"Suicide Squad" B-Roll Footage Reveals Harley Quinn's Classic Jester Costume
Film, Comic Books
Check out my write-up of the news here. This is majorly heady stuff, and if anyone wants to talk about the legal aspects of the case, feel free to ask questions here. Maybe I can do a FAQ in the future.
They should sell their half to Marvel.
I wonder what affect this could have on future movies, cartoons and Smallville?
Also, IF Superman were to become Public Domain….does that mean Marvel could introduce the character in their Universe? Sorta like how they both have a version on Hercules, maybe?
I'm not up my Public Domain laws, but from what I've read this could get real interesting…
Man……I'm just glad that justice is finally served. Maybe the sigel's can find somebody that can actually write the character.
It's a shame Lee and Ditko couldn't have saved Spider-Man.
I'm a bit confused on this point:
"Therefore, in 2013, Shuster's estate (represented by Shuster's nephew Mark Peary) will terminate just like Siegel's heirs, meaning DC might very well lose the copyright to Superman entirely until 2033, at which point Superman would enter the public domain."
So in 2013 if DC loses the copyright and both creator's estates are terminated then who holds the copyright to Superman for the next 20 years?
Knowing how things seem to operate in the DCU nowadays, I'd guess Batman would get the copyright — and hold it over Superman's head like the Kryptonite he usually carries…
Kyle: You're misreading the term "terminate." It means that the heirs nullify the sale of the copyright TO DC, and reclaim it. So right now, DC owns half the copyright to Superman, and the Siegels own the other. If, in 2013, the Shuster estate terminates the sale of its half, then it becomes co-owner with the Siegels.
Also, IF Superman were to become Public Domain….does that mean Marvel could introduce the character in their Universe? Sorta like how they both have a version on Hercules, maybe?
I'm not sure how that would work. Probably only stuff that originated in the very first comic would be in the Public Domain, or perhaps only stuff created by Siegel and Shuster?
If you use a Public Domain character in your stories, the specific stuff you creates for your version of the character is still yours (until that too eventually slips into the public domain, I think).
If only Action Comics #1 enters public domain, then Marvel probably wouldn't be able to give "their" Superman flight and x-ray abilities and the kryptonite weakness, since these elements were introduced later.
Why was just issue #1 of Action not a work for hire, when every other issue was? And does this copyright cover just reprints of the 58+ year old books themselves, or current iterations of the character? Most importantly, doesn't DC still maintain a TRADEMARK on the characters, ensuring no one else could put his picture or name on the cover of anything they choose to reprint (or commission) with Superman in it? I'm so confused.
It's great to see Siegel & Shuster get their due. Leaving alone most of the legal concerns, I think it's important for proper credit to be given to the creators.
Maybe now my copy of Action Comics #1 will finally be worth something!
You know why I love this blog (besides the fact that I write for it)? Because the commenters on it aren't completely insane, like those on the Newsarama thread about this story. Man, those people are nutty and way too angry about this. But it's fun to read Scott Chantler ranting about what a bunch of tools they are.
The Newsarama people aren't insane, just selfish. They're against anything that might shatter the illusion that the fake universe to which they've devoted so much emotional energy is anything but an accident of publishing history.
wow…..those newsarama guys must be affected by red kryptonite…..or whatever color it is that turn people into jerk wads….
So in 2013 if DC loses the copyright and both creator's estates are terminated then who holds the copyright to Superman for the next 20 years?
Yeah, as Michael pointed out, terminate just means terminate DC's copyright.
The Siegels and Shuster's estate would co-own the copyright until 2033.
Why was just issue #1 of Action not a work for hire, when every other issue was? And does this copyright cover just reprints of the 58+ year old books themselves, or current iterations of the character? Most importantly, doesn't DC still maintain a TRADEMARK on the characters, ensuring no one else could put his picture or name on the cover of anything they choose to reprint (or commission) with Superman in it? I'm so confused.
Because the story in Action Comics #1 was written by Siegel and Shuster already. DC bought the story (and the characters within them) FROM Siegel and Shuster.
The later stories, however, DC paid the Shusters to write FOR them – so DC is considered the owners of those stories, from a copyright perspective.
It's a narrow difference, I know, but I think one that pretty clearly falls on the side of Siegel and Shuster. The story in Action Comics #1 was written many months before DC went looking for stories to put in Action Comics #1.
And yes, DC still owns all the trademarks (including the name and the big red S).
I love that this blog for the most part has civil comments and discussion. Very refreshing.
Although I must admit I first interpreted Greg and Mr Midnight's posts as "Newsarama people are crazy because they don't agree with me" and I was going to call you out on it. Which probably would have come across as snarky and asshole-ish, and therefore rendered your points invalid. Which then would have made you look stupid. So you have me to thank for you not looking stupid.
You're welcome.
I don't mind the Newsarama guys, I think it's just a case of not knowing the history. If they did, I doubt they'd react the same way.
You should see posters at the Superman Homepage. Everyone's all "oh no, where will I get my Superman fix? Screw the selfish Shusters!" It's sickening. You'd think the people over there would be more versed in the legal history of their favourite character than the Newsarama posters, but apparently not.
Just made my first ever post at newsarama about this, and I'm duplicating it here:
I'm always amused by people who, having read a headline and maybe a couple paragraphs about a subject, think they know more about it than people who have been putting literally years of work into it (and this includes lawyers).
I wonder what affect this could have on future movies, cartoons and Smallville?
I think Smallville is covered under the Superboy lawsuit; and the people from the movie branch of things have always been nice to the Siegels. Well, at least nicer than DC. In fact they were still invited to take a tour and see the filming of Superman Returns, even though they had all those lawsuits going on.
Also, IF Superman were to become Public Domain….does that mean Marvel could introduce the character in their Universe?
If Marvel is still around in 2033, I think so. Yes. He'll have to wear the original custome as seen in Action or a new one, on account that DC owns the trademarks. Also, the "S" will have to be different from the current one.
