Fuller served as District Two Commissioner for eight years, up until 2000. He said his previous experience as commissioner gives him an understanding of what it takes to be a representative for the people of Asotin County. He said family is something that motivated him to re-enter politics.
"I want it so that our kids don't have to go somewhere else to get a job," said Fuller. "I feel strongly about that. We have a great community and I want to keep it strong."
Fuller said communication between constituents and elected officials is essentially non-existent and he wants to change that. He wants to be the voice of the people when it comes to divisive issues.

The angular momentum HO (also called moment of momentum) is the moment about any point O of the linear momentum vector L. In Fig. 7-1, O can be any point, fixed or moving. Thus,
Fig. 7-1 Vectors used to define angular momentum HO.
where ρ = radius vector of particle P relative to O
v = absolute velocity of P (tangent to path)
The sum of the moments about a fixed point O of the external forces acting on a particle is equal to the time rate of change of the angular momentum HO; that is,
From Eq. (7), where r is the radius vector in a newtonian frame of particle m and v = absolute velocity of the particle. Taking the time derivative,
Since , , and , we obtain .
Equation (8) may be integrated as follows:
The integral on the left is the angular impulse acting throughout the time interval t1 to t2, and the right-hand side of Eq. (9) is the change that occurs in angular momentum during this time interval.
Equation (8) can be applied as follows to an assemblage of particles. The sum of the moments about point O of the external forces acting on an assemblage of n particles is equal to the time rate of change of the angular momentum HO about this point O, only if (a) point O is at rest, or (b) the mass center of the n particles is at rest, or (c) the velocities of O and the mass center are parallel (certainly true if O is the mass center). See Problem 7.1, which proves Eq. (8) holds for an assemblage of particles.

Finished We Love Katamari last night. I really enjoyed
playing it, and I honestly disagree with anyone who says its more of
the same. Granted, the same basic principle of "grab things with
katamari, it gets bigger" is still there but that's like
complaining about the newest GTA having more guns and
driving, or that some new RPG uses experience points and swords. If
the sequel was different then it just wouldn't be Katamari,
would it?
This game is different because they give you different mission goals. It expands upon the Zodiac side-missions from the first game, where you had to roll up X amount of a particular object. And it's good that they did, since each mission presents a new challenge, and with it, a new gameplay experience.
My favorite has been the most-often-talked-about one, the sumo wrestler. You need to get him big enough to take out an opponent. There are two ways to win - by knocking the opponent out of the ring, or by rolling the opponent up, katamari style. I've done decently well at this board, but there is pleasure in simply rolling this guy around, grabbing foods and watching him get bigger and bigger. I especially like absorbing children and adults, though I don't really know if those add to the weight or are just there for subversive entertainment.
I also like the candy and flower boards, if only because I find them quick and dirty. The crane board is also spiffy, even if I haven't mastered it.
My least favorite board is the infamous "campfire" scenario, where you have to light a fire with a flaming katamari. This should have been cool, but it's also ridiculously hard. I find the board ill-suited to keeping the damn thing lit, with appropriate-sized objects placed in groups that are annoyingly far apart from each other.
Now, I finished the game last night. There was the last mega-board where you rolled up houses and islands and clouds and so forth, which I managed on the second try. Then they prod you toward the cosmos board, which isn't hard, you just have to have done all the previous boards to decent-enough completion/size. You roll up all the planets and stars you created, and then roll up the sun. You can also roll up stardust, and because I wanted to get as much as possible but found rolling up stardust that I can't even see so frightfully boring, I ended up putting rubber bands on my controller to push the katamari while I went to the bathroom.
The ending is annoying, I can't quite get past the credits sequence, so I guess I'll have to beat the game again to try again. Yes, there's something to do during the credits, and it's harder than the rolling-up-countries from the first one.
Though I enjoyed my experience, I have to say I was also disappointed in the game. Not for a perceived lack of innovation or even fun, but in the manner of the whole thing feeling like it was put together in a rush. I don't appreciate being made to play the same board over and over again. I especially don't like being insulted even when I complete the objective in time, and hate being told it's not good enough. Even when I've say, made the katamari three times the requested size. Or hit 80% or 90% of the objects. I don't like how you can't really fail some boards, so instead they insult you for giving them too little.
Another big problem is the bugs. I've only noticed one personally, though I saw another mentioned on GameFAQs. The glitch I had was in the tutorial, in all places. My friend was playing it, and he snatched up cousin Ace (an action that should end the board) before completing all the tutorial commands (like Prince Look, or Katamari Dash). The board didn't end then, nor did it end when he completed the commands remaining. We couldn't exit the board using the "start" button, and so had to reset the game.
I'm also wondering if it's bad programming that the king acts all surprised whenever you catch a cousin you're already caught before. I mean, that shouldn't happen, right?
I also have to agree that the music isn't so good. Oh, there's some nice pieces on the soundtrack, but the majority of them are not ones you hear while playing the boards. "Kuru Kuru Rock" has got to be one of the worst songs I have ever been forced to endure.
Overall, I'm glad Keita Takahashi came back to work on the sequel, because otherwise it could have outright sucked, instead of just being mildly disappointing but enjoyable.)
(Like the season premiere of Lost - hah!)

