USB Device Not Recognized
My computer OS is Windows 7 Home Premium.
A new HP Officejet Pro 8000 (809a) printer added to system 02 June 2010.
Whenever the computer is activated from Sleep or any Energy Saving mode; or just every 15 minutes up to one hour or more, while the computer is in use, the printer becomes unavailable and a Windows generated Message appears just above the taskbar - it reads:
USB Device Not Recognized
One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it.
For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.
(taskbar icon is present below the message)
Clicking on the above message results in the following:
USB Device Not Recognized
! One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it.
The location of the device is shown in bold type.
USB Root Hub (8 ports)
Unused Port
Unknown Device
Unused Port

Try reconnecting the device. If Windows still does not recognize it, replace the device.
Windows > Devices and Printers shows (among other devices):
The "HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809 Series" with the green check mark indicating default printer.
Below that is displayed "! Unknown Device"
The Properties of the Unknown Device are:
Unknown Device Properties > General Tab
Unknown Device
Device type: Universal Serial Bus controllers
Manufacturer: (Standard USB Host Controller)
Device Status
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems.
(Code 43)
The quick fix is to disconnect the USB cable at the printer, wait 10 seconds, reconnect the USB cable at the printer, then the "Unknown Device disappears from the Devices and Printers display and the printer works properly again.
The next time the computer returns to use after energy saving the "USB Device Not Recognized" message appears and the printer is disabled.
The longer fix is to remove the printer at the Devices and Printers display so there is no printer.
Then disconnect the USB cable at the printer and reinstall the printer reconnecting the USB cable at the printer when the HP software so indicates. Then the printer works again until the computer returns from any Energy Saving mode.
This is tiresome and did not occur until this printer was installed on 02 June.
By the way, the printer was purchased at the local Office Depot and consultation has resulted in the request to return the printer for exchange.
So, is it a printer hardware or firmware problem?
HP Support dose not list any updates or firmware flash availability.

Re: USB Device Not Recognized
Problem solved -- the printer was somehow defective.
A replacement printer of the identical specification (HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809 Series) was obtained and there is now no problem.

Re: USB Device Not Recognized
I have the same problem. this printer is a replacement as my orginal new one was defective and replaced by HP under warranty. It is tedious to either remove and insert the power cord or the usb cord or to turn off the printer and then turn it on several times a day since I use the computer and scanner several times a day.
HP if you are monitoring posts do you feel this unit is defective and if so contact me to arrange an exchange.
Re: USB Device Not Recognized
No reconoce mi computador al usb flash drive v 100 w.
Gracias por la ayuda que me proporcionen.
Re: USB Device Not Recognized
I have the same problem with flash USB drive - suddenly ot's not recognizedby my laptop and only I rebootted it laptop start see it again. But it looks like temp fix. Today I attched external back up HD that worked couple days before and now it's says "unknown device" What is permanent fix for this problem
Re: USB Device Not Recognized
I have a similar problem with an adapter. I have a new HP 505B minitower with Win& pro(32b) that has 6 usb ports. My linksys wireless adapter is only recognised and powered if I use the front two ports, but if I plug in the back I get the "unknown device" message and the adapter is turned off. Why? f10 shows the title of the adapter when I start with the adapter in the back,but as I load windows the power to the adapter is turned off and it becomes an "unknown device".
Re: USB Device Not Recognized
My issue: previously working USB connected HP OfficeJet stopped working. 'Device Unknown' in device manager. Win XP SP3.
Powered off PC and left it UNPLUGGED for 5 minutes. Son of a gun - IT WORKED. Must force some sort of a reload on the mother board - I dunno.
Re: USB Device Not Recognized
The power plug idea hasn't worked with win 7. Strangely the same USB port works fine with a new adapter that actually draws a higher current! Karl
Re: USB Device Not Recognized
How many USB devices do you have plugged-in on the back panel?

Del Monte Wins Approval of Settlement of KKR Buyout Suits
Del Monte Foods Co. and Barclays Plc won a judge's approval of a $89.4 million settlement of investor lawsuits over the buyout of the pet-food maker by a group of private-equity firms led by KKR & Co.
The accord, which gave Del Monte investors about 50 cents more a share, "provides excellent consideration," Delaware Chancery Court Judge Travis Laster said before approving the settlement today at a hearing in Wilmington.
Investors in San Francisco-based Del Monte, maker of Meow Mix cat food and Milk Bone dog biscuits, alleged they were shortchanged in KKR's buyout, for which London-based Barclays provided some financing. Shareholders received a total $19.50 a share as a result of the accord, according to court filings.
Kristi Huller, a KKR spokeswoman, couldn't immediately comment on Laster's decision to approve the settlement today and Kerrie-Ann Cohen, a Barclays spokeswoman, declined to comment. Chrissy Stengel, a Del Monte spokeswoman, didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.
The accord resolves claims that Barclays, which also served as Del Monte's financial adviser, had conflicting interests in the $5.3 billion deal because of its financing for the buyers. The private-equity group led by New York-based KKR included Vestar Capital Partners and Centerview Partners LLP.
Collusion Alleged
Other Del Monte investors alleged that KKR and Vestar colluded on the offer for Del Monte and filed an antitrust suit in federal court in California. The private-equity firms at one time vied against each other to buy the consumer-products maker, the suit contends.
The U.S. Justice Department has launched a probe of the antitrust claims over the Del Monte buyout, Stuart Grant, a lawyer for investors who sued in Delaware, said last week in court papers.
The Del Monte shareholders who'd sued Del Monte and KKR in California sought to have Laster reject the state-court settlement because it would wipe out their claims.
The judge refused, finding the allegation of collusion didn't amount to a "meaty case" and federal prosecutors were better able to press antitrust claims if they exist.
Grant, who represented a pension fund who'd invested in Del Monte, said he was proud of the settlement because it threw a spotlight on the conflicting roles banks sometimes play in buyouts.
'Message Sent'
Del Monte investors noted in their suit that Barclays was paid $23.5 million to advise Del Monte on the deal while also receiving as much as $24 million for providing loans to the buyers. Wall Street firms have shied away from providing such loans in the wake of Laster's rulings in the Del Monte case, Grant noted.
"We've been able to change a Wall Street practice that was more prevalent than people thought," he said. "A message was sent through your honor's opinion that this kind of interested transaction" won't be tolerated, Grant added.
As part of the settlement, Laster today approved a total of $22.3 million to cover Del Monte investors' legal fees and costs in bringing the case.
The case is In re Del Monte Foods Co. Shareholder Litigation, CA6027, Delaware Chancery Court (Wilmington).

