text: Lord of the Flies UU balanced offense team Introduction: First, I'd like to thank everyone here for taking a look at my RMT. I'd like to say I put a lot of work into the presentation for my team due to its successes I will outline later. Nevertheless... I'm sure most of ya'll known me primarily as a battler in the OU environment. Heck, I'm surprised that I somehow managed to get into UU as well, being the only tier I had yet to play in consistently when I first came up with the idea for this team. To be quite honest, I have to say that OU has gotten quite boring for me and the emphasis on team matchups in rather annoying to deal with, so I can say for now I've pretty much migrated over to the UU tier for now. Anyways, the original concept for this team actually got started back when I was working on the Donphan analysis update (which is currently on-site, so make sure to check it out). I was specifically working on testing the Choice Band set, which I heard was great at creating holes in the opponent's team due to the high raw power it is capable of. From what I had heard at that point, Yanmega was one of the best partners to Donphan in the tier because it could easily benefit from Donphan's ability to spin away Stealth Rock, plus it gets multiple chances to switch into the Grass type attacks aimed at Donphan. From there, I pretty much began working on a general concept that could bring the most amount of success for this team. Due to my lack of expertise with pure offense, I decided I wanted to make a defensive team that could revolve around a certain strategy, which actually turned out to be to weaken the opponent through entry hazards to set up a possible sweep while at the same time being able to take most hits comfortably. In short, it can be said that all team members are vital and not just Yanmega (which the title implies). I chose the name Lord of the Flies for this RMT because I had just read the book for summer reading, and it characterizes Yanmega perfectly. For all of us who have battled in the UU ladder, I'm sure all of us can agree that Yanmega is certainly a threat that should not be ignored, because if not prepared for, it will sweep you, no questions asked. From my experience with this team, I have to say that Yanmega has been a really fun Pokémon to play with just because it deals so much damage to everything. Needless to say, it's a shame it has to go to BL but it is for the best in my opinion. Anyways here are some accomplishments with the team: - 1622 CRE in the UU Ladder after a record of approximately of 25-1 - Reached the semifinals of New Grounds tournament - Has beat some big names in the UU ladder like Krack and Loki (but Dekzeh always beats me :P) Registeel @ Leftovers Ability: Clear Body EVs: 252 HP / 100 Atk / 156 SpD Careful Nature (+SpD, -SpA) - Iron Head - Earthquake - Ice Punch - Thunder Wave At first, I actually had TrickScarf Uxie in this slot, but after using it, I knew that I needed to replace it as I really needed a strong defensive tank to take Normal- and Flying-type attacks that could otherwise devastate my team. As such, I settled for Registeel because it checks a lot of the UU metagame and I knew it would serve as a great new addition to my team, and I have not regretted adding it since then. Anyways, I use Registeel as my main check to things like Roserade, Yanmega, Swellow, etc., basically stuff that could sweep me otherwise, although the lack of recovery does make it difficult to switch in repeatedly. It's specific role on the team is to check Pokémon and cripple non-Ground types when given the chance with Thunder Wave. The moves I chose to use serve specific purposes for my team. Iron Head is essentially your obligatory STAB, which allows me to hurt things like Mismagius which could otherwise wear me down with Hidden Power Fighting. Iron Head is also useful against other things that don't resist it, and I've been highly surprised by the amount of damage it can deal at times (Sometimes I even get lucky with flinchhax lol.) For the next slot, I chose Earthquake because I wanted Registeel to be able to hit other Steel-types for super effective. With a combination of Thunder Wave and Earthquake, Registeel has actually been able to beat Magneton one-on-one, although I can't guarantee that it will always turn out that way. Earthquake is also useful in getting rid of threats like Houndoom which think that they can switch in for free, only to get swiftly KO'd. For the next slot, Ice Punch it was. I wanted something which could hit Roserade a little harder, and I also needed a way to hit Altaria for super effective else it sweeps my team. Plus, Ice Punch can hit Torterra who are brave enough to set up Rock Polish on me, but TORTERRA IS A FREAKING ASS. For the last slot, I decided to go with Thunder Wave