Water Fight
Recorded: Friday, March 7, 2014
Senior Fellow Randy T. Simmons, co-editor of Aquanomics, looks at the battles over water in the western United States. Thirsty citizens of growing cities, farmers, factories and environmentalists are in a fight for a natural resource that is priced arbitrarily. Its value is determined not by the free market, but by bureaucrats. Outdated government reclamation projects and water policies have put residents of the Golden State at the mercy of the weather, and of government's mandatory regulations.

Protecting the health of all Californians means doing everything we can to make sure that working men and women come home healthy at the end of the day. Our jobs should be free of hazards known to cause injury, illness, or death. No one should have to choose between working in pain and not working.
Much of the environmental pollution that threatens our communities originates in the workplace. Controlling workplace hazards not only protects workers; it makes our homes, schools, and communities safer for everyone. Preventing worker injury and illness also protects families from the uncertainty and financial stress that results when a parent or family member is disabled or unable to work.
The Occupational Health Branch in the California Department of Public Health works to prevent injury and illness on the job before they happen. We identify and evaluate job hazards, provide information on new hazards, and work with our partners to develop safer ways to work.
The Occupational Health Branch is currently focusing major prevention efforts in the areas of work-related asthma, fatal injuries, flavorings-related lung disease, work-related lead poisoning, pesticide illness, chemical hazards in the workplace, and cosmetic safety.

The Knight Bus is a triple-decker, purple AEC Regent III RT that assists stranded individuals of the wizarding community through public transportation. It operates at a very fast speed and obstacles will jump out of its way. To hail the bus, a witch or wizard must stick their wand hand in the air in the same manner that a Muggle might do to hail a taxi. During the early 1990s, the Knight Bus' conductor was Stan Shunpike, who greets passengers and handles baggage, and was driven by Ernie Prang.
The Knight Bus was first commissioned in 1865 as a method for underage or infirim wizards to transport themselves discreetly. The idea was proposed by then-Minister Dugald McPhail, after a number of other idea such as broomsticks with sidecars were vetoed.[1]
Inside, during the night, the Knight Bus has beds, curtained windows, candles burning in brackets beside each bed, and thirteen Sickles buys a cup of hot chocolate, while fifteen gets a hot water bottle and a toothbrush in any colour. During the day, there are just seats that are apparently not bolted down. The bus does not seem to have much in the way of safety features, as passengers and luggage alike are being thrown around the inside of the bus during its haphazard manoeuvres.
Known passengers
In 1993, Harry Potter stumbled across the Knight Bus after leaving 4 Privet Drive following the inadvertent inflation of his Aunt Marge. On the same day, Madam Marsh was using the Knight Bus to travel to Abergavenny. In 1996, Harry, Ron and Hermione travelled back to Hogwarts from 12 Grimmauld Place on the Knight Bus after the Christmas holidays.
The Knight Bus is named after the various night bus services throughout Great Britain, as well as a play on the word "knight", as it gives the connotation that the vehicle comes to the rescue of those who need it.[2]
Behind the scenes
- The Knight Bus seen in the 2004 movie Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban used a body constructed from three seperate RT-class AEC Regent III buses. The triple-deck body was then fitted to a Dennis Javelin bus chassis.
- Since Apparition would be a faster and more practical way of transportation, the Knight Bus may be used for those who cannot use Apparition or Portkeys, and therefore need the bus, and may even be accessible to Squibs.
- In the film version of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, a talking Shrunken Head with a Caribbean accent was hung from the rear-view mirror.
- In the book, items appear to jump away to avoid collision. In the film, the bus just swerves around or squeezes past (or through) obstacles, and in terms of the latter, the driver is shown throwing a switch that causes the bus to contract.
- In the book, Harry identifies himself to Shunpike as "Neville Longbottom." In the film, he does not give a name.
- One notable feature of the film adaptation of the Knight Bus is the large chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
- Two buses were made for the film: one for the exterior shots and one for the interior shots.
- In 2010, for the grand opening ceremony of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, in Orlando Florida, some of the actors from the film series arrived at the ceremony in a replica of the Knight Bus.
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, the Knight Bus squeezes in between two London Buses brick by brick.
- In a International trailer for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry says to Stanley Shunpike while riding the Knight Bus: "Isn't this a bit dangerous?" to which Stan replies: "No. We haven't had an accident in about a week." These lines were cut from the final version of the movie.
- The LEGO Harry Potter Knight Bus sets are noted for their heavy use of purple bricks, which are rare and therefore much valued both for novelty and for collectors to use in their "My Own Creations."[3]
- The Leaky Cauldron offers tickets for the Knight Bus as part of its room service.[4]

ATLANTA (AP) -- High school graduation rates are lagging for minority students in Georgia.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Georgia's 67 percent graduation rate is among the country's worst.
But the percentage of black and Hispanic students who graduate within four years is lower. Recent statistics from the U.S. Department of Education for the 2010-2011 school year show 60 percent of Georgia's black students graduated in four years. The state's Hispanic students had a 58 percent graduation rate.
Three states had a lower Hispanic graduation rate than Georgia, and seven states had lower graduation rates for black students.

