Captain Harlock (キャプテン・ハーロック Kyaputen Hārokku?) (also known as "Captain Herlock" for the English release of Endless Odyssey and as "Albator" in the French-speaking countries) is a fictional character created by manga artist Leiji Matsumoto.
Harlock is the archetypical Romantic hero, a space pirate with an individualist philosophy of life. He is as noble as he is taciturn, rebellious, stoically fighting against totalitarian regimes, whether they be earthborn or alien. In his own words, he "fight[s] for no one's sake... only for something deep in [his] heart". He does not fear death, and is sometimes seen wearing clothing with the number 42 on it. In Japanese culture, the number 42 is associated with death (the numbers, pronounced separately as "four two", sound like the words "shi ni"—meaning "to death").
The character is introduced in Adventures of a Honeybee (1953), but did not make its debut as lead character until 1978's Space Pirate Captain Harlock. Since then, the character has appeared in numerous animated TV series and films, the latest of which being 2013's Space Pirate Captain Harlock, and re-imagined as an Iron Cross-decorated WW2 Luftwaffe fighter pilot and a gunslinger in the American Old West.
Though there are slight variations in each telling of Harlock's story, the essentials remain the same. Matsumoto presents a future in which the Earth has achieved a vast starfaring civilization, but is slowly and steadily succumbing to ennui or despair, often due to defeat and subjugation by a foreign invader. Rising against the general apathy, Harlock denies defeat and leads an outlaw crew aboard his starship Arcadia to undertake daring raids against Earth's oppressors. Even though they have defeated Earth and devastated its peoples, the invaders are often presented in a sympathetic light, being shown as having some justification for their actions.
Space Pirate Captain Harlock[edit]
In Space Pirate Captain Harlock, the Captain's crew included the mysterious, alcohol-imbibing alien woman Miime, a robot, and a drunken doctor. The series presented a story arc in which a huge black metal sphere strikes Tokyo and ancient Mayan legends appear to be walking the Earth again. The invaders turn out to be the Mazone, a race of plant-based women who explored Earth in the mythic past and are now back to reclaim it. Only Harlock and his mismatched crew are brave and capable enough to face the enemy.
Captain Harlock - Mystery of the Arcadia[edit]
This 1978 short film is ostensibly a retelling of Episode 13 of the 1978 series, 'The Witch's Ocean Castle of Death'. Comprising primarily of recycled footage taken from this same episode, but presented in widescreen format. Some new alternate footage is added at the beginning of the story, and some soundtrack adjustments were made throughout.
Arcadia of My Youth[edit]
The Arcadia of My Youth feature film was released on July 28, 1982. The film, set in a different continuity from the original TV series, chronicles Harlock's beginnings as a space pirate and his acquisition of the spaceship Arcadia. The movie also includes flashback material dealing with two of his 20th-century ancestors. The film was followed by 22 episodes of the TV series Endless Road/Orbit SSX (French title:Albator 84) starting in October 1982. The series dealt with Harlock and company's continuing struggle against the Illumidas occupying force, who still retained control of Earth at the end of the theatrical feature. Both film and second series feature a newly designed starship and lack most of the crew from the Space Pirate series, but are noteworthy for the presence of Emeraldas, a female counterpart to Harlock who originally appeared in a series of Matsumoto-penned graphic novels.
Harlock Saga[edit]
In the 1990s, Matsumoto released Harlock Saga, a mini-series based on Das Rheingold. The series recasts the Captain and his crew in roles with analogues in The Ring Cycle and pits them against a race of "gods" set on redesigning the universe to their liking.
Gun Frontier[edit]
On March 28, 2002 Gun Frontier, a buddy comedy set in the American Old West, began broadcasting in TV Tokyo. The series follows Franklin Harlock Jr. and Tochiro Ōyama as they search for a lost clan of Japanese immigrants. In contrast to other works, Harlock appears here as Tochiro's sidekick.
Endless Odyssey[edit]
December 2002 saw the release of Space Pirate Captain Herlock: The Endless Odyssey,[1] directed by Rintaro.
The story is set after the original TV series, with Herlock on a self-imposed exile and his crew either in jail or flying under the Jolly Roger. The series details Herlock's return and his round-up of the Arcadia crew for a fight against the Noo, a mysterious and ancient evil which has caused the Earth to disappear, and who use fear to conquer their foes. As nearly every part of this series is geared to be a sequel to the original Captain Herlock TV series, Endless Odyssey reintroduces Tadashi Daiba to the Arcadia.
Space Pirate Captain Harlock Movie[edit]
On March 24, 2010, Toei Animation announced the release of the new Harlock movie, they announced a completed pilot for its planned computer-graphics remake of Leiji Matsumoto and Toei's Space Pirate Captain Harlock manga and anime franchise, and it has revealed a preliminary image and the project's staff. Mobile Suit Gundam UC author Harutoshi Fukui, Appleseed director Shinji Aramaki, Appleseed mechanical designer Atsushi Takeuchi, and Ninja Scroll character designer Yutaka Minowa worked on the new Space Pirate Captain Harlock pilot with Marza Animation Planet (formerly known as Sega Sammy Visual Entertainment).[2]
The official trailer/pilot was aired at the Kawaii-Kon Anime festival in Hawaii on April 17, 2010, as a special presentation courtesy of Director Shinji Aramaki. This is the first time it has been seen/aired in the United States. The CG animated film is tentatively schedule for international release in 2012.
On January 31, 2013 during the presentation of its upcoming film lineup, Toei announced that the anime will be out in Fall 2013. According to the news source Oricon, this film has Toei Animation's highest production budget ever at the equivalent of over 30 million U.S. dollars. [3][4]
The film premiered in Japan on September 7, 2013.[5]
Fictional character biography[edit]
Captain Harlock and his world have been developed and occasionally re-developed as Matsumoto changes his conceptions about them. The original 1978 Captain Harlock television series was conceived as an independent, standalone work.
When Harlock appears in Arcadia of My Youth feature film the sequel TV series Endless Road SSX, his back story was significantly changed. He was a military officer before he became a space pirate, the circumstances of which were related in the film. This was also the only on-screen incarnation in which Harlock was married. The death of his wife Maya at the hands of Earth's alien conquerors plays a large part in turning Harlock from unconquered space captain to brooding space pirate. The backgrounds of other major characters, such as fellow pirate Emeraldas and best friend Tochrio Oyama, were also altered in accordance with Harlock's new backstory.
When Matsumoto's works again became popular in the 1990s and he began to pen the Harlock Saga manga, he changed the backdrop of Harlock and his universe. This time it was based in part on Wagner's Ring cycle and required significant reworking of almost every one of Matsumoto's stock stable of characters in order to make the story fit. He is only a teenager when the Earth is conquered and his father Great Harlock is the first to take up the "fight for freedom" touched upon in Arcadia of My Youth. As of 2007, this is the version of Harlock that Matsumoto considers in continuity. Harlock's appearance in Space Symphony Maetel tries to consolidate previous adaptations of the character.
