credit Agricole, wrote in a report that while the Eurogroup meeting may look like a re-run of last week's events, "this time around Greece and the Troika [have] made much more progress towards reaching an agreement."
Troika is a reference to the European Union, European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund, which have participated in the bailout discussions.

China is a key export destination for many Asian countries and Saturday's policy statement was viewed as a move to boost lending and help shore up China's economic growth. See report on Chinese monetary easing.
The PBOC "may still be concerned about inflation, but the last thing it wants is to be blamed for keeping policy too tight and causing growth to slow unnecessarily in a leadership-transition year when China still faces the threats of a global slowdown and a property-sector downturn at home," said Mark Williams, chief Asia economist at Capital Economics.

Celebrity scientists
From Richard Dawkin to Brian Cox, from Sean Carroll to E. O. Willson, they have gave their talks here at TED, been on media, inspired and raised much of debates.
Who is your favorite scientist? Who haven't yet been on TED and should be invited to be on TED? and why? What is your opinion on 'Sci-celebrities'? Are they good model for kids, good educator, inspiring icon, or they are over-rated?

Jan 29 2013: Great Topic!!!
Have you seen the Symphony of Science Site?
It was researching a science topic for my students that I came upon it, and then through researching some of the scientists on that site that I connected to Jill Bolte's Ted talk and the site itself.
I would love to see Neil DeGrasse Tyson on TED...........and of course, if Richard Feynman were still alive, I would have loved to have heard him give a TED talk.-
Jan 30 2013: I have seen this....parts of it are put to music on the Symphony of science site....BUT....I really would have loved to have seen him on the TED stage.....and go on and on for like an hour.
Dr. Feynman died in 1988. A great loss.
Have you clicked on my link above? There's a great video on "We are stardust"....that has a clip of him.
[EDIT] OOPS....it is the Quantum Theory video that has a nice bit by Feynman.....check it out.
"The world is a dynamic mess of jiggling things"..Richard Feynman
Jan 30 2013: Hi Kelwalin,
Here is a great 6 minute interview with Neil done by Time.
You will be pleasantly surprised, in that he will answer your question as well, as to who is his favorite scientist and why..

A long-running mix-up involving the Delta County Mosquito Control District #1 (District #1) and a half dozen departments of county government has some residents of Orchard City complaining they are not getting services they have paid taxes to receive.
Dozens of home owners living on Cory Bench at the south end of Orchard City have paid property tax assessments since the special district was formed in 1966.
But for an undetermined number of years (beginning in 2004 or earlier) they have not received any spraying in their neighborhood.
In addition, some have been told by District #1 personnel that they aren't eligible for service because they don't live within the district boundaries. All the while the county has collected their tax payments and remitted the money to District #1.
District #1 is formed as a special district, is not a part of the county government, and is not overseen by the Board of County Commissioners.
A resident of Cory Bench, in an e-mail to the DCI, stated she was told in 2008 that her home isn't in the district. But she and her husband pay over $180 annually in property tax assessments to District #1.
The situation came to light last Wednesday, Sept. 12, when residents of Cory Bench came to their town board with complaints.
Betty Davis told the Orchard City town board how recently she had called District #1 with a request for spray service. She was refused and told her house isn't in the district. "District #1 is making a (financial) killing and we're getting nothing," Davis said.
What followed, she explained, was a visit to the county courthouse where she "got the runaround" through multiple departments trying to straighten the matter out, but with no success. "County GIS (geographic information systems department) and the assessor aren't on the same page," she said.
Mayor Don Suppes commiserated with his constituents. By paying taxes and not getting service, "you people have been wronged," he said.
Suppes distributed maps during the town board's meeting which he said were official county versions that clearly show Cory Bench outside the boundaries of District #1. He promised to get involved. "Tomorrow morning the county commissioners' ears will be burning and I'll be the one behind it," he said.
Two days later, on Friday, Sept. 14, a meeting of elected county officials and department heads was convened by county commissioner Bruce Hovde at the courthouse in Delta. Present were the county clerk, the elections director, county GIS director, two board members and staff of Mosquito Control District #1, the county treasurer, county assessor's office, county administration, and the county health department. Mayor Suppes was not present nor were any residents of Cory Bench. Orchard City was represented by the town clerk.
Maps were presented at that meeting showing a very different boundary line for District #1 than the maps distributed at the Orchard City meeting two days earlier. The county's map version showed the Cory Bench both completely inside and completely outside the District #1 boundary. No one was able to give a clear explanation for multiple versions of the county maps showing different district boundary lines. The meeting room was filled with bemused silence. Heads shook.
Apparently Mosquito Control District #1 has, for an unknown length of time, been using a map of its own boundaries that is wrong. Representatives of District #1 did not make a presentation or a statement at the Friday meeting. There was no explanation offered and no denial or dispute of the events that had been reported. A District #1 staff member confirmed that Cory Bench and Austin had been sprayed last week after complaints were received.
Hovde said that the county "puts the burden of proof on special districts" for notification of any changes in their boundary lines. Yet District #1, which covers more than 100 sq. miles, has not changed its boundary in the Cory Bench area from its founding in 1966.
The county elections department said that a "spot check" of records shows that Cory Bench residents have been eligible to vote in District #1 board elections.
The county assessor's office says that District #1 boundaries have always been clearly and accurately stated in its legal office's descriptions, so Cory Bench residents have received tax bills annually for District assessments.
Unanswered from Friday's meeting is how did District #1 get the incorrect boundary data it was using about its own district boundaries?
Also unanswered:
• How do different versions of a district boundary maps get produced and distributed when county departments have and use accurate legal descriptions of the boundaries?
• Why hasn't anyone ever noticed contradictions in the map versions before now?
• If, as was stated, District #1 did no spraying on Cory Bench at least from 2004 to 2011 when Orchard City was conducting its own aerial spraying, how long prior to 2004 did District #1 also neglect spraying on the Cory Bench?
Orchard City resident Betty Davis, who uncovered the snafu, said that after she pointed out the problems last week the district finally did a ground-based fogging the next day. The district also conducted fogging in Austin last week.
Hovde said that despite the lateness in the mosquito season there would be more fogging on Cory Bench and in Austin.
One last question being asked by some residents of Cory Bench and Austin: If taxpayers have paid their assessments and then been excluded from mosquito spray services, can they expect to get their money back from the district, as they would expect from a private business?
Hovde ventured to answer that touchy question at Friday's meeting. "There will be no tax refunds," he said.