LED Flood Lights
LED Flood lights offer the perfect solution when it comes to lighting large outdoor spaces. Robust, stylish and extremely energy efficient, this type of outdoor lighting leaves old fashioned floodlights firmly in the shade. Previously such floodlighting was the stronghold of halogen, due to the power generally needed to illuminate such large spaces. However, with the significant leaps forward in LED technology in recent years, this grip has been significantly loosened to the point where LED is the obvious technology to turn to.
A compelling case for LED Flood Lights
When it comes to floodlighting LED has three compelling advantages over its rivals:
- Uses 80-90% less energy than incandescent technologies
- Vibration and shock-proof
- Longer life
Cost and durability are key factors when selecting any form of outdoor lighting.
It's fair to say that halogen lights may initially seem a cheaper option and if only used sparingly may provide an ample solution to your lighting needs but if like most flood fittings they are frequently used and are left on for significant amount of time LED is the only way to go, and the return on your investment will be swift!
Variety available
Our range of LED floodlights has been created to suit all budgets and fulfil all requirements. Whether you are looking for something simple, effective and efficient or a floodlight that goes above and beyond the call of duty, you should find something to suit here.

No snow accumulated in nearly all of Eastern Carolina, but there was still the concern about icy roads after so much rain fell overnight while temperatures dropped.
WITN's Lynnette Taylor reports streets in Greenville were just wet before sunrise this morning but were quickly drying out. That's thanks to clearing skies and gusting winds, according to Meteorologist Jim Howard.
The possibility of slick roads exists in some northern areas, especially on bridges and overpasses. Halifax and Northampton Counties report clear roads with possibly icy spots.
Lynnette checked in with the DOT in Pitt County, which put its crews on standby Thursday night. All of their trucks were still parked in their places early Friday.
People headed west of I-95, however, could face serious traffic troubles in the Triangle. There are reports of very icy conditions in the Raleigh area, causing an onslaught of traffic accidents.

The wise are glad to be instructed, but babbling fools fall flat on their faces.
I'm going to be honest with you and let you know that I hate being told what to do. I really should have followed the lead of my father and gone into business for myself, because I believe that is the best place for those of us that are ADHD and have difficulty being told what to do. Now don't misunderstand me to say that I don't listen to anyone, because that is not the case. If I know that someone is an expert in their field or has the credentials and track record to back up what they are saying then I will listen to them. I am very open to teachers, philosophers, and great leaders, but I just don't liked to be bossed around. Well this passage would lead me to believe that there are defiantly times that I need to shut-up and allow myself to be instructed. What about you?
The point I think we need to get here is that we should at least be open to being instructed and yes...bossed around a bit. We should welcome other's instruction into our life. It doesn't mean we always have to follow the instructions from others, but we should hear them out. Most of us (me) are quick to "babbling" when being instructed, and Solomon tells us to just listen and welcome other's input.
Thought for the day: Let's all work on giving others a chance to give us instruction. If you are like me, you know that you are a genius, know it all, and should always be the leader, but we should at least give others a chance (insert lol). Seriously, we can learn from others and should at least give them a chance to be heard. Who knows, we may just learn something!

Nominations for the Golden Globe Awards were handed out yesterday, and "Lincoln" led the way with SEVEN nominations. Following with FIVE were BEN AFFLECK'S "Argo" and QUENTIN TARANTINO'S "Django Unchained".
--All three of them were nominated for Best Drama . . . along with "Life of Pi" and "Zero Dark Thirty". The nominees for Best Musical or Comedy are "Les Miserables", "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel", "Moonrise Kingdom", "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen" and "Silver Linings Playbook".

--And the Best Comedy or Musical nominees are: "The Big Bang Theory", "Episodes", "Girls", "Modern Family" and somewhat surprisingly NBC's "Smash".
--Perhaps the biggest snub is PETER JACKSON'S "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey". It was eligible, but didn't come away with anything.
--Other blockbusters like "The Dark Knight Rises" and the new James Bond movie "Skyfall" were also shut out . . . althoughADELE did get a nomination for her "Skyfall" theme song.
--"The 70th Annual Golden Globes" will air live on Sunday, January 13th on NBC. AMY POEHLER and TINA FEY are hosting. (--And interestingly enough, they're also competing against each other for Best Actress in a Comedy Series.)
Did a Drunken Daniel Radcliffe Get Thrown Out of a Bar for Fighting With the DJ?
DANIEL RADCLIFFE once said he gave up drinking in August of 2010 . . . because he'd become an alcoholic by the age of 18. Well, the "New York Post" says he's back on the sauce.
--Daniel was reportedly downing JAGER BOMBS at a joint called the Beauty Bar in New York when he got into some kind of argument with the DJ. A source says, quote, "He was soon encouraged by management to grab a cab."
Liam Hemsworth Was Filmed Throwing Down With a Guy Outside a Bar in Philly
LIAM HEMSWORTH was filmed throwing down with a guy outside a bar in Philadelphia early Sunday morning. The footage hit the web yesterday.
--When the footage starts, the guy is on the ground trying to hold onto the legs of Liam and a friend. So Liam clocks him, and he and his friend push him off. And that's the end of it. We don't know what led up to that.
--But sources say Liam went after the guy because he thought he had thrown a rock at Liam and his friends. Police eventually broke it up, but they didn't arrest anyone.
Russell Brand is Making Sure the Homeless in L.A.
RUSSELL BRAND is quickly becoming the patron saint of the homeless. He recently left for a trip to Australia. But before he did, he gave his friends wads of cash . . . so they could hand it out to the homeless in L.A. over the holidays.
--A source says, quote, "Russell didn't want them to be left high and dry overnight. He asked pals to make sure these guys are OK while he's away.
--"So they have been taking them along for food and making sure they've got warm clothing and a few dollars in their pocket until he gets back."
--The source adds that Russell usually spends around $2,000 a month, quote, "just helping people out."
Stupid New Reality Show Coming Your Way: "Best Funeral Ever"
TLC has a new reality show on the way called "Best Funeral Ever", which is about a crazy funeral home in Dallas that does over-the-top "theme" funerals.
--According to "Entertainment Weekly", examples include "a Christmas-inspired funeral complete with reindeer, elves and snow . . .
--"And a singer known for his famous rib sauce jingle remembered at a BBQ-themed funeral . . . including live pigs, praise dancers, and a BBQ sauce fountain where loved ones dip a ceremonious rib to say goodbye."
--It'll begin with a special on the day after Christmas . . . and if that does OK, they'll make it into a full-blown series in 2013.

