Police connect with theater, high school
By: Sena Christian, The Press Tribune
Officers interact with local groups as part of community-oriented policing approach
Roseville Police officer Jeremy Screeton doesn't have a problem needling clients at Dream Theatre and making them laugh. He's grown comfortable with the clients since he started dropping by the local performing arts center in April. And they've grown comfortable with him. "Where's Toto?" Screeton asks Starr Herring, pointing down to the shiny shoes she wears. "You're going to have to change your red shoes. I keep thinking you're in 'The Wizard of Oz." Herring is actually performing a scene from "Grease." But she plays along by clicking the heels of her feet together, like Dorothy does in the classic movie. Officer Jeremy, as Dream Theatre clients call him, is an example of community-oriented policing, an approach favored by new Police Chief Daniel Hahn. "We get more invested in the community instead of running around and writing tickets," Screeton says. The 10-year veteran with the Roseville Police Department swings by Dream Theatre "as often as I can," which usually ends up being once a day or every couple days. Upon his arrival, several clients walk up to shake his hand and hug him. "He's pretty good," says client Liz Johnson. "He helps out." Screeton's help extends beyond prepping for upcoming shows or serving as a practice audience for the performers. The theater company serves adults with developmental disabilities, and the officer's presence has positively impacted many of these clients, some who previously experienced negative interactions with cops and possess a fear of uniforms, says co-owner Michelle Wheeler. But now, with Officer Jeremy around, the clients know that police are here to help, Wheeler says. Screeton has been thinking about how to use Dream Theatre as a setting for advanced officer training, to teach fellow cops how to interact with people with special needs. Over at Adelante High School, officer Eduardo Barranco is partnering with school administrators to provide drug and gang education and outreach to Spanish-speaking parents, as another example of community-oriented policing. Through the program, a few police officers, high school staff and the school's bilingual academic tutor come together to host information nights, completely in Spanish. The first event took place in December, and four more — at Oakmont High School, Roseville Adult School, Independence High School and Adelante High School — followed. "These are some of the most caring, supportive, pro-education families," says Adelante's Assistant Principal Bridgette Dean. "But there's a language barrier." Dean, a social worker, says the goal of the program is to connect these parents with the school and police department, which will encourage parents to become more engaged with these systems and feel less disenfranchised. "I'm a strong believer in connecting the resources of a community," Dean says. Prior to launching the program, the school questioned parents and asked what topics they wanted addressed in an information night. A top concern was drugs and gangs. During the presentations, the police officers show examples of drug and gang paraphernalia, and how to spot warning signs. After the PowerPoint, parents have a chance to ask questions about these topics, or about school issues or any other concerns. "Officer Barranco deserves extra kudos because he will stay an hour or more after the presentation to speak with parents completely in their home language," Dean says. Next year, they hope to expand the program to include Woodcreek High School and Granite Bay High School, and introduce an information night for Russian speaking parents. "You can't close achievement gaps and solidify communities if you're not engaging every part of that community," Dean says. "I want safer, stronger communities, and you need to incorporate all the stakeholders — the police, school district, parents." Sena Christian can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Friday June 14, 2013
SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Miami Heat star Chris Bosh has been fined $5,000 for flopping during Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
The NBA announced the fine on Friday. The play happened midway through the second quarter with the Heat leading 41-32.
Bosh was trailing Spurs forward Tim Duncan as the two headed back down the court when Duncan established post position in the paint. As Spurs guard Gary Neal approached with the dribble, Duncan posted up a late-arriving Bosh to try to seal him away from the play. Bosh flailed his arms and fell to the ground.
Duncan was whistled for a foul on the play, which wiped away a layup for Neal.
Bosh had 20 points and 13 rebounds in the win that evened the series at two games apiece.

Can you hear them?
They talk about us
Telling lies, well that's no surprise
One of the major things that happened - the Baby's ear fell off. You think I'm joking. But it was all Van Gogh up in this mutha.
No one can figure out how it happened, just 'excema gone wrong' which sounds like the worst made for tv-movie ever. His ear was so dry it actually cracked and PEELED OFF OF HIS SKULL, almost flopping off of his head. Go ahead and puke, I almost did.
I had to TAPE the ear to his head until we made it to the doctor. Even the doctor looked a little sick to her stomach!! That kid, he feels no pain. He never complained and I suspect we went a full week not even knowing there was a problem, which is how it got so bad.
Now he is doing fine thank goodnes. Through it all, he never stopped being entertaining. Just listen to him explain this chart to me at the doc's office. I'd turn the sound up if I were you, you might learn something.
Labels: sick again, the Baby

