Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alyokhina and Yekaterina Samutsevich of punk band Pussy Riot sit in a glass-walled cage during a court hearing in Moscow on August 17.
MOSCOW -- A Russian court ruled Thursday that video footage of the Pussy Riot punk group protesting against President Vladimir Putin in a church was "extremist" and should be removed from websites.
The demonstration last February offended many Russian Orthodox Christians. But Putin has been criticized by U.S. and European leaders over what they saw as disproportionate jail sentences imposed on three Pussy Riot members.
Their trial was also seen by Putin's critics as part of a clampdown on dissent.
'Mass disorder'
The Moscow court said it had based its ruling on conclusions by a panel of experts who studied the video, showing band members in colorful mini-skirts and ski masks dancing in front of the altar of Moscow's main Russian Orthodox cathedral.
Members of the band Pussy Riot, arrested in February after storming a Moscow cathedral, were sentenced to two years in jail Friday. Critics say the arrest was Putin's personal revenge, raising questions about justice in Russia. NBC's Duncan Golestani reports.
Judge Marina Musimovich said the footage "has elements of extremism; in particular there are words and actions which humiliate various social groups based on their religion." She said it also had calls for mutiny and "mass disorder."
The verdict said that free distribution of the video could ignite racial and religious hatred.
The court's ruling applies to other videos released by the band, including a performance in Moscow's Red Square, where calls for mass disorder could be heard. Such calls were not made inside the church.
The websites are now likely to be included in a state register and could be blocked if the banned content is not removed.
Protesters put head covers on sculptures in Norway to show their continued support of the jailed Russian punk rock group called "Pussy Riot." NBCNews.com's Dara Brown reports.
The Russian communications regulator Roskomnadzor said that once the court decision takes effect it will monitor how it is implemented.
Russian female punk rock protester moved to solo cell after tensions
Three members of Pussy Riot convicted in August of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred for their "punk prayer," which the Russian Orthodox Church has cast as part of a concerted attack on the church and the faithful.
The women said the protest, in which they burst into Christ the Savior Cathedral and called on the Virgin Mary to rid Russia of Putin, was not motivated by hatred and was meant to mock the church leadership's support for the longtime leader.
Russian whistleblower dies in strange circumstances
Band members Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina are serving two-year jail sentences over the protest last February. A third member, Yekaterina Samutsevich, walked free last month when her sentence was suspended on appeal.
"To me this is a clear attribute of censorship -- censorship of art and censorship of culture, of the protest culture which is very important for any country, let alone for Russia," Samutsevich told reporters outside court.
Three female punk rockers are put on trial in Russia after taking over the pulpit at an Orthodox cathedral and performing a controversial song criticizing President Putin. NBCNews.com's Dara Brown reports.
"Now of course the fact that they will be blocking all Pussy Riot videos as I understand, all photos -- this is horrible. Naturally, I will lodge an appeal and I will try to do it today," she added.
Freed Russian scientist: 'Nothing has changed'
Putin, a former KGB officer who has cultivated close ties with the Orthodox church over 13 years in power, has rebuffed Western criticism about the prison terms meted out.

Easy Ways to Avoid Credit Card Scams
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- A bank scam the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency warned about on Friday illustrates how scary it can be out there, but consumers can easily avoid this type of trap by doing a little homework.
The OCC -- the primary regulatory for nationally chartered commercial banks -- on Friday said "an entity entitled Freedom Gold Club is claiming to be associated with a national bank named Freedom 1st National Bank. Freedom 1st National Bank is not authorized by the OCC pursuant to federal law to conduct business as a national bank."
According to the regulator, "Freedom 1st National Bank is a fictitious entity used as part of a scheme that involves soliciting consumers for semi-secured credit cards through the U.S. mail."
The fake bank targets consumers through direct mail offers of semi-secured credit cards, with customers required to make deposits of $500 to $900.
The fake bank claimed to be affiliated with a real bank, Credit One Bank, N.A., of Las Vegas, which legitimately offers credit cards and is regulated by the OCC.
But new customers signing agreements and sending deposits to "Freedom 1st National Bank," have had a less-than-satisfactory customer service experience.
The deposits have disappeared. "The checks are cashed by an individual using the name of Bradford C. Ege II, and the victims never receive the anticipated credit card," according to the OCC said.
Various Ways to Avoid Being Victimized
Yes, you've been warned. But has everyone you know been adequately warned? It's pretty simple -- don't respond to any offer over the phone or in the mail, for any service of any kind, unless you really know who you're dealing with.
Yes, one can get a bit cynical. After all, if a stranger approaches you or calls you, it is generally because they want you to give them money. And if a stranger approaches you or calls you offering to give you money, it is too good to be true. Period.
Yes, you know this already. But you also know people who don't know this.
How can you tell if a company claiming to be a bank, is really a bank?

