Exotic, Rare and Defying all Norms... so where's the Media?
International and particularly western media outlets have failed to cover the story of extremely low malaria rates in the poor south Indian state of Kerala.We know that Kerala has been ruled since independence by left-leaning governments which have developed locally-based malaria response and prevention efforts. We know that the government's commitment to strictly locally-sourced medical care has afforded Kerala an extraordinary health care system with a well-integrated anti-malaria campaign. We know that malaria was temporarily eradicated in Kerala and when it resurged throughout India in the late 1960s rates remained lower in Kerala than in any other Indian states. We know that the state is now employing its wide-reaching and well-developed health provision system to keep malaria at bay, isolating it to a few regions and working to reduce transmission rates within those areas. From these statements we know that elements of Kerala's unique health care system can be used as models in efforts to improve the health of people in other parts of the developing world. With such a highly valuable source of information and experience available to development scholars and experts worldwide, in this blog I beg the question: why have the media- the transmitters of information and knowledge, the definers of what people view as important and know is possible- neither paid nor brought much attention to the successes of Kerala's health care system? Before I can address the above question, I feel it is important that I summarize the main themes I drew from the few news articles I did find in my online search for "malaria" + "Kerala" or "developing nations".
Modern mainstream Indian and Keralan media cover some resurgence of malaria cases in Kerala state over the last few years but for the most part do not point any fingers at governmental or medical officials. Instead most media sources relate increased malaria rates to environmental factors, the complex nature of the virus, or the movement of goods and people between states. Local news articles on the topic remain neutral, stating that resurgences are causing concern for health authorities but that they are taking matters into their own hands and working to mitigate the presence of malaria. One article for a Keralan news organization defies the rest, claiming that the media only cover new diseases even when older ones like malaria return in outbreaks each year. "The health care system is deteriorating," the author claims, "and is no longer a model for other states." It seems that when malaria was a newer disease media coverage of the disease and progress or regression in the fight against it was more frequent and significant. In more recent years when malaria has been largely kept at bay and shows itself only in low numbers during certain times of the rainy season or in migrant laborers, it has lost its place in much of the local media coverage, as there are more pressing current issues to cover.
Whereas a lack of media coverage of malaria-response efforts is logical on a local level as it has become a norm of the state, there should be or have been more international and particularly western media coverage of the extremely low malaria rates in the poor south Indian state of Kerala. This topic- a tropical, "exotic" state South India defying the generally-held idea that people can only attain health and standard-of-living levels similar to those held by Americans after they've developed industrially and economically like the U.S., certainly is unexpected, exciting news. To report on the story of Kerala's impressive ability to drastically decrease malaria rates, one of the most common killers of low-income, tropical populations, would suit the journalistic ideals of being investigative, working in the interest of the public, and making information accessible. It seems that despite the opportunities for producing good journalism that the "story" of Kerala's health care provided, very few American journalists or the news outlets they work for think the story is worth covering.
American mainstream media sources have largely failed to cover my story altogether, either lumping all of India together and thereby hiding the extraordinary success Kerala has had in the fight against the spread of malaria, or covering malaria-stricken states across the developing world as if they are a single entity, all at the same place in terms of eradication efforts and all in the same needy position. The meager coverage that is provided by U.S. media sources portray malaria response efforts as up to the U.S. and other Western donors, rarely even entertaining the idea that antimalarial campaigns can come from the nations experiencing the disease firsthand. The most frequent result pertaining to malaria within mainstream U.S. news databases now has to do with the latest vaccine being tested in Sub-Saharan Africa by British pharmaceutical giant, GlaxoSmithKline. Between the media's praise of western medical research on African babies and its calls for more Americans to donate money for international aid efforts it is clear that U.S. mainstream media players are working to reproduce and lend legitimacy to the notion that the West knows best when it comes to combating malaria.
The little news coverage I was able to find of malaria response perpetuates North-South divides and the idea that developing nations are inherently dependent on Western governments and aid organization for medical care and general development. My analysis does not end with the above lofty conclusion simply because there is little media coverage of my topic but continues on at this time to examine what is not provided by the media. An analysis in my next blog of why there is very little news of Kerala's largely effective and progressive anti-malaria efforts to be found in modern news sources is most useful to my underreported story because it sheds light on the economic system in place in Kerala, which I maintain is the leading determiner of the state's ability to effectively meet citizen's health care needs.

Ratso Rizzo and Joe Buck are back: To mark its 25th anniversary as 1969's Oscar-winning Best Picture, Midnight Cowboy will be re released, opening Feb. 25 in L.A. and New York City. The subject matter "is just as controversial today as it was then," says Jon Voight, 55, who played the naive Texas cowboy gigolo befriended by Dustin Hoffman's small-time coman. Thankfully, Voight commands a much bigger salary today than he did then. "After Midnight Cowboy, I had to go to work right away on Gunsmoke so I could pay my bills," says Voight, who made only $17,000 for his part in John Schlesinger's movie. "I wanted the role so much I said I'd do the piece for nothing, and they took me up on it pretty much."
The thriller Blink taps into every woman's urban nightmare as Madeleine Stowe, a visually impaired violinist alone in her Chicago apartment, is awakened by an intruder. To play the outlandish cop who is assigned to the case, costar Aidan Quinn confronted a nightmare of his own: doing a striplease in a bar "That was frightening," says Quinn, 34. "I kept saying, 'There's no way a cop is going to do that.' " But his research showed otherwise. "The first night I went out with the Chicago P.D.," he says, "we went into a cop bar, and it wasn't five minutes before a cop dropped his drawers and danced around in his underwear." So Quinn did the dance, only to face yet another fear—going on the Late Show with David Letterman. Says Quinn: "Going before a live audience where you're supposed to be funny—that's terrifying."
Playing Ceena, the lippy hippie, to right-wing ranter Henry Winkler on Fox's new sitcom Monty comes naturally to China kantner, daughter of the Jefferson Airplane's Grace Slick and Paul kantner (who split in 1975). "I don't take anything from anybody. If someone messes with me, I'm like a mafioso—there's bloodshed!" says Kantner, 23, who calls Monty "a pompous, permanently-having-a-bad-hair-day facist" but shares a house with him on the show because she's engaged to his son. Kantner didn't even take a helpful hint when she first came to Hollywood. " 'We really like your reading,' " Kantner recalls being told, " 'but you might want to lose 10 pounds. That way, for men in the audience, there's something to watch.' I said, 'I'm 115 pounds. If I've got a fat bull, I'll get work with it'—and here I am!"
Country rocker Travis Tritt calls singing at the Super Bowl last month "a dream," but a bigger career coup was reuniting the Eagles after 13 years for the "Take It Easy" video from Common Thread: The Songs of the Eagles. "These guys were major influences on my life," says Tritt, 31. "I rode around listening to Hotel California on eight-track in my '69 Rambler. At the shoot, I walked up to them and said, 'Thank you for supplying the soundtrack to my life.' " Not that meeting the disbanded group inspired a peaceful, easy feeling at first. "I'd heard rumors about personality conflicts—especially between Glenn Frey and Don Henley—but everybody got along great. We had a small setup in an L.A. club, so it felt more like a high school band getting back together."

