Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? And will it be beneficial to all concerned?
This is the Four-Way Test Rotary International asks members to use when considering what to say or do.
Because this is going to be a bit of a Rotary month, as I catch up with the three clubs in Durango, it seemed like a good way to start, exploring what Rotary is, and what the Rotary Club of Durango, High Noon and Durango Daybreak Rotary clubs do for our community.
Todays column focuses on the Rotary Club of Durango, or the Tuesday Night Club, which is the granddaddy of them all, founded in 1929 with a charter presented by the founder of Rotary himself, Paul Harris.
The club held its changeover party, thanking the outgoing and welcoming the incoming president on Tuesday night. The event was held at the Wagon Wheel Ranch, Rod and Laurie Barkers property on County Road 204, northwest of Durango. Rod Barker is a second generation member of the club.
The event has a lot of traditions, as one might expect from a club that is 83 years old.
Guests arrive to libations as the only club that meets at night, members can relax a little more than their fellow Rotarians who have to return to work. Dinner was catered by Strater 1887 Catering and featured salad, broccoli and roasted potatoes with entrées of grilled steak and grilled salmon with beurre blanc sauce. Dinner was a scrumptious peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream.
All year long, the sergeant-at-arms collects Happy Dollars and fines for tardiness and failing to wear ones badge. Oh, and getting ones name in the Herald. A lot of you better start getting out your wallets.
At the changeover, they collect one last round of money and then auction off the whole pot for a donation to the Rotary Foundation. Thanks to the able auctioneering of Mark Horn and his cohort in crime, Jeff Speicher, they raised more than $2,000 from the auction of the pot.
The real business of the evening is looking back on the last year and forward to the next. Outgoing President Randy Smith had a lot to talk about, but since he doesnt like speechifying, he kept it pretty simple.
The club, which has 38 members, was proud to be the home club of the 2011-12 district governor, Roger Ptolemy. Part of being the home club meant helping put on this years District Assembly, which was held at the Sky Ute Casino and Resort last fall. (The other La Plata County clubs pitched in, too.)
The group held Christmas party complete with gifts at the Durango Community Shelter, held a blood drive, gave matching grants to the Medicine Horse Program and Southwest SmileMakers and participated with the other clubs in buying dictionaries for all the third-graders in the county.
Smiths final duty as president was to select the clubs Rotarian of the Year. Lynsey Powell, is a relatively new member, but that hasnt stopped her from jumping in with both feet to work on the clubs various projects. She was a fine choice.
This is the point where I insert the disclaimer. My father, Charlie Butler, was a member of the club for more than 30 years, and its the Rotary Club I knew growing up. When I was hired to write Neighbors, I was asked what my plans were for the column.
Cover service clubs and nonprofits, because theyre not getting enough credit, was my answer. I havent always done a good job on the service-club front, so Im playing catch-up.
My dad started the Youth Exchange Program in 1969, before he even joined the club, so it was lovely to see the clubs exchange student this year, Cheng-Lin Yu of Taiwan, choking up as he looked back on the year of adventure, learning and making friends.
In Taiwan, he goes to school until 9 p.m., so the whole concept of sitting down to dinner with the family and having time to talk was a custom he grew to love. The clean air, the slower pace of life and the fact that students in school had opinions, asked questions and just didnt sit and listen as children in his home country do were all surprises. But his single best experience? The first time he went to Serious Texas Bar-B-Q. Now, theres an endorsement!
While in Durango, he lived with the family of Scott and CeCe Sallee and Kip and Laura Stransky, who have hosted eight students in eight years and have been wonderful ambassadors for Durango and the U.S.
New President Lynn Westberg will use the results of a recent strategic planning session when it comes to making decisions and plans next year, and its clear she isnt going to be afraid to shake things up a bit.
Horn and Speicher also auctioned the leftover liquor to pay the bar bill, but Horn slightly, OK, significantly, underestimated how much wine was left in one bottle, and bidding winner Terry Swan will never let him forget it. I foresee a big fine for Horn to kick off the next annual pot.
The club meets at 6 p.m. Tuesday nights in the Pullman Room of the Strater Hotel.
