Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - In 2012, the Baltimore Orioles partied
like it was 1997.
The Orioles ended a 15-year postseason drought by eliminating Texas in a
dramatic win-or-go-home wild card matchup.
How'd they get there? By winning the close ones. The Orioles finished the
season with a stunning 29-9 record in one-run games. Even more remarkably, the
O's rattled off 16 straight wins in extra innings. No other team finished with
more than 13 extra inning wins in 2012.
The bullpen may not deserve all of the credit for Baltimore's success in 2012
but it definitely deserves some of it. Baltimore's relievers combined for a
3.00 ERA in 545 1/3 innings last season, fifth-best in the majors and the
second-lowest bullpen ERA in the American League (Tampa Bay led the AL at
2.88). Jim Johnson enjoyed a breakout season in his first year as the full-
time closer, leading the major leagues with 51 saves in 54 chances.
Johnson's strong season earned him a trip to his first All-Star game where he
was joined by teammates Adam Jones and Matt Wieters. Jones led the team in
batting average (.287) and wins above replacement (3.4) while Wieters finished
second on the team in runs batted in (83). Both players received Gold Glove
awards at the end of the season.
The Orioles weren't among the league leaders in batting average (.247) but
they made up for it by smashing 214 home runs (second in MLB) for an average
of one homer every 26 at bats. Five Orioles (Jones, Waiters, Chris Davis, J.J.
Hardy and Mark Reynolds) blasted 20 or more round-trippers last season, the
first time that's happened since 2008.
Unfortunately, Baltimore's bats fell silent in the postseason (.195) as the
team bowed out to New York in a thrilling five game series.
The Orioles' final regular season record represented a 24-game improvement
from 2011 when the team finished 28 games out of first place. Buck Showalter's
club returns essentially the the same team as last year, meaning expectations
are through the roof.
2012 FINISH (93-69) - Second Place (AL East)
KEY OFFSEASON ADDITIONS: Alexi Casilla (2B), Jair Jurrjens (SP), Danny
Valencia (3B)
KEY OFFSEASON SUBTRACTIONS: Robert Andino (2B), Endy Chavez (OF), Dana Eveland
(RP), Nick Johnson (DH), Omar Quintanilla (2B), Mark Reynolds (1B), Joe
Saunders (SP), Jim Thome (DH)
PROJECTED LINEUP: Brian Roberts (2B); J.J. Hardy (SS); Nick Markakis (RF);
Adam Jones (CF); Chris Davis (1B); Matt Wieters (C); Manny Machado (3B);
Wilson Betemit (DH); Nate McLouth (LF)
PROJECTED ROTATION: Jason Hammel (RHP); Wei-Yin Chen (LHP); Miguel Gonzalez
(RHP); Chris Tillman (RHP); Jake Arrieta (RHP)
PROJECTED CLOSER: Jim Johnson (RHP)
MANAGER: Buck Showalter
They say it's not how you start, but how you finish.
Adam Jones must have gotten a little mixed up last season. His slugging
percentage dipped by more than 60 points in the second half and he was just
plain awful in the postseason (2-for-26 with seven strikeouts).
The hope was that Jones would shake off his late season struggles and return
to have an even better season in 2013. So far, that hasn't materialized.
Jones looked like a deer caught in the headlights at the WBC (.182 AVG in six
games) and he's been just as bad in the Grapefruit League (also .182). He
isn't making contact and even when he has, his power has completely
Of course, spring training stats aren't always indicative of what we can
expect in the regular season. Ryan Braun couldn't hit a lick in Arizona last
spring (.213 in 19 Cactus League games) but he was terrific once the regular
season got underway (NL-leading 41 HR). By that same token, Pittsburgh's Matt
Hague belted seven homers last spring. His regular season home run tally? A
big ol' goose egg.
Jones is probably just in a slump right now. But if this funk stretches into
the regular season, the Orioles could have a problem on their hands.
Jason Hammel is tentatively penciled in as Baltimore's Opening Day starter. It
looks like Wei-Yin Chen will follow Hammel in the rotation with Miguel
Gonzalez and Chris Tillman clinging to the third and fourth posts
As for the final spot in the rotation, well, your guess is as good as mine.
This spring has turned into a Hunger Games style competition for the last man
standing. At certain points, up to seven different pitchers have been in
contention for the fifth spot in Baltimore's starting rotation.
Top prospect Dylan Bundy fell out of the running when the team reassigned him
to minor league camp on March 16. Jair Jurrjens and Zach Britton entered the
spring as the two favorites to land the last spot but neither has had a good
spring (4.61 ERA for Jurrjens, 6.10 for Britton). Tommy Hunter (7-8, 5.45 in
2012) had an outside shot but it looks like Showalter would prefer to use him
as a long reliever.
That leaves us with three front-runners: Jake Arrieta, Steve Johnson and Brian
Johnson (4-0, 2.11 in 12 games last season) has been the most consistent but
he doesn't have as much upside as Matusz or Arrieta.
Matusz might be the most talented pitcher in that group but there's a chance
Showalter could opt to keep him in the pen so he'll have a left-hander he can
call on in the later innings.
Arrieta has experience (60 starts for the Orioles since 2010) and he's put
together a pretty nice spring so far (1-0, 1.56 in four appearances). It's
just a matter of whether or not Showalter is willing to overlook his
disastrous 2012 campaign (3-9, 6.20).
If Arrieta does have the upper hand in the race for the fifth spot, it sure
isn't by much. In the end, we could see all seven of these candidates get a
chance to prove themselves at the big league level in 2013.
For a period in the mid 2000s, Roberts was the most consistent producer in
Baltimore's starting nine. Between 2005-2009, Roberts averaged 13 HR, 64 RBI
and 37 SB per season while hitting at a .294 clip.
Injuries began to pile up for Roberts in 2010 and since then, he has missed a
whopping 371 games. Roberts hasn't had much success at the plate over that
span, collecting a .244 average in 459 at bats.
Now for the first time in several seasons, it looks like Roberts will be 100
percent healthy on Opening Day.
Expectations are pretty low for Roberts but there's always a chance he could
have a renaissance in 2013. If Roberts reaches or comes close to his career on
base percentage of .351, he could be a major asset to the Orioles.
X-FACTOR: MATT WIETERS: You can do a lot worse than 23 HR and 83 RBI,
especially when it's only your third full season in the major leagues.
But if 2012 was the high point of Matt Wieters' career, I think we'd all be a
little bit disappointed.
When Wieters made his big league debut in 2009, he was being touted as the
next Mike Piazza. Instead his career has taken a very Brian McCann-like
If Wieters is going to have a breakout season, why not make it 2013?
First, he'll need to make some adjustments. The switch-hitting Wieters did a
lousy job against right-handers last season (.224 against righties, .323
versus southpaws) and too many of his at bats ended with strikeouts (whiffed
once every 4.7 at bats last season).
Perhaps the adjustments have already been made. Wieters has been outstanding
this spring, collecting a .429 batting average with 13 RBI. He's hitting .467
from the left side of the plate and get this: he's struck out just four times
in 35 at bats.
In a division where there's almost no margin for error, a breakout season for
Wieters could be the difference between a division title and a last place
The Orioles didn't add much this offseason, but after winning 93 games last
season, they didn't really need to. The bullpen is spectacular, the lineup has
power for days and Showalter is one of the smartest managers in the major
leagues. The only real question mark is the starting rotation, especially the
back end of it. From the looks of it, the No. 5 slot is going to be a
revolving door all season. The Toronto Blue Jays are still favorites to win
the division but a Wild Card berth doesn't seem out of the question for
Baltimore. It's going to be a coin flip for second place in the AL East with
the Orioles and Tampa Bay Rays battling punch-for-punch the whole season.

