Re-Removal Content

Charizard with Intimidate as special ability?
I'm not sure if the Changes made to Carizard's information are correct or if the user posting has confirmed the information, just based the previous entries on the contributions page for the editing user i'm not sure that the information has corroborated whether the information is accurate —Preceding unsigned comment added by Markrogers (talk • contribs)
- The only thing I can think of would be it's new in X and Y, but we don't have information on that yet. – Jazzi (talk) 11:51, June 27, 2013 (UTC)

I have removed a lot of images from some galleries (like this one), as most of them are same or are bad quality. I only left those that are unique, that only are unqiue, that only appear in certain episodes. Since they are unused now, it would take a lot of time to delete them, so maybe we should ask the VSTF to come to delete these images? - - 17:43, June 29, 2013 (UTC)
- Will you provide me a link to the images you removed? That would help in being able to delete them. This isn't a job that VSTF performs. There are active admins on this wiki, and I highly doubt it's cross-wiki vandalism if they were on the wiki for so long and actually in pages for so long. – Jazzi (talk) 18:01, June 29, 2013 (UTC)
- Here, here and here. There are other galleries that need clean-up, but these are the ones I edited so far. That's a lot of images, so I suggest that you ask the other two admins to help you, if you wish to delete the images now. - - 19:21, June 29, 2013 (UTC)
- Please give me the direct link to the images. Tag them for deletion or something, I'm not going through the revisions to get whatever many images. – Jazzi (talk) 21:37, June 29, 2013 (UTC)
- That is an exhausting task, which is why I recommended the VSTF to help us. But I'll try to flag them for deletion, nontheless, just not everything at once. - - 21:44, June 29, 2013 (UTC)
- That is not what VSTF do. I told you in an above message. To help, I will have a member of VSTF explain what they do do. – Jazzi (talk) 21:52, June 29, 2013 (UTC)
- Hi there, I'm Ty from the VSTF. The VSTF is a volunteer team to help keep Wikia clear of spam and vandalism. Local administrative tasks are best left to the local administrators of the wiki in question to not give the illusion that we are above the local policies of the wiki, like "Who the heck is this deleting all these images that we used to love so dearly?" 22:00, June 29, 2013 (UTC)

Very well. It would be good to delete their images sooner than later. And this is what makes the vandals non-exhausting; you'd think with the block as anons they would stop. - - 16:01, June 30, 2013 (UTC)
- The images are deleted. The vandals were not anons. It doesn't take much effort to deal with vandalism, it takes more effort when provoking edit summaries are left. – Jazzi (talk) 16:02, June 30, 2013 (UTC)
I know that the fact the Spanish wiki are more successful than we are, but I cannot understand why are not some of them helping us. - - 14:32, July 4, 2013 (UTC)
- Well, seeing as they're a Spanish wiki, I have a feeling they aren't helping us because this is an English wiki and they edit the Spanish one due to speaking Spanish. – Jazzi (talk) 14:34, July 4, 2013 (UTC)
- Perhaps. But I did saw a former user. What I saw from history, he moved to Curse, yet he still edits at the Spanish wiki. Somewhat confusing matter to badmouth Wikia and yet still edit on it. - - 14:42, July 4, 2013 (UTC)
So, I fixed my signature. What I would recommend from now on to display some important events (like the forum that was recently made) on the Community Corner. It helps for people to see (and vote, if neccesary). Energy X 15:19, July 4, 2013 (UTC)

Message from Mrdanny99 (talk)
may i be a adminastarator in this pokemon wikia please —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrdanny99 (talk • contribs)
- We're not currently looking for admins, sorry. – Jazzi (talk) 00:51, July 6, 2013 (UTC)
Hello Jazzi! It is a great honor to be here. I have recently joined the wiki (today actually), and I would love to be a part-one here.
Can I ask you to please create the CSS template? It would be really helpful as it allows CSS to be functioning at any interface, without the edition of a MediaWiki page.
For it to function, you need to paste the following code in MediaWiki:Common.js :
addOnloadHook(function() {$('head').append('');});
In the CSS template (which needs to be created), the follwoing code should be entered :

{{{1|}}}

I am hoping that you will see this as a worthy request, and make the template soon. Also, I don't find one reason for replying in your own talkpage to a message than on the user's whose message has been sent. Anyways, thank you.
- I'm really not sure what the CSS template does, you'll have to explain it a bit more. Honestly couldn't this just be fixed with a simple inline css? – Jazzi (talk) 18:46, July 6, 2013 (UTC)
- After some consideration I have concluded not to use this template, I really appreciate you asking about it though. – Jazzi (talk) 19:31, July 6, 2013 (UTC)
- May I ask why? The CSS template is really helpful for building projects that require the edition of the MediaWiki page. In addition to this, the effect of this template is very much faster than that of the MediaWiki page. Can you please provide me at least one reason as to why it is not being created?Fubuki風吹TalkContribs10:45/07.7.2013
- All of that can be done through inline css. – Jazzi (talk) 11:07, July 7, 2013 (UTC)

Inter wiki assistance
Allow me to get right to the point, Im one of the admins on the the wiki-answers, and we are in need of assistance.
We have become overwhelmed at the number of questions, that some category's have been allowed to build up and remain unanswered, many of those category's has are related to Pokemon.
We need help answering, and we figured that this wiki would beable to provide assistance.
Im provideing you, and the other admins here a link to this category, and we hope to hear from one (or all) of you soon
Thanks and happy editing.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 21:07, July 8, 2013 (UTC)
- I am sorry me asking has upset you, like i said we are in a major state of need, and have found that asking more then one admin gives us a better chance of a reply. Some admins are not willing to even reply, so the more we ask, the better chance for a yes or a know. Since you are looking like a no, ill refrain from asking any more people here for help. Thank you for responding, and good luck here on your wiki.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 21:15, July 8, 2013 (UTC)
- We have had trouble with that on other wikis, they told us they want their Forums for their content and only their content. It might have been better to ask true, but we have been going by what has worked on wiki's that have responded.
- With your permission, would we be-able to still post a forum here asking for help.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 21:20, July 8, 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks you, we want nothing but good relationship's with other wiki's and i will remember to come to you if we ever need anything else. Thanks and happy editing.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 03:32, July 9, 2013 (UTC)
Enable Achievements
I KNOW i'm new but please can I request adminship, or could you enable achievements on this wiki? Also I am good at HTML codes, I took a course, so could you admin me or enable achievements.
- No. I do not wish to expand on this, it is pretty obvious and every user on this wiki will feel the same. Rainbow Shifter 16:24, July 11, 2013 (UTC)
- Hi, I just want to let you all know, that I receive emails when edits are performed on my talk page. Firstly, you will not be given administrative rights here at Pokémon Wiki. You do not meet any of the requirements to request administrative rights, nor do you meet the requirements the even vote. Achievements were enabled here at Pokémon Wiki, but they are disabled and will not be enabled again. – Jazzi (talk) 17:04, July 11, 2013 (UTC)
- Badges were disabled due to this forum.
As of now, our users are somewhat inactive and Winxfan and I are the only ones who are steadily collecting badges. I suggest we disable them from now on in the Winter and Spring and reactivate them in the Summer and Fall when people are more active.
- Hopefully this answered your question(s). – Jazzi (talk) 20:51, July 12, 2013 (UTC)
Clemont and Grant's type specialties?
I was looking over the two and I think Clemont is a Electric type user and Grant is a Rock type user (Grant sounds close to granite) judging by the appearances of them and their gyms. Should they be added or should this wait until further info arrives? --OmegaRasengan (talk) 23:44, July 12, 2013 (UTC)
- I'll have to look into it to confirm it, since I currently don't know. – Jazzi (talk) 03:28, July 13, 2013 (UTC)
- It's currently not confirmed. While it might seem obvious, it's better to wait until it's officially revealed. Keep in mind to use the official Pokémon XY website instead of Serebii or other fansites as these might not be reliable and often times get different information. Bermuda • Triangle • 03:38,7/13/2013
- Pretty much where I was looking over the two.--OmegaRasengan (talk) 03:44, July 13, 2013 (UTC)