Supporting characters[edit]
Tochirō Ōyama (大山トチロー Ōyama Tochirō?). Harlock's old friend and the architect and chief builder of the Arcadia. He died of illness prior to the events of the series, but his consciousness survives within the ship's computer.
Emeraldas. A space pirate much like Harlock, she bears a scar under her left eye.
Mayu Ōyama (大山まゆ Ōyama Mayu?). The daughter of Tochirō Ōyama and Emeraldas. Harlock takes her under his wing following Tochirō's death and Emeraldas' departure, but she is unable to remain with Harlock due to Tochirō's wish that she remain on Earth.
Miime/Mime/Mimay/Melody, a female alien harpist serving on board the Arcadia as Harlock's adviser and source of morale. Her body design resembles a slender humanoid female with purple hair, blue skin, and yellow pupil-less eyes. Her face has no apparent mouth, although she can speak and somehow absorb liquid by pouring it where her mouth should be. Miime requires alcohol as her single (non-intoxicating) nutrient; ingesting it causes her body to give off a bright yellow light. Miime's talents include mental and emotional empathy to sentient beings, a trait she uses medicinally as member of the sickbay staff. During moments of violence/trepidation she plays a lap harp, her music instilling serenity to her onboard colleagues, particularly Harlock. Her race was apparently exterminated when the planet's indigenous flora became ambulatory predators after exposure to radioactivity. The Captain and crew saved her from her world's fate, predicating her eternal loyalty to the Arcadia's captain even to the point of risking her life to ensure Harlock's safety.
Professor Tsuyoshi Daiba. Tadashi Daiba's father, an astronomer and scientist. He was one of the few scientists who saw the aliens' threat and attempted to warn Earth's government before he was killed by the Mazone. Tadashi, affected by his father's murder, joined the Arcadia crew to seek his revenge.
Mitsuru Kiruda (切田 満 Kiruda Mitsuru?). The leader of Earth's defense forces, he is Harlock's sworn enemy and will stop at nothing to try to eliminate him. Earlier in his life, Kiruta suffered the loss of his father, a government secret agent, during an ill-fated mission, followed by his mother and his younger sister Tami. Blaming the government for his family's death, he rose through the military ranks in order to effect change for the better and, like Professor Daiba before him, tried in vain to warn the Earth government of the Mazone invasion. Kiruda eventually puts his grudge with Harlock aside and sacrifices himself defending the Arcadia's main computer against Mazone troopers.
Kei, is a top officer on the Arcadia and loyal crew member.
Reception and cultural impact[edit]
Harlock has achieved notable popularity. In 1979, the character won the first annual Anime Grand Prix for favorite character.[6] In 2006, Harlock and the characters of Galaxy Express 999 were recognized in the third set of "Anime Heroes and Heroines" stamps.[7] Harlock was ranked fourth in Mania Entertainment's 10 Most Iconic Anime Heroes written by Thomas Zoth who commented that "as befitting his archetype status, Harlock has inspired many other manga and anime characters with his strong, stoic appearance and manner."[8]
Several anime and manga characters have been, in some way, inspired by Matsumoto's creation. Naoko Takeuchi drew inspiration from Harlock's stoic qualities ("strong, silent, unshakeable") when designing the character of Tuxedo Mask,[9] while Last Exile's Alex Row was modeled after the Captain.[10] His basic character design is even thought to be a source of inspiration for Osamu Tezuka's manga character Black Jack. A parody of Harlock also appears in Project A-ko.
Adaptations in other media[edit]
- Eternity Comics, an imprint of Malibu Comics, produced an American comic book series based on Captain Harlock. It was written by Robert W. Gibson and illustrated by Ben Dunn and Tim Eldred. The storyline allegedly started two years after the events in Arcadia of My Youth but ignores the events in Endless Road SSX while still borrowing elements from them. The comics discontinued in 1992 after it was discovered that Malibu did not have the rights to use Captain Harlock. Reportedly, the alleged representative for the rights to Harlock with whom Malibu exchanged money turned out to be fraudulent and was in no way connected to the rights holders.
- In April 2008, Eight Peaks, a South Korean production company, announced that it had signed a joint production contract with Japan's Genome Entertainment to produce a live-action film based on Captain Harlock. Original creator Leiji Matsumoto expressed concern with the project, as neither company had approached him for consent to make the film.[11]
Other appearances[edit]
- Captain Harlock, or characters indistinguishable from him, have made frequent "unbilled cameo" appearances in many other works of Leiji Matsumoto, including Galaxy Express 999, Queen Emeraldas, and Galaxy Railways as the joker in a deck of playing cards.
- Captain Harlock was originally intended to appear in Space Battleship Yamato during their return voyage from Iscandar. The idea was dropped for a number of reasons which probably included the fact that the rights to Yamato were at the time owned by executive producer Yoshinobu Nishizaki. This idea evolved into simply finding Mamoru Kodai (Alex Wildstar) alive on Iscandar. The idea was still used later in a Yamato manga by Matsumoto where Yamato later encounters Mamoru who assumed the false identity of Captain Harlock (as revealed when hero Susumu Kodai finds a copy of a Captain Harlock manga among his supposedly dead brother's belongings).
- In 2001, Cosmo Warrior Zero presented a version of the story in which Captain Zero, a human veteran of the Earth-Mechanized war, is commanded by the Machine Men, who won the war and now rule Earth, to hunt down the Space Pirate who is still resisting the invaders. This series focuses on Zero and his misfit crew as they take on the hopeless mission, fighting a more skilled enemy who also may be more justified in his actions than they are. Harlock, Tochiro and Emeraldas put in mostly supporting guest appearances, and are shown as being slightly younger than their previous incarnations.
- In the Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay tabletop games, the legendary Rogue Trader Solomon Haarlock is presumably named after Captain Harlock and Robert E. Howard's Solomon Kane. Another member of the Haarlock Dynasty, Erasmus Haarlock, bears a number of physical similarities to Captain Harlock: the long, wild hair, a missing right eye (a cybernetic replacement rather than just an eyepatch) and scars around his left eye.
- In an Episode of Megas XLR, a ship with a captain similar to Harlock invites Coop and the gang aboard his ship.
- Glenn Danzig would often wear a Captain Harlock skull and crossbones T-shirt when he played in The Misfits.
- Electronic music producer, James Spinney, uses "DJ Harlock" as his alias for production and live performances, and is known for loosely using themes in his tracks that echo Matsumoto's work with Daft Punk.
- ^ The word "herlock" is derived from the Anglo-Saxon "hoarlocke," meaning "one with gray hair." Both "Harlock" and "Herlock" are common translations of the Japanese name into Roman script and both have been used in both Japan and America. "Harlock" has been used more often, but some recent American releases have used the "Herlock" spelling.

