Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hey there. Glad you were able to stop by. Welcome to my little corner of builds.
Before I open the doors, let me first warn you, this is my first build guide.
Should also warn you I'm fairly low ELO.
My name is Griggory Manbear, I've been playing since early S2. Back in those days.. Boy. What fun. Anyone grow up in League always playing with their thousand win level 30 friends? Not fun, right? Well I'm here to tell you it gets better.
This guide will be mostly focused toward low ELO players, as I'm sure there's much better guides for Wukong out there, but this is based on my experience, and what I've come to learn in my area of ELO.
First things first, don't treat this guide as the be all end all, if you feel it deserves to be treated like that. Think of this more as an idea. Everything in this guide is simply the way I do things, but it is definitely open to interpretation. Develop your own style and build that you're comfortable with. Item sets are your friend!
I am open to any and all criticisms, feedback, or ideas you care to submit, and I will consider them all as payment for you reading this guide. Thank you for taking the time to do so, by the way. Appreciate it!
With all of that out of the way.. Welcome, to Wukong!
Pros and Cons
- Has a strong early game against many popular top lane picks.
- Can quickly destroy an ADC in teamfights.
- Has one of the best escapes - in my opinion.
- Will often win exchanges with his Crushing Blow.
- Tons of fun to play when you learn him.
- Is often focused in teamfights due to his high damage output, and his fantastic initiation.
- Tends to be a bit more squishy than other Wukong builds.
- Escape is easily shut down by champions with a reveal ability. Such as Lee Sin, or Caitlyn.
- Is countered by but really, what top lane isn't countered by Killer Croc?
Popular Match Ups / Counters
Oh hooray! My favorite part. Now, honestly, I hate 90% of these champs because of how often I play Wukong.
- I really hate Killer Croc. He's going to out sustain you through the entire laning phase with his Cull the Meek, you won't catch him with Cyclone because of his Slice and Dice, and his stun Ruthless Predator is going to be a massive hassle. Early on you won't have to worry too much about this match up, but be extremely cautious when he hits 6. If you want to go in for a kill on him, make sure you have your jungler there to back you up, as he is definitely going to win the exchange if you don't play dirty. Always make sure you keep tabs on his rage bar. If it goes through more than half of the bar, there's a good chance he'll get very aggressive, as his abilities will do more after he has 50 rage. Watch out for Dominus as well, as he will deal continuous AoE damage, and you won't be able to kill him easily without help. Always let your team know when he uses this skill, and try to coordinate a teamfight before it comes off cooldown.
- Everyone hates playing against Riven. In my experience, it has always been a skill match up. Early game you're going to do great against her, you might even get a kill. Maybe. What you need to watch out for is the Riven player's first back. Depending on how they do, they either come back roughly the same, or suddenly extremely strong. Once again, you're going to want to play safe after 6, but don't let her snowball. Instead, try to get yourself to snowball, and don't be afraid to ask your jungle for help.
- The biggest reason he counters you is because of his Tempest / Cripple. This AoE, if it lands on you, will reveal you even while invisible. This match up mainly requires you to anticipate over react. If you can make him use his Tempest / Cripple without using your Decoy, you'll be fine.
- He's a counter to Wukong the same way he's a counter to most melee AD champs. His Counter Strike. Try not to get into straight fights with him, unless he has much less HP than you do. His passive, Relentless Assault will hurt a ton. I find that you can easily lure out his Counter Strike then go in with Crushing Blow for a bit of damage.
- He's going to destroy what little bit of sustain you do have with Hemorrhage, his Decimate out ranges Crushing Blow, Apprehend is going to make escape difficult, and Noxian Guillotine is really going to screw you over if you're not careful. Don't take unnecessary risks with this match up. As with most so far, try to get your jungle to help out if you really need to take him down. If you're at low HP and you manage to escape, hug your turret, or go back immediately. I almost always opt to go back, as he can dive very easily with Noxian Guillotine. He's going to win lane. Exchanges will definitely tip in his favor, but late game you're going to do more for your team, so try not to feed him, and just farm up!
- It's everyone's favorite top! Yes indeed ladies and gentlemen, Garen, The Might of Demacia. He has a silence with Decisive Strike, which is also a speed boost. He can negate a lot of your damage with Courage, and he'll push a hell of a lot harder than you with judgement. As with Darius, you really need to get cautious when Garen hits level 6. His Demacian Justice is much more powerful than Darius' Noxian Guillotine, as it will do damage based on how much HP you're missing. Imagine Garen as the older brother that always beats you up. Your spin - cylone - will beat his - judgement - in terms of damage and utility, but he gets his at level 2 or 3, and has a fairly low cooldown on it.
- Nasus will mostly ignore you. His biggest priority is going to be farming up stacks with Siphoning Strike. This is a no no. Try to deny as much farm as you can against Nasus, and really use Crushing Blow as much as you can. His slow, Wither, is going to put you out of business for the duration. Try to stay out of Spirit Fire as this will negate your passive Stone Skin pretty heavily, while also doing damage over time. As with Renekton, you're going to want to play cautiously at level 6. His Fury of the Sands is very similar to Renekton's Dominus. With many Nasus players, they will take teleport to really assert dominance in lanes that need it. Watch for this, and if you absolutely have to, don't hesitate to use Cyclone to cancel the teleport.
Summoner Spells
Flash is going to double as both a surprise initiation - Flash to Cyclone - as well as a strong escape, especially when paired with Decoy.
|Ignite is a good way to secure a running kill, and an especially good pair with Cyclone, as it just adds even more damage to your ultimate. Use with some caution however, as you might not be able to secure the kill with it.
Skills Explained
Lets get this train wreck started.
In this portion I'll go through all of Wukong's skills, and explain why they're good, tactics for using them, etc.
- Stone Skin: Increases Wukong's Armor and Magic Resist for each nearby Champion.
Now, lemme level with you for a second. This passive is fantastic. It makes you difficult to kill in teamfights - but not invincible, so caution is still necessary! This passive has such a synergy with his ultimate it's not even funny.
- Crushing Blow: Wukong's next attack deals additional physical damage, gains range, and reduces the enemy's Armor for a short duration.
Probably my favorite skill in the game, and is always going to be the first skill you pick up. This skill will make your early game trades against many champions extremely good, more often than not ending in your favor. This is also a good poke ability for Wukong, as it has a slightly increased range, allowing you to safely smack your opponent from behind your minions. This will also work on towers, so spam the hell out of it when pushing their turrets.
- Decoy: Wukong becomes invisible for 1.5 seconds. An uncontrollable decoy is left behind that will deal magic damage to enemies near it after 1.5 seconds.
This is your escape. It's also in a way used for chasing, but it doesn't get you far. You'll see a lot of good Wukong players use this, by not using it. Weird, right? Let me explain. Many Wukong players when running away, will try to get to a bush, then just stop moving. This makes the enemy think you've used your W, and they'll continue in the direction they think you've gone. Then, if necessary, you can actually use it and get away. You won't be levelling this much throughout early and mid game, as you would expect.
- Nimbus Strike: Wukong dashes toward a target enemy and sends out images to attack up to 2 additional enemies near his target, dealing physical damage to each enemy struck.
This is your gap closer. There's not really much to explain with this. You can use it as an escape by activating it on a minion, if you're seriously extended thinking you'd get the kill, but then getting surprised by the enemy jungle. This skill is also part of a combo, which I will explain later on.
- Cyclone: Wukong's staff grows outward and he spins it around, dealing damage and knocking up enemies. Wukong gains movement speed over the duration of the spell.
Welcome to Initiation City. Population: You. Now, lets be straight. This is a pretty damn good ultimate, especially when paired with Nimbus Strike as you will be able to get in for a quick, clean initiation on the whole enemy team, do your damage, and get out with Decoy. What you will have to remember about this ultimate is that it gives you a responsibility. Your team will expect you to initiate teamfights, and not doing so could lead to a butthurt ADC. Practise with it, learn to use it properly, and you'll be spinning your way through low ELO in no time. Also, remember how I said his passive has an amazing synergy with this? That's because you'll be in the middle of the enemy team, meaning your passive will be used to the fullest!
Now for the combo, the fun stuff! Once you hit three, your combo will be E then Q, then W, and you make your way out. This will eat so much mana, but it's a very effective way to win an exchange every time. Those who know Wukong well will expect this from time to time, and have at least one skill ready for you, depending on who they're playing. In terms of your teamfight combo, it depends on what team initiates. If you're the one doing the initiation, you want to go in with Nimbus Strike and immediately go into Cyclone, however, if they have initiated on your team, you need to focus on taking out the carry. Your level 3 combo will do nicely. As a reminder; Nimbus Strike + Crushing Blow + Decoy and walk your monkey butt out of there.
Since you've finished this book of a chapter, lets continue!
Greater Mark of Attack Damage
Greater Seal of Armor
Greater Glyph of Magic Resist
Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage
- Greater Mark of Attack Damage - This is what I like to take with Wukong. These can easily be switched out for greater mark of armor penetration. These will also help you last hit much more easily.
- Greater Seal of Armor - Very good pick up on Wukong. Without these, his early game is horrible against AD champs. My go to pick for seals.
- Greater Glyph of Magic Resist - These can also be switched out for Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist. I personally prefer flat resist, especially when going up against champions such as .
- Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage - I personally always go for three of these. Those who find their early sustain to be lacking can switch out one or two for Greater Quintessence of Life Steal. Just remember; the easier it is to farm, the more farm you get, the better you do in lane.

