Nayati: 'Those kidnappers can't beat me'
KUALA LUMPUR, May 4 — Twelve-year-old Nayati Shamelin Moodliar has faced down the terror of being kidnapped in a foreign country and insists he will continue to walk home from his school here where he was snatched six days ago, his parents told reporters today.
But after the euphoria of being reunited with his family wore off, he showed he was just like any other boy and slept secure in his mother's arms and in his own bed last night.
"On his first day at school, he insisted on walking back home," Nayati's father, Shamelin Moodliar recounted at a news conference here today.
"He (Nayati) said to me, 'I was kidnapped on my way to school, and now I'm walking home from school. Those kidnappers can't beat me'," Moodliar added, his voice choking up with emotion at the recollection.
His wife and Nayati's mother, Janice Smith, told reporters her son had stayed up late last night as he had been celebrating a big welcome home party but finally fell asleep in her arms after six days of being apart.
"He later asked to sleep with me, and had a long, great sleep. It was truly remarkable," she said, sounding close to tears.
Nayati was returned to his family after being found at the Sungai Buloh highway rest stop early yesterday.
He was absent from today's press conference, but his parents sounded proud of how their son had held up during his kidnapping.
They related that, despite being abducted, Nayati had remained upbeat and even asked his kidnappers for chicken rice during mealtimes.
The case had captured public imagination, with posters of the boy appearing across the Klang Valley in various languages.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak also said on Friday via Twitter "I appeal as a father for Nayati not to be harmed in any way," and added that he has spoken to the Inspector-General Police to expedite the case.
Twitter also saw #FindNayatiMoodliar become a trending topic, and the news of his release has spread quickly across the social media platform.
The Dutch family has in the past week kept largely silent over the matter, saying a media blackout was to help ensure Nayati's safety.
Police this morning confirmed that the schoolboy's family had paid a cash ransom to secure his release, but did not disclose the amount.
It was reported that Nayati, who was in his school uniform, had been abducted by two men in a black car on Friday at 7.35am a short distance from his school.
The men were said to have grabbed the boy while he was walking to school, bundled him into the car and sped off.

The Greenfield School District will hire both an interim superintendent and an interim business manager until candidates can be found to fill both positions permanently, the School Board decided Monday.
Superintendent Conrad Farner departed last week to take a job as human resources director for the Cedarburg School District.
Kristen Kollath, director of business services, will leave next month to accept a position with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
The board had offered the interim superintendent position to Todd Bugnacki, director of elementary education, but he said he had to decline because of pressing needs in his current position. He was invited to apply for the superintendent's job.
To get the best candidate for superintendent, the board wanted to take its time with an eye to filling the position at least by July 1. There was a feeling that the appointment should be made considerably earlier so the new superintendent can help choose a business manager.
The superintendent and business manager work so closely together that a good match was felt to be important.

When day two of the 2013 Tim Selinske United States Masters Championships was set to begin, the clouds started to build over Cedarock Park. The Carolinas have a propensity to deliver afternoon showers in late Spring, and today would be no different. With a two hour downpour in the early afternoon, the players would not only be challeng
With less than five weeks remaining until the Tim Selinske US Masters, this years event is shaping up to be a specialone. To start with, the Selinske family will be arriving from California in time for the players meeting, and staying forthe entire event.
This weekend saw 200 players held hostage to the fortune of the Shawshank DG Course in Huntsville, Texas for the Innova sponsored Tim Selinske US Masters Championships. This annual event, now held in memory of Tim, proved to be one of the toughest tests of player's patience and fortitude, attributes he had in abundance.
Congratulations to our 2011 Tim Selinske US Masters Champions
It was another hot and windy day at the Tim Selinske US Masters but competitors appeared to be enjoying the golf and the competition. In addition to another 27 holes at the ShawShank course players were also treated to a meal featuring beef stew and live music.
It was hot at the 2011 Tim Selinske US Masters Championships, both literally and figuratively. The temperatures in Huntsville, Texas were near record breaking in the low 90s and the winds in the afternoon were 20+ miles per hour.