For NFL long shots, draft day is an unpredictable emotional roller coaster
"They said I just had to wait it out," he said. "I had a couple offers on the table at the end of the draft, but Oakland had the best offer."
He understood Murphy's disappointment, but he knows how mentally tough his former — and hopefully future — teammate is.
"You've just got to be open to everything," he said. "You've just gotta deal with it."
That's the mindset of all seven of the athletes who worked out together with former Oakland Raider free-agent John Madsen at JMP in Sandy this spring. Four of the men signed free-agent deals — Murphy and Williams both signed with Oakland and will report to rookie camp later this week. Martinez signed with the Seattle Seahawks, and USU lineman AJ Pataiali'i, who graduated from Hunter High, signed with the Baltimore Ravens.
Utah center Vyncent Jones was invited to two mini-camps — the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday and, if he can't lock up a deal there, he'll head to the Kansas City Chiefs' mini-camp on May 23.
"It's pretty stressful just waiting around," said Jones, who graduated from Jordan High. "I didn't quite get what I wanted, which was a free-agent contract. But I got more than some people, so I'll take it."
The reality is that in the NFL almost nothing is actually a sure thing. Even those who get drafted can be cut.
While that can be a terrifying reality, it's also a fact that gives guys like Jones hope.
"Signing a free-agent deal, you're still not guaranteed anything," he said. "Somebody like me could come in and beat out one of those guys. So if I can't steal a deal with the Steelers, then it's off to the Chiefs. It's all down to fate. I'm prepared for anything, so let the chips fall where they may now."
Two others who worked out with the group in hopes of earning a shot at an NFL roster — SUU offensive lineman Gavin Farr and Utah receiver Sean Fitzgerald — are still working for invitations to mini-camps or free-agent deals.
Unlike some of the men in the group, Murphy is in an unfamiliar position.
"I've never been in this position before," Murphy said. "I never walked on. I've never been an underdog. But this definitely puts a chip on my shoulder. I feel I can bring a lot of things to the table and I'm going to try to prove that."
Murphy said he heard the critics who said he shouldn't have left early to declare for the draft, and there were a few moments where he may have agreed with them.
"It can go both ways," he said. "I did think maybe I (should have stayed), but the fact that Trevor Reilly slid (to the seventh round) just confirmed everything I thought about me coming back."
Like Murphy, Reilly served a mission for the LDS Church and he is older (26) and despite an outstanding Pro Day, many analysts speculated that his age hurt him.
"Trevor is obviously happy to be going to New York, but he's one of the best linebackers in America," Murphy said. "He's someone who was first team all-Pac-12, a team captain and one little injury and being a little bit older dropped him to the middle of the seventh round. I looked at that and it was basically confirmation, especially coming off a wrist injury."
He's ecstatic to be headed to Oakland, especially because the team drafted teammate Keith McGill and signed Williams. All three men head to Oakland next week for the team's mini-camp.
"I'm excited," said Williams, whose enthusiasm was palpable. "I just wanted that opportunity. That's all I need."

Hull's Jewish care home is hoping to attract new residents from neighbouring communities whose residential facilities are over-subscribed.
The committee at Menorah House is looking further afield to help fill its rooms, while assisting those unable to access kosher homes in other cities.
Ranked excellent at its last key unannounced inspection, the home has 24 flats, all with en-suite facilities and sitting rooms.
Harold Flasher, chairman of Menorah House's building committee, said the move was intended to help the home weather the recession.
The number of youngsters taking gap years in Israel fell dramatically this year because of the financial climate.
Only around 60 went to Israel this year, compared to more than 100 a year over the past three, according to FZY, the UK's largest Zionist youth movement.
And Bnei Akiva, the religious Zionist movement, experienced a slide from about 40 to the lower 20s.
But leaders hope that numbers will begin to climb again this autumn with BA anticipating as many as 55 recruits to its yeshivah and year schemes which can cost as much as £16,000.
The former chairman of Lloyds, Sir Victor Blank, will take an unpaid role as a government adviser on overseas investment.
Sir Victor, who left Lloyds after its disastrous takeover of HBOS, will sit on the new Investment Advisory Panel, created by Business Secretary Lord Mandelson for government department UK Trade and Investment.
The panel, which includes Dragon's Den judge James Caan, is believed to have met for the first time this week.
Ian Luder, the former Lord Mayor, has reportedly had his impending knighthood dropped after defending bankers' bonuses.
Mr Luder, the 681st Lord Mayor was allegedly due to receive a knighthood in tomorrow's New Year Honours List but will be the first Alderman to be denied it in more than 50 years.
In June Sir Gus O'Donnell, Cabinet Secretary, head of the Home Civil Service and chairman of the main Honours Committee said that Lord Mayors could no longer expect to automatically receive a knighthood.
Israel is officially out of recession after the Central Bureau of Statistics reported that the country's economy grew 2.2 per cent on an annualised basis in the third quarter of 2009.
This followed 1 per cent growth in the second quarter.
Israel was one of the last Western countries into recession, enjoying growth of 4 per cent last year despite a contraction of 1.6 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2008. The recession hit hardest in the first quarter of this year, when the Israeli economy contracted by 3.2 per cent.
Senior executives and company directors have been no more immune to redundancy than anyone else during the economic downturn. Whilst there is talk of the tide turning, people are still losing their jobs.
Employment disputes and redundancies are a typical feature of troubled economic times as companies react to dwindling revenues by firing employees at all levels in order to cut costs. But lawyer Elaine Aarons, a leading employment expert who specialises in advising executives at international law firm Withers LLP, believes this recession has been different.
Up to nine redundancies will be made at the Holocaust Centre in Nottinghamshire in a bid to alleviate its financial crisis.
The memorial and educational centre founded by non-Jewish brothers Stephen and James Smith 14 years ago needs to slash its annual budget from £800,000 to £500,000 and activities such as professional training could be axed. It intends to focus its resources on educating the young — 22,000 primary and secondary pupils visit the centre every year.
Peter Marks ran his family bakery business in north London for 22 years. But the combined competition from internet shopping and a new Tesco Metro forced him to sell up in June 2008. He continued to manage the store but earlier this year, it closed for good and the 51-year-old became jobless for the first time in his working life.
Marks is not alone. Jewish workers have been victims of "operations streamlining" or "office downsizing" since the recession hit, just like everyone else.
The recession could redefine the status of the security industry, particularly among the Jewish community, say former policemen Adam and Nick Conn.
The number of students applying for UJS Hillel's scholarship fund has increased by 30 per cent in the past year.
Chief executive Daniel Marcus revealed parents and students are applying for the grants at record rates as they struggle to meet the soaring costs of going to university.
The effect of the recession, coupled with the fiasco over delayed student loan cheques, has left some Jewish students fighting to fund their studies, accommodation and living costs.

