Chicken, Black Bean, and Red Pepper Salad with Spicy Avocado Dressing! |
As soon as the chicken is cool, chop it (or the rotisserie chicken) into 1/2 inch pieces.
Mix the chicken with about half the dressing, and let it marinate while you prep the other ingredients.
Finely chop a red bell pepper.
Slice up enough of the green ends of green onions to make 1/2 cup sliced green onions.
(Makes 4-6 servings; recipe created by Kalyn with inspiration from Ultra Easy Avocado Sauce or Dip.)
Salad Ingredients:
4 cups diced, cooked chicken breast (start with two chicken breasts and poach them, or use diced rotisserie chicken)
1 can black beans (15 oz.) rinsed and drained
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 cup sliced green onion, green part preferred
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Dressing Ingredients:
1 cup Ultra Easy Avocado Sauce or Dip
3 T buttermilk or milk
This salad keeps well for a day or two in the refrigerator but I liked it best with a little extra dressing mixed in after it had been refrigerated.

Gene therapy company bluebird bio Inc. (NASDAQ:BLUE) raised $101 million in an IPO through the sale of a bumped-up number of shares above its proposed price range. The company sold 5.9 million shares at $17, which values the company at $387.8 million. Earlier this month, bluebird had amended its IPO and said it planned to sell 5 million shares at $14-$16. The shares are slated to start trading on Wednesday. JPMorgan; BofA Merrill Lynch; Cowen; Canaccord; and Wedbush are underwriters. Late this year, bluebird plans to start Phase II/III testing of Lenti-D to treat childhood cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). Lenti-D is a hematopoietic stem cell therapy with a lentiviral vector encoding the wild-type gene that encodes the ALD protein. bluebird went public during the first real IPO window since 2000. Prior to the company's IPO, sixteen companies had gone out since the start of the year, raising almost $1 billion (see BioCentury, June 17).
Exact Sciences Corp. (NASDAQ:EXAS) raised $67.9 million through the sale of 5.5 million shares at $12.35 in a follow-on underwritten by Jefferies; Baird; William Blair; Canaccord; and Mizuho. Exact Sciences proposed the follow-on late Monday, when its share price was $12.59. On Tuesday, the company was up $0.24 to $12.83. Last week, Exact Sciences said it submitted the final module of a PMA to FDA for Cologuard as a colorectal cancer screening test. Cologuard is a non-invasive stool DNA test that uses a multiplexed quantitative Invader assay for the simultaneous detection of methylated and unmethylated sequences in the promoter region of the vimentin (VIM) gene (see BioCentury Extra, June 10).
Prosensa B.V. (Leiden, the Netherlands) amended its IPO and now plans to sell 5 million shares at $11-$13. At the $12 midpoint, Prosensa would raise $60 million and be valued at $408 million. JPMorgan; Citigroup; Leerink; Wedbush; KBC Securities; and Trout Capital are underwriters. In May, Prosensa proposed to raise up to $60 million in the offering. Prosensa is one of three companies vying to gain the first approved drug for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The company's drisapersen (PRO051) is in Phase III testing, with data expected in 4Q13. GlaxoSmithKline plc (LSE:GSK; NYSE:GSK) has exclusive, worldwide rights from Prosensa under a 2009 deal to develop and commercialize the antisense oligoribonucleotide that induces exon 51 skipping on the dystrophin gene (see BioCentury, June 3).
FDA issued a drug safety communication warning that two patients died 3-4 days after receiving an appropriate dose of schizophrenia drug Zyprexa Relprevv olanzapine from Eli Lilly and Co. (NYSE:LLY). The long-acting antipsychotic is approved with a REMS that requires patients be continuously monitored at a REMS-certified health care facility for at least three hours following an injection and be accompanied home from the facility. The drug's label also includes warnings about the risk of post-injection delirium sedation syndrome, a condition in which the drug enters the blood stream too fast following an intramuscular injection and causes elevated blood levels. According to the agency, the two patients had "very high olanzapine blood levels." FDA said it is providing information to health care professionals while it continues to investigate the unexplained deaths. Lilly said based on available information it is unable to conclude whether the two deaths were related to administration of Zyprexa Relprevv, but the pharma said it remains confident in the drug's benefit-risk profile. Lilly reported $1.7 billion in 2012 sales for its Zyprexa franchise; it does not break out sales from the franchise, which includes an oral formulation of the monoaminergic receptor antagonist marketed as Zyprexa. The oral formulation lost EU and U.S. patent protection in 2011.
Pharming Group N.V. (Euronext:PHARM) and partner Santarus Inc. (NASDAQ:SNTS) said FDA accepted for review a resubmitted BLA for Ruconest conestat alfa to treat acute attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE). The PDUFA date is April 16, 2014. The partners said FDA plans to hold a meeting of its Blood Products Advisory Committee to discuss Ruconest, but the meeting hasn't been scheduled. FDA refused to file a BLA for the product in 2011 (see BioCentury Extra, April 17). The BLA acceptance triggered a $5 million milestone to Pharming from Santarus under a 2010 deal granting Santarus exclusive, North American commercialization rights to Ruconest. The recombinant human complement 1 (C1) esterase is already marketed in the EU for HAE. Santarus was up $0.76 to $22.28 on Tuesday. Pharming was off EUR 0.01 to EUR 0.14.
Royalty Pharma (New York, N.Y.) withdrew a request for judicial review of a decision by the Irish Takeover Panel regarding its offer to acquire Elan Corp. plc (NYSE:ELN), ending a four-month public spat between the companies. Royalty was seeking to acquire Elan for $13 per share in cash plus a contingent value right (CVR) worth up to $2.50, which would have valued Elan at up to $7.9 billion. Royalty's decision officially ends its hostile bid to acquire Elan, though Elan on Friday announced a formal sales process and said its financial advisors contacted Royalty's financial advisors to invite Royalty to participate in the process.On Monday, Royalty's bid for Elan lapsed after Elan shareholders approved the biotech's proposal to repurchase $200 million in shares; shareholders rejected three other proposals from Elan. Royalty was seeking to make its offer contingent on Elan shareholders rejecting only two proposals: the acquisition of rare disease company AOP Orphan Pharmaceuticals AG (Vienna, Austria); and Elan's proposal to pay Theravance Inc. (NASDAQ:THRX) $1 billion for a 21% interest in royalties Theravance is eligible to receive from partner GlaxoSmithKline plc (NSE:GSK; NYSE:GSK) for four respiratory programs. The Irish High Court was scheduled to start proceedings on Wednesday to review the decision by the Irish Takeover Panel that Royalty's offer remained contingent on Elan shareholders rejecting all four deals, including the share buyback (see BioCentury Extra, June 17). Royalty, which declined to comment, is barred under Irish takeover rules from making another unsolicited bid for Elan for a year. Elan was up $0.29 to $13.78 on Tuesday.
Daiichi Sankyo Co. Ltd. (Tokyo:4568; Osaka:4568) submitted an NDA to Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare for prasugrel to treat patients with ischemic heart disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Daiichi Sankyo and Eli Lilly and Co. (NYSE:LLY) market the thienopyridine P2Y12 receptor antagonist as Effient to reduce the rate of thrombotic cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who are to be managed with PCI. The product is approved in more than 70 countries, including the U.S. and EU.
RedHill Biopharma Ltd. (Tel Aviv:RDHL; NASDAQ:RDHL) said FDA accepted for review an NDA for RHB-103 to treat acute migraine. The PDUFA date is Feb. 3, 2014. The NDA was submitted under section 505(b)(2) of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, which allows sponsors to reference data on safety and efficacy from the scientific literature or from previously approved products. RedHill has exclusive, worldwide rights to co-develop and commercialize RHB-103 from IntelGenx Corp. (TSX-V:IGX; OTCBB:IGXT) under a 2010 deal. The product is a fast-dissolving thin-film formulation of rizatriptan delivered using IntelGenx's VersaFilm oral disintegrating film. RedHill was down NIS0.14 to NIS3.70 in Tel Aviv on Tuesday. On NASDAQ, the stock was up $0.55 to $10.70. IntelGenx was up C$0.03 to C$0.61 on Tuesday. On the OTC Bulletin Board, the stock was up $0.04 to $0.61.