This was my first experience with snow tires and I must say, I am truly blown away by the dry/wet/snow performance! On dry and wet pavement, this tire keeps my Accord planted with confidence, no hydroplaning in rain (even at speed >100 mph). I picked the Pirelli brand over the Michelin Alpine 4 because of the tread pattern and rating I saw on another website! My ONLY complaint is I picked the incorrect size; my ride's lowered on Eibach springs and minor dips causes a bit of rubbing in the front 😡. Hoping I can purchase a set in 235/40/18, for this coming winter! Almost forgot to elaborate on snow performance. Only lost control in snow when I turned a corner > 40 mph; almost hit the curb but was able to downshift to sport mode and steer myself out of trouble!

I bought these tires specifically because they were the best performance winter tires on the market. I have driven them on went, dry, and now have a lot of time driving them on snow. They are exactly as advertised, a great performance winter tire! If I had to point out one weakness, I find that breaking performance in the snow is quite poor! This really surprises me as accelerating in snow and overall handling in snow is excellent!

March 1, 2012 —
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — To be selected as one of the 30 teams vying in the Section 9 basketball tournament is an honor unto itself. Every team enters the big dance hoping to win and advance toward the lofty goal of reaching the finals and winning a title. But all, save one in each of the five classes of schools, will fall short of the mark. Despite the disappointment that comes with the end of a season, athletes, coaches and the communities they represent have much to be proud of.
For number-three seeded Sullivan West, the valor of turning a prior 1-17 season into an 11-8 one, replete with a sectional home game, was a case in point. The Class B Bulldogs fought to the end but came up short by the score of 68-60 against number-six Spackenkill. Seniors John Masten and E.J. Franskevicz scored 15 and 13 respectively. Junior Sawyer Erlwein and sophomore Patrick Pierce each had 10. Franskevicz hit three of Sullivan West's six treys on the night.
Meanwhile, the number-five seeded Liberty boys bested number-four O'Neill 62-53, as Eddie Byrd posted 27 to go along with 16 from Ryan Henry. Liberty advanced to play number-one Burke on February 29. Top-seeded Livingston Manor advanced to the Class D finals to face number-two John A. Coleman Catholic behind the Wildcats' 84-47 win over Roscoe. In a rare Class C home and away two-game sequence, Tri-Valley and Fallsburg vied in quarterfinal clashes. In the day game, number four-seeded Fallsburg boys (14-5) defeated number-five seeded Tri-Valley 58-41 in the Comets' gym. Braiden DeGraw led the way with 16 points as the Comets withstood early Tri-Valley fervor. The Comets held a slim 15-14 lead at the end of the first quarter but eventually their speed, unselfish play and deft shooting enabled them to garner the convincing win. Fallsburg travelled to number-one seeded Pine Plains on February 28, hoping to pull off what would amount to a huge upset over the defending Class C Champions. In the nightcap, Tri-Valley girls improved to 17-1 behind a 68-54 win over Fallsburg, which ended its season at 10-9. Caroline Martin and Erin Smith led the Lady Bears with 15 points apiece and despite the heroic efforts of Fallsburg senior Sheryl Pinder, who posted a game-high 29, the Lady Comets allowed a close game to get away from them in the third quarter as Tri-Valley outscored Fallsburg 22-14 to create a 13-point lead. Katlynn Greffrath's three pointer with 3.1 seconds remaining in the third stanza would prove to be the dagger that sundered the proud Lady Comets. It was the swan song for Pinder and fellow seniors Shanice Mack, Celia Garcia, Samantha Rivera and Savonne Gillard. Tri-Valley advanced to a home semifinal versus number-three Tuxedo on February 28. The winner advanced to the finals to face John A. Coleman Catholic, which was Class D state champion a year ago. Tri-Valley is the defending Class C champion. In Class B girls play, number-five Liberty fell to number-four Onteora 61-34. Olivia Baum had 24 for the Lady Indians who ended their season at 8-11.
In the NYSPHSAA state wrestling tournament, Liberty junior Andy Martinez (182) finished sixth overall as he wrestled through a hurt shoulder. He was pinned by top-seeded Tony Lock of Pioneer in a semifinal bout. Martinez is the first Liberty wrestler to place at states since Tony Lewis in 1964. At the Section 9 Indoor Track State Qualifier, Sullivan County doubled up its state contenders from a year ago. Eldred will send an unprecedented three to compete at Cornell University on March 18. Sullivan West's Rachel Deppa will make her third trip to states in the 1500 racewalk. She looks to better her 12th- and 10th-place finishes at states recorded over the past two years. Alex Campanella will vie in the 1600, Hunter Proscia will compete in the 3200 and Breanna Brucher goes for her winning leap of 10-0 in the pole vault. Tri-Valley's Jimmy Bernstein won the mile at the state qualifier with a personal best time of 4:29.15, a full 3:29 faster than his prior best. He is the first T-V indoor state contender since Garrett Grey's shot put acumen sent him to states in 2006. Danielle Darby qualified by winning the shot put and weight throw. The latter is not a state event but Darby's throw of 47-6 was 13 inches farther than she posted a year ago. Garrett LaPolt will represent Monticello with his win in the shot put with a mark of 50-10.25, while Amanda Bertholf qualified in the pole vault with a leap of 9-3.