Hoping for some precipitation for their birthdays are Carol Salomon, Wilbur Rossmiller, Sylvia Kehle, Kay Cooley, Nicholas Dudley, Ryan Ehrig, Lia Neergaard, Ann Duft, JiggerStaby, Karyn Gabaldon (happy 30 years with the gallery), Janet Williams, StewartLeach, Jay Hurtado, Dylan Baken, Pauline Ellis, Allison Betts, Danette Jenkins, Crystal Willmett, Paul Beauregard, Chris Scott, David Jackson, Nancy Brown, Vicky Moreno, Katie Hotter, Yvonne Portell, Amber Lashmett Levine, Jack Morrison, Clay Siekman, Sharon Watkins, Arnold Trujillo, Ron Anderson, Paul Mills and Jodie House.
Happy belated birthday wishes go to Chapter CS of P.E.O., which celebrated its 75th anniversary May 26. It was organized May 25, 1937, which may make it the second oldest womens club in town after the Reading Club of Durango. (Some investigation may be required.)
Members have raised money all these years to provide educational opportunities for women.
They gathered at the Kennebec Café in Hesperus and enjoyed white-chocolate and lemon-mousse cake. Musical hits from the 30s provided a soft soundtrack to the gathering.
P.E.O. sisters brought items of interest from the time period and explained the items significance in their families. Tables were decorated with antique dishes and toys from the decade.
Duane Smith was the guest speaker and entertained the ladies with a slide show on life in Durango and around the world in the 1930s. Talk about a thorn among the roses! (Sorry, Duane, I couldnt resist.)
Marguerites, a flower similar to the daisy, and stars adorned the dessert table, and guests went home with marguerite flowers preserved in glass and made into magnets as a remembrance of the day.
The festivities ended with a quote: Reach high for stars that lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.
Many congratulations to Chapter CS for 75 years of philanthropy, and my thanks to AnitaWigton and Glennie Ritchie for serving as the correspondents on this item.
Looking for some shade to celebrate their anniversaries are Warren and Ruth Phillips, Ed and Phyllis Tucker, Jeff and Erica Max (28!), Jim and Marjorie Appel, David and JeannieBennett, Kip and Nellie Boyd, Trent and Gisele Pansze, Bob and Donnis Lawrence, Steve and Beth Scales, Darrell and Diane Trembly, Darren and Tonya Wales and Randy and Kathy Black.
The Durango Discovery Museums annual bash Daddy Fest is rocking downtown today from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in front of Carver Brewing Co.
Whether or not you are celebrating with your dad, a beautiful day with live music, beer, fun and hey, miniature golf, cannot be beaten.
The museum relies on the community to keep the doors open. Come down, grab a Carvers brew and enjoy.
I have begun including information about how to submit photos for consideration for Neighbors in my sign-off. Newsprint is a notoriously unforgiving medium for printing, so we need to start with a high-quality photo. Ive pushed the envelope in recent months on quality, but I want my column and your stories to look their best, so Im lowering the boom. Its better to run without a photo than with a bad one.
Heres how to reach me: firstname.lastname@example.com; phone 375-4584; mail items to the Herald; or drop them off at the front desk. Please include contact names and phone numbers for all items.
I am happy to consider photos for Neighbors, but they must be high quality, high resolution photos (at least 1 MB of memory), include no more than three to five people, and I must know whos whom, left to right, and whom to credit with the photo. Candid photos are better than posed, and they should be sent as an attachment.

Rays set for another Patriots' Day in Boston
By Bill Chastain / MLB.com
BOSTON -- On Monday, the Rays will make their second consecutive Patriots' Day appearance at Fenway Park, which will be their third in the last four years and fourth overall.
The Rays' 3-0 record is the best among visitors. Kansas City is the only other team that is undefeated on Patriots' Day (1-0).
Last season, James Shields and Fernando Rodney combined on a 1-0, four-hit win in the contest that traditionally has had an 11:05 a.m. ET start. In 2010, Jeff Niemann defeated John Lackey, 8-2, and in 1999, Rolando Arrojo defeated Bret Saberhagen, 4-1.
The Rays have allowed only three runs in 27 innings and held the Red Sox to a .167 average on Patriots' Day.
Jeremy Hellickson will start for the Rays on Monday, and the right-hander is a notoriously late sleeper. In preparation for the start, he said he planned on going to bed earlier than usual on Sunday night.
"I don't know what else I can do," Hellickson said. "I think Spring Training and these last few days probably helped a little bit. Luckily I'm still kind of on the Spring Training schedule. But it's going to be early."
Hellickson noted that he normally gets up about the time he'll be going to the mound on Monday morning.
