All right, so I have a question about breeding. This is a Generation 5 breeding question. Scenario: I have two pokemon:
Tyranitar (M) @Everstone Trait: Sand Stream EVs: 252 HP/ 104 Atk/ 152 SpD/ <---(Don't know if it matters) Nature: Adamant(+Atk, -SpA) -Stealth Rock -Earthquake -Stone Edge -Crunch
IVs: 31 HP, 31 Atk, 31 Def, 31 SpA, 31 SpD, 31 Spe
Who is breeding with: Ditto @ (No Item) Trait: Limber EVs: (none) Hardy Nature: (+Atk, -Atk) -Transform
According to bulbapedia, the site I've been following for breeding, the following should happen:
However, some things are not working. My problems are:
Please do not answer the question or comment with more questions like: Why do you need another Tyranitar if you have a perfect one in the first place? This is just one scenario. I've had lots of breeding troubles, and I'd like to find out why.
If you answer this question correctly, and help me out, you get Bonus points and a golden cookie.
1) Why isn't it always getting an adamant nature?
It is only a 50/50 chance that the parent holding the Everstone will pass it's nature down. (Fun Fact: In B2W2, it a 100% chance,)
2) Why isn't it getting perfect IVs?
Ok, rewind. You will get 3 IVs from the parents meaning 1 IV from let's say. Ttar, and 2 from Ditto, not 3 each (or the other way around). They will also be different (Both parents will not give their Atk IVs.) If you give Tyranitar the Power Bracer, it will pass down it's Attack IV and then 2 different IVs are passed down from either parent. If both hold Power Items, the baby will get one or the other, not both.
(Ditto + Power Weight) + (Tyranitar + Power Bracer) = Baby with either Ditto's HP IV OR Tyranitar's Atk IV. Then 2 different random IVs other than Attack or HP, depending on what you get.
The last 3 IVs are random.
3) If the Larvitar DOES have perfect IVs, what will it's characteristic be?
(Often dozes off, Likes to thrash about, Capable of taking hits, Mischievous, Somewhat vain, Alert to sounds).
It does not matter which one you get. The game just picks a random IV of 31 out of the perfect group and gives you that characteristic.
HP: | Attack: | Defense: | Sp. Attack: | Sp. Defense: | Speed:
Okay, leggo! ;P
For the games from Pokémon Emerald onwards, you have the ability to pass Natures on through breeding. This is done by attaching the Everstone to either of the Pokémon or the Ditto. Once attached, there is a 50% chance of the baby Pokémon having the nature of the female. This changed to being for either Pokémon in HeartGold & SoulSilver and changed to a 100% likelihood of passing down in Black 2 & White 2.
1). The Everstone only has a 50% chance of getting the same nature as its parent.
HeartGold & SoulSilver add another means to transfer specific IVs over from parent to child.The manner of doing this is in having either parent hold a specific item. These Items are the "Power" Items introduced in Diamond & Pearl which boosted Effort Values earned when held. Attach these Items to either of the parents and their specific Individual Value will be passed on to the baby. Consult the table below to see which item causes the baby to inherit which stat. This allows you to send one Individual Values to your baby Pokémon, leaving the rest determined the same way as in the past with some random and some selected randomly from the parents. If you do it to both parents, you'll get a chance of one stat or the other, not both.
2). Big cut from Serebii. xD Anyways, pretty self-explainatory.
~ Yes, it should have Stealth Rock as an Egg Move. It should also have Earthquake and Stone Edge because they're TMs and the Male Father (Tyranitar) is able to pass them down.
Hope this helps! ;P

