Pregnancy loss associated with miscarriage or stillbirth is
common, affecting more than an estimated 1 million women in
the USA and 70000–90000 women in the UK each year.1Between
14 and 20% of clinically recognised pregnancies end in
miscarriage,2defined as the loss of an intrauterine pregnancy from
natural causes before the 24th (in the UK) or 20th (in the USA)
week of pregnancy. Stillbirth, or the loss of a pregnancy prior to
delivery after the 20th week (USA) or 24th week (UK) of gestation
due to natural causes, is estimated to occur in nearly 1 in 200
Thereis significant
morbidityassociatedwith prenatal
significantly elevated levels of depression and anxiety in the weeks
and months following the loss, compared with samples of
pregnant, community or postpartum women.5–10Between 50
and 80% of women who experience prenatal loss become pregnant
again.11–14That is significant because women with a history of
prenatal loss are consistently reported to exhibit significantly
elevated rates of anxiety and depressive symptoms during a
subsequent pregnancy.14–18What is not clear from existing studies
of the impact of prenatal loss is whether or not symptoms
associated with a previous loss persist beyond the birth of a
subsequent (healthy) child (see also Hughes et al,14Armstrong
et al,18Hunfeld et al19). That is, does the birth of a healthy baby
resolve the affective symptoms associated with previous loss or
do the symptoms persist? Prior research has been unable to answer
this important question because of limited follow-up periods,
small sample sizes, selection biases, lack of control groups and lack
of data on subsequent birth outcomes that may alter postnatal
adjustment. The current study capitalised on a large community
sample (Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children
(ALSPAC)) that had several research design advantages that
allowed us to differentiate between two competing hypotheses
loss.Women exhibit
with substantial clinical and public health significance: a history
of prenatal loss would be associated with elevated depressive
and anxiety symptoms that would be limited to the prenatal
period, i.e. the birth of a healthy child would resolve the impact
of the previous loss; and a history of prenatal loss would have a
persisting effect on depressive and anxiety symptoms that
extended beyond the birth of a subsequent healthy child.
Data for this study were obtained as part of ALSPAC, an ongoing
population-based study designed to investigate the effects of a
wide range of influences on the health and development of
Study population
Pregnant women residing in the Avon area of south-west England
who had an estimated date of delivery between 1 April 1991 and
31 December 1992, were invited to participate in the study. It was
estimated that 85–90% of the eligible population participated.20
All data used for this study were collected via postal question-
naires. The study cohort consisted of 14541 pregnancies and
13998 children who were still alive at 12 months of age. The study
protocol has been published previously,20and further details can
be found at: www.bris.ac.uk/alspac. Ethical approval for all
measures was obtained from the ALSPAC Ethics and Law
Committee and from local research ethics committees. The
current study focuses on the 13133 women for whom we had data
on previous prenatal loss. The data for the current study are based
on six assessments, two during pregnancy at 18 and 32 weeks'
Previous prenatal loss as a predictor of perinatal
depression and anxiety

Prenatal loss, the death of a fetus/child through miscarriage
or stillbirth, is associated with significant depression and
anxiety, particularly in a subsequent pregnancy.
This study examined the degree to which symptoms of
depression and anxiety associated with a previous loss
persisted following a subsequent successful pregnancy.
Data were derived from the Avon Longitudinal Study of
Parents and Children cohort, a longitudinal cohort study in
the west of England that has followed mothers from
pregnancy into the postnatal period. A total of 13133
mothers reported on the number and conditions of previous
perinatal losses and provided self-report measures of
depression and anxiety at 18 and 32 weeks' gestation and at
8 weeks and 8, 21 and 33 months postnatally. Controls for
pregnancy outcome and obstetric and psychosocial factors
were included.
Generalised estimating equations indicated that the number
of previous miscarriages/stillbirths significantly predicted
symptoms of depression (b=0.18, s.e.=0.07, P50.01) and
anxiety (b=0.14, s.e.=0.05, P50.01) in a subsequent
pregnancy, independent of key psychosocial and obstetric
factors. This association remained constant across the pre-
and postnatal period, indicating that the impact of a previous
prenatal loss did not diminish significantly following the birth
of a healthy child.
Depression and anxiety associated with a previous prenatal
loss shows a persisting pattern that continues after the birth
of a subsequent (healthy) child. Interventions targeting
women with previous prenatal loss may improve the health
outcomes of women and their children.

