Yeah, you're totally not the guy who requests users rights for no reason (this on like 20 different wikis / and this), has the exactly same writing style (see above examples, it's really easy to tell when you don't write properly), and you just happened to come to the MM Wiki to try to tell me some crap about Maurice, (this again / and again). You even sign both your posts, even though it's completely redundant (this current post of yours / and this).
Please, leave me alone, I'm tired of this. I can dig up more examples, if you wish, but I'm going to let the Checkuser I filed do its job. And if you really aren't Gene, then I congratulate you, you really had me fooled. Even then, though, please stop trying to get Maurice demoted. That's not cool.Loading editor
Leave unrelated wikis out of this situation. I am not Gene Khan the only language I speak and unterstand is the English Language. Let me Guess Brandon Rhea is the Check user because he is the only check user with Global Checkuser rightsLoading editor
I'm done. This whole thing is dumb. I'm just going to let the Checkuser do its thing. Good night.Loading editor
What is the result of the checkuser request? I deserve to know that much at leastLoading editor
Well, even though I don't really owe you anything, I'll tell you anyways.
They didn't find an exact match between you and Gene. However, I did my own digging, and I looked up the IP you accidentally posted with on Berserker's wall (here). Turns out it's in Queensland. Where did Gene say he was from? Queensland. (the userheader or whatever it's called).
So yeah. You're still Gene, and I'm still not unblocking you. I can keep providing proof if anyone wants it, but I feel like I'd just be talking to a wall at this point.Loading editor
Just Because I am from Queensland does not mean I am this Mysterious Gene Khan fellow. I have already told you many times and I will always maintain this position. I am gonna say this once again. I am not this meysterious Gene Khan fellow . I have absolutely no idea whatsoever who this meysterious Gene Khan fellow is. Now leave me alone and do not interfere at whatever I do on wiki. I want you to leave me alone.

There really isn't a "feud" to begin with. The only thing I can think of is that you want to remove your messages on my wall, but like I said, I want them to remain at this point.

Hi, this is Happy Dittoz. You told me that every time I edit a page, I deleted the categories. You also asked me which source I use. I... have absolutely no idea what any of that means... so could you please explain? Thanks.Loading editor

Hey Abce 2 i am a slugterra fan and would never ever ever ever ever do anything bad against slugterra wiki or any wiki for that matter.Me and my friends have been unfairly blocked by maurice.136 adn blackjack pack. they have blocked me and my friends for suspected sockpuppeting and controlling multiple accounts. the lengths of the blcoks are extremely harsh for just rumors infinite,
This is there Evidence and my counter response
Item of Evidence number 1 : Jstell7 suspicions on Death In Paradise wiki. My counter response : They are just suspicions at best.
Item of Evidence number 2: Using the same grammar,format and puncuation for administrator and bureaucrat rights request. My counter response. That means Absoloutley nothing.
The third and final item of evidence liking the same wikis and same pictures. My counter response liking the same things means absoloutley at all because me and maurice.136 are two totally different people and be both like slugterra and star wars.
Now if you find me innocent i would like these things to happen
1. Mine and my friends accounts unblocked the list is below
Gene Khan
Raymond Reddington
Raymond Red Reddington
The Unbeatable Master
Ultimate slug slinger
2. Administrator and Bureaucrat rights on slugterra wiki.Loading editor

