text: 2014 AMA Pro Road Racing Season Preview Larry Lawrence | March 11, 2014In 2014 the AMA Pro Road Racing schedule is down to the lowest number of race weekends in 35 years. And to date there has been no TV package announced and factory participation is at a low level not seen since the mid-1980s. There's even a new alternative pro series springing up, harkening back to the days when Formula USA thrived during a lull in AMA Superbike racing. Yet in spite of the gloomy pre-season outlook of the overall health of America's motorcycle road racing championship, the news is not all bad.We may in fact be set to see one of the most competitive Superbike championships in years. The most obvious battle is the one between the main factory teams of Yamaha and Suzuki, but there will be little subtexts that will be interesting to watch as well.In addition, since wunderkind Cameron Beaubier is finally coming up to Superbike, a move many thought should have happened last year, fans will finally get to see if America's best hope to eventually move up to GP racing is the real deal. Can he be as good as he appeared to be in the Daytona SportBike class?For the sake of American racing one can only hope. Much like Ben Spies with Mat Mladin, one thing is certain, if Beaubier someday does move on the GP racing and becomes a star on the world stage, his battles this season against a rider of Josh Hayes' caliber will have provided him the essential experience needed to make it to the next level.Yamaha's Hayes, the three-time AMA Superbike Champion, is back and he's in a nasty mood. Losing last year's title to teammate Josh Herrin by way of a spate of bad luck, bad starts and broken machines, Hayes will be eager to regain the title he felt should have been his for a fourth time last season. At 38 (he'll turn 39 in April) there is some question if father time will finally start to catch up with Hayes, but don't count on it. He is supremely fit and one of the hardest training riders in the history of the championship. In fact, Herrin said on particularly hot and humid weekends he would look across the grid at Hayes and all he could think of was how many miles Hayes had put in on his bicycle that week. He's that fit.When I called Hayes to ask him his thoughts on the season he was, as you might guess, out on his bicycle training.Hayes said he is eager to get the season started and see where everyone stands. You can tell he's most intrigued by his new teammate Beaubier.To read more of the AMA Pro Road Racing season preview in this week's Cycle News, click hereLarry Lawrence | Archives EditorIn addition to writing our Archives section on a weekly basis, Lawrence is another who is capable of covering any event we throw his way.

Administration of local anesthesia prior to castration and dehorning is legislated in several European countries, however, there are currently no analgesic drugs specifically approved for pain relief in livestock by the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA), says Hans Coetzee, BVSc, Cert CHP, PhD Kansas State University.
FDA Guidance Document 123 for the development of effectiveness data for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) states that "validated methods of pain assessment must be used in order for a drug to be indicated for pain relief in the target species."
Coetzee explains that the identification and validation of robust, repeatable pain measurements is therefore fundamental for the development and approval of effective analgesic drug regimens for use in livestock. "Research to address our limited knowledge in this area is therefore essential to formulating science-based recommendations."
Methods that have been used to assess pain in cattle after procedures such as castration include behavior, production parameters and cortisol response. However, these methods are imperfect indicators of measurable pain responses.
Newer methods of measuring pain include measuring Substance P (a neuropeptide present in areas of the
neuroaxis involved in the integration of pain, stress and anxiety) and using tools such as accelerometers (to measure standing, walking, lying time), radar speed cameras (to measure the speed of cattle exiting the chute) and EEGs (to quantify some of the changes in brain activity associated with pain following castration).
Coetzee notes that the results of a castration study with Holstein calves showed that EEG is a sensitive and specific measure of changes in brain electrical behavior associated with castration. One of the major benefits of using this technology is that this is readily accepted by consumers because it is widely used in the medical field, he says. This tool would thus be useful to determine the effect of age and method of castration and therefore formulating science-based animal welfare regulations.
Pain and multiple procedures
The preliminary results of a USDA-funded study conducted by Ruby Mosher, DVM, MBA, a graduate student at Kansas State University, suggest that calves experiencing dehorning alone or dehorning and castration at the same time have lower average daily weight gains over seven days following the procedure compared with calves experiencing only castration.
In order to address questions about the optimal timing and method of castration, Kansas State's Lucy Bergamasco, DVM, PhD, will be applying her expertise in electrophysiology to the questions of animal welfare which are associated with routine husbandry of domestic livestock. In an important series of upcoming studies, Bergamasco's expertise will be combined with that of other researchers in the study group to examine the effect of timing and age at castration on EEG responses in calves.

