Darlington man in court accused of burgling pensioner's home
1:28pm Monday 31st December 2012 in News By Duncan Leatherdale
A MAN has appeared in court charged with burgling the home of an elderly woman while she slept.
Darren Michael Russell appeared at Newton Aycliffe Magistrates' Court today (Monday, December 31) where he was charged with a dwelling burglary and also causing criminal damage.
It is alleged the 41-year-old, who gave his address as Hargreave Terrace, Darlington, broke into a house in the town's Leonard Street on December 18 and stole a gold watch and alcohol miniatures.
He is also accused of causing criminal damage to furniture in the house.
Magistrates said the offence was too serious for them to deal with and will transfer the case to crown court.
No pleas were entered.
An application for bail was refused and Russell was remanded in custody.
He will next appear at court via video link on Wednesday, December 9, with his case being committed to crown court on Wednesday, February 13.

Emilio Jean-Paul could barely take it as he listened to his 3-year-olds heart-wrenching cries in the middle of the night.
Papi, Papi, my feet hurt; my hands hurt, little Emmanuel called out as his tiny body burned up with fever.
Jean-Paul, who lives in the southern Haiti town of Léogâne , was all too familiar with his sons symptoms. They are the common signs of chikungunya (pronounced chik-en-gun-ye), the painful mosquito-borne virus infection that has been spreading rapidly across Haiti and the rest of the Caribbean since its arrival in the hemisphere in December.
Chikungunya is everywhere and everyone in the country is crying fever, fever said Jean-Paul, who works with soccer nonprofit GOALS Haiti, of which several employees and at least one recent visitor from the United States have been infected. Almost everyone has it. This thing is serious all across Haiti.
And it soon could become serious in Florida, according to health experts.
A viral disease spread by the same mosquitoes that carry dengue, chikungunya (CHIKV) rarely is fatal. But it has been linked to at least 14 deaths in the Caribbean, most likely individuals with prior health issues.
Since its first detection in the French island of Saint Martin, it has spread to about one new country a week, with the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico and English-speaking Guyana last week becoming the latest to confirm cases. Guyana is now the second country after French Guiana on mainland South America to confirm chikungunya.
In all, there have been 4,406 confirmed cases and 103,018 suspected cases in 17 countries including Puerto Rico. The Dominican Republic recently reported it has 38,639 suspected cases, said Dr. Pilar Ramon-Pardo, a clinical management specialist with the the Pan-American Health Organization.
Ramon-Pardo said imported cases also have been confirmed in Panama, while the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that Florida reported 10 cases through the CDCs national arboviral surveillance system coming from travelers returning from the Caribbean territories of Dominica, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Martinique, Saint Martin and Sint Maarten, and Indonesia in Southeast Asia.
So far, no case has been reported of people catching the disease in Florida.
Theres a high likelihood, as we continue to monitor and investigate, that we will find some, said Roger Nasci, a CDC expert on vector-borne diseases.
Nasci said international public-health authorities in the Western Hemisphere are not surprised by the outbreak because they have been keeping a careful eye on chikungunya for a decade.
However, concerns were heightened in 2004 and 2005 when it began to spread from its traditional African stronghold. It migrated from Kenya and Uganda to islands in the Indian Ocean and then India. The disease soon spread to other Asian countries.
It was an outbreak in northern Italy in 2007 it began with a traveler from India that prompted authorities to view chikungunya as truly a global threat.
That was the first outbreak in a northern, temperate climate, Nasci said. That was the shot over the bow, the warning that the disease could flourish outside tropical areas. The global public-health community began paying careful attention. We knew this was eventually going to happen.
In the wake of the Italian outbreak, PAHO, CDC and other agencies have been warning public health authorities in the Western Hemisphere to be on the lookout for chikungunya, instructing them on the diseases origins and symptoms and its proper treatment.
In turn, Caribbean nations have increased spraying for mosquitoes and have urged people to remove standing water where the insects breed.
If there is a bright side to chikungunya fever, it is that people only seem to get it once.
In Haiti, physicians and others have questioned whether the disease triggers other illnesses.
Ive seen lots of weird manifestations of it in people who are already sick, said Dr. Vincent DeGennaro Jr., the director of internal medicine at Project Medishares Bernard Mevs hospital in Port-au-Prince. Not quite sure what to make of it.
For instance, there is the patient with a leg infection that before chikungunya only required oral antibiotics but afterward had to be hospitalized and given Intravenous therapy. There also are those with unexplainable fevers that are neither chikungunya nor dengue.
Dr. Marc Fischer, a CDC epidemiologist, said chikungunya virus infections can cause rare, severe or atypical clinical ailments, such as cardiovascular, neurologic or renal disorders.
These severe or atypical manifestations have been described in a small proportion of all cases, probably less than 1 percent, and are more likely to occur in the elderly or people with underlying medical conditions, Fischer said. Some of these atypical findings may be due to worsening of preexisting medical conditions, or coincidental and not causally related to the chikungunya virus infections.