gestation, and four in the postpartum period, at 8 weeks and 8, 21
and 33 months.
Prenatal loss
At the assessment at 18 weeks' gestation, respondents were asked
to report the number of previous miscarriages and the number of
previous stillbirths that they had experienced. Although the terms
'miscarriage' and 'stillbirth' were not explicitly defined, in the UK
a stillbirth certificate is issued where there was a prenatal death
after 24 weeks' gestation; accordingly, respondents who did
experience a stillbirth would have had that document to designate
formally a stillbirth. We also collected data on the number of
previous elective terminations; these were counted separately.
Maternal anxiety at each occasion was measured using the anxiety
items from the Crown–Crisp Experiential Index (CCEI), a
validated self-rating inventory.21It has been shown to correlate
with the State (0.70) and Trait (0.76) subscales of the Spielberger
State–Trait Anxiety Inventory.22There is no established clinical
cut-off, and so for categorical analyses we defined a mother as
anxious if she scored in the top 15% of the sample.
Depression Scale (EPDS), a 10-item self-report questionnaire that
has been extensively used and shown to be valid in and outside the
postnatal period.23A cut-off score of 512 is recommended to
identify cases of probable major depression.24
was assessedusingtheEdinburghPostnatal
A series of covariates were chosen because of their known links
with depression and/or anxiety or because they were thought
a priori to be a possible confound linking prenatal loss and
depressive and anxiety symptoms. Specific covariates included
maternal age at initial interview, currently living with husband
or partner, number of living children, education level, ethnicity
and use of tobacco and alcohol during the first 3 months of the
pregnancy. Respondents were also asked 'Have you ever had a
severe depression?' Those who answered 'yes, in the past not
now' were classified as having a previous depressive episode. Birth
weight was used as an indicator of healthy birth outcome; we
dichotomised weight into 42500g or 42500g representing low
or normal birth weight. Gestational age at birth was dichotomised
into 532 weeks or 432 weeks. A household crowding index was
ascertained, which represents the number of residents per room. A
high crowding index score is well established as an indicator of
low socioeconomic status, a highly stressful situation, and is
associated with high morbidity and mortality risks in a range of
health outcomes.25
Statistical analysis
Generalised estimating equations (or GEE) is a method used for
longitudinal data modelling. This method is semi-parametric
and therefore does not require normal distribution assumptions
to be met. Given that depression and anxiety can be treated as
discrete or continuous data they do not meet normality
assumptions for parametric data analysis. The GEE was performed
to model the change of depression and anxiety over time. A
backward elimination procedure was applied to control covariates
and interactions. It should be noted that there were a significant
number of missing values for depression and anxiety, especially
for the last two visits. Specifically, sample sizes at the six visits were
12121, 12096, 11710, 11195, 10259 and 9683. The impact of
missing data was characterised by model estimates through two
well-established missing data mechanisms: the missing completely
at random assumption and the missing at random assumption.26
The missing completely at random assumption was tested by
modelling the missingness as a function of observed responses
and baseline covariates using logistic regression. It was found that
depression at previous visit was a strong predictor, thus the
missing completely at random assumption is inappropriate and
weighted generalised estimating equations (WGEE) were used
with weights estimated from the logistic model for missing data.26
Online Table DS1 provides descriptive data on the sample. The
majority (n=10310, 79%) of women reported no miscarriages.
Rates of previous stillbirths were low, with n=106 (0.8%)
reporting one and just three women reporting two prior stillbirths.
The first analysis examined whether stillbirths predicted
subsequent depressive and anxiety symptoms more strongly than
miscarriage. The non-parametric Wilcoxon rank sum test was
applied to each visit to check whether there was any difference
in depression and anxiety symptom scores between mothers
who experienced a previous miscarriage and mothers who
experienced a previous stillbirth. Results indicated that the
difference between stillbirth and miscarriage was not significant
(P=0.27). Thus, stillbirth and miscarriage were combined in the
analyses below.
Figure 1(a) and (b) present the mean (95% CI) scores of
depressive and anxiety symptoms across the assessment period
according to the number of previous losses (miscarriages and
Table 1 presents results from the GEE model. Results indicate
that, as expected, many of the psychosocial and sociodemographic
covariates were associated with depressive and anxiety symptom
scores. In addition, there was a significant prediction from the
number of prenatal losses for both depressive and anxiety
symptom scores. The magnitude of the effect was moderate: for
each additional prenatal loss there was a corresponding increase
of approximately one-quarter of a standard deviation in mood
symptoms. Analyses to test the hypothesis that previous prenatal
loss was a stronger predictor for pre- than postnatal assessments
was carried out using an interaction between time of assessment
and prenatal loss. For neither depressive nor anxiety symptoms
was there an interaction between time of assessment and prenatal
loss; that is, the association between prenatal loss and depressive
and anxiety symptoms was not significantly different across the
pre- and postnatal assessments (the interactions are not included
in the final models in Table 1).
Table 2 shows the percentage and number of women who
scored greater than 12 on the EPDS, which is indicative of a case
of probable major depression, grouped by the number of losses.
Supplementary analyses
Analyses were re-run using categorical cut-off scores for
depression and anxiety rather than a continuous scale. We found
substantively comparable results using this alternate scaling. Given
the overlap between depressive and anxious symptoms across the
reproductive period, a final set of regression analyses (not
reported; details available from the author) was carried out to
investigate whether the effect of prenatal loss on anxious
Robertson Blackmore et al