You will not be promoted nor unblocked for also vandlisim on the wiki you did. Also your "friends" accounts sound like they are a copy of you.Loading editor
1st of I did not vandalise the wiki and I do not control multiple accounts they are controlled by different people. And I think I do deserve Administrator and B ureaucrat rights. And mine and my friends accounts unblocked. Maurice.136 and BlackJackPack please accept my most deepest and humbilist apology I am extremely sorry for raving on when I shouldn't have and starting a demotion blog. Can you ever forgive me?Loading editor
Malcom Black requesting for adminship is the reason we blocked you becuase you costantly keep on requesting when your not ready and than you kept on demanding for us to unblock your "friends" when they really are sockpuppets. Also why do you care so much that we unblock them if they are inactive and you have edited there profiles and they don't complain about it.Loading editor
Maurice.136 and BlackJackPack please accept my most deepest and humbilist apology I am extremely sorry for raving on when I shouldn't have and starting a demotion blog. Can you ever forgive me?
all i want is mine and my friends accounts unblocked. that is all i want to happen.Loading editor
Why do you care so much that you get unblocked and your sockpuppet accounts since you don't edit and just make adminship request and conflict.Loading editor
This reply has been removed
what do you require me to do to prove me and my friends innocence.Loading editor
This may take a extremely long time to prove me and my friends innocence.
Once i prove me and my friends innocence.
I want these things to happen
1. Me and my friends accounts unblocked on Slugterra Wiki.
2. Me Recieving Bureaucrat Rights on Slugterra WikiLoading editor
Hello Malcolm Black you may only achieve such rights if
Loading editor
- Extreme amount of abuse is shown from Staff.
- You adopt the wikia (Which cant be adopted due to activity)
OK Maurice.136 forget all about the rights. All I want now is my friends and my accounts unblocked. Me and my friends are innocent of what you accuse us off . And I will do whatever you want me to do to prove me and my friends innocence.Loading editor
No and asking for rights will not get you anywhere.
Please stop asking for appeals after I constantly to no.
Now if you will excuse me I need to get back to thee SlugTerra wiki and Star Wars Rebels wiki.Loading editor
I will unfollow this now.Loading editor
OK.Loading editor
Me and my friends are innocent of what you accuse us off. And once I have proved mine and my friends innocence. All I want to happen once me and my friends innocence. Mine and my friends accounts unblocked.Loading editor
Sorry about the delay, my internet's been wonky, and I wanted to be about to handle this without being restricted by the mobile interface.
I'm contacting the admin team to look into your block, since you requested it. However, please leave this thread here. I do not want this discussion on completely unrelated Wikis, like you did on the Moshi Monsters Wiki.
Thanks, Abce2.Loading editor
one small alteration my account has been renamed from Malcolm Black to Gene Khan.Loading editor
Please keep me infromed at every stage of the situation,
my account has been renamed from Malcolm Black To Gene Khan.
if i am am succesful will the requested accounts be unbloccked and i recieve administartor and bureaucrat Rights on Slugterra Wiki.
Kind Regards
Gene KhanLoading editor
...the reason tou were blocked is you kept asking for rights now you're asking for user rights as well as pleading for an unblock? Doesn't seem likely. You need to stop asking for rights; they mean nothing if you fon't plan on being an active editor.Loading editor
Your not getting unblocked and most definitely not receiving rights.Loading editor
Abce2 is not unblocking you or giving you rights Gene.Loading editor
Loading editor
Aight, I just wanna ask - since the last time any mods or anything were active on the Monsuno Wiki was 2013, I would like to ask if I could be added as a mod/admin of the Monsuno Wikia? I've been updating it quite a bit lately but can't make v big changes or updates to do with newer stuff revealed, and I would also kind of like try to and make it a bit more active again? As active as it can be with the amount of people in the fandom, that is, heh
Eagerly awaiting a response~Loading editor
Yeah, sure. Thanks for taking over the Wiki, it really needs some love.Loading editor
Ay thanks~!Loading editor