On the evening of May 2, citizens from different denominations came together at the Kenedy High School Auditorium to observe the 2013 National Day of Prayer. They answered the call to "Pray for America" with praise, thanksgiving, repentance, and intercessory prayer for the United States of America. This year's theme was based on scripture from Matthew 12:21, "In His name the nations will put their hope."
The service opened with a welcome by Rick Taylor and "Heal Our Land," played and sung by members of Kenedy's City of Refuge Church. Bro. Jon Waller of Runge First Baptist Church gave the opening prayer, and Elyssa Schroeder read Ephesians 6:10-18. The pledges of allegiance to the United States, Texas and Christian flags and the Bible were recited, and Bro. Russell Briley of the Kenedy Church of Christ led "The Star Spangled Banner".
Choir members of First Baptist Church, Kenedy sang "What a Friend We Have in Jesus". Bro. Larry Odom of Choate Baptist Church gave a brief message on prayer, and Bil and Cam Homeyer played and sang "Break Our Hearts".
Intercessory prayers were then led by Tommy Jimerson (Government), Robert Trevino (The Church), Gary Deskin (Our Military), Randy Witte, Interim Pastor of Sendero Cowboy Church (Families), Lacy Pogue (Education), Debbie Locander (The Media), Leslie Wynn (Business), Rob Gunn (The Unborn and Elderly), and Dorothy Pogue (Missionaries and The Lost).
"Sweet Hour of Prayer" was sung by the Men's Choir of United Methodist Church, Karnes City-Kenedy, and the closing prayer was given by Bro. Larry Odom.
A heartfelt "thank you" goes out to all who participated in this very special event. It was a blessing to watch the Lord bringing believers from many churches in our area and beyond to pray for our country.

