So guys do you believe that Ash will reach his ultimate goal??
I'd say, when the anime ends he will. Since the series only cares about money and maybe ratings for the series, this will never happen in my opinion. Last episode I think will end with some other kid wanting to become a Pokemon master and fighting against Ash who will be an E4 member, that'd be my wish how to end his journey any ways.
A close family member of mine died today, I put this in my sign as respect for him
Ash fan. Luffy fan. Gintoki fan-Gintama. Endou fan-Inazuma Eleven.
Multi Luffy {One Piece} and Ash {Pokemon} Shippers.
I doubt it, I see the show getting canceled years from now, halfway through a series with Ash still not winning a league by then.
~RIP gen 8 for 2018~
~Biggest DP fan...apparently ~
Never, because Ash isn't the same guy from the beginning of the Pokemon Series anymore. It's a such a vague goal anyway, LOL so the answer is unequivocally no.
Seeing as how the writers no longer seem to care about the anime, I'd say no. It's probably going to be like that until the end, unless the show gets new writers that actually care. If that becomes the case, and if some who want a change in the cast become lucky, Ash will become the champion of a certain region and a new person will take his place. But the thing that's most likely to happen is Ash losing in yet another league, and he returns to Kanto and he's probably going to do what Jimmy (the anime counterpart of Gold from Johto) has been doing from the start, which is guarding his home town.
no because he never learns from his mistakes he keeps regressing back to a rookiee and he keeps neglecting all of his older pokemon favoring only his filthy glory hound of a pikachu and the new members of his troop not to mention im pretty certain at this point in time a lot of his veteran fighters have lost some of their skill do to not honeing them unless your charizard or squirtle of course.
here is something clay said in his gym battle against ash that i liked he basically told ash that he was waaaay too naive and doesnt take his goal seriously and that Ash is just lightly throwing around his dream to the world without truly working hard. i couldnt agree more with you clay.

He never will, if he does, they can't drag the show on anymore.
>Pokémon Master
The writer even said himself that he'll never become a Pokémon Master as long as Pokémon sells. So yeah, you see one series, you've seen them all.
Good for you Yuyama. Too bad you've singlehandedly torpedoed any lingering respect I and anyone else had for you.Shokotan: "And then, in Extremespeed Genesect: The Awakening of Mewtwo, we meet another Mewtwo!"
Yuyama: "Yes, I thought it'd be better if it was a different Mewtwo."

May be he will. But only when the anime ends.....
No. At least, the writers have yet to show me that he will.
Nope. As long the games keep going, the anime will, and he won't at least until the very end of the anime.
If there was an option for maybe, i'd vote that.
The problem here is that the anime never states what exactly a pokemon master is and what the title entails..
1. Is it someone who captures all available pokemon?
2. Somone who manages to beat the elite four and the champion of a league?
3. Someone who builds a friendship with the many pokemon he'she captures?
Lost my Platinum, so that's not good. On the other hand, I have heartgold and my FC is:
5070 6163 8015
If after DP you asked me this question, I'd say "Yes, within a couple of regions he'll win a League and challenge the E4." After BW and the horrendous 'reset,' I can't see an end anywhere in sight for Ash. Maybe as the games start to lose popularity, the writers will amp up Ash and rapidly progress him. OR...they could fast-forward to show Ash several years older, and then continue his journey from there where he is actually very close to being a Master. I think they'll definitely provide some satisfactory ending where Ash reaches his goals.

It all depends on how he's treated in the Generation 6 region. If he's like his BW self, then no. If he's more like his AG/DP self, then yes.
Team Rocket will pay for their crimes.
My fanfiction.net profile
Yes because IMO the whole anime would be pointless if his journey didn't end in the ultimate glory as Ash would just be a run of the mill trainer which is boring
Yes, I do believe Ash will finally reach his goal. I mean the anime has to end some time in the future (sadly). It is inevitable. Whether it is 10 years from now, or even 20 (wow, that would be a lot of episodes), it has to end sooner or later...
No way!! He will be "Master" after seeing almost all pokemon around the pokemon world. But not the "Master" that win all the competition! That is what the writer trying to do now! IMO.
He won't, unless the anime ends — what won't happen any time remotely soon.
I doubt he'll ever be a Pokemon Master unless they stop making games

To answer that question my friend take a look at the NO line! xD
No one really knows what will happen to the boy. That's why I'm still watching and waiting. Maybe they might do a time skip and the and show him being a master by some random flashback to troll us.
I believe the series will end with Ash in the Champions league and in his final fight he will go against a shadowy person who will end up being his father. So then as he sends out a pokeball to start the battle the series ends.

|[en] This study describes the structural characterization of a totally new family of peptides from the venom of the snake green mamba (Dendroaspis angusticeps). Interestingly, these peptides differ in several points from other already known mamba toxins. First of all, they exhibit very small molecular masses, ranging from 1.3 to 2.4 kDa. The molecular mass of classical mamba toxins is in the range of 7 to 25 kDa. Secondly, the new peptides do not contain disulfide bonds, a post-translational modification commonly encountered in animal toxins. The third difference is the very high proportion of proline residues in the sequence accounting for about one third of the sequence. Finally, these new peptides reveal a carbohydrate moiety, indicating a glycosylation in the sequence. The last two features have made the structural characterization of the new peptides by mass spectrometry a real analytical challenge. Peptides were characterized by a combined use of MALDI- TOF/TOF and nanoESI-IT-ETD experiments to determine not only the peptide sequence but also the composition and the position of the carbohydrate moiety. Anyway, such small glycosylated and proline-rich toxins are totally different from any other known snake peptide and form, as a consequence, a new family of peptides.