Ash's Oshawott
this wiki
Oshawott was one of the Unova Region's starter Pokemon who was under the care of Professor Juniper. When the new trainer, Trip and Ash Ketchum who had arrived from Kanto before Trip got here in Nuvema Town witnessed the three Pokemon being shown for the first time, Oshawott made such a good impression that Ash even called it "cute", causing the Water Pokemon to become embarrassed.
Trip eventually chose Snivy which caused Oshawott to become as still as a statue and fall over in shock. Oshawott, however developed an interest in Ash and left Juniper's lab, following the young Trainer from a distance. Oshawott later proved his worth by saving Ash's Pikachu and Iris's Axew from Team Rocket's clutches before fleeing the scene.
Oshawott finally showed himself to Ash and begged for Ash to take him along. Unfortunately, after attempting to capture Oshawott in a Poke Ball and failing, Ash realized that the Oshawott in question was the same one he had seen back at Professor Juniper's lab. Ash contacted Juniper who had become worried over Oshawott's mysterious disappearance and after getting her approval, obtained Oshawott's Poke Ball which gave Oshawott permission to fulfill his dream of travelling with Ash at last but Oshawott had gone missing again. After nearly falling into boiling water while stopping a dam from cracking, Ash saved Oshawott's life by returning the Pokemon to his Poke Ball, resulting in Oshawott becoming Ash's newest addition to his Unova team and also a permanent member of his overall team of Pokemon.
Known Moves
|Water Gun +
|Enter Iris and Axew
|Triple Leaders, Team Threats
|Razor Shell +
|Dreams by the Yard Full!
|Aqua Jet +
|Rematch at the Nacrene Gym
|Hydro Pump +
|Expediton to Onix Island!
|+ indicates this Pokémon used this move recently.*
- indicates this Pokémon normally can't use this move.
Voice Actors
Misato Fukuen (Japanese)
Lisa Ortiz (English)
- Oshawott is the first of all Ash's starters to not be caught after a Grass-type starter was captured (Tepig was second as always with fire types), Ash captured a grass-starter in each region first, then catching the other starters later on.
- Besides Pikachu, Oshawott is the only other starter Ash got from a Professor. Ironically, Oshawott is the Water starter, which is what Ash wanted to start his journey with when he planned to pick Squirtle as his starter.
- Oshawott seems to be over-confident, but at the same time scared of many things.
- Oshawott comes out of its Poké Ball on its own much like Misty's Psyduck, Brock's Croagunk, Jessie's Wobbuffet and May's Skitty.
- Though male, Oshawott's English Dub voice actor is Pokémon voice veteran Lisa Ortiz.
- Oshawott can't fight well without his shell. This is probably because he uses it as a shield. This may also be because of one of his signature moves "Razor Shell", a Water-type move much the same as 'Razor Leaf'.
- He has very similar personality traits to Dawn's Piplup and Ash's Gliscor, as Piplup can be spoiled at times and that Gliscor tries to get Ash's affection a lot and had a fear to overcome.
- Oshawott has a developed crush on Iris's Emolga. Like Dawn's Buneary has a crush on Ash's Pikachu.
- A running gag is when Oshawott is not chosen for battle he becomes a white statue and faints.
- Oshawott's water-related fear is similar to Misty's Psyduck's Hydrophobia when he closed his eyes underwater using Aqua Jet.
- When Oshawott is mad, he throws his scalchop on the ground, picks it up, and place it back on his chest.
- Oshawott was the star of two episodes: Oshawott's Lost Scalchop! and Facing Fear With Eyes Wide Open!
- Oshawott can sometimes be jealous of Ash's and Pikachu's relationship (which is similar to Bayleef and Aipom). However, it was only shown in the first few episodes of Pokémon Black and White (In Anime).
- Oshawott seems to be the more romantic member of Ash's team, as he's developed more crushes on any other Pokèmon than anyone else on Ash's teams in the entire Anime.
- He develops a crush on Iris' Emolga (though it is revealed that she likes Iris' Axew when he had a crush on her first), Misha's Purrloin (though it is revealed that it was actually male), Georgia's Vanilluxe (though it only likes Dragon-type Pokemons like Iris' Axew), Dawn's Buneary (though it already had a crush on Ash's Pikachu) and a wild Meloetta (though it seems that Dawn's Piplup also does more that him, causing a clash between the two).
- Oshawott can be really glutinous, sometimes it's enough to make him fat.

I completely agree wholeheartedly and this is the exact problem with return and sp drain. Example 1: Player A bounces player B's whole field, player B has no field and player A then plays by himself. Example 2: Player A drains player B's sp, player B can't play cards and so player A plays by himself. Play a big file, sp drain and assassin screws you. Play a small file, return screws you. In other words, there are no counters. Traditional Yugioh and Vintage MTG are both more balanced, counters do truly exist in those games rather than imaginary concepts here.
Except that's a ridiculous exaggeration. You can't bounce a "whole field" with returns, unless you're playing Diondora control. And you can't SP drain all of someone's SP. Shade gives you at most a 1 SP advantage. Exchange of souls is AT MOST a 1 SP advantage (1 SP for the grim, 1 SP unit sacrificed, drain 3). Death's embrace is AT MOST even.
Returning a level 3 unit is an SP [b]trade.
It's just that your SP is tied up reviving and setting units, because you wanted to play a high unit count (read: high SP) game and Lwatia/Falkow said "no".