Watching the slow-motion march to war against Iran is a bit like watching a terminal cancer patient in a hospice. We know how it's going to end. We know it's going to be tragic and ugly. But we are powerless to stop it.
There is a difference of course.
For the cancer patient, there really is no alternative.
For us, there is an alternative to the catastrophe which President Bush and his regent, Dick Cheney, are preparing for us all.
We could rise up as a nation and demand that our elected representatives pass a Boland-type amendment banning any use of the military in Iraq. We could demand that a resolution be passed revoking the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force against Iraq. We could demand the revocation of the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force which the president has improperly cited as giving him extra-Constitutional powers. And we could demand that Congress tell the president and vice president that if they attack Iran without explicit congressional authorization they will both be immediately impeached.
The votes could be there for such an action, as even some Republicans are clearly opposed to this insanity, but the courage to call the president's hand and lay down the cards is not.
And so the horrible march to disaster continues.
The cynicism of this administration is beyond belief. We have the supposedly "straight talking" defense secretary Robert Gates telling Congress that there is no plan "at the moment" to attack Iran--even as he sends two aircraft carrier battle groups into the Persian Gulf and stockpiles Patriot anti-missile batteries in the region (of what use are carriers and anti-missile rockets in a counter-insurgency in Iraq?). We have the president authorizing a blatantly illegal and clearly provocative attack on an Iranian consulate in Irbil, Iraq, and violating international law by arresting six people in that raid.
Let's be clear. An attack on Iran, which poses no immediate or imminent threat to the United States, would be the most heinous of international war crimes--a "crime against peace" violating the UN Charter and the Nuremburg Charter. It would also be a strategic disaster that would dwarf even the president's collassal strategic blunder in invading Iraq.
There are no more troops left to fight in Iran, so all the U.S. could hope to do would be to bomb that country. But bombing that country would do nothing to stop Iran from retaliating in myriad ways that could bring the U.S. to its knees.
Take sappers. Iraq, which has a sophisticated and well-equipped espionage apparatus, could set out on a campaign of sabatoge, blowing up U.S. chemical plants, petrochemical refining and storage facilities, and power plants. Since these are all known to be on the target list of U.S. bombers in Iran, Iran would be well within its rights retaliating in kind inside U.S. borders. If the U.S. were to follow its usual criminal practice of also attacking Iraqi hospitals and other civilian targets, Iraqis could and likely would follow suit. I wouldn't be surprised, given how long the administration has been talking about attacking Iran, if its military strategists hadn't already smuggled bombs into place in shipping containers, ready to blow if we attack.
Feeling safer?
Iran has other options too, to hurt us. The Shia militias in Iraq, which have largely ignored U.S. forces unless harassed, are tight with the Iranians, having received shelter and support from Iran during Hussein's brutal rule, and sharing, as they do, a common religion. If Iran comes under attack, it is hard to believe that the Iraqi militias will now turn their substantial firepower on outnumbered US forces in Iraq.
When you think of it, attacking Iran would be a wonderful way of doing what the U.S. claims it has been wanting to do for several years now: uniting the Sunni and Shia forces in Iraq and ending their fratricidal conflict. The only problem is that they will be joining hands the better to attack U.S. troops! How clever this administration is!
And then there's the economic costs of an Iran War. Here Iran really has to do nothing, though it could make things all the worse by using one of its high-tech anti-ship missiles to sink an American naval vessel or even just a civilian tanker in the gulf. Even without such an action, an invasion of Iran would lead to a shutdown of oil coming from the Persian Gulf. That's one quarter of all the oil supplies in the world. Even if Iran never fires a missile, the insurance industry will make it financially impossible for any ship-owner to sail into the gulf.
So forget $80/barrel oil. Crude oil would quickly soar past $100 a barrel, past $160 a barrel, probably. Some analysts have even talked of $200 a barrel. No matter—after $100 a barrel, the world economy would grind to a halt. And the American trade deficit would go through the roof. We're not talking slowdown here,; we're talking global depression.
All this is clear,.
But it is also clear that the Congress doesn't have the guts and principle to halt this march to madness.
And so we just continue to watch the patient die.

Excellent. Nice. Superb.
I hope we invade Iran. Let us be gutsy about this.
It might take this much to distill into our conciousness of who we really are; which might make us change into a more humane form of the ogre that we really are, were and otherwise will be into the Last Day.

To a guest: : Quote: Excellent, nice, suburb.
It's always sad to hear things like this. Christianity has allowed the views of those who clearly relish the concept of, "Kill everyone in the whole wide world!" To somehow enter into their faith.
These are the elements that, if ever proved wrong, would seek universal genocide as their last act. This, in my opinion isn't reasonable or sane.
Just as "terrorists" defile Islam by their actions so America/UK leaders, "Wearing their Christian convictions from both sleeves", enforce aggression in a way that is diametrically opposed to the philosophy of Jesus Christ according to scripture.
Religious conviction is a belief. If we suppose that we have freedom of speech then it follows that we have freedom of thought. This means that our beliefs are voluntary decided by ourselves either collectively or individually.
To subscribe to a view that includes the destruction of the (Majority) of others who don't hold this conviction might be a comfortable armchair of irresponsibility but we need to get real about the problems that the whole human population faces.
Communications have quantumly increased due to advances in technology. Suddenly, all the cultures are communicating with each other. We need to evolve personally to prevent clashes.
Religious tolerance is the only happy ending. We need to recognize that others hold differing beliefs and that our right to cherish our view is based on the freedom of other cultures to do the same.
a guest said:
Congress has the message.
Last November the voters clearly spelled out their intent by rejecting the
Republican party in both Houses of Congress. The message is clear we have authorized Congress to end the insanity of the Administration in the Middle East and bring the troops home now . . . if Congress fails to carry out the mandate from the electorate . . . our only hope is the military will stand down and refuse to carry out any orders to attack one more country that poses no serious threat to this nation.

Retail interest in Oklahoma City is growing, Oklahoma City officials say
Retailers — from restaurant operators to mall developers — have been very interested in Oklahoma City during this year's International Council of Shopping Centers convention in Las Vegas, which ended Tuesday, city officials said. About 30,000 people attend the convention each year, with retailers scouting new franchisees and locations and cities hoping to attract new businesses. This year, Oklahoma City was getting a lot of attention. "You can tell there has been a real shift in the perception of Oklahoma City's market," said Cynthia Reid, vice president of marketing for the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber. The Oklahoma City Thunder basketball team's playoff appearance and a recent announcement that Whole Foods is coming to town have given Oklahoma City representatives a lot to brag about. Reid said they have had promising meetings with retailers such as a ladies fashion and home decor store, a gourmet sandwich and bakery chain, a national discount department store, fast casual dining operators, several mall and shopping center developers and a specialty grocery store. The meetings were confidential, so Reid declined to name the retailers. But, she added, the chance of securing at least one new lease deal is high.

Sources have confirmed to Newsradio 1240 and 107.5 FM WTAX that John Mehlick has resigned due to a conflict of interest.
A news release from the city sent Wednesday afternoon said only that Mehlick will step down effective December 14th, but no other explanation was provided.
Sources tell WTAX Mehlick presided over one of Calvin Christian III's traffic cases in 2008, case 2008-TR-046007. The source says the street crimes unit issued the ticket, which is what got Christian interested in the activities surrounding the city's street crimes unit to begin with. That started the Freedom of Information Act requests which, eventually, led to Christian's request of internal affairs files from the Springfield Police Department.
Mehlick dismissed the ticket.
The city council is currently discussing a $100,000 settlement with Christian over the police document shredding incident, a settlement which would officially absolve the city of any wrongdoing.
Nathan Mihelich, Springfield's director of communications, told WTAX's Ray Lytle that he doubted the 2008 traffic case has anything to do with why Mehlick resigned. Mihelich spoke highly of Mehlick's tenure as acting counsel, telling Lytle he "couldn't even begin" to talk about how wonderful Mehlick has been.
He was appointed several months ago after the resignation of Mark Cullen after his involvement in the police document shredding incident was uncovered.