Just flash the update.zip for Twitter on the first post of this thread. You may need to uninstall Twitter from the market before you flash it. If you using metamorph it's not theming because you probably don't have twitter in system/app. I have a readme.txt in the mm theme that has instructions on how to fix that.

Sorry,read it a couple times in this thread already(two VERY different types of foam). No where on the info page is any other foam mentioned. Z-FOAM is what this plane is constructed with and its clearly stated as ''Carbon-reinforced Z-Foam construction'' on the parkzone product page under features HERE .
EDIT: The manufacturing process for various names of epo foam can have noticeably different qualities in rigidity,cracking,impact absorption etc. |

Blossee,manufacturing process can very greatly between the different types of foam and the finished products weight,density,rigidity,and flexibility etc. This is way off topic but z-foam and epo are different types of foam .

3 axis. I have the aileron gyro gain on the gear channel and tail gyros gain on the flap channel. On low rates you don't really feel them, it just feels like the plane is dialed in perfectly. If I am doing a lot of fast snappy manuvers I just use the aileron gyro, and turn the others off, for harriers and slow technical 3d I use all 3 on medium gain, high rates with low expo, the plane is more responsive, but the gyros smooth it and keep it from being twitchy, so you don't need as much expo, even with high rates at high speed. I also have a single aileron gyro on the parkzone extra 300, it counters wing rock in a harrier, roll coupling in KE, or wing rock in the wind. I fly FBL helis too, and they pretty much require 3x gyros, so i'm fairly open minded to the benefits. I have experimented with gyros in most of my RC stuff, a SC truck, helis, sport, scale and 3d planes, they are getting better, and are the direction things are going.
If you fly a plane where the gyros are set up properly, you don't notice them, they handle most small corrections, but don't get in the way of flying, they only limit unwanted movement. You can achive the same feel if you take hours fine tuning your setup, sacrifice some scale for aerodynamics, dial in perfect mixes, and fly on a windless day. With gyros a decent setup feels perfect, a twitchy unstable airframe feels smooth, and flying in bad weather is easy. They simply allow you to make the plane do what you want instead of spending most of your attention on countering the movements you don't want. |