Local Reaction to Pope's Decision to Resign
Pope Benedict is resigning at the end of this month making him the first pontiff to choose to leave the papacy in nearly 60 years.
The pope has less than a month left in his position, with February 28th at 8PM set to be the pope's last day as the Holy Father.
Erie Catholic Diocese Bishop Lawrence Persico says he was shocked when he heard the news.
During a meeting with the cardinals, Pope Benedict said in Latin: "Both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months has deteriorated in me."
He's been leading the world's more than one billion Catholics after being chosen in 2005 to replace Pope John Paul The Second.
Bishop Persico reflected on Benedict's decision to step down this afternoon.
He says he was shocked when he heard the news because it's been 600 years since a bishop resigned.
He says as the "universal pastor", it was challenging for Benedict to keep up with the demands of the job.
Bishop Persico says Benedict's decision says a lot about his character, saying Pope Benedict showed an excellent example of selfless leadership.

Two Men. Two World Wars. Two lives knitted together as tight as a thrice darned sock. Bound together by birth, business and bloody bad luck, Albert and Harold Steptoe wake up every morning to the same old, same old, sickening sight of each other. Joined at the hip and heart, they bother, bicker and banter their way through life - toying with each others frailties like mean kittens. Do they even notice the world turning as they cling on? There are ladies if they would only look around them, and space travel... and Cliff Richard! "Open your eyes" we shout from the stalls! "Look up at the moon and count the stars!" But they can't. Or won't. Families, eh?
Our Review:
Shane Morgan - 24 January 2013
Galton and Simpson are often referred to as the founding fathers of television sitcom. With Masters of Comedy such as Tony Hancock, Kenneth Williams, Sid James, Spike Milligan and Frankie Howerd under their belt, the comedy writing industry have a lot to thank Ray and Alan for.
Steptoe and Son had its origins in a one off comedy written for TV. Eight series later, it became one of the BBC�s greatest successes. Here, Emma Rice from Kneehigh revisits the original scripts and has produced a stage version of the classic show.
We are told in the programme notes that Rice has used four episodes that act as a �spine or map� for the production. What quickly becomes clear is that rather than being a map, it dictates the framework and turns out to be four episodes adapted for the stage rather than one story or an arc for the characters.
This framework presents problems. Rice has chosen four memorable and classic episodes that in the structure of the series proved to be...
Mike Shepherd (Albert)
Dean Nolan (Harold)
Kirsty Woodward
Kneehigh (Producer)
West Yorkshire Playhouse (Producer)
Emma Rice (Director)
Neil Murray (Design)
Simon Baker (Sound)

They had some intense rivalry games over the years – games that often came down to who had the ball last. The success of one spurred the other. However, in 1971, no team in South Carolina could touch the Lockhart Red Devils and in 1990 there was none better than the Wildcats of Jonesville.
"We took the rivalry between Jonesville and Lockhart serious," said Lockhart's 1971 Championship Head Coach Lawrence "Monk" Vanderford. "But I took every game serious. I wanted to beat Jonesville, but again, I wanted to beat every team we played."
In 1971, his Red Devils did just that, ending a perfect season with a 42-16 win over Blackville in the State Championship game.
"We got down to the State Championship game in Orangeburg and they had us down 16-0," recalled Vanderford. "Our running back, Lawrence Wilson, broke his ankle so we had to makeshift and we beat them 46-16.
"We had been together several years, the boys had played together. Back at that time we had Roger Vanderford at quarterback, Jimmy Stroud at running back, Lawrence Wilson at running back, Ronnie Crocker as an end, Wayne Grady as an end, Micky Sims at tackle, Willie Garner at tackle, Charlie Howell was center, Butch Carter was a guard and Jerry Gibson was a guard. That was the offensive team. We were as good passing as we were running. It was just boys that had gelled together and they had a lot of capabilities."
Twenty one years later, on the other side of Union County, Jonesville sprouted a State Championship team although Head Coach Pat Littlejohn said it probably should have come a year earlier.
"We really thought that our best shot at a State Championship was the year before," Littlejohn explained. "We had a bunch of seniors on our '89 team and we ended up losing two games that year. The last game we lost was in the Upper State finals at Lewisville. I remember getting together with our juniors right before we loaded the bus and saying 'You see those guys, the seniors, walking around here crying? If you don't want that to happen next year, you better get in the weight room and you better get to work.'"
The result the head coach got was a 1990 Wildcat team with a chip on its shoulder, physical, determined and hungry for a championship.
"One thing that happened was that we won the first game of the season and then in the second game we were up 14-7 against Chesnee with about 4:00 to go in the game and ended up losing," he said. "We pointed to that game for the rest of the year and never eased up until the final gun. We felt like the loss to Chesnee probably helped us win the State Championship.
"That 1990 team was very quick, very strong," he added. "We took a lot of pride in our conditioning and our strength. Our kids would play until they just about had to crawl off the field. I mean, they absolutely loved playing football."
Vanderford said his '71 team at Lockhart was also driven by a desire to be the best. Theirs was a confident club that knew what it was capable of and would do whatever was necessary to win. This is what sets championship teams apart.
"They wanted to win," Vanderford declared. "The main thing was they wanted to win. There was no doubt that the confidence was there. There was no bragging or nothing, it was just the camaraderie between us coaches and those players and when we left the locker room everybody just felt like, 'Hey, we're gonna win. Period. That's it. No if's, ands, or buts about it.'"