Finished We Love Katamari last night. I really enjoyed
playing it, and I honestly disagree with anyone who says its more of
the same. Granted, the same basic principle of "grab things with
katamari, it gets bigger" is still there but that's like
complaining about the newest GTA having more guns and
driving, or that some new RPG uses experience points and swords. If
the sequel was different then it just wouldn't be Katamari,
would it?

DisappointingPosted: Oct 03, 2005 12:00AM PST by lampbane
I thought I said that.
Lost was sadly predictable. I was more interested in Michael, Sawyer, and Jin on the raft anyway.
I also think they're splitting the focus too much now. There's what, three separate stories to tell right now?
NICE Blog on Katamari.Posted: Oct 04, 2005 12:00AM PST by Tomkat5
My kid and I play the original all the time and we'll probably pick up this one as well. Did they keep the 2 player VS mode? By the way, LOST frustrates the hell out of me. I hope they go a little easier on the flashbacks this season and advance the frickin storyline.The biggest mystery of course: Why isnt Hurley losing weight?(I think he must be a cannibal or have a secret chocolate stash.)
Lost in the KatamariPosted: Oct 06, 2005 12:00AM PST by Zoogicub
Lost's premiere was excellent, if a bit predictable in it's "OH MY GOD" final moment. This week's moments for me came from just before the ending involving a new cast member and, oddly enough, a snippet out of the "scenes from next week" tag.
As for Katamari 2, I haven't experienced everything you wrote about yet (thanks for the SPOILER warning! :P ), but I agree that the music in-game isn't as good as the exposition scenes, outside of one tune sung by the vocalist from the final credits stage on the original. I call him the Tom Jones of Japan, whoever he is.

Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 Provides New Features
The second beta of Firefox 3.1 has arrived with a new JavaScript engine, data security mode and web worker threads.
Mozilla Foundation just released the second preview of its upcoming Firefox 3.1, code named Shiretoko (Japanese for "end of the earth"). It serves primarily for testing the newly introduced features and enhancements.
With its new Private Browsing mode (lovingly called Porn Mode by some), Firefox no longer stores your browser history so that you can remove all traces of your surfing. You can also do a more targeted cleanup of your cookies, for example, by removing the last hour's worth or over a particular timeframe.
The Firefox beta also provides a quicker processing of JavaScript code through the TraceMonkey engine already introduced in October. Same goes for the Gecko layout engine, now available in version 1.9.1. Its faster rendering time is partially due to its use of speculative parsing.
Web worker threads are also supported for the first time. Still part of a yet-to-be-released specification, web worker threads allow the browser to do computation-intensive work in the background while better using multikernel processors.
Negative user feedback to the prerelease ended up striking tab-switching and preview mode from the feature list for good. To make up for it, the Shiretoko beta supports the video and audio tags of the new HTML5, a W3C Geolocation API, JavaScript query selectors, CSS2.1 and CSS3, SVG transformations and offline applications. An extra sweet is that the new version promises 54 languages.
An initial quick test of this magazine's showed the Firefox beta to be truly faster, especially with JavaScript-heavy pages. The Acid3 test proved a bit less successful, with just a few points shy of 100. (The new Opera has meanwhile shown a perfect score.)
The Mozilla team asks users to give the beta a comprehensive look-see, while staying clear of suggesting putting the release into production. Interested parties can follow along the progress at the Firefox 3.1 Planning Center (including how to pronounce the word "Shiretoko").