NEWTON, MA | April 9, 2002
All states should establish mandatory requirements for licensing teachers who plan to teach at the middle level, and college graduate programs should establish programs that specifically prepare teachers to teach young adolescents. Those are just two of the recommendations put forth in a new policy statement issued by the National Forum to Accelerate Middle-Grades Reform.
To ensure that middle-grades teachers across the country are effective in reaching and teaching their students, the Forum believes it is critical that teachers have a deep understanding of both the subjects they teach, and how to help students learn the concepts of demanding curricula. Middle-grades teachers must have a good understanding of the unique challenges of early adolescence and the ability to work with this age group.
"Lack of specialized teacher preparation for middle-grades teachers amounts to malpractice," said Ken McEwin of Appalachian State University, a member of the National Forum's policy committee, which helped draft the statement. "If we believe that young children need teachers with special training in early childhood education, why would we not think young adolescents need and deserve teachers trained to teach this special age group?" McEwin said.
The Forum notes that special credentials are required for teaching elementary and high school, but there is no such requirement in many states for the special training and licensing of teachers working at the middle level.
In its policy statement, the National Forum advocates that:
- every state require middle-level teachers to have middle-level credentials
- middle-level licensure should be specific to the middle grades and not overlap significantly with licensure for elementary or high school teaching
- colleges and universities design teacher preparation and professional development programs that specifically prepare future and current teachers to work with this age group
The policy statement concludes, "Implementing these recommendations will serve as an incentive for both institutions and individuals to pursue middle-level specialization and for districts and schools to hire teachers who are well prepared to teach this age level."
The National Forum is a group dedicated to improving education in the middle grades. Forum members include educators, researchers, representatives of national associations, and officers of professional organizations and foundations. The policy on teacher preparation is the second in a series of statements published by the Forum.

This week's program will be about the ocean's Abyss! The abyssopelagic layer starts at a depth around 12000 feet and ends at the ocean floor or the 'Abyssal Plain' a completely darkened habitat under extreme pressure with pressure consistently just above freezing. The creatures that live at these depths have adapted to survive the extremes of the zone and include the angler fish, the viper fish and the giant squid.
Our afternoon starts off with self-guided activities, challenges, or puzzles that lead us to our topic for the day. As a group, we'll observe, investigate, and compare wildlife, their adaptations, and the changes that they undergo in autumn. Participants may play the role of entomologist, ornithologist, astronomer, or even glaciologist throughout this series. Each experience will leave your young naturalist eager for the next session.
- This program is open to children in grades 1 through 4, aged 6-8.
- Parents are welcome to stay during this program.
- Please dress for the weather since we will go outside in all but extreme conditions.
If you will be dropping off your child, please complete and submit the health form that accompanies your registration confirmation.

Hi everyone. First of all, I'm sorry for incoming english mistakes, because it's not my native language.
I'm a video game designer, but actually working on a personal project (a medieval-fantastic universe) in which I make some "traditional" games (a LCG, a figs one, a PnP RPG and several board/card games). I also plan to write some novels or books. There are 3 worlds (planets) in 3 different planes of existence, but one of them is the "main world" where everything happens. For now, I made a map alone but I'm approaching a project phase requiring more "professionnal" and detailed rendering. The actual map not looks that nice, like I'm not graphist at all and there is a huge lack of islands and mountains. (see attached file for actual map).
I found this website thanks to a Youtube video of RPGmapmaker (this one). That's why I'm here, I'm really impressed of everyone's maps here, it looks like a dream.
About payment : I actually have not much money, but like I would be really grateful (I can not even describe how would I feel) of the work if someone take the request, if I succeed on editing my games/stories on this universe, I will really happy to give money to map maker, even if editor don't want it as a final product (usually, they hire their own graphists).
Moreover, I will probably need more than one map, and if my make money with the project, I'll give some money for everyone of these. And be sure I'm not a stingy scrooge when I'm happy
But depending on would you ask for it, I probably can pay without waiting.
I felt in love with a Ramah's map, which is approximately (or exactly) what I'm looking for. -> Mydresia
The map should have more islands, mountains and rivers, a "new" region in the south-east, which is an archipelago in suspension. I just need the map, with no labels on it. If someone take the request, of course I will explain everything in details and we can discuss of it.
Quality & Size
As good as possible ; Size at least 2 times bigger if possible.
But I don't want a smaller one
Time Constraints
Actually no time limit. But the sooner is the best, which can "unlock" me some working opportunities, especially on RPG and novels.
I would like reproduction rights to the map
I will have the right to use the image for commercial purposes, the artist will have the right to exhibit the image as part of his portfolio but not to exploit it for commercial gain.
Every shows of the map will be credited to you (in a rulebook for instance).
Contact Details
Send me a PM or mail at : email@example.com
I can provide actual .psd of the attached map.
Thanks for reading !

On Dec 4 2009, Google bought Appjet inc, the company behind etherpad.com, a site that had actually managed to implement bug-free real-time collaborative writing.
The immediate action from Google was to cancel the service, thus blocking access to ongoing pads, and "integrate" the staff in the Google Wave project. This was nothing short of buying and killing competition.
After heavy protests about the shutdown of etherpad.com from it's small but dedicated user community, they changed their strategy and released the source code.
The etherpads are not only resilient now, but extra features are being added to pads all over the world. F.A.T.pad is probably the only one featuring motivational teen-rnb from Sweden to get your creative juices flowing.
Please don't use F.A.T.pad for evil. Go to lolpad for that.

