SDCC: "Batman: The Killing Joke" Cast & Crew Debuts Film at Comic-Con International
Manga | Next week's issue of the Japanese "Shonen Jump" will announce the impending conclusion of Tite Kubo's fantasy-adventure manga "Bleach." This comes as no surprise to readers, as the nearly 15-year-old series entered its final story arc in 2012. [Anime News Network]
Legal | Crime comics, including most superhero titles, are illegal in Canada, thanks to a seldom-enforced 1940s-era law that's still on the books. The law, which was enacted during one of the early waves of anti-comics hysteria, bans the publishing, sale or possession with intent to sell of any comic that depicts a crime. Elton Hobson tells the whole tale, which starts with a murder and ends with a shrug from a retailer who's confident she won't be clapped in irons for selling Spider-Man comics. [Global News]
Conventions | ReedPOP Senior Vice President Lance Fensterman looks back at New York Comic Con 2015, which drew 167,000 people over four days; the increase came from making Thursday a full day, he says. Fensterman also offers some thoughts on conventions in general, saying the market is starting to become saturated, but not in terms of fans, who will always go to a cool show: "I think the saturation is more so on the side of content, and by content, I mean exhibitors, brands, guests, studios," he says. "They don't need that many shows." Dealers will always show up, but, Fensterman says, "Fans don't want to pay a ticket price to come in to spend money. There needs to be content that is engaging, exciting and unique. And there's a limited quantity on that." [ICv2]
Manga | Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama is writing a new series, to be illustrated by Video Girl Ai artist Masakazu Katsura. The series will run in Young Jump magazine in Japan. [Anime News Network]
Libraries | Jillian and Mariko Tamaki's YA graphic novel This One Summer was the first graphic novel to be named a Caldecott Honor Book, but being a pioneer isn't easy: Because the Caldecott Medal honors illustrators, most librarians think of Caldecott honor books as being for younger readers. Answering a complaint from a librarian, Pat Scales, former chair of the American Library Association's Intellectual Freedom Committee, points out that the Caldecott Medal is awarded to books for readers up to age 14, and that This One Summer is generally regarded as an eighth grade book—so it qualifies, but it is an unusual case. [School Library Journal]
Conventions | Calgary Expo organizers asked an exhibitor to leave after learning the group had misrepresented itself and is affiliated with GamerGate. The group, Honey Badger Radio, raised money through crowdfunding to set up a booth at the convention, but registered under a different name (as explained on the crowdfunding site, they were in "stealth mode"). At the convention, the exhibitor displayed a poster with a GamerGate logo and monopolized the Q&A session at a panel on women in comics. In a statement released on Twitter, the event organizers said, "The Calgary Expo is a positive and safe event for everyone. We have reason to believe that the Exhibitor in question does not fall in line with this mandate … so we have politely requested that they not participate in our show or future shows." [The Mary Sue]
Libraries | Michael Cavna talks to Drama creator Raina Telgemeier and Charles Brownstein of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund about graphic novel challenges in libraries and why Drama made the American Library Association's 2014 list of 10 most challenged books. [The Washington Post]
Political cartoons | The East African cartoonist Gado has been let go from the Kenyan newspaper The Nation, apparently due to pressure from the government. The move came after the newspaper's owner met with President Uhuru Kenyatta, who's been pushing the publication to drop some its contributors critical of his government. Gado's cartoons about various scandals, and his depictions of the president as a prisoner with a ball and chain and as a turbaned Sikh (following an attempted land grab that involved four entrepreneurs named Singh) have clearly hit a nerve.

