For his final two issues on âSecret Avengers,â Ed Brubaker is shedding some light on John Steele and the Shadow Council after Steve Rogers and his group captured the original Super-Soldier last issue. What we get this issue are some hints about Steeleâs past and a flashback via digital telepathy to a mission he went on with Rogers back in World War 2. Thereâs a general sense of intrigue, but the issue never gets going, always on the verge of delivering something exciting and falling short.
What stands out immediately is the absence of Mike Deodato on art duties. Will Conrad, whoâs helped out on the past few issues, draws the entire issue and, thanks to Rain Beredo, there is some visual continuity. Sadly, itâs the continuity of overbearing, shiny, sickly glowing color art that burns itself into your retinas, striving for ârealismâ and finding only a world where all sources of light are neon beer signs. Thereâs no such thing are darkness here; the best you get is perpetual twilight.
Conradâs art suffers from stiff character work and faces that change shape panel-to-panel. His characters never look like theyâre in motion, only frozen in time, posing on one leg, arm thrust forward, trying their best not to fall over before someone can sketch them. Itâs hard to tell how much of Conradâs problems with faces is caused by his line work because the coloring plays so many tricks with light and shadow to add âtextureâ and âdepthâ that thereâs no way to tell what shadowing Conrad himself added beyond solid blacks.
The opening two pages are the best of the issue, both in writing and art, as we get a glimpse of Steele through the ages, fighting in one war after another. Those pages suggest a strange, broken man who canât escape a life of violence where itâs the same thing over and over again. His ties to the Shadow Council are only hinted at here, except not in a positive light. What we get here suggests that Steele used to have some problems with the Shadow Council.
One nice touch of this issue is a chance to see Steele and Rogers working together after issues of them fighting. Steele seems to genuinely like Rogers, happy that itâs a mission without the Invaders. Playing up the prospect of Steele looking at Rogers as a protégé or younger version of himself only adds to their current animosity.
âSecret Avengersâ provides some interesting glimpses into John Steele and his history, but doesnât reveal anything Earth-shattering. As the first of two issues focused on Steele, this feels like a set up for the real revelations next issue.

Rachel Alexandra first hit my radar screen in a big way on March, 14, the day she won the Fair Grounds Oaks in Louisiana by "only" 1 ¾ lengths. I was sitting in the press box at Oaklawn Park, getting ready for an afternoon of big prep races for the Kentucky Derby -- the Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn, the San Felipe at Santa Anita, Tampa Bay Derby from Tampa Bay Downs, and Louisiana Derby from the Fair Grounds.
While I was poring over the past performances for those races, an old friend, handicapper Paul Skelton, quietly said across the table we were sharing , "You might want to take a look at this filly running in the Fair Grounds Oaks."
"Who's that?" I asked.
"Rachel Alexandra," he replied. "She's something really special."
At that point in her career, Rachel Alexandra had won four of six starts, the biggest in the Grade 2 Golden Rod Stakes at Churchill Downs in late November. She'd had just one start in 2009, winning the ungraded Martha Washington at Oaklawn by eight lengths. Though it was just a $50,000 stakes against a nondescript group of overmatched fillies, Skelton was impressed. She was stabled at Oaklawn, and he'd seen enough of her in the morning to consider Rachel one of the best fillies he'd ever seen.
I went back to my Racing Form as the field for the Fair Grounds Oaks left the starting gate. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see on the television monitor that Rachel Alexandra had bounded to the front over a very sloppy track. I looked up from my Form as the field hit the top of the stretch. Calvin Borel, never one of my favorite riders, looked almost like a cartoon character sitting atop the filly. He was looking behind for some competition, twisting his head every which-way like a contortionist, almost turning around completely in the saddle to survey the landscape behind him and taunt the competition to come and get him. Rachel Alexandra just galloped on. Inside the final sixteenth of a mile, the jockey was gearing the filly down, seemingly trying to pull her up as the wire approached. She probably could have won by 20 lengths.
I was impressed, but this race was run over very sloppy racetrack and the quality of the competition was dubious. I needed to see more. Little did I know that this incredible running machine was just getting warmed up.
Rachel Alexandra returned to Oaklawn Park and made short work of her foes in the Grade 2 Fantasy, the track's top race for 3-year-old fillies, winning by 8 ¾ lengths as the 1-10 favorite. The rest, as they say, is history.
What Rachel Alexandra has done between the first Friday in May, when she won the Kentucky Oaks by a mind-boggling 20 1/4 lengths, and the first Saturday in September, when she defeated older male horses in the Woodward at Saratoga, is a campaign for all the ages.
There were still a few skeptics who felt the field for the Kentucky Oaks was subpar this year. So, after Jess Jackson bought her from breeder Dolphus Morrison for an amount that some have said is in the $10-million range, Jackson turned her over to trainer Steve Asmussen and sent her out in the Preakness. Her toughest opponent would prove to be Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird, who won the Run for the Roses by the biggest margin of any horse since Assault in 1946. She answered that bell, showing incredible early speed from the far outside post and had enough stamina to hold off the late-running Bird to win by a length.
Then it was back to a soft spot: a Grade 1 race against her own sex, in the Mother Goose at Belmont Park. She handled that assignment without drawing a deep breath. Borel was back to his old tricks, taking the opportunity to blow kisses to the crowd the length of the stretch as the daughter of Medaglia d'Oro cruised to the wire 19 ¼ lengths ahead of her two hapless opponents.
Then came her six-length crushing in Monmouth Park's Haskell Invitational of Belmont Stakes winner Summer Bird, who flattered the filly when he came back to win the Travers Stakes. My reaction when she pulverized the Monmouth field was simply, "Are you kidding me?"
Jackson then decided to double-jump his filly into some tougher competition, skipping the normal route into the older filly and mare division and instead taking on older colts and geldings in the Woodward, an historic race won by some of the game's biggest names ever.
Remind me not to get into a poker game with ol' Jess. He doesn't seem to be the bluffing type.
Rachel Alexandra "proved her mettle," as Jackson said after her diminishing head victory over the fast-closing Macho Again in the Woodward. If she ever got a breather in the nine-furlong race, it wasn't a very long one. She was hooked early and pushed to fast fractions by the 2008 Belmont winner, Da' Tara. Those fractions took their toll -- on Da' Tara, who was eased. Rachel kept going and going, hooked next by Past the Point, then by Whitney winner Bullsbay, and she still had enough left to hold off Macho Again, a Grade 1 winner whose big stretch run carried him to victory at Saratoga in last year's Jim Dandy.
I don't care if Rachel Alexandra runs again this year or not. She's done enough to be Horse of the Year no matter what the unbeaten Zenyatta does. I think she's in a league all her own.
And one more thing: the next time Paul Skelton tells me to look up from my Racing Form to watch a race, I'll be sure to do it.