If you think mobile content and commerce are just buzzwords at the moment, or concepts you should look at for the future, think again. Nearly 90% of mobile users already engage in mobile content and commerce.
That's up from 82% last year. That growth isn't about to start slowing down either, especially as people in emerging markets get access to increasingly affordable, sophisticated mobile technology.
According to the latest annual survey conducted by MEF — a global community for mobile content and commerce — around 88% of mobile users now use their devices for research, to purchase products or for banking.
The biggest rises in mobile content and commerce are in growth markets, including Qatar (73% in 2011 to 86% in 2012), India (85 to 90%) and South Africa (89 to 95%). In contrast mature markets such as the UK have remained static at 91% for 2011 and 2012.
That's hardly surprising when you consider other estimates which suggest that Africa will spend US$18.5-billion on data by 2016, and that mobile money on the continent is still growing.
While more people in both emerging and mature markets are buying things using their mobile devices, they still tend to be digital purchases. That is however changing. In 2012, 54% bought digital products, as was the case in 2011. But 31% purchased physical items in 2012 up from 24% in 2011.
Even if we aren't actually buying things on our mobile devices, they're still changing the way we shop. According to MEF 80% of people now use their phone to research, up from 58% in 2011.
When we do make mobile purchases, whether physical or digital, we're increasingly using our credit cards instead of network billing. Around 27% of those surveyed used a card for m-commerce, against just 14% making payments via the phone bill (not including purchasing airtime).
A side effect of this rush into the mobile space is that more niche players have had an opportunity to make a name for themselves, giving the space more of a high street and less of a mega mall kind of feel. Big brands are starting to move into the space though as they begin to recognise its importance.
Given the increasing number of banking apps out there, it's hardly surprising that more and more people are also banking using their mobile devices. Around 64% of people now use their devices to conduct mobile banking (up from 57% in 2011).
According to Andrew Bud, Global Chair MEF, a large part of the reason that people are using their mobile devices for content and commerce is convenience:
MEF's 2012 report shows how far mobile has come as a channel for both consumer engagement and entertainment. Across the world, mobile content and commerce is increasingly the most convenient way to discover, to choose and to buy. The data has profound implications for brands, retailers and financial institutions, as well as the content and entertainment industry. We cannot be complacent: the report also reveals that trust is still a significant barrier for consumers and the industry must collaboratively address that to sustain growth.
The stats bear him out too. At 26%, convenience is the number one reason people in the survey gave for engaging in mobile commerce. Trust is however also important with 13% citing 'from a brand I know and trust' as a key reason for purchasing via mobile. Thirty-five per cent of respondents meanwhile admit that concerns around trust are acting as a barrier to purchasing more from a phone.
The study was conducted with 9 500 respondents globally via On-Device Research.

Pokemon GO
Pokemon GO Android GameGet outside and catch every Pokemon!
Pokemon GO is the first great game within the Pokemon franchise to finally land on Android. And it's here by the hands of Niantic —the developers of Ingress— with a title that's managed to combine all the original magic of these Nintendo classics, with the best ideas from its initial version. The end result: an adventure where you'll need to get outside and move around if what you really want is to become a true Pokemon trainer.
Any user who's ever played Ingress before will instantly already know what you'll need to do and will immediately understand what the real idea is behind Pokemon GO. Those of you who haven't been on Ingress won't have too many issues either. Basically the game converts your city into a colossal video game scene where you'll get to interact. Thanks to GPS on your Android, your avatar within the game will move along with you wherever you go, that way you'll need to get outside in order to capture Pokemon.
Are you close to a beach or river? It's a good idea to check out those areas specifically in order to find a water Pokemon. Do you need a plant Pokemon for your collection? Maybe it's time to have a picnic. Similarly, whenever you visit PokeStops, which are usually located at interesting places like museums, art galleries, and historical sites you'll be able to gain new items. It's here at these PokeStops where you'll also be able to buy pokeballs and restock before facing off against a rival trainer.
Pokemon GO is an excellent RPG for exploring on Android. It's great in every sense of the word. The game is well optimized, has an elegant interface and fantastic graphics. But, most importantly, is that it has a ton of Pokemon just waiting to be caught.