Narrow your search
Scout offers a better feature set, including excellent help for daily commuters, than either Google Maps or Apple Maps, with similarly good route guidance.
Scout offers enough features and good performance to make it a more than worthwhile competitor to the truly free apps available, and the in-app purchase price is very reasonable.
The TeleNav Shotgun's Internet connectivity brings dynamic content to the driver, but the functionality is a bit limited at this time, and the GPS needs to work out some performance issues before we give it co-pilot duties.

If work or pleasure requires you to travel a lot, TeleNav GPS Navigator is a handy and accurate navigation service that delivers maps and directions to your mobile device.
Telenav gives us an early peek at future updates to its mobile navigation app for Android and iPhone.
With Scout's HTML5 navigation function, you can get turn-by-turn directions on any smartphone -- no app installation necessary.
TeleNav's new Scout service helps users discover and navigate to destinations whether on foot, at home, or in the car.
The new Android version of Telenav's Scout navigation app launches with AppLink compatibility in select Ford vehicles.
TeleNav combines the functionality of navigation apps with the ubiquity of browser-based maps.
At the Telematics Munich 2011 show, TeleNav showed off a new version of its navigation SDK, providing better integration between phone and car.

Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief: London Photo Call Gallery
Trouble-prone teen Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out school – but that's the least of his problems.

Zeus' lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Now, Percy and his friends must embark on a cross-country adventure to catch the true thief, save Percy's family, and unravel a mystery more powerful than the gods themselves.

Ok....here is the rule. It's not about not liking your first name, but would your name be YOUR choice if you had named yourself?
Now is your chance to speak up.
Tell us your current first name, and what you would change it too if you (as you are right now) would have named yourself. Oh...and tell us why if there is a specific reason.
Current First Name: Chris
If I named myself: George
Reason: Not sure why....just always seemed like a good name to me when I was a kid. I liked the way it sounded.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (www.incnow.tv) -- It was one month ago that a small jet crashed into three homes in South Bend, Indiana.
The accident killed two crew members and left three others injured. Now officials have released audio recordings of the conversations that took place between the airport tower and the plane's crew in the moments leading up to the crash.
Pilot: We lost all power and we have no hydraulics…
Tower: We'll have equipment standing by…is your craft controllable?
Pilot: Barely controllable.
NTSB officials are still investigating the crash but in a preliminary report released this month, they stated the plane crashed after experiencing technical issues.

SarahJohnson '15
Sarah Johnson began her academic career at Elmira College. Feeling confused about her future there, she began to research other programs at colleges closer to her home. She knew she always wanted to help people. After speaking with visiting associate professor Debra Faria, she found a great fit in the social work program at The College at Brockport. After meeting with Dr. Faria, she knew social work was the perfect blend of sociology, psychology and human services. "Debra really showed me the path to follow."
As a transfer student, Sarah had a lot of questions. Erin Rickman, Transfer Year Experience Coordinator for the College, made her transition seamless. "Any and every question I had about transferring, she answered. Erin helped me get my first work-study job in undergraduate admissions and from there I became a tour guide. Now I get to help transfers as the student director of transfer admissions." All those that Sarah came into contact with were overwhelmingly supportive. Her goal is to create even more resources for incoming transfer students.
Sarah defines herself as an equalist and takes a special interest in women's rights. Last semester, she worked diligently on the "Take Back the Night" which is an event aimed at domestic violence awareness. She helped make flyers, posters, wrote speeches, researched statistics, made playlists and collaborated weekly to make the event possible. The rally had over 200 participants come out to show their support. The campus community reached out to "shatter the silence!"
Embracing her program of study and finding the support she needed as a transfer student, Sarah's time here at Brockport has been a huge success. She transferred in not knowing anyone and has made many close friends. She has grown academically as well as professionally. "My Brockport journey has been a whirl wind experience!"

To know how and when to use Liquid Nails construction adhesives, use this handy reference chart, comparing adhesives and tools. Most construction adhesives are available in tube form. Some of the larger floor and wall-area compounds are mastics (pastes) and are available in cans.
How and when to use Liquid Nails
Liquid Nails construction adhesives come in many formulations for many different uses, including roofing adhesives, flooring adhesives, tile adhesives, countertop adhesives and epoxy.
|Adhesive Type
|How it Performs
|Roofing adhesive
|Asphalt or tar performs best in moderate temperatures. These solvent-based formulations are waterproof and adhere well to most substrates. Rubber is added to the formulation to ensure the adhesive has elasticity to further reinforce its water resistance in extreme temperatures.
|Adheres roofing tile to roofing substrate. (Secure tiles with nails or screws as well.) Serves as an additional layer of waterproofing to the roofing membrane. Also used to cement vent stacks, valley and chimney flashing, eaves and gutters.
|Floor joist adhesive
|These structural adhesives must conform to structural specifications including water- and flex-resistance, as well as application in extreme temperatures and humidity.
|Adheres plywood, OSB or flake board to floor joists to form a structural bond. Nails or screws are also required.
|Plumbing caulk
|All of these compounds resist water and are very flexible. When cured, they allow stretch of joints up to three times the normal width or compression to one-half the width.
|Seals drain flange into base or around faucet escutcheons of plumbing fixtures. Provides water-resistance to the joints.
Countertop (laminate)adhesive
|Easy-to-use adhesives provide quick bonding of substrate to laminate or wood-based countertops. When using contact cements, take care to ensure proper placement of the laminate to the countertop..
|Adheres laminate-type countertops to wood substrates.
|Countertop (solid surface, granite, marble, etc.) adhesive
|Adhesives prevent movement between joints. Will not shrink and form a tight bond to materials that contain small amounts of moisture
|Adheres granite, marble or other hard surface to base cabinets. Do not use rubber/solvent-based or latex-based adhesives for this application; both can stain countertop.
|Backsplash adhesive
|These easy-to-use adhesives provide quick bonding of substrate to laminate. Allows for correcting misapplied laminate.
|Adheres backsplash material to walls (i.e., laminate-type material adhered to wood-substrate, generally in kitchen or bathroom applications).
|Wall tile adhesive
|These adhesives are formulated with a small amount of solvent or a combination of solvent and water to hold tile in place (higher "grab").
|Adheres ceramic, tile or vinyl or fiberglass panels to a wall. For wall tile (vertical) applications, a hot melt gun is sometimes used for temporary adhesion while the mortar dries.
|Ceramic floor tile adhesive
|Using a trowel, spread mortars and adhesives evenly over the entire floor surface. Then press tiles into the mortar.
|Used for floor tile, but not able to hold tile into place for vertical applications.
|Soft flooring adhesive
|Most of these nonsolvent systems can cure in any condition or temperature. For proper adherence, let surface dry until tacky but not wet to the touch. Refer to manufacturer's
curing and drying instructions.
|Adheres carpet, vinyl and any non-floating wood floor to a subfloor.
|Trim adhesive
|Most times, using these nonstructural adhesives in this application eliminates the need for mechanical fasteners.
|Adheres trim and molding in interior applications. NOTE: Do not use solvent-based adhesives on vinyl moldings, as they can distort vinyl as it dries.
Safety note: Always wear protective clothing and safety glasses when working with a Liquid Nails construction adhesive.
*Note: Refer to the material data safety sheet for the appropriate equipment to use.