Read full entryAdansonia
Adansonia is a genus of eight species of tree, six native to Madagascar, one native to mainland Africa and the Arabian Peninsula and one to Australia. The mainland African species also occurs on Madagascar, but it is not a native of that island, and was introduced in ancient times to south Asia and during the colonial era to the Caribbean.[2] A ninth species was identified in 2012, incorporating upland populations of southern and eastern Africa.[3]
A typical common name is baobab. Other common names include boab, boaboa, tabaldi, bottle tree, upside-down tree, and monkey bread tree. The generic name honours Michel Adanson, the French naturalist and explorer who described Adansonia digitata.
Adansonias reach heights of 5 to 30 m (16 to 98 ft) and have trunk diameters of 7 to 11 m (23 to 36 ft). Glencoe baobab – an African baobab specimen in Limpopo Province, South Africa, often considered the largest example alive – up to recent times had a circumference of 47 m (154 ft).[4] Its diameter is estimated at about 15.9 m (52 ft). Recently the tree split up into two parts and it is possible that the stoutest tree now is Sunland baobab, also in South Africa. The diameter of this tree is 10.64 m (34.9 ft), with an approximate circumference of 33.4 m (110 ft).[citation needed]
Some baobabs are reputed to be many thousands of years old, which is difficult to verify, as the wood does not produce annual growth rings, though radiocarbon dating may be able to provide age data.[citation needed]
Contents |
The Malagasy species are important components of the Madagascar dry deciduous forests. Within that biome, Adansonia madagascariensis and Adansonia rubrostipa occur specifically in the Anjajavy Forest, sometimes growing out of the tsingy limestone itself.
Adansonia digitata has bee growing in salt plains and by the sea, so may be a halophyte (salt tolerant).[5][6]
- Adansonia digitata L. – African Baobab (western, northeastern, central & southern Africa, and in Oman and Yemen in the Arabian Peninsula, Asia)
- Adansonia grandidieri Baill. – Grandidier's Baobab (Madagascar)
- Adansonia gregorii F.Muell. (syn. Adansonia gibbosa) – Boab or Australian Baobab (northwest Australia)
- Adansonia kilima Pettigrew et al. – montane African baboab (eastern & southern Africa)[3]
- Adansonia madagascariensis Baill. – Madagascar Baobab (Madagascar)
- Adansonia perrieri Capuron – Perrier's Baobab (North Madagascar)
- Adansonia rubrostipa Jum. & H.Perrier (syn. Adansonia fony) – Fony Baobab (Madagascar)
- Adansonia suarezensis H.Perrier – Suarez Baobab (Diego Suarez, Madagascar)
- Adansonia za Baill. – Za Baobab (Madagascar)[7]
Water storage[edit]
Baobabs store water in the trunk (up to 120,000 litres or 32,000 US gallons) to endure the harsh drought conditions particular to each region.[8] All occur in seasonally arid areas, and are deciduous, shedding their leaves during the dry season.
Since 2008, there has been increasing interest for developing baobab seeds or dried fruit powder for consumer products.[9][10] As of 2010, the potential international market was estimated at $1 billion per year.[11]
The tree also provides a source of fiber, dye, and fuel. Indigenous Australians used baobabs as a source of water and food, leaves for traditional medicine, and painted or carved fruits to be worn as ornaments.[citation needed] A large, hollow baobab south of Derby, Western Australia was used in the 1890s as a prison for convicts on their way to Derby for sentencing. The Boab Prison Tree, Derby still stands and is now a tourist attraction. There is a similar tree near the Western Australian town of Wyndham.[citation needed]
The leaves, eaten fresh or as a powder, are commonly used as a leaf vegetable or a soup ingredient in mainland Africa.[citation needed]
The fruit has a velvety shell and is about the size of a coconut,[11] weighing about 1.5 kilograms (3.3 lb). It has an acidic, tart flavor, described as "somewhere between grapefruit, pear, and vanilla".[11][12]
The dried fruit powder contains about 12% water and various nutrients, including carbohydrates, dietary fiber, vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, B vitamins, potassium and iron.[12][13][14][15]
In Zimbabwe, the fruit is used in traditional food preparations which include "eating the fruit fresh or crushed crumbly pulp to stir into porridge and drinks".[11] In Sudan, it may be moistened in water to make a juice.[citation needed] Malawi women have set up commercial ventures harvesting the baobab to earn their children's school fees.[11]
In the European Union (EU) prior to commercial approval, baobab fruit powder was not available for ingredient uses, as legislation from 1997 dictated that foods not commonly consumed in the EU would have to be formally approved first. In 2008, baobab dried fruit pulp was authorized in the EU as a safe food ingredient,[16] and it was later granted GRAS status in the United States.[17]
Food uses[edit]
The powdery white interior may be used as a "thickener in jams and gravies, a sweetener for fruit drinks, or a tangy flavor addition to hot sauces."[11][14] The dry fruit pulp, separated from seeds and fibers, is eaten directly or mixed into porridge or milk, and is also known as "monkey's bread". The dry fruit pulp may be covered in sugary coating (usually with red coloring) and sold in packages as a sweet and sour candy.[citation needed]
The dry pulp is either eaten fresh or added to gruels. In Tanzania, it is added to aid fermentation of sugar cane for beer making.[18] Pulp can be stored for beverage production, but it needs airtight containers. Storage is improved by the use of sodium metabisulphite.[citation needed] It can also be frozen if ground to a powder. In Asia, it is an ingredient in a carbonated soda called Baobab Pepsi described as having a citrus taste.[19]
In the coastal areas of Kenya and Tanzania, baobab seeds are cooked with sugar, colored, and sold as a snack. The seeds are mostly used as a thickener for soups, but may also be fermented into a seasoning, roasted for direct consumption, or pounded to extract vegetable oil.[citation needed]
Culture and myths[edit]
- Tabaldi is the name of the baobab tree in Sudan, and its fruit is gongalis[clarification needed]. Baobab's trunk is used as a tank to store water. People in west Sudan use the hollow in the trunk to save water in the rainy season. Gongalis is used to make juice or to cure stomach and other diseases.[citation needed]
- The owners of Sunland Farm in Limpopo, South Africa have built a pub called "The Big Baobab Pub" inside the hollow trunk of the 22 metres (72 ft) high Sunland baobab. The tree is 47 m (154 ft) in circumference, and is reported to have been carbon dated at over 6,000 years old.[20][21]