100 Year Old Ruth Lifting Weights
A few months ago I shot an editorial for a German fashion magazine called me.style with some of the ladies and gentleman from Advanced Style. I was one of five photographers chosen to work on a story about "Fashion and Fame", and the only one to use models over 40. Check out 100 year old Ruth lifting weights in a pair of her favorite gloves, and Joyce 80, wearing some of her best vintage accessories. I was honored to work on this project. I hope the photos above inspire you to dress up and stay active, no matter how old you are.

Lithium-ion Battery
Lithium ion batteries are common in consumer electronics. They are one of the most popular types of battery for portable electronics, with one of the best energy-to-weight ratios, no memory effect, and a slow loss of charge when not in use. In addition to uses for consumer electronics, lithium-ion batteries are growing in popularity for defense, automotive, and aerospace applications due to their high energy density. However, certain kinds of mistreatment may cause conventional Li-ion batteries to explode.

3 Patrat jump on a branch to make apples fall out of the tree, while a Emolga watches them. After the Patrat jump off the branch ready to eat their apples, Emolga jumps out of the tree and pretends she's dead. The Patrat stare at her. Emolga wakes up and uses Attract on 1 Patrat and he gives her an apple. Then she uses Attract on the other 2 Patrat and they give her all their apples. Emolga runs off and the Patrat say goodbye and realize what they did. The Patrat scream and Emolga laughs.
Meanwhile, On their way to Nimbasa City Ash, Iris, Cilan and Bianca are having lunch. Soon, they encounter the same Emolga that took the apples from the Patrat. Emolga steals the apples, but then Iris forgives Emolga and offers her apples, but Bianca arrives trying to capture the Emolga with Minccino. During the battle, not only does she shock everyone with Discharge, but instead of Minccino, Oshawott falls under Emolga's love spell.
After the battle, Iris and Bianca race to see who can catch up with Emolga, with Iris, being the wild girl she is, runs up a tree and jumps from branch to branch, while Bianca is stuck with the ground route. Emloga finds Iris, but they fall from a chasm into deeper forest.
Bianca tries to find Emolga, but finds more wild Pokemon who attack her, Ash and Cilan. They are Scolipede, Galvantula, and Patrat. Emolga makes waves, but soon finds hordes of Swoobats attacking Iris, Axew and her. As much as Emolga attacks them with Electric attacks, there are more and more Swoobats. Their plan is to get into a cave, but not for long until Swoobats attack them with ultra-sonic attacks. Iris takes her Excadrill out, but the Excadrill is (still) sleeping.
Ash, Cilan and Bianca pass through and they notice lightning from nearby field. Emolga attacks the Swoobats, but finds herself in a dangerous position, The Swoobats attack her again, but Pickachu attacks the Swoobats, making them go away. In the end, Emolga comes back to Iris. Bianca tries to capture her, but Emolga decides to stay with Iris. Iris captures Emolga and, without resistance, captures her successfully.
- Strangely, Swoobat can only learn Round by TM which would suggest that either: All of the Swoobat were previously owned by trainers or they had found and used a TM Round one themselves.
- Iris's Excadrill is confirmed male in this episode.
- This marks the first time Iris catches a Pokémon on-screen.
- Professor Oak's Live Caster: Patrat
- Who's That Pokémon?: Emolga (US)

The NFL and the referees' union have reached a tentative contract agreement, ending an impasse that began in June when the league locked out the officials and used replacements instead.
With Commissioner Roger Goodell at the table, the sides concluded two days of talks at midnight Thursday with the announcement of a tentative deal, which must be ratified by the union's 121 members.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello tweeted "Pleased to report that an agreement has been reached with the NFL Referees Association. Details to follow."
The replacements worked the first three weeks of games, triggering a wave of frustration that threatened to disrupt the rest of the season. After a missed call cost the Green Bay Packers a win on a chaotic final play at Seattle on Monday night, the two sides really got serious.
It was not certain who would work this week's games, which begin Thursday night with Baltimore hosting Cleveland.

GREENVILLE, N.C. (AP) - East Carolina University will continue to provide autopsy services while a new contract is negotiated with the state.
Reports say the new agreement will avoid a sharp reduction in the number of cases handled.
The Greenville medical examiner's office was scheduled to end service to all but two of the 24 counties for which it conducts autopsies after losing funding that helped pay for the procedures.
Crystal Baity with East Carolina says the state Department of Health and Human Services recently proposed a new contract that could allow services to continue at the university's Brody School of Medicine for the next fiscal year.
Baity says autopsy services will be provided to all the counties while the details of the contract are completed.

A dog is safe and sound thanks to firefighters, who rescued him after a fire broke out on the back deck of his home early Sunday morning.
Neighbors spotted the fire at a home on the 4100 block of Brush Creek shortly before 5:30 a.m. and called the Colorado Springs Fire Department. A spokesman with the Fire Department says the neighbors' vigilance at spotting and reporting the fire likely saved the home; crews were able to get to the scene quickly enough to contain the fire to the deck.
Though no people were home at the time, firefighters were informed on the way to the scene that a family pet was trapped inside. Crews searched the home for the dog and got him out of the house.
The dog is now staying with a neighbor until his owners return.

An 82-year-old man who investigators said went missing Sunday was found nearly 150 miles from home after wrecking his car along Highway 11 in Martin County.
Mebane Police told WITN 82-year-old Donald Faucette went missing Sunday last night. He was the subject of a silver alert issued statewide around 5 p.m. that day as authorities believe he suffered from some kind of cognitive impairment.
WITN got word from police this morning, he was found safe at Martin General Hospital in Williamston early Monday morning. That location is nearly 150 miles from Faucette's home.
Fire officials said the 82-year-old wrecked his car near Oak City along Highway 11 North around 1:30 Monday morning.
Faucette was taken to Martin General after the wreck, according to fire officials.