FDA's Cardiovascular and Renal Drugs Advisory Committee will meet on Aug. 5 to discuss an NDA from Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan) for tolvaptan to slow kidney disease in adults with rapidly progressing autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. The product is under Priority Review, with a Sept. 1 PDUFA date. The vasopressin 2 (V2) receptor antagonist is approved as Samsca in the EU to treat hyponatremia secondary to syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) in adults. The drug is approved in the U.S. to treat hypervolemic and euvolemic hyponatremia.
NIH's National Center for Advancing Translational Science (NCATS) awarded $12.7 million to nine academic research groups to repurpose compounds from pharma partners under a pilot initiative. The groups will evaluate the selected compounds, all of which have cleared safety and toxicity hurdles through at least Phase I testing, for effectiveness against eight diseases or conditions for which the compounds have previously been unexplored. Last year, a group of pharmas that includes AstraZeneca plc (LSE:AZN; NYSE:AZN), Eli Lilly and Co. (NYSE:LLY), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE) and Sanofi (Euronext:SAN; NYSE:SNY) partnered with NCATS to provide academic researchers access to 58 compounds for repurposing (see BioCentury Extra, June 12, 2012).The projects under the pilot initiative include Lilly's LY500307, an estrogen receptor-b agonist for schizophrenia; AstraZeneca's saracatinib (AZD0530), a dual inhibitor of c-src and BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase for Alzheimer's disease; ZD4054, an endothelin A receptor antagonist for peripheral artery disease (PAD); and Pfizer's PF-03463275, a glycine transporter type 1 (GlyT1; SLC6A9) inhibitor for schizophrenia. Other projects will focus on evaluating a Pfizer compound for alcoholism; a Sanofi compound for calcific aortic valve stenosis; a J&J compound for smoking cessation; a Sanofi compound for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD); and an AstraZeneca compound for lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a rare disease that causes the lungs of women in their thirties and forties to develop cysts that destroy lung function.
FDA is holding a public workshop on July 23 to discuss preclinical methods to assess arrhythmia risk including the risk of torsades de pointes during the drug development process as an alternative to clinical thorough QT studies. The workshop will focus on assessing the use of ion channel currents as a screening method to evaluate the proarrhythmic potential of therapeutic candidates. The workshop is cosponsored by the International Life Sciences Institute's Health and Environmental Sciences Institute, as well as the Cardiac Safety Research Consortium. FDA formed the consortium -- which supports research evaluating cardiac safety or medical products -- with Duke University in 2006 under the agency's Critical Path initiative to promote public-private partnerships.
The American Society of Clinical Oncology and more than 50 other advocacy organizations sent a letter to HHS and the U.S. Department of Labor requesting regulations or guidance by January on a provision of the Affordable Care Act that requires insurers to cover routine medical costs for patients participating in clinical trials. In the letter, the groups said a list of frequently asked questions on the implementation of ACA that was released by the departments in April suggests the departments "do not expect to issue regulations in the near future" on the implementation of the provision requiring coverage of trial expenses. The provision is slated to take effect in January.The groups also outlined a number of issues with the implementation of the provision that they believe should be addressed by rulemaking or guidance. The groups want HHS and the Department of Labor to include explicit safeguards to ensure that "routine costs" includes the prevention, detection, and treatment of complications arising from clinical trials, and also to include regulations that prevent insurance companies from requiring patients to travel "unreasonable" distances to enroll in a trial with an in-network provider.
Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) last week withdrew its recommendation of HPV vaccination pending further review of safety data related to systemic pain, according to GlaxoSmithKline plc (LSE:GSK; NYSE:GSK). MHLW-approved HPV vaccines include Cervarix from GSK and Gardasil from Merck & Co. Inc. (NYSE:MRK). GSK told BioCentury that there is "no evidence" that systemic pain is related to Cervarix administration, but that the company is providing information to MHLW. The pharma added that despite the recommendation, the Japanese government is continuing to pay for HPV vaccinations. Merck did not provide comment in time for publication, while MHLW could not be reached for details. Cervarix had 2012 worldwide sales of L270 million ($436.5 million), while Gardasil had sales of $1.6 billion. The vaccines are approved to prevent cervical cancer and precancerous lesions caused by HPV infection.
EMA's Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC) is in the process of drafting a consultation that will lay out the rules of procedure for public hearings on the safety of marketed drugs or classes of medicines. The hearings, which will allow the public to engage with the agency on issues related to drug safety, are part of pharmacovigilance legislation that came into effect last July. EMA expects the consultation to be published before year end.
Adamas Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Emeryville, Calif.) said once-daily doses of oral ADS-5102 improved levodopa-induced dyskinesia in the Phase II/III EASED trial in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Specifically, once-daily 340 and 420 mg doses of oral ADS-5102 met the primary endpoint of improving levodopa-induced dyskinesia as measured by the mean change in Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale (UDysRS) total score from baseline to week eight vs. placebo (p=0.005 and p=0.013, respectively). The once-daily 260 mg dose of ADS-5102 led to a non-significant improvement on the endpoint (p=0.159). The double-blind, U.S. trial enrolled 83 patients with PD. Data were presented at the Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders meeting in Sydney. Adamas said it plans to review the data and discuss next steps with FDA "very soon," but declined to disclose a specific time frame. ADS-5102 is an oral extended-release formulation of amantadine.
Two groups of academic researchers published data on Tuesday in the Annals of Internal Medicine from a pair of independent reviews analyzing the safety and efficacy of InFuse Bone Graft from Medtronic Inc. (NYSE:MDT), which is used in spinal fusion surgery. Based on an analysis of individual-patient data from 13 randomized controlled trials sponsored by Medtronic and 31 cohort studies, researchers at Oregon Health & Sciences University concluded that InFuse "has no proven clinical advantage over [iliac crest] bone graft and may be associated with important harms." The Oregon researchers also found that InFuse was associated with an increased cancer risk at 24 months, but event rates were low and cancer was heterogeneous. The researchers concluded that early journal publications misrepresented the effectiveness and harms through selective reporting, duplicate publication and underreporting.In a separate analysis, researchers at the University of York reported data from an analysis of individual-patient data from 11 randomized controlled trials sponsored by Medtronic and one other eligible trial and concluded that InFuse "increases fusion rates, reduces pain by a clinically insignificant amount, and increases early postsurgical pain" vs. iliac crest bone graft at 24 months. Furthermore, cancer was almost twice as common with InFuse compared to iliac crest bone graft, but the small number of events precluded a definite conclusion. Medtronic said it has funded a retrospective analysis of a national payer database to investigate the incidence of cancer in real-world use of InFuse; the analysis is slated to be presented next half.In 2011, Medtronic commissioned Yale University to review the safety and efficacy of InFuse following reports published in The Spine Journal in June 2011 alleging that the company failed to disclose financial ties to medical researchers involved in InFuse trials. The reports also claimed those same researchers failed to report the risk of complications associated with InFuse. Yale subsequently commissioned the Oregon and York researchers to conduct separate analyses (see BioCentury Extra, Aug. 4, 2011).Medtronic has said sales of InFuse, an implantable material containing bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP2), have declined due to the Spine article, but the company has not broken out sales of the product since then. Medtronic was off $0.59 to $52.92 on Tuesday.