Medications that are used to manage the fever and joint pains also may cause side effects, and should only be used as prescribed or according to the label to reduce the risk of any complications, he said.
The disease is leaving a socio-economic impact as schools close temporarily because so many students and teachers call in sick; construction projects slow down because workers are a no-show, and hospitals report difficulty in delivering patient care because too many nurses are out sick or patients in need of urgent medical care reschedule procedures.
Probably between 15 and 25 percent of my staff has had it, said DeGennaro, who also is an epidemiologist but has had no experience with chikungunya before now. It puts most people down for three days and then they come back to work, and then they are miserable for the next week while at work.
On Saturday, the hospital, which specializes in trauma care, was forced to stop admitting new patients because too many staff members were out sick with chikungunya, DeGennaro said.
Unlike cholera, the water-borne disease that triggered pandemonium after it was introduced in Haiti in 2010, chikungunya has been received differently by Haitians who say Its not a question of if, but when you will get the fever.
I expect to get it at any point, said DeGennaro, whose roommate has had it as well as three of the eight people in his office. Its unbelievable how its spreading. Its being spread by mosquitoes but its spreading as if it were a cold. But its even worse than that. You cant just wash your hands and avoid chikungunya.
And as the busy summer travel and hurricane season begin, many fear infections may get much worse. Rainfall typically expands the breeding of mosquitoes and increases the population.
The outbreak is going to accelerate once it starts to rain, said Scott Weaver, a world expert on the virus and the director of the University of Texas Medical Branchs (UTMB) Institute for Human Infections and Immunity.
Weaver recently spent four days in the Dominican Republic, which shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti, to see how the virus was spreading and evaluate the mosquito population. He also wanted to see whether it was being spread by both species of mosquitoes the Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus that are present on the island as well as in the southern and eastern United States.
Weaver said he believes the culprit is the dreaded Aedes aegypti mosquito, which also transmits dengue and yellow fever, that is behind the spread.
During his visit, Weaver said he saw a number of patients who were diagnosed with the virus, but whom he believes did not have it. Dominican doctors, he said, are operating in the dark because of their inability to test for chikungunya locally. The same is true in neighboring Haiti where the CDC is helping the Haitian staff at the National Laboratory develop the ability to test locally, said Barbara Marston with the CDCs Divison of Global Health Protection.
While the ability to confirm cases locally wont necessarily help those who have the virus, it will help epidemiologists control the spread and survey the pattern of the disease, said Weaver, who is currently working on a vaccination that has still not yet undergone human trials.
It is also important for patients and physicians to distinguish between chikungunya and dengue because they require different treatments. For instance, while it is recommended that those with chikungunya fever take up to two 500mg of the over-the-counter painkiller paracetamol four times daily, aspirin, for instance, is not recommended for dengue sufferers because of bleeding complications.
Weaver said its very likely that the disease will soon reach the southern United States as dengue has.
People flying in and out of places like the Dominican Republic and landing and getting bitten by mosquitoes will start the cycle off, he said. Its a disease you dont want to get. It is very painful, debilitating. The pain and swelling in joints can last for years. Its a bad disease. It makes you very sick.

The Mental Health Juvenile Justice (MHJJ) Project is a partnership with probation and families which targets youth charged as juvenile delinquents or Persons In Need of Supervision (PINS), who have been screened by probation to have mental health, family, or substance abuse issues. The MHJJ Project provides masters level clinicians to offer mobile and flexible clinical assessment, counseling and case management services to identified youth in an effort to prevent further involvement in the juvenile justice system. The program is designed to improve the youth's ability to function at home, at school and reduce or eliminate delinquent behavior.
These services are delivered at locations of convenience to the client, at school, in the home as well as clinic. The project has offices at probation and The Lourdes Corner for Youth and Family Services outpatient clinic at 303 Main Street. It serves over 200 youth and family members annually. Services are offered Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM.
MHJJ provides the following services:
- Psychosocial Assessments
- Substance Abuse Assessments
- Individual Counseling
- Family Counseling
- Group Counseling
- Case Management Services
- Referrals and linkages for medication management, CSE Services (School), additional community services (SPOA, DSS, Other) and Family Court Advocacy for youth involved in MHJJ.

Detention Alternative After-School Program
The Detention Alternative After-School Program (DAASP) began in 2005 as a pilot therapeutic program offered to youth ages of 12 - 17 who are referred by Broome County Probation Department and by Broome County Family Court. DAASP is a "last chance" opportunity for youth who would otherwise be remanded to non-secure detention.
The program's focus is on reducing high-risk behaviors and improving school performance while building protective factors and resistance skills. The ultimate goal of DAASP is to increase positive decision-making, reduce recidivism, and offer an alternative to detention while holding youth and their families accountable.
DAASP is designed to accommodate a maximum of 6 youths ranging between 12 and 17 years of age. The program has structured components which include education, developing life-skills, self-esteem, self-discipline and creative expression.Counseling, mental health and substance abuse assessments are provided by the Mental Health/Juvenile Justice Program to any youth who may be interested. DAASP and MHJJ partner to provide structured Outdoor Adventure and Job Mentoring for structured summer programming to participants.