In the last winter of WWII a failed German actor, Max Kaspar, is forced to join an absurdly desperate secret mission in which he must impersonate an enemy American officer. So Max cooks up his own fanatical plan — he'll use his false identity to escape tyranny and war and flee to the America he'd once abandoned.
The Losing Role is based on an actual false flag operation during 1944's Battle of the Bulge that's been made infamous in legend but in reality was a doomed farce. In all the tragic details and with some dark humor, this is the story of an aspiring talent who got in over his head and tried to break free.
The Losing Role is the prequel to Liberated: A Novel of Germany, 1945—Max Kaspar is the older brother of German-American US Army captain Harry Kaspar in Liberated. The third novel in the series, Lost Kin, reunites the estranged Kaspar brothers in 1946 Munich.
Includes an excerpt of Liberated: A Novel of Germany, 1945 (Kaspar Brothers Book 2).

Wow, what a great story. This is definitely a hard book to put down once you get started. Steve Anderson really knows how to write a historical thriller that is both entertaining and captivating. The standout in this Authors books are his characters, and the background and attention to detail he puts into each one of them. You can understand that Max Kasper would rather be an Actor than go to war (who wouldn't). It's probably only his acting skills which get him through some of the situations he has to face. In reading each one of Steve Anderson's books I've learnt a bit more of WWII history, but more so because of his in depth descriptions I could visualise the horrors of war, and the aftermath. If you haven't read one of his books, then I would highly recommend you do.
Makes you want to read the follow up involving the main character's brother.
We are proud to announce that The Losing Role by Steve Anderson is a B.R.A.G.Medallion Honoree. This tells a reader that this book is well worth a reader's time and money!
I enjoyed this very much. I've found myself drawn more and more to history and historical fiction and Steve Anderson did a great job with both in The Losing Role. His attention to detail in the locations and events surrounding the storyline are much appreciated, yet those details are used to bring life to the story rather than merely rehashed trivia. It is also refreshing to see a portrayal of a German soldier as something other a buffoon or a soldier mindlessly following in Hitler's quest for world domination. Max is simply a German actor who gets drafted into service during wartime, yet all he wants to do is to entertain his audience, wherever that may be. The Losing Role is an excellent story that you don't have to be a history buff to enjoy.
World War II and the German false flag operation are historical facts, but Anderson takes poetic license with the details, introducing us to an imaginary German soldier known as Max Kaspar. His geniality and optimism seem out of place in the middle of a battlefield, and yet the author depicts him with just enough hardness to make his persona believable. When an impossible mission is set before him, it is easy to wish for his personal success and to cheer him on anxiously, even with an ever-present awareness of how the war finally ends. The characters in this novel are well-drawn. While some personalities may touch upon stereotypes, the author adds enough minor detail and emotional range to make his creations human and accessible. Flashbacks into Max's past help the reader to understand his present mindset, and subtle nuances in the dialogue reveal more about motives and suspicions than the conversations appear to discuss. The author's attention to speech and word choice creates consistency and clearly distinguishes each character from the next. Even as Max slowly loses himself in his role, the reader never loses his handle on Max. More often than not, The Losing Role plays fast and loose with the basic rules of grammar - and it works. The sentences, much like Max's thoughts, alternate between well-structured and half-formed, complex and simple. Sections of stream-of-consciousness writing allow us to access the protagonist's mind, while more formally written passages convince us that the author is in full command of his pen. The sprinkling of German adds authenticity, and the combination of Anderson's writing style and well-chosen descriptions gives us the sense that we are actually present in POW camps, icy woods, or an old, abandoned theater. As an espionage thriller, The Losing Role succeeds in capturing and maintaining a reader's attention; the constant, underlying tension practically demands it. The pacing is outstanding, as are the explanations of "tells" that give the German spies away. War novels are not usually my genre of choice. Even so, Anderson's book renders that preference wholly irrelevant through wit, charm, and a well-crafted plot. I look forward to the next installment in this innovative series. Stimulated Outlet Book Reviews
"The Losing Role" by Steve Anderson is a historical fiction book which takes place during World War II. The story follows a failed German actor who is drafted to infiltrate American lines posing as an American officer. Max Kaspar, a.k.a. failed German-American actor Maximilian von Kaspar, is fighting on the Eastern front when he is drafted by the SS for an unknown mission. Soon Max discovers that he has been recruited to impersonate American officers and cause havoc behind enemy lines. Realizing the absurdity of the plan, Max devises his own plan which ultimately, he hopes, will bring him back to America and to his true love, the theater. I'm a sucker for espionage thrillers especially if they take place in WWII. "The Losing Role" is an interesting book with a refreshing twist, it is told from the view point of a German solider - and a likable one at that. Max has been disillusioned by the promises of America, he has been grinded by the rough life of an immigrant and an actor and has decided to go back and protect the Fatherland. As an immigrant I can certainly understand Max's disappointment. Many immigrants come to America with a promise of "streets lined with gold" only to realize that the only thing guaranteed is hard work and that there is no such thing as "easy money". No matter what everyone else say. Mr. Anderson made Max an affable character, an actor wearing a uniform due to his naïveté. We meet Max on the brutal Eastern front, fighting the Russians, but learn about his life in America through flashbacks. This is a well researched and fascinating book. Mr. Anderson's description of Operation Greif (Germans posing as Americans) comes across very vividly as a part of the last attempt for the Germans to turn over the war, even though it seems that the men in the field realize that it is in vain. However the confusion that Operation Greif caused among the Americans is well documented and Mr. Anderson does a wonderful job bringing that to life. Some historical characters, such as the colorful German Lt. Colonel Otto Skorzeny, make a cameo which is always a pleasure. Skorzeny was the leader of Operation Greif and lived to see the end of the war (and then some), he was a formidable commando. For more book reviews please visit ManOfLaBook dot com

But a show of three Swedish artists at Howard House explores threat: the threat of filthy little pygmies and sadistic lower-class families ruining the neighborhood (Nathalie Djurberg's In Our Own Neighbourhood), the threat of burka-style wraps covering entire couples (Annika von Hausswolff's The 21st Century Transitional Object), and the dueling threats of boredom and escape (Johanna Billing's Look Out!). It's live-action video, animation, and photography. (Howard House, 604 Second Ave, 256-6399. 10:30 am–5 pm, free.)JEN GRAVES

Lil Wayne, Birdman and the rest of the Young Money Entertainment are still supporting Justin Bieber in the wake of his latest racist video to surface, telling TMZ that Bieber is still family.
Young Money President Mack Maine said everyone on the label has interacted with Bieber extensively and there has not been a hint of racism on Justin's part. Mack Maine says the majority of Justin's crew is black, and "Bieber does not have a slave mentality. He treats his people with respect."
Mack Maine says Justin has "legitimately adopted the culture of the hip hop, African American culture."
And Mack Maine says everyone in the Young Money camp believes Bieber's age at the time he recorded the song is highly relevant. Mack Maine confessed, "I remember telling a white man, Chinese man, Black man joke as a kid that was terrible and I told it to my friends because I thought they'd think it was funny."
Mack Maine says that joke was as offensive as Bieber's, and the difference is simply he didn't get caught.
For all these reasons, Mack Maine says Young Money will continue to work with Bieber.