PASCHE: Lions' rookies making great strides
Just a little over a week into Lions training camp, here's a look at the rookies, a few who have been stand-outs.
Some were drafted, others were signed as free agents. Positions like offensive tackle are a little tougher to judge until the preseason games. We'll get our first look on Friday night at Ford Field against Cleveland.
The creation of a champion begins each April and while it's early, it looks like Martin Mayhew made some quality choices.
— T Riley Reiff (first round, Iowa): At June's minicamp offensive coordinator Scott Linehan said this guy will play early and often. He just didn't say where. Through the start of camp, he's taken reps at left and right tackle along with Jason Fox and Corey Hilliard. Teammates like him and his approach to the game. He's got some great veterans like Jeff Backus to learn from. Bring on the preseason.
— WR Ryan Broyles (second round, Oklahoma): He's making remarkable strides after coming off ACL surgery more than six months ago. As long as he stays healthy, look for him to contribute right away. While three receivers are ahead of him on the depth chart, Linehan likes to mix it up and rotate guys on and off the field. He's not going to let a talent like Broyles wither away on the bench. Like the other rookies, the preseason games will be huge for Broyles.
— CB Bill Bentley (third round, Louisiana-Lafayette): He's been one of the standouts of the rookie class so far. It's not like he has an occasional good day at camp, for Bentley every day is a good day and he continues to improve. Perhaps a secret to his success, is when he gets beat by a receiver on a one-on-one drill, he'll immediately ask the guy how he beat him. Speedy and athletic, he's in the running to get the start at right cornerback. If not, he should be first in at nickelback. He's played both positions with the starters every day in camp.
— DE Ronnell Lewis (fourth round, Oklahoma): The pass-rushing specialist had a slow start to camp with a tight back. Known as "The Hammer" in college, Lewis is best known for his special teams play. That's probably the only way he'll make the 53-man roster this year. He has competition in Lawrence Jackson and Willie Young for the backup defensive end roles. Both of them young but are more experienced and continue to improve.
— LB Tahir Whitehead (fifth round, Temple): So teammate Justin Durant said this guy is the "strongest dude he's ever seen." That should tell you something. There's a four-way battle for a projected three backup spots at linebacker and it looks like Whitehead is making a strong case for one of them.
— CB Chris Greenwood (fifth round, Albion): We can only give him an incomplete. Greenwood underwent abdominal surgery after getting injured in Organized Team Activities and he hasn't been cleared to participate in camp. They like this athlete and I don't expect they have given up on him. He's just getting off to a slow start due to the injury.
— CB Jonte Green (sixth round, New Mexico State): This corner hasn't made an impact quite like Bentley. It is early in the process though. Continued...
— WR Patrick Edwards (undrafted): He's been one of the biggest surprises in camp, routinely makes quality catches. It's going to be tough for him to make the 53-man roster because really there's just one roster opening and several fighting for it including Mo Stovall, Dominique Curry, Lance Long, Nate Hughes and Terrence Tolliver — all who have experience. Edwards qualifies for the practice squad, but he may be too good for it.
— QB Kellen Moore (undrafted, Boise State): He doesn't have the arm strength, but he's got football smarts and during camp he seems to make the most of his limited chances, often moving the ball downfield. He's gained a big fan in offensive coordinator Scott Linehan. He's a coach's son which is usually a great line to put on the resume. There's a chance the Lions won't keep three quarterbacks (remember Drew Stanton didn't dress for a game all last year), but if they do it will be Moore. R.J. Archer, who plays arena ball, is strictly a camp quarterback.

Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran were spotted partying at SL in NYC on Saturday and things got real interesting when Rihanna popped up with a few of her gal pals.
Though the two parties weren't sitting next to each other, they were close enough to exchange looks all night. According to the NY Post, Chris and Karrueche sent two bottles of Ace of Spades Champagne over to Rihanna's table.
Though folks have tried to play up the drama between Karrueche and RiRi, Ms. Tran later tweeted, "kill 'em w kindness." The three of them seem to have moved on from the past. Maybe the public should too.

This week's Information
Recently, a friend whom I will call Henry was raving about how great his software business was doing. He said he had finally hit the million-dollar mark, his employees were doing a great job, his clients were happy and he was debt free. But he seemed to be having a bit of trouble with his friends. He noticed his buddies weren't calling him for golf or to grab a few beers and play basketball as much as they used to. He had hoped his friends would be happy for him, but instead they seemed to be avoiding him. He was baffled by their behavior. Henry went on to say that on several occasions when he called one of his longtime friends to meet for lunch his friend claimed to be too busy. I asked him if he could think of a time or two when he was not available when one of them called him for an outing. He said that he could recall a few times. Often we don't realize that the amount of time it takes to build a business can take a toll on our relationships to others. If your friends are working in 9-to-5 careers and you are working 12 to 14 hours a day, this can cause a bit of friction. If you value the relationship and you can't meet your friends every Friday for Happy Hour, let them know that you value both their friendship and also your business and try to make arrangements to meet at least once a month. On the other hand sometimes our lives change and we start moving in a different direction than our friends. This can happen through all of the various stages of developing your business. When I started my business I was still in high school and my friends wanted to discuss makeup, fashion and the guys on the football team. My interests, though, were in the things that it took to build a business. As the years have passed things haven't changed much. Last week I was having lunch with an old friend from high school and I pulled out my smartphone to add her e-mail address into it. She quickly let me know that she knew nothing about technology nor did she want to know. Considering that I live a part of my life connected to technology, especially for business. I knew that if we were going to have a good conversation I would have to find a topic she could relate to. So we spent our time together talking about fashion, makeup, and the men in our lives. And then there is that demon called jealously. Not all friendships are built to last a lifetime and if you find that jealously is involved then it's best to part ways. Sometimes it's hard to recognize the green-eyed monster and sometimes it's very obvious. If you find your friends are making sarcastic comments or taking advantage of you in some way then it's best to move on. I can recall having a couple of buddies who it seemed would always suggest that the waiter put charges on one tab and when the time came to pay up they would wait for me to pick up the bill. And thinking that I was being nice to my friends, I would pay. One day one of the women asked me to loan her money that she would pay back at a certain time. A year after the due date, I asked her when she would pay me. She said, "You're the one who's a business owner, you have more than I have and therefore can afford to be without the money. I didn't argue with her. But our friendship was over. Sometimes we get so excited about the success of our business it can come across as bragging. This is especially true if we are talking to folks who are still struggling in their careers or businesses. I also suggested that Henry revisit how he speaks of his business when with his friends. It's a good idea from time to time for all of us to revisit our relationships with friends. All in all, friendships are a two-way street. Take a closer look and make certain that you are not doing or saying anything to provoke animosity in your friendship. If you and your friends have a true relationship then you can talk candidly about your feeling. A true friendship can handle just about anything. Read other business articles by Gladys Edmunds |