Every year, I participate in my city's Community Reading Day, in which adults in various professions read a book to an elementary school class. Everyone loves to read to the little kids, so I always volunteer for the older grades, and of course I bring comics.
Sometimes I get a good response and sometimes I don't, but this year was really great, because of both the book and the kids.
The book was a no-brainer: Raina Telgemeier's Sisters, which was the top selling graphic novel in bookstores last year and the top pick on the Good Comics for Kids blog's list of the best children's graphic novels of 2014.
Trumpeting the yearlong 10th-anniversary celebration of its Graphix imprint, Scholastic has announced new projects from Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm, Kazu Kibuishi, Raina Telgemeier and Mike Maihack.
The brother-sister team of Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm (Babymouse, Squish) have created a Sunny Side Up, a semi-autobiographical for readers ages 8 to 12, set for release Aug. 25, the same date as Craig Thompson's previously announced Space Dumplins.
Conventions | Vendors who paid the $60 deposit to exhibit at Cherry City Comic Con are clamoring for a refund after word circulated that the Salem, Oregon, convention won't happen this spring as planned. (There appears to have been some discussion about the con being canceled on Facebook, but the convention's Facebook page now states, "A marketing solutions company is helping us start the new year right and get us back on track to make this a successful show everyone can love." No other posts appear on the page.) This isn't the first round of controversy for the con: Last May, organizer Mike Martin called an exhibitor "batshit insane" on Facebook when she asked for a refund and expressed concern that the con would not be a "safe place for female cosplayers." Martin is also the organizer of a craft fair that was canceled; some exhibitors for that event were denied refunds because of "a locked PayPal account." [KOIN]
This February will mark five years since the release of Raina Telgemeier's Smile, the autobiographical graphic novel about her childhood from sixth grade to high school, partially documented by her orthodontia experience through those years.
Telgemeier's teeth were forefront in her mind earlier this week as she visited her dentist, taking a couple of pictures while there, which she shared on her Instagram account.
MICE, the Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo, is small but mighty. On Saturday and Sunday, the show will take over the second floor of Lesley University's University Hall, better known to locals as the Porter Exchange. Admission is free, and the roster includes a mix of local creators, aspiring artists just out of school, and some big names, including special guests James Kochalka, Emily Carroll, Raina Telgemeier, Dave Roman and Box Brown.
We talked with one of the organizers, Dan Mazur (a comics creator and publisher in his own right), about the challenges of running a small indie-comics show in general and the unique qualities of MICE in particular.
Brigid Alverson: What is the focus of MICE, and how is it different from other comics festivals?
Dan Mazur: MICE is an independent/alternative comics show, in the vein of larger shows like SPX, MoCCA Fest and APE, and others like TECAF, CAKE, MECAF. … So it differs from the mainstream comic cons for its lack of superheroes, cosplay, etc., and for the preponderance of minicomics. But for those familiar with the alternative scene, I guess we do have more of a focus (though not exclusive) on a local comics scene, and also on kid-friendly material and activities, to a degree.
Raina Telgemeier's Sisters is about a car trip in the same way that her earlier graphic memoir Smile is about having dental work: It forms an organizing principle for a story about changing relationships, a story built up of small incidents that are all linked to this single narrative thread.
That sounds complicated for a book written for 10-year-olds, but Telgemeier makes it look easy. It's as if she's swapping stories about her childhood — remember that time we got a snake, and then we lost it? And although she's writing about growing up in San Francisco in the 1980s and early 1990s, the story has a timeless feel (the only clues to the setting are teenage Raina's Walkman and the fact that no one has a cell phone).
Passings | Frank Cummings, an artist for the comic strip Blondie, has died at age 55, according to a posting on Blondie.com. No cause of death is given, but this obituary (in Italian) states he had a long battle with pancreatic cancer. Cummings started his career as a commercial artist and self-published his own satire magazine, JAB. Later on he illustrated the newsletter of diet and exercise guru Richard Simmons and did movie parodies for Cracked. He joined Blondie in 2004 as an assistant to head artist John Marshall. [The Daily Cartoonist]
Publishing | Former DC Comics President and Publisher Paul Levitz has debuted an "occasional" column on the retail news and analysis site ICv2. [ICv2.com]
Conventions | Samantha Melamed looks at the problem of harassment at comics conventions, particularly of cosplayers, and what some women are doing about it. The article includes interviews with artist Erin Filson, one of the co-founders of Geeks for CONsent, which has called upon Comic-Con International to institute a more specific, and more visible, anti-harassment policy; cosplayer Nicole Jacobs, who describes a recent incident at AwesomeCon; and psychology professor Kimberly Fairchild, who studies harassment. [The Philadelphia Inquirer]
Creators | Frequent collaborators Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie discuss their new series The Wicked + The Divine, which debuted this week from Image Comics. [USA Today]
Book Expo America is the annual trade show where publishers promote their upcoming books to retailers and librarians. BEA is all about books, but comics and graphic novels are a growing presence. Diamond had a dedicated area, as it has in previous years, several comics publishers had their own booths, and several of the big publishers featured graphic novels alongside their other titles, most notably Hachette, which gave quite a bit of space to Yen Press.
I spent Friday at the show looking at which books the publishers were drawing the most attention to. Here's a very subjective account of what I saw.
Kid stuff! Children's and YA graphic novels have been hot for a couple of years, and the news that Raina Telgemeier's Sisters is getting a 200,000 copy initial print run got a lot of buzz. Of course, the BEA crowd has been on board with her work for a while, and they lined up in droves for her book signing. The same was true of Jeff Kinney, who was signing copies of The Wimpy Kid School Planner at the Abrams booth; the crowd just kept on coming. And the staff at the BOOM! Studios table were hustling as attendees grabbed copies of their Adventure Time and Bravest Warrior collections as well as their third original Peanuts graphic novel, Peanuts: The Beagle Has Landed, which takes Snoopy to the moon.