Staff reporter
BNP senior leader Lt Gen Mahbubur Rahman on Tuesday said their ongoing non-violent anti-government movement will get a new dimension after the upcoming Eid-ul-Azha.
"I think a new dimension will be added to our movement after Eid-ul-Azha. We're preparing for it, but our movement will be non-violent one," he said.
Mahbub, also a BNP standing committee member, came up with the remarks while talking to reporters after placing wreaths together with leaders and activists and Jatiyatabadi Muktijoddha Dal at BNP founder Ziaur Rahman's grave, marking its founding anniversary.
He said BNP alongside reorganizing their party and its associate bodies is going on for a peaceful movement to force the government to hold a fresh election under a non-party administration and register its protest against the government's misdeeds and anti-people decision.
"We've observed a protest program against the national broadcast policy and our programs against the move to re-empower parliament to impeach judges are also going on," the BNP leader said.
Claiming that the present parliament is unrepresentative and dysfunctional, he said the current MPs are fake as 154 of them were elected uncontested in a farcical election.
"The demand of the country's freedom fighters is a fresh and acceptable election soon dissolving this parliament," Mahbub added.
He said the main spirit of the Liberation War was that the country would be run through a democratic process, but now democracy is at stake. "We're also in a dreadful condition as the government is trying to re-establish one-party Baksal rule annihilating democracy."
The BNP leader also called upon his party leaders and activists to spontaneously take to the streets to restore democracy in the country.

Good day everyone.

WoW Patch Day 4.0
Posted by Kaelten Oct 13, 2010 at 15:14 UTC
As everyone knows by now Wow's 4.0 patch hit the US yesterday, and now the EU servers are up as well.
I just wanted to remind everyone that the new TOC # is 40000, and that to get a new update out to the majority of your users with this you'll need to flag a new file as a Release build.
We're seeming to be pretty stable overall, which is great given how much has changed in the hosting situation in the last few weeks.
If you do have any issues please do make sure to report them, as this is probably one of the most stressful weeks we'll have on the whole network for sometime.
Hope everyone has a great rest of the patch day and enjoys the new 4.0 systems and content!
(I'm posting this on sc2mapster as well since it could affect the performance/stability for you guys as well)
If you are looking to update an abandoned or inactive project, please read CurseForge/WowAce Policy on Inactive and Abandoned Projects first.

Hey Guys,
I know that I stopped updating a few days ago when things started slowing down, so I wanted to officially say that the transition is done and that all services are online in our new datacenter and running on the new hardware.
At this point there may be a few known issues here and there, and of course there's always more to do. But if you're experiencing anything please make a ticket, and we'll get to it as soon as we can. If you're having some more urgent issue please feel free to PM me directly.
Thanks for the understanding as we've been transitioning everything and stabilizing things. Enjoy the shiny new hardware!

**im not against circ but I think u missed your chance!
Talk to your pediatrician. There's no reason you can't have it done now, it's just easier when they're newborn. I'm not sure what the procedure would entail now, since a four month old is so active.
A friend of mine was circumcised as an adult and told me he was getting all his sons done as babies, because no one should have to go through that! (He met a nice Jewish girl and converted.)

At this stage they will most likely make you wait until he's a year old so he can undergo general anesthesia.