looks to me this plane is a capable unit, that can do anything you throw at it. Look at it in the hands of a pro The only question it asks is "whats your skill level?" and answers with "well if your ready for this, I Can Help You!" My experience with AS3X has only been good and i think in the ultra micros, oh and i have flown them all it has made the flying pleasure more enhanced, as the plane flys bigger not being thrown around by the conditions as much, but! has not really made me think i can let my concentration go because AS3X is going to fly my plane, to me i only really know it's there when i then, fly a UM plane after that doesn't have AS3X err i'm about to put up the maiden of the UM p-40 and to my embarrassment I CRASHED the 1s plane on maiden DOHHHH i haven't hit the deck for months, lucky for me it was over grass i cut the throttle and had not one scratch your see in the video anyway my point AS3X didn't save the p-40, in fact it didn't help fly the plane at all, the dumb ass behind the sticks crashed it i so hope OMP offer one of these for me to review it looks great, i still want one even though i maidened my new CZ Yak54 this morning, if the VisionAire had been released 2 weeks back i think i might have gone this way before the Yak54, but must say after flying this morning the yaks a winner in my books too cheers chuck |

Revisiting Standing: Proposition 8 in the Ninth Circuit
Posted By Vikram Amar, Feb 17, 2012
Cross-posted from Jurist.com. This is the inaugural edition of a Jurist column authored by King Hall faculty. In the column, I argue that the Ninth Circuit could have ruled that the initiative proponents lacked standing to defend Proposition 8, which may have been a more judicially sound method to invalidate the amendment as opposed to basing the decision on Romer v. Evans... Detractors likely see last week's ruling striking down California's ban on same-sex marriage, Proposition 8, as a result-oriented decision calculated to reinstate same-sex marriage in the Golden State and at the same time discourage Supreme Court review on account of the California-specific reasoning underlying the opinion . It is worth noting that Judge Reinhardt, the opinion's author, would also have been accused of activism had he written a broader ruling that called into question other state bans on same-sex marriage as well. Still, Reinhardt's effort does suffer from significant logical and doctrinal problems. He attempted to wrap himself in the cloak of Romer v. Evans , the famous 1996 Supreme Court ruling in which Justice Kennedy wrote for the majority to invalidate a Colorado initiative that withdrew, across the board, protection from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation for all persons of gay or bisexual orientation while leaving in place such anti-discrimination protection for people of heterosexual orientation. Reinhardt also relied on two features of Proposition 8 that he said doomed it under Romer and other cases. First, California repealed an existing right to same-sex marriage; California did not simply choose not to recognize one in the first place (as in other states). Second, California's repeal of the marriage label was irrationally narrow, insofar as it left intact all the tangible benefits of same-sex marriage for gay couples. The big problem is that neither of these features of Proposition 8 brings the case within the scope of Romer. In Romer, nothing seemed to turn on the fact that the Colorado law in question, Amendment 2, had taken the form of a repeal. Imagine there were no anti-discrimination laws relating to sexual orientation in Colorado at all. Colorado then creates such laws in something it calls "Amendment 2(a)," but provides therein that "none of these newly created rights concerning sexual orientation discrimination shall be enjoyed by persons who are of gay orientation or lifestyle." I have no doubt the Court would have struck this down just as it did the law in Romer. In fact, Justice Kennedy in Romer actually used "withheld" instead of "repealed" in one place, to describe Amendment 2. So Romer is not about impermissible repeal, but rather about unfair exclusion of a group from a benefit. Part of what made the initiative in Romer so unfair, the Court said, was its sweeping breadth. So the second argument Judge Reinhardt makes for striking down Proposition 8 - its narrowness - not only finds no support in Romer, this argument is actually undermined by the reasoning of Romer. There are other, related, problems with Judge Reinhardt's opinion. His finding that Proposition 8 cannot rationally be thought to reflect California's desire to proceed cautiously with major social change because the initiative was styled as a "permanent" cessation of, rather than a moratorium on, same-sex marriage is quite unconvincing. A cessation is always no more than an indefinite break, insofar as the people of California remain free to repeal any state law in the future, even Proposition 8 itself. Indeed, can anyone see last week's decision coming out differently if Proposition 8 had been written to require all state officials to implement "an indefinite moratorium, until further action from the people, on all same-sex marriages, so that Californians may safeguard their vision of the institution of marriage in light of the way marriage has developed throughout history and across the nation"? The analytic moves Reinhardt makes create problematic incentives for states. If a state chooses to experiment by recognizing same-sex marriage (or any other right not required by the federal Constitution), it can now reasonably worry that repeal will be difficult. If a state confers most of the tangible benefits of marriage on same-sex couples, it can now reasonably worry that its failure to extend the marriage label will be struck down as irrational. Defenders of Judge Reinhardt might suggest that he was in a bind. Proposition 8, they may say, was a measure driven by hostility towards gays, but direct evidence of such animus on the part of decision makers (in this case voters) is always hard to adduce. And, they would add, the Supreme Court has itself (in cases like Romer) struck down anti-gay measures using inadequately explained and/or logically unconvincing reasoning. Constitutional law, they might observe, is always choppy in a period of transition, during which courts are working their way through what they think is the constitutionally right answer but are restrained for prudential reasons from articulating at the outset a full-throated explanation of the constitutional principles involved. Given pragmatic constraints, Reinhardt defenders would suggest, the judge could not easily have held that equal protection principles should make us skeptical of bans on same-sex marriage everywhere, and that such bans cannot survive the intermediate or strict scrutiny they warrant. Such an intellectually honest opinion would have forced the Supreme Court to decide a major issue that the Court could think will benefit from percolation in the states and the lower courts for a while. On this view, Judge Reinhardt, by ruling on California-specific grounds, reached the constitutionally just result while doing the Supreme Court (and Anthony Kennedy in particular) a favor by giving the justices a basis on which they can stay out of this tangle, for now. However, even if someone were to agree with the premises of Judge Reinhardt's defenders (and I take no position on that here), I think his opinion is still open to question because there was a better path to the same endpoint. Had the Ninth Circuit held that the official