Pokemon Uranium: An awesome unofficial release for PC
The world of fangames has brought us a lot of joy, with its gamer-developed titles based on classic sagas. While a few days ago it was a remake of Metroid II in the limelight, today we're gung-ho about Pokémon Uranium, a game developed over nine years by a group of fans. Based on the look and game system of fourth-gen games for Nintendo DS, it offers a completely new world to explore. The final version of the game has just come out on Windows and can be downloaded for free.
Pokemon GO 0.33 Update: change your nickname and much more..
The newest update 0.33 for Pokemon GO, added a few significant changes like the possibility to change your nickname (albeit, you can only make a single modification) among other tweaks. Regarding the controversial changes that affected many users' ability to use Pokemon detection radars, it seems like that edit is still in the works. For now, you get some grass on your screen as an added backdrop behind any nearby Pokemon, which for now it's simply an aesthetic feature. Here's our full list of changes included in this new version.
Pokemon GO's newest features in version 0.31.0
We're back with your fix. The newest update for Pokemon GO is the first change that's actually brought about any major edits, and we're not referring to your run-of-the-mill bugfixes that go unnoticed by most users. There were some massive changes aimed at improving the game's, until now, shoddy performance. This time around, the updates that were put into place make substantial improvements to playability, and that is clearly reflected in how the app ultimately runs overall. Niantic has taken to tightening up security in an attempt to keep users from getting any extra help from external apps. As a result, many of them have been disabled–think Pokevision. Here's an overview of the biggest changes being made:

Journal blinder's Journal: Personality Disorder 37
i've been out of therapy for a good long time now (about five months), all because i got laid off, and had to move (no medical coverage).
well, now that i've been working and have full benefits again, i've realized i need to start therapy again. i've known this all a long. i never, not once, thought that i was "cured" and could just not work on stuff without professional help. but, lately, i've realized, on my own, that i do indeed need to go back.
so, i got an email from one of our hr folks telling me where the online directory listing lives (to find a provider) and i started going through it this morning. the system is setup completely different than what i had in baltimore so i was just mostly left scratching my head at the over 300 listings.
i had to select "symptoms" and well, they weren't well defined. so, i had to do a bit of googling to figure it out. well, i find this page, which also happens to be published by my insurance company, that details what the symptoms mean.
turns out, my symptoms are best described as a "personality disorder."
oh good. i have often thought i never really had a definable personality.
so, i have two issues that need work. my acoa/abandoment issues (acoa is: adult child of an alcoholic) which feed most of my self-esteem problems (i tend to constantly beat myself up, for just about everything... and i have thin skin, so whenever anyone around me expresses anger, frustration or dismay... i figure its because of me). the other issue is a whole slew of grief issues i'm still holding on to.
yeah, so personality disorder. i don't like to think of myself as having a "disorder." i'm the one in our family who doesn't have problems. i'm supposed to be the one who is just laid back and goes with the flow. well, as i look around, that isn't the case. as i look around, i see that i've become, things i don't like... things i hate.
i've become lazy. i've let my avoidance problems to take over. i've forgotton how to follow through on just about everything. all the progress i made over the last year in those areas has been eroded... and i let it happen. i have no one to blame but myself.
oh sure, i have excuses. being laid off, moving, new life... etc. no... that shit just doesn't fly with me. everyone has excuses. what i need to pick up is responsiblity and leave the excuses in the gutter.
i picked out four names and phone numbers of doctors that specialize in grief and personality disorders. i'm not comfortable calling them from work because i don't have privacy. yeah, nothing like summarizing why i need an initial consultation over the phone with five or so co-workers within earshot. but then again, why the fuck should i care? they've already formed their opinions of me, doesn't matter what that may be.
i know i'm rambling. i don't feel good. i got an email from a friend who shed some light on a few things for me, and while nothing that i read is news to me, it was the context in which it was delivered that made the most impact.
right now i feel terrible. its taking everything i have to just not burst out into tears here at work. that just won't do. but fuck it. it doesn't matter. yeah i have problems. they are my ___own___ and its my job to take care of it. and i don't need pity, or any cheering up... i need professional help to get some tools to work on things.
i need to work on being a better person to myself. i need to stop the inner dialogs that are preventing me from actually hearing what is being said to me. i need to learn to understand better. i have a very slow mind. my mind works very slowly. i have to often replay a conversation over and over again in my head in order to get an understanding what i've been told... and that's where the defective filter comes into play. i need to grow thicker skin. i have to stop being so fragile. its odd, yeah, i'm fragile emotionally, but also tough... as tough as they come. i've been through a lot... and i'm still here. they haven't figured out a way to kill me yet, but i break easily. i don't want to break so easily. i want to learn to be less fragile but still care about things that are important to me.
i've seen it, people get tougher and break less easy because they stop caring. they turn completely inward and have no time or attention to anyone but themselves. i don't want that. i am sensitive, i care about people and the things they go through and i pride myself on being able to place myself in someone else's shoes... i don't want to lose that. but i also don't want to be damaged in the process.
i'm feeling really stupid right now. right now i feel like everything i've said here is completely empty. its because i've done a pretty good job at falling back on an old familiar skill... my ability to hide stuff that is going on in me. the reason i hide is, my fear of disapointment. i need to learn that i can't please everyone and everything, and by trying will only make things worse.
oh well. i'm calling this period a relapse. not a failure. my instinct is to call it a failure. but i won't. i've relapsed into old behavior patterns, but my initial round of therapy has taught me awareness... my eyes are still open which is why i can still see that things need work.