Hey. Wow, it's been a while, good to talk to you! I know I'm not active here and such, but I was just wondering why your name is underlined. Technology Wizard Talk Contribs 01:30, July 15, 2013 (UTC)
- Wow, so sorry for not responding sooner! I was on vacation! Yep, that explains it! I have just been so busy in real life lately that I haven't been able to contribute to any wikis as much as I wish I could, but when possible, I'll help contribute here! Thanks Jazzi! :-) Technology Wizard Talk Contribs 06:13, August 7, 2013 (UTC)
So I made the changes to Template:Episode on my sandbox and this is the final outcome: User:Bermuda/Test. I made Major events and Pokémon collapsible, since they're too big. Other than that, everything should be the same so there's no changes required. If there's anything wrong with it, just let me know. Bermuda • Triangle • 03:52,7/15/2013
For some unknown reason, this user has been adding some incorrect categories. Energy X 09:15, July 16, 2013 (UTC)
- That does not deserve a ban, it deserves a warning. Which I see you didn't do. – Jazzi (talk) 13:21, July 16, 2013 (UTC)
- I highly doubt anything can be warned about. Vandals are vandals; there is simply no reason to warn them if they continue to vandalise. Energy X 17:45, July 16, 2013 (UTC)
- Let's look at a break down of their contributions:
02:39, July 16, 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+52) . . Category:Generation VI Pokémon (Adding categories)
11:15, July 15, 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+19) . . Spewpa (Adding categories)
11:09, July 15, 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+28) . . McCauley (Adding categories)
01:41, July 9, 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+24) . . Vivillon (Adding categories)
19:10, May 17, 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+30) . . N File:Scourge-vs-tigarstar-o.gif
- May 17, 2013 they uploaded an image. The image doesn't get used. If I were to ban for that numerous users would be banned.
- July 9-16, 2013 they add categories to articles. The categories are incorrect. Again, if I were to ban for that numerous users would be banned.
- Now, let's look at something to emphasize the point that I know how to administrate a wiki:
- Blocks performed under Jäzzi
- There are 192 blocks in that list. Starting from June 8, 2011, I have blocked 192 users under this account only. I was given administrative rights on July 7, 2011.
- Blocks performed under DangerousDangerously
- There are 67 blocks on that list.
- Combining the blocks from both accounts, I have blocked a total of 259 users.
- Blocks performed under Jäzzi
- I have been an administrator since around this time in 2011. I have had the rights for the entire time. I have no abused my rights and I use them correctly.
- Common method is to warn at least three times and then block. But depending on the severity there may be less warnings or there may just be a block.
- I know how to block people and I have correct judgement.
- Let this never happen again. – Jazzi (talk) 18:01, July 16, 2013 (UTC)
- I highly doubt anything can be warned about. Vandals are vandals; there is simply no reason to warn them if they continue to vandalise. Energy X 17:45, July 16, 2013 (UTC)
Interest in the Wiki
Greetings, I am a big fan of Pokemon. Especially the games. I have been playing the games since Gen I. So, I of course can across this Wiki and I really do feel that I could help out with my editing. I was wondering if there is anything I should know about? Perhaps any tips you could provide me with? I will be a regular in chat also so I hope to see some people there at some stage.
Thanks again,

Move usage
I don't think I encountered how the move is used, but seen here, there is a list. Does it have to be written? Energy X 21:54, July 20, 2013 (UTC)
- I tried to look into it to see if I could find a quick solution, but since I'm on vacation I can't really help out. – Jazzi (talk) 22:12, July 20, 2013 (UTC)
Message from CCarolinee (talk)
It's been a WHILE since I watched Pokemon and It really makes me smile&laugh from heart. This quesion has been bugging me fo a wile too. Why did the completely change the Pokemon? They don't look the same way they used to? I only watched Pokemon while MIsty and Ahs traveled along with Ash...Did they travel to a new world, or sth? Did the anime get new producers and so they added like 100 new "Pokemon" o.O ? (CCarolinee (talk))
- Well, you see, Pokémon is one of Nintendo's best selling series, the game came before the anime, and so to continue to make the money that the game brings in, Nintendo needs to make more games with more regions, and so the anime follows a similar path. – Jazzi (talk) 21:08, July 24, 2013 (UTC)
As seen here, the user I warned you of is still inserting wrong categories, despite the warning. Energy X 08:50, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

Hello Jazzi. I would like to ask you for administrator rights on the wiki. I would like to make a new logo, as the official Pokemon logo, and add a new background, because it just is a black background with the newer Pokemon on it, which isn't a great background and makes everything else look "dark." I will also make templates and updates for the wiki, and help in many ways as I can. I'm an administrator on several other wikis, so I know what I'm doing, and Pokemon is a part of my childhood. The wiki also gets a few edits a day, and I don't notice much administration help, so I would like to help in any way possible. I'm not doing this because I like Pokemon and I'll edit all the time, but I will for sure help the wiki and use my administrator rights aptly and will communicate with the other admins. There is also about 5 administration staff, and I think the wiki as popular as this could use a little bit more. In case you despise the thought of a new editor becoming an administrator, remember that administrator rights isn't for someone with a lot of edits, or someone who is nice to everyone else, it is about who will use their rights correctly and use them to help the wiki, and I know everything about administrator rights, as well as CSS coding. Thank you for any consideration. NinjaFatGuy (talk) 02:24, July 29, 2013 (UTC)
I think we should remove the age parameter from character infoboxes. Most of the characters do not have their age confirmed at all, save for only the main characters. Hence, it is speculation, at best. Energy X 23:22, July 29, 2013 (UTC)

Tabber One Rail Error
Hey there,
I noticed that on the first tabber page there's an error causing the right rail to be pushed all the way down. I don't know if it bothers you guys, but if so I have a simple fix. You just have to add the following code to MediaWiki:Wikia.css:
.WikiaGrid .grid-2 { width: 328px; }
Kind regards,

Hey, for some reason, the [[:Category:Ground Pokémon|this category]] has many Pokémon that should not belng. I assume it must be something with the template. Energy X 09:56, August 10, 2013 (UTC)
- I somehow manage to fix the coding, though only brought more problems. But it can easily be fixed if you fix the "type" parameter of the template. The type parameter should appear like this:
|type = Grass |type2 = Poison
- Rather than:
|type = {{type|Grass}}/{{type|Poison}}
- I'm no template expert, so excuse me if I did a silly mistake. :P
- Apparently, I've been having problems with my computer (keeps crashing), so I haven't been able to work on fixing the pages. I'm lucky enough to even post a message. Bermuda • Triangle • 17:11,8/10/2013
Another problem Rainbow Shifter 07:14, August 11, 2013 (UTC)
- Nevermind, I have realised how to fix it, it just means editing basically all the Pokémon pages except Bulbasaur. But the Evolutionary Line section of the pokébox isn't exactly needed due to us having a template for it already and a section especially for it.Rainbow Shifter 07:19, August 11, 2013 (UTC)
Wish I could screenshot it, but Wikia has decided to spotlight this wiki. Energy X 09:16, August 22, 2013 (UTC)

Message from RainblackDragon (talk)
Umm... Hi. As you know I'm RainblackDragon. but if you prefer to, you can just call be RB. I'm still pretty new here and I don't know much about editing pages on Wikia. However, Pokemon is a broad subject that has many aspects, so I'll take an advantage of that and try to contribute or edit as many page as I possibly can. I know a lt about it. I have a long way to go before actually being noticed, so I'm not really going to go for bigshot just yet. I'll give it some time. Anyway, the main thing you'll see me talkig about is, Generation IV to Generation VI, and maybe a few spin-off games. But the basic message is: if you need help with anything, Call on me and I'll do my best. Thanks.

