Photo opportunity: Nurses to hold candlelight vigil in front of hospital
GOUVERNEUR, Oct. 9, 2012 – E.J. Noble Hospital RNs say they do incredible work every day – saving lives, caring for patients, and keeping our community healthy. They're skilled professionals, and the community needs them back at work.
This is the message that E.J. Noble RNs will share with local elected officials, community leaders, and New York State Department of Health during a candlelight vigil at 3 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 11, 2012, in front of the hospital at 77 West Barney Street in Governeur.
The 31 RNs are represented by the New York State Nurses Association. The hospital remains closed after the Department of Health suspended operations on Sept. 28 when it found numerous violations related to its lab.
"We do vital work here," said E.J. Noble RN Ellen Meilleur. "We provide excellent care for the residents of the Gouverneur area, we cover the soldiers and families from Fort Drum and the local Amish community, too. We're not just a 'band-aid station.' We make a difference in people's lives."
E.J. Noble RNs will be on hand at the vigil to provide more information on the valuable services they provide.
The New York State Nurses Association is the voice for nursing in the Empire State. With more than 37,000 members, it is New York's largest professional association and union for registered nurses. The association represents registered nurses, and some all-professional bargaining units, in New York and New Jersey. It supports nurses and nursing practice through education, research, legislative advocacy, and collective bargaining.

It's an extremely personal decision. But more women are choosing breast reconstruction after breast cancer.
Breast cancer can change your life and your body.
But, for women wondering what to do after treatment is over, there are options to get you back to feeling like yourself again.
For many women diagnosed, breast cancer can mean loosing a breast, or even both. 20 years ago very few women underwent breast reconstruction after treatment. But now, perceptions are different and so are the options.
"We really see breast reconstruction as the completion of your breast cancer treatment," says Dr. Kelly Gallego, a board certified plastic surgeon in Sioux City.
He says over the years, techniques for reconstruction have improved. And so have the results. But, it can still be a scary and overwhelming process for women at first.
"A lot of women, at the time they get the diagnosis of breast cancer, they don't even want to think about breast reconstruction – they just feel like, I wanna survive this disease, I wanna get through my mastectomy, my chemotherapy, my radiation...," says Dr. Gallego.
But, if you find out reconstruction is for you, it can start as early as your initial breast surgery.
"The first stage involves taking a temporary device called a tissue expander, says Dr. Gallego. "That expander is inflated in the office, on a weekly basis, until we reach the appropriate size."
In other cases, tissue is taken from the woman's own body, usually the back or stomach.
Either way, information is power, when it comes to your health... your life... your choices.
Again, reconstruction is a very personal decision, and it's not for everyone. But, if you are interested, talk to your doctor about your options. Or you can schedule a consultation with Dr. Gallego. In most cases, breast reconstruction is covered by insurance.
More information and helpful links are on the top, left-hand corner of this page.

I would rather the game be buggy and have good story and characters than be glitch free and suck balls. thus a major reason that I am a fan of obsidian. plus since the actial makers of south park are in charge of thge story its all but garented that it WILL be the south park we all know, rather than be made someone who only barley knows the show and will screw with everything
This should be a fantastic game. I can't imagine South Park working as a video game in any other genre than RPG. Hopefully it has a similar level of quality from RPGs like Paper Mario, while keeping the South Park humor and Charm alive in the combat and story.
considering that every other SP game has been beyond awful, I'm choosing to hold judgement on this
Masters of the genre ? Obsidian games are buggy, unpolished messes. Maybe that will change with a south park game, but I keep telling myself that everytime an Obsidian game is about to be released. Alpha Protocol had a solid story, but the game was full of bugs, had one of the worst AI ever and a visual mess. It was a bunch of good ideas but poorly executed (as always with Obsidian). NwN2, KotOR 2, New Vegas...pretty much the same thing as their predecessors but with more bugs, that's pretty lousy game development right there.
Obsidian comes up with solid stories and characters, but it's time they hire 3D artists and programmers :/
While Obisidian DOES make decent RPGs, they are usually buggy messes. Hope this one turns out different.
South Park RPG great, looks just like the show, the possibility is endless, make your own character, all amazing...
Obsidian is making it... oh... never mind... *sigh* moving on.
Besides Halo 4 this is probably the next best game Microsoft had in their press conference!
This looks awesome. What they are doing right is sticking to the look, feel, and writing of the series. It reminds me of what the Simpsons game did a few years ago which I loved.
Its amazing how such a seemingly terrible idea in concept has turned out to look so great.
Stick of truth? Stick of truth. Stick of truth! lol This was definitely the highlight of the microsoft conference, looking forward to it!
You've got to consider your target audience when you make a game -- that's just marketing. Although I love a huge, sprawling RPG with tons of depth, I don't think SP:TSoT is going to be one of those kinds of games. I'll be pleasantly surprised if it is, but when you're trying to cater to two different audiences (South Park's fans, and the hardcore RPG fans) you can't lean too far in either direction.
I hope the developers can find the "right" balance with this one.
I haven't been this excited for a game since the Resident Evil Remake I think.
I love Matt and Trey so much.
Praise the LORD!!! A turn-based South Park RPG complete with leveling up, character and weapon customization, and for the first time a full map of the entire town (something never done on the show, ever). Thank you Trey Parker and Matt Stone for not fucking this up.