The Oldham County High School cross-country team does a variety of workouts to prepare for the upcoming season.
Following Oldham County volleyball's straight set loss to Providence (Ind.), Colonel head coach Vince McDonough asked his players if they wanted to continue to play Providence, annually one of the best teams in the state of Indiana. The Lady Colonels answered his question with a resounding "yes."
After defeating Anderson County 31-14 in its season opener, South Oldham hit the road and picked up their second win of the year against Doss last Friday.
In their second game of the year, Oldham County boys soccer went away from the way they want to play and fell to Kentucky Country Day 2-1.
The conditions couldn't have been much worse on a hot and humid Saturday morning for the annual St. Xavier's Tiger Run at Louisville Champions Park, but two South Oldham runners finished in the top 10 of the girls 5k race that had over 200 contestants.
It's said anything can happen in a rivalry game, and it did on Friday night as Oldham County made history with its first win over North Oldham in series history. The Colonels scored two touchdowns in the first half and held off a rally by the Mustangs for a 14-6 win, seemingly an upset for a team that went 1-9 and fell to North Oldham 45-6 last season.
What is the most important thing we can give to our children?
Law enforcement officers from 17 agencies across the commonwealth were recognized for completing the Kentucky Department of Criminal Justice Training's Academy of Police Supervision, including Raymond J. Whitehill of the La Grange Police Department.

All of these patch 7.0 Ret Paladin Macros have been tested and are currently working for patch 7.0. If you have any questions or suggestions on the Macros please let me know.
Note: These are just your basic Macros. For more advanced ones
Click Here For an Addon With Premade 7.0 Macros
(video tutorial for all the macros at the bottom)
Hand of Freedom Mouseover Macro
/cast [@mouseover,help] [help,nodead] [@targettarget,help,nodead] [@player] Hand of Freedom
How it Works – Casts Hand of Freedom on your single target if you have no mouseover. Otherwise Hand of Freedom will always be cast on your mouseover.
Mouseover, Single Target Focus Macro
/focus [@focus,exists] none; [@mouseover,exists][]
How it Works – Makes your current mouseover your "focus target". Single targets don't need to be over your mouseover. Switch focus targets by simply mousing over them and clicking the macro.
Rebuke Focus Macro
/cast [target=focus,exists,nodead] Rebuke; Rebuke
How it Works – Casts Rebuke on your single target if you have no focus target. Otherwise Rebuke will always be cast on your focused target.
Avenging Wrath Stopcasting Macro
/cast Avenging Wrath
How it Works – Automatically stops the casting of your current spell and casts Avenging Wrath in one click. (Even if the spell is down the stopcasting will still work)
Flash of Light, Exorcism Modifier Macro
/cast [mod:alt]Flash of Light; Exorcism
How it Works – Click your normal keybinding and you will cast Exorcism. Hold "alt" and click your keybind to cast Flash of Light. ("shift" and "ctrl" can be substituted for alt if they fit your playstyle better)
Important Update (Please Read): Hey guys, I've been receiving many emails asking for custom macros. I don't mind at all, but just be aware it usually takes about a week to get back to people. In the meantime, I suggest checking out the addon I use called "Impulse" (I show it for a bit at the begging of the video). They have a lot of custom macros and keybindings built in, so you can pretty much swap out the spell and find what you're looking for. The addon does cost money, but it's worth it IMO. I've been using it for 3 or 4 years now and it saves time, but just like every other WoW addon ever made it's not required to have, only a timesaver and a helpful tool that streamlines gameplay more. Hey, it beats googling for macros and scouring the forums for class tips from so called "pros".