DTJ Consulting - Milford, PA - Phone: (570) 686-5400
Computer system designers in Milford specialize in designing computer systems. They define interfaces, usually also the most difficult part of the job, thereby, satisfying three conflicting requirements that an interface should be simple, complete, and should admit a sufficiently small and fast implementation. They understand that each interface is a small programming language, defining a set of objects and the operations that are used to manipulate the objects. They present a concrete syntax with every other aspect of programming language design. They use procedure arguments to provide flexibility in an interface that may be restricted or encoded in various ways for protection and portability. This technique simplifies an interface, eliminating a jumble of parameters that amount to a small programming language.

Bystanders say Buffalo Police used excessive and brutal force during a conflict that erupted Friday afternoon at the corner of Herkimer and West Ferry streets on the city's West Side.
The confrontation began outside Island Mini-Mart, a corner store, when two young men say they asked a police officer to move her vehicle, which was blocking theirs. It quickly escalated into a physical conflict between more than a dozen police officers and a handful of civilians, during which people were slammed against cars, hit and attacked by police dogs, bystanders say.
When it was over, two young men, ages 19 and 16, were taken to the hospital, with one suffering from badly bruised ribs and the other a mild concussion.
"It's terrible what they did to my kids," said Kathy Coleman, mother of Trey and Romeo Donaldson. Coleman has contacted a lawyer and plans to pursue legal action.
Michael J. DeGeorge, spokesman for the Buffalo Police Department, said police in the area were pulling over a vehicle that they thought may have been connected to a bank robbery. When police pulled over the vehicle, things became chaotic, he said. DeGeorge said he is not aware of any injuries, and that the matter is being investigated.
If anyone has a complaint regarding police conduct, they can file it through the Internal Affairs Unit, either by phone, online or at the station.
Ten to 12 people, both participants and bystanders, described the incident in essentially the same way. Many of them also recorded the confrontation on their cellphones. This is the version of events told by bystanders and participants:
Trey Donaldson, 19, was leaving the store with his brother, David Smith, 22. The two had parked their car on the side of the road, and a police car was blocking it.
Donaldson said he asked a female officer in the car if she could move so that he could get his car out. The officer responded using several curse words, witnesses said, and told him she would not move the car.
The officer then told the two to get back in the car. When they asked if there was a problem, she got out of the car and pulled out a gun, they claimed. Smith said he repeatedly asked the female officer, "What is the nature of your inquiry?" because he did not know why she was pointing a gun at them.
At that point, several other officers approached and Smith ran from the scene. Donaldson remained there. He kept asking the officers what the problem was; he did not put up a fight as the officers handcuffed him, hit him and slammed him up against the car, the witnesses told The News.
Police were "treating us with no respect, like if we were animals," Donaldson said.
Two passengers in the back of the car, one of them a pregnant woman, got out of the car to ask what was going on. The police began attacking them, too, bystanders said.
When the confrontation was over, Donaldson's shirt was ripped, he had scratches across his collarbone and his ribs were badly bruised.
Donaldson's younger brother, Romeo, 16, approached the scene and began recording what was happening with his cellphone. When he got close to one officer, the officer ripped the cellphone out of his hand and broke it in half. The officer then hit Romeo on the head.
Neighbors who witnessed the incident said police dogs were biting several people, and officers were slamming people against cars and beating them.
Smith's girlfriend, who is pregnant, was reportedly slammed against the hood of a car. Another young neighborhood girl also approached the scene to ask what was happening and to tell the cops they were violating people's rights. An officer reportedly threatened to spray her with Mace and sic dogs on her, bystanders said.
The police took Donaldson into custody. He was issued an appearance ticket for charges of obstructing governmental administration and disorderly conduct. Jonathan Smith, who approached the scene to ask what was going on, was also detained for disorderly conduct.
Those involved and bystanders said the confrontation was the latest in a number of incidents of police brutality in the area.
Smith and others said they are well-versed in their constitutional rights so that they can defend themselves if police act with unnecessary force. Still, they say, expressing their rights seemed to make the officers angrier.
"They ask why we run from the cops," Donaldson said.

Iliac horns (Fong's lesion) are bilateral, but not always symmetrical, bony iliac protrusions arising from the posterior surfaces of the iliac bones. They are usually about 2.5 cm in diameter, and project about 3 cm laterally and posteriorly; in general, they are easily palpable. Although this abnormality is not rare, with cases being described predominantly in the radiologic literature, reports of this lesion are virtually absent from the pediatric literature. It therefore seemed desirable to bring this hereditary abnormality and its associated malformations involving fingernails and the skeletal system to the attention of pediatricians by reporting a case and briefly reviewing the pertinent literature.
Report of Case
A boy, 810/12 years of age, was brought to the Mayo Clinic in September, 1963, because of recurrent left abdominal pain. He is of Swedish-German descent and his pedigree on the paternal side is presented in Fig 1. At birth he had

BROOKLYN, MI – A Columbia School Board member who's been criticized and censured for a public letter she wrote under a fictitious name has resigned.
Bob Wahr, president, and Garry Applegate, vice president, confirmed that fellow board member Amy Miller sent an email announcing her resignation at about 12:45 p.m. Friday, June 7 to all board members and Columbia School District Superintendent Pam Campbell.
"As of today, June 7, 2013, I am stepping down from the Columbia School Board," the email said. "Please accept this as my letter of resignation."
The board is expected to formally accept Miller's resignation at its 7 p.m. meeting Monday, June 10 in the community room at Columbia Central High School, 11775 Hewitt Road, Wahr said.
"We appreciate Amy's service and wish her the best in her future endeavors," he said.
Attempts to reach Miller, the board's secretary, were unsuccessful.
In April, Miller was censured by board members because of a letter to the editor that she submitted and was published in the March 5 edition of the Brooklyn Exponent newspaper under the fictitious name "Conrad Wilson."
The letter questioned the February hiring of Josh Kubiak as the high school's head varsity football coach and suggested Miller's husband Jason, a five-year CCHS assistant varsity coach, was a better choice.
When the newspaper discovered Miller wrote the letter, she was given the chance to publicly identify herself as its writer, which she did in another letter to the editor published in the Exponent on Tuesday, March 12.
"This is Amy's decision and I wish her well," Applegate said. "And I look forward to our school district moving forward in a positive direction."
Chris Plummer, the spokeswoman for a committee of Columbia residents unhappy with Miller's actions, said at the board's May 13 meeting the group would pursue a recall of Miller if she did not step down.
Miller was elected to the board as a write-in candidate in the May 2011election, following the district's decision to close Miller Elementary School, which her children attended.
The board has 30 days to appoint someone to fill Miller's position. Those wishing to be considered should submit a letter of interest to the district's administration office, which is located at the high school.
The newly appointed board member will serve until the general election in November 2014.