The mayor told The Record newspaper that the governor had taken "a big step" in doing so by coming to Fort Lee, and that he appreciated Christie's visit.
Christie also publicly apologized at a Trenton news conference Thursday morning after emails appeared to show a top aide wanted highway lanes near the George Washington Bridge closed in September because the mayor wasn't endorsing Christie. Christie fired the aide.

2014: W3C Turns 20 and The Web Turns 25 Planning Task Force
Marilyn Siderwicz, W3C Staff
Troy Allison, Intel Manyoung Cho, W3Labs (Korea) Ian Jacobs, W3C Staff Dillon Mann, The Web Foundation Karen Myers, W3C Staff Amy van der Hiel, W3C Staff
Goals of the Anniversary Task Force:
Create a proposal to submit to W3M about ways to celebrate W3C and Web anniversaries. Proposal should include strategies and tactics, identification of partners, opportunities for funding, etc.
Deadline: May 31, 2013 (to be presented at the June AC Meeting Agenda in Tokyo, 10-June). Check-in meeting scheduled with CEO Jeff Jaffe on April 2013. Official presentation at Woods Meeting, July 2013.
- Celebrate W3C's history, but more importantly, celebrate how the Open Web Platform is evolving!
- Opportunity to strengthen W3C's global brand and positioning to lead to greater participation and revenue growth
- For any new potential sponsorship/philanthropic resources, make sure these institutions also get some benefit in return.
Target Markets:
- Members and prospects
- Technology (and Business) organization representatives
- Developers
- Staff
- Youth? (special emphasis on 'learn to code' per TimBL's recent messaging?)
- Everyman (creating a general buzz)
- Anniversary activities should be global, online, unified (across W3C and with The Web Foundation where possible).
- Leverage social media for greater viral opportunities
(images, videos, tumblr, facebook, twitter)
- Position as the world's celebration…all the people who are participating take a bow and congratulate yourself on doing good/important work.
- Arm our supporters to help spread the word for us.
- E.g. Ask members to display anniversary logo on their websites
- Stickers (geeks love stickers); tshirts, site logos, site banners
- Leverage existing opportunities planned for 2014 to gain efficiencies. For example, consider ways to integrate celebration with existing global events or themes:
- May 2013 task force suggestion: let's leverage existing W3C/Tim/TWF events/activities first in 2014 with bottom-up approach (anniversary theme/logo/speaker briefing/etc.)
2014 Calendar of existing activities
|IntlCES (LasVegas)
|AC Mtg?
|Persons with Disabilities Day, 9Dec
|TED (Vancouver)
|WebIndexForum (London)
|Human Rights Day, 10Dec
|Davos (Switz)
|CERN event(TBD)
At a minimum, I think we'll need a web page/site where people can post their thoughts and best wishes (e.g. http://mitpress.mit.edu/50Years). Other potential tactics (financing TBD) include ads, PR (op/eds, announcements, etc.), events, online campaigns (marketing or philanthropic), crowdsourced 'something', global partnerships, contests, awards, messaging using public digital signage (NY Times Square and other global hubs), attention grabbers (e.g. MIT umbrella LED human exhibit), social media (blogs, tweets, YouTube videos, etc.), TV like CNN, BBCWorldNews, Big Bang Theory TBL guest appearance, 60 Minutes (US), hackathons, conference, cartoons (e.g. France's Boulet Corp.), lightpost banners outside our host institutions, etc.
- CERN is celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2014. In April 2013, it began promoting 'the 20th anniversary of the Web' as it defines it. See the following info/links. NOTE: TimBL (through Dillon Mann at TWF) replied to Canada's national newspaper, The Globe and Mail, that his definition of the Web's anniversary is different than CERN's (and his view is the anniversary year is 2014, not 2013).
TimBl's direction: I suggest you answer this Dillon mentioning....
- This is NOT the first web page anniversary. CERN are celebrating a letter from CERN disclaiming royalty rights, which was around 18 months later.
- The first web page was around November 1990.
We (W3C and WF) will be celebrating the memo which described the web and - started the whole web project in March 1989, which will be 25 years in 2014
(By the way, between ourselves, I am enthusiastic about the web site restoration project but I would have liked to be more in the loop and am a bit taken aback.)
other news articles quoting CERN's 2013 Web anniversary date:
There were many more. Unfortunately, this will make it more difficult for us to gain publicity about our celebrating the anniversary in 2014.
Other global events occurring in 2014:
CES, Las Vegas (Jan.)
Mobile World Congress, Barcelona, Spain (Feb).
Winter Olympics, Sochi, Russia (AT&T, GM among lead advertisers)
2014 Year of the Horse in China (all year).
WWW2014, So. Korea (May)
World Cup 2014 (soccer/football), Brazil (12-Jun). W3C has prospects at FOX in Latin America who has the media contract that could become Web ad partners. Can you imagine a campaign using the word 'Goal!' related to the Web...?
W3C AC Meeting (TBD)
2014 Asian Games, So. Korea (19-Sept)
International Day of Persons with Disabilities, (9-Dec.?)
Also, Amy notes that each year, September 22, One Web Day does a celebration with videos, tshirts, badges, etc. (see their I <3 the Web image )
Alignment with The Web Foundation's anniversary activities:
The Web Foundation (TWF) has multiple initiative underway to celebrate the Web at 25 Years.
A. TWF is working with other activists and organizations around the world to define a movement called "The Web We Want." (It appears to be an offshoot of the United Nation's campaign: The World We Want.) It includes:
- Partnership with MyWorld2015.org or http://www.myworld2015.org/index.html?page=about-my-world
"MY World is a United Nations global survey for citizens. Working with partners, we aim to capture people's voices, priorities and views, so world leaders can be informed as they begin the process of defining the next set of global goals to end poverty."