MHJJ and DAASP can only be accessed by referral from the Probation Department or Family Court system.

Icelanders like to roast or grill their ptarmigan or, sometimes, simmer the quail-size bird in a creamy roux. When they can get it, that is.
"It's not easy to find," said Jonsson, who works at the World Bank. "You have to know a guy who knows a guy. It helps to have diplomatic status."
Some years, when no one has slipped a few birds into the diplomatic pouch and online suppliers are too expensive, Jonsson has made do with other game meat.
Such as reindeer, which is another head-scratcher for local butchers. He doesn't even ask for whale meat.
"In an emergency, I have used venison," Jonsson said. "I'd like to try bison."
This year, he's in luck, with several pounds of bird in his Bethesda, Md. freezer (the bounty of a fall visit to Reykjavik). That leaves him and his wife free to organize the small presents their 8-year-old son expects on each of the 13 nights he puts his shoe on the windowsill of his Bethesda bedroom.
It's an ancient Icelandic custom that mischievous jolasveinar, or yule lads, will leave a trinket in the shoe of a nice child (or a potato for a naughty one). A few of the 13 Santa-like characters also made an appearance at the Jolaball, an annual Christmas fete hosted by the Icelandic Association of Washington that rocked Bethesda's Emmanuel Lutheran Church on Saturday.
"It's important to us to maintain our national idiosyncrasies," Jonsson said. "It's very easy in Washington to do that. The whole world is here."
For idiosyncratic holiday traditions, it's hard to beat the Catalan-born residents who bring out a little crouching shepherd, called a caganer, for their Washington manger scenes. The traditional carved or ceramic figurines, sold in the markets outside the Barcelona Cathedral, are shown doing something a Crate & Barrel ornament never would: defecating.

If you like lots of adventure and suspense then I advise you to read this book. The setting is in 1943 when World War 2 is taking place. A girl named Annemarie and her family is struggling to keep their Jewish friends hidden from the Nazis who want to kill or imprison every Jew in their town. It was very dangerous and risky to hide any Jews because if you were caught hiding them, you would also be severely punished. As you can tell, this book is full of action. It's also one of the best books I have ever read.

Well, I'm not very fashionista, and should say:
- If you want the visitors to click on them, they have to be clearly different from other images on the page (the pure illustrations or design things).
- Traditionally a link was an underline text or a UI-button. Visitors are used that clickable items associate to that, and expect that they are more or less buttonlike: 3d.
- A 3d suggestion can be made by a bevel, or a (subtle) border with some shadow: then the visor knows the (important) area where to hover/click. That is is recognizable, user-friendly, and more calling to action!
- Besides a sort of 3d (if the rest is flat), the difference with other images could be also: an introduction text line ("Here you can find our activities: "), the position on the page, a different background color, a different border, a different shape, a different ...
Personally, I don't like "just flat images" too much (with some exceptions for common known logos or icons like Facebook, LinkedIn and so).
But as always: "what is the best, is depending of the rest", the context of the design of the whole page!

Alright, after well over a year here it is at long last. The sequel to both Raikou's Test and Emotions, and the conclusion to my PikaShipping trilogy.
Truth be told, I first started writing this around March last year. But then, like I usually do, I got distracted and stopped writing. And it was left untouched until last week, when I figured "what the hell, might as well get this done and uploaded before even more time passes!" I know that some people have been waiting for this for a very long time, and I'm sorry; I really don't have any excuse for this. But at least it's up, right?
Raikou's Test was originally intended to a be a standalone oneshot, but I had the feeling I might like to continue it a little more, so I left the ending open with a few unresolved details just in case. Less than two months later, I uploaded the sequel, Emotions (which, incidentally, I consider my favourite story that I've written, though many of you would have probably guessed Final Challenge would take that honour). Now at long last, the final installment is here.
Unlike the previous two installments which were both oneshots, this one is three chapters long; I kinda thought it had a nice ring to it (three stories, three chapters on the last one), but then that's probably just me being a geek. It's all written (and is already finished on Fanfiction.net), so it should be completed on here relatively quickly.
If you haven't read Raikou's Test or Emotions yet, I really recommend that you do; this is, after all, the final part of a trilogy, and there may be parts that don't make sense if you haven't read them.
Anyways, here we go. I hope that you enjoy this (long overdue) story!
Chapter One: The Dream
It started with a dream. No, not a dream. The dream. The dream that had visited him almost every night for months. The dream that scorched his mind, leaving himself tingling when he awoke. The dream that he longed for… and dreaded.
He could see his bedroom door opening slowly, softly. A dark shape slipped stealthily inside, closing the door and approaching him quietly. As she came closer she became more distinguishable from the dark shadows that flickered around the walls. A finger pressed to her hidden lips, she stood at the side of his bed and threw back the hood that obscured her face.