With more octagon wins than any other fighter in UFC history, Matt Hughes (45-8 MMA, 18-6 UFC) knows his spot in history is secure.
The UFC Hall of Famer ranks behind only Anderson Silva for the most title defenses in the organization's history, and his clashes with Royce Gracie, Carlos Newton, B.J. Penn, Georges St-Pierre and Frank Trigg are
among the UFC's most memorable moments.
So as Hughes prepares to face Diego Sanchez (23-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) in the co-feature of September's UFC 135 event, he has precious little to prove in the cage. Nevertheless, Hughes insists he's got plenty left to show. A stoppage of "The Dream" is tops on his list, and then it's on to only the most interesting of challenges.
"I'm at that stage right now where I'm taking interesting fights," Hughes said at a recent UFC Fight Club Q&A session. "I had the belt. [St-Pierre] has beaten me two out of three times. Nobody wants to see a fourth fight between him and I, so I'm just going to take it easy, fight interesting fights, and that's it."
It's a mature admission from the 37-year-old legend of the sport. He'll give up eight years of youth to Sanchez, who has delivered back-to-back "Fight of the Night" performances in his past two outings. And while Sanchez's accomplishments don't yet stack up to to the former champ's impressive résumé, Hughes had no hesitation in accepting the matchup.
"What I like about it is I think it's a fight the fans will want to tune into," Hughes said. "Diego, mentally he's tough. He's going to come to fight all three rounds. You don't have to worry about Diego going away after the first or second round.
"Striking, takedowns, submissions, he's pretty equal all the way around. Of course, if he gets on top, that's where he really shines. I just think it's a good matchup."
Hughes had been on a bit of a career resurgence after rattling off wins over Ricardo Almeida, Renzo Gracie and Matt Serra. A November 2010 loss to Penn, which took all of 21 seconds, brought him back down a few notches, but Hughes insists he hasn't lost his drive. In fact, Hughes recently sold his H.I.T. Squad gym to Jesse Finney and is now hitting the road in search of fresh looks while continuing to refine his technique.
"I was driving an hour from my house," Hughes explained. "I drove like a madman an hour from my house to the gym, work out, gym to the house another hour. I got sick of it. There were a lot of good guys down there, but I didn't get threatened a whole lot. When I go out to Jeremy Horn's gym, I train with Jeremy, DaMarques Johnson, a bunch of good grapplers, a bunch of good strikers. I get threatened a lot, whether it be submission or striking. I want to have that threatening position because you get better.
"If you're the best guy in the gym, you're just not getting better. I'm not saying I was the best guy. I'm just saying I wasn't getting threatened a lot. I will probably be down there to train, but I'll also be going back up to Pat Miletich's. I'm going out to Ft. Bragg to train with those guys. I'm going to Arizona to train with (Ryan) Bader and those guys. I plan on being on the road a lot."
Time will tell if the gamble pays off. After a brutal 1-3 stretch a few years back, some pundits openly questioned whether Hughes still had what it takes to succeed in an organization that he helped bring to notoriety. Now 3-1 in his past four, Hughes appears to have righted the ship.
But Hughes isn't setting any long-term goals right now. For now, it's all about Sanchez; the rest is still to be determined.
"I think it's going to be a good fight," Hughes said. "I would love to stop Diego. He's not easy to stop. That would be great. It's going to be tough, though. He's a gamer. You've got to be prepared physically and mentally."

Q: My father is a native Chicagoan. Someone once asked me where, exactly, he grew up. I asked Dad and he replied, "Tell them I grew up on the corner of Kostner and Van Buren...and then watch them recoil in horror."
I think the intersection no longer exists, but somewhere around there (I think) was a bakery called Dressel's. They made a cake that was white or yellow and involved strawberries. I think there was some kind of custard filling in the middle. Dad liked those cakes. A lot. He never asks anyone for anything. And in my 42 years, I've never heard him complain about anything except pain, once, while he was in the hospital. But every year he requests "real birthday cake."
According to him, there is only one kind of birthday cake on the whole freaking planet and it was the Dressel's cake. He is 70 and I don't know how many birthdays we have left, so I'm going out on a limb and writing to people who might know. I'd like to get it for him, if there is any way. ... Is anyone making this cake? Or is there anyone with a recipe who could be bribed into making it or selling the recipe?
—Kelly Wilson, Chagrin Falls, Ohio
A: The intersection is still there in the West Garfield Park neighborhood, but I'm afraid the Dressel's cake you are looking for is also a thing of the past — and it's apparently going to stay that way. I don't know of anyone who is making or selling a re-creation of the cake. (Readers, let me know if you do.) And Dan Dressel, for one, isn't talking.
"The whip cream formula was never revealed,'' Dressel wrote in a recent email. "My dad and two employees, who are deceased, were the only ones who knew all the ingredients.
"I suppose some of the items could be duplicated in the home, but we will never know since we do not provide information on ingredients,'' he added. "There are few local bakeries that have tried to duplicate the Chocolate Whipped Cream Cake but have not come close."
That chocolate fudge whipped cream cake was Dressel's most famous item. The cake was also made in strawberry and banana, says Monica Kass Rogers of the Lost Recipes Found blog.
The Daley Question ran a recipe for a Dressel-style chocolate fudge whipped cream cake back on May 15, 2012. The recipe was a collaboration between Kass and Heidi Hedeker, associate professor and pastry chef instructor at Kendall College.
Latest Lifestyles
Dressel said that cake was "not quite the same" as the original because of the whipped cream.
You could, if you want, get the chocolate fudge whipped cream cake recipe from Rogers' blog (lostrecipesfound.com) and start making your own substitutions to create a white or yellow cake, then work up some sort of strawberry flavored filling. Or, you could tell your dad, gently and kindly, that you tried but failed in finding that cake for him. Then wheel out whatever cake he likes second-best.
Take comfort in this one fact: Memories and taste buds change over the years; not everything we adored eating once will be as delicious today because nostalgia tends to burnish flavor, making dishes seem better than they really were.

Christine Sauer
Into the World of a Textile Artist
Looking at pieces in Christine Sauer's Cluster Series isn't enough. To really appreciate these multimedia textile constructions, you need to look into them.
This is stationary work, yet the details are so intricate, so varied and so tightly crafted that a piece seems to move as you glance from one spot to the next, rapidly noticing something new.
"The excitement I feel learning about the natural world inspires a lot of this," Sauer says. "I want the viewer to have an intimate experience with it."
Sauer completes the effect with a mix of stitching, embroidery, quilting and obsessively dense beading. Peering in, the lavish texture registers first and keeps going. Her work is not merely layered but swirling, looping and visually beguiling.
There's excitement within these modestly sized, regally elaborate pieces, and that reflects an artistic energy Sauer has been stoking for some time. A native of upstate New York, she came to New Orleans in the early 1980s for graduate school. Her sculpture installations were featured in a show at the Contemporary Arts Center in 1988, but eventually her career as an arts educator overtook her studio work. She taught art in local public and private schools, including, most recently, a 15-year tenure at St. Martin's Episcopal School. Eventually, this work with students brought her full circle.
"Seeing them creating in the moment, it helped me get my joy back for the creative process," Sauer says. "Seeing them graduate and move on to new things, I felt like I wanted to graduate, too. I knew it was time for me to do something different."
The Katrina experience steeled her resolve to begin a new chapter in her life. After a few years of preparation, she retired from teaching in 2010 and "rewired" herself for full-time studio work again, eventually fixing on the expressive potential of textile art.
Today, she draws from materials as varied as silk fabrics and window screens, shirt buttons and even bits of photos. It all goes into works that seem intuitively organic and exuberantly festive yet also remain persistently unresolved, with a disquieting backbeat somewhere between the stitches. For the viewer, it threads a path that's open to interpretation and doggedly enigmatic.
LeMieux Galleries (332 Julia St., 522-5988, www.lemieuxgalleries.com) features an exhibit of Sauer's work through June and July. See more at www.christinesauer.com.