- The Eden Stanley Group http://www.edenstanley.co.uk/ helped to shape early strategy but are no longer involved in the campaign.
B. TWF also is partnering with a U.K.-based arts organization. They are looking to create an initiative in 2014 that celebrates the Web's role in the arts. Integrating W3C somehow in this initiative is desirable.
C. Other: including awards, contests, etc. are yet to be defined/determined. however, these may also represent W3C partner opportunities.
Note: The Web We Want is not TWF's theme for the anniversary. There was some confusion about this by Marilyn at W3C in early 2013; W3C was beginning to complement this theme with our own, "We Build...The Web Web Want." However, Dillon cleared up the misunderstanding. Instead, TWF is in the process of identifying an integrated marketing communications agency (will be identified when selected) with whom it intends to engage to produce a unifying strategy and a global theme for anniversary activities. Of course, W3C has an interest in these discussions as well. Marilyn updated the W3C MIT team at weekly all staff meeting on 7May. TimBL suggested the marketing agency interview W3C as part of its research. Dillon at WF confirms that we would be glad to have the agency do this. The Web We Wan is the working title for the campaigning coalition TWF is convening, but it is not the overall theme for the 25th anniversary celebrations.
Approaches to consider:
- After a mid-term update discussion Marilyn, Amy and Jeff Jaffe had in April, Jeff suggested we consider Tim's April team email (see Tim's full email text in last section of this site, "Background Information" and subsequent team thread talking about Open Licensing/One Open Web as a possible theme for the anniversary. Here's another link from Robin Berjon for more information. I think we, as a task force, need to decide if/how we might leverage this concept for the anniversary.
- THIS APPROACH NOW HAS BEEN SUPER-CEDED BY DISCUSSION WITH JEFF (SEE ABOVE) After a discussion Marilyn had with Ian in March, we brainstormed what W3C would do with $ x USD as a budget for anniversary celebrations. We filled in $100k-$200k as an example. We decided to focus activities on youth and partner with code.org, girlswhocode.com, or some other partner with whom we could leverage what's already underway. We estimated we would need the budget to create a special W3C/partner anniversary web page with a specific call to action. the budget would help cover design, executive, maintenance, including assets and human resources required. Here's another example of something along the same idea from Toyota:
- Amy suggests other theme ideas including: "I love the Web" because people really do love the web. Is there a phrase to help personalize it? "Our Web", ("My Web" already TM)
Tim's quote: "The Web is humanity connected by technology" is a nice place to start considering for theme for this maybe)
- For comparison, here's Mozilla's 15 Year Anniversary announcement.
Main Challenges:
- Creating a concept and message that carries the same meaning and communicates clearly in multiple languages and different cultural contexts.
Funding Partner Opportunities:
- Members companies...Marilyn to supply email text to Ian to ask AC Reps to invite their marketing or philanthropic staff to get involved. UPDATE: 16-April, the email was set a couple of weeks ago, but unfortunately no one responded by the deadline, 15-April 2013. Karen did mention that Monotype did forward the task force invitation internally though, so at least we know of one examples where the AC rep followed through.
- W3C counsel Wendy Seltzer volunteered to reach out to acquaintance, Wikimedia Foundation Exec Dir Sue Gardner. Gardner is stepping down in 2013 to find other opportunities to support the Open Web. She brought strong philanthropic success to Wikipedia through the foundation. Unfortunately, Gardner did not respond to Wendy's email outreach.
- Sean Milliken, director of nonprofit strategy for eBay.
Interesting public/private partnership story from them here:
- Google Director of Charitable Giving Jacqueline Fuller (Google Global Impact Awards);
- SVP Chris Davey from Sapient Nitro (Recommended from friend who works there. Marilyn sent email on March 25 inviting Chris to MIT lunch someday to help start relationship. No response. Anyone have contacts at other digital marketing firms?)
Measuring Results from Anniversary Activities:
• Social media mentions
• New memberships
• New participation in BGs, CGs,
• Greater interest by vertical markets (TV, Auto, HC, Banking….)
• Greater internal cohesion among global staff
• More requests for W3C staff to speak at conferences
• Etc…..
Next Steps for Task Force members:
• Identify others who should/might join the task force
CC Chapman? (Marilyn knows him. He has a large blog/podcast following. Author/Speaker/Humanitarian. May not volunteer though and unlikely to offer other resources to our efforts. Leaving this as a TBD.)
• Amy reached out to Paul Downey: [1] Paul Downey for visual images (see: The Web is Agreement, One World One Web
also: would it be possible to ask: ITO World for video? (They helped with Tim's second TED talk
It would be cool to see the spread of the Web, time lapse and globally from CERN on one of their spinning globe visualizations)
• Determine process for collaboration
• Review/revise outline for proposal, esp. objectives, target markets, campaign theme, etc.
• Come to agreement on campaign theme
• Consider/ suggest appropriate scope of activities. Suggest 'modular' approach so can add or delete depending on resources secured.
• Amy suggests: video participation (something like "Where the Hell is Matt?" - global, fun, collaborative but with our theme ("I love the web" or whatever phrase) and a site to which people from all over the world can submit and participate in the celebration of the Web) • Identify resource funding opportunities
• Draft roles and responsibilities
Background information or other resources:

Below is Tim's email which mentions One Web as possible anniversary theme:
- -----Original Message-----
From: Tim Berners-Lee [2] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2013 4:23 PM To: W3C Team Cc: Judy Brewer; Jeff Jaffe; Philippe Le Hegaret Subject: One web, and what it takes and does not take
A lot of the recent discussion has been about forking, and I wanted to generalize that discussion a bit, and have a stab at the values which are driving it.
What is bad about forking? Well, when someone makes a spec like our but different that fragments the web.
Well, what do we mean? Here we assume
1. Someone make a copy of the spec 2. They change it in some way (modify, delete, insert) 3. They implement that spec instead
Then we have a lack of interoperability between them and others, and possibly a lack of features.
But the one web is damaged. The amount of interoperability on the net has gone down, there is damage. Working backwards:
- We want one web. (You quote a URI, I should be able to get the benefit of it whoever and wherever I am.)
- We know that to keep one web, we need interoperable programs/devices.
- We have found that the best way to get interoperable devices is to have just one spec and for everyone to implement it.
Now this failure mode 1 2 3 above is just one...lets call it A.
A) Someone makes a copy of the spec, changes it, implements that spec instead
A is in fact one of a bunch of failure modes for the larger system. The web can attacked broken in other ways:
B) Someone is designing a subsystem which could use HTML5 and they don't they use something different altogether like TeX or design something new
C) Someone builds an ebook reader which in fact has many bugs, doesn't implement it properly.
D) Someone starts circulating all kinds of documents which are in something a little like HTML5 but not, without writing any software.
E) Someone implements a extended features to the spec, but does not play nice with the WG
F) Someone claims to have a patent on the technology in the spec.
and so on. So basically there are all kinds of ways in which people and companies and organizations can play badly and potentially damage the web.
W3C's role is to stand up for the one web, and constantly promote an ethos in which these attacks are not acceptable. And we do. And we have things like the Open Stand about the sort of organization which we feel makes a good place to find consensus.
We do in fact like people thinking of new features. We do like them extending specs to long as they bring the new features to a consensus organization and get them into e relevant spec. And we think when it comes to consensus organizations we have one which is the best of breed, including good thinks like not being discriminatory in who we work with, in thinking about Internationalization and Accessibility, and appreciating people's creativity and peoples different way of working and communicating and solving problems, and so on.
So what I suggest we could do is take the energy around the forking licence and direct it at this higher level set of values.
One observation is that for all the above, copyright just is not a good tool. It does stop you doing step (1) of (A) maybe, it is really discussing the wrong thing. Copyright is about making copies of documents. We do that all the time. To try to encode "don't break the one web" into the terms and conditions for copying is, I suggest, a bad fit.
And it alienates a whole bunch of potential collaborators who just won't work if their output is constrained by copyright.
We need to decouple the values that keep one web from the issue of the licence. I'd like to see the companies who felt strongly against a forking licence to re-target their energy onto One web values messaging (maybe using the 25th anniversary?), and let the licence go open.
What do you all think? Do you think we can make the shift?

Pokémon Trainer is the term commonly used for a person who catches, occasionally names, and trains several different kinds and types of Pokémon.
Pokémon Trainers generally start their journey at the age of 10 when they get their first Pokémon but can start later, in Unova the playable character is around sixteen not ten. The starter Pokémon that Pokémon Trainers receive depends on what town they live in and which region they live in.
Most Pokémon trainers have a common goal: to be the ultimate Pokémon trainer, which is only obtainable by defeating the Elite Four and becoming the Pokémon Champion.
There are almost as many Pokémon trainers as there are Pokémon. Each one uses different Pokémon, a different fighting style, and a different attitude. There are usually different levels of Pokémon Trainers in terms of difficulty, Ace Trainers often being the strongest. Red is the strongest trainer in Pokémon Gold and Silver, Crystal, HeartGold and SoulSilver. His Pikachu is level 81 in Generation II and 88 in Generation IV, making Red the toughest trainer to beat, it is unlikely that the player could beat him unless all of their party Pokemon were at least in their mid eighties in levels.
There are usually Pokémon Trainers almost anywhere that isn't deserted. Pokémon Trainers usually reside and battle on routes in order to weaken the protagonist/player and slow them down. Pokémon Trainers are almost always found in towns, routes, buildings, and the ever so infamous Victory Road. They also inhabit Gyms.
Few, however, succeed in this aim, but Ash Ketchum, the male protagonist of the anime and movies, never gives up. He travels the Pokémon world in a mission to catch every single different Pokémon and add it to his/her Pokédex. By his side is always his trusty electric mouse Pokémon, Pikachu.
- Even though Ash (the main anime character) states that one has to be at least ten years old to have a trainer's license, Unova allows preschool age children to train Pokémon however as Unova is a fair distance away from the other known regions it could be that as Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh are close to each other they have a joint system of only allowing those who are ten or over to train Pokemon and Unova could have a different system that allows preschoolers to train Pokemon.

The 2011 documentary I Want My Name Back makes its Minnesota premiere March 14 at the Trylon Microcinema in South Minneapolis. It documents the rise and fall of the Sugarhill Gang, which is widely credited for kick-starting commercial hip hop music in 1979. "It's a controversial documentary," said director Roger Paradiso in a phone interview with the MSR last week. The story on how the group came together has been considered one of the most controversial stories in hip hop: The late singer Sylvia Robinson reportedly heard Henry Jackson rapping and asked him if he was interested in joining a group. Jackson then became Big Bank Hank, and teamed up with Wonder Mike (Michael Wright) and Master Gee (Guy O'Brien) and formed the Sugarhill Gang in 1979. Continue Reading →