Additional donations made to
county fair's grandstand project
LISBON - On Monday, the Columbiana County Fairboard announced two $50,000 gifts from the Richard F. Wilk Jr. family and the families behind Hanover Farms, the Zehentbauers, that moved the Columbiana County Fair's grandstand project closer to its goal of $900,000. The Wilk family gift will create a winner's circle where winners of any competition will be photographed and recognized. "My family has been blessed in many ways, and we are thrilled to be in a position to support the Columbiana County Fair," said Dick Wilk, a lifelong resident of Columbiana County who founded Specialty Ceramics Inc. and Refractory Specialties Inc. in the early 1990s. Both companies were sold in 2011, but he still manages them.
The Neil and Richard Zehentbauer families of Hanover Farms decided to name the 240-square foot press box that will sit atop the new grandstand. The family grew up attending and participating at the fair. "We have worked hard and been fortunate as a family, so we loved the idea of helping the fair achieve their goal of having the grandstand up in time for this year's fair," said Zehentbauer.
The fairboard razed the aging grandstand on Dec. 14, 2013. The new grandstand will seat 2,500, which is 1,100 more than the previous seating. "The new grandstand will allow us to think outside of the traditional box when it comes to entertainment and other activities, even outside of fair week," said John Wolf, fairboard president.
Fairboard members hope the community will continue to step forward with many more gifts, big or small, to help reach the goal. "The donations have ranged from $20 to $300,000. We are so grateful for the support, and we are in need of them all," said Tresa Unkefer, fairboard secretary. This year's fair is July 28-Aug. 3. For more information call 330-424-5531.

The Fury
Watching this 1978 film, I had no idea why it was called "The Fury." Iwatched for ten minutes. No clue. Half hour. Still didn't know. Then 45 minutes into it, still unable to figure out what director Brian De Palma was thinking, I had enough. I ripped my VCR out of the entertainment unit, sparks flying as the cord disengaged from the wall, and threw it right through my front window, off the balcony and onto the cement two stories below. I had just destroyed a $300 VCR. I now knew why the film was called "The Fury."
It stars Amy Irving, Andrew Stevens and Kirk Douglas. If ever there were a case for jailing a casting director for crimes against humanity, this is it. They're like the Three Musketeers of bad acting. Apparently, Kirk Douglas hadn't yet realized that he'd far exceeded the age at which it's palatable for an actor to take off his shirt. He goes swimming with his son (Stevens) early in the movie, and all these Arabs come out of nowhere and start shooting at him. We quickly learn that John Cassavettes is behind this and that his son is "special" and that he's taken him somewhere.
Next thing we know, we're following Amy Irving around and watching her make toy trains derail and give people nosebleeds. All this happens because she has yet to harness her psychic abilities. It's rather suspicious how easily this inability to control ESP could be mistaken for a simple inability to act. There's also a score by John Williams that makes you long for the days of hyperactive children and toy pianos.
As directors go, De Palma gets picked on more than others, and I had always wondered what exactly caused this, aside from the inevitable homage de Hitchcock. This film answers that question. His camera twirls around people at the most inopportune and banal times. Of note is a scene where Amy Irving and Carrie Snodgrass share bowls of ice cream, which is so painful that I will never eat another dairy product as long as I live.
Incidentally, this is the big screen debut of Daryl Hannah, who lives in a teepee.

There are (at least) three significant implications from our discovery that the bulk of Europa's small crater population is comprised of secondary craters. (1) Using the more numerous, and thus statistically more significant, small craters to derive surface ages is now suspect. Far-flung secondaries from a single primary crater can dominate a local crater population, so a high-density population doesn't necessarily reflect a greater integrated exposure time, it could instead result from a single exposure to extensive crater ejecta. (2) The Jovian system's primary impacting population, which presumably is comprised of mostly comets as understood from recent dynamical arguments, is deficient in small objects. Thus, small comets are rare in the Jovian system. Because many of the Jupiter-family comets come from the Kuiper belt, it's possible that the Kuiper belt has a shallow size-distribution at small sizes. (3) Ejecta production that makes secondary craters is staggeringly efficient. There are very few large primary craters on Europa (less than 40 are currently known), yet we've identified tens of thousands of secondaries in high-resolution Galileo images that cover less than 1% of Europa's surface. Although there are mechanical differences between ice and rock during the crater excavation process, very cold ice such as that on Europa behaves similarly to rock. We expect that impacts into rocky terrain also produce similar multitudes of secondary craters. Thus we believe the small-crater record of the inner Solar System is significantly contaminated by secondary craters. Any attempt to derive impacting populations (i.e.\ near-Earth objects at diameters below what's found in telescopic surveys) based on lunar or martian small-crater curves will suffer a significant bias from the secondary population.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Giant Interactive Group, Inc. (UNKNOWN: GA.DL ) popped 12% today after a group led by Chairman Yuzhu Shi offered to take the Chinese online game developer private for about $2.8 billion.
So what: The all-cash offer values Giant Interactive at $11.75 per American depositary share, representing a premium of 16% to Friday's close. Of course, the bidding group already owns about 47% of Giant Interactive's shares, so the move shouldn't come as too big of a surprise to shareholders.
Now what: Giant Interactive plans to form a special committee of independent directors to evaluate the offer. "We believe that the Acquisition will provide superior value to the Company's shareholders," Shi's consortium wrote in a letter to Giant Interactive's board. "In considering our offer, you should be aware that the Consortium Members are interested only in acquiring the outstanding shares of the Company that the Consortium Members do not already own, and that the Consortium Members do not intend to sell their stake in the Company to any third party." With Giant Interactive shares now up about 130% over their 52-week lows, taking at least some dough off the table seems like a prudent thing for shareholders to do.