Her long yellow hair dazzled him, seeming to glow with its own luminescence. It lit up her features brilliantly, and she shined like an ethereal goddess. Reaching out a hand, she grasped his arm lightly; her soft eyes found his and didn't break away. They were alluring… inviting…
He was powerless in their grasp.
And then their bodies were melded together, moving in perfect synchronicity with each other. He reveled in the taste of her lips, in the feel of her breasts as they pushed into his chest, and in the way her body meshed so well with his.
And then he was awake, gasping as the last vestiges of the dream slowly left his mind while the sweat poured down his brow. Breathing deeply he was able to calm himself, and he became aware of a comforting weight on his chest; a familiar, soothing weight. He closed his eyes again, shaking.
He both loved and loathed the dream. He revered it and he reviled it. When night fell, he found himself wishing for sleep. He longed to experience it again, and again. But when he woke with the sun, he was disgusted. It was not what the dream was about that shook him; he had had similar before. No, it was who the dream was about that made him feel sick inside. That was why when he awoke and felt the weight on his chest, he averted his eyes. It was why he now felt uncomfortable when they travelled together.
For no matter which way he tried to look at the situation, he could not overlook, he could not avoid the simple fact that his dream was impossible; that it was about his best friend.
About Pikachu.
Moving slowly and quietly so as to not disturb the room's other occupants, he gently lifted Pikachu off his chest and placed her on the blankets next to him. He rolled out of bed and dressed quickly before leaving the room without a backward glance. The first rounds of the Sinnoh League began today, and he had things to do.
On the bed, Pikachu opened her eyes and stared sadly after her trainer. She had been awake for a long time, unable to sleep due to her worry.
It had been this way for several nights now. She knew that he would do anything for her if she was ever in danger. He had saved her from potentially fatal falls more times than she cared to remember, even at the risk of his own injury. He had risked his life to snap her out of a magnetically-induced electrical insanity, and stopped her from smashing into a wall head-on at his own painful expense. He'd even transformed into a Pikachu to save her from Team Rocket.
They had travelled together for years, and their friendship was as close as it was possible for a human and a Pokemon to be. It had been made even more durable from the time that she had briefly become a human. They had been through so much together, and she could always sense when something was wrong. She had sensed for a long time now that something was not as it should have been, that something was bothering her trainer. That he was struggling with an inner turmoil, but would not share any of his pain with her…
That was disturbing to Pikachu.
She let out a sad "chaahhh" and sprang across the room to Dawn's bed, nestling her way underneath the Coordinator's arms. She resolved to stay there until Dawn or Brock woke, or Ash returned to the room. Although she dearly yearned to know what was causing a rift in her friendship with her trainer, she knew that pressuring him would do no good. He would reveal it in his own time. Keeping that in mind she allowed herself to relax, though one eye remained fixed on the door.
Waiting, hoping, for his return.
"You want me to send transfer some of your older Pokemon to you?" Professor Oak asked in surprise. "I'd thought that after you only used Pokemon you'd caught in Hoenn for the Hoenn League, you'd do the same again this time."
"Well, I'd planned on doing it that way, but then I got to thinking," Ash said. "My Sinnoh Pokemon have done a fantastic job for me so far, and I'll be using them all in the upcoming rounds. But then, is it really fair to all of my other Pokemon if I never use them again? What's the point of only seeing them once or twice a year? I want to be the best that I can, and I want to do that with all of my Pokemon."
"Well, it makes sense, and it means that your regular roster won't get too fatigued from all the battles," Professor Oak smiled. "All of your Pokemon here have missed you, and I'm sure that they'd love to battle with you again. Which ones would you like me to transfer data on before you register?"
"All of them," Ash answered without hesitation. "I have a lot of Pokemon, but I don't want any of them to miss out."
"Not a problem, Ash. Just place your Pokedex into the slot and I'll begin the data transfer right away." Ash opened his mouth to respond, but a rude voice cut in.
"So, you actually made it here. I thought you'd have given up after that battle with Candice." Ash turned and found Paul behind him, leaning casually against a pillar.
"I'd never give up," Ash responded tightly. "Giving up on a dream, or on the strength of your Pokemon would just be too easy. Of course, you'd know all about that, wouldn't you?" Paul snorted.
"The only good Pokemon is a strong Pokemon," he said. "Why waste time training, when you can spend that time looking for more powerful Pokemon to use?" It was a rhetorical question, but Ash answered it anyways.
"Because a Pokemon's strength doesn't come from physical power. It comes from the bond between a Pokemon and his trainer." Paul snorted again and stepped forwards, casting a jaundiced eye across the data that was being scrolled across the screen of Ash's Pokedex.
"Cyndaquil, Squirtle, Kingler, Bulbasaur, Corphish, Muk… don't you have any evolved Pokemon?"
"Kingler and Muk are evolved Pokemon," Ash said, puzzled. A wicked grin spread across Paul's face.
"I meant evolved Pokemon that are strong," he said with obvious relish. Ash fell for the taunt and lunged towards his rival, hate spread across his face. Brock appeared behind him just in time, restraining him by the shoulders.