The weekend before Christmas in 1957, my mom and dad, my older brother and I set out to buy a fresh-cut tree at Deavers Fruit Farm in Perry County.
Waiting until a few days before the holiday helped heighten the anticipation for Barney and me.
At ages 9 and 5, we had our share of extra energy.
My brother and I each wore rubber boots over our dress shoes (using wax paper on the heels of our shoes to help slide them into the boots), two pairs of pants, a T-shirt, a flannel shirt, a hooded sweatshirt, a winter coat, gloves and a hat with earflaps.
All of us climbed into the family Chevy, and off we went.
During the summer, the Deavers sold vegetables and fruit; as the leaves turned, they peddled pumpkins.
With the snowflakes swirling, they offered fresh-cut trees.
Barney and I spent much of the drive drawing imaginary boundary lines on the back seat, daring each other to cross the other's line. Otherwise, we drew pictures on the frosted car windows.
When we finally turned into Mr. Deaver's driveway, I could hardly handle my excitement.
Dad had barely stopped the car before my brother and I had jumped to freedom. Before long, we had devised a perfect way to entertain ourselves: tree jumping.
We didn't jump over trees but instead ran down a hill and leapt as high as possible into a tree, grabbing the nearest branch. The tree bent under our weight, then catapulted us into the air.
The conditions were ideal: We were packing extra weight from our multilayered clothing, and the trees happened to be positioned for "optimum launch height."
We were having a lot of fun (Mom and Dad hadn't seen us) — until my final run downhill.
At lightning speed, I jumped like Superman and reached near the top of a young spruce.
The tree bent, and into the air I soared.
At that moment, a school librarian crossed in front of my landing zone.
I can still see the frozen look of surprise on her face.
I remember Dad grabbing me by the back of the neck and arm, pulling me off her, and Mom helping Ms. Vanatta off the ground and brushing the snow from her coat.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the flash of Barney running past us.
He jumped into a white pine and grabbed a branch.
The tree bent and bent — until it could bend no more.
During the Christmas season of 1957, we surely had the shortest tree in Perry County.
Mike Johnson, 61, of Delaware has left his tree-jumping days behind.


text: My baby boy is almost 5 months old and I have been exclusively breastfeeding the entire time. At first, he was a great eater and weight gainer. Then once I went back to work (when we was 4 months old) he hasn't been gaining as well. One reason for this could be that he didn't eat much at all the first week or two at daycare - but is now eating two 4oz bottles during the day. As far as a feeding/pumping schedule, I nurse him at 7am, pump at 10,nurse him at the daycare at 12, pump at 3, and then nurse him around 6pm, then through the evening. We started rice 2 weeks ago and he loves it and wants more. My worry is that I'm not producing much and that he won't gain weight like he needs too. When I pump I am only getting 1-2 oz from each breast at each pumping session. I'm worried that this is only foremilk and not the good stuff. I have been on Reglan for 2 weeks and it has helped. Any advice? Should I be worried?


text:
So I am new to this forum and am one week from my scheduled c/s with my first baby. I have no idea how to start feeding and have been getting more and more nervous since researching breast feeding. I have had so many women tell me how horrible it is and how much it hurts and I am just wondering what tips you have for starting feeding in order to keep on the right track. I have never wanted to formula feed and have always known I was going to breast feed. I just don't want to start out wrong and get discouraged.
Any advice would be apprceiated! Thanks
Soon to be momma to a little boy!

Airlines Prepare for Takeoff
NEW YORK (Real Money) -- We have witnessed a series of mergers between major airlines: the Delta
In the old days, the business was a vicious Hobbesian nightmare, an ultra-competitive war of all against all in which life was nasty, brutish and short. Bankruptcies were endemic. In fact, not a single U.S. carrier that had been around back in 1978, when airlines were deregulated, has survived without going through bankruptcy at last once. There was no other way for these companies to contend with the endless competition, which had put constant downward pressure on ticket prices.
But, after the recent spate of consolidation, the U.S. airline industry has become a slap-happy oligopoly. Once the AMR-U.S. Airways deal goes through, we'll be in a new world order, with the top four domestic airlines handling more than 80% of the domestic traffic. These mergers have allowed the airlines to cut costs and take out excess capacity. In short, running a major airline is now a viable business proposition.
That's not the only thing going right. The airlines spend a fortune on jet fuel, so the falling price of oil is terrific for the bottom line at these companies. Meanwhile, the economy is getting stronger. That means more travel -- another plus.
Why is U.S. Airways-AMR the best way to play the renaissance? Simple: because the much-anticipated merger, a deal I believe based on coverage at The Deal, will pass antitrust muster.
Once this merger is completed, the combined company will be the largest airline in the world, with a fleet of 1,500 aircraft.