Skill Level Intermediate
As we wrap up the chapter on delivery, let's focus on one thing we often neglect, the behind-the-scenes tasks of setting up and tearing down. In this video, we'll discuss the following: setting the stage, greeting the audience, handouts and signing-in, positioning you and your laptop, and closing down. Before you get started, find out when the audience will be arriving. You should be ready to greet the audience by that time, which means no more fiddling around with your laptop or handouts. If you're not ready yet, have someone keep them out of the room or take yourself into another room to prepare.
In other words, don't let the audience watch you set up. Now let's set the stage. Pretend you're an attendee walking into the room. Look around. What do you see? You'll want to remove any clutter and distractions and do some light housekeeping. Decide where everything will go: you, your laptop, and possibly the screen. Set up your banner, literature, business cards, and handouts. You'll want your laptop positioned facing you so that you can face the audience while keeping your slides in view.
Ideally, you'll be using a remote control for the laptop, but you'll still want to see the screen easily. With your laptop connected to the projector, you're almost set. Make sure your presentation is loaded full-screen and at the first slide. Remember that the first slide should let your audience know that they're in the right place, perhaps with the title of your presentation, your name, or company logo. It should reinforce the message that they're about to hear. Now we're ready to greet the audience. As soon as they arrive, start introducing yourself and shaking hands.
Make sure that they're comfortable and offer them a front row seat. Remember that small displays will be difficult for audience members in the back to see. If your screen is small, you'll want to encourage the audience to sit closer. How do you do this? One way is to remove chairs from the back of the room. Otherwise, politely ask your audience to come forward. Most people will if you give them a nudge. Be humble and approachable and try and get to know them a little before you begin. If you have handouts, you need to consider when the best time would be for the audience to receive them.
Many people like to take notes on their handouts, but at the same time you don't want people shuffling paper or being distracted. Consider giving your audience a handout that has the most important points they need to know with plenty of room for them to write. You might select just some of your slides and print them using the handout layout. Then after the presentation is finished, give them the full handout with all the data. Now if you're doing sign-in sheets, I recommend you save them until the end. There's always that one person who walks in late. They're already causing a disruption, so don't make it worse by having them sign in.
You can pass around the sign-in sheet during the start of your Q&A period. You're going to want to stand the entire time. Standing will give you more energy as you present. It will help make your voice carry, make it easier for others to see you, and keep your audience focused. Ideally, you'll want to be standing wherever the majority of the audience can comfortably see you, with the screen behind you, just off-center. This won't be possible in all rooms, but do what you can to make this happen. Make sure there's plenty of room for you to walk about, nothing to bump into or trip you up.
You want to be able wander about the room, not just in front of the audience, but everywhere, including through and behind them. In a word, you'll want to be free. When it's time to start, dim the lights a little bit so the screen is easy to see, straighten up your clothes, check your hair, and begin the show. When you're done speaking, don't forget to display your final slide. It should include your name, title, and contact information. You might also include a message that summarizes everything one more time, a final tagline or a photo.
Tell your audience that you'll be sticking around for any other questions that come up. Thank them for attending and wish them a great day. If people are lingering, you can start to tidy up a bit and collect your materials. Try not to disassemble the laptop, projector, or screen until everyone is gone. The key here is to make your audience feel comfortable that you're not rushing them. They're probably talking about your presentation, so why distract them? Not only that, but you can add a few years to the life of your projector's bulb if you let it power down completely before you unplug it.
There's a fan inside that stays running for a few minutes when you turn the projector off. Let it cool things down before you yank the power. If you can, get a helper to take care of most of the stuff for you. It would give you more time to interact with the audience before and after your presentation. And be sure to thank them at the end of your talk. Setting up and tearing down may seem like an awful lot to think about when making a presentation, but before long it becomes second nature.

STEWART AIRPORT — The U.S. Department of Transportation plans to give Stewart International Airport a $2 million grant to repair cracks in its runway, according to a press release from U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer.
Repairing runway cracks will help make the runway less susceptible to deterioration, especially with the winter months coming up, according to the press release.
The money is part of the Airport Improvement Program administered by the Federal Aviation Administration.

#1 REBUTTAL Owner of company
Threatened to post on Rip-off Report if she wasn't issued a refund
AUTHOR: CDupay - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Friday, March 01, 2013POSTED: Friday, March 01, 2013
When we emailed this information to this woman, Nicole Cramer, of the Kovick Insurance Agency in Blairsville, PA that we didn't feel we owed her a full refund because the course was used to sucessfully prepare her husband for the state insurance exam. She then threatened us and said that she would post a report on Ripoff.com and she would file a complaint with her credit card company if we didn't give her a full refund. Would you want to use an insurance agent that uses these types of tactics?
We are a small company with fewer than 20 employees that has been in business since 1987. We have full time employees whose job it is to keep our materials up to date. We cannot completely disregard their work and give refunds to people who have successfully used the materials to prepare for their state insurance exam. Did we err in not changing out the exam series number from 16-15 to 16-20? Yes, it was such a minor oversight that Mrs. Cramer has now elevated this issue by posting an erronous report on this site. Lastly, in one of Mrs. Cramer's email to our firm, she posted that the state insurance exam changed in July 2013. I pointed out to her that today's date was February 28, 2013 and that July was still 5 months away! What she was looking at are scheduled changes due to take place 5 months from now!
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Man accused of threatening Waukesha County DA is jailed
A former Oconomowoc man is back in Waukesha County, jailed on charges he threatened the district attorney and a court commissioner.
Adam David Kane, 38, who had been living in Seattle and now lists an Indiana address, sent several angry, obscenity-laced and specific emails to District Attorney Brad Schimel and Court Commissioner Linda Georgeson in May, according to the criminal complaint.
He was charged in early June with threatening a judge with bodily harm, a felony, and two misdemeanor counts of unauthorized use of a computer communication system. He was arrested this week in Montana on a Wisconsin warrant.
Kane's displeasure seemed to stem from his arrest last year on what turned out to be false accusations by his wife that he had threatened her with a knife. She told police she was trying to force Kane into getting some mental health treatment.
He was jailed for four days before his release, according to the threatening emails cited in the criminal complaint. His wife was given a municipal citation for providing false information to authorities.
In May, she sought a restraining order against Kane after he contacted her via email in April. Georgeson granted an injunction against Kane, who was living in Seattle and did not appear at a hearing.
The threatening emails to Georgeson and Schimel started soon after. According to the complaint, Kane threatened to sexually assault Schimel and kill Georgeson if he saw them. In one email, it charges, Kane wrote, "Now, I have nothing to lose and am waiting for my opportunity to go Hannibal Lector on your ass," referring to the serial-killer character Hannibal Lecter in the movie "The Silence of the Lambs."
Kane is being held on $25,000 bail. His next court hearing is set for Sept. 1.