YESSSSS!!! So...damn...happy. :D
I'm guessing "streamlined" means shallow and simplistic, ideal for consoles... =/
Just lost a lot of my interest in this title.
praise god no adds i was going to punch my monitor if i saw another 30sec add before a video just wanted to let gamespot know its boiling my blood
@KidsNDad actually obsidian is pretty good. Last game i played was Alpha protocol which got buried by the streamlined critics. for god's sake it scored a 6.0 whereas other retarted mindless games scored almost perfect. Did you play alpha protocol at all? The shooting is not as they say, it is rpg oriented. Did kotor had good combat? As for the story and the desicions tyou make EVEN the slightest dialogue can change the outcome. do you know how many parameters this game has? Whereas Mass effect 3 (which i preordered the CE was a letdown and that clueless KEvin van ord guy did not mention any of the fucked up ending in his Dishonest review)
@jer_1 well i mean it's southpark if you have played any southpark games before they always have very little depth and lots and lots of humor i think what he means is there's nothing innovative here you know, mass effect your decisions change the world, or real time combat final fantasy battles kind of thing that's normally expected in "new" RPG's it's a classic well built RPG with a southpark twist I.E. things like casting fire magic may involve a lighter and farts.
@jer_1 I think it's more for the fact that it's South Park. We don't need it to be as deep as New Vegas.
@jer_1 It's got leveling up and even weapon customization. I think the guy being interviewed kind of misunderstood the term "streamlined." Everything looks like a good ol' RPG, but better.
Hint i dont like chrome even if i do there is no bloody excuse for such abuse to the user with all those freaking adds all over the place
@ioannisdenton i respect your opinion with Alpha Protocal, and yes it is one of Obsidians better games, but the flaws it suffered are the same bugs/flaws that have followed Obsidian from their first title.
Obsidian has never come up with its own engine or idea. In fact almost every game they have ever made was using prior engines, ideas, and design. KotOR 2 took a great game and just ruined it, they then used that same core, which was first used by Bioware's amazing game Baldurs Gate, same idea which was refined and used for KotOR, Neverwinter Nights(another game Obsidian ruined in sequel), Jade Empire, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and was also used to make Alpha Protocal. there were some great ideas with AP, and in the hands of a decent developer this would have been an amazing game instead of an okay one with lost potential.
I have no love for many of the AAA titles today, in fact I dislike ME3, I loved the first one, and found the series grew weaker the more they tried to please the action/shooter fans (EA did the same to DeadSpace, DragonAge). ME3 is a great middle ground for the game series with more RPG elements and the ending is a let down but the game is not overly buggy, and plays great. Yes I don't like it, but it was a solid game, I can play from start to end without seeing more then a few bugs/issues (non plot issues any case), my disliking of the game is more down to EAs influence rather then Bioware's ability to create a workable game. Obsidian on the other hand, has lofty ideas and they work hard to make these dreams into a semi-playable game, sadly (and I wished they succeed) they end up releasing flawed or buggy titles, time after time. I have always had hope in their titles, but KotOR2 let me down, and then I was kicked by NWN2, had a little light from AP, which was then bloched out by Fallout NV bugs, and the complete shambles they turned Dungeon Seige 3 into. After DS3 I will not buy (new, maybe £5 bargin bin) any game from Obsidian. They have great ideas, and writing teams, just poor developers.
South Park SoT can be a great RPG game with a decent backdrop, but I can already with confidence say, it will be a buggy, and flat game, with little in the way of imagination or thought. I half expect it to be a 2d clone of DS3 gameplay. Lets just hope I am wrong, (as I always do) and they make a great title. I just don't think they can or will.
@gamingfrendly There are add blockers for every browser. google "*your browser* ad blocker", take a few minutes to install, and live internet ad free!
i have no idea whats that is but if its an add pure gasoline on it and burn it i am so sick of adds
@KidsNDad Obsidian have built their own engine, the Onyx engine. It ran Dungeon Siege 3 (flawlessly) and has been modified to use in South Park. They built it from the ground up for RPGs.