"Now is not the time for this," he said to his friend. "Paul's just trying to upset you. Settle it when you meet on the battlefield, not in a Pokemon Centre." Recognizing the truth in Brock's words, Ash nodded, yanking his arm out of Brock's grasp. He continued to glare at Paul, anger still clouding his eyes. Ignoring him, Paul glanced past him at the Pokedex, his wide grin shrinking and becoming taut as he saw the last pieces of data flow across the screen. Without another word, he turned and left.
"What was that about?" Dawn asked with a yawn, stepping out of an elevator's recess with Pikachu in her arms.
"Nothing," Ash muttered, his eyes avoiding the Coordinator and the Pokemon she held. He turned back to the screen and Professor Oak.
"Ash…" the Professor began kindly. "I've seen you in three regional competitions now. Each time you have grown as a trainer, and as a person. Your strength doesn't come from your combative spirit, your unorthodox tactics, or even the Pokemon that you use. It comes from your ability to communicate with your Pokemon. Not just in commands, but in thoughts and in feelings.
"That trainer believes you to be a real threat to his own goals. I could see it in his eyes. He is trying to make you angry so that you will lose your focus. You can beat him if you keep calm during battle. If you allow him to upset you, he will win. He knows that the only way he can beat you is if you get distracted, or you allow your emotions to cloud your judgment. You saw his face when he looked at the last six names on the screen. He is worried, Ash."
"It's true, you know," Brock interjected. "Every time you two have battled, he's gotten you upset; usually by talking about how weak your Pokemon are. That's why he's won so often; it's his strategy." Ash nodded and, looking over to his Pokedex, was surprised to see what Pokemon had caused Paul's composure to slip.
"I don't believe it," he muttered. "It can't have been these six. Why would they worry him more than Charizard, or Sceptile?"
"It's because those are the six that he has seen you battle with," Professor Oak said. "He's seen you grow and develop with them. No doubt Charizard would give a good match but to him, beating those six will be his toughest challenge." Ash didn't respond, still staring at the six names. He folded the Pokedex shut and slipped it into his pocket, walking away without any further comment.
"Ash?" Dawn called.
"I haven't had breakfast, and I'm starving," he said, without looking back. "I'll see you guys later."
Brock and Dawn both turned back to the screen and Professor Oak, who sighed. "There's something bothering him, and it's affecting him badly," he said. "He's turned into a bundle of raw nerves, as cliché as that sounds. He'll need the two of you there with him; he needs his friends to talk to."
"We'll be there for him every step of the way," Dawn assured him.
"I'm glad," the Professor smiled before sighing again. "The preliminary matches start later this morning. I just hope that he can sort out whatever is bothering him soon, before it affects his battles."
Ash stared across at his opponent. He chewed his lip nervously. Of all of the Leagues that he had participated in, the Sinnoh League was by far the toughest. It wasn't because of how strong the other trainers were. It was the pace.
There was only one day of preliminaries before the Round Robin began. Each trainer had three one-on-one preliminary matches to get through, and they needed to win all three to get into the Round Robin. As if three important battles in one day wasn't bad enough, matches were timed to three minutes. If both Pokemon were still standing at the end of three minutes, the official would have to judge a winner.
His first two preliminary matches had gone smoothly enough. The downside was that you couldn't access each competitor's online profile to see their Pokemon yet. The upside was that he had so many registered, giving him some access to some of his most powerful for these stages. Staraptor and Sceptile had both defeated their opponents inside of two minutes.
He glanced up towards the scorecard, seeing his name in green, a clock, and his opponents name in red. A disc divided into several green and red segments and an arrow appeared on screen. The disc began to rotate and Ash transferred his gaze back to his opponent, a tall youth wearing a grey hoodie and a baseball cap. His opponent stood relaxed, watching the board with an air of disinterest.
There was a ping, and the referee called on Ash to choose his first Pokemon. He hesitated only briefly before settling on Donphan. As the elephantine ground-type appeared, his opponent smirked and quickly responded with a Swellow.
"Are you ready for this?" the opponent called. "You might as well just give up; nothing can hit my Swellow when it's in the air!" Ash grinned back, although his heart was not in it.
"Begin!" shouted the referee.
"Donphan, Take Down!" Ash ordered.
"Don-don-don-dondondondondon…" the ground-type grunted as it began to charge towards the Swellow.
"Swellow, dodge that with a quick attack and turn into Aerial Ace!" the opponent yelled.
"Defence Curl!" Ash shouted back. Donphan lunged at the Swellow, still in the midst of a Take Down. The Swellow flapped its wings once and shot far out of the attack's reach, pivoting in the air before returning with a devastating Aerial Ace of unbelievable speed. With no time to counter, Donphan followed Ash's command and curled into a tight ball. The Aerial Ace smashed into Donphan, leaving barely a mark but propelling the ground-type forwards. The Swellow let out a cry of pain and surprise, taking most of the damage from the attack and falling backwards to land on its tail.
