ST. LOUIS (AP) — The Dodgers got some help from a former Cardinal before their pivotal series against St. Louis.
David Freese, who joined Los Angeles in a trade with the Pirates at the end of August, offered some insight on the Cardinals' young pitchers during the Dodgers' hitters meeting. The advice paid off.
Manny Machado homered and drove in three runs to back Clayton Kershaw, and the Dodgers beat the Cardinals 9-7 in the opener of a four-game series between playoff contenders.
"Just better approaches," Machado said. "Keep it simple. See the ball, hit the ball. The guy's going to have to throw it over the plate and when we make good contact and when we're at our best, we're not going to miss those opportunities."
The Dodgers snapped a five-game losing streak against the Cardinals and moved to within one game of St. Louis for the final NL wild-card spot. The Cardinals, who went 22-6 in August, lost their second straight game and fell to 5-7 in September.
Kershaw (8-5), pitching at Busch Stadium for the first time since taking the loss in Game 4 of the 2014 NL division series, struck out eight in six innings, allowing four runs — three earned — on eight hits and two walks.
"I felt good tonight," Kershaw said. "My curveball wasn't great but my other two (pitches) I felt like I had good command tonight."
Freese tripled on a 14-pitch at-bat against Austin Gomber to score Chris Taylor and Machado in the first. Matt Kemp followed with a single to score Freese.
"I threw him everything I had," Gomber said. "I went back and looked at the video. I thought the first 13 pitches were good pitches and the 14th one wasn't. He made me pay. Kind of just how the night went. They put some swings on pitches that I thought were good pitches."
Kershaw's RBI single started a four-run fourth and drove Gomber (5-1) from the game. Taylor followed with an RBI double, and Justin Turner and Machado had sacrifice flies as the Dodgers went ahead 8-1.
Machado went 3 for 4, and his solo homer in the seventh traveled 417 feet to center.
"We did what we needed to do," Machado said. "We got runners in scoring position. We got the runners in. Hopefully we can repeat it."
It was Gomber's first loss in the majors. The rookie left-hander went three-plus innings and gave up a career-high seven runs on nine hits.
"You saw us fighting and winning pitches," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "We have a lineup that can kind of grind starters and get a big hit and use the whole field."
Cardinals reliever Tyson Ross hit his second career home run in the fifth, sparking a three-run rally. He became the fourth Cardinals pitcher to homer this season, the most the team has had since 1966.
Matt Carpenter had a pair of singles and scored twice. Marcell Ozuna had two hits, an RBI and scored a run.
"I'm really proud of the guys tonight," Cardinals manager Mike Shildt said. "They one-through-nine battled to the end. That's what this team does."
The Cardinals scored twice and brought the tying run to the plate in the ninth. Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen needed 29 pitches to finish the game in a non-save situation.
"It got a little nerve-wracking there," Roberts said. "Obviously he's our guy, but he wasn't sharp tonight and he found a way to close it out for us."
The attendance was announced at 40,997, putting the Cardinals over the 3 million mark for the 15 straight season and 22nd overall.
Dodgers: RHP Ross Stripling will move back into the rotation for Sunday's game, moving LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu back to Monday and LHP Alex Wood to the bullpen.
Cardinals: C Yadier Molina (left hamstring tightness) returned to the starting lineup after missing six games. He went 0 for 1 with a walk before leaving the game after the fourth inning with St. Louis trailing by seven. "He feels like he can catch without any issue, and clearly he'll be a little compromised on the bases," Shildt said. "It's something that we'll sacrifice him scoring maybe a run, of course clearly we might pinch-run for him late in the game if it's applicable."
The Cardinals send RHP Jack Flaherty (8-6, 2.92 ERA) to the mound Friday night. The Dodgers will counter with RHP Walker Buehler (6-5, 3.09) in a rematch of a duel between the rookies in a 3-1 Cardinals win at Dodger Stadium on Aug. 22. Flaherty struck out 10 in that game, giving up one hit (a solo homer by Joc Pederson) in six innings, while Buehler allowed three hits and struck out nine over seven scoreless innings.

40-year-old Tennessee resident Lowell Turpin allegedly punched his girlfriend and smashed her laptop against a wall because he was convinced she was having a secret affair with Mitt Romney.
Yes. This really happened. Super Sleuth Turpin became violently jealous after he saw a photo of the presidential candidate on his girlfriend's Facebook page and "angrily demanded to know who the male was," according to the Anderson County Sheriff's Department. His partner denied an affair — obviously — but Turpin wasn't having any of it. He also accused her of "attempting to communicate with friends through her Facebook account," because, aside from being an assaulter, this horrible man apparently knows absolutely nothing about anything going on in this country. Okay, fine, let's accept that he didn't recognize one of the most famous faces in the continent right now. But who doesn't know how to use Facebook?
Turpin was arrested on suspicion of domestic assault and is currently in jail. We hope his girlfriend doesn't bail him out and instead runs off with a Mitt Romney lookalike (hey, there's no accounting for taste) who understands how social networking works.

Nano-scale slim films have become an important component of numerous products. Novel optical technology to detect and repair defects during production will improve quality and durability, and increase competitiveness. Tiny defects in slim movies utilized in items such as polymer-coated paper and low-cost, flexible photovoltaics (PVs) can decrease product quality and durability. This additionally decreases yield and increases scrap levels, more impacting competitiveness. Exposure of such defective PV modules and polymer-coated paperboard barrier movies to water vapour causes short circuits in electronics and the degradation of paper items. In-line quality control examination systems alleviate some of the burden, but there's frequently a trade-off between quality and speed. As a new task nears completion, experts have actually developed revolutionary optical strategies for existing optical measurement systems that detect smaller defects faster. Gas cleaning after examination has been introduced whereas cleaning and localised fix to eliminate particles produced during manufacturing will be introduced in the next phase. Laboratory tests have actually demonstrated a really promising decrease in problem densities of more than 90 %. One demonstrator and one proof-of-concept detection system have been implemented for each line. Ongoing trials are creating excellent results and the final demonstrators will showcase the new detection, cleaning and repair technologies. The technologies will be integrated with modern high-throughput roll-to-roll processing to increase production performance and decrease production expenses. Improved defect detection and fix will improve the quality and life time of products employing large-area thin movies, improving the competitive position of manufacturers. It'll also reduce waste, decrease costs and translate to crucial advantages for the environment. Brand new markets in smart packaging, flexible electronics and large-area lighting can be expected for the companion organizations.