USC Dragon Boat is a competitive club sport open to any and all USC students. From our beginnings in 2005, we have been and still are a completely student-run and self-supported club. A regular at many dragon boat events, USC has improved dramatically every year and is one of the top college teams in California.
USCDB is one of the hardest-working club sports on campus. We hold weekend water practices on both Saturday and Sunday where we focus on timing, technique, and endurance. During the week, we expect that you will also work out to improve your strength and endurance. Don't worry if all of this seems confusing, you will have a veteran paddler to teach you what to do.
In return, you can expect to get, first and foremost, very fit. We train for power, endurance, and cardiovascular fitness. If you've never been athletic, you can expect to be. If you are, we'll take you to a higher level. Secondly, you can expect to gain a family at USC. We travel up and down California, and even as far as Arizona, as a team and you'll come to know your fellow paddlers very well. In addition, we have many social events throughout the year for reasons ranging from holidays to "because we said so." You'll amass a collection of victory medals and memories that you will treasure. We promise.
Dragon boat is a co-ed paddling sport taking place in a long, canoe-shaped boat. There are two paddlers on each bench, and between eighteen and twenty paddlers on a bench. There is a drummer and a steersman, responsible for keeping the boat moving at speed and for keeping the boat on a straight course.
Races are typically 500 meters long but they can be as short as 250 meters or as long as 1000 meters. However long the races are, winning depends on teamwork and coordination. Teams that paddle at the same time push the boat forward while teams that are off time from each other slow down.
For more information about USCDB or about dragon boating in general, feel free to browse our website or contact our eboard at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information

Viviscal Hair Filler Fibers are designed for all hair types and for both men and women. Hair is transformed from a sparse and thinning texture to a full and thick appearance. Microscopic, electrostatically charged fibers adhere to the thinning area of scalp hair to simulate the appearance of a thick and normal hair growth pattern. The fibers are easy to apply and hair is given density and volume within 30 seconds of application. Viviscal Hair Fill Fibers last in bad weather are easy to apply, and wash out with shampoo. The fibers come in natural looking colors that suit every individual, and more than one color can be blended to create individualized hair color. The box lasts approximately one month. Auburn is a medium to dark reddish brown color.
Tap a sufficient amount of fibers onto dry hair until the scalp is no longer visible and hair appears thicker. Gently stroke the area of application to disperse the fibers in an even pattern and wash hands upon completion. To extend results, lightly spray with hair spray.

THE African National Congress (ANC) and its alliance partners will emerge stronger and united from its policy conference, South African Communist Party (SACP) general secretary Blade Nzimande said on Thursday.
"We hold policy conferences to plug gaps," he said on the sidelines of the ruling party's policy conference in Midrand.
What was important for the SACP was the content of the discussion papers, Mr Nzimande said.
"President Jacob Zuma articulated the need for [a] radical shift; the tone set by the president calls for radical measures."
Mr Nzimande was referring to the party's discussion paper on the need for a so-called "second transition" to correct economic imbalances in the country. He said the SACP agreed with the proposal.
He also said the SACP agreed with the proposal of nationalisation.
"We are clear on nationalisation. We feel Sasol and ArcelorMittal must be renationalised as key national entities."
Mr Nzimande said debates at the policy conference were robust and encouraging.
"We are happy the way the conference has progressed so far ... we will emerge stronger with deep, radical determination."
The conference, in its third day, was expected to consolidate reports from commissions on the second transition and on organisational renewal.
ANC spokesman Jackson Mthembu earlier dismissed reports that the idea of a second transition had been rejected.
He said discussions were still being finalised.
Business Day reported earlier that delegates had shot down the "second transition" policy concept, which Mr Zuma has championed as a solution to poverty and unemployment.
The rejection of the concept - debate on which is regarded as a proxy for the ANC's leadership battle - will embolden members and leaders campaigning to replace Mr Zuma at the party's elective conference in December.
ANC delegates attending the conference in Midrand said the concept was rejected by "virtually all the commissions" for being theoretically poor.
One of 11 commissions studying policy proposals, and attended by Mr Zuma himself, concluded that "while the reasons behind reference to a second transition were understandable, the concept is inappropriate, and does not convey the movement's theorisation of the process of social transformation", according to notes seen by Business Day on Wednesday night.
The commission said the ANC should not create an "artificial separation between social and political tasks"
"The commission strongly believes that the original transition should be directed towards attainment of all Freedom Charter objectives. There can never be a second transition because the aims and objectives of the first transition as captured in the Freedom Charter have not been achieved."
The ANC is meeting in Midrand for four days, to discuss 13 policy documents ahead of its national conference in December.
The policy decisions made at the policy conference will be discussed and finalised at the national conference in Mangaung in December.
These policies will form the basis for the ANC government's policies, new laws or amended laws.

