Written by Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente
Illustrated by Reilly Brown
The Incredible Hercules was the surprise of War World Hulk, rolling out of that most disappointing event was a book that was fun and solid. Eventually, it wore then and by the time we got to the very wordy Fall of Olympus I kind of stopped caring. Evidently, that was a mistake.
This book may not be as tight as that run on the Hulk's former book was, but it is a hell of a lot of fun. Seems Herc is dead (or missing in a way that might as well be dead), which has left Cho in charge of the Olympus Corporation, but more importantly guardian of Herc's mace. This means that when big old mythological beasts rear their ugly mugs, Cho gets to be the guy to bash in their skulls.
Athena even picks him as the hero of the heroic age over the original three Avengers type guys – you know those big guns that Siege reunited.
This is a clever and fun read. The little boxes get a little old after 20 pages of them, but they are a neat idea – more sparing use of them would mean that they could be an added bit of brilliance – this isn't Action Philosophers, sometimes you should let the story tell the story FVL. Really, other then that I got no complaints – the book catches you up in the story (even though it provides possibly the most useless recap page of all time – which sucks because Herc was often home to brilliant recap pages) and is engaging and fun.
The art is pretty decent too. Brown and his inker pals give it a nod to good old John Romita the juniorest which is fitting for this legacy character run wild. Even more nifty is that the art embraces some of the better tropes of Manga with comically exaggerated emotions and nifty in panel elapsed action. It adds to the kinetic fun of the book.
A fun book, not world shattering, there are certainly worse books on the stands this week.
Story 8
Art 7
Overall 7.5

I got engaged and had a lot of shots and dinner parties with some sailing thrown in for good measure. Along with those items I also am on the verge of losing a baby tooth I've had since baby times. I was chewing on some ice at a show and CRACK the thing came loose. She's still jammed in there (no health care), so until she falls out, I still have her. I figure it's fitting with the marriage and all. Time to loose your baby teeth if you're getting married.
My fiance makes some nice art art. Maybe sometime I'll show you after she finishes her new series.
I was featured in the Spanish magazine Staff. I don't wear glasses.
Sailing before the proposal.
Then went to YBCA for the opening of The Missing Peace: Artists Consider the Dalai Lama. We liked the music and the company (Tara Foley & Andrew Schoultz here), but the art was kind of hit or miss which is a surprise for a show at Yerba Buena.
Love the celling.

and then back to the boat.
down on a knee, go into why you're so special and important to me, and whamo, you're engaged!!... we're a bunch of cry babys.
The next day you go somewhere with a view and drink a bottle of champagne.
The happy couple.
The goofy bunch.
Making new friends.
and then to Underskatement (which was great this year) where we run into Bram (nice shirt!) and English James.

Welcome to the Boy Scouts of America
Scouting is adventure, family, fun, character, leadership and so much more.
In Scouting, boys and girls start with their best right now selves and grow into their very best future selves. It's fun, hands-on learning and achievement that puts kids in the middle of the action and prepares them for today – and for life.
Scout me in.
The Boy Scouts of America is one of the nation's largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations, providing programs for young people that build character.
Youth 11–17 years old
For the first time in its 100+ year history, the iconic program of the Boy Scouts of America will be open to young women. Scouts BSA is a year-round program for boys and girls in fifth grade through high school that provides fun, adventure, learning, challenge, and responsibility to help them become the best version of themselves.
Scouting is a year-round program uniquely designed to meet the needs of youth and their families. The program offers fun and challenging activities that promote character development and physical fitness. Family involvement is an essential part of the program, and parents are encouraged to play an active role in making the most of the short time they have to impact the lives of their children. Scouting is designed to be experienced outdoors. Hiking, camping, mountain biking, skateboarding, BMX, mountain climbing, kayaking, whitewater rafting—these are just some of a Scout's outdoor experiences.
Scout Oath: On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.
Scout Law: A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
Scout Mission: The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.
Outdoor Programs
Outdoor adventure is the promise made to youth when they join Scouting. Young people yearn for outdoor programs that stir their imagination and interest. In the outdoors, Scouts have opportunities to acquire skills that make them more self-reliant. They can explore canoe and hiking trails and complete challenges they first thought were beyond their ability. Attributes of good character become part of a boy as he learns to cooperate to meet outdoor challenges that may include extreme weather, difficult trails and portages, and dealing with nature's unexpected circumstances. Scouts plan and carry out activities with thoughtful guidance from their Scoutmaster and other adult leaders.

Fremont Bridge, by Paul Bausch.
Congratulations to everyone who participated in Providence Bridge Pedal (route map) in Portland today. The Bridge Pedal covers 6, 8, or 10 of the city's bridges over the Willamette River, with ride distances up to 38 miles.
The City of Portland and Oregon DOT close some of the route to cars for the duration of the ride, and I saw that at least one of the bridges (Hawthorne Bridge) had fresh plywood placed over the metal bridge lanes just for the ride.
Organizers made a number of changes this year to address complaints after last year's ride, including encouraging fast riders to take off at 6:30 a.m. and restricting kids riding solo to the shorter rides. If you rode, how did the changes work?
About 15,000 riders reportedly participated, which would make the Bridge Pedal the 3rd biggest ride in the US, behind the Five Boro Bike Tour in New York and the 20,000-rider Bike the Drive in Chicago (others, anyone?).