Picked up TV from store with the free site to store shipping. Helpful employees just scan your paper from the on line purchase, u show a picture ID and they loaded it into the car. Easy and pleased with store service. Noticed the box was several inches thinner than the ones the store stocked. I believe this is because the ones I saw in the store had all the internet apps or 3D ???
This Tv has a great picture and sound from the 20 watt speakers. The remote is simple and has several nice features that you can adjust without going into the menu and looking how to adjust
the viewing area and such. We are able to switch fom our Roku and back to cable via remote without any problems. I would recomend this TV as the price is an unbeatable value and it is a simple to use and set up unit. Don't know much about the JVC "TV" history but always enjoyed great audio products for years. Maybe they are just now breaking in to the LCD TV market???? If you want a nice large TV without all the extras, at a great price-This is the one!
Only had this tv for 2 weeks, so far its easily 5 stars across the board. Set up was fast and simple...it could be a little difficult for one person to handle, but it's a large tv. The picture is nothing short of awesome, (I have Dish Network HD package),...but they're plenty of easy to understand menu options if you want to tweak the picture any. Easy to use remote and easy connectivity. Also 2 thumbs up and 5 stars to Walmart.com for ease of ordering, and fast shipping to my local store for pickup! I'll write a follow up review in 3-6 months, but right now I don't expect it to be anything but outstanding.
I am very impressed. My understanding was that Samsung and LG were the top brands for LCD/LED tv's. I think that JVC ranks right up there with them. Having owned JVC car stereos, I have always been impressed with their quality. The only negative at all that I have exerienced so far is that when watching football, the screen has to catch up to the action when plays are moving quickly. I have messed with the settings and so far have been unable to fix it. Walmart shipped it to site within a couple of days and I was watching it in less than an hour. Great value.
I am very impressed. I used the JVC TV in the Europe 10 years ago, at that time was no any flat TV, the image was great, BUT NOW WITH A NEW TECHNOLOGY, THE FLAT JVC 47" Class LCD 1080p 120Hz HDTV, JLC47BC3000:IS NOT ONLY NUMBER ONE OF, BUT I WOULD SAY IS THE BEST. I was THINKING that Samsung, Sony and LG were the top brands for LCD/LED tv's. I think that JVC ranks right up there with them its number ONE. I have always been impressed with their quality.
Just to let you guys to know, I live in Vancouver, since there's not availability in Canada, I needed to travel to Bellingham Wallmart and to order the JVC there then I got an email sayng that was ready for pickup, I pickedup my tv and was no any issue to install it at home.
Thanks and I recommend anyone to use the best ever product JVC.
VERY quick delivery. Very good sound. Picture pretty good...I had a little trouble getting the green tones accurate. Remote functions regarding channel information is limited. There is no clock for accurate time information.
I did have to get 2 TV to get a good set, but when I received the second set I was extreemely impessed. Great picture ans sound, I noticed sounds when I watched a football gae that I did not notice before. All thr sounds from the TV are overall better.
Once hooked up, couldn't believe how I felt like I could walk right into the screen as if I was there. Took several tries to get the color to my preference but now its fabulous. Easy to hook up, overall very happy.
Fast shipping. Easy setup. I've seen LCD's that cost 400 to 500 dollars more an their color was not as good. We love it!!!
JVC is the best tv 5 stars all around. easy set up. it was delivered to store in half the time
We are very happy we purchased this television it is great. When you watch golf you feel like your right on the golf course with them great picture and sound.