What Does the Research Say?
Since the Healing Touch program is relatively new, research on Healing Touch is still in its early stages. As of August 2008, there were 115 completed research studies on Healing Touch.
Both professional organizations, Healing Touch International and the Healing Touch Program, carry out active research programs. Their websites contain completed research projects and research in process. Research in other energy-based therapies like therapeutic touch have also increased understanding of some energy therapies in the areas of pain relief, anxiety, enhancing immune function, and accelerating wound healing.
What are some of the issues with the research?
Researching Healing Touch is challenging since the exact mechanism of action cannot be seen or easily explained.
In addition, researchers have often found it difficult to measure the effects of Healing Touch and to determine whether outcomes can be attributed solely to the Healing Touch techniques or to other factors. It is commonly assumed that the mere presence of the Healing Touch practitioner may have an affect on client outcomes.
What are some of the interesting results?
- Pain relief:
Various studies show some pain relief with Healing Touch. In 1995,
Slater studied twenty-three patients with pain from abdominal surgery.
One group received two Healing Touch techniques and the other group
simply had a nurse pay attention to them. Slater found that there was
more pain relief with the Healing Touch techniques than from the
nurse's attention alone.
Wardell published a pilot study in 2005 of twelve patients with chronic pain from a spinal cord injury. In weekly home visits, one group received Healing Touch and the other group got instructions in progressive relaxation. The study measured the pain level, mood, and satisfaction of both groups and found some reduction of the pain in the Healing Touch group and less fatigue. However, there was a wide difference among individuals. - Reduction in fatigue, depression and anxiety: A 2001 study by Guerrerio, Slater, and Cook examined the effectiveness of Healing Touch in reducing fatigue from radiation therapy in sixty-two women with gynecological and breast cancers. The Healing Touch group had a greater reduction in fatigue than the control group, as well as more improvement of their depression, anxiety, and anger.
- Managing symptoms of cancer treatments: A 2003 study by Post-White, Kinney and others measured the effects of Healing Touch and therapeutic massage on cancer patients. They enrolled 230 patients with cancer who were receiving the identical repeating cycle of chemotherapy in a study. They found that Healing Touch and therapeutic massage are effective in reducing pain, anxiety, and fatigue and increasing relaxation. There was no significant effect on nausea.
- Stress reduction: In 2006, DuBrey studied the effects of Healing Touch on patients recovering from alcoholism. She randomly placed 148 patients admitted to a hospital for alcoholism into two groups, one of which received Healing Touch. The heart rate of patients receiving Healing Touch went down more and they were happier, more satisfied, and had a greater reduction in pain. There was also evidence that the Healing Touch group was less tense and upset.
- Wound and post-operative recovery: Zimmer, Meier, and Rolf (2009) reported on the effect of Healing Touch on children's pain and comfort in the postoperative period. This study reviewed the clinical records of 1,613 patients who received Healing Touch therapy. The study provided preliminary support for the use of healing touch therapy to decrease pain and increase comfort for children during the postoperative period.

Doesn't ambition unfulfilled feel just as bad as never trying? Here are my thoughts, most of which are serious. We talked about it in Sharts of Grey, which is a mature way to talk about life.

The government of Ecuador is considering the request.
As Mr Assange is in the Ecuadorean embassy he is in diplomatic territory
and beyond the reach of the police. We will seek to work with the
Ecuadorean authorities to resolve this situation as soon as possible.
10.04am: Here's the full statement from the police:
On 7 December 2010, officers from the Metropolitan Police Service's Extradition Unit arrested Julian Assange on behalf of the Swedish authorities.
Julian Assange, now 40 (d/ob 3/7/71), was arrested on a European Arrest Warrant by appointment at a London police station.
He is accused by the Swedish authorities of one count of unlawful coercion, two counts of sexual molestation and one count of rape, all alleged to have been committed in August 2010.
Assange appeared at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court on 7 December 2010.
He was later granted bail by the High Court, subject to a number of bail conditions. One condition was to remain at his bail address between 22.00hrs and 08.00hrs.
At around 22.20hrs on Tuesday, 19 June, the MPS was notified that Assange had breached one of those bail conditions.
He is now subject to arrest under the Bail Act for breach of these conditions.
Officers are aware of his location at The Ecuador Embassy in Hans Crescent, London.
9.55am: Good morning and welcome to our live blog charting the events surrounding the somewhat surprising move by Julian Assange to claim asylum at Ecuador's embassy in the UK.