Prenatal loss and depression and anxiety
symptoms was distinguishable from that for depressive symptoms
and vice versa. It was not. The association between prenatal
loss and anxious symptoms was confounded by the association
between prenatal loss and depressive symptoms and the high
degree of covariation between anxious and depressive symptoms
(4r=0.70 at each assessment).
Main findings
We found no evidence that affective symptoms associated with
previous prenatal loss resolve with the birth of a healthy child.
Rather, previous prenatal loss showed a persisting prediction
of depressive and anxiety symptoms well after what would
conventionally be defined as the postnatal period. There were
changes over time in the perinatal period in depression and
anxiety, but these did not vary significantly for women with
different histories of prenatal loss. The predictions of anxious
and depressive symptoms were similar and inseparable, the
result of comparable effect sizes and the high degree of overlap
between the two dimensions. Previous studies had documented
that women who had experienced miscarriage or stillbirth had
significantly higher levels of anxiety and depression in a
subsequent pregnancy.5,9,6,27The current study extends this
work by showing that the impact persists well past the
subsequent pregnancy and despite the birth of a healthy child
(indexed here by birth weight and gestational age of the
subsequent child).
Findings from other studies
Our findings of prolonged and elevated depressive and anxious
symptoms in women with a prior prenatal loss nearly 3 years after
the birth of a subsequent child contrast with some previous
studies. Hughes et al14found that, compared with controls,
women who were pregnant subsequent to a stillbirth had
significantly higher levels of depression and state anxiety during
pregnancy, but did not differ from controls at 6 and 26 weeks
postpartum. Interestingly, the subset of women who conceived less
than a year following the stillbirth had significantly higher
depression and anxiety scores across all time points than women
who conceived after a year. The possibility that time since previous
prenatal loss moderates the persisting impact of distress could not
be examined in this study because we did not have reliable
information on the timing of the previous loss. It may be that a
more recent loss is associated with higher levels of affective
symptoms that continue in the postpartum period, perhaps as a
function of bereavement.6,14
Although Armstrong et al18also reported that depressive and
anxious symptoms during pregnancy decreased following the
birth of a healthy child, they noted that mothers with higher levels

Robertson Blackmore et al
of depression and anxiety in the postpartum period reported
increased concerns about their investment in and health concerns
about their infant. This raises the important issue of how and
whether previous perinatal loss and associated mood symptoms
may alter child outcomes. Limited available data suggest that
mothers may have more concerns about and greater difficulty
managing the needs of a child born after a prenatal loss;19,28also,
12-month-old infants born following prenatal loss were reported
to show higher rates of disorganised attachment patterns to their
mothers than children born into families without a loss history.
Thus, even if there is no persistence of mood disturbance into the
postnatal period, there may still be adverse effects of a previous
prenatal loss on the parent–child relationship and child outcomes.
This possibility requires further attention.
Brockington31has argued that pregnancy and childbirth
should be seen as a general stressor, like any other life event
that can potentially trigger an affective illness episode.32The
current findings underscore the view that pregnancy and
childbirth are major life events, a careful assessment of which
may reveal information of value in understanding psychiatric
Clinical implications
There are important clinical implications of this work. Currently,
prenatal loss is not routinely considered a risk factor for antenatal
or postpartum depression in the same way as, for instance,
personal or family history of depression, exposure to stressful life
events or lack of social support. Our findings suggest that
routinely assessing loss history, which could be accomplished
briefly and without some of the report bias that accompanies
other assessments, would be valuable as a predictor of current

Prenatal loss and depression and anxiety
and postpartum risk and as a possible marker for intervention.
Approximately 15% of women experience clinically significant
antenatal depression and anxiety33and so recognition of and
effective treatment for perinatal mood disturbance are of the
utmost importance. Both prenatal depression and anxiety are
among the biggest predictors of postpartum depression,34,35which
in turn has deleterious effects on maternal–child attachment, child
behaviour, and cognitive and neuroendocrine outcomes that
persist into adolescence.36–40Given the adverse outcomes of
persistent maternal depression on both child and family
outcomes, early recognition of symptoms can lead to preventive
interventions to reduce the burden of illness, provide coping
strategies to reduce anxiety and depression and promote healthy
adjustment of the mother, family and child.
Strengths and limitations
Strengths of the study include the large community sample and
detailed and repeated assessments of depressive and anxiety
symptoms in the prenatal and postnatal period; the follow-up well
past the postnatal period is a particular novelty in this area of
study. There are, however, limitations. Participants were asked
about the number of miscarriages and stillbirths experienced
retrospectively, which could be subject to recall bias. However,
the objective nature of the event provides some protection against
this possibility, and the persistence of effect years after the enquiry
about perinatal loss makes a simple recall bias account unlikely.
Self-reports of prenatal loss may be underestimated insofar as
mothers are often unaware of spontaneous early miscarriages.4
Accordingly, the current study is able to assess the psychological
impact of prenatal loss, but is not positioned to examine
biological hypotheses that there may be risk underlying both
prenatal loss and the experience of depressive and anxiety
symptoms. Finally, as noted, we were unable to assess the impact
of time since loss as a potential predictor of postpartum mood.