This is an excerpt from Successful Coaching, Fourth Edition, by Rainer Martens.
Bullying and Hazing
Bullying is an act of aggression by someone or a group with the intent of harming a person either physically or psychologically. Bullying may occur by hitting, threatening, intimidating, teasing and taunting, and name-calling, or by more subtle attacks such as spreading rumors or encouraging others to reject the person. Bullies target individuals whom they perceive are weaker or more vulnerable.
Hazing is any action or situation created by a group to intentionally produce mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule among those wishing to join the group. Hazing is a form of bullying, but the two differ in the following ways:
Hazing can take many forms, including the following:
You've likely heard a lot about bullying and hazing in the media of late. In one survey, 42 percent of 6th graders reported being bullied, with 14 percent being injured from bullying. Today the Internet is frequently used to embarrass, humiliate, or harass individuals through messages or video—what's called cyberbullying. Hazing is no less frequent: 48 percent of high school students report some form of hazing. Many experts suspect that the occurrence of bullying and hazing is far more pervasive than reported because victims are embarrassed to report what occurred or are fearful of retaliation should they do so.
Some coaches tolerate bullying by older or more prominent athletes on the team. "Boys will be boys" is their attitude, and we should add that "girls will be girls" because hazing is common among girls, although less so than with boys. But even mild bullying may result in unseen but substantial harm to the victim. Bullying often leads to depression when a victim can't see a way out, and depression can lead to suicide in extreme cases. As a coach of character you must have zero tolerance for any bullying on your team.
You should also have no tolerance for hazing. After decades of darkness, hazing of athletes by athletes is being recognized as serious misbehavior. In the past, coaches often saw hazing as part of a ritual to build team cohesiveness, and condoned or even encouraged such practices. But hazing is contrary to the moral values of the Athletes' Character Code we have considered in this chapter. As a coach you should recognize subtle and outrageous hazing practices for what they are—the mistreatment of fellow human beings. Incidents such as the following are demanding that coaches take an active role in preventing hazing:
So what can you do to prevent bullying and hazing among your team members? See Successful Coaching, 4th edition, for seven action steps.

It's been exactly one year since DJ Veronica's last mix It's About Time. As usual, she was over here last night at my home-studio where her mix is being mastered by me. As I was bouncing the finalized mix to audio-file, DJ Veronica danced all the place and later ate all my chocolate snacks and potato chips.
DJ Veronica – "A New Beginning"…
Artist: DJ Veronica
Title: A New Beginning (DJ mix set)
Year: 2011
Comment: Mastered by Hashmoder (Omar Hash)
DJ Veronica – "It's About Time"" (mp3)
https://hashmoder.com/idisk/DJVeronica_ANewBeginning.mp3 (link path)
From DJ Veronica to you…
So I was on my way to California for a week, all checked-in, through security, and then the flight was cancelled. Apparently the plane was struck by lightning on its way into Vancouver. A 6″ hole went through the nose of the plane! Needless to say, there was no chance of getting out of town, so I got my bags and went back home. Everyone I knew thought I was out of town. I had no responsibilities. I was on vacation, yet I was at home, so I fired up the speakers, cranked the bass, and pulled out the tracks and hit record. This is the end result.
My new mix –A New Beginning– is full of tracks which I think are nostalgic. It makes me happy. I hope it does the same for you. It evokes memories of good times. And I mean GOOD TIMES! Track such as Music Is The Answer, Sugar Daddy, Music Sounds Better With You …and so many more… that I know you will recognize but with an updated twist.
Hashmoder has mastered this mix for me in the way that only he can. Thank-you my friend! You rock!
To all my fans over the years, this one's for you! Enjoy! And catch me this week-end opening for Peaches @ the Utopia Festival!
Much love. Music IS the answer!!!

Warsaw was founded around 1300, and early on it became a major trade centre and meeting point for the many peoples of Central Europe. The variety found in streets' architecture and design, where stark differences can be found between different neighbourhoods, is a clear sign of a multicultural past: a population of Poles, Germans and Russians, with the Catholic, Protestant and Jewish religions crossing paths. This is also a troubled past, with periods of prosperity interrupted by crises and wars: between the 17th and 19th Centuries, the city was invaded by the Germans, the Swedish and the French (led by Napoleon Bonaparte), ending with a period of Russian domination.
The latest of these great conflicts — Second World War — almost completely devastated the city. During the Communist regime, several historical landmarks were rebuilt, which helped to recover some of the lost heritage but also led to the creation of new areas with the typical Soviet architecture. When Poland joined the European Union, more colours were added to the "painting". As a result, to this day the different areas of the city have distinct identities, with one particularly visible division: on the left bank of the Vistula river that cuts through the city we find old, classical Warsaw. On the right bank of the river, we can witness the birth of a new city.
Left Bank and Historic Centre
To learn about Warsaw's distant past, we must begin our visit at the Śródmieście city district, where we find the historic centre — the Old City (Stare Miasto), which was granted UNESCO World Heritage Status in 1980.

Beauty, passion, wit, and drama converge in the stunning performances of California's Company C Contemporary Ballet. Outstanding contemporary choreography is the hallmark of the Company, which is led by founder and Artistic Director Charles Anderson, a former member of the New York City Ballet. The thirteen-member ensemble of classically trained dancers presents a diverse repertoire of contemporary choreography which is moving, provocative, sensual, and entertaining. The repertoire includes works by some of the most accomplished contemporary choreographers of our times, including Twyla Tharp, Paul Taylor, Antony Tudor, Lynne Taylor-Corbett, David Parsons, and Michael Smuin, among others. The Company has also commissioned new works from other talented choreographers such as former New York City Ballet Soloist Alexandre Proia and Patrick Corbin, former featured dancer with the Paul Taylor Dance Company. In 2008 the Company performed the world premiere of Twyla Tharp's Armenia at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. In 2009, the Company commissioned a new ballet from Gregory Dawson, added a work by San Francisco Ballet's Val Caniparoli and acquired its fourth work by National Medal of Arts recipient Twyla Tharp.
Since its inception in late 2002, the Company has performed regularly throughout Northern California and made its New York debut in 2006. In addition to its regular season, in 2008 the Company toured to Temecula, California, Mendocino, California and Akron, Ohio, where the Company was the featured performer in the multi-week Heinz Poll Dance Festival and conducted a residency at the University of Akron.