I'm optimistic about 2017. I think that project volume will continue, and I'm excited about the strategies that economic developers are devising to address issues ranging from talent to housing and brownfield redevelopment. And while our industry is as advanced as it has ever been, there is still room to separate the best from the rest. Here is my wish list for 2017.
- List your sites and buildings, and keep those listings current. Many site selection projects start with a search for available sites and buildings, and if you are not taking advantage of the systems available to you, you could be missing out on projects without even realizing it.
- Bring the electric utility in upfront, especially for larger, energy intensive projects. First, there's no downside to bringing in the utilities early in the process; it can only help. To that end, if you identify a site on your own that ends up not having the electric capacity or redundancy that a project requires, we're going to be unlikely to give you another shot because we'll be too far down the road to look back and start over. And only the utilities have the latest information on where in their system they have the excess capacity within the timelines that we require.
- If you say your site is rail-served, please make sure it actually is. It's not enough to be next to a rail siding or even a mainline unless the train can stop and pick up cars. Work with the railroads and engineering firms that specialize in these specific types of projects to understand what is possible, under what timeline, and for what cost.
- Know your costs before we come to town. This is one of the biggest fatal flaws according to site selectors. Here's an example of how to do this: We were working an e-commerce project and had identified some finalist communities. One of them focused on this target industry and had data about their cost structure relative to B2C delivery from UPS, USPS, FedEx, etc. Seems obvious, but if there's an industry you are pursuing, do the work to understand your costs.
- Be able to articulate what your area's unique assets are and connect the dots as to why these translate to benefits for companies within your target industries. Better yet, understand which regions you compete with for specific types of projects, and what your competitive advantages (and weaknesses) are.
- Be upfront with deficiencies. I'm not saying to lead with these, but acknowledge any shortcomings and tell us what you are doing to address them. Assume that we'll find out anyway; it's for the best if you don't try to hide or deny any weaknesses. As my dad used to say, "No place is a utopia."
As a second generation site selector, I bring the site selector's point-of-view to each of my economic development projects. If you're looking to improve your site visit performance or your responses to RFIs, we at Ady Advantage can help. Feel free to give us a call at (608) 663-9218 or drop me an email at [email protected] to find out more about our suite of services.