Secondary education for the second-class

I'm adding my three to edit later. Anti-Leads Role: Roughly describing this role is difficult. Anti-Leads have one goal in mind: to counter the most used leads in the current metagame. With this set in mind they carry niche items as well as movesets that aren't normally considered normally. How to use: These types of leads aren't as simple on the field as they are on paper. An Anti-Lead's goal is to either eliminate the opponent or shut it down. There are many ways to do this strategy by using moves such as Taunt, Trick, or a status move. There are niche items such as Lum Berry that is also considered. Other moves such as Brick Break, priority moves, Explosion, and Pursuit also are commonly used as well. How to counter: It can be very difficult to counter such type of leads because their movesets differ with ones normally used. The best way to counter an Anti-Lead is to attempt to guess what moves it could possibly have. For example Bronzong will almost always carry Gyro Ball and usually Stealth Rock. From there it's considering the movesets that are used. Common Examples: Metagross: A Pokemon that is capable of taking on many leads. Faster, frailer leads suffer from a combination of Meteor Mash and Bullet Punch. Stealth Rock is also a considered move for his movepool, allowing him to take advantage of the field on turn one. Trick and Reflect are moves that are also acceptable with his support movepool. Finally a lot of Metagross leads finish off with a big bang by Explosion. Crobat: Hypnosis and Taunt is an awesome combination with Crobat as well as boasting U-Turn with him as well. 130 Speed also gives Crobat the capability of using the fast Hypnosis and Taunt to his advantage. Weavile: A very useful lead when used correctly. The combination of Fake Out and either Pursuit or Ice Shard is very useful as many leads are usually fragile. Weavile can use Taunt, Brick Break, or Counter to take advantage of the situation if necessary. Counter is a rather risky strategy but can be rewarding since the vast majority of leads usually are physically oriented. --- Lightning Speed Leads Role: The main goal is to outpace as many opponents as possible and being able to do enough damage to most leads. How to use: To use this is quite simple really. Most Pokemon that have a higher base Speed of 100 or at least wield a Choice Scarf are perfect examples of this. These Pokemon attempt a sweep straight-forward when they enter most of the time or threaten a switch. How to counter: A lot of bulky leads usually have a role of putting a lot of these Pokemon into submission. Bronzong is a likely candidate due to STAB Gyro Ball gaining a lot of power thanks to the Speed difference among the two Pokemon. Hippowdon can make a mention, despite being mostly a Weather Lead, to shrug off most physically oriented Pokemon with Slack Off and his own STAB Earthquake as well as Ice Fang. Also anything that is faster than the usual Lightning Speed lead gets a mention of having a higher chance of eliminating the opponent. Common Examples: Weavile: A Pokemon with 120 Attack and 125 Speed as well as decent STABs to back him up. His moves lack the base power sometimes to take on some threats; however, the help of either Choice Band or Swords Dance makes all the difference. Be weary if you're lead is a Ghost-type and is slower than Weavile because chances are the Choice Band variants commonly carry Pursuit for that reason. Infernape: Base 108 Speed backed up with 104 attack stats for each spectrum is a force to be reckoned with. Carrying STAB Fire Blast as well as Close Combat manages to make Infernape the perfect candidate to carry moves such as Grass Knot and Hidden Power Ice. He has the niche to use Focus Sash and Nasty Plot and still pull off a good sweep if necessary. Choice Scarf: Not a Pokemon but a good item example. A lot of Pokemon have an excellent movepool but rather average Speed. The solution? Choice Scarf compliments these and is capable of catching many leads off-guard. There are also many possibilities of making the said Pokemon a mixed sweeper with the ability of having no gains other than Speed. There's also many Pokemon that can commonly carry Trick alongside Choice Scarf to not only outpace many leads but also cripple other leads with shock and awe. --- Dual Screen Leads Role: The main goal of a Dual Screen lead is to set-up both Reflect and Light Screen. How to use: Algonside the Light Clay item, you simply use Reflect and then Light Screen. With these in play, the teammates behind the lead can bask in success as the opponent tries to thwart them off with the opponent's attacks doing half damage. Eight turns on the field also makes it really scary. Support from Safeguard, Taunt, or Explosion are good options to consider. How to counter: Brick Break and Taunt are the only counters to this strategy unfortunately. Brick Break users are limited; however, Weavile and Scizor tend to be the best ones. Taunt users are also sparse, especially those that tend to be faster than some Pokemon. Crobat and Aerodactyl are the fastest Taunt users that exist in the OU environment and they can easily Taunt with little problems. Common Examples: Bronzong: A Pokemon that can "do everything and then some", Bronzong can easily use Reflect and Light Screen. On top of that, Bronzong has Hypnosis, Safeguard, and Explosion for extra protection. Stealth Rock is also common on some of these Bronzong. Azelf: A faster lead than Bronzong, Azelf can quickly use Reflect and Light Screen. Usually Taunt and Stealth Rock follow; however, Explosion can be a surprise use for Azelf. U-Turn also has its generic use of easing prediction. ---
This is just a little something on Weavile. I wasn't sure if we are writing analyses on individual pokemon or lead type classifications. I've added this anyway, but if it is out of place or wrong then feel free to remove it. Col M, I followed your formatting in your Bronzong example. -------------------------------------------------- Weavile Classification - Anti-Lead - Lightning-Speed Lead In-Depth Discussion With excellent Attack and Speed, Weavile makes a prime candidate as a Lightning-Speed lead to start the game off before your opponent can make a move. However, what really sets it apart from many other speedy pokemon is its wide array of disruptive attacks, which gives it great potential as an Anti-Lead. Firstly there is Fake Out. This is a great move on something as powerful and frail as Weavile, allowing it to deal decent damage (20+%) to many other frail leads. The primary purpose of this move is to destroy the opposing pokemon's Focus Sash, an item that many lead pokemon rely on to ensure they set up Stealth Rock. Examples of this include Azelf and Aerodactyl, both of whom are then quickly dispatched with a Night Slash / Ice Shard respectively. Weavile also boasts the ability to use Taunt. This can shut down many leads that like to set-up at the start and is the bane of a Baton Pass or Sleep