Looking at options for migrating from our existing POP3 Mercury mail system to Zimbra, specifically how to transition MX records smoothly. Mercury mail is currently set to a priority of 10 in public dns, while Zimbra is set to 20. The same domain exists on both systems as well as the same users. Currently, I am prohibiting mail flow from going to Zimbra by keeping SMTP port 25 closed on for Zimbra's IP on our Juniper firewall facing the internet. We are a small company with about 25 users.
I have always been under the impression that public dns propogation can take some time, up to 72 hours which can make MX changes tricky when it comes to migrating mail systems. I have reviewed the Split Domain article on how to handle this situation with forwarding and it seems like a bit of overkill for a small environment like ours.
My question is since I have the MX record already in place, would it be easier to simply block SMTP port 25 on the firewall to the old system when I wish to migrate? I can't shut it down completely, since other services are hosted there. That way mail would bypass the primary MX and flow to the secondary MX, Zimbra, and all I would be left to do is change user client settings to point to Zimbra. Of course I would make the changes to reflect Zimbra as the primary MX, but would not be dependent on DNS propogation for desired mail flow. What am I missing here?

Very nice. I'd love to see the descriptions for this.
Well it took a little while to figure out which forum this belonged in.
It's an underground lair/cave system... But it's also my encounter maps... But it's also finished... If I got it the mods can feel free to move it.
I think I could have TPKed my party at least once. Memorable fights. Good interaction with baddies. And a challenging end-fight to cap it off.
Good times. Hopefully someone else can get some mileage out of it.
Here it is as a 50% JPeg...
Very nice. I'd love to see the descriptions for this.
Glad you like it
I can upload the HTML for the areas and/or Masterplan file for it if anyone's particualrly wants to see them. There's also two unlabelled versions - area 10 is different in each of those.
Yep, this one looks very distinguished. Maybe giving the chasm a rougher edge would make it look more natural?
Yes I think it probably would have... But as usual I ran out of time and had to stop tinkering with it
It was a hit with the group. The Living Pit Trap in area 17 engendered strong emotions after it swallowed the Ranger and the Rogue. And there was a near TPK in area 21.