Theater Review: 'Spitfire Grill' a feel-good rural musicalBy Jim LowePhoto by Rob Strong
Amanda Ryan Paige, left, is Percy and Marisa Devetta portrays Shelby in the Northern Stage production of "The Spitfire Grill."
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION — Many Vermonters will remember the "The Spitfire Grill," Lee David Zlotoff's 1966 hit indie film partially filmed in Vermont using some Weston Playhouse actors. Well, there's a musical version too — and while not quite as compelling as the movie, it's plenty entertaining.
Northern Stage opened an effervescent production of the musical this week at White River Junction's Briggs Opera House. At Thursday's preview performance, it proved largely well cast, stylish and entertaining.
"The Spitfire Grill," with music and book by James Valcq and lyrics and book by Fred Alley, was premiered by Playwrights Horizons off-Broadway at the Duke Theatre on Sept. 7, 2001, and ran its scheduled month. It received the Richard Rodgers Production Award, administered by the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and has since been produced some 500 times worldwide by regional, community and student theaters.
Percy, a 20-something woman, has just arrived in a tiny Wisconsin town, just released from five years in prison and looking for a new life. She is reluctantly taken under his wing by Sheriff Joe Sutter, who finds her a job and place to stay with Hannah Ferguson at her diner.
After some sparring, Percy and Hannah begin to get along. When Hannah's hip gives out, they are joined by Shelby, despite her husband Caleb's objections. The three become friends — and agree to help Hannah rid herself of the grill.
But there are complications, many complications — among others, the angry Caleb researches and reveals Percy's sordid crime, and what is Hannah's dark secret?
"The Spitfire Grill," the musical, is no masterpiece. The story is a bit complex for a musical, but the message is certainly there. The music is quite attractive in a sanitized bluegrass vein. It's well written but overlong. How many songs do you want to hear about how wonderful it is living in a small town? (We know. We live in Vermont.)
Still, the Northern Stage production benefited from the expert direction of Catherine Doherty, Northern Stage's longtime producing director. The action was fast-paced, the music was spot-on. The acting, though sometimes a little formulaic, was pretty convincing.
The main trio of women was particularly fine. Susan Fletcher was most authentic as Hannah, theatrically and vocally, giving this wonderful character real depth. An excellent singer, Amanda Ryan Paige's Percy was quite dimensional and sympathetic. And Marisa Devetta as Shelby gave a potent performance as a stressed housewife, and proved quite a tender singer as well.
Charis Leos, a Northern Stage veteran and expert comic actress, was most charming as the officious postmistress, Effy. Kevin David Thomas was warm and appropriately clumsy as the sheriff. Ben Sargent, despite stiffness and vocal troubles, was appropriately sullen as Caleb. Alan Gelfant was well cast as the mystery character.
The music, directed by Joe Mercier, was expertly and effervescently performed. However, the individual miking of the actors and amplification of the totally hidden band gave a synthetic feel to the music.
Jordan Janota's evocative and imaginative set, appropriate costumes by Johanna Cahill and Meghan Pearson, and dramatic lighting by David Upton all contributed to the production's polish.

Doomes was indicted on two counts of injury to a child in May 2011.
One felony count had been dropped by the state, and the second count concluded in acquittal.
Doomes had been indicted on the injury to a child charges that the prosecution tied to 10-week-old Jordan Doomes' death, which occurred prior to the charges.
In the re-indicment, Doomes was cleared of the remaining second count of injury to a child.
"We thank God and his precious Son for watching over him for two long years for something he did not do," said Mable Henderson, speaking for the Henderson and Doomes families.
Doomes spent the last two years in the Refugio County Jail.
"Thanks for all the prayers from family and friends. We love you all," Henderson said.