Melancholia in Chaha ˆr Maqa ˆle, a 12th-century Persian text
Neil Aggarwal
Little is known about the life of Ahmed ibn 'Umar ibn 'Alı ˆ, better known as Niza ˆmı ˆ 'Aru ˆzı ˆ. The only information resides in his own text
outlining travels throughout Uzbekistan and Afghanistan to collect biographies of famous poets. He reached Iran and became the
court poet of the sultan Sanjar in 1116/1117 AD. His monumental Chaha ˆr Maqa ˆle (Four Discourses) addresses the four professions
indispensable for a sound ruler: poet, civil secretary, astrologer and physician. The work entered the literary canon within the
13th century.
Four Discourses is rich in cultural history. For example, 'Aru ˆzı ˆ lists essential works for the mastery of medicine. Moreover, his
narratives resemble case presentations. Contemporary readers can therefore compare symptoms across time and space.
In one anecdote on melancholia, a person dear to the Buyid ruler 'Ala ˆ al-Dawla becomes so delusional that he considers himself
a cow. He asks people to kill and eat him even as he fasts. Since no physician could treat him, the ruler entreats his trusted vizier
Ibn Sı ˆna (Avicenna), who dispatches two men with word of a butcher's arrival. The young man rejoices. As they bind his limbs,
Ibn Sı ˆna inspects him like a butcher, but protests that he is too thin for slaughter. Ibn Sı ˆna orders specific foods and medicines
to fatten him up. The young man cheerfully obliges. Ibn Sı ˆna continues to consult and within a month the man's health returns.
Notable lessons can be drawn from this anecdote. Like today, one millennium ago physicians struggled to manage psychotic
depression. Ibn Sı ˆna's status as minister also reveals the historical esteem of physicians. Finally, physicians working within the
patient's psychological world tend to succeed, even through unorthodox means. This helps explain Ibn Sı ˆna's lasting reputation.

Category talk:Ultrasound
From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository
I think Category:Ultrasound should remain and Category:Medical Ultrasound should be merged into the former. Does anyone object? Dar-Ape 21:05, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- I disagree. Ultrasound is a physical phenomenon, and this a different thing to visualisation of ultrasound-created informations in medicine. What about technical applications and basic physical facts? IMHO it would be better to fuse them in another lemma like Sonography (or the existent Category:Medical Ultrasound), and this could be a Subcategory of Category:Ultrasound. My2cents and sorry for my poor english :o) --Kalumet 22:51, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
- I like the idea of Category:Medical Ultrasound being a subcategory of Category:Ultrasound, except that every single picture in both categories is medical. So if we did make C:MU a subcategory of C:U, the C:U page would contain nothing except for a link to C:MU. However, to counter myself, if any non-medical ultrasound images are ever uploaded, this will provide a good way to keep them separate. Perhaps we should do this? (And on the contrary, congratulations for knowing a second language so well! I only wish I did...) Dar-Ape 02:12, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I applied online through the company website, and received a phone call from a Sanjel recruiter around 4 weeks later. I then played phone tag with the recruiter for about a week, before she left me a message telling me that she was scheduling an interview for me the next day, and that I should call her back to let her know if that time worked for me. On the voicemail she also explained that she was a recruiter, and the reason I could never get her on the phone was because she was in and out of meetings all day. She told me that if I confirmed the interview time, she would then send me a confirmation email. I did not receive an email until the next day, 2 hours before the scheduled interview time. Until I received that email I had no clue whether or not I had the interview time. Needless to say, I rushed to get ready and be at the interview on time.