Dogfish Happy Hour Tap Takeover with entertainment by Lauren Kuhne

Dogfish Happy Hour Tap Takeover
The story of Dogfish Head began in June 1995 when we opened Dogfish Head Brewing & Eats, the first state's first brewpub in the resort beach community of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Since the beginning, we have always wanted to bring original beer, great food and local music to the area.
Not only was Dogfish Head Delaware's first brewpub, it was the smallest commercial brewery in America. Our very first batch, Shelter Pale Ale, was brewed on a system that was essentially three little kegs with propane burners underneath. When the doors to the pub first opened, we brewed three times a day, five days a week! The one benefit to brewing on such a small system was the ability to try out a new myriad of different recipes. We quickly got bored brewing the same things over and over – that's when we started adding all sorts of weird ingredients and getting kind of crazy with the beers!
We're now up to nearly 20 styles of beer that are sold in more than 25 states, and a half-dozen kinds of hand-crafted spirits… and we still have some ideas in the back of our collective heads. If you haven't had the chance to taste Dogfish head, find a beer, track down one of our spirits or visit one of our restaurants! You will see why international beer writer Michael Jackson called Dogfish Head "America's most interesting and adventurous small brewery."
Lauren Kuhne
Lauren Kuhne (pronounced "keenee") is a Wilmington-based singer songwriter that is relatively new to the local music scene. She started to write early last year, took her material to a few open mics, and was invited to play more established events such as The 6, The 2013 Ladybug Festival, and The 2013 Brandywine Festival of the Arts. She worked under a condensed timeline to release her first 3 song EP on the day of the Brandywine Festival and plans to release a second EP in 2014.

Radiant Heaters: how to choose?
Dehumidifiers - is not a new word in the art.They even used our grandparents in the Soviet Union.However, to date, these devices have been major improvements compared to their predecessors and have become much safer and more effective.In this article, we'll show you how to choose an infrared heater, so as not to freeze in winter.
mechanism of the IR heater
The first thing to understand is that infrared heater.Infrared heater - a heater, wherein the heating element is used emitter of infrared waves.
Depending on what kind of shape is the emitter is isolated:
- infrared heaters with an open spiral (currently almost out of use due to the high flammability and low efficiency).
- Infrared heaters with quartz tube.They are usually suspended from the ceiling, as the powerful wave of warm air from the heater this is always directed to one point, and the best option is when the heat is dissipated gradually when moving from floor to ceiling.
- IR heaters with heat radiating plate are the best infrared heaters.Although their maximum heating temperature is lower than the quartz tube heaters, it is enough for the uniform heating of a small room.
Tips for Choosing a device
If you have decided on the type of heater, the next question that will arise in front of you, it is a direct purchase of the device under the conditions of the room.Before you choose an infrared heater, please note the following points:
- Consider whether you will only use this heater or it will only supplement central heating.
- Calculate the thermal power needed to heat your premises in an average, for living quarters, this value is derived from the rate of 100 watts per square meter.Learn
- maximum heat output of the heater, which you plan to purchase.It should be approximately equal to the power calculated by you.On average, infrared heaters are designed for rooms up to 40 m2.
- When it comes to buying a ceiling heater, make sure that the ceiling height in the room allows you to hang the heater at a height of 2.5-3.5 m above the floor.
To understand what is better infrared heater, you will also need to pay attention to the additional options:
- thermostat;
- protection against overheating;
- rollover sensor;
- remote control.
More information on apartment methods of maintaining a comfortable temperature can be found in the article How to heat a house.

by Paula Stuart-Warren
This series of records reproduces ratified treaties that occurred between the United States government and American Indian tribes. Also included are related correspondence, a chronological list of the treaties, and indexes by both place and tribe. A few earlier treaties and agreements between the colonial governments and the Continental Congress, and the Congress of the Confederation are included as these were later adopted under the U.S. Government.
The treaties were basically a means by which the British Government, and subsequently the United States government, acquired land from those already settled on it – the Indian tribes. Treaties with Indians in the United States have the same importance as treaties with foreign nations. The treaties with the Indians meant the recognition of the tribes as sovereign nations, and treaties were ratified by Congress. However, an Act of Congress, March 3, 1871 (16 Stat. 566) stated that the treaty era was to end. Treaties already ratified and in effect, however, were not revoked.
The treaties detailed the agreements and the commitments made by each side. A combination of factors was behind the impetus of treaties between the United States government and Indian tribes. Settlers moving westward wanted the land; fur traders, general store owners, and others had extended credit to Indians and wanted to be paid; and the government itself wanted land it could sell or grant. Out of this was born the treaty system.