When President Barack Obama and his family visited Ghana, they were entertained by the Saakumu Dance Troupe. And, tonight, Durango will get a taste of the presidential treatment when the West African troupe visits the Community Concert Hall at Fort Lewis College.
The Word "saakumu" means "traditions," and the company bases its aesthetic on traditional styles combined with contemporary forms. The repertoire includes a range of spiritual, ceremonial and recreational genres.
The show is expressive and highly participatory with instrumentation such as the African xylophone, drums, calabash water drums and the praise singing (talking drums) of the Akan and Dagbamba people of Ghana.
Saakumu is led by Artistic Director Bernard Woma, who is also the founder and director of the Dagara Music and Arts Center in Accra, Ghana. The Obamas were not the first dignitaries to enjoy the troupe's work, as Woma's troupe also has performed for luminaries such as President Bill Clinton, Nelson Mandela and Queen Elizabeth II.

Petition of the day
The petition of the day is:
Ketterer v. Yellow Transportation, Inc.
Docket: 11-1361
Issue(s): Whether, when co-workers harass an employee who engaged in protected conduct on behalf of minority employees, an employer can be liable under Title VII's broad antiretaliation provision, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e- 3(a), when it knew or should have known about the harassment yet tolerated it by failing to take action (as nearly all the circuits have held) or must the coworker harassment also have been "in furtherance of the employer's business" (as only the Fifth Circuit has held).

Cuccinelli throws brushback at Cantor
Virginia Attorney General and presumptive GOP gubernatorial nominee Ken Cuccinelli sent a curt note this week to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) regarding how the party should nominate candidates — an issue that has become a stand-in for the broader fight in the state between establishment and conservative Republicans.
In a three-sentence message obtained by POLITICO, Cuccinelli, a tea party-backed crusader, said he has "never supported any effort to eliminate primaries as a method of nomination" before throwing a brushback at Cantor, a Richmond establishment powerhouse: "In the future, should you have any concerns, I would appreciate a call."
Advisers to both Cuccinelli and Cantor were tight-lipped about what prompted the terse missive, but sources familiar with the situation say the House's second-in-command has been open about concerns that the Virginia GOP's 2013 standard bearer favors permanently doing away with primaries in favor of conventions. Cuccinelli will be officially nominated at a convention next year. His supporters on the state GOP's central committee engineered a switch from the planned primary.
Cuccinelli's message, sent Monday, was delivered just days after Republican Lt. Gov Bill Bolling withdrew from the gubernatorial contest, citing his disadvantage in a convention setting that typically favors conservatives. Cantor, who shares many of the same Richmond-area financial and political backers as Bolling, endorsed the lieutenant governor's abortive gubernatorial bid in June.
But whether it's the would-have-been Bolling-Cuccinelli race or the nominating process itself, the tensions are only a symptom of the purity vs pragmatism debate taking place in both the Virginia and national Republican Party. Conservatives convinced that their leaders have been too accommodating of Democrats, have no appetite to moderate. But establishment Republicans believe they'll be consigned to minority status without making changes to the party.
On the matter at hand, Republican insiders in Richmond and Washington believe Cantor is worried about incumbents in both the congressional delegation and legislature facing the specter of small and divisive conventions that could make them vulnerable to a challenge on the right. One GOP hand noted that longtime Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) was booed at a convention in his own congressional district this year and the gathering passed a resolution demanding he support Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) for speaker.
But Republicans in the state legislature are also uneasy about any long-term move to conventions. Cuccinelli shared his note with Virginia House Speaker Bill Howell on Monday, as well, according to GOP sources.
"While it's no secret that I prefer conventions, eliminating party primaries as a nominating method is not something I support," the attorney general told both Cantor and Howell.
What scares establishment Republicans is the talk among the pro-Cuccinelli crowd on the Virginia GOP's state central committee about changing party rules to only allow for nominations by convention. There has been no such resolution introduced yet, but it could happen with a three-quarters vote when the state GOP meets in March or with a two-third vote at the state convention itself next June.
"The state convention is the more troubling avenue," said one Virginia Republican opposed to the change.
Chris LaCivita, a Cuccinelli strategist who is also close to some in Cantor's orbit, sought to downplay the back-and-forth.
"There is nothing to this, despite what you and some detractors what to create," said LaCivita.

3 Sioux Falls Children Killed in Fire
A fire Saturday morning left three Sioux Falls kids dead and two adults in the hospital. The house on North Main Avenue was already engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived. The three victims were found in a second story room.
According to the Associated Press, firefighters tried to enter the home but were forced back by the heat. When crews arrived, flames were shooting from nearly every west-side window on both floors.
Sioux Falls police Sgt. Loren McManus says 16-year-old Michael Hensely, 12-year-old Savannah Coon and 6-year-old Olivia Coon died in the Saturday morning, Dec. 22, blaze.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are working with the fire marshal to determine the cause of the blaze.

2) "Build a scene featuring life with the sea. Ideas include ships, seaports, lighthouses, etc."
Are rivers or waterfalls allowed or is this category designed with coastal creations more in mind? Do we have to build something near or int he sea or not? Would watermills be okay for instance?
3) "Show how an event at or near a religious building influenced daily life in medieval times. Ideas include a wedding, feast day, pilgrimage, funeral, or coronation at a church, cathedral, mosque, temple, or monastery."
Again, as with the first question, is this a category that has to be grounded in reality and existing religions and faith or can we step outside from that? Cults, something featuring the skeletons or trolls perhaps? Religious ceremonies of a darker, alternative nature? Would they be okay?

Dragon of the Shadows
Ok.. Back on topic then?
Jutsu: Katon: Tsuin Ryu no Jutsu (Fire Style: Twin Dragon Jutsu)
Type: Ninjutsu
Effect: Merging Chakra to create fire, the user breaths fire past a closed hand with the index finger errect and it takes form of two fire dragons, finishing in a ball of fire in the palm with the newly birthed fire dragons attached to it.
Advantages/Disadvantages: It can attack multiple enemies due to the big size and extendability and power, but can be dodged through alot of open points.
Jutsu: Wind Style: Hurricane Edge Jutsu
Type: Ninjutsu
Effect: Merging chakra to form a 4 point diagonal shape that swirls wind around the users hand. This requires a direct hit to accomplish the attack.
Advantages/Disadvantages: Can be devistating for the victim and cause serious injuries, but proper uses of Taijutsu would aid in it's navigational skills as it could throw the user off due to the amount of wind circulating to one side.
These 2 jutsus belong to my main character in my Naruto fanfic.