"Everybody says it looks like I'm sleeping out there anyway," Hellickson said with a chuckle.
Hellickson plans on getting up at 7 a.m. on Monday and getting to the ballpark by 8. When asked who has the advantage in a morning contest, the hitters or the pitchers, Hellickson shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know," Hellickson said. "I think we're both going to be pretty tired out there. Hopefully there's some shadows creeping around."
Rays working to create more offense
BOSTON -- Entering Sunday's contest, the Rays were 1-3 on the current road trip despite pitching to a 2.88 ERA. At the other end of the spectrum, the offense has hit just .169 in its last five games, with eight runs scored, no home runs and only six extra-base hits. Tampa Bay has been outscored, 26-8, and is 3-for-36 with runners in scoring position, including no hits in its last 17 at-bats with runners in scoring position.
"We have to really start to become unselfish," Evan Longoria said. "Even if it's the 2-3-4 guys in the lineup, if we're not producing runs, if you're not up there swinging the bat hot, hitting the ball out of the ballpark or driving the ball in the gap and producing runs that way, then it might be time to start thinking about doing the little things that we've done to be successful -- just moving the guy, trying to make a conscious effort to hit the ball the other way or lay down a bunt, whatever it is.
"We've talked about from the beginning how we're not a team that can rely on a three-run home run every night. Again, look at the score [in Saturday's 2-1 loss]. One run would have been the difference in the game in the ninth inning."
Joe Maddon has experienced having a lackluster offense in the past, so the Rays manager was asked if he would try to do anything to help kickstart the offense into gear.
"You'd like to do different things," Maddon said. "Like we do run on the bases, we do run and hit-and-run moments. We had so few baserunners [Saturday], you have to have enough baserunners and you have to have the right runners and the right hitters to try different things -- guys who are going to make contact. And the pitcher has to cooperate by being a strike thrower. There's different things you can do to try and encourage movement, but you have to have people out there to create movement with."
Given the current offensive tailspin, Maddon pointed to the obvious as the heart of the problem.
"When you're 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position, that's really the true tale," Maddon said. "It goes beyond everything else."
Extra bases
• Tampa Bay pitcher Brandon Gomes faced former Ray Jonny Gomes in Saturday's game, making for the third encounter between the pair. Jonny walked Saturday, giving him a 0-for-0 line against Brandon, who hit Jonny and walked him in their previous two meetings.
• The Boston Marathon will be run on Monday morning, and the general feeling inside the Rays' clubhouse was that nobody on the team could run a marathon. However, several players noted that former Rays right-hander Wade Davis probably could have.
• The Rays will wear No. 42 during their games on Monday and Tuesday to celebrate Jackie Robinson Day, April 15. The Rays have worn No. 42 each year since 2008, and have gone 1-3 with one suspended game while wearing the No. 42s.
• With six innings pitched and one earned run in Saturday's no-decision, David Price has ascended where no lefty has gone in Fenway Park since 1921. Price lowered his career ERA at Fenway to 2.13. In doing so, he surpassed Washington Senators southpaw Bobby Burke's 2.19 ERA as the lowest against the Red Sox at Fenway Park.

Section V. Application Review Information
Section VI. Award Administration Information
Section VII. Agency Contacts
Section VIII. Other Information
1) Purpose
The NIDCR recognizes that behavioral and social factors play a role in many oral and craniofacial disorders and conditions, and that behavioral and social interventions can improve these conditions. The NIDCR is committed to supporting the development and testing of behavioral and social interventions to improve oral health, and to supporting careful planning for these intervention studies. The purpose of this NIDCR BEHAVIORAL OR SOCIAL INTERVENTION PLANNING AND PILOT DATA GRANT (R34) is to provide support for planning a well-designed, rigorously-conducted behavioral or social intervention study relevant to oral, dental or craniofacial health.