simply because I like slowing down stuff, particularly since my team is a little slower than most. Donphan has Stealth Rock anyways, so it hardly mattered what I used in that slot. I didn't choose Rest because it lets too much stuff set up on Registeel. The EVs are pretty self explanatory. I just copied it from the analysis. Nothing I really need to add. Team synergy isn't too hard to identify with a Pokémon like Registeel. Fire attacks are redirected to Milotic while Mismagius switches into Ground and fighting attacks with relative ease and proceed to burn users of the move with Will-O-Wisp. Other than that, very little troubles Registeel. Registeel helps Milotic out by beating Roserade 1-on-1 unless it's a SubSeeder (not that I've encountered one) while Registeel is a decent switch-in to Rotom, which I beat with Ice Punch if it's a SubCharge. Mismagius also appreciates Registeel switching into the Dark attacks possibly aimed at it. Donphan (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Sturdy EVs: 52 HP / 252 Atk / 204 Def - Rapid Spin - Earthquake - Assurance - Stealth Rock As stated before, Donphan is actually one of the key members of this team as the only reason this team exists is because I was testing Choice Band Donphan for the analysis write-up I was working on. Ironically, I was testing under an alt named "CBDonphanTest" and people still lost to this team (lol) so Donphan is definitely a cool Pokémon because it can't be stopped. Mainly though, I find Donphan to be a really neat Pokémon in the UU tier because it is a reliable spinner, user of Stealth Rock, and can actually beat most Ghost-types one-on-one by focusing on offensive stats instead of defensive, where you'll be forced to switch and take even more entry hazard damage the next time you switch in. I've mainly depend on Donphan to help my team take out threats like Drapion and Toxicroak which would otherwise have a field day with this team. Donphan is also great in weakening down the defensive behemoth that is Registeel. To be honest, even though Hitmontop is also a reliable spinner, I find Donphan to be irreplaceable on this team. The given set is pretty standard from what I've tested and it works the best for this team. Rapid Spin is an obvious crux which allows me to switch in Yanmega indefinitely provided I managed to spin away Stealth Rock successfully. Earthquake is a fantastic STAB move which allows me to deal with bulky Ghost-types like Spiritomb who expect to wall me, as it takes an average from 40%, even when running max / max. Earthquake will also force things like Milotic to use Recover, giving me a free switch to Roserade to set up another layer of Spikes. Assurance is a great move on this set as it allows me to dispatch Rotom and Mismagius, two Pokémon which absolutely love to switch in on Donphan. Assurance also does great against some Flying-types, but I often just switch to either Registeel or Milotic depending on which Flying-type switches in on me. Stealth Rock was needed somewhere on the team since I aim to force switches, so I figured Donphan would be suitable for the job. However, I have found it particularly difficult to find time in a match to switch in Donphan safely and set up Stealth Rock, due to the overcentralization of Water and Grass types in UU. The given EVs are essential in allowing Donphan to hit as hard as possible 52 HP and 204 Defense EVs allow me to take physical hits marginally better than by simply maxing out HP. Normally, I find Donphan to lure out Water-types, which is great because Roserade usually switches in for free and sets up another layer of Spikes. In turn, Donphan handily beats Poison-types that try to switch in on Roserade and set up. As stated before, my main concern has been that I have difficulty finding time to switch in Donphan repeatedly through a match, particularly against stall teams that use multiple phazers which quickly wear down Donphan. Other than that, Donphan's main objective is usually just to cover Yanmega's main weaknesses and allow it more chances to switch in and sweep. Yanmega (M) @ Choice Specs Ability: Tinted Lens EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature (+Spe, -Atk) - Air Slash - Bug Buzz - Ancientpower - U-turn Yanmega, key player on this team, very annoying Pokémon to face... and very fun to use as well. Since this team's purpose was to test possible teammates for Donphan, I figured that Yanmega would be able to fit this slot well, and so far it has not failed me except when it lost a speed tie a few times. With Choice Specs equipped along with a nice ability in Tinted Lens, Yanmega serves as a great way to rack up damage against the opposing team, especially with entry hazard damage taken into account. Yanmega also helps weaken down some of Mismagius's common switch-ins like Registeel