TAIPEI, TAIWAN (Sept. 26, 2:50 p.m. ET) — Seeing strong growth in the smartphone market, including from the Apple iPhone, Taiwanese molding machine manufacturer Multiplas Enginery Co. Ltd. plans to build a factory campus that will initially double its production.
The company, based in Taoyuan City, supplies equipment to the companies in mainland China and Taiwan that manufacture the iPhone.
Multiplas has benefited significantly from the success of that product, said David Chang, vice general manager.
"For Multiplas, this year has been extremely good," Chang said in an interview at the company's booth at Taipei Plas, held Sept. 21-25.
Chang said details of the expansion are still being worked out, but the company has bought 7½ acres of land in Taoyuan — eight times larger than the land area of its current factory — and plans to move into the first phase of the new facility in early 2014.
Investment in the factory ultimately could total US$45 million, Chang said.
The firm plans to add about 100 employees in the first phase of the expansion, on top of its existing workforce of 150.
While Taiwan's plastics equipment industry as a whole is projecting only sluggish sales this year, Multiplas said its 2012 revenues are on pace to set a record.
General Manager David Wu said Multiplas' growth reflects the general trend of the Taiwanese industry, with the smartphone sector doing reasonably well, while other markets, such as home appliances and laptop computers, are proving to be more difficult.

The 46-year-old Connecticut man whose YouTube video shows him surrounded by marijuana plants is facing a string of charges after police say they found drugs, packaging materials and more than $1,000 in cash at his storage unit in Clinton.
William Bradley was arrested on Monday and charged with multiple counts of narcotics violations after police discovered marijuana, oxycodone, hashish and cocaine in a storage unit on Nod Place in Clinton.
In a YouTube video posted in October, Bradley stands among marijuana plants as tall as he is. He takes viewers on a tour of "Hope Garden," identifies himself by name and asks for donations.
Bradley says in the video that he has terminal cancer and wants to give away the marijuana to other cancer patients. He says without donations, he'll be forced to sell it instead.
"As you can see, God has gifted me with an abundance and it's more than I need, so I want to take the extra and give it to people that need the help," Bradley says in the video. "I want to be able to help people like myself, and I don't have the money to do that."
Bradley directs the donations to a post office box in Westbrook.
"Maybe have a fundraiser," he suggests in the video. "Go to your church or synagogue or mosque or organization or school or anywhere, start a collection, so that we together can help people, help people that need this medicine."
Connecticut has legalized medical marijuana and organizations have been approved to serve as designated growers.
"I need to get my marijuana license so that I don't have to be a criminal anymore and I need help financially," Bradley says in the video.
After searching Bradley's storage bin on Monday, police said they seized more than two pounds of marijuana, more than 20 grams of hashish, two bags of cocaine, four oxycodone pills, $1,017 of drug money and drug paraphernalia including packaging materials, scales, drug notes and a cellphone.
Police confirmed that Bradley is the person in the video.
Bradley is facing multiple drug charges, including possession of narcotics with intent to sell, possession of marijuana with intent to sell, possession of hashish with intent to sell, possession of drug paraphernalia and operating a drug factory.
Police said Bradley had been previously arrested and was found in possession of more than 10 pounds of marijuana in 2008.
Bradley has posted other videos of the marijuana garden, most recently in November.
He posted $5,000 bond and is due in Middletown Superior Court on Jan. 21.

Save As
Label: Bonzai Basiks
Release date: 2013-09-23
Catalog number: BB2013108
Purveyor of the finest tech beats Sa.Du delivers his latest three tracker "Save As". Sa.Du now has a very impressive collection of works under the Bonzai imprint and this is sure to continue as he thrashes out quality vibes every time.
"Save As" intros with a myriad of different percussions which form beautifully into a solid groove, heavy kicks are the perfect addition with a superb bassline getting the groove into full effect. The introduction of strange sounding synths gives the track a slight twist and on the break warm lush synths accompany melodic piano sequences before reverting back to a sublime tech groove.
"Make Noise" gets going with a fantastic big room kick and open hat combi, a throbbing bass soon enters and a top notch groove is born. Rhythms build up nicely and on the break some brilliant FX work on the vocal creates a sinister vibe. Kicking back into the groove we get a superb synth which alone will have any floor jumping.

Rhythm and Beats Lesson Plan: One Man Band Music Game
In this One Man Band game lesson plan, which is adaptable for grades K-5, students will use BrainPOP resources to explore the sounds made by various instruments, and use a free online music game to create their own one-of-a-kind One Man Band.
Students will:
- Explore the sounds created by various instruments through an online game.
- Compare and contrast instruments within and across instrument families.
- Select and research one instrument family and present findings to the class.
- Internet access for BrainPOP and BrainPOP Jr.
- Computers for students to use independently or in pairs
- Interactive whiteboard (or just an LCD projector)
Preparation:This lesson plan uses a free online music game from State of Play called One Man Band. During game play, students drag and drop instruments anywhere on the screen, then press Play or Stop to control the music on each. They can also click buttons 1, 2, or 3 to switch between different loops.
To prepare for this lesson, explore the BrainPOP and/or BrainPOP Jr. movie topics on music, and determine which ones are most appropriate for your students and learning objectives.
Lesson Procedure:
- Begin the lesson by playing the Pitch, Tone, and Beat movie from BrainPOP Jr. Instruct the class to listen for the definition of each term as they watch.
- Talk with students about the meaning of the words pitch, tone, and beat. Use the Word Wall to guide your discussion. You might also want to display the Game to further students' understanding of high and low notes, or the Talk About It activity to develop the concepts of sharp and warm sounds.
- Project the One Man Band game for the class and play the introduction. Draw students' attention to the different beats and rhythms the drum makes in the tutorial. Encourage students to replicate them by tapping on their desks. Have a clearly defined signal so that students know when to stop and listen once again.
- Mouseover each of the instrument choices for students and play them. Facilitate a discussion about the less conventional examples, and guide students to understand that lots of objects can be used to make music (even the tops of their desks!)
- As you drag different instruments onto the One Man Band, provide as much concept develop as you feel your students need. You can use the game to build background knowledge on instruments, instrument families, melody and harmony, analog and digital recording, and more. Use the related BrainPOP and BrainPOP Jr. movie topics to guide you.
- Hit the Finish button and allow the class to listen to the One Man Band they created. How do the instruments work together to create a beat and rhythm? Were there any sounds that didn't seem to belong? Why did it seem that way?
- Allow students to explore the game independently or with a partner. Provide sufficient time for students to create a steady beat with instrument sounds that complement one another.
- At the end of class, permit several volunteers to play their One Man Band for the class. Instruct the other students to keep the beat by tapping on their desks or laps.
- Encourage students to create their real-life own One Man Band using items in the classroom or around their homes! How many different "instruments" can they play at a time while still maintaining a steady beat?