Faculty Training | |
By sblankenship | 4 Aug 2010 |
Fourteen participants attended a Living Free Faculty Training Workshop, which was held on July 19th and 20th, 2010, in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Participation in the workshop is part of the process for one to become a certified trainer of Living Free.
It was exciting to have people present who are involved in a variety of ministries here in the United States and around the world. One woman attended the Living Free Faculty Training Workshop so that she could use Living Free in her own church and in a prison ministry she is involved in.
Two directors of Faith Bridge Foster Care in Alpharetta, Georgia, plan to use Living Free in ministering to biological and foster parents, and one of the current foster parents plans to use the Living Free material as well. Another attendee plans to use Living Free in a Teen Challenge ministry based in Swaziland. The director of Teen Challenge in Africa was also with us; his plans include training others so that more Teen Challenge ministries can be established in this area of the world. A missionary, who serves in Jordan, is looking forward to his opportunity to present the Living Free material to the Christians in Jordan.
We are so thankful that people want to be trained. It is a joy to be able to listen to the participants share their hearts and vision for the Living Free materials.

Posted by a Family client,
I would not recomment this attorney if you have a family law matter such as divorce, custody, placment and child support especially if you are a woman. I hired Gwen to represent me concerning family law matters and I am sorry I did. I did not find her to be a strong advocate nor that she advised me properly concerning my case. I feel I paid her a lot of money and she did very little for me. She would actually defend my children's father in our conversations regarding him and my case and he had his own attorney. I found that she talked in "circles" and down to me as her client instead of advocating for me and advising me regarding my legal issues. I also found her billing to be dishonest and questionable at times. It seems she has received high ratings as an attorney in regards to consumer law, but i absolutely would not recommend hiring her as a family law attorney. I have met with and hired other family law attorneys since her and gotten much better legal advice, insight and respect than i ever got from Gwen. Do not hire her as your attorney if you are a mother and need representation and counsel in a family law matter. I do not think she is a good advocate for women.

So that was 10 days ago? Depending on the expiration date when you bought it, it's not unreasonable that today it has started to mold.
Posted by Skye on 2012-01-03:
What is the expiration date? If you are still within the limit, return it to Target.
Posted by Anna Molly on 2012-01-03:
How did you determine that it is fungus on the chocolate? Is it whitish? If so, it is possible the chocolate went through some temperature changes, and the fat separated from the chocolate, giving it that whitish appearance. I know it's not pretty, but it's still safe to eat.
Posted by madconsumer on 2012-01-03:
i would take it back to target, they should never sell any product this way.
you did good by not eating it.
Posted by Anna Molly on 2012-01-03:
Yes, Target should take it back as a return.
Perhaps they should open all the chocolate wrappers and inspect the chocolate as it is delivered to the store, before selling them, to make sure this doesn't happen again, right Madc?
Posted by trmn8r on 2012-01-03:
Or, the cashiers could open each container at the checkout, and that way Target could be certain to never sell a product this way. That would work. Or course, it may develop this condition a week later. Hmmm.
Target should take this back, assuming it isn't way past its expiration date.
Posted by Churro on 2012-01-03:
A Hershey bar has about a year shelf life and then some. I doubt seriously in ten days it so tolled the expiration date as to cause the condition described by the OP. It was more than likely caused by improper handling by Target. A refund or exchange is definitely in order.
Posted by Anonymous on 2012-01-03:
A quick Google search has confirmed that chocolate can't get moldy. Anna's comment best describes why chocolate gets a whitish appearance.
Posted by Churro on 2012-01-03:
A quick google shows some say chocolate can get moldy while others say it can't. I have no idea if it they can or not but what ever the case the OP got sold a less than ideal product.
Posted by Anonymous on 2012-01-03:
I love it when you argue with me, churro the burro
Posted by lexophiliac on 2012-01-03:
It is what is added to the chocolate that can develop mold.
Posted by Venice09 on 2012-01-03:
What is a dairy milk chocolate? Maybe the OP bought a chocolate drink?
I have never, ever, seen mold or fungus on chocolate. But it can turn white, as Anna explained. That's probably what happened. And it is harmless.
Posted by Churro on 2012-01-03:
It's a chocolate bar.
Posted by Venice09 on 2012-01-03:
Nowhere does the review say "bar". I've never heard of a chocolate bar referred to as "dairy milk".
Posted by Churro on 2012-01-03:
"Dairy Milk is a brand of milk chocolate currently manufactured by Cadbury; except in the United States where it is made by The Hershey Company"
Now you've heard of it.
Posted by Anonymous on 2012-01-03:
Nice Google ya got there, churro
Posted by Venice09 on 2012-01-04:
Nowhere is Cadbury mentioned either. I think that would have been an important piece of information. When I first read this review, Hershey's chocolate milk drink was the first thing that came to mind.
Posted by Churro on 2012-01-04:
Well there is a candy bar manufactured by Hershey's called 'Dairy Milk' and there is no milk drink manufactured by Hershey's called 'Dairy Milk'. Also if you read the review the OP stated, "when I opened to eat it", which would be an odd thing to say about a chocolate drink.
Posted by Anonymous on 2012-01-04:
Churro you're so smart. I'd marry you if you were single
Posted by Venice09 on 2012-01-04:
If a person didn't know there was a candy bar manufactured by Hershey called "Dairy Milk", they would not know it was the subject of this review.
People say a lot of odd things. Using the word "eat" when meaning drink is insignificant.
Posted by Anonymous on 2012-01-04:
I thought they were referring to a chocolate drink too, Venice. That's why I immediately thought of the expiration date considering they'd purchased it 10 days prior to opening it.
Posted by Venice09 on 2012-01-04:
That's why I think it would have been helpful to mention Cadbury somewhere in the review. I just think it's unclear as written.
Posted by Churro on 2012-01-04:
Right Venice that's why when you asked I informed you it was a candy bar. Then I further informed you about the product name and gave you a link to boot.
It was a candy bar.
Posted by Venice09 on 2012-01-04:
A review isn't helpful unless you know what product it's referring to. In this case, I had no idea. If there were no comments posted, I would still be in the dark.
Posted by Churro on 2012-01-04:
Well when I first read it I assumed it was a candy bar although I did think the product wording was kind of odd. When the question was asked I merely googled it out of curiosity and then it was crystal clear. The OP was correct in the wording it was my ignorance that made it appear odd. The cool thing though I learned Hershey manufactures Cadbury in the USA. Something I didn't know until this review. That makes it helpful in my book.
Posted by Venice09 on 2012-01-04:
This review has one helpful vote, so I guess you're the only one.
The funny thing is, you are not one hundred percent sure the OP is referring to Cadbury.
Posted by Churro on 2012-01-04:
Yes I am Venice.
Posted by Venice09 on 2012-01-04:
Yes, I know. You were the only helpful vote at the time of my last post.
Posted by Churro on 2012-01-04:
That's not true either Venice. I marked it helpful after your comment. This is getting really silly. I was merely trying to answer your question. My bad.