Marv Albert + Taj Gibson Dunks = Awesomeness
I just can't believe we didn't get "WITH THE FACIAL!" Then, he had an awesome one-handed putback. Sometimes, the greatest call is just OOOHHHHH!!!
Fox's baseball telecasts have been uninspiring for several years now. Many fans have made it clear that the pairing of Joe Buck and Tim McCarver just doesn't cut it anymore. Perhaps some of that disinterest and dissatisfaction is showing in the TV ratings, where Fox finished last amongst its Big 4 network brethren in Saturday primetime in spite of the YANKS and the SAWX!! And, as it turns out, in spite of Sarah Silverman...
When will network sports execs realize that celebrity interviews during the game are a terrible idea?! It tells the viewer that the game isn't good enough to keep our attention. Traditionally, celebrity interviews are nothing more than cheap advertisement for a new show on the network, or a misguided attempt at entertainment. I think we lost an entire season of Monday Night Football to in-game celebrity interviews. The only one that was memorable of course, was one that caused Jimmy Kimmel to be banned from ESPN. If we wanted to see celebrity interviews or meltdowns, we would be watching E!, or at least Meatloaf on Celebrity Apprentice. (Just imagine if someone told him his tag was sticking out of his shirt, sheesh.) Celebrity interviews during games are usually nothing but a tedious, boring, unnecessary distraction and when they do make news, it's for creating awkward train wreck television.
So why Fox thought that comedian and Red Sox fan Sarah Silverman was necessary to add to the Saturday night YANKS/SAWX telecast is beyond me. Maybe they were trying to reach that portion of the audience that was thirsting for a C level comedian to analyze their team. Maybe Fox wanted us to long for Artie Lange and the days of Joe Buck Live, who knows. I'm not a fan of her comedy, but listening to her try to escape Fox censors with "Massholes" and argue for the benefits of pitchers on LSD was great train wreck TV. It was the most entertainment Fox MLB coverage has seen in a long time (that's not a good thing by the way). You can only imagine Joe Buck reliving the horror of Artie Lange over and over again in his mind. Oh, and in case you're wondering, Buck's vocal cords have been hit by a virus, not by depression for having to work with McCarver for another year. The morbid tone of Joe's voice only makes this in-game interview more horrendous. The whole thing lasts six minutes and is worth a listen for a good laugh... or if you are an aspiring sports TV producer and want to find out the exact opposite thing of what to do with your telecast...
My favorite part of the interview is Buck saying that Silverman is on the telecast because a Fox executive saw Silverman on a flight wearing a Red Sox hat. GENIUS! Let's have her back for the World Series. Maybe she should just replace Timmy and Silverman & Buck can tour the country with their stand-up baseball routine. Sometimes I wonder what goes through these people's heads sometimes...

If you can't get enough South Florida from the Heat Index alone, breathe easy, because the Worldwide Runner-up is expected to confirm this week that 790 the Ticket's Dan Le Batard will be hosting a regular 30 minute TV show next fall.
Le Batard's multi-media career will take its biggest step yet when ESPN2 announces next week that it will give him his own TV show, from 4 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays beginning Sept. 12.
The title: Dan Le Batard is Highly Questionable. The name was suggested by Erik Rydholm, executive producer of Pardon the Interruption.
Le Batard will continue hosting his radio show but will cut back from four hours to three (probably 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., though that remains in discussions). He will tape the TV program a short time before airing, which will allow him to do his radio show when the TV show airs.
"I won't be live. I drown in a puddle of my own sweat in live television," Le Batard said. "Nobody wants to see that. Well, actually some people might want to see that."
PTI fans who have seen Le Batard called up to fill in for a vacationing Kornheiser/Wilbon probably already know that 1. he is prone to sweating on camera and 2. he is "highly questionable." But as anyone who gets the appeal of PTI's format understands, there is value in having a bloated contrarian espouse his opinion for others to argue with. I don't know if this show will get off the ground, or how it will affect the incumbent at 4:00, SportsNation, but if it means cutting down on the daily serving of Colin Cowherd by half an hour, I'm all for it.
Full disclosure: As a native Miamian, I listen to the Le Batard show (which is barley a sports show btw) regularly on 790, and my only complaint about the show is that he can be insanely repetitive. Like sentence to sentence. What I mean is that Dan Le Batard, South Florida AM radio host and Miami Herald columnist Dan Lebatard, is repetitive - that is to say he repeats himself constantly. He says things, and then he re-says them, reader. He then solicits a response from co-host Stugotz by repeating the same statement a third or even a fourth time while Stugotz forms an opinion, while also making sure to say the name Stugotz at least a couple of times throughout this process. I guess what I'm trying to say is the guy is repetitive. He repeats himself, if I'm not being clear.
Maybe the fact that his TV show is scheduled to run just 30 minutes and will be taped by cutting an hour off of his radio show will help him avoid leaning on that crutch. Plus it means that net-net, Le Batard haters get to live in a world where Dan is on the airwaves for 30 minutes less every day, so it's a potential win-win for everyone.

