Of course I prefer the big dragon. Charizard's ability to fly is both a tactical advantage in battle and a traveling asset out of battle.
Of course I prefer the big dragon. Charizard's ability to fly is both a tactical advantage in battle and a traveling asset out of battle.
I prefer Ash's Infernape. When Chimchar evolved into Monferno, it remained obedient to Ash, unlike the way Charmander evolved into Charmeleon, and then into Charizard.
I know it was a way back in the thread but I'm gonna say it anyways. Everytime Charizard's strength is brought up, the battle vs Dusclops is mentioned. First of all I'd like to say that most people, at some point, has gone mad over the mean-look-confuse-ray shit. Loosing against an extremely competent trainer using that strat isn't really something to feel all that ashamed about imo. Second, that loss is one of how many? Yeah, yeah, harrisons blaziken yadda yadda. Compared to Falkner's Pidgeot,nSilverconference vs Gary and Nolands Articuno I think it's a bagatelle.
I'm the thread-killer for some reason. Whatever thread I write in is as dead as a flushed turd.
Honestly people, you're just going over simple preference based on character type. Logically you all have to pick Charizard, and not for the type advantage either. Honestly, Charizard has the advantage over Infernape with more power, more experience, and more skill. Charizard took out a legendary by itself. Granted, it had a type advantage, but this legendary wasn't weakened in a previous battle. That puts Charizard on the level beyond most characters. Infernape is powerful yes, but only like maybe... pikachu powerful. And Pikachu poweful is nothing to scoff at, as it took down a legendary that it didn't have any type advantage with, (but that was after said legendary was weakened first), but Pikachu's power fluccutates from episode to episode.
Anyways, The more experienced pokemon usually wins, and here, Charizard is far more experienced than Infernape. Throw in the type advantage of flying, and we know who the choice is.
He is. Infernape could learn Thunderpunch, which could be useful against water types. That gives it an advantage that Charizard never had against water types.
Interestingly enough, while slightly off topic, Ash has two pokemon currently on his team that both know the same move. Staraptor and Infernape both know Close Combat. Anyways, yes, Infernape with his fighting ability can be more rounded if used right. But for sheer firepower, Charizard is my choice.
Infernape doesn't know Close Combat
I say it might be even. Charizard is a good Sp.Atk and sucks at physical and Infernape is balanced between power,Sp.Atk, and speed(go look at it's ev count). Infernape can dig to dodge Charizard,sneak behind, grab Charizards tail(since Infernape is strong) and swing Charizard into a rock or something. Infernape can learn some rock moves which is 4x weakness to Charizard so that would probaly be best to hit Charizard with. Charizard can use moves like Air Slash, which is a Sp.Atk, and Charizard speacilizes in that ev. But I think their even.
Charizard, for my reason check my sig.
My Pokemon Black Team:
Suck it Zekrom!
Ash's Infernape doesn't have rock moves.
Grabbing on to Charizard's tail = Seismic Toss?
Game mechanics don't really apply to the anime, btw.
Mr. Mime isn't a good physical attacker, but its punches are really strong in DP159.
Charizard FTW. For every reason possible.