Originally signed to Chris Parry's Fiction Records, the group released Disco Rigido in 1988.[1]
A second album, Big Electric Metal Bass Face, was released in 1991.[1] Contributors to the band at the time included Chris Vrenna and James Woolley (both members of Nine Inch Nails during the mid-1990s), and audio visual artist Burle Avant, who went on to co-create the MTV television series Amp.
Engine, a 1995 release[1] on Fiction/Wax Trax! and distributed by TVT, was the last album the group released before going on hiatus for almost a decade, and included contributions from Chris Randall of the band Sister Machine Gun (SMG). One of the songs written by Die Warzau during this time, "Hole In the Ground," ended up on the SMG album Burn.
Die Warzau as a group then went on hiatus for a number of years, with Marcus and Christie working on other projects. Jim Marcus founded the pure funk group Everplastic while Van Christie worked on another project called Eco-Hed.
In 2005, the duo re-united, together with new members Abel Garibaldi and Dan Evans, releasing Convenience on their Chicago-based label Pulseblack Records.[1]
2008 saw the release of Vinyl 88, a collection of remixes and previously unreleased tracks including "Born Again" (for which a video was released) and "Hitler's Brain", a collaboration with funk pioneer George Clinton. While some of the tracks had seen prior release, many of the remixes featured re-recorded elements.
In 2009, Die Warzau made several songs – many from the recent Convenience and Vinyl 88 releases – available for remixing at RemixGalaxy.com The different musical elements (vocals, drums, bass, etc.) of each song are available as separate tracks, which allows users the opportunity to create their own versions of the songs or incorporate the parts into their own original tracks under personal, non-commercial license.
In 2011, Die Warzau announced on their Facebook page that their performance at the WTII Minifest 2 on June 12 would be the band's last performance before breaking up. The live personnel included Jim Marcus, Dan Evans, Vince McAley, and Jay Ramirez.
In 2013, the band announced that they will reunite to play one show at the "Cold Waves II" festival held in Chicago in late September 2013.

JERUSALEM, Israel - Labor MK (member of Knesset) Ofer Pines-Paz said Defense Minister and Labor party chairman Ehud Barak's deal with Kadima "lacked vision."
"It is nothing but a survival pact, lacking vision, guidelines and a work plan," Pines-Paz said.
"Most of Labor's essential demands were rejected or barely answered," he said. "We surrendered everything except for [freezing] college tuition."
Pines-Paz also called the defense minister's new title - senior deputy prime minister - "pathetic" as Transportation Minister Shaul Mofaz, who nearly beat Livni in party primaries - would be named vice premier, which by law is the most senior position.
"Instead of opening a new page and forming a new government with a relevant agenda, the [Kadima, Labor] deal promises that what was, will be and only the name of the prime minister will be different," he said.
Meanwhile, Likud party faction chairman Gideon Sa'ar said Barak continued his pattern of "zig-zagging."
"Labor once again proved that it is a party that would join any government under any circumstances or conditions and that the only thing that is holy to them are their seats in the Cabinet," Sa'ar said.

25 start-ups to make OnRamp Wisconsin pitches at Lambeau
An effort to help start-ups score with established companies has found the perfect venue — Lambeau Field.
Twenty-five selected start-ups will make 20-minute pitches to bigger companies on Friday at the Green Bay Packers' home field as part of OnRamp Wisconsin, an event designed to help the young companies find potential sales channels and make it easier for the more established companies to interact with the entrepreneurial community.
"These start-ups bring a fresh perspective to problems large enterprises face, so there's value in these conversations from both sides of the table," said Dan Reed, director of business development at American Family Insurance.
American Family, Assurant Health, Harley-Davidson and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel have all agreed to either mentor or purchase from one of the start-ups they meet. There is no cost to selected start-ups to participate in the event.
This will be the second OnRamp Wisconsin. The first was held in December at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel headquarters. The event is organized by gener8tor, a start-up accelerator that operates in Milwaukee and Madison, and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, in collaboration with Angels on the Water, a Fox Valley investing group.