Two governors and several MPs are protesting the appointment of Prof Laban Ayiro as acting VC of Moi University.
Prof Ayiro is currently the acting deputy vice-chancellor in charge of planning. He was appointed by the Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i for a three month period before a substantive VC is appointed.
The leaders who stormed the university want CS Fred Matiang'i to immediately appoint a substantive VC based on merit.

They argue that it is wrong to appoint an acting VC when the university council concluded the process of recruiting a new VC.
They also argue that an "outsider" cannot be appointed to the top of the Eldoret-based university.
Education Cabinet Secretary has however defended the appointment of Prof Laban Ayiro, saying he followed the law and the decision would not be revoked.
He added that he wasn't a politician so he would not be responding to any of them.
"I am a public servant and will not engage in politics. We have many politicians whom they can engage."

The Politicians, championed by Uasin Gishu Governor Jackson Mandago, are alleging that the Education CS and other powerful sectors are pushing for the appointment of their preferred candidate.
They stated that Prof. Isaac Kosgey, one of those interviewed for the position, emerged top and should be appointed permanently.
"We want to be very clear on this. There will be no graduation on Friday if Kosgey is not the VC," he told workers at the university.
"We have told Matiang'i to immediately release his appointment letter."
Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi continued the address, alleging that tribalism against Kalenjins is the reason behind Prof Kosgey not being appointed.
"We wonder why they have to wait for DP William Ruto to be out of the country to mess up with our university. We will not accept that."
"We will cut all trees and use all means possible to block roads and ensure there is no graduation on Friday."

World Space Week 2017
"Exploring New Worlds in Space"
Each year, the World Space Week Association (WSWA) selects a theme for the upcoming World Space Week (WSW) to provide a focus of the activities and events that take a place throughout the world, during 4-10 October . WSWA is pleased to announce the 2017 World Space Week Theme: "Exploring New Worlds in Space".
The 2017 World Space Week Theme is an outward facing theme that serves to inspire the World. It puts as a focal point astrobiology missions like New Horizons (NASA's first mission to Pluto and the Kuiper Belt); feats on engineering such as Lockheed Martin's Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (NASA's first spacecraft designed to facilitate long-duration, human-rated deep space exploration of new worlds) and efforts of New Space actors such as Space X (revolutionary space technology projects with ultimate goal of enabling people to inhabit other planets like Mars) and other entities with a vision for exploration and utilization of extraterrestrial resources, such as metals from asteroids, water from the Moon, and unlimited solar energy in Earth orbit.
From the first race to the South Pole, and first solo flight accross Atlantic, to the opening of a sea route from Europe to the East, exploration and adventures have always defined our very existence as inhabitants of planet Earth. World Space Week celebrations in 2017 will open-up avenues to improve the vast human knowledge and awareness of the clear benefits of space technology and its applications. This will also illustrate that our exploration potential has no end, and that the sky is not the limit for the many wonders of human discovery. Last year's inward looking theme "Remote sensing: Enabling our future" celebrated Earth Observation from the Space for the betterment of human race and witnessed a record-braking 2700+ events from a total of 86 participating countries. This made it by far the largest space celebration in history and we hope to surpass that in 2017!
According to the WSWA's Executive Director, Dr. Timiebi Aganaba-Jeanty, "This year's theme will enable the debates surrounding where we explore next, be it on Moon, Mars or even beyond, to inspire event organizers to set up exciting space exploration events at schools, universities, science centres, planetaria, astronomy clubs, companies, and even museums. By appealing to our human nature, which loves exploration and adventure, World Space Week 2017 could be the biggest ever." Anyone, from anywhere in the world, can create a World Space Week event. "Our 2017 theme is to be used as a guideline for creating events, however, WSWA accepts the registration of any space-related events, held between 4-10th October as an official World Space Week event" said Goran Nikolasevic, WSWA's Operations Manager.
WSW event organizers are encouraged to incorporate the theme and poster into their activities and promotional materials. To see the history of World Space Week themes, please click here.