I'm not up my Public Domain laws, but from what I've read this could get real interesting…
You mean like Captain America leading the Justice League for DC and Superman going to Marvel?
Well, even though it is fun to speculate; the reality is different. Think of it as "co-writing" a song. If U2 decided to play all your songs in a concert, that wouldn't mean that you'd get half the proceeds from the concert. No. You'd get a generous licensing fee and royalties. And that's about it. But they still get paid. It's great because they can just sit back and let DC do all the work.
In fact, after all this fighting, I'd doubt they would pull a Chester Lampwick.
wow… that's incredible!
jazzbo…thank you for making not look stoopid.
And let me apologize if my comment did indeed make this other wise civil forum seem lowered in standards in some way. Definitely not my attention.
And to clarify what some of the comments on Newsarama were that made me react that way…
Mentioning that Sigel and Shuster sold their rights to the character in 1938 and therefore have lost their rights to the charcter for $130.
There is a great deal of historical truth in the statement of course…but they were kids…..hungry out of work kids living in the depression. $130 back then was like a Willie Wonka Golden Ticket and I think they rushed the decision in a naive manner and that they were indeed exploited and victimized.
If not then…surely when D.C (National) realized exactly what type of cash cow they had on their hands and never tried to even things up into the court action suits started to roll in.
The other comment that really got to me was several people were pointing that D.C has already paid the Sigels and Shusters several times in the past as a result from these court actions.
True once again…..but in my mind they could have paid those guys the same amount of cash……….EVERY year since 1938 and those two guys would have still not recieved what they rightfully deserved.
D.C more than likely makes the amount of the previous cash statements paid to Sigel and Shuster…in a day.
Finally….the "I can't believe there are comic readers out there happy about this…"
Spoken like a true heartless, non-creative……..jerkwad.
I think it's just a case of not knowing the history. If they did, I doubt they'd react the same way.
Your charity does you credit.
But all it takes is any threat of the flow of superhero comics even slowing down and the lynch mob forms in seconds. You have to show some sort of concrete assurance that the DCU will not be materially affected by this and yes, Superman will still be there waiting for you on Wednesday. Then, MAYBE, you'd get a little desultory interest in the history.
I still can't believe, especially after displays like the one at Newsarama, that so many people lined up to scream bloody murder at me because I suggested there was something unhealthy and weird and even addictive about that kind of behavior.
Does this ruling apply to the whole of Action Comics #1 or just the Superman story within? Was the rest of the issue created as a work for hire once National agreed to release the comic? Could this potentially affect the use of Zatarra and related characters?
Coming from a heartless non-creative jerkwad Im going to try and play devils advocate here. While I understand this ruling and it makes sense. The famaily does deserve to get Action #1 back based on the law, the constant belief that the families were screwed and they deserve all this back money dosn't hold water.
As pointed out 150 bucks was a lot of money..if this character had flopped the company would have been the ones who made a bad deal, no one twisted Shuster or Siegals arms to sell the story. I wish people who worked in comics would understand buisness a little more. When you work for a company they are paying you for your idea…what they do with that idea and whether it goes big or not is not up to you anymore unless it is put into your contract. You can not go back and complain later that it made more money than you thought and you want a bigger slice. Im sorry no one owes you a damn thing you have already been paid.
Just to clarify, Yes I understand that Action #1 was not done as work for higher, that is why while Im not thrilled with the judgement I understand under the law it was the right one, but this argument comes up a lot in comics, and I feel sometimes we blindly side with creators against the evil companies.
Of course, who knows whether Congress will pass another extension before then.
They really oughta just cut the crap and pass a Steamboat Willie Protection Act.
As irritated as I am about the absurd state of copyright law in this country, I can't fault the Siegel estate for using it to their advantage.
Comic fans are a bit like the Spacing Guild in DUNE. The Comics Must Flow- all other issues are irrelevant.
This pretty much will put DC out of business.
Does anybody know why the copyright termination date became effective as of 1999?
Looking at the dates: 1938 + 56 years would imply the original copyright protection would have expired in 1994, at which point the Siegel estate could have exercised their termination.
I'm not a lawyer, just asking based on Brian's article.
Another question: Do the Siegel's now have standing to go after properties that infringe on the Superman copyright? I'm thinking of characters like the original Captain Marvel, Hyperion from Marvel, Underdog, etc.
Ha! I will admit, Bryan, that I was just hoping that noone picked up on that. I decided it was way too confusing to explain in a piece that was already pretty complicated. That said, for a brief (and so not thorough) explanation, the Siegels had a 5 year period in which to terminate, and they used it all. So DC gets those extra five years. It is a lot more complicated then that, but that is the basics.
As for your other question, I dunno for sure, but prolly not.
Ok, let me see if I follow this correctly (and for once I'm not trying to be funny or a smart ass):
This ruling is based on Superman as he appeared in Action Comics #1. So this is before the flying, kryptonite, diamond shaped "S" symbol, Lex or the rest of his Rogues Gallery, heat vision, super everything except strength and leaping ability. So in effect it gives the Siegels half the copyright to a five or so page story and an origin that has been fleshed out so much to make the original story almost obsolete.
So if that's the case, nobody really has anything to worry about.
But as a defense to those who are upset over it, I can see their point of view. Because in just looking at it, it seems like this- a local artist does a painting, you buy it from him or her for a couple of hundred dollars then years later you sell it at an auction for a million and the artists family says "Hey you owe us some of that money." It's not that simple, but on first glance, it seems that way.
Thanks for the answers Brian.
For what it's worth, I predict both this and the Superboy case will be settled out of court. I don't think either party would want the risk associated with a jury decision on compensation.