TEDx hosted by Xavier University for second year
Tuesday, March 26, 2013
, an independently organized intellectual conference licensed by the
global TED event
, will be hosted by Xavier University at the Cintas Center on April 17. Last year's premiere of
was met with great success, and this year's event will include a multitude of speakers.
TEDx was started to mimic the larger TED's format with multiple speakers, demonstrators and performers who seek to share "ideas worth spreading." Nicholas Turon took on the lead role in organizing this year's event with Xavier students who study the full spectrum of academic disciplines.
"I love TED and everything it stands for," says Turon, who studies music education. "This is something we can be proud of. We've helped create an environment you don't normally get in classes."
Organized entirely by Xavier students, they view TEDx as an important legacy to leave for future students.
"There's only so much you can do to change a university in four years," says Sam Seigle, who is the head of speakers and sponsors for the event. "This is our special opportunity to make a lasting tradition. We hope it will grow more prestigious every year."
Due to budgeting constraints, the event will have a smaller capacity than last year's. While 2012 reached its registration limit of 400 attendees within a week, this year, there will only be 200 available seats. Turon says the scaled-down event will offer participants a more intimate experience with speakers.
The organizers are eager to make TEDxXavierUniversity a continual success, which relies on spreading the word to promoters and interested audiences. Registration for tickets to the event is available

REPP brings trust, familiarity to online interactions
Tuesday, March 26, 2013
Many personal interactions that start online are based simply on trust—buying and selling on
, picking up discarded items from
, attending a brand new
or even going out on a date.
But what if you could find out a bit more about someone before going out on that first date? Or maybe you'd like to alleviate a buyer's concerns before selling them your old Xbox. A Cincinnati couple started an online profile verification service that allows users to verify and share their identities, photos and background checks with other users.
Co-founders Michael and BreeAnna Bergman are set to launch their service,
, in public beta in April. The idea came from the newlyweds' own life. BreeAnna unsuccessfully tried to do a little detective work on her soon-to-be husband before their first date.
They met speed dating, and before their first night out, she had wanted to learn more about Michael. BreeAnna says she couldn't be sure if she had found the right Michael Bergman on social media, and when she tried to run a background check (not uncommon nowadays) more than 100 Michael Bergman's popped up. "It was hopeless," she says.
Luckily, she didn't let her fruitless search deter her. A few months into their relationship, she told Michael about what she had done. He was a little shocked at first but understood. Then came the business idea.
"I found out that every girl does this," Michael says with a chuckle. "There are lots of situations where we meet up with total strangers, and we try to do our due diligence. REPP will give the end result right away."
REPP is a 2012 graduate of
The Brandery
. Michael has a background in marketing and law, and BreeAnna has a marketing background.
The REPP process starts by providing a name, birthdate and address. The user is asked questions relevant to his or her life that are based on information culled from databases to verify identity. REPP also runs a background check, and the user can provide notes on anything that comes up in it.
Through REPP, users can also connect social media accounts,which gives another level of identity verification. Once a profile is created, anyone can be invited to view it. Users control what they can and cannot view, as well and when they can view the profile. The profile will also have a public link, and viewers can request access. The profile's owner keeps control over who sees what.
Michael sees REPP as the next step in creating higher quality virtual connections.
"It can be used in dating, networking, the peer-to-peer area, or to get to know someone better in a professional capacity," he says. "It's a way to set yourself apart, and it's an easy way for people to get to know each other better."

UpTech reaches goals during first year, aims high for future
Tuesday, March 26, 2013
's first year has been a big one. The six-month super accelerator attracted 57 ideas, and eight of those ideas were selected to become companies in its inaugural class—all eight of those companies graduated. Three of those companies received $90,000 in grant money; to date, those companies have received $230,000 in follow-on funding.
By 2017, UpTech has promised to bring 50 startups to Northern Kentucky, says Amanda Greenwell, UpTech's program manager. The business accelerator has also promised to create jobs and provide money and support services to area businesses and its companies.
"Our goal is to create a culture of entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation in Northern Kentucky," says Greenwell.
UpTech wants to continue building on its successes and contribute to a culture that understands startups. "We want to create an ecosystem in Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati that creates a place for graduates of NKU's College of Informatics. We want to be a catalyst for that."