STATEWIDE -- The New York basketball teams split their games on Wednesday night.
Carmelo and company routed the Magic in their game at MSG. Six players racked up double digits in points, with Tyson Chandler and Carmelo leading the way with 21 and 20 points, respectively.
Most notably from Wednesday night's action, Carmelo set a new franchise record by scoring at least 20-points for his 30th consecutive game. A record once held by Richie Guerin who played for the Knicks back in the late 50s/early 60s.
Carmelo will look to extend that streak on Friday when the Knicks take on the Milwaukee Bucks at 7:30pm at Madison Square Garden.
Meanwhile, the Nets are back in the loss column after dropping their home game to Miami, 105-85.
LeBron James led the way for all scorers with 24 points. Brook Lopez was the top performer for the Nets with his 21 points and seven rebounds.
They'll try their luck again on Friday night when they host Chicago at 7:30pm.

"Mourning this tragedy has extended beyond Newtown, beyond the borders of Connecticut, and has spread across the nation and the world," he said. "On behalf of the State of Connecticut, we appreciate the letters and calls of support that have been delivered to our state and to the family members during their hour of need."
At least 29 states declared a moment of silence for Friday morning, with flags flying at half-staff. People mourned on the Internet, as well: Some websites went dark at the urging of Silicon Valley venture capitalist Ron Conway, who came up with the idea at a Christmas party attended by Gabby Giffords, the former Arizona congresswoman who was wounded in a 2011 shooting that killed six.
Gov. Mary Fallin of Oklahoma suggested that residents wear green, Sandy Hook's school color. In Alaska, the Capitol's bell was scheduled to ring at 9:30 a.m. local time. The bell is a full-scale replica of the Liberty Bell.
Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback and Texas Gov. Rick Perry called for residents of their states to pause to reflect one week after the shooting rampage. Perry also asked that churches ring their bells 26 times in honor of the victims at the school.
In an open letter to the people of Newtown in Friday's Hartford Courant, first lady Michelle Obama wrote that she and President Barack Obama are "holding you and your families in our hearts."
"As a mother of two young daughters, my heart aches for you and your families. Like so many Americans, I wish there were something -- anything -- I could do or say to ease your anguish," Michelle Obama wrote.
Although she "cannot begin to imagine the depths of your grief," she paid tribute to "the countless acts of courage, kindness and love here in Newtown and across America."
The states that observed a moment of silence are Alaska, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Obama ordered flags to half-staff last Friday after the shooting. Flags are also flying at half-staff this Friday.
In Danbury, Connecticut, about 12 miles west of Newtown, the congregation of United Methodist Church of Danbury gathered to pray, CNN affiliate WFSB reported.

A Day in the Life of a College Student: How It Affects You and Your Marketing
How does your brand market to college students, and what sets it apart? Many of us are looking back on college, and trying to figure out how to capture these elusive, busy students. It can be difficult; but we'd like to suggest putting yourself in their shoes.
Meet Katie. She's peppy, smart, and involved on campus. She attends a university just outside Boston with 7,000 undergrads. Together we will explore a day in her life. Pay attention to all the marketing outlets she is exposed to today. You might be surprised.
Let's dive into Katie's day. She rolls out of bed at 7:30 am, just in time to shower, grab a coffee, and head to class. Right here, she's been exposed to multiple brands. First, over twenty beauty products, all of which are "roommate approved". Each of her three roommates has five shower products which she is free to sample as she pleases. On her way to class she stops by Dunkin Donuts and grabs a large iced latte. Despite being from New York, she is forced to tote around a cup with a Red Sox logo on it simply because she's in Boston. Katie strolls into class and opens up her laptop (with a Burton sticker decorating the lid). First she checks Facebook, then her student e-mail, and finally her personal e-mail. She is bombarded with e-mails from her sorority, the literary society, retail stores, the university police, and her mother. Her best friend forwarded a link to a contest, which she enters and then shares across her social media outlets. While on Facebook, she sees that her crush updated his status to the lyrics from his favorite song. Katie pops them in Google to see what her next iTunes download will be. She sees an Anthropology banner ad featuring the hottest new looks for Spring. She's forwards a link of a dress to her sister to gain approval before buying.
After two more classes, Katie heads down to the dining hall for lunch. She grabs a copy of the campus paper while she waits for five of her sorority sisters. A tanning salon minutes from campus is offering an exclusive package for college students; she rips the coupon out, throws the paper in her tote and finds a table with the girls.
The tanning salon knows that 82% of college students have read their campus paper in the past three months. Pepsi knows that most students will visit the dining hall daily, so Pepsi provides fountain soda for the school. A college student is in the beginning of their customer life cycle. If advertisers don't target this market now, it will be difficult to gain their business once they are loyal to a competitor.
While they eat, Katie mentions that coupon she grabbed earlier and asks the sisters if they wanted to join. Three of them jump up and grab a copy of the paper immediately. Katie notices her sisters' clothing choices. Two are wearing the sorority sweatshirt, one is wearing a JCrew top, one is sporting an Underarmour jacket, and the last, a Boston Red Sox t-shirt. She compliments the JCrew top, and the sister explains when she bought it and the additional colors it came in.
Katie continues her day, tennis practice at 3pm, group meeting at 7, and finally reruns of Jersey Shore at 10. She encounters hundreds, even thousands of marketing outlets throughout her afternoon. CBS News tells us a person typically is exposed to 5,000 advertisements per day. It's likely Katie exceeds that; she reads magazines at the gym, she watches TV while surfing the Internet, and relies on her friends for fashion advice and the hottest new trends.
The first step to marketing to college students is understanding them. The best way to get your product in their hands starts with knowing your customer. Lesson # 4 from Dale Carnegie's, How to Win Friends and Influence People is, "Become genuinely interested in other people. Take a sincere interest in them. Don't just pretend you're interested. Everybody has something interesting about them. Find out what it is." This means finding out what motivates them, why they do things, and how they do things. Having this insight will help you as a marketer know where and how you fit into their lives.

Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding
Exams and Tests
Your doctor must first rule out all Reference other medical causes of vaginal bleeding before diagnosing dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB).
First tests
First, your doctor will:
- Review your history of symptoms and menstrual periods. (If possible, bring with you a record of the days you had your period, how heavy or light the flow was, and how you felt each day.)
- Conduct a routine Reference pelvic exam.
- Find out whether you are
ovulating regularly. This is done using one or
more of the following:
- A daily record of your symptoms (menstrual calendar)
- A daily Reference basal body temperature Opens New Window chart, if you have been keeping track at home. This charts your at-rest temperature.
- A Reference progesterone test, because low levels during the third week of a menstrual cycle suggest an ovulation problem
- An Reference endometrial biopsy for perimenopausal women, because abnormal endometrial tissue is common in this age group. The endometrial tissue is the lining of the uterus.
Other tests
If your symptoms are severe, your doctor suspects a serious medical problem, or you are considering a certain treatment, you may also have one or more other tests, such as:
- Blood tests, which may include:
- Reference Pregnancy test (human chorionic gonadotropin, or hCG).
- Reference Complete blood count (CBC), to check for signs of disease, infection, and anemia.
- Reference Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) to check for a thyroid gland problem, which can cause menstrual irregularity.
- Reference Serum prolactin level, to check for a Reference pituitary gland Opens New Window problem, which can interfere with or stop the menstrual cycle.
- Reference Serum ferritin, to check for anemia, a symptom of heavy blood loss.
- Reference Pap smear Opens New Window and cultures to check for infection or abnormal cervical cells.
- Reference Urine test to screen for infection, disease, and other signs of poor health.
- Reference Transvaginal pelvic ultrasound, to check for any abnormalities in the pelvic area. After the pelvic exam, a transvaginal ultrasound is often the next step in diagnosing a vaginal bleeding problem. If a pelvic mass is found, ultrasound results are useful for making further testing and treatment decisions.
- Sonohysterogram, which uses ultrasound to monitor the movement of a salt solution (saline), which is injected into the uterus. This test may be done to look for uterine Reference polyps Opens New Window or Reference fibroids Opens New Window.
- Reference Endometrial biopsy, usually for women older than 35 or who are Reference postmenopausal Opens New Window, to learn whether the lining of the uterus (endometrium) is healthy and functioning normally.
- Reference Hysteroscopy, if no cause is apparent but a problem condition is suspected; to check for and treat a suspected condition, such as uterine fibroids; or if bleeding continues despite treatment.
Early detection
Reference Endometrial cancer Opens New Window risk increases with age. Also known as uterine cancer, it is most common in women over age 50, after menopause. But endometrial cancer can also develop earlier, during perimenopause or in women who have had abnormal bleeding for many years.
- If you have heavy or unusual vaginal bleeding after menopause, your doctor will do tests, usually either ultrasound or endometrial biopsy, to look for cancerous cell changes.
- If you are perimenopausal, have not responded to other treatment for uterine bleeding, or have things that increase your risk for endometrial cancer, your doctor may recommend an endometrial biopsy.

np: RU Stage 13 - All I want for Christmas - is a balanced tier
Hey, so as most of you are probably aware, UU has unbanned Snow Warning. However, because Snover was in NU at the time of Snow Warning's ban, Snow Warning has been allowed in RU and NU. Because SPL is also coming up, Oglemi and I have felt that it is in RU's best interests to cancel our plan to stagger the RU ladder and test Hail instead. Sorry folks who wanted to see the metagame without Cresselia and Nidoqueen, but hail is arguably more important to test!
Will hail help make Nidoqueen and Cresselia less of an issue, or will it prove to be too powerful in its own right? Will ShakeItUp's mighty Trick Room + Endeavor team dominate the ladder once more, or has the metagame changed enough to make it a non-issue? Will hail stall become powerful now that hail has Nidoqueen to aid it defensively, or will blizzspam rule supreme? To give people time to practice for SPL, this round will only last for two weeks. The round will end on December 19th at 11:59pm EST, when screenshots will be taken and an Alt Identification Thread will be put up. Remember that we will be taking this thread into account the most when it comes to deciding the Rotating Council spot for forum presence, so get posting! Also, here's the real song :p |

So i decided to use Hail on ladder for a little bit just to see how threatening some of the threats it brings to the table, and i found two big Pokemon that are probably going to be big players during this round =).
Rotom-Frost @ Life Orb Trait: Levitate EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd Timid Nature - Substitute - Blizzard - Thunderbolt - Pain Split With decent defensive stats, a great special attack stat, and STAB Boltbeam, Rotom-F makes a particularly potent user of subsplit when used under hail. As most of you already know, Hail boosts Blizzard's accuracy up to 100%, making it not just powerful, but reliable. Rotom-F can force a bunch of switches with its excellent STABs and the threat of a scarf set and/or Volt Switch, giving the refrigerator plenty of chances to set up a substitute, from there Rotom-F can repeatedly batter the opponent with Thunderbolt and Blizzard while using pain split when needed. Rotom-F's offensive prowess is further complemented by the hail its going to be used in, an extra 6% is never a bad thing, and residual hail damage can often put bulkier Pokemon into KO range late game, at the very least, hail will cancel out Leftovers recovery for the Pokemon who run it, this works especially well against lanturn, who resists both of Rotom-F's STABs but lacks recovery, letting the haunted icebox wear it down with Blizzard that much more easily. This set was a top threat on Hail teams back in BW1 and im expecting no different now, ive used hail in about 30 or so matches over the course of the time its been allowed and Rotom-F has been excellent for me! GOD (Glaceon) @ Leftovers Trait: Ice Body EVs: 8 HP / 248 SAtk / 252 Spd Modest Nature - Blizzard - Protect - Substitute - Hidden Power [Ground] Glaceon is another previously irrelevant Pokemon that gets a big buff from hail's unbanning. Glaceon, like fellow hail abuser walrein has access to the ability Ice Body thanks to the Pokemon Dream World, and it sure makes good use of it!. Glaceon has the ability to play like Stallrein if it has to, simply alternating between protect and substitute to wear down the opponent through residual damage or PP stall out an attack, but Glaceon sacrifices some bulk and a secondary Water-typing for what is undeniably the strongest Ice-type attack available in the lower tiers (and the second strongest ice-type move overall, only beaten by Kyurem-W blizzard). As you would expect, this gives Glaceon some serious firepower to back up its stalling strategy, and like Rotom-F, i often end up wearing down certain opponents with repeated hail damage until they end up in KO range of my Blizzard. Hidden Power Ground rounds off Glaceon's coverage and gives it the ability to hit mons like CB entei, emboar, and Lanturn incredibly hard, making it nearly indispensable on Glaceon. Glaceon has the option to run more hp if you want some more bulk, but keep in mind that only certain benchmarks will heal Glaceon fully after two turns! Also, Vanilluxe can run the same set as Glaceon, and has the added perk of having a significant amount of speed more than glaceon, giving it the ability to outspeed various Pokemon, especially nidoqueen, which is especially notable. I think Ice Cream is worth testing too imo. About hail in general, i personally think that its going to be fine in RU at least for now, there are a bunch of Pokemon that have either dropped or have recently become popular that can be a huge pain for hail, such as Escavalier (overcoat does have a use!). To use hail to its fullest effect you also have to stack up on what can be called arguably the worst defensive Pokemon in the game, and you often need to take up more teamslots than you would like with Pokemon to cover this problem, some of which might be crippled by your own hail! Nonthenless, i still think that hail is going to be a very viable and potent strategy this round, and i cant wait to see how things turn out :o.