Another day, another ESPN personality in trouble with the law. This time, it's hockey analyst Matthew Barnaby, who was arrested tonight on charges of domestic violence in a story that is just breaking within the hour. Barnaby has been an ESPN hockey analyst since 2008 and one of the few hockey analysts actually visible across the ESPN family of networks. Here's some details in a report by WIVB in Buffalo...
Former Buffalo Sabre Matthew Barnaby was arrested Friday night, charged with domestic violence.
Amherst Police responded to a location at 6:15 p.m. and found serious damage to property. The location is being kept private to protect two female victims, who police say were not injured.
The former right winger was arrested and charged with second degree criminal contempt, harassment, second degree criminal trespass, and second degree criminal mischief. Police say after leaving the location, he made angry phone calls, and Barnaby has also been charged with aggravated harassment via a cell phone.
For the record, Barnaby had been romantically linked with fellow ESPNer Michelle Beadle in prior months. In fact, Beadle confirmed to the Big Lead in March that the pair had been dating since Fall 2010. As the WIVB report makes clear, details are non-existent to protect two unnamed female victims and it's not fair to speculate on any more information until more facts are available. ESPN has never been the most forthright entity in terms of their discipline of on-air personalities, but needless to say this report does not look good for Barnaby and you would expect the network to act swiftly. We'll have more details as the story develops.
***Update - For what it's worth, The Big Lead is reporting that Beadle is not involved in this story. It is the same site that also confirmed Beadle's relationship with Barnaby from her directly.
***Update II (Saturday Afternoon) - Buffalo News has more details on Barnaby's arrest and more information regarding the case on the day after the story broke...
Former Buffalo Sabres player Matthew Barnaby pleaded not guilty today in Amherst Town Court to five charges, including one felony, following a Friday evening domestic incident involving his estranged wife and another adult...
Barnaby faces charges of felony criminal mischief, criminal contempt, criminal trespass, harassment and aggravated harassment. The most serious charge, felony criminal mischief, carries a possible prison term of up to four years in jail, if he were convicted.
ESPN's report on Barnaby pleading not guilty to the charges includes their original comment from Friday night - "We just learned of this so it would be inappropriate for us to comment."

Well, it is Friday the 13th, a fact that I did not realize earlier tonight when I tweeted this regarding Justin Verlander throwing another no-hitter through 5.1 IP against the Royals. It was just a harmless tweet... what could it really do??? Of course, since it is in fact Friday the 13th, Verlander allowed a hit approximately 13 seconds later. Sorry, Detroit. So, to raise everyone's spirits, I share with you ESPN's Mike Greenberg screaming like a Scream Queens contestant thanks to one of the Mike & Mike staffers dressing like some sort of cross between Rey Mysterio, Dracula, and Nacho Libre. By the way, if you're looking for a scary movie to watch on Friday the 13th, I recommend Nacho Libre. That thing was frighteningly bad. In fact, I would rather listen to Colin Cowherd narrate Pride and Prejudice than watch that atrocity again. I'm rambling now... let's just enjoy the clip before I jinx something else...
Congratulations, casual golfer! You could have had a chance to beat Tiger Woods yesterday at the Players Championship, where the eagerly anticipated "Tiger becoming Tiger again" didn't quite happen. Woods said he felt his problematic left knee buckle during his first tee shot and was barely able to walk through the front nine, shooting a 42(!) in the process.
"The knee acted up, and then the Achilles followed after that, and then the calf started cramping up," Woods said. "Everything started getting tight, so it's just a whole chain reaction."
There were also some good ol' fashioned horrible shots which were unrelated to the leg.
"It grabbed me on the tee shot there. But the pitch shots weren't [due to injury]. Those were just bad pitch shots. Those were just awful."
Tiger Woods had 99 problems at the tournament, but for the first time in a long time, a female was not among them. Somebody tell that to Dan Hellie of WRC in Washington D.C.
In Mr. Hellie's defense, Tiger is probably knee deep in hookers right now. Look, I've shot more than my share of 42/9's in my day and it ain't pretty. You don't just chalk that up as a loss, hop in the Escalade, and go pick up the kids from mommy's. You drink heavily at the turn, leave with half your clubs, head straight to the Jiggly Room to throw down a couple more vodka-Gatorades and find a lady of the night to lick your wounds.