Carole Contaut, a French mom, translated this article posted on the famous magasine " L'express" - 18 November 2011
You can see here the psychoanalytic vision of autism in this article
Autism: psychoanalysts prosecute a documentary filmmaker
Legal action has been taken over a documentary, "The Wall: psychoanalysis put to the test for Autism", which concludes to psychoanalysis' failure in treatment for autism.
Legal action over a documentary, "The Wall: psychoanalysis put to the test for Autism" has been taken. A first hearing has been held by the Lille Regional Court on November 15th. Three of the thirty psychoanalysts interviewed in this film, which has been available online http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xlowfu_the-wall-or-psychoanalysis-put-to-the-test-for-autism_news at for two months by now, ask for a ban on the documentary. They are claiming damages from documentary filmmaker and independent producer Sophie Robert in the amount of 290 000€
This 52 minute documentary is presented on the Autistes Sans Frontières website as "an authentic proof by reductio ad absurdum that the psychoanalytic approach of autism is inefficient". The plaintiffs, Eric Laurent, Esthela Solano et Alexandre Stevens, all members of the School of the Freudian Cause, feel they have been "tricked". The project has been put before them as a "journey into the unconscious" before it revealed itself as a controversial undertaking meant to ridicule psychoanalysis.They write in theirrequest : "the speakers' thoughts and speeches have been oversimplified and misrepresented by the comments and their meanings".
"Their statements have not been taken out of context"
This case comes at a time when mot associations representing people with autism and their families are denouncing the psychoanalytic approach of treatment of autism in France. For years they have been asking unsuccessfully for access to "educational" therapies which are extensively developed abroad. Quoted by Rue89, Delphine Piloquet, the General Delegate for Autistes Sans Frontière, highlights the toughness of their battle: ""It all gives the impression that we attack a religion of State. This film is stricken by a fatwa." A spoof website parodying the Lacanian thought, has stated the main parts of the controversy, with a touch of humour and an explicit title "Sang sur le Mur" (an untranslatable play on two French phrases : "sang sur le mur"/ "blood on the wall" and "censure "le Mur""/ censor "the Wall").
The judge has to make a first decision on November 29th, about the request for seizure of recordings, the film's raw material. Interviewed by L'Express, Mr. Christian Charrière-Bournazel, the plaintiffs' lawyer, explains that "my clients want to be able to watch the recordings and check the cut work that has been made of it" to justify this request. As a matter of fact, the case has started when documentary filmmaker Sophie Robert found a note stuck on her letter box, in the Lille Old Town building where she live and has established her production company, Océan Invisible Production. The noted mentioned a bailiff's phone number and urged her to call that number.
She met the bailiff on October 25th; he informed her of the current judicial procedure and requested to seize the recordings. Sophie Robert refused, regarding this request as "a violation of the confidentiality of journalistic sources". Indeed, apart the three plaintiffs, 24 other people have been interviewed in this documentary. She afterwards sent to the bailiff the written re-transcriptions of the recorded interviews with the three plaintiffs. "I have nothing to hide, "she says. "The statements of the three people involved have not been taken out of context; actually, they comply with the well-known, long-standing psychoanalytic views of treatment for autism."
Psychoanalysts in a deadlock towards autism
The merits of the case, that is the question of the film ban, will be dealt with during a second bail hearing on December 8th. The filmmaker's lawyer, M. Benoît Titran, insists in the importance of the debates upon this matter. "This is not about defamation; this is all about the image right", he analyses. "The plaintiffs delivered information and were properly informed of the purpose of the film. But they realized afterwards the scope of their statements; therefore they don't assume them anymore and they want to be able to reconsider the authorizations they gave. If the Court accepts their request, the basis of journalistic work will be undermined."
Beyond the fate of this documentary, what is raised once again in this trial is the question of the treatment of children with autism. The majority of the scientific community consider their pathology as a neurotic disorder, probably genetic in origin. Parents associations are currently struggling so that therapies meant to offset this disability, such as ABA or PECS, develop in France. But psychoanalysts keep on explaining autism as the result of a failed relationship between the child and his mother, regarded as either too fusional, or too cold.
Therefore, what can people with autism expect from psychoanalysis? Well-known therapists interviewed in this film, with breathtaking honesty, give us the impression that they are in the deadlock. "The pleasure of taking interest in a soap bubble," one of them answers after a long silence. Another explains later on: "With an autistic child, I do very little. What does very little mean? That I sit my butt down close to him, and I wait for something to happen." A third one says: "I try to win over the child. I'm stepping back." No one talks about packing, even though this method is based on psychoanalytic principles, but it's probably too controversial to be mentioned. It consists in wrapping the child in cold and damp blankets in order to soothe him. This treatment is regarded as "barbaric" by many associations.
By requesting for a ban of this controversial film, the three psychoanalysts are taking a risk: drawing the general public's attention to a film, where, the audience has remained so far essentially confined to autistic rights defenders.

Ronaldinho happy at Milan
Ronaldinho's brother and agent Roberto De Assis insists the Brazilian is happy at AC Milan.
By Francisco Acedo
Last Updated: 31/03/09 2:30pm
Ronaldinho is happy at current club AC Milan and is not interested in a move elsewhere, according to his brother and agent Roberto De Assis.
The Brazilian international was linked with a move to Manchester City alongside team-mate Kaka in January but in the end no concrete offer was made.
The former World Player of the Year only joined Milan from Barcelona in the summer but this has not stopped rumours regarding his future from circulating.
Despite the speculation De Assis insists that his brother has no wish to seek a move away from the San Siro. Although he has experienced a frustrating start to his Rossoneri career, thanks to injury, he is enjoying his first season with the club.
"Dinho is calm in Milan. The injuries damaged his progress in the beginning but they are a long time ago now," he told the ONA radio station in Barcelona.
"Now he is living in a new era, with another club, and Dinho is well and truly in the plans of Milan.
"It is not true that he is looking for a possible move away from Italy.
"The interest of Manchester City? Ronaldinho has a deal until June 2011 and it will be necessary to speak with Milan."
But De Assis refused to rule out a return to Barca, where he enjoyed five seasons prior to his move to Milan, in the future.
"Barcelona will always be a special city for us and Ronaldinho. It would make us happy to return to the club as we have many friends in the team," he added.