Out of This World
Last July Lisa Nowak Flew on the Space Shuttle. Now Police Say the NASA Vet Drove 900 Miles, Donned a Wig and Tried to Kidnap a Rival in a Bizarre Astronaut Love Triangle
As the world now knows, Lisa Nowak—a highly regarded astronaut who flew aboard the shuttle Discovery last summer—wasn't meeting her boyfriend but rather the woman she believed was stealing the man she loved. What happened next—a frantic and violent confrontation in the airport parking lot, the result of a bizarre love triangle—has left NASA officials, and anyone who knows Nowak, absolutely stunned. Nowak, 43, a married mother of three, was in love with Navy Cmdr. William Oefelein, 41, who trained alongside her in NASA's space shuttle program and piloted the Discovery in a mission last December. At the same time, Oefelein, the divorced father of two children, was apparently romantically involved with Colleen Shipman, 30, a U.S. Air Force captain and engineer assigned to a base near Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla.
According to police, Nowak found Shipman's flight plans on Oefelein's computer and learned that she was flying from Houston to Orlando. She packed a steel mallet, a 4-in. knife, a BB gun and large trash bags and drove more than 900 miles from her home in Houston to Orlando—while wearing a NASA-issue space diaper so she wouldn't have to stop. She confronted Shipman at the airport and sprayed her with pepper spray before police arrested her. "We're perplexed and concerned and trying to determine what really happened," said Doug Peterson, spokesman at Johnson Space Center in Houston. "Everything I've ever seen gave evidence to me that Lisa was one of our good astronauts; she had all the right background credentials, skills and abilities. We don't know what happened here."
At first prosecutors initially charged Nowak—who had been designated to be a capsule communicator for the next space shuttle flight on March 15—with attempted kidnapping but later added another charge of attempted first-degree murder; Nowak was released on $25,500 bail and allowed to go home with an electronic monitoring device around her ankle. Shipman, meanwhile, filed a restraining order against Nowak and claimed Nowak had been stalking her for two months.
How did one of NASA's very best and brightest wind up in such a desperate situation? What few people knew was that Nowak's personal life was cracking under the stress of her pressurized job. Neighbors in the affluent Houston suburb of Clear Lake—where Nowak lived with her husband, Richard, 43, a flight controller in Mission Control for the International Space Station; their son Alexander, 15; and twin 5-year-old daughters, Katrina and Alyssa—had no idea anything was wrong with the couple's 19-year marriage. "As far as I knew, everything was fine," says David Silva, who lives across from the Nowaks' two-story brick home in a cul-de-sac. "They're good people." Even Nowak's parents weren't aware her situation was so dire. "Her mother says she wishes she would have known that Lisa was so confused," says Nowak's cousin Tony Caputo, 58. "Her family doesn't know what to do. They are completely devastated by this."
But Nowak's younger sister Andrea Rose told PEOPLE that Nowak and her husband had recently separated; she also said Nowak never quite recovered from losing three former classmates in the 2003 Columbia shuttle explosion. "We knew Lisa was under a lot of stress," says Rose, 41, a lawyer. "But there's no way of knowing how a particular person will react to stress. We love Lisa and we're worried about her well-being." Nowak "is a very loving mother and a caring person," adds her brother-in-law Jonathan Rose. "She was someone who played by the rules. To say this is out of character would be a gross understatement."
It's not clear what kind of relationship Nowak had with Oefelein or what role her attraction to him played in the breakup of her marriage. (She told police she and Oefelein had "more than a working relationship but less than a romantic relationship.") In any case, Nowak apparently believed Oefelein was involved with Colleen Shipman, an Air Force engineer assigned to Patrick Air Force Base near Kennedy Space Center. Shipman, her neighbors say, was unusually warm and bubbly. "If you don't have a smile," says one neighbor, "she'll give you one of hers."
Her relationship with Oefelein, it seems, pushed Nowak over the edge. According to police, Nowak drove more than 900 miles from Houston to Orlando and finally arrived at the La Quinta Inn just outside the Orlando International Airport. Wearing glasses, a dark wig and a light-colored trench coat, she went to the airport and searched for Shipman, who got off a 1:05 a.m. flight from Houston. Nowak followed her onto a shuttle van and got off at the same spot in the parking lot. Shipman heard "running footsteps coming towards her as she was getting into her car," police later recounted. "[She] feared for her safety [and] quickly entered her vehicle."
That's when Nowak banged on the windows and tried to yank open the car doors. "Can you help me, please, my boyfriend was supposed to pick me up and he's not here," Nowak yelled at Shipman, who didn't unlock her door but who did lower her driver side window two inches once Nowak started crying. Nowak promptly shot pepper spray into Shipman's face. "That was stupid," Nowak later told police.
Shipman drove away and summoned police, who found Nowak throwing her wig and BB gun into a garbage can. More incriminating supplies were inside a black duffel bag she was carrying: the brand new steel mallet; several feet of rubber tubing; six latex gloves; large plastic trash bags and $600 in cash. Nowak insisted to police that she merely wanted to speak to Shipman and to scare her away from Oefelein. But prosecutor Amanda Cowan called Nowak's scheme "a very well-thought-out plan to kidnap and perhaps injure the victim." At the police station Nowak "kept saying, 'I can't believe this is happening to me,'" says one of the Orlando police officers who booked her. "A few times, she told us, 'I've never done anything like this before. I'm really sorry.' You could tell that she knew she had blown it, and she wanted us to know that this wasn't the type of person she normally was."
Nowak's arrest is all the more stunning because of her remarkable career. Raised in an upscale section of Rockville, Md., by Alfredo Caputo, a computer consultant, and his wife, Jane, a retired microbiologist, she fell in love with space travel when she was 5. "I remember the moon landing and watching those astronauts, and I thought that was very exciting" she said in a 2005 NASA interview. Early on, classmates could tell Nowak "was naturally gifted," says Mike Haggerty, who lived near her and graduated with her from C.W. Woodward High. "Her dream was always to be an astronaut. She wanted to walk on the moon."
Nowak majored in aerospace engineering at the Naval Academy in Annapolis and spent 10 years in the Navy, rising to the rank of captain. In 1995 she was accepted into the NASA training program. Some 3,500 candidates vie every year for 20 slots in the space shuttle program, an intense and highly stressful competition. "NASA does its best to get cool customers; it wants to weed out who's going to crack when they're in the tin can," says Brian Berger, senior staff writer for Space News, which chronicles NASA. "Astronauts tend to be the cream of the crop. All the astronauts I know are unflappable, really together people."
Nowak seemed no exception. Still, the rigors of training put a strain on her family life; while preparing for missions she often spent weeks away from her husband and children. "There's not a lot of time for [personal things] and less time for family," Nowak said in a 2005 interview. "It's a sacrifice." When NASA chose her to be one of six astronauts on a mission aboard Discovery in July 2006, Nowak's life became even more hectic. "I am lucky to have a very supportive husband," she said in an interview shortly before the shuttle flight. "For me, family is first." In fact, it was Nowak's son Alexander who helped her confront any fears she felt about going up in space only three years after the tragic explosion of the Columbia space shuttle, which killed seven astronauts, including three of Nowak's former classmates. "The day Columbia happened, [Alex] was there sitting with me, and we're watching the television, and there's people he knows that were on that flight," Nowak told Ladies Home Journal last September. "He reaches over and grabs my hand and says, 'Mom, I still want you to go.... I know they'll make it safe again, and I still want you to go.'"
Aboard Discovery, Nowak was in charge of robotic operations, supervising groundbreaking experiments with spacewalking robots. Her performance during the 13-day mission, says Johnson Space Center's Doug Peterson, "was excellent." Once back home, however, Nowak's attraction to Bill Oefelein spiraled out of control. Stephen Harrigan, an Austin-based writer who spent one year interviewing female astronauts for his novel Challenger Park, says they face unique pressures. "They are thrust together with other people in a very bonding way for many, many hours every day," says Harrigan. "The female astronaut, with a family and children, is really pushed to the wall." Still, says Harrigan, what Nowak did "is not typical or normal. But you can see how the pressure cooker of training for missions and being in that intense environment could lead a person into strange new territory."
While prosecutors sort out the charges against Nowak, NASA officials are deciding how to handle what happened. "Our primary concern is Lisa's health and well-being," said NASA's Chief of Astronauts Corps, Col. Steve Lindsey, who trained with Nowak and traveled to Orlando to be with her shortly after her arrest. "We're a close family, and we try to take care of our own." Lindsey, like everyone who knows Lisa Nowak, is facing a struggle to make some sense of the sad, strange turn her life has taken. "For someone who had the ability to do whatever she wanted, who had so much more to give to the world," says her old friend Mike Haggerty, "this is just unfathomable."