"Use your momentum and go into a Rollout!" Ash shouted and, without leaving its Defence Curl, Donphan began to roll around the field at a high speed. The opponent's eyes widened.
"Get into the air, Swellow!" he screamed. The dazed Swellow had no idea where Donphan was. Its only option was to get into the air where it would be safe.
And that was no option at all.
The Rollout attack steamed into Swellow from behind as it began to flap. The attack caught Swellow completely by surprise, badly damaging the Pokemon but giving it the momentum it needed to get off the ground. The trainer grimaced and glanced at the clock; still two minutes left.
"Double Team and then Wing Attack!" he ordered his Swellow.
"Shoot it down with Rollout and Hidden Power!" Ash countered. Multiple Swellows shot down towards the ground-type, each of the dozen or so wings glowing dangerously. Donphan spun into a ball, opened its mouth, and shot a hail of glowing orbs into the air as it rotated. Not a square inch of sky was missed. As each orb encountered an illusion it vanished, leaving the real Swellow alone in the sky with an incoming Hidden Power to boot.
"Dodge it!" the opponent shouted in panic. His Pokemon did it's best to try and avoid the attack, but it couldn't miss every orb. One clipped its wing and sent it spinning out of control before another barrage hit it. The Swellow crashed to the ground, its energy completely spent.
"Swellow is unable to battle; Donphan is the winner!" the referee ruled, stopping the clock. "The winner of this match is Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town!" Ash let out a relieved breath and recalled Donphan, thanking it before he replaced the Poke Ball on his belt. Looking up he saw his opponent approaching. A grin was plastered on his face, but Ash could tell he was bitterly disappointed.
"Good job, Ash," he said, holding out his hand. "I didn't think anything could take down my Swellow, but you managed it. Good luck in the Round Robin."
"Thanks," Ash said, shaking the proffered hand. "Better luck next year, I guess." The trainer nodded and turned, walking away sadly. Ash stared after him for a moment before leaving the pitch; Dawn and Brock were waiting for him at the gate.
"Great battle, Ash!" Dawn beamed. "You got through those three matches really easily!"
"Pii-kachu!" Pikachu chimed in from her shoulder. Ash smiled and tickled Pikachu lightly under her chin. "Chaaahh," Pikachu cooed in delight. Feeling as if something was going right at last, she leaped onto his shoulder.
He stiffened at the contact, and Pikachu felt her heart plummet in disappointment. "Chuu," she murmured sadly, but then Ash relaxed and began to gently scratch her on her head. Her spirits quickly returning, Pikachu tickled him on the neck with her tail. Feeling a little better despite his guilt, Ash smiled at his friends.
"Thanks guys," he said. "I guess we'd better get to the Pokemon Centre now though and get Donphan all healed up for tomorrow." Brock groaned.
"Ash, you've forgotten again, haven't you?" he said.
"Forgotten what?" Ash asked, puzzled.
"The day after the preliminaries is a day-off for the competitors," Brock explained. "They can use it to relax or to train. It's also the time where all the trainer profiles are put online, so trainers can access data before the Round Robin matches."
"Oh yeah… Guess I did forget," Ash said sheepishly. "Well… we should still get Donphan healed." His stomach grumbled and an expression of comic surprise crossed his face.
"Pika pika," Pikachu chortled, and Brock and Dawn both grinned.
"And then get something to eat?" Dawn teased.
"Sounds good to me," he mumbled.
Both Brock and Dawn noticed that for several hours after his victory with Donphan and a quick snack, Ash seemingly returned to his old self. He kidded around, did some light training to reacquaint himself with the style and abilities of some of his older Pokemon, and was the cheerful guy they knew so well. After their evening meal was finished, however, his mood began to darken in time with the setting sun. The jokes and laughter stopped, and his tone turned from jovial to surly.
They were of course mystified by this transformation. They did not know of the longing he felt, or of the combat it had with his fear. Concerned about their friend, Brock and Dawn did not attempt to make any light conversation, and so when the three of them went to bed it was in a still and heavy atmosphere of doubt.
As Pikachu's gentle snores began to reverberate around the room from his chest Ash looked up blankly towards the ceiling, his fingers crossed beneath his head. He longed to fall asleep, but was desperate to stay awake. His head filled with this conflicting thought, he eventually drifted into an uneasy slumber filled with a mixture of anticipation and dread.
But the dream did not come.
Just a quick note; I'm aware that some parts of this have a slightly similar tone/theme with the beginning of Road to the Championship. Well, with the Paul part anyways. But like I say, it's been like that for nearly a year, so this really did come first!

The 2014 Kia Sorento works best as a five-passenger crossover, and includes a few high-tech features, such as an efficient engine and smartphone-linked telematics, that give it an edge over competitors.
The 2012 Kia Sorento EX emphasizes the utility in SUV, offering good carrying capacity and easy drivability. The cabin electronics are solid and useful, but lack any advanced features.