As much as it upsets me that 'Queen and Cress are being pushed off, this is really cool lol. I dropped off RU about the time hail was first banned (though obv.I still lurked about), so I guess nostalgia points? Anywho, Hail seems really neat, I've always been a fan of it as a whole, and there are plenty of cool things to work with. Hail Offense looks really cool right now, with stuff like Nidoqueen, Slowking, and more all fitting snuggly into such teams, and all appreciating the residual damage Hail provides. Rotom-F will be a ton of fun to use, because Blizzspaming for days is the best. Strictly theorymonning here, but Snover/'Tops/Queen/(1-2 Blizzspammers)/(Stuff to smash Esca, Slowking, and other stuff that check Blizzspam) looks to be pretty damn potent. Hail Stall better not happen, because Wallrein is a whore no matter what, but otherwise this looks to be really neat :] edit: wow, ninja'd hard by molk on champfridge :[[[

While that may be true, would you care to provide an explanation as to why? Perchance both Cress and Nidoqueen can abuse Hail more effectively than others for entirely different reasons (It finally gives me motivation to use the hazard setting sets for Nidoqueen as opposed to straight up dunking nooblords with the sweeper set)? Last I recalled, Cress' Moonlight only recovers 25% health in Hail as opposed to 50% in weatherless (or ~67% in Sun!).
I think testing Hail is a simply jolly idea. While I don't think the weather will be broken (other than Rotom-F and Glaceon, what else could viably be useful on a Hail team?), it will give you guys something to do in case Snover decides to be more than thoroughly mediocre. I find Champfridge (nice nickname, col49) to be useful in weatherless, and it can total Lanturn and Magneton with Hidden Power Ground, not to mention whatever else thinks it can be snug under the BoltBlizzard combo. |

Wouldn't hail neuter both cresselia(moonlight cut/hail damage) and nidoqueen(blizzard/hail damage)? It would keep both of them from having too much longevity and easy switch ins. I think hail would balance things out. And since it's likely aboma may drop it looks like(unless it's banned) snover is here to stay. Btw specs modest glaceon has a chance 2HKO 252/252+ spd cresselia after rocks! That's pretty damn impressive.

Nidoqueen can actually take advantage of hail, because she can fire her own Blizzards which are pretty powerful.
As mentioned earler, Rotom-F and Glaceon are sure to be some powerhouses this time around. BlizzSpamming is going to make these two a terror on the battlefield, and beware because those Blizzards are gonna hurt. Rotom-F also boasts amazing coverage in just Blizzard and T-Bolt. Which Rotom-F will be amazing. Anyways, Stallrein is back, and it's as great as ever from my experience. With Hail damage and Toxic, along with Ice Body to heal Walrein, it's an amazing staller. I use Toxic/Protect/Roar/Ice Beam and it has proven to be a success. Support Nidoqueen is good too. Snover is basically dead weight. Level 1 Solosis is trollsome. It has taken down opponents but...There are Cinccino and Golurk to eliminate it... Hitmonchan is a nice spinner for hail despite being pretty terrible otherwise. And Mandibuzz is....a terror. That aside, I think hail will be fine for now. Its weaknesses are exploitable. They share a Stealth Rock weakness, Fire and Fighting weakness, and so much that I seriously doubt it will be overpowered.

As far as Nidoqueen goes, it's arguably better, depending on your outlook. Yes, the presence of Hail means more Blizzard's flying around, but at the same time Nidoqueen fills a huge niche in Hail teams in a bulky SR / TSpike user (and absorber in the case of the latter) with resistances to both Fighting- and Rock-type attacks. It even offers a decent check to Escavalier (aka the biggest slut to any Hail team :< )! This allows it to serve both defensively and offensively based Hail teams very well. In fact, I would argue that it's indispensable for Hail teams, if only for the niche it fills and the fact that it's so good in the current metagame.

Snover is basically dead weight to set the match in your favor with weather, but then again isn't that also what Smeargle does to an extent with hazards? Either way, the scarf set is ok but it's pretty weak, might try out a sub seed set but it's just so slow I'm not sure how it'll work.
Regardless, t-spikes and rocks Nidoqueen is surprisingly good. I'v hated any support set on any of my teams until now, but t-spikes and Stallrein combine to form a deadly combo if there isn't a poison on the opposing side. Heck Stallrein even without t spikes is a freaking pain, especially to other hail teams. Molk can attest to this because I toxic stalled out his slowking and was in the process of stalling his Glaceon with it, along with 2 other teams on the ladder. Seriously, you need a powerful stab super effective move to kill this thing because other wise it'll just sit there and laugh at you until one of you pp stall. Life orb Cryogonal in hail acts as a really cool blizz spammer with great speed, good special attack, and even decent special defense to boot. Recover and rapid spin add utility which is icing on the cake, meaning that with a hidden power for coverage it acts as a unique blizz spamer, check to other blizz spammers with the right hp, and also an excellent offensive spinner to remove the hated stealth rocks. But, while it's fun, I don't think it's broken. Stealth rocks, any fast fire type like Entei or even something like a Sceptile with hp rock has the potential to just completely screw over half a team, and trying to pack counters to everything is near impossible. Cress, while slowed by hail, is still bulky as all get out. Calm mind Clefable is tough to beat if you're not packing a fighting move, and Escavalier is the bane of all weather teams except for sun, and if it runs overcoat (rare until hail catches on) it won't even be worn down by hail. |

I dont remember battling a single Stallrein during any of my matches, so that probably wasnt me, lol. But i can attest to walrein being a very potent defensive threat on hail teams. Walrein is incredibly bulky on both the physical side and the special side, and its perfectly capable of taking moves its weak to without much trouble (even decently powerful STAB ones, not something like Gallade Close Combat, though). Walrein's Ice Body ability effectively neuters its Stealth Rock weakness after two turns as well, making it slightly easier to switch the bulky walrus in when there are layers of hazards up. From there walrein can simply set up a Substitute and stall the opposing team for 32 turns, wherein they will repeatedly have to deal with residual hail damage, toxic damage if you have set up Toxic Spikes or used Toxic on the Pokemon you are stalling. In some cases, a properly supported Walrein can take on entire teams by itself with no trouble at all, definitely a threat to watch out for this time around! n_n

I'm a Cheese Head and Proud of It
Well after playing like 15 matches yesterday (only losing one to gear grind miss :/) I can tell that hail is hardly broken from what I've seen. Although my team has 2 very good counters to hail I'm not over preparing for it and I didn't lose to a single hail team. (though molk gave me a run for my money) I just think using hail puts you at a pretty big disadvantage from the start. I mean your pratically are already down 5-6 from the start and having at least half your team being weak to SR is never a good thing. Plus there numerous pokes able to stop blizzspam, slowking and lanturn being the 2 most common. Though it's only been like one day and anything can change I just think hail has too many flaws that outweigh the benefits.
Though I'm dissappointed that hail dropping will likely keep cress and queen :(