The checklists are updated based upon changes to the federal law and US Coast Guard policies. Links to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and Policies will help you to understand the requirements for our Merchant Mariner Credentialing Program.
Sea Service
Checklist FAQ
Below are the checklists which may be used to help determine professional qualifications needed for various Ratings and Officer Endorsements. Each checklist covers the following general and professional requirements:
Please select a checklist for the applied for credential.
- Deck Officers
- Deck Ratings
- Engine Officers
- Engine Ratings
- Renewal/Entry/Duplicate

- Mate means a qualified officer in the deck department other than the master.
- Operator means an individual qualified to operate certain uninspected vessels.
- First Class Pilot accompanies vessels while they enter or leave port to ensure safe navigation of entrance and departure.
Able seamen and ordinary seamen operate the vessel and its deck equipment under officer supervision. On tankers, mariners are designated to hook up hoses, operate pumps, and clean tanks. The following are ratings in the deck department:
- Ordinary Seaman means an "entry-level" unlicensed member of the deck department.
- Able Seaman means qualified member of the deck department that may work as a watchstander and/or day worker.
- Tankerman means a qualified member of the deck department trained to assist or supervise the transfer of liquid cargo.
- Lifeboatman means a member of the crew qualified to take charge of a lifeboat or a life raft.
Ship's engineers operate, maintain, and repair engines, boilers, generators, pumps, and other machinery. The following are officer endorsements in the engine department:
- Engineer means a qualified office in the engine department.
- Chief Engineer means any person responsible for the mechanical propulsion of a vessel.
- Assistant Engineer means a qualified office in the engine department.
- Designated Duty Engineer means a qualified engineer, who may be the sole engineer on vessels with a periodically unattended engine room.
Qualified members of the engine department (QMEDs), maintain the vessel in proper running order in the engine spaces below decks, under the direction of engineering officers.

A credential may be renewed at any time during its validity and for one year after expiration. NOTE: Whenever an applicant applied for "renewal" of an endorsement as deck officer, engineer officer, or qualified rating more than 12 months after expiration, instead of meeting the requirements of 46 CFR 10.227 (d) (8), the applicant must demonstrate continued professional knowledge by completing a course or by passing the complete examination.
Upon request and without examination, a mariner may be issued a duplicate credential after submitting an application with an affidavit describing the circumstances of the loss. The duplicate issued will have the same wording, authority, and expiration date as the lost credential.
An applicant must apply as an original MMC if the MMC sought is the first credential issued to the applicant after their previous credential has expired beyond the grace period (one year past the expiration date of MMC) and they do not hold a Document of Continuity.

Digital Signage
Digital signs are now available throughout campus, providing active content about campus events and activities, helpful information about campus services, and much more.
Signs are currently located in UHB, PAC, SLB, HSB, and TRAC.
Sign Content
To submit content to display on the signs, please complete the Sign Content Request Form. Any faculty, staff, or student can submit content. Content should be submitted a week in advance in any one of the following formats:
- Image file (sized 1070 x 776)
- Single slide PowerPoint presentation
- Video (mp4 format), 30 seconds or less
The Campus Relations Department has designed a template for easily adding content. You can open this template in Photoshop and edit the text box/images, etc, as desired.
Training is available for anyone interested in developing content for the signs. Please contact Kara McElwrath for training.
Best Practices
Designing content
We encourage those with limited experience with graphic design to take advantage of the templates being designed by the Campus Relations Department. They will allow you to simply drop your content into a pre-designed format.
If you have already created a publication, for example a flyer in Word or Publisher, it needs to be converted to an image format (jpg, for example) and sized to 1070 x 766. Please visit the Media Lab (lower level of Brookens Library) for assistance.
Appropriate content for signage
Examples of appropriate content for the signs includes (but is not limited to):
- Announcements for upcoming campus events/activities
- Photographs or short videos showcasing campus events/activities
- Information about campus services or resources
Requesting Four Winds Interactive Digital Sign
To request an interactive digital sign for your department please review the following information regarding the costs for acquiring, installing, and maintaing interactive digital signs. If you would like to request one, after reviewing the information, please submit a ticket to the Technology Support Center by emailing email@example.com.
There are two types of cost, the onetime purchase of necessary items and the ongoing yearly cost of licenses and software support.
- Hardware: Display/screen/TV this cost will vary based on the size of the screen and whether it is a touch screen or not. The current screens on campus are 46" touch and with the mounting bracket cost $3089 each. The display will need a PC to function on the network and ITS will provide that PC.
- Software: The Content Player license is most economically purchased as a perpetual license, this onetime cost is $1950. This license allows the departments content to be displayed on their screen along with any of the other screens on campus.
- There are two ongoing costs associated with the Four Winds Interactive digital signage, the annual subscription fee and the annual software maintenance fee. The two fees total $471 currently, these cost could increase in the future. The subscription fee is $120 and the software maintenance fee is $351.
Total first year cost for department interested in a digital sign would be $5510, the yearly cost after would be $471.
[Note: Prices are subject to change.]