Ok not to be nasty or sound rude but the offical Halo profile was rubbish as it did't feel right or work well for a halo game.
Being a massive Halo fan I have redone it so it is very close to the actual setup from the xbox! It has been slitly modifed so its a little closer to Halo 3 but it still works great!!
The only issue I have is sensativity as everyone likes it diffrently so I have left that alone you will need to setit up how you like!
If theres any setting that can be fine tuned then please do so but share it with us.

A sly slang term for hallucinogenic mushrooms. Can be used just to refer to mushrooms in particular or when you're really optimistic about the potence of a recent acquisition.
Also a good way to refer to drugs when talking to sober people who say hi to you on the street at random. Stranger 1: "How's it goin?"
You: "Just waitin' for the fireworks, man." Dealer: "You ever had these before?" Buyers: "Nope." Dealer: "They're some real fireworks. Have fun tonight, guys." |

Françoise Oklaga
Canadian, 1924–1991
Scene with Spirits, 1978
coloured pencil, graphite on paper
56.1 x 76.1 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired with funds from The Winnipeg Art Gallery Foundation Inc.
Françoise Oklaga was the sister of Cape Dorset artists Pudlo and Ooshutsiak Pudlat, but she was adopted at an early age and grew up in the area of Chesterfield Inlet. In 1975 she moved to Baker Lake and was intrigued by the active art scene in the community. Over 15 years she created many original works on paper, although only a few were rendered into prints for the annual Baker Lake print collections in the 1980s. Her exuberant style features bold primary colours and figures that burst in and out of the edges of the picture plane. As in the WAG drawing, many of her works have large human faces as focal points, with various animals and hybrid creatures clustered within and around the main figures.

I've never had a problem with spammers or spambots, doesn't mean they haven't tried though. I must admit, since using CF, they don't come knocking on my door these days.
Phil from Ning suggested CF in a discussion some months back. Great advice.
I just set mine up. Took 5 minutes tops and well worth it. Thanks Patrick and Josh.
A quick note - Make sure you don't use simultaneous js loading because it messes up my chat in Chrome and IE.
Okay I will double check mine to make sure its fine. I appreciate you Mr. Swap!
Hi, what is this cloudflare and how do you set it up? how does it stop spammers? Sorry I am a little out of the loop! but I went to the site and saw many things but no clear answer or maybe I am dense, and I don't see how admins can stop spammers this way..?
It stops spammers at the DNS level, then if suspected as a spammer (usually a bot) it will show them a captcha. All you need to do is > make an account (cloudflare.com) add your domain there > scan it > change your DNS settings with your hosting company to point to there servers and your done. You can select the level of security you need.
This is show it works - this is just from Wednesday - http://www.webpagescreenshot.info/img/376301-621201235614PM
wow...thank you very much Josh! I have been looking for something like this.
I've been using them for almost a year, and I like them.
I also use them for their statistics, which work better than google analytics on Ning sites.
Google Analytics does not track clicks on a page unless the click takes you to another page. Cloudflare does.
I've installed Cloudflare and it hasn't reduced the number of spammers who want to join my Ning. I thought it would stop them when they try to join and block them so I wouldn't even see them on my list of members to approve. Do I need to change specific settings on my Ning?
I've been having success with CloudFlare until the past few days. It's seems that they re getting in through the mobile version of my site, and I had to turn on the approval process. I never had this problem, but now it seems like spammers are somehow finding a way to exploit the mobile version of my Ning. It might be the same with you, Heidi.
If the spammers in question don't have a profile pic despite your networks settings requiring profile pics, then it means (according to Ning) they're accessing your network via mobile.

Jazz Al Centro Pirelli
LP (Item 479961) Cinedelic (Italy), 1970 — Condition: New Copy
A rare 1970 set from Italian tenorist Gianni Basso – a set that's easily one of the greatest examples of his talents we've ever heard! Basso's tone on tenor is amazing – blown with a sense of freedom that's breathtaking, with odd phrasings and voicings that are extremely personal – almost in the territory of Sonny Rollins on his live classics of the 60s, or Albert Ayler in more inside moments – even though Gianni's never too outside. There's a sense of balance here that's brilliant – as Basso clearly could let loose into much freer territory, yet always keeps his cool and instead fits the tunes with a range of sounds few others players might match. The rest of the group is wonderful too – with Renato Sellani on piano, Giorgio Azzolini on bass, and Gil Cuppini on drums – working with Gianni on titles that include "Gingerbread Boy", "Naima", "So What", "Reaching Forth", and "Sweet Little Maya".