Search will continue to drive growth over the next five years, a new JupiterResearch forecast concludes.
Online advertising will grow to represent 9 percent of overall advertising spending by 2011, and search will continue to be the driver of growth. That's according to the latest JupiterResearch forecast, "U.S. Online Advertising Forecast, 2006 to 2011."
The researchers pegged online advertising to reach $25.9 billion in revenues by 2011, rising at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11 percent over the next five years.
Search is expected to continue to lead growth, increasing from 41 percent of all online ad spending, or $6.5 billion, in 2006, to comprise 43 percent of online ad spending, or $11.1 billion, by 2011. JupiterResearch attributed that rise to higher keyword prices, new marketers entering search and the usage of larger keyword lists.
Display advertising, which is forecast to reach $9.2 billion in 2011, will be marked by dramatic growth in certain of its subsets. Rich media spending is expected to climb at a 21 percent compounded annual growth rate, while video expenditures are forecast to increase at a 27 percent CAGR through 2011. Broadband adoption and traditional advertisers' fondness for the formats are the trend's drivers, according to Jupiter analysts.
Text ads, the report concludes will see slower growth, in part because publishers will abandon the contextual links that are currently popular. That's because they'll figure out ways to better monetize remnant inventory via rich media and behavioral targeting.

I need to take data from a wordpress site(posts) and put it natively into an android app.I have tried a few approaches but am getting lost in my own head. I have access to the admin panel so I can add plugins if need be.
Possible ways(in my mind):
RSS Parser(best option for android?) JSON api for wordpress(can I use this for android?) ???
I tried using XMLPullParser and I can get the posts into a ListView but I cannot find a way to parse the text of the article(the XML contains the full text for all articles).
Any ideas? I can post my current code if necessary.

04-08-2013 07:15 AM - edited 04-08-2013 07:35 AM
So I set up my account online last week and have been checking. I logged in just a few minutes ago to see that AMEX did, indeed remember me....they have backdated me to 1994!!!!
I logged in to Discover as well; they afforded me a nice initial limit of $4000. I'm happy with that, too.
AMEX HP'd EX, and Discover HP'd EQ. Both took a few days to report.
This is my first AMEX since having a CO with them almost 10 years ago. If I app for and receive another card, does that card also affect my AAoA? As I refused to do business any longer with Orchard and HSBC MCs last year (they wouldn't raise my CL or waive my AF, so they were costing me more than they were worth) my AAoA dropped to just under 6 years, as I apped for CSP just prior, thus lowering my average. I know that when this one reports it will help, but was wondering if another will also make a difference (does that make sense?) Are odds usually good on two cards (I was given a $11,000 initial CL and will ask for a CLI in 61 days, but won't be asking for 3x...maybe 2x, but not 3x).
Since my HPs have reported at this point I am not going to app for Citi or Barclay as planned and will garden for a bit while I decide what to do. What is the best strategy to employ if I want another card with AMEX, and is it truly a soft unless approved once I am in their system? Am I correct in assuming that an additional AMEX is the best route to go (rather than bothering with Citi or Barclay), and if so, any advice as to which one? My BCP, when it arrives, will become my go-to gas and grocery PIF card. I should easily make the spend requirement for the $250 bonus, too.
Thanks so much....I would NEVER have had the courage to app with AMEX without this board.
Edited to clarify AAoA.
Congrats on your Amex and reacquiring your membership date status to 94! That's awesome!

"Card is gorgeous, can't be be beat for formatting, customization and price. I would have given 5 stars except there were a lot of issues with the website and I had to call in and have a customer service agent make the card for me blindly. It took a lot of time and patience that I didn't have, especially with a newborn, but the customer service was great and I have already reordered more. PS If you want the tiny prints logo removed at the back, just ask."
"I loved this announcement. I had newborn photos taken professionally. For the announcement I used a fall themed picture and it matched perfectly with the orange on the card. The cards are nice and thick. The bows on the back were a cute touch. I got a lot of great feedback from everyone I sent these to. I am also very impressed with the quickness that I received them."
"Wonderful design, really happy with the orange color and the painterly style. Excited to send this out. Wish the print quality a little more crisp but overall very happy with the end result."
"I used this design for my daughter's birth announcement. I was very happy with it as it gave room for a nice big picture and announced her birth in more of a story form instead of just a few facts scattered across the page, as some announcements are designed. I was able to add another sentence on to the original wording without having to change the font size, though any more lines than that would have caused me to size it smaller. Overall the turnout was great. My only other comment was that the the final product looked ever so slightly grainy in the flesh tones on her arm. No idea why it was one spot (on all of them) and not over the whole picture but I doubt anyone other than me noticed. Her smile stole the show!"
"This card was exactly what we were looking for. It is simple and beautiful. The card stock was thick and felt very high end. We used these as adoption announcements for our daughter and changed the text to read "Coming Soon." The ability to customize the announcement was greatly appreciated as she is not an infant. All in all we received exactly what we expected to receive and have already recommended this site to our friends."