Rows from a MySQL SELECT query are returned in an arbitrary or unpredictable order. Since the return has more to do with internal hashing and search algorithms than it does with your data, the order of the rows is not usually useful to a programmer. To return the rows in a meaningful order, you can use the ORDER BY clause of the SELECT command to sort them.
Form the basic SELECT command to return the rows in which you are interested. At this point, the order in which the rows are returned is not of importance. This example queries a customers database to get a list of customers with negative balances. Example:
SELECT * FROM customers WHERE balance < 0.0;
Add an ORDER BY clause. ORDER BY will tell the MySQL server to sort the rows by a column. For example, if you want to see all outstanding accounts in order of their balance, you can add "ORDER BY balance" to the end of the query. Example:
SELECT * FROM customers WHERE balance < 0.0 ORDER BY balance;
Define in which direction to sort, as the order of the returned rows may not yet be meaningful. Rows can be returned in ascending or descending order.
Use ASC or DESC. Using ASC will sort the data so that you see the smallest number first. Using DESC will sort the data so that you see the largest number first. In this query, you are looking for customers with the largest negative balance first. ORDER BY will return the arrays with the greatest negative number (the smallest number) at the top. Example:
SELECT * FROM customers WHERE balance < 0.0 ORDER BY balance ASC;
Sort by multiple columns, as sometimes you'll come across large groups rows that were sorted on the same number. For example, if there are 100 customers in your database with a balance of 0, the customers will appear in arbitrary order. It's best to have at least two sorting criteria for situations like this.
Use multiple sorting criteria separated by commas. Here, customers are shown in alphabetical order by name after they are sorted by balance. Example:
SELECT * FROM customers WHERE balance < 0.0 ORDER BY balance,name ASC;
Tips & Warnings
- By itself, ORDER BY is not a command. It is a clause, or additional component of, the SELECT command.

Comments about 6SPOT LED Color-Changer Lighting System:
Anyone that's lugged those huge PAR 56 cans, stands and trusses around, knows it's an easy hour to get everything set, hung and wired.
Those days are gone forever for me. These lights mount, in my case, to the pole between my 18" bass bins and my 15" mains, there's a 1 1/2" hole with adjusting knob in the middle of the housing. It will mount to that big tripod speaker / light stand too
I no longer worry about some inebriated concert goer getting tangled up in those big tripod stands.
I use the spots on one side and I have a similar wash light for the other side.
Set up takes seconds!
Now I use all that saved time to count all the money my band makes....you believe me...right?
The COVERUP band recommends these lights for your band!

Comments about Chauvet 6SPOT LED Color-Changer Lighting System:
Great system from CHAUVET. I wish the LED's were changable and be able to add brighter LED's. Not bright enough for small stages. Also: light bar does not fit into tripod stand. Maybe it's made metric. But, still a nice lighting system.

Great fixture for the price. Great control using a Chauvet Obey 40 controller. I ordered a second 6 Spot within 24 hours of receiving the first fixture! Individual control of each light gives unlimited color combinations. Using them as front spots for live performances with several other Chauvet effect fixtures as rear stage effects.

Comments about Chauvet 6SPOT LED Color-Changer Lighting System:
I've been in nearly every aspect of the industry for the last 8 years now and this light has been a welcome addition for me. It's low profile means that it packs into smaller areas in my SUV so I'm not debating what to leave behind if I want to take that light with me. It has a pass-thru pole mount so you don't need yet another pole to add it. A pass-thru power adapter reduces the number of plugins required and cords hanging everywhere. The intensity is very impressive. My only gripe would be with the yellow spot having rough edges of the other colors around it instead of being true amber leds but for the price, that's very forgivable. This is a great overhead light for haze and fog effects for a band. Drop it in front of the band and aim it down between you and the audience and let those beams add that epic quality to your show or aim it overhead in a larger venue and let people reach up into the beams for that crazy feel.

I have to make a correction to a previous review here. While reviewing the user's manual (always a good idea!) I noticed that there indeed IS a way to control the chase speeds of this 6Spot from DMX. When the 8th channel specifies one of the eight chases (values 11 to 239), the 2nd channel controls the speed of the chase. That is on the manual page 9, but I haven't tried it out yet. That makes this unit much more useful, but I still give it a 4 rating, you can't dim the channels or make your own color mixes. I still recommend this as A LOT of BANG for the buck.