The work of Luke Chueh has quickly become easily recognizable. Both minimal and complex in concept; Chueh is currently one of the most noticed artists in LA. Aside from painting he smokes cigarettes and is a real cool guy. I'm really pleased to post this brief conversation with Luke Chueh so enjoy...
PC: Tell me about your work.
LC: My work was initially inspired by the material featured in now defunct "Art Alternatives" and "Juxtapoz" magazines. I guess found inspiration in the comic books and anime I grew up with, and am taking advantage of the current market for "lo-brow" art. Conceptually, I employ a distinct balance between light and dark themes, illustrating personal issues by reinterpreting universal archetypes.
PC: Any specific reason you chose the animals you chose to include in your work?
LC: I came up with this philosophy behind my decision to use animals:
If I replaced my bears and bunnies with asian males or caucasian females, I would most likely alienate my audience. Animal characters transcend race and sex, and thus help me create a more universal message. Thanks to Hanna Barbera and Walt Disney we live in a society that is used to the personification of animals.
PC: How would you classify your work? Illustration paintings? And what is your process like using both paint and ink?
LC: I came up with a name for the genre I think my work and the work of my contemporaries falls into. I call it "Post-Brow" (as in after Lo-Brow). Though my work contains "Low-Brow" characteristics, it is lacking in the distinct and essential white trash factor, the element that truly makes "Low-Brow" low. The similarities between my work and low-brow art include my illustrative qualities, sense of humor, and sardonic / counter-culture attitude.
As for my process, it usually starts in the sketchbook. Once I come up with an idea and sketch that I like, I then enlarge and transfer that image to board or canvas. I prime my board/canvas with black gesso and use acrylic paints, working dark to light. I finish up with indian ink, scrawling out the line work.
PC: For what reason to you acredit the use of illustration and human/animals in contemporary art as a common and descriptive element in a lot of the work currently produced in the genre?
LC: I honestly don't know if I could really answer that question. I know the reasons why I do what I do, but as for other artists, I have no idea. Perhaps its simply a product of pop culture and mass media. As for illustration and contemporary art... if you ask me, there is very little traditional "contemporary art" being produced today that is worth a damn. Back in the day, abstract art really rattled the foundation of the art world, and challenged audiences, demanding them to redefine their definition of art. The idea that people still create it is mostly pointless in my eyes, since a majority of it simply isn't challenging, and is therefore irrelevant.
In our abstract world of mass production and increasingly shoddy workmanship, I think current audiences simply appreciate art that communicates to them, created by artists who actually have skills, talent, and creativity. Hell, anyone can throw a bucket of paint at a canvas, and besides... it's already been done a million times over.
PC: How do you imagine the development of Luke Chueh? What will a Luke Chueh painting look like when you paint one in 2009?
LC: I wish I knew where my work is going. I hope it will evolve with time and experience. The way I see it, as long as I allow myself to evolve (i.e., not allow myself to be dictated by my audiences demands) then everything will be dandy. [This is something I'm personally very conscience of and concerned about.]
PC: What is your favorite piece you've made thus far and why?
LC: I think my favorite painting so far has got to be "The Alchemist". In terms of concept and execution, I think I really nailed it. I also feel a strong connection to 'The Alchemist" in that, I like the alchemist, transforming my uglier personal experiences into "gold".
PC: What else is coming up for you in the future artistically?
LC: This spring, the Los Angeles based Munky King and I will be releasing our first excursion into toy manufacturing. We'll be releasing a limited edition vinyl toy inspired by my painting, "POSSESSED". Throughout the year, i'll be participating in random group art shows around America, and then in July I've got my next solo show at Copro/Nason gallery in Bergamot Station, Santa Monica. I think the title for that show will be "Lonely is an Eye-Whore". Finally in the end of the year, Gallery 1988 will be hosting the third installment of a show I've been curating entitled "THE VIVISECT PLAYSET". It's a show that features artists who regularly employ animal characters to illustrate the human condition.
PC: Describe for me the best day ever imaginable in Los Angeles?
LC: I think this might sound kind of lame, but at the moment, my best day ever would start with me waking up, checking my email (which would be spam free) and conceiving an idea for a painting that I'd be really really excited about. I'd spend most of the day working on it, and with each stroke of the brush, my enthusiasm would grow. Come evening, I'd meet up with friends and have a kick ass dinner (sushi). We'd go to some art shows and the featured artwork would be absolutely mind blowing. This would fuel my enthusiasm for the unfinished painting waiting for me at home. Meanwhile, I'd meet the girl of my dreams (our feeling's would be mutual) and after hobnobbing with the best, I'll finally make my way home and do a little more work on my painting. Eventually I'll call it a night, watch some television (Adult Swim), and hit the hay.

A roller shutter garage door in Kelvedon Hatch is a practical garage door option featuring a smooth vertical opening without the need for internal tracks.
A reason why roller garage doors in Kelvedon Hatch are so popular is because of the minimal space they require. The vertical opening means that you can maximise your driveway and garage length, storing or parking right up to the door with no obstructions in the way for operating it. With its opening mechanism it means you can even park taller vehicles like 4x4s or SUVs near to the door without preventing the door from opening and closing.
The small roll means that roller shutters can be installed in places where headroom is limited or even obstructed. This is something that is not found with other types of garage door systems. This means if you happen to have anything awkwardly placed in your garage or even doors coming into the garage which may normally pose a problem for other garage door mechanisms, then a roller shutter garage door may be the right solution.
For installation the standard Headroom required for the door 'Roll' is 300mm, although this can be larger depending on the installation position and the material chosen for the roller. For garage openings with restricted height we offer 'Compact' Roller doors that only require 205mm headroom for installation.
Roller shutter garage doors in Kelvedon Hatch can be fitted behind, in-between and in front of the opening, again something that is not possible with other garage door types.
Most of the roller garage doors we supply in Kelvedon Hatch can be made to order to your exact specifications, no matter what the size. We can also show you different option for pre-finished colours and woodgrain effects to suit your styles and needs.