This R34 grant mechanism is intended to provide support for the development of a comprehensive clinical trial protocol (i.e., for this FOA, a behavioral or social intervention manual and study protocol), associated documents, and collection of pilot data. The behavioral or social intervention manual is a document that describes in detail the content and delivery of the intervention. The study protocol is a document that describes in detail how the study will be conducted (please see the NIDCR website for templates of minimal risk and more-than-minimal risk protocols: http://www.nidcr.nih.gov/ClinicalTrials/ToolkitClinicalResearchers/ClinicalTrialsProtocolTemplate/. For studies involving human subjects, other required associated documents include an IRB application and participant consent or assent forms (to be submitted before the full-scale trial is implemented); a detailed data and safety monitoring plan; and letters of agreement from clinic sites or other collaborators (where applicable). The behavioral or social intervention manual, complete study protocol and these other associated documents are required components of any subsequent clinical trial implementation (U01) application. The NIDCR expects that receipt of an R34 planning grant will lead to the timely submission of an application for U01 grant support to conduct a study of the behavioral or social intervention, incorporating the elements developed under the planning grant. However, prospective applicants should note that funding of a R34 planning grant does not guarantee or imply funding for a subsequent clinical intervention implementation application. For NIDCR policies and procedures for the acceptance, peer review, and funding of investigator-initiated clinical trials, see NOT-DE-08-002 New NIDCR Policy: Investigator-Initiated Clinical Trials https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-DE-08-002.html. )
2) Distinctions between this announcement and the standard
Features that distinguish this NIDCR BEHAVIORAL OR SOCIAL INTERVENTION PLANNING AND PILOT DATA GRANT (R34) announcement from the standard NIDCR CLINICAL TRIAL PLANNING GRANT (R34) (PAR-08-195) are the focus on behavioral or social interventions, the allowable project length and budget, the waiving of the requirement for prior approval, and the allowed support of primary pilot data collection.
This FOA announcement solicits applications to plan for behavioral or social intervention trials that address oral, dental or craniofacial diseases or conditions. Applicants wishing to plan for clinical trials that are not behavioral or social in nature (e.g., those testing dental or medical procedures, dental materials, pharmacological treatments for oral conditions, etc.) should respond to the standard R34 NIDCR CLINICAL TRIAL PLANNING GRANT (R34) ANNOUNCEMENT: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-08-195.html.
This R34 NIDCR BEHAVIORAL OR SOCIAL INTERVENTION PLANNING GRANT is a unique NIDCR program. It differs from the standard R34 NIDCR CLINICAL TRIAL PLANNING GRANT because it supports collection of specific kinds of pilot data needed for launching a successful behavioral or social intervention trial. Depending on the nature of the intervention to be tested, this R34 planning grant allows for the collection of pilot data that establishes the theoretical rationale for the intervention; ensures the acceptability and/or feasibility of the intervention for the target population; prepares for a full-scale test of the mediators, moderators and/or mechanisms of action of the intervention (i.e., why and for whom the intervention works); and tests the sustainability of the intervention in the setting(s) in which the intervention is meant to be implemented.
3) Types of primary pilot data collection supported via this R34 announcement
In cases where pilot data are not already available, planning projects submitted to this R34 announcement should incorporate pilot testing related to the theoretical rationale of the intervention; the acceptability and feasibility of the intervention; the monitoring of fidelity in the intervention study; the incorporation of tests of mediators, moderators and/or mechanisms of action of the intervention; and where applicable, sustainability of the intervention.
4) Overview of the NIDCR Policy for Investigator-Initiated Clinical Trials and Requirements of this R34 Behavioral or Social Intervention Planning and Pilot Data Grant
As announced in NOT-DE-08-002, the NIDCR will support investigator-initiated clinical trials through a two-part award process: (1) a planning grant (R34) followed by (2) a clinical trial implementation cooperative agreement (U01) award.
A funded NIDCR BEHAVIORAL OR SOCIAL INTERVENTION PLANNING AND PILOT DATA GRANT (R34) would fulfill the R34 component of the two-part process. The companion FOA, NIDCR CLINICAL TRIAL IMPLEMENTATION COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT (U01), PAR-08-196 (https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-08-196.html) describes the clinical trial implementation requirements for a subsequent investigator initiated clinical trial cooperative agreement application.
For this FOA, the NIDCR will support behavioral or social intervention planning grants (R34) for comprehensive planning, design and documentation of interventional behavioral or social studies, including studies developing new interventions (i.e., Stage I research), studies testing established interventions (i.e., Stage II research), studies testing adaptations of interventions to be "community-friendly" (i.e., Stage III research), and studies testing the implementation of established interventions in community settings (sometimes referred to as Stage IV research).