Chapter One
Andressat, winter of the previous year
inter storms, one after another, cut off the high plateau of Andressat from the lowlands around it as Midwinter Feast neared. On the morning before the nightlong vigil, Meddthal Andressat, the Count of Andressat's second son and present commander in the north, woke to hear the thud of the inner door closing, then voices in the tower's main hall: exclamations, then quieter tones.
Someone, he gathered, had sent something to someone as a gift. Found it by the door. Sighing, he pushed back the covers, dressed quickly, and went out to see what was going on. Families did not normally come to the towers to leave gifts for their kin on duty, especially not during winter storms. Especially not without pounding on the door and coming inside. He thought immediately of treachery, poisoned food, perhaps, sent by an enemy.
"Whatever it is, don't eat it," he said, coming into the mess, then stopped short as he saw the wide eyes and horrified expressions turned toward him and the quick movement of men hiding something from their commander. "What?" he demanded. "Show me."
The sergeant who had served with him since Meddthal first gained command shook his head. "Sir, you don't want to see this."
"Of course I do. Stand aside."
"Sir, please. It's . . . it's horrible . . ."
Meddthal could feel the hairs on his arms rising; cold foreboding struck like a blow. His younger brother Filis had been missing since the previous summer, disappearing on a routine trip from Andressat to Cortes Cilwan. Almost certainly Filis had been captured by the one man in Aarenis who would want an Andressat son in his hands: Alured the Black, self--styled Duke of Immer.
"It's Filis," he said. "Isn't it?"
"There's a letter, sir. To Count Andressat."
Meddthal moved forward. "It's more than that by the way you're all acting. Stand aside. I must see to report to my father." He braced himself for horrors: Filis's head, Filis's body. Then he saw it, and his breath came short, his vision darkened.
The box had been made with great skill, leather laid over a framework of wood. Filis's face formed the top—-skillfully padded enough to show the contours, like a mask, though much flattened, the ears—-those distinctive ears—-forming a hideously decorative border to left and right. Meddthal struggled to think about that, not that it was Filis's face, the familiar face of a brother he had loved and quarreled with. Not—-absolutely not—-about how it had been taken from Filis, whether Filis had been skinned before or after death.
He struggled to stay upright, to breathe, to hold back the nausea that threatened to shame him in front of all. He became aware gradually that the sergeant's arm was around him, steadying him—-a strong, warm arm, and most of all a live arm. That his men were looking away from him, giving him time to recover, stirring about as if it were a normal morning and they were getting ready for another day. He dragged in one lungful after another of the chill air—-air that would never be warm after this. And looked again.
He could not unsee what he had seen. He could not unthink the thoughts that raced through his mind, deadly as a flight of arrows. He had known—-they had all known—-that Filis was likely dead, killed by Alured or at his command. They had told themselves that; they had even—-as his father had said aloud first—-hoped he was dead and past suffering. Had it been Filis's severed head . . . even a body bearing marks of torture . . . it would not have been so bad.
Filis's hair fell over the back of the box, carefully braided with ribbons in Immer's colors and formed into a decorative knot. On one corner was a scar Meddthal recognized from Filis's shoulder . . . then he saw the fine stitching that had attached that piece of Filis's skin to the others. A tube—-it must be the message tube with the letter to Count Andressat—-protruded obscenely from Filis's mouth.
Rage shook him as suddenly as horror had. That scum had planned all this to the last detail . . . to foul one of the year's holiest days, Sunreturn, with such horror . . . to make of it not the day of hope and joy Midwinter Feast had always been but to stain it with the memory of Filis's death.
"It was in a sack, tied with a green ribbon," one of the men said. "There was a message: Send it to Count Andressat as a Midwinter gift from his liege, it said." He pointed to the sack, crumpled on the floor, coarsely woven, and the ribbon with a wooden tag still attached.
Meddthal shook his head. "He has no liege, and it would kill him." To his surprise, his voice sounded almost normal.
"You're never going to hide it from him—-"
"No. I'm not going to hide it. But he will have word from me, to blunt the blade, before I send it. Now, however, I will open Immer's letter. Simthal, is the food ready?"
"For Midwinter, sir? I thought—-"
"We have much to do, and days are short. We will eat, and we will prepare for the attack that is surely coming." Already his mind was working again, offering alternatives and the problems with each. In Midwinter, no one could ride from this tower to Cortes Andres in one day's light . . . but had Alured's men sent a message directly to the Count? No . . . they wanted to unnerve the border guards first. "Tell the cooks: breakfast now. And we will observe most parts of the Midwinter ceremony, though we will not be fools and exhaust ourselves in games this day. We will honor Filis's memory best by saving Andressat from the same fate."
They nodded. Someone handed him a mug of sib, and he sipped cautiously . . . his stomach kept it down. The tears burning his eyes did not overflow. He took the tube from between the lips, leaving a gaping hole in the face, and untied the green and black ribbons.
It was written in blood; the rusty color could be nothing else. "Brother," he murmured, and kissed it. Filis had died, no doubt a terrible death, but this was proof he was no traitor, as some had thought. The words made it clear what had been done and when and how. A terrible death indeed. The box had not required all of Filis's skin . . . the rest had been made into a rug for Alured's bedside—-"and as I stand on it each day, so will I stand on Andressat: master of all." "The best parts" of Filis's broken body had been cooked and force--fed to the Count of Cilwan and his wife before they were killed and their bodies fed to dogs, their skins added to the rug.
So Alured had killed not only Filis but their sister, and his father had lost two children. Thank the gods their child, the count's grandson, was safe in Cortes Andres. A few tears slipped from Meddthal's eyes. Nerinth had been married to Cilwan young, unwillingly and had endured years with that—-Meddthal cut off the thought. It would do no good now to despise Cilwan's timidity and avarice. He blinked back more tears and read on.
The rest was yet more boasts and threats. Meddthal thought of burning it, saving his father that knowledge, but the old man would not thank him. He rolled the letter once more and put it back in the tube, then put the tube into his belt pouch.
Cooks had brought in bread, porridge, pastries, roasts; for a moment his stomach turned again. But vengeance required nourishment. Starving himself, heaving his food out: neither one would help him defeat Alured. He forced down a bowl of porridge and a slab of bacon. Others ate after seeing him eat. He went to the door and opened it, shut it behind him, then opened the outer door. A gray day, just enough light to see, barely past dawn. Low clouds like a lid shut them away from the sun. Wind cut through his clothes like a knife. He went back into the vestibule when the wind had frozen the tears on his face, and brushed the tiny ice chips away.
Kolfin was his best rider, and his own horse the fastest. Meddthal wanted to go himself, but if Alured did plan to attack—-and he himself would have—-in the next few days, he needed to be here to command the defense. He went back inside. "Kolfin."
Kolfin stood up from the table. "Sir?"
"Finish quickly. Take two days' ration, and you'll ride my horse to Cortes Andres with my letter. Be ready to ride when I've written it."