New York City -- From a local cheese shop founded by a career changer, to a specialty supermarket that has expanded to more than 100 locations without sacrificing its commitment to quality and customer service, the winners of the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade's (NASFT) Outstanding Specialty Food Retailers of 2011 awards are a diverse group.
"Each honoree exemplifies the hallmarks of specialty food retailing in a unique way," said Ann Daw, president of the NASFT, which will present the awards on July 11, at its Summer Fancy Food Show in Washington, D.C.
Here's a brief look at this year's winners, who were selected by a panel of specialty food experts convened by the NASFT:
- Central Market: Since opening in 1994, this Dallas-based merchant has expanded to eight stores offering more than 50,000 items, including produce, specialty foods, bakery and deli. The company prides itself on providing customers with unique items in unexpected ways, such as allowing samples of anything in the store and offering year-round cooking classes.
- Fromagination: Based in Madison, Wis., founded by a former footwear buyer whose international travels exposed him to the great food markets of Europe, Fromagination presents a carefully-edited selection of 400 items. The cheeses include dozens from local food artisans. The store, on Capitol Square in Madison, Wis., is across from one of the nation's largest farmers markets.
- Olives Gourmet Grocer: Two veterans of Whole Foods Markets started their own specialty store in 2004 to fill a niche in Long Beach, Calif., with high-quality foods from lesser-known producers. Their specialty food savvy has helped them expand to a second, larger, location, and soon a third. Customer loyalty is a key to success, but Olives also is a popular tourist draw.
- The Cheese Iron: A European-style specialty shop, housed in an antique farmhouse in Portland, Maine, The Cheese Iron offers more than 200 domestic and international cheeses. Opened in 2006, the store sells cheese making supplies and classes, an olive bar, wine, pâté and freshly baked bread. There's also an on-site cheese cave.
- The Fresh Market: Based in Greensboro, N.C., The Fresh Market blends the variety and vastness of a large chain with the expertise and quality of a smaller-scale specialty food store. The key is continual innovation, close ties to food producers, and a commitment to community involvement. The family-owned business has 100 locations in 21 states.
- ZZest Market & Café: Founded in 2009 by two food professionals, this Rochester, Minn., specialty retailer is a market by day and restaurant by night. ZZest offers a welcome addition to an area that was lacking in options for food lovers. The shelves are stocked with products from small-scale, local producers and vendors from other states with items like charcuterie from Iowa and chutneys from California. The café fare features ingredients from the store's shelves.

Hi everybody !
Started with diving in the Military 30 Years ago but still fascinated of all aspects of technical diving. Right now I`m using the new Poseidon CIS Lunar MK VI with some little helpful Refits and also diving with my "old" Buddy Dolphin, but also as a complete Refit. I like Rebreather-Diving not only because of all the known advantages when under water but also the technical and mechanical aspects of it.
Soon I will issue some pictures of my equipment and my private improvements I build in.

NGT notices to Patancheru Pharma units
By Express News Service | Published: 12th November 2013 08:19 AM |
Last Updated: 12th November 2013 08:19 AM | A+A A- |
The National Green Tribunal has ordered notices to pharma units and the Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board (APPCB) on a petition seeking to restrain production of drugs in the Patancheru industrial belt in Medak district.
The petitioner alleged that the bulk drug manufacturer had been producing drugs for which the company had not obtained valid licences and was letting untreated and partially treated effluents into various water bodies.
In his petition, K Chidambarum, president of the Citizens Forum For Better Patancheru Constituency said that in 2012, he made a representation to the Andhra Pradesh High Court highlighting the plight of villagers in Kazipalli, Sultanpur and 15 surrounding villages on the banks of Nakka Vagu, which was converted into a PIL by the court.
Bulk drug manufacturers, in total disregard of environment norms, had discharged untreated effluents into the rivulet, causing widespread pollution. They also built an illegal sump with check dam above Jillela Vagu and started discharging into that sump. When this was taken up with the APPCB, the board directed the companies to treat their effluents in a common treatment plant.
However, the check dam was breached in April last year, causing heavy pollution. Later, the board issued orders for remediation, which too were followed inadequately. This resulted in several closure orders.
In the meantime, this order of the board was challenged before the appellate authority, in which the petitioner impleaded himself as a party as per the orders of the High Court in the PIL. The authority, however, passed a common order suspending the closure orders and leaving it to the state government to take a policy decision on the representations of the manufacturers against the order of the board.
Therefore, the petitioner was forced to knock the doors of the NGT. Admitting the petition, the southern bench ordered notice to respondents returnable by December 4.

STORRS, Conn. (February 1, 2008) - The University of Connecticut women's track and field team will travel to Yale University this weekend to compete at the Giegengack Invitational, held at Coxe Cage and the Frank Shorter '69 indoor track, on Friday and Saturday in New Haven, Conn.
The Giegengack Invitational, named for the legendary Yale coach Bob Giegengack, will include national caliber competition, including many Northeast Region teams from both Division I and Division II institutions.
"Coming off the Penn State National Invitational, the team has been able to work on specific and individual concerns in practice for the march toward the championship season," said head coach Bill Morgan. "Fine tuning in technique and mental preparation in individual focus are significant at this point."
Considered the heart and soul of the program, senior tri-captain, Tamara Highsmith (East Haven, Conn.) is continuing her surge to nationals in the triple jump as she is currently ranked sixth in the nation while ranked seventh in the pentathlon.
Sophomore Tynisha McMillian (Bridgeport, Conn.) has also come up big for the Huskies this season as she has dominated competition in both the shot put and the weight throw this season. Freshman sprint standout Trisha Hawthorne (Elmsford, N.Y.) has continued to add to the success of the Husky program this year while classmates Olga Ponomarenko (Concord, Mass.) and Ellen Powers (Hudson, N.H.) have performed well in the jumps.
Leah Andrianos (East Syracuse, N.Y.) and Meghan Cunningham (Simsbury, Conn.) should continue to add to a much improved middle distance group.
"Qualifying marks and improvement on performance standings become significant in our minds with only several opportunities available," said Morgan. "We are in great position right now and very excited to compete."
Events will begin at 6:00 p.m. on Friday and will continue on Saturday with field events starting at 9:30 a.m. and running events at 12:30 p.m.