Very disappointed in the people who voted to keep Cress in the tier, Hail is going to weaken Cress slightly and move it from being obnoxiously broken and walling 95% of the tier to still quite broken and walling 90% of the tier. Unfortunately the focus is going to be shifted off of Cress and on to Hail for a while and I'm starting to worry that we may have missed our chance to remove the most broken Pokemon the tier has ever seen (three times!) from our midst with the shift to a rotating council over the Senate. From what I've seen so far, Hail is powerful but not dominant, but will require a moderate shift in teambuilding to account for it. Stall in particular can no longer rely on a combination of Cress and a special tank (not wall) to take all of the special attacks that will come flying its way, particularly if the opposition loads up on Cresselia checks as well as Blizzard spammers. Lanturn in particular, lacking recovery cannot be seen as a decent Hail check as it will be 3HKOd by Glaceon's Blizzard without being able to do anything significant to it in return. Shifting topics again, I'm going to take the opportunity to promote one of the best sets in the tier at the moment, both before and I believe also after drop of Hail. Calm Mind RestTalk (abbreviated as CroTomb) Spiritomb holds claim to being one of only two foolproof Cresselia counters I have come across (the other being RestTalk Escavalier). Spiritomb boasts remarkable bulk, allowing it to begin to set of on the majority of physical attackers one will face, as well as any special attacker lacking a behemoth attacking stat. Once it accruse two Calm Minds, even things such as Life Orb Moltres and Magmortar begin to struggle to break it. Most importantly, it has no shortage of opportunity to come in and begin setting up when Cresselia arrives, putting Pressure (hehe) on the opposing team, particularly given its lack of status vulnerability. As for Cresselia herself, the vast majority of Pokemon she outright walls and turns into set up fodder is ridiculous. People list out her relatively limited list of checks and counters (usually along the lines of Drapion, Spiritomb, Escavalier and then a few others) and claim that for this reason she isn't broken, but they tend to ignore the fact that, without fail, she 100% walls just about every single other Pokemon in the tier. With the EV spread I run, 252 HP 116 SDef Calm, Cresselia becomes an instant counter to every special attacker in the tier, meaning only the aforementioned Pokemon and then scarce physical attackers such as Swords Dance Gallade and Swords Dance Kabutops have a shot at breaking through Cress. What's more, with the exception of Gallade (who Cress can in fact beat with smart play) every other Pokemon I've listed is defeated by Poliwrath, Cresselia's perfect mate. In short, we have two Pokemon who wall every single option the tier has bar a select few, with 95% of the work being done by Cresselia. Remember those outdated qualities of an Uber? Cresselia qualifies for BOTH the defensive characteristic due to it walling such a massive percentage of the tier, but also the support characteristic for the remarkably easy paralysis support, dual screens support, and weather support it provides -- though admittedly its support features would be unlikely to banworthy in and of itself. Furthermore the centralisation that I, SilentVerse and Windsong talked about in our suspect votes has become increasingly clear among both ladder and more serious battles. Essentially, if you don't carry 1 hard counter plus a check or multiple checks to Cresselia, you will lose without fail. If you use Pokemon that are easily walled by Cresselia you not only compromise the offensive or defensive integrity of your team you allow Cresselia to spread its status of choice without consequence throughout your team. What's more, Cresselia is somewhat versatile with its moveset options, and a single moveslot change can render your counter of choice moot, leaving Cress to destroy you unchallenged. Hidden Power Fire suddenly makes Escavalier a liability, as well as invalidating Drapion as an option. Calm Mind plus Ice Beam means that Cresselia can take out Crotomb with a crit, whereas Spiritomb must crit itself to take out Cress. Speaking of crits, did you know that in a Cresselia stall war, using the spread I listed above, opposing +6 Cresselia will fail to 2HKO you with consecutive critical hit Psychics? This is typically the point where one raises status, particularly Toxic as a means to stop Cresselia. This is a reasonably valid point so I will only say four things against it. First, on a defensive team, status should be irrelevant because a competent player will run Heal Bell to support both Cress and a team that likely carries at least one RestTalker. Second, offensive teams have no room or time to fit Toxic and are thus irrelevant in the equation. Third, Toxic is commonly run on only a few Pokemon, and is almost always telegraphed, making it very easy to predict from the most common Pokemon used to check Cress, Slowking and Cryogonal specifically coming to mind. Fourth and finally, if Toxic is indeed your primary option of dealing with Cress, you are completely screwed when you run into a SubCM Cress. (n.b. Trick is as easily telegraphed as Toxic, specifically from Manectric, one should always be scouting Uxie before leading their Cress against it) Now I'm not sure how this post shifted into a "why Cress is broken post," but I'll cap it off by saying that a well built stall team with the focus being should never lose, except to a combination of hax and the opponent carrying a surefire Cresselia counter. In fact, this is exactly what I found when laddering, and other battles. Except when the opponent carried RestTalk versions of Spiritomb or Escavalier, there was no Pokemon or combination of Pokemon that could pose a threat to Cresselia, and then an assortment of hazard setters/spinners/clerics that covered off niche options to reduce the burden of Cress having to wall the entire tier. Even when hax struck and took out CroTomb before it could sweep, I found myself more than once in a situation where I was down 4-2, 5-2, and was inevitably, slowly but surely wearing down the opponent because they could not break through the Cresselia / Poliwrath combination. I could not sweep because they still carried a Spiritomb or Escavalier, but nor could they wear me down thanks to Poliwrath shoring up Cresselia's few weakness. Thus, I was slowly able to wear down a team with forced switches and phazing. So, this post was initially just comment on the state of Hail and then a few of my experiences, seems its morphed into primarily about Cress. I'm out of things to say, so make of it what you will.

Texas,Cress does not centrelize the RU meta,It JUST DROPPED give time for the meta to adapt,Also carry a strong Dark or Ghost move and you win,Since cress cant boost on the physical side,Just carry absol or CB Tomb or even Skuntank and you win not kidding,You dont need to carry a counter + check,And it does not wall 90% of the tier lol even glace can 2HKO it.And with hail neutering its recovery methods its forced to resttalk or dont use recovery wich is very bad for it.It is a S rank threat that just dropped of course its gonna be good,Nidoqueen isnt broken to me its just a very good pokemon,And this is coming from a guy who almost NEVER prepairs for nido.I dont think hail is broken,For Cress anf Nido I think we just want RU to have a real suspect too much but I understand hail though.

Oiawesome, you're seriously underestimating Cresselia's ridiculous bulk. Having a "strong Dark or Ghost move" isn't in any way enough preparation to handle Cresselia most of the time, and of the things that you claimed "beat" it, depending on its set Cresselia is perfectly capable of either beating or setting up 50/50 situations with either of them. Anyways, onto those calculations that I mentioned.
Looking at those calculations, it's pretty clear that even some of the best Cresselia "counters" out there are actually incapable of handling it all that well. The only Pokemon on that list that are capable of beating Cresselia perfectly every time are Taunt Drapion and Taunt Skuntank (who still lose to random CM HP Ground sets and stuff, but not going to take that into account). Cresselia can either Toxic or just boost up against CB Pursuit-locked Pokemon, as most of them are 5HKOing at best. The only Spiritomb that's consistently beating Cresselia is CroTomb. But the biggest qualm that I have with your post is that you state that Cresselia didn't centralize the metagame, which is just flat out untrue. It shifted the entire metagame towards Bug/Ghost/Dark types (although admittedly, the dropping of Escavelier somewhat helped with this). And I'm not sure where you're coming from about Cresselia not walling the vast majority of the tier - there are literally three notable Pokemon in RU that are capable of hitting Cresselia hard enough to leave a significant dent, and none of them can switch in on certain moves without being KOed or crippled for the remainder of the match. It's a ridiculously dominant defensive force, and it really needs to go. |

What can cress do back?And no it didnt centrelize the meta it made it adapt,look at the usage stats sure HO SPAM isnt as usable but it dosent shift to the meta to its weaknesses I play RU evrey day and I dont really see over centrelization js.And Ive faced cress a lot on the ladder and none of them seem to be the overly dominate forces that you talk about,Remember when evrey one kept saying "Oh rough skin chomp is gonna still be broken!" And then it wasent?Much more of over reaction than actualy beeing broken.Just give the meta time to adapt,Also cress is very healthy for the meta because remember that last boring only HO Meta?Yeah cress is the sole reason that meta dosent exist completely anymore.