Comments about Chauvet 6SPOT LED Color-Changer Lighting System:
Very light, very easy to set up! The bar has a hole in the middle to slip on a light pole and screw tight there. (mine had to be filed down inside, the weld line was very promenent.) It is small and visually looks decent. LEDs are certianly low-maintenance. The spot beams are somewhat narrow, only 10 degrees, requiring a good 50 feet distance to cover a performer. That would be better for something like a mirror ball. Programming, even with DMX is very simple.
As for drawbacks, you may notice in the pictures that the three color beams (red, green, blue) do not exactly line up so cyan, magenta, yellow and white have colored edges to them. For me that is tolerable. I also noticed the yellow color is a bit washed out and not too saturated. The built-in chase programs are somewhat limited, most problematic for me was the inability to alter the speeds of the chases from the panel or with DMX. Also, strobes are not very 'stobe-y', they are on 50% and off 50%, so I would call them flashing, not strobing.
Still this is worth considering, it is very light, affordable, easy to set up, and one of the few ways to get up to six independantly controllable color-changing spot lights to highlight specific parts of a scene or stage. The red, green, blue, magenta and cyan colors are fairly rich, but not extremely powerful. The yellow and white are not so pretty. I'll have to see how long this holds up, but it appears solid enough if it is not abused.

i'm a dj who is very busy and find that this addition to my light show is not only very portable but easy to set up and run. takes no more room in the van,i even did 2 shows in 1 day a wedding and a club! ha ha both on time!!
Comments about Chauvet 6SPOT LED Color-Changer Lighting System:
We use these as accent lighting for stage shows, I would reccomend haze or fog to really make them pop. Nice and bright, and they are very responsive on sound active. Expect to get many years of service from them.
DMX or sound active, plenty of options. Several mounting options make them very versatile.
Very bright & responsive, a little fog or haze really sets them off.
Not a bad price for what you get, with LED prices still high compared to incandecent, with all the different operating modes and chases these are a good bargain.

The 30-year-old former Portsmouth man has played a key role in the Magpies' dramatic improvement in recent weeks with Coloccini sidelined by a groin injury.
Alan Pardew's men have beaten Chelsea and Tottenham in their last two Barclays Premier League games without their inspirational skipper, who was an unused substitute at White Hart Lane and will hope to resume when Norwich head for St James' Park at the weekend.
But Williamson told the Northern Echo: "The manager has openly said he is going to keep a winning team. That can only carry on and is a good thing.
"Colo is a fantastic player, a great leader and club captain. It is nice to be playing, but it can all change week to week and I'm sure he will be back at some stage.
"I have to make sure I stay in there."

Gum Disease May Make Diabetes Worse
June 6, 2008 -- Taking care of your gums may be one of the best things you can do for your health if you have diabetes.
Poorly controlled diabetes has long been recognized as a major risk factor for gum disease, but there is a growing body of research suggesting that untreated gum disease, in turn, makes diabetes worse.
"It is definitely a two-way street," says Stony Brook University professor of oral biology and pathology Maria E. Ryan, DDS, PhD. "If there is oral infection and inflammation, as with any infection, it is much more difficult to control blood glucose levels."
Ryan summarized the research on gum disease and type 2 diabetes in a symposium at the 68th annual scientific session of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) in San Francisco.
Many Unaware of Gum Disease-Diabetes Link
Ryan tells WebMD that health care providers who treat type 2 diabetes are only now beginning to recognize the importance of good oral hygiene for controlling the disease.
American Diabetes Association Vice President of Clinical Affairs Sue Kirkman, MD, agrees.
"This is definitely something the diabetes community needs to know more about," Kirkman tells WebMD. "It is now clear that periodontal disease can make diabetes control worse, and there is even some evidence that it increases the risk for diabetes complications."
Those complications include heart disease, blindness, kidney disease, and amputation.
Nearly 21 million Americans have diabetes, and it is believed that nearly a third have severe gum disease with significant loss of gum attachment to the teeth.
Bleeding gums are a sign of periodontal disease, but infection and inflammation often occur with no visible signs of trouble.
"[Gum] disease is often silent," Ryan says. "This is especially true for smokers, who often have significant inflammation with no bleeding."
In her presentation at the ADA meeting, Ryan reported on an unpublished study she conducted with colleagues from Stony Brook University suggesting a direct correlation between insulin sensitivity and severity of gum disease in people with prediabetes.
The suggestion from the study is that treating gum disease could actually slow down the progression to diabetes in those at high risk of developing the disease.
Previously reported research in a population of American Indians with very high rates of type 2 diabetes showed gum disease to be a strong predictor of death from diabetes or heart disease -- independent of other risk factors.
Treating gum disease has also been shown to have a positive impact on blood sugar and diabetes control in other studies.