I know. It doesnt make sense to me either. Maybe he just wants me to pick her up and leave. I was offering to stay and help.
Its just little things like that that make me think things. Like I say I love him and he doesnt say it back.

Police are crediting a GPS tracking device attached to a parolee with helping them crack a bank heist.
Santa Clara police say Garry Lee Damon is being held on suspicion of bank robbery after Damon's parole agent determined that he was at a Citibank branch at the same time the bank was held up Monday afternoon.
Santa Clara police Lt. Phil Cooke says Damon came under suspicion after investigators shared a bank surveillance photo of the suspect with a parole agent. When the agent recognized Damon as one his parolees, he checked the tracking device.
Damon had been wearing the GPS as a condition of his release from prison.
The Megan's Law database shows the 47-year-old Damon had served time after being convicted of assault with intent to commit rape.

It's safe to add Crespi's Jalen Starks to the list of top young football players in the Serra League.
The 6-foot-2, 235 pounder made the most of his coming-out party Friday in a 32-14 Serra League victory against Loyola at Valley College.
Starks gained 183 yards on 20 carries with three touchdowns as he outperfomed Loyola's standout running back, Nico Evans.
"It was mostly coaching," Starks said. "We had a bye week and we had a great week of practice. We applied what we did in practice to the game."
Starks started and finished well for Crespi, which endured a tough slate of nonleague games against the likes of Salpointe Catholic (Ariz.), Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) and Vista Murrieta.
Starks capped a 10 play, 80-yard drive with a 17-yard touchdown early in the first quarter and sealed the game with a 63-yard touchdown run with 1:32 remaining.
"It was just the vibe of the game was great," Starks said. "I got amazing blocking and we executed really well. We played smash-mouth football. We did our Celt thing."
Crespi coach Troy Thomas couldn't have been more pleased with Starks' effort.
"He's actually been our scout team tailback week after week," Thomas said. "He's getting tougher and tougher. He has a bright future ahead of him."
As well as everything was going for Crespi, it was equally as bad for Loyola, which was coming off two impressive victories against Valencia and Alemany.
Evans fumbled on the first snap from scrimmage for the Cubs (4-4, 1-1), who went three-and-out on their next two series, didn't gain a first down until just under the two-minute mark in the second quarter, had an interception in the third quarter and had a punt touch a player which Crespi recovered.
Crespi took over on the Loyola 13-yard line and three players later, Srarks tumbled in from 1-yard out to make the score 26-7 with 9:30 remaining.
"We are really excited about the win," Thomas said. "We handled it the right way, too. That is a well-coached, well-disciplined team and Evans is a heck of a back. We came to play tonight."
Crespi's Conor McMahan completed 11 of 18 passes for 148 yards, made some key completions on third down and didn't turn the ball over.
"He's getting better and better each week," Thomas said.
Evans gained 111 yards on 25 carries but did not score.
He had gained 188 yards against Valencia two weeks ago and had 238 yards on 34 carries last week against Alemany.
Loyola's Tre Polamlau threw for 154 yards, including scoring strikes of 37 yards to Mekai Sheffie and 40-yards to David Long.
Crespi still has to play Notre Dame and Alemany.
"We learned from our preseason," Thomas said. "It definitely got us ready."

The Brookwood Necropolis Railwayby John M. Clarke. Published by The Oakwood Press, P.O.Box 122, Headington, Oxford OX3 8LU, England. 1995. viii, 120 pp. Drawings and photographs. Paperback. £8.95. Fax. 011-441-1865-875322, telephone 011-441-1865-874080 Visa and M/C accepted.
The "London Necropolis" was intended to become London's only cemetery by providing enough land to contain all the metropolitan dead for an almost indefinite period. It was established to solve London's burial problem. The city's population had more than doubled between 1801 and 1851, while the burial grounds remained stable in size. This led to congestion and inappropriate burial practices.
The London Necropolis Company was established in 1852 and provided the Brookwood cemetery near Woking in Surrey. A special train service was established on the London & South Western Railway between Waterloo and Brookwood. This service operated until the destruction of the terminus in WWII.
This book discusses in detail the process by which bodies and the funeral followers were transported to the Brookwood cemetery, how that differed depending upon the deceased standing in society, and what costs were involved. The cemetery layout, railway equipment and stations are well illustrated.
A superb book if your ancestors worked on this railway or were buried in this cemetery and you want to know how they got there.
If you have located your railway ancestor and want to know more about the railway on which they worked then contact this company for their catalog of over 150 titles of books and videos dealing with specific railways around the country.