lead. Not many leads outspeed Weavile, and so are unable to do a thing as they are taunted and their attempt at setting up Stealth Rock / put Weavile to sleep is foiled. Baton Pass leads are unable to pass once they have been Taunted, so their entire purpose is effectively voided. Weavile also has access to Ice Shard, which serves as a great way of getting rid of faster frail threats such as Ninjask, Shaymin-S, Crobat, and the aforementioned Aerodactyl. Brick Break also finds it way onto Weavile's arsenal and makes it an excellent counter to Dual Screen leads. Brick Break gets rid of both Light Screen and Reflect in addition to doing damage and so is a good way of making opposing Screen leads waste turns. Another great quality that Weavile possesses is his dual Dark / Ice STAB combination which scores a super-effective hit on many other common leads. Bulky leads tend to give Weavile trouble, but it does still have one great way of dealing with them: Counter. Because of its paper defenses, many bulky leads such as Bronzong, Metagross and Swampert may elect to simply get rid of Weavile by attacking. Counter is Weavile's ace in the hole against such leads - by surviving an attack with Focus Sash and Countering back, it can OHKO many unsuspecting foes. Weavile can also use Taunt to ensure that the opponent attacks, which can be a great way of ensuring you do not try to Counter a Stealth Rock. Weavile has so many great options - the problem is he can only use 4 of them at a time. Although it has a way of dealing with almost any lead in its movepool, many a time it may find itself with out the required move to deal with the opponent: e.g. facing Bronzong without Counter or Aerodactyl without Ice Shard. But it is the knowledge that Weavile can deal with their lead that may cause many opponent's to switch, and it is this unpredictability and movepool diversity that makes Weavile such a threatening Anti-Lead. Counters As already mentioned, Bulky Leads can give Weavile a lot of trouble, especially if they sport neutrality to its STAB attacks. Bronzong, Metagross and Swampert have already been mentioned, but Tyranitar, Scizor, Heatran, Infernape, and Gyarados can also effectively beat Weavile. However, Tyranitar and Heatran need to watch out for Brick Break, and all the others should also be wary of Counter. Weavile dislikes any lead that he cannot 2HKO, as then they will most likely kill Weavile before it can kill them. Scizor gets particular mention as he can OHKO Weavile with his powerful Bullet Punch and sports resistances to both of Weavile's STAB attacks. Scarfed pokemon can also surprise Weavile and take him out as he confidently stays in, and should be taken into account. -------------------------------------------------- That's it. Like I said, if this is the wrong place please let me know. Thanks, LR.
I like this LR. Although to be honest I'd like to ask if you can summarize it a little bit. The Counters section is fine and I like the detail of the in-depth; however, I'd like you to attempt to shorten it into either one to three paragraphs if you can. Four maybe at the max.
Thanks Col M. I've taken out bits that I found to be slightly irrelevant (such as the bit on Pursuit and the list of Ice and Dark weak common leads). I've also compressed it and removed a lot of the extraneous detail.
I know this is going to be like the third post pimping this lead, but it provides a good example of an anti-lead for discussion purposes. E.g. should we post the Anti-Lead set with the analysis, should we just talk in general, and should we include "Lightning Speed" if it really only applies to a Scarf set. Blaziken Classification: - Anti-Lead In-Depth Discussion: Blaziken is notable as an anti-lead for several reasons: It has High attack and Special Attack, mediocre speed, priority attacks, and excellent STABs. Essentially it will deal heavy damage to most other lead pokemon, whose frailty Blaziken can exploit. It's threat level is enough to cause some opponents to forego their planned strategy and try and score a quick knockout. This is Blaziken's Anti-SR Lead set: [SET] name: Anti-SR Lead move 1: Fire Blast move 2: Vacuum Wave move 3: Hidden Power [Grass] move 4: Superpower item: Focus Sash nature: Rash evs: 32 Atk / 252 SpA / 224 Sp With the exception of Fire Blast (and possibly new Superpower sets), these are attacks that usually don't make the cut on other standard Blaziken sets. The essential function of the set is to limit the usefullness of current SR leads. Current SR leads usually use two attacks: one to set up rocks, the other to Explode, attack normally, or use another support move. Vs. Faster leads this set is designed to give a one-two punch with a STAB Move + Vacuum Wave that limits them to their initial attack. Slower bulky leads will generally be 2HKOd (OHKO'd if type weak) by the most powerful relevant attack (Fire Blast most of the time, HP Grass for Swampert, Superpower for TTar etc). Counters: The set is specialized towards weakening SR leads, so non-SR leads should act as if they are facing a regular Blaziken. Starmie and Salamence do not got dropped into Vacuum Wave KO range by any other attack, Shaymin-S and Yanmega can gamble with Air Slash. Hippowdon can KO it with Earthquake + SS damage, but will eat a Fire Blast in the process.
Actually, the plan was to use about 20 or so of the most common leads. If we just did those that people watned to or are good, but unused, would clutter up the article a bit. And we don't want to focus on individual movesets.
Mostly I just wanted to focus on form for an Anti-Lead, since generally an anti-lead counters some specific other kind of lead. For example, Taunt leads beat SR leads generally speaking, but don't do so well against TrickScarf leads, or a faster non TrickScarf lead. For instance I was running a Scarf Trick Claydol lead that was designed to beat Gengar. Also serves as an SR lead. But of course, to pull that off it basically as to have 3 moves already decided, so a lot of the Anti-Lead sets are drastically different than standard ones. Otherwise it's tough to grasp an "Anti-Lead" since by definition it is an unorthodox solution to a "Standard Lead."
The goal of this analysis isn't to add everything that can possibly lead. It interprets the BEST leads that are commonly used (top 30 is the maximum for now but will probably be lowered). Until the October statistics are released some of these Pokemon as leads are unkown and are in jeopordy of losing a place in the article. "BL" leads might be an exception; those that jump here and there every month. Until then we should focus on leads that we know will have a great chance of being a top lead next month. Sorry Deck Knight. I'd also like to add this into the prologue of the article. Opinions? To also announce once I've gotten my other two Lead articles done we'll be using this topic for the "rough draft" to give an example on how it will be written as well as a starting point without resorting to start a new topic right away.