These responses are from that report. For a full copy of the report, visit http://www.webcommission.org. Please note that responses are focused on my experience with distance-based learning practices.)
Today's assessment should be measuring what a student can do, rather than whether he can memorize facts and repeat information without any demonstration of performance utilizing that information. Web-based instruction requires teachers to use alternative forms of assessments. The paper/pencil exam must give way to portfolio assessments, project-based learning, and the utilization of technology to provide students an avenue for demonstrating knowledge.
The Internet allows for a variety of ways of gathering information about student performance. It can facilitate one-on-one evaluation of a student by a teacher outside the boundaries of time and location. Innovative assessment tools need to be assessed as they emerge from teachers and students using new technologies. As new ways of delivering content are developed, appropriate assessment methods should be included as part of the development process.
As technologies improve, the delivery of content needs to move from the text only material of the 70's and 80's through the sight and sound materials of the 90's into the addressing of all of the senses in an effort to improve effectiveness and efficiency of learning. Students want to touch it, smell it and taste it, as well as see it in 3-D and hear it in surround sound. In addition, the amount of information presented cannot be the same as in a traditional classroom. If traditional classrooms would use similar methods to teach students as are used in DE courses, such as Web Quests, we would find that the amount of content would decrease and the quality of information learned would improve.
The Florida High School has utilized the following evaluation methods to monitor student achievement:

CAP 5 - Policy Review Summary
We need to address several issues with the Create-A-Pokemon Project in the Policy Review period between now and the start of BW CAP 5. Unlike some of the more recent Policy Review periods, I will be taking the lead role in driving those PR threads. I have been discussing many of these issues with CAP moderators and working on the PR threads behind the scenes for several weeks. This period of Policy Review will likely be one of the most significant and in-depth CAP reviews we have had in years.
Some of the upcoming policy review proposals are very, very long. I will bring up a lot of CAP history, dating all the way back to the very beginnings of this project. I will be going into a lot of detail about past and current CAP operations, dissecting what I believe to be key elements contributing to our problems, with the hope that it will give us a better foundation to figure out how to address those problems. I tend to write a lot anyway, so I apologize in advance for slamming you with some large walls of text! Here is a summary of the Policy Reviews that are upcoming:
I am not posting this to start any of these discussions here. I'm just giving you an idea of what to expect. If you want to participate in these discussions and you think you have the appropriate experience and background to contribute positively to the policy reviews, then sign up here to be a member of the CAP Policy Review Committee. I look forward to everyone's involvement as we chart the path ahead for Create-A-Pokemon. |