Are better times ahead for semiconductor companies in 2016?
Citigroup analyst Christopher Danely sees consensus estimates rising in 1Q 2016 amid low inventory and improving demand on the heels of what has been a better-than-expected earnings season for the industry with consensus estimates remaining flat. As Danely writes:
It appears demand is recovering in the communications end market (10% of global semiconductor revenue), with stabilization in the PC end market (40% of global semiconductor revenue) and mixed signals from the automotive and industrial end markets although we expect the automotive and industrial end markets to recover by 1Q16 as corrections in these end markets generally last 1-2 quarters…Given the improvement in the PC and communications end markets and with our belief that the automotive and industrial end markets will recover by 1Q16, we believe Consensus estimates could increase in 1Q16. We would expect stocks to continue to rally.
Among the big-cap chip makers, consensus 2016 EPS estimates have risen for Texas Instruments (TXN), Xilinx (XLNX) and Intel (INTC).
Danley, however, favors Microchip Technology (MCHP) and Analog Devices (ADI), citing Microchip's $755 million purchase of Micrel and ADI's exposure to the rebounding communication end market.
Though down 3% today, the PHLX Semiconductor Index (SOX) has climbed 21% since late August
Is another deal in the making in the semiconductor sector? Citing "people with knowledge of the matter," Bloomberg is reporting that Texas Instruments (TXN) is in talks to buy Maxim Integrated Products (MXIM), a rival in the analog chip market.
As Bloomberg reports:
Maxim's management, who also received interest from from Analog Devices (ADI), may not be willing to sell unless they get a very high premium, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is private. The talks are continuing and may not result in a transaction.
As one would expect, the report fueled a spike in Maxim shares, sending them as high as $42, a new 52-week high before they calmed down. At a recent $40.36, the shares were up $1.93, or roughly 5% with more than 5.7 million shares changing hands.
That gives the company a market value of almost $11.5 billion.
The semiconductor industry has seen a flurry of deal making this year as companies look to combine resources, control costs and gain size in the face of a narrowing customer base. But Texas Instruments has so far remained on the sidelines this year, having bought National Semiconductor in 2011.
Recently, Texas Instruments fell 0.4% to $57.78.

Pregnancy App
By Lars Bergelt
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
The Pregnancy App (pregnancy calculator) aims to inform you about the development of your baby over the course of your pregnancy and to accompany you during this time, which can sometimes seem much longer than it actually is.
Once you have entered just a small amount of data (for example, the date of your last period and your normal cycle length), the application calculates a whole range of details: Your (likely) due date, the progress of your pregnancy, your current week of gestation, and the number of days to the birth of your child.
The calculation can be carried out also using your due date and the day of ovulation.
In the detailed view you get every week a brief information and a picture of the development stage of your baby. Whenever you want, you can scroll backwards through the weekly information; however, you can only scroll two weeks into the future.
Below you will find detailed information about each week of pregnancy.
Additionally, you can add your own notes and images (eg ultrasound images or photos) to each day.
What's New in Version 3.0.0
• Complete new programming
• iOS 8 compatibility
• iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus compatibility
• Multiple pregnancies manageable
• Integrated Today widget
• Photos and notes can be saved for each day
• If you have the app installed Breastfeeding, you can transfer your term children.
I thank all the users for your feedback.