Dragon of the Shadows
Oh thank-you very much!
It belongs to my character Kou Kamura. His cousin Kenji who is 4 years older than him and evil (much like an Itachi character) has the Triple Dragon Jutsu. Which is stronger than the Twin Dragon. But Kou has been in training with a spirit of fire called Chong Uchiha (fictional character, of course) and studied in all sorts of fire jutsu's and learned his clans own and made his own. It was quite a saga Here is another
Name: Katon: Shoubu! Fenikkusu Kobushi no Jutsu (Fire Style: Ignite! Phoenix Fist Jutsu)
Effect: Merging chakra onto the hands to create fire, allowing the user to burn through that air quickly because of the oxygen and rapidly deliver burning punches to the victim
Advantages/Disadvantages: Without proper use of Taijutsu skills the attack could go wrong and end up burning the users hands if not focused properly.

-WOW been a while since I posted anything in this thread of mine. LOL and I started this thing to begin with. Oh the irony of life . Anyways I have 2 new jutsu for you ladies and gentlemen.
-Kage Ninpou: Mugendai Seki (Shadow Ninja Art: Infinite Gate).
-Signs: Hebi, Nezumi, Tori, Doragon, Hebi, Saru (Snake, Rat, Bird, Dragon, Snake, Monkey).
-Effect: This is a teleport technique in which the user jumps into his/her shadow and then is able to re-appear from any shadow that is being cast in the surrounding area (depending on the amount of chakra used). Essentialy the user can re-appear behind the enemy for a surprise attack but they have to be very careful because there is a time limit as to how long the user may remain in his/her shadow. Should they go over the limit they will be stuck in that technique until their death.
-Doton: Ishi Gyoushi (Earth element: Stone Gaze)
-Signs: Unique
-Effect: The user of this technique causes his/her opponent's skin (the top layer of it anyway) to harden and turn to stone effectively immobilizing them. The user can then follow up with an attack that would break the now "stoned" opponent and kill them (parts that are broken by this jutsu cannot be reattached after the effects wear off).

Your jutsus are cool to trevorelder!!
I'm so tired right now.. I will try posting another technique that is only used in a bloodline in my fanfic by the Ika clan.
I just made up the word Intiasou for the Bloodline name and they have an extremely special dojutsu. One of the techniques homed to this dojutsu is the Eyeris.
Name: Eyeris
Signs: None
Effect: The intiasou bloodline's eye is similar to that of the Byakugan eye. It's white and when in it's bloodline state the black pupil appears in the middle of the white eye, unlocking in a sense. This gives the user more power and allows them to move at higher speeds. The Eyeris is a combination of forward movement, spinning, and direct hits from the hands.
Advantages/Disadvantages: Can be draining of Chakra if used excessively but delivers intense blows, said to be like experiences being knocked into by 2 rhinos.
Name: Eyeris Storm
Signs: None
Effect: Same as above only each speedy hit contains high volts of electricity.
Advantages/Disadvantages: More poweful, quicker due to higher chakra use. But in that sense more draining.

Well I'ts been a while since i've posted anything so here are some jutsus I just thought of.
1. Rashidomi
Rank: A rank
Users: Zaruke Soshimaru
Description: Zarukes newest created jutsu. It took him 3 1/2 years to create and perfect this jutsu. Basically what it is is a very highly concentrated blast of chakra.This jutsu uses a shotgun effect and is affective up to 50 meters. What happens is Zaruke molds a very dangerous amount of chakra in his hand and with one thrust ofhis fist he sends it at his enemies. This jutsu could literally BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF from up to 10 meters away! The jutsu starts to evaporate when it gets about 55 meters away, and the farther it gets the bigger the blast radius becomes.
2. Odima Rashidomi
Rank: S rank
Users: Zaruke Soshimaru
Description: A more advanced version of Rashidomi. This jutsu uses 30% more concentrated chakra than the normal Rashidomi. Basically this jutsu is like a big drill. What happens is you charge your chakra in your primary arm and then you punch and and it can drill a whole in basically any material and even other chakra. This jutsu was originally meant as a 100% kill technique by drilling a whole in your enemy. You first have to mastered the normal Rashidomi to even have a chance of doing this technique.
Hope you enjoyed!! Please post comments!

Here's 3 i made up from the top of my head, hope you find them interesting!
Jutsu: Raikou Chisoku (Lightning Speed)
Type: offensive
Effect: by forming chakra in the heart and releasing the energy through the blood stream to the skin, it electrically charges the skin to have more energy to move enabling the user to have super speed and electrifying the opponent when electricity has made contact
Advantages/Disadvantages: good against any type of ninja arts as the user can create an electrical field to control the atmosphere/ charging of energy into heart if not done correctly can kill if not mastered of COMPLETE chakra control and also can burn your skin to a crisp b/c of the electrical energy spread throughout the body
Hand seals required: fire, blood, shield, air, water, spirit
Jutsu: kaji take (fire shield)
Type: offense/defense
Effect: inner chakra is released from the body and is inflamed once expelled and is controlled by creating a barrier just above your skin. usage of this is to overwhelm a normal combat user who currently does not use any special elemental jutsu's
Advantages/Disadvantages:good for a tactic for the best offense is a good defense phrase to heaten the enemy and burn them as well as protecting yourself with the flames around you/ requires a HUGE amount of chakra, requires no real danger within the body but a good deal of control to maintain the barrier within the fire
Hand seals required: fire, air, spirit, shield
Jutsu: hegi sutoraiki (snake strike)
Type: taijutsu (if i used that right, its hand to hand combat)
Effect: using the effects of multiple selves, user is able to continuously attack from multiple angles right after another, starting from an upfrontal diversion by diving at the head with average momentum while a copy slides at top speed right b4 dive contact tripping opponent to fall foward. the diver then flips while grabbing opponents head and flipping them up in the air causing some neck injury. A third member strikes from above with multiple kicks to the abdomin and a final powerful kick about 8 feet from the ground. B4 landing, the rest of the 2 clones strike from below with the two using 1 strong upper cut into the spine/back of the enemy from which can be linked other moves or strong hits
Advantages/Disadvantages: an effective contious attack striking obvious weakpoints of the body that will leave the opponent well down for the count if all hits make full contact/ can only be used against a non-expectant opponent (standing up in any way as well) and enemy must not know the move for its very easy to evade the attack if combo is known
Hand seals required: none required, just style and finesce (if i spelled that right...)
Requirements: Any kind of real replications. ex:water replication (zabuza) or shadow replication(naruto)
(All of these are purely fictional and may not all be factual in their being ex: there might not be real hand seals of the words i listed)