Sale Of Great Wolf Gives Apollo Opportunity To Make A Splash
Wednesday May 23rd, 2012 - 11:48AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
As of press time, Apollo Global Management had entered into an agreement to acquire waterpark resort owner/operator Great Wolf Resorts for approximately $703 million, including the assumption of debt, or $7.85 per share in cash, ending a public bidding war for the company. The publicly traded firm had originally accepted a bid from Apollo a month earlier until shareholders felt the price was under market value. When the bidding was opened back up, KSL Capital Partners became a serious suitor, making a pair of bids before ultimately bowing out.
These days, there is much debate within the industry about the value of a brand—particularly given the increasing role of online travel agencies or third-party intermediary sites. In the case of Great Wolf Lodge, the value is very clear, at least to the consumer. And while it may not have hundreds of properties and its brand reechoingtion may not be as widespread as Hilton or Marriott, ask just about anyone with kids about Great Wolf Lodge and chances are they can tell you about it. Despite having a mere 11 properties open and operating, Great Wolf is one of the most successful brands in the lodging industry today. During a peariod when brands have been commoditized largely by the price erosion that has taken place over the last several years, Great Wolf is truly an "experiential" brand. And I speak from "experience" when I say it's not uncommon for a family to drop several hun- dred dollars in a weekend. But ask my kids and they will tell you it was worth every penny (after all, it's not their money) and therefore, like many, we will go back.
As such, it makes perfect sense that companies like Apollo, KSL and a number of others, would be interested in acquiring the company.So,you ask, what's the rub? Just a small detail like turning a profit or more accurately, not doing so. The company hasn't made money since 2004 and it lost $25 million in 2011 despite increased revenue. I don't have access to the books, so I'm not sure exactly what the issue is, but obviously, there are many operational challenges with a waterpark property
and such costs are clearly prohibitive—and that's not to mention liability issues. That's the bad news.The good news is the stock has rallied considerably in the wake of the bidding war and stands at $5.32 of press time, which marks a
52-week high and is more than twice the 52-week low.
The real question is ultimately what can private equity firm Apollo do differently to extract more profitability? Will it look to close the doors on some of the weaker performing properties? Will it look to open more properties nationwide and achieve greater economies of scale? Will it look to alter the food & beverage part of the operation, which most likely is a drain on profits but contributes to guest satisfaction.
But maybe, at the end of the day, it doesn't have to do much. Guest demand continues to rise throughout the U.S., particularly on the leisure end, and maybe something as simple as raising rates can be a solution. In any event, it will be interesting to
see what changes are made to Great Wolf and if Apollo can keep it from going un- derwater,so to speak.

5 ways to break barriers to successfully implementing payment reform
Bundled payment and payment reform in general are hot topics in healthcare circles, and will prove to be a challenge for many. Jay Sultan, thought leader for payment reform at TriZetto, a healthcare management solutions company, shared with Healthcare Finance News five key ideas for hospital leaders to consider in order to break barriers to successfully implement payment reform at their organizations.
[Also: Payment reform critical to healthcare IT efforts]
1. Make a real commitment. Sultan said the most important aspect of implementing payment bundling successfully is getting started by "making the right level of commitment to it."
"I think the key is to understand that these changes are coming no matter what and you can be intentional about getting this under way and be a 'winner,' or pay a penalty for 'losing," said Sultan. "One key point I can make is that you don't have an option here. The industry is going to go there and you don't have a choice. Call it commitment, dedication to full-time implementation, however you want to characterize it, I think being real about it and making the right decisions with it are important."
Sultan added that all employees need to understand that changes that will be happening and that a lot of communication is key. "You just can't communicate enough. And this can't be done without high-level direction. Not just approval, but support and active participation. Be real about it and put in adequate resources," he said.
[Also: Payment reform initiatives must get creative, experts say]
2. Focus on what you're going to fix before you write a contract. "It's easier to contract for risk than manage risk. And many people don't understand what it means that you need to manage risk. What I tell hospitals is if you first contract for bundles and then manage them, you won't be successful," said Sultan.
Sultan said hospital executives should understand where there might be "unwarranted variations in care," whether it's in a particular care process or somewhere else in the organization. "The variations are almost always a pointer for something that can be done better. Find those variations," he said.
Examples of these variations include high readmissions rates or high lengths of stay that tend to be scattered in type. Once the variations are identified, figure out how to solve the problem at hand. "Maybe partner with surgeons about the problem. Partner with whoever is involved. Now that you know what's broken, you can begin to fix it and figure out who to work with in order to fix it," he said.
Lastly, figure out a dollar amount for how much can be saved once the problem is solved. "How much can I contract for and what is the best deal I can get?" Sultan said. "Always remember that payment reform is not magic pixie dust and won't fix the problems without change."
3. Take on the responsibility of a payer. "When hospitals accept risk, they are taking on this responsibility that payers have. How am I going to manage utilization? How do I keep people from doing things I don't want them to do?" said Sultan. "It's about population health management, communication to patients, sending patients to the right places." Sultan added that figuring out the right solutions for healthcare providers will allow executives to solve the payment problems as well.
4. You have to be able to measure what you are doing. "Quality and cost accounting are major problems," said Sultan. "On the quality side, it's important that we get robust measures of quality, and we are not rationing care when it comes to the patient."
Sultan said it's important to come up with "really good functional measures," in order to make sure patients are really where they should be at all times. "If you can't measure it, you can't fix it," he said. "You have to rethink and invest in how you're measuring patient levels."
5. Get started now. "When I talk to a lot of provider organizations, they tell me that they can't get payers to contract with them. The number one complaint I hear from payers is that hospitals are never ready to contract with them, saying that the hospitals say they are ready for payment reform but not all of the actual work is done. The payers then don't want to contract with them," said Sultan.
He added that it's important for hospitals to engage with payers and form some sort of partnership. "The idea is that it's going to take more than a grudging willingness to get this all started. There's a tremendous 'first mover' advantage for hospitals here. Gain the knowledge you need and find doctors in your organization that are committed to this," he said. "Let payers know the cost of care and where it often varies."