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
I have comic book weapons on the brain these days. I've been working on a few comic pitches and weapons are involved (because of course they are). And it got me thinking about all the great weapons I love in comics.
Comic have heavily influenced both of my novels – and for the second novel – Storykiller - I decided I needed to create a weapon worthy of my lead, her mission, and the massive world I was creating. So it was with a lot of my favorite comic book weapons in mind that I created La Colombe Noire (The Black Dove) a magical double sided axe that could only be called forth (and wielded) by its owner and its ownership could only be transferred by killing the previous owner with it. The Black Dove turned out to be one of my favorite things in Storykiller, though it certainly helped to have artists like Sophie Campbell and Stephanie Hans bringing it to beautiful life:
So I though it might make for a fun column to talk about some of my favorite comic book weapons. What's on this list…well, there's a mountain of great weapons in the comic-verse, but since this column is about women in comics I decided to stick to weapons that have been wielded by women at some point or another (sometimes exclusively, sometimes not). And then here's the usual disclaimer: these are not necessarily the "most powerful" or "best" weapons but just my favorites — both those I enjoy reading about and those that I would most definitely like to get my hands on as a creator!
In no particular order:

It's that time of year again, the time for a million lists, including my 25 Favorite Fictional Females in comics list. Like all years, this was tough. Like all years, I'm never quite convinced I've got the list right, but for better or worse, here we are!
Fair warning, if someone was repeated from a previous year, I often cribbed some of the text from my previous post with some light updates to reflect changes. Here are last year's list and the first list in 2010 (as well as a 10 ladies making a run for the title list) in case you'd like to read about even more female characters in comics. It was a really exciting year and with a promising 2015 ahead of us I'm very excited about where we are when it comes to our progress with female characters – as always things are a bit two forward and one back, but we're making progress! I'd like this list a bit better if there were more indie ladies on it (there are so many that are worthy) but Marvel's push with female characters this past year did a good job of gobbling up a good number of spots.
Like last year, what I found most interesting is how some characters managed to triumph over lack of material or worse, bad material. Wonder Woman, despite the fact that I can't read her book, hasn't fallen much– maybe she's just got so much iconic power that others are helpless to overcome the big shadow she casts? I spent a lot of time when trying to organize my list this year thinking about the characters that I'd most like to see creators work with in new series – that was how I ended up defining where they fell – how interested I found myself in seeing them in new stories. Still, you can't underestimate the power of reading both old and new – Black Widow makes the list this year (finally) thanks to some damn fine work by Nathan Edmonson and Phil Noto, while Big Barda shoots up the list because I took some time out this year to read/re-read all her classic Kirby stories…and how can one deny her utter dominance after doing that??

There were so many good books last week, guys!
Seriously, I did not even make it through my whole reading stack, and still I had too much trouble trying to pick just one to write about for this week's column. So instead we're going to do a tiny bit on several, including some gorgeous images. One of these books is actually NOT a pick, but I wanted to talk a little bit about why it skates so close to being a pick and then 2 panels at the end completely ruined the whole book for me. Very disappointed.
So let's get to those books!

News last week of my beloved Rogue being left on the cutting room floor for the forthcoming X-Men Days of Future Past film had me all mopey and thinking about why certain characters mean so much to me, and who manages to hang on, despite all odds. It was time for a list!
[As a sidebar, I didn't have time this year to do my annual holiday gift list, but I've included links to all of these characters' best or recent work that I mention so that if you're shopping super late this year, this could help you out.] And fair warning, before we begin, if a character was repeated on the list and I didn't have a ton of new thoughts on her I cribbed heavily from my 2010 post, but I gave myself permission, so don't worry.
As mentioned, back in 2010 I did a 20 Favorite Fiction Females post, and now, after a truly exciting year for female characters in comics, and with a promising 2014 ahead of us, I thought it might be time to revisit the list. See who still makes the cut and who fell clean off. I did a post in early 2013 about 10 characters that were making a run for the title, and some of those ladies did indeed make the jump, and deservedly so.

I was thinking a lot this past week about Young Avengers forthcoming end with issue #15, and how, as disappointed as I am to not be getting that book as a continued ongoing, there's something wonderful about how Gillen and McKelvie's Young Avengers will now exist as a nearly perfect 15 issue run, with limited guest artists, no phone-it-in-issues (which just happens over a long run, it's only natural), one clear and concise vision, and most importantly, no damn crossover issues or messy event tie-ins. Young Avengers will be able to be collected into a few awesome trades, and if we're lucky someday maybe a sweet little omnibus. It will be a great book to put on your shelf and go back to time and time again. Kind of like the wonder that is Nextwave Agents of H.A.T.E. – which I re-read at least once every year – and which stands out in the way that only the "brilliant but cancelled" can.
But maybe these things don't have to be "cancelled," maybe, instead, like Young Avengers they can just choose to be one smaller and more defined moment.
Hi All
I'm feeling a little burned out both as a writer and as a comics reader. Add to that the fact that the focus of this column (women in comics) is sometimes too narrow a focus for my interests. Hell, it's kind of amazing that I've been able to talk about such a thing for nearly 4 years (yup, 4 year anniversary coming up in November!). On the subject of women in comics, most of the time, you need only ask, and the comics gods will provide. Still, I'm a bit exhausted. So I thought maybe we could just talk. I'll say some things, and I'll ask some questions, and if I'm very lucky some of you will be interested enough in what I'm talking about to talk back in the comments.
This was just one of those weeks that makes you want to stop the planet and get off. While I was feeling as if there was no escape from the horrible crap happening, I happened across this old Daniel Clowes 2009 New Yorker cover — one of my favorites — and decided to focus on some positive comics stuff as a coping mechanism.
Here is your assignment, should you choose to accept it:
Create the ultimate comics time capsule that aliens will someday discover. Show them the best of comics (and the world? your call!) with the 22* comics you're allowed to put inside the capsule. Are they the 22 comics you think are the greatest of all time? Or are they the best and strongest representation of what we had to offer in quality and breadth? Are they just the ones you can read over and over again? Are all of those the same thing? Again, your call!
A few simple rules:
#1. You can put in an omnibus if it exists, as 1 entry (example: The Planetary Omnibus – in it goes!)
#2. It has to be already out, as of today (example: The Planetary Omnibus does not come out until January 2014. Damnit! Out it goes).
#3. You cannot put in all the individual trades of a book's run in the capsule as 1 entry (example Y: The Last Man). You CAN fill the capsule with 22 volumes of the same thing, but even *I* have to question your judgement there!
#4. We'll make an exception for special books bound together in a case/collection (example: The Collected Calvin & Hobbes can go in, or Bryan Lee O'Malley's complete Scott Pilgrim series, as well as unique one of kind comics experiments of the form – like Chris Ware's Building Stories). Unfortunately, something like all the gorgeous Wednesdays Comics in their original format would not work (unless you wanted to use it as multiple entries), but you could put in the collected edition…man, I wish I had room for that. Damn!
#5. Only comics. So, no, as much as you're dying to put in my brilliant take on female superheroes in prose form (cough>The Girl Who Would Be King<cough), it's a novel and thus is not eligible. Double damn!
#6. Yes, you can put in single issues, but man that single issue better be good!
For the rest, you guys decide, they're your lists, I don't have our fearless leader's skills or devotion, so I'm not going to make individual rulings beyond the above. Have at it!
I probably don't have anything new to say, but what the heck, right? We're all friends here!