Harukanaru Toki no Naka de
Yeah!! The first episode aired today! :p So I think I'll start Harukanaru Toki no Naka de ~Hachiyou Shou~ discussion. As a long-time fan of this series, I'm happy to see it animated...
The story behind this series is:
The series is based off of a video game of the same name. It is about a schoolgirl named Akane who is pulled into another world. There, she becomes the Ryuujin no Miko (priestess/shrine maiden), destined to save their world. It's basically like Fushigi Yuugi, but better. :P Fushigi Yuugi was my first anime obsession, so FY fans will love Haruka.
Another good point with this series is the great character designs, which can be seen on this page of the official site
The voice cast is also excellent:
Tomoko Kawakami (Hikaru no Go's Hikaru, Utena's Utena) as Akane
Akira Ishida (Gaara, Saiyuki's Hakkai) as Yasuaki
Kazuhiko Inoue (Kakashi) as Tomomasa
Okiayu Ryoutaro (Fruit's Basket's Shigure, Prince of Tennis' Tezuka) as Akram
Miki Shinichiro (Escaflowne's Allen) as Yorihisa
Hoshi Souichirou (GetBackers' Kazuki) as Eisen
Tomokazu Seki (Gravitation's Shuichi, Fruits Basket's Kyo) as Tenma
Ikue Ohtani (Escaflowne's Merle, Pikachu!!) as Fuji
Yuu Asakawa (Love Hina's Motoko, Azumanga Daioh's Sakaki) as Sefuru
So, yeah, that's my little plug for the series. :P Is anyone going to be subbing this series? Has anyone seen episode 1 to comment on it? On a final note, the official site has a reaaaally short trailer for the series right here.

Thanks! If it's longer than 1 minute, then it's different. The one on the official site was really really really short.
By the way, is your version subbed? Because a sub of a promo has just been put up at AnimeSuki.

I finally watched episode 1 (raw). It was a LOT better than I was expecting, since the OVA had awkward animation and a boooooooring story. But episode 1 of the TV series was exciting. :D
To my surprise, most of the episode used darker colors and smoother animation than any other shoujo I've ever seen. It has a shoujo story with shonen-style animation (reminded me of Junni Kokki/Twelve Kingdoms). It's so good!!
Here's a brief summary and screencaps by me of episode 1:

Does anyone know which--if any--groups are interested or are in the process of subbing this show? The screencaps look nice. I hope the main character isn't too annoying, though I guess with this sort of plot it's pretty much a given that she'll fall in love with everyone and need to be rescued aaaall the time.

The orange-haired guy is Tenma, Akane's friend. It's pretty good. Aoi's release is very good though! However, the video quality is very blurry and not sharp/vibrant. Why is that?
It seems like Fushigi Yuugi from the summaries, but it's really pretty different. I'm having some trouble getting used to the long, wavy, aqua-haired guy as well as the side-bun/ponytail green-haired guy. Their design are a bit...unusual. In one scene where the guy leans close to Akane. the aqua-haired guy's lips are so...ugly. Seriously. No offense though. Other than that, their eyes are lovely! Where can I find the OVA?

Ah, this show brings back such fond memories of Fushigi Yuugi. I already love all the characters and I can't wait to see where the plot is headed. I was also surprised by the animation of this show - it's alot better that I thought it would be! ^_^
wsheit: I noticed that too. There were some very nice pieces played throughout the first episode. I especially liked the music played during the beginning of ep. 1 when Akane and her friends were walking to school. I hope a soundtrack for this show will be released soon.

A 3,000-foot green stripe that appeared on Santa Monica's Ocean Park Boulevard last week marks another step in the beach city's quest to become more bike- and pedestrian-friendly.
The stripe between Neilson Way and Lincoln Boulevard marks out space for the city's many cyclists in a color that's hard to miss. But the city's first distinctively colored bike lane is only one aspect of Santa Monica's larger "Complete Green Street" project that has been in the works for years.
In addition to the green stripe, the $4-million project adds nearly 50 pedestrian lighting poles and more than 75 freshly planted trees to the eight-block stretch of Ocean Park Boulevard, said Peter James, a senior city planner. Bike detection devices in the street lights will use timing to make it easier for cyclists, pedestrians and traffic to coexist, he said.
Construction on the street began in late 2011, and the lanes opened to cyclists Thursday, James said. The overarching idea behind the project, he added, is to treat streets such as Ocean Park more like an open space where neighbors and friends can mingle.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Federal Agency Charges That Employer Never Gave Legally Blind Employee a Chance
MOBILE, Ala. - The Sneakers Corporation, doing business as Just Sneakers, Inc., violated federal law by discriminating against a legally blind sales clerk because of his disability, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today. Sneakers, Inc. is a Georgia corporation operating athletic specialty retail stores in Georgia and Alabama.
The EEOC alleged in its lawsuit that, after rehiring a former employee into a sales clerk position, Sneakers terminated him because of his blindness without discussion or consideration of any reasonable accommodation. The EEOC also alleged that Sneakers treated non-disabled employees more favorably, including not terminating them when they actually displayed performance problems.
Disability discrimination violates the Americans with Disabilities Act. The EEOC filed suit (EEOC v. The Sneakers Corporation., Case No. 1:12-cv-00827-TFM) in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama after an investigation was completed by the EEOC's Mobile Local Office and after the agency first attempted to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The suit seeks monetary damages, including back pay, compensatory and punitive damages, and injunctive relief.
"Employers clearly violate federal law by making employment decisions based on an employee's disability -- this type of action simply is unacceptable," said EEOC district director Delner Franklin-Thomas. "This agency is committed to putting an end to disability discrimination in the workplace."
EEOC Regional Attorney C. Emanuel Smith added, "In most cases, an employer can prevent problems like this by simply working out a solution, which is usually easily accomplished. When an employer is intransigent and refuses to even discuss such a rational course, the EEOC will protect the rights of employees with disabilities."
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. The EEOC's Birmingham District covers Alabama, Mississippi (except 17 northern counties) and the Florida Panhandle. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