I want to make two characters that existed in the days of the first hokage when the war between the villages was at its climax. Then I'll make their story background alike Kakashi-Obito and Naruto-Sasuke. Let's say that there was once two shinobi's named Kyoushirou Hyuuga and Souma Uchiha who were both friends and rivals. The two fought to quell the riot alongside the first hokage. Unfortunately through out the story Souma became evil and turned from Konoha. Eventually he battled Kyoushirou. When he managed to turn from the darkside it was all too late. Kyou had delivered the Hakke Hyaku juu roku juu yon shou. Souma was defeated by Kyou and with his dying breath he granted his Sharingan to Kyou. So finally now Kyou posseses both eyes to battle the ultimate evil....He triumphed and encouraged the first hokage to become hokage and then disappeared. hehehehehehehehe seems like i'm day dreaming

I don't like the idea of how you you ripped off Kakashi and Obito. A byakugan/sharingan user? Wouldn't that like completely mess up the Hyuuga bloodline? Neji would be a descendant from this person and have like what.. Eight eyes and a third leg? Hinata would probably be a man... They'd be the most ridiculed clan in Leaf.
Neji_Hyuuga be original as possible. lol, it was good up until you gave him the sharingan

Big Merger Turns NYSE from Prey to Predator
Within days of the dust settling from the SEC's passage of the package of rules known as Regulation NMS, the New York Stock Exchange surprised the Street with its announced merger with Archipelago.
The merged entities will form a new company, to be called NYSE Group, which will be publicly traded.
NYSE's chair, John Thain, says, "This transaction, transforming the NYSE into a public for-profit entity, is an essential step to maintain our global competitiveness and leadership."
Bill Cline, Global Managing Partner for Accenture's Capital Markets Practice says, "To me it was a very clever and savvy deal by the NYSE. In one shot they got one of the best electronic platforms in the industry, a 25 percent share of Nasdaq trading, plus they get to demutualize and go public, and eliminate a competitor."
The timing of the deal, coming on the heels of the passage of Reg NMS and the extension of the trade-through rule to all U.S. equity markets, was not a coincidence.
Archipelago (Arca) was a vocal opponent of Reg NMS since the extension of trade-through to the Nasdaq was going to make it difficult for Arca to fulfill its public statement of taking share from the NSYE.
This merger also upends competitive perceptions among the exchanges.
The Nasdaq and other exchanges and ECNs (electronic communications networks), indicated through public comment that they considered the period of time that it would take the NYSE to implement a hybrid market as an opportunity to take share from them.
With the Arca takeover, the NYSE erodes most of the arguments against it, most of which involved speed and certainty of execution.
Arca positions the NYSE to not only retain the 25 percent share of Nasdaq trading, but also positions it to get into options and take a bigger share of ETF (exchanged-traded fund) transactions.
Trading in Nasdaq-listed stocks has been fragmented since a series of reforms were enacted in 1999.
A large portion of Nasdaq-listed stocks have been traded on regional exchanges and through ECNs in the last six years.
Nasdaq has made an effort to defrag that market by acquiring several ECNs, among them Brut and the newly announced takeover of Instinet.
With the merger of the NYSE and Arca, though, the liquidity in Nasdaq stocks is going to center on the two hubs provided by NYSE and Nasdaq.
Cline says, "I think the combination of this deal and Reg NMS, and trade-through specifically, puts real pressure on the regional exchanges to survive."

The Trading-Floor Tradition
How will this merger change the trading floor tradition at the NYSE?
Larry Tabb of The TABB Group says, "I don't believe that this merger will hasten, slow, or radically alter the NYSE's desire to move to a hybrid market structure, or to force the NYSE to jettison the floor and go fully electronic."
Tabb points out that the NYSE already has a matching engine for electronic orders, called Direct Plus, which is currently responsible for approximately 10 percent of the NYSE order flow.
Tabb states, "The reason they don't move to a more electronic platform is not that they can't; it's because they believe it to be in the benefit of the auction model."
Tabb believes that politics was the logjam in the NYSE's move to a more automated market.
NYSE's floor trading can add value for illiquid, thinly traded issues, and in big block trades where price improvement can be achieved on the floor.
Depending on how much of the flow goes off-floor and electronic, there might be less-than-necessary critical mass on the floor to operate efficiently, or to cost-justify maintaining and evolving the floor.
If the floor continues to play a useful role, it's a win for the NYSE since it's a differentiating factor for them that no competitor will duplicate.
The merger gives the NYSE front-end technology, with Archipelago's aggregation and direct market access capabilities.
It also gives the NYSE an entry into the options business, which is growing rapidly.
Tabb says, "This allows some very interesting cross-derivative and cash-product capabilities that could draw liquidity from the ISE, BOX, Amex, Philadelphia Exchange and the CBOE."
Tabb believes that derivatives may very well be the next battleground, and the possibility of developing a combined cash and derivative business provides the NYSE with interesting product, arbitrage and profit possibilities.

Going Public
The announcement that the combined firm will have its own IPO is a continuation of the trend of exchanges going public.
The U.S. exchanges have lagged behind their European counterparts as far as being publicly traded, and as a result have lagged as far as having aggressive growth agendas.
The European exchanges especially are diversifying and introducing new products to maintain profitability.
Cline notes, "I think we're entering a period of real dynamic changes and growth that will be exciting to watch. I predict that the U.S. exchanges will be more significant global players. I believe that growth and the raising of stock prices will come through innovation and expansion."
IT sales provide an area where European exchanges have been able to leverage their IT investments.
The Deutsche Boerse, for example, recently licensed its XETRA trading system to the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Cline's group at Accenture is leading the effort to enhance and customize XETRA for the Shanghai exchange.
"This deal is good for Shanghai because they get a mature platform," notes Cline.
"And it's good for the Deutsche Boerse because they get income for their IT investment."
Cline believes that the NYSE will be poised to provide technology to exchanges around the world, with the addition of Archipelago's top-notch IT department.
Scale is still important in this business, and IT investments at exchanges are quite heavy.
Selling IT is a smart strategic play that leverages that investment over a larger base and also builds relationships between exchanges.
As the exchange market becomes increasingly global and national boundaries get less important, we may see those seed relationships that start with IT go much further.
As U.S. exchanges become more growth- and profit-conscious, we will likely see them participate more fully in this game.