A key driver of the massive growth in mobile-device usage globally is the demand for mobile applications. However, because of continuous upgrades being made to operating system (OS) platforms by providers such as Apple Inc. and Google Inc., companies now need to constantly update their mobile apps as well.
The unpredictable nature of OS releases presents a challenge for many businesses. Companies now need to explore ways to turn this challenge into an opportunity, by planning for the future and putting systems in place to manage future upgrades. This means enterprises require a considered strategy for supporting their mobile applications when they go live in the providers' app stores.
Mobile devices have a huge impact on how people communicate with each other―and on the way businesses operate. Indeed, the number of mobile phone subscribers is expected to outnumber the world's population by the end of 2013, and the main driver of this growth is the demand for mobile apps.
To differentiate themselves from their competitors, OS platform providers introduce compelling new features across multiple releases each year. This means enterprises have to manage release schedules that can be unpredictable, and cater to new apps and upgrades that operate across platforms.
Upgrading apps to make them compatible with new versions of mobile OS platforms and new devices—known as preventive maintenance or "forward porting"—is challenging for a variety of reasons. For example, every time an OS platform is updated, apps need to go through a recertification process before the upgraded app can be released. This process is time consuming and can substantially add to the cost of multiple app releases.
Mobile apps are driving massive mobile growth
Mobility tools, such as smartphones and tablets, are essential for many companies. However, companies need to constantly update their mobile apps because of upgrades made to operating system (OS) platforms. OS providers, such as Apple Inc. and Google Inc., are continuously upgrading their platforms to stay competitive (see figure below). This means enterprises need a considered strategy for supporting their mobile applications when they go live in the providers' app stores.
Apps don't stay still
OS platform providers introduce compelling new features across multiple releases each year. This means enterprises should manage release schedules that can be unpredictable, and cater to new apps (and upgrades) that operate across platforms. Many enterprises find it difficult to estimate the amount of effort required to forward port to upgraded OS platforms.
Working with vendors
External vendors can play a critical role in helping companies manage forward porting. However, in working with vendors, enterprises need to use a flexible pricing model that can vary with the level of work required for each OS upgrade and the volume of upgrades in a given period. Old pricing models, such as those based on time and materials, are unlikely to be cost effective given the varying demands presented by OS upgrades.
These considerations make it difficult to prepare for changes to OS platforms. But if companies don't plan for forward porting of apps, they risk losing their competitive advantage.
Accenture recommends that enterprises take the following preparatory steps in order to forward port their apps more rapidly:
Create a plan
Identify automation opportunities
Build a repository of porting solutions
Standardize processes and tools
Create a flexible commercial model
By being as prepared as possible, enterprises can harness the growing demand for mobile apps to retain and add customers, boost productivity and build a sustainable competitive advantage in a rapidly evolving marketplace. As the old adage goes, failing to prepare is like preparing to fail.

Man killed in drive-by, 3 are held
A driver in his 20s was killed by gunfire from another car at a busy Roxbury intersection, prompting a quick chase and the detention of three possible suspects as state troopers boxed in a vehicle on Interstate 93, police said.
The victim and a female passenger were on Southampton Street near Melnea Cass Boulevard at 6:45 p.m. when a car pulled alongside and someone opened fire. The victim, hit several times, lost control of his Honda, which struck another car before it stopped.
A witness who declined to give his name said he ran to the car and pulled the emergency brake, afraid the car would keep rolling. He said the passenger was screaming, but unharmed. He said the driver, shot in the torso, was still alive.
"He said 'I love you,' to the girl," the man said. The man was declared dead at Boston Medical Center, only a few hundred yards away. Officers were nearby and spotted the suspected shooter's car fleeing. The car was stopped on I-93 near Freeport Street, and police searched for evidence along I-93 South. Three men were held for questioning, but no charges were immediately filed.

Almost 30 people have been taken to hospital following a five-vehicle motorway crash.
A bus and four other vehicles were involved in the collision on the eastbound M4 between junctions 34 and 33 to the west of Cardiff, South Wales Police said.
A total of 28 casualties were taken to the University Hospital of Wales, Royal Glamorgan and Princess of Wales hospitals either by road or air ambulance.

Just like their first location, Actual Brewing Co. is opening a nondescript location in Clintonville, in what used to be an old flower shop, according to the Columbus Dispatch.
The space will house a restaurant and 10-barrel brewing system, according to the Dispatch, and their menu will feature what are sure to be deliciously "high end" sloppy joe sandwiches.
The place is set to early winter or late spring, and though the N. High Street location is hard to see from the street, it lends well to Actual's first location and keeps pace with it's out-of-the-way tradition.
This weekend Actual Brewing Co. is hosting Wienerfest 2016, a fest of well…they said it best, "Oktoberfest is the annual celebration of the 1810 wedding of Bavarian Prince Ludwig I to Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen. Wienerfest is the annual celebration of hot dogs."

I have over 300 music tracks I would like to upload to 5 different playists on my Android mobile.
Basically I want to transfer playlists from my PC to a targeted Android playlist.
The only option I can do now is:
1. Upload 300+ media files from my PC to the Android's "Recently Added" work area.
2. Once there, I would have to manually copy 1 by 1 each media track from "recently added" to my predefined Android playlist.
I looked in the software Moborobo. Great interface, but will only upload media files to your Recently Added work area.
There is no transfer of PC playlist to Android Playlist using Moborobo.
When I had a LG Android phone, I used LG PC Suite software interface. Using this, you could interface your PC playlist with the Android and upload each playlist seamlessly to it's specified target. However LG PC Suite only works with LG models.
Is there any freeware software available that works similar to LG PC Suite?
Or is there a "out of the box" manual procedure I can streamline the upload & transfer to my targeted playlists w/o going through the single copy option. I am not to concern about syncing. As I will always overly a fresh copy.


text: What's the best app that would come close to the BB profile manager? I'd like to have presets for "work" (vibe only), "car" (loud ring), "sleep" (LED only). Also, it would be great to be able to edit the vibrate pattern. I don't need 6 vibes, just one for certain notifications, two for others, etc. Any recommendations?