Welcome, this is my first guide. My best characters and favorite characters are Morgana and Ashe. LeBlanc is quickly becoming number three in that short list. I unlocked LeBlanc with IP about a day after she came out, and I've been playing her a lot in her first week of release. I came to Leaguecraft on 11/06/2010 and almost all the guides had negative reviews. I did see two that have a positive reviews. Even the guides with positive reviews the author's still pointed out there was still work to be done for their guides as they were holding off on playing her more before adding more ideas. I'm hoping to add a guide that presents a little more variety and thought on LeBlanc. The abilities section gives a lot of tips on how use them in the early or laning phase. If you are more interested in uses for team fighting skip down to that section. I may from time to time refer to LeBlanc as LB just FYI. If you are wondering about the guide title, LeBlanc is from Noxus (the dark, grimy, and evil city-state.) She is also a part of Noxus's shadow government called the Black Rose, yet her name is "the white" in French. "The white" would not be my first choice of name for a champion given that background.
If you are interested in a straight DPS build you can look at the Pure AP build for maximum AP, but I do not recommend it. All the AP in the world won't help your team if you die immediately in a team fight.
Common Acronyms I use in this guide:
LB = LeBlanc

Update 04/04/2011
I have made some minor updates. I added a little bit to side lane vs. solo to expand a little on why I prefer the side lane. I also fixed the icons for Rylai's Crystal Scepter. Still working on videos. I have a bunch of clips taking out just need to categorize them and thinking of adding voice overs.
Update 03/01/2011
Ethereal Chains ability power ratio increased to 0.5 from 0.4 for both damage components. A nice little buff. This doesn't change much for Leblanc. Early to mid game is still going to be where she dominates. I thought Leblanc was in a pretty good place, but if Riot wants to buff her I'm not going to complain.
Update 01/04/2011
Leblanc got a slight attack damage buff so should make farming a little easier, but I'm skeptical. Zhonya's Ring is no longer an item and I was going to change the item builds, but leaguecraft doesn't seem to have the new items implemented here yet. Basically, Zhonya's Hourglass for physical damage instead of Zhonya's ring and Rabadon's Deathcap for damage.
Update 01/01/2011
Core items changed. Glithen, a friend of mine, suggested a 2 Kage's Lucky Pick build to me and has become my usual core build. I also have redone item build section. Each build has a section to itself and a suggested build order.
Update 2010
I have put in some videos that will hopefully showcase how to use LeBlanc to kill in the lane, escape, and team fight. I know they are kinda short. I hope to add more to them as I get the hang of my video editor.
Also the latest patch has undone some of the hotfix changes. They put her armor per level back up to pre-hot fix. Her ultimate cool down now scales down as it levels 40/35/30. Before the hotfix it was just 30 seconds and after just 40.

Mirror Image When LeBlanc is brought below 40% health, she instantly becomes stealthed for half a second. When the stealth fades, she creates a Mirror Image that deals no damage and lasts for up to 8 seconds. This can only occur once per minute.
This passive is really hit or miss. Sometimes its useful as people will attack the image in their haste to get a kill, a misclick, or they really weren't paying attention. I will say that in one game I had a Warwick ultimate my mirror image.
I have few useful tips on using this effectively.
Most people have figured out that mirror image tends to stand still or delays for a second in copying LeBlanc's movements. I have learned to use this my advantage. When mirror image pops up I stand still and have my image move like I'm dodging or go attack a creep.
Another trick is to criss-cross with your image as you click towards where it is and then alt+right-click over where the real you is. You can do a couple quick ones and then get in for a harass before it poofs.
Mirror Image makes a great early warning system if you are like me and tend to get too focused on getting a kill. The image will pop up when I am chasing, team fighting, or doing a very aggressive harass, and I know then it is usually time to GTFO. There are exceptions to this, but it works great as a general rule of thumb. Mirror image popping up definitely means do not stick around for long. LeBlanc is very squishy and having a little reminder that "I'M ALMOST DEAD!" can mean the difference between a death or you getting away.
[spell=Sigil of Silence] Sigil of Silence - LeBlanc projects an orb towards her target, dealing magic damage and marking the target for 3.5 seconds. If the target takes damage from one of LeBlanc's abilities, the sigil will trigger, dealing damage and silencing the target.

LeBlanc's main nuke and harass skill. Does a decent chunk of damage and has about a 2-3 sec cooldown.
Hit the squishiest character in your lane with it repeatedly to zone them out or maybe even get an early kill. The main use of it as soon as you hit level 2 is to get that extra damage and silence in combination with distortion. Target squishy hit q, hit w and hit same squishy with distortion AoE and hit w to go back. If they are low and your laning partner is quick or you set it up ahead of time then instead of using distortion to go back hit Ethereal Chains and try to lock them down or hit q again for the kill.
Its also interesting to note that if you use q and target someone out of range and then distortion into range q will still happen once you are in range. This is very useful if you can't combo harass those pesky ranged champions in your lane.
Distortion Distortion - LeBlanc rapidly moves to a target location, dealing magic damage to nearby units. In the following 3 seconds, she can activate Distortion again to return to her starting location.