Comments about Smoby Interactive Cotoons Musical Train Set:
I bought this for my 6 month old and she loves to watch it and hear the sounds. However my 3 year old enjoys it even more.she put it together herself and figured out how to run it.I am very happy with this purchase.
Not for my 12 month old
By Grammy
from Silver Spring, MD
I bought this as a first birthday present for my very active grandson. After watching him "play" with this set I do think he is too young for it. He couldn't quite figure out how to make it go even with a demonstration. He got bored pretty quickly watching an adult make it work and then just having it circle and circle the track. The train was much more interesting to him when we took it off the track and just let it go on the carpet. Perhaps he will grow into this, but I wish I had bought something else for a 12 month old.

The age given is misleading
By Karen D

We haven't used it yet, but I was disappointed in the age listed. It said 12+ on the front of the box, but when I read the small print on the bottom of the box, it said it should only be used with adult supervision if under the age of 4. That is quite a big difference.

In his inaugural address Monday, President Barack Obama did many things to set the stage — and the tone — for the way he will govern and the legacy he will leave behind.
Pundits, critics and defenders are already weighing in on what the president meant by his words or how those words will now define his presidency, what battles will be fought and which ones will ultimately be won, and how it all will impact we, the people.
While we don't agree with the president on every issue, his remarks strike a chord that we should all pick up on, the same chord that has been preached from pulpits, service organization podiums and these, as well as similar, pages for many years — the belief this country was founded upon: that all people should be treated equal and that it is incumbent upon those of us who have received much to give much in return.
We all say we want people to be treated equally, but do we treat them that way, or do we only want those who think like us, look like us, act like us and have beliefs like ours to be treated that way, while castigating others?
It's time we looked inwardly and answered that question for ourselves.
But the president is right. This country was founded on equality for all and it is time all were given that equality.
Just as true is our responsibility to our fellow man. The Bible remind us that to those much is given, much is expected. Sometimes it seems as if we've forgotten our charge as we work to get ahead, quick to criticize those we don't believe have earned the same right.
But who are we to determine what someone else has earned, or what circumstances have left them needing assistance that we, ourselves, might someday need?
While there is truth in the argument that many people abuse government programs designed to help people who have found themselves down on their luck but, over time, have contributed much to society as a whole, does that really mean we should neglect those who truly need the assistance.
And what, really, is the difference between what some consider a government handout and the government subsidies that others receive.
How often has government, through the years, been there to assist. Consider the GI Bill, an government act established in 1944 that provided a range of benefits for returning World War II veterans (commonly referred to as G.I.s). Benefits included low-cost mortgages, low-interest loans to start a business or farm, cash payments of tuition and living expenses to attend college, high school or vocational education, as well as one year of unemployment compensation.
What about Rural Electric Service, something many in Sampson County continue to benefit from today.
That service, which traces its roots to the Rural Electrification Administration (REA), one of the New Deal agencies created under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt,was created in 1935 with the primary goal of providing electricity to areas that power companies were unwilling to service in rural America.
Both provided government assistance to those who greatly needed the hand up to help them succeed.
How are they, really, so different from assistance programs of today?
They aren't. But perhaps our thinking is.
Hear the president's words: "…But we reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future. For we remember the lessons of our past, when twilight years were spent in poverty and parents of a child with a disability had nowhere to turn. … We do not believe that in this country freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few. We recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives, any one of us at any time may face a job loss, or a sudden illness, or a home swept away in a terrible storm…."
We, the people, still believe that our obligations as Americans are not just to ourselves, but to all posterity.
It's something to think about.

Allery was convicted in May, at the U.S. Federal Court in St. Paul., for the misuse of travel expenditures for temporary housing expenses when he was given a promotional transfer from Aberdeen, SD, to Bemidji in November of 1984. Allery resigned his Bemidji IHS post in December of 1988 following the lengthy investigation by the Inspector General's office of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services. Investigations continue on other misuse and mismanagement of health care funds by Allery and three or four other staff members at the Bemidji Area IHS Office.