Research Areas of Interest:
- Epitaxial thin films.
- Photocatalysis, including Z schemes and new non oxide materials.
- Photoelectron spectroscopy.
- Layer by layer growth of artificial structures.
- New transparent conducting materials.
The group's research uses epitaxial films to study functional materials. One important application of this is the study of photocatalysts – materials that use light to stimulate chemical reactions. Our research aims to produce structurally simple samples, from which strong conclusions can be drawn on structure-function relationships. Areas of interest include solid state Z schemes, new non-oxide photocatalysts and understanding the behaviour of dopants in TiO2.

city riding? I am in the market for some wheels for my second ss and cannot decide on tubulars vs. clinchers. My current ss has clinchers on it and it rides silky smooth (for the most part anyway). I am just wondering if there are any pros/cons that I need to consider especially considering that all the riding that I do is in the city? Or does that not matter?
Thank you in advance for any feedback.

Should I adopt independently?
We are considering internatinal adoption. We are not sure if it's better to work with agency or work directly with attorney. We can speak the language of the country that we like to adopt a child. We are sure if working with attorney independently will speed up the process. Does anyone have similar situation like this?

Melanie Laurent opted for a simple look whilst attending the Burberry Celebrates Paris Boutique Opening in Paris yesterday evening.
The French actress wore a mid-length classic Burberry trench with black leather studded gloves, an olive purse and snakeskin peep-toes.
Everything about this look seems too oversized.
The trench makes the petite actress look boxy and shapeless, whilst the oversized purse, carried as a clutch, adds to the illusion.
Her snakeskin shoes are a fun addition to the look, however.
A messy updo completes the look.

What turned out to be genius marketing, the edgy and somewhat controversial "Ship My Pants" commercial from Kmart has went viral and has the whole pop culture-driven nation buzzing about its hilarity with play on words. For lack of a better (or less funny) expression, some people are making a big stink about the "Ship My Pants" advertisement, calling it sophomoric, crude, or low-brow. It does however fit right into the Kmart demographic and the store is looking to reap the benefits from the successful viral "Ship My Pants" campaign. The "Ship My Pants" ad goes through several screen shots of Kmart customers exclaiming that they shipped their pants, shipped their drawers, and even shipped their bed.
Kmart has been on a downward spiral for the past decade or so, leaving most Kmart stores resembling a mix between a somehow trashier version of Wal-Mart and a flea market with empty racks and generic brand messaging. The "Ship My Pants" commercial might be just what the doctor ordered for Kmart, identifying to a younger crowd of bargain shoppers.

Conditions InDepth: Type 1 Diabetes
Main Page | Risk Factors | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Screening | Complications | Reducing Your Risk | Talking to Your Doctor | Living With Type 1 Diabetes | Resource GuideEn Español (Spanish Version)
Type 1 diabetes is a disorder caused by the body's inability to produce sufficient insulin to meet bodily needs. Insulin is a hormone normally produced by the pancreas. The body needs this hormone to convert food into energy. Without insulin, glucose (sugar) from the food you eat cannot enter cells. This causes glucose to build up in the blood, leaving your body cells and tissues starved for energy. While a variety of tissue transplantation techniques are under development and some genetically-based treatments have been proposed, at this point in time, the only widely-available treatment for type 1 diabetes is the injection of insulin.
The Pancreas
© 2008 Nucleus Medical Art, Inc.
The American Diabetes Association estimates that 500,000 to 1 million people in the US have type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes usually begins in childhood and young adulthood between 8-12 years of age. It was previously called juvenile diabetes, but the name was changed to type 1 diabetes since adults, as well as children, can develop this disease.
In the United States, type 1 diabetes is one of the most frequently diagnosed chronic diseases of children. According to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International, each year approximately 30,000 Americans are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over 13,000 of whom are children—35 children every day.
There are two forms of type 1 diabetes:
Immune-mediated Diabetes—This type of diabetes is caused by the attack and destruction of insulin-producing cells (beta cells) in the pancreas by the body's immune system. In people who may be genetically predisposed to this disease, exposure to factors in the environment may trigger the immune system response. The trigger may be a virus, a food, a chemical, or a drug. Immune-mediated diabetes is the most common form of type 1 diabetes
Idiopathic Type 1 Diabetes—this is a rare form of the disease. It may be inherited, but the precise cause remains unknown.
The key to controlling diabetes is maintaining your blood sugar level (fasting and after meals) within a healthful range. This is done with a combination of insulin therapy, diet, and exercise. When your blood sugar levels are not within the ideal range, diabetes can cause the following problems:
In the short-term:
- High blood sugar (hyperglycemia)
- Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which can be a side effect of insulin therapy
In the long-term:
- Blindness
- Kidney disease
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Nerve disease, which can lead to amputations
- Impotence
- Vascular disease of the lower extremities
- Early death

In a 2-8 season for Virginia Football, the focus has already shifted to next year for many cavalier fans, and yesterday the spotlight was on one area that has people excited. Virginia is now one of two FBS programs that has 2 top ten players committed for the class of 2014 ( the other is Alabama). Quin Blanding and Andrew Brown are expected to make an immediate impact for Virginia next year. Brown, will enroll in January, and has already completed his paper work for admission and financial aid.
Brown, is the number 4 player in the class according to most recruiting services and the number one defensive tackle. Mike London talked about the caliber of player and person Brown is yesterday. " You don't want to annoint a high school guy as being 'the guy' I mean he still has to go against college age offensive lineman that will be fourth and fifth year guys. But you do look at a skill level and a skill set that this young man possesses that you can see why he is as good as advertised." London also went on to describe Brown as a person. " More than anything else, he's a great young man, and that's always number one in my book." London and the Cavaliers travel to Miami for a noon game Saturday. Coverage on WINA with Cavalier Countdown begins at 9:30am. Discussion of the Hoos is always available on the Best Seat in the House, weeknights at 6, on 1070 WINA, and ESPN 1450.