Hmm. Interesting.
Y'know, since he's far and away my favorite version of the character, I wouldn't mind seeing some new stories based on the Golden Age Superman.
I know the history and I'm still pretty selfish. Granted, I'm not going to spout out a bunch of ignorant cruelties on a message board, but I'd rather have my shared universe kept pristine, what with Kon-El running around alive, than a bunch of creator's rights. I'm just a jerk.
I can see the logic on both sides of the debate re: compensation, but have a really, really hard time understanding where all the vitriol against the Siegels is coming from anyway.
As several brave souls tried to point out on the Newsarama thread…they had a legal recourse, and they took it, and it was granted to them. This doesn't make them 'good' or 'bad', 'idealistic' or 'greedy'; it makes them shrewd and practical. Same way DC/TimeWarner behaved in their turn.
But all it takes is any threat of the flow of superhero comics even slowing down and the lynch mob forms in seconds.
This is the other part that's freaking me out. There are people who seriously believe this will result in no Superman anywhere anymore ever?
Actually, km, I think they believe it will result in no DC Universe anywhere anymore ever. Or at least not as it exists now.
The latest piece of confusion seems to be over what having the copyright to Action Comics #1 entails. When people talk about the whole limits of what it copyrights (no heat vision, no expanded origin,etc.), that is just a limit of what the Siegels can use…DC, meanwhile, if they lose the copyright in 2013, would ONLY get access to the post-Action Comics #1 stuff, which is effectively useless for DC.No alien from Krypton, no Clark Kent, no Lois Lane, no…well, everything else that was in that story.
Brian, I have a question about the public domain thing. You stated that Superman will enter the public domain in 2033 under the current copyright law. But isn't the copyright terms different when it's owned by the individual creators and their estates? I thought the copyright terms were 95 years in case of corporate ownership, and creators' lifetime plus 70 years in case of creator ownership. Since Siegel passed away in 1996, I thought his heirs' portion of the Superman copyright would not become public domain until 2066. Or is it different when the copyright is reclaimed from corporate ownership?
It's totally understandable how that could be confusing, SKFK.
Those laws you mention are for more recent copyrights (and all future copyrights). Old copyrights, like Superman, just got a flat extra 20 years, making it a flat 95 years, so 2033.
Thanks a lot for the answer, Brian. I forgot about the different standards for copyrighted material created before the changes in the law.
You know,
I would love to egg on these posters with the notion that in 1980 DC outright bought the rights to Captain Marvel, and can continue publishing "his" comics beyond 2033; with him leading the Justice League and starring in all the Countdowns, Arenas & Trinities that your heart could desire.
But the fact of the matter is that "Superman", it's ownership, trademarks and copyrights are ASSETS (like Land); and DC, Time-Warner and all the people involve already charge themselves (and others) a fee for its usage. It's basic Cost Accounting 101. I should know, I amortized Smokey the Bear for USDA's 2001 Financial Statements.
"The flow" of Superman comics won't stop; it's just that the usage fee will be smaller because half of it will go to the Siegel heirs.
If I were DC, I would hedge my bets by arranging an exclusive long-term contract with the Shuster heirs, so as to secure the exclusive rights through 2033.
After that… well, they can still enforce their trademarks. It's like the Fleischer Superman Cartoons. They are in the public domain; but you have to be very carefull as to "how" you sell them.
"The flow†of Superman comics won't stop; it's just that the usage fee will be smaller because half of it will go to the Siegel heirs.
"The flow†of Superman comics won't stop; it's just that the net revenue will be smaller because half of the usage fee will go to the Siegel heirs.
For those of you who are of the "no one forced them to sell for a small amount" crowd, please keep in mind just how long ago this was. This was quite unpresedented. There is no reason to expect that the young Siegal and Shuster could have predicted the sucess of their creation.
Just as the incredible screwing of Judd and Krikfalushi (sp?) by MTV over Beavis and Butthead and Ren and Stimpy just a few years (decades? where has the time gone) ago.
The fact that these people got screwed over did make for people like the South Park creators being more wary about what contracts they signed. But, I think that some sympathy should go to the people who got screwed in the first place.
Especially since they are really just using the law to try and recover a bit of what they are rightfully owed, the same way that the law was used against them so many years ago when they didn't know any better.
"For those of you who are of the "no one forced them to sell for a small amount†crowd, please keep in mind just how long ago this was. This was quite unpresedented. There is no reason to expect that the young Siegal and Shuster could have predicted the sucess of their creation."
Also this was during the depression and people were desperate to make even a little bit of money.
I'm not too worried. DC/Time Warner needs Superman and the Superman in Action Comics 1 isn't as profitable as the Superman that we have today (can't fly, no kryptonite, Lex Luthor). They'll work out some sort of aggreement, Time Warner will have to shell out a little bit more money and life will go on.
Time Warner will wind up paying the estate whatever they want to keep the character. The Big S brings in millions of dollars in merchandising revenue alone.
Not necessarily. First they co-own it until 2013. If Shuster's heir get the second half in 2013, it's a problem for Dc as they can't use the super-powered alien from Krypton who has a double identity as a mild-mannered reporter and Lois Lane. They still own the TM Superman and can use it on another character (they did that already, there is the Tangent character)
So their options are: change the costume, change the powers, change the double identity, remove Lois Lane, which are several things DC already did but doing it for twenty years…
By 2033 it becomes public domain and they can make Superman's return and reuse all the elements.