Pokemon Black Version 2
This is a split board - You can return to the Split List for other boards.
How to make a successful GBU Random Singles team?
Basically topic. I'm trying to put together a team to play singles random matches on the GBU, however there are a few obstacles due to the flat battle system that I'm having trouble with. I was hoping if someone with decent singles GBU experience could help me out.
1.) Only 3 Pokemon. Well... hold 6, pick 3, and preview.
Due to the fact that you can only pick 3 pokemon, it really cuts down options regarding strategy. Namely, stall teams aren't going to be as effective. So that generally just leaves an offensive team. Entry Hazards/Setup doesn't seem like a very good way to play either. However, what other strategies are viable in a flat battle scenario?
2.) Item Clause. I'm having trouble with deciding which pokemon should get what item. How do you decide which pokemon gets the Life Orb, and which gets the Expert Band, or Power Band for example? Additionally, Choice Items are also very risky, and a Focus Sash will basically make or break a victory.
3.) Banlist. The banlist is completely different from the "standard Smogon OU" if you will. Should I just be spamming Garchomp whenever I get the chance?
tl;dr, I am wondering what strategies are successful for random match single battles on the GBU, and perhaps how successful players deal with the above challenges?
Currently Playing: Pokemon White 2 [3/DS] - Reikou@0991-7916-2216
3DS Friend Code: Reikou@1977-0116-7656
I can't really help you with 1. However, regarding 2 and 3: Item Clause doesn't seem to be much of an issue, as I don't see a lot of visible held item effects on there. I assume most people are ditching Life Orbs for type-specific boosters, so that eliminates one of the most commonly repeated items. Since it is a mostly offensive game, as you stated, Leftovers aren't repeated either, since you won't see that many walls. As for the banlist, yes, you can spam Garchomp as much as you want. However, this is an entirely different game, and I find Garchomp to be a lot more ineffective than in "Smogon OU", so you will probably have to rebuild your notions of overpowered Pokemon, since we're changing the rules completely.

DW Ninetales, DW Venusaur, DW Blaziken sounds like fun, using Sleep moves and sun-boosted attacks to let Blaziken sweep. Something like Balloon, Life Orb, Lum Berry. Other team members could be Choice-Trick users or Wobbuffet to help Blaziken get in.
Maybe try out Ttar, Metagross/Garchomp, Excadrill, with Lum Berry, Balloon, and Life Orb.
Of course, I haven't played GBU at all so I have no experience there, that's just what I'd try out as a start for fun.

RELATED:"Rail Operators Steadily Moving Toward PTC Implementation"
The Bombardier/Siemens joint venture is serving as the MTA's Positive Train Control system integrator under a $428.5 million contract awarded last November. The contract amendment goes to the full MTA board for consideration on Wednesday.
The amended contract would expedite by up to nearly two years the retrofitting of 836 LIRR and 474 Metro-North rail cars to enable them for send and receive Positive Train Control signals. Those retrofits will now be completed by April 2017.
The amended contract also will allow the railroads to deploy equipment at 175 locations alongside the tracks that will facilitate communication between the Positive Train Control central computers and the computers on board trains. This move will expedite by up to one year the installation of PTC on territory covering 85% to 90% of the railroads' customers.Positive Train Control will enhance existing train dispatching and signaling systems by automatically enforcing temporary and permanent speed restrictions and automatically stopping trains at red signals.
The study found that lower-wage workers often endure the most brutal commutes, and the findings suggest a need for workplace policies that help to balance work and family life, in addition to better investment in our mass transit system.
The conference agenda is currently being developed by a team of industry experts and will cover five key areas: community outreach and education; enforcement; design, technology and infrastructure; intentional acts/deaths; and pedestrian safety.
Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL), member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development and Related Agencies, led a bipartisan letter to the THUD Subcommittee with 10 members of the Illinois House delegation urging full funding for mass transit and passenger rail in next year's THUD budget.
The proposed cuts represent a 45% decrease in CTA state funding or a $130 million cut; a 60% decrease in Metra state funding or a $20.8 million cut; a 41% decrease in Pace state funding or a $10 million cut; and a 15% decrease in ADA paratransit state funding or $8.5 million cut.
The 9.4-mile Jacksonville Transportation Authority's North Corridor line is the second segment of a five-phased First Coast Flyer BRT system planned for the area. It will connect to the first BRT line in downtown Jacksonville now under construction and extend north to Interstate 295.

NYC To Vote On Controversial Sugary Drinks Ban
By editor
The New York City Board of Health is set to vote Thursday on Mayor Michael Bloomberg's controversial plan to ban large sugary drinks. The beverage industry is mounting a fierce campaign against the ban. But public health experts say it's a good first step to combat rising obesity rates.