Jan 16, 2014
While many Americans made New Year's resolutions to lose weight or get in better shape, the Federal Trade Commission resolved to eliminate deceptive weight-loss marketing claims.
At the agency's first press conference of 2014, Jessica Rich, director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection, announced four settlements targeting deceptive weight-loss ads as part of "Operation Failed Resolution."
First, and most significantly, Sensa agreed to pay $26.5 million – the second-largest amount ever recovered in a deceptive advertising settlement by the agency – for claims that its product was clinically proven to result in a weight loss of 30 pounds in six months without diet or exercise. Sensa – a product that consumers were instructed to sprinkle on their food to help them feel full and stop eating sooner – cost consumers about $60 per month.
According to the agency's complaint, the claims were false and the studies touted in Sensa's ads were fatally flawed. The agency also alleged that some of the consumers featured in endorsements were compensated with money and free trips.
In addition to the record Sensa settlement, the defendants – the corporate entities, CEO Adam Goldenberg, and product creator and part owner Dr. Alan Hirsch – are prohibited from making any claims about weight-loss products without two adequate and well-controlled human clinical studies.
The second suit involved New York-based L'Occitane. Skin creams like Almond Shaping Delight promised to trim inches off of users' thighs and "visibly refine and sculpt the silhouette." Again, the agency said the studies relied upon by the defendant were flawed – neither placebo-controlled nor blinded – and the results were exaggerated. In a proposed consent decree, L'Occitane agreed to provide $450,000 for consumer redress.
HCG Diet Direct offered a homeopathic liquid drop that included a hormone produced by the human placenta that would allegedly cause a loss of 7 pounds in 7 days or 40 pounds in 40 days. Rich said some of the consumer endorsers for the product were paid while others were related to the company's owner. The FTC additionally challenged HCG's claim that the product was "safe," because the defendant urged users to restrict themselves to a 500-calorie-per-day diet, an inherently unsafe practice. While the $3.2 million judgment was suspended based on an inability to pay, the company was enjoined from disseminating future misleading claims by the settlement agreement.
Finally, Rich announced an update in prior litigation brought in conjunction with the Connecticut Attorney General against a dietary supplement maker. That company claimed that various products could produce a 25-pound weight loss in four weeks without diet or exercise. While litigation continues against several defendants, the company and its principals reached a deal with the agency and the state that prohibits false claims of rapid and substantial weight loss and requires the surrender of more than $7 million in assets.
In addition to the enforcement actions, the agency revealed a new Web site for consumers as well as Gut Check, a new tutorial for media. Ads for the products challenged in the enforcement actions "ran in trusted, nationally known publications," Rich stated at the press conference, adding that consumers are more likely to believe claims they read in their favorite magazines or see on their favorite television stations.
In 75 letters sent to publishers, media groups, and trade associations, the FTC urged media to be a "front-line defense" to the airing of deceptive weight-loss claims. The letters and tutorial are not meant to be a shot across the bow for media, Rich noted, but "a request for teamwork" to eliminate bogus ads.
To read the complaints against the various defendants as well as the proposed settlements and consent orders, click here.
Why it matters: Operation Failed Resolution is the latest effort by the FTC to stamp out deceptive weight-loss claims. Rich said the agency has filed dozens of cases against fraudulent body-slimming claims spanning decades and will "periodically bring new cases and new sweeps both to deter conduct by companies in this area and also remind consumers about the fact that many of the claims in this area are not accurate and they should be very wary of them."

After a yearlong investigation into the data broker industry, Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) released a report at a recent Senate Commerce Committee hearing at which he claimed to be "revolted" by some of the industry's practices.
The 36-page report titled "A Review of the Data Broker Industry: Collection, Use, and Sale of Consumer Data for Marketing Purposes" made four conclusions: (1) that data brokers "collect a huge volume of detailed information on hundreds of millions of consumers," (2) identify and classify "financially vulnerable" consumers, (3) offer products that combine both online and offline data, and (4) "operate[s] behind a veil of secrecy."
At the Commerce Committee hearing to discuss the report, Sen. Rockefeller had harsh words for the industry, particularly the classification of consumers. He took particular issue with the creation of categories like "Ethnic Second-City Strugglers" and "Tough Start: Young Single Parents."
The sales of such categorical lists of consumers "seem tailor made to businesses that seek to take advantage of consumers," Sen. Rockefeller added.
He also criticized three of the nine companies from which he sought information for the report for their failure to reveal more information about their data sources. Sen. Rockefeller cautioned that he was "putting these three companies on notice today that I am not satisfied with their responses and am considering further steps I can take to get this information."
Sen. Rockefeller also signaled his intent to continue to focus on the industry: "I'm here to say this is a very serious situation. . . . We've got to continue on this thing."