The structure is made up of five towers, meant to resemble a phoenix in flight when viewed from above. The doorway through the central tower was for the Ming and Qing Dynasty emperors exclusively, though the empress was allowed to pass through this central gate on her wedding day. The door directly to the west was for the royal family, while the one to the east was for imperial officials. The final two doors were only used during ceremonies at the palace.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I signed on with Themeware for their Internet Toolbox (i-Toolbox for short) in late November 2000. I was assured by them that account holders would have continuous access to technical support/customer service for the length of the lease's term. The lease was to be for 36 months at 79.00 per month; and was supposed to be a rent-to-own deal for my slot on the server.
In late December of 2000; or sometime in January 2001, we were sent very vague e-mails which suggested the there were large-scale modifications to be made to the server or the organization itself; and that we should look for another host; at least on a temporary basis. I called to get clarification of/verification of this; but was given an odd excuse by the representative. She stated that her message gave a false impression due to her not being very articulate when it comes expressing technically specific or otherwise complicated things; and due to being affected by having a lot of work or inquiries to sort through. Another message was received a couple of weeks later stating that their online wholesale store would be closing soon; and that there was no telling when or if it would be operational again.
In the few short weeks that I was actively using the site; I was continually met with technical difficulties that occurred server-side. The server was completely down for several minutes or hours on several occasions. There were whole days when the server was down in the first few weeks of my term with them. When the server was operational the program exhibited so many glitches that made making the necessary modifications to my website extremely frustrating. We were promised by statements made on their website and in promotional materials that we would receive plenty of traffic form net surfers through their site submission software. It was a sorry excuse for a program. Not only did it not have the desired effect; it had no effect at all. I did not receive one visitor to the site who was not personally invited.
In mid to late January we received a couple of vague e-mails that suggested that Themeware would be defunct as of mid-February (I believe the date quoted was February 17th). Then a couple of weeks later an e-mail came stating that the state would be moved to March 10th to allow us more time to make other arrangements. I attempted to call customer service at that point but it was impossible to get through at anytime on any day. My e-mails went unanswered. A rep called during this period but did not leave details in his message except for his name and the hotline number. I called back almost immediately after the message was left and could get through easily but could not get service from that or any other representative. A while afterward a call was placed to a new hotline number they forwarded us. It was answered by a recording. There was no longer any means of making contact with Themeware.
For at least 3 weeks after March 10th the server was completely down. I called the bank to have a stop payment put on Leasecomm's debits. Luckily I called the bank just in time. They had already taken the fee for March and were moving to take the one for April. (Had I called any later I would have been left without the privilege to make the stop payment; the bank's policies were changing to prevent it.) Now they're calling constantly to demand payment; though they know that I have not made any further use of their services nor am I in possession of any of their property.
I hope this provides enough information. Thank you for your kind assistance.

YPSILANTI TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) -- The Washtenaw County's sheriff's office says one person has been killed and two wounded in an early morning shooting at a home in Ypsilanti Township.
Sheriff's spokesman Derrick Jackson tells the Detroit Free Press and AnnArbor.com the department received a call of shots fired at the home around 2:30 a.m. Saturday.
WJBK-TV and WXYZ-TV report a 33-year-old man was killed. The two people injured were being treated at an area hospital.
Jackson says investigators were at the hospital to question the victims as they pursued a suspect. He says the sheriff's office wasn't yet sure how many people were at the home, but there were more than those who were shot.

My novel soon to be published is titled Postcards from Goa!
Here is the synopsis.
They were from two very different cultures, brought together during a time of turmoil and a fight for freedom. Separated by one man whose only aim in life was to win every battle he fought, regardless of who was hurt in the process.
Decades later, a young woman with few clues to go on tries to piece together a story that was left untold, never imagining that it would take her to the distant parts of the earth, to a place she had never even heard of - Goa, India.
What she uncovers both intrigues and frightens her. How does the full story and the people who reveal it to her force her to question her own ideals of love and relationships?
You'll find out for yourself when you experience Postcards from Goa.
What do you think? Is it a story that interests you?
Contest for Postcards from Goa
Before the novel is published, I would like to add a section of readers' questions about writing in general or about the story, as long as the answer won't give too much away.
If there are enough interesting questions, I'll put that section into the book, and one questioning reader will be randomly chosen to receive a free signed copy of Postcards from Goa once it becomes available.
The requirements are simple. Just go to my Facebook author page - like and share the post, and then leave your question in the comment section below, and we'll go from there. :)