Sounds interesting. What's the deadline for this?
Hey Cartographers,
Our production company is finishing up a pitch for a network television drama. We have a killer script and are scheduled to meet with NBC and CBS in the coming months. Part of what makes the show so unique is its setting -- it takes place at a boarding school. And that's where you guys come in.
We're looking for someone who can put together a map of the campus. Check out a prep school like Andover and Exeter and you'll get an idea of what we're going for. We don't have the largest budget at this point, but if you're interested in making a little money and love cartography, we'd love to hear from you.
Please email me through the forum if interested.
Thank you,
BBN Productions
Sounds interesting. What's the deadline for this?
I'm with Sapiento on this one, what is the deadline, the target fee & the format?
The deadline would probably be by the end of this month. We're not concerned with the format as long as the end result does an accurate job envisioning the layout of the campus. The most important thing is where places are located relative to each other. It would be particularly beneficial if the person lived in Los Angeles. Seeing as your forum won't allow PM to newbies, please email me at email@example.com if interested with a sample of your previous work.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I appreciate the continuation of Commission engagement with key policy makers from the State Department responsible for U.S. OSCE policy. I welcome the high-level and personal attention given to recent OSCE events by Secretary Powell and urge a sustained engagement to utilize this unique organization to advance U.S. interests in the expansive OSCE region. Today's hearing also provides Commissioners with an opportunity to highlight some of our priorities not only with respect to the OSCE as an institution, but also in terms of participating States of particular concern.
As sponsor of the Senate resolution on anti-Semitism and related violence in the OSCE region, I thank you as well as Ambassador Minikes and his team for securing agreement to the convening the Vienna Conference on Anti-Semitism, held in June. I enlist your support for a sustained specific OSCE focus on anti-Semitism, especially in light of the German offer to host a follow-up OSCE event in Berlin next year. In order to maintain focus and momentum on this issue, the December OSCE Ministerial should formally embrace the German initiative.
As we prepare to mark the second anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11th later this week, we are reminded that developments in seemingly far-off lands can have dire consequences for Americans and American interests at home and abroad. Failed and failing states--typically led by authoritarians or outright dictators--provide fertile grounds for all sorts of problems. Coddling such leaders is short sighted at best.
I share Chairman Smith's concern that Central Asian leaders believe they can get away with anything, as long as they are cooperating in the war on terrorism. While the U.S. has maintained a public profile on human rights in the countries of the region, a growing number of individuals see a growing gap between rhetoric and results. Have U.S. warnings that further development of relations is hindered by their poor human rights records begun to ring hollow? What consequences are there for leaders bent on continuing or even intensifying their crackdown on civil society and political opposition?
Obviously, the worst offender is Turkmenistan, where no human rights of any kind are observed. Having activated the OSCE mechanism to look into developments in that country since last November, the participating States, including the U.S. appear to have backed off. If the OSCE cannot or will not move ahead, what is the U.S. doing bilaterally? The Commission received reports last week that Turkmenistan's former Foreign Minister and Ambassador to OSCE may have died in prison. Any light our witnesses can shed on this would be appreciated.
As a former law enforcement officer, I have a particular interest in the OSCE's training program for policemen in Kyrgyzstan. Other countries have expressed interest in this pilot project so there is a great deal at stake in its success. In March 2002, policemen in Kyrgyzstan shot six demonstrators leading to a year of social and political upheaval. Clearly, policemen must have crowd-control options short of lethal force. But NGOs and human rights activists worry that empowering the police without inculcating respect among officials for freedom of assembly will strengthen the increasingly authoritarian regime in that country. I hope our witnesses will reassure us that serious and credible human rights provisions have been built into OSCE policing programs.
Central Asia has become the OSCE's "black hole" of human rights but there are plenty of concerns. As President Bush prepares to meet with President Putin of Russia, I trust that human rights concerns stemming from the ongoing war in Chechnya will be on the agenda. The most egregious violations of international humanitarian law in the OSCE region are occurring today in Chechnya.
Belarus continues to violate basic rights and freedoms, with independent media and foreign and domestic NGOs under increasing harassment. Last month, U.S.-funded organizations such as IREX and Internews were closed down. The OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media was forced to cancel his visit to Belarus after being denied a visa. No progress has been made on the cases of the disappeared opposition leaders, and Minsk has made no effort to meet the four conditions set by the OSCE in 2000. As Senate sponsor of the Belarus Democracy Act, I am concerned that the U.S. is not doing enough to support civil society and democratic forces in Belarus.
While we welcome Ukraine's participation in the coalition peacekeeping operations in Iraq, it is important that we not downplay other longstanding concerns, including arms deals, high-level corruption and the assault on media freedoms. Three years after the Gongadze murder, and despite considerable international pressure, the Ukrainian authorities' mishandling of that investigation has only reinforced suspicions of official involvement in his murder. We also have concerns that the crucial presidential elections scheduled for next year meet OSCE standards.
Mr. Chairman, I could go on at greater length but, in the interest of time, will stop here and look forward to the response to these points by our witnesses.

Grain elevator crumples, releasing bushels of wheat
By S. Goff
One Year AgoDecember 22, 2011 Pinnacle Bank of Grant proudly presented Perkins County Health Services with a check for $4,000 which was designated to the important new equipment for newborn infants. The bilirubin analyzer is used to measure the bilirubin content in babies, allowing proper treatment if necessary, that prevents handicapped disabilities or even death in newborns. The new machine was to be more patient and doctor friendly as well as it was a light detector instead of the previous test, an invasive needle procedure.Ten Years AgoDecember 19, 2002 After 10 years of service to the Grant Public School Foundation Board, Ron Kent was stepping down. Kent had been the president of the board for the last two years and for the last 10 years had served as treasurer or president. He was part of the establishment of the Board in 1992, and since then had given out hundreds of scholarships to graduates of Grant High School. Kent said without the support of the community, the foundation would not be what it was at that time and he was very grateful. Twenty-five Years Ago December 23, 1987 A one vehicle accident claimed the life of a Venango man the past Saturday evening. Ronnie Neese was traveling west on Highway 23 when he lost control of his vehicle causing it to go off the road and roll three times, throwing Neese from the car. He was 33 years old and was employed with Dodson Motors and was also an active member of the Venango Volunteer Fire Department. Fifty Years AgoDecember 20, 1962 "The easternmost bin at Kellogg's Grain Co. elevator here in Grant crumpled about 3:30 last Thursday afternoon and released 90,000 bushels of wheat to let it spread and form a huge pile topped by the splintered wall and roof of the former container. There were no injuries as there was no one in the immediate area at the time." Seventy-Five Years Ago December 23, 1937 "Approximately 50 new books have been ordered for the library here. These books are on different topics such as fiction, nature, history, travel, biography and geography. Pupils anticipate that their vacations would be more pleasant and profitable by reading some of them."