A clinical trial is defined by NIH as a prospective biomedical or behavioral research study of human subjects that is designed to answer specific questions about biomedical or behavioral interventions (drugs, treatments, devices, or new ways of using known drugs, treatments, or devices). Clinical trials are used to determine whether biomedical, behavioral or social interventions are safe, feasible, acceptable, efficacious, and effective. Clinical research involving an intervention to modify individual, family or group behavior (e.g., oral hygiene, nutrition, tobacco or drug use, family functioning, stress and coping, pain or chronic disease management, care-seeking behavior, etc.), or care provider behavior (e.g., provider-patient communication, behavioral screening practices, provider referral behavior, etc.) fits this definition of a clinical trial.
Studies developing approaches to train or educate dental, dental hygiene or other students in behavioral or social interventions are not considered clinical trials. These studies are of interest to the NIDCR, but are not responsive to this FOA. Applications for these type of studies may be submitted through the regular R03, R21 or R01 NIH omnibus announcements.
The NIDCR will accept, peer review, and consider for funding applications for Clinical Trial Implementation Cooperative Agreements (U01) from R34 awardees only, unless an exception is granted by the Institute. The material in the implementation grant application must be sufficient to allow the applicant to initiate the study in a manner that meets the highest standards of rigorous clinical research. An important element of rigorous clinical research is the development of a protocol that guides the conduct of the intervention trial. Templates of protocols for minimal risk and more than minimal risk intervention studies are available at the NIDCR website: http://www.nidcr.nih.gov/ClinicalTrials/ToolkitClinicalResearchers/ClinicalTrialsProtocolTemplate/. For guidance about whether a study is minimal risk or more than minimal risk, please contact NIDCR staff listed in this announcement.
This R34 behavioral or social intervention planning grant is designed to:
The main activities supported by the R34 include, but are not limited to, the following:
Development of a study protocol, which includes the following basic elements:
Development of an intervention manual with sufficient detail is necessary to guide the systematic delivery of the behavioral or social intervention. The manual should be based on a strong rationale or theory of the problem, and of how the intervention is intended to address the problem.
Note: external members of a proposed Data and Safety Monitoring Board, Safety Monitoring Committee and/or individuals involved in an Independent Scientific Monitoring plan must not be contacted or named in the application. Only the scientific areas required to provide the necessary expertise on these advisory/monitoring boards is required. External members are individuals not listed as PD/PI and senior/key personnel in the application.
For behavioral and social intervention research, planning for a rigorous intervention trial involves several additional elements:
The NIDCR issued an NIH Guide notice concerning the conduct of clinical trials (NOT-DE-08-001 published on March 27, 2008:https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-DE-08-001.html). Standard NIDCR Terms and Conditions of Award for clinical studies and trials were updated. Awardees are required to comply with these Clinical Terms of Award. The details can be found at the following website: NIDCR Clinical Terms of Award and NIDCR Guidance for Clinical Terms of Award http://www.nidcr.nih.gov/ClinicalTrials/ToolkitClinicalResearchers/PoliciesGuidance/. The implementation of the clinical terms of award ensures that the conduct of the clinical trial meets widely-accepted standards.

Where I live there exists 'sports wash centers' that utilize special washing systems (built like inside-out front load washing machines) that hold the equipment stationary (no damage from parts banging against each other) and move the water/cleaning solution around the gear. These systems are also used by pro sports teams and Fire/EMS because the ability to clean, disinfect and sanitize very well and do comply with guidelines for specialised protective equipment (NFPA 1851 standard). I toured the local facility and was very impressed as they were 'washing' a motocross suit along with boots, gloves and helmet! The leather parts came out soft as a babies bottom and the synthetics were nice and clean with no odor at all. The one point I forgot to ask about was whether the cleaning agents were also friendly to Gortex or like water-proof gear. My plan is to try this out when my gear is at a point I can't live with it any longer; likely at the end of this season. because I am in Canada many people are familiar with it via cleaning their kids hockey gear which parents pay a lot of $ to acquire and want to ensure it lasts as long as possible.

Marlins don't want Hanley to risk injury
Club wants shortstop to focus on power rather than speed
By Joe Frisaro / MLB.com
As his career progresses, manager Fredi Gonzalez ideally would like to see Ramirez steal less and hit for more power.
The speedy Ramirez swiped 51 bases in each of his first two seasons. This year, he may well end up reaching that number again. But in a perfect world, Gonzalez prefers the talented shortstop to gradually reduce that number.