That afternoon, a Cessna 172K fell to earth in the vicinity of Highway 36 and Neva Road in Boulder County, killing its sole occupant, Charles Richards, 54. This sad event, which is being investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board, was compounded by previous misfortunes that reportedly took place within the man's family: On the very day last November that a funeral was scheduled for Richards's recently deceased father, his 24-year-old son passed away. But initial accounts about the plane crash that appeared in a crawl along the bottom of TV screens tuned to Channel 9, as well as the version first heard on KOA, hinted at a tragedy of a far more extensive scale. The outlets identified the downed aircraft as a commuter jet that belonged to United Express. If such a vehicle was wrecked when filled to capacity, the casualty count could easily have run into the dozens.
Both stations corrected this slip-up in relatively short order. Channel 9 news director Patti Dennis says the graphic appeared just twice, and she adds that the piece about the incident that turned up on the station's 5 p.m. broadcast was correct. As for KOA, news director Jerry Bell points out that the muddled particulars passed along at the top of the signal's 5 p.m. newscast were amended before the update concluded -- a span of only three minutes or so, but enough time to do some damage. MSNBC, following Channel 9's lead, briefly identified the plane as part of the United Express fleet, prompting a trio of national news services to contact Denver International Airport seeking confirmation.
Had these agencies not bothered to do so, notes Amy Bourgeron, DIA's deputy manager of aviation, pandemonium might have ensued. "The potential hysteria that could have been created needlessly for someone waiting for a loved one or a friend on a United Express flight is a tremendous concern to us."
The gaffes were spawned by separate calls made to the stations by an individual or individuals who claimed to have witnessed the crash and who described the calamity in great, albeit false, detail. Channel 9's Dennis says she's not certain that personnel working in her shop on January 8 managed to get their caller's name, but KOA's Bell reveals that the man who phoned his station identified himself as "Mike Anderson" -- a name that seems suspicious in retrospect, since a Denver Broncos running back sports the same moniker. Too bad the guy didn't insist he was Terrell Davis; KOA workers might have caught on sooner.
As Bell tells it, newsroomers made a tape of the man's comments prior to calling Boulder County dispatch, which confirmed that there had indeed been a plane crash and that emergency personnel were racing to it. Granted, the dispatch staffer didn't identify the type of plane, because authorities had not yet reached the scene, but KOA was already receiving other calls from area residents who'd heard the impact, so the employees felt confident that the calamity was a hefty one. "We geared up for something much bigger than it turned out to be," Bell says. "I even ended up going up there, and I wasn't the only one. Everybody in town was mounting a large response."
Upon reaching the site, KOA reps knew instantly that the accident wasn't nearly the catastrophe they'd been led to expect, and they called back to the station to pass the word along. But by the time they did, news anchor Jim Reed had already aired the recording of "Anderson" describing a United Express craft, necessitating a hurried correction.
Unfortunately, says Boulder County spokesman James Burris, some listeners didn't catch the second notice: "When it went over KOA, the number at dispatch was ringing off the hook with people trying to get information, and we didn't have any way to say 'yes' or 'no' for a few minutes." Burris believes that "waiting ten or fifteen minutes to get a complete report from people on the scene would have prevented any misinformation from getting out over the air. But radio's an immediate medium, and people want news now."
After they found out about the flub, KOA minions dialed the number left by the mysterious caller. But it wasn't in service, leading Bell to wonder if the station had been deliberately tweaked. "Either the guy was mentally off base or had a very vivid imagination," he says. Still, he's not overly critical of Reed or his colleagues: "It's not as if somebody called out of the blue and we threw it on the air. We did make an effort to confirm the crash before we ran the tape. I don't know what more you can do in a situation like that before you can get up there and see for yourself. If you had somebody tell you that they're there, and you know there's been a plane crash, you wouldn't have any reason to doubt it."