He sat down with pen and ink, and his mind blanked again. Filis. This . . . this abomination . . . but his father must know something, and as soon as possible. He wrote quickly, plainly.
Father. Bad news. Filis's death proved; Alured has sent—-
He paused. He could not say it all, not like this . . .
—-proof of what he did to Filis. It is beyond my words to say. Laid on our doorstep here last night; no doubt it is Filis. I expect attack when he thinks we are unmanned by grief; I remain here to command defense but will come at your command, bringing what was sent. I send also the letter he wrote you, written in what I am sure is Filis's blood, admitting he killed the Count of Cilwan and your daughter as well.
He sealed that, put it and the letter from Alured in a message bag, and gave it to Kolfin, who had already saddled Meddthal's horse. "Take a spare horse," Meddthal said. "Ride fast but warily. Those who did this may be looking to intercept any messenger."
"Yes, sir." Kolfin took the message bag; another soldier brought out another of the horses, saddled it, and transferred Kolfin's saddlebags to the second horse.
When Kolfin had ridden away, Meddthal set about readying for attack. By midday, he had completed that chore as well as sending couriers to the two nearest towers to warn them. "Half of you must rest this afternoon," he said. "If they attack, it will be when they think we have all spent a sleepless night in the dark after a day of grief and worry or perhaps drunken rage. Tomorrow—-or even the day after—-is when they will come."
"What about tonight, sir?"
"Tonight we will do as we always do. Today and tomorrow, however, we will rest as much as we can, to be fresh when they attack."
"And . . . that? Him?"
Meddthal looked at the table, at Filis's face staring upward from the top of the box. It felt—-it was—-indecent to leave it there like any other box. But he could not close it into the storeroom . . . or put it outside . . .
One of the youngest men, Dannrith, spoke up. "Sir, someone dyin' or dead should have a candle and someone by. They wouldn't of give him a candle . . . We should."
A scrape of boots on the floor as others considered that, and a low murmur, then they all looked at Meddthal. The silence lengthened as Meddthal tried to think, in a mind suddenly fuzzy, whether to say yes or no, where to put the thing, in here or in his quarters or . . .
"I'll stay with 'im," said another. And then a chorus of offers.
That settled it. "In here, then," Meddthal said. "Bring a trestle and a blanket. We'll do this right."
Very shortly the grisly box had been placed at one end of a plank, with a blanket laid flat below it and Meddthal's best cloak spread over it, hiding the face and making, with the blanket, a pretense of a body laid straight for burial. Though it was not yet sundown, they lit a candle, and one at a time, as if for a new death, each spoke a word about Filis, for all had at least seen him, if they had not known him.
Then Meddthal sent half of them to bed, to be wakened at full dark, and the rest took up their duties except for the watcher. At each turn of the glass another took his place. At full dark, when all assembled, the hearth had been swept clean and a new fire laid but not lit. Only the feeble glow of one candle outlined the shape on the board and the face of the one who sat beside him. The others turned their faces from the light and began the long night's watch for Sun-return.
When it was Meddthal's turn to sit beside his brother's remains, he wondered if his father would send for him or for the box alone.
eddrin, Count of Andressat, looked at the face of his dead son and wept. Rage burned in his heart, but grief drowned it for the moment, and he made no attempt to hold back the tears. Let them fall; let them flow; let them be emptied like a bronze bowl so the flame of vengeance could burn higher.
When the tears ended, he looked more closely. Honoring the dead, especially those who died in war, required the mourners to see and respect every mark life had made on them. "We'll give him his rightful colors," he said, and began unwinding the complex knot that the braided hair had been coiled into. "He'll not go under earth wearing that scum's." After the knot came the braids themselves. Three braids; his sons Narits and Tamir, Narits recalled from Cha earlier in the year and Tamir recalled from the south ward, each took one, and he took the last. Deft fingers unbraided the hair, pulled out the black and green ribbons.
Narits finished first. "You'll want just one braid, won't you, Father?" he asked.
"Yes—-we'll have to comb it all."
Narits took up the comb. "There's blood," he said.
"Of course there is," Tamir said. Next to Filis, he had been the hothead of the sons. "What did you expect—-"
"The hair's clean," Narits said. "They must have washed it, or this didn't bleed much—-" He had parted the hair and was peering closely at the scalp. "It looks . . . almost like . . . fingernails dug in. Not scratches."
The others had finished now and leaned over to look.
"Let me finish," Narits said. "I think there are more marks . . ."
"Of pain," Tamir said, turning away. "What does it matter?"
Narits ignored him and ran the comb through the hair, parting it every half fingerwidth to look for marks. "It's code," he said finally. "Like the old scrolls. Father, can you read it?"
Andressat looked. "Not like this. Can you copy it, Narits, one mark at a time, onto paper?"
"Yes, Father."
When he had done that, it was clear that the marks—-each a slightly curved line—-formed a definite design. "Alured's work," Tamir said. "Maybe an evil spell?"
"No," Andressat said. "No, it's Filis's." His voice wavered. "He . . . managed to give us warning. He must have known—-" He cleared his throat and went on. "Filis knew what was coming. With only his fingernails to use—-knowing Alured was going to send me his skin—-he used them where Alured would not see. Under his hair. Perhaps Alured told him he would leave the hair to make sure we recognized him. This—-in the old language of Aare, the old writing—-tells us that Alured is controlled by a demon inside him, a demon who looks out his eyes at times and has a different voice. That is like the stories from the north of the Verrakaien who stole bodies."
He looked around at his family and his most trusted servants. "Think on this, any of you who thought Filis might be a traitor. Captive, alone, tormented, yet he thought of us—-of saving us—-and tore his own skin to warn us. Think what courage that took." He bent down and kissed the hair, then the forehead, and finally the lips. "My son, you deserve every honor that we can bestow on you. You will be remembered as long as our lives endure. And you will not go under the earth but be borne aloft in Camwyn's Fire, as if with a dragon for your mount. From Esea came all life; back to Esea you shall go."
"By Camwyn's Claw," everyone responded. "It shall be done."
"Though first I must write to the north," Andressat said. "Lord Arcolin must know of this, and his king. Perhaps his captains in Valdaire can get word to the north even in winter."
wo days later, the funeral pyre stood ready on the cliff just outside the walls of Cortes Andres. On it lay the box, now drenched in oil, and in the box was Filis's badge. "If it is Camwyn's will that this fire may send every bit of Filis left below, wherever it may be, on the same smoke rising to the sky, then I invoke Camwyn's Curse," Andressat said. "By the Claw and the dragon who bore it, and by the power of Camwyn and the dragon together, I invoke it."
When they lit the fire, the flames roared up to the sky as if drawn by the air itself and burned the pyre completely; white ash lifted and swirled like snowflakes. Then far, far above, a white line of fire raced across the sky, from above Cortes Andres to the east, and vanished.
"Camwyn consented," Andressat said. He felt hollow of a sudden, and then a pain as if a horse had kicked him in the chest took all his breath, and he knew he was falling.