Grading Miami Heat's NBA Season-Best 17th Straight Win vs. Philadelphia 76ersMarch 8, 2013
Grading Miami Heat's NBA Season-Best 17th Straight Win vs. Philadelphia 76ers
The Miami Heat extended their franchise-best winning streak to 17 games with a 102-93 victory over the visiting Philadelphia 76ers.
With the win, the Heat (46-14) matched the Los Angeles Clippers for the longest winning streak of the 2012-13 season and they're over halfway to the all-time NBA record of 33 set by the 1971-72 Lakers.
The Heat also became the first team in the NBA to clinch a playoff berth this season.
LeBron James led Miami with 25 points and 10 rebounds and Dwyane Wade added 22 points as the Heat officially clinched a playoff spot.
But their streak appeared at least in slight jeopardy as the Heat once again sputtered out of the gate against an inferior opponent. Ultimately, though, they had too much talent for the Andrew Bynum-less 76ers (23-38) to overcome.
Early on, MVP front-runner LeBron James could do no wrong. He willed the Heat to a 28-24 lead after the first quarter despite getting next to nothing from his supporting cast.
While they did their best to keep Philly All-Star Jrue Holiday off the scoreboard (two points, 0-of-5 from the field in the first half), they couldn't keep the Sixers' supporting cast in check. Spencer Hawes and Thaddeus Young combined for 26 points and eight rebounds through two quarters.
After building that first-quarter lead, Miami struggled mightily in James' absence. Ray Allen poured in an efficient nine first-half points (4-of-4 from the field), but Wade and Chris Bosh looked more like volume scorers (14 points on 13 field-goal attempts in the first half).
On the strength of its 27-19 second-quarter edge, Philadelphia carried a 51-47 lead into the locker room. Miami raised its defensive intensity in the third quarter, but a pair of threes from former Heat player Dorell Wright in the final two minutes left the Sixers within one after 36 minutes.
Once the fourth quarter started, Miami ramped up its defensive effort, outscoring the Sixers, 26-18, in the final period.
The Heat haven't lost at American Airlines Arena since falling to the Chicago Bulls on Jan. 4, a streak of 13 straight victories. The Sixers, meanwhile, lost for the 11th time in their last 12 games.
Point Guard: Mario Chalmers
Sharing the ball-handling duties with three other players (James, Wade and Norris Cole) often keeps Mario Chalmers from major statistical outbursts.
Friday night was no exception, as the fifth-year guard finished with just eight points and four assists in 22 minutes.
Even still, it's hard not to be impressed by his efficient offensive approach. He hit three of his four field-goal attempts and two of his three long-range looks.
But his main concern in this game wasn't on the offensive end. He was tasked with slowing down All-Star Jrue Holiday, and kept the rising star from ever finding his offensive rhythm.
Holiday still finished with 13 assists, but never found any comfort in his jumper. He shot just 3-of-11 from the field and failed to reach double digits for the first time in his last six games.
Grade: B
Shooting Guard: Dwyane Wade
Wade had a rough showing in the first half, converting only two of his six field-goal attempts.
But like his teammates, he woke up after intermission. He shot a blistering 7-of-10 from the field in the second half., with six of his seven made field goals coming within the paint.
He deserves a lot of credit for recognizing that his jump shot wasn't falling and making a determined effort to attack the basket.
He did get out of control on his drives a few times (four turnovers) and had an unusually quiet night on the glass (two rebounds). But he still demanded enough defensive attention to leave James with open driving lanes.
Defensively, he spent a large portion of the night as a rover, with Charles Jenkins not posing a serious offensive threat and Evan Turner struggling to find his rhythm (4-of-13 from the floor). That allowed him to be his typical pesky self, tallying three steals and a block in his 35 minutes.
Grade: A-
Small Forward: LeBron James
This is where James has now raised the bar—he had a quiet night by his standards and still finished with 25 points, 10 boards, five assists, two blocks and a steal.
He did a solid job of reading his teammates, knowing when to attack and when to defer.
Even though his teammates weren't holding defenders, he still bullied his way through the defense when he decided to drive. When a screen left him in a mismatch with Spencer Hawes near the three-point line, James cracked a little smile before racing to the basket for an and-one finish.
If Miami's streak looked in serious jeopardy, he wiped away those concerns with a buzzer-beating three to close out the third quarter.
Apparently, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra felt that sense of relief as he pulled James with the Heat up eight and eight minutes left in regulation. James would not be needed the rest of the night.
Grade: A
Power Forward: Udonis Haslem
Haslem's the definition of a garbageman, ugly on the stat sheet and often brilliant on the floor.
Frankly, he just wasn't needed much in this game. He attempted just one field goal (a point-blank layup created by beating the Philly defenders down the floor) and corralled four rebounds in his 16 minutes.
Beyond the box score, though, he had a fairly impressive night.
As the Heat threatened to break the game open in the third quarter, Chalmers had a careless turnover near midcourt. Despite a racing 7'1", 245-pound Hawes headed in his direction, Haslem simply braced for impact and absorbed a heavy collision, drawing an offensive foul.
His rebounding numbers weren't spectacular, but the veteran showed a good sense of his position on the floor and sealed off his man from getting to the glass. He struggled at times defending the athletic Thaddeus Young (25 points, 12-of-15 from the field), but was crisp in his defensive rotations.
Grade: B-
Center: Chris Bosh
Hawes isn't a typical back-to-the-basket big man, but he still held a hard-to-miss size advantage over Bosh.
And early on, that clearly bothered the Heat center. He tried to pull Hawes away from the basket, but his errant mid-range jumpers failed to move Hawes out of the paint.
Later in the game, though, he found ways to use his quickness to his advantage beating the slower Hawes to the basket. He converted a beautiful spinning layup on an and-one with a little over three minutes left in the game, then flashed his soft touch on a hook shot two minutes later.
While he needed 14 shots to get his 16 points, he had the right plan of attack. He just wasn't always finishing on those drives.
If not for a team-wide determination to hit the glass (the Heat had a 39-33 edge in rebounding), Bosh's four boards in 31 minutes would look pretty awful. As it is, they still reveal a hint of whatever minimal vulnerability the Heat may have.
Grade: C+
Sixth Man: Ray Allen
Allen was the lone bench player keeping the Heat within striking distance during Philly's second-quarter charge.
And it wasn't just the fact that he was scoring (he's been doing that for 17 years now), but rather the ways in which he was finding his points.
He finished the night with 12 points, which normally might mean he hit at least three from long distance. But only one of his field goals came from the perimeter.
He moved well without the basketball, catching his defender off guard on a few occasions. He awakened the AAA crowd late in the first half with a vintage one-handed flush on the fast break. His lone basket of the second half came on a nifty hook shot in the lane.
At this stage in his career, he's not stuffing too many stat sheets. But his first-half offense was clearly one of the keys to this win.
Grade: B+
Rest of Miami's Bench
Chris Andersen continued to show why he's one of the most underrated midseason acquisitions in this game. He gave the Heat a defensive presence near the basket (two blocks), hustled well on both ends of the floor and put on a "back-tapping" display that would have made Tyson Chandler proud.
But there may not have been a more valuable reserve on this night than Shane Battier. His stat sheet was stuffed with goodies (11 points, six rebounds, two assists and a steal) and he even found a way to score inside the three-point line, dropping in a hook shot in the fourth quarter.
Norris Cole had a quiet night (two points, two assists, two rebounds and two steals in 25 minutes), but still made a few impactful hustle plays with his athleticism.
Grade: B