AG059: Manectric Charge
this wiki
Manectric Charge (Japanese: キンセツジムふたたび!VSライボルト!! Return To Mauville Gym! VS. Manectric) is the 19th episode of Pokémon: Advanced Challenge.
Episode Plot
The gang returns to Mauville City. Ash thinks they should eat something first, but Max spots a carnival, so him and Max go play. May wants to shop first, but Brock points her to a small shop of jewelry. The men advertising in Pokémon costumes are Team Rocket, actually. May sends Beautifly, Torchic and Skitty out for fun. Brock brings Mudkip, Lotad and Forretress as well. Ash sends Taillow, Torkoal, Treecko and Corphish. Torkoal is happy, so smog's everyone - Ash introduces Torkoal to other Pokémon. They greet it, so Torkoal smog Jessie and James (disguised).
Brock kicks the ball and scores 10 points and brags. Torkoal tries to play soccer as well - it stands up and kicks, but fails and falls down. The gang and Pokémon play other games as well. Meowth presses a button, chaos rampages - the Pokémon are captured in nets and cages. Team Rocket goes in the balloon with the Pokémon they stole. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, but the net is electric-proof. Forretress uses Rapid Spin, but with a little effect. Torchic uses Ember, but the net is fire-proof as well. All Pokémon use their best attacks, but nothing sets them free.
Team Rocket flies away, but out of nowhere, Wattson, his Electrike and his assistant, Watt, come to rescue. Electrike uses Thunder Wave, but the balloon is electric proof. Watt sends Ampharos and it uses Iron Tail, cutting the bag of the Pokémon inside. Electrike uses Thunder Wave, Pikachu uses Thunder and Ampharos uses ThunderShock, negating the electric-proof balloon and blasting Team Rocket off. After that is taken care of. Electrike evolves into Manectric. Torkoal is happy and smogs everyone. Ash challenges Wattson to a battle - Torkoal vs. Manectric. Watt is wondering about Skitty and challenges May to a battle, which she accepts.
The gang arrives to the Gym and they see the entrance being different. As Ash goes in, Watt stops him, as the entrance is much more changed than he thinks. In any case, they arrive to the battlefield, so Skitty battles Ampharos. Skitty begins with DoubleSlap, and uses Tackle, hitting Watt's Ampharos. Ampahros retaliates with ThunderShock, Skitty dodges the attack, but Ampharos redirects, hitting Skitty. Ampharos uses Iron Tail, hurting Skitty severely. Ampharos uses ThunderShock, so Skitty uses Assist and attacks with Quick Attack. Skitty uses DoubleSlap, defeating Ampharos.
Team Rocket arrives to the Mauville Gym and open the door to capture Pokémon. However, they soon find that they are on a roller coaster. Ash sends Torkoal, while Wattson sends his Manectric. Torkoal begins using Flamethrower. Manectric dodges and Tackles Torkoal. Team Rocket continues going to the top and fall down. Manectric uses Bite, but fails when Torkoal uses Iron Defense. Manectric uses Thunder Wave, while Torkoal uses Overheat. Overheat hits Manectric, negating its attack. Team Rocket has arrived to a whirlpool - sinking.
Torkoal uses Overheat, hitting Manectric and follows with Flamethrower. Manectric use Charge to power up and uses Thunder Wave, while Ash uses Overheat. Since it was the 3rd time Torkoal used Overheat, its attack is negated and it is stricken by Thunder Wave, defeated. Team Rocket are still on the roller coaster, being tired from all the traps. Team Rocket go to a room with 3 Raikou. Jessie sends Seviper and James sends Cacnea to capture Raikou.
Ash thanks Wattson for the battle. Watt mentions to May that next Competition is in Verdanturf Town, so Max sees it on the PokéNav. The gang says goodbye to Watt and Wattson. Meanwhile, Seviper uses Poison Tail, Cacnea uses Needle Arm and Meowth uses Fury Swipes. However, the Raikou's heads fall off, revealing them to be machines. The machines explode and Team Rocket blasts off again.
- "Blargh! What kind of Pokémon is that?" - Jessie
- "I'd say it's one we don't have to bother stealing!" - James
- Featured Pokémon: Manectric, Larvitar, Swampert, Torkoal.
- In the beginning of the episode, a classic Pokémon identification can be seen. The Pokémon shown was Bulbasaur.
Torkoal was afflicted damage by Manectric's Thunder Wave, despite the attack not causing any damage.