New York, September 6th (TradersHuddle.com) - Shares of Salesforce.com, Inc. (NYSE:CRM) are trading very close to calculated support at $142.13 with price action closing at just $144.73 and placing the stock near levels where traders will start paying attention.

What is best practice for setting up multiple wordpress sites? Should one use the same database or is it better to use multiple databases? Will it causes conflicts down the road by using the same database?
I understand multiple wordpress installs can be done with different table prefixes (using WAMP with phpmyadmin at the moment). Is it wiser to keep them separate databases when it comes time to sync them onto a server? I don't have access to server just yet but I wanted to get a few different sites going this weekend and I don't want to botch my databases or create any conflicts. I think we will be hosting these on GoDaddy.
Sorry if I'm completely off base here- I'm quite new to all this.

Hello Larry I just would like to say this is a GREAT PIECE OF WORK! Also I had made a AMV Ghibli tribute using your music. Sry for not asking due to I get carried away when I hear great songs. Tho I do give Credit to the Artist of course!
P.s. I am also working on another Ghibli tribute with Dreams of a Harpist ( Yeah sry for not asking lol )
Enjoy vid if ever interested~
Cool video!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I don't give a rating of 5/5 to everything, but you deserve the respect for this one. The melody and harmony mesh together absolutely perfectly, and the bass rather than being overpowering, compliments them. I first heard this on denisolenison's idlebytes, genius to put this into an idle game--makes you want to keep on clicking ;-D--, and the fade-out/fade-in is a perfect way of working around the looping .mp3 problem in flash. I can loop this one for inspiration while I write my novel. Kudos, man. Keep on jamming.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Superb song, packed with awesome. Found it from the game below (IdleByte on Kong).
Rated 5 / 5 stars
this music is very good, can i use it in my game?
Yes that's fine.

The Competitiveness Impacts of Climate Change Mitigation Policies
The pollution haven hypothesis suggests that unilateral domestic emission mitigation policies could cause adverse "competitiveness" impacts on domestic manufacturers as they lose market share to foreign competitors and relocate production activity--and emissions--to unregulated economies. We construct a precise definition of competitiveness impacts appropriate for climate change regulation that can be estimated exclusively with domestic production and net import data. We use this definition and a 20+ year panel of 400+ U.S. manufacturing industries to estimate the effects of energy prices, which is in turn used to simulate the impacts of carbon pricing policy. We find that a U.S.-only $15 per ton CO2 price will cause competitiveness effects on the order of a 1.0 to 1.3 percent decline in production among the most energy-intensive manufacturing industries. This amounts to roughly one-third of the total impact of a carbon pricing policy on these firms' economic output.

I post a lot of movie reviews to my blog and so I use the Excerpt field to add a short synopsis for each view. I recently changed my theme and now the excerpts are:
- cutting off the punctuation / final words at the end of the excerpt (example; the word "WHOA" is missing);
- cutting off pieces of HTML tags that previously displayed in full (example);
- or aren't showing up at all (example)
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

The site is getting more clusterfucky by the day and I'm kinda over it. I would like to move to another art site, but I'm having a hard time finding one that's decently sized, and isn't mostly furry art. I love you furry bastards but I barely draw furry stuff so I don't feel like I fit into that kind of site well.
Here's some places I've been looking at so far:
Pixiv- (Non-shitty community, but major language barriers)
Wysp-(Looks great, but the site layout kind of hurts my eyes)
Any other suggestions would be super rad and will make me happy inside.