Cincinnati Chapter of CreativeMornings hosts event March 22
Tuesday, March 19, 2013
A small group of creatives have launched a Cincinnati chapter of
, which will host its first monthly breakfast and lecture March 22 at
21c Museum Hotel
CreativeMornings was founded in 2009 in New York City by Tina Roth Eisenberg who owns
, a design studio and blog. The concept brings together a wide variety of creative people—from solo entrepreneurs to large agency talent—once a month for breakfast.
Each chapter is organized by volunteers and supported by the community, which includes donated meeting space, coffee and food. Each month's breakfast features a global topic (March's is Reuse) and each chapter invites a speaker to talk on that topic. The lectures are recorded and streamed on the main CreativeMornings website.
CreativeMornings is growing, with nearly 50 chapters around the world. Among the newest are those in Cincinnati, Lima, Warsaw and Dublin. You can see the Cincinnati chapter's video application
Jeremy Thobe, from web design firm
US Digital Partners
, is the lead organizer for the Cincinnati chapter. CreativeMornings is a way to get creative folks across industries together before the workday starts, he says.
"There are a lot of events around here that are industry-specific or sales pitchy," says Thobe. "A lot of them are in the evenings. We thought this was a way to start the day on a high note, and meet people around our industries. We are very interested in what surrounds what we do, and that's harder for us to find here."
A group of about eight people are helping get the Cincinnati chapter off the ground. They've chosen this month's speaker, Bill Donabedian, co-founder of the
Bunbury Music Festival
Organizers plan to bring in speakers from a wide variety of professional backgrounds from music, education, healthcare, writing and science. The breakfasts are free, but space is limited, so you have to
. The first breakfast has already sold out, so you'll have to wait for the next one or add yourself to the waitlist.
"We're only limited by our space—we want to keep this as accessible as possible," Thobe says.

UC App Lab on MainStreet unveils mobile app suites on iTunes, Google Play
Tuesday, March 19, 2013
Students and faculty have launched their first mobile app suites out of the new
UC App Lab on MainStreet
The University of Cincinnati opened the App Lab, a campus mobile application development center, a little over a month ago. It's a physical space where students, faculty, staff and alumni can develop apps for smartphones and tablets. It's located with ResNet and MobileCats wireless store on MainStreet, and is the only space of its type in the region.
The first two app suites are geared toward the campus community. One is for current students, while the other is for alumni.
Blackboard Mobile Learn
, current students can access a UC campus map, check grades, track shuttles, access university sports and campus news and events. The app is free for current UC students. The
app accesses campus news and networking events. It allows alumni to donate to the college, volunteer at the college, and connect with other alumni via their social networks, among other features.
This is the just the start for the App Lab, which is working with local businesses and organizations to create new mobile apps.
"We are moving pretty fast," says Nelson Vincent, vice president of UC Information Technologies. "We're working on a second release of the alumni app, and working with some startup companies to see if they are a good fit."
The App Lab is a way to cultivate the region's mobile app development talent. It's a growing part of web commerce and everyday life for millions of smartphone users. In 2012, the average person used some form of mobile 127 minutes a day, Vincent says.
"It's a real generational shift," he says. "Who doesn't have a smartphone today with apps on it? And folks who do this work in Cincinnati are in very short supply."
As the app development program matures, UC is considering partnering with private businesses for mentorship and co-op opportunities.
"This is a really exciting time," says Vincent. "A community of people are coming together to make this happen, and we think this is going to take off."

Spotted Yeti Media captures the best on film
Tuesday, March 19, 2013
What comes to mind when you see the name Spotted Yeti? Is it a purple polka dot Sasquatch?
While that's not quite the direction Molly Berrens, CEO of
Spotted Yeti Media
, had in mind, you wouldn't be alone in that misconception.
"It's a play on words," Berrens says. She says the idea came from a Mitch Hedberg joke that claims Bigfoot is naturally blurry, so it's not the cameraman's fault that the image isn't in focus. While Berrens didn't immediately embrace the name, she came to appreciate its double meaning and is proud to work under the banner.
Spotted Yeti is a video production studio based in Newport. Their expertise lies in short-form videos that are intended mainly for the web and live events, with a client list based in the corporate and nonprofit sectors.
Their offered services include documentaries, company overviews, client testimonials, green screen productions, animations, video blogs (or "vlogs") and instructional/training videos—but they have the capacity to handle many projects beyond those already offered. To stay appealing for most web users, the videos are typically no longer than four minutes.
Most of Spotted Yeti's
featured videos
showcase its clients' personalities, which makes the work it provides a great way to represent businesses and charities.
If you're interested in what Spotted Yeti does, it offers qualified students internships where they can hone their craft in a professional studio.
"Not many people have 'spotted' a yeti," Berrens said. "Our company motto is 'Show the world you exist' so you can bring a big idea into focus."

Cincinnati-based Infintech partners with Liturgical Publications to grow client base
Tuesday, March 19, 2013
At the end of last year,
Liturgical Publications
's PledgeConnect service, which is the company's online donation division for the religious world. Through the partnership, Infintech will continue its work with its current clients, but will also be offering credit card processing to the 100,000 businesses that advertise in LPi publications (mainly church bulletins).
Over the next eight months, Infintech will be converting its customers from PledgeConnect to LPi's WeShare, which has more bells and whistles than PledgeConnect, says Ryan Rybolt, president of Infintech.
"We want to see our company grow through marketing our services and getting into the organizations that LPi supports," says Rybolt. "It's the perfect partnership because it allows Infintech to do what we're best at—credit card processing—and it allows LPi to do what they do best, which is its new donation platform."
WeShare doesn't just allow for donations to multiple bank accounts, but it also allows churches and other nonprofits to sell event tickets, to accept credit or debit cards without the cost and risk associated with managing a merchant account, and to simplify financial reporting for the church and the individual who made the donation.
Milwaukee-based LPi was founded in 1972, and since then has offered churches and nonprofits across the United States custom communication solutions. It has worked with over 4,000 congregations and organizations, plus 100,000 businesses around the country.
Infintech, founded in 2005, is ranked as one of
Inc. Magazine
's Fastest Growing Companies. Infintech's payment processing solutions include retail, commercial card, mobile and online processing, and supports integration with nearly all POS systems, smartphone payments and e-commerce and shopping cart integration.

Intern in Ohio program launches today, connects students with internships
Tuesday, March 19, 2013
Today, Detroit-based
launches its
Intern in Ohio
program to the public, which is sponsored by the
University of Toledo
. Like
, the program uses an advanced matching algorithm to match students with internship opportunities.
Intern in Ohio is free to both students who are looking for internships and businesses who want to post internships. To register, students and employers visit
Intern in Ohio's website
to sign up and create a profile or post internship opportunities. Students fill out a short questionnaire about their preferences, and employers share information about the position. The system then identifies the top seven matches for each student, as well as for each position. When the match is made, both the student and employer are notified, and they must show interest before any contact information is shared.
"We encourage diverse companies—large and small, for-profit and nonprofit, government and corporate," says Wendy Pittman, director of Digerati's Classroom to Career. "It's a great chance for employers to broadcast their company and internship program across the state and reach a larger pool of applicants."
Only companies in Ohio can post opportunities to the Intern in Ohio website, but all types of internships are welcome. There are posts for marketing, engineering and social media, among others, says Pittman.
The program is open to all students who live in Ohio, whether they're in-state or out-of-state students. Research shows that not only do internships often lead employment offers after graduation, but that students are more likely to remain in an area where they held and internship.
"This is the first replication of the Classroom to Career technology from Michigan to Ohio," says Pittman. "Experiential learning is a game-changer; and we're looking forward to working with smaller communities to make a difference."
In 2011, Digerati launched its Intern in Michigan program, which has resulted in more than 127,000 matches and introductions between students and employers. Over 1,000 Michigan businesses have posted 4,824 internship opportunities, and 1,049 colleges and universities in the state use the site.
Full disclosure: Soapbox's parent company, IMG, supplies content to Intern in Ohio on a contractual basis.