Azelf (insert Platinum sprite here) Classification: - Anti-Lead - Suicide Lead In-Depth Discussion: Azelf is one of those floating Psychics, and is the best offensively. It comes packed with offensive diversity, in addition to one great support move: Stealth Rock. As a Suicide Lead, it can easily pull of a quick Stealth Rock with it's above average speed and a Focus Sash intact. In addition, it has great moves like Explosion and Fire Blast to work with when you're done. Explosion gets rid of most things (read: not Gengar, or steel/rock types), and Fire Blast is for the ever common Bronzong, Metagross and Scizor. After awhile, the Azelf lead became a staple. That is when people probably started thinking of how to create an Azelf that'll "trick" the foe into thinking you're just another Suicide Lead, and pull off a kill. Trick is in quotations because of the Platinum addition that makes Azelf a great Anti-lead, to stop even bulky leads like Hippodown and Bronzong. With 125 attack stats, and great Speed Azelf becomes surprisingly effective with a Choice item. U-Turn is a prime move for being able to scout the foe, and being used in conjunction with ScarfTrio can net awesome kills: Watch as they switch out their Forretress, Bronzong, or Scizor and bring in ScarfTran, Tyranitar, or even ScarfDoom. By U-Turning you can bring in Dugtrio for the KO on all of them. In conclusion, Azelf is a great and versatile lead that should be considered whenever building a team. Counters: Anti-lead Weavile isn't really a "counter", but can easily finish off suicide lead Azelf with Fake Out and Night Slash. They must be wary of ScarfZelf, as U-turn and Fire Blast does loads of damage to it though. Aerodactyl can also outspeed, and Taunt Azelf before it can set up rocks. Leading Tyranitar also makes a could way to stop Azelf. While it may set up Stealth Rocks, you'll break its Sash and if it U-Turns (though you'll be dealt SE damage) you can Pursuit it for the OHKO. Few things can actually counter the anti-lead without taking a chunk from U-turn, however the best way to beat it is to out-predict.
Great analysis MetaNite, but I really think you should add Tyranitar to its counters section. There is not a single attack that Azelf possesses (bar Explosion) that can kill TTar, while it can easily pick it off using either Crunch or Pursuit. The reason it makes such a good counter is because of Sandstream messing up the Focus Sash. EDIT: http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/upload/0/0d/Spr_4p_482.png That's a link to the Plat Azelf sprite. I have this handy cos I'm writing a warstory with Azelf in it atm. It'll be up in Stark in about an hour and a bit.
Not sure if we're using Sprites yet because I'm unsure if we can with articles (I could be wrong). Looks good MetaNite. I leik. Ones that I will work personally (in other words don't touch) - Deoxys-S (if allowed) - Gengar - Tyranitar - Machamp Possibly others. We shall see once October statistics roll in (as well as the voting of DX-S).
Can I just pop in to say that I think I'll be able to write quite a good Porygon2 analysis (if I am allowed - not top 20 most common leads yet still extremely effective). I have done extensive testing with it since the start of the Garchomp testing and I think I can do a pretty good job. LR.
Thank you! Gave me a nice boost in confindence ^_^ Porygon2 is #38, yet I think it deserves a mention. Perhaps we don't do any of the more "minor" leads until the next statistics in Nov. with Platinum out. Minor meaning the things that don't really do anything as a lead, but are just sort of there... such as ScarfTran, and random DD Mences. I may do Yanmega, that okay?
I'll let you claim Pory2 but it won't be added in (for now). You can keep it on standby since it is a "limbo" lead. I'll let you do Yanmega but let's not make this a "claiming" thread. Me and RB Golbat will be doing a lot of the contributing and allowing a member to do one or two is fine. What I'm trying to say is don't go over the edge with these.
I understand, you'd probably do a better job anyway. Yanmega Classification: - Lightning-Speed Lead - Anti-Lead In-Depth Discussion: Yanmega is a rather interesting Pokemon. It has two rather unique abilities, and just the right Special Attack to pull it off in OU. Being a Bug/Flying Pokemon, Yanmega finds it difficult to switch in without losing 1/2 its Hit Points. This makes it perfect for a lead. This ancient bug only needs one set up move, and that's Protect. That allows it to get in a Speed Boost, making it faster than just about anything. Two pretty much standards are Bug Buzz, and Air Slash for great STAB. Hidden Power can be added to take care of Heatran and Magnezone with HP Ground, or the OU dragons with HP Ice. As a lead, it works well against unprepared teams. Yanmega has one more trick, and that's Hypnosis. Though it's accuracy has been reduced back to 60, it's still a good move to shut down any would be counter. Its other ability, Tinted Lens is great but better used on a late game sweeper set. Counters: Yanmega can be hard to counter with Hypnosis and it's speed increasing each turn. It can be beaten as a lead against anti-lead Weavile, and can't stop most Suicide Leads from getting up their rocks. It'll have trouble against anything with a Focus Sash, yet having one of its own solves this problem. Heatran and Magnezone work great against those that lack Hidden Power Ground, and Zapdos works well against those without Hidden Power Ice. ----------- Last contribution here, thanks for the oppurtunity to contribute.
Lightning-Speed Lead Anti-Lead Those would describe Yanmega. Looks fine. I don't care if some people contribute but I just don't want people claiming for certain Pokemon and then two weeks later have nothing. I'll discuss RB Golbat about making peer "contributions" per say.