When owners Nancy Kanter and Julie Byrne founded Clay Café more than 14 years ago, they wanted to establish a cozy, unpretentious environment where families could spend quality time pottery-painting and embarking on other art projects. Describing what they envisioned to the Columbus Dispatch, Byrne stated, "We kind of wanted a grandma kitchen—something homey." At Clay Café, visitors might forget they're not relaxing in their own homes amid the studio's popular mismatched chairs, flower tablecloths, and resident father yelling at a sports game on TV. The hospitable owners invite guests of all ages to let their artist instincts run wild during open-ended potter-painting sessions, and they host an array of special events including baby showers and birthday parties.
Since 1983, families have spent their holidays around the television, watching A Christmas Story and joining in the triumphs and failures of 9-year-old Ralphie as he struggles to secure a Red Ryder BB gun from Santa's bag. Although the cult-classic film showed Ralphie living in Indiana, the house in which the movie took place rests in Cleveland?and is now a museum. When MSNBC interviewed lifelong fan and A Christmas Story House & Museum owner Brian Jones, they profiled the story of how he found the house on eBay and jumped at the chance to own it. Today, he?s turned it into a year-round place of pilgrimage for fans and the site of an occasionally-held convention for Ralphies.
Jones?s restoration has returned rooms to exactly how they were in the film, letting guests gaze at the tinsel-strewn tree with its star falling off and explore the bathroom where Ralphie?s mouth was washed out with soap?a time-tested method for cavity prevention. Visitors can even attempt to hide like little Randy in the cabinet under the sink. After seeing the backyard that still houses the original shed, where Ralphie defended his family against Black Bart, fans head across the street to the A Christmas Story House & Museum. Here, original props such as the toys from the Higbee?s department-store window, Randy?s snowsuit, and Miss Shields?s classroom chalkboard join other memorabilia and hundreds of behind-the-scenes photos. Before leaving, guests drop into the gift shop to pick up a leg lamp just like the one Ralphie's old man cherished so dearly.
Family patriarch Nordy Rockler opened the doors of his first store in 1954 to supply his fellow craftsmen with knowledge, friendly advice, and a large selection of tools for at-home woodworking projects. Now, the chain of retail outlets brims with more than 20,000 tools and specialized woodworking equipment. Next to a steely rainbow of hinges, casters, and screws, a supply of lumber and exotic hardwoods provides planks for building tree houses or just leaving around as a warning to uncooperative trees. The tenor buzz of power tools operated by newly knowledgeable guests drifts from educational sessions on operating equipment and woodworking.
Ken Cappelletty and Fred Moor, the men who man Ken's Flower Shops, didn't grow up dreaming about buds and stems. Raised by a local policeman, Ken likely spent more time playing cops and robbers than sniffing the neighbor's rosebushes. It wasn't until he helmed the cash register at a neighborhood florist in L.A. that he discovered his knack for design. Here, he started to see flowers as more than just plants, viewing them as art supplies that happen to smell nice. When Ken returned to Ohio, his parents helped him launch a small shop that arranged blooms in the morning and delivered them in the afternoon. Two years later, in 1967, his friend Fred took some of the reins, helping him grow the business into three local stores affiliated with FTD and Teleflora. From this labor of love, a legacy began to take root. At each shop, seasoned designers incorporate customers' requests into birthday bouquets, wedding corsages, and gift baskets filled with wine, house-baked cookies, and stuffed toys cute enough to melt hearts and plush enough to sop up the mess. Their talent and creativity takes center stage as well, whether they're filling vases with orchids, crafting wreaths from roses, or building bouquets from singing balloons. To this day, Fred often answers the phones, discerning customers' style preferences from friendly chats rather than pilfered diary pages. To make giving easy as getting, the shop's wares can be delivered locally or internationally, seven days a week.
A father-and-son tandem owns and runs Custom Spray, which cares for clients' lawns, trees, and shrubs with a bevy of beautifying services. When homeowners request a quote, a specialist from the staff descends upon the lawn in question to provide a price estimate in 15 minutes. The team's certified arborist performs a full tree and shrub evaluation to assess health and climbability prior to any treatments to them. The staff further promotes lawn health by cranking up an aerator to break up soil compaction, and the outfit's pest control service safely extinguishes infestations of bees, mosquitoes, and moles, making Custom Spray a favorite among CIA landscapers.

Sex and the City was the kind of show that actually improved over time—and not just for us straight guys tuning in for girlie gossip. What started off as Cosmo-lubricated escapism (especially in Candace Bushnell's original design) slowly began to gain heft, as the real subject came into view: mortality. Men would never fully complete these women, nor would sex, though the show's fuck-me feminism was certainly welcome. When brassy Samantha (Cattrall), the series's finest creation, quietly broke down at a funeral, we were suddenly watching real drama.You'll hear much sniffling in your dolled-up audience as this mega-anticipated film version unspools. That's actually a good thing: Sex and the City, written and directed by the show's most intelligent helmer, Michael Patrick King, is a proper evolution, gradually empowered, honest and loaded with candy-colored anxiety. Yes, Big (Chris Noth) and Carrie (Parker) plan a gorgeous wedding, complete with a Vogue photo shoot. Not everything goes to plan, and for the next two hours, the movie is a mourning story, a resiliency tale. Tears are shed in a Mexican retreat. Hair is dyed dark. It's serious-period Woody Allen, if he were a better shopper.
Carrie hires an intuitive assistant (Jennifer Hudson, better than in her overrated Dreamgirls turn) to help her go through the wreckage of her life, and the film leans into some rebirth clichés—even literally, when Charlotte (Davis) suddenly turns up preggers. But here too is cheating, jealousy and smugness. More subtly, can you think of the last time a Hollywood movie starred four cougars? (Hollywood needs SATC more than HBO does.) Of course, there's room for multiple resolutions that accommodate forgiveness—and truthfulness. In a sense, that's the happiest ending of all for a show that required its wrinkles more than it knew.