HOLLIDAYSBURG - With a crowd one police officer estimated at thousands lining the streets for an annual Halloween Parade, Hollidaysburg on Saturday didn't look like a town under bomb and water-supply threats.
Roughly 24 hours into a two-day advisory caused by a "vague threat" to the area's tap water, authorities said tests have so far shown no danger. Officials at the Altoona Water Authority hope to lift the advisory at or before tonight's evening deadline, General Manager Mark Perry said.
But on Saturday - normally one of the year's busiest days for some Hollidaysburg restaurants - the recommendation to avoid tap water left eateries across the borough closed or scrambing for alternatives.
"Our coffee's down, our espresso's down. ... We can't offer any drinks," said Kirk Saleme, owner of Allegheny Creamery and Crepes in downtown Hollidaysburg. Saleme closed his restaurant for the day.
"It's usually our second biggest day of the year," he said of the annual parade. "You get a lot of people from outside the area."
Typed notes explained sudden closures at a few cafes and restaurants. At the recently opened Allegheny Street Coffee Company, a sign read, "Closed due to contamination warning," while at The Dream Restaurant, employees' Friday night purchase of 17 soda and water bottles seemingly wasn't enough to prevent closed doors Saturday afternoon.
Fact Box
Those affected by the Hollidaysburg-area water advisory can obtain free drinking water until 8 p.m. today, or until the restriction is lifted, at the Kittanning Trail Volunteer Fire Company at 937 Edison Ave., Altoona Water Authority officials said Saturday. Customers must bring their own containers.
Directions from Hollidaysburg area: Travel north toward Altoona on Route 764. Turn left onto 58th Street. After about one mile, turn left onto Poland Avenue. Then take the first right onto Edison Avenue. The Kittanning Trail Volunteer Fire Company is on the right.
The Sheetz along Route 22 stopped serving coffee and fountain drinks for the day.
Other stores weathered the scare: At D'Ottavio Italian House on the downtown diamond, a sign read, "Bottled water inside," while managers at the Allegheny Street Cigar Company noted on Facebook, "Shop open Saturday. ... No water required."
Department of Environmental Protection tests continued Saturday afternoon, with early tests showing no cause for concern, Perry said. Workers spent Saturday flushing the system in Hollidaysburg, Freedom Township and Blair Township, he said, in preparation for the reopening of threatened reservoirs.
"None of the tests have shown any contaminant," Perry said. "I'd like to think it'll happen sooner rather than later."
The threat, sent in an email to the Altoona Mirror early Friday, included references to bombs mere days after an unfounded bomb threat drew police and firefighters from across the region to the Blair County Courthouse. The Wednesday evening bomb threat forced families from their homes and led some business owners, including Saleme, to close shop ahead of schedule.
At the crowded Halloween Parade on Saturday, police maintained a visible presence, but few people seemed concerned about the previous days' threats.
"This is probably one of the biggest crowds in a while," Hollidaysburg Police Officer Mark Lingafelt said as children in costumes waited for the parade to begin. "We've always had as many officers as possible out for this ... It's just our normal thing."
Hollidaysburg firefighters said they planned to sell sought-after bottles water to the parade crowds.
Bottled water supplies, which ran low Friday night after authorities first issued the warning, were replenished at some stores by Saturday afternoon.
"At 7 o'clock [Friday], the story broke. By 8 o'clock, our shelves were empty," said Tom DiCiurcio, manager at the Hometown Market along Church Street. Employees ordered seven more pallets soon afterward, he said.
There was far less demand for water Saturday, he said - a far cry from Friday evening, when customers at the Plank Road Walmart hurriedly filled shopping carts with cases and jugs for the coming weekend.
And with supplies limited and Hollidaysburg residents still in need of a Saturday-morning caffeine fix, a few businesses that planned ahead saw a minor rush.
"We were really busy this morning," said Shelly Endendijk, assistant manager at Donut Connection, where employees had bought water en masse and loaded it into backup coffee makers. "We were the only ones around here that had coffee."
Barring any new developments, water supplies should be restored this weekend and restaurants will be free to reopen, authorities said Saturday. A state police computer expert is set to investigate the threat emails Monday at the Mirror office.
That's good news for Gianna Saleme, 7, sitting in the empty Allegheny Creamery and Crepes dining room Saturday.
"I was very scared. I couldn't even sleep," she said of the chaotic night at the courthouse. "But my mom said they're going to arrest the person that did this."