A Journey in the Making
It will be nine years ago on Saturday (19/9/2006) that I was online listening to my favorite show - Drivetime with Raj Baddhan on Sabras Radio in the UK, when he introduced a young man named Navin Kundra and his first radio interview with him. We listened as Navin explained his love of music from a very early age, and how it had brought him to learn to play the keyboard and then progress to singing. He embraced his talents, took every opportunity that offered a platform for singing and dancing.
In time it paid off as he went on to win the BBC Asian Network's Unsung competition. From there, he was chosen to represent the entire UK on India's biggest music show on Zee TV, Sa Re Ga Ma, for their world series, filmed in Dubai (among many other achievements, such as performing on several occasions for the royal family, and singing on an episode of Strictly Come Dancing - see his wikipedia page -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navin_Kundra).
The highlight of the interview was when Navin sang his debut song, which he wrote and composed called Tukde, Tukde (Pieces). I didn't understand the lyrics but it wasn't necessary to be able to feel the raw emotions behind this heart-breaking love song. It absolutely blew me away, and I knew right there and then I had to interview him for Bollyvista, the Indian entertainment website I was writing for at the time, and located him on MySpace. That was just the beginning of the journey.
In the years since, I have met Navin twice at concerts, in Canada no less, interviewed him countless times, and have been continually blown away by the beautiful music he creates, the talent he exudes, and the dedication to his art. He always gives it everything he has and pushes himself beyond the limits, so that he can as he says, "touch the lives of his listeners"; which he has certainly done!
Most of his music can be found herehttp://www.youtube.com/user/navinonline, including his 6 #1 smash hits, but if you want to hear his unreleased music, read pages from his diary, be part of the exclusive video chats, and much, much more, you'll have to join his VIPs on his official website - http://navin-online/vip , for an unforgettable, exciting, and really fun experience.
Navin has been interviewed many times by t.v. and radio presenters around the world, including several on Sabras, but Saturday, exactly nine years to the date, Sabras Radio is celebrating 20 years on air with a big bash, and Navin is their host! Talk about coming full circle! Well done U!!!
And what a journey it has been!! With that thought - Happy 20th Anniversary to Sabras Radio and Happy 9th Anniversary to Navin!
PS Thank you Raj Baddhan and Sabras Radio 1260 AM/DAB/sabrasradio.com for being the ones to introduce us to Navin and his beautiful music! Still listening to the interview all these years later, thanks to a sweet recording! :)
Here is the original post I wrote on that day.

Intellectual perception or view, accepted by an individual or a society as a clear example, model, or pattern of how things work in the world. This term was used first by the US science theorist & historian Thomas Kuhn (1922-96) in his 1962 book 'The Structure Of Scientific Revolution' to refer to theoretical frameworks within which all scientific thinking and practices operate. See also paradigm shift.
Use paradigm in a sentence
The office environment was stifling and discouraging, as the paradigm that they operated in was one of tradition, that ignored new ideas in favor of doing things the way they had always been done.
The paradigm for declaring war on another country shifted from one of offense, in order to gain territory, to one of preventing future wars.
As technological innovation continues, there is a paradigm shift as we change the way we think and act.