This skill makes LeBlanc such a huge harasser in the laning phase. It basically adds distortion's range to all her attacks and lets you blink back out of harm's way in a couple seconds.
Obviously, it also lets you escape ganks and even more so when LB gets Mimic.
I mentioned already the main harass q+w or q+w+e+q combo above so let's talk about some other fun uses. It should be noted that these other uses are generally things I will do when left with no other alternative to accomplish the task because of the 12 second cooldown on distortion. I generally dislike not having my escape plan open to me for that long.
Checking bushes, that's right w in and out to check a bush. You'll get to see who's there and be out of harms way before the Garen in there can react or if he does run from the spinning doom. I generally do this when I'm alone in a lane and I don't see anyone else and I want some peace of mind to get a few creep kills.
Farming - see farming section below.
Going through walls with distortion. This here is really tricky probably because everyone is so used to flash where its hit button and click in the direction you want to go. This doesn't work well with LeBlanc. It takes a little positioning and care.
Note how in the picture below the range circle goes just beyond wall the AoE target circle overlaps at the edge.
And now the result...
Now here the same area of Summoner's rift. In the picture below I have moved slighty so the range circle is right at the edge of the wall but not over the egde of it.
And the result....
To show this more clearly watch the video below as I get away from Xin by distorting through the wall to the jungle. Look for the range circle edge and how its over the wall.
Why? because the range needs to be a little beyond the wall. With this in mind there are a lot of walls LeBlanc can distortion through. This includes the back wall of baron and dragon and base walls as shown below.
I personally recommend just practicing this in a custom game to figure out where you can get through and where you need to be to do such things. Here are a couple more shots of what is possible. If you get that range circle just a little over the wall. Its going to be hard to do especially in game when Warwick is chasing you down with blood scent but practice will help.
Here is what I mean about keeping cool and using distortion to its fullest. Kayle and I had just killed Mundo and were going to get some easy farming in. Irelia shows up to gank us. I start running back and just as she gets in range for her Bladesurge I use distortion to get away from her. Kayle is behind and in trouble now. I throw chains back to slow Irelia and end up snaring her at our tower allowing both me and kayle to escape.
(I will freely admit that the Irelia did not do a good job of aiming her ult or she was expecting jukes. Either way it was an awesome escape in my opinion.)
Ethereal Chains Ethereal Chains - LeBlanc flings illusionary chains towards a target location. If it hits an enemy unit, it will deal initial magic damage and slow their movement speed by 25%. If the target remains shackled for 2 seconds, the target takes additional magic damage and is unable to move.