and Honchkrow, although the former doesn't even stand a chance thanks to Spikes. Generally though, my favorite thing about Yanmega has been saving it until the late game and then sweeping the living hell out of the opponent. I chose the Choice Specs set over the Life Orb / Speed Boost sweeper for a few reasons. The first is that entry hazards are a great combination with the Tinted Lens ability because very few Pokemon in UU have a 4x resist to Bug so it isn't difficult to rack up damage over time. Note that this is made even easier thanks to Donphan's Spinning abilities. When using Yanmega, what I will usually do is start off the match by using Bug Buzz. More often that not, doing so will allow me to weaken the opponent while also learning more about that my opponent uses to counter Yanmega. Air Slash is an attack that I usually do not use because it is so much weaker than Bug Buzz and the accuracy is a bit of a turnoff (it can still miss), but it is a helpful move against Moltres and Grass-types like Roserade and Yanmega, but AncientPower takes care of the former. I've actually never had to use Ancientpower when using Yanmega, but the main reason I added it was to be able to take out Moltres which can otherwise be a pain, especially if it is running Toxic. Finally, U-turn allows me to scout when need be, although I hardly ever use it as well. EVs allow for maximum sweeping efficiency. I'll mainly use Yanmega as my primary switch-in to things like Roserade due to its 4x resist to Grass-type attacks which Milotic commonly lures out. I'll also use Yanmega to switch into Ground- and Fighting-type attacks possibly aimed at Registeel. Donphan is great at switching into the Rock- and Electric-type attacks aimed at 'Mega while Milotic takes most of the other special attacks. Milotic also takes care of most priority users like Honchkrow and Azumarill. Milotic (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Marvel Scale EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Surf - Hidden Power Grass - Recover - Haze Milotic has always been one of my favorite Pokémon in the UU tier, so I knew I wanted to use it in this team. Milotic has always proven to be a worthy defensive wall that can deal a good amount of damage in return when needed, so I knew it would be a good addition to this team. Mainly, I use Milotic to counter specific threats to my team such as Feraligatr, Azumarill, and other bulky Waters. Milotic is also my primary switch-ins into Fire-types and other physically inclined Pokémon that are unable to break through Milotic's defenses. I swear, this thing walls half the tier with little effort. I decided to go with the standard defensive set for a few reasons, which among them is that I needed a dedicated physical wall alongside Donphan to cover its weaknesses. While the Life Orb set does hit harder, I feel that it cannot take hits as well as this set and it's probably less durable as a whole. Surf is my main STAB move which takes full abuse of the 100 base Special Attack stat; it deals a great amount of damage to anything that does not resist. Hidden Power Grass is my sole option against opposing Water-types like Azumarill and other Milotic, which I can actually outstall most of the time or just switch straight to Roserade. Recover is essential in allowing Milotic to stay alive, and this team benefits more from Recover than Rest + Sleep Talk. Finally, Haze is a good move which allows me to beat stat uppers like Spiritomb and Feraligatr, which is useful if either is the last Pokémon remaining on the opponent's team. Milotic pairs best with Roserade on my team, as both cover each other's weaknesses nearly perfectly. Milotic tends to lure out Pokémon which Roserade can set up on with ease, such as Rotom and more defensive Grass-types. Milotic also deals with some things that can give Roserade trouble, such as Blaziken for example. Roserade (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Natural Care EVs: 252 HP / 240 SpD / 16 Spe Calm Nature (+SpD, -Atk) - Spikes - Energy Ball - Sludge Bomb - Synthesis Roserade is another Pokémon I had been itching to use in UU after hearing how good of a Spiker it was in the UU tier, so I tried it, and needless to say, it fit in perfectly. Spikes form the central core of my team, increasing residual damage and thus allowing Yanmega to sweep in the late game. Roserade is also my main response to opposing Grass-types whom I can beat with repeated Sludge Bombs while the rest of my team lures out Pokémon that Roserade can set up on. After using Roserade, I can surely say that it is an interesting Pokémon and should not be underestimated. The most important move in this set is obviously Spikes for a number of reasons. First, my team is great at taking hits repeatedly and forcing switches, so Spikes ensures