Candidates clash over causes, cures of crisis

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Barack Obama and John McCain clashed repeatedly over the causes and cures for the worst economic crisis in 80 years Tuesday night in a debate in which Republican McCain called for sweeping action by the government to directly shield many homeowners from mortgage foreclosure.
Obama, McCain stretch facts in debate
By JIM KUHNHENN and CALVIN WOODWARD
Associated Press Writers
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain stretched facts, sometimes past the breaking point, as they addressed the financial crisis and misrepresented each other's position on health care during their second presidential debate.
Some examples:
McCAIN: Said one way out of the financial crisis is to "stop sending $700 billion a year to countries that don't like us."
THE FACTS: Although he didn't spell it out, he was referring as he has in the past to purchases of oil from countries hostile to the U.S. The figure is inflated and misleading. The U.S. is not spending nearly that much on oil imports and roughly one-third of what it does spend goes to friendly countries such as Canada, Mexico and Britain.
OBAMA: "I believe this is a final verdict on the failed economic policies of the last eight years, strongly promoted by President Bush and supported by Senator McCain, that essentially said that we should strip away regulations, consumer protections, let the market run wild, and prosperity would rain down on all of us. It hasn't worked out that way. And so now we've got to take some decisive action."
THE FACTS: McCain has indeed favored less regulation over the years but supported tighter rules and accountability on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac two years before the start of a financial crisis prompted in part by those giant mortgage underwriters. Obama was not a leader in that unsuccessful effort. Some of the current problems can be traced to legislation passed in 1999 that lifted many regulations over the financial industry. That deregulation was championed by then-Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas, a McCain supporter, but also by President Clinton, who signed the legislation, and by former Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, now a top Obama economic adviser.
McCAIN: Said he would provide a $5,000 refundable tax credit for families to buy health insurance "rather than mandates or fines for small businesses as Senator Obama's plan calls for."
THE FACTS: Obama's health care plan does not impose mandates or fines on small business. He would provide small businesses with a refundable tax credit of up to 50 percent on health premiums paid on behalf of their employees. Also, large employers that do not offer meaningful coverage or contribute to the cost of coverage would be required to pay a percentage of payroll toward the costs of a public insurance plan. But small businesses would be exempt from that requirement.
OBAMA: Said McCain's proposal to give people a tax credit in exchange for treating employers' health insurance contributions as taxable wages amounts to "what one hand giveth, the other hand taketh away."
THE FACTS: Obama's suggestion that McCain's health care plan is a wash for families is misleading. McCain offers families a $5,000 tax credit to help them buy health insurance. The corresponding increase in taxable wages would result in a much smaller cost than the value of the tax credit, at least at first. Over time, the value of the tax credit may diminish as premiums rise. However, the Tax Policy Center estimates that McCain's plan would increase the federal deficit by $1.3 trillion over 10 years mainly because it would lead to less tax revenue coming in, meaning it is a true tax break overall.
McCAIN: Complained that Obama's "cronies and friends" had received money from Fannie and Freddie.
THE FACT: McCain has his own ties to the mortgage giants. Rick Davis, his campaign manager, has been a focus of attention because Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae paid him or his lobbying firm more than $2 million dating back to 2000.
OBAMA: "Actually I'm cutting more than I'm spending so that it will be a net spending cut."
THE FACTS: Obama has many ambitious plans to spend more taxpayer dollars on a variety of federal programs, including clean energy technologies and job training. He's said he'll cut pork-barrel programs and the costs of the war in Iraq to pay for it as well as raise taxes on the wealthy but the specifics of his new spending plans greatly outweigh the few spending cuts he's identified.
McCAIN: Said Obama had voted for tax increases "94 times."
THE FACTS: This inflated count, heard before, includes repetitive votes as well as votes to cut taxes for the middle class while raising them on the rich. An analysis by factcheck.org found that 23 of the votes were for measures that would have produced no tax increase at all, seven were in favor of measures that would have lowered taxes for many, 11 would have increased taxes on only those making more than $1 million a year.
McCAIN: Said Obama supported a congressional earmark of "$3 million for an overhead projector at a planetarium in Chicago, Ill. My friends, do we need to spend that kind of money?"
THE FACTS: McCain's phrase suggests Obama spent $3 million on an old-fashioned piece of office equipment that projects charts and text on a wall screen. In fact, the money was for an overhaul of the theater system that projects images of stars and planets for educational shows at Chicago's Adler Planetarium. When he announced the $3 million earmark last year, Obama said the planetarium's 40-year-old projection system "has begun to fail, leaving the theater dark and groups of school students and other interested museum-goers without this very valuable and exciting learning experience."
"It's my proposal. It's not Sen. Obama's proposal, it's not President Bush's proposal," McCain said in the debate that he hoped could revive his fortunes in a presidential race trending toward his rival.
In one pointed confrontation on foreign policy, Obama bluntly challenged McCain's steadiness. "This is a guy who sang bomb, bomb, bomb Iran, who called for the annihilation of North Korea that I don't think is an example of speaking softly."
That came after McCain accused him of foolishly threatening to invade Pakistan and said, "I'm not going to telegraph my punches, which is what Sen. Obama did."
The debate was the second of three between the two major party rivals, and the only one to feature a format in which voters seated a few feet away posed questions to the candidates.
They were polite, but the strain of the campaign showed. At one point, McCain referred to Obama as "that one," rather than speaking his name.
"It's good to be with you at a town hall meeting," McCain also jabbed at his rival, who has spurned the Republican's calls for numerous such joint appearances across the fall campaign.
They debated on a stage at Belmont University four weeks before Election Day in a race that has lately favored Obama, both in national polls and in surveys in pivotal battleground states.
Not surprisingly, many of the questions dealt with an economy in trouble.
Obama said the current crisis was the "final verdict on the failed economic policies of the last eight years" that President Bush pursued and were "supported by Sen. McCain."
He contended that Bush, McCain and others had favored deregulation of the financial industry, predicting that would "let markets run wild and prosperity would rain down on all of us. It didn't happen."
McCain's pledge to have the government help individual homeowners avoid foreclosure went beyond the details of the bailout that recently cleared Congress. The legislation allows but does not require Treasury to purchase mortgages directly. Obama has said previously that idea should be studied, and his campaign contended McCain's proposal was not a new one.
McCain's campaign issued a written statement that said the $300 billion cost of his initiative would be paid out of the $700 billion approved late last week.
"I would order the secretary of the Treasury to immediately buy up the bad home loan mortgages in America and renegotiate at the new value of those homes, at the diminished value of those homes, and let people be able to make those payments and stay in their homes," he said.
"Is it expensive? Yes. But we all know, my friends, until we stabilize home values in America, we're never going to start turning around and creating jobs and fixing our economy, and we've got to give some trust and confidence back to America."
McCain also said it was important to reform the giant benefit programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
"My friends, we are not going to be able to provide the same benefit for present-day workers that present-day retirees have today," he said, although he did not elaborate.
The two men also competed to demonstrate their qualifications as reformers at a time voters are clamoring for change.
McCain accused Obama of being the Senate's second-highest recipient of donations from individuals at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two now-disgraced mortgage industry giants.
"There were some of us who stood up against it," McCain said of the lead-up to the financial crisis. "There were others who took a hike."
Obama shot back that McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis, has a stake in a Washington lobbying firm that received thousands of dollars a month from Freddie Mac until recently.
Pivoting quickly to show his concern with members of the audience listening from a few feet away, he said, "You're not interested in politicians pointing fingers. What you're interested in is trying to figure out, how is this going to impact you."
But that didn't stop the two men from criticizing one another repeatedly as the topics turned to energy, spending, taxes and health care.
Obama said McCain was going to require taxes on the health benefits workers receive from their employers at the same time his plan would wipe out the ability of states to enforce their own regulations to require tests such as mammograms.
McCain countered that under his rival's plan "Sen. Obama will fine you" if parents fail to obtain coverage for their children but had yet to say what the fine would be. "Perhaps we will find that out tonight," he said.
Obama quickly followed up, saying that McCain "voted against the expansion" of the children's health care program the government runs.
The two men prefer dramatically different approaches to easing the problem of millions of uninsured Americans. McCain favors a $5,000 tax credit that he says would allow families to find and afford health care on their own.
Obama wants to build on the current system, in which millions receive coverage through the workplace, with government funding to help uninsured families obtain coverage.
Obama also said that American International Group Inc., which was bailed out by the government, should give the Treasury $440,000 to cover the costs of a company retreat at a posh California resort less than a week after the federal intervention. "Those executives should be fired," he said, referring to the participants in the retreat.
The debate also veered into foreign policy, and the disputes were as intense as on the economy and domestic matters.
McCain said his rival "was wrong about Iraq and the surge. He was wrong about Russia when they committed aggression against Georgia. And in his short career he does not understand our national security challenges. We don't have time for on the job training."
Obama countered with a trace of sarcasm that he didn't understand some things like how the United States could face the challenge in does in Afghanistan after spending years and hundreds of billions of dollars in Iraq.
The audience was selected by Gallup, the polling organization, and was split three ways among voters leaning toward McCain, those leaning toward Obama and those undecided.
Tom Brokaw of NBC, the moderator, screened their questions and also chose others that had been submitted online.