Cost 70/70/70/70/70 Mana
Range 950
This skill is pretty much your way of telling the opponents, "You are not escaping." Use it right after q and w to keep them close for attacking. If possible hit them with this first then go in and combo them.
Thorw it if you are getting chased for the slow and snare to get away.
The real trick is with Mimic and I'll talk more about that in the Mimic section.
Mimic Mimic - LeBlanc can cast a more potent version of the previous spell she cast.
LeBlanc can cast the previous spell she cast. The mimicked spell deals 20/30/40% increased damage.
Cost 100/50/ Mana
Range 200
Cooldown 40/35/30
This ult is what makes LeBlanc lots of fun. Double snare and slow, double nuke, or double blink. All are great for the same reasons her individual skills are and the cooldown is low enough that you will have it every team fight.
First I want to touch on my favorite skill to double up on, Ethereal Chains. In a gank or 1v1 situations this basically ensures they will not get away. For ganks I'll q+w then chain the combo target and ult the buddy to keep him off my back or let anyone else who is there clean up now that everything is on cd. In 1v1 situations once I throw e I wait 1-2 seconds and throw Mimic so that once the first snare's duration is over the other takes effect and finish him off with combo or ignite.
Using Distortion plus Mimic makes for a great epic escape or chases fairly obvious.
Mimicing Sigil is probably my least favorite. Yes its a great nuke, but has the least amount of ulitity in a team fight. I reserve mimicing Sigil as a finishing move or if some carry has in their head to target LeBlanc in a team fight and get the silence effect with another ability and hopefully render them useless or think twice about attacking LeBlanc.
LeBlanc Combo Videos
I've talked a lot about the combos you can do with her skills. Now lets see them in action!
I'll put one up eventually.
Kill Combo
Here is one where I was solo mid and killed the tristana opposing me. I don't like taking LeBlanc mid (see Solo vs Side Lane), but we had no other ranged champion. Watch as I Sigil into distortion for the silence. Then chains for slow and snare. I finish up with Ignite, a couple of attacks, and sigil. Poor Tristana.
This is another game in the side lane. Gragas and I harassed twitch quite a bit and then we see him with our pink ward. Gragas throws a barrel. I use sigil and distortion to get in range for chains. I managed to kill twitch even when our ward goes down with the secondary damage on chains.
Greater Quintessence of Fortitude x3
LeBlanc is not immune to harassment and will probably take a few hits even with the ability to pop back to safety with distortion. More hp means more you can harass without getting killed.
Greater Mark of Insight x9
Magic penetration to help get through that pesky 30 magic resist that everyone has.
Greater Seal of Clarity x9
Mana regeneration so LB can keep using her spells because without them you are pretty much useless.
Greater Glyph of Clarity x9 or Greater Glyph of Focus x4 Greater Glyph of Clarity x5 and or Greater Glyph of Shielding x9
Any of these will work. Currently on my main account I use the mp5 glyphs because I like to spam abilities. On my second account (I can't call it a smurf anymore since it is level 29) I use the CDR glyphs for pretty much the same reason.
For masteries I generally go 10/0/20 as shown below.
Why this setup? Here are important highlights.
The nine points in offense not counting Burning Embers is for a little AP boost, cooldown reduction and magic penetration. These will make your spells hit harder and pretty standard for any caster.
[mastery=Burning Embers] I take for that extra AP early game when you don't have many items. LeBlanc can really dominant early with her harass combo and every little bit counts as she is going to drop off mid to late game.
In utility the it may seem odd to get Greed. Before you go 1 gold per 10 seconds, lame! You have to take into account how bad LeBlanc is at farming. She has one AoE attack that even with lots of AP will not clear a creep wave. Then there is her very weak auto attack. I will go more in-depth about farming later, but let's just say for now LeBlanc can use all the help she can get.
Perseverance, Meditation, and Intelligence masteries so we can use our abilities more.
[mastery=Awareness] so LB can get combo sooner and start harassing to her full potential
[mastery=Quickness] While LeBlanc may not be a slow champion she is squishy and anything I can do to increase my chances of getting away from a gank are great in my guide.
[mastery=Spatial Accuracy] I put a point in because I use Teleport. If you don't then [mastery=Haste] if you use Ghost or a point in [mastery=Good Hands] if you don't are fine too.
If you like having your Summoner Spells more often there is always 9/0/21
Use whichever fits your play style.
Summoner Abilities
Good Spells to Use
Ignite gives LB extra damage, reduces healing, +10 AP with mastery point, and counters certain champion abilities like Tryndamere's ultimate if used properly, 'nuff said.
The early game is so important to Leblanc and getting back to lane quickly after a recall or death makes a huge difference in my opinion. Late game helps you meet up with your team for a push or get to huge creep wave that is threatening a tower.
Pop this after a distortion and say good to any pursuit. If any of them pop ghost then just stay ahead until Mimic or Distortion is off cooldown.
Nice if the enemy team has lots of cc. Probably would use this over ghost in ranked (draft), but ghost would be much better in a normal (blind pick).
Knowing who is or isn't in your bushes, finding Warwick at dragon begging to be ganked, revealing two champions coming up the river to gank you. This spell is phenomenal. Does LeBlanc need it? Probably not, but its hard to go wrong picking it.
Spells to Never Get
Extremely long cooldown and useless if you don't die which I prefer not to do in this game.
Great for backdoor, but LB doesn't push.
LeBlanc already has a built in Flash on a much shorter cooldown that can be copied with Mimic if need be. It is redundant. If you need an escape spell take ghost. There has also been a lot of buzz about removing Flash from the game in the LoL forums so it might be a bad idea to get used to not having it.
Skilling Order
Sigil at first level to get that harass going early and help an aggressive teammate like Sion get that first blood.
Distortion at second level for an escape option and to proc Sigil's silence or help get into range for sigil
Chains at level 3 for another sigil proc and more general harass
After that generally its > [spell_icon=Sigil of Silence] > >
Why Distortion maxed out last? Additional levels of distortion do not do much for LB since it only increases the base damage by 10 and 1 level of it will keep the mana cost low so we can almost always have the mana to use it for escapes.
Here are the items that I start just about every game with.
[item_icon=Meki Pendant] and x2
Meki Pendent for mana regeneration and health potions to get HP back if you take damage while harassing.
[item_icon=Kage's Pick] is the next item I buy for the AP to do more damage and 5 gold per 10 seconds to make up LB's farming trouble.
next followed by another [item_icon=Kage's Pick]. This lets LB keep up in gold earned without having to focus on last hitting every minion possible. Never more than 2 [item_icon=Kage's Pick] because it will takes awhile to for them to pay for themselves and getting more of these later does not provide a significant gold bonus.
Mercury Treads if they have any snares, stuns, slows etc. This is very important as you can be stunned while you up in your distortion and if it lasts long enough you'll lose your window to distortion back.
If they don't have any snares, stuns, slows etc. then Sorcerer's Shoes for the extra Magic Penetration.
Change your [item_icon=Meki Pendent] into one of the above. If the enemy team has lots of Magic damage the chalice is great for the extra magic resist. Most of the time is better as you can build it into later for a nice AP boost.
vs Magic Damage
lowers enemy magic resist, increases your magic resist, and your AP. This item basically says screw you enemy casters, your attacks don't hurt me as much and makes mine hit harder.
extra hp, magic resist, and blocks 1 cc effect. If you getting cc'd to hell and can't even use distortion to get away then you will really want this.
You can turn your [item_icon=Meki Pendent] into a instead of a is a pretty good ideas as well for magic resist and better mana regeneration
vs Physical Damage
AP + Armor sounds good and few seconds of invulnerability, fantastic.
hp and ability power.
perfect counter to hard and fasting champs like Master Yi, Udyr, Jax, and Udyr.
More for the ranged dps like Tristana, Ashe, etc. and it gives cooldown reduction to get Mimic more often. I do not recommend building this and Thornmail. Build one or the other both is just overkill since you are not the tank.
Still has lots of armor and if getting focused in team fights means you can let them kill you and pop back up to help the team once they target someone else.
vs Mixed Damage
pick and chose from either list as you see fit. I personally recommend Banshee's Veil first as it gives a good boost to hp and blocks cc.
vs Tanky or Magic Resist Stackers
The active on this will take about a 1/3 of any tank's hp and make them think twice about getting into the fray. build this if you have extremely healthy tanks like Dr. Mundo or Mordekaiser.
see above. Best vs magic resist stackers like Galio.
more health and magic penetration to bypass some magic resist and fairly cheap if not doing so well.