California's four living former governors have filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of current Gov. Jerry Brown's plea for relief from a court order to drop the state's prison population by nearly 10,000 more inmates.
But while trying to support Brown they have joined critics of realignment, one of Brown's proudest achievements.
Brown claims that he's done enough to reduce prison overcrowding through realignment and that any further reductions could imperil the public by releasing dangerous felons from confinement.
The former governors back Brown, saying that such releases would cause "grave and irreparable harm from increased crime." As evidence, they cite an uptick in crime during 2012, the first full year of realignment.
Their brief was written by the anti-realignment Criminal Justice Legal Foundation, using its analysis of FBI crime reports that were issued in early June covering the state's cities with over 100,000 population.
The foundation's president, Michael Rushford, said as the data were released: "Last year, violent crime went up 2.9 percent, more than twice the rate of the rest of the country."
The assertion runs counter to Brown's contention that realignment has had little or no impact on local crime. By endorsing it, the four former governors — Republicans George Deukmejian, Pete Wilson and Arnold Schwarzenegger and Democrat Gray Davis — raise the allegation into a genuine political issue, albeit one that must be considered in context:
• The numbers do not prove a cause-and-effect relationship between realignment and crime.
• The 2.9 percent increase in California's violent crime was substantially higher than the 1.2 percent national increase, but lower than the 3.3 percent recorded in all Western states.
• There is no consistent pattern among the midsize and large cities in the FBI data. Some saw higher levels of violence — Oakland and Stockton, notably — while in others it declined, including Los Angeles.
The four former governors shouldn't have endorsed such a serious assertion without hard evidence of a relationship.

Is burning the Quran mount to destroy a Human Life?
Is insulting the Prophet of Islam must be punishable by death, as it is adopted by the so called Muslim sharia laws?
The best way to discuss these questions above is really we must examine the murder of Farkhunda. Farkhunda is an Afghani Muslim activist who was murdered two weeks ago. Her murder is clear indication of the major terrible flaws in our Muslim teachings. The details of this murder and the motives of the attackers, as stated by media outlets, confirm my belief that Muslims worship their system of belief; àqeeda and they do not worship God. According to Afghani official sources, the crowd decided to brutally attack this women as a response to the shouts of one Mulla whom she was trying to educate regarding witchcraft, shouted that she burned the Quran and the shouts of "AllahuAkbar" followed by those who were close to this Mulla, then the crowed responded by brutally attacking Farkhunda, by beatings, relentless kicks, throwing her body from a bridge, driving a car over her body, then burn her body and the crowed were not satisfied they throw her charred remains into the river.
What really worth noting here is that the crowed were outraged and decided to destroy a human life as a response to the allegation of burning the Quran. And these attackers were not affiliated with extremist groups and not members of ISIS or Al-Qaeda, rather they are urbanized average young males growing up in the capital city Kabul. In summary they were not motivated by extremist views, they only acted in accordance to the teachings of our Muslim doctrine. And the Muslim opinions throughout the media and social networks, were focused only about the false allegations of burning the Quran. In fact many Muslim scholar's opinions stating that if the allegation of burning the Quran were true then she got what she deserved but they expressed their displeasure for the fact that these crowds did not confirm these allegation of burning the Quran before their brutal attack against this honorable lady, Farkhunda. So in essence Muslims seem to be in agreement that burning the Quran is punishable by death by beating, stoning, burning or any other brutal methods. Unfortunately, at no time no one raised the notion that even if these allegations were true; burning the quran, is it justifiable to end human life.
This really confirm that Muslims worships their belief system, the Quran, the prophet and other aqeeda-belief, symbols. The question I ask everyone that "who says that burning the Quran is punishable by death? and furthermore who says that insulting the prophet of Islam is punishable by death. These kinds of beliefs truly signify one important fact that is the Muslim teaching is NOT centered around the "Human being" rather it signify the fact that our Muslim doctrine is centered around the teachings of the Muslim jurists-Fuqaha. The Quran puts the Human being at the center of religion, and at the center of the Message of all of God messengers
In other words that religion, the Quran and the all of God messages conveyed to his messengers, are there to serve the Human being. Muslims seem to take it the way around, they are under the belief that the human being suppose to serve the religion. If we were to gather the entire copies of the Quran in the world and set them on fire it will not effect the message of the Quran and that the Human life worth far more than all of the Qurans in the world. The human being is more honorable than the "Kaba" , as stated by Prophet Mauhammad. And the Human being is the most sacred entity from among the entire creation of God.
The murder of Farkhunda is not an isolated incident rather it hit a cord deep within the fundamentals of our Muslim doctrine. And it should open a candid debate about the legitimacy of the adopted corporal punishment regarding burning the Quran, or insulting the Prophet of Islam and other brutal practices adpoted by the Muslim Shari'a Laws.
Muslim should stop worshiping the "aqeeda, belief system" and begin worshiping the Absolute God, not the sectarian nor the religious God.