that my opponents will be punished for doing so. Next, Yanmega's main counters, Registeel, Chansey, and Milotic, are grounded, so Spikes ensures that they cannot switch in repeatedly and expect to wall me. I get plenty of chances to set up Spikes with Roserade, as my team commonly lures out Milotic and other special sweepers that cannot get past Roserade, such as Rotom. Next, I wanted to run at least one attacking move, so I originally went with Sludge Bomb because of the higher Base Power and its ability to hit opposing Grass-types who may try to set up on me. Obviously, the next most important attack is Synthesis, which ensures that Roserade will remain healthy through the match, which in turn means more Spikes in the long run. Finally, I couldn't really think of anything else I wanted to run in the last slot, so I went with Energy Ball t abuse Roserade's other STAB. I didn't go with Aromatherapy because my team would be slowed down if I did, and obviously I cannot run Sleep Powder on this set. Roserade aims to compliment this team through type resistances. Roserade is used to switch into the Electric- and Grass-type attacks aimed at Milotic. In return, Milotic beats Fire-types which can give Roserade grief, such as Blaziken. Registeel thats care of most other Pokémon that try to switch into Roserade for free, like Swellow and Yanmega. Overall, there isn't much to say that I haven't said already. Mismagius (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 HP / 240 SpD / 16 Spe Calm Nature (+SpD, -Atk) - Shadow Ball - Pain Split - Will-O-Wisp - Taunt Although normally seen as a Calm Minder, my friends on IRC told me about what is commonly referred to as "JabbaMagius" since he came up with the basic idea for this set. After using it extensively, I have fallen it love with it. Not only is it durable, but it causes so much havoc to my opponent that it is integral in executing my strategy of entry hazards are best as possible. Mismagius is used on this team to beat Spinners which will try to spin away my Spikes, such as Donphan and Hitmontop. Thankfully though, none stand a chance against Mismagius because they are always destroyed. Mismagius is also my main answer to stall teams, as the only thing that even comes close to being an immediate problem is Drapion, which is really a huge pain in the ass to this team. However, my team is able to work around it somewhat provided my opponent hasn't set up entry hazards yet. I chose this set because it appears great at forcing switches, which is exactly what my team needed. Shadow Ball is your basic STAB, and I've been impressed by how much damage it deals to things like Azumarril and Roserade that have adequate defenses. Hell, I've been able to beat offensive Rotom and Mismagius one-on-one as well. Pain Split is essential as a recovery move, as Mismagius has no other way to restoring its HP. Pain Split also taked advantage of the fact that Normal types are the most troublesome to my team so I can usually nag a free Pain Split or two. Will-O-Wisp is an excellent move which allows Mismagius to not only tank Special hits but to also tank non super effective Physical hits as well. Will-O-Wisp has saved me in many scenarios by burning things like Drapion so they do not pose an immediate threat to me, but I tend to be predictable with it and my opponent will usually switch in Houndoom or Arcanine without no second though. Finally, Taunt is especially designed to give stall teams trouble. By Taunting the opponent, they will be unable to recover while entry hazards will keep wearing them down the more they switch, and if they don't, Will-O-Wisp or repeated Shadow Balls usually take out my opponent. Mismagius is an integral part of my tea due to the immunities and resistances it offers. As explained before, its most important duty is to block Rapid Spin. Apart from that, Mismagius is my main switch in to Normal-type attacks from things like Ambipom and Fighting and Ground type attacks if my opponent has Stealth Rock set up. The rest of my team also deals with Mismagius's weaknesses quite well. Registeel fulfills the job type-wise, taking care of Dark- and Ghost-types with its selection of moves. Milotic will also beat Arcanine and Houndoom most of the time if I play around them carefully. Threat List: *coming later once I find one to steal* Final Comments... Overall, I have to say that I have had a fun time using this team during the Yanmega testing, but that is precisely why I have decided to retire the team. Obviously, this team is also not meant for the current HGSS metagame with introduced threats like Swords Dance Feraligatr and Aggron which my team will currently have trouble dealing with. Through this team, I hope to have shown how balanced offense is a good playstyle in the UU metagame. Thanks for reading!