proponents of Proposition 8 lacked Article III standing to defend the measure in federal court, Proposition 8 would die in California just as it does if Reinhardt's approach is allowed to stand. It would die because Governor Jerry Brown and Attorney General Kamala Harris (the only persons with proper standing in federal court to defend the measure) have made clear they will not defend it. A class action on behalf of all same-sex couples in California could be brought (as Proposition 8 challengers probably should have done in the first place), and then (after Perry and Harris decline to defend) a default judgment in favor of this class of plaintiffs and a corresponding statewide injunction against enforcing Proposition 8 would ensue. This result would have been better for same-sex marriage proponents than Reinhardt's approach because even though the same result invalidating Proposition 8 would be reached: (1) California would join the ranks of the same-sex marriage states in the important national tally by virtue of decisions of elected California officials (Attorney General and Governor) and the voters who elected them, rather than by unelected federal judges (especially the notoriously liberal Reinhardt); (2); the likelihood of Supreme Court review would be much lower than it is even under Reinhardt's California-specific approach; (3) Judge Reinhardt could appear to be displaying judicial modesty and obedience by taking to heart the admonitions by the Supreme Court reversing a Ninth Circuit case he authored 15 years ago concerning the lack of initiative proponent standing in federal court; and (4) there would be no doctrinal externalities to other settings arising from Judge Reinhardt's curious reasoning. The only remaining question is whether the Ninth Circuit's (or the Supreme Court's, for that matter) hands are tied with respect to initiative sponsor standing because of the California Supreme Court opinion last November indicating that proponents have standing to assert the interests of the state in state court. Simply put, the California court's ruling does not resolve the standing question in federal court. Certainly if California courts were to hold that every voter has standing to assert the interests of the state electorate to defend an initiative when statewide elected officials decline, such a determination would and could not create citizen standing in federal court. Instead, as the Supreme Court has made clear in cases discussing jus tertii (or third-party) standing, when someone is permitted standing in order to assert the individual or collective rights of another individual or group, the person seeking standing ideally would have a special relationship with the right holder(s) to satisfy the Court's prudential concerns that there will be adequate representation. With regard to elected officials representing the interests of the voters, tradition and the fact that the officials are elected or appointed create that relationship of accountability and generate good representation. But with respect to initiative proponents who were not known or picked by the voters when the electorate adopted an initiative, there is no process (and no real discussion by the California Supreme Court) that explains why the proponents are accountable to and thus can be representatives for the voters. In a 1997 opinion , the Supreme Court expressed "grave doubts" about initiative proponent standing and observed: [Elected] [s]tate legislators have standing to contest a decision holding a state statute unconstitutional if state law authorizes legislators to represent the State's interests. [But initiative proponents] are not elected representatives, and we are aware of no Arizona law appointing initiative proponents as agents of the people of Arizona to defend, in lieu of public officials, the constitutionality of initiatives made law of the State. Nor has this Court ever identified initiative proponents as [constitutionally] qualified defenders of the measures they advocated. The California Supreme court has told us that California law authorizes proponents to represent the state in state court. Is that enough? I would argue not. Note that the Supreme Court pointed out at least two problems with proponent standing in Arizona - lack of state law authorization, and also the fact that proponents are not "elected representatives" or "appoint[ed] agents." The California court ruling may address the former, but does precious little to blunt the latter. Why should lack of election or formal appointment as a state agent matter? Because Proposition 8 proponents were never actually chosen by the people, nor designated by any of California's elected representatives, to speak for the state's electorate. Of course, the measure that the proponents proposed was adopted, but that does not mean that the electorate decided - or intended - that these particular proponents ought to speak or act for the voters in any representative capacity. In short, initiative proponents not picked by the voters may lack credibility, and may in fact be rogue actors whose current views, sentiments and desires bear little relation to those of the electorate that adopted the initiative in question, much less the electorate that exists at the time litigation is conducted. In fashioning a workable balance between the competing concerns presented by initiative-proponent standing, the federal courts should recognize the possibility of proponent standing, but only when the conferral of power to defend on proponents is clearly provided for in state law. Such a rule gives voters adequate notice that when they adopt an initiative, they are in effect appointing certain persons to defend it in court. Decisions issued in years past by the California courts that permit, but do not discuss, proponent standing seem inadequate to confer notice on the voters since, as the Supreme Court has recognized, rulings that tolerate but do not affirmatively discuss and affirm a court's jurisdiction over a matter are not entitled to any precedential weight. Instead, the appointment should be effected by a provision in a particular initiative (passed by the voters) that explicitly deputizes a particular proponent of that initiative as the party entrusted to defend the constitutionality of the law. It would be sensible for such explicit deputization to spell out who within the proponent organization is entitled to make key litigation decisions and concessions, and also what the relative power of the initiative proponent and the Attorney General/Governor should be when public officials may decide to defend the measure, but to defend it in ways that are different from the litigation strategy favored by the initiative proponents. Or, the necessary appointment could take the form of a state statute or state supreme court opinion directly announcing clear standing rules for all initiatives from that point on. So, in light of the decision last November, perhaps voters in California should, going forward, know and factor in that when they approve an initiative, they are, in addition to adopting whatever policy is embodied in the initiative, effectively appointing certain persons to represent them in court. But because such state-law clarity was not in place when Proposition 8 itself was passed (and I note here that it was passed by a slim margin), I will not be surprised if the Supreme Court concludes that the requirements of federal standing are not necessarily met by the proponents in the Proposition 8 setting itself. Denying them federal standing may have been (and may still be) the prudent thing to do.