LeBlanc's auto attack is pretty terrible. You are going to want to try and get those last hits whenever possible. The creep will have to be pretty low.
Farming with Distortion is not my favorite use, but sometimes necessary because its her only AoE attack. I reserve this for a few select occasions. 1) I am alone in trying to kill the creep at a tower and there are lots to kill. LB's auto attack damage is pretty low and anything to try and that money before the tower does is good in my opinion. I will even Mimic distortion to get that gold. 2) Someone was kind enough to hit a bunch of creeps with Taric's Shatter, Ashe's volley, etc. and left a bunch of creep near death. This is not an endorsement to steal creep kills btw. I usually play with at least one friend and they generally do not mind me doing this as they well know I struggle to get about 30 creep kills before the laning phase is over with LB.
Sigil with its short cooldown can help you get a few creep kills if you are starving for gold or need to get that last bit before a buy.
Side Lane vs Solo
LeBlanc is best in the side lane. There are two champions you can possibly harass and kill. You have a partner that can cover the lane if you see another lane is low and you want to go gank. On the other side of that if your partner decides to go gank its solo experience for you. Side lane also gives you a partner that can help clear creep and protect your tower.
Does this mean Leblanc cannot solo? No it does not. She is just not ideal for it. She can't clear creep quickly if pushed and she can't farm up lots of gold from being solo in mid like most other solo lane choices. If LeBlanc does end up mid the best thing you can do is get a kill or two on the enemy champion. You don't need to be super aggressive about it. All LeBlanc has to do is wait for the enemy to over extend and go combo them or even just snare them in turret range. LeBlanc has the nuking power early to kill most solo mid characters, but that is about it. You will get a couple kills and struggle to clear creep to protect that mid tower. Once the side lanes start hitting level six it is best to encourage teammates to gank mid or help push mid tower.
TL;DR LeBlanc does well mid in killing other mids, but other champions not only can get kills but will farm and push better than LB ever will and have more opportunities to gank because they can push the creep to the enemy tower and have time to leave mid for a gank. In the side lane you have 2 targets for harassment, better chances of getting a champion with low hp you can kill easily, and the possibility of double kills. You will have partner that will help you especially if they have CC and if nothing else they will cover the lane while you gank mid.
Allies and Enemies
This section will change and grow as I play LeBlanc more. In general, a good lane partner will have a cc and a good way to clear creep. Bad lane match ups in my experience so far have been double tanks especially if one of the tanks has a self heal or if there is a tanky champion doing a side lane solo.
Allies: Good Lane Partners
Taric is a great laning partner for LeBlanc. He has an AoE skill that can help clear creep. He has a heal to help you recover some HP if you took a few hits while harassing. He also has a stun to help get kills.
Amumu has a stun to help get kills. He has Tantrum for clearing creep. At level 6 he'll have AoE suppression will mean at least one kill if used properly. Can hold the lane 2v1 easily if you have to leave for buy, heal, gank, or whatever.
Morgana has a snare to help get kills, tainted soil to clear creep, and black shield to save you from cc.
Irelia has great harass, damage, and a slow/stun. burst+burst=lane domination
Nunu has a great harass with ice ball and a mega slow. The enemy should not be able to get away once you two go in for the kill.
Enemies: Bad Lane Matchups
Nunu has lots of health, a healing ability, and a slow that will reduce your movement to crawl. You can harass him but he'll just get his health back with consume and force you back with his ice ball.
Mordekaiser has lots of health and a rechargeable shield which makes him immune to most of our harass. Then there is his amazing pushing power which will dominate since LB can't clear creep well. There is some hope if you can get a lot of hits in before he hits level three. If he is doing a solo side lane then you will probably need to switch because all your harass will do is drain his shield and he'll recharge it with one siphon strike.
Morgana can snare you, has a lot of health for a caster, and inherent spell vamp. Harassing Morgana is nearly pointless with the spell vamp and very dangerous if she can land dark binding in the middle of distortion.
Working in the team
You have two great disables at your disposal so use them!
Silence hit their caster with sigil and proc it with either distortion or chains and make them useless.
If the team has Katerina, Fiddlesticks, or another channeling ultimate hit them with the silence to interrupt. In Fiddlesticks's case make sure to do this as he channels it up and not when the crows are flying.
Use the chains to slow and snare anyone gunning for the squishies or any runners in a team fight. Using chains on carries to keep them in range of your team's dps is also not amiss.
Otherwise in general nuke a squishy carry and make it 4v5 :).
Here is an example of a good teamfight with LeBlanc. Watch as I snare Xin at our tower then hit him with silence so he can't do anything. After that I work on the other squishies getting in close with distortion and for mop up I snare Alistar so team can kill him and we get almost their entire team.

Friday, April 6
The Thursday Takeaway
Now 33 and coming off a lost season, Santana no longer throws in the mid-90s. His first pitch on Thursday was an 87 mph fastball, and he sat in the upper-80s throughout the afternoon, occasionally reaching back for 90-91. But Santana also proved that he could be effective without premium velocity, tossing five scoreless innings, fanning five and walking two to pave the way for the Mets' 1-0 win.
The Braves were one of the worst teams in the majors against left-handed pitching last season—combining for a lowly .228/.290/.352 triple slash that represented the second-worst OPS in the league—and general manager Frank Wren did little to bolster his offense this past winter. With that in mind, perhaps Santana's encouraging effort should be taken with a grain of salt. But for a Mets fan base used to crossing its fingers and expecting the worst, Thursday's opener provided a much-needed glimmer of hope.