Asked if Ramirez was primed for another 50 stolen base season, Gonzalez said: "I hope not. The reason being, the more your body gets banged up -- the wear and tear. He's a guy who hits .300, he hits you 30 [home runs], and has a chance to drive in a lot of runs. I'm scared, because the more you attempt to steal, even if you don't steal, you're diving back to first base. You're getting beaten up pretty good.
"He can handle it now, being as young as he is. Hopefully, the home runs go up and the stolen bases go down."
Rather than see Ramirez risk injury stealing bases, Gonzalez enjoys watching his shortstop sprinting from first-to-third, or first-to-home on hits.
"We'll see," Gonzalez said. "If he has a chance to steal 50, as long as he's not beaten up, we'll see."
Hitting leadoff, Ramirez has the green light to steal, but the team has instructed him to hold as well.
"There are times that we've shut him down, depending on the series," Gonzalez said. "Some teams have three or four guys who control the running game."
Ramirez flashed his speed in the fifth inning, swiping second base. But he hit the base hard, and as a precaution he was removed for a pinch-runner.
"It was Hanley being Hanley," Gonzalez said. "If I don't put him in the lineup tomorrow, he will be in my office at seven o'clock wondering why he isn't playing."
Overall, the Marlins have a lineup not built around speed. It is a vast difference from a few years ago when Juan Pierre and Luis Castillo were at the top of the order.
Spring Training info:
MLB.com coverage | Schedule | Ballpark | Tickets
A year ago, the Marlins had 105 total stolen bases, the 11th most in the Major Leagues.
The franchise record for steals in a season is 177 set in 2002. The 2003 World Series squad had 150 stolen bases.
Second on the club to Ramirez a year ago was Alfredo Amezaga, who swiped 13.
Gonzalez said if Amezaga plays more this year, he could reach 20. Alejandro De Aza is another candidate to steal. But that's about it in the lineup.
"The way we're built, the way we're set up, other than Alfredo and Hanley, and De Aza, other than them, we don't have that threat," Gonzalez said. "I like the speed, because that comes to the ballpark every day. I like the hit-and-run. But the three-run homer doesn't come to the ballpark every day. It's the way we're built right now."

With all the swastika-carving and interracial marriage-objecting, among other things, it appears the States have regressed back to a state of full blown racism. That's only partially true, because Dick Durbin today introduced some race-blind drug legislation. And it's personal...
It's no secret that the justice system weighs crack and powder cocaine on entirely different scales: crack, which came out of the black (scary!) inner city, garners a far harsher sentence than lily white blow. As WaPo notes, "It takes 100 times as much powdered cocaine as crack to trigger the same mandatory minimum sentence." That's thanks to 1986 legislation that Durbin himself supported. But now, perhaps swept up by all the race talk, Durbin says he made a "mistake" and wants to right the drug wrongs.
The sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine has contributed to the imprisonment of African Americans at six times the rate of whites and to the United States' position as the world's leader in incarcerations. It's time for us to act.
And act they will!
Durbin's proposing a bill that requests increase in the amount of crack needed to bring about a mandatory sentence. Don't get us wrong, we think the law needs to be balanced, but wouldn't it make more sense to lower the levels of cocaine needed to get a minimum sentence? (Not that we think that's a good idea, either, but still — increasing crack numbers sort of just rewards drug use of all colors.)

Hey guys I was thinking abouts movesets that new characters in storm 3 could possibly have and I came across this idea about Madara's future moveset.
As we all know it, Madara's arsenal is pretty huge and diverse so how could they fit all his techniques into one character's moveset?
Well why don't they make an alternative costume of Madara which would be his Edo Tensei form?
There would be EMS Madara (when he fought Hashi) and his alternative costume: Edo Tensei which is obviously Edo Madara with the rinnegan
This is how I imagine their movesets:
EMS Madara :
Jutsu : Dragon Flame Release Song Technique :
Ultimate : Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction
Awakening : Perfect Susanoo :
The perfect susanoo final form would be too big so I chose this one.
So that's about it for EMS Madara moveset, for his combo he would be using his Gumbai to smash the opponent around. I don't expect him to be the fast type of guy, but rather he would be focusing on strength and heavy hit, a bit like Hashirama in the game.
Edo Madara:
Jutsu: Great Fire Annihilation
Ultimate : Meteorite Technique :
Yep, you were probably expecting that one , as for this Ultimate, the cutscene would go like this: You see Madara lifting his hands toward the sky and pulling down two huge meteorites slowly crashing on the map, then exploding and annihilating everything including Madara, at the end of this ultimate you would see Madara regenerating in his Edo Tensei Form then stretching his body like nothing happened like a boss.