Here we are, over two months later, and we have completed one of the biggest Policy Review cycles in Create-A-Pokemon history. If you read the OP and cross-reference that with the threads in the CAP Policy Review subforum, you will see that we tackled every single issue that we intended to cover. It was a much longer and harder process than I expected, and I'm definitely "worn out" when it comes to talking about CAP policy. But I'm glad we put in the time and effort to vet all the issues properly, and I think the CAP project will be better off for it in the future.
Thank you to all the members of the Policy Review Committee for their efforts in helping shape the policies of this project. I realize that many of our intrepid PR members had no idea what was going to be thrown at them when they signed up. You were deluged with a lot of CAP history and details that exposed some of the uglier parts of the CAP project, and I appreciate your patience and understanding as we worked through every thread. Hopefully you got some good stuff out of it too, and learned some new and interesting things. I've been doing CAP longer than just about anybody, and I learned a few new things myself, so I appreciate the knowledge everyone shared. This latest PR cycle started long before the posting of this thread, with planning discussions as far back as the summer of 2012. I started writing the Leadership Compendium post in July or August, iirc. For me personally, this PR cycle has been my top priority in Smogon for the past five months or so. I have a deep attachment to this project, and I felt like we needed a course correction of sorts. But CAP has a history of enacting change as a group, not via executive edict -- so I knew big changes would require a big group effort. So I treated this PR cycle almost like a CAP pokemon creation. With the help of the mods, I laid out a series of steps, each of which would build on the steps before it, and enlisted help from the most active and interested participants in the community. I had a clear idea of what each step was intended to achieve, and had proposals for every issue -- but I never assumed all the proposals would go through. In fact, I EXPECTED all the proposals to change. My goal was for us to address every issue, and I didn't really care HOW we addressed them. The proposals I put forward were more as examples of how to address the issue, rather than firm "my way or the highway" commands. Each PR thread went in directions I could not have foreseen beforehand. In some cases, we chose to NOT take specific actions on some issues. And that's perfectly OK with me, at least we discussed the issues and made an overt choice to not change anything. In other cases, we made dramatic policy changes that you will see implemented starting with CAP 5. I don't completely agree with all the policies we ended up with, but I feel like the process of developing those policies was the result of a good collaborative effort. So I think this PR cycle stayed true to the oft-quoted CAP motto, "It's about the journey, not the destination". Thank you to everyone who helped in this endeavor. ------------ Immediately following this post, Birkal will post a summary of the key changes made during this policy review cycle. After that, this thread is now open for posts from the community. If any other Moderators or PRC members want to give their own summary or comments, then you can use this thread as home base for "Reviewing the Policy Review Cycle", so to speak. If any other CAP enthusiasts or newcomers have been following the policy reviews from afar and want to comment on the PR cycle in general now that we're done, go right ahead. This thread is NOT to be used for purposes of trying to change policy or make specific change proposals, so please direct your comments accordingly. |

We have the technology.
For those of you who have not been following the Policy Review Committee closely over the past two months, have no fear! I'm writing this post to provide a summary of the new changes we're implementing to the CAP process. I will try to be as thorough as possible, but there might be a few small details that fall through the cracks. Therefore, feel free to bring up any questions, comments, or criticisms that you have in this thread. Also, if you're reading this as a guest to Smogon's forums, that means that you cannot view our Policy Review forum. If you wish to see its contents, make an account here!
And that's about it! We're finishing up a final Policy Review thread on Leadership Structure right now. I'll keep you posted on the results of that thread once they have been decided upon. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about these new process rules and guides, now is the time to post them in this thread. |

Are the abilities created for previous CAP Pokemon banned from the process as well? I think, especially since two of the previously created abilities are outclassed by some real abilities, it might be worth keeping them on the table for discussion. Maybe.

As per the abilities thread, yes. All future CAPs will only have abilities that appear on real pokemon. Good question though!

So I figure I should be next to make a big mean summary post.
Rather than go over the history again since Birkal and Doug covered that pretty well, I'll just give my overall impressions of the policy results going forward. CAP Leadership Compendium: All of you should read this or I will hunt you down. Yes, YOU. Not the other members of the forum who may have read this post in the past or will in the future. You. NOW. DO IT! Topic Leadership: Leadership has always been a crucial aspect of the CAP Forum, and since the beginning we had always trusted one person to be able to lead discussions and take stock of community consensus. What started with what we called the "mini-mod" resulted in the "Weak TL" Model. When our community got larger, trying to get consensus really got unmanageable. CAP 8 literally had 52 Concepts to select from in the first round, and this was before we developed IRV. So afterward we decided not only should our Topic Leader assess the consensus, they should also help drive and focus it toward competitive ends. This gave us the "Strong TL" Model. I go over this only to point out a certain irony in that we eventually relied on our Strong TLs so much that they effectively became "mini-mods", right down to giving them actual Project Mod status. The intent to drive and focus discussion competitively morphed into a way to drive and focus toward the Strong TLs goals - more subtly in some cases that others. It was the obviousness of the abuse of that policy in CAP 4 that brought the current policy to a head. I've been in that hot seat for 1.5 projects. It is extremely difficult to tow the line between being forceful and being overbearing, and the prolonged stress can definitely lead to a burnout if you aren't prepared for it going in. As much as I think we accomplished a lot with the Strong TL model, the restructuring is going to take the boil off of the TL and keep the discussion focused on the competitive elements like it should be. I was very clear in what I thought a policy change should look like and I'm glad my skeleton for the restructuring was adopted. In the end I don't think it was just one person who couldn't properly handle the job. The job itself had become too big, and was too much to balance on one plate given the growth in the community. We are a far cry away from the participation in projects like Syclant and Revenankh, and the competitive scene became far and away more complex in the 5th Generation. While I still think it was amazing to see one person able to take on a project and I will miss that, I think the restructuring will allow superior leadership to shine through without burning a person out. Recruiting: I've always been fishing for ways to get more recruits, and I think Theorymon had the right ideas on this one. We've also done a lot to try and make the main CAP Forum less cloying with fewer process threads and more open threads, analyses, teams etc. Abilities: As a general rule I am opposed to hard bans, but I am pleased we came up with a discussion control mechanism that will hopefully be of great help in CAP 5 and beyond. I feel it is unlikely we will revisit these lists before Gen VI comes out (when we will have to revamp them anyway), but I think the resolution we came to will serve us well. Flavor Steps: Mmmmmm. Flavor.... Meting out a policy here was important for the process, even though I'm not a huge fan of long rulesets. Ultimately I think it will be a good control mechanism and prevent drive-by postings, or at least make action against them justifiable.