Maxwell School to establish Paul Volcket Chair in Behavioral Economics
September 20, 2011
The Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs has announced that it has received a major gift from Robert B. Menschel to establish the Paul Volcker Chair in Behavioral Economics at the school, in recognition of Volcker's exceptional accomplishments and service to the nation.
"We are deeply grateful to Mr. Menschel for this generous endowment, made in honor of a longtime friend and supporter of the Maxwell School," says Dean James Steinberg. "Paul Volcker exemplifies the spirit of public service and engaged citizenry that Maxwell embodies, and we look forward to recruiting for the chair an outstanding individual committed to cutting-edge research and applying scholarship to contemporary economic challenges. The addition of the chair will further strengthen Maxwell's position as a leading voice in economic theory and public policy, and its occupant will inspire students to be exceptional thinkers and devoted in their service to others, following Paul Volcker's example."
Volcker's distinguished career includes eight years as chairman of the board of governors of the Federal Reserve under Presidents Carter and Reagan; four years as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; and, most recently, two years as chair of President Obama's Economic Recovery Advisory Board. In addition, he served as undersecretary of treasury for international monetary affairs and was chairman of the prominent New York investment banking firm J. Rothschild, Wolfensohn & Co. Volcker also chaired the National Commission on the Public Service, which focused on the changes needed to restore vitality and credibility to the public service.
Menschel, senior director at Goldman Sachs Group and trustee emeritus of Syracuse University, says, "The subject of crowd behavior has deeply interested me from my earliest days at Syracuse and has played a key role in my thinking ever since. I couldn't be more pleased to play a role in establishing a chair in behavioral economics at Syracuse's Maxwell School and with Paul's willingness to lend his prestige to a chair on this subject."
"The establishment of the Volcker Chair speaks volumes about Bob Menschel as a person," says SU Chancellor and President Nancy Cantor. "Bob's giving is never about Bob. It's about using our gifts—our creativity, intellect and talent, as well as our resources—to make a real difference in the world. That is SU's hallmark as well and from his profoundly generous support for the University Lectures, to the Menschel Media Center, to the William Safire Chair in Modern Letters, to this latest demonstration of his incredible breadth and depth of vision, Bob exemplifies true generosity of spirit."
The field of behavioral economics is a relatively new one. Behavioral economists use social, cognitive and emotional factors to understand the economic decisions of individuals and institutions, as well as the effects those decisions have on larger economic systems such as market prices, returns and savings. Drawing on insights from the fields of both psychology and economics, behavioral economists study economic judgment and the factors that influence how economic choices are actually made.
Counted in the total of The Campaign for Syracuse University, the Menschel gift will be bolstered through Faculty Today, a gift challenge program created to encourage donors to endow faculty chairs and professorships. Designed to accelerate the University's ability to recruit and retain world-class faculty, Faculty Today will supplement the Paul Volcker Chair for the first five years. The Faculty Today program was developed by the SU Board of Trustees, which allocated $30 million from the University's endowment in support of this initiative. To learn more about Faculty Today and view a progress report, visit facultytoday.syr.edu.
With a goal of $1 billion, The Campaign for Syracuse University is the most ambitious fundraising effort in SU's history. By supporting student access, faculty excellence, interdisciplinary programs, capital projects and other institutional priorities, the campaign is continuing to drive Scholarship in Action, the University's vision to provide students, faculty and communities with the insights needed to incite positive and lasting change in the world. Officially launched in November 2007, the five-year effort has raised more than $898 million, with less than two years left to achieve its goal by the end of 2012. More information is available at campaign.syr.edu.

Exactly. Completely agree. I do prefere role attribute over predefined classnames (this should be pretty clear from one of my recently sent message [1]). But my question was: Why, in the particular case of copyright, would you prefere a role attribute instead of a new element <copyright>? As I see it, the role attribute is useful, when the role could be applied to many different kinds of elements. For example the role "example" could be applied to example paragraphs, sections, figures, codeblocks, etc. But in the the case of copyright notice you would really only want to apply that role to small passages of text (a paragraph or a span). This looks almost similar to the <address> element. So why not a <copyright> element? BTW. Thanks for pointing out the already existing rel="copyright" - my proposed license attribute is therefore not needed.

More flooding expected as storm brews off south-west coast
04/02/2014 - 10:13:24Back to Ireland Home
Flooding in Cork yesterday. Pic: Larry Cummins
Further river flooding is expected in parts of the country as an Atlantic storm depression is expected to reach Ireland later today.
Weather warnings are in effect today, with orange wind warnings in effect for Dublin, Louth, Wexford, Wicklow, Meath, Cork, Kerry and Waterford. It will remain in effect until 9am Wednesday.
Gusts of wind up to 90 – 115km/h are expected, with Met Éireann noting that heavy rainfall is likely to cause flooding due to a high water table.

Met Éireann also added a yellow-level rainfall warning today for Dublin, Carlow, Kildare, Kilkenny, Wexford, Wicklow, Cork, Kerry, Tipperary and Waterford, with rainfall in 36 hours expected to total 25-45 mm.
In Cork, the Jack Lynch tunnel – a main thoroughfare – was due to close from 10pm this evening for scheduled maintenance, but the decision was taken to keep the tunnel open and ease traffic through the city centre.
The Cork College of Commerce has cancelled night classes due to the adverse weather conditions, and people are being asked to stay away from affected areas unless absolutely necessary.
Delighted that Gardai have confirmed that Jack Lynch Tunnell will stay open until after high tide tonight #Cork #corkfloods— Jerry Buttimer (@jerrybuttimer) February 4, 2014
"We'll certainly be expecting something of a similar nature to that which we experienced yesterday morning, and indeed it might well be slightly worse than that," said Cork City Manager Tim Lucey.
"The tide, in conjunction with the surge of water, might be a couple of centimetres higher."
High tide is expected in Cork city at 8.53pm this evening.
Meanwhile, the Cabinet have today been discussing relief measures for those affected, with an estimated package of €10m.
Local authorities in areas affected by Storm Christine are expected to give their assessment reports on flood damage to the Government today.
The Minister for Public Expenditure, Brendan Howlin, said existing road and harbour funds may be used, but assistance is also being sought from Europe.
Howlin said he fears these storms could become a regular occurrence, and therefore better flood defences need to be erected.