16-minute timeout: Stanford 10, Arizona 2
Arizona makes a corner three but then helps the cause by missing a pair of free throws. Our opponents in league play are just 64 percent from the line, the best mark in the conference. Hey, finally, some luck going our way.
Chasson Randle misses an alley-oop layup, but the next possession, finds Josh Huestis for an easy dunk. Next possession, he does a great job to jump into contact and throw up a shot to get to the line. Then, after an airball Stanford three, Arizona senior Mark Lyons connects on three. Bright responds with a great, not good, but great pass after drawing three defenders, but Rosco Allen misses. Meanwhile, Josh Huestis, nearly averaging a double-double, has five rebounds already. Arizona uses their bulk – which our roster does not match – to get an easy bucket down low, but Bright responds with a three the very next possession. Bright then makes another great play on the dribble to create. He gets his guy on the ground with a great ball fake by halfcourt, dribbles to draw a crowd and then kicks out to Gage, who knocks down an open three. 20-14, Stanford. The Cardinal go zone, and are rewarded with an Arizona airball. Then Bright draws a foul at midcourt; this is easily the best we have seen him with the ball.
12-minute timeout: Stanford 20, Arizona 14
A game after putting up 19 assists to four turnovers, Stanford has five assists to nary a turnover. [Edit: Of course, we turn it over the very next possession. Jinx.] A game after shooting about 55 percent from deep, the Cardinal are 4-of-7 early. Aaron Bright has 11 on six shots.
John Gage gets backed down all too easily, but gets whistled on the play for, I don't know, taking up matter. BS whistle, but Brandon Ashley misses the free throw – Arizona is 0-of-3 from the line now. The game then slows down but a few trends emerge:
Arizona continues to collect all too many offensive rebounds (five through 12 minutes, on a pace to threaten 20), but timely close-out defense and, of course, a Josh Huestis block, limit the Wildcat scoring. The Cats have five turnovers to our one.
John Gage misses two threes. He was due, after making something like 15 of his last 20 (approximate) to lead the conference at nearly 50 percent from deep.
Even when we're not making field goals, we're getting to the line. Dwight Powell makes two free throws and Randle adds one to keep the margin comfortable.
Eight-minute timeout: Stanford 23, Arizona 16
My kingdom for a whistle that goes Stanford's way. Instead, it's a block on Powell and two Brandon Ashley free throws. The game then gets really slow, as both teams go multiple minutes without a field goal. Powell evens the score with a foul drawn on Ashley and two free throws of his own, while Nick Johnson finally knocks down a jumper for Arizona, but not until the 4:26 mark. It's a great testament to the Cardinal that they can continue to lead, visiting a top-ten team, despite the scoreless streak – and it speaks well to the Cardinal's chances of making noise over the next month or two. Still, a basket right about now would be really nice.
Four-minute timeout: Stanford 25, Arizona 20
Dwight Powell gets a pass on his, ahem, creative shot attempts the last few times, since they were intended to and did draw Arizona fouls. He gets a pass on this exercise in creativity because, heck he made the shot from six feet out, but if basketball doesn't work out, maybe the men's gymnastics team could use a contortionist.
Arizona again gets a questionable whistle on Stanford – I am not one to normally complain, but Stanford is perhaps five points behind where they would be with neutral-court refereeing – but the Wildcats again miss one of the freebies, so the bite isn't as big. Stanford is 7-of-8 and Arizona 3-of-7 from the line, and after a Mark Lyons three halves Arizona's deficit, that more than accounts for the margin. A few minutes after a Powell turnover, Arizona goes coast to coast when Josh Huestis can't clamp down on an admittedly tough pass, and after a Rosco Allen travel the subsequent possession, Arizona will have a shot at the halftime lead – in a half Stanford started ahead 10-2. But Solomon Hill's three draws iron and the Cardinal are up at halftime, at top-ten Arizona, despite 8-of-27 (29 percent) shooting. The Cardinal are a most painful 4-of-16 inside the paint. Huestis and Randle are a combined 2-of-12. Will be interesting to see if the Stanford offense of the first 10 minutes or the second 10 minutes comes out after the break. Stay tuned…

NEWS is going to pop it.
Bernie..I'm holding it and haven't sold a single shares and don't have any plan to sell for while. I'm looking for $10/share but if I feel risk of loosing my money..this time I would lessen to Tommi. But this is all about a good news and improvements in cure rate and dq. Actually! I kind of thinking to add shares but not sure yet. I need some cash available on my hand too. DON'T PANIC IF STOCK MARKET DROPS next mount if FED doesn't give market what they want (QE3). I'm expecting a big pull back which is good for Bonds market to keep the interest rats low but MTG does not have much room to go down and if does! I will double my shares. Any pull back and lower the rates are good for MGIC,RDN,GNW
Thank you Edi, just getting some feedback from you guys. Good luck.
Relax,I will hold it till end of 2013. I am looking at over $15 at the time.I would have over $2 millions at the time

Other Trees to Consider
These trees offer up unusual beauty for your holiday decorating.
Native to the desert Southwest, Cupressus arizonica is often seen at Christmas tree lots across the southern tier of states.Its dense, pyramid shape, gray to blue-green foliage, and attractive fragrance make it a popular choice.
continue reading below
With its distinctive blue color, Picea pungens stands out in a crowd. The stiff branches easily support the heaviest of ornaments. But beware: the needles are sharp and capable of a painful jab. On the plus side, the tree retains its needles well. This large-growing tree is often chosen as a live tree for planting after Christmas.

Is the Name of Trevor Helping or Hurting You?
All names are not equal. The names you use create your life experiences.
Find out how all the names you use and the energy they create have shaped your life in
free Name and Birth Date Report. Life can be better, find out how.
Your name of Trevor has created your spontaneous, friendly personality. You are an extrovert whose interest in others wins you friends and influence. Although you do lack confidence in many ways, you have an air of poise and composure that leaves the impression that you have everything under control. Many people would find it hard to believe you lack self-assurance at times. You could be particularly successful at planning and managing social events or business meetings. In your work, you would always feel more secure in an intermediary position where upper management would make the major, or hard, decisions and you would carry them out using your diplomatic skills and suave manner in handling people. You are not a high-pressure person who could initiate and promote major projects. Rather, you look for opportunities to make improvements in operations already underway. You are not interested in occupations that are tedious, monotonous, or too detailed, but prefer positions where you are dealing with the public and handling finances, or where you are teaching, or directing others.
You have expensive tastes and do like to dress well and make a good impression. You would prefer to ignore poverty and the harsh realities of life. To be successful financially builds your security. Because you know the value of money, you endeavour to handle your finances prudently. You have good business judgement and know that having friends in higher positions gives you the opportunity to meet and mix with people on a more refined, successful level. You appreciate the comfort that comes with financial success and look for opportunities for material gain by taking advantage of your personal contacts. You have an engaging personality, not temperamental, but sometimes lacking in the initiative and interest to handle all your responsibilities promptly. Monotonous tasks tend to be put off until you are forced to take action. Too much responsibility creates stress and confusion that can tend to make you indifferent to your obligations through lack of energy or the will to carry on. You do not have a robust nature and can tire easily. At such times, decision-making is an effort.
You are intuitive in discerning the thoughts and intentions of others and, as a result, can give good advice to resolve potential misunderstanding and conflict. Your understanding nature allows you to perceive the challenges facing people. Although you do have some fine qualities, you are not experiencing the fullness life has to offer through growth of mind and the emotional and financial stability that would bring you happiness.
The health weakness of this name can cause kidney trouble, or urinary tract or prostate disorders. Your enjoyment of the pleasures and comforts of life create a challenge when it comes to self-discipline. Over-eating of heavier foods could cause weight problems, and aggravate any health weaknesses.
Do You Want Something Better?
You have a unique inner potential. With your first breath, a spiritual essence and purpose became a part of you and gave you life, caused your heart to beat, and your systems to work, and activated your physical growth. Your particular date of birth determines your unique core purpose, the reason for your life, and the pathway you should follow for ultimate happiness.

SAN DIEGO - Tiger Woods won Monday at Torrey Pines after losing his focus during a slow finish by the group ahead of him in the fog-delayed Farmers Insurance Open.
Despite dropping 4 shots over the last five holes, Woods managed an even-par 72 for a 274 total and a 4-shot victory over defending champion Brandt Snedeker and Josh Teater. He won the tournament for the seventh time, one behind the record held by Sam Snead, who won the Greater Greensboro Open eight times.