This study assesses the unique chemistry of the Spring River of Arkansas. The Spring River supports one of the most diverse fish fauna in the south-central region of the United States and is an economic base for this region of Arkansas. The mouth of the Spring River in northeast Arkansas is located at Mammoth Spring where 34 million L of water per hour flow out of the spring mouth at a constant temperature of about 15°C. This slightly alkaline, high-Ca water, "warm" end member mixes with cooler downstream waters derived primarily from surface runoff. The variation in temperature and activity of complexing ligands leads to speciation of metals. We examined the temporal and spatial variations in metal species abundances and found that the availability of toxic forms of metals such as Pb, V, Cd, and Cu is highest during base flow and decreases at times of high runoff. Bioavailability of toxic metal species, in the context of ecotoxicology, was also explored. Metal content in fish gills, liver, and muscle was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. These concentrations were compared to the chemistry of dissolved load, with particular attention to the relative abundance of metal species. This study establishes the link between metal accumulation in predatory fish with high abundances of bioavailable metals in regions of the river dominated by base flow.

I have a Archon Wiz with 5500 Armor and 900 resists along with 230K Damage when in Archon and MP 4 gets hairy and 5 is just red gear. Id like a class that can farm those pretty easily for some good drops. Id have to spend like 600+ million on gear to be able to get my Wiz to that point but I just dont have it. Is there an easy class that doesnt require a billion gold to be able to easily do mid level MPs. Also please no WW barb. Im willing to roll another Barb again but I tried WW and hated it. It just wasnt for me, no matter how much I forced myself to enjoy the build I just couldnt, and eventually just rage quit and deleted him. If they have viable 2 Handed builds thats fine, but NO WW!.

We would like to thank all of this year's participants. It's amazing to read the many ways in which the artworks of our Municipal collection, as well as our Public Art, inspire such creative stories and poems.
We would also like to thank our five contest judges. They were Ventura County Poet Laureate Phil Taggart, Ventura County Librarian Irma Morales, Ventura Poet Richard Newsham, Ventura Library Advisory Commissioner Debbie Giles and Community Partnerships Manager Denise Sindelar. The judges received all entries "blind"-- i.e., identified only by (1) a number, (2) the artwork that inspired it, (3) the prose or poetry category and (4) the age group of the writer.
Entries are accepted each year. Check back on this page for more information on the 2018 Art Tales Contest.

The City of Ventura is pleased to sponsor the annual creative contest open to all writers worldwide in partnership with E.P. Foster Library located at 651 East Main Street in downtown Ventura. The contest invites imaginative writers of all ages to compose a short story or poem (500 words maximum) inspired by one of the artworks currently on exhibit at the library from the Municipal Art Collection. These selections from the City Hall collection are rotated annually to a special second floor exhibit space near the library's rear (children's) entrance in an effort to make them more accessible to the community.
The Municipal Art Collection, on permanent exhibit in City Hall, continues to be an important attraction for both residents and visitors. Since its inception in 1999, the collection has grown to include 92 works by 71 artists, each of whom have made a significant contribution to the history of visual art in Ventura County - a main criterion of acquisition. The Municipal Art Acquisition Program through its Municipal Art Acquisition Committee, a sub-committee of the Public Art Commission, oversees the purchase of new artworks. The Municipal Art Collection showcases the breadth and diversity of Ventura County's visual art community through the representation of multiple media, including sculpture, painting, photography, etching, and ceramics. The entire collection may be viewed online. For more information contact Denise Sindelar at 805-658-4793, or email.