SEATTLE — Washington already has the nation's highest state minimum wage at $9.19 an hour. Now, there's a push in Seattle, at least, to make it $15.
That would mean fast food workers, retail clerks, baristas and other minimum wage workers would get what protesters demanded when they shut down a handful of city restaurants in May and others called for when they demonstrated nationwide in July.
So far, the City Council and mayoral candidates have said they would consider it in the famously liberal city. One said, however, that it may not be soon.
Venture capitalist Nick Hanauer said there's no time to waste. What the nation needs is money in the hands of regular consumers. "A higher minimum wage is a very simple and elegant solution to the death spiral of falling demand that is the signature feature of our economy," he said.
Some businesses advocates say a higher minimum wage will make it harder for companies in Seattle to survive. They cite Wal-Mart, which has all but refused to accept a Washington, D.C., decision to raise the minimum wage to $12.50 an hour in big box stores.
A higher minimum wage eliminates low wage jobs because that's how small businesses cut costs and that ends up hurting the people it was supposed to benefit, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Fast food and retail workers, meanwhile, are calling for a nationwide strike on Aug. 29 to push for $15 an hour.
More than 15 million workers earn the national minimum wage, making about $15,080 a year — $50 below the federal poverty line for a family of two. San Francisco currently has the highest minimum wage for all workers at $10.50 an hour.
Economist Chris Benner of the University of California at Davis does not agree that a higher minimum wage would lead to job losses.
"There may be some job impact in those small businesses themselves," he said. But in the entire economy, when you increase income to low-wage workers, it creates jobs because those workers are likely to spend their additional income and that increases demand for goods and services.
Benner also doubts a higher minimum wage would affect prices enough to scare away consumers. His research has shown that even a large increase in wages, like the proposal in Seattle, has only a 4 to 5 percent effect on prices.
One of those affected by a potential wage increase is Caroline Durocher, 21, who has been working low-wage jobs since high school. She has been working at a Seattle Subway restaurant for about a month, since she was fired by another chain shortly after participating in the minimum wage strike.
"I have co-workers who are single moms. I honestly don't know how they make it," said Durocher, who sleeps on her father's couch.
City Council member Nick Licata doesn't expect the issue to get any official traction soon. One of the council's most liberal members, he said there are other issues the council should tackle to help low-wage workers, including wage theft and affordable housing.
Pushing it forward before it can actually pass would kill he idea, he said.
One Seattle City council candidate has made the topic the centerpiece of her campaign.
Economist Kshama Sawant is basing her campaign on similar efforts in New York City and Washington, D.C. While saying her chances of getting elected are not great, she is pushing the rise in the minimum wage and said she is hearing about it on the campaign trail.
An alternative, yet politically mighty, weekly newspaper, the Stranger, has endorsed her idea.
"We're getting a huge echo for the idea," she said.

World's Most Beautiful Museums
Museu Oscar Niemeyer: Curitiba, Brazil
The official name honors its Brazilian architect (now 95 years old), but it's more commonly called the Museum of the Eye after its latest addition. Finished in 2002, the glass-encased Annex ("The Eye") is perched atop a 60-foot-wide yellow pillar and accessed by a long curving ramp. The constantly changing reflection of the sky in the glass exterior and the reflecting pool below makes each viewing feel unique. A curving tunnel running beneath the reflecting pool connects the Annex to the original 1967 Niemeyer building.

First Lady Michelle Obama and Jason Collins, the first openly gay active player in the NBA, headlined a fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee Wednesday evening in New York City.
Speaking at the DNC's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Leadership gala in New York City, Collins, who publicly revealed he was gay for the first time last month, called the first lady "a steadfast champion for LGBT families," who with her husband is working to convey that "the most important thing that defines a family is love."
Collins said he hopes his announcement provides "courage to those still unsure about coming out and I hope it shows them the overwhelming amount of support that is waiting for them."
"Jason, we are so proud of you. We are proud of your talent, your character, your courage, and we are so proud," the first lady said. "He has just made the difference in the lives of so many of our young people. So let's give one more round of applause to our friend, Jason Collins. We love you so much, Jason."
The president and first lady both praised Collins when he publicly announced he was gay earlier this month. At the fundraiser, which included a performance by musician Sara Bareilles, the first lady lauded her husband and the LGBT community for striving to achieve equality for all.
"Because of you, we have a president who stands up for our most fundamental rights, from ending Don't Ask, Don't Tell… to supporting our right to marry the person we love," Obama said.
The first lady attended an additional DNC fundraiser in New York City hosted at the home of fashion mogul Tory Burch. According to a pool report, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour was also in attendance. The first lady acknowledged the fashion powerhouses at the fundraisers saying many in the room have "helped me become the poised and stylish woman that I have become."
Earlier in the day, Obama spoke at a fundraising event in Boston for Rep. Ed Markey's Massachusetts Senate campaign.
While the first lady flexed her fundraising muscle on the East Coast, President Obama spoke at two fundraisers benefiting the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in his hometown of Chicago Wednesday evening. The president highlighted the upcoming vote on same-sex marriages in the Illinois state legislature, saying it is something he "deeply" supports.
"America is probably more tolerant, more accepting of difference than any time in our history," Obama said at a fundraiser at the home of Bettylu and Paul Saltzman in Chicago. "But we also know that there's still a lot of people who are excluded in our society and we've got more work to do."
"I wrestled with this for a long time and I am absolutely convinced it is the right thing to do," he said of same sex marriage. "We have to make sure that wherever we go, we are reminding people that the essence of America is that everybody is treated equally under the law without exception."
At an earlier fundraiser at the Chicago Hilton, the president showed off his music abilities, leading the crowd in singing Happy Birthday to DCCC Chairman Rep. Steve Israel.