Awakening: Perfect Susanoo
Oh wait, didn't I say this one would be too big for the game to handle earlier? Nevermind, I'm pretty sure today's system can handle it, it would just be great if Edo Madara had it. They can still make it a bit smaller because I realize how huge it really is.
As you probably already know it, every characters in their awakening state can now use a jutsu. In this perfect Susanoo form, Madara would be summoning his Mokuton bunshins (2 exactly) in complete Susanoo form that would appear for 2 or 3 sec and charge toward the enemy striking him with a sword slash (kind of like Kabuto's jutsu).
In his combos he would be using some wood release to beat his opponent around and for one of his combo (most likely the upper one) it would be awesome if he used wood dragon as a finishing strike.
So that's about it, tell me what you think and if you found my suggestions alright.
I know I didn't cover their entire movesets, there are still plenty of stuff missing like the Grab and the Tilt move.. and yeah that's all. If you have an idea on what their grab and tilt could be then let me know about it. Thanks.

I've been having a tough time completely understanding what's been going on in French politics, and now this. People say all kinds of things about American politics, but at least over here overtly racist policies usually don't succeed at high levels of government.
So, when people say Le Pen or the BNP are racist, which of these do they mean?
The reason I ask is because I'm not well read enough to fully understand what's going on on your side of the Atlantic, and I value the direct opinions from you people over there more than what the media says, anyway.
I know that the longer any dispute goes on, the more potential there is someone will be called a Nazi, but to help me understand, please don't exaggerate if that's not the case. I've got a friend in Romania who kept me up to date with their elections last year, and he was unfortunate enough to be a member of the Hungarian minority that one of the primary candidates hated. Living in the U.S., and being a white male, I can't even imagine what that kind of situation must feel like.
Can't tell you about Le Pen, but as for the BNP - this list comes from their policies page [bnp.org.uk].
Yeah, now that I've looked through their FAQ, I've seen plenty. Opposition to interracial marriage because "a race is a beautiful thing and should stay pure"? Bleah! Turns my stomach! Literally!
1st and 8th letters of the alphabet
I thought freaks like that were only in the U.S. Sometimes I weep for my world.
The repatriation concept is strange. We had a similar movement about slaves in the 1800s; I believe that's part of what founded Nigeria and Monroevia. (You may have already known that; I do
Thanks for the info. As I said, we Americans are just about completely information-less. Our media said "LePen" and "protests" and that's about it. Nearly every sentence you wrote was a revelation to me.
-- ask bjoern hansen [askbjoernhansen.com], !try; do();
Am I right in thinking that you're not a member of the Perl community but just some guy working for the BNP and posting everywhere Google gives you a forum to give the impression that the BNP's ideas are pervasive when, thankfully, they're only shared by a moronic minority. If that is the case, go away and take your propaganda with you.
-- Robin Berjon [berjon.com]
In France, the Front National is nearly [guardian.co.uk] the second-largest political party. It would be difficult to overstate the difference between the two.
Oh, I agree that there's certainly a huge difference in magnitude between what's going on in France and Burnley (where, I think, the BNP won 3 council seats).
On the other hand, they also made a good showing in Oldham and their popularity is grwoing in parts of Southwark and and Tower Hamlets. I just think that we need to be aware of whats going on and if we can do something to stop their influence growing then hopefully we can stop them ever getting close to the popularity of the Front National in France.

Aubrey Sarvis, head of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN), a group involved in urging Congress to repeal DADT, said, "We're pleased by the judge's decision, but this decision is likely to be appealed and will linger for years. Congress made the DADT law 17 years ago and Congress should repeal it. The Senate will have the opportunity to do just that this month and most Americans think the Senate should seize it."
Rea Carey, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, said in a press statement that the ruling "affirms what so many of us already know: 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell,' should end, and for good reason: it is discriminatory, outdated and unfair." She continued, "Our nation's political leaders must end this unjust law once and for all. The lives and livelihoods of dedicated service members hang in the balance."
The Palm Center, a think tank at the University of California, Santa Barbara, which has produced reams of material on the ineffectiveness of DADT, said the ruling should add pressure to lawmakers to repeal the law.