When we think of upgrades, we often think of parts for our bicycles. But this doesn't always have to be the case. You can get a significant performance advantage by updating some of your older, worn out gear without dropping a bunch of coin.
Here's our suggestion for 5 easy upgrades that can help you go faster, be more comfortable, and be safer. And the best news is that there's plenty of options to fit any budget.
1. Helmet
Did you know that most cycling helmets should be replaced after 5 years, regardless of whether or not you've been in a crash? If you've been in a crash that involved a head impact, replace your helmet immediately, even if it looks fine. Fortunately for you, helmet technology has come a long way. Helmets now are lighter, breezier, and more aerodynamic than ever.
2. Shorts
After about 50-100 washings, most cycling shorts are about ready to call it quits. The chamois pads become compressed with repeated use and cease to provide enough support and cushioning, and the lycra will wear out and become more transparent (which might be why nobody wants to ride behind you). If it's been a while, you might be surprised by how comfortable a fresh pair of shorts feels.
3. Sunglasses
We used to think that sunglasses were simply sunglasses…until we got to try out some of the new ones available. Today's glasses have features like photochromic lenses that change tint in the sunlight, hydrophilic construction so the glasses won't slide down your face when you sweat, and lighter, tougher frames.
4. Water Bottles
Hopefully you took our advice and gave your old ones a thorough cleaning, but sometimes it's just nice to have a new set–especially if your old ones are leaky. New water bottles can be a fun way to add some color to a ride, or replace those old leaking bottles you've had forever.
5. Socks
Ok…this one isn't so much of an upgrade, we just love cycling socks. New socks are a good way to express yourself in a sea of lycra. Whether you go super serious with some all black tall socks, or let out the wild side with a bright pattern, new socks can make even pasty winter legs look good again in the spring.

Many people don't think about tow trucks also known as wreckers until their car is stranded somewhere. Very few people realize that tow services is an industry with a long history. It is widely believed that tow trucks and services originated in 1916 and pioneered by Ernest Holmes Sr. Ernest and a large group of men helped pull a friend's car from a ditch and through that exercise he came up with the idea for his initial design. Holmes received his first patent in 1919 and started selling branded wreckers mounted on the back of cars. Holmes based his operations in his hometown of Chattanooga, TN and they remained there until 1973 when Holmes son, Ernest Holmes Jr. retired.
Fittingly, there is a now an International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum in Chattanooga. The museum was not always located in Chattanooga, in fact for many years the museum was a traveling exhibit inside of a tractor trailer pulled around the country by tow trucks. Under the leadership of William Thomas Jr. the museum first located in a small building in Chattanooga before moving to its final location on Broad street in 2003. According to the museum directors the museum receives approximately ten thousand visitors a year. Besides the obvious exhibit of tow trucks and wreckers through the years there are also 275 individuals honored in the hall of fame. A little less known or appropriately appreciated at least until it is visited is the wall of the fallen memorial at the museum. Here is where those killed in the line of duty are honored. Unfortunately, an average of 50 service men and women a year are killed in the line of duty. Besides honoring those that have fallen the museum also has setup a fund to assist the families of the deceased.
The towing and service industry is currently a $15 billion industry that includes several publications. Tow Times, American Towman and On Call 24/7 are the three biggest publications and the ones read by the industry experts. Towing and wrecker service is common place now throughout most of the United States. Pretty much no matter where you are at there is access to a tow service. If you need a tow company in Fremont or New York you are covered from coast to coast.

The chair of Western Illinois University's Department of Health Sciences recently announced the bachelor of science degree in health sciences was been renamed and now is the bachelor of science degree in public health. According to Mark Kelley, health sciences department chair, in a news release, the change in the name of the degree reflects incremental changes that have occurred in the curriculum over the past 20 years.
"The bachelor of science degree in public health will retain the existing emphases in community health education and environmental and occupational safety," Kelley said. "Current students pursuing the bachelor's degree in health sciences interested in switching to the BSPH degree should talk to Stacy Dorsett, the adviser for the degree, to determine the impact of the change on their individual degree paths. Incoming or transferring students interested in the degree should contact the department through our department email address at email@example.com."
Consistent with the Associated Schools of Public Health (ASPH) and the Council on Education for Public Health, the BSPH provides students with foundational knowledge in the five core areas of public health, including behavioral sciences and health education, biostatistics, environmental health, epidemiology, and health services administration and management.
In addition to emphases in community health education and environmental and occupational safety, the department also offers courses in several additional common public health discipline areas, including international and global health, maternal and child health, emergency medical services, public health preparedness and public health policy.
For more information about the change in degree name, contact Kelley at 309-298-1076. Students interested in switching to the BSPH can contact Dorsett at 309-298-1438 or via email at email@example.com. Learn more about the WIU Department of Health Sciences at wiu.edu/health.


text: Murder is, surprisingly, not all that uncommon on timy Broward's Rock, an idyllic sea island community off the South Carolina coast. Annie Darling's popular mystery bookshop, Death on Demand, is where the locals come to discuss the juicy details of each criminal offense—under the watchful gaze of a pampered feline prima donna named Agatha. But now Annie's dear friend (and best customer) Henny Brawley stands accused of murdering a Women's Club volunteer-cum-blackmailer. So Annie rouses her husband Max into action, and together they dive into the shark pool of dotty eccentrics and imperious belles who constitute the island's smart set. Because only there can the Darlings prove hapless Henny innocent—by detemining who among the well-heeled had the dirtiest little secret...and would kill to protect it.