Busken OTR pop-up shop, low-cal treats grow business by reaching urban consumers
Tuesday, March 12, 2013
, an 85-year-old Cincinnati baking institution, is reaching a younger, urban consumer with a new low-cal donut and modern marketing techniques.
Busken debuted its new
donut on Valentine's Day. That day, the company gave away 16,000 of the heart-shaped glazed donuts at its 10 stores, regional United Dairy Farmers and Remke-Biggs markets. The company has also set up a pop-up shop on Vine Street in Over-the-Rhine, where they give away free donuts on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights to people who are soaking up the neighborhood's emerging night life.
Busken developed the Lite-Hearted donut as an alternative to its original glazed donut. The Lite-Hearted donut has half the calories (140) of the original, with zero trans fats and zero saturated fats. Busken President and CEO Dan Busken says the donut follows the standard set by the bakers's reduced-fat skinny cookie. The iced cookie launched three years ago and has sold one million servings, he says.
The key to the cookie's success was retaining the original flavor in a lower fat version.
"When we launched the skinny cookie, we had such amazing results," Busken says. "We're in the business of flavor and indulgence and carbs, and people are really shying away from carbs or are eating less of them. We wanted to develop a product we could sell that had the full flavor of the original iced cookie, with less fat and calories."
Originally, the bakery believed their traditional customers would buy more of the lighter cookies, substituting it for the indulgent treats. But something happened they didn't expect.
"Actually, a whole new consumer started buying our cookies," Busken says. "They still have the desire to indulge, but in a healthier way. We thought, If we can do that with a cookie, why don't we do it with a donut. We are really convinced people can't tell the difference."
The donut pop-up shop is a way to let consumer's taste for themselves. It's set up as an art gallery, and has a fun little video booth where pop-up shoppers can record video snippets that will be posted on the Busken's YouTube
. But it's set to close March 16, so get them while you can.
"(OTR) is really a hip, growing part of Cincinnati," Busken says. "We're looking for a way to be part of that and to reach the type of people visiting the restaurants there. We really are trying to reach a younger demographic."
The company also reached out to local bloggers who sampled the donuts and wrote about them. It's given the company a lot of web press.
The donuts will be sold year-round, and plans are to add more flavors to the low-cal lineup, Busken says.

PublicSchoolWORKS offers software solution for meeting public school mandates
Tuesday, March 12, 2013
Public schooling is multi-faceted, and each state legislature has a particular way of governing its districts.
Public schools are a large part of state budgets and efforts, and most years, there are new regulations for administrators and teachers to comply with. Many new rules—implementing an anti-bullying program, for instance—comprise of educational and professional development and reporting and tracking.
Taken together, each mandate can take up a lot of time, which leaves teachers struggling to do what they to best: educate children.
One Cincinnati company is growing by making it easier for K-12 schools to manage those mandates.
offers schools a suite of web-based software and ongoing support in the areas of staff and student health, safety compliance and behavior programs.
Founded in 1999, the O'Bryonville-based company has two
suites: EmployeeSafe and StudentWatch. PublicSchoolWORKS has clients in the Cincinnati area, but it also serves schools across North America. Its resources include written plans, forms, training courses and other content that school districts need in order to succeed.
PublicSchoolWORKS was developed by a team of actively employed school administrators. It's CEO, Steve Temming, has more than 22 years of experience working in public schools, including administration.
"We create complete programs that address the needs of a district, not from a strategy standpoint but from an implementation standpoint," says PublicSchoolWORKS' Vice President Tom Strasburger.
The company is constantly monitoring state legislatures to assure its custom-content software continues to meet school districts' needs. PublicSchoolWORKS also offers ongoing service support to help districts get the most out of the software, Strasburger says.
"We provide a signature product that completely addresses school issues," Strasburger says. "By knowing legislation and meeting that legislation, the system is built to manage what is expected of the school. It's virtually hands off, so (teachers and administrators) can do their jobs."
It's because of the system's automation and completeness that the company rarely loses a customer. Public School Works is growing with its own sales, support and research groups, in addition to IT. Not only are its services growing, but PublicSchoolWORKS is also physically outgrowing its current office space, and could soon move into a new, larger facility.

Differential offers knowledge to new businesses

In a city recognized as an ideal location for startup businesses, it's no surprise there are an increasing number of resources sprouting up to assist burgeoning entrepreneurs.

Differential helps new businesses by addressing common problems, like raising seed capital, establishing a revenue system that will work repeatedly, inserting protocols to streamline operations, and helping founders connect with experienced co-founders.
"Unlike incubators, we work with one client at time, for as long as it takes, to get quickly to a point where the venture can raise additional funds, or call it quits due to no viable path forward," Walker says.
Based in the Queen City, the founders are committed to assisting local entrepreneurs thrive. Now ready to serve its first client, Differential wants the city to know it's ready to boost local businesses.
"We see Cincinnati as a great place with a lot of positive momentum, but we're taking a 20-year view, and there's a lot of hard work to be done," Walker says. "Cincinnati is home, it's the town we love and believe in, and a place where businesses can thrive with the right mindset."