Johnson, Baldwin discuss areas of agreement
Senator, senator-elect meet Wednesday
Republican Sen. Ron Johnson said he spoken with Democratic Sen.-elect Tammy Baldwin and congratulated her on her victory in Tuesday's election.
Johnson said Wednesday he wants to sit down with Baldwin and discuss areas where they can agree as they prepare to represent Wisconsin together in the U.S. Senate. But Johnson said he agrees that they are about as polar opposite politically as could be.
Johnson is a tea party Republican elected in 2010. Baldwin is a liberal Democrat and the first openly gay candidate ever elected to the Senate.
Baldwin said voters sent a message Tuesday that they are tired of gridlock in Washington with her victory and by re-electing President Barack Obama.

OTTAWA - An anti-bullying activist says threatening to throw the book at young people who bully others online likely won't stop them from picking on their peers.
Bill Belsey of Bullying.org says that's because youngsters often don't make the connection between illegal acts and the consequences.
He says prevention needs to be the priority.
Conservatives on a House of Commons committee voted today to quash a private members' bill after hearing concerns raised by witnesses.
Witnesses at the committee called for government support, centred on education and prevention, rather than criminal legislation.
However, the Canadian Teachers Federation supported the bill, stating teachers and students required legal protection from cyber-bullying.

Sports Rivalries to Watch Out For in 2013
Intense contests in sports will spill over to 2013. Here are five big contests to watch out for...
1. Close Contest
The year 2012 saw Rory McIlroy hanging in to the World No. 1 spot in golf. However, the biggest challenge for the Northern Irish golfer will be Tiger Woods, who catapulted to the World No. 3 spot quite fast. The year 2013 may see the American golfer giving tough competition to McIlroy.
2. Convoluted Court!
There was nothing much to choose between World No. 1 Novak Djokovic and World No. 2 Roger Federer in 2012. However, the injury of Rafael Nadal, makes the war in men's tennis a two-sided contest in 2013.
3. The Goal Machines
Lionel Messi clearly had the edge in 2012, with 91 goals for Barcelona; he broke the all-time leading goal scoring record in La Liga. In contrast, Cristiano Ronaldo was not in full flow for Real Madrid. However, the goal scoring contest can get intriguing in 2013.
4. The Ashes
England will aim to retain The Ashes, which they have been winning since 2009 and again in the 2010/11 in Australia. The series in 2013 will be held in England.
5. Formula One Race
Come 2013, Red Bull driver and three-time (2010, 2011 and 2012) Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel is all set to face stiff competition from Scuderia Ferrari driver and two-time (2005 and 2006) F1 champion Fernando Alonso. Hoping to spring a surprise will be the new Mercedes AMG driver Lewis Hamilton, McLaren-Mercedes driver Jenson Button and Lotus-Renault driver Kimi Raikkonen.

guyz just admit it
ems sasuke vs kakashi is debateable,and both have 50% chances to beat each other
the guy above me told about silent killing
and u gave answer by urself
he has dogs
in order for the dogs to be effective he would have to get his scent on sauske like he did with zabuza but going close zuarters on him would be suicade however iam sure he would find a way without going close quarters like throwing a kuni with a article of clothing or blood on it but hidden in mist jutsu is not the trump card people are saying it is
Kakashi knows about sasuke a little he is a combo type fighter even fooled itachi with his shadow clone also he plays it safe so the hole time sasuke will be fighting a clone and when the clone dies kakashi comes up with a plan like he did pain

Sorry for double posting but he don't need a scent he dogs can help him find sasuke I know it's not a trump card but your in trouble if you don't have a wind tec to get deactivate the Justus
Kakashi can obviously beat MS Sasuke, but EMS Sasuke will supposedly be on Naruto's level (for the final fight to be interesting). I'm not sure what other power-ups Sasuke can get (Madara's perfect Susanoo? Oh shit...) but anyway, EMS Sasuke could most likely defeat Kakashi.
I would say they are about equal currently, but when Sasuke improves better with EMS, i think he would be stronger
Good effort but it would be very unlikely kakashi would stand a chance long.
Don't forget Kakashi has another move!
Thousand-Years of Death!
this is just so pathetic
I don't think I've ever seen Kakashi use fire techs. I'm pretty sure he can only use earth, lightning and water. He may have used fire at some point in the anime but that isn't canon.
Also, rasengan isn't a wind tech.
lets all just agree sasuke is overpowered and has not put one shred of hard work in to get where he is, except his base skills.... his been spoon fed power the whole series. i hope he realizes his a douche and commits suicide.
Kakashi has neither fire or wind nature techniques.
Also ms sasuke > kakashi. He'd waste chakra on teleporting susano arrows with kamui because thats the only way he can avoid it

I think it would be an even fight. That is all.