In his capacity as a real estate developer, Ambassador Oreck worked for many years restoring and redeveloping historic properties. This work caused him and his wife to become more and more engaged in "high performance" building. In 2003, Ambassador and Mrs. Oreck founded the Zero Carbon Initiative which is committed to teaching, informing and implementing both experimental and off-the-shelf energy efficiency and alternative energy technologies in the built environment.
Ambassador Oreck was a founding member of the Board of Trustees for The Grand Canyon Trust and remains very active in environmental matters. He has also been active in historic preservation, and by mayoral appointment, served for a number of years as the Chairman of the Historic Districts Landmarks Commission in New Orleans. Ambassador Oreck previously served as a member of the Board of Trustees for the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and was also a member of the Board of Trustees of Adams State College (serving the higher education interests of rural Colorado).

A mineral collector since he was a boy, Ambassador Oreck has assembled one of the leading collections of fine minerals in the United States and he and his wife are major donors of mineral specimens to museums throughout America.

Screen stars on both sides of the Atlantic have paid tribute to Philip Seymour Hoffman following the actor's death.
Steve Coogan was among the celebrities left shocked by the news on the red carpet at the London Critics' Circle Film Awards in central London.
"He did some tremendous work. Everything he was in he raised the quality of his film just by his presence," he said.
"People have different opinions about actors but you wouldn't find anybody who would have a bad word to say about any of his performances, they were all incredibly nuanced."
He added: "There are actors and there are movie stars and sometimes they're both but he was an actor first and a movie star second."
Skyfall actress Naomie Harris said: "That's a huge loss for everyone. He was an extraordinary and intelligent man, so it's incredibly sad, and it makes the evening all a bit more sombre now, having heard."
Actress Mia Farrow tweeted: "OH NO!!!!! Philip Seymour Hoffman has died. A truly kind, wonderful man and one of our greatest actors - ever."
She added: "Rest in peace Philip Seymour Hoffman. We who marvelled at each of your performances are grateful and very very sad."
Jennifer Lawrence, who worked with the actor on the Hunger Games films, where he played Plutarch Heavensbee, said the star was "an incredible actor". "You played an excellent Plutarch. So sad," she said.
Ricky Gervais posted: "Such shocking & sad news. RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman. One of the greatest actors of a generation and a sweet, funny & humble man."
Whoopi Goldberg wrote: "A truly great actor... Gone.. I hope someone says hey whoop it's a hoax.. R.I.P."
A spokesman for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts said: "We're shocked and deeply saddened to learn that Philip Seymour Hoffman has died."
Comedian and actor Steve Martin paid tribute by praising Seymour Hoffman's 2012 Broadway performance in Arthur Miller's Death Of A Salesman.
He said: "Shocked to hear of Phillip Seymour Hoffman's death. If you missed him as Willy Loman, you missed a Willy Loman for all time."
Hollywood star Jim Carrey said: "Dear Philip, a beautiful beautiful soul. For the most sensitive among us the noise can be too much. Bless your heart."
John Hurt, who starred with Seymour Hoffman in 2003 film Owning Mahowny, said: "It's a devastating loss. His contribution was massive."
12 Years a Slave director Steve McQueen commented: "I'm a huge admirer. How sad and tragic. I feel for his family."
RnB star and actor Justin Timberlake said he was "devastated" by the news. "What an amazingly gifted actor. RIP," he tweeted.

Okay. I'm going to say this now:
If this new Fire-Type starter evolves into a Fire/Fighting-Type, I might throw something.
Having said that, I'm actually really excited for--and surprised by--this. Seems like only yesterday Gen. V was being released... and added to RotR...
Which, to get this out of the way now:
1. Gen. VI will not be added to Rise of the Rockets until its Japanese release. As such, just like the case was supposed* to be with Gen. V, there will be no early-bird cameos.
2. I want people to try really, really hard NOT to make a ton of huge plots in whatever the new region is called as soon as it's released. I don't want a repeat of Unova.
Those are my thoughts. :3

I just read about a company that is on its third pivot. When is enough is enough?
The founder is young and sharp. He'd be a valuable asset at any other tech company, but he can't seem to throw in the towel.
Some pivots, of course, work. Path is a great example. So are Fab and Turntable. But most don't.
So what's a smart, young entrepreneur to do when they realize their startup is failing? When should they call it quits and crawl back to corporate America? Or at least to someone else's successful startup?
The Gowalla founders took heat for getting acqui-hired by Facebook and shutting down the product. But really they were smart. They knew Foursquare had crushed them and they joined one of the best companies in the world. They weren't afraid to realize they had "failed." Part of being business savvy is knowing how and when to make that incredibly tough call.
"Failures" are inevitable and they're a good thing. They're what make the startup world tick. If startups didn't fail, others wouldn't survive. A Facebook cofounder said if the company had been started today it would have been toast. It wouldn't have been able to hoard enough necessary talent because everyone wants to have their own startup now.
There are a lot of pivots going on; a lot of talented people are working on small ideas that will never become big businesses. At some point (soon) they will run out of cash and have to ask themselves, Do I keep trying to force a company or do I temporarily lay my entrepreneurial endeavors to rest?
While we're not trying to encourage quitting, more founders should ask themselves tough questions. Maybe it's time to help someone else make their dream really big. Tomorrow's companies depend on it. Plus that corporate experience could be what makes your next startup a success.

St. Francis, South Dakota
Founded in 1886, St. Francis Mission is a ministry of the Jesuits among the 20,000 Lakota (Sioux) people on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in south-central South Dakota. The mission's purpose is to re-evangelize Catholic Lakota people and bring the Gospel to those who have not heard it. St. Francis Mission respects the traditions of the Lakota people as the mission collaborates with them to meet the spiritual, educational, social and physical needs of the community.
A team of Jesuits works in collaboration with a Lakota deacon, several commissioned Lakota lay ministers and numerous Lakota lay men and women who make the work of the church possible. The Jesuits oversee seven parishes on the mission: St. Agnes, St. Charles Borromeo, St. Bridget's, St. Ignatius, Our Lady of Good Counsel, Sacred Heart and St. Thomas the Apostle Parish.
St. Francis Mission is the largest not-for-profit organization on the Rosebud Reservation that is not a government program. Currently it supports work in the seven parishes; the Icimani Ya Waste Recovery Center; the White River Recovery Center; the Father Jones Religious Education Center in St. Francis; the CYO Religious Education Center in Rosebud; the Wiwila Wakpala after-school center in Spring Creek; the Buechel Memorial Lakota Museum; and KINI Radio 96.1 FM.