UN court orders release of Argentine ship in Ghana
BERLIN (AP) — A United Nations court ordered the immediate release Saturday of an Argentine navy training ship seized by Ghana two months ago at the request of an American hedge fund.
The ARA Libertad was detained Oct. 2 in the port of Tema as collateral for unpaid bonds dating from Argentina's economic crisis a decade ago. Argentina appealed to the U.N.'s International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea for the ship's release, arguing that as a warship the Libertad is immune from being seized.
There was no comment from judicial authorities in Ghana about the ruling.
In an expedited ruling, the court ordered that Ghana "forthwith and unconditionally release the frigate ARA Libertad" and ensure the ship and its crew can leave Ghanaian waters. It also ordered that the vessel be resupplied as needed.
Detaining the ship was "a source of conflict that may endanger friendly relations among states," the court said.
The ruling left untouched the parties' rights to seek further international arbitration on the matter.
Argentine Economy Minister Hernan Lorenzino hailed the decision and vowed to continue fighting what President Cristina Fernandez has called "vulture funds," with which the country is locked in a series of legal battles.
"Argentina will continue to defend itself from the financial pirates," Lorenzino said via Twitter on Saturday. "Vultures, you won't succeed, with the ship nor with the debt."
Ghana courts ordered the ship held on a claim by Cayman Islands-based NML Capital Ltd. Its owner, American billionaire Paul Singer, leads a group demanding payment in full, plus interest — about $350 million — for dollar-based Argentine bonds bought at fire sale prices after Argentina's 2001-2002 economic collapse forced a sharp devaluation of its currency.
The vast majority of bondholders accepted about 30 cents on the dollar years ago, and that is roughly what the holdouts led by Singer initially paid for the bonds.
In an emailed statement, NML criticized the tribunal for making a ruling.
"The Ghanaian courts have sole jurisdiction over this dispute, and that is where this matter has been and will continue to be lawfully heard," it said. "It is completely inappropriate for the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea to attempt to interfere with orderly proceedings of the independent judiciary of Ghana."
Susana Ruiz Cerutti, the head of Argentina's delegation to the tribunal, was quoted by the Telam state news agency as praising the ruling for being unanimous and for siding with the vessel's captain, who had been accused of contempt.
It wasn't immediately clear how soon, or if, the ship would be allowed to set sail. The director-general of the Ghana Ports and Harbors Authority, Richard Anamoo, told The Associated Press that "it is not the port authorities that are holding the ship. We were only implementing a (Ghanaian) court order."
Argentina defense minister, Arturo Puricelli, said at a news conference in Buenos Aires that a charted plane would deliver 98 more sailors to Ghana on Wednesday to join the skeleton crew that stayed with the Libertad. He estimated the sailing ship could return to Buenos Aires by Jan. 9.
Associated Press writers Almudena Calatrava in Buenos Aires and Francis Kokutse in Accra, Ghana, contributed to this report.

o.k. only map data update this time, and changed the normal typfile (for most countries, some small countries not yet) to thin lines and made forest a bit more prominent (though not green). white.typ got a tiny bit more prominent forest. no mkgmap version update because I ran into ton of conflicts on compiling due to my patches. I will try to completely overhaul for the next map update. Currently I work a 60 hour week and this leaves not much time for working on my page. Also I got some work to do on a new openstreetmap project which I will publicize in around 2 month time.
Just gotta say that quite a lot of competitors after me introducing it, will have immeadiate problems to react to the market change it will bring. I'm just in the process of structuring it and maybe founding a company to get it done and get some funding for doing it.
Even if the monetary crisis will bring hyperinflation to the Western World starting in 1-2 month and changing more than we can currently imagine. Corrupt Politicians payed by the banking system and newspapers not admitting the monetary crisis will not stop me and our quest to open map data and open products... Proprietary sytems will demise.... Let's take the chance of a huge crisis to overhaul our world to the better, a world where knowledge and not patents, copyrights, and money rule. Take part in Open Source projects like openstreetmap and use your power to make the earth a better place.

Self-driving vehicles by OTTO Motors improved cycle times and reduced floor space at GE Healthcare's new repair operations center in Wisconsin. The Modern Materials Handling feature [MH1] by Bob Trebilcock discussed in detail how the GE Healthcare repair center applied lean principles using the OTTO 1500 self-driving vehicle.
Just as manufacturers need to keep the line running to meet the needs of their customers, timeliness is critical in a repair facility, especially one putting medical devices back into service. "Our customers are hospitals and healthcare facilities that need consistent, reliable and fast repairs," says Patricio Espinosa, director of GE Healthcare's Americas Repair Operations. "If an imaging system like an MRI is down, a hospital can miss 10 or 20 life-saving diagnostics in a day. They need it back up right away."
The GE Healthcare facility is an early adopter of the OTTO self-driving vehicles, which are used to manage the flow of work through the facility. On the front end of the process, the vehicles deliver bins of raw materials and parts to be repaired to work cells; on the back end of the process, they are used to deliver completed parts to a conveyor that services the packing and shipping areas. One key feature of the mobile robots is their ability to self-navigate and automatically re-plan a new route if the original route to a destination is blocked or unavailable.
The OTTO self-driving vehicles will be showcased at industry's most important event, Drive Manufacturing Summit, Oct 2-4, 2017. This unconventional conference will bring 350+ industry leaders together to network, inform and determine how change can be integrated back into their facilities. (Early bird tickets are available until June 30, 2017).
Modern Materials Handling reaches the largest and most highly qualified audience of executives, distribution center professionals, and engineers involved in buying/specifying materials handling equipment and services.
About Drive Manufacturing Summit
Drive Manufacturing Summit is the definitive event for future-focused manufacturing leaders. This unconventional conference is designed to improve facility operations and manufacturing strategies across North America, while addressing ways to overcome key challenges facing industry today. The summit will offer three tracks of immersive learning and offer active discussions for future planning. Drive Manufacturing Summit is held October 2-4, 2017, at the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee, WI.

Company Monitoring
The success of businesses and organizations depends on both strategic-structural factors, and socio-cultural ones.
Sustainable change processes optimize social, economic and ecological targets in a balanced manner.
While dynamics are usually judged positively, stability is seen as something negative. This view, which is often held by management, means the preserving power of stability may be overlooked and its relevance underestimated.
Changes always involve insecurities and resistance - even though the initial situation may be unsatisfactory, the defined goal desirable and the way of achieving it convincing.
Good change management creates the possibilities for control. This requires the employees can perceive, foresee and have influence over change.
The quality of a company's culture first becomes clear in its handling of difference.
Companies are political arenas in which, alongside fact-based goals, personal motives and self-interest constitute essential driving forces.
Management roles are not given and defined - they are continually negotiated and developed further.
The complexity of the requirements on management is mainly determined by the complexity of reoccurring dilemmas in the concrete management situation.
Management is the most relevant cultural influence within companies.
There is great potential for organizational and individual learning processes within companies.
Humane work conditions are a necessity and prerequisite for the economic success of a company; they do not pose an obstacle to it.
Individual performance is substantially determined by the characteristics and qualities of each person, as well as the organizational and cultural parameters of the company.
Strategic leadership requires, from time to time, systematically asking questions relevant to the company, and answering these with sound information.
The basic functions of every organization encompass daily business and innovation.
The behavior of the managers and executives in a company is of great significance for the development of the employees' health.
Leadership is not right or wrong, but rather better or worse.