Researchers at the Institute for Cellular Transplantation are finding ways to transplant your own cells into your body to treat and regenerate diseased tissues and physiological processes.
Diabetes increases the severity of wounds, sometimes making them chronic wounds that don't heal without intervention. Researchers collaborate with plastic surgeons on new ways to heal wounds more efficiently with skin grafts. They have developed an innovative "glue-like" suspension of microscopic bits of the patient's own skin that can fill the wound. These microscopic skin particles then grow together and heal the wound. With this method, doctors don't need to rely on artificial skin grafts and don't need as much of the patient's own skin to cover a wound, thus reducing invasiveness and healing time.
Researches have also engineered a novel device that can sew together biologically compatible threads into a matting of controlled size and thickness, which is then placed over a wound to promote healing. This success of this research would obviate the need to use the patients' own skin harvested from another part of the body.
When women undergo radical mastectomies today, the nipple tissue is not harvested, even when it is cancer-free. Thus, when later undergoing reconstruction, the shape of the nipple can be roughly re-created, but not the function or true color. Dr. Rilo's lab is working with plastic surgeons and cancer physicians to find ways of cryopreserving cancer-free nipple tissue so that it can be re-attached during reconstructive surgery, thus salvaging both the form and function of the tissue.
Harvesting adult stem cells from fat and bone marrow, storing them, and then using them later to regenerate other tissue is part of the Institute for Cellular Transplantation's research. Adult stem cells offer advantages over other stem cell strategies because they are the patient's own cells that are transplanted back, and the new tissues don't react with the body's immune system. Avoiding this response increases the success rate of the transplant. Active projects include using stem cells to treat Parkinson's disease, degenerative knee injuries, chronic-wound healing, and diabetes reversal therapy.
When kidneys are harvested from donors, the choice of fluid in which they are packaged and transported can affect the outcome for the organ recipient. Dr. Rilo's lab has determined which fluid offers the best nutrients and environment for the organs, and they are working on ways to educate surgeons about what they should request before kidney transport. They also are determining if this fluid works well enough for kidneys that would normally be excluded from the donor pool due to age or time of death, to be transplanted.
Fifty people who have either undergone a kidney transplant or soon will are enrolled in this study to determine if there are biomarkers in urine that indicate when a transplanted kidney is succeeding or failing. There are more than 30,000 kidney transplants performed each year-- not enough to keep up with demand. The cost of the surgery and lifelong treatment is very high and the success rate of the transplant is not 100 percent. This research seeks to identify and mitigate a failing transplanted kidney before another surgery and/ or dialysis is required.
Finding ways to perfect the coating around islet cells is a priority, so that when they are transplanted during a therapeutic procedure, the islet cells are not attacked by other immune cells that "think" they are invaders. One potential strategy for diabetes reversal therapy is to transplant into a diabetic patient, donated islets that have been isolated in Dr. Rilo's facility. The patient's immune system would normally attack the islets if the patient is not on immunosuppressive therapy, but if the coating around the islets can be modified or replaced and mask the transplanted cells, then immunosuppressive therapy might not be required as a long-term strategy.
For more information on the Institute for Cellular Transplantation, call (520) 626-4341.

From the internationally renowned author of In a Different Voice, a remarkable debut novel: a love story that introduces an unforgettable character in modern fiction, Kyra, and a superb new fiction writer, Carol Gilligan. Kyra is an architect designing a new city, a woman of humor and courage living in a vibrant world of family, friends, and colleagues and determined to break out of old structures. When she meets Andreas, a director staging an innovative production of Tosca, neither wants to fall in love–and yet, inevitably, they do. Their story takes us from Cambridge and an island off the coast of Massachusetts to Vienna, Thailand, Cyprus, and Wales as Kyra seeks the deepest truths about herself, other people, loyalty, and love. This reaching leads her to commit singular acts that startle and shock, inspiring new freedom for others as well as for Kyra herself. Rich with Carol Gilligan's signature gifts–emotional wisdom, subtle renderings of the intricacies of human relationship, conflict and choice, and lyrical prose–Kyra is a luminous, magnificent novel by a writer realizing the range of her powers.

Spike Jonze's Her finally expands to theaters nationwide this weekend, at which point the rest of America will get to desire sentient, sexy smartphones and high-waisted pants and hologram video games and a service that writes our letters for us. And if you notice (I admit, I didn't), you'll also want to live in this wonderful new world because of its lack of automobiles. Her might just have one of the most perfect-looking futures ever depicted in a movie.
But perhaps the best is still Back to the Future Part II. Instead of no cars, there are flying cars. Instead of high-waisted pants, there are inside-out pants. And there's still a lot voice-activated systems and things that talk to you, just maybe not with artificial intelligence. Plus, that movie promised us hoverboards. If you went by how much people have been talking about those things in the past 25 years, you'd think that if they did come true they'd be the most popular new consumer item since the microwave or VCR. Whereas in reality I bet it'd be a short fad, likely because they're really actually not that cool or convenient.
Outside of Her and Back to the Future Part II, there aren't a whole lot of movies set in the future where things mostly look hopeful. If there are any at all. Dystopias, whether exaggerated or developed within reason of where things seem to be headed, have been the more common form of futuristic sci-fi cinema for close to a century. There are movies that have balanced outlooks, where some things look better and other things look worse, such as in A.I. Artificial Intelligence, Minority Report, The Fifth Element, Gattaca, Demolition Man, 2001: A Spacy Odyssey and Wall-E.
We don't get to see a whole lot of the future world in the new movie Mr. Nobody, but the fact that humans become immortal sounds pretty optimistic. And there's always Star Trek, which is pretty nice until you have run-ins with nonpeaceful aliens. And the future of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, so long as Wyld Stallyns succeed in making the world totally excellent. But I'm going to go with Jetsons: The Movie. It's been a few decades since I saw it, but I can't think of another utopian future better than the one there.
Which movie's depiction of the future do you want to come true?