Kakashi used the Rasengan.

Rasengan doesn't have a nature affinity to it. Just because Kakashi can use it doesn't mean he is able to use wind or fire release. Naruto is the only one to infuse wind release into his rasengan.

Kaakshi's Abilities
Copying Jutsus
Kakashi Hatake also known as copy ninja and elite is a main charachter of the series Naruto and Naruto
Naruto kakashi chidori by newanimationworld.jpg
Dawoodahmad10Added by Dawoodahmad10
shippuden. He is known all over the World for his mongekyo sharingan(a special eye of a special family uchiha). He is known as copy ninja to copy over thousands of jutsus.
S/t Techniques
Kakashi is also able to use a space time technique kamui that can transport objects. He can take this advantage fighting Sasuke.
Mongekyo Sharingan
Kakashi also has a mongekyo Sharingan. He can easily see how fast sasuke is moving.
As he has copied over thousands of jutsus, he has mastered five natures, fire, lightning, wind, earth and water. He can use all these as an advantage against Sasuke.
Lightning Master
Kakashi has mastered lightning nature of which, he uses an S-Rank Technique Raikiri and an A-RAnk technique Chidori.
Fire Release
Kakashi is also very good in fire release and uses uchiha's special fireball technique.
Water Release
Kakashi is also a master in water. He can use siz water techniques:
Hiding in a mist technique
Water Clone Technique
Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique
Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique
Water Release: Water Encampment Wall
Water Release: Water Shark Bullet Technique
Earth Release
Kakashi has also been a good in earth release. he copied earth techniques from earth users from all over the world. He has been shown using following earth techniques:
Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique
Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall
Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole Technique
Wind Release
Kakashi also uses an A-Rank wind release technique rasengan which is in the same way as chidori.
kakashi has proven to be very adept in taijutsu, which, combined with his impressive speed, allows him to effectively catch his opponents off guard and evade attacks. His hand seal prowess has also been noted as very great, as he is able to use high-level techniques with few hand seals and perform them at highly difficult speeds to follow.
Eight gates
Kakashi had also unlocked the first two of the eight gates so he can also use the in his battle with sasuke.
Kakashi has been on the 9/10th level of speed. He was as fast as couldn't even be approched by sasuke. He was shown many times greater than Sasuke.
Kakashi also uses many taijutsu combos which are:
Silent Killing
Strong Fist
Lotus Front
Kakashi also uses some genjutsus but they won't stand a chance against Sasuke.
Sasuke's Abilities
Sasuke has very less jutsus as compared to Kakashi.
Amaterasu is a special ability and highest level of fire release used by Uchiha. Sasuke can use this technique on kakashi but he would use his s/t kamui to blow it away or at least dodge it.
Kakashi has once expirienced tsukuyomi and won't look into sasuke's eye.
Susanoo is the only thing that would help sasuke in his battle with kakashi.
But Kakashi has thousands of jutsus and use them like danzo put a crack on susanoo.
Fire Release
Kakashi will easily dodge Sasuke's Fire release techniques.
Kakashi will use his kamui to defend from kirin.
Kakashi has a better tech raikiri in the same way.
I love kakashi but this is wrong in so many ways and brings up multiple irrelevant points.
Originally Posted by KevinPJH

Rasengan isnt a wind tech. Rasenshuriken is a wind technique, but regular rasengan isn't. I dont know how anyone could be missing this as a bit part of narutos training in shippuden was learning how to add a nature element to the rasengan creating the rasenhshuriken.
Regular rasengan is just shape transformation or whatever.