We stayed 2 nights at this hotel, and we were very happy. Room was large, clean, comfortable and quiet. Bathroom was awesome. They even have a free washer and dryer on 2nd floor, where we did some much needed clothes washing (they even provided the detergent). There was a terrific whole foods store in the next parking lot (walking distance). The staff was knowledgeable about local details and they were very attentive to service. Highly recommended.

Sing another song.
Nat and Jack were friends. Friends tend to over rate friends. I always laugh when they ask a trainer to or manager to rate his fighters. Is this the crutch you using?
I suppose if you think Nat is spot, on that Fitzsimmons is your #3 all time heavyweight too. And Corbett is what, #5?! Jeffries is 4-0, 4 KO's vs two of Nat's all time top five heavies. No other man on the list can come close to saying that. Johnson old beat the shell of Jeffries, and since Nat and Jack had an Ali and Cosell writer and fighter type of relationship, this must be Nat's friendly justification of why Johnson was the best. Just a hunch. Nat also said Jeffries beat the best competition.
And by the way, Fitz and Corbett are not in my top 15. I am objective. Try it sometime.
As to Grebfan's comment, yeah, Wills probably beats Johnson in 1915. It would not matter because Wills was probably too risky for Johnson to fight. Willard wasn't much of a boxer. He was big and slow, which is why Johnson probably risked the fight. Willard in my opinion was the most formidable fighter Johnson gave a title shot to. Oh, and the fight is completely mis understood. Johnson was not up 25-0 before getting knocked out. The fight was close to even. It was a tale of two fights. Johnson in control until round 15 or so, then Willard took command from rounds 16 to finish. Maybe Willard one 1-2 early rounds, and Johnson won 1-2 late rounds. Try reading the full round by round sometime or watching the near full fight. Other bogus claims about this fight were the heat was 105? Really? The weather archives don't say that. And Johnson's dive claim is hilarious too. Just like his claim of injuring his arm in round three vs Jim Johnson, when the entire crowd saw the injury in round ten!
Other foot notes: Corbett did not do well vs Jeffries in the second fight. You are wrong.
Witherpsoon is 5x the fighter of the lesser fighters who gave Johnson trouble.
Ali and Dempsey had some issues, but they had far less than Johnson.
School is out. I have work to do. Up next for you is paragraph formation, then some more news reads.