Cincinnati enters wearable tech market with Nugg-it recording band
Tuesday, March 05, 2013
Wearable tech is emerging as the "next big thing" in consumer technology. And a trio of Cincinnati entrepreneurs are developing
, a wristband that will easily record snippets of everyday conversation, and investors are taking notice.
Nugg-it has raised a total of $250,000 raised from
Design 2 Matter
, a Silicon Valley-based industrial design firm. That's part of an ongoing $600,000 investment seed round. Design 2 Matter is also designing and building the device.
"[Design 2 Matter] has a very successful track record of bringing products from concept to shelf," says Nugg-it's co-founder and social media entrepreneur Matthew Dooley.
Nugg-it is meant to be worn 24 hours a day. It records live conversations on a 60-second loop, continuously saving them in one-minute "nuggets." To save a memorable part of a conversation, the user touches the device to save the last minute of buffered memory. That recording can be sent to a smartphone, and through an app can be edited, saved and shared.
"It's a smaller, lighter weight band," says Dooley. "Right now, we are trying to focus a lot of attention on design. It has to be something that is stylish and comfortable to wear. A lot of the functionality is off the shelf, but we're putting it together in a new way."
Dooley is working with former Procter & Gamble brand marketer and engineer Mike Sarow to develop the device. Plans are to deliver the final concept in March, and introduce it to the market by December, Dooley says.
"It occurred to us that there are a lot of circumstances in life where we want to remember and share something that was just said—a clever phrase in a meeting, something adorable from our 3-year-old, words of wisdom from a mentor—but we can't 'capture' it," Sarow says. "Now you can."
Nugg-it is
's first consumer electronics device investment.
"With the rise of the Nike FuelBand and smartwatches such as Pebble, wearable technology is projected to be a $7 billion market by 2017," says CincyTech's Executive-in-Residence Doug Groh. "We expect Nugg-it to help drive that growth and to do for short audio files what Twitter has done for 140-character content."

HCBC opens new CoWorks space for entrepreneurs, startups
Tuesday, March 05, 2013
Hamilton County Business Center
is Cincinnati's oldest incubator, and has evolved over the decades as the economy has changed.
Startups are leaner and meaner now than ever before, and HCBC is piloting the region's latest coworking space, where small businesses can get many of the benefits of being in an incubator without the higher overhead.
had a very quiet launch late last fall. With three businesses in the space, which is located in Norwood, Executive Director Pat Longo is now getting the word out about HCBC.
"This has grown out of our affiliate program," Longo says. "There were companies that weren't yet ready to apply for the incubator but they wanted to be around it."
HCBC has recently upgraded its conference room space, which has been attractive to small companies like
that want to present themselves more professionally, says Longo.
HCBC has 45 companies that last year generated over $18 million in revenues, accessed over $8 million in capital and created nearly 50 jobs.
Renting CoWorks space on a month-to-month basis starts at $75 per month, and includes:
24-hour, 7-day-a-week access
Concierge and receptionist services
Free parking
Fax, scanner and copier services
Up to four hours per month of conference room use
A mailing address
"We talk about having an entrepreneurial ecosystem, but I like to think of (HCBC) as a coral reef," Longo says. "We have a lot of life, people can grow, there is lots of nourishment and places to go and hide if you need a quiet place to work."
CoWorkers will have access to the incubator entrepreneurial atmosphere, programming and resources. Some are free, while others have a fee attached.
"They'll get the benefits of being a client," Long says. "And we hope when they are ready, they'll move into the incubator."
Currently, there is space for about 12 companies, with potential room to grow. Interested businesses can find out more on the
CoWorks website
, where interpreters can fill out an application.

Markiplier attracts millions of YouTube gamer views
Tuesday, March 05, 2013
Mark Fischbach of Milford, Ohio, launched a successful career playing video games and yelling at his computer as a YouTube partner. His channel,
, features videos of Fischbach playing video games while providing—well, let's call it lively—commentary. The distinctive thing about Fischbach, though, is his strikingly deep and commanding voice.
His YouTube channel gains subscribers at a steady rate. With nearly 150,000 subscribers, Fischbach has garnered more than 23 million views on his hundreds of videos. "Random Horror Reaction Compilation #2," for example, which consists of a little more than four minutes of Fischbach commentating as his video game characters witness scary scenes from games like Death of the Dream 2, Fibrillation and Creepy Zone, has been watched more than a quarter of a million times.
This local gamer with "an ego the size of the moon" (according to his
YouTube's homepage
) has also raised more than $21,000 for various charities that mainly focus on cancer research. He does this in memory of his father.
Though Fischbach started his YouTube venture less than a year ago, his girly screams and unexpected jokes attract a large demographic of video game enthusiasts with a sense of humor. In this day and age, nearly everyone can find at least one kind of video game they enjoy, which makes Fischbach's territory an ever-expanding kingdom of nerdiness.

Miami University student wants to make The Ultimate Lip Balm
Tuesday, February 26, 2013
Miami University
junior Samuel Frith was on vacation three years ago, and spent a little too much time in the sun. Today, when the rays get a little too intense, he relives a painful part of that vacation.
"My lips are very sensitive when I'm out in the sun," he says. "I get really bad sun poisoning and blisters when I go out in the sun."
Frith went through all of the cosmetically available lip balms around, especially those with high SPF levels, but they just didn't work.
"I wasn't getting any relief," he says. "I even tried the brands that were SPF 30 or 40."
Last summer, he decided to take things into his own hands, and create The Ultimate Lip Balm. It's a balm that would help sun-sensitive people like Frith. Active outdoor types could also use it, and it even has medical applications—chemotherapy patients often get severely dry lips during cancer treatment, and they could benefit from Frith's balm as well.
Frith, a finance and entrepreneurship student, was one of the top winners during this month's
Innov8 for Health
business pitch event. He was one of four $1,000 prize winners in the student track.
Frith's past experience includes working on a cosmetic lotion project for
GA Communications
in Chicago, which helped him learn about the process of getting a facial care product to market.
"I did a lot of reading and research about the FDA and regulation of product claims," he says. "While I was there, I learned about SPF, sun care products and the facial care industry."
After doing further Internet research, Frith decided to work with a Cedar Rapids, Iowa, company—
Raining Rose
—to develop the lip balm. Raining Rose is a small, custom lip balm manufacturer known for using organic and natural ingredients. The company and Frith are working to develop a formula aimed at making the lip balm last longer, and therefore, be more effective, Frith says.
"After SPF 30, [sun protection quality] plateaus," Frith says. "You have to come up with other ingredients that will stick better on lips, or attributes other than SPF to make a higher quality lip balm."
Currently, he's working to raise $15,000 for product testing. He hopes to get The Ultimate Lip Balm onto lips by late fall.