What the heck! 25% less deer tags this year! Damit now the odds are even less to draw. I hope I draw in another state so I can hunt this year in a good area or I guess back to the old Idaho over the counter.
I guess the $600,000 in less revenue for the decrease in tags wont hurt Nv. But man that kinda puts some perspective on the money theses states bring in on hunting each year.

Miley Cyrus' behind-the-scenes TV tour special failed to find an audience when it aired on Sunday night, scoring just 2 million viewers.
The two-hour documentary, titled "Miley Cyrus: Bangerz Tour," gave fans an all-access pass to her global trek and featured exclusive backstage footage with the Wrecking Ball hitmaker, her siblings and co-stars on the road, as well as performances of tracks such as "We Can't Stop" and "Party in the U.S.A." from her recent gigs in Barcelona, Spain and Lisbon, Portugal.
Cyrus was also shown dedicating her track "Adore You" to her beloved dog Floyd, who passed away in April.
PHOTOS: Miley Cyrus through the years
Ratings were expected to be lower than normal due to the Independence Day holiday weekend, but Cyrus' TV special was among the lowest-rated and least-watched programs of the night, according to early figures released by bosses at data firm Nielsen.
It proved to be less popular than new talent show "Rising Star," which drew 4.32 million viewers in the same time slot, while repeats of "Family Guy" and "American Dad" both attracted more than 2.4 million viewers each.

The 4-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt for the German Cup gave Bayern Munich an important confidence boost ahead of Saturday's Bundesliga clash with rivals VFB Stuttgart. Coach Louis van Gaal and team manager Uli Hoeness were pleased by the way Bayern took care of things.
Bayern defeated Frankfurt in the dying seconds last weekend (2-1) but yesterday it was a different story. Der Rekordmeister settled the issue nice and early during their midweek Cup match (0-4 win). Louis van Gaal's men led by 3-0 after thirty minutes and added another after the interval to progress smoothly to the DFB Cup quarter-finals.
"I'm very pleased with that display," said Dutch coach Van Gaal. "We kept our shape and discipline right through to the 75th minute. It was a little easier for us today, because Frankfurt set out to attack. And we also played extremely well."
"Every win makes us more confident. It's important to us to stay in contention in the cup."
Team manager Hoeness was also delighted the way Bayern played: "We were extremely good, which is why Eintracht never stood a chance. That's the way I want it.'
Both Van Gaal as Hoeness will hope their team can hang on to their good form as they travel to Stuttgart to face plagued coach Markus Babbel's squad, on Saturday.

Diagnosis: Down syndrome; Pulmonary sequestration; reflux; hypothyroidism
Aiden just turned a year old. He has had numerous hospital stays due to respiratory infections. It is very possible that Aiden is aspirating liquids based on the constant infections and diagnosed pneumonia, along with the reflux diagnosis. This could be the cause for his lung issues. The orphanage director is hopeful that a family will step forward quickly so that Aiden can get the medical care he needs.
Developmentally, Aiden is holding toys and beginning to interact with them. Due to his numerous sicknesses, he is often kept in an isolation room, so he does not have a lot of opportunities to develop his motor skills. He rolls over and will put weight on his feet when held up. He likes listening to music and looking in a mirror. He smiles when he sees familiar adults and also smiles at toys.
Photos and videos from May 2016 are available through the agency. Aiden is in an area that allows for very short travel.

David Cook in Powder Blue at The K!
In between a ceremonial first pitch and belting "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the seventh-inning stretch, David Cook found himself in a familiar – yet unfamiliar place – at Kauffman Stadium.
Visiting some Royals fans and associates, the Blue Springs, Mo., native stopped to take in the game from a press level suite…the same type of Kauffman Stadium suite, he said, that he use to clean as a seasonal employee for six years.
Yes, a lot has changed for the Royals employee-turned-"American Idol" finalist.
Cook, back in Kansas City for just the day, donned a blue Royals jersey with his name across the back and hit the field with Royals pitcher Brett Tomko to throw out a ceremonial first pitch prior to Friday's Royals-Orioles game. He then accepted a Royals jacket and a framed lineup card that stating he was the official "10th player" on the team from Manager Trey Hillman.
On Friday, the crowd of 21,873 – along with a news helicopter – helped us welcome Cook back to Kansas City. And, from all accounts we heard from Cook and his family, the "American Idol" finalist (who is still looking for your votes!), could not have been happier to be out in front of his hometown fans in the stadium where his hometown team plays!