LeBron James complains about physical play after loss to Bulls
LeBron James is not used to losing. Why should he be? The Miami Heat had won 27 games in a row prior to Wednesday night's loss to the Chicago Bulls.
LeBron James is not used to losing. Why should he be? The Miami Heat had won 27 games in a row prior to Wednesday night's loss to the Chicago Bulls.
A year ago, Jeff Green had life-saving surgery in the city where he hit a game-winning shot for the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night.

Wimbledon Women's Final Suspended By Rain With Williams Leading
The Wimbledon women's final between four-time champion Serena Williams and Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska was suspended because of rain after the American won opening set 6-1.
The grounds crew came on shortly to cover the grass after Williams won the set on Centre Court at the All England Club in London. The sixth seed raced away with the set, leading 5-0 before the Pole held serve with an ace.
The 30-year-old American would be the oldest Wimbledon women's champion since Martina Navratilova won her ninth title at 33 in 1990.
Radwanska, the third seed, is in her first major final and is trying to become the first player from Poland to win a Grand Slam. The 23-year-old had been bothered by an upper respiratory infection, which forced her to drop out of the doubles competition.

Who is affected by TMJ disorders (TMD)? What are the causes, symptoms, and treatments? How are they diagnosed? Find answers to all your TMD questions.
Welcome to The TMJ Association!
We're glad you're here. You're not alone.
The TMJ Association, Ltd. (TMJA) is a nonprofit, patient advocacy organization whose mission is to improve the quality of health care and lives of everyone affected by Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD). For over 25 years we have shared reliable information on TMD with people like you and invite you to read our website.
Terrie Cowley - President and Co-Founder
Think You May Have Temporomandibular Disorders?
1) FIRST, try eating soft foods, using ice packs, and avoiding extreme jaw movements, like yawning and gum chewing. Short-term use of over-the-counter or prescription pain medicines may also provide relief.
2) AVOID treatments that cause permanent changes in the bite or jaw. This includes crown work, bridge work or orthodontics to change the bite, grinding down teeth (bite adjustment), or repositioning splints.
3) AVOID surgical treatment, where possible. There have been no long-term studies to test the safety and effectiveness of these procedures.
The TMJ Association is the only organization fighting for the best science that will lead to a greater understanding of Temporomandibular Disorders and safe and effective treatments. As a nonprofit, 501(c)3 patient advocacy organization, we rely solely on the generous donations from people like you to fund vital TMD research and awareness efforts. Make a tax-deductible contribution today! For additional ways you can help, click here.
If you purchase items from Amazon, YOU can help raise money for The TMJ Association with every purchase. Amazon will donate 0.5% of the price of your eligible AmazonSmile purchases to The TMJ Association. It's like regular Amazon but with the wonderful opportunity to help raise money for your TMJA. Click here to get started. Happy shopping!
Katherine's StoryI was diagnosed with TMD over 15 years ago. I was only in the 8th grade and really didn't know what was going on, except that my jaw sometimes locked open and popped or cracked if I chewed gum for a long time. There wasn't a lot of pain. The pain didn't start to get bad until I was in graduate school in 2007. Maybe it was the stress of grad school that exacerbated the symptoms or maybe it was just a coincidence; I'll never know.
This is my story.
Read a selection of touching stories submitted by those experiencing TMD – learn how others cope with issues many patients face.
What are the TMJA science meetings all about? We've held seven such meetings to date and issued a TMJ Science journal for each.