Warren Buffett's total compensation declined 14 percent last year to $423,923 as Berkshire Hathaway spent less on his security, but his salary remained unchanged at $100,000.
Buffett's salary for leading Berkshire as chairman and chief executive hasn't changed in more than 25 years. The $323,923 for security was the only other element of Buffett's 2012 compensation because the billionaire foregoes typical executive perks.
Buffett again paid Berkshire $50,000 to reimburse the Omaha-based company for any personal costs.
The proxy statement Berkshire mailed to shareholders this week also showed that Chief Financial Officer Marc Hamburg is paid significantly more than Buffett.
Hamburg's compensation grew 6 percent to just over $1 million from 2011's $974,750.

TALLAHASSEE (AP) -- A state House plan for spending nearly $50 billion next year advanced Friday but not before lawmakers debated whether to spend $14 million to help counties upgrade voting equipment to prevent a repeat of the 2000 election recount.
The House budget proposal does not include the money to help local elections supervisors and the Fiscal Responsibility Council defeated an amendment by Democrats to shift the money from the Department of Transportation to pay for voting equipment.
But Rep. Carlos Lacasa, council chairman, said he wants a report on how $20 million the state sent to the counties for upgrades earlier this year is being spent. The extra $14 million could be added to the budget as early as next Friday when the bill goes to the full House, he said.
"We've still got a week to the floor," the Miami Republican said. "I wouldn't be terribly concerned about this yet."
There are four more weeks left in the two-month legislative session -- if lawmakers end on time -- but the budget-writing process is still in the early stages.
Lawmakers don't yet have a final estimate on tax collections for the fiscal year that starts July 1. Analysts for the Legislature and Gov. Jeb Bush will meet in two weeks to settle on the final projection.
That number is expected to increase -- but Lacasa said Friday the higher estimate won't cover differences in the Senate and House proposals.
The upper chamber is a little behind the House in budget writing; the Senate Appropriations Committee is scheduled to vote on its plan Thursday.
The bottom line of the House plan is $48.2 billion, not even 1 percent bigger than the current budget, which lawmakers had to cut last fall because of lagging tax collections.
The exception is schools, which would see a 3.75 percent average increase per student under the House plan.
"We've been struggling to give every penny we could give to our classrooms, to our teachers, to our students," said Rep. Evelyn Lynn, the Ormond Beach Republican who heads the Education Appropriations Committee.
Rep. Sandra Murman, R-Tampa, chairwoman of the Health & Human Services Appropriations Committee, made it clear she's got some hopes pinned on the new tax collection estimate.
The House plan devotes $17.2 billion to health and human services and $15.2 billion to public schools, community colleges and state universities. Environmental programs and roads get $7.8 billion and prisons, courts and law enforcement get $3.5 billion.
Democrats, who hold just 43 of the 120 seats in the House, sponsored an amendment to transfer $14 million from transportation to voting assistance for counties.

I have WordPress installed on my site and would like to develop an A_Z directory of Board Game Rules with are downloadable .pdf Documents.
At the moment its kind of clunky. I have created pages (A-E, F-P, Q-Z) and put the documents as hyperlinks in tables. see here.
Is there a more elegant way to do this? Perhaps using some plugin that will give me an A-Z Directory which I can add my .pdf documents to easily?

Introduction. Given the efficacy of latex condoms for preventing pregnancy, HIV, and most STI, their promotion remains central to global sexual health efforts. To inform the development of accurate and appropriately-targeted interventions, there is a need for contemporary condom use rates among specific populations.
Aims. The purpose of this study was to establish rates of condom use among sexually active individuals in the U.S. population.
Methods. Data were collected via a national probability sample of 5,865 U.S. adolescents and adults aged 14 to 94 years.
Main Outcome Measures. Condom use was assessed during the most recent partnered vaginal or anal sexual event and over the past 10 vaginal and anal intercourse events.
Results. Condom use by men during past 10 vaginal intercourse events was slightly higher (21.5%) than that reported by women (18.4%), and consistent with rates of condom use reported during most recent vaginal intercourse by men (24.7%) and women (21.8%). Adolescent men reported condom use during 79.1% of the past 10 vaginal intercourse events, adolescent women reported use during 58.1% of the same. Condom use during past 10 anal intercourse events was higher among men (25.8%) than women (13.2%); the same was observed for most recent anal intercourse event (26.5% for insertive men, 44.1% for receptive men, and 10.8% for receptive women). Generally, condom use was highest among unmarried adults, higher among adolescents than adults, and higher among black and Hispanic individuals when compared with other racial groups.
Conclusion. These data indicate clear trends in condom use across age, gender, relationship status, and race/ethnicity. These contemporary rates of condom use will be helpful to those who lead efforts to increase condom use among individuals who may be at risk for sexually transmitted infections or who desire to prevent pregnancy.