Ones that have been written: Azelf Tyranitar Bronzong Metagross Gengar Zapdos Infernape Scizor Aerodactyl Hippowdon Salamence Gyarados Ninjask <--- Working on Yanmega Shaymin-S Weavile Roserade Heatran Machamp <--- Working on Swampert Crobat Abamosnow Jirachi Ambipom Togekiss Jolteon Forretress Smeargle <--- Working on Porygon2 <--- Working on Electrode
Yeah, I'll allow him to do Pory2 but no one else can reserve (or do, rather) any other analysis unless you have my and RBG's permission. And trust me, I'm not going to hand these out to "just anyone" or hand it out like candy either. Azelf Tyranitar <- Colonel M Bronzong Metagross <- Colonel M Gengar <- Colonel M Zapdos <- Colonel M Infernape Scizor <- Colonel M Aerodactyl <- Colonel M Hippowdon Salamence Gyarados Ninjask <--- RB Golbat Yanmega Shaymin-S Weavile Roserade Heatran Machamp <--- RB Golbat Swampert Crobat <- Colonel M Abamosnow Jirachi Ambipom Togekiss Jolteon <- Colonel M Forretress Smeargle <--- RB Golbat Porygon2 <--- Legacy Raider Electrode __________________ RB Golbat, PM me if you'd like to do any others. I'll update this to the OP.
Porygon2 Classification - Anti-Lead - Bulky Lead In-Depth Analysis Porygon2 distinguishes itself from most other pokemon with its Trace ability. Although Trace is usually used to get a free switch in for Porygon2, it also has merit in countering many common leads. Salamence and Gyarados are easily taken out with an Ice Beam / Discharge respectively, and after they have had their own Intimidate used against them they can do very little to Porygon2. For example, a Life Orb Gyarados will only manage a meagre 30% on Porygon2 with Waterfall, while Salamence's Outrage does a maximum of 48%. Heatran and Jolteon are unable to hit Porygon2 with their primary STAB attacks once Porygon2 has traced their Flash Fire/ Volt Absorb, meaning they are almost always forced to switch. Porygon2 can also keep pace with Ninjask and Yanmega and force them out with Ice Beam, retaining the Speed Boost ability and having an advantage over the next switch in. Another factor that makes Porygon2 a great lead is Magic Coat. This move reflects back many non-damaging moves, and allows Porygon2 to use the opponent's moves against them. Sleep leads such as Gengar, Roserade, Yanmega, Crobat, Smeargle and Uxie are rendered ineffective when their attacks are used to put them to sleep. It also reflects trapping moves such as Mean Look and Spider Web back at the opponent, allowing Porygon2 to foil many Baton Pass and Perish Trapping leads. Porygon2 also use its own status moves effectively in addition to reflecting the opponent's back at them. Thunder Wave ruins the effectiveness of Lighning Speed leads such as Aerodactyl, Weavile and Crobat, while Toxic severely limits the lifespan of bulky leads such as Swampert and Hippowdon. Although status will bother Porygon2, it is not unduly worried since it can always come in on a Natural Cure pokemon later on in the game. However, with good prediction and Magic Coat, you should never have to worry about status. With BoltBeam coverage, Porygon2 can hit 11 out of the 28 top leads super effectively. While this may not seem like much, it becomes a lot more significant when one considers that many opposing leads will be unable to 2HKO the defensive cyberduck back, and that Porygon2 can use Recover to heal half its health in a single turn. Counters Although Porygon2 fairs decently against the majority of opposing leads because of its inherent bulk, it has no way of stopping Stealth Rock from going up since Magic Coat cannot reflect it. Also, how well Porygon2 fairs as a lead depends a lot on how it is EVed. If it is physically orientated, Roserade Leaf Storms, Shaymin Seed Flares and Zapdos Thunderbolts start to hurt. If it is specially biased then the Salamence it is meant to counter can 2HKO it with Life Orb Outrage. Porygon2 is very much a jack-of-all-trades but it cannot do everything at once. Infernape can do a lot of damage to Porygon2 with its STAB Close Combats, while there is not much Porygon2 can do in return. Also, Porygon2 is very bulky but has few resistances, so can be overcome by beatdown leads such as Choice Band Tyranitar and the numerous Explosion leads. ------------------------- As a side note, to the person who is doing the lead Machamp analysis, I've got some stuff on an Encore set which may or may not help. Thanks for letting me write up Porygon2. LR.
Sorry, but i've been using Roserade and plan on doing it. Colonel_M and I should be able to do the rest.

This influenza season, CDC has received a number of reports of severe respiratory illness among young and middle-aged adults, many of whom were infected with influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 (pH1N1) virus. Multiple pH1N1-associated hospitalizations, including many requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and some fatalities have been reported. For the 2013-14 season, if pH1N1 virus continues to circulate widely, illness that disproportionately affects young and middle-aged adults may occur. Annual influenza vaccination is recommended for all persons aged 6 months and older, and is the best way to prevent influenza. However, available evidence consistently indicates that antiviral treatment, when initiated as early as possible in patients with confirmed or suspected influenza, can reduce severe outcomes of influenza. During this COCA conference call, critical care physicians will comment on their recent experiences caring for patients with severe influenza, and a CDC subject matter expert will summarize the 2013-14 season to date and review CDC recommendations for health care providers including the use of antiviral medications for the treatment of influenza.

School districts are seeking innovative ways to give technical assistance to teachers. The International Center specializes in providing the data and methods necessary to offer all students a rigorous and relevant education, as described in this 2005 Model Schools Conference paper.