Why it matters: The report does not call for legislation, but speculation abounds that the senator will introduce a bill before his impending retirement, which will occur at the end of his current term. Coupled with a recent report from the Government Accountability Office recommending that federal legislation be passed to create baseline privacy rules for data collection, sale, and use, Sen. Rockefeller's focus on the industry could lead to changes for data brokers – a move still being fought by the Direct Marketing Association. In a statement in response to Sen. Rockefeller's report, DMA president Linda Woolley cited a recent study that found the data-driven marketing economy generated $156 million in revenue in 2012 and created more than 675,000 jobs. "It is disappointing that after a year and a half of cooperation from industry, a report from the Senate Committee charged with advancing U.S. commerce fails to recognize the tremendous value provided to consumers and the U.S. economy by the data-driven marketing industry," she said.
As 2013 came to a close, the Federal Trade Commission evaluated its own work over the prior months in a report to Congress and published the latest statistics on the Do Not Call Registry.
The agency's annual Performance and Accountability report highlighted the FTC's consumer protection efforts in the realm of privacy and data security, with Chairwoman Edith Ramirez referencing two notable cases. The agency brought its first action against a mobile device manufacturer, HTC America, as well as its first mobile cramming suit against Wise Media. Both companies agreed to settlements, in which HTC promised to develop and release software patches to fix the vulnerabilities found in its devices and in which Wise Media faced a permanent ban on cramming.
Fraudulent financial services was another area of focus for FY 2013. The agency targeted a defendant that offered members of the military and veterans deceptive home loan refinancing in violation of the Telemarketing Sales Rule. The FTC also charged a debt collection operation with harassing consumers, which resulted in the imposition of a $3.2 million penalty.
Looking forward, the report listed several strategic goals for the agency, including promoting "stronger privacy protections," efforts to halt the use of new media to deceive consumers, targeting deceptive advertising relating to consumers' health, evaluating environmental marketing claims, and protecting children in the marketplace pursuant to the recently revised Children's Online Privacy Protection Act Rule.
With the Do Not Call Registry celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2013, the FTC published its biennial report to Congress as the number of registrants hit a new record high. As of September 2013, 223 million active numbers were on the list, an increase of more than 5.8 million registered numbers from the prior year.
The agency also highlighted its entrance into the mobile ecosystem that now allows consumers to register, verify, or submit complaints via mobile devices. Since the mobile launch, 27 percent of all registrations came from mobile devices, the report stated.
The downside of technological advances was also noted by the report. Voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) and caller ID spoofing have resulted in the rise of illegal robocalls, with a peak of around 200,000 consumer complaints filed per month. The agency's efforts to combat the increase included a robocall summit and a public contest to develop technological solutions to the illegal calls.

Why it matters: The FTC's annual report presented no surprises but reemphasized the areas of importance on which the agency will be focused in the coming year, notably consumer privacy and data security, as well as enforcement of the updated COPPA Rule.
Sherlock Holmes himself might have declared "Elementary!" but U.S. District Court Judge Ruben Castillo stuck to more traditional language when he ruled that only a handful of elements about the detective remain protected by copyright.
Leslie Klinger, the author of numerous books and articles on Sherlock Holmes, sought a declaratory judgment against the estate of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle about the scope of copyright protection for the famous detective as well as other characters and story elements. Klinger faced the possibility that his new anthology of stories based on Holmesian elements would not be published after the estate demanded payment for a license.
Judge Castillo drew an immediate line dividing Doyle's works. Sherlock Holmes first appeared in a story published in 1887, followed by 4 novels and 46 short stories – all of which have by now entered the public domain by date of their publication. However, 10 short stories were published after Jan. 1, 1923, and remain at issue.
The estate argued that since the later stories continued to develop the characters of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson, all of the character elements should remain under copyright protection until the final story enters the public domain in 2022.
The court disagreed. "It is a bedrock principle of copyright that 'once work enters the public domain it cannot be appropriated as private (intellectual) property,' and even the most creative of legal theories cannot trump this tenet," Judge Castillo wrote.
Relying heavily on case law from the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, the court dismantled the characters into a public domain version and a copyrighted version. All of the pre-1923 story elements are therefore free for public use, the court said, while post-1923 story elements remain protected.
The court rejected the estate's contention that "complex, three-dimensional" characters like Holmes and Watson should be subject to greater protected status, noting that the theory, if adopted, would leave courts without a workable legal standard and would "extend impermissibly the copyright of certain character elements of Holmes and Watson beyond their statutory period, contrary to the goals of the Copyright Act."
Klinger's victory was limited, however, as Judge Castillo found that the post-1923 story elements – like the character of Dr. Watson's second wife, Sherlock Holmes' retirement from his detective agency, and Dr. Watson's background as an athlete – remain protected by copyright.
The elements are not events but "increments of expression" that warrant copyright protection, the court stated. Because the post-1923 short stories are based upon material from a preexisting work, they meet the definition of derivative works, with the new elements constituting "original expression" beyond what is contained in the public domain portion of Doyle's work, the court said.
To read the opinion in Klinger v. Conan Doyle Estate, click here.
Why it matters: As explained by the court, the decision establishes a dividing line between pre-1923 publications and those that came after. Elements of Sherlock Holmes and his cohorts introduced prior to 1923 are fair game for public use (good news for the numerous books, TV shows, and movies devoted to the detective), while post-1923 elements remain protected for another eight years.
On January 14, 2014, Bloomberg BNA's Social Media Law & Policy Report published an article coauthored by Manatt attorneys Marc Roth and Stacey Mayer titled "Protecting Brand Reputation in an Increasingly Mobile World." The piece highlights the hot button social media issues for 2014 and discusses the potential public relations implications of high-profile social media campaigns.
The authors focused on the following issues to watch in 2014: (1) user-generated content; (2) consumer online reviews; (3) native advertising; and (4) real-time interactions with consumers. Brands need to closely monitor these trends and the related legal, regulatory and public relations risks of each. The authors note, "As social media platforms continue to develop and brands seek new ways to communicate with consumers, companies need to be aware of how regulators and industry self-regulatory bodies are applying their laws and rules (most of which are outdated and ill-equipped to address current activities) in order to avoid legal liability."