Shaun Tanner has been a meteorologist at Weather Underground since 2004.
By: Shaun Tanner , 6:18 AM GMT on December 17, 2012
This is the Pacific Northwest regional radar. As you can see, a tremendous amount of Pacific moisture from a very strong storm is spreading throughout the Northwest, bringing very heavy rain and high elevation snow from the coast of Washington and Oregon through Idaho. One look at the severe map for the Northwest region shows the true extent of the effects of this storm.
Winter Storm Warnings are the white colors that stretch from northern Washington through the slopes of the Sierra Nevadas in California. In addition, Winter Storm Watches are posted as far east as the Colorado Rockies. I expect these watches to be upgraded to warnings as the moisture and storm moves inland. The WunderMap satellite is showing a ton of moisture streaming inland, which supports the forecasts from the NWS.
A staggering amount of snow is expected areas in the Cascades above a few thousand feet on Monday. The NWS is warming of 2 to 3 feet of snow above 4,000 feet through Monday, with 1 to 2 feet above 2,000 feet. That is a couple feet of new snow in about 24 hours. In addition, wind gusts will reach 60 mph or higher for the Cascades into Monday morning, reducing visibility as the wind blows the freshly-fallen snow. Travelers throughout the Pacific Northwest should be very cautious, especially when traveling over mountain passes.
An important mountain pass in Washington is Snoqualmie Pass, which is likely to see several feet of snow by the time the storm is done.
WSDOT webcam from Snoqualmie Pass. Note the tremendous amount of snow.
Past 2-day snowfall for Draco
We've been watching the atmospheric models over the past several days and have been astounded at the model suggestion of a very active weather pattern for the West Coast over the next two weeks. Of course, long-term forecast over 7 days are extremely unreliable, but the models have been persistent with the opinion of an open storm door through the end of the year. This, of course, includes Christmas.

Vikings Running Back Adrian Peterson Tears Ligament in Left Knee
Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson tore a ligament in his left knee during the team's 33-26 win over the Washington Redskins.
An MRI last night revealed a tear to his anterior cruciate ligament, the National Football League team said. Recovery from a torn ACL may take as long as nine months, according to MedicineNet.com.
Peterson, 26, who scored a touchdown on a one-yard run in the second quarter, left the game in pain after he was tackled by Redskins safety DeJon Gomes at the start of the second half.
"Anytime you take a blow to the knee like that, you're concerned about the ACL, MCL," Peterson told reporters before the results of the MRI were known. "I'm trying to stay as positive as I can."
Head Coach Leslie Frazier will give an update tomorrow, the team said. Peterson has played with the Vikings since 2007.

"I can tell you that those individuals most closely associated with the incident have been suspended from their duties and were referred for administrative action," said Colonel Patrick Ryder, a spokesman for US central command.
Women often avoid going to the police with their issues or seeking legal redress for their grievances because of a fear of the social stigma that's stacked against women in Afghanistan, Hosai Bayani explained. And so they come to her.
The massive demonstrations marked a display of unity since those killed were Hazara, a primarily Shia ethnic minority that has long been targeted for attacks by Islamist militant groups in the region.