Reforming American High Schools - Why, What, and How
by Willard R. Daggett
Most successful high schools move through three consecutive stages in order to achieve high academic standards for all students: (1) convincing educators, parents, and community members why a school needs to change; (2) using good data to determine what needs to change; and (3) determining how to change the school. This paper describes a vision for change and how to implement it.

Achieving Reading Proficiency for All
by Willard R. Daggett
The International Center's research reveals that much of the reading that adults do on the job and in their personal lives is at a higher level than our high schools require for graduation. If today's students are to succeed in the real world, schools must rectify this mismatch by teaching reading beyond grade six.

Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. -- Boaters would be better off going on the wagon this weekend, or at least moderating their imbibing, because law enforcement agencies plan strict controls regarding alcohol and drugs.
If boaters don't drink, there is a better chance they'll remain uninjured and alive to enjoy the pastime again, said Sgt. Mike Burgamy, a law enforcement officer with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Division.
"We want people to have fun while boating, but BUI (boating under the influence) has become the leading contributing factor in fatal recreational boating accidents," Burgamy said.
"We recommend boaters avoid drinking alcoholic beverages, and we will have zero tolerance for anyone found operating a boat under the influence of alcohol or drugs on our waters."
Officers plan to look for boat operators whose blood alcohol exceeds the state limit of .10 percent during the weekend.
"We chose the first weekend before the Fourth of July to help get the message out that boating while under the influence is serious and will not be tolerated," said Ron Sarver, deputy director of the national Association of State Boating Law Administrators.
"We have found that the message carries through the Fourth of July weekend."
Although the threshold of .10 percent blood alcohol can guarantee a charge of BUI or drunken boating, the .08 percentage can also be considered for a charge of "less safe," said Ellis Wynn, an Albany law enforcement officer of the Department of Natural Resources.
"It is still a BUI to be charged with less safe for .08 percent," Wynn said. "If your activity proves to an officer that you are operating a boat in a manner that is less safe you can be charged."
There have been 12 BUIs in Southwest Georgia so far this year, said Melissa Cummings, outreach specialist for the Department of Natural Resources. Two of them have been on the Flint River.
Summer just started a couple days ago and the total is double last year's number of BUIs, she said.
Last summer, 46 states participated in the first Operation Dry Water. During the three-day weekend, 283 BUI citations were issued nationally. In Georgia during 2009, there were 177 BUI citations. This year all 50 states plan to participate.
"It is just the beginning," Wynn said. "We are making BUI enforcement a high priority all summer."

Urban contemporary
This article possibly contains original research. (December 2013) |
Urban contemporary is a music radio format. The term was coined by the late New York DJ Frankie Crocker in the mid-1970s. Urban contemporary radio stations feature a playlist made up entirely of hip hop, R&B, electronic dance music such as dubstep and drum and bass (often with hip hop vocalists or rappers), and Caribbean music such as reggae, reggaeton, zouk, bouyon, and sometimes Soca (In Toronto, London, New York City, Boston and Miami). Urban contemporary was developed through the characteristics of genres such as R&B and soul.[1] Virtually all Urban contemporary formatted radio stations are located in cities that have sizeable African-American populations, such as New York City, Atlanta, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Memphis, Boston, New Orleans, Oklahoma City, and Charlotte.
The term "urban contemporary" is heavily associated with African-American music, particularly for Contemporary R&B in African-American contexts. For the Latinos, the music is more Latin urban, such as Reggaeton, Latin hip hop, or bachata. Their playlists are dominated by singles by top-selling hip hop and R&B performers. On occasion, an urban contemporary station will play classic soul songs from the '70s and early '80s to satisfy the earlier end of the genre.
Most Urban formatted stations such as KJLH, KPRS, KMEL, KDAY, and WVEE will play gospel music or urban contemporary gospel music on Sundays.
Mainstream urban is a branch of urban contemporary, and rhythmic contemporary is also a branch.
The 1970s[edit]
When Frankie Crocker was appointed as program director of the newly created WBLS in 1974, he created an eclectic music mix of R&B, discoredefining the R&B format as urban contemporary. The station was an instant success, the most listened-to radio station in the country[citation needed]. In 1975, WDMT in Cleveland began programming a mix of rhythm blues R&B, disco and rap. The station featured live street jocks mixing vinyl records each night. The station's popularity grew and in 1980, it was Arbitron rated No. 2 12+, just behind the No. 1 rated WMMS with the original "Morning Zoo". Carol Ford hosted the morning drive show. Other famous people who worked at WDMT include: Tony Harris (CNN), Len Canon (NBC, Fox-NYC), Brenda Love, Kim Skillern (Lady Skill), Matt Morgan, Dean Rufus, Freddie James, Jay Wachs (Jay Fox), Jeff Foxx, Mike Love, Mike Chapman, Rod See, Eric Fasion and Vanilla Fudge.
The 1980s[edit]
WBLS in New York City was the first station to air a rap radio show, Rap Attack with Mr. Magic and Marley Marl, in 1983.[2]
During the early 1980s as newly formed WRKS-FM (98.7 Kiss FM) became the first rap station in the United States[citation needed], WBLS quickly began adding more rap songs to its playlists. The urban format by this time was redefined by an eclectic mix of R&B, rap, reggae, dance, house, and freestyle. WBLS continued as the flagship station of the Urban format; however, Kiss FM surpassed them in the ratings.
Many radio stations imitated the urban sound since it was proven to be more profitable than other formats. Another subformat of urban contemporary is rhythmic contemporary hits which plays a great deal of dance music. WQHT-FM (Hot 97) and KPWR (Power 106) were the first stations to utilize this format.