With snow on the ground in Ohio, college softball teams from there are happy to be playing here.
That's the attraction of the Boombah/Upper Deck Sports Smash Hit Tournament.
The tournament, hosted by the University of South Carolina Beaufort, started last week at the Richard Gray Sports Complex in Hardeeville.
"Back home they just got a snowstorm last night," said Jaime Porter, head coach of the Walsh University women's softball team from North Canton, Ohio. "There's two inches of snow on the ground."
Porter's team is on a spring break tour of the sunny South and trying to get in as many games as possible before going home.
Today the Cavaliers head to Mobile, Ala., for another tournament.
"Then we have to start our regular season as soon as we get back," Porter said.
Meanwhile, Walsh had two scheduled games rained out Sunday but won two Monday against the University of Findlay and the host Sand Sharks.
The Findlay Oilers bounced back to beat Milligan College from northeastern Tennessee later Monday, winning 1-0 in an extra-inning thriller.
"It's still snowing up there," said Head Coach Ron Ammons of Findlay, which is an hour south of Toledo. "The public schools have been closed."
The spring break trip is an opportunity to warm up for the regular season and "try different combinations," he said.
"We're more apt to try something new out there," Ammons said. "We use a lot more subs getting ready for our regular season."
The tournament was hosted by the Savannah College of Art and Design in past years. But SCAD is eliminating some sports, including softball.
That gave USCB a chance to showcase its new softball team.
"It's a good opportunity for us," said USCB Assistant Coach Laura Heberling, who is the tournament director. "It gives us a chance to put our program on the map."
Saturday's deluge interrupted two days of the tournament, but some games were salvaged if both teams were still available with an open field to play on.
"We try to give them an opportunity since they've come all this way," Heberling said. "They say any game they can get in is a good game."
The tournament includes 12 teams playing a total of 52 games through March 14.
Teams include: USCB; Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), Point, Coastal and Brewton-Parker from Georgia; Findlay, Malone and Walsh from Ohio; Milligan (Tenn.); St. Ambrose (Iowa); Avila (Mo.); and Georgetown (Ky.).
Multiple games are scheduled almost every day on both softball fields at the Gray Complex with up to six games scheduled on some days.
USCB also will play regular-season games against Columbia College and Warner University of Lake Wales, Fla.
The remaining tournament schedule includes:

One feature I would very much like in PS is an ability to zoom on the image whilst the curves dialog box is open. That way, one could get a clear idea of how localised changes affect the over all image.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=129817\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
You can do this (have been able for many versions). You can zoom/pan using the standard key commands while all dialog boxes are open. With Levels, curves etc open, just use the Command/Control and Option/Alt keys to invoke the zoom in or out cursor and click away.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=129840\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Eh! Can you be more specific. I have an image open at a specific degree of enlargement. I open a curves dialog box and my curser changes from the zoom tool to the eyedropper. I'm on a windows platform. Ctrl or alt, ctrl and alt, do nothing to change this whilst the curves box is open.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=129843\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
When I try CTRL plus SPACE and then click, the Levels dialog box disappears before the zoom happens, but with CTRL plus "+" (on numeric keypad), the zoom happens immediately and Levels stays open.Same with Curves. CTRL together with numeric + and - seems much nicer to me. To pan just use the horizontal and vertical scroll bars.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=129851\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
I'm fascinated by this discussion, but still in the Dark Ages (CS2). Is there an article I can read on parametric curves and how one determines, given image's characteristics, where to move them along the X axis?[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=129875\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
IFrom Mark's essay:QUOTECR Curves have a hue lock. They map the minimum and maximum RGB values (in linear ProPhoto RGB) through the tone curve, and the middle value is interpolated to exactly preserve hue. The PS-RGBc does not have a hue lock. But setting the PS-RGBc to Luminosity Blend Mode preserves the colour of the underlying layer. Using the Lab L*Curve for this purpose has only fair colour consistency as L* is changed holding a* andb* constant.1. Does the CR curve, then, exactly preserve hue even with the mild saturation changes?2. If so, must one continue to work in ProPhotoRGB when in PS to realize this advantage? Can Adobe RGB also preserve exact hue?3. I think I understand that (in LAB) a* and b* do not remain constant as to hue as the L* is changed; they drift slightly. But in the PS-RGB curve is the hue exactly preserved in the Luminosity Blend Mode? Would this be this considered "locking" the hue, at this point?And thanks for the great article![a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=129888\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
There is excellent resource material on Lightroom (for example Michael and Jeff's DVD download on this website, plus recent books by Martin Evening and Scott Kelby on Lightroom. Also, Ben Willmore's CS 3 Up to Speed Chapter 2. I point you to Lightroom because the Develop Module is essentially the same as what you find in Camera Raw 4.x. But frankly, the very best thing to is experiment. Make copies of a few raw files, put them in another folder, don't worry about what happens to them as you play - all you have to lose is some duplicate pixels if the worst happens (but needn't). Go to the parametric curve and before adjusting anything on the X axis under the box, make an S Curve by decreasing the Shadow slider a lot, decrease the Darks slider some but less, increase the Lights slider and decrease the Highlights slider. Now you have clearly demarcated brighter and darker zones in the image - by design. Make sure you've created a steep enough S so the contrast between these zones is very obvious. Now start moving each zone slider under the Curves box back and forth, and you will see relative to where each slider demarcates on the histogram how the tonality of the two adjacent zones changes while you adjust. The next thing to do is to go to the Point Curve tab, select the Eyedropper tool, press Control (Command on a Mac I think) and as you left-click the mouse, mouse-over what appear to be the darker and lighter parts of the image and watch on the tone curve where the distinctions between light and dark lie. Remember the placements, or do a rough diagram with a pencil and paper and mark Xs on the curve about where you see the breaks between highlight/lights, lights/darks and darks/shadows. Now go back to the Parametric curve, and adjust your sliders so that if you were to drop verticals upward from the sliders, they would intersect the Curve about where you placed thoses Xs. It's a bit awkward (but it works) why I suggested in my conclusions that this capability we have in the Point Curve to demarcate the zones from analyzing the image should also be conveyed to the Parametric Curve where it is actually useful. But you need not stick with that demarcation. It depends on what effects you wish to get. You essentially have a matrix of seven controls in that parametric dialog which gives you huge flexibility to combine any set of placements that best meets your taste and your requirements. After some experimenting, you'll get the hang of it, and it becomes somewhat second-nature.Enjoy![a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=129882\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

Judge Suggests Apple Is 'Smoking Crack' With Its Witness List In Samsung Dispute
from the benchslap dept
"I am not going to be running around trying to get 75 pages of briefing for people who are not going to be testifying," U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh told Apple's lawyer Bill Lee.She went further too, warning of possible sanctions:
"I mean come on. 75 pages! 75 pages! You want me to do an order on 75 pages, (and) unless you're smoking crack, you know these witnesses aren't going to be called when you have less than four hours," Koh said.
"If it turns out I went through 75 pages for people who are not going to be called, I am going to think of a proper tax for that," Koh warned.As with many of these big company vs. big company patent disputes, it seems that so much of the focus is just wearing each other down with paperwork. At least in this case, the judge isn't going to allow it.