About Sandi Patty
The making of an icon began on the fourth of July, 1986 when ABC's phone lines were jammed by the thousands calling to ask, "Who is that?" It was Sandi Patty, unveiling her high notes in a rendition of the National Anthem that only she could unleash. From that moment forward, she never stepped out of the spotlight. Over the next two decades, she sold more than 11 million records, including three RIAA-certified platinum and five gold albums, earned a remarkable 39 Dove Awards, five Grammy Awards. Patty and performed live for millions from concerts to symphonies to inaugurations, all leading to her 2004 induction into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. Stylistically, every route she's taken has led to enormous success. Her first string of albums where tailored to her forte: full orchestras, dramatic arrangement and production, dynamic performance style and unprecedented vocal prowess. After fourteen of these albums in the first four years, including a "best of" that still plays on most Christian stations, she released a number of more contemporary projects, radio-friendly yet still ripe with Patty finesses. Now approaching the 20-year mark in an astounding career, her impact seems to be experiencing a remarkable second wind. She recorded her first live album, turned personal downfall into greater ministry, authored several books and continues to revisit the charts. Having become known for her glass-shattering finales, one can only imagine her musical influence is only going to intensify as she continues to record the kind of music few others are making in the Christian genre. She is epic.

This article was reported by Reuters.
Reuters reported that the pharmaceutical company Gilead Sciences has agreed to sell its new hepatitis C virus (HCV) drug Sovaldi to the Egyptian government for $300 for a one-month supply. The total cost for the recommended 12-week regimen would be $900, instead of the $84,000 price tag in the United States. Gilead agreed to the 99-percent discount because Egypt has the highest HCV prevalence in the world, due largely to the use of poorly sterilized needles during campaigns to eradicate the parasitic disease schistosomiasis. Gilead would offer the reduced price to government clinics; patients could access treatment programs after registering during the first half of 2014. The World Health Organization reported that most of the 150 million people with chronic HCV live in developing countries.
Gilead's Sovaldi was the first drug with the potential to cure or even eradicate HCV if it were affordable for widespread use. Thomson Reuters Pharma estimated that Sovaldi sales for 2017 would total $9.1 billion. Johnson & Johnson, AbbVie, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Merck & Company also were developing oral HCV treatments that showed promising trial results and would not require additional interferon injections.
Health advocates warned of a battle for access between patients in the richer and poorer parts of the world, similar to the friction more than 10 years ago involving HIV/AIDS drugs in Africa. US health insurers have sought assistance from state health officials to pay for Sovaldi, prompting questions from US lawmakers about Gilead's pricing strategies. Gilead had future plans to license Sovaldi to Indian generic pharmaceutical manufacturers, which would market cheaper copies of the drug.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Two weeks after suffering injuries when his wife was killed by a car crashing through their produce stand, the husband has also died.
On Sept. 20, a Lincoln Towncar ran a red light on Moncrief Road and slammed into the stand at the corner of Moncrief and Edgewood Avenue.
Julia Baltierra, 54, had to be rescued from underneath the car but died at the hospital. Channel 4 learned that 65-year-old Pablo Baltierra died Sunday night of multiple organ failure and internal bleeding.
Their son said he died on what was his wife's birthday, leaving the family to plan a second funeral in three weeks.
Witnesses said the car was driving erratically just before crashing into the stand. Police said they believe the driver may have had a medical emergency, which caused the crash. The driver, who was 86 years old and was also hospitalized after the wreck, would not face any charges, according to police.

Reality TV is getting unreal.
At a time when scripted TV programs are being supplanted by reality shows, a program about the real lives of six lesbians in Los Angeles reportedly is being spun off from "The L Word," the Showtime drama that recently wrapped a six-year run.
The news represents the latest evidence that the entertainment industry is short on ideas – or is at least bent on playing things safe. Old TV shows and toys are being turned into movies. An old movie – "Teen Wolf" – is being turned into a TV show for MTV (this one program that – hopefully – has no possibility of a reality show spinoff).
The new "L Word" show isn't the first time the reality TV world has dipped directly into the fictional TV realm. TBS, a few years back, ran a show based on "Gilligan's Island" – though, if you think about it, any setup in which strangers from various backgrounds are dropped into a confined or remote spot owes a debt to the Skipper's little buddy.
Lines have been blurring for a while: "NYC Prep" is "Gossip Girl." "Lost" is "Survivor." "The Office" is a brilliant comedy presented in reality show/documentary style. "Desperate Housewives" brought us noxious "Real Housewives" from all over the country.
Perhaps we're in for a bunch more reality spinoffs. There's got to be a real "House" out there, even if no healthcare provider would pay for all those tests. NBC wouldn't have to leave 30 Rock to shoot a "30 Rock" reality show about "SNL."
Maybe the Hollywood suits will turn to TV classics: "All in the Family" (a real-life Archie Bunker in the Obama era? Watch the sparks fly!); "Friends" (Just hit any New York City Starbucks); "The Flintstones" (the Geico Cavemen could star – wait, no, they already had a sitcom and it flopped).
So, assuming we're in for more of the same, what shows, past or present, would you like to see turned into reality series?

Colonic irrigation is an extended and more complete form of colon cleansing. It involves the process of infusing warm filtered water into the rectum.
Colonic treatment improves muscle tone, reduces stagnation and bacterial build-up in the colon and generally promotes colon health.
Today with modern technological improvements and trained therapists, Colonic Irrigation is an effective way to treat disease and promote wellness. Colonic hydrotherapy not only corrects the ravages of toxicity but also reduces stagnation while exercising and strengthening the muscles of the colon.
As months and years of this toxic glue-like material is removed, the bowel beings to restore its natural peristalsis. The removal of impactions, yeast infections, parasites and cellular debris cleanses and rejuvenates the portion of the immune system that resides in the intestinal tract.

The 3102 error thread is at over 1300 pages. They really need to say something to the playerbase. Hell, I don't even have the error and I stopped playing until it's addressed because I'm not about to repeat progress again if there's a wipe due to corrupted data or something.
They may not have said anything yet because they have nothing to say yet. I'm guessing that's probably the case.
I just don't understand why they don't have a subroutine to disconnect accounts after 15 minutes of inactivity.They already had that in Quake 1 servers, you know, in like 1996.