As a new pagemaster you may be inheriting an existing site, or may be confronting the need to create a new site from scratch. Either way, you should resist the temptation to jump right in and put your fingers to keys and mouse. Instead, we urge you to start by thinking and planning, and only later move on to doing.
The exception to that advice would be if you have inherited an existing site that is outdated. In such a case, your first concern is to perform triage, deciding which, if any, outdated items should be removed (at least temporarily), which can be fixed by simple text changes, etc. That triage may well require consultation with others. You will have to learn the minimum basics about the existing site in order to make those changes, or recruit someone who already knows how to help you. Once you have done that, however, you should transition as smoothly as possible into long-term mode, with planning as your next step.
The overall total long-term effort will be less if you invest some time in planning your web pages in advance, tempting though it may be to just jump right in and starting writing. Keep the points discussed in the Web Page and Site Design section in mind throughout your planning.
There are four stages to your planning effort, all of which are paper and pencil tasks:
Storyboard each document: What will appear on the page? How should it be organized?
Separate your project into the individual pages. Since people will have to follow links between the pages, and wait for them to load, this separation is a significant design choice.
Decide on the basic link structure: What will be connected to what? From where?
You don't need to include all the links that will seem appropriate as the project progresses, but you should plan out the links that define the overall organization of the pages. For example, the fundamental structure of this set of pages could be called the "wagon wheel": the table of contents functions as the hub, with the spokes being the links from it to the several pages and from each of them back to the topics list. The "back" and "next" (circumferential) links correspond to the rim of the wheel. The other common overall organization is sometimes called the "cascading star": the home page has a link to each of several intermediate layer navigational pages, and each of those navigational pages in turn has links to the content pages (you may find it helpful to think of this in terms of a Fourth of July fireworks).
Decide how your pages will be organized on the server: Will they all be in one subsite? Will they be grouped into multiple sub-subsites? If multiple sub-subsites will be used, what will they be called and which pages will go in which? Remember that sub-subsites are visible parts of the URLs of the pages.
Planning a Web page depends a great deal on what you are trying to accomplish. Because putting up Web pages for a department or office imposes additional requirements, we will bend the course towards this goal. There is still a diverse set of choices to be made, and anyone developing a Web presence must be aware of these choices. The easiest way to understand what is, and what is not possible on the Web, is by surfing it yourself. Anyone who wants to make information available on the Web should be adept at retrieving it.
Once you are familiar with the Web in general, it is time to outline what types of information you want to make available and how much. These can be difficult decisions. Many departments and offices have a plethora of information just aching to be put on the Web. Many departments have brochures and advertisements that would lend themselves perfectly to the Web. It can be a difficult job sorting through all of the available materials and choosing what should go up, and what should not. Making the decisions as to what should be changed, what can be enhanced, what can be directly copied, etc., can take a long time. This is all in addition to creating the pages themselves, which can also be time consuming. That is why we recommend working in teams of at least two people, if at all possible.
Two teams should be created to maximize the likelihood of making your Web page top-notch. One team should be responsible for the content, and one should be responsible for putting that content on the Web. By dividing the workload this way, the team that is in charge of gathering the content can focus on doing just that, and the other can focus on learning HTML or CommonSpot and writing the actual Web pages. The two teams should collaborate on the design.
The team responsible for creating the Web pages should make it very clear to the other team what is, and is not possible for them to do. Start simple; things can always be enhanced later on. You will see many pages that have "under construction" on them. All Web pages are always under construction (or should be!), so this statement is unnecessary, and should be avoided.
Before you roll out your pages, let other people see them first. A lot of pages go straight from the "drawing board" in one person's mind, to implementation. All without anyone but the creator seeing it first. This is a bad idea. Put your ego on the shelf for a minute, go down the hall and ask someone, "Hey, what do you think of this?" Make sure your teammates get a chance to see the development and offer suggestions while you are creating the page. Nothing is worse than spending twenty hours constructing a page or set of pages, only to have everyone think what you have done is awful. Let people make suggestions while you are creating; it will make the whole process much easier, with the added benefit that your page will be better too. Nice, eh?
Have someone else read the text, too, and always run it through a spelling checker. It is sometimes a good idea to let someone else on the team do the spell check: it raises the odds that grammar mistakes will be corrected, too.
E-mail other people that you know have developed successful web pages. Send them the URL to your page in development and ask for their opinion; it couldn't hurt.
Make sure your boss sees the pages before they go live. If possible, hold meetings to show the pages to everyone in the department. Remember you will be representing them all, and you will be able to do a better job of that if you listen to them early and often.
Everyone just loves criticism. It's easy to do, and hard to accept. As a web page designer and creator, you will have to get very used to criticism from outside sources. People you have never met, who live in faraway places, will have no problem telling you exactly what they don't like about your pages. Sounds like fun, right? You can protect yourself somewhat by being critical of your own work, and letting people close to you do the same. Web pages evolve, they don't just pop up out of nowhere. Part of this evolution will come directly from the sometimes constructive, sometimes harsh, criticism of others.
When people provide criticism of your pages, you will likely find that their comments fall into one of three categories:
clearly correct critiques: will be easy to respond to, you just fix the problem.
bad ideas: you may immediately reject because they would, for instance, break a uniform design decision affecting multiple pages. In this case, it is often wise to ask the critic to describe the problem their suggestion was intended to fix. You may well discover that you agree with the diagnosis of the problem, even if you don't like their suggestion for how to fix it.
borderline suggestions: will present the most difficulty. Bear in mind that if you think it is borderline, their idea is probably better. Furthermore, even if you really think your idea is just as good, consider taking their suggestion anyway. The larger the fraction of their suggestions you take, the more likely they are to conclude that the effort of looking carefully at your pages was worthwhile, and therefore the more likely they are to look carefully and offer thoughtful suggestions the next time you ask.

Supporting Business to Build Community Resilience to Disaster
Community resilience depends greatly on the ability of the private sector—particularly small- and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) —to bounce back, re-establish production, and continue to provide employment to local workers in the aftermath of disasters. In Vietnam SMEs employ around 80 percent of the country's workforce and produce more than 40 percent of its gross domestic product but many remain ill-prepared for natural disasters. Fifty percent of companies surveyed in 2011 by The Asia Foundation in Central Vietnam lacked emergency response or disaster management plans. Since 2011, USAID's Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) has provided nearly $1.1 million in support to The Asia Foundation's program to build disaster resilience for SMEs in Vietnam, developing cooperation with government and community groups to help small businesses and their communities prepare for floods and storms.

NEW YORK ( ETF Expert) -- Every year for the past three years, scores of pundits have predicted the demise of high-yield bonds. Reasons have included record low yields for the asset class, an imminent rise in interest rates, questionable balance sheets, recession, inflation and overvaluation.In spite of gloomy forecasts, Morningstar revealed that high-yield bonds have averaged 10.5% annually over the past three years. Perhaps ironically, this fact in and of itself is causing many to recommend abandoning funds like SPDR High Yield Corporate Bond (JNK).
Investors sell intermediate Treasuries and intermediate-term investment grade corporates, causing yield spreads to contract and all income producers to fall in price.
Investors sweat the global economy causing a sell-off in risk assets like common stocks; high-yield bonds would be dumped, though decline less than stocks.