Roma Tomatoes
I did a veggie garden last year and I am late for planting this year for seeds, so i had to cheat and buy seedlings, but my question is do the roma tomato plants grow as big as the "best boy" tomato plants? I have planted two on opposite corners of a 4x4 raised garden. Also, is that too close to each other?
The variety of Roma that I have been growing, are determinate, and max out at the size of a large bush. I'd estimate their peak size at around 3-4ft tall, with a max diameter of 24-30" across.
Last year I nearly got two full crops off the plants. Only reason the late crop didn't ripen come October, was the placement of my plants. So this year I moved my 8 Romas to a section of the yard that will still receive 8+ hours of sun in the Fall (full South-facing...). Fingers crossed we receive two FULL harvests of tomatoes off these 8 plants.
Opposite corners of the raised bed should be perfect.. I have my plants spaced about 3-4ft apart...

Hi: 13° Lo:7°
By Dan Santy Monday 05 November 2012 Updated: 19/12 15:36
BOROUGH council stalwart Gordon Collett has died aged 81.
The former councillor of 34 years passed away yesterday (Sunday) after a battle with cancer.
Mr Collett first became a borough councillor in 1973, holding the seat for Leam Valley ward from then until stepping down in 2007.
Between 1977 and 1978 he was Mayor, and he had two stints as council leader from 1978 to 1987, and again from 1989 to 1995.
He was also a county councillor for Warwickshire, serving Dunchurch ward for many years until stepping down in 2009.
During his time as a councillor, Mr Collett campaigned on many rural issues and was involved in the earliest discussions of the Western Relief Road when it was first suggested 30 years ago.
In the council chamber he was known for his quips, called 'Collettisms'. Remarks of his included: "A pig with one ear can't walk straight."

OMB officials unveil 25-step plan
Industry members are praising the Obama administration's 25-step implementation plan for IT management reform, saying that many of its action items align with popular commercial practices.
Officials released the reform plan Thursday morning and detailed the federal government's goal to engage more with industry, shift to a "cloud first" policy, and its intent to terminate inefficient IT systems within 18 months. Despite the scope of the plan's ambition, management advocates in the industry community said it seems feasible.
"None of it seems undoable," Andy Robinson, chair of the Industry Advisory Council, said. "I didn't see anything that struck me as impossible to accomplish. Industry is ready for it to happen."

Agencies: Don't fear talk with contractors
Federal CIO Vivek Kundra provided an overview of the report at a White House event, which was attended by federal agency leaders and industry members. Kundra highlighted elements of the report, such as redefining the role of agency CIOs and removing barriers to entry for small innovative technology firms. He also stressed the government's bottom-line goal of execution.
To ensure the measures outlined in the report are actually being achieved, Kundra said the government will issue six-month progress reports on individual action items. Action items are also assigned to "owners" or specific federal agencies to increase accountability.
Tim Young, a senior manager at Deloitte Consulting and a former Office of Management and Budget official, said he doesn't think the government's plan is overly ambitious, it just incorporates new ideas.
Young also said that many of the steps the government will take are consistent with leading business practices, including an iterative IT transformation, implementing shared services and emerging technologies, and integrating IT management. He added that it is imperative for the government to be transparent in its execution of this reform strategy.
Further, Young said he thinks the administration's biggest challenge in IT reform will be sustained implementation. "The gap that exists between strategy and implementation is big and requires constant focus," he said.
Sources generally agreed that working with Congress to develop flexible budget models that align with modular development will also be one of the most arduous tasks the administration undertakes.
Trey Hodgkins, vice president of national security and federal procurement policy at TechAmerica, said budget reform will be difficult because it requires buy-in from all stakeholders, along with approval through the legislative process. "Appropriations is a touchy subject on the Hill," Hodgkins said. It is "a closely guarded realm of the Congress."
Still, the industry advocates said they think flexible budget models are feasible if OMB, federal agencies and Congress work collaboratively. They also said stakeholders must also articulate the value of such models to Congress.
The government's effort to better engage and utilize the private sector was also met with positive industry response. As part of the plan, the government will create an interactive platform for pre-RFP agency-industry collaboration and launch a "myth-busting" education campaign to eliminate artificial barriers to private-sector engagement.
Hodgkins said the government's outreach will allow industry to be more aggressive in making suggestions on how to solve problems. It will also encourage new conversations with industry about which technology the government should buy or what integration it should pursue, he said. Hodgkins added the report's emphasis on program management, including the creation of a program management career path, is critical.
John Palguta, vice president for policy at the Partnership for Public Service, also gave kudos to Kundra and the administration for stressing the importance of a specialized IT workforce and the creation of a technology fellows program.
Kundra said at the Thursday event that the plan was drafted with input from the federal IT, acquisition, and program management communities, as well as industry experts and academics. Hodgkins noted that the government's plan closely mirrors proposals made in a report released earlier this year by TechAmerica Foundation's Commission on Government Technology Opportunity in the 21st Century.