A 26-year-old Billings man has been charged with endangering his 3-year-old son while driving drunk after assaulting the child's mother.
Ryan Scott Romero has pleaded not guilty in Yellowstone County District Court to felony criminal endangerment and misdemeanor counts of DUI and partner or family member assault.
Romero has been released from custody on a $10,000 bond.
According to court records, Romero was arrested April 2 after police were called to a residence on Hawthorne Lane at about 3:50 a.m.
A woman told officers that Romero, her ex-boyfriend and the father of her 3-year-old son, came to the residence intoxicated, spit at her and slapped her in the face before grabbing the boy and leaving.
A short time later, officers located and arrested Romero at his mother's residence on Janie Street, where they also found the boy.

Javascript link from page in iframe to parent, with anchor
I have a problem with getting this to work:
A larger page largetest.php has an iframe. The page in the iframe is smalltest.php.
Smalltest.php has two small thumnail images as links.
These are red.jpg and blue.jpg.
Clicking on the red image refreshes the parent page largetest.php and this link uses a link to an ID #footer, like a named anchor.
Same happens with the blue image link.
Link code on the smalltest page in the iframe:

When the larger page refreshes, it reloads the smalltest page in the iframe.
All works fine, even if the links have query strings like the 'blue' link, if the blue link is clicked, then red, then blue etc,
but fails if red link clicked, and then after pages refresh is clicked again.
Then the iframe page smalltest fails to display and it just shows the link text in the iframe, with no page present.
It fails when either image link is clicked more than once in succession.
red blue red blue: fine
red red: fails.
Without the '#footer' in the links, there is no problem, but I need the largetest page to display the bottom half of the page.
Could be a cache problem?
Can anyone help with this?

I had the pleasure of spending time at the 2011 CTIA Wireless conference in sunny Orlando, FL, last week. It could not have been a better location for someone stationed in the Northeast. While down there, I took part in several analyst briefings, the ShowStoppers event, the MobileTrax Innovators dinner, and business meetings with customers and partners attending the show. If you are a person interested in how your home and car are becoming integrated with the Internet, in software applications and in smartphones…then this was a cool show. You may have also had fun with all the device and accessory companies selling Hello Kitty cases for your new Android device.
Every two weeks the Customer Platform Services team at Fiberlink hosts a webinar on topics of interest to mobile IT professionals. On November 4, we presented a webinar on Enabling Android in the Enterprise. The webinar was meant to provide practical advice to IT practitioners that wanted or needed to take advantage of the new Exchange features supported in Android 2.2 (Froyo) like remote-wipe and password policy enforcement.
For the last follow-up in my series of Five Ways to Reduce Wireless Spend I d like go into more detail about how to Enable User Self Management.
For the third follow-up in my series of Five Ways to Reduce Wireless Spend I d like go into more detail about Developing your Wireless Strategy and Leveraging Tools for Enforcement.
Imagine this: putting away your handheld and your laptop, for an entire day. (Please remember to breathe.)
I recently posted a blog entitled Five Ways to Reduce Wireless Spend. When I wrote it I had to pare down a lot of the content in order to keep it easily digestible. Now I am following up my original blog with more data.
I admit I need help. I can't get the Wonder Pets song out of my head. You know, the Nickelodeon show where a baby duck, a guinea pig, and turtle save everything from a mermaid to a cow in outer space. It's amusing and astounding to me (download it off iTunes—you'll see). I think about them every day, not so much because my youngest daughter watches the show nonstop, but mostly because my office phone literally … doesn't… stop… ringing.
Did you know that your Smartphone has exactly the same radio and data capabilities as that $400 data card sitting in the bottom of your bag? Yup, that cool shiny Smartphone you are so attached to and is never more than three feet away from you has all the capabilities and the same technology as that clunky USB dongle thing that you can never find when you need it.
As the Director of Technology at Fiberlink, some of my activities are centered on the evaluation of potential technology partners and solutions. The primary goals of this activity are to understand where Fiberlink might leverage a partner technology into the product strategy or to understand a competitive solution.