On January 17, 2013, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a press release announcing publication of the final omnibus rule with Modifications to the HIPAA Privacy, Security, Enforcement and Breach Notification Rules under the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act.
The final rule updating HIPAA Privacy, Security and Breach Notification requirements creates a presumption of breach when an impermissible use or disclosure of PHI occurs and increases the fines for breaches. It also applies HIPAA directly to business associates and to some of their subcontractors and mandates changes to the notice of privacy practices given to patients.
What does this mean for your business? The Final Rules reiterate the importance that healthcare providers meet stringent requirements for patient privacy and data security. Today, however, their financial exposure has grown, given the aggressive enforcement posture that OCR has adopted towards organizations that have lax privacy/security postures.
Highlights from the final ruling:
- Many of HIPAA's privacy and security requirements will now directly apply to business associates.
- Business associates may also be liable for the increased penalties for noncompliance based on the level of negligence up to a maximum penalty of $1.5 million.
- Subcontractors of business associates will automatically become business associates themselves.
- The definition of breach is changed so that an impermissible use or disclosure of protected health information is presumed to be a breach unless the covered entity or business associate demonstrates that there is a low probability that the protected health information has been compromised.
- Breach notification is not required if it is demonstrated through a risk assessment that there is a low probability that the protected health information has been compromised, rather than demonstrate that there is no significant risk of harm to the individual as was provided under the interim final rule.
- The final rule also identifies the more objective factors covered entities and business associates must consider when performing a risk assessment to determine if PHI has been compromised and breach notification is necessary.
- Patients can request a copy of their electronic medical record in an electronic form.
- There are new limits on how information is used and disclosed for marketing and fund-raising purposes; in particular, the sale of an individual's health information without permission is prohibited.
- An individuals' ability to authorize the use of his/her health information for research purposes will be streamlined.
- The final rule is effective on March 26, 2013; the compliance date is 180 days thereafter (September 22, 2013). Covered entities and business associates will have up to one year after the 180-day compliance date to modify contracts in order to comply with the new rules.
Healthcare information flows
The flow of healthcare information follows the patient, starting at the doctor's office, to laboratories, imaging centers, pharmacies, and other care facilities. This natural flow of medical records provides many points where information security must be considered and proper processes implemented.
The increasing interconnection, while extremely beneficial for patient healthcare, also raises risks related to patient privacy and confidentiality. There is a heightened consumer awareness regarding privacy of sensitive information, and the potential impact of reported data breaches has caused consumers to expect and demand protection of their personal health information.
As healthcare operations benefit from advancing technologies that promote information sharing, it is necessary to build and use the appropriate information protection framework to preserve the integrity and protect the confidentiality of Protected Health Information (PHI) and Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
Information protection evaluation checklist
Here is a list of questions that can help get you started with building the health information protection framework around the key elements.
Strategy and Awareness
- Have you developed a health information protection strategy that encompasses the key elements of HIPAA and the HITECH Act?
- Have you performed a recent assessment to determine your compliance posture with the HIPAA Privacy/Security Rule?
- Have you prepared security awareness programs to promote the education of Health Information Privacy and HITECH requirements within your organization?
Information Security and Privacy
- Have you reviewed and updated Notice of Privacy Practices to reflect changes in privacy and security policies?
- Have you made updates to your security policies and program to reflect the changes in regulatory standards?
- Have you evaluated the restrictions on the sale and marketing imposed by the HITECH Act?
Security Technology and Operations
- Have you developed a detailed Breach Notification Policy that complies with HITECH and any state law counterpart to the new federal breach notification provisions?
- Have you evaluated access management if using EHR (individual's right to access) according to the HITECH guidance?
Risk Management
- Have you expanded your Business Associate Inventory to include vendors and other related services?
- Have you updated Business Associate Agreements to include expanded new requirements?
While data security requirements such as HIPAA and HITECH impose mandatory requirements, many health practitioners and organizations recognize that protecting healthcare information and ensuring consumer privacy is also a good business practice that leads to satisfied consumers. The increasing exchanges of health information bring new challenges in privacy and security as the industry becomes more and more interconnected. The security and privacy of patient data is a key element in creating a secure healthcare information infrastructure. The magnitude, complexity, and dynamic nature of developments affecting the exchange of health information demand a broad and flexible information protection strategy. This information protection strategy must encompass risk management and governance policies so that people, processes, and technologies can provide for the growing security and privacy requirements for proper treatment of health information.
There is a revolution in health information and health IT, moving toward EHRs, HIEs, ACOs, analytics, outcomes-based research, mobile, telemedicine, social media and other new and secondary uses. The new HIPAA changes will have immediate consequences, and the handling of health information is increasingly a regulated and complex area with heightened penalties and disclosure requirements for breaches and missteps. It is important for organizations to understand the financial and operational implications and develop a well thought-out strategy to remain in compliance and support the new health information uses, health IT, and channels.

Denver, CO (Sports Network) - A snafu in paperwork has caused the Denver
Broncos to release star defensive end Elvis Dumervil.
The Denver Post reports Dumervil signed off on a new contract arrangement from
the Broncos and his agent faxed it the team, but it arrived at 2:06 p.m. local
time. That was six minutes past the deadline to file contracts with the NFL
Because of the problem, the Broncos chose to release Dumervil instead of
guaranteeing him his $12 million salary for next season. The newspaper reports
the Broncos could be hit with a $4.889 million hit against their salary cap.
According to the report, Dumervil was asked to take a pay cut from the $12
million he was due to make next season, but whatever the arrangement he was to
be guaranteed a salary if he was on the roster by 2 p.m. local time. Dumervil
reportedly agreed to take a pay cut down to $8 million and the sides had
agreed to a restructured contract about 35 minutes prior to the deadline.
The newspaper reports the Broncos faxed the proposal to Dumervil and his
agent, but the signatures were needed by 2 p.m. The Broncos were reportedly
fearful they'd be stuck with the $12 million owed to Dumervil so a minute
prior to the deadline he was released.
The Broncos could re-sign Dumervil, but there are salary cap ramifications
according to the newspaper. He's now a free agent.
Dumervil had 11 sacks last season. He led the NFL with 17 sacks in 2009 and
has 63 for his career.