More aircraft, more flights for London City
28 March 2012
British Airways is expanding its aircraft fleet and route network at London City Airport where it is now officially the largest operator with the highest number of routes and customers.
The airline is to take delivery of another Embraer 190 in the late summer, bringing the total fleet size to 14 aircraft.
It will be used for a new year-round service to Venice and to increase frequency to the key business destinations of Frankfurt from March and Glasgow from September.
The new route to Venice, gateway for Northern Italy, will be launched in September and there will be one extra flight a day to Frankfurt and Glasgow.
The news comes as British Airways is about to start brand new services from the Docklands airport to Mahon in Menorca, Quimper in Britanny and Angers in the Loire Valley in France from May.
As the airline continues to grow its network from London City, passengers have more choice to more leisure destinations, flying on one of the youngest aircraft fleets in the business. A total of 22 destinations in the UK, Europe and the USA will be served by British Airways from London City Airport.
Peter Simpson, managing director British Airways wholly owned subsidiary airline BA CityFlyer, said: "We are very excited about the arrival of our 14th aircraft which will add frequency to existing business destinations and has opened up new flying possibilities to popular leisure destinations. Our customers love the quick and easy service at London City, just 15 minutes from kerbside to airside, making the most of their valuable time.
"We have some very competitive all inclusive fares to all our destinations, which include a generous free 23kg luggage allowance, free on-line check-in and seat selection 24 hours before departure and complimentary food and drink on board."