That is understating it a bit when you consider the five-year history of the now 25-year-old singer. He was convicted of assaulting ex-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, for which he received his current probation; he has been in and out of rehab for anger management; he was diagnosed with bipolar and post-traumatic stress disorders; and he landed in jail for 108 days after violating his parole by assaulting a man who tried to photo bomb him outside a Washington, D.C., hotel in 2013, for which he was sentenced to time served earlier this week after pleading guilty.
But Brown tells Billboard for its upcoming cover story that he found motivation during his jail time by trying to find a reason why his past troubles happened.
"Maybe I was out of control too much. Or I needed something to humble me to the point where I get it," he said during the Aug. 13 interview. "At that point, I didn't look at it as trying to get out of the situation but learn from it."
Considering the high-powered lawyers he had on retainer, he was indirectly trying to at least get out of jail.
"I realize that what I do for a living opens my life to public scrutiny and that I have a responsibility to everyone because of that exposure," he continued. "I can say that I am only human and I have made mistakes. I can say that I try to live my life in the most true, honest way that I can. I am not perfect, no one is. No one is harder on me than me. No one can please everyone. No one can live in the past and expect to grow. I have been moving forward and hope that I am not defined by just a few moments in my life but all of the moments that will make up my life."
Those moments now include — 11 days after his interview — music mogul Suge Knight and two others being shot during Brown's pre-MTV Video Music Awards party and reports that perhaps Brown was the intended target.
In the interview with Billboard, Brown opens up about his time spent in jail and why he feels his fans have not only remained loyal but recently launched his single "Loyal" to No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. The full interview is online at www.billboard.com.

After Wimbledon, I received many emails from you about your new obsession: Andy Murray and Kim Sears. Me too!
But then I wondered...
Was it just the rush of victory? Was it a true obsession? Or were we getting carried away? So I decided to wait. Wait and see if the interest abated.
Aaaaand...then I saw these pictures of them on holiday in Ibiza and, yeah, I think I might be into them. Not with a Taylor-Johnson level of intensity but into it all the same.
Is it because he kinda looks like Andrew Garfield? Is it because she paints dog portaits? Is it because she has resisted the urge to jam herself into the camera at every opportunity? Is it...because...what's it like to spend your life painting dog portraits? I keep coming back to this, but she might be living my dream life, if I had any artistic inclination.
Anyway, they were all up in his face about proposing after he won last week, which worried me because I thought maybe he'd wig out. But they seem great here, non?

EXETER – The Southern District YMCA (SDYMCA) is looking forward to joining hands with the community to develop a YMCA on the 10 acres located at 56 Linden Street.
On September 21, the non-profit organization became the new owner of the old Exeter Area Junior High School property. SDYMCA purchased the property from Squamscott Community Commons (SCC) and is planning the necessary steps to bring a YMCA facility to Exeter.
Recognizing that the building had gone into disrepair, including safety issues, the SDYMCA immediately responded to make the building, and the surrounding area, safer by removing overgrown shrubbery and securing the building including boarding up broken windows.
For the Southern District YMCA, the purchase of the land was made possible after nearly a decade of financial planning. Funds were set aside from donations that were given specifically for an Exeter-area facility and from revenues saved through responsible management of Southern District YMCA programs. These programs include Camp Lincoln (summer day camp, outdoor education, and facility rental), School Age Child Care in 15 local communities (before and after school care from kindergarten through age 12), and Y-Arts (education and experience in the arts).
The old Exeter Area Junior High School will have to be leveled in order to move forward with a YMCA in Exeter," said Executive Director Rob Roy McGregor. "Asbestos removal began last week. The entire demolition by a local company is anticipated to be complete by mid-February 2013. After that, it is up to the community as to when and how the construction proceeds."

LONDON — Marion Bartoli of France eliminated the last U.S. player at Wimbledon on Tuesday, reaching her third Grand Slam semifinal by beating Sloane Stephens 6-4, 7-5 in a rain-interrupted, break-filled match.
The 15th-seeded Bartoli, the 2007 runner-up at the All England Club, was leading 5-4 with Stephens serving at deuce when they resumed after a 2½-hour rain delay. Bartoli won the next two points, the latter a 27-stroke exchange, to take the opening set.
That began a stretch in which Bartoli broke Stephens five consecutive times, four at love. After Stephens broke to get within 5-4, then held to 5-all, Bartoli took the last two games, including yet another break at love to end the quarterfinal.
In Thursday's semifinals, Bartoli faces 20th-seeded Kirsten Flipkens, who defeated 2011 Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova.

Verlander roughed up, Tigers routed by Rangers
Ace gives up eight runs over 2 2/3 frames in opener of four-game set
ARLINGTON -- Justin Verlander has made more memorable starts in his career than he can count. This wasn't one of them.
Thursday night's uncharacteristic performance by the Tigers' ace falls under the category of completely forgettable, and the sooner the better.
Billed as a stellar matchup of marquee superstar pitchers -- Verlander for Detroit and Texas' supernova Yu Darvish -- the opener of a four-game series between division leaders didn't exactly unfold according to expectations.
Torpedoed by the Rangers' seven-run third, Verlander failed to complete at least three innings for only the fourth time in his career. Darvish wasn't his sharpest either, but as has become the norm when he's on the mound, the Texas bats boomed and the Rangers stormed to a 10-4 victory at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.
"It was one of those games where everyone in the world was looking for the matchup and it didn't work out so good," manager Jim Leyland said. "I don't think anyone expected 12 runs to be scored with those two guys out there. These things happen."
They just don't usually happen with Verlander on the mound.
"I'm not going to go home and pout about this," said Verlander, who lost his second straight start. "I'm going to figure this out -- and fast."
Darvish, who threw a career-high 130 pitches over eight innings, lifted his record to 7-1.
Verlander's performance was littered with unexplainable lowlights. It was only the sixth time he's coughed up eight or more runs in 241 career starts, the last time coming Aug. 28 last season in a 9-8 loss to the Royals. On 160 previous bases-loaded occasions, Verlander had issued only three walks to force in runs. He did it twice in the same inning Thursday night.
"I just had too many poorly executed pitches," Verlander said. "Something's not right, and it's consistency in repeating my delivery. It helps knowing that I'm someone who can turn things around quickly."
The Rangers were delighted to take advantage of Verlander's unusual off-night.
"Verlander was a little wild in the third inning and we didn't chase him outside the zone," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "We made him come into the zone. He didn't have command of his fastball and we didn't chase it. I've never seen him not being able to command that fastball."
What made the spectacle even more garish was Verlander's previous exceptional work against the offensively talented Rangers over the years, and particularly in the Texas ballpark.
The big right-hander, who was honored with both the American League MVP and Cy Young Awards in 2011, came in with a 7-2 record and 2.02 ERA in 11 starts against Texas. He had been even better in the Lone Star State, posting a 3-0 mark and 1.29 ERA in four starts at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.
When he strolled to the mound for the bottom of the third, Verlander was already protecting a 3-1 lead, built on Don Kelly's leadoff home run and sacrifice flies by Torii Hunter and Victor Martinez as Darvish labored through a 36-pitch third inning.
Besides two bases-loaded walks, the real pain came on a two-run double by Mitch Moreland on an 0-2 pitch and a three-run home run by Geovany Soto to cap the inning.
"He made a horrible pitch to Moreland," Leyland said. "That was the killer pitch. He left a slider right there, up, when it was no ball and two strikes.
"The positive out of this game is that I won't have to hear anymore about his velocity. He threw two 99-mph fastballs. We don't have to worry about whether he's got the velocity or not."
In fact, Verlander made a point of saying that he is completely healthy, that he should have done what Darvish did and pitched out of trouble in the third and that he knows exactly where to find the answers to his troubles.
"It's going to be in the bullpen," Verlander said. "I think I've been tinkering a little too much. It's time to get back to basics."
"It's not easy to sit here and digest. I've been spoiled the last couple of years by being in pretty good sync with my delivery. I know one thing: I'll get it back and I'll get it back in a hurry."