HOLLAND, Mich. (AP) -- A weather buoy will remain in afloat in Lake Michigan off Holland compiling data on wind speed and direction, air temperature, wave height and surface water temperature.
The buoy will be deployed three miles off Port Sheldon from May through November.
The cost of operating the buoy over the next three years will be covered by a $100,000 grant. More funding is being sought to add equipment that can measure water temperature and do real-time image and video recording.
The data can be used to improve forecasts, alert swimmers and boaters, and aid in search and rescue operations.
The buoy was two miles off Tunnel Park last summer.

Donald M. Knox Sr., 78
Donald Morris Knox Sr., son of the late Donald M. Adams and Sarah V. Knox, was born on January 14, 1935 in Baltimore, Md. He departed this life on March 4, 2013 after a lengthy illness
Donald received his education in the Baltimore City Public School System,. and attended the legendary Dunbar High School. He became employed by the Continental Can Company, which is now Crown, Cork and Seal, from which he retired after 38 years of service.
Donald wed the late Esther Olivia Stokes and from this union five children were born.
Donald was affectionately known as "Duck." To know him was to love him. He was a people person in every sense of the word. To be in his presence was surely enjoyable because of his jovial personality and very positive demeanor. Some of his favorite past times were listening to jazz, going to jazz shows, dancing, singing, and traveling. He was always a well groomed gentleman, with his signature wide brim hats. Donald was resilient, strong and proud to the end. He will certainly be missed.
He was preceded in death by: his brother, Wallace Hooker; daughter, Sonia Renee Knox; and son, Kevin Edward Knox.
He leaves to mourn: his daughter, Darlene Delores Knox, "daddy's little girl;" sons, Donald Morris Knox Jr., and Morris Clinton Knox; special brother-in-law, Kenneth Taylor; and a very loving and devoted friend, Laura Clark.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Tubular Wheels in stock than that.View Similar Products
ENVE 1.45 Carbon Road Wheelset - Tubular $0.00
We're sure that you've heard this before, but rotational weight is the most vital area for you to direct your gram-focused conservatism. However, this doesn't mean that you should be willing to sacrifice rigidity and aerodynamic gains solely in the name of weight. Absolutely not. The way that we see it, every wheel depth serves a purpose -- 25mm for the mountains, 65mm for time trial, and 45mm for everything in between. Luckily, ENVE shares our mindset and have prepared an ultralight version of its Classic 45, the ENVE 1.45 Carbon Road Tubular Wheelset. At a svelte 295 grams per hoop, the 1.45 is called the 'Magic Bullet' around the ENVE office for a reason. Simply put, the 1.45 can do it all, and it'll do it faster than its 'competition.'
Of course, there are many factors to the 1.45's ridiculous stiffness-to-weight ratio. Starting at the interface between the spokes and the rim, ENVE uses a patented process of molding in spoke holes, nipple seats, and valve stem holes. Knowing that carbon fiber gains strength from continuous fibers, ENVE routes the fibers around each hole in a 100% intact design. This design allows a lower weight at the spoke face, and adds overall rigidity to the rim. When built, the molded design promotes both higher spoke tension and tension uniformity. Another aspect of the 1.45's light weight is due to ENVE's use of removal bladders during the molding process. While most composite rim manufacturers leave the rim-shaping inflatable bladder in the rim, ENVE spends the time and money to remove it. This time-consuming process reduces rim weight, and makes for a perfectly tensioned wheel build.
And while all of that technology creates an aggressive stiffness-to-weight ratio, we all know that a 45mm deep wheel is built for speed in any conditions. Sure, rigidity adds to this variable, but so does the build. The ENVE 1.45s are hand-built in the USA with DT Swiss 240 hubs laced with 20/24 DT Swiss Aerolite bladed spokes. So, when you utilize the quick, powering gains of the rim, the 240's low-resistance and minimal rotational weight (around 209g at the rear) will keep your speed on the rivet with less exertion coming from your end.
The ENVE 1.45 Carbon Road Tubular Wheelset is available in a tubular version. For the freehub body, you can choose either a Campagnolo or Shimano compatibility. Please note that the Shimano option is compatible with the new Shimano Dura Ace 9000 11-speed system.

Are the nipples on these spokes/wheels internal or external?
They spoke nipples are internal on these wheels. If you have any other questions or would like to place an order, get in touch me directly at email@example.com and I can get you taken care of! These wheels rock.
light durable fast
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Very very happy with the Enve wheels in general but especially the 1.45's. To get a wheel this light that will hold up over time and abuse is rare so these should definitely be on your race wheel consideration list. If you want a more general race wheel the 1.67's may suit you a little better in my opinion, but if your a weight weenie like me these will out climb anything out there. Just as importantly they are stiff, stable, and comfortable to ride. Braking was solid with the Enve brake pads, make sure you use those for sure. If you have any questions on these or any of the Enve road wheels contact me directly at email@example.com.

These wheels are the best upgrade you can make to your Road/Cross bike. CF is not only light, but stiff for added efficiency.

Ok - this is the worst pre-vis of a throne ever made.
I swear.
I've done research.
What I'm looking for is to have someone take the idea that I'm showing above (griffins on the sides as arm rests, a sun display as the back with some kind of red-cushion for the back and seat) and turn into what could only be a MUCH better version.
Any help would be appreciated.