Leech Lake trespass case in District Court Walker, Minn. - The Chippewa Trespass case is scheduled to go to District Court in Walker on July 18. Ten members of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe were charged with trespassing last April when they held a sit-in at Tribal Headquarters in Cass Lake protesting tribal government. During previous hearings questions were raised by the defense contesting the court's jurisdiction to arrest the protestors since the arrest took place on tribal grounds. The defense cited their right to peaceful assembly as tribal members on tribal grounds which is guaranteed under the Minnesota Tribe Constitution and the Indian Civil Rights Act. White Earth company lands contract to make T-shirts for military use The Honeywell Corporation recently awarded a U. S. government contract valued at $400,000 to the White Earth Garment Manufacturing Company. The Small Business Administration awarded the contract with the Defense Personnel Support Center for the garment factory to supply 180,000 white T-shirts for military use beginning Oct. 1. Eight to 10 jobs are expected to be added at the factory and the contract is renewable at the end of the term. Initially, the Detroit Lakes Technical Institute will assist in the training of the new employees beginning in August, 1989. Sales should exceed $1 million with this new contract according to factory manager. Bill Osborne. Correction: The feature in the last issue, a Commentary about Red Earth, White Earth, inadvertantly was not properly acknowledged. Those comments were penned by Keith Whitewolf Sackett who is a member of the Shinnecock Tribe located in the New York-New Jersey area. The staff apologizes for this oversight. Founded in 1988 Volume 1 Issue 52 July 1,1989 ] 1 Copyright, the Ojibwe News, 1989 A Bi-Monthly Publication Bemidji, Minnesota 56601 Dr. Everett Rhoades, Indian Health Services Director addresses the audience at the dedication ceremonies for the Jourdain/Perpich Extended Care Facility on the Red Lake Reservation held on June 17,1989. Approximately 600 persons attended including former Govenor Orville Freeman, Govenor Rudy Perpich, several local state legislatures and various tribal dignitaries. The facility which was built with $2.85 million of State of Minnesota funds is scheduled to open on July 15,1989. The facility which will provide 49 beds, will employ 55 persons and require an operating budget of $2.8 million. Additional IHS indictments forthcoming By Bill Lawrence Investigations continue regarding the misuse of travel and other funds by some members of the staff at the Bemidji Area Indian Public Health Service. Sources have told the News that the ongoing investigations by the Office of the Inspector General, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, will in all probability lead to the filing of additional indictments against three or four staff members of the Bemidji office who worked under Alan Allery. Allery, former Bemidji Area Director from 1984-1988, was recently indicted for filing false travel vouchers. Based upon documents reviewed by the News, former director Allery demonstrated flagrant abuse of authority and mismanagement of health care service funds, resulting in some Indian people being denied such significant health services as cataract surgery for the elderly and eyeglasses for school children. Items under investigation include the misuse of travel funds by several sSfaff members. ■*iixampies of this misuse of funds include unjustified use of chartered aircraft which at times included non-governement passengers on questionable trips. The Bemidji Area Office made widespread use of open purchase orders, such as the payment of accomadations for central office staff and area directors at the Mackinaw Island at $125 per room. These individuals also received per diem payments from their own travel budgets. Other instances of misuse of travel funds include: 1) abuse of rental cars, 2) accommodations for staff in motel rooms when dormitory rooms were provided, 3) instances where staff supposedly attended meetings which demonstrated no results, 4) personal use of Frequent Flyer Memberships, which were purchased by government travel funds, and 5) claiming taxi expense when none was used. Other alleged misuses of funds included the purchase of $1000 worth of video games, personal magazine subscriptions, personal phone calls made on government credit cards, use of three hours a week office time for physical fitness after being told twice that this was inappropriate, failure to advertise for position openings and creating positions for friends who were unqualified, and allowing an IHS employee to sit on the North Country Hospital Board, possibly constituting a conflict of interest. Open purchase orders have been placed with tribes in order to circumvent regulations for the illegal purchase of food, gifts, restaurant meals, and other expenditures. Sources have informed the News that these violations have occurred for years under Allery's directorship, during which time all attempts to report these violations have been ignored or stone-walled. Not until the matter was brought to the attention of Senator Duremburger was there any attempt to launch an investigation. These investigations have not included Red Lake contracts because the tribal/political relationship with Dr. Rhoades has allowed the tribe to circumvent the Area Office altogether. Their contracts are also under investigation. Shirt of Sitting Bull's adopted son donated to state By Bob Imrie Associated Press Writer Bismarck, N.D. (AP) - An Indian family, needing money to pay medical bills, sold a $10,000 buckskin shirt that belonged to the adopted son of Sitting Bull in a deal that allowed the clothing to be donated to the state museum. The pullover, decorated with beaded strips and patches, was worn by One Bull in the 1920s, Chris Dill, director of the North Dakota Historical