Since the 1990s, as urban contemporary hits have dominated the US pop charts, many Top 40 stations have turned to playing some tracks popular on urban contemporary radio stations.
Following periods of fluctuating success, urban music attained commercial dominance during the early 2000s, which featured massive crossover success on the Billboard charts by R&B rhythm blues and hip hop artists.[3] In 2004, all 12 songs that topped Billboard Hot 100 were African-American recording artists and accounted for 80% of the number-one R&B hits that year.[3] Along with Usher's streak of singles, Top 40 radio and both pop and R&B charts were topped by OutKast's Hey Ya! Snoop Dogg's Drop It Like It's Hot, Terror Squad's Lean Back and Ciara's Goodies[3] Chris Molanphy of The Village Voice later remarked that by the early 2000s, urban music was pop music [3]
Today, urban contemporary music is a crossover of rap and contemporary R&B, which in some instances may be accompanied with dance beats.
The Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration has been awarded since 2002.

Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from 293 cells, transfected with 100 nM SignalSilence® Control siRNA (Unconjugated) #6568 (-), SignalSilence® p42 MAP Kinase (Erk2) siRNA I #6540 (+) or SignalSilence® p42 MAP Kinase (Erk2) siRNA II (+), using p42 MAP Kinase (Erk2) Antibody #9108 (upper) or α-Tubulin (11H10) Rabbit mAb #2125 (lower). The p42 MAP Kinase (Erk2) Antibody confirms silencing of p42 MAP Kinase (Erk2) expression, while the α-Tubulin (11H10) Rabbit mAb is used as a loading control.
SignalSilence® p42 MAPK (Erk2) siRNA II from Cell Signaling Technology (CST) allows the researcher to specifically inhibit p42 MAP Kinase expression using RNA interference, a method whereby gene expression can be selectively silenced through the delivery of double stranded RNA molecules into the cell. All SignalSilence® siRNA products are rigorously tested in-house and have been shown to reduce target protein expression by western analysis.
Quality Control
Oligonucleotide synthesis is monitored base by base through trityl analysis to ensure appropriate coupling efficiency. The oligo is subsequently purified by affinity-solid phase extraction. The annealed RNA duplex is further analyzed by mass spectrometry to verify the exact composition of the duplex. Each lot is compared to the previous lot by mass spectrometry to ensure maximum lot-to-lot consistency.
Directions For Use
CST recommends transfection with 100 nM p42 MAPK (Erk2) siRNA II 48 to 72 hours prior to cell lysis. For transfection procedure, follow protocol provided by the transfection reagent manufacturer. Please feel free to contact CST with any questions on use.
Each vial contains the equivalent of 100 transfections, which corresponds to a final siRNA concentration of 100 nM per transfection in a 24-well plate with a total volume of 300 μl per well.
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are a widely conserved family of serine/threonine protein kinases involved in many cellular programs, such as cell proliferation, differentiation, motility, and death. The p44/42 MAPK (Erk1/2) signaling pathway can be activated in response to a diverse range of extracellular stimuli including mitogens, growth factors, and cytokines (1-3), and research investigators consider it an important target in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer (4). Upon stimulation, a sequential three-part protein kinase cascade is initiated, consisting of a MAP kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK or MAP3K), a MAP kinase kinase (MAPKK or MAP2K), and a MAP kinase (MAPK). Multiple p44/42 MAP3Ks have been identified, including members of the Raf family, as well as Mos and Tpl2/COT. MEK1 and MEK2 are the primary MAPKKs in this pathway (5,6). MEK1 and MEK2 activate p44 and p42 through phosphorylation of activation loop residues Thr202/Tyr204 and Thr185/Tyr187, respectively. Several downstream targets of p44/42 have been identified, including p90RSK (7) and the transcription factor Elk-1 (8,9). p44/42 are negatively regulated by a family of dual-specificity (Thr/Tyr) MAPK phosphatases, known as DUSPs or MKPs (10), along with MEK inhibitors, such as U0126 and PD98059.

Performing a testicular exam doesn't pose any direct risks. However, if you notice something unusual that concerns you, the follow-up exams might lead to unnecessary worry and medical tests.
For example, if you discover a suspicious lump, you may undergo tests to determine its cause. This could involve blood tests, ultrasound exams or a procedure to remove testicle tissue for examination (biopsy). If the lump turns out to be noncancerous (benign), you might feel that you've undergone an invasive procedure unnecessarily.

A true gadgethound like yourself surely faces that gnarliest
of problems: not enough ports. Yes, it's convenient that tons of consumer
electronics now use USB as a standard charging/connecting protocol. But, there
never seems to be enough slots or electrical outlets to keep your stuff all
juiced up. These sockets pump out a standard 5V of power, compatible with most
portable electronics. If you're handy enough to install these into your abode's
walls, the U-Sockets will make your life a lot easier.
Who can resist a photo booth? They're always a
great excuse for sticking out your tongue, picking your nose or having a young

pockets. But you can load up Incredibooth on your iPhone 4 and get a pretty
cool simulation. The app comes from the same minds that made Hipstamatic, the
lo-fi photography emulator, and like Hipstamatic, you can mix various different
lens and film effects to wind up with really cool arty shots. It only works
with iPhone 4, though, since it uses both the touchscreen and the front-facing
camera. You can send the snaps as a strip or individually and send them
straight to Facebook. Incredibooth.