NIT: Drew lifts UNC over Miss. State
Published: Saturday, March 20, 2010 at 6:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 20, 2010 at 6:01 p.m.
STARKVILLE, Miss. — Larry Drew II kept North Carolina alive in the postseason.
He hit a shot over center Jarvis Varnado with 2 seconds to play to give the Tar Heels a 76-74 victory over Mississippi State on Saturday in the second round of the NIT.
The 6-foot-2 point guard drove to the basket and was able to get the shot over the 6-9 Varnado, who was second in the nation this season with 4.8 blocks per game.
"I saw Jarvis on my right, and I just wanted to give it a chance to go in," Drew said. "It was all instinct. I just wanted to get a shot off."
Will Graves made a contested 3-pointer — his fourth of the game — with 31 seconds left to give the Tar Heels a 74-72 lead, Barry Stewart tied it for the Bulldogs (24-12) with two free throws, setting the stage for Drew's game-winner.
"After they hit their free throws, I told Larry just to push it," UNC coach Roy Williams said.
He did just that, sending a high-arcing, left-hander over Varnado, the NCAA's career blocks leader.
"He was coming at me, and I knew he was going to take the shot," MSU center Jarvis Varnado said." He made one hell of a layup, give him credit."
North Carolina (18-16) will face either UAB or North Carolina State on Tuesday, with a trip to New York and the semifinals on the line.
Mississippi State was only able to get off a halfcourt heave at the final buzzer.
Graves was 6 of 10 from the field, including 4 of 6 from beyond the arc. John Henson had 12 points and eight rebounds for the Tar Heels.
Stewart led the Bulldogs with 18 points while Dee Bost and Varnado added 14 points each and Ravern Johnson had 13.
The Bulldogs opened the game on a 16-4 run, but UNC adjusted quickly on defense and roared back to take a 20-19 lead on a layup by Leslie McDonald. The Tar Heels led 36-33 at the half.