Walt Disney World's fireworks shows might be designed to be seen inside the theme parks, but there are plenty of other places on Disney property where guests can enjoy them.
My family has a tradition of having dinner at the Polynesian Resort on the Fourth of July and then walking down to the beach for the water pageant and fireworks, where the music is piped in. Though it is crowded, it is nothing like being wedged shoulder to shoulder inside the theme parks. The kids can run around and play, the adults can enjoy tropical drinks, and we beat all the traffic home — everyone leaves happy.
The Magic Kingdom fireworks can be seen from many vantage points around Seven Seas Lagoon, including rooms, restaurants and beaches at the Grand Floridian, the Contemporary Resort, the Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness campground. And, if your timing is perfect, you just might see the show from the monorails or resort boat launches.
Be aware that at this late date, it will be difficult to get a dining reservation at any of these hotels. However, you can still eat at one of the counter-service restaurants and enjoy the fireworks. To do so, you'll need to park at the Transportation & Ticket Center (cost: $14 per car) and take a monorail, ferry or bus to your destination. Parking at the hotels on July 4 is limited to guests who are staying there or who have a dining reservation, and it definitely is enforced.
On Independence Day, "Celebrate America Fireworks" will be shown at 9 p.m. in the Magic Kingdom in place of the seasonal "Summer Nightastic! Fireworks Spectacular."
Want to share your favorite place to view the Magic Kingdom fireworks? Tell us about it in the comments.


text: Yeah, I got caught up since I last posted. Frankly, from what I've seen, I don't think anyone has made accusations that it was you doing the drive by iwc alt stuff. I actually thought it was wb 79. I think Dennis just assumed it would come from the efed section, and since he is primarily in IWA< he threw us under the bus. Either way, not the case bucko

Program Snapshot
The Common Fund's Building Blocks, Biological Pathways, and Networks program is designed to develop new technologies for studying molecular events that comprise biological pathways and networks in cells in order to catalyze studies of normal and disease-related processes. The program consists of three initiatives:
Program Highlights
New approach allows for a greater understanding of how genomes are organized in cells
Genomes, contained within chromosomes, encode the hereditary information inside each of our cells. The Human Genome Project, completed in 2003, was a large scale effort to decode the full DNA sequence from humans. While this was a milestone in modern technology, we have now come to understand that in addition to the sequence, the three-dimensional conformation of the genome plays a fundamental role in the expression of genes.

When you purchase reclaimed barnwood furniture, you not only enjoy its beauty and uniqueness, but you also feel good about helping the environment. Eco-friendly furniture is not a new idea. Americans have refinished, re-used, and created furniture from weathered wood for centuries. Barnwood furniture was the first reclaimed furniture, and was popular all over the United States. Generations of artisans and furniture craftsmen in New England, Texas, Montana, and other regions had their own distinctive barnwood furniture style. Now, even barnwood is rare. Yet, the look of naturally-weathered wood gets more popular every year. Each piece within the Wyoming Collection has unique coloration and a natural patina. Most of the reclaimed boards have endured ten or more years in the rugged plains and mountains of Wyoming. The barnwood furniture has widely varying knot patterns, grain designs, and beautiful colors - ranging from rich grays to hints of orange and deep rust. The Wymoming Collection is an innovative blend of reclaimed, weathered wood fused with regionally-harvested solid woods. This high-quality furniture is made by skilled artisans in Laramie, Wyoming.