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650
It's a "tick" year for Intel. If you follow processors, you'll know that means any new Intel chips in 2007 will lay the foundation for major advances to come, but won't introduce any game-changing leaps in performance like those you see in a "tock" year. Intel's new Core 2 Extreme QX9650 quad-core CPU represents that "tick." It's the first of what's sure to be a flood of Intel chips manufactured with a more power-efficient method. The result actually does bring some performance gains over Intel's previous flagship processor, making the very high-end QX9650 the performance CPU of choice when it hits the street on November 12, with an expected price of $999. You would still be reasonable to wait for Intel's 2008 "tock" chips, or even AMD's forthcoming quad-core chips, due out in a few months. But if you need a new PC now for gaming, digital-media creation, or other processor-intensive purposes, this is the CPU we'd choose to anchor that system.
The general implication of a "tick" is that it signals a move to a new manufacturing process. Intel built all of its previous Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, and Core 2 Extreme chips with a 65-nanometer (nm) design, nanometers referring to the size of an individual transistor on each chip. The QX9650 is the first consumer CPU built with a 45nm design, which allows room for more transistors and thus more processing capability than a 65nm chip. The smaller process also means less space between the transistors, so the electrical current that flows between them doesn't need to travel as far, which makes the 45nm chips more power efficient. They also generate less heat, since it doesn't need as much energy to do the same amount of work as a 65nm chip.
With the generally more-efficient design, Intel has made the QX9650 an improved chip over this summer's 65nm Core 2 Extreme QX6850. Here's a rundown of their basic specs:
|Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650
|Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850
|Clock speed
|L2 cache
|2 x 6MB
|2 x 4MB
|Front-side bus
The more-efficient design of the QX9650 let Intel give its new chip a larger pool of L2 cache to draw from. The cache is basically a way station for data to be processed. The more each chip can bite off at once, the less time it has to spend acquiring the date in the first place. The results are immediate performance gains for the newer CPU across all of CNET Labs benchmark tests.

Landler Portrays Obama's Aggressive, Big-Spending Partisanship As 'Populist'
New York Times White House correspondent Mark Landler followed President Obama out West on what certainly felt like a partisan campaign tour. Landler acknowledged Obama's partisanship and 'acidic words' for the G.O.P., but also protected the president's right flank by characterizing his appeals for higher taxes and his class rhetoric as 'populist,' not liberal, and by failing to correct the false impression Obama gave of shameful audience behavior at two Republican presidential debates.
Landler led off his Tuesday piece, 'After Feisty Fund-Raising, a More Sociable Obama,' with a focus on the media's new favorite rich guy, Doug Edwards.
President Obama met his dream date on Monday at a town hall meeting in Silicon Valley: a balding, soft-spoken former Google employee who said he was so rich he did not have to work anymore and begged Mr. Obama to raise his taxes.
'I'm unemployed by choice,' said the man, Doug Edwards, who confirmed later that he was the 59th person hired by Google and had written a book titled 'I'm Feeling Lucky.' 'My question,' he said, addressing the president, 'is would you please raise my taxes?'
Mr. Obama, who has spent much of this campaign-style trip to the West Coast inveighing against Republicans and the unfairness of the tax code, suggested he would gladly oblige.
'Right now, we've got the lowest tax rates we've had since the 1950s, and some of the Republican proposals would take it back, as a percentage of G.D.P., to where we were in the 1920s,' Mr. Obama said at the meeting, held by the social media site LinkedIn.
That swipe at the opposition was mild compared with the acidic words the president used in a series of fund-raisers on Sunday, when he ridiculed Gov. Rick Perry of Texas for questioning the science of climate change and scolded audiences at recent Republican presidential debates for being hardhearted.
Landler worked in a strange crack about a Facebook town hall meeting held with Republicans:
In what might be called antisocial networking, Facebook held a town hall meeting in Palo Alto hours after Mr. Obama's appearance, with three House Republican leaders and bitter antagonists of the president: Eric Cantor of Virginia, Kevin McCarthy of California, and Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin, author of the Republican budget plan.
Facebook's chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, who introduced Mr. Obama warmly at her home on Sunday, moderated the meeting with these self-described 'Young Guns,' who were eager to discuss technology, innovation and growth.
Landler later failed to challenge Obama's characterization of Republicans allegedly booing a gay soldier or cheering the death of a hypothetical man lacking health insurance at two recent Republican presidential debates.
And he singled out Republican debate audiences for booing a gay soldier who had served in Iraq and for cheering the suggestion that a gravely ill man without health insurance be allowed to die.
'That's not reflective of who we are,' Mr. Obama declared. 'At some level, we've always believed, you know what, that we're not defined by our differences. We're bound together.'
Obama's words are also not reflective of the 'audiences' booing and cheering. Both instances involved two to three hecklers at most within the large live audiences. But no one at the Times apparently watched the Republican debates, given the failure of the paper's journalists and columnists to report the details correctly.
Lander followed the president to Denver and characterized Obama's hard-driving, big-spending attitude as "populist," not liberal: 'Seizing Populist Mantle, Obama Pushes Jobs Bill.'
After two days of energetically raising money in the rarefied precincts of Hollywood and Silicon Valley, President Obama stopped at a big-city high school here on Tuesday to push for new ways to spend money.
Promoting his $450 billion jobs bill, Mr. Obama said the $25 billion in the legislation for repairing and renovating schools would allow Abraham Lincoln High School, a well-kept but aging institution, to update science laboratories of a 1960s vintage.
'My question to Congress is: What on earth are we waiting for? Let's get to work,' Mr. Obama said to a boisterous crowd of students. Speaking in shirtsleeves under a baking sun, he asked: 'Why should our students be allowed to study in crumbling, outdated schools? How does that give them the sense that education is important?'
Reprising the populist themes of recent speeches in Ohio, North Carolina and Virginia, Mr. Obama repeatedly challenged Republicans to pass the jobs bill. Extending the cut in payroll taxes would put $1,700 into the pockets of a typical Colorado working family, Mr. Obama said, and refusing to do so would amount to hitting them with a tax increase. Cries of 'pass the bill' competed with chants of 'four more years.'
Far from rejecting the Republican accusation that he is waging class warfare, Mr. Obama now seems to revel in it.

Former Champ Kenseth To Leave Roush Fenway
Roush Fenway Racing announced today that 2011 NASCAR Nationwide Series champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. will compete for the team full-time in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series competition beginning in 2013, while Matt Kenseth and Roush Fenway will part ways at the conclusion of the 2012 season.
"Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has more than proved his abilities on the race track," said team co-owner Jack Roush. "We feel that he is not only a key piece of our team's future, but a key piece of the future of the sport. Roush Fenway is an organization with a wonderful past and present, as well as an extremely promising future, and I can't think of a better candidate than Ricky to usher in the next era of success for the team."
Kenseth is the current Sprint Cup points leader. He won the series championship in 2003. He finished secoind in points in 2006.
The native of Cambridge, Wis., has won the Daytona 500 twice – including this year's.
"Of course, I'd like to thank Matt Kenseth for his many years of loyal service," Roush said. "Matt has been an integral part of this organization for well over a decade, and we are extremely appreciative of his accomplishments and contributions to the team, and will always consider him a part of the Roush Fenway family.
"We're fortunate that we were able to tap into Matt's potential and bring him on board many years ago, and I'm proud that together we were able to combine the tools and the resources of Roush Fenway with his talent and determination to forge a partnership that yielded a championship at the Cup level and all of his 22 Cup victories, including two Daytona 500 wins. The No. 17 is positioned extremely well this season, and I'm committed to providing the team the best resources to continue their run for the 2012 championship. I have no doubt that Matt will do his part."
Rumors swept the garages at Sonoma Raceway over the weekend that Kenseth was talking to other team.
RFR has been unable to secure full time sponsorship for Kenseth's No. 17 Ford this year.
"Matt and I broke into this sport together, learned the ropes and were able to bring home a championship," said Roush Fenway general manager Robbie Reiser, who as crew chief of the No. 17 guided Kenseth to Roush Fenway's first Sprint Cup title in 2003 before moving into his current role. "Over the 20 years we have worked with each other, Matt has been a fierce competitor and become a close friend, not only for me, but as a mentor to young drivers like Ricky. I wish Matt nothing but the best for the next phase of his career, and know that we'll remain close."
There was no immediate reaction from Kenseth.
Nor did Roush discuss reasons for the split.
Stenhouse Jr. is one of three drivers currently in development for Roush Fenway Racing. Trevor Bayne, the 2011 Daytona 500 champion and Chris Buescher, who has won seven races in only 42 starts in ARCA competition are also being groomed for Sprint Cup competition for Roush Fenway in the future.
"We take great pride in the depth of the bench here," noted team president Steve Newmark. "The organization's ability to identify and develop new talent is part of our DNA and a cornerstone of our success. I'm excited about the opportunity to bring Ricky into the Sprint Cup Series and get him into victory lane. He has an incredible opportunity to continue his winning ways, just as Matt did nearly 15 years ago."
Jamie Allison of Ford Racing said, "All of us at Ford are certainly disappointed to hear that Matt will be leaving, and he will be certainly missed by us and the Ford Racing fans. We are thankful for Matt's winning efforts and championship-caliber success with the Roush and Ford racing programs these past 16 years, both on and off the track."2 Comments