I had a refreshingly candid conversation with Bob Taylor the other day.
Taylor's company, Taylor Guitars, personifies new thinking and engineering in the age-old craft of guitar building. I play a Taylor, and can enthusiastically vouch for the company's approach.
What Bob Taylor and I talked about, however, had nothing to do with making music. Our topic was how to make sustainability work better for business.
What prompted the conversation was Taylor's recent acquisition of an ebony mill in Cameroon. Was this a hedge against diminishing worldwide supplies of ebony? Was it an effort to stabilize prices -- an echo of Delta Airlines' recent purchase of a fuel refinery? Turns out, the move was more about pragmatically introducing sustainability into the supply chain. And, of particular interest to me, building a new brand of responsibility.
Stop and Understand.
Black ebony is a prized material for guitar fretboards. It's also on the verge of extinction.
Alarmed by the diminishing supply of this wood, Taylor visited ebony loggers in Cameroon -- the last legal ebony harvesting site in the world.
What he saw there defied logic. The harvesters were unable to see whether an ebony tree would produce rich black wood, or an 'inferior' striated variety, unless they first cut down the tree.
When he asked them how many trees they felled before finding one that produced the desired jet black wood, they answered 10. And the ten trees that had been needlessly felled were left to rot, unsaleable to agents.
This was Taylor's first 'a-ha' moment. The striated wood made acoustically and ergonomically perfect fretboards. In fact, Taylor had been using striated ebony for his guitars since starting his company -- initially as a cost-saving measure. Now, if other leading guitar brands could be convinced to use this wood, the ebony shortage would suddenly become much less dire.
"Our VP of marketing says the difference between a good guitar and a great guitar is the story" recounts Taylor. "What I began to understand is that I was in the position as a respected guitar manufacturer to shape the market, and turn the striated ebony story into something consumers wanted."
Stop and Resist Quick Solutions.
Prior to his Cameroon trips, Taylor had contemplated feedback from consumers recommending his company support tree replanting programs in areas stripped of ebony. It was a simple solution that would, in theory, provide a sustainable supply of the prized wood. It would also make for a wonderful corporate sustainability story.
In reality, however, the idea was less than ideal.
"In places like Cameroon, it's possible to do almost anything with a bribe. And impossible to do almost anything without a bribe" Taylor says. "Planting trees in situations like this would simply fuel illegal harvesting, and do nothing to make the wood supply more sustainable."
Taylor came to understand the solution was more complex. With the company's purchase of the mill, the full extent of that complexity was revealed.
"We quickly grasped there were fundamental issues that needed to be addressed -- contradictory laws and lumber accounting systems, for example" says Taylor. "We had to start by helping fix the system, demonstrating by example that doing business honestly -- taxing us and auditing us -- was in the government's best interest."
Taylor is quick to point out that his company's approach has, of necessity, been methodical rather than splashy. "We aren't planting trees yet. We're working first to stop the illegal harvest, and get a better understanding of how many trees there actually are. Our focus is ensuring the harvest is legal, and then sustainable. It's a long-term strategy that might not make a great sound bite. But ultimately, it will help us save our own industry and the ebony species in Cameroon."
Start Innovating.
Taylor's deep understanding of the ebony supply chain and his pioneering work in making striated ebony desirable to consumers is a lesson in creating sustainable business and brands.
Raphael Bemporad and Jeffrey Hollender write that looking at and understanding whole systems is key to creating successful, sustainable innovation, instead of solutions that make Western consumers feel good but do nothing to correct underlying problems.
This deeper thinking builds resilient, futureproof brands. And moves us closer to a sustainable business model.
Well played, Bob Taylor.

Chimney Rock Park Chimney Rock Village Reviews

Higher Spires Aug 27, 2015
The primary feature of Chimney Rock State Park is its namesake granite spire - a natural wonder certainly worth experiencing. Offering 75-mile views, the pinnacle is usually accessible via a deluxe elevator. The lift was down for repairs during my visit (I would have passed anyway), but the foot journey is a non-perilous climb of about 500 steps along the park's sturdy stairways. I found looking down on Chimney Rock to be a superior viewing opportunity than the vistas it offered, and you can keep scrambling above the pinnacle to snap some great photos .
Beyond this showcase, the park's other key attraction is Hickory Nut Falls, one of the highest waterfalls east of the Mississippi (and setting for scenes from "Last of the Mohicans"). The timing of my visit was middle of dry season, August, so the falls were not impressive. I was further disappointed to learn the trail network is fairly limited, and wound up hiking every inch available.
But I do not want to paint this as a loser. Chimney Rock is a beautiful space and I was tremendously impressed with how well maintained the trails were. Better yet, I had multiple encounters with park employees, who consistently proved to be devoted, caring and informative. Stopping at The Meadows on the way to the top affords the opportunity to take the kids through Grady's Animal Discovery Den and the Great Woodlands Adventure Trail. These are both very well done and informative opportunities for youngsters.
The Sky Lounge at the base of Chimney Rock offers sandwiches and awesome views. Entrance fee is $15 per person (but I only paid $13 because the elevator was broken).