Le Tour… that's all you really need to say and any cycling fan knows what you're talking about! With the history, the prestige, the endurance, and the sheer pageantry of cycling's biggest race, Le Tour is the ultimate cycling experience. Last year, in partnership with premiere bicycling tour operator, Europeds, we sent one of our own employees, David, to France to see first-hand what it's like to watch the race in person and ride some of the same epic climbs as the pros. So what did he think? He's still raving about the experience, from the riding to the food, and you can read all about it right here on the blog, of course!
This year we've partnered with Europeds once again, but this time to offer this once-in-a-lifetime cycling experience to you! We're proud to offer exclusive access to the 2011 Europeds Tour Trip, with only 16 total spots available.
And what a trip it promises to be! The 7 day/6 night trip includes five nights right on the summit of the fabled Alpe d'Huez, plus the chance to watch three action-packed Tour stages, along with the opportunity to go on some of the most breathtaking bike rides you'll ever experience.
You'll experience everything the Tour has to offer from a base camp perched at the top of the famous 21 switchbacks of the Alpe d'Huez, in the Southeast corner of France. The itinerary for the week includes watching 3 Tour stages in person, miles of fantastic Alpine riding with a small group of only 15 other riders, plus the chance to be exactly where every cyclist wants to be on July 22nd, with a front row seat on the slopes of the Alpe d'Huez! You'll be there, along with thousands of cycling-mad fans, lining the mountain as the 2011 Tour thunders up to its last mountaintop showdown! And after the stage is done, you'll be hanging out in the midst of the racers and journalists while almost all of the other fans fight their way back down the mountain, as you stroll to your hotel atop d'Huez!
If you want a little bit of the flavor of the Alpe d'Huez on Tour day, check out this video of the finale of Carlos Sastre's victory atop d'Huez in 2008 (which propelled him to the yellow jersey):
Watching the Tour in person is truly an experience that every cyclist needs to do at least once in their lifetime. From the chance to watch the pros up close and personal:
To the opportunity to challenge yourself on some of cycling's sacred ground with new friends:
To riding on some of the most beautiful roads you could ever imagine:
We can promise that it will be an experience you won't forget! So we hope you'll join us on the 2011 Europeds Tour Trip, presented by Performance Bicycle. Spots are filling up fast, so don't miss your chance to see "Where great rides begin… in France!"

It F wasn't a gun or a rare bullet mould. It was a simple magazine; precisely a Gun World magazine. I couldn't remember its exact date but figured it had to be from late 1962 or early 1963. All I could really remember about it was that its cover was red and there was a blurb on it reading "Burp Guns Of Modern Armies." I now have that particular issue. It was from December 1962. A short while back a young fellow e-mailed me with a question. It seems his girlfriend had found a stack of old gun magazines at a yard sale and bought them for him. They dated from 1958 to 1962. His question was about a writer published in many of them. I couldn't help him with that, but as a long shot asked him if one of those old gun magazines happened to have a red cover with a blurb about "burp guns." The next day he e-mailed me a photo of its cover and said, "You mean this one?" Indeed I did and sent him enough bucks to take his girlfriend out for a nice dinner. such it was a defining moment in my life. For anyone interested in World War II history, the fall of 1962 was a pretty good time. One TV network had Combat! showing on Tuesday nights while another had a program called The Gallant Men on Friday nights. (Combat! stayed for many seasons but The Gallant Men lasted only that one season.) I watched both every week. With that frame of mind, while browsing a newsstand my eye happened to catch that "Burp Guns of Modern Armies" blurb and somehow or the other I actually had the 50¢ purchase price. That magazine started a passion and thereafter I bought every gun magazine that hit the stands in our little West Virginia coal-mining town. Little did I realize then in 1962 that 10 years later I would have my first article published in a gun magazine and that by 2010 I would have authored over 1,500 articles for gun magazines. Even more, I never dreamed back in 1962 I would eventually even have my own modest collection of "burp guns." Good Read? Was that first gun magazine of mine as good as I remembered? No way! Actually it was pretty bad, especially when compared to today's magazines. That "Burp Guns Of Modern Armies" article actually had little in it about burp guns. Mostly it covered every personal weapon used by modern armies from pistols to infantry rifles. Some editor gave it a catchy title to cover for its staid contents. There was also an article touting a .358 Belted Magnum, which amounted to nothing in the firearms community. And the cover story was about Ruger's .256 Hawkeye singleshot pistol, which amounted to little more than that .358 Magnum. There was an interesting article intended for law enforcement types titled "Don't Die Trying." It was mostly an indictment of the .38 Special as a police cartridge. This was about the beginning of the move for an intermediate magnum New Passion Why was that magazine so important to me? Because it was the very first gun magazine I ever bought and as 12 WWW.GUNSMAGAZINE.COM • MAY 2010