Interindividual use of echolocation calls: Eavesdropping by bats

The use of other individual's echolocation calls by little brown bats, Myotis lucifugus, was tested by observing the response of free-flying bats to presentations of recorded echolocation calls and artificial sounds. Bats responded by approaching conspecific calls while searching for food, night roosts, nursery colonies and mating/hibernation sites. Response was low or non-existant to other sounds. While searching for prey, M. lucifugus also responded to the echolocation calls of Eptesicus fuscus, a sympatric species with overlapping diet but distinctly different echolocation calls. Subadults were especially responsive to conspecific calls.
All four situations in which the bats responded involve patchily distributed resources at which bats accumulate. Concentrations of echolocation calls thus likely serve as cues regarding the location of resources. Individuals approaching feeding groups, for example, could increase prey detection range by up to 50 times over individuals relying solely on their own echolocation.
Although the costs associated with eavesdropping may be negligible for M. lucifugus, for other species, particularly territorial ones, being conspicuous may be a disadvantage and the possibility of being over-heard by other bats may have been one factor involved in the evolution of echolocation call design.

PORT TOWNSEND, WA -- Protesters, their hands up, marched through this paper mill town August 20, chanting "No Justice, no peace" to show their anger at the police shooting in Ferguson, Missouri, of Michael Brown, an unarmed African-American teenager.
Brown, 18, was killed by Ferguson police officer, Darren Wilson. Eyewitnesses and forensic evidence indicate that young Brown had his hands up when the police officer fired, striking Brown at least six times.
Frances Sheldon-O'Neal, 17, who enters her senior year at Port Townsend High School this month, initiated the protest rally and march. Marching with her were her sister, mother, and grandmother -- three generations of a family speaking out against what they see as a racist killing. Others came from Sequim, Port Ludlow, and other towns on the Olympic Peninsula.
"I wanted to raise awareness about this issue and also to support the people of Ferguson, Missouri, to let them know there are people here on the west coast who care about them," Sheldon-O'Neal told the People's World.
"Mike Brown was killed. He was shot so many times. He will never come back. He had his whole life ahead of him."
She added, "I think this is a national issue. Everywhere, police are using excessive force. There is a heavy influence of the military. There was the shooting of Trayvon Martin, Oscar Grant, the woodcarver in Seattle (Native American Indian, John T. Williams)," she added.
Penelope Grace, a Port Townsend resident wore a T-shirt stenciled with the words, "No Justice, No Peace." She said, "I was visiting Los Angeles when police beat Rodney King and L.A. erupted in violence. This is a problem that repeats over and over. It has not changed. Racism is a factor in this situation. I've seen it and lived it and we've got to end it."
Linda Brewster, a MoveOn organizer held a sign that read, "Stop the War on People." She was elated that a teenager initiated the action and that so many other young people joined the protest.
Police violence is an issue that is certain to continue burning fiercely, she said.
"A Grand Jury report in Missouri is not expected to be completed until October," Brewster added. She pointed out that calls are mounting for the removal of St. Louis County, Attorney General Bob McCulloch from the case. McCulloch's father was a policeman killed in the line of duty. He has such close ties to the police that civil rights and civil liberties organizations have warned that he is incapable of insuring an impartial investigation. President Obama sent U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, to Missouri to launch a Federal probe.
The protesters joined hands and sang, "We Shall Overcome."
Sheldon-O'Neal sent out a message, later, that another rally against police violence will be held at John Pope Marine Park in Port Townsend, Wed. Aug. 27 at 5:30 p.m.