Adobe Flash Player and Reader with Critical Security Advisory
Adobe announced a critical vulnerability for its Flash Player 18.104.22.168 and 10.0.22.87 and earlier, along with the authplay.dll component in its Reader and Acrobat 9.x., that goes across platforms in Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Solaris.
System crashes and exploits are possible as a result. The CVE-2009-1862 vulnerability is already causing exploits in Adobe Reader, according to the Adobe security bulletin. The reports of these "limited, targeted attacks" are currently under Windows only.
Adobe is venturing to fix this problem for the Flash Player 9 and 10 release on July 30 for all platforms except Solaris, which should come a bit later. Reader and Adobe 9.1.2 should be addressed July 31 for Windows, Mac and UNIX.
A workaround in the meantime is to remove or rename authplay.dll in Reader and Acrobat, although a non-exploitable crash or error message could then occur when opening a PDF with Small Web Format (SWF) content, such as animated vector graphics. Adobe cautions about browsing untrusted websites (keeping antivirus definitions up to date) or even advises uninstalling the software.

Over the past 25 years and 3 model generations, the Mazda MX-5 Miata has shown that you don't have to be the best to be a massive success. The little, Japanese roadster has never been the absolute peak of automotive performance, but it's precise handling, good reliability and frugal running costs have helped make it a star. Autoblog recently tried to give you the experience of driving one on video, and now Xcar Films has made its own in an attempt to show what makes this droptop an icon.

It can touch very few people..As very few are 'actually' concerned with enviornment.But those who actually care for it,this ad will be heartfelt success for them. My commen- 'A silent way to shout your pain'.I liked it.
Beautifully art directed, quietly clever and painfully smart.
Nice, but take a look on Steven Burke's work: http://www.stevenburke.org/index.php?/works/poor-little-trees/
Who "inspired" who?
Parabéns a todos os envolvidos
No problem. I could link other "inspired" Havaianas ads here but I don't want to get myself carried away :)
yeah ok nice, thank you photoshop, but look at some real work done by steven burke about that!
Wrong copy, if you really look at the visual. First, it's many trees, not one. Second, these trees are cut, not fallen.
Someone did it better and faster....
I love it. Really sad to see it visually, but I loved how you did it.
ads beautifully directed like this give me a hard on. the copy is so befitting for this campaign, nice little tagline.

Warner Bros. Interactive have announced the next title in the Batman series as Batman: Arkham Origins, which will be available for the Wii U, PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. No mention of the PS4 or Xbox 720 was made. The game will be developed by WB Games Montreal instead of Rocksteady, the developer of the first two games. The setting is several years before the previous Arkham games, making Origins a prequel.
Players will take control of a much younger Batman, who meets several of the series' characters for the first time. In addition to the console title, a Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita title called Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate is also in development. Both the handheld and console games will launch on October 25th, 2013.