As an (un)official Johan Santana fan, I'm glad he is back on the mound and effective. Santana has never shown a large platoon split, owing to his changeup, so maybe that salt doesn't need to be used too liberally.
Apr 06, 2012 07:35 AM
I remember that Shields-Sabbathia game. Robinson Cano has more than his share of amazing gifts, but stealing home isn't one of them. Inexplicably, and I believe there were two outs at the time, but don't quote me, Shields stepped back and awkwardly tried to pick Cano off third. 1-0 Yankees...game. That said, even as a Yankee fan, Sabbathia is rarely that good and James Shields is nails. I remember three or four years ago he got walloped to the tune of 11 earned in 3 or 4 and change at Yankee Stadium...seems like he hasn't given up and earned run against them since.

I've long thought BP could use a "non-obvious news and notes of immediate interest" type feature. If that's what this is becoming, thumbs up.

Being wrong is an integral part of making predictions—and you're more than welcome to let me know! I just hope I'm right often enough to keep it entertaining.

Toast. It's such a simple thing. But my toast-making has become quite a process.
Ever since we stayed with my Mom during our power outage,
I have been hooked on Pepperidge Farm® whole grain oatmeal bread,
so I start with that.
Then I add a schmear of a buttery spread.
Then I sprinkle on some milled flax seeds.
I top it all off with a generous shake of cinnamon.
Finally ready for the toaster!
Did you read the book Making Toast by Roger Rosenblatt?
From the synopsis I thought it had great promise, but it never captured my interest.
I can't even remember if I finished it!
Do you know where I might have gotten those Flax Paks?
I am out and can't find them at my regular grocery store or Trader Joe's. 🙁
What do you put on your toast?

The growing number of care home closures has prompted charity Counsel and Care to call for official protocols on what happens when a home faces shutdown.
Many recent home closures have taken place in "unseemly haste", the charity says. In an otherwise highly regulated sector, there is nothing to protect the interests of vulnerable elderly and disabled residents. Counsel and Care, which provides advice on residential and nursing care, says 800 closures have taken place over the past year.
Given the "low" level of fees offered by local authorities for residents funded by the community care system, it warns, the attrition looks likely to continue. Les Bright, the charity's deputy director, argues that lack of closure protocols makes the care sector the poor relation.
School closures take place only after lengthy consultation, and council housing stock transfers depend on a vote among tenants, he says, adding: "If a home is earmarked for closure, residents and patients should be protected and their views sought to ensure that the anxiety and distress they experience is minimised."
Protocols would delay closure so that every other possibility was examined, especially in the interests of residents and patients without close family. "In the past, there have been deaths among patients transferred from homes in which they have lived for many years," says Bright. "It seems not only practical but humane that the Department of Health should consider that closure protocols should be put in place."
The charity's call is being backed by Unison, the public services union, which blames the rash of closures on the fact that the care home sector has become dominated by for-profit operators. Malcolm Wing, the union's national secretary for local government, says: "Local authorities were forced to dispose of the majority of homes because the private sector said it could run them cheaper and better. The sight of elderly people being, in effect, evicted because they were no longer making a profit for their home owners is a scandal which should not be allowed to continue."

GREENSBORO � The tax rate would stay flat under the Guilford County budget proposed Thursday, but more money would go to public safety and Guilford County Schools.
This is the first full budget season for County Manager Marty Lawing, who was hired last year, and he has faced pressure from all sides. His proposed budget splits the difference between requests for dramatic funding increases and the fiscal austerity urged by the Guilford County Board of Commissioners as the county shoulders more than $900 million in debt.
Lawing�s proposal includes:
A total budget of $569 million � $10.4 million more than the current budget.
l No increase in the property tax rate. The rate would remain at 77 cents for every $100 of assessed value. That means the owner of a $100,000 house will continue to pay $770 in property taxes.
An overall increase of nine new county positions.
A $7.6 million increase in funding for education. That includes $2.23 million more for local operating funding for Guilford County Schools and $1.77 million more for school maintenance and repairs. The schools requested a $30 million increase, with $10 million of that designated for maintenance and repairs.
A $3.27 million increase in public safety spending. That includes eight new detention officer positions for the Guilford County Detention Center. Sheriff BJ Barnes requested 19 new detention officers .
No recommended cuts to funding for libraries or community-based organizations like the United Arts Council of Greensboro, Friends of John Coltrane and NC Shakespeare Festival.
The county manager�s budget proposal is just the beginning of the budget process. The commissioners will debate and negotiate over the new budget before the July 1 deadline to pass it.
The board will likely face heavy community pressure to increase funding for the school system. Parents, teachers and administrators have been imploring the commissioners to deal with schools that are too small and that have been physically deteriorating for years.
The sheriff�s office also is likely to lobby the board to increase the number of detention officers. Barnes requested funding for 166 officers before the new jail opened in 2012, but commissioners only budgeted for 89. That led the sheriff to leave several of the jail�s floors unopened. About 20 of the jail�s 25 �pods� are now in use � each with about 20 cells.
The board will hold its first budget work session on May 29, a public hearing on June 5 and a final budget work session on June 12. The board is scheduled to adopt a final budget June 19.