SAN ANTONIO (September 3, 2014) Joe Ramos Mercado, 39, was jailed Wednesday, charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in a weekend shooting that left his girlfriend's 6-year-old son and her 11-year-old daughter injured.
The two children were wounded Saturday while they were in a car with their mother.
Shots were fired after she and Mercado argued.
Mercado told reporters after his arrest Tuesday that he was trying to shoot the car, not the children.
Officials say both children are expected to survive.
Their mother wasn't hurt.
Mercado was being held in the Bexar County Jail in lieu of $210,000 bond.

The strange tale of how the electoral system came about puts some of its weird features into context. Once you get this context, it is at least understandable what the Framers thought they were doing.
Read Whole Story
The Electoral College system further distorts the presidential campaign by causing the candidates to grant extra weight to the parochial needs of the swing states.
Mitt Romney got an enormous bounce out of the first debate. This translated into him flipping two states to his column -- something he hasn't been able to do in quite a while.
So many people today watch TV with a second screen around and we are giving them something fun, related, and meaningful to do with extra energy; we have enacted the promise that is interactive television with the hope that it will lead us towards the future of information aggregation.
The Electoral College system is pretty weird. No other country has anything like it (and bear in mind, every country with a written constitution has had the benefit of the U.S. precedent when they designed their own system).
National polls have pulled back into a neck-and-neck contest. This is all fun for the pundits, who (pre-debate) were on the verge of declaring the race all but over (and, hence, boring), but we hasten to remind everyone that this is not how we elect presidents.
Of course, we are heading into debate season, so things could always change, but at the moment it is looking decidedly good for an Obama win. Here's how the election would break down if held today.
The flip state is Ohio at 77.3 percent for Obama and 22.7 percent for Romney. This is a great, simple approximation for the likelihood of the election.
The state of Iowa has only six electoral votes, but nevertheless, it is making a major impact on the presidential race.
As the summer turned towards Labor Day, Obama gained ground every day that Romney did not. Time is kind to incumbents and leading candidates. The burden is now completely on Romney and/or Ryan to move the needle in their four debates
The big question in the next few weeks will be if Obama's impressive convention bounce will hold or fade away. This will set the stage for the first presidential debate, which could prove to be decisive.
If you have limited time to devote to following the presidential election this fall, I suggest you follow the data on just three states: Florida, Virginia, and Ohio. Mitt Romney's only likely path to victory over Barack Obama is to win those three states.
Now is a good time to look at the state of the race, to establish a baseline to measure all this expected frenzied movement.
Since the last time we took such a snapshot, roughly three weeks ago, both candidates have shown some firming up of their positions, but the good news for both candidates is mixed with some softening as well.
Since the last time we checked in, two states have moved toward Romney, two states have moved toward Obama, and three states have mixed news.
America today is politically divided among all age segments. However, older voters have some problems of unique concern, informed by generation and current life circumstances, thus inviting attention when campaigns target advertising.
Believe it or not, 2012 is shaping up to be all about the Beaver State. With innocuous races for the Oregon legislature and an under the radar non-partisan race for statewide office, Oregon is the sleeper state up for grabs in 2012.
This column series will examine the race between Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama in the only way that is useful for actually predicting its outcome: a state-by-state look at how each candidate is doing. National polling is almost completely useless in election prognostication.
Here's the obvious: if Barack Obama wins every state in 2012 where he won in 2008, he will have 358 electoral votes and he will be reelected. The GOP in 2012 must recapture states that voted for Obama 2008 with at least 90 electoral votes to put a Republican in the White House.
When the voting rights of our most vulnerable citizens are threatened, everyone's rights are threatened. Democracy is not a fait accompli, it requires attention and constant care or else it might be lost.
WASHINGTON -- At a briefing with reporters on Tuesday morning, top officials in the Obama campaign outlined five distinct paths that they can pursue t...
Every four years, we are reminded that we employ a completely outmoded method of selecting our chief executive. So why haven't we resolved this problem?
Republican state legislators in Pennsylvania are pushing a scheme that, if GOPers in other states follow their lead, could cause President Barack Obam...
Barack Obama's victory could well be the third realigning election in the past century -- one that will be seen by historians as the beginning of an emerging Democratic majority.
The President-Elect flipped eight Bush states to the blue column and managed to get two states to elect a Democrat for President for the first time in nearly half a century.

Water issue resolved
Posted by Lucy
Water issue resolved
"The water situation in Presho is good," said Mayor Mike Sprenger Monday morning from his office at BankWest Insurance. After confirmation from West River Lyman/Jones Water, Sprenger stated that the issue of more water going out of the Presho tower than coming in had been resolved. The concern over the weekend was that the tower was not staying full. Normally, water goes into the tower at about 170 gallons per minute, but over the weekend that number dropped to 140 gallons. Water for the Presho area comes from the Ft. Pierre intake on the Missouri River.

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Girl
The girls are back for another round of Lesbian Truth or Dare—and this time the fun takes place at a slumber party! Victoria Blue (formerly known as lesbian icon Veronica Snow) has returned after a long absence, and she wants to reconnect with all her best friends. When the girls get together for a slumber party reunion, they can't resist playing their favorite game—and confessing their secret lesbian fantasies! Will learning the truth about each other bring them closer together—or tear them apart? Play along with your favorite lesbian stars and learn the dirty little secrets they dare to tell.
When a bunch or horny chicks start drinking wine, giggling and playing a game of Truth or Dare, all roads lead to lesbian sex. The girls argue, they ponder, they reminisce … but mostly they eat pussy and bring each other to orgasm orally and digitally.
The best of the four sex scenes involves Nicole Ray and Victoria Blue, with great shots of Nicole's hairy bush grinding against Victoria's open snatch, plus kissing, fingering and passionate play. Victoria does double duty with Sinn Sage in another decent scene.
Kristina Rose is a predator and passionately fucks Zoe Britton, and the MILFy scene with Elexis Monroe and Hunter Bryce shows plenty of face-sitting, grinding and some aggressive fingering.
The movie ends with a seven-girl pillow fight, emphasizing the sense of fun and frolic that this series wants to convey.

Really really good except that the one and a half cups of breadcrumbs was too much. It had a very crumbly and dry consistency which made spreading really difficult. Next time, I would add a little bit at a time until it becomes "spreadable." Other than that, it was amazing.

Hi, using "my-calendar" plugin version 1.9.6 and I can't figure out how I can alter the arrows that are automatically placed to the left or right of the text links "Previous" and "Next".
I have a background arrow graphic I'd have in place and I want to delete the basic arrow "«". I can't find any plugin files that are generating this. The only options in the admin area have to do with the wording to use. How can I change this?
I am using the mini calendar in a sidebar if it makes any difference.
Buddypress version 1.5.1 is installed as well.
Thanks for any help.