Lady Bulldogs hold annual softball tournament
New Albany was tested by some of the area's best teams and look ahead to what they can do in the remainder of their division schedule.
Hosting the New Albany Invitational at BNA Bank Park on Saturday, the Lady Bulldogs took on Belmont, Alcorn Central and Tupelo, finishing with a win in its first game and falling to the Lady Bears and Lady Wave.
In the first game against Belmont, the Lady Bulldogs had no problems hitting, as four players had multiple hits in the 13-3 win. Senior Shaneka Cullins had two doubles and an RBI to lead the offense, while Megan Dye, Shannon Goode and Kayla Pavlick each had two RBI and Dye had two hits. Lauren Cavender and Tamarria Ivy also had two hits each.
New Albany opened the second game against Alcorn Central building a 4-0 lead, but ultimately fell to the Lady Bears, 5-4. Alcorn Central tied the game in the sixth, and went ahead in that same inning. Lauren Cavender opened the bottom half of the inning with a double, but was later thrown out at home plate. New Albany had nine hits in that game and were led by Pavlick and Mallory Beaty, who each had two hits.
"It wasn't good at all. We had so many mistakes mentally and physically and no life," Lady Bulldogs' coach Shane Sanderson said. "We sat out a game (after Belmont), so maybe they got laxed, but as ball players, they've got to come out and be ready to play. "
In the final game against Tupelo, the Lady Bulldogs tied the Lady Wave early in the game, but eventually fell, 4-1.
Abby Stafford scored the first run for the Lady Wave in the opening inning, and New Albany answered with Cullins bringing in the tying run. Tupelo went ahead in the second inning and added its last two runs in the sixth off a single from Katie Rieves and a Lady Bulldog error.
"Tupelo's a really good team, and we knew they wouldn't make a lot of mistakes," Sanderson said. "We had a couple of plays that hurt us; lack of effort and base running were huge. We had too many pop ups, and we've been trying to preach and get a handle on that, but we haven't gotten that yet."
New Albany jumps back into division play on Monday, hosting North Pontotoc. The Lady Bulldogs need a win over the Lady Vikings or Shannon to make the playoffs.
"We're 1-1 in division and we have North Pontotoc next week," Sanderson said. "We have to beat them or Shannon, and we'd love to get them both so we can host in the playoffs. "

First - I've read the most recent posts on this - and I've struggled for over 8 hours on this... which I'm hoping won't just show how dumb I am...
I would like a heirarchial category output on an individual Page, or Category template. either would work fine. AND when the sub-sub-etc-category is clicked - a list of alphabetical posts.
I now have way too much jumbled info in my brain, and I can't figure out the simple solution:
Am I looking for an archive php parameter (can postbypost do this?)
- a get_posts (but that doesn't recognize child & parent relationships)?
- wp_list_categories? (All the navigation tree plugins that I've tried (Dagon Design/ Sobek's/ wp-dtree/ wenderhost/ Alex King's fold categories - all get that damn category error.)

Assessing the compatibility of farmland biodiversity and habitats to the specifications of agri-environmental schemes using a multinomial logit approach
Farmers participating in agri-environmental schemes (AESs) that are aimed at protecting biodiversity should ideally make decisions relating to the ecological management of their farms based on the habitat types found on their farms. In reality, a variety of economic, demographic, farm and farmer characteristics influence all the management decisions made by farmers, including those relating to AESs. In Ireland, the Rural Environment Protection Scheme (REPS) requires that farmers choose at least 2 biodiversity undertakings (BUs) from a menu as part of their AES contract. Using a multinomial logit model, the likelihood of farmers choosing different BUs was estimated using data from the 2007 National Farm Survey as a function of georeferenced habitat data. A comparison was then made between the probable selection of BUs with what would be considered the optimal selection from an ecological perspective. The results indicate that farmers' most likely choices of BUs only sometimes equates with the optimal ecological choices. This highlights deficiencies in the design of REPS, knowledge of which is very timely, given the imminent replacement of REPS by a new AES.

Josh, it's Medicaid not Medicare. Children don't qualify for Medicare.
It sounds to me like Reichert has a legitimate beef with SEIU. They're blowing up the first vote into a bigger deal than it is.
Ahava @1,
I'm hep to the difference between Medicaid and Medicare.
However, the SCHIP bill (a component of children's Medicaid) had a Medicare component to partially privatize Medicare. Reichert supported that. Lots of Dems, initially, did not.
"Ive got some interesting news in my column this week"
Nope, you lost me there.
Hat tip to comment 23 w7ngman on "Awkward" post by Lindy West
How about Reichert explaining away the fact that, whatever his vote on one item, he has consistently voted with the President and the Republican bloc on issues that damage not just children but all Americans?
I really don't know the full details on this, but could someone look at his voting record to see if he has voted in a good way on anything where his vote actually mattered? I mean, it's great if he'll even pay lip (or vote) service to quasi-progressive issues, but has he ever been there when it was a relevant vote?
@6 yeah, i mean his vote was basically meaningless since he knew Bush would veto it, we need to see meaningful votes, not this pandering psuedo-moderate crap
genius #7
Slog - Seattle's Only Pandering Pseudo-Moderate Crap
Juan - You hit the nail on the head. Reichert wants to get fluff good press for his Wild Sky bill, or his no-brainer Schiavo vote, but he has taken over 2200 votes in three years and he has always been there for Republicans when they've needed his vote on the major issues that face us.
BTW, on health care this year he voted against the Medicare Prescription Drug Price Negotiation Act (HR4), one of the Democrats First 100 Hours bills, he voted against the Children's Health and Medicare Protection Act of 2007 (HR 3162), a bill that 220 Democrats voted for and 194 Republicans voted against.
Bzzt. He's a classic Bush Profile voter, and the Eastsiders need to turf him out on his lying, non-Green-River-Killer-catching, fraudulent ass.
What Fnarf said @10
Let me be exact: Reichert has taken 2278 votes. He needs to be made accountable for more than just one two votes, but an entire voting record that when actually studied with human eyes, as opposed to Perl scripts, show he consistently votes with his party when then need him to, and has voted against a number of the bills the eventually safely voted for in the end.
The bill Reichert refused to vote for was going to prevent the privatization of Medicare by over-subsidizing private alternatives. That's why he didn't vote for it, because he wants to see Medicare destroyed. The bill he did vote for was a compromise with the Senate where the Democrats pulled the over-subsidy out of the negotiation.
SEIU has nothing to apologize for.
Reichert has taken 2278 votes. why couldn't they use any number of those votes for their robocalls?
Go get him, SEIU.
Go give him a list of his 2,250 bad votes.
Go tell him we are going to kick his ass out of office.