Kumbh Mela 2013: Bathing in the Ganges
If you climb up to high ground above the river plain, you begin to get a sense of the scale of the Kumbh Mela, especially at night. It stretches off in all directions. The sky above it is as light as the sky over a large metropolis, only there are no highrises here—nothing much higher than a lamp-post, in fact. The noise from hundreds of loudspeakers is incessant and very loud—like a human rainforest, technically enhanced.

Finding the Last Cheetahs of Iran
This week, National Geographic magazine published extraordinary new images of wild Asiatic cheetahs in Iran. That National Geographic was able to photograph these rarest of cheetahs is testament to 11 years of conservation work by the Iranian Department of Environment.

Arkansas Council Rejects Contract To Promote Exchange
Arkansas lawmakers have rejected a $4.5 million contract to promote the state's insurance marketplace under the federal health care law, a day before signup begins.
A vote to review the contract for the insurance exchange failed Monday before the Arkansas Legislative Council on a 15-26 vote.
It was unclear whether Gov. Mike Beebe would move forward with the contract despite the panel's vote.
The contract called for spending federal money on television, radio and newspaper advertising as well as direct mail and billboards to promote the exchange.
About 500,000 Arkansans are expected to participate in the health insurance exchange, with open enrollment set to begin Tuesday.
Insurance Commissioner Jay Bradford says he believes Beebe still has the authority to move forward with the contract, despite the panel's vote.

G2/S2/B2/GV -- TURKEY -- Energy exploring in Aegean Sea

By Orhan Coskun;
ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey launched oil and gas exploration on Saturday in
the Gulf of Saros in the Aegean Sea, which it shares with Greece, Energy
Minister Hilmi Guler said.
Turkey's state oil firm TPAO also announced it would start oil exploration
with Brazil's Petrobras in the Black Sea in 2009, rather than 2011 as had
been planned previously.
"We started drilling work in the Gulf of Saros in the Aegean and this is
important for the works we have been carrying out recently. A good spot
was detected," Guler told a news conference.
Turkey and Greece have a territorial dispute over parts of the Aegean and
more than 20 years ago they almost went to war over oil exploration.
However, Athens indicated on Saturday that this time the Turkish work
would not provoke a dispute. "The exploration is taking place completely
in Turkish waters. As such there is no need for Greece to comment on the
situation," said a Greek foreign ministry official who declined to be
Greece has a territorial limit of six miles around its 2,000 or so Aegean
islands, but maintains it has the right to extend this to 12 miles. Turkey
has said such an extension would be cause for war.
In March 1987, then Greek Prime Minister Andreas Papandreou ordered
warships to sink a Turkish exploration vessel if it went ahead with plans
to enter Greek waters to conduct an oil survey.
Relations between Athens and Ankara have greatly improved in recent years.
Last month current Greek Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis made the first
visit to Turkey by a Greek premier in nearly half a century.
Mehmet Uysal, TPAO's general director, told the same conference in Ankara
that the area where the oil and gas exploration was carried out was within
six miles of the Turkish coast.
Uysal said TPAO would also start oil exploration in the Black Sea with
Brazil's Petrobras next year. "The seismic surveys near Sinop (on Turkey's
Black Sea coast) with Brazil's Petrobras were completed last year. We will
open the first well in 2009, two years earlier than 2011," Uysal said.
Petrobras will invest $400 million in the next four years for oil
exploration in the Black Sea, Uysal said. He also said TPAO hoped to find
rich gas reserves in the western Black Sea and rich oil reserves in the
eastern part.
"We hope to find a minimum 5 billion barrels of oil in the region where we
are searching for oil in the Black Sea with Petrobras," Uysal said.
TPAO itself will invest at least $826 million for oil and gas exploration
in Turkey and abroad in 2008, he said. Energy-importer Turkey will spend
an estimated $500 billion for oil and gas imports in the next 10 years,
Uysal said.
He also said TPAO would complete seismic surveys in the Mediterranean
within the next one and half years and would work jointly with foreign
Turkey ad Cyprus have also been involved in a dispute over oil exploration
in the Mediterranean. Last month Nicosia said it planned to launch a new
licensing round for hydrocarbons in offshore blocks in the eastern
Mediterranean on July 1.
Cyprus's first attempt to tap speculated deepwater reserves in the eastern
Mediterranean last year angered its northern neighbor Turkey.