Megabus from Pittsburgh gets wedged at New York City bus terminal ramp
Authorities are investigating how a double-decker bus from Pittsburgh to New York got wedged on a ramp at the Port Authority bus terminal in Manhattan.
Megabus spokesman Mike Alvich says two passengers were treated for minor injuries following the incident Tuesday morning.
Alvich says the bus was supposed to stop at Seventh Avenue and 28th Street, not at the terminal. It was coming out of the Lincoln Tunnel when it got stuck in the West 40th Street ramp.
The bus left Pittsburgh at 11:45 p.m. Monday and stopped in State College at 2:50 a.m. Tuesday, en route to its scheduled 8:30 a.m. arrival in New York.
A spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said the bus driver was issued a ticket, and two people were treated at the scene for minor injuries.

ROCHESTER — With the newest addition to downtown, Lilac City residents now have healthier meal options for breakfast and lunch.
The Two Toads sub shop opened its doors on Jan. 28, in the Dynasty Plaza on Signal Street.
Darlene Rines, who co-owns the shop with her husband, Warren Rines, and sister, Jamie McCulloch, said the food at Two Toads is made with love, and "that's why it tastes so good."
Since opening about a week ago, the owners of the shop keep hearing the same question — where did the name "Two Toads" come from?
According to Rines, "two toads" was the nickname her father used for Rines and her sister, McCulloch.
Rines' and McCulloch's father, who died about 10 years ago, had always dreamed of opening his own sub shop. Now, the two sisters are carrying out their father's dream by offering healthier food options for area residents.
Each day, Two Toads offers different homemade meals — such as chicken broccoli Alfredo, lasagna, and sheperd's pie — which customers can take home. The shop also offers subs, paninis, and large salads, as well as breakfast foods.
Some of the biggest sellers at Two Toads are whoopie pies, the upside down pineapple cupcakes, as well as caprese paninis. Rines said the steak-and-cheese and Italian subs have been "flying out the door."
The meat at Two Toads comes from Sanford Butcher Shop in Maine. It comes from farm-raised, grass-fed animals, and uses no hormones.
Before Two Toads officially opened its doors, the shop space, which used to house a laundry before sitting empty for years, had to be completely renovated, said Rines. She said a family friend, Mike McNeil, of Barrington, volunteered his time doing all the woodworking at the business and creating the shop almost from scratch.
The location of the shop, said McCulloch, is "fabulous."
Rines said the area has lots of foot traffic, and many customers have already strolled into the shop, looking for tasty and healthy meal choices.
"The community had been welcoming us with open arms," said Rines. "We want to know everybody's name. I want everybody to feel like they're part of the Two Toads family."
Rines said that in the next couple years, she and McCulloch would like to start a Two Toads restaurant, which would serve breakfast and lunch. The restaurant would be in addition to the sub shop.

07/08/2010 // Chicago, IL, USA // Cooney & Conway // Mesothelioma attorneys: Cooney & Conway
(Mesothelioma News) – Plans by the Quebec provincial government to finance expansion of the Jeffrey Mine in the town of Asbestos, named for its most valuable asset, have spurred outcries across the globe. Protesters are citing concerns long known to medical researchers and mesothelioma lawyers: Asbestos exposure can cause grave health problems, including forms of cancer that are almost always fatal.
As conceived, the new underground mine would generate some 200,000 tons of asbestos a year starting in 2010. Most of that asbestos—a heat- and fire-resistant material that had been widely used in the Canadian and U.S. construction industries before it was linked to significant health risks—would be exported to developing countries.
Protests in South Korea, Hong Kong, Belgium, and several U.S. cities underscore the severity of asbestos-related diseases.
Exposure to asbestos can trigger lung cancer as well as mesothelioma, a cancer of the protective lining covering many of the body's internal organs. Though it can take years—even decades—to develop, mesothelioma is incurable in almost all cases.
While the risks of inhaling asbestos fibers have long been known, manufacturers, employers, and property owners have often been negligent in using or removing asbestos, failing to provide sufficient protective gear or warning, or taking appropriate preventive steps. That's resulted in unnecessary deaths—and countless asbestos lawsuits.
Over the years, mesothelioma lawyers have had great success in obtaining large verdicts and settlements, often in the multimillion-dollar range, for victims of asbestos-related diseases. But medical researchers have not made equal strides. A diagnosis of mesothelioma is as grim today as it was decades ago—a fact not lost on the demonstrators.
In Hong Kong, protestors assembled outside the Canadian consulate to call for a ban on asbestos exports from Canada to Asia. Asbestos mining—let alone its expansion—is a hot-button topic in the Asian city, due to its increasingly troubling experience with mesothelioma.
"Hong Kong itself is in the midst of an asbestos disease epidemic," according to the Asia Monitor Resource Center—a labor organization in the former British dependency. "Many workers continue to die every year due to lung cancers and mesothelioma—a deadly lung cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. Due to its long latency period, sometimes over 30 years, the asbestos-related diseases will continue to kill exposed populations for many years more."
In Seoul, demonstrators gathered outside both the Quebec trade office and the Canadian embassy. They, too, called on Quebec not just to stop the asbestos mine's expansion—which is to be funded in large part by a $58 million loan guarantee from the Quebec government—but to close the Canada's mines permanently.
Similar protests were held in Brussels; Washington, D.C.; and New York City, while a California-based asbestos victims group urged Ottawa, the Canadian capital, to oppose the loan guarantees.
"After a century of knowledge concerning the health effects of asbestos and its devastating trail of disease and death around the world," [this] initiative by Canada is a giant misstep backwards," said Richard Leman, former assistant surgeon general of the United States and cochair of the science advisory board for the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization.
Meanwhile, a member of the European Parliament, Stephen Hughes, has urged the European Commission to lodge a complaint with the World Trade Organization claiming that Quebec's loan guarantee would contravene WTO rules.
In Canada, the expansion of the Jeffrey asbestos mine is seen from another perspective. Local organizations in the town of Asbestos—viewing increased operations of the mine as a boon to the faltering local economy and employment—have raised $2 million to help finance the project.
But protestors, mesothelioma lawyers, and medical researchers worry that increased asbestos mining could be a boon to something else, too: needless disease, death, and tragedy.
This news story was brought to you by the mesothelioma lawyers at Cooney & Conway. For more than half a century, we've brought relief—and recovery—to those injured by the negligence or harmful actions of others. In the process, we've litigated some of the country's most significant asbestos lawsuits, helping victims of mesothelioma, lung cancer, and other asbestos-related diseases get answers—and justice.