Senator-designate Brian Schatz will be sworn in as Hawaii's newest U.S. senator Thursday on Capitol Hill.
Schatz will be sworn in at around 9:30 a.m. Hawaii time. KITV4 News and KITV.com will carry the swearing-in LIVE.
The former lieutenant governor flew to Washington on Air Force One when President Barack Obama left Hawaii Wednesday night.
Schatz told reporters it was a scramble to get ready to head to Washington. An ABC News reporter asked him about the warm overcoat he was wearing.
"I bought this coat yesterday," said Schatz to laughs from reporters.
Schatz's parents, wife and children flew separately to Washington to watch his swearing in ceremony.
When asked about the fiscal cliff, Schatz was right on message less than 24 hours after being told he was coming to Washington.
"At this stage it's difficult to understand why we would inflict this on ourselves. I'm confident cooler heads will prevail," said Schatz. "The only thing worse than a solution to the fiscal cliff would be going over it."
About his flight on Air Force One, Schatz said, "It was a lovely flight. I slept almost the whole way."

General Discussion
Dyskeratosis congenita is a rare genetic form of bone marrow failure, the inability of the marrow to produce sufficient blood cells. Dyskeratosis is Latin and means the irreversible degeneration of skin tissue, and congenita means inborn. First described in the medical literature in 1906, dyskeratosis congenita was originally thought to be a skin disease that also affects the nails and the mouth. Only later in the sixties was it realized that patients with these skin changes almost always develop bone marrow failure. Thus, for the last 40 years or so, the bone marrow failure syndrome dyskeratosis congenita was diagnosed when patients presented with the triad of abnormal skin, malformation (dystrophy) of the nails, and white, thickened patches on the mucous membranes of the mouth (oral leukoplakia). The skin changes may be present before the development of bone marrow failure. Bone marrow failure is usually diagnosed by the low number of circulating blood cells including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Additional findings in patients with dyskeratosis congenita may include short stature, eye and tooth abnormalities, thin and early graying of the hair, lung (pulmonary) disease, liver disease, gut abnormalities, bone thinning (osteoporosis), infertility, learning difficulties, and delays in reaching developmental milestones. An increased incidence of leukemia and cancer has also been documented.
Today, in addition to examining the skin, nails, and mouth for these classical changes, we also use other tests to diagnose dyskeratosis congenita including testing for the genetic abnormality responsible for the development of the disease. Using these more sensitive tests, we are beginning to realize, that only a minority of patients with the genetic abnormality actually develop the full clinical picture of dyskeratosis congenita as outlined above. We find that there are many more individuals with the genetic abnormality (mutation) who have only a mild form of the disease. Often these individuals may only show one or two of the clinical features and these only become obvious, late in life. Some never develop the classic skin abnormalities that coined the name of the disease. Whether the disease in these patients in the absence of skin manifestations should also be labeled with dyskeratosis congenita is controversial and often these individuals are referred to as having atypical dyskeratosis congenita. There are even individuals carrying the mutation who will never develop disease, however their children or grandchildren might. These individuals are often referred to as silent mutation carriers. This new knowledge is important for physicians and patients because much of what has previously been published about this disease may actually not apply anymore for all individuals newly diagnosed with dyskeratosis congenita. In addition to the many more mild manifestations of this disease we also realize that there are some rare but very severe forms of dyskeratosis congenita. These were previously known as the Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson syndrome and the Revesz syndrome but today we know that they have the same underlying abnormality and are caused at least in part by mutations in the same genes responsible for dyskeratosis congenita. These severe forms manifest early in life and are associated with additional clinical features that are usually not present in other forms of dyskeratosis congenita (see also below).
In the majority of cases dyskeratosis congenita is inherited. The pattern of inheritance may be X-linked (Zinsser-Cole-Engleman syndrome), autosomal dominant (dyskeratosis congenita, Scoggins type) or autosomal recessive. However, in a large proportion of patients dyskeratosis congenita occurs sporadically, meaning that the parents do not show disease. In some patients with sporadic DC the genetic abnormality may have newly arisen (de novo mutation) and therefore is not present in either parent.