Society's museum division, said in a statement Tuesday. "One Bull was an important figure in the state's history, having fought at the Little Bighorn and being a close associate of Sitting Bull," Dill said. "This is a major gift, a real treasure." However, the circumstances surrounding how the state acquired the shirt point out the financial plight of One Bull's ancestors. One Bull's daughter, Margaret One Bull Tremmel, made the shirt for her father. She recently sold it to Dr. John Hamilton of Williston so he could donate it and some fur-trimmed leggings to the state, Dill said. Hamilton, a dentist, refused to divulge how much he paid for the shirt but said it had been appraised at between $10,000 and $15,000. He paid "something less" than that, he said. Mrs. Tremmel, 80, suffers from Parkinson's disease and was placed in a Mobridge, S.D., nursing home in April, said her daughter, Maethus Grey Bear of Fort Yates. The family needs the money for medical costs and other expenses. Grey Bear said. Mrs. Tremmel wanted the shirt to end up in a museum where it would be safe, Grey Bear said. Mrs. Tremmel initially asked the Historical Society to buy the shirt, but the state agency was unable to raise enough money, Hamilton said. "I thought that it was just a real shame that we weren't able to keep something like that in the state." Sitting Bull, a Sioux leader, adopted One Bull when the boy was 4 years old, Dill said. One Bull, who died in 1948 at the age of 105, was credited with killing four of Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer's soldiers during the Battle of the Little Bighorn on June 25,1876, Hamilton said. The shirt has beaded patches with the names One Bull on the front and Sitting Bull on the back, he said. Bridget Jones, currator of collections for the Historical Society, said the state has pictures of One Bull wearing the shirt. Tribe requests $14.5 million for operation Red Lake's Indian Health Service contract delayed Bill Lawrence According to information obtained from sources who wish to remain anonymous, the News learned that the Red Lake Tribal Council's application to contract administration of the Red Lake Indian Health Service (IHS) Hospital/Clinic is to be delayed for at least one year. Documents reviewed by the News indicated that the tribe had originally planned to take over operation of the hospital on May 15, 1989. The primary reason cited for the delay is the Tribal Council's failure to accept accountability requirements of the 1988 amendments to PL93-638. In addition, the News has learned that opposition of the tribal contract of the hospital by several members of the Red Lake Tribal Council, a $45 million overrun in the IHS's FY89 budget, together with the current Senate hearings into alleged widespread corruption and mismanagement within the IHS, have also resulted in delays in the IHS's consideration of the Red Lake application. By letter dated February 17, 1989, to Everett R. Rhoades, Director of the Indian Health Service, from Monte C. Hammitt, Red Lake Tribal Health Director, the Red Lake Tribal Council requested $3.8 million for transitional and indirect costs to enable the tribe to contract the IHS Hospital/Clinic. Included with the letter was a proposed budget of nearly $14.5 million the tribe is requesting to operate the Red Lake Health Care Delivery System during Fiscal Year 1990 (October 1, 1989 to September 30,1990). As part of this amount, the tribe is seeking $11.7 million from the IHS, with the balance of approximately $2.8 million to be realized from operation of the newly dedicated Jourdain/Perpich Extended Care Facility. The tribe's projected costs of nearly $2.8 million to operate the 49-bed Jourdain/Perpich Facility is predicated totally on the payment of user fees. Income projections are based upon a 94 percent daily patient occupancy at an average per patient daily rate of$162.19. This rate appears optimistic when compared to the Beltrami County Nursing Home's current range of daily rates per patient of $41.96 to $82.34. In addition, the low occupancy rates of the Red Lake Hospital (32.8 percent) and its liberal admission policy would indicate a hesitancy of many tribal members to use these facilities. Insufficient occupancy of both the hospital and elderly home with their fixed overhead costs could utilize an excessive amount of available health care funds and result in a reduction of health services to the Red Lake people. Contracting of the IHS Hospital/ Clinic by the Red Lake'Tribal Council has become a very controversial issue on the Red Lake Reservation. Tribal opponents to the contracting are concerned that, like the Red Lake Comprehensive Health Program, which is currently administered by the tribal council, the Hospital/Clinic would become highly politicalized with an adverse effect on reservation health care. The main complaint against the Comprehensive Health Program is that it is operated by Tribal Chair- man Jourdain and his Chief Lieutenant Monte Hammitt as a personal fiefdom. Tribal critics complain that the program is rank with nepotism, favoritism, and plagued by the misuse of funds. They also complain that high administrative costs, excessive absenteeism, tardiness, and unnecessary positions make the program ineffective. One tribal member told the News that Tribal Health Director Monte Hammitt spends little time in his office, despite his annual salary of $72,875. Another tribal member told the News that he is amazed that the IHS would even consider contracting with the tribe because they have mismanaged and failed to comply with contract requirements in all their current BIA and IHS contracts. He said that the tribal council has still not complied with the audit requirements of the 1984 single audit act for fiscal years 1987 and 1988. A call to the Office of Inspector General, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services verified the above statement.