Alligator Gets Loose After School Show and Telltoddler-times
For as long as it took to show off his live alligator to his daughter's class, Dave Brady was the coolest parent in the State of Florida. Then the gator got loose.
The creature jumped out of Brady's truck and took off for the wild – with the tape Brady had used to keep his yap shut while around the kids still firmly in place.
The jump happened when Brady took the gator back to his truck at the school – so kids were never in any danger. Unless you consider there's an angry gator roaming around their school. But then again, this is Florida. The Panama City News Herald notes the police are interested "only in the gator with tape on its mouth, not other alligators that could be in the same area."
Well, when you make that distinction, sure …
What's the weirdest thing your kids have reported at show and tell?

Nice restaurant with mostly traditional dishes, although I ordered a fish that was baked in salt. The salt was in a shape of a fish and within it, the actual fish (including head and tail). I expected the fish to be salty, but it was absolute delicious I also ordered fall vegetables, which were grilled to perfection. The restaurant was part of the Hilton Hotel (not my favorite hotel group this one looked much better than many in the US) so quite convenient for business travelers, although less so for tourists as it was outside the city's center.
Even though the food was great, it was quite pricy.

Anti-Abortion Activist Rob Schenck Now Opposed to Christians Owning Guns
Schenck, the Washington-based leader of the Faith and Action ministry, has been known for his anti-abortion work for three decades. In the new documentary The Armor of Light, which releases Oct. 30 in more than 20 cities nationwide, he is first seen as many know him: carrying a preserved fetus in his hands at a rally in Buffalo, N.Y., in 1992.
But after personally seeing the bodies of the Amish schoolchildren prepared for a funeral after being gunned down in 2006, he began to realize he needed to care more about life outside the womb, too.
Schenck, 57, credits two other catalysts that led him to devote half his time to the issue of gun violence. He lives in the neighborhood of the Washington Navy Yard, where a shooter killed 12 people in 2013. And he was encouraged by Lucy McBath, the mother of Jordan Davis, an unarmed black Florida teen killed in 2012, to speak out.

Critical Thinking Hallmark Of Education Standards
Published: Sunday, December 1, 2013 at 10:34 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, December 1, 2013 at 10:34 p.m.
MIDDLETOWN, Del. | Remembering the plot of a short story is no longer good enough in teacher Amy Lawson's fifth-grade classroom.
Today's students are being asked to think more critically. For example, what might a character say in an email to a friend?
"It's hard. But you can handle this," Lawson tells them.
Welcome to a classroom using the Common Core State Standards, one of the most politicized and misunderstood changes in education for students and their teachers in kindergarten through high school.
In 45 states and the District of Columbia, Lawson and other teachers are starting to use the standards to guide what skills students learn and when.
To hear the standards' critics — mainly tea party-aligned conservatives, but also some parents and teachers — tell it, there are few things more dangerous happening in the country.
But in this fast-growing community in northern Delaware, it's just another day in the classroom.
The Common Core State Standards are academic benchmarks that outline the skills a student should have at each level.
For instance, third-graders should know how to find the perimeter of a figure. A fifth-grader should be able to compare and contrast two characters from a story.
The standards were created by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers to improve academic achievement and increase accountability. President Barack Obama and his administration embraced them.
That led critics, including Republican members of Congress, to call the standards a national curriculum, or "Obamacore." The standards are not a curriculum, despite the opponents' claims. Each state, school or even teacher can determine how to help students reach those standards.
Alaska, Texas, Nebraska and Virginia decided not to adopt them. Minnesota has adopted only the English standards.
At the core of the standards is a reduced emphasis on memorization. Students now have to connect the dots and apply critical thinking. It's what experts call higher-order thinking. Teachers say it's preparing students for life after high school.
That has made classrooms much more of a hands-on proposition.
In some places, such as New York and Minnesota, the shift to Common Core testing produced in steep drop in student scores, which reflected poorly on teachers.
"We know there is going to be a bump in the road. But we're going to do our best for the students," said Silver Lake Elementary School principal Cynthia Clay, a 31-year educator who has insisted her teachers receive training on the new standards.
Teachers meet in the evenings, during their planning periods and exchange emails asking how they might best approach the standards. Clay pulled together teachers with similar levels of experience so they could share their stories and realize they aren't alone in their frustrations.
"In a perfect world, the tests would reflect how well the students are learning," said Melissa Bowser, a 15-year classroom veteran.
But she, like her colleagues, expects there will be a decline in student scores.
"It will take two or three years," said Sherry Frangia, who has taught for more than 30 years and is bracing for the dip in scores.
That doesn't mean testing is the enemy.
Back in Lawson's classroom, fifth-graders are continuing work on a lesson about points of view.
Students are clustered in groups as Lawson read aloud Judy Blume's 1974 short story, "The Pain and the Great One." Unlike previous years, when students were asked to remember basic details about the plot and characters, the questions this year weren't as simple.
She assigned each student a character in the book and then told them to write an email message from that character to a friend.
The students are being asked to take the reading a step further and to critically question whether their character was an honest narrator.
Students don't seem to mind.
"We're doing things, not just sitting there and listening," fifth-grader Jon Warner said after the lesson. "My opinions matter."
In fact, students are encouraged to disagree with their classmates and push them to defend their thinking.
"Are we allowed to have different opinions about this?" Lawson says, urging her students to share differing opinions about the picture book. "Yes, as long as you have evidence to back this up."