Add Snow to the Rooftops
Adding snow to the rooftops
With the foothills adjusted, now it's time to winterize the chalet. Let's push in on it, and you can see the chalet has a tiled roof we want to cover with snow. I'm going to create a new layer and call it Rooftop. Choosing my Lasso tool by pressing M on the keyboard, I'm going to marquee around where snow would be on the roof. The snow should have some dimension so it should go above the top of the roof. Now I'm going to fill the selection with white, then I'm going to choose the Brush tool, or press the B key, and deselect that area, make the brush smaller, and I'm just going to paint where the snow would fall on this rooftop.
I want to add some dimensionality to the snow by indicating an edge of shadow, so I'm going to grab a shadow color from down here in the snow and this will show where the edge of the snow would be on the roof. And same here: I want to indicate that underside shadow for the snow. My palette is set up for this project, so I'm gen...

I didn't go to Mexico to act like a big ol' slut. I went to Mexico to drink underage and make bad decisions — and I'm sure I don't have to explain where overlap might exist.
First, let me give my 17-year-old self credit where it's due: Not all the decisions I made were bad. For instance, one of the members of my high school she-posse got a belly button piercing in a less-than-sterile-looking tattoo parlor near the outdoor market, a body embellishment that rapidly became a festering, infected bubble o' puss. I did not do that, so that was smart. I also decided to sleep in the day the group went on a Jet Ski excursion during which one of my girlfriends sustained an injury so freakish — it involved the unhappy introduction of the "jet" of water to her most delicate orifice — and so severe she had to undergo surgery and more than one blood transfusion. Oh, and, at one point, I averted arrest by proving to a police officer that I hadn't, in fact, expelled the contents of my bladder onto a sidewalk; the spot where he'd seen me hike up my skirt and squat like a feral animal was still dry. I should clarify that it wasn't the threat of arrest or an aversion to public indecency that made me decide against peeing at that moment: It had simply dawned on me that it would splash against the hard surface and get all over my feet.
It was the summer after my high school graduation, and 30 or so members of Flagler Palm Coast High School's class of 2000 boarded a plane bound for Mexico's west coast. Already seated were just as many graduates of a high school about an hour away from ours, which meant one thing to a teenage girl: new boys. Boys we hadn't known since they were falsetto-voiced elementary schoolers. Boys whose disgusting morning breath we'd never had to inhale during first period. Boys we might never see again.
It didn't take long for my group of ladyfriends to befriend a group of these new guys. There were two in particular who really took a shine to me — I'll call them Dawson and Pacey — and a couple of other girls and I were always sneaking over to their hotel room to drink beer or play cards. Now, these organized senior trips are a package deal, so our food and entertainment were included in the original price, as were the nightly "parties" thrown on our behalf at touristy shitholes known for serving weak, saccharine drinks in those plastic yard glasses. Usually the shitholes were conveniently located within walking distance, but one night the party was just far enough away that we all decided to take taxis.
I arrived at the party with several of my girlfriends, but when it was time to head back to the hotel, I ended up in a cab with Dawson and Pacey — Pacey up front with the driver, me and Dawson in the backseat. It took about a nanosecond, maybe two, for Dawson's hand to find its way to my thigh. Then my hand was on his hand. Then I was smashing my face into his face with the kind of unbridled vigor that you can only drum up after six or seven beers from a cheap keg. All the while, Pacey sat in silence, pretending he didn't know what was going on behind him.
Later that summer, back on American soil and, perhaps, more clear-headed, I decided that I actually preferred Pacey to Dawson and ultimately ended up sleeping with him at some point during my freshman year of college. None of this sounds terribly tawdry, does it? I guess the only thing that makes it salacious is that I had a boyfriend the entire time. He should have kept a closer eye on me in Mexico.

From Publishers Weekly
Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc.
From School Library Journal
Gr 5-8 The Nebraska prairie was a barren place that offered beauty and peace to some, loneliness and madness to others. Prairie Songs provides a beautifully written insight into this contrast. Louisa and her shy brother Lester live quite contentedly with their parents when the new doctor arrives with his beautiful and fragile pregnant wife, Emmeline. All work to help the new couple adjust to harsh weather, buffalo chips, soddies and Indians; Emmeline agrees to teach the children some reading. After a terrible fright, she goes into premature labor; her baby is stillborn, and Emmeline is reduced to madness. The children notice Emmeline's loneliness and growing madness with sadness, but they accept prairie life for what it is. Conrad artfully deals with all the harsh facts in this fast-paced novel which leaves readers with a real feeling for the difficulties of pioneer life. Children may well appreciate modern medicine and communication, not to mention suburbia, after reading this poignant story. Dorcas Hand, Episcopal High School, Bellaire, Tex.

EC tightening of carbon spot market could threaten forward market
The European Commission looks set to tighten carbon market regulation in an effort to boost its tarnished reputation, but market participants say current proposals could pose risks to forward market trading. EC proposals include a potential 48-hour delivery delay to spot transactions to allow for stronger checks on identity and balances for registry account holders.

Author: Noriko AkiyamaSource: The Asahi ShimbunRead The Full Story Here In rescuing an estimated 85,000 victims of trafficking, slavery and child labor, Indian children's rights activist Kailash Satyarthi has risked his life and been severely beaten. Satyarthi, who was jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 with Malala Yousafzai from Pakistan for their fight against the exploitation of children, isn't afraid to put his life on the line. "I prefer to die lying on the ground for a worthy cause instead of dying in bed," said Satyarthi, 62. "We all die sooner or later. The greater the peril, the greater the gain." Traveling throughout the world for about two-thirds of the year, Satyarthi came to Japan in May at the invitation of the nongovernmental organization Action against Child Exploitation (ACE), which seeks the abolition and prevention of child labor. Countless desperate parents have sought the help of Satyarthi, who has helped transform the problem of chil (...)