The baroque city of Würzburg, the pearl of the Romantic Road, is a heady example of what happens when great genius teams up with great wealth. Beginning in the 10th century, Würzburg was ruled by powerful (and rich) prince-bishops, who created the city with all the remarkable attributes you see today.
The city is at the junction of two age-old trade routes, in a calm valley backed by vineyard-covered hills. Festung Marienberg, a fortified castle on the steep hill across the Main River, overlooks the town. Constructed between 1200 and 1600, the fortress was the residence of the prince-bishops for 450 years.
Present-day Würzburg is by no means completely original. On March 16, 1945, seven weeks before Germany capitulated, Würzburg was all but obliterated by Allied saturation bombing. The 20-minute raid destroyed 87% of the city and killed at least 4,000 people. Reconstruction has returned most of the city's famous sights to their former splendor. Except for some buildings with modern shops, it remains a largely authentic restoration.

David Wright broke the New York Mets' record for hits and Jeremy Hefner bounced back from a horrendous start in a 6-0 victory over Pittsburgh on Wednesday night that eliminated the Pirates from playoff contention.
Ruben Tejada tied a career high with four hits, including two RBI singles, and Scott Hairston doubled home a run as the Mets took advantage of some shoddy Pittsburgh defense to win for the fifth time in six games.
Jeff Locke (0-3), still searching for his first major league win after nine starts, was chased in the fourth inning. Pittsburgh fell eight games behind St. Louis in the race for the second NL wild card with seven to play.
Tied for the NL Central lead a week after the All-Star game, the Pirates have faded quickly in the second half for the second consecutive year. They have dropped 19 of 25 and must go 5-2 the rest of the way to avoid a 20th straight losing season.
Earlier Wednesday, club president Frank Coonelly said manager Clint Hurdle and GM Neal Huntington will be back next season.
Wright reached on an infield single during a four-run third inning for his 1,419th hit, snapping a tie with Ed Kranepool atop the team's career list.
The slugger pulled into second base thanks to a throwing error on the play and his achievement was shown on the Citi Field scoreboard. The Mets played a few of Wright's highlights on the big video board, including his first major league hit. He received a warm ovation and quickly waved twice to the skimpy crowd of 22,890 before flashing a wide smile toward the New York dugout.
A six-time All-Star, Wright accomplished the feat in 1,256 games from 2004-12. Kranepool played in 1,853 games from 1962-79.
Kranepool was at Citi Field on Wednesday, and the two posed for pictures together during batting practice.
Mets fans get another chance to enjoy a possible nice moment when knuckleballer R.A. Dickey tries for his 20th win Thursday afternoon against Pittsburgh in New York's home finale.
"Obviously, there's something that looks pretty about that number," said Dickey, looking to improve his Cy Young Award credentials.
Hefner (3-7) faced seven batters without recording an out in his previous start, a 16-1 loss to Philadelphia last Thursday. This time, he was on top of his game.
The rookie right-hander allowed only three harmless singles — two to former New York City prep star Pedro Alvarez — over seven outstanding innings. Hefner matched a career high with seven strikeouts and walked just one. He also dropped down two sacrifice bunts that led to runs.
Jeurys Familia finished up with two hitless innings.
In addition to his record-breaking hit, Wright lined a clean single to center in the fourth. Daniel Murphy and Kelly Shoppach each had an RBI single for New York. Andres Torres had three hits and scored twice.
Pirates star Andrew McCutchen, chasing the NL batting title, went 0 for 4.

Pirates hope Sanchez is answer at first base
The longer the Pittsburgh Pirates go without finding a new first baseman, the closer Gaby Sanchez gets to claiming the job.
Sanchez, though, does not want to get the spot by default. He'd prefer to earn it. -
McCutchen eager to be back with Pirates
Andrew McCutchen was almost as busy this winter as he was last season, when he helped the Pittsburgh Pirates reach the National League playoffs.
McCutchen batted .317 and set career highs with 38 doubles and a .404 on-base percentage. -
Pirates eager to start after playoff appearance
Coming off their first playoff appearance in 21 years, the Pittsburgh Pirates were eager to start spring training.
Several players have been training regularly at the Pirate City complex since early January. When 36 pitchers and catchers held their first official workout on Thursday, a half-dozen position players were there, too. -
Cabrera, McCutchen win MVP awards
Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen took the NL MVP by a surprisingly wide margin after leading a baseball revival in Pittsburgh.
McCutchen drew 28 of the 30 first-place votes to finish far ahead of Arizona first baseman Paul Goldschmidt and St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina. -
Cardinals end Pirates' season in Game 5 to win NLDS
Adam Wainwright went all the way and the St. Louis Cardinals got two-run homers from David Freese and Matt Adams to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-1 on Wednesday night, advancing to the NL championship series.
Wacha, Cardinals edge Pirates 2-1 to knot NLDS
Michael Wacha heard the chants. Then again, when 40,000 people clad in black scream your name relentlessly for the better part of three hours, it's kind of hard to miss.
Pirates take 2-1 lead in NLDS
Pinch-runner Josh Harrison stood on second base in the bottom of the eighth inning and pointed to Pittsburgh Pirates third base coach Nick Leyva.
"I told him to get that arm ready, because I'm coming," Harrison said. -
Cole, Pirates reverse roles, top Cardinals, tie series
Gerrit Cole and the Pittsburgh Pirates played a game of role reversal, and pulled even with the St. Louis Cardinals.
The hard-throwing rookie gave up two hits in six dominant innings and also had an RBI in his postseason debut, Pedro Alvarez homered for the second straight day and the Pirates beat the Cardinals 7-1 Friday to even their NL division series at one game apiece. -
Burnett shelled; Pirates lose Game 1
Carlos Beltran's three-run homer sparked a seven-run third inning and the St. Louis Cardinals got seven stingy innings from Adam Wainwright, delivering a reality jolt to the Pittsburgh Pirates with a 9-1 rout Thursday in their NL division series opener.

text: The MPP for Algoma Manitoulin says last week's Drummond Report is not doom and gloom. The report says if the McGuinty Liberals don't implement its recommendations, Ontario's $16 billion deficit will skyrocket to $30 billion in just six years. But New Democrat MPP Mike Mantha says Drummond has painted an unrealistic picture of the future. Mantha says Drummond is forecasting only two percent growth while the NDP believe growth of 2.7 percent is more likely. Mantha says Drummond's slower growth scenario creates a $10 billion shortfall in the economy and that's a dollar amount the NDP believe will be there with higher growth. Mantha says recommendations in the report like killing full day kindergarten should not be eliminated, something the Liberals say will continue. Asked how the NDP would slash the massive deficit, Mantha says eliminate the wasteful spending that right now is unaccounted for.