Palm Center Director Aaron Belkin called the decision "historic," and said it "makes clear that there is no legal or military justification for banning gay service in the military. It now comes down to the Senate in September. A vote on the Defense Authorization bill would allow the Pentagon to put forward a new policy of non-discrimination in 2011."
For a detailed history of DADT and the efforts to repeal it see video of an ACS panel discussion, which includes Sarvis and Nathaniel Frank, a leading researcher and author about DADT. Frank talked with ACSblog following the event about DADT and its effect on the military and gay service members. His interview is available here.

EVERETT — The buzz around the Spokane Chiefs coming into Saturday night's game against the Everett Silvertips surrounded the high-scoring exploits of forwards Mitch Holmberg and Mike Aviani.
Instead, it was Eric Williams who stole the show.
The Spokane goaltender turned in a superb performance, shutting out the Tips as the Chiefs prevailed 1-0 in overtime in a tense encounter at Comcast Arena.
Everett had the game's better scoring chances, and the Tips outshot the Chiefs 31-21, including 13-3 in the third period when Everett appeared the likelier team to find the game-winning goal.
However, Williams' heroics kept the game scoreless through regulation, allowing Liam Stewart to squeeze a shot past Everett goaltender Austin Lotz in OT to end it.
Williams finished the game with 31 saves, and one would be hard pressed to witness a better save than the one he made on Carson Stadnyk's rebound attempt in the second period, when he somehow gloved what seemed to be a certain goal.
"I thought we played a good game," Everett coach Kevin Constantine said. "Tonight when we watch the video I don't think we'll find stuff that we really hated about the way we played, I think we'll find most of the stuff we did pretty good there. Their goalie made all the saves he needed to make. I said a couple times to myself during the game that it was going to be tough to beat him tonight, he's on top of his game."
After the Chiefs survived regulation, it was Stewart who gave Spokane (5-1-0-0) the full points. He rushed the puck into the Everett zone on the left and fired a shot from an angle that beat Lotz to the near post.
Lotz, who also made several nice saves prior to the game-winner, finished with 20 stops. Everett (3-1-1-0) now heads out on a four-game road trip that winds through Alberta then finishes in Prince George, B.C.
Spokane came into the game with the best record in the WHL's U.S. Division, with Holmberg and Aviani the primary reason why, as the dynamic overage duo was scoring at will. Holmberg had 17 points in Spokane's first five games to lead the league in scoring, while Aviani's 12 points were close behind.
But Everett's defense locked up Holmberg and Aviani, preventing the pair from getting clear looks at goal. Holmberg kept his scoring streak alive by getting an incidental assist on Stewart's goal, while Aviani was held off the scoresheet.
"We just had to be aware they were on the ice," said Tips defenseman Austin Adam, who played a substantial role in keeping Holmberg and Aviani contained. "They're obviously good hockey players, so you have to be aware they're on the ice and know where they are."
With the Tips defense keeping Spokane's offense under control, Everett was able to focus on trying to score. However, Spokane's defense was Everett's match as the Chiefs largely kept the Tips to the perimeter. When Everett did manage to penetrate the defense, Williams had a padlock on the Chiefs net.
That was never more evident than midway through the second period. Everett's Manraj Hayer sped into the zone and fired a shot while being hooked. The rebound came out to Stadnyk, who swept the puck goal ward and began his celebration. However, Williams somehow not only made the point-blank save, he also scooped up and held the puck in the process.
"It looked so obvious that it was probably a goal we were begging them to check it on video to make sure," Constantine said. "They were adamant that there was no need to, so somebody saw something so they didn't have to look. that was the save of the game."
Stadnyk's chance wasn't Everett's only good look in the second. Leading scorer Joshua Winquist had two wide-open looks from the slot in a matter of seconds earlier in the period. He put the first shot over the goal, then Williams made a good save on the second.
Everett had more of the puck in the third period and had some good chances early. Kohl Bauml fanned at a bouncing puck with an open corner to shoot at, and Williams made good saves on consecutive rebound attempts by Tyler Sandhu and Bauml during an Everett power play to keep it scoreless. The Tips outshot the Chiefs 13-3 in the period.
But while the Tips may have come out ahead on the shot clock, it was the Chiefs who won on the scoreboard.
Slap shots
Everett came into the game ranked first in the league on both the power play and the penalty kill. The Tips' power play was less effective Saturday as it finished 0-for-4 without creating many chances. … Saturday's game was the first time this season Winquist was held off the scoresheet.