Updated May 6th, 2015
I got around to checking which blog pages were getting hits, and saw that this one was suddenly popular…… gee, did the 7.9 earthquake of April 25th, 2015 have anything to do with the number of people doing research on how to come here and help?
CCNEPal is a project that taught critical care skills to nurses and doctors in Nepal since 2011. In Kathmandu Valley, 800 people had taken this training, and an additional 1,000 or so in the rest of Nepal. Amidst the tragedy there is solemn pride that CCNEPal positioned so many Nepali professionals with this training. CCNEPal didn't do anything the day of the quake. We did everything for three years prior to the quake, and the dedicated Nepali professionals put it into use.
CCNEPal has always taken pride in the Road Trips. The Road Trips are sometimes grueling but always fun. CCNEPal was on a Road Trip when the earthquake shook loose.
The original plan to leave May 30th is still in place. In the meantime, I have written many blog entries about volunteering. The immediate relief phase, looking for victims in the rubble, is over. The recovery phase, in which services are restored and "normalcy" returns, is still in progress. Nobody in Nepal will be the same, ever. The return to life will take years.
So – if you wish to volunteer, there is actually no hurry. No reason to jump on a plane unless you have specialized skills. This allows you to study, plan and prepare. Nepal is not an "easy country" for most western medical volunteers to go to, not for their first time. Read the below.
And, a shout out to NurseTeachReach. They were here and they did a great job. I have personally met with and collaborated with Lucy Rowe and she represents the best in the new generation of western global health nurses.
The pre-earthquake version that was on the site as of April 5th, 2015
As I write this I am preparing a trip to the Terai for five or six weeks, going from place to place and not returning to Kathmandu Valley in between. I expect to conduct twelve sessions of my course, for hundreds of nurses and doctors, in various cities. When I return I will get on the plane. I will take the summer to work on my daughter's house, then in fall I will return to University teaching in USA. I will not be back in Nepal until May 2016 at the earliest.
I formerly titled this "volunteer in Nepal for 2015" but let's face it: my specific project is built around the idea that Nepali nurses can teach themselves with a little nudge, and I just don't have a need for other people to join me. And it's too late for CCNEPal anyway.
There ought to be a way to use your skills.
Somehow, there ought to be an easier way for highly-skilled acute care nurses to volunteer their skills here in a meaningful way. I hear about nurses who came here to learn about health care in a Low Income Country, and who mainly used their time to hand out toothbrushes in villages while on a trek. On the one hand, it's okay, because they are still learning the way that people live and hopefully having a positive experience that whets their curiosity. On the other hand, the acute care system of Nepal is undergoing tremendous change right now and expertise is needed.
If you are interested in doing what I do, working in acute care hospitals, and not paying some huge fee to a travel agency that will send you trekking-with-toothbrushes, there is a group you should check out: Nurse-Teach-Reach. They are based in Sydney, Australia. They make a number of trip here each year. This group brings nurses to work in ICU, ER, and oncology nursing. The leader, Lucy Rowe, is a nurse.
If you think this might be you, contact them.

Hey, that's actually a pretty good team concept Dal. While it does have the 3x electric weakness and no resists, not many pokes are both very strong and have good electric STAB, none of which are not legendary. You also don't double up on ANY other weakness, which is practically unheard of these days.. Even I've never had a team like that. Even if it's only 5 pokes, props to you.
On an offensive perspective, your team seems balanced. While Pidgeot, Primeape, and Blastoise aren't extraordinarily strong, Mewtwo and Articuno make up for it. Pidgeot and Primeape are deadweight unless they score super effective hits IMO, though. Anyways, Ice is a very strong attacking type, and while Articuno isn't all that strong offensively, not much does resist Ice. And what does, is pummeled by the rest of your team. Shame Articuno is only good for support, and can't set up a sweep.
You also have a 3-2 balance for physical and special attackers, which is always a good thing. Special attacks are always the best possible things to employ if you have a special wall counter, which Primeape can ably handle most likely. Unfortunatly, special walls with odd types(psychic, steel, etc.)can stall your team very easily, which can be a huge problem. Also on that note, while your pokemon's STAB moves often are hard to resist, if they are you can run out of options quick. Most pokes on your team don't vary too much in offensive move types. This can really ruin you if you ever face a defensive team.
On a defensive perspective, the 3 x weakness to Electric truly is a nuisance, but as long as the enemy doesn't have a sweeper that sets up with electric moves and STAB on those moves(like Raikou, which would literally dominate your team), you'll be fine since you don't boast any double weaknesses. This lets you switch in very freely, usually without too much to fret over. Articuno and Blastoise are also pretty bulky, specifically Articuno. Very sad they're both weak to Electric.. You need to be wary of electric moves, definatly.
On a speed perspective, Primeape, Pidgeot, and Mewtwo are all quite fast, specifically Mewtwo. While there are faster pokes, you aren't slouching in speed, which is a good thing to cover. Again, as long as electric types don't try to sweep, you should have the speed to hopefully stop them.
Overall, note a bad team. But I wouldn't say it's that good either. But hey, that's what you'd expect from an ingame team. You've still got my respect for not having any 2+ weaknesses to anything but electric, which is often a rare move type anyways for sweepers.

20 October 2009
Born and raised in the beautiful city of Genoa (Genova) in 1971, is a free lance communication/PR professional and journalist. He currently lives in the sad city of Milan, where he moved in June 2008.
Despite being Calvin Booth-ugly, he somehow managed to marry a beautiful serbian girl, Vanja, brave enough to be still his wife.
He's of slavic descent from his mother's side of the family, meaning his blood is 50% italian, 25% serbian and 25% croatian: thus he speaks a half-decent serbocroatian and follows carefully players coming from these countries.
An addict of Genoa football team, Ricky became a Sixers fan in the early Eighties, when italian television started broadcasting NBA games, once a week, Sunday morning…. Immediately loved those red jerseys, and the player wearing that #6 who could take off and fly over the others. Never stopped since.
Ricky loves everything that is 'old school Sixers' (logo, jerseys etc) and considers Manute Bol the greatest Sixer ever.
For yet-to-be-disclosed reasons, he has also a long time passion for the LA Clippers. Seriously.
Oh yes, and he played "organized" basketball for more than 20 years, as an all around stiff. Imagine a combo of Marc Jackson's leaping ability, Keith Van Horn's toughness, Dalembert's basketball IQ and Nazr Mohammed's hands.
Enjoy the pic, and TRY to detect the Photoshop addition.
(not sure why I used "he" instead of "I" for this post, but anyway... I pulled a Moses Malone...).