If you like reading rants, well you're in the right place 8D
because what I'm going to rant about involves you
yes you
now their may be a light number of you whom it may not apply it
But, what I'm ranting about, is human beings
I mean
How fucking stupid can we get.
Second chances, they don't matter, people never change.
Let's skip the clock back, shall we?
To when
A woman couldn't vote
A black man couldn't play football
A couple couldn't get have interracial marriages
What is it about humans,
we constantly seem to have to find the need to pick something that makes someone different from us and shun them away for it?
I'm sorry- but if you're against gays, you fit into that same sector as 'racist' and 'sexist' because let's face it. It's the same fucking problem.
I'm almost afraid to think of what we're going to hate next, now we're hating love because the couple can't biologically reproduce more offspring into our over-populating world, what will it be in a a few decades time? Hair colour?
Holy Jaysus! You have black hair! She is the spawn of Satan!
Oh no! The souless Gingers have returned!
You're a dumb blond you have no mind to be here
Pfft- don't make me laugh, a boring brunette can't do anytthing fun
Take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror.
Now, I am all prepared to argue,
Let's face it
I could argue for a living
And I know, some of you are die-hard Christians
I personally, was brought up a Christian too
But, you know why we're called Christians?
Because we follow the teachings and a belief of a man named Jesus Christ
And you know what he taught? Be he real or not, he taught that everyone was equal, to love everyone and treat everyone with kindness. And this is the kicker, you know what else he did? He didn't shun away the sick, or the poor, or the old. This is the times when the only way to have a say was to be a rich Jewish man, well he didn't care about that. He saw us for what we really are: a whole species. Not nitpicking at the subtle differences, because it doesn't change anything, we are human. That is the big kicker, humans have rights. Not Ideas.
And, yes I know, I know.
But Loki, you forgot, there's a paragraph in the Bible which states that man should not lay with man like he does woman
You're forgetting
That the Bible, the Old Testament to be precise, was written millennia ago. And. It was written by humans, and as stated above, humans make mistakes. It's in our nature, and we learn from it, hopefully.
Who was to say this man was even a real prophet?
I mean, there's also a paragraph, saying as long as you're a Christian, then slavery is A-Ok
So, if you think Homosexuality is wrong, then you also think Slavery is right? You know, going by the Bible?
Now, I get it, it's a lot to think about, to change your view overnight
But just think about this.
God gave us the most wonderful gift of all: Free Will.
It's a beautiful thing, that, we choose our own destiny, and make our own choices.
And yes, we can make the wrong choices.
And, personally, next to Free Will, I believe Love is another great gift
Whether you have faith or not, those are two beautiful things we possess, yes?
Well, to any Christian whom believes 'God hates fags'
Do you honestly, in your heart and soul
believe that God would just suddenly take away our Free Will when we finally found someone we can Love, be them a man or a woman.
I've talked about religion, of course, many people don't have a faith, which is fine. I'm not here to shove Bibles down your throats...I'm not even sure I own a Bible but still.
It's shown that animals form same sex pair bondings
It's been shown that your sexual preference is found in your DNA, it's not a choice.
You think Gay Marriage will ruin the institute of marriage?
I mean, two people generally want to marry for love, are you saying this is worse than people getting drunk in Vegas and marrying? It's worse than people just marrying for a Green Card? It's worse than people marrying for 30 seconds, like celebrities?
Just stop.
Two people who live in a different town, a different road, a different country, let's face it. Their marriage isn't going to affect yours. They'll be living their life living fabulously - /shot and you'll be living yours, to whatever manner you want it to be. But do you really want the happiness of your life to be, to ruin someone else's' marriage?
They're going to have their rites eventually, sooner rather than later
You think they're just going to disappear? No, they'll win. Just like Blacks and Women, Gays will get their rites, it may take time, but it'll happen.
And, when it happens, you can either evolve with the rest of the world, or sit alone with only your hatred for company. It's harsh, but it's reality.
If God does exist, I'm afraid he may be ashamed at us
To believe that his children are more comfortable in a society where two men hold guns rather than hands.
Wow- Look at that, I wasn't struck down by lightning bolts~
If I missed anything, feel free to add, state your opinion, whichever opinion it is, and I will chat with ya's soon~

Jeremy Lin scored 22 points to lead the Rockets and James Harden and Chandler Parsons added 21 each. Houston had won three straight, including a 45-point win at Utah on Monday.
Two 3-pointers by Gallinari and some missed shots by the Rockets sparked a 24-3 Nuggets run that gave them a 101-88 lead with 6:54 left.
Houston clawed back and pulled to 106-102 with 2:55 left, but consecutive buckets by Andre Miller and Ty Lawson made it an eight-point game and Denver closed it out.

Cameron's Hydreigon is a dark/dragon-type Pokémon owned by Cameron.
Hydreigon is the fourth Pokémon in Camron's team, and was also his "secret weapon". It is the first Pokémon chosen by Cameron against his top 8 league battle with Ash in Strong Strategy Steals the Show!. The battle continued in Cameron's Secret Weapon!, where it was shown to be a very powerful Pokémon. It first battled Ash's Boldore. Both Pokémon fought hard but Hydreigon easily dodged all of Boldore's attacks, while landing hits with Tri Attack and Dragon Rush, and finally knocked him out with Dragon Pulse, which easily overpowered Boldore's Flash Cannon.
Despite the notable size difference, Ash's Oshawott proved to be a reasonable opponent for the Brutal Pokémon, right away scoring a hit with Aqua Jet. Hydreigon came back and avoided Oshawott's Razor Shell before striking back with Dragon Pulse. Despite taking damage from the hit, Oshawott went on with another Razor Shell, which hit one of Hydreigon's heads, and then scores a direct hit on the Brutal Pokemon with Hydro Pump. Hydreigon then fires a Tri Attack, which Oshawott is unable to block, taking more damage. Oshawott fights back with Tackle, but his following Razor Shell was countered by Hydreigon's Double Hit, which was then followed by a Dragon Rush, finally defeating the Sea Otter Pokémon.
Ash's Pignite, is what finally faints the beast, though it was no easy battle. Hydreigon scored several powerful blows, but Pignite uses Fire Pledge to force Hydriegon into flight, and then scores a direct hit with a super effective Brick Break, which knocks Hydreigon out.
In A Unova League Evolution, the score board showed that it had lost to Virgil.