As tested, our 2.4-liter 2011 Kia Sorento EX is a pretty good value, with lots of space, acceptable performance, and a surprisingly good array of cabin technology; the 3.5-liter V-6 model has more power and a few more cabin niceties.
Pricing not available
The Kia Sorento can be had with seating for seven, and includes modern features such as an efficient direct-injection engine, a virtual speedometer, and driver-tunable steering.
The car will go on sale in the first quarter with mapping and destination info from Google.
Kia unveiled the 2014 Sorento at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show, and underneath its SUV-exterior lie unexpected technologies, from direct injection to an LCD instrument cluster.
It may not be the most luxurious SUV on the block, but Kia's Sorento offers solid features and room for seven passengers for about 30 grand.
Kia's Sorento fits three rows in a not-obscene package, but the tech is Sophie's Choice.
Kia releases a version of its Sorento SUV with a direct-injection engine, bringing ample power from a four-cylinder engine and better fuel economy than any other version of the vehicle.
A surprisingly nice little ride, with some great tech. Sock monkey not included.

Plenty of big names left for Day 2 of Draft
Bonus demands for top prep players push them out of Day 1
SECAUCUS, N.J. -- In theory, the idea of the First-Year Player Draft is for the best talent to go at the top of the Draft. Over the years, it hasn't always been borne out that way, with things like signability getting in the way of the teams who need help the most from taking the players they should based on ability.
That's slowly changed over the past few years, albeit with some exceptions, as teams at the top of the Draft especially are taking the player they felt was the best available and not worrying about what the bonus would have to be to get it done. That's led to more teams being willing to go over-slot, but it's also led to clubs like the Pirates and Royals going for the guy on the top of their board rather than reach for someone they knew they could sign. That's why Pedro Alvarez is wearing black and gold and Eric Hosmer is playing first base in Kansas City these days, just to name two examples.
What about in 2011? Did the top talent go off the board when it should have based solely on ability? For the most part, yes. A grand total of 35 of MLB.com's Top 50 Draft prospects went in the top 60 picks. A couple -- Matthew Purke and Josh Osich -- have injury concerns keeping them still on the board. Some -- Anthony Meo, Alex Dickerson, Peter O'Brien, Jason Esposito and Ricky Oropesa in particular -- were college players whose play dropped off a bit this spring or who teams probably felt could easily be picked up during day two.
As college heavy as the top of the Draft was -- 13 of the top 20, 19 of 33 -- it evened out and then some. By the time the supplemental first round was over the prepsters had taken over, with 32 of the 60 selections.
"It's not surprising that high school kids went more than college," said one scouting director whose team had multiple picks on Day 1 of the Draft. "The college guys can be had and signed later in the Draft, so the push was to get the 'signable' high school kids early and often."

Not all high school kids were signable, of course. The first 14 in the Top 50 were selected, but No. 15 Daniel Norris is still very much available. The Tennessee high school product has a commitment to Clemson and had put out a very hefty price tag. Whether he gets close to that amount remains to be seen, but one scouting director contacted after the night's activity had concluded thought that Norris will either find a team to come close to his bonus demand early on Tuesday or he'll go on to school.
Josh Bell is another player who went unselected, though he was clearly a first-round talent (rated No. 23 overall). But Bell had sent out a letter to teams saying he didn't want to be drafted because he wanted to go to the University of Texas. There was an industry debate over whether it was a ploy to push him to a specific team that would meet bonus demands or a sincere request. Undoubtedly, someone will draft him at some point on Tuesday or Wednesday, but it seems more and more likely that Bell will be a Longhorn in the fall.
Then there's Austin Hedges at No. 31. An advanced backstop defensively, scouts feel he'd be an everyday catcher just based on his glove work. If the bat develops, he could even be an All-Star. But Hedges has a strong commitment to UCLA, and it was believed he would need an above-slot deal to get him to walk away from that.
Where players such as Norris, Bell and Hedges -- as well as Top 50 players like Andrew Susac -- go in the Draft will be one of the more intriguing story lines in the following 48 rounds of the Draft. Certain teams -- the Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers come to mind -- are often associated with such Day 2 selections.
This isn't ideal, obviously. Those young players, in a perfect world, should have gone among the top 60 picks if all was fair and equal. Perhaps a new system that includes slotting will take care of that in 2012, but for now this is the system teams have to work with. The good news is that even with these fairly big examples, for the most part teams got it right with the 60 names that were announced on Monday night.
"You line up your board, you see a big chunk of your board missing, you know that [players went when they should]," another scouting director said. "We ranked guys, then you sit there. You have a guy ranked 15th on your board and you start thinking, 'Man, it would be great if that guy was there when you picked next.' Then he goes and you try not to react to what other guys pick because you don't have time."
"There were a few guys that went a little deeper than they might have if signability would have been more in line," the first scouting director said. "But yes. I think for the most part it went where it was supposed to go."