Brothers help lead NA defense
When the Bulldogs' defense lines up against M.S. Palmer this week, they will see one of the largest lines they will face this season and will be partially led by two brothers with the unique opportunity to play together.
Shawn and Shane Smith began their football careers in middle school before an ACL injury sidelined Shane his freshman year.
"I couldn't play the next two seasons, so in the middle of my junior year, I got back at it as far as working out with the team," he said. "We have something special here, with me and Shawn and the other twins (Cade and Wade Simmons) lining up together. It's pretty cool."
While Shane rehabbed, he had the support of his brother to make it back to the field.
"At the very beginning, he didn't think that he'd be able to come out and do as good as he's doing, and I told him to keep working hard," Shawn said. "It feels good to play on the same team and to be able to look up to each other, and he's doing really well after knee surgery."
With Shane coming back this season, head coach Ron Price is glad to see the impact the senior twins have made for the undefeated 'Dawgs.
"The defense kind of feeds off of them, and I'm thankful to have both of them and thankful that they're having such successful senior seasons," he said.
Price is looking for another strong defensive effort as the Dragons enter the game at 3-0 and possess a lot of strength on their lines.
"I think a lot of folks will be surprised when they see Palmer walk out on the field and with the kids they have playing for them," he said. "Their offensive line averages over 300 pounds, and they've done a very good job running the football all season."
Stopping their running game will be essential, as well as making sure the Bulldogs' offense stays on track this week.
"I don't think they've thrown a pass the entire season, so in practice, they're not having to defend the pass any," Price said. Hopefully they'll have a hard time defending our passing game."
For the brothers, they are looking forward to a physical match-up, but one they think the Bulldogs can handle.
"They have big linemen, and Coach Garrett is preparing us to come off hard and stay low," Shane said.
"They're probably the biggest line we'll go against this season, but It will help us a lot, and I'm glad we're playing them in preparation for the big boys in division play," Shawn added.
Kickoff for the homecoming match-up is set for 7:30 p.m.

The problem of detecting and localizing missing scatterers (faults) inside a known grid of small cross-sectional perfect-electric-conducting cylinders is dealt with. The case of a TM scalar 2-D geometry is considered, and the Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) spectral estimation technique is employed. Two different scattering models are employed and compared. The first one aims at localizing present objects within a free-space background medium. The second one aims at detecting the faults and exploits the Green's function of the full grid. The limitations of the first approach are pointed out and connected to the maximum dimension of the data space. Then, the second approach performs successfully when the fault number is lower than scattering objects.

Viacom, Yahoo enter web search distribution deal [digitalmediaasia.com]
Media company Viacom has entered into a multi-year search marketing and Web search distribution agreement with internet company Yahoo. Yahoo is to provide multiple search marketing and web search services to Viacom's online properties, including BET.com, CBSNews.com, CMT.com, MTV.com, NickJr.com, SHO.com (Showtime Online) and VH1.com.
But I've got a question about this deal. So, Viacom/CBS gets special Yahoo! advertising, services, etc out of this deal. What exactly is Y! getting out of it?
What I'd ideally like to see is to be able to download any video I want (tv episode, music video, etc) and watch it whenever I want. Ideally I'd like it to be free, although *very cheap* (think iTunes cheap) is something I'd live with. And with minimal DRM - not because I want to pirate it, but because I don't want to be tied down to a particular platform or media application.
Of course, I know Viacom wouldn't like this.
So I ask: what's Y! get out of this?
People spending the big bucks are going to say, "hey, yahoo is a player in this field."