I have an issue when opening :
with an Iphone.
As you can see if you click on any image/video the image opens very small and aligned to the left as if it load all the vertical resolution at once... I know it's a theme issue because if I change it to the default theme it works fine.
I'm not an expert coder or developer, so if anyone could give me a starting point on where to start looking at I would be more than grateful.
Thanks in advance.

History Day in Connecticut is a program for students in grades 6-12 that encourages them to explore local, state, national, and world history. But not in Norwich. After selecting a historical topic that relates to an annual theme, students conduct extensive research using libraries, archives, museums, and oral history interviews. But not in Norwich. Students analyze and interpret their findings, draw conclusions about their topics' significance in history, and create final projects that present their work. But not in Norwich. These projects can be entered into a series of competitions, from the local to the national level, where professional historians and educators evaluate them." But none from Norwich will be seen.
April 1st was the last day for an individual or group to register. There is a fee to register of course. Five dollars to enter the District Contest and Ten dollars to enter the State Contest. There are Resources for the teachers NHD Rulebooks (Free!), 2013 Theme Books (Free!), DVDs available for borrowing (sent via mail). There are resources for the students and they can see what entries were like in previous years on line too.
I was one of the judges when there was a region in Groton and the pride of the students could be felt in the room. The presentations were terrific and were great tributes to the students, their advisors and families. For more information visit http://ct.nhd.org.
Norwich talks a great deal about its history, but when there is an opportunity to promote it with our young residents we fail to include it as a part of our program. But maybe next year?

Internet Power Point
On Monday, a Gizmoda report charged that Facebook employees were biasing the "trending" bar by avoiding stories popular among conservatives, and even outright blocking conservative news outlets. Facebook responded in a statement that did not completely reject the report, "There are rigorous guidelines in place for the review team to ensure consistency and neutrality. These guidelines do not permit the suppression of political perspectives. Nor do they permit the prioritization of one viewpoint over another or on news outlet over another." In not providing an outright rejection Facebook makes clear what we likely know about this accusation anyway, that something was awry likely because of people.