The event was in recognition of one of the seven principles of the holiday.
YOUNGSTOWN — Several dozen residents of the city and surrounding communities gathered for a Kwanzaa celebration that took a slight deviation from the norm.
Kwanzaa is a weeklong holiday honoring African-American heritage. It is observed from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1.
Kwanzaa consists of seven days of celebration, each day representing a different cultural value. It was created by Ron Karenga of California and was first celebrated from Dec. 26, 1966, to Jan. 1, 1967.
People gathered Monday night at the Buckeye Elks Building on North Avenue to celebrate Ujamaa, which means cooperative economics.
Kenneth King of Youngstown, a community activist, historian and former radio personality known as "Brother K," said cooperative economics is important particularly in the black community because businesses receiving that economic support can then support charitable causes important to blacks.
This, he said, is an important aspect of community building.
"If we are to build a better community, we cannot do that by spending money outside the community. We can only do this by spending money inside our own communities," he said.
As if to emphasize King's point, vendors were on hand selling various types of merchandise such as throw tapestries, books, calendars and CDs.
Brother Lewis Muhammad of Muhammad Study Group No. 9 said the cooperative economic lessons learned during Ujamaa have become increasingly meaningful in light of what is happening in the country economically.
"The general theme of our discussion is preparedness. With the economic downturn, all of the talk about the economy, the history of the Great Depression and things happening in various communities across the country, we need to deal with our responsibility for ourselves as a community," he said. "It is better to be prepared and nothing happen, than unprepared and something happens."
Muhammad deviated from the more common speaker-driven dialogue form of Kwanzaa recognition and encouraged those attending to participate in a dialogue about what things are currently available in the community to facilitate economic strength.
He said a fresh idea could be hidden in the collective mind of the community and waiting to be coaxed out.
Participants were seated in a circle with each person contributing a thought or idea related to cooperative economics or general community building.
Some declared education as a means to achievement, while others re-emphasized the importance of keeping funds in the community, but everyone centered on preparedness for economic hard times in the community.
Muhammad said dialogues such as those seen during Kwanzaa are necessary on a more regular basis to keep the community focused and informed.
"Our young people may be caught up in the cable television or hip-hop, and everyone has their own burden to bear and may not be paying attention, so it's important to interface and try to keep the community informed," he said.
The evening's activities were sponsored by Muhammad Study Group No. 9 and the Sankofa project, which, according to its Web site, www.The Sankofa.org, is an international movement of empowerment and self-improvement. Sankofa means "to return to the past in order to go forward."
I think this is great. Cooperative economics will be more important than ever during the economic collapse ahead, and has always been important to the black community in a system dominated by unequal opportunities.
"Cooperative economics."
In Youngstown terms: a gang getting together and robbing innocent people.
Stunningly well-put, Grump. The writers at Hateipedia approve.
What is so well-put about Grump's post exactly? Its falseness or its racism? Kwanzaa doesn't "compete" with Christmas and Hanukkah- it is celebrated along with whatever religious holiday people are. Do some research before making an ass of yourself for crying out loud.
Also, *why* do black folks seemingly have no roots of their own?? Could it be because a bunch of lazy white people came to their land and robbed them for their own lazy selves so they wouldn't have to work their own fields? Now these same lazy white people are blaming the very people who were robbed of their roots for not having any roots. Circular logic of a Youngstown racist.
Sorry, OhioPerson, my use of irony clearly was a curveball for you. Next time I'll stick to monosyllabic (sorry, one syllable) words and leave the creative writing out of my posts.
(I rated yours a bad comment. I did this because you are an idiot. Enjoy breathing through your mouth and dragging your knuckles on the ground while you walk.)
Jeff, I thought you might be calling him out, but it is so rare around here for anyone to call anyone else out on racism I couldn't believe it. That doesn't make me an idiot, just makes me wrong about something inconsequential. You wanna focus on me missing your BRILLIANT use of irony (WOW you're so clever! "Hateipedia"! You must be SMAAAART!) fine, but the larger issue here is Grump's racism.
I notice you didn't rate Grump's a bad comment, I guess that means when people don't notice how smart you are you get more upset than when people say dumb racist stuff.
Racism is always going to exist so just get over it already.
And I don't want to hear that 1950's crap about how the whites hate the blacks, the blacks aren't treated fairly, the blacks will never be equal to the whites, blah blah BLAH.
Blacks are just as guilty of being racist as whites are, if not worse.
It's okay, a lot of people don't get my point till the second read. Perhaps I should type slower.
"Blacks are just as guilty of being racist as whites are, if not worse."
Wrong. You are so wrong. You might be able to find instances of a black person being racist against whites, but white racism against non-white folks is so pervasive, so strong and institutionalized, there is no *one* way to fix it. Black folks celebrating Kwanzaa is one step the black community is taking to grow closer to each other and help each other cope. This is a good thing if you aren't buried in some mind game of "us vs. them".
aeparish, please read http://mmcisaac.faculty.asu.edu/emc59.... You have serious issues you need to work out regarding non-white people. I don't know where all the hate comes from, but you should really get some help.
PS I already know the link I am posting is old news to most educated people- I am asking aeparish to visit it because it seems necessary.
PPS Jeff perhaps you should get over yourself.
Hate? I never said that I hated anyone. So don't tell me that I need help.
And you pretty much agreed with me by saying there are instances of blacks being racist against whites, right? Because as far as I am concerned, your comment following that statement ("but white racism against non-white folks is so pervasive, so strong and institutionalized, there is no *one* way to fix it") has nothing to do with what I said earlier. I never mentioned that there was *one* way (or any way) to fix it. In fact, I said that it will always exist -- whether it's white people being racist against blacks, blacks being racist against whites, or any other culture being racist against another.
As far as whites having an 'invisble knapsack of privilges'... if people honestly feel that way, then it's only because everyone else has an 'invisible wall' around them. If a black person, or any 'minority' for that matter, wants to have any of those 50 'priviliges' then all it takes is some confidence and effort. But no, instead, many choose to play the race card and hide behind the wall because they might look different than the person standing next to them and therefore, for some reason, feel inferior. And whites are guilty of it too, not just minorities. I know some very confident black people that carry on excellent lives because they have created that for themselves, but I also know some white people that lack confidence altogether and as a result, are suffering the consequences physically, mentally, financially, and socially. When I look at myself, I don't see a white person. I see a confident, successful, hard worker who has worked for what she has. And when I look at a black woman who has those same qualities, I see those qualities -- not 'just some black person.'
So -- now that you've gone on your little rant about racism and prejudice, I'll have you know that you took it upon yourself to judge me and my perception of this issue. So who's judging who here?
Even though you didn't realize it we seemed to share the same point-of-view here (the validity of the holiday, negativity regarding race, etc.)...until you decided to start telling people in the forum specifically what they believe. That's not cool.
PS-You get over me first.
I went for some background on you, aeparish, and was partly responding to this comment by you directed at me (only just noticed it) on another thread where you say "And I also find it 'difficult' to look at a black person who is now allowed to eat in the same restaurants as me, use the same toilets as me, and go to the same other facilities as me... but yet that person still has the nerve to complain and act like they're still owed something? Please."
I was responding to what you stated were your beliefs. In the quote above it's pretty clear (correct me if I'm wrong) you feel that since black people have the privilege to use the same facilities and share the same space as your White self, that that should be enough luck for black people. I don't know- I think you're racist. Sorry if according to you and His Greatness, I'm not allowed to make that call, but I'm making it anyway.
You and I are on the same page now. I think we were all along.
What I don't get is everytime you guys bad mouth black people its always as a whole, you group them together as if one black persons wrongdoings represents all. Rappers make up a small part of black people, and rappers who bad mouth black women make up an even smaller part. Youngstown has all races and many different types of people, it isn't all blaack and all the black people here aren't robbers, drug dealers, and killers.
You are wrong, because I never said anything about luck, nor should it even be about luck.
All I was saying was that I get bothered by the blacks that think they're owed something. They aren't owed anything -- they got their freedom and they got their rights. What more do they want? And by saying that -- I do not mean all blacks, because clearly not all blacks are so bitter about the situation (and if they are, they don't let it take over their lives).
Furthermore... Did I not, in that comment you are referring to, sympathize for the blacks, Jews, etc. that endured the hatred?
Let's get back to basics..Kwanzaa is a man made holiday, by the black people for the black people. It is a meaningless attempt to over-ride Christmas.Used to be we all celebrated Christmas ONLY, till some jerk came up with Kwanzaa and the black population jumped on the bandwagon. Just another way to separate the races.
Kwanzaa is celebrated ALONG WITH Christmas. That means Christmas is celebrated first, THEN after that, Kwanzaa is celebrated.
Also, NEVER has it been true that "we all celebrated Christmas ONLY". There's Hanukkah, Winter Solstice, Bodhi Day, Id al-Fitr, Saturnalia... Winter Solstice was celebrated LONG before Christmas was ever celebrated.
Yeah, Kwanzaa is celebrated along wtih Christmas.
And since I'm soooooo "racist," I'm going to humor your previous judgments against me and say...
Of course a lot of black people celebrate Christmas AND Kwanzaa. A lot of black people seem to think they should have everything (even the extra 'a' in Kwanzaa).
There is NO such thing as Kwanzaa, just like there is no such thing as Santa Clause. You want to celebrate some stupid name, celebrate it in August, but don't infringe on my Christmas.
clayor, u imply christmas is not a man made holiday, y isnt it in the bible, unless u r speaking of jeremiah 10, u dont know when or if jesus was born and if he was what does that have 2 do with u giving and receiving gifts and was he born in december
They do, clayor. It's called February.
Someone should block OldManGrump from this site. All he does is spread hate and cause controversy making the Vindy.com look bad. Get rid of the bum.
I'm not sure where it was decided that I was a "liberal," but thanks for noticing Tomcat. I think we can all benefit from a holiday tradition that reflects on the history of a major contingent of the American population, much in the same way we can all benefit from learning about Irish-American History, Italian-American history, Japanese-American history, or any other. What makes us an incredible people is that we are from everywhere.
I still wonder, though, why folks like Tomcat aren't upset about Yule or Samhain or any other pre-Christian holiday that's been stolen and trumped by European-style Christian holidays like Christmas and All Saints Day (which are, I might add, two enjoyable and worthwhile holidays). Still, it might do to remember that most of the holidays we think of as standard "American" are traditions that covered up older ones.
At any rate. I don't want to censor, I misspoke earlier. I just want to reserve these boards for spreading information and not spreading hate. There is no reason for somebody to post -- without provocation -- what OldManGrump did at the beginning of this list.
You are so right, Tom, if we all agreed on everything, it would be a boring world! And Pack, I don't think we are spreading hate here, we are just voicing our opinions, which is what these forums are for. Grump started it off with his opinion, if you took it for hatred, you are the narrow minded one. I think he, myself and many others simply see the ridiculousness of this Kwanza issue.....minus the A.20 years ago, nobody ever heard of Kwanza, now all of a sudden it deserves recognition, to be put right up there with Christmas and the 4th of July. I would like to declare a new holiday, Whingza....to be celebrated from January 8th to the 16th, so not as to interfere with Kwanza. I will check with the city to see if we can have a place for a factory to make white wings for everyone.Maybe a party on the Plaza...call the vendors...this sounds like a plan..I bet it will "fly".
Clayor. Agreed on the boring comment. But what bothers you so much about a group of people celebrating a holiday that you don't celebrate? Why is that ridiculous, or at least so much that it motivates you to post comments about articles that cover it? Would it be less ridiculous if was a thousand-year-old tradition that, while older, brought just the same amount of meaning and happiness to the lives of the participants?
Consider this: what if the holiday brings a community (of which you are not a member [I'm only guessing]) a degree of satisfaction and unity that makes your own greater community (Youngstown area) a better place to be?
I don't mean to be contentious here, I'm actually curious. I'm only twenty-five years old, but I don't have a "birthday issue". Those in my life have come find worth in just a quarter of a decade, enough so to celebrate with me. Quite a few more celebrate Kwanzaa.
Sorry for the long post.