Lessons from the NFL Saga
While not the typical topic of conversation for those of us working in the sexual and domestic violence fields, we have been talking about the NFL almost non-stop since the news first broke about Ray Rice's assault of his then fiance now wife Janay Palmer Rice. Sexual and domestic violence are not specific to the NFL or its players, and the events of recent months offer profound teachable moments for those who work in the field and for each and every one of us.
Check out the hashtags #WhyIStayed, #WhyILeft, and #HowIHelped for a sampling of the brave and courageous stories of survivors and those who have helped them in their journey to safety and justice.
JDI Applauds Passage of Comprehensive Domestic Violence Law
After years of advocacy, four of JDI's top priorities were passed as part of the comprehensive domestic violence bill signed by Governor Patrick on August 8, 2014. Thanks to all the survivors who shared their stories and inspired us by their courage and strength. Thanks also to the legisature for their leadership in passing this landmark piece of legislation.
JDI Launched LGBQ/T Campaign
Jane Doe Inc. in collaboration with our member program The Network/La Red has created the "I Want A World... Massachusetts" campaign to address sexual and domestic violence in the LGBQ/T (lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer and transgender) communities. Over twenty JDI member programs have signed on as Champions and Supporters. Thirty Boston University First Year Student Opportunity Program participants learned about the issues and organized throughout Boston.
What kind of world do you envision?
Share your vision through video, art, music, and poetry. Follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Youtube with the hashtags #IWAWMA or #IWantaWorld. Help spread the word. Join the conversation and help us shape a world free of sexual and domestic violence for everyone.

11 | Zach Mettenberger QB, LSU | 6'5" | 230 | B | 6.4 | Full Scouting Report |
Scouting Report: Zach Mettenberger - Quarterback Mettenberger originally enrolled at Georgia in 2009 and redshirted. He was charged and pleaded guilty to a sexual battery charge in the spring of 2010 and was removed from the football roster. He transferred to Butler Community College in Kansas and played there in the 2010 season. He then transferred to LSU. He was a backup in the 2011 season and has been the starter the last two seasons. Until this past Saturday at Ole Miss, he had been enjoying a productive season. In their first 6 games, he had thrown only two interceptions, but he had three on Saturday as LSU suffered their second loss of the season. For the year, Mettenberger has completed 135 of 207 passes for 2164 yards, 16 TDs and five interceptions. Mettenberger is a big guy at about 6'5 – 230. He is an average athlete and lacks top foot quickness. He has some straight line quickness but is not overly agile. I would say he runs in the 4.9 – 4.95 range. He plays in a pro-style offense and has played from both under center and in a spread this season. He shows adequate setup quickness, but he is not very mobile. Because of his lack of mobility, he does get sacked a lot. He will show a feel for pass rushers and step up in the pocket, but he cannot extend plays with his feet. He displays good throwing mechanics, holds the ball high, and has a quick compact delivery. He has very long arms but can get rid of the ball faster than many long armed QBs. He has good arm strength. He doesn't drill the ball, but he puts a nice spin on it and throws a very catchable ball. This season he has shown good accuracy and touch to go along with good ball placement. He shows poise in the pocket, is patient, and can go through a progression. In the games viewed, his decision making was good, and I didn't see many forced throws. LSU does have some designed rollouts, and he shows he can throw on the run, but he is not a threat to get yardage with his feet. When grading QBs you not only look at the physical traits but what they do in key situations. In one game (Georgia), Zach was 6-9 on third down including three TD passes. That is excellent production, but you don't see that every game. His on-field demeanor has also been good in the games I've seen. He has shown a great deal of improvement this season. Having a former NFL Head Coach/Offensive Coordinator (Cam Cameron) helps in his development. Still, at this time, I don't see an NFL starter. There are questions I need answered. As big as he is, I don't see a well-developed kid. He needs to spend more time in the weight room. While he has shown some on field leadership this year, I need to know more about his football character (passion for the game, work habits, competitive nature, etc.). His past indiscretions may have been just a sign of immaturity at the time, but at the position he plays, you have to have all the answers. There is still a long way to go in the evaluation process, and I will update this evaluation as I get all the answers. He is an interesting prospect, but at this time I wouldn't use a premium pick on him. |