UPDATE: The folks over at Twitchy point out that MSNBC selectively edited their clip to advance the idea that the father was "heckled." Read our complete breakdown of the evidence in our follow-up story here.
Some of the parents who testified about gun control before a subcommittee of the Connecticut Legislature on Monday called for stricter laws and improvements in mental health care. While Mark Mattioli, whose 6-year-old son James was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School attack, instead, focused upon personal responsibility and a call to civility, other parents mentioned cracking down on so-called assault rifles. Among them was Neil Heslin, a father whose child, Jesse, also perished during the rampage. As he was making his case against assault weapons, he was interrupted by alleged gun rights advocates who were a part of the audience.
Right after Heslin made the point that citizens do not need access to "these assault-style weapons or military weapons," a man in the audience spoke out fervently against the father's appeals.
"The Second Amendment shall not be infringed," he uttered in response to Heslin's seemingly-rhetorical question:
The Daily Mail has a recap of how the incident unfolded, with a hand-full of individuals purportedly joining the man in voicing their angst over the issue:
He said: 'It's not a good feeling. Not a good feeling to look at your child laying in a casket or looking at your child with a bullet wound to the forehead. It's a real sad thing,' said Heslin, who held up a large framed photograph of himself and his son.
A handful of people at the packed legislative hearing then shouted about their Second Amendment rights when Heslin asked if anyone could provide a reason for a civilian to own an assault-style weapon.
'We're all entitled to our own opinions and I respect their opinions and their thoughts,' Heslin said. 'But I wish they'd respect mine and give it a little bit of thought.'
Watch a portion of the incident at the start of the MSNBC clip, below (UPDATE: however, as Twitchy notes, the network edited out the portion where Heslin asks his rhetorical question):
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Following the incident, MSNBC host Martin Bashir covered the event on his show, deriding those who interrupted (or responded, depending on who you ask) and claiming that the behavior was inexcusable; his guests agreed.
"This, I think, has to be a new low in this debate -- the idea that you would desecrate the memory of the victims of Newtown and insult their families," Democratic strategist Julian Epstein said during the segment (watch it in its entirety, above). "This shows just...how extreme and outrageous the NRA -- and I assume the hecklers were NRA moles -- how they've become."
But Twitchy took issue with this assessment, writing:
MSNBC is propping up its story with a blatantly edited video. In fact, Heslin was not heckled. Gun rights advocates in the audience indeed voiced their support for the Second Amendment — after he asked why anyone would need "assault-style weapons or high-capacity clips." You'd never know based on the MSNBC version, which completely cut out the footage of Heslin's question.
Watch the unedited footage, below:
The audience at the Gun Violence Prevention Working Group hearing in Hartford, Conn., numbered well over 1,000 individuals and featured a wide array of perspectives. From people advocating greater firearms controls to NRA-enthusiasts and gun rights activists, ideological diversity was in no shortage.
What do you think about the incident? It seems Heslin was certainly interrupted (unless he wanted the audience to weigh in), but were the responses hecklers or merely passionate Second Amendment adherents? Let us know what you think in the comments section.
Editor's Note: This story has been updated to reflect the fact that audience members may have been responding to a rhetorical question posed by Heslin.

Campus Sustainability Policy
I. Purpose
Radford University is committed to being a model for sustainable campus practices and policies and recognized for our stewardship of economic, social, and environmental resources and for our academic commitment to sustainability. To accomplish this, the university has established and adopted the Campus Sustainability Policy.
This policy applies to all Radford University faculty, staff, students, visitors and contracted services and to all Radford University owned locations. This policy does not apply to facilities that are outside the scope of University control.
II. Definitions
Sustainability is generally defined as "meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". This definition is from the 1987 report of the World Commission on Environment and Development, published as Our Common Future and sometimes referred to as "the Brundtland Report." In this report, the Commission highlighted the need for a balance between economic prosperity, environmental stewardship, and social equity.
III. Policy
The Sustainability Steering Committee recognizes that achieving sustainability will evolve as campus needs, technologies, and opportunities arise.
Radford University is committed to:
- Creating awareness of environmental impacts, concerns, and practices that preserve natural resources
- Establishing sustainability goals & implementing strategies to achieve the goals
- Meeting or exceeding all Federal & State environmental rules & regulations
IV. Procedures
Responsible Parties
The entire campus community plays a pivotal role in how the University progresses in becoming a more sustainable campus. To that end, faculty, staff, students, and campus community members have a responsibility to consider the environmental, economic, and social impacts of their decisions. The Campus Sustainability Policy will be available for review on the Radford University Sustainability website.
Each department head or supervisor should take the following actions:
- Communicate this policy to everyone under his/her supervision.
- Collaborate with other departments, organizations, local and regional agencies to foster sound environmental practices.
- Strive for continuous improvement and ensure the policy is applied to all university operations.

Mining to resolve a dispute, OGIS gets the shaft
CNN's Anderson Cooper talks a lot about transparency. He focused on transparency troubles while covering the gulf oil spill. Watching the Chilean mine rescue unfold, on October 12th Cooper noted that the Chilean government's rescue operations have been more transparent than similar responses to mining disasters in the U.S. If the way the Labor Department ignored the FOIA mediator's office is any gauge, he may have a point.

Nelson Mandela Dead At 95, Hip-Hop Pays Respects
AllHipHop Staff
(AllHipHop News) Nelson Mandela, the consummate South African freedom fighter, has died at the age of 95.
South African President Jacob Zuma made the announcement on Thursday.
Mandela pushed South African from the dregs of apartheid in to democracy that was inclusive of all races. His struggles have been well documented as he endured almost three decades of imprisonment by the White majority. Somehow, he was able to simultaneously prevent a South African Civil War and evolve into an international symbol of peace.
He would go on to become South Africa's first Black president.
"The time for the healing of the wounds has come," he said in his acceptance speech in 1994. "The moment to bridge the chasms that divide us has come. We have, at last, achieved our political emancipation."
Mandela has amassed innumerable awards and he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993, one of his many accolades. AllHipHop will continue to commemorate the life and times of Nelson Mandela.
The Hip-Hop community was no exception to the mourning felt for the icon and many used social media to express their feelings.

"the issue is the big exhaust doesn't have any back pressure, and in fact is evacuating the cylinder of some of it's fresh charge during light throttle operation.

I think it is a great idea.
If you are going to do it though, teach them a little about how to debate. Let them come up with some topics and positions (pro or con) and then let them do a little research. Teach them the importance of being logical with verbal presentation and "backing up" what they say. It will take a little effort but I think it is a great idea.