It's been days for thousands of folks without power in Bucks, Montgomery and Chester counties. As of early Saturday evening, nearly 100,000 customers in these three counties were without power, according to PECO's website.
"We're just trying to stay warm," explained Jason Wood of Doylestown. "We're trying to stay busy during the days, keep the fire going."
But it's a battle Wood and his wife aren't winning. They're bundling up with blankets, even trying to section off parts of the house to keep the heat in.
"We can now see our breath a little bit more so we're probably somewhere between 43 and 45 degrees depending on which room in the house you're in," Wood said.
The Woods aren't alone. Power was knocked out to the entire Clemens Farm neighborhood in Doylestown Borough.
"Power went out Wednesday morning around 7 a.m.," shared Kel Bucey.
Folks say they're frustrated PECO keeps changing estimates about when the power will be restored. Some are now relying on generators.
"We have heat now so it's back up in the 60s," added Bucey. "We have lights at night and we also have the refrigerator on, but other than that there is nothing else, just got the basics."
When the ice storm hit 90 percent of the borough lost power. Crews have cut that number down, but still a third of the residents are in the dark. Local leaders say this is not the time to take any chances.
"The chief concern is just safety," Doylestown Borough Council President Det Ansinn said. "People presume they can kind of ride this out in their homes, but it is so cold that they should certainly seek out friends, family."
In nearby Doylestown Township, it's much of the same. Massive trees took out numerous power lines, coming dangerously close to houses.
"It sounded like an explosion," described Mark Ashby. "I just looked up and then I saw sparks of electrical wires flying and then the tree coming right toward our house, but the back of the tree where it snapped caught onto the wires and it flipped it back away from our house."
Power outages continue for days in Southeastern Pa.

D.A.R.E. to Snitch on Your Parents and Get Taken by Social ServicesChris | InformationLiberation

Steve King Doubles Down: Idea Every Culture is Equal "Not Objectively True"
Welcome to Soviet America, where instead of learning math and science, schoolchildren are taught by police to snitch on their parents for non-crimes like smoking marijuana.
An elementary school student, taking part in the government's "D.A.R.E." program, brought some of his parents marijuana to school after he was taught in said D.A.R.E. program to rat on his parents to police.
Instead of the media squawking about the insanity of teaching children at school to turn in their parents, the media celebrates it and hails the wonder and bravery of the government's new soviet snitch.
Does the child realize his parents could be going away for a long time thanks to the nice men in uniform? Does he realize he just turned them in for consuming one of the most harmless drugs on the planet?
Of course not, but that's all irrelevant to our soviet regime, children must be taught they are wards of the state and their role in life is to snitch on their own parents if they're doing something for which the government does not approve.

A few weeks ago on WTF, D&D!? we looked at the current edition of one of the most popular tabletop games of all time: Warhammer 40,000. This week we revisit 40K for a trip down memory lane, all the way back to 1987. Warhammer was new and adventurous and Games Workshop didn't know quite what they were doing or what sort of things to include in their new game. The result was Rogue Trader, one of the most schizophrenic and fascinating gaming books of all time.
Zack: Just seeing that perfectly horizontal Ork head clutched in the crimson fist makes me all tingly inside.
Steve: Yo, there is nothing not sweet as heck about that cover. I agree bro. Even the tiny dude holding the flag is ready for some grim and dark things to transpire.
Zack: Rogue Trader was pre-grim darkness.
Steve: There is more than war?
Zack: As I think we'll see there was a lot more than war back in the Rogue Trader days. Lots of alternative activities and discussions going on.Steve: War is pretty awesome, but there are lots of other things. Like snacks or a hot blond unzipping her wetsuit over a couple of giant boobs and they sorta pop apart when she unzips and you can see some water in her cleavage.
Zack: It's hard to represent hot boobs on a tabletop.
Steve: No way, dude, hot boobs are a tabletop tradition. I have a shelf of dusty succubuses (succubae?) to prove you wrong.
Zack: In Warhammer the closest thing to a succubus is crossed with a lobster. And they have a minotaur thing with one boob, but that doesn't really count.
Steve: No it totally does. I'll take it. I will take that boob.
Zack: Any teet in a storm?
Steve: Any hooter on an ork.
The good news is the republican convention is over. The bad news is if I can escape this police car how do I anull a marriage??

A few friends used to help him; Sartre got him a room at the Hotel des Saints-Peres; the man who ran it complained that they would find him asleep in the corridors during the night and that he would bring friends home at five in the morning. One day I was having a drink with him on the terrace of the Rhumerie Martiniquaise; he was shabby, unshaven and looked like a tramp. A very well-dressed gentleman, very severe-looking and evidently wealthy, came over and spoke one or two words to him. When he had gone Wols turned to me.