Spring has finally shown up in Northwest Missouri. Now is the time to know that University of Missouri Extension has a wealth of resources to help with gardening and preserving your garden's harvest.
MU Extension guides provide direction on getting the garden started. A soil sample can be brought to any extension office and sent in to be tested to determine if the soil is ready for the vegetables or fruits that are planned for it. There is also a guide on how to take the sample to best represent the whole garden. The Vegetable Planting Calendar (G6201) describes what and when to plant, how to space it, and how much to plant, depending on whether the produce will be eaten fresh or preserved.
There are also guides on growing vegetables and fruits, managing common problems like what diseases and insect infestations to watch for, and maintenance like pruning fruit trees and thinning carrot seedlings. Go to the MU Extension web site http://extension.missouri.edu and search for what you are interested in, like "growing tomatoes" and see an assortment of publications that are available. Now there is even an online resource and app for identifying weeds. Simply go to http://weedid.missouri.edu, select the characteristics of the weed, and pick from the list that comes up. The descriptions include photo(s) to help confirm identification. Once the weed is clearly identified, control measures can be focused on that particular weed. This tool is also available as an app for iphone, ipad, or android devices.
Once the produce is ripening, MU Extension also has information and specialists who can help understand how and when to harvest, store, use and preserve it. Seasonal and Simple tells where to find produce (with a guide to Missouri's Farmers Markets), as well as selecting, preparing and storing fresh fruits and vegetables found in Missouri. It can be purchased in paper form (MP909), or it can be found online at http://seasonalandsimple.info. There is also a link to the free app from that site as well.
For those who wish to get hands-on experience learning how to select, can, freeze and dry their produce, I will be offering food preservation classes in Bethany and Gallatin in the coming months. Contact me to learn more about these classes or to pre-register.
Whether in paper form, online, as an app or from a specialist, MU Extension has answers to questions on gardening, growing and preserving produce.
For more information on these or on any other topic contact me, Janet Hackert, Regional Nutrition Specialist, at 660-425-6434 or firstname.lastname@example.com or your local MU Extension office.

You know, I'm going to try to remain composed here as I share with you today's latest slap in the face move against the Miami Dolphins that, unless handled correctly, has the potential to be quite embarrassing and make the organization look like a convention of clowns.
Earlier today, several media outlets, including The Worldwide Leader in media platforms reported that San Francisco 49ers president Jed York intends to contact Dolphins consultant Bill Parcells and ask for advice as that team conducts a general manager search.
Let that marinate for a second ...
So, basically, the head of a competing organization intends to call a person whom the Dolphins pay approximately $4 million per year to consult for Miami and ask him to consult for San Francisco for free, with no benefit to Miami.
What are the Dolphins? The court jesters of the NFL?
The Dolphins pay Parcells and he would gift advice to one of Miami's 32 competitors?
The nerve.
It is insulting to the Dolphins. It is galling that the 49ers think they can do this with a Miami employee any more than they can,say, Bill Belichick or A.J. Smith or the man running any other NFL outpost. And the bothersome thing is folks around the league think this is perfectly acceptable.
Remember last year when the Jets made the playoffs and Rex Ryan said he was going to contact Parcells for advice on how to handle the playoffs? The Jets, for goodness sake! The *&%?=#@$ Jets!
Thankfully, in that instance, Parcells put the kibosh on the whole deal by graciously declining to become involved. The hope here is he does the same thing this time around, regardless his relationship with York.
Otherwise, it makes the Dolphins look like a bunch of incompetent foofs who wrote themselve terrible contract terms with Parcells and now still pay him while other teams use him.
We all know Parcells is no longer involved in the day-to-day operations of the Dolphins. He doesn't really watch practice film any more. He isn't calling GM Jeff Ireland every day, advising him on what moves to make next so that this disappointing season can be salvaged next season. I get that. We all have to accept that.
But to get paid by the Dolphins and give his future Hall of Fame opinion to someone else in the NFL? That's a slap.
Let it be known that Parcells is not parsimonious with his opinion. He called University of Miami athletic director Kirby Holcutt during Miami's coach search and gave a resounding endorsement of Al Golden. Parcells loves Golden's work ethic, thinks the young coach can recruit, and comes from great stock.
But UM isn't competing with the Dolphins for players or victories. The 49ers are a different matter.
Yes, Parcells has a sweetheart contract. He is reportedly being paid and can continue to be paid next year even if he walks away from the Dolphins and goes to work for some other team. But guess what? He hasn't chosen to go work for another team at this particular point in time.
That pretty much makes him a Dolphins employee -- albeit as a consultant -- until such time that he decides to go elsewhere.
And so I propose this: If York insists on making that call, the Dolphins should file a tampering charge against the 49ers. I have no idea if they could make it stick. But I do know the move would send a loud and chilling message to the rest of the league that Parcells is Dolphins property and he is not to be contacted without permission.
There is, of course, one exception to what I propose: If Parcells promises to advise York to trade his first round pick for, say, the quarterback the 49ers so desperately need, then go ahead Big Tuna, give the San Franciscos your two cents.
If Parcells can convince York to take Chad Henne for a first-round pick, then the conversation is worthwhile to the Dolphins. Otherwise, this conversation should never really get beyond, "Thank you," Jed, "but no thank you. I'm under contract to the Miami Dolphins."
That's really the only two ways the Dolphins don't come out looking ridiculous in this instance.
[UPDATE: 760-AM radio reporter Ken LaVicka, who asks tougher questions than most on the Dolphins beat, asked coach Tony Sparano about the topic just now. Sparano confirmed Parcells is still an employee of the Dolphins but declined to comment further.]
[UPDATE 2: An NFL source tells me there has been to this moment no contact between York and Parcells. Another source close to Parcells -- well, sort of close -- tells me Parcells has not ruled out speaking with York but will tread carefully. According to the source, Parcells believes York wants more of a handle on GM candidate Trent Baalke, who Parcells hired in 1998 to be a scout for the New York Jets. Parcells won't let the conversation seep into advice going forward that might give the 49ers an edge of the Dolphins, the source said. Makes sense.]