Gwinnett Daily Post
NORCROSS -- For the third year in a row, the city of Norcross celebrates Chanukah, the festival of lights.
A 10-foot grand menorah has been erected in Thrasher Park, which will be lit tonight by Rabbi Yossi Lerman, Director Chabad of Gwinnett and other community leaders.
"It's hard for us to do the lighting on a Saturday because that is our Shabbat," he said. "We would only have a few hours to prepare the event. We like to do it on a Sunday -- it's more of a family day."
For the inaugural year, the menorah lighting was held at the Iron Horse Tavern. The Chabad of Gwinnett wanted the event to be more family-oriented, so they moved to the park.
The organization will have snacks for the attendees, plus gifts for all of the children during the event.
If You Go
• What: Menorah lighting
• When: 6 to 8 p.m. today
• Where: Thrasher Park, 93 Park Drive, Norcross
• Cost: Free

How Many People Have Been Killed by Guns Since Newtown?
Slate partners with @GunDeaths for an interactive, crowdsourced tally of the toll firearms have taken since Dec. 14.
Posted Wednesday, April 17, 2013, at 6:12 PM
The answer to the simple question in that headline is surprisingly hard to come by. So Slate and the Twitter feed @GunDeaths are collecting data for our crowdsourced interactive. This data is necessarily incomplete. But the more people who are paying attention, the better the data will be. You can help us draw a more complete picture of gun violence in America. If you know about a gun death in your community that isn't represented here, please tweet @GunDeaths with a citation. (If you're not on Twitter, you can email email@example.com.) And if you'd like to use this data yourself for your own projects, it's open. You can download it here.

Show Methodology
Each victim under 13 years of age is designated "child"; from 13 to 17: "teen"; 18 and older: "adult."
The same icons used to represent male victims is also used to represent victims of unknown gender. The same icons used to represent adult victims is also used to represent victims of unknown age group.
The yellow and blue backgrounds represent alternating days.
The information is collected by @gunDeaths from news reports about the deaths. The Slate interactives team and @gunDeaths continually manages and revises the data.
The data are not comprehensive because not all gun-related deaths are reported by the news media. For example, suicides often go unreported.

Christ, this year is speeding past. As we near the middle of the year (and Daisy's birthday, followed by mine a month later), it feels like I've not done as much as I wanted to in 2013, so I've got some catching up to do on a number of fronts.
I've looked at this kind of thing before, but from a different viewpoint (Tuesday Ten: 024), where bands changed direction decisively for what they would likely protest is "artistic reasons".
During my recent Depeche Mode live review, I noted that they were one of those bands that I'd been waiting a long, long time to see, and indeed, over the past few years, I've made considerable inroads into a long list of similar bands.
Usually, I guess, when you emigrate to the other side of the world, and start a new life 10,500 miles from your home city, continuing your existing band/musical project may not be high on the list of priorities as you settle down.
A shorter break between posts this time, as I try and get back into the rhythm of doing more of my thing, and not being dragged down by work all the time. And at least for now, it seems to be working, I'm somewhat happier, I'm trying not to get too stressed at work, and I can relax out of the office (as I've done this evening, with a post-work pint and food in the company of and ).

Physical activity (PA) status of Pacific communities in New Zealand
According to the Active New Zealand Survey (ANZS) 2007/08 results by Sport and Recreation New Zealand (SPARC) 52% of Pacific respondents were regularly active, 36.5% were sometimes active compared with those who were not active (10.9%). While over half the people surveyed appeared to be active enough, 47% could be more active. That is, the data suggests that less than half are not meeting the national guidelines of 30 minutes of PA on at least 5 days out of 7.
Demographic profile of Pacific ethnic groups in New Zealand
In 2006, based on Ministry of Health data, the Pacific population accounted for 6.9% (265,974) of the total population in New Zealand. Samoa was the biggest community (49%) followed by Cook Islands (22%) Tongan (19%) Niuean (8%) Fijian (4%) Tokelauan (3%) and Tuvaluan (1%) peoples. Also, 37.7% of the Pacific population was under 15 years compared to 21.3% of the total population and the median age was 21 compared to the national average of 35 years. The majority (67%) of the Pacific population was living in Auckland (as was 66% of the Samoan population), and 60% of the population was born in New Zealand, the same percentage as 60% the Samoan population.
Increased levels of PA could reduce health risks affecting Pacific peoples in New Zealand
Getting more people active could slow down the rate of modern lifestyle diseases such as cardiovascular disease. Physical activity may also reduce or eliminate risk factors such as cigarette smoking, high blood pressure and diabetes, overweight and obesity. Obesity affects more Pacific people than non Pacific people in New Zealand. For instance, in 2008, the Ministry of Social Development reported that Pacific peoples aged 15 years and over had higher obesity rates (65%) than the total population in this age group compared with European/other (23%) ethnic groups between 2006 and 2007.
Are you active enough?
- Are you achieving the national PA guidelines?
- What does PA mean to you?
- What types of PA do you enjoy?
- What makes it difficult for Pacific peoples to do PA?
- What would make easier for Pacific peoples to do more PA?
Talofa [Hello] I am a self employed independent researcher and I lead and manage Pasifika Research Ltd which is focused on improving education, health and social wellbeing of Pacific peoples in New Zealand. I have a degree in Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management and a Post Graduate Diploma in Sports and Leisure Studies. In 2009, I graduated with a Masters degree in Sport and Leisure Studies and my thesis was focused on understanding young people's perceptions and experiences of physical activity in Apia, Samoa. In my spare time, I like to mountain bike, work out with weights, cross train, travel, read and write articles.