Announced as the MGS Killer, our expectations were high around Ubi Soft's game Splinter Cell based around Tom Clancy's books. We could imagine the happy loving and caring employees of Ubi Soft Montreal putting all thier efforts (despite the cold weather) into that game...but i'm getting lost here.
Would thier game that they announced as the highly acclaimed Metal Gear Solid killer be able to deliver what they promised?
Lights on!
First thing we notice when we light up the game are the impressive graphisms. The textures and the models are of extremely good quality, but the most stunning point of Splinter Cell is it's lightning.
The shadows are simply amazing, it's hard to describe it, you can see obviously that the developers putted a lot of work in making these shadow effects. Almost everything that is in the path of a light source has its shadow cast realistically: a light is in front of somebody? You'll see his shadow casted on the ground, and on the wall behind him. A light behind a fence? Well there you go, you'll see your fence's shadow wherever it should be, and you'll see the thin light rays coming-out of it's holes.
Let's just say one thing: graphisms in Splinter Cell are extremely good.
But the game also has impressive physics: just thought flags or any soft thing to see it: Instead of simply going trough the object or simply stopping at it, you'll see it wrapping around Sam's (the hero) body (no bad jokes here ) very realistically. Also: you see an aquarium and you feel a little sadistic, no problem, just shoot the aquarium and the water will fall from it in a very "close to real" way (before shooting it you'll note how light is beautifully rendered when passing trought water as well ). Last example of the physic: take a
The animations, do they look crappy? No they don't! Even though they look less impressive for the NPCs, Sam does every movement smoothly, and he's got an animation for every different situation. Only thing that looks a bit out is when a character is in stairs. Instead of looking like he is actually doing that, he'll look like if he's walking normally on it, even though it's not very noticeable.
Simon says jump! Simon says crouch!
Sure being able to do a lot of fancy movements is nice, but it's no use if the control scheme is crappy. Well this is the second major point of Splinter Cell: its gameplay.
The controls are so well thought that you can do every complicated actions without thinking much, it becomes almost natural. This makes it possible for the game to have a variety of complicated situations, that you can resolve very easily and naturally.
In the first part i have talked a lot about light, well there is a reason why the devs putted so much emphasis on lightning: Splinter Cell is an infiltration game, where you have to not be seen, and hiding in the dark is usually a way to achieve this (not making any sound helps too btw). You'll find yourself constantly seeking for dark spots, hiding in the shadows, closing lights (or shooting them out ), you'll almost develop an aversion to light.
The music in Splinter Cell is clearly not the major feature here, not that i mean that it is bad, it is very good, but it remains in the background, it is quite discreet and sets well the mood: it contributes greatly to the ambience.
Also, the music changes when something happens, for example: you are hiding around minding your own buisness, the music is calm somewhat stressing, suddenly you make a stupid noise, a chime indicates that an enemy is investigating, the music becomes extremely stressing, but still slow, then suddenly the guard sees you, the music changes accordingly, it becomes panicked....until you escape, then it becomes calm again. (see? Fun)
Sound Effects are good. You can hear the footsteps of people around you, gun-fire, cameras, doors , leprechaun.....etc.. You can really enjoy them if you have a surround system as you guess the location of every sound that you hear.
Voice acting though is really fantastic. Also if you have the French version, the actor who plays Sam is none other than the official dubber of our favourite Terminator.
Ending thoughts
Splinter Cell is an extremely good game with extremely good graphics, gameplay, and sound. You see games like this once or twice during a console life-span. It is truly a must-buy

The game is great. Graphics are amazing, the sound is good also, and the gameplay is a 10. Replay value sucks though...and one thing I'm sure everybody who's played it agrees on...THE ENDING IS HORRIBLE.

Red State Blog Dredges Up N-ggerhead Writer's Old Parking Tickets in Order to Prove, Uh, Something
We feel gross just reading this.
Classy move over at popular conservative blog Red State, where they've been fuming over the Washington Post' s story about the Perry family's hunting camp. In a front-page posting today, a dude named Mike Robinson delves into the "criminal history" of Stephanie McCrummen, the staff writer who penned the Post exposé. What he found: McCrummen has been convicted of three traffic violations and a bounced check.
I've written a lot of nasty things about Rick Perry these past few months, so for all I know, I could be next on Red State's intimidation list. So allow me to beat them to the punch: In kindergarten, I was found guilty of throwing a ball in class. I was given a time-out and forced to trace the numbers from 1 to 100 as penance.
There. Now everyone knows. I will not be silenced.

For all the passion this year's presidential campaign has stirred, a new poll suggests that more than four in 10 voters are still up for grabs.
According to a recent Associated Press-Ipsos poll, 43 percent of registered voters surveyed have not made final decisions on whom to support. That includes 15 percent leaning toward Barack Obama or backing him while saying they could change their minds, and 16 percent tentatively supporting John McCain.
Another 8 percent say they are undecided, and 4 percent weakly back third-party candidates Ralph Nader or Bob Barr.
A poll by the Pew Research Center, conducted in early August and late July, suggests that just three in 10 adults say they are following the campaign very closely.
And in a poll early this month by CBS News, just 18 percent of uncommitted voters said they'd been paying a lot of attention to the race over the last few weeks.
The AP-Ipsos poll was conducted July 31-Aug. 4. It involved telephone interviews with 833 registered voters, for whom the margin of sampling error was plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.

To the Editor.—
As a continuous observer of the abused drug scene over the past 15 years, it has intrigued me to watch the continuously changing pattern of drug misuse.1-3Within the past year I have noted in patients in my private practice and elsewhere a significant shift in the use of marihuana among certain percentage of those involved with drugs. Although it has frequently been stated professionally and in the press that marihuana is not physically addicting, whatever that means, I have noted an increasing number of patients recently who have come to me strictly for relief of a marihuana habit. In their view, they have felt a compulsion. You may call it psychological if you wish, but as far as I am concerned, it is a considerably stronger and urgent force. It is my impression at this point that probably 10% to 20% of those who use

Atletico Madrid winger Arda Turan decided to shave his head after his side's 2-1 win over local rivals Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final.
Turkey international Turan had promised to shave his head before the match if his side could overcome the odds to upset Jose Mourinho's men.
Joao Miranda thumped home an extra-time winner as Atletico Madrid secured a 2-1 win over Real Madrid to claim Copa Del Rey glory in a fiery final that saw both Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo sent off.
The Brazilian defender headed in a 99th-minute cross to clinch a first victory over Los Blancos since 1999 and the 10th domestic cup success in their history.
Mourinho's side had looked on course to maintain their hoodoo over their neighbours when Ronaldo powered home a 14th-minute corner.
However, Diego Costa restored parity just before half time when he fired home a 20-yard shot following a fine turn and pass from Radamel Falcao.
And when the winner flew in, the club's triumph became Arda's loss, as he was resigned to joining the likes of Miranda in the legions of the bald-headed.