Chimney Rock Park is a great park to visit in western North Carolina. The attraction it is named for, Chimney Rock, is a rock outcropping that affords a great view of Hickory Nut Gorge and Lake Lure. You can hike several trails, including one that leads to Hickory Nut Falls. These falls are featured in the movie, "The Last of the Mochicans". They filmed the movie at the falls and various locations around the park and the surrounding area. The hike to the falls is strenuous for the first 20 minutes or so, as they have modified the trail with wooden walkways and stairs. (The stairs REALLY get to you!!) But people of all fitness levels can make it. There are places to stop and rest along the trail, lookout points and rain shelters. The falls are beautiful, and one of the tallest in the Eastern US. You can hike a loop, which the second part takes you beside the falls and to the points of interest where the movie was filmed. However, that portion of the trail is closed in the late fall and winter due to ice. The portion that takes you to the top of the falls is usually open year-round.
If you do not want to hike all the way to the falls, you can still enjoy the park. An elevator takes you through the mountain to the gift shop lodge and where you can get on Chimney Rock. There are picnic areas and things for children to do too.

Capitalizing on ADP value from last year's injuries - Part 1
One thing we can all agree on as fantasy footballers; it's damn hard to win a championship. Out of millions of leagues, there can only be one person to win. It seems like the key to a winning strategy is some combination of getting value out of draft picks, a keen eye on the waiver wire, trading and finally a little bit of luck. Even by having a perfect draft and knowing every detail about all the players and their fantasy potential may not be enough.
There are two factors that are almost impossible to predict: off-the-field issues and injuries. If either of these events happen to one of your players during the season, it can send your team right down the gutter along with your dreams of winning. For the purposes of this article, I am going to focus on injuries and how they can affect your perception of the player for your upcoming draft.
Do you remember injuries in 2013? Hundreds of players went down with injuries. In fact, 58 went down with torn ACLs alone. If you had a fantasy player on your squad go down with one of these injuries I'm sure you just cringed while reminiscing. It was a nightmare to say the least. Here's just a brief list: Eagles WR Jeremy Maclin, Chargers WR Danario Alexander, Saints WR Joseph Morgan, Dolphins TE Dustin Keller, Rams QB Sam Bradford, Colts WR Reggie Wayne, Seahawks WR Sidney Rice, Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski, Steelers RB LaRod Stephens-Howling, Jets RB Mike Goodson, Browns QB Brian Hoyer, Colts RB Vick Ballard and the list goes on.
Again, that list is only a sampling of the guys that tore their ACL! We also have to include stars Percy Harvin and Dennis Pitta who both went down with hip injuries, Doug Martin with a shoulder injury, Michael Crabtree who tore his Achilles, Jermichael Finley breaking his spine and Aaron Rodgers who broke his collarbone.
The main problem with injuries for fantasy football owners is it instantly casts a doubt if the player will ever return to his star-studded self. Should you take that risk on particular "injury-prone" players? The simple answer to this is yes and you shouldn't be afraid to draft them as they usually fall to later rounds of the draft. If you are looking for value in your upcoming draft, these players can be had for cheaper than what they once were and what they will be in 2014. They still hold all of the potential to put up big numbers.
QB Jay Cutler, MIA
2013 ADP: 11th round, QB17. The injury: Groin tear and high ankle sprain. Missed multiple games. 2014 ADP: Ninth round, QB14.
Cutler is one of the more interesting players on this list because he's the only player to be injured the previous season and see his ADP increase. I think that has more to do with the emergence of wide receiver Alshon Jeffery in a high-powered offense that also features studs Matt Forte and Brandon Marshall. With so many playmakers at his disposal, it would be hard for him not to do well this year.
There are some concerns though. Cutler has missed a least one game every season for the past four years. In 2010, it was a concussion. In 2011, a broken thumb eventually required surgery. In 2012, the injuries were bruised ribs, a concussion and a knee. Finally in 2013, as previously mentioned, he tore his groin in Week 7, came back in Week 10. He then sprained his ankle and was out another four weeks. With all that in mind, the name of the game is value. He is being drafted in the ninth round and if he stays healthy, he can be a top-eight QB this year. He's also going to be cheap enough now in redraft leagues that you can grab a late-round flier QB to compensate for a potential injury and still get great value on Cutler.
WR Reggie Wayne, ---
2013 ADP: Fifth round, WR17. 2013 injury: Week 7, torn ACL. Out for rest of season. 2014 ADP: Eighth round, WR43.
In 2012, Wayne was still a borderline WR1, a top-ten fantasy WR. In that season with a rookie Andrew Luck delivering the football, Wayne didn't miss a beat. He put up a 102-1,355-5 stat line. He also earned the nickname "Ironman" after not missing a game in 12 years which dated all the way back to his rookie season. Even in 2013 after his ADP began to fall and concerns about his age were becoming a bigger factor, Wayne was a productive WR3 before his injury. He will be Luck's favorite target and Wayne can still catch everything that hits his hands. In 2012 then-rookie Luck threw to Wayne 180 times, completing 106 of them making him by far the most targeted receiver on the team. Wayne may not be what he was two years ago; however, he can outperform his ADP.
TE Rob Gronkowski, NE
2013 ADP: Second round. First or second TE drafted. The injury: Didn't start until Week 7 due to a nagging forearm injury which required multiple surgeries and a lower back issue. Suffered a torn ACL, MCL and concussion in Week 14. 2014 ADP: Third round as a TE3 (behind Jimmy Graham and Julius Thomas)
When he plays, Gronkowski has elite TE talent. The Patriots and head coach Bill Belichick are notorious for not committing to any single player by spreading the ball around offensively. Even with the "next man up" mentality, they have made Gronk a major contributor when he's on the field. Two things are remarkable about his 2013 season: First, after returning in Week 7, it only took him five games (Week 12) to play every single snap of the game. Second, the weeks he did play (Weeks 7 to 13), he was the highest-scoring TE of those weeks. Yes, more than Graham, Jordan Reed and Tony Gonzalez. More than anybody. Carried out over the course of a full season, he would of easily been the highest-scoring TE. Needless to say, there is value in getting a guy in the third round that could easily be the highest scoring in his position? What makes this even better is that all the reports are suggesting he is finally healthy.