Cloud does actually stand a chance on being on brawl (Featured on Chain of Memories) but the odds are astoundingly low.
If Geno is too old school, what about Pit?
Seriously, I think Square would donate Geno before Cloud... My opinion, though.
Not such a large year gap between FFVII and Super Mario RPG, either.
SMRPG: March 9, 1996
FFVII: January 31, 1997
See? Less than a year.
You're right
Snake- Adult Gaming
Sonic-Old School Gamers
Sora- Teen and Kids
also Brawl has two people from KH working on brawl
Tetsuya Nomura and Yuka Shinomura. On the other hand though Nomura has recently helped Nintendo with Galaxy aswell as Brawl so I think Geno is on it.
Trying to find patterns in things Sakurai does is a lot like trying to find fire at the bottom of the ocean.
Guys, really, both Sora and Geno deserve to be in Brawl. Sora is a highly requested and popular video game character, and Geno is and old-school favorite that appeared in Mario's first RPG. They're both deserve a spot so stop the debate. They both would have a good moveset, they've both been on a Nintendo consol, they both would be awesome characters, and they're both from RPGs, so why should one be in but the other not?

Wake Forest comes in averaging 70.8 points per game while giving up 69.5. The Demon Deacons do a good job on the boards pulling down 37 per game and also do a good job of limiting turnovers averaging only 12 per game. Sophomore guard Codi Miller-McIntyre leads Wake with 14.4 points and 4 assists per game. Sophomore forward Devin Thomas is a double-double threat with four on the season. He has ten games with eight rebounds or more and four games with thirteen or more on the season. Thomas averages 11.4 points and 8 rebounds per game. Senior forward Travis McKie rounds out the double digit scorers for Wake with 10.8 points per game.
Florida State is led by the trio of Aaron Thomas, Ian Miller, and Okaro White. These three will have to have big games if the Seminoles want to pull out this victory. The Seminoles have a distinct size advantage, but have had trouble rebounding, especially defensively, this season. Boris Bojanovsky and Michael Ojo will be depended on to protect the paint this game as Wake only shoots .320 from the three point line and will look to score inside more often.
Both of these teams have really struggled down the stretch. Both teams need this win to get back on track especially Florida State who plays North Carolina on Monday. The Seminoles have the bigger and more athletic team, but that hasn't translated to wins this season. This will be an extremely close game, but being at home will help out Wake greatly. Florida State forward Okaro White has trouble staying in the game when the Seminoles are on the road. He has fouled out of four of the eight true away games Florida State has played in and averages 3.9 fouls per away game. If White can't stay in the game Florida State will have a tough time getting rebounds. Wake pulls out a close one 68-67 and the Seminoles slide will continue.