I've used mixed LO absol with t-bolt to deal with that core and it works well. Absol can 2HKO both poli and cress on the switch. Lilligant also works well against this core, she can put cresselia to sleep and then proceed to set up and destroy the opposing team. Specs/LO moltres can tear through that core pretty decently as well. SS omastar is also pretty good too. OHKO's poliwrath w/ HP and does over 60% to cress with hydro pump. There's also galvantula who can hit both poli and cress for SE stab. There are pokes that can deal with cresselia and her crew, you just have to think outside the box.

Little kids think life is so easy. That's why they go on and on about their dreams. That's why they never give up.
I wonder if it's just me but hail isn't too powerful from I've seen. Sure you do have powerful users of Blizzard, and maybe a Stallrein, but they have a hard time. Hard time switching in due to their Stealth Rock weakness, and --possibly-- worst defensive type. Glaceon, for example, has a massive Special Attack, but often has a hard time switching in, and when it does its base 65 Speed isn't helping too much either. But Glaceon does have sheer power, and that alone could warrant its use. On the other end, Walrein is pooped on by Taunt, or a Substitute user, but when played right it can flat-line teams. Hail teams stock up on Blizzard users, Ice Body, etc. and this just compounds weaknesses, and support can be provided, but then the team has to worry about providing more support for their Pokemon, rather than taking down the opponent.
Overall, the tier is so crazy, in the sense that their is so much going on--Hail, Nidoqueen, Cresselia, who do I worry about, who do I prepare for, etc. Edit: 400th post, yeah np thread.

I'll preface my comments by acknowledging that I am not the most serious player. Really I've just been messing around with ledian. That being said, I did peak out at like 30 on the ladder (weak ladder?). Here are my experiences with said Pokemon:
Nidoqueen: Can easily destroy my team. I usually end up sacrificing ledian to get a safe switch into a faster pokemon that can threaten it. I usually just chalk this up to bad teambuilding and assume there are checks and counters out there if I wanted to go find them. I would be happy to see it go, but I'd understand if it stayed. Cress: If just being stupid is a reason for banning, than this needs to get out as fast as possible. I don't have as much trouble with it as I used to, but just the fact that it takes nothing from any of my pokemon is infuriating. I get great pleasure when it switches into a toxic, although I've missed in those situations. Sub calm mind pretty much takes a dump on my team, dual screens is more annoying than anything else. In short, for making anything that isn't a check/counter useless(read A LOT of things) I wish this piece of garbage as far away as possible. Hail: One day I was enjoying my day on the ladder, when to my astonishment I learned hail was allowed into the tier. I watch my team get dismantled 3 battles in a row and almost left the tier. The main problem being the thing on my team best equipped to take blizzards (lanturn) had no reliable recovery outside of leftovers, and couldn't take on as many hits as the other team were throwing. It also became very hard to win the hazard war with sandslash, leaving my fire type vulnerable to being worn down. Add a slowking and I was doomed. Verdict: I'd very much this to go as well. I didn't even mention ice body. These are my opinions. I'm sure someone I've played that it's my fault for using such a crap team. I get it, pokemon is serious business. But at some point it stops getting fun to play because some things are just so stupid to play against. There's a difference between things that I'm way under-prepared for, (durant) and things that make otherwise perfectly viable Pokemon useless because you can't fit enough counters on your team. Thanks for taking my opinion into consideration. (Unless you didn't, then screw you) |

Counting arcade cabinets and mobile games, Assault Horizon is the sixteenth entry in the long running series and marks an attempt to please both hardcore shooter fans as well as newcomers to the franchise. With a globetrotting storyline written by best-selling military author Jim DeFelice, the game has been described as an aerial Call of Duty
The console version, released last year, certainly tickled the critics. "Ace Combat Assault Horizon walks that dangerous line many modern franchises are attempting these days: make an old formula more accessible and streamlined without alienating the hardcore fans" said Games Radar's 90% review. Games Master UK gave it 87%, hailing the blend of "gritty realism with an accessible arcade feel". Games TM offered an 8/10 score, praising the "undeniable thrill" that the focus on close quarters dogfighting offered. "A triumphant mix of masculinity and pastiche," read the review, "An excitable exercise in action gaming that moves the genre forward into exciting new territory."
And now, finally, PC players will be able to see what the fuss was about. Ready the landing strip.
Ace Combat: Assault Horizon is out now for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The PC version is due in early 2013.

A blood-hungry lot, us gamers like our FPSs spray-painted in the red stuff. But how do you introduce that red mist to the humble flight sim? Ace Combat: Assault Horizon for the Xbox 360 and PS3 reckons it has the answer machines that bleed, that's right, bleed...
Taking out an enemy fighter splatters its 'blood' (aka oil) all over your POV just like an FPS. Framing this "blood"-letting is a hard-boiled "insurgents armed with a super-duper weapon" narrative that sees you pulling Gs across oodles of danger zones from Africa to Miami. So all very Modern Warfare-in-the-sky then...
You get to fly in some serious military hardware as you hop from continent to continent from a door gunner (think 'copter-mounted bullet spitter; hapless AK47-wielding enemies on the ground') through to a stealth bomber (think 'cool bit from Modern Warfare where you quietly rain down death-from-above on troops thousands of feet below you'), and more.
Making up the main meat of the game though are the fighter plane sections. You can expect the usual hellfire and panicked radio chatter as you zip across the skies and between skyscrapers, trying to direct a missile up a tango's back passage. What lifts the dogfighting out of the norm though is the surprisingly visceral Close-Range Assault system. This lets you get right up to the tailpipes of the enemy's plane and then try and unleash all manner of destruction on their bogey bottoms, as they twist and turn frantically, mere inches from your face.
With full online play too, AC:AH offers a frenetic mix of sim and arcade action. And considering that this is the 12th game in the series, staying so fresh after 16 years is one hell of a (bloody) achievement.

KINGSTON, N.Y. -- A Kingston man was arrested following the disappearance of a 12-year-old girl. Police in Kingston say they received a report of a girl missing at her middle school bus stop Friday morning.
According to witnesses a blue car approached the girl, and drove away with her shortly after. The victim was located about an hour later.
Kingston Police say further investigation lead to the arrest of Evodio Martinez-Lobato, 27. He is charged with endangering the welfare of a child and was released. Martinez-Lobato is scheduled to reappear next week in Kingston City Court.