George O'Grady discusses what the European Tour does on a global level to bring itself to new heights, including their support of the Amateur Golf Federation, the PGA Tour, the Ryder Cup and the Olympic Games.European Tour inspires people to play the game. We used several different techniques to do that. We support the Amateur Golf Federation throughout the world. We support the PGAs throughout the world. We've used the Ryder Cup to grow the game in the countries we go to. We've supported Golf's Inclusion, the Olympic Games and that, I think, more than anything else in the countries we visit had a really strong impact. The European Tour's always enjoy a really good relationship with the Chinese Golf Association. This year's are our 42nd co-sanctioned event, our first big challenge tour event in China. We give the Chinese players a chance to play against good and top professionals. The growth has been staggering certainly since golf became an Olympic sport and we look forward to continuing our relationship with the CGA for many years to come. No one can be immune to the Eurasian crisis. Golf will come back in spring, Tournament Golf, because we represent credibility and visibility and tremendous value for money. In the meantime, we formed a great partnership in South Africa with the Sunshine Tour , seven co-sanctioned events plus the Volvo Champion Tournament in Durban.

Olympic spirit: Jimmy Roberts talks golf in Rio
Jimmy Roberts sits down with Gary Williams from Sochi to talk about the Olympics and how golf plays into that. Watch Morning Drive 7AM ET.this Olympic magic is all about. -Jimmy, as I've watched the Winter Olympic Games , I have thought about the inclusion again of golf in the program. And since you've covered so many Olympics, the winter games has really evolved. How has the world media reacted to these new events that have been added, and what does it make you think about the inclusion again of golf in Rio? -Well, I think that the way people have thought about some of these newer events, I don't know if we can really draw a parallel only because some of these newer events truly are newer events. You know, we're talking about some of these freestyle skiing events and snowboarding which really-- snowboarding itself didn't really exist 30 years ago or, you know, whatever it was. Golf has been in the Olympic games before, and golf has been around, you know, a lot longer than many of these sports have even been in existence. So, golf is making a return to the games. And I think that, look, you know, we've talked about it certainly on this show, on this network and beyond, the jury is still out. I think people are still divided as to whether or not they think it's a good idea. But I think without a doubt, the first time that something exist in the Olympic games , there's gonna be a level of excitement certainly among the participants. You know, people keep on asking me, well, do I think Tiger is gonna wanna go? Well, yeah. I do think he's gonna wanna go, and I think everybody's gonna wanna go because they're gonna be curious and they're gonna wanna be a part of it. And they're not gonna be mailing it in. It's gonna be very, very exciting. And I think that people who are covering these games are gonna be very, very excited to get some of the world's most notable athletes in the Olympic family as well. -Jimmy, you're gonna put a bow or everyone's gonna put a bow in this Winter Olympic Games tomorrow, and then we turn our attention to a new season of In Play, as will you.

I think it is the opportunity of a lifetime. -In March of 2012, this small town designer beat out seven of the industry's biggest names, including Hall of Famers Jack Nicklaus , Greg Norman , and Gary Player for arguably the most important golf course to be built in decades, maybe ever. -It's always been our goal to be intentionally small. You know, we didn't wanna havefor his minimalist design philosophy, Hanse and his design partners presented the Olympic Committee a plan in hopes of leaving much of the property intact. But there was one other ace in the hole. -I am willing to say to this committee right now that if we are selected to do this golf course and do the designs, I will move to Rio for the period of construction. I will come down here with my wife and 15-year-old daughter. I don't see how a golf course can be designed from a different continent or on a computer or in an office. It was always gonna be part ofwe're all set and done. It should be pretty cool. -Building a golf course for the Olympics is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I'm not sure if this is an odd setup to begin with, but here's my problem regardless:
I have a git repository at the following: git.foo.com/repos/foo.com.git
I clone that repository both on my local machine and my server, such that when I make changes to my local checkout, commit and push, I can do a pull and the changes are reflected on the live site. It's how I guess I deploy from local to live for now.
However, because I have a WP setup and there are assets that are copied to my server and processed (for example made into cacheable resources and shrunk for mobile if they're images), I'd like to have the deployment work backwards and automatically as well.
Locally this is fine because I have SSH keys setup to validate me, such that doing git push goes off without a hitch. However, when I do git push on the server after some files have been added and processed, it prompts for a password and makes it impossible to automize.
What are my options at this point? I've tried inputting the password via a text file, which I don't feel comfortable with in the first place since that's bad practice; I've tried setting up SSH keys on my server which seems odd since it would be validating itself...
I'm at a loss for words as to how to describe my problem, but hopefully someone has encountered a similar problem with backwards deployment (having changes on the server be committed and pushed to the repository).