... with a host family and I will be able to take marine science courses while I am away as well as a cuisine class. I never knew how much planning it would take to prepare to live in another country for half a year and I have yet to pack my suitcase (which I am not sure how I will be able to fit everything I need into a suitcase for 5 months). Now I am being hit with the excitement and the fact that this is actually happening. Costa Rica here I come!
An Exciting Beginning
... me to DC on time for my international flight. I called US airlines praying for a miracle and received it in the form of the most helpful customer service agent I could have hoped for. He rebooked all my messed up flights with no additional charges by flying me out tonight instead of tomorrow and planning a connection to get me to Washington DC by 11:30pm tonight, which gave me plenty of time before my international flight at 10:30am tomorrow. ...

We went to breakfast with Zach (I got to ride shotgun in Roxy, and got to witness Southern friendliness firsthand), where we all over-ordered and basically died from our food consumption. Visited Whole Foods. Took a trip down the halls of PDS (far too nice), and then hung out at his house. We went to a Charlotte Knights game with his mom (his dad wasn't feeling well), which was super fun. Then we got dinner at a place with great biscuits, and just hung out some ...
Quiet day
... not far from our apartment and it's open for everyone who lives in these apartments. So we had a quiet day at the pool and a chilled evening without stress. Today we also got our car, but unfortunately the key is at school, so we have to get it tomorrow in the morning to use the car.

Jim Boesel's GILDED TROUT are unlike any fish sculptures you've ever seen. Their bright gilded surface catches the light... and your eye, just like a live trout in nature darting through a stream.
These are not the airbrushed fiberglass fish or taxidermist-mounted skins usually associated with realistic fish replicas. Each GILDED TROUT is carved and painted by hand and the brass fins are individually tooled and pinned in place.
You don't have to be a fisherman to appreciate these works of art and they won't be relegated to the man-cave or den, they will bring a flash of gold and a splash of color to any setting.
PROFILES are one-sided fish with a flat back that can be wall mounted or mounted on a pedestal stand (approx. 15in. long).
FULL SCULPTURAL FISH represent the extreme size and beauty of record-breaking trout (size varies).
JIM ALSO ACCEPTS COMMISSIONS for replicating catch-and-release trout from photographs. All fish are signed and numbered. Each is unique and carved and painted exclusively by Jim.

The Power of Two will feature a new playable character, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, in addition to Mickey Mouse. The duo will find themselves in the Wasteland, an alternative world populated by 80 years' worth of forgotten characters and theme park attractions. Mickey will again wield his magical brush while Oswald will have access to a remote control that can harness electricity.
Disney Epic Mickey Collector's Edition detailed
"Disney Epic Mickey is getting the Collector's Edition treatment when it hits retail this fall. Available today for pre-order, the CE will go for $69.99 and ship alongside the $49.99 standard version."

Welcome to MiniFlex
"The New Re-Designed Model 3!"
The new re-designed Model 3
represents Ken Donnell's 25 year quest to create the perfect
quick mount microphone system for both nylon and steel string guitars.
The new Model 3 is easy to install,
easy to use, and
can produce either a line level, or a mic
level signal.
The new Model 3 will work with almost any type of amplification gear currently available, from small amplifiers to recording studios & concert hall P.A. systems, and is compatible with most guitar effects devices. There are no modifications to any guitar required for installation.
Here is a list of changes that we have made to the new re-designed Model 3:
1. The Model 3 now uses our "studio series" of mic elements (currently used with the Model 7 end pin mount). These elements are the most quiet we have available, and have a full range frequency response of 50 - 16K hz
2. The Model 3 now includes 2 separate power supplies:
• The EPS-2 creates a balanced mic level signal (500 ohms) using 9-48v phantom power
• The EPS-1 creates a 2 conductor line level signal (4.5K ohms) using 12v battery power. This power supply is pre-EQ'd to help control low to mid range bass frequencies.
3. Improvements for the mounting & cables so that the new Model 3 installs more easily, is more durable, and uses most standard cables.
Between now & March 31, 2015, we will sell the new
Model 3 at the old price of $325.00.
New Support Document: "How to Choose the Right 2Mic Model"
Most "common knowledge" within the music industry
for amplifying acoustic guitars applies to pickups, which have been used
to amplify guitars for over 70 years. Using on-board - or close mic
installation of microphones is only about 30 years old, so knowledge
within the music industry is still catching up to advance of microphone
technology represented by the 2Mic design. When "pickup logic" is used
to process a 2Mic signal, sometimes the end result can be disappointing.
But when "microphone logic" is applied, the 2Mic will perform
This document will provide some basic information about how microphones and pickups operate. More important there is specific information about the 2Mic, so that you can apply "2Mic logic" to how you use your MiniFlex and get fantastic results in every application.