I have an old ATI Radeon X1600 128 MB graphic card with my late 2006 MacBookPro model. The system preference display only a 1440 x 900 resolution and all documentations I found say the same.
My question is, if it is possible to achieve a higher resolution (HD) if I connect an external monitor with a possible higher resolution? Is the graphic card able to handle that or other words is this a graphic card issue at all?
My Mac is that old, that the technical specifications only reveal in the google cache.

On 23 November 2011, in Black Case No. 311/2554, Ampon Tangnoppakul (also known as 'Arkong'), a 61-year-old man, was sentenced to twenty years in prison for four alleged violations of Article 112 of the Thai Criminal Code and the 2007 Computer Crimes Act. Ampon's crime was to allegedly send four SMS messages to Somkiat Klongwattanasak, personal secretary of the former prime minister, Abhisit Vejjajiva.

Four SMS messages, a disappearance, and the foreclosure of justice
On 23 November 2011, Ampon Tangnoppakul was sentenced to 20 years, the longest known sentence to date under the Computer Crimes Act of 2007. His alleged crime? Allegedly sending four SMS messages with allegedly anti-monarchy content to the personal secretary of the former prime minister, Abhisit Vejjajiva. As Prachatai has reported, the sentence was delivered via videolink as flooding made it unfeasible for Ampon to be brought to the Criminal Court to hear the sentence.

Departing newsreader Bill Woods reflects on his 24 years at Channel Ten
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- November 18, 2012
DEPARTING Newsreader Bill Woods looks back on the highlights of his 24 years with Channel Ten.
I was born and raised in a small town and that small-town mentality has never left me. It's about just doing your job and looking after the people who are most important: the people. I always felt like the politics of work was a waste of time, time you should be spending getting better at whatever you're doing and helping your co-workers get it done. There's some advice for young players, but after recent events I won't be surprised if you ignore it.
Before I go on, I don't want this to sound like an epitaph because I have a stack of things I still want to do and a boundless energy with which to do them.
However, after such an extraordinary week I have been given the opportunity, on behalf of many departing Ten presenters, to just say "thank you".
Let's be honest. TV hosts should be fairly low on the sympathy scale, so I am eternally grateful to all the very nice people who gave up some of their time to support someone so thoroughly undeserving. I won't say I've never met them because I have. I've talked to them as honestly and thoughtfully and enthusiastically as I can about thousands of things that I hoped were interesting, important and sometimes amusing.
That alone has been the greatest privilege of the past 24 years. I've never been into hobnobbing with all the cheek-kissing daaahlings that flutter like moths around the limelight. While I'm as partial to a free ticket or free feed as anyone else, I'm more comfortable with real people who do real things. I'd never snub an enthusiastic punter because I've noticed someone "important" walking past. To me, that is the biggest mistake a TV presenter could make. If I have ever let anyone down, I didn't do it intentionally and I apologise.
I am also deeply touched and grateful for the kindness of so many colleagues from near and far, past and present, working for rival networks or in some really bizarre places.
Some were people who had mentored me. Some I had mentored. Some were old bosses who liked me only because I didn't know where their offices were. Of course, I asked them all for money.
Friends have cushioned me with endearing loyalty. My closest mate, who still lives in our home town, called me up to sympathise.
"How could you do this?" he yelled. "Ten just got the bloody rugby rights! Who am I gonna bludge a ticket from for the Test matches?"
Ah, rugby. That did remind me of all the wonderful things that have happened to me while I was wearing a TEN logo: flying around the world to share with viewers some amazing events, locations and insights from extraordinary people. You can't feel sorry for a bloke who spent two months based in a St Germain apartment to cover the 2007 World Cup. I mean, really.
One of the weirdest interviews was with Michael Jordan at Warner Brothers studios in LA. He was starring in Space Jam and the producers built a huge marquee, complete with gym and full-size basketball court, just so he could train when he wasn't on the set. It was like a royal visit, complete with diplomatic gifts. I gave him an Akubra hat, which he liked. I also gave him an NBL board game I had invented. I wonder how long it took for him to throw that out.
The curious thing about megastars like Jordan, Beckham, Schumacher and Bolt is that once you get them away from their squad of minders, they're actually quite easygoing. I remember getting into some hilarious post-interview sledging with Bolt because I'm a Liverpool fan and he's a Manchester United fan. Sadly, he was too young to remember the '70s and '80s. That guy never loses at anything.
I've also been so lucky to work with co-hosts, commentators and experts who were gracious, dedicated and not stuck-up tossers who took themselves too seriously. I can't think of a person I didn't enjoy working with. I have made many lasting friendships. Laugh? Boy have we laughed. Banter and practical jokes abounded. Most of it was silly stuff that wouldn't translate well so trust me, we were funny.
A typical incident was in Perth, where my great mate Barry Sheene convinced me it was OK to drive our hire car through a crowded pedestrian mall to get a parking spot, where he promptly found a police officer and tried to have me arrested. The only time I ever cried on telly was when we ran our tribute show for Baz, the week after he died.
My sojourn in motorsport allowed me to drive and ride in some of the fastest vehicles in the world. I qualified for a racing driver's provisional licence, though I never raced. As Baz once said on RPM, "You know how bugs get splattered on your helmet visor when you're racing? Bill is so slow, bugs hit the back of his helmet."
But the scariest thing was a tandem parachute jump with one of the Red Berets over Adelaide for a feature story.