From the moment I installed these spring straps on my fins, I have been in fin strap heaven. They are MUCH stronger than rubber straps, easier to put on, hold my feet firmly in the fins, and are easier to remove after the dive.I wear a drysuit and heavy boots, and these are easy to strech over my boots. They also have a backup wire in the middle to prevent over streching.I really like the fact that they are NOT quick disconnect like some of the others. The connection point on these is very solid with no plastic parts at all. These will surely provide years of use and abuse(considering I dive 2-3 days per week that is a lot of use).Order the size that matches your fin size and you should be good. Highly recommended!

About Me Professional
Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Stainless Steel Pro Fin Spring Strap - Pro Diver, Black:
After I ordered these straps, I read some of the reviews. I almost cancelled the order based on the number of reviewers that claimed rust and breakage.Well, I'm glad I didn't cancel the order. I've been using these straps with my Cressi fins for about a month now, have about 20 dives on them and so far, have not seen a speck of rust or other corrosion. I do rinse them after every use. They do the job they are supposed to do and I am very happy with them. Absolutely recommended.

Spring rusted and snapped after 6 months. I rinsed the fins and springs carefully after each dive and after I arrived home. If you feel you must buy these carry a spare strap.

Only lasted 6 dives or so the spring started rusting and broke without warning. I rigged a temporary repair on one spring but the other broke at the same place. I will return them at great cost for a credit on principle. This was a gift to my daughter.

Regular use of acetaminophen (the ingredient in Tylenol) has been linked to a greater risk of hypertension in postmenopausal women (Hypertension, September 2005).
Aspirin does not raise blood pressure or increase the risk of other cardiovascular complications. It can, however, cause digestive-tract upset or ulcers.
Is there any research proving that topical vitamin E heals scars faster if applied daily?
The idea that applying vitamin E oil to scars can make them heal faster has been circulating for decades. The little research that has been done does not support this claim, however.
In one study, patients were followed carefully after skin-cancer surgery (Dermatologic Surgery, April 1999). A moisturizing ointment (Aquaphor) containing vitamin E was applied to part of the scar, while plain Aquaphor was applied to the other part. Neither patients nor physicians knew which ointment contained the vitamin E.
The scars treated with vitamin E did not heal faster. In fact, many looked worse. One-third of the patients actually developed contact dermatitis (red rash) in response to vitamin E.

EMCC Lady Lions top Pearl River 68-64 at Gulf Coast Classic |
PERKINSTON – The EMCC Lady Lions won for the second time in as many days Tuesday afternoon, notching a 68-64 basketball victory over Pearl River in second-day action of the Gulf Coast Classic.
Coach Sharon Thompson's 5-3 East Mississippi squad claimed a 70-57 win over host Mississippi Gulf Coast Monday afternoon at Weathers/Wentzell Center to snap a two-game losing skid on the year. In Tuesday's contest against the Lady Wildcats of PRCC, the EMCC women maintained the advantage throughout the second half after holding a 34-32 halftime edge. The Lady Lions weren't able to put away Pearl River in the game because of sub-par 20-of-32 shooting from the free throw line. Individually, the Columbus tandem of Nashedra Barry and Natalie Tate topped the Lady Lions with 11 and 10 points, respectively. Featuring balanced scoring for the second straight day in tournament action, 11 EMCC players entered the scoring column against Pearl River. Freshman guard Shanteria Tate, from Noxubee County High School, followed with nine points, while reigning all-state forward Martika Hull and freshman guard Malashia Chandler added eight points apiece for the winners. Following the Thanksgiving holiday, the East Mississippi basketball teams will return to action next week for a pair of road doubleheaders. After taking on the defending state champions of Jones County Monday (Nov. 30) in Ellisville, the EMCC squads tip off MACJC North Division action next Thursday (Dec. 3) in Senatobia against Northwest Mississippi. |