Early Ag Group Response to State of the Union
Late Tuesday night - National Farmers Union President Roger Johnson, Growth Energy CEO Tom Buis and Renewable Fuels Association President and CEO Bob Dinneen had positive things to say about the President's State of the Union Address. Johnson applauded the commitment of President Obama and the administration to address the nation's budget deficit through both reasonable revenue increases and responsible spending reductions. According to Johnson - another round of withering cuts through sequestration must be prevented in order for important programs to remain effective. NFU was also encouraged by the President's call for Congress to pass a market-based solution to climate change. Johnson says extreme weather events are hurting the ability of America's farmers and ranchers to provide the nation with food, feed, fiber and fuel. But with the right incentives - he says agriculture can play a significant role in combating climate change by being a part of the solution. The President's emphasis on finding a bipartisan solution to the nation's immigration crisis was also commended. But Johnson notes the ag industry faces different challenges than other U.S. industries - and says any comprehensive immigration reform proposal must recognize and address the industry's needs.
President Obama also spoke of the importance of jobs and strengthening the American economy. Renewable Fuels Association President Bob Dinneen notes biofuels can provide the eco-boost the U.S. economy needs. He says ethanol is a high octane engine driving economic growth and job creation - especially in rural America. But he says ethanol's ability to strengthen the country's security and stability doesn't end with job creation. The President stated the U.S. has purchased less foreign oil than it has in 20 years. Dinneen says 465-million barrels of imported oil were displaced because of domestically produced ethanol. NFU's Johnson points out that farmers and ranchers are leading the way in the clean energy revolution.
Growth Energy CEO Tom Buis says reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and foreign oil is imperative for developing a sustainable, cleaner fuel for the future - and applauds the President for his ambitious goals for renewable energy. With a renewed emphasis on sustainable biofuels - Buis says the industry will continue to create good paying jobs that cannot be outsourced, revitalize the economy, drive cutting edge research and investment, as well as provide consumers with a choice and savings at the pump - all while reducing our dependence on foreign oil.
RFA's Dinneen also highlighted President Obama's vision of a stronger, cleaner, more self-reliant country and his continuing support of the renewable fuels industry and the Renewable Fuel Standard. Working together - he said we can continue to address environmental issues such as meaningful greenhouse gas reduction as well as the tough economic challenges of job creation and economic and national security.

14Lady Gaga Is Getting Surgery
Lady Gaga is in serious pain, you guys – like, way legit. I really had no idea how bad her injuries were, but apparently she needs surgery. She had to cancel her tour due to "a labral tear of the right hip" and the chronic pain it caused. She is suffering from synovitis, a "severe inflammation of joints."
From Gaga's Twitter page this morning:
Presumably her "Little Monsters" are freaking out and impaling themselves on unicorn horns or whatever they do. I'm sure Gaga has access to the top medical care in the country (maybe even world) and is gonna be okay, da da da do, just dance.
She also posted a photo on her Instagram account and on her Twitter account of a wheelchair with the caption "This is Emma." When reached for comment, her publicist said, "She and Emma are just good friends." I'm kidding.
Get well, Gaga!

Great! Maybe we won't have to read about her for awhile
Truth… Or ever again – but that's wishful thinking..
She is borderline-positive for Lupus, which would cause her health problems. Before you make fun of someone for having a legitimate illness, do some research. Or have a heart, I don't care; but do something to be less ignorant.
PS. New writer; go back to English 101 and work on proofreading. Thank you.
I don't believe Miss St. Ives was making fun of Gaga injuries , the little monsters were under fire tho. Sounds to me like you're a little monster looking for a unicorn… Good luck with that ! BTW…writers don't do their own proofing.
Talk about proof reading shouldn't it be spelled southernraised and not sourthernraised ? Just saying in case you would like to fix it ! I could be wrong !
Seriously? Julia, you are without a doubt the LAST person to be giving advice on spelling. I am, however, glad you only used 2 exclamation points in this post
I'm just saying, in case you want to go fix all of your past posts ! :)
To everyone bitching about my name: it's a play off of being Southern, and whiskey sours.
It's only one bitchin'…. I totally got your nic! I was, however, bustin on Julia. Reading her posts sometimes makes my head ache!
probably has nothing to do with her shoe choices …
She should retire. If she has "borderline" lupus, what better time to retire and care for her health than right now. This moment.
Word…. But mankind isnt that lucky!
Chaz … I was trying to be nice about the persons name ! Their are nice people out their , I was by no means bitching ! I'm glad they explained it and for you I hope I give you a fucking migraine !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are right, THERE are nice people out THERE. I am sometimes one of them. You however, are caustic!

To get to the volcano, visitors can take highway CA-9 toward the south coast and turn left at kilometer 37 toward the municipality of San Vicente Pacaya. Volcano Pacaya is 2,500 meters high and is located between the departments of Guatemala and Escuintla. It has been throwing out piro-plastic materials, typical of a Strombolian eruption, for more than 30 years. This volcano also has a secondary conduit called Pico Mackenney or Mackenney's Peak as well as three other peaks, known locally as Cerro Chino (Chinese Hill), Cerro Grande (Big Hill) and Cerro Chiquito (Little Hill).