17 | James Franklin QB, Missouri | 6'2" | 225 | C | 6.3 | Full Scouting Report |
Scouting Report: James Franklin – Quarterback Franklin has had good production the last three seasons at Missouri, but he has a problem with durability. He missed time last year (three games) and has not played in the last four games this year. Franklin has good size (6'2 – 230) to go along with good, but not great, athletic ability. He plays from a spread formation where they pass the ball about 60% of the time. They also do a lot of read option in the run game. Franklin looks to have better than average straight line speed, but I would not call him a quick footed, elusive athlete. At times, he can be almost flat footed in the pocket and his ability to avoid pass rushers is average. He is a better ball carrier than scrambler. The Missouri offense is more sophisticated now than it was when Blaine Gabbert was playing. Gabbert played from mostly a half-field read offense which is not the case now. Franklin goes through somewhat of a progression, but seldom do you see him get to the third option. While he has a strong arm and spins the ball well, I feel his accuracy is average. He has a deliberate overhand delivery, and the ball does not come out of his hand quickly. In the games viewed, he seldom had to put the ball in a tight window. His accuracy is best on shorter throws as is his ball placement. The further downfield he throws, the less accurate he is. He does flash being able to throw with touch, but again, he can struggle if he has to "thread the needle". Though a good runner, he is only average at extending plays with his feet. His ability to throw with accuracy on the run is average. Because of injuries, I have not seen as much tape on Franklin as I would like. Right now, I see him as a late round type who will need time to develop. With most clubs carrying only two quarterbacks on the active roster, I see James as a practice squad player as a rookie. In time he could develop into a competent number two quarterback, but I don't see potential starter ability at this time. If he is able to come back and play the final two games of the season and play in a bowl game, I will look at that tape for a possible upgrade. |
18 | Jordan Lynch QB, Northern Illinois | 6'0" | 216 | C | 6.3 | Full Scouting Report |
Scouting Report: If there is one player who has created a lot of conversation in the draftnik community this year, it's Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch. One group feels he has a chance to be an NFL quarterback. Another feels he will have to switch positions in order to have a chance. Yet another group feels he isn't even a prospect. Not that I want to sit on the fence, but I'm somewhere in between the first two groups. Lynch is a fifth-year senior and a two-year starter at Northern. He has become one of the most productive passers in school history throwing for over 6200 yards and 51 touchdowns. He has rushed for over 4300 yards and 48 TDs. The bulk of those numbers have come the last two seasons, leading the Huskies to a 24–4 record. Lynch does not have ideal QB size. He will measure in the 6003 – 212 pound area, and I estimate that he will run around 4.60. He is well built and strong to go along with good to very good overall athleticism. While he is not a burner, he has quick feet, a burst, and very good body control and change of direction. Jordan leads a read option type offense and will throw the ball 25–30 times a game. He also carries the ball himself 20–25 times a game. As a passer, he shows adequate arm strength. He can throw the ball 50+ yards downfield. There are QB's in the NFL who don't have Lynch's arm strength. I don't like that he doesn't consistently throw a tight ball. While the majority of his throws are tight, there are still too many that are loose spirals. A loose ball has no chance of cutting the wind. I noticed that he throws a tighter, higher velocity ball when he throws on the run. Lynch has fairly good mechanics. He has a compact overhand delivery and a quick release. He also shows good accuracy and ball placement with his throws. He is patient, can see the field, and find an open receiver. He does a good job going through a progression, and he is not one to force a throw. He has thrown only 14 interceptions in the last two seasons. What he does as well as any QB in the country is avoid the rush, extend plays with his feet, and run. When he decides to run, he is more like a running back than a QB. He is quick-footed and elusive and runs with power. He is an instinctive runner and can make people miss both in tight and in the open. The one thing a quarterback has to have in order to be successful is leadership. Lynch is an outstanding leader and has excellent football character. This will go a long way in determining his success at the next level. If I was doing the drafting, I would draft Lynch as a QB and let him show me he can't play QB before I would have him switch positions. He lacks ideal height and doesn't have a cannon for an arm, but he is a winner and has outstanding intangibles. While I don't see him as a future starter in the NFL, I do see a player that can be a more than adequate backup. The team that drafts Lynch has to have a plan for him, as he is different than most QBs. I dare say that if he was 6'2 or taller, we would be talking about him as a third round type guy and not a late rounder. Above all else, he is a football player! Follow me on Twitter - @greggabe |

I purchased a two fl oz bottle for about $8 and have been using it to sweeten things now for a few days and I must say I AM IN LOVE. I got the vanilla creme flavor and have used it in coffee, tea Greek yogurt, and Perrier and it is nice and sweet, you just need a few drops, seriously and it is very satisfying for my sweet tooth. Just letting you all know, wouldn't want to be accused of keeping a secret ;).