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - A founder group company of grounded Indian carrier Kingfisher Airlines Ltd (NSI:KFA) is seeking about $236 million in damages from engine-maker International Aero Engines for allegedly supplying "inherently defective" engines, the airline said.
United Breweries (Holdings) Ltd (NSI:UBHOLDINGS) has filed a lawsuit against International Aero Engines AG and its shareholders in a court in the southern Indian city of Bangalore, Kingfisher said in its annual report, which was made publicly available on Monday.
IAE, part-owned by United Technologies Corp's (NYS:UTX) Pratt & Whitney unit, competes with CFM International - a joint-venture of General Electric (NYS:GE) and France's Safran (PAR:SAF) - to supply engines for Airbus (PAR:EAD) A320 jetliners.
"IAE cannot comment on pending litigation," said Heather Waldron, communications manager for the U.S.-based engine firm.
The lawsuit alleges that the IAE V2500-A5 engines supplied to Kingfisher were "inherently defective, both in design and manufacture", Kingfisher said.
Kingfisher, controlled by liquor baron Vijay Mallya, has not flown since last October because of a funding crunch. Its flying licences expired at the end of last year and the company has so far had little success in a bid to revive operations.
Kingfisher, which had never reported a profit during its eight years of operations, is in talks with one potential investor in the airline as of August 14, it said in the annual report, without naming any company.
A difficult operating environment as well as the engine problems "severely affected" its operations and finances during the year to March 2013, Kingfisher said.
The carrier had grounded 14 Airbus (PAR:EAD) A320 family aircraft that used the V2500 engines during the year to March 2011 due to technical problems relating to the engines, it had said in its annual report for that year.
A Kingfisher spokesman did not comment beyond the annual report.

text: Pyotr Silayev, an activist of Russia's anti-fascist movement with refugee status in Finland, from leaving the country. He was detained on 21 August 2012 in Granada on an Interpol arrest warrant issued by Russia. Spain's Audiencia Nacional imposed a travel ban on Mr Silayev pending the review of Russia's extradition request. Earlier, officials at the Finnish Embassy in Madrid assured that an extradition to Russia was out of the question and that Mr Silayev would be released. The Finnish Embassy provided the Spanish authorities with all the necessary documents attesting to the fact that Finland had granted Mr Silayev international protection and permanent residence. However, the Spanish authorities have refused to release him or even respond to inquiries about the current status of his detention. Earlier, Mr Silayev's Spanish lawyer noted that an extradition process could take up to one and a half years, while the final decision on extradition cases rested with the Spanish government. In October 2012, a group of Mr Silayev's supporters in Finland, Free Pit Network, signed a petition demanding Mr Silayev's immediate release. The appeal, which was handed out to the Spanish Embassy in Helsinki, pointed out that under the UNHCR Refugee Convention, no member state could expel a refugee to a country where his/her life or freedom would be threatened. Esko Repo, head of the asylum department at the Finnish Immigration Service, stressed that all EU countries had pledged to uphold the extradition ban. Russian human rights defender Oksana Chelysheva said Mr Silayev's impasse in Spain was setting a dangerous precedent in terms of the security of political refugees in EU countries. Referring to recent cases of asylum seekers being abducted in Ukraine and transferred to Russia and cases where political refugees from Central Asian authocracies were abducted in Russia and secretly moved to their countries of origin, Ms Chelysheva expressed concern that such extrajudicial practices would spread to the EU if left unchecked. Free Pit Network urged Mr Silayev's supporters not to stop campaigning in his defence and to continue exerting pressure on the Spanish authorities to release him. Mr Silayev said that he had almost lost hope of getting out of Spain, and that the Audiencia Nacional just kept ignoring the claims of his lawyer. Spain seems to be holding Mr Silayev in an arbitrary manner. Mr Silayev was due to appear this week at the Helsinki Book Fair to promote his novel, Exodus, which was published in Finnish by Into Kustannus.Russian Anti-Fascist at Impasse in Spain Spanish authorities continue to prevent