A surprisingly strong Jobless Claims report and growing optimism about Spain will likely be the key drivers of today's market action, distracting market participants from earnings-related worries.
The market appears to be seeing a silver lining to the debt rating downgrade of Spain to one notch above the junk category in the hope that the move will force the Spanish government's hand in asking for a bailout. It is far from clear at this stage whether this expectation will pan out, but it is nevertheless adding to market optimism on the European front.
Europe aside, we got an unusually sharp drop in weekly Jobless Claims data this morning, which will likely add to the growing optimism on the U.S. labor market front. The jobless claims report showed the big drop in initial claims to 339K, taking this key measure of unemployment to its lowest level in almost four years. The four-week average, which tends to reduce volatility in the weekly measure, dropped by 11.6K to 364K, the lowest level in six months. The Jobless Claims report adds to the strong gains in the unemployment rate in last week's September non-farm payroll report that brought the jobless rate to less than 8% for the first time since 2009.
Offsetting these favorable reports about the domestic and European scene is the uncertain corporate earnings picture coming out of the third quarter reporting season. While the reporting season has gotten off to a weaker start relative to the previous quarter, the final tally of companies beating third quarter earnings expectations will likely be not much different from what we have been seeing in recent quarters. This is a testament to management teams' impressive track record of under-promising and over-delivering.
But more important than what proportion of companies beat third quarter expectations will be the quality of guidance of fourth quarter and beyond, as this will determine how much earnings estimates for the coming quarters need to come down. Given what we have heard from Alcoa (AA - Free Report) , FedEx (FDX - Free Report) and Nike (NKE - Free Report) on their earnings calls thus far and pre-announcements from the likes of Intel (INTC - Free Report) and Cummins (CMI - Free Report) , the overall trend on the guidance front will likely be to the downside. We will know more in the coming days as the earnings season unfolds.

1. Re: Can't open Olympus .orf pics in Photoshop CS3SG... Sep 7, 2007 4:27 PM (in response to Papaw Fitz)Hi,
That's a supported camera and expected to work. What happens if you try to open it directly from PS? Also have you tried opening a JPG into the Bridge hosted Camera Raw dialog and then clicking the 'Open Image' button?
Are there any non-standard characters in the file name?
2. Re: Can't open Olympus .orf pics in Photoshop CS3Ramón G Castañeda Sep 7, 2007 5:11 PM (in response to Papaw Fitz)>the 'Open Object' button
You mean "Open Image" in Camera Raw?
3. Re: Can't open Olympus .orf pics in Photoshop CS3(ReneCarte) Feb 17, 2008 8:26 AM (in response to Papaw Fitz)Their are still a trouble:
I am own the brand new Olympus E-3 and i need for my works the RAWs, but it create the ORF's files, and that all, no one programme i own can open it, no Adobe (the latest version) as well non the COREL DRAW 13 Pro. (The CRraw is just PREFERABLE !)
all the folks here advice and propose all possible, but not the answer, how to convert the damn ORF to RAW, or TiFF, or what ever, but please don't write here, how good are the JPGs and what exist the nice quality of it. WE all are not babies and know, JPG just a good thing, but we even need the RAWs and TiFFs !
By the way: Raw Shooter Essentials 2006 sacks !!! not recognize even that ORFs exists !!!
So do here anyone , who know the magic word ?
(by the way: sorry guys for my French' English )....
Take it easy, or Easy take you !
4. Re: Can't open Olympus .orf pics in Photoshop CS3Omke Oudeman Feb 17, 2008 3:10 PM (in response to Papaw Fitz)The ACR plug in version 4.3.1 has the E-3 listed as supported. Make sure you have this installed in PSCS3.
If you go back to the forumlist layout (go one page back in history) you will find the section useful links on top of this page.
Click on link nr 4: Adobe Camera Raw updates and download the latest version of ACR. Follow the install instructions exactly and you should be OK.
This works only with PSCS3 if you have CS2 still installed you can upgrade to CS3 or use the DNG converter from Adobe to convert the files to DNG. This files will then open in CS2.
5. Re: Can't open Olympus .orf pics in Photoshop CS3(Mitch_Lorens) May 12, 2008 5:41 AM (in response to Papaw Fitz)This regards the Mac platform. I am unable to open .ORF files in ACR, Bridge and PS3. I'm completely updated in ACR to 4.4.1. I've tried the DNG converter and it gives me parsing errors. I do see that the Olympus E series cameras are supported. I didn't see the E420 specifically listed but can't imagine a difference in .ORF files. Is there an Adobe solution to this?
6. Re: Can't open Olympus .orf pics in Photoshop CS3Ramón G Castañeda May 12, 2008 6:26 AM (in response to Papaw Fitz)If your specific camera model is not on the list of supported cameras, you're just going to have to wait for a future release. Each model generates different raw files.
ACR and the DNG Converter are updated in tandem from three to four times per year. Newer cameras are usually supported within one to three ACR releases after they actually hit the shelves in camera shops
7. Re: Can't open Olympus .orf pics in Photoshop CS3Khechog Feb 13, 2012 3:46 PM (in response to Papaw Fitz)
Just looking into this problem myself. PS3 is only compatible with Camera Raw up to version 4.6
and the xz-1 requires 6.4
So you can only open it by using the Adobe DNF convertor
which I'm about to try... Employee should have known this. Adobe products shuld be more future proof than this. It's insidious. Like InDesign not opening files from future versions. Adobe loves it's customers (money)

Lots of older applications from different vendors are not able to open files from formats used in later versions, mostly they can do the other way round.
Besides the fact that this is a user to user forum and your complaints won't be heard by Adobe you can't blame Adobe for the habit of camera vendors to use a different Raw version for each new dSLR they produce. It is a very old discussion and there are tons of post about in almost each forum about Raw and dSLR.
The current free DNG converter can handle your files without problems. Be sure to download the latest converter from the Adobe side and read the instructions carefully.
Keep in mind that the upgrade strategy for Adobe seems to be changed after CS6 has launched. Before you could upgrade from maximum 3 versions back, it seems after CS6 has launched there will be a short period to upgrade from older version but after that you can only upgrade from one version back. Check yourself for the correct details.
And like you and me, we all have to earn our living, selling your work once and afterwards keep working for free for that one time customer is not the best strategy to stay alive as business...