Matthew Biggerstaff doesn't dubstep around Generation Y Soccer in America
Good evening.
As one of TSG's youngest contributors (Matt has lovely and legitimate conversations about car seats and strollers with our men's league teammates) it is my duty to keep you informed on the social status of the game we all love so dearly with the most important generation (that being my own, of course).
All self-importance aside, I do think that people ages 16-25 are the critical group that must adopt, love, and share the game with their peers to continue the rapid rise in soccer awareness in America if you will.
This will lead it to become a mainstream part of our society (specifically the MLS and USMNT) after some of the great work people like Matt Mathai and supporters groups across the US have done to build supporters and the league.
I know, the first thing you think of when you think of this group is GET OFF MY LAWN, however there have been some positive signs and encouraging progress, including pissing off people like Dana White. Hopefully my observations can provide some insight into how the game is progressing from a social standing.
In case you missed White's (head jabroni of the UFC) rant at the end of March, here is a brief recap.
'Can't stand soccer. It's the least-talented sport on Earth. There's a reason three-year-olds can play soccer. When you're playing a game when the net is that big and the score is 3-1 (and that's a blowout) are you kidding me? You know how untalented you have to be to score three times when the net is that big?'
Apparently Mr. White forgot that just ahead of soccer on the list of things three year olds like to do, is wrestling and fighting. Jimmy Conrad responded via youtube and his analysis was spot on.
First off, tangent much Dana White?
Why does soccer threaten you so badly?
Is it because when this was posted on Facebook and Reddit everyone laughed at your ignorance and wondered what stick got stuck up your ass?
The reaction that I saw was a bunch of people embarrassed for a guy who has 'Old Newspaper Sportswriter Syndrome', otherwise known as the need to knock something they do not understand or like. You know, that columnist in the paper who has been the baseball beat writer since the beginning of time and can't figure out what all the noise over this 'World Cup' is and decides to share his two cents on how soccer is a fad and kids play it until they are 12 and then don't follow it anymore and suddenly they mutate into 'true' (ie baseball) sports fans like some sort of weird genetic experience.
We get it Dana, playing a bending pass to beat three defenders to an onrushing striker after a 12 pass buildup doesn't take as much talent as fighting someone in a confined space.
These gentlemen (generally, I haven't seen any ladies dumb enough to write this sort of article) are a relic of time having been passed by. I'm sure most of them think the internet is a fad, and jorts will be good to wear on warm days this summer. In contrast to this, I will share some things I have seen amongst my peers in the last two months that strongly contradict this stance that 'Soccer is stupid, no one likes it, it will go away.'
I was driving in a neighborhood in the Bay Area on a nice day and I saw a dude about 12ish skateboarding in a crisp red Landon Donovan USMNT kit.
First, I was jealous, as that kit is FRESH and he looked better than I did right then, not to mention I haven't purchased that jersey, so I had some jersey envy in that moment too.
It got me thinking about when I owned my first US kit (probably not until 19?) and the fact that kids these days grow up with the USMNT as role models and a team to cheer for, and they wear their gear as well. This exposure didn't exist when I was in middle school ten years ago. My friend Shawn pointed out that yes, while it is cool an American kid is rocking the US jersey while skating, kids in Europe are rocking their national kits while actually playing instead of skating. We have to start somewhere though right? My friends and I always prized our jerseys as the height of our middle school fashion, so if you were wearing a jersey, it had to be of someone you really liked and would stand behind as a fan. None of this 'oh I guess I kinda like that team, my aunt and uncle got it for me' but real support. You weren't showing up rocking a Charlotte Hornets jersey without a good reason that you were wearing it. If young Americans think US soccer is cool, we are getting somewhere (and consider me Miles Davis.)
At the mecca of all things cool and fashion forward, Coachella, I was accosted by multiple MLS jerseys.
In case you
don't know what Coachella is live without the iFins, it is an indie/electronic music festival in Indio, CA (weekend 1, holler) that attendees would say is the most important place to be all year and the pinnacle of being ahead of trendiness.
It was here that I first saw a Chivas USA jersey as we pulled into the campground and parked.
At first I thought 'Chivas USA fans do exist?' but then realized that if one was wearing any outfit at Coachella, it was carefully curated to make a statement as you only get three days of showing your finest fashions to your fellow campers and the ridiculous magazines like US Weekly that cover it.
However this was no random sighting as later I saw an attractive female with an Henry NYRB jersey on Saturday afternoon. You must understand that for a girl to be wearing this outfit, it truly meant something. My own girlfriend spent a minimum of 6 hours picking, preparing, and matching her Coachella outfits and I was privy to at least 4 picture messages and 17 text message on my thoughts on said outfits. (Note, the lady and I follow the delicatessen's principle to looking at those of the other sex in public. "I'm still getting the ham sandwich, but the turkey looks nice today.")
She spent more time on those outfits then I did packing and preparing for the entire weekend! The fact a crispwhite Henry was gracing the Polo Fields was an affirmation of the league's success in itself. I am sure Don Garber will be happy to hear that the league has made it based on said fact.
My coworkers have thoughts on the new national team kit.
Not only do they have thoughts but they have preferences and favorites! from previous years. One coworker, who said he preferred preseason MLB to Champions League action, forwarded me a Deadspin video about the new US kits, and proceeded to let me know he thought the new ones looked like Waldo and he liked the blues from last year much better. At this point, another coworker stated that he liked the 2009 white (which I think is certainly one of the best of recent years) and that the denim jerseys of 94, although paired exceedingly well with a mullet, should probably see the light of day about never again. The fact that they not only care about the US jerseys but have solid opinions on them and would bring them up without me mentioning them is a certain leap forward. It would be a stretch to call either of these guys big soccer fans, and yet here we were discussing the finer points of the US third kit.
If nothing else, let these examples strengthen your case, you out there who annoy your coworkers with your discussion of the USMNT's latest friendly or who you think is going to win the golden boot in the MLS.
Continue bringing those topics up amidst the scorn and funny looks.
To you, rocking your US red kit or the Columbus Crew black kit as you hit up the dive bars when you go out in your city, keep rocking it. You are one of the taste makers and leaders of the next generation. To you, the MLS fan who drags his friend to a game and buys him a beer, keep showing the light to those in the darkness. To you, the annoying Facebook poster who posts highlights of MLS games and 'Goals of the Week' that your friends secretly watch and enjoy but don't ever comment or like, keep hitting that share button. Your posts are just as valid as the dude posting about what his frat is doing this weekend and the girl with the album of 287 duck face pictures from last night.
Seriously, a Wondo goal > all of the duck face pics in the world….except Alex…maybe.
To all my people spreading the gospel of the beautiful game, especially those of you not old enough to know what a cassette looks like but who bump Levels regularly (catchy isn't it), keep doing your thing.
Soccer continues to rapidly grab prominence and credibility in the US. We will lead this country to greatness, not on the pitch (unless our men's league counts, which certainly multiple teams think we are playing for the World Cup every time out), but as a country of rabid, well educated soccer fans who support their national league and team fervently.
The time will soon come when ESPN will show MLS highlights and have educated commentators (GASP!) on SportsCenter with legitimate highlight analysis. Until then, know that the younger generation loves the game as much as you do and has your back. Even if dubstep doesn't.