Force for good
Q. Last month someone asked about the routes into forensic science. Is it as difficult to get a job as a police negotiator, or are there some general courses I could apply for which would help me into this career?
This is such a specialised job that openings in the UK will be rare and, where they exist at all, highly competitive. That is because few police forces can afford to employ full-time negotiating specialists. The career is more common in the USA, where you might find more openings and opportunities for training, but getting a position is still likely to be very competitive.
An undergraduate background in psychology, sociology or counselling should stand you in good stead. Careers in counselling psychology, for example, require a first degree recognised for Graduate Basis Registration of the British Psychological Society (BPS). However, even if you have little or no experience of the subject, don't fret: plenty of universities offer postgraduate conversion courses aimed at students who have become interested in the subject after their first degree. Visit the careers section of the BPS website at www.bps.org.uk for more details and lists of accredited courses.
A general qualification such as this will not be enough to get you in: you will also need to be a trained police officer with experience of dealing with such situations. Academic study is an increasingly important part of modern policing, and training options can even include fields such as psychology. It depends which local force you join, but many offer specialist training for various roles including hostage negotiating.
If you are keen enough and don't mind the stressful nature of the job, you could try to rise through the ranks as a specialist in this area – but don't be surprised if you have to do your fair share of regular policing to get there.
Contact your local force for details of recruitment and the types of training that they could offer, or visit the police recruitment website at www.police-recruitment.com.
Arabic ambition
Q. At the moment I only speak English but I'd like to learn Arabic, preferably in a country where it's the native language. Do you know of any good overseas Arabic language courses? Or would I be better off studying in the UK?
If this is to be your first venture into a foreign language, it's hardly the easiest choice. If your main reasons for learning Arabic are social, cultural or recreational, then you don't need a formal qualification: you'll probably find that there are suitable courses at your local university in the extra-mural department, which might also incorporate other aspects of arts and culture that will also interest you.
However, if you need to learn Arabic as a way into a future career, then the support of a recognised qualification will add credibility to your CV. Learn Direct (www.learndirect-advice.co.uk) lists a number of courses across the UK in all modes of study. If you have your heart set on learning Arabic in a foreign country – usually the best way to become fluent in any language – then an internet search will throw up a plethora of companies keen to accept you. The biggest is probably Language Courses Abroad (www.languagesabroad.co.uk), which offers intensive Arabic tuition at its school in Cairo.
Although it's very difficult to gauge the quality of the teaching, it's a good sign if they offer an internationally recognised syllabus or qualification and are willing to tell you the results that they have achieved. Do some careful research, ask questions and try to talk to ex-students: personal recommendation is probably the most reliable way of assessing the quality of these courses.

Around 90 migrants on Friday ended a days-long hunger strike they had staged at Serbia's border with Hungary in a bid to be allowed to continue their journey across the closed frontier, the UN refuge agency said.
The migrants, mostly young men from Afghanistan and Pakistan, arrived at the Horgos crossing at the weekend to protest against the closure of Hungary's border and tough new measures introduced this month to tighten security.

However, UNHCR continues to receive a significant number of new requests from asylum seekers asking for UNHCR's protection and assistance. The majority of these asylum seekers are not recent arrivals in Syria but have rather been present here for a number of years and are now seeking protection and/or assistance due to the continuing deterioration of the security situation in Syria.

Will GTA 5 for PS4, PC and Xbox One release November 7th?
Retailer GameSeek has pegged the release of GTA V for PS4, PC and Xbox One as November 7th.
That's a week earlier than previously rumoured, although neither dates are official as Rockstar has yet to go on record with a proper date.
The next-gen version of Grand Theft Auto V was announced last month by Sony at E3.
November is a busy month for games releases. A November 7th release would put it right up against the release of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

This poster presents the workflow and results from transitioning from a comprehensive quantitation of a sample from SWATH acquisition to quantitation of a subset of targets using MRM analysis. Targeted quantification is often desired to obtain accurate quantification in complex mixtures. MRM (Multiple Reaction Monitoring) is the most dominant workflow for performing this type of analysis, providing high sensitivity and selectivity. MS/MSALL with SWATH™ Acquisition brings together data independent acquisition for comprehensive data generation and targeted quantification for the high quality quantitative data.

When anyone clicks on the listen button its background changes into the stop listening and vice versa. This is the functionality I wanted and I got it using jQuery.
What I also want now is the text to change too accordingly. Like, when someone clicks on the "listen" anchor, its text should change to "stop listening", and the same for the stop listening anchor. Like a toggle anchor.
Thanks for the help ! Really appreciate